Chapter 23: The Line of Defense Collapses

"Level 11 demon!"

Following the exclamation, the valley was in chaos. Adolf and others stood up in shock. They only saw the red light door in the center of the valley. They didn't know when the surging demon tide had disappeared. Instead, there was a huge

Black figure.

This figure occupies the entire light door. As the red channel moves forward slowly and forcefully, from a distance, it looks like a cow trying to squeeze out of the python's belly.

Although they have not yet walked out of the light gate, within a radius of several hundred meters with the light gate as the center, there is a violent aura. This aura spreads wave after wave, like a sea wave. The human warriors who are slightly closer are all

Feeling great pressure.

Finally, this demon squeezed out of the light door.

When it completely set foot on the earth, there was a bang, and an boundless momentum exploded that made people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts. The entire valley trembled under the raging pressure.

Bang! Dozens of human knights at the front of the battlefield retreated collectively. Their horses sat down and neighed. Blood flowed from the mouths and noses of many people.

"Hold on!" Adolf yelled anxiously, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to invest more reserves to stabilize the defense line.

But at this moment, his eyes froze.

The eyes of all the generals and noble lords around him were frozen.

Everyone was shocked to find that after the demon appeared, another identical figure appeared in the light door. The terrifying aura was exactly the same as the previous demon.

Ka... Although at this moment, the sounds of fighting, roars and screams on the battlefield have disappeared from our ears. Throughout the valley, countless warring demons and human warriors are like a mime. But everyone is still

I heard this sound that didn't exist.

Before the eleventh-level demon took action, the already extremely fragile defense line cracked like cracked porcelain.

The first line of defense finally collapsed.

First, dozens of armored mud demons rushed out from a gap in the defense line. They bared their teeth and claws, scrambling for the first place. The human soldiers around them fell to the ground like collapsed mud walls. The horses were neighing sadly, and the injured were screaming.

The scene was in a mess.

Although several knights tried to block the gap, in the end, a team of demons led by two level 10 demons stopped their efforts.

Once a gap appears, the tide of demons trapped inside is like a flood, which can no longer be stopped. In order to preserve their combat effectiveness, the officers can only issue orders to form formations to protect themselves and to fight and retreat. For a time, the entire defense line was destroyed.

They all started to collapse step by step.

In front of the surging black tide, human knights are like floating debris, pushed by the tide, constantly retreating, or being submerged.

Looking at everything in front of him, Adolf swayed, spit out a mouthful of blood, raised his head and fell down.

"Your Highness!"

…………

War horses gallop on the official road.

Ans Ayer and Charles, one on the left and the other on the right, followed a noble knight with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was not angry and proud, and they were galloping at lightning speed.

Behind them were more than 3,000 knights wearing silver-white armor. According to different levels and status, they wore black cloaks with gold, silver and red edges. The cloaks fluttered high with the sound of the wind.

As they rise, the horses rise and fall, their iron hooves clank, and they rush like rolling thunder.

The faces of Ans Ayer and Charles were not very good-looking.

Not long ago, during the fierce battle that night in Munich, Charles listened to Ansel's dissuasion and broke away from the joint camp of several major families headed by Scarlett at the last moment, taking a neutral position.

This allowed the Knights of the Tomahawk to not only remain unscathed in the event that caused the great earthquake in the empire, but also won the friendship of Archduke Adolf.

Since then, the whole province of Lullian has opened its doors to the Renault family. The family’s interests and share of power in Lullian have increased more than ten times than before. Such achievements, in today’s demon invasion, all

It is especially rare when all the major forces are passing through Lulian.

The Duke of Renault recalled Ansel and Charles at the first opportunity. After a closed-door discussion and prayer, the Grand Duke personally convened a meeting and announced a series of rewards for the two men.

As a result, Charles and Ansel, who were not particularly outstanding among the second and third generations of the family, rose sharply in status. Not only did they enter the list of core members of the Renault family and the Tomahawk Knights, but they were also appointed by the Duke.

