Divine Seal: Six Paths of Reincarnation, I am the Crown-Rank Assassin

Chapter 49 Dismissal of the Holy Spirit Heart, Special Mission
The woman looked up at Yan Qianqiu, her gaze unfocused, and her legs went limp.

Lan Yanyu never dreamed that just last night she had used her husband's power to put pressure on her, and today she would be met with a fierce counterattack.

Yan Qianqiu looked at the man's ashen profile and transmitted his voice,
"From now on, you will have no excuse to tell Cai'er that it was for the Holy Alliance!"

Holy Spirit Heart's face was stiff, as if his spine had been removed, and he looked down at the ground.

Judge Sheng Yue glanced at the audience and announced the final verdict with an expressionless face: "Holy Spirit Heart is stripped of his military post and will never participate in any command position again. He will serve as a sentry assassin at Exorcist Pass for twenty years."

The man's body trembled.

He was not only dismissed from his military post, but also forced to serve as a sentry for twenty years, meaning he had almost no achievements before the age of sixty, which was quite serious.

Even Minghui felt this was a bit too much, but it also showed how much importance the Assassin's Temple attached to this matter.

Saint Moon exhaled a breath of stale air, understanding the cause and effect of the matter, and even he felt a lingering fear.

Leaving aside the descent of the demon god,

Those few thousand Earthshaker Invisibles alone were enough to wear down the Radiant Angels, and together with hundreds of thousands of demons, they could annihilate these two absolutely elite forces!
The military trial has concluded.

Holy Spirit walked dazedly behind Holy Moon. Seeing her husband's miserable state, Lan Yanyu couldn't bear it and dared to plead with the old man.

"Grandpa, isn't this trial a bit too harsh...?"

"Too heavy?" Saint Moon snorted coldly.
"If it weren't for Yan Qianqiu using the Eye of Truth to bring Elder Xue and the ten Mithril Knights to rescue you this time..."

"Your name, the heart of the Holy Spirit, will be forever etched on the pillar of shame of the Alliance!"

"For a dignified assassin to be ambushed by demons, you've forgotten the skills of a sentinel assassin."

"What a hopeless idiot."

The old man was furious and vanished without a trace in a flash.

……

Yan Qianqiu returned to the camp, feeling calm. He realized that the Holy Spirit Heart had brought this upon itself.

The barracks were quiet.

Everyone was quietly cultivating until lunchtime, when it was already afternoon.

They received their appointments from the military region.

All ten demon-hunting groups were summoned and assembled.

"Hello, Brother Yan." Long Haochen came over to greet him. "It seems that the situation has changed somewhat recently."

"Perhaps they feel that putting us in the infantry battalion is a waste of our talents," Yan Qianqiu replied.

He has long considered the Holy Spirit Heart to be a fool, and the mere fact that he incorporated the elite demon hunter squad into the infantry battalion was a disastrous move.

The man who rose to power through connections actually made the Demon Hunter Special Forces start as basic infantry.

Fortunately, it was only for one day.

Yang Wenzhao walked over, and the young man smiled slightly, confidently saying, "It seems that's indeed the case. How was everyone's harvest yesterday?"

"I'm not quite there yet, and I'm afraid I can't compare to you all." Long Haochen estimated that he probably wouldn't rank among the top ten demon hunter groups.

After all, he was the first demon hunter squad to rotate shifts, following orders.

"It's alright." Yan Qianqiu thought of the sixth-tier fire demon puppet he had slaughtered yesterday. His merit points had now reached around 50,000.

"I'm not bad either." Yang Wenzhao smiled. He had checked his merit points earlier and found that he had reached 121 points, which should place him in the top two.

Thinking about how he had slaughtered thousands of dual-wielding demons yesterday, he felt an immense sense of exhilaration.

As everyone discussed yesterday's battle, several exorcist generals strode confidently towards the members of the demon-hunting team.

