The second line of defense against the stone wall.

Cardinal Nero felt a little better when he saw Arius, Chino, Illario, and others safely withdrawn one by one.

He was really afraid that this evacuation plan would trigger a series of collapses due to the retreat.

"Let's stay here for a while!" Hugo offered to ask.

Arius also stayed.

The two ascetic instructors, Amon and Virgil, did not withdraw, and he did not want to go up to the rock wall to avoid the battle.

Compared to the ascetics who volunteered to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their companions, Arius felt that he had no strength to contribute.

Chino and Illario stepped forward to replace Josiah and David, allowing them to take a breath as they fought behind: "Let's go, the monsters in the direction of the canyon are enough for us!"

Bird and Thomas join the warband.

They wanted Josiah to get a break as soon as possible, as the rest of the battle would not stop when the expedition team avoided the battle.

Opposite.

The battle will be even tougher in the future.

"Hell, there are at least ten times more monsters here than in our Sanctuary!" David was really tired, the bloody battles he had experienced before were simply pediatric compared to now. Fortunately, he has tenacious willpower, and he wants to win more people's hearts while Bloody Mary is away, so his morale is still high on the surface, and he does not show half of his frustration in front of people except for secretly complaining in his heart.

"The monsters here are no less than the Death Canyon!" Josiah refers to the Death Canyon, where all the insects and beasts have fully evolved after the bombardment with a hundred cannons, not the one that could be entered and 'toured' before the collapse.

"Mr. Wood didn't catch up with ......" Hugo knew that Bloody Mary wouldn't be missing halfway, and she must have brought the news.

Mr. Wood didn't arrive.

It proves that the rear army has also been attacked by the monster tide.

As for whether there is such an ugly beast as the Devourer, Hugo has no way of knowing, he can only judge that the situation of the rear army is not optimistic, otherwise he would have waited for Mr. Wood to lead the team to support.

Cardinal Nero had on mind the safety of John the Wise with the Silver Spoon.

He somewhat regretted letting John lead the way for Bloody Mary.

In case there is an accident.

That would be a huge loss that the Legion of Eden, especially on its own side, could not bear and could not be replaced.

They held out for nearly ten minutes under the attack of the monsters, and waited for Amon and Virgil, two ascetic mentors.

"Amon!" Cardinal Nero's eyes darkened.

The ascetics are not their own faction though.

But after all, it's the same Legion of Eden.

Most importantly.

They never complained, they never fought for power, and unlike the hermitage group, the ascetics would never violate the laws of the Legion of Eden, let alone stand in the open. A group of silent and devout companions, a group of companions who can be trusted at all times, peacefully gave up their lives to protect the existence of the entire expedition......

"This is our destiny, and it is our highest glory to our Lord!" Amun's expression was calm.

"Death is but a relief!" Virgil shook his head.

"May the Lord bless every devout believer, illuminate their dark path, guide them in the direction of their confusion, and let them enter the holy and clean place of eternal life under the guidance of the Holy Light!" Cardinal Nero knew that the two ascetic teachers did not intend to return alive.

It is no wonder that they had promised to lead their disciples into the Holy Land together, because from the very beginning, they had decided to free themselves on the pilgrimage.

He could not stop the ascetic from making sacrifices.

First, it is precisely because of these ascetics that the entire expedition team has been preserved to the greatest extent, and second, this is the highest ideal of ascetics, even if they have the intention to stop it, it is impossible to succeed!

Rumble!

Boom Boom Boom ......

Explosions rang out one after another from the first stone wall.

With a heart as strong as Nero, he couldn't help but bow his head and silently draw a cross for those ascetics who sacrificed their lives.

"Go up the rock wall, we need to keep going!" Arius automatically took over the command of Nero, and he told everyone to climb the rock wall to avoid the scuffle, but he and Illario held on until the last moment.