Preside over Lulian's affairs.

But just when Charles and Ansel returned to Lullian with great ambition, they did not expect that a disaster suddenly struck the land that had just returned to peace.

Abyss Demon Invasion!

Ans Ayer and Charles were stunned when they heard the news.

Anyone who knows about the tragedy ten thousand years ago will know what this sentence means to the entire southern empire and the tens of millions of people here.

That means a hellish scene!

The two of them were extremely anxious when they thought that Lulian was being ravaged by the demons of the abyss, and that their family's investment and their own hard work had been wiped out. Therefore, when they learned that the Tomahawk Knights had been ordered to support Lulian, they immediately joined the knights.

, headed south together.

Originally, in order to prevent the Fei Lie Empire's Southern Army from marching north after defeating the main force of Lulian, the Tomahawk Knights had been stationed at the northern border of Lulian. However, as the dust of the war settled, the Knights were gradually transferred back to the imperial capital. Now they are stationed at

Lulian's force only accounts for one-third of the total strength.

As one of the top five knights in the empire, in the past, not to mention one-third, even one-fifth of the Tomahawk Knights was enough to scare any opponent. But now, Anseye

Er and Charles were just nervous and anxious.

One after another, battle reports came from the entrance to the abyss, telling them how serious the situation was now. Although Adolf had put all the troops Lulian could organize, including mercenaries, into the battle, the situation was still in a state of flux.

step deterioration.

As the nearest rescue team, no one knows what kind of situation they will face when more than 3,000 people arrive. But everyone knows one thing. If they cannot arrive when the first line of defense is lost,

If so, then the role of the Tomahawk Knights will be reduced ten times!

The sound of horse hooves is rapid.

After turning around a small hill covered by dense forest, we reached the valley where the entrance to the abyss is located.

In the field of vision, a large number of logistics workers, carriages and wounded people were transported. When they saw a large number of troops being mobilized, suddenly, chaos was like ripples. From the dusty front battlefield to this side

Spread rapidly.

"The first line of defense is broken!"

"Lost!"

When one after another panicked screams rang in the ears, the leading square-faced knight gave a shout, led Ans Ayer and Charles, and rode up a hillside by the roadside.

An iron-flowing team whizzed past them, speeding towards the location of the Chinese military camp without stopping. The faces of the three people who climbed the hillside were already pale.

They finally saw the invading abyss demons.

It was an endless black tide. They had rushed out of the valley, torn apart the defense lines, and surged in all directions.

Destroy everything!

…………

As the level 12 demon got closer and closer, the pressure became stronger and stronger, and the guard tower was already as dead as a tomb.

Although everyone had given up any hope of surviving after realizing that they had fallen into the devil's trap. But when the moment really came, the darkness and coldness brought by death still made them shudder.

Everyone looked at Roy, waiting for his instructions.

Unknowingly, this dark-haired young man who looked like a rookie had become the core of hundreds of experienced senior mercenaries.

Not to mention that he rescued most of the people here, just the strength and wisdom he showed in the fight with Moton just now made people impressed.

A fierce and powerful man from the Sanctuary tried his best to attack repeatedly, but he was unable to subdue this kid. Instead, he wasted a lot of time on his temptation, so that more than thirty of his subordinates were killed.

I just ran away in a panic.

Everyone can't help but wonder how far this kid will grow if he is given another twenty years.

When this idea came to mind, many people had even secretly compared him with Augustus, who was known as the greatest genius in mankind for hundreds of years.

The result of the comparison is that there is no answer.

That tall and god-like figure has been recognized as a super genius in the human world for more than twenty years. His talent, family background and even appearance can only be looked up to. Going back a hundred years, geniuses who are like stars can only be admired.

Can be eclipsed by his light.

For any genius, being born in the same era as Augustus is an extremely painful experience.

