Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Luo Xiu looked over in confusion, only to see Mu Pu with his head down, his voice hoarse:

"That girl... was pounced on by a fourth-tier water lizard during a city defense battle last year. By the time we arrived, it was too late to save her."

"..."

"..."

Mup's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and a wave of sorrow washed over them.

This is the cruelty of racial warfare; there is no right or wrong, only life or death.

One person's death may seem insignificant to the nation as a whole, but to another, it can be an inescapable, heavy burden.

Luo Xiu looked at the boy who was crying and laughing among the crowd, and spoke softly:

"Let's formulate tactics after we begin."

As soon as he said those words, Amu keenly sensed a change in the aura emanating from the blond man before him.

In fact, he had noticed that the relationship between Luo Xiu and Luo Le was a bit strange. When Luo Le was speaking, Luo Xiu interrupted him directly, and Luo Le didn't say anything.

Even though Rosiu and Mupp were talking and taking the initiative in the conversation, Basil didn't show anything unusual.

It was a strange feeling, as if the blond man in front of him was the one in charge among the three.

Now, after Luo Xiu finished speaking, his aura completely changed, as if the man who had slaughtered countless people in the demonic tide last night had appeared in the tent. A subtle killing intent spread out, causing the temperature in the air to drop slightly.

Standing before Luo Xiu, the group felt so nervous that their hearts pounded uncontrollably in their chests.

"Ahem, let's begin formulating tactics."

Basil coughed lightly twice, easing the fear of the people opposite him.

"Amu, yesterday I asked you to draft a preliminary plan for the future after you went back. Are you ready?"

"The draft is complete."

Amu stepped forward, and a leather notebook appeared in his hand:

"First is our strategic goal. Our original strategic goal was to prevent the fourth front from advancing each year, while killing 300 monsters each month."

"Now that you, Lord Luo Xiu, and Lady Leila have arrived, our strategic objective has changed to advancing the battle line by at least 100 meters each year and killing 1000 monsters each month."

Amu suppressed his excitement as he finished reading, his face flushed slightly. This goal was something only the first team could achieve, and it also demonstrated the determination of [Demon Slayer] to rise to prominence after the arrival of Luo Le and the others.

This is a bold strategic goal. If it can be achieved, the stagnant waters of the "Demon Extermination" movement, which have remained dormant for eight years, will be completely stirred up, and even the entire situation of the Knights of Rauwanpu will be completely changed.

But he noticed that Luo Xiu across from him frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with this strategic objective.

"Is it set too high?" he quickly replied.

"Of course, this goal might be a bit ambitious, and we can also adopt a more moderate pace—"

"Too low."

Eh?

Amu stared blankly at Luo Xiu.

"Too low, and too slow."

Luo Xiu spoke earnestly:

"I don't have much of a concept of the advance of the battle line, so I can't give a specific estimate, but the number of monsters killed is too small."

"How many monsters are in this wave of demons? Are they all the same as yesterday?"

"no."

Chip, who was in charge of statistics and preparation, immediately stepped forward:

"The demonic tide usually occurs every 3-5 days. According to its size, it is generally divided into small, medium, large and extra-large."

"A small-scale demonic tide typically involves 100-150 monsters, while a medium-scale demonic tide typically involves..."

"..."

After giving a complete introduction, Qipu continued:

"Last night's demonic tide should be considered a medium-sized demonic tide, with the highest-ranking demons being only fourth-tier. It was only because of your appearance, Lord Basil, that fifth-tier demons were mobilized and ultimately killed by you."

"Ah."

Luo Xiu nodded:

"Then let's set our strategic goal at around 1200 monsters per month. You can adjust the specific number later."

1200! !! !!

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, the squad leaders all widened their eyes.

1200 monsters almost means that [Demon Extermination] needs to win all the demon tide battles every month, and the kill rate in each battle needs to be above 80%.

But considering Luo Xiu's healing techniques and the strength he displayed yesterday, it doesn't seem impossible. However, this might require...