"Nero!" Chino couldn't help but yell when he saw the remnants of Nero's cardinal and the second line of defense, he was usually a rival to Nero, but at this time, he didn't want to see Nero in danger. The Legion of Eden can have infighting, it can have contention, but not in the Underworld.

"No matter what the test is, my heart will not waver!" Cardinal Nero shook his head at Chino, who quickly adjusted his mind and personally led Amon and Virgil to the position that the Legion of Eden had prepared for them earlier.

Long Rock Canyon.

When Arius and Illario finally climbed the rock wall.

The Devourer rushed in with all sorts of monsters, large and small, and easily smashed the second remnant wall that hadn't yet closed to pieces.

Howl howl ......

A Devourer roared angrily at the humans on the rock wall.

It is seven or eight meters high, but it cannot attack human targets at least thirty meters above the rock wall, and it can't jump.

However, the Thornback Demon Dog is a master of climbing the rock wall, and they originally wanted to escape from the Devourer's side, but for some reason, there seemed to be an invisible voice scolding them and driving them. In addition to the thornback demon dog, there were also flowerback spiders and other monsters, as if they had received some kind of information command in an instant, and all of them rushed to the rock walls on both sides, and continued to attack the humans who were hiding on it.

It's different from the first line of defense.

The sloping rock walls give humans a great geographical advantage.

Moreover, the humans have found a suitable gap in the rock wall, they occupy a good position, they are condescending, and they have all kinds of sharp weapons, they can easily defeat the monsters that climb up.

The only drawback of the current human expedition team is that because of the height, the top explorer team members cannot participate in the battle.

However, the expedition members at the bottom of the ladder have been forced to breathe from the very beginning.

"Hold on, we have a good location!" Hugo kept waving his steel shield, sweeping down the monsters that climbed up.

"Watch the overhead, they'll go around!" Chino was on the other side of the rock wall, and he quickly discovered that these monsters were intelligent creatures, and they didn't attack all the time below, many monsters saw that the lower level was blocked, and immediately took a detour, attacking from above, or from any other angle from which they could attack.

"Ahh

Some of the expedition members who shot arrows below did not pay attention to the top of their heads, and were bitten by a flower-backed spider, and immediately collapsed.

Without waiting for the begging of his companions, the flowerback spider had already forcibly dragged its prey away.

While dragging away, the net is also accumulated.

Wrap your prey in layers.

By the time they reached the top of the rock face, the expedition had disappeared, except for a huge white spider web sac.

"Poisonous bees!" a fist-sized poisonous bee quietly approached, and the stinged expedition members either went crazy in pain and jumped out of the rock wall automatically, or they opened their mouths to bite their companions like madmen, completely losing their minds.

"Fire, I want more fire!" Chino led the Guardian Knight through the cracks of the rock wall, rescuing his companions in critical condition, but the scattered terrain limited his range of movement. Some of the crevices in the rock wall that they thought were the safest at the beginning of the selection were impossible to call for help in a short time without enough people to throw ropes to connect them.

Flamethrowers played a huge role.

Countless monsters under its burning.

Screaming and tumbling down the canyon.

Spiders, poisonous bees, and other insect monsters, in particular, are extremely afraid of fire.

"Those, what the hell are those things?" Under the light, a dark cloud of something was rapidly descending, and after a while it was already filling the canyon, and people didn't think it was weird at a little distance, and when they got closer, Bird, Thomas, and Josiah found that these monsters were actually strange eagles with a human skull face.

These monster eagles have a wingspan of more than three meters, and their bodies are not much different from those of giant eagles, except that their feathers have an eerie metallic sheen.

It's the head.

Although it has a curved pointed beak.

But it looks inexplicably similar to a human with a hooked nose.

If you just look at the bare skull, you will mistakenly see it as a human face with a hooked nose in the form of a belt and bone.

"That's too many!" Hugo couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the strange eagle cloud covering half of the Changyan Canyon under black pressure: "There are too many such ghosts!"

