According to his calculations, it would take them about ten minutes to clear the remaining battlefield if their entire cleanup team were to be deployed.
How did this newly appointed commander calculate his team's approximate completion time in such a short period of time? Is it a coincidence?
But Basil's next action made him realize it wasn't a coincidence.
Within just a few minutes, Basil had completed the task allocation for nearly 10,000 people in the "Demon Extermination" mission. Although there were some discrepancies, the approximate time was consistent, and the time limit for each allocation was close to the limit.
Amu was moved, realizing that Basil was also a capable leader, and his expectations for the newly appointed regimental commander grew even higher.
The entire [Demon Extermination] team immediately began their respective tasks, from relocating the camp to cleaning up the battlefield to compiling resource statistics, keeping them extremely busy.
After Amu left, Luo Xiu finally couldn't hold back and looked at Luo Le with some surprise.
"I never expected you, Mr. Basil, to be so skilled in leadership."
Seeing Luo Xiu's expression, Basil felt a surge of smugness and joy, but he managed to suppress a smile.
"There are many things you haven't considered. Do you think I, the commander, have been the commander of Kanriel for so many years for nothing?"
"It seems I underestimated you, Commander. Perhaps you didn't have many opportunities to show your abilities during the Battle of Kanriel."
Luo Xiu smiled broadly, subtly referring to Luo Le's meeting in the underground cave while the monsters launched a massive attack.
Basil's upturned smile froze for a moment, then she ran off to inspect the work.
"This commander is very busy, please don't bother me lately!!!"
"That annoying guy is really annoying..."
Luo Xiu smiled as he watched Luo Le's retreating figure as he jogged away, then stretched and looked at Leila beside him.
"Is Master sleepy?"
Leila blinked her big eyes.
"is a bit."
Luo Xiu blinked as well.
"Then I'll go make the bed, Master."
Leila laughed happily.
"it is good."
Luo Xiu smiled happily.
Leila knows me too well.
Chapter 234 Tactical Meeting
The next day.
The entire Black Reef area, where the Fourth Front is located, has been completely transformed thanks to the cleaning and tidying up by the [Demon Slayer] team.
One after another, blood-red tents were erected again, turning this sea area into a vibrant sea of flowers once more.
A tactical meeting is currently being held in the very center tent.
"Tell us your names."
Basil spoke softly from behind the black curtain.
Even after leaving Kanriel, she didn't break her habit of using a curtain.
Outside the curtain, besides Luo Xiu and Leila, there were five other people standing there, all of whom were the squad leaders from the previous "Demon Extermination" mission.
Standing in the very center was Amu. To his left and right stood the burly man named Babep and the woman in charge of pre-battle preparations, respectively. In addition to the three of them, there were two other people.
A bald woman and an old man holding a harpoon.
After Amu and Babepu finished saying their names, the woman in charge of the preparations stepped forward:
"Reporting to you, my name is Chip."
"Reporting to you, sir, my name is Mup (Jep)."
The bald woman and the old man also stepped forward and spoke.
Next, the group introduced their respective ranks and responsibilities.
Apart from Amu, who reached the fifth rank two years ago, the others are all at the upper fourth rank.
Apart from them, the [Demon Extermination] subgroup also has 10 lower-level fourth-tier members and nearly a thousand third-tier members.
Babelp was in charge of the melee squad, the bald woman was in charge of the healing squad, and the harpoon-wielding old man was in charge of the ranged squad.
Amu was in charge of the defense squad and the overall commander of the campaign.
After listening to their descriptions, Basil nodded. Rovanpu truly lived up to its reputation as the city where Dorant's largest monster battlefield was located; the strength of one of its divisions was already comparable to that of the Kanriel main force.
"Luo Xiu, Leila, why don't you introduce yourselves to these people?"
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and bowed slightly to Amu and the others.
"Gentlemen, my name is Luo Xiu. I will be mainly responsible for the tactical arrangements, individual breakthroughs, and final logistical support for our squadron."