The ten demon-hunting teams returned to their respective squads and lined up in neat formation.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group swept his solemn gaze across the crowd, then suddenly grinned, his expression relaxing considerably.

"Hello everyone, my name is Mu Long, and I am a lieutenant general under Commander Xue. Thank you all for your contributions to Exorcising Demon Pass yesterday. On behalf of the military, I would like to express my respect to you all." Yan Qianqiu knew something about Commander Xue, whom Mu Long mentioned.

That person is Elder Xue Zhisheng's great-grandson, and is slightly older than Holy Spirit Heart.

Holy Spirit Heart's position is Military Chief of Exorcism and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Exorcism Military Region.

Xue Rengui, on the other hand, is the true military god of the Assassin's Temple, serving as the commander-in-chief of the Demon-Controlling Army, responsible for a 1,780-mile battlefront and commanding 270,000 troops.

Mu Long said, "In view of your outstanding performance, the Exorcist Pass military headquarters has decided to entrust you with a special military mission."

The deputy staff officer next to the man took out a military map...

The setting sun hangs obliquely on the branches.

Today, the demons' offensive at Exorcism Pass has greatly weakened, as if the autumn offensive had ended before it even began.

Only the dual-wielding demons relentlessly offered up their heads; no elite demon units could be seen.

Under the cover of night

Ten demon-hunting teams left the city in an orderly fashion, heading to a certain location to secretly carry out a mission to attack the demon race's logistics.

Yan Qianqiu was the team leader for this mission, with Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao as deputy team leaders.

Outside the Exorcism Pass,

Sixty-one people took advantage of the darkness to arrive silently at the foot of the mountain, circled around from the north side, and looked out at the demon camp.

They were dressed in night clothes and went into action lightly equipped.

The priest's Eye of Truth and the mage's Eye of Detection constantly monitored the demons' movements.

Assassins roamed around them, acting as lookouts.

The knight and summoner released their mounts, allowing the priest and mage to ride on them and speed towards the rear of the demon camp!

Liu Xian glanced at the guild leader Yan Qianqiu, then at the plant summoner Bai Xiaomo.

"I'd better run myself," she thought to herself.

As if sensing something, the woman smiled and cast a levitation spell on Tan Wan.

The speed increased suddenly.

Liu Xian felt a lightness in her body, and a knowing smile appeared on her pretty face.

After traveling for some time, Yan Qianqiu took out a map and compared it with the surroundings. "This road is the only way for the demon race's grain transport team."

“There’s still an hour until dawn. We can send some people to scout ahead, while the rest of us can rest,” Yang Wenzhao suggested.

"Then why not have the summoner send out flying magical beasts?" Long Haochen pondered for a moment and looked at Yan Qianqiu.

“Alright.” Yan Qianqiu nodded. “According to intelligence, the grain transport team consists of approximately three thousand demons, the vast majority of whom are low-ranking. What are your thoughts?”

Lu Xi, the leader of the Fifth Demon Hunter Squad, suggested, "We can adopt the Demon Exorcism Legion's tactics."

"The mage attacks first, the assassin decapitates, the knight and warrior engage the enemy head-on, the summoner harasses, and the priest uses Eye of Truth to oversee the overall situation."

Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao frowned.

The fourth leader, Duan Yi, fell into deep thought, and the other demon hunter leaders did not offer any opinions.

“That’s not appropriate.” Long Haochen shook his head. “The ten teams have never worked together before and are not skilled at it.”

"I suggest that each demon hunter group fight independently, rushing into the enemy camp from different positions, cutting off the enemy, and making the most of the demon hunter group's advantages."

Lu Xi retorted, "But if that's the case, every demon-hunting team could be besieged. If they were surrounded, wouldn't that be extremely dangerous?"

Long Haochen said confidently, "That's possible."

"By then, the various demon-hunting groups will have to help each other. With our strength, we can fight even a seventh-tier expert, while the chances of the supply convoy having a seventh-tier expert are very low."
