Strategic Adjustment, Shaman's Prayer

Divine Grace Cemetery.

Inside the central military tent, temporarily set up by lifestyle professionals.

At this moment, there weren't as many people here as before.

Only Li Yunfei, his deputy Li Chunsen, Chen Wanqiu, and Teacher Li Ming, who had just entered, were present.

"Teacher Li."

"Just now, Lin Xuan said he had important intelligence and asked me to invite the highest-ranking official I could find."

Chen Wanqiu said, handing the ox horn to Teacher Li Ming.

"No need, you can just talk to him, we'll listen from the side," Teacher Li Ming smiled, not taking the ox horn.

"This..." Chen Wanqiu looked at the other two army commanders.

The two of them smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

"Alright."

Chen Wanqiu bit her lip, injected magic into the ox horn, and transmitted her voice, "Lin Xuan, go ahead, Teacher Li and Commander Li are both next to me."

Inside the dungeon.

Lin Xuan received the message and was momentarily stunned.

The upcoming intelligence was extremely important.

But there was no sound of Teacher Li Ming or the others in the transmission, so should he speak?

Whoosh whoosh—

Lin Xuan was still in a daze.

From a distance, monsters were running towards his location.

Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged; he patted the purple golden gourd beneath him, telling it to take him to Irena.

Then, he picked up the ox horn and replied.

"I just finished exploring the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace and discovered an army of Otherworld Demons."

"Oh, you found an army, how many?" Chen Wanqiu was startled, asking subconsciously.

"At least two hundred thousand!" Lin Xuan uttered a thunderous shock!

"Two hundred thousand?!"

Several astonished voices came from within the ox horn, and after a moment of silence, they rang out again.

"Lin Xuan, the commander wants me to ask you, can this be confirmed? Is there any basis?"

"Yes, yes," Lin Xuan paused, "I found thirty-seven thousand Otherworld military tents in the dungeon on the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace."

As his words fell, the ox horn was silent for a long time before vibrating again.

This time, the voice that came out was Li Yunfei's, whom Lin Xuan had briefly communicated with in the military camp earlier; Lin Xuan recognized his voice.

"Lin Xuan, can this be confirmed?"

"This matter is too significant; if it's true, I'll award you a first-class merit!"

"Absolutely, Commander."

The ox horn was quiet again for a while, then Teacher Li Ming's voice rang out.

"Lin Xuan, given your approach to things, you must have roughly investigated how many people are still on the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace, right?"

"There are probably about ten thousand more."

"Alright, you stay put over there for now." The ox horn paused for three seconds, then rang again, "Forget it, you kid definitely won't be able to sit still."

"Alright, gather all your Skeleton Soldierss in three minutes."

After saying this, Lin Xuan waited for two or three minutes, but no more sound came.

"Gather them together, what does that mean?"

Lin Xuan frowned, then, thinking of Teacher Li Ming's profession, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Shamans aren't particularly strong in the support echelon.

But the person on the other end was the number one in the country!

Was Teacher Li Ming going to buff him from a distance?!

Thinking of this.

Lin Xuan communicated with Irena and the others, then headed to the rendezvous point.

On the other side.

Inside the central military tent, Commander Li Yunfei frowned.

The news Lin Xuan reported was simply too explosive.

So explosive that he still couldn't believe it.

Two hundred thousand.

According to the current 50/50 military system unified between Blue Star and the Otherworld.

A superior unit is composed of five subordinate units.

In other words.

A squad has approximately nine to twelve soldiers.

Five squads form a platoon.

Calculated by squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, and army.

The Moro Realm had deployed a division's worth of troops in this dungeon at Divine Grace Cemetery!

"Thirty-seven thousand military tents."

"Based on the Demon Race's behavior at the Guanghan Palace Ruins as described by Zhang Fan and the others previously."

"The other side has definitely deployed an entire division, plus one to two regiments of militia as cannon fodder."

"This is big trouble."

Li Yunfei's brows were tightly furrowed, and even Teacher Li Ming, who was beside him, seemed somewhat distracted.

A division had been deployed.

This meant that there was at least one Third-Tier Demon Race member inside the dungeon!

If Lin Xuan was unlucky.

Then the danger would be immense.

However, his teacher had previously entered Divine Grace Cemetery and said that a large number of Demon Race members were coming out of the dungeon.

If Lin Xuan stayed on the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace, he might not be in danger.

