Primo looked at his father lying on the ground in the distance. He was heartbroken with grief, but he could not rush over to retrieve his father's body.

Charles on the side quickly advised him not to dwell on his sadness, but to think about what to do next.

When Zelens unleashed his powerful sword skills, and then his body suffered backlash, Charles understood that he was trying to make a desperate move.

As a result, Zelens died, but the demon commander was unscathed. Now, everyone could see that they could only be facing the demon king himself.

Charles watched the devil approaching them from a distance. Even from a distance of several hundred meters, he could feel the pressure of the approaching, which was almost breathless.

Despite this, he could not retreat. Although his conduct was not very good and he usually had a careless attitude, at least he had a sense of honor as a knight.

Zelens risked his own life to save them, but what about him? He has been a knight for so many years, but he has not achieved anything.

So at this moment, he must fight for Baifeng Town and the people behind him, even if he sacrifices himself.

Facing the pressure of the devil, Charles not only did not retreat, but stepped forward with his head held high.

Behind him were the remaining thousands of soldiers. In this kind of battle, any tactics were futile, so he immediately ordered everyone to retreat to the town, and if necessary, abandon the city with the people.

However, most of the soldiers stood still because this order was an insult to them.

Charles was immediately in trouble and didn't know how to persuade them, until Primo tried to calm down and then spoke to them earnestly.

"My fellow soldiers, we are facing a demon king with terrifying strength. Even the legendary Paladin Zelens is powerless to resist. We have no chance of winning, so now is not the time to show off. We must save humanity.

With our strength, from now on, this Baifeng Town will be the first line of defense for mankind, and your retreat is definitely not a shame, but for the ultimate survival of mankind."

"What about you? And Commander Charles, will you retreat together?" a soldier said suddenly.

Primo glanced at Charles and then replied.

"I will stay here and delay for you."

"Huh?" Charles felt puzzled, "What nonsense are you talking about, and you still want to make meritorious deeds? It would be a pity to die here. You should go with them and let me stay to break up the family."

"Haha, what a good brother," Primo laughed and patted his shoulder, "I'm very happy to fight side by side with someone like you, but I'm the last person here who should leave, because my father

As he is still lying there, I must take back his body as the last act of repaying my kindness to him as an unscrupulous man."

"That's...okay."

Charles saw that it would be unwise to continue persuading him at this point. He nodded and decided to fight alongside Primo.

Next, all the soldiers no longer stayed, they quickly retreated to Baifeng Town, and were ready to abandon the city and flee at any time.

Not long after, there were only two lonely and insignificant figures left on the huge battlefield, but those soldiers who looked back at them found that there were two majestic souls standing here, and they silently remembered this in their hearts.

A scene that I decided to pass on forever.

…

Nova slowly approached the humans. He was not in a hurry. Rather, he wanted to see what these humans would do in such a desperate moment.

The result was somewhat unexpected. He thought these people would be defeated immediately, but unexpectedly they retreated in an orderly manner, leaving the two commanders behind.

This is completely unreasonable tactically, because even if you know you can't defeat him, you should keep the commander at all costs so that you can have a chance to make a comeback, but these humans do the opposite.

Nova fell into self-doubt again. It was the same when he faced Zelens just now. He suddenly discovered that his experience of more than a thousand years seemed to be biased. Human beings are not completely useless, although most of them only know how to do it.

Driven by interests, there are also noble people.

However, a voice in his heart kept telling him that humans are pests. If they are allowed to develop, they will one day destroy the world. He must prevent humans from continuing to do evil. This is the meaning of his existence.

The more he fell into confusion, the louder the sound became, making him upset. But when he gave up distracting thoughts and thought that human beings should not exist, his ears finally gained peace.

So, he no longer hesitated and quickly came to Primo and Charles.

"Haha, have you two been abandoned by those people?" Nova sneered casually, "How pitiful, but the door of our demon clan is always open to brave and noble people like you."

"Tsk, tsk, put away your tricks, you ugly monster." Primo couldn't help but choked angrily.

Charles also looked disgusted, but then smiled.

"Noble? I'm really grateful for the compliment. It's a pity that I'm just an unreliable little person."

Their attitude was obvious. Nova couldn't help but sigh and finally compromised, "Oh, I thought you were smart people. It's really a pity. Then I have to ask you to die."

After he said that, he directly threw the black flame condensed in his hand at them. This kind of flame can last forever as long as there is a continuous supply of magic power. However, there is no threat in throwing it casually.

The two easily dodged, and then they both raised their swords and unleashed their sword skills on him. Nova was not frightened at all, and actually stood on the spot, ready to receive their attacks head-on.

