But even so, Saluman Lion had never realized one thing so clearly.

That is the chasm-like wall of the Kalina Line of Defense, which also has its limits.

If the Empire doesn't provide timely support, they will soon be unable to hold this place.

At that moment, he didn't know how to describe the thought of giving up in his heart? Panic?

No, he didn't even have time to panic at that time.

fear?

That’s not true. As a veteran, his mental state has been relatively stable.

If I had to say it, I was at a loss.

He really didn't expect that the Demon King's Army, which had been rumored among the people of the empire for so many years, would put such a great pressure on people.

Once, twice, three times...

Amid the Demon King's army's overwhelming attack, Saluman felt his movements becoming increasingly stiff, and the hands wielding the weapon were as tired as if they belonged to someone else.

This made him realize that without any external influence, they really would not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, the reinforcements arrived in time.

Behind the army from the Empire were priests and paladins from various churches who worked in coordination with each other.

They are undoubtedly the elite among the elite.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, they opened fire on the opposite side.

But there is a problem.

Their fight gave people the feeling of being a pile of loose sand.

To a certain extent, although they have strict combat discipline, their combat thinking is not as good as that of the Demon King's army composed of monsters on the opposite side.

Obviously, this is a "loose" army.

They may have elite combat capabilities at the squad level, but on a wider battlefield, there is a clear gap between them and a real legion.

After realizing this, Saluman Lion couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Even though he had now used his strong personal strength to make up for the shortcomings in the legion's cooperation and even greatly reduced the pressure on Kalina's defense line, an idea still inevitably arose in his mind.

That is - this support force has no way to withstand the pressure in the extremely harsh legion combat.

It’s not that there’s something wrong with the willpower of those strong people.

To be able to be promoted to the model level, the people present here are more or less capable of something.

But the problem is that they lack a backbone that can bring everyone together.

If the power cannot be gathered together, it will be difficult to penetrate the stone.

And it is obvious that there is a master behind the Demon King's army.

Even with the arrival of reinforcements, they still launched a new round of attacks without hesitation.

This time they deployed more troops than before.

Even the basic level of monsters has been raised to LV9.

This is an army of monsters, not meant to destroy Kalina's defense line, but... to destroy this group of united teams.

Realizing this, Saluman Llane immediately told the commander the news.

However, the commander remained silent for a long time, and finally whispered: "The reinforcements already knew about it."

"Then why..."

"Because there is no choice for reinforcements."

"No choice?"

"This support army is a team specially selected to fight the Demon King to the death. Whether they are willing or not, they will rush to various places in the coming time and fight continuously to kill the Demon King's army."

"So, they need time to hone their coordination with their 'teammates'?"

"Well, even if many people will die, the current situation does not allow them to delay."

"But this...may kill half or even most of the people!"

The commander looked at Saluman Llane with a strange expression and said, "Is there any war without casualties?"

“But these are the elite.”

"In front of the Demon King's army, most of the elite troops are just discarded pawns used to wear down the enemy. Saluman, this is the Demon King's army, this is the Herme dubbed the natural disaster."

At that moment, Saluman lowered his head.

This is too cruel.

Using the blood of at least half of the people to arouse the fighting spirit of the reinforcements, the elite of the elite, who were originally the ones that the major legions would feel sorry for, were treated as leeks that could be cut at any time...

This kind of thing had a huge impact on Saluman Lane's cognition.

Perhaps realizing that his description was too cruel, the commander smiled and said, "Besides, who says that half of them will definitely die?"

"Any backup plan?"

"No one said there was only one batch of reinforcements."

"But, Commander, if the reinforcements coming are the same as this batch, the Demon King's army will just have to spend the same amount of strength as our elite troops. Does that make any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference." The commander laughed, "The premise is that the next batch of reinforcements will also be in bulk like this batch."

…

Recalling the information the commander had told him before, Saluman Laken came to his senses and looked at the battlefield littered with corpses, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.

The commander said, okay, the next group of people will be here soon.

The scene is in such a mess now, when will they finally come?

The front line can't hold on any longer! Just as he was thinking this, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the sky.

The originally sunny sky was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds.

Soon, drizzles began to fall. In a few breaths, the light rain turned into moderate rain, the moderate rain turned into heavy rain, and the heavy rain turned into torrential rain.

The horrific downpour affected the vision of both sides.

Unconsciously, Saluman Lane felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate.

He smelled danger.

That was an instinct he had honed specifically to allow him to remain safe and sound while guarding the space channel until retirement.

He felt that there was something dangerous hidden in this rainstorm.

"kill!"

A roar was heard, and two LV10 monsters rushed towards him.

There was a flash of anger in Saluman's eyes.

Perhaps it was because he was naturally more aware of danger than the average person, and he was able to escape encirclement and suppression many times on small-scale battlefields.

Now some monsters began to consciously attack his team.

but……

"You think you can kill me?!"

A black flame ignited on the beheading sword in his hand.

When the knife is swung out, the sound of the wind will be swept away.

The black knife hit the opponent's aorta quickly and accurately.

In an instant, the blood rushed.

The excitement of killing the enemy filled his body, but the next moment, Saluman's expression changed: "Back off! Leave here quickly, it's dangerous."

He didn't even have time to make coordinated combat gestures with his teammates.

Everyone had also witnessed Saluman Llane's incredible sense of danger on the battlefield.

Without hesitation, they wanted to leave this place and move the battlefield.

But the next moment, everyone's expressions changed and they froze in place.

A bloated, huge figure blocked their way.

What a terrifying life it was! It was filled with countless inhuman features, like a troll, a giant elephant, a mermaid, and other jackals, tigers, and leopards forcibly pieced together to form a distorted existence.