But no one expected that here, everyone would see a figure who was not inferior to Augustus in every aspect.

This innocent-looking young man with a hint of confusion in his smile showed talent and strength that far exceeded people's imagination. No one knew what would happen if he and Augustus fought against each other. But everyone believed that

, if all the geniuses in the world are ranked together, then he is the one closest to Augustus!

In the eyes of everyone, Roy took a deep breath. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a shocked uproar.

"I will lure this demon away..."

No one believed their ears, but just when Landero and others were about to object, Roy waved his hand to stop them.

Roy said quickly, "There's no time to say more now. Listen to me... we must not let it stay here. If so, we will all die!"

He looked around and glanced at the faces of each mercenary: "A level 12 demon alone may be terrifying. However, if it is allowed to lead an army of demons, its terrifying level will increase ten thousand times.

.With our strength, even with this guard tower, we cannot be its opponent!"

Everyone's faces were ugly.

Although they were very reluctant, everyone admitted that what Leo said was right. A level 12 demon that could get cover and support from countless demons at any time would be almost invincible.

Taking the head of a general among thousands of armies sounds very passionate and powerful.

But if a general can beat you four hundred times, and when you are tired, you can rest and recover among an army of millions, and let your subordinates take turns fighting you, constantly wearing you down, then in the end you will just be like a big carrot.

The same thing, cut into pieces with a knife, and then chopped into pieces!

Taking someone else's head? It would be easier and faster than cutting off one's own head.

But... having said that, it is difficult for everyone to accept Roy's plan. If he lures away the twelve-level demons by himself, wouldn't that mean he is going to die?

You know, even a junior Saint Domain powerhouse like Moton has no power to fight back in front of a level 12 demon. Although in the previous battle, Roy withstood Moton's violent storm.

With normal attacks, he really had to face a level 12 demon. Everyone doubted whether he could last a round.

In the hesitant eyes of everyone, Roy smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I have set a trap. As long as we can lure it over, we might have a chance to escape."

"But if you..." Sandra suddenly said.

She only said half of what she said, but everyone present understood what she meant. And this was what they were most worried about.

"That is of course the worst outcome..." Roy said calmly, "But, between no chance and one in ten thousand chance, we should still choose the latter, right?"

Hundreds of mercenaries looked at Roy in silence.

At this moment, regardless of age, gender and seniority, no matter which mercenary group he came from, what camp or position he stood on, everyone was in awe of this young black-haired youth.

They all know that this choice seems easy to make, but Leo has to fight for that one in ten thousand chance.

It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, and someone tells you that if you take a step forward, you may fall into the abyss, or you may find a way out. Who is willing to take the initiative to stand up? The way out is everyone's, but your life is yours. In this way

Is the choice really that simple?

But here in Leo, it's that simple.

This is the most respectable thing about him. Compared with his strength, his wisdom, and his talent, his responsibility will always be greater. But this is something that many capable people cannot do.

.

What is a knight? This is the real knight.

"I'll go with you!"

In the silence, Afu suddenly spoke.

Following her voice, everyone became excited.

"I'm going!"

"I'll go too!"

Roy shook his head, stopped everyone's active invitation, and said: "I can only do this thing by myself. Having more people will be a drag. I only hope that before I come back, everyone can work together to defend the

Here. If it succeeds, let’s go out together. If it fails..."

Feeling the increasingly intense aura of terror, Roy finally smiled at everyone: "I'm very happy to be able to fight side by side with you all."

After saying that, he jumped into the air, his body flipped upside down in the air, and after a moment of stagnation, he shot out like an arrow from the string. Before everyone could recover, in the blink of an eye, he had already exited the gate of the guard tower.

, became a small dot in the field of vision.

At this time, the terrifying red figure in the distance had already arrived in front of the guard tower. From the perspective of a bystander, Leo almost ran straight towards the red demon.

"Leo!" . . . .(To be continued.)