The next moment, countless translucent swords pierced his body, pricking him like a hedgehog, and Charles's sword penetrated him directly. With a numbness, he suddenly felt that his whole body could not move.

Seeing that the Demon King lost his ability to resist, Primo used his second sword skill and cut his body into two pieces with the transformed giant sword.

However, the neat cross-section did not bleed. The broken parts immediately stretched out countless filaments and connected each other, and soon returned to a complete body.

The two of them were stunned, but Charles quickly realized that if it weren't for this characteristic, he would not have survived Zelens' sword skills.

After a few seconds, as the feeling of powerlessness in his body disappeared, Nova launched his attack slowly. He opened his mouth slightly and spit out a burst of black mist.

The two people who were enveloped quickly covered their mouths and noses and retreated until they were out of the range of the black mist. However, Nova suddenly appeared behind them like a ghost.

Two balls of flame were condensed with his hands, intending to hit them from behind, but after Charles put on light armor, his movements became very flexible. While pushing Primo away, he also dodged perfectly.

But Nova had a backup plan. After the black flames collided with the black mist, a violent explosion occurred, and the resulting shock wave knocked the two of them to the ground.

They were shocked and suffered internal injuries, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, but this was not over yet, Nova continued to launch the offensive.

This time he directly stretched his hand to the sky, and then, a dark thing appeared in the clouds, which simply blocked the sky and the sun.

Charles looked up and was shocked because it was actually a black sun.

Although this is not the case at all, in human eyes, something that completely blocks even the brilliance of the sun can only be described as a black sun.

Primo also showed a look of despair. As long as the Demon King has this trick, it is impossible for humans to win, because in the face of absolute strength, any tactics are meaningless.

"I'll ask you one last time," Nova said with a gloomy face, "if you are willing to join the demon clan, so that you can survive, along with the people you protect."

Primo was really moved when he heard what he said, but it was not for himself, but for the people of Baifeng Town.

Of course, not only him, but also Charles was hesitant. He thought that as a regiment leader, he had never done anything for the people. If he could sacrifice his chivalry at this time in exchange for the survival of tens of thousands of people, what would he do?

Are you happy or not?

But the premise is that this demon king will really fulfill his promise. There is no doubt that this is simply a fantasy, and they finally chose the path of destruction.

"...Really? Then there is nothing we can do," Nova finally gave up. He closed his eyes and couldn't bear to see these two noble people die, and then said softly, "Sorry, let's destroy them together with your compatriots.

!”

He waved his hand heavily, and the huge thing above the clouds quickly fell, approaching the ground, accompanied by increasingly scorching heat.

He was about to destroy all the living creatures around him. At the critical moment, a voice interrupted him.

"Wait a minute!" Primo suddenly shouted.

Nova immediately stopped the falling sun and opened his eyes.

"What? Changed your mind?"

"I..." Primo knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "I choose to be loyal to you, and please let others go."

"Hey, you idiot!" Charles was instantly furious and grabbed him by the collar, "Do you think the demons will keep their promises? Don't be stupid, these guys are eager to destroy mankind."

Primo broke away from him casually, and then spoke plausibly.

"Charles, don't you understand? If the Demon King wanted to kill us, he would have done it long ago. Why bother to wait like this? If you know the current situation, you can also join the Demon Clan, so that we can all survive."

"Bah! Damn traitor, I'll kill you first!" Charles immediately released his sword skills and vowed to eliminate Primo on the spot.

Of course, since Primo surrendered to the demons, Nova would not let this happen, so he teleported behind Charles and used a hand knife on him.

The blow was not strong, because he admired Charles more and more after seeing his various behaviors, so he intended to turn him into a member of the demon clan.

However, precisely because he did not exert much force and his movements were a bit slow, Charles actually dodged this blow.

At this time, Nova lost some patience and decided to be cruel, so he teleported in front of him again and pushed his knee into his abdomen.

The result was still the same. Charles reacted extremely quickly and dodged the attack again.

Nova couldn't help but frown, and at this moment, Primo touched his behind at some point.

Before he could continue his offensive against Charles, Primo's second sword skill was aimed directly at his heart. The next second, the giant sword directly pushed Nova away, and his body was instantly stabbed by the tip of the sword.

Make a big hole.

Nova didn't expect this at all. Before he could react, Charles smiled as if his plan had succeeded, and then used the third sword skill to paralyze his body again.

The extremely strong self-healing ability immediately began to repair the wound, but the giant sword was always in the middle, making it impossible for the filaments to connect, and Nova was temporarily unable to use his strength.

However, facing this sudden betrayal, he did not panic at all. Instead, he used his last strength to turn his eyes and glanced at the sky.