Upon hearing Luo Xiu's greeting, the group quickly returned the greeting.
Yesterday, they all witnessed firsthand how Luo Xiu brutally killed that fifth-tier mermaid. If Luo Xiu were to take charge of the solo breakthrough, no one would disagree.
"My lord, I have a question."
The bald woman spoke after offering her greetings.
"explain."
Basil readily agreed.
Subordinates who cannot express their own opinions are no different from puppets. When she was in Kanriel, she often asked Baal and the others for their opinions.
“I am not questioning Lord Luo Xiu’s meaning… but… Lord Luo Xiu is also in charge of final logistical support and medical treatment… this…”
She hesitated before speaking, genuinely doubting Luo Xiu's achievements in treatment.
In fact, this was a shared thought among Amu and the others.
The power and offensive capabilities that Luo Xiu displayed were already astonishing. Is there really anyone who can excel in both offense and healing at the same time?
Being responsible for the logistics and medical care of a regiment means that it's not simply about treating yourself, but about treating others.
Faced with the bald woman's question, Basil paused for a moment before saying:
"This is a strategic secret—"
“I can prove it to you.”
Luo Xiu stepped forward and smiled slightly:
“I can vouch that I am capable of taking responsibility for the final treatment.”
The healing spell is no secret, and it will likely be needed when the next demonic tide arrives, so there's no need to deliberately hide it.
"Do we have any people in our group who need treatment? Let's bring them over."
What kind of wounded soldiers do you need?
Upon hearing this, the bald woman immediately spoke, but unexpectedly, Luo Xiu slowly said:
"Bring them all over."
"what?"
The bald woman initially thought she had misheard.
Luo Xiu repeated it again, proving that she hadn't misheard.
Looking at Luo Xiu's smiling face, Mu Pu unconsciously swallowed. She had a strange premonition that Luo Xiu wasn't just putting on an act, but was serious.
Soon, all the wounded members of [Demon Slayer] were brought to the front of the tent.
Luo Xiu roughly counted, there were about three hundred people. He noticed that many of them had obvious old injuries. Luo Xiu glanced to the side and saw Mu Pu looking at him with a nervous expression.
With a smile, Luo Xiu opened his arms, and white light shone brightly.
Then, a phenomenon that seemed like a miracle occurred before everyone's eyes.
More than two hundred wounded, whether infected with disease, injured by external wounds, or suffering from chronic illnesses or disfiguring scars, were all healed under the radiant light.
Among them, a boy who looked to be in his teens suddenly burst into tears under the gentle light.
Luo Xiu blinked and looked at Mu Pu beside him.
Mupp explained with a moved expression:
"He was a genius in the melee regiment back then, but during a siege battle, he suffered severe brain damage while protecting his lover, and afterwards he was even unable to speak clearly for a time."
"In this situation, won't the Knights provide some compensation and help arrange for their continued livelihood?"
Mupp looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this:
"Logically, there should be, but many years ago our Knights Order implemented a system of self-sufficiency for branch economics, and our [Demon Slayer] branch..."
Before Mupp could finish speaking, Luo Xiu already understood.
For six out of the eight years, there were no fifth-tier beings. It was already a miracle that they could survive; they must have been struggling financially by now.
Moreover, it seems that there are quite a few cases like this teenager's.
"However, as long as he stays in the regiment, the headquarters will still provide him with basic soldier's benefits."
After Mupp finished speaking, Luo Xiu nodded:
"But this will definitely increase the burden on the group, so the situation will only gradually worsen."
"Yes, thanks to your arrival, I don't know how to thank you enough. Thank you so much for saving [Demon Slayer] from dire straits."
Mupp knelt on one knee, and when he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"There's no need for that. I'm a member of the [Demon Slayer] now."
Luo Xiu helped Mu Pu up and asked casually:
"Where is this young man's lover? Didn't she come with him?"
But after he finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Mupp for a long time.
