On the same day that the Demon King Richard breached the Yellow Sand City, the Ophiuchi Empire's army swept the docks in the Beastmen and Evil Dragon Empire's territory. Meanwhile, the Dragon Boat Empire and Rhode Island's allied forces successfully invaded the Evil Dragon Empire's territory.
What the Adventurer's Guild didn't know was that the Luyas Empire's army in the north was currently in the Elemental Demon King's territory. Hero White Duris led her magic army over the snowy mountains and attacked the Elemental Demon King Kiva's important territory, the Arctic Hell. This was one of the important territories that nurtured elemental spirits, the home of the ice elementals.
"Search the place! From today onwards, this is our Luyas Empire's territory! "
White raised her staff and commanded the army in an ice castle. It seemed that they had already conquered this ice castle.
The plan went smoothly, and the top decision-makers in the Union headquarters all had excited expressions on their faces. It was another victory, and this battle would be recorded in the annals of history, along with the Winter Counterattack.
And this time, the one who issued it was no longer the famous War God Anmihu. Instead, it was the top decision-makers represented by Layle Phoenix.
"Beautiful battle situation! The Ophiuchi Empire's Sea God Army has already breached the enemy's sea defense line! And obtained the control of the coastal ports! "
"Great! Now we don't have to worry about the cargo ships being hijacked. We can open up more shipping routes! " Ito Suwo, one of the top decision-makers and in charge of transportation, said happily. The Guild was an organization formed to unite the countries to resist the Demon Race. But as the Demon Race's forces grew stronger, the Adventurer's Guild also gradually developed into a colossus that could rival a large country. Its work was diverse and complicated. It was no longer as simple as post-war recovery, assisting in battles, and recruiting people to resist the Demon Race.
Production, transportation, processing, service, and so on. The Adventurer's Guild's shadow could be seen everywhere in life. The Adventurer's Guild, which possessed magic technology that wasn't inferior to the Dragon Boat Empire, dominated a region in transportation. The land transportation business accounted for almost 90% of the world's transportation business, and 30% of the sea transportation business, which was only 10% less than the Ophiuchi Empire.
But this kind of organization didn't have a political territory. All the businesses of the Guild were scattered in the territories of various empires, and most of them were small countries. These small countries relied on trade unions to fight against other large countries. Therefore, the relationship between the major countries and the unions was very subtle. They were allies, but they were always fighting in the dark. In order to prevent the unions from stealing their magic like how they stole the technology of the Dragon Boat Empire, the Luyas Empire cut off the union's request for an alliance.
Apart from President An Mihu, all six of the highest decision-makers of the Supreme Council were present. It was a rare sight.
"It would be great if the North also intervened! Heavily injuring the three Demon King at the same time will buy us a lot of time to develop. "The big Leo said. He was the biggest person among the top decision makers.
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is to be expected. The Luyas Empire is just that stubborn. It's unrealistic to count on them."
She used to study in the Luas Empire and was classmates with the barbaric princess, White Durriss. She thought she would have a chance to become an envoy of the union and improve the relationship between the union and the Luas Empire.
However, she did not expect that the other party would not give her any face at all. That experience was Layel's dark history.
"Then according to the plan, Lord Anmihu's army should have already retreated to the Ross Defensive Line, right?" Vice President Marlon Clay asked.
The Ross Defensive Line was a defensive line with the capital of the Ross Empire as the center.
"There are no retreating troops at the Ross Defensive Line," Leo replied.
"Could it be that they were delayed on the way?" Nira, who had dark circles under his eyes, asked worriedly.
"Possibly, but don't worry. The one leading the army is Lord An Mihu. Lord An Mihu has never lost a battle before." Fatty Menlo, who was sitting beside Ito, said with a smile.
Indeed, he was a miracle and a living legend. Everyone, from three-year-old children to eighty-year-old elders, knew of An Mihu.
He was probably the only person in the world who could make people feel at ease just by mentioning his name.
"But that's exactly why it's strange. Lord An Mihu should have arrived long ago." Nira continued.
