579 Senior Hunter (2/2)

”Everyone, our operation here is precisely planned. If it weren't for the fact that every soldier available was allocated to protect the walls, we wouldn't be gathering everyone here with four Gathering Signals. Don't worry, you won't be fighting the Commander-level creatures, nor are you being asked to fight packs of Warrior-level creatures. You just need to keep an eye on the Light Formations and make sure they work, so we can defend ourselves from the Psychic disturbances of the White Serene Ghosts...” the Commander explained in detail when he saw the hesitation among the Magicians.

”Councilman Zhu Meng is going out there fighting in the front line, how can we back off now?” a retired Battlemage stepped forward.

”The city lies behind the city walls, where my parents and family are… so, please count me in. I don't feel like leaving such an important task in someone else's hands,” a Hunter with scars on his face stepped forward boldly, too.

The students were the most passionate, as fighting side by side with Super Magicians was considered a huge glory for them. Several of them quickly signed up.

”I'm joining too!”

”If I want to back away, I would have done so when I saw the signal. Count me in.”

Zhong Zishan glanced at the students under his lead. He was about to ask their opinions when Jiang Li, who wanted to contribute, and Zhou Ming, who was fairly righteous, volunteered for the battle.

Mu Bai hesitated for a while before deciding to join, too.

The handsome student, on th eother hand, did not speak. He seemed to have no intention of putting his life at risk.

It was something they could not force anyone to take part in. Zhong Zishan did not say anything. He patted the man's shoulder, signaling him to leave the place if he did not want to join the operation.

”Zhong Zishan, how about you?” asked Zhou Ming.

”I promised your teacher to look after you. I'll go for sure,” Zhong Zishan smiled.

”How diligent, but I feel like our teacher won't be fond of you still!” mocked Jiang Li.

”It doesn't matter. I'm a man of my words.” Zhong Zishan glanced at Mo Fan instead.

Mo Fan shrugged and said, ”I'm here on vacation, so I wish you all good luck.”

”Seriously, Mo Fan?” said Zhou Ming disappointedly.

Mo Fan did not explain further. He was not obliged to save the world. Besides, even though the walls were guarded by Magicians, they would still need more help here. It was enough for him to fulfill his role as a Magician. He would leave the risky operation to those who were passionate enough to contribute and protect their nation while putting their lives at risk.

”Humph, I thought you're impressive, but you're still a coward nonetheless! You're not worthy to be called a Magician!” said Jiang Li, as if he had suddenly become superior to Mo Fan.

”Asshole, if you say another word, I don't mind hanging your head out on the walls to drive evil away before the undead dig your intestines out!” Mo Fan spat at Jiang Li coldly.

”Alright, everyone can make their own choices!” Zhong Zishan quickly interfered.

Meanwhile, Yao Nan, who was standing aside uttered a weird chuckle.

”What are you laughing at!?” snapped Jiang Li, his face colorful.

Yao Nan remained laughing. After a while, he finally said to Jiang Li, ”Hey fatty, if everyone who the man you just scolded as a coward has saved simply spit at you, it would be enough to roll you away like a Rolling Wave spell!”