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Leila.

The enormous beast that Leila conjured yesterday is still fresh in everyone's memory. With Leila's help, an 80% kill rate might not be an exaggeration.

Leila smiled slightly and stepped forward at that moment.

"Don't worry, everyone. I will participate in every battle."

With Leila's guarantee, the matter was settled. In an instant, the squad leaders were all excited. This time, [Demon Slayer] was really going to rise. If the goal could be achieved, [Demon Slayer] would soon leap forward and surpass all the previous squads.

"As for the advancement of the battle lines..."

Luo Xiu had just finished listening to Qi Pu's introduction and understood that advancing the battle line not only required winning battles, but also required actively using a special magic array to make the black reef under his feet spread forward.

The casting of such a magic circle will attract the attention of monsters, so once the battle line is advanced, it means another battle of offense and defense.

"You can decide the specific length of the advance, but it will definitely be a continuous forward movement."

Luo Xiu made a great decision this time: to improve his strength as much as possible in Luowangpu.

In yesterday's battle, Leila and I killed two Tier 5 monsters, eleven Tier 4 monsters, twenty-seven Tier 3 monsters, and even eighty-five Tier 2 monsters.

This wave alone has brought in 3065 points that can be added.

A wave of fat.

Luo Xiu didn't touch these points for the time being, because he had to wait until Tassanya entered the Golden Apple Garden before he could add them. Otherwise, once Tassanya reached the fifth tier, she would be blocked outside by the Golden Apple Garden.

Once Tassanya steps into the Golden Apple Garden the day after tomorrow, it will be time for him to add points.

If he can maintain this frequency, and stay in Kanriel for a few months, he might be able to collect all the points from the first to fifth tiers of the mermaids and the swamp lizards.

Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss tactical plans, logistical supplies, training arrangements, and so on without stopping.

The discussion continued until late at night.

After the squad leaders left, Luo Xiu wiped non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief:

"It feels even more tiring than killing monsters."

Now you know how tired I was during those meetings, right?!

Basil stepped out from behind the curtain and glared at Luo Xiu, clearly still remembering what Luo Xiu had teased her about yesterday.

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Commander."

Luo Xiu reached out and casually patted Basil's head. Then, as Basil blushed furiously, he led Leila out of the tent.

He quickly caught up with Amu, who hadn't gone far ahead.

"Lord Amu."

"Lord Luo Xiu? Is there anything else you require?"

Amu quickly turned around and bowed to Luo Xiu in greeting.

"It's nothing important."

Luo Xiu smiled:

"There are two things I want to ask you."

"You say."

Amu spoke respectfully.

He now holds Luo Xiu in high esteem.

"First, I'd like to ask you about Lady Selena. Would it be convenient for you to tell me?"

Luo Xiu's smile was gentle.

Amu's expression froze.

Chapter 235 Diary 1 (Secret Revealed)

Amu was shocked, not expecting Luo Xiu to ask about Selena.

When a new official takes office, they usually try to reinforce their image in the public eye by mentioning the people who were in office before them. However, this can backfire if not handled carefully.

Amu's first reaction was that Luo Xiu was testing him, trying to see if he still had any lingering feelings for the past.

As he fell into deep thought, Luo Xiu patted him on the shoulder with a warm smile:

"Don't overthink it, Lord Amu. I don't have any other purpose. I'm just curious about Lady Selena's life and want to see what kind of charismatic leader could make [Demon Slayer] refuse the next leader for eight years."

Amu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Luo Xiu to see through his thoughts so easily.

He gave an awkward laugh and began:

"I'm so sorry, Lord Luo Xiu, I thought..."

"That's normal. If I were you, I would think the same way."

Luo Xiu smiled and winked, and Amu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said slowly:

"Which part of Lady Selena's experiences would you like to hear about?"

"Either is fine. Let's start from when she came to the Knights of Rauwanpu."
