114: Special Mission - Counter Sniper (II)

"Captain Andre..."

"Later, three more Scout Wizards will report to you."

"Including Bernat from your team, your squad will have four Scout Wizards. You'll need to establish effective communication with them."

"The primary task of the Scout Wizards is to provide you with basic information such as the location and strength of the Black Wizards; they will not participate in your squad's combat."

Mentor Jordan said very sternly:

"I emphasize again, your mission this time is—counter-sniping!"

"It's not about protecting the convoy's potion resources; that's not your concern."

"Chopping off every black dog's paw that reaches out is your primary task!"

"The more you kill, the greater your contribution to the Academy. You are the carnivorous hunters in the dark, not the shepherds protecting the flock, understand?"

"Understood!" X6 ... "Kill, kill, kill." X6 ... Everyone roared in unison ... "Good."

"My Devil Squad should have such a spirit."

Mentor Jordan nodded in satisfaction.

"Below is the top-secret information for this mission. What you need to do is?"

"Absolutely keep it secret, never leak it!" X6.

"The breakthrough point for this counter-sniping mission, I've placed on Grimm."

"Grimm has already become an Advanced Wizard Apprentice and has mastered the segmented casting of Exploding Fireball and Magic Whirlwind, two Rank 0 Advanced Wizardry."

"So, from the data on paper—"

"Grimm already possesses the combat power of a Peak Wizard Apprentice."

..."Ah..." X5.

The five members of the Devil Squad all exclaimed in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

Adler's voice was the loudest, his eyes widened the most, and his mouth was agape in a huge O-shape, probably large enough to fit a goose egg.

"How could it be so fast?"

Scout Wizard Bernat muttered in a daze.

"Is this the speed of a genius?"

Support Wizard Monica also couldn't help but say.

"Grimm, this time he's truly a dragon emerging from the abyss. After this mission, he will surely become famous throughout the world."

Assault Knight's eyes were filled with envy.

As for Adler, he still stared at Grimm with his mouth wide open, as if he didn't recognize his good friend of over a decade.

Captain Andre Wizard was the quickest to recover, and he let out a warm laugh:

"Grimm, congratulations."

"Once you enter the advanced ranks, you leap into a vast ocean, a dragon soaring through the heavens; life will be different from now on."

"From now on, the prestige of our Devil Squad will depend entirely on you."

Everyone also recovered and expressed their sincere blessings and good wishes to Grimm.

Adler even gave Grimm a tight bear hug, with such force as if to choke Grimm to death. Unfortunately, Grimm was no longer the same as before; he easily defused his bear hug strangulation.

But seeing Adler's stubborn refusal to let go, looking as if Grimm had deceived him, Grimm finally promised two bloody marys before Adler was willing to release him... "Haha..."

"This time, it's stable."

"With Grimm here, we're sure to achieve a good result."

"Indeed, a Peak Wizard Apprentice commanding Bio-armor, I estimate we can take down one or two of those guys on the Red List bounty..."

"That's right, Grimm, this time we're counting on you to carry us..."

"Yes, Grimm, the core of this battle will be centered around you. Work hard; my retirement money depends entirely on you..."

"Good brother, this mission is so big, there will definitely be many Red List Black Wizards coming. At that time, if you cut off three heads, achieving the solid status of a Peak Wizard Apprentice, I'll carve a statue for you..."

"Alright, alright..."

Grimm quickly tried to dissuade them. This was getting more and more exaggerated. If they kept talking, Grimm would become omnipotent, directly taking out all those Black Wizards by himself.

"For this mission, I also deeply feel that with great power comes great responsibility."

"Don't worry, I will give two hundred percent of my strength and severely punish those Black Wizards."

..."Hmph..."

Mentor Jordan snorted heavily.

"Don't get too happy too soon."

"As you said before, this commotion is very big, and there will definitely be guys on the Red List bounty coming."

"This counter-sniping operation is even more about the face and vital interests of our Wizard Academy, and it also concerns how other Academy Wizards will evaluate you when you go out on missions in the future."

"If you show your might and gain fame this time, people will look up to you when you go out."

"If you suffer a crushing defeat and lose all face this time, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to step on you. At that time, do you think you'll still have a good life?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's excited expressions also solidified.

Having experienced the cruel competition rules of the Mist Coast, everyone understood the truth and importance of Mentor Jordan's words... "Don't worry."

"Mentor Jordan..."

The young Grimm at this moment had an endless fire in his heart, eager to burn all the enemies targeting the Academy to ashes.

"We haven't been slacking for the past two years. When our Devil Squad takes action, if those Black Wizards dare to show their heads, we'll kill one if one comes, and a pair if two come."

"Alright, I've seen your courage and responsibility."

"But a victorious general never fights unprepared battles. You should still discuss tactics and cooperation carefully."

"During this operation, I need to be stationed at a resource point on Mist Island, so you'll have to rely on yourselves."

..."Cough cough..."

After Mentor Jordan left, Captain Andre began to deploy tactical guidelines.

"According to the mission situation, our pressure is immense, so we must act quickly."

"First, logistical resources must be well secured."

"Later, I will go to the Academy logistics to claim the mission-exclusive guarantee: three standard units of combat potion allocation per person and a combat budget of three thousand magic stones."

"You must make good use of these three thousand magic stones to procure more powerful equipment and life-saving items."

"Second, this time I plan to adopt an extreme assault plan of 'two fakes and one real,' mixing the genuine with the spurious, which is our rehearsed Operation 64."

"Later, Grimm, Anthony, Adler, you all go and paint the exterior of your Bio-armor with identical jungle camouflage."

"The equipment will also be the same: standard Assault Knight sets."

"Our mission this time is—rapid response, rapid assassination."

"Do you have any questions?"

"No questions! Rapid response, rapid assassination!" X 5 ...
