Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1361: Aetheria Empire Part 8

Henry stood up from his chair in astonishment. His jaw nearly dropped as he scrutinized the emblem on Zhao Kai’s hand.

Others won’t know, but those in the military had a special method to identify the emblem to authenticate its legitimacy.

And as the General, he could instantly detect the emblem to be authentic and that it belonged to their Scout Army.

In the blink of an eye, Henry already appeared in front of Zhao Kai.

"Where did you say your Guild Leader found this?" He asked solemnly.

"In the Oracle Region." Zhao Kai responded swiftly. Based on Henry’s change of attitude, it was evident that he finally realized the significance.

"Oracle Region..." Henry took a deep breath.

There was indeed a scout army scheduled to travel to the Oracle Region.

However, according to the intel, there shouldn’t be any dangers there.

"What other information do you know?" Henry stared at Zhao Kai and questioned.

The tone was icy, but Zhao Kai and the others knew it was directed at the incident.

’Well, how am I supposed to know more?’ Just when Zhao Kai was helpless, he suddenly received updated information from Xu Feng.

Lin Feng: Discovered an NPC from the scout army named Terry. Do request immediate assistance from the military if you’re there. Tell them there’s a Tier 4 Summoner enemy lurking in the Oracle Region.

Zhao Kai’s body jolted in shock.

"What’s the matter?" Henry narrowed his eyes. He had a bad premonition regarding Zhao Kai’s reaction.

The latter didn’t even react this much under his pressure, but now he was behaving abnormally.

In response to the question, Zhao Kai didn’t beat around the bush and relayed the information.

Sometime later, Henry’s aura began to rise.

"A Tier 4 Summoner lurking in the Oracle Region... just who dares to target our Aetheria Empire!" Henry was fuming. In times of crisis, there could still be inhumane people betraying them and joining the Colossuses side.

These traitors of humanity deserved nothing but condemnation.

"Then about the reinforcement?" Zhao Kai took the risk to ask. Based on the message, he was certain that Xu Feng must be in danger. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked him to send help.

Henry extended his hand. "I’ll send an elite army to head over there with the commander being a Tier 3 attacker."

As much as Henry wanted to personally go over there, he could not afford the possibility that it might be a misdirection.

A misdirection not from Zhao Kai, but the enemy. He had heard news of the Vanguard Guild’s contribution to warhorses.

Hence, their credibility was rather high.

Moreover, Vanguard Guild Leader Lin Feng was someone vouched for by many prominent people, including the renowned Herbalist Elias.

Although the information was strictly locked to a certain degree of rank, he was lucky enough to be able to access the file.

"Thank you, General Henry." Zhao Kai cupped his fist and gave his thanks.

’Feng, please hang in there. We’re coming to you soon.’ He thought to himself, hoping that everything was well on his side. At the same time, he blamed himself for using the Gluttony EX skill early on.

While Zhao Kai took this incident as a lesson, elsewhere, Xu Feng was currently experiencing his worst moment since his reincarnation.

...

Oracle Region

"Boss, there’s more hounds here," Ken shouted in alarm.

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes and increased his perception. In the blink of an eye, he detected four hounds up ahead, each one exuding a powerful aura.

"No choice but to brute force through. Absolutely do not delay our movement!" He commanded and warned solemnly.

"Every person is for themselves. We must break through the sphere of influence of the Tier 4 Summoner."

"YES, BOSS!"

Almost immediately, the Demoness Army assumed the phalanx formation.

The phalanx was a tight, rectangular military formation of heavy infantry, where soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, overlapping large shields to form a shield wall with their spears projecting forward.

The intent was to create a formidable, almost impenetrable front against frontal assault, but vulnerable on flanks and uneven terrain.

Naturally, in this case, only the Tanks were placed on the foremost front, whereas the DPS and more fragile classes hid in the back to throw their offensive spells.

A Tier 4 Summoner was simply too overwhelming.

Xu Feng knew this formation meant that those lagging behind or unfortunate enough to be caught on the flank or behind were going to forfeit their lives.

Hence, he made sure only players were placed in these vulnerable positions.

Even those DPS in the Demoness Army were placed in a protective position.

Although with the Army Camp, the NPCs would never have a permanent death as long as the player paid enough money for their resurrection, Xu Feng still had no intention of losing money like this.

"Just how powerful is this Tier 4 Summoner?" While Xu Feng was busy strategizing their current plight, CarnageBound lashed out in frustration.

Aside from the time he was thrashed by Cool Wind, he had never suffered so miserably.

An enemy that they hadn’t even seen a shadow of was capable of making them flee like panicked rats.

How frustrating was that?

"Shut up with the dumb question already." Carmen scolded in response. Her man was busy thinking about strategy, and this person just had to question the obvious.

Did someone call him a mute or what?

Just because you don’t speak doesn’t mean others will treat you as a mute.

Or was he that desperate for attention and wanted some screen time?

"CarnageBound, stay quiet if you don’t have any inputs." Evelyn chimed in and reprimanded the former. They were still on the run, so it was really inappropriate to be lashing out or ranting at the moment.

Being scolded by two women at nearly the same time for speaking out, CarnageBound could only lower his head in shame.

’Tier 4... I’ll reach that tier one day too and bully this enemy.’ He vowed internally to get vengeance.

Alas, his vow was destined to be off-screen, granted that Xu Feng was going to take the spotlight.

"I’ll distract the Tier 4 Summoner. The rest of you must escort Terry to safety and wait for the reinforcement from the Aetheria Empire."