He recalled the news he had received from the upper and middle classes recently, saying that the peerless evil spirit who killed the sword master, the host of the great sin of jealousy, had become a lackey of the Demon King's army.

After hearing about this, some young soldiers, while feeling sorry for the sword master, inevitably developed a strong hatred for the great sin of jealousy.

I wish I could kill him as soon as possible.

However, every time this happened, Saluman would think of the Master of the Sword, what a talented person he was. Such a powerful and brilliant person died from the great sin of jealousy.

So when the young soldier excitedly talked about how to kill the great sin of jealousy, he was silent for a long time and gave his own answer.

"Don't look back, just run!"

At this moment, he realized something and finally couldn't help but roar at the top of his lungs: "Don't look back, run! That's not an opponent you can handle."

After saying this, Saluman Llane turned around and pounced on his opponent.

He would use his own life to buy precious time for his teammates to escape.

"Your courage is commendable, so I grant you a death!"

The voices coming from the monster seemed to overlap, as if a dozen people were saying the same thing to him at the same time.

Saluman smelled death.

This time, he was really going to die.

However, at the moment when the monster was about to attack him, the world seemed to suddenly become quiet.

Heavy rain gathered in the air, and the roars of fighting on the battlefield seemed to fade away.

No! It's not an illusion!

The extremely strange silence made Saluman barely sense something.

A piece of precious jade in front of him began to glow with an unknown light.

However, even this brilliance was swallowed up at an extremely fast speed.

Saluman was shocked.

That precious jade was a rare treasure that their family had carefully treasured for generations.

It is said that many years ago, the God of Glory and Justice came to the world and selected the first brave warriors to conquer the dungeon.

The ancestors of Saluman Llane had witnessed the earth-shaking war with their own eyes.

For a long time afterwards, Saluman's family carefully kept this gem, saying that it was proof that the first generation of heroes had ever existed.

Of course, since they are in the Roxxi Empire, the Roxxi people no longer believe in gods.

If he openly used this precious jade to publicize the story of that year, he would inevitably be looked at strangely by some people.

In order to avoid these troubles, he and his elders chose to pass on the story orally instead of telling it to outsiders.

However, one incident was mentioned in the news circulated by the elders.

"When the gem lights up again, it means the hero has come to you, so run, run in the direction where the hero is, because that is the safest place."

It was also at this time that Baoyu's brilliance reached its peak.

The power that originally stopped time seemed to release its restrictions on him at this moment.

Instinctively, he ran towards the direction of the breath.

Because that's the place where he's most likely to survive.

But before he had run a few steps, the stagnant time began to move again.

He saw a figure passing by in front of him and in a flash he was next to the Great Sin Jealousy.

Then--

Saluman Ryan found that the terrible existence was like a frightened bird, and at that moment, it let out a shrill scream that he could not understand.

Poor thing, that wasn't even sonic magic, but a simple scream of fear.

The monster that looked like a king with limbs exploded at that moment.

Yes.

Literal meaning.

In an instant, the body split into thousands of pieces and shot out in all directions without hesitation.

The speed was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye.

However, the next moment, the young man who looked like a brave man drew his sword.

Saluman didn't know how to describe the scene.

Oh, he knows!

If I had to ask, have you ever seen a giant tornado made of knife light? He had never seen one before.

Today, he saw it.

…

The days of rushing to the Kalina Line were boring.

Although the battle was becoming more and more intense and the Demon King's army was becoming more and more crazy, there was no doubt that Louis was not the kind of person who was so busy that he didn't even have time to spare.

On the contrary, he even felt somewhat relaxed.

Even a little too relaxed.

On the way to the Kalina Defense Line following various forces, he was so bored that he found a demigod from the Cursed Legion to follow the team in the front row, and then he took the little swan to hide in the military world to play.

Well, it’s late but it’s time to ruin the little swan.

All in all, as a great general on the battlefield, Louis's attack really made the weak little swan feel weak and powerless.

Fortunately, these days like King Zhou soon came to an end.

Because the Kalina Line was so close, he could already smell the smoke of war.

"Olivia, you stay and follow them. I'll go take a look at the battlefield."

It will take some time for the reinforcements of the Church of the God of Glory and Justice to reach the center of the battlefield, but Louis can't wait any longer.

He smelled a familiar scent.

That is the power of jealousy, the great sin.

But it seems that his condition is very bad, and now he can't even hide his breath.

That's right. After all, although he didn't kill him immediately, he definitely killed him.

The attack that stripped him of his authority was like a thousand cuts, designed to tear flesh and blood from his body.

It hurts! It hurts so much! That kind of horrible pain almost drives the other person crazy.

Louis was amused when he realized that the other party actually wanted to attack an ordinary soldier.

I'm jealous. It's been such a long time since we last met. How come you're so lame? It's really rude to attack a soldier.

Since you are already like this, why don't you just come after me! He attacked without hesitation, but he never expected that at the moment when time stopped, he actually saw the soldier... move? !

Fuck, I can act under the influence of his time stop and Time Island martial arts.

Even jealousy could not stop his move that was unrivaled among demigods.

The moment he made his move, the Great Sin - Jealousy finally came to his senses and realized that he was in a desperate situation.

But he seemed to have forgotten that Louis would not attack him directly, but under extreme fear, he still did not hesitate to blow his body into hundreds of thousands of pieces.

Every piece of flesh was wrapped in his will and spread out to the surrounding areas.

It was obvious that he had lost the courage to fight Louis.

However, Louis would not allow him to escape easily.

So the next moment, infinite sword light swung out directly.

Cialdini, did you see that?

It’s not that your sword can’t defeat him, it’s just that your level is not high enough.

With just one blow, Jealous' flesh and blood were almost completely destroyed.