"Commander Li, you make the arrangements; I need to tell my student some things."

With that, Teacher Li Ming pulled Chen Wanqiu away.

Only Teacher Li Ming and his deputy Li Chunsen remained.

After a brief exchange, the two immediately reported the intelligence to the Jianghai City Military Region.

The Jianghai City Military Region only had one division's worth of troops.

And most of these troops were used to maintain the dungeon between Jianghai City and Hang City.

Now, so many Otherworld Demons had appeared.

But Jianghai City couldn't resolve it!

"This is the prelude to an all-out war," the division commander of the Jianghai City Military Region sighed twice, then quickly reported the matter to the Southeast Military Region Commander.

Soon.

Li Yunfei, at the front of Divine Grace Cemetery, received an order.

Stop entering Divine Grace Cemetery.

Wait for the Hang City troops to arrive, then enter together!

"This..." Li Yunfei was dumbfounded.

He had guessed that Hang City would send reinforcements.

But now, stopping entry into Divine Grace Cemetery, what about Lin Xuan?

Just then.

Teacher Li Ming returned to the central military tent.

"Commander Li, there's no need to worry about Lin Xuan's matter anymore."

Teacher Li Ming smiled, "Lin Xuan's safety is not an issue; he might even give us a surprise."

"We only need to tie down the Demon Race members inside Divine Grace Cemetery..."

As these words were spoken.

Li Yunfei and Li Chunsen in the room were slightly stunned.

What did that mean?

Just a moment ago, he seemed ready to fight over Lin Xuan's safety.

Why was he suddenly not worried anymore?

The two were a bit confused.

Teacher Li Ming didn't say much; he turned and left the tent again.

A division-level force had appeared in the dungeon within Divine Grace Cemetery.

The other side was very likely to have more than one Third-Tier Demon Race member.

He needed to prepare to face the battle.

At the same time.

On the other side.

Lin Xuan felt better than ever before.

"Holy crap! This feeling is too amazing!"

Lin Xuan was not in Lich King Form at this moment, but his attributes were comparable to being in transformation!

Just five minutes ago.

He had rendezvoused with Irena and his other contracted beasts, then continuously summoned Skeleton Soldierss.

When he had gathered one hundred thousand Skeleton Soldierss.

Just as he was wondering if Teacher Li Ming was going to buff him.

The ox horn vibrated.

Then.

Teacher Li Ming's voice rang out.

"Lin Xuan, how many Skeleton Soldierss have you summoned?"

"One hundred thousand."

"Very good." Teacher Li Ming's voice paused, "Tell me truthfully, were you not on the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace before?"

"Uh..." Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, thought about it, and finally admitted, "Yes, I was on the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace before."

"Very good, very good." Teacher Li Ming was very happy, "That proves you now have four dungeon cores, and you're only missing the Fifth Level of the Underground Palace to control the entire dungeon, right?"

"Yes."

"Good, good, good." Teacher Li Ming repeated 'good' three times.

This was the first time Lin Xuan had seen Teacher Li Ming so emotional.

"Very good," Teacher Li Ming continued, "There's a Third-Tier Demon Race member in the dungeon; if you control the dungeon, first locate his position."

"If he's in the dungeon, close the teleportation mechanisms on all levels."

"If he's not in the dungeon, only close the entrances and exits of the First Level of the Underground Palace and the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace."

At this point, Teacher Li Ming was silent for three seconds.

"Alright, now place the ox horn on the ground, with the speaking end facing the sky."

"Teacher, what are you..."

On the other side.

Teacher Li Ming chuckled:

"Haha, the Shaman is the only professional in the world who can provide buffs remotely."

"You'd better be ready for what's coming."

"However, I suggest you remove all your buffs before this."

"After my buffs are applied, you can then stack yours."

"No problem!" Lin Xuan's eyes lit up.

He had been a bit tired from summoning too many Skeleton Soldierss during the previous test, so he had applied a few beneficial buffs.

Now, hearing Teacher Li Ming's suggestion, he quickly canceled all beneficial effects.

The next second,

He heard a series of unintelligible prayers coming from the ox horn.

These prayers grew louder and more resonant.

Immediately after, all the surrounding Skeleton Soldierss, contracted beasts, including himself, all gained a status effect.

"Shaman's Prayer": Special buff, all attributes +100%, all abnormal resistance +50%, all resistance +50%...
