Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 78 One-Eyed Demon Assassin

The military strategist stationed at the mountain post station naturally also saw the situation at the port below the mountain.

They also began organizing a counterattack, clearing out the demons along the mountain route.

After those two terrifying magical attacks from the foot of the mountain, some demons had already fled, and even the general-level demons dared not linger.

After half an hour of clearing operations, the port and the route up the mountain have been cleared.

"Old Xu, I didn't expect it would be you coming to help. You've worked so hard!"

"Old Yao, it's been tough for you guys to hold the post station. I've brought the brothers over."

The two military mages met and exchanged ideas, both of them having faced considerable difficulties this time.

The personnel responsible for the garrison are not many: a high-ranking instructor and a military magistrate regiment of over a hundred people. That's the configuration.

After all, this is just an observation post, and it would be pointless and a waste of combat power to station too many people here.

Normally, it's just small groups of demons attacking, which the hundred or so mages at the post station can easily wipe out.

Groups of demons numbering in the thousands are quite rare. If this happens, you should call for help immediately.

Wang Teng recovered some of his magical energy and arrived at the port in a flash, casually dealing with a few thorn demons.

His arrival drew everyone's attention, and as the best forward of the night, his performance was evident to all.

Whether they are military mages or academic elites, they all show a sense of respect and admiration; the strong always receive extra attention.

"Wang Teng, come over here for a moment, let me introduce you."

"This is Instructor Yaohui of the post station, responsible for guarding this isolated island observation post."

Xu Yuan enthusiastically pulled him to Yao Hui's side.

"This is Wang Teng, the captain of Mingzhu Academy, a meritorious member of our academy. As the pioneer, he broke through the tentacle thorn demon horde."

"Hello, Instructor Yaohui!"

"Hello, I saw your performance clearly. I couldn't help but cheer for you at the mountaintop rest stop!"

"Truly worthy of being elites from Pearl Academy!"

"You flatter me!"

Wang Teng smiled and responded politely, already aware of the hardship of life at sea after only half a day.

Not to mention the military mages who spend long hours on the islands; their hardships are no exaggeration.

"Alright, let's talk more at the inn!"

"Yu Tong, arrange for the earth-elemental mages to move the warships to the port warehouse."

"Also, have our men bring the supplies to the post station."

"Pack up the spoils and hurry to the post station, lest the thorn demon realizes what's happening and we're back to a protracted battle."

Xu Yuan turned around and called out to his adjutant, then put one arm around Yao Hui and the other around Wang Teng, placing his hands on their shoulders, and headed towards the mountaintop.

"yes!"

Yu Tong immediately carried out the order seriously, and began to mobilize the military mages to cast earth magic to move the warship.

"Elites of the academy, follow the military mages to process the spoils of war. Speed ​​things up, don't just stand around."

"We must seize this brief period of safety!"

Yu Tong immediately looked at the academy group and assigned a task: to deal with the tentacle thorn demon.

As an edible demon, the Tentacle Spike Demon is valuable not only for its tentacles but also for the bone spurs on its body.

Bone spikes can be used as disposable magical tools, easily penetrating slave-level demons, and can even penetrate advanced-stage slaves, making them a rare offensive weapon.

This operation resulted in the slaying of a large group of tentacle thorn demons, yielding extremely rich spoils, including even their essences. As an adjutant, I possess the Soul Vessel.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"The difference is huge..."

Qian Fu, following the example of the military strategist, removed the bone spur. Seeing Wang Teng and the two instructors leaving, his eyes were filled with envy.

"Haha~ You'll get used to it."

"Our instructors operate this way: among the military mages, whoever kills the most demons and is the strongest earns respect!"

"If you're envious, you can come here!"

Zhao Qian grinned. Among military mages, there weren't many twists and turns; they were all straightforward, which earned them the trust of everyone.

"We'll see."

Qian Fu smiled but didn't say anything, and began to deal with the spoils of war.

The port was bustling with activity as people quickly packed up their spoils and others moved warships around.

At the foot of the mountain, a huge warehouse was built. The warehouse was a huge cave space created by drilling through the mountain's massive rocks.

Apart from the main gate being blocked by thick rocks, there were no other entrances, making it a relatively safe place to store warships.

Otherwise, if the warship remained at sea, it might sink to the bottom of the sea in less than a day.

Time was running out for everyone; only half an hour later, the tentacle-like demons began to gather again.

"retreat!"

As the observer, Yu Tong kept a close eye on the surroundings and calculated the time. Half an hour of safe time was already quite good.

The sound magic spread, covering a large area as always.

Everyone immediately stopped moving, their bodies covered in bone spikes and tentacles hanging from their shoulders, and they all ran towards the path leading to the mountaintop.

The mountains on Green Field Island are only three or four hundred meters high, stretching out along the outer sea and blocking the sea breeze.

The post station was built on the inner side of the mountaintop, offering a wide view and shelter from the impact of storms. It was also the closest to the port, allowing for immediate evacuation or the receipt of support.

"That's where the tentacle-thorned demon horde is entrenched."

"We are at the head of Green Field Island, and they are at the tail of Green Field Island."

"They're only a little over four kilometers apart!"

"I conducted an investigation and found that the tentacle thorn demons over there are the main force, and there is a one-eyed thorn demon leader who is at the level of a Grand Commander."

Yaohui stood at the top of the signal tower at the post station, pointing into the distance through the strong wind and heavy rain.

"A president-level figure, how troublesome!"

Xu Yuan looked worried. With his rich experience, he could tell how vigorous the life force and how strong the defense of a Grand Commander-level demon was.

Moreover, it's difficult to achieve a one-hit kill; it relies on slowly wearing down enemies with magic, requiring several high-level destruction mages to act simultaneously.

Otherwise, it would be extremely easy for the demons to escape. If a demon of the Grand Commander level were to run away, humans would basically be unable to catch up and could only watch helplessly.

Not to mention that this is an island, and we are facing a siren. If the siren senses something is wrong, it can dive into the sea. What can you do then?

"I have a way to kill with a single blow!"

Wang Teng spoke up; he had rarely encountered a Grand Commander-level sea monster, and he didn't want to let it go.

As a top-tier space-type demon at the commander level, he is not afraid of any demon of the same level, but he cannot cross major realms.

"Oh~ Tell me about it!"

Yaohui's eyes were bright; he valued this young man highly and was looking forward to his solution.

"Alright, you brat, hurry up and tell me. Stop hiding it, and stop acting all high and mighty!"

Xu Yuan laughed and scolded, then reached out and patted Wang Teng hard on the back. Since there was a way, he didn't mind taking a chance.
