CHAPTER TEXT:
"Two in One"
Sometimes, changes in war can trigger a series of chain reactions.
When Zhao Xiangxue used her powerful abilities to create a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, the intimidation it brought to the attackers was unprecedented.
Since the beginning of the conflict, there have been top evolvers who intervened; although they didn't exert their full strength, they did showcase their abilities from time to time.
However, not every top evolver could produce such a heart-shocking scene. So when the fire ignited the entire sky and the orc air force fell from the air in a stunning display, the morale of the siege orcs significantly plummeted.
This was directly reflected in their hesitant attacks on the city, slower execution of commands, and even rare cases of orc fear of battle.
It took a long time for the orc commanders behind to stabilize the situation, but at this stage, with the morale of Cloud Summit rising and the aerial threat eliminated, they launched a fierce counterattack, causing significant casualties to the siege team.
The orcs had no choice but to slightly retreat and plan to regroup.
After Zhao Xiangxue completed her earth-shattering strike, she returned to the city. Since she had already revealed herself, she no longer attempted to hide and confidently went back to the central watchtower of the city.
"You still have strength left," Mo Ye smiled at her, feeling amazed by this companion's powerful offensive capability.
Zhao Xiangxue mischievously chuckled twice, "I can handle it on Earth, but outside of Earth, I feel like a useless person."
Mo Ye understood what she meant and shook his head with a smile, "You can't still be brooding over not being able to go up into the sky."
Ye Zhongming's explanation for why the avoidance action squad chose Gao Yi was understood by Zhao Xiangxue, but she still felt a bit reluctant.
The members of the avoidance action squad yearned to fight alongside the boss in the sky, thanks to the immense impact Ye Zhongming had on them during their time in the brightwater realm and the few joint operations that followed.
If the Cloud Summit Villa headquarters viewed Ye Zhongming as a spiritual leader and idol, then to the members of the avoidance squad, he was regarded as a deity to some extent.
It might sound exaggerated, but that's the reality.
This had a lot to do with the process of establishing the avoidance squad and the tasks they carried out afterward.
Relying on his rebirth and prophetic insight, Ye Zhongming made astonishing predictions and formulated excellent action plans during a series of operations, allowing the members of the avoidance squad to accomplish tasks almost unconsciously.
Once or twice could still be attributed to luck, but with it happening consistently, everyone gradually began to accept that the boss was indeed impressive.
Impressive to the point of being nearly omnipotent.
Moreover, in the apocalypse, while intelligence is one aspect, Ye Zhongming's combat strength also earned the respect of everyone in the avoidance squad.
They always believed that the boss was the number one person on Earth, and the facts repeatedly proved their belief over time, solidifying it into a deep-rooted instinct.
Additionally, the abundant supply of Advanced Evolution Potions, large-scale investment in high-level equipment, and the provision of battle beast potion scrolls allowed the members of the avoidance squad to deeply appreciate the wealth that Ye Zhongming and Cloud Summit possessed, indifferent to the world.
In every aspect, they constantly experienced Ye Zhongming's omnipotence, so after all these years, considering him almost like a deity was not surprising.
To many in the avoidance squad, including Zhao Xiangxue, only a deity could achieve this level.
"Gao Yi, that big fool, is just lucky," Zhao Xiangxue muttered as she tossed a pill into her mouth. It was a stamina recovery pill, a masterpiece from the Alchemy Division of the Cloud Summit Logistics Department, and the one she used was crafted by Cloud Summit's number one Alchemist, Tang Guo.
