“What do you need from me?” Deng Yongchuan arrived with a straight face, but his tone had changed a lot.

It made a lot of sense. The director of the Water School was basically a peak Advanced Mage. It would be impressive if he could take on a hundred Scarlet Soaring Demons himself. However, Mo Fan had killed at least thirteen hundred sea monsters with just four spells. He was obviously no match for the young man!

“A lot of Scarlet Soaring Demons are coming our way. The students and teachers won’t be able to hold them off, but if we lose the hill, we won’t be able to attack the sea monsters anymore. We must hold our ground,” Mo Fan said.

Range was no longer a problem with Lin Du’s Space Bridge. Their spells could now reach the needed distance, but altitude still remained a huge factor.

The seawater had drowned many places, so the high ground was extremely important for Mo Fan. They could not afford to lose the library!

“I know that too, but these are all the people we have. If we don’t retreat in time, we will be surrounded by the Scarlet Soaring Demons soon. The students are going to die!” Deng Yongchuan said.

“I have an army, but they aren’t good at fighting in water. If you and your students can draw the water nearby away, they can easily defend the place,” Mo Fan said.

“What army?” Deng Yongchuan asked.

“Don’t worry about that, just tell me if you can make it work, and at least make sure the area below the hill is dry,” Mo Fan said.

“That won’t be a problem. If you need land to fight on, the Earth Mages can help by raising the ground too,” Deng Yongchuan suggested.

“Great, the Fire, Lightning, Wind, Light, and Ice Mages will keep firing at the sea monsters in the strait. I’ll place you in charge of the Earth and Water Mages to create a suitable environment,” Mo Fan nodded.

The hill was covered in fresh blood. The water at the beach was dyed red from the remains of the Scarlet Soaring Demons floating on it. There were dead bodies of students down there too.

“Miss Biling, we have to go!” a Fire Mage on the higher ground yelled.

Biling had already witnessed quite a few students being dragged away by the Scarlet Soaring Demons and torn to pieces. She knew that they had no chance of stopping the Scarlet Soaring Demons even if they insisted on staying behind. She immediately told everyone to retreat.

“Back off, my Summoned Beast will cover you,” Miss Biling said.

The Sea Gong Fighter had killed dozens of Scarlet Soaring Demons in a short period of time, yet there were just too many Scarlet Soaring Demons. The Sea Gong Fighter was covered in wounds now.

The students gradually retreated to the library a safe distance from the sea monsters. They did not lack the ability to flee and soon returned to the plaza in front of the library.

Biling saw most of the students had reached a safe spot. She immediately gave the Sea Gong Fighter the order to retreat from the area.

However, she heard a few strange cries. The Sea Gong Fighter had just broken free from the surround of the Scarlet Soaring Demons when three fast-moving shadows intercepted it. Its lower limbs were brutally torn apart. Even its bones were broken.

The Sea Gong Fighter cried out in pain. It fell onto the ground and smashed heavily into a pool of mud.

Biling’s face turned pale. She looked behind the Sea Gong Fighter and noticed three huge beasts emitting crimson lights rising among the Scarlet Soaring Demons. They had been waiting for the Sea Gong Fighter to lower its guard so they could cripple it!

The Sea Gong Fighter could not run anymore, and was soon drowned by a terrifying tide of Scarlet Soaring Demons. Their claws tore at the Sea Gong Fighter continuously. Its blood began pouring out like a fountain. Biling’s eyes soon teared up.

“Scarlet…Scarlet Rending Demons!” The student representative was also grim now.

Three Commander-level creatures had shown up at once!

Biling wiped her tears. She rushed toward the Sea Gong Fighter before anyone could react.

“Miss Biling, don’t go!” the students cried out in a panic.

The Sea Gong Fighter was completely surrounded, and had no chance of escaping. The woman was basically jumping into a burning pit if she rushed toward her Summoned Beast now.

The Sea Gong Fighter seemed to have sensed something. It rose to its feet even though the Scarlet Soaring Demons were all over it. It spat a gust of wind in Biling’s direction.

The wind was not targeting the Scarlet Soaring Demons. It instead knocked Biling, who was no longer able to think straight, away from it.

The wind knocked Biling back, but her heart had shattered further into pieces!

The Sea Gong Fighter was the strongest on the defensive side. It was the biggest hindrance for the Scarlet Soaring Demons, so the sea monsters were obviously going to take the Sea Gong Fighter out first while it was by itself.

The Sea Gong Fighter’s lower limbs had broken, but it did not sit and wait for its death. The beast kept swinging its sharp gongs around as the enemy kept coming from all directions, slaughtering the Scarlet Soaring Demons!

However, the sea monsters had ot noticed the ground was rising and the seawater falling…

“AWOO!”

A series of thunderous howls suddenly came from behind the library. They burst out of the woods like a ferocious gust of wind and surged toward the beach!

The students trembled after hearing the howls.

A strong wind blew past as huge creatures with white fur poured down the hill. Some even jumped over the students’ heads and sprinted at the Scarlet Soaring Demons like they had spotted some delicacies!

The wolves just kept coming. The students would occasionally see wolves built like giant bears ramming at the Scarlet Soaring Demons menacingly!

The students in the library were stunned when they saw the overwhelming number of wolves. Since when was there a wolves’ den behind their library?

There were White-Marked Wolves, Enormous White Wolves, and Moon-Devouring White Wolves…

Mo Fan had collected a lot of Soul Essences recently. He had sacrificed half of them to the Magic Medium Ring and increased the capacity of the Beast Tide to three hundred and thirty-three Summoned Beasts!

There were around three hundred White-Marked Wolves, twenty Enormous White Wolves, and thirteen Moon-Devouring White Wolves!

There were only eleven Moon-Devouring White Wolves before, but each of them was a Commander-level creature.

Mo Fan had purposely given two Commander-level Soul Essences to two of the Enormous White Wolves so they were able to evolve into Moon-Devouring White Wolves for this battle. Therefore, he now had thirteen Commander-level wolves under his command!

If the spell did not have a time limit and was so energy-consuming, Mo Fan would not have treated these petty creatures seriously. His army of wolves could easily take care of the sea monsters. He did not have to lift a single finger!

This was his army!
