In Chapter 164, the cleanup task, Pei Lingjie's premonition to
the eighteen-year-old second-level wizard, the meaning behind it, even Ji Sheng, a third-level wizard, must be amazed by it.
"Your Excellency, that's a compliment." Pei Ze said calmly.
Ji Sheng laughed and turned the topic to business.
"I heard what Yin Xue said. We are really worried about the shortage of manpower now. If you can help us, that would be great." The
reason for the shortage of manpower is not only because the action was too sudden and there was no time to deploy manpower, but also because of confidentiality. factors in it.
Before actually starting to take action, the news must not be known to irrelevant people, otherwise once it is known to the Pei family wizards who are still outside, it may cause trouble.
Therefore, the Witch Hunting Force never thought of summoning free wizards.
But when Yin Xue reminded him, Ji Sheng realized that he had missed one person, and that was Pei Ze.
Pei Ze's identity as a disciple of Mo Weng and his feud with the Pei family meant that he was naturally on the opposite side of the Pei family. Although he was not a member of the witch hunting force, he was undoubtedly one of his own.
In addition, Pei Ze is also very powerful.
When he was still a first-level wizard, he could already kill second-level wizards and fourth- and fifth-level winter frost priests. Now that he has been promoted to a second-level wizard, he is afraid that he can even fight against third-level wizards.
This kind of powerful combat power is exactly what they urgently need at this moment!
"Can I ask about the target's strength information?" Pei Ze said.
"Of course." Seeing Ji Sheng smile and nod, Yin Xue said immediately, "Pei Lingjie himself has the strength of the third level of liquefaction. In addition to him, there are seven wizards traveling with him, all from the Pei family, including four second-level wizards. Level wizards, three first-level wizards."
"However, their mission is to destroy the temple in a town and clean up the sect power there. The task is not easy, and it is expected that there will be losses. By then, the strength of the opponent we will face should be It will be weakened."
"What about you?" Pei Ze asked.
"In addition to Ji Sheng, we have three second-level wizards and two first-level wizards here, including me. As for Yin Guang, he stayed behind in Red Maple City and did not go on missions with us." Pei Ze's eyes flickered
. flash.
The difference between the two sides is a second-level wizard and a first-level wizard, which is already a big gap.
Of course, it is also possible that the wizards sent by the witch hunting force are the best at their level. After all, they have detailed information about the target in advance, and they will not die if they are not strong enough.
However, this also confirmed that the witch hunting force was indeed short of manpower.
Seeing that Pei Ze was a little moved, Ji Sheng smiled and added another weight.
"If you are willing to help us, I can make the decision. It will be calculated based on the execution of the mission. The basic reward is 10,000 merit points. If you achieve other merits during the mission, it will be calculated separately. How about it?" I have to say that this reward is quite attractive
.
When Pei Ze heard this, he no longer hesitated and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll take over the mission."
As soon as these words came out, smiles appeared on Ji Sheng and Yin Xue's faces.
With Pei Ze, a man as powerful as a third-level wizard joining them, they would be more confident in completing their mission.
"Shall we leave now?" Pei Ze asked.
"That's right." Ji Sheng smiled and nodded, "Pei Lingjie and others are on a mission in the hinterland of Dongshuang Theocracy. It will take about two days to get here." "Without further delay, we'd better set off early to avoid long nights and dreams
. , let Pei Lingjie notice something was wrong."
Pei Ze nodded without objection.
In order to facilitate the movement, all the wizards did not bring followers with them this time, and Pei Ze followed the local customs.
After sending a letter to Su Ya and Peng Yan, he followed Ji Sheng and others out of the tavern.
When we arrived at the city gate, our teammates who were working together were already waiting here.
Several of them were familiar faces, having met several times in Yin Xue's residence, including the witch. As soon as they met, the four people's eyes immediately focused on Pei Ze, with shock, wonder, awe, etc. in their eyes.
Obviously, they already knew that Pei Ze was going to join the mission, and also knew that he had been promoted to a second-level wizard.
An eighteen-year-old second-level wizard!
It seems that there has never been such a young second-level wizard in Dawn City before!
In the entire Star Alliance, only the direct descendants of those regular wizards known as the Chosen Ones can reach the level of second-level wizards before the age of eighteen.
You can imagine what a huge sensation this news will cause once it reaches Chenxi City!
For a moment, all four of them were filled with wonder.
"Let's go."
Ji Sheng didn't say much and gave the order simply and neatly.
The group of people quickly boarded the giant eagle that had been prepared, soared into the sky, and flew away into the distance.
Dongshuang Theocracy, Xuetong City.
This prosperous city, located in the hinterland of Snow Wolf Dukedom and guarded by chief priests, has now become deserted and deserted. There are fireworks everywhere in the city, and there are no people on the streets. People are hiding in their houses and dare not come out.
The Duke's Palace and the temple in the center of the city have long been turned into ruins, and the ruins are filled with corpses.
The air was filled with a disgusting burnt smell.
Pei Lingjie stood high in the sky, staring at the ruins below, his brows furrowed.
He was not feeling the horror of the war in front of him, but was thinking about recent events.
I don't know if he is overthinking it, but he always feels that something is wrong with the recent situation.
The Pei family members in the Silver Light Legion were constantly sent out to perform various dangerous missions, resulting in heavy casualties.
As far as he knew, more than thirty family wizards had died recently.
This gave him the illusion that the top management of Red Maple City was targeting his family.
But on the one hand, he asked Chenxi City's family and found that nothing special happened.
On the other hand, after entering the hinterland of the Winter Frost Theocracy, the Red Maple City army encountered increasingly fierce resistance, and the casualties continued to increase. Not only the Pei family, but also members of other families suffered heavy casualties.
"Maybe it's just my illusion." Pei Lingjie murmured to himself.
At this time, a wizard came to him and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the remaining resistance forces have been cleared away, and there is no one left alive."
Pei Lingjie came to his senses and said in a serious voice: "How are the casualties? "
The wizard's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "Pei Xu and Pei Zhang died in the battle, and the others were only slightly injured."
Pei Ling sighed secretly.
Two more first-level wizards were lost.
In this plane war, more than a hundred wizards from the Pei family have been killed so far. Although the family has a profound heritage, it cannot withstand such losses.
I only hope that after capturing the Winter Frost Theocracy, the profits gained will make up for the family's losses.
After gathering his thoughts, Pei Lingjie said in a deep voice: "Take some time to clean up and return to Red Maple City."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, under the leadership of Pei Lingjie, a group of six wizards left without looking back, leaving only the devastated city.