"At least more than 10,000!" Josiah looked at him with a little desperation: "We're in trouble!"

"I think there are more than 10,000, maybe 20,000, this is over, except for us who are the leaders of the team, the rest of the people may be wiped out!" David's eyes are rolling, if the matter is really irreparable, then he will definitely not bury his life for the sake of his subordinates! As the future leader of the Three Lions Sect, he is not willing to die here, and unconditionally hand over the bright future and the scepter that dominates the Three Lions Sect to Bloody Mary. Of course, he would never say this kind of careful thinking, and even if the last of his subordinates died, he would not stupidly say such a fact.

He doesn't believe in everything in the world.

Living and dead.

Except for yourself.

David believed no one.

"We have a good place, we can get through it!Any living thing, when it loses a certain amount, they will collapse!" Ilario was the main advocate of the proposal to go to the rock wall to avoid the battle, he had no idea that the situation would evolve like this, but he did not give up on the desperate situation, but chose to stick to the end.

"As long as you keep persevering, we will do our best!" Thomas knew that perseverance was the best choice, and there was no way to escape!

Running away will make you die faster!

Opposite.

Sticking to it can also occupy a little bit of geographical advantage.

Hugo looked at the dark Taniguchi and sighed slightly: "If only Mr. Wood could lead the team to arrive at this time!"

"It's useless, there are too many monsters in the canyon, there are everywhere in the sky and on the ground, Mr. Wood brought people here, and he just sent them to death!" David didn't think that Lin Dong could turn the situation around.

"You haven't fought alongside him, you don't know, it's a man who can do miracles at any time!" Hugo shook his head.

"Unless it's God, there's no solution to this situation!" David was upset.

He didn't like to hear any information from Lin Dong.

Especially Hugo's blind trust and admiration, he has an indescribable jealousy in his heart.

Hugo didn't argue with David anymore.

He didn't want to tell David.

In purgatory.

There was a dilemma that was far more desperate than it is today.

The remnants of humanity are trapped in a small valley with no geographical advantages, and in front of them are monsters far more powerful than humans, and the leader of any one of them has a wisdom far beyond the monsters of the Fallen Lands today, and those monsters even know how to use tactics...... However, in front of Mr. Wood, they are beaten to pieces like autumn wind sweeping away leaves!

This is Mr. Wood!

Hugo knew.

David has extremely strong hostility towards Mr. Wood, but no matter what aspect of jealousy David has, he is not qualified to question Mr. Wood, let alone challenge Mr. Wood, but this proud Three Lions faction 'King David' has not yet realized this!

At this time.

Five kilometers from Long Rock Canyon.

Lin Dong led the special combat team and they rushed all the way, and finally saw the Changyan Canyon in the distance.

"God willing, there is still light in the canyon!" said John the Wise with the Silver Spoon, weeping with joy, for he was afraid that when he returned, he would see darkness.

"Where there is light, there is hope, let's move on!" Lin Dong glanced at the griffins: "Let's do a test next, the point system, five points are excellent, and less than three points are unqualified, before the end of the battle, one point will be accumulated for each different monster captured, and three points will be deducted if you are seriously injured in the battle, lose your combat strength or faint, no matter how you performed before, you will be deducted five points directly." The genetic warriors with excellent grades can choose my next genetic medicine, and those who are not qualified can go back to their own closed training for a year!"

"Are ants a type of monster?" the griffin caught a small ant from the upper of his shoe and was struck by an idea.

"What do you say?" Lin Dong didn't bother to look at him.

"Definitely not!" The griffin immediately crushed the little ant with his fingers, and showed his determination with a righteous face: "Lord Celestial, I will help you supervise, no one can use small animals to fool around! It must be a real monster, I promise you, I will stare at everyone with bright eyes!"

"Keep an eye on yourself first, Mr. Griffin, who is trying to steal chickens and pretend to be a good man!" Fawkes couldn't help but complain about this treasure when he heard it.