As soon as he said that, everyone suddenly quieted down.
Layel frowned. Nira's words did make sense. Everyone had overlooked a problem.
An Mihu was already an old man, but everyone did not want to admit it. No, to be precise, they did not want to face it.
The lifespan of a human was limited.
"What are you talking about?! Every time there was a war, didn't Lord An Mihu return victorious?! "
Fatty Menlo shouted. He looked flustered. After all, the trump card and core of the union was An Mihu.
However, at this moment, a knock on the door attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is it? Don't you know we're in a meeting?! "
"It's my people. I told them to inform me as soon as there's important news." Layel suddenly stood up and slowly walked to the door. After opening it, there was an old man. Many people in the union knew him. He was the butler of the Phoenix family and also a master swordsman.
"Miss, this letter was specially sent from the frontline. It's very important."
The old butler said.
"Well, okay, thank you. You can leave first."
Layel took the letter. The old butler politely showed an apologetic smile to everyone, bowed slightly, and closed the door.
"Why was the letter from the frontline sent to your people?"
At this time, Ito said unhappily.
This question also existed in the hearts of the other top decision-makers.
It wasn't a question of who it was sent to. The problem was that the person who sent the letter was An Mihu.
An Mihu's reply wasn't sent to Vice President Marlon, but to Layel. Everyone noticed that something was wrong.
"Is the letter real?"
Layel's face became serious. Her heart was beating wildly. She was very excited, but she tried her best to suppress it. This made her happy because this letter represented the president's approval of her.
"It's real. It has the president's seal."
Ito's eyes widened.
"The president is also angry. If other people open it, they'll probably be hurt." Leo frowned. There was some disappointment in his eyes.
The president didn't choose him. Why?
In terms of raw strength, he was stronger than Layel. He was better at leading troops and was familiar with the union's operations. There were many forces in the union that supported him. He didn't know how he lost to Layel.
Layel took a deep breath and showed a determined look.
"Then I'll open it."
After saying that, she tore open the wax seal with the union's seal. Suddenly, the letter flew out of Layel's hand and floated on the empty seat.
"I believe everyone should be here."
Suddenly, the letter kept expanding and contracting. An Mihu's voice came from inside.
"I've received the battle plan. It's very bold and very tight. To be honest, it gave me a shock. Hohoho, was it Layel who came up with this idea? It really surprised me. Looks like you're not a stiff little girl. Cough, cough. Sorry, sorry. Okay, let's get back to business. "
His voice paused for a few seconds. Everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva and become nervous.
"Your plan is very good, but there's a flaw. This flaw may cause the battle to fail and you'll be checkmated."
An Mihu's tone became serious. Everyone straightened their backs solemnly. This was no longer a small flaw. It was a fatal flaw. What exactly went wrong?
"Letting the army retreat from the first line of defense is the biggest flaw in the plan. This plan is based on the three Demon Kings working together to fight against me. This is what you said. If that's the case, if I retreat early, the Demon Kings will notice that something is wrong. They might even realize that their whereabouts have been exposed. If they suddenly turn back, the consequences will be unimaginable. Without the main force to fight against the Demon King, humans will be in a very dangerous situation. "
At this point, everyone's face changed. Nila covered her mouth and looked like she was about to cry. Leo clenched his teeth and his face was tense. The others lowered their heads in silence.
"So, I'm sorry. I didn't act according to your plan. I'll stay here with the soldiers who are willing to stay and delay the three Demon Kings as much as possible. If I don't come back, you know what to do. Finally, may the glory of humans last forever! "
An Mihu's voice disappeared. The letter slowly floated on the table. The six people's faces were pale and sad.
This time, can the Military God create a miracle again?
In the distant eastern front, the ground was devastated under the artillery fire. The city walls were riddled with holes. The soldiers were still fighting with blood. The sky was full of black smoke. Many soldiers were leaning against the city wall. Some of them were sleeping, some were motionless, holding their weapons and lying there forever.
