“Time to go!” Yassen clearly had enough of a reputation among the experts from all across the world that the others were willing to follow his commands.

The lake was shrouded by a red mist. There were not many dead bodies, as such had been brought away to the Frosty Ancient Eagles’ nest to be stored as food.

The Hunter Group under Yassen’s lead was leading the way. Its members were very strong. Even though they had not used any Super Spells, it was obvious there were Super Mages among them, judging from their control over their magic.

It was obvious why the top organizations’ members were following Yassen’s lead. The strength of his Hunter Group said it all. They were calm and collected despite facing the powerful Frosty Ancient Eagles that were coming down from the sky. Their ability to utilize their Elements and their teamwork were impressive!

“Charge!”

“Dying on Tianshan Mountain is better than dying on a sickbed, charge!”

“There’s no place we can’t conquer. Tianshan Mountain is no exception!”

There were four other mercenary groups, in addition to the Mailong Private Military Group. Their numbers were greater than the Mailong Private Military Group. They seemed to be a lot luckier too, as they had not lost many members along the way.

Both mercenaries and Hunters had joined hands temporarily to tackle the Valley of Glaciers. The teams pushed forward after Yassen and his group cleared a path. They operated like a team of elites on a mission.

The Wind Mages built a wind raft and sped up the Hunters and mercenaries, allowing those who did not have reliable spells to boost their speed to stay up with the others.

The Mailong Private Military Group was moving with them. Its members were mostly on the left wing, responsible for covering fire.

“Follow the markings of my Brilliant Light!” Lu Xiu called out.

Lu Xiu was the third Super Mage of the Mailong Private Military Group. He had only become a Super Mage a year ago, yet he was a lot stronger than the unreliable Gavin had been.

His main Element was Light, and his Brilliant Light was quite special. When he used it on the Frosty Ancient Eagles, the strength they glowed at corresponded to the strength of the demon creatures.

The battle was expected to be chaotic. It was important to focus their spells on the stronger demon creatures and kill them first, or these creatures could easily break the teams’ formation. Lu Xiu’s Brilliant Light was able to tag the Great Commander-level Frosty Ancient Eagles. Those creatures could easily kill a lot of their members instantly if they broke through their formation.

A Great Commander-level Frosty Ancient Eagle dove at the group after being hit by the Light Spell. Its icy aura could inflict unimaginable destruction along the ground when it was plunging like a meteorite. It took the destructive Mages of the Mailong Private Military Group three rounds of spells to finally kill the Great Commander-level creature when it reached around thirty meters from the ground. Everyone was relieved when they saw the creature was dead.