"The western wall has fallen!! Flame Blast Unit! Block the city wall!!! "
A hoarse shout came from the artillery fire. A huge bull-headed monster appeared in the city wall. It broke through the city wall and rushed toward the soldiers. It instantly broke through the soldiers' line of defense.
"Mo!!"
Behind him were numerous demon soldiers. At this moment, a sword light flashed, and the bull-headed monster at the front was instantly cut into two halves. The demon soldiers who had just poured into the city were instantly turned into black charcoal under the flash of the sword light.
Then a group of sorcerers rushed over. They cast spells. Flames burned fiercely. The ground arched and fused with the city wall.
The soldiers were exhausted. However, the black mass of demons outside the city wall was attacking all the time. General Xia Long, who was commanding on the city wall, felt powerless. He gasped for breath. The pain in his throat felt like a few knives were stuck in it.
At this moment, a huge monster suddenly appeared in front of him. It was taller than the city wall. In other words, it was at least 20 meters. But what shocked Xia Long was not its size.
"Demon King? No, no! "
He widened his eyes. The monster in front of him had five eyes. They were arranged in a row. The eye in the middle of its face was the largest and emitted a red light. The scales on its body were like pine cones, but they were not attached to each other. Instead, there were many starfish-like tentacles growing out of its body.
Primitive and terrifying.
This was Xia Long's first impression of this monster. He slowly opened his mouth. His brain lost the ability to think.
Suddenly, the monster's body made a terrible sound. Countless explosions sounded. Its body scattered like a swarm of insects. The scales on its body flew out in an instant. Tens of thousands of arrows shot out together with a terrifying impact.
"Ah!!!"
Xia Long came back to his senses and rushed down the stairs.
He could feel the city wall shaking. It was like a suspension bridge in the wind. The violent hurricane swept up countless soldiers. Countless screams were accompanied by the rumbling sound of the city wall collapsing.
I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore!!
Just when Xia Long was about to collapse, the bricks under his body suddenly sank. He fell down along with the city wall.
"Ah!"
He yelled, turned around, and threw out his braid. It wrapped around the crack in the wall, and then slammed heavily into the wall. Fortunately, the falling bricks didn't hit him. At this moment, he felt like he was a person in a torrent, and he could only resign himself to fate.
He saw countless black soldiers pouring into the city below. It's over. It's all over. I'm going to die here.
"Xia Long!"
At this moment, he felt someone grab him from behind. Then the world turned upside down. He flew out. When he came back to his senses, what appeared in front of him was scorched earth. He turned around and saw a white-haired old man.
"You should retreat. Take the survivors and leave here! Bring the news back. Other than the Demon King, there are more dangerous enemies. They can summon the ancient … "
Bang!!
A violent explosion made Xia Long unable to hear An Mihu's last words.
"Go!!"
An Mihu threw him. Xia Long flew up.
"Wait …"
He opened his mouth but found that he could no longer speak. He watched An Mihu turn around. He stood straight. Facing the fierce demon army, he still raised his sword unhurriedly. The moment Xia Long did not see him swing his sword, he was flashed by a white light.
"General!!"
"General, are you okay?"
Xia Long opened his eyes and found a few dusty soldiers beside him.
He saw the dusty faces and clean eyes. In that instant, he understood An Mihu's meaning. He wanted to take them back!
"Go."
He squeezed out a word and stood up.
The scattered flames and stones, the corpses and bricks falling from the city walls, the struggling wounded crawling on the ground, and the black smoke. In this chaotic battlefield, there was a white-haired old man. His clothes were as clean as new, and the sword in his hand was as bright as a mirror.
A huge monster appeared in front of him, and a huge tentacle slammed down.
Blue veins suddenly appeared on An Mihu's right hand. He opened his eyes wide. Suddenly, all the weapons on the battlefield flew up and hit the monster.
"Go back to hell, ancient monster!!"
He swung his sword with all his might. Everyone only saw the moment he raised his sword and the moment he swung it down. They didn't even see the afterimage. His body was clearly emitting white light, but everyone had an illusion that it was like an ink painting, and An Mihu had only drawn a single stroke.
In an instant, the world turned white.
