Chapter 160: Betrayal
The long-haired Hansel now used all his skills like an enraged lion, the axe in his left hand parryed a heavy punch from the opposite Horn Overseer, and the one-handed crossbow in his right hand almost slipped into the opponent's eye and pulled the trigger.

No matter how strong the armor is, it can't protect the fragile eyes, and the powerful momentum of the alloy crossbow string allows the crossbow bolts to burrow into the Horned Demon Overseer's head without hindrance, making him ineffective in an instant.
Killing this difficult enemy, it was as strong as Hansel had to gasp for breath, he raised his head, looked at the brothers around him were fighting with all their might, and shouted to cheer everyone up: "Brothers, hold on a little longer, and soon Lord Bishop will be ready for large-scale magic." ā
"Don't worry, boss, we can withstand another wave." Joe pulled out the long sword inserted in the fire demon's chest at his feet, opened his mouth and smiled at Han Sayer, although it was very difficult and dangerous, but under Han Sell's leadership, everyone fought very happily.
With a whoosh, the short axe in Hansel's hand flew towards Joe, and he was slightly stunned, and the axe flew past his cheek and slashed into the head of a sneaking sheep-headed demon.
"Hey, Joe, be careful, this is the battlefield."
Boom! The alloy crossbow string made a sound, and a fire demon behind Hansel was hit with an arrow in the throat, and the half-chanted spell in his mouth was immediately snapped, and at the same time, the huge fireball energy in his hand began to be disordered, and then a huge explosion occurred, and a three-headed hellhound next to him was blown away.
"Boss, you too, be careful." Joe smiled and raised his eyebrows, reloading a row of crossbow arrows.
The role of the leader is very powerful, with the play of Hansel and Joe, the witcher can withstand this wave of demons, and the skillful cooperation has caused a lot of damage to the demons, of course, the strength of the demons is definitely not weak, and there are already 5 witchers who have told their teammates this with their lives.
"Why aren't you ready?" Joe asked as he gasped, he felt something unusual, the sound of the fire of the armies on both sides was getting weaker and weaker, and if Louis didn't make a move, he would be surrounded by demons.
As a spiritual pillar, Han Selge blocked the big axe of a minotaur, and shouted without looking back, "Who is going to ask the bishop, how long will it take to prepare?" ā
Joe struggled to cut down a demon facing a female witcher, shouting at the female warrior who was obviously a little out of strength, "Paula, you go, hurry up." ā
The female warrior gasped and nodded, not refusing, knowing that it was useless to stay in her current state. When she turned to run up the hill, she was surprised to find that there was no living person in the place that had once served as a command post except for a corpse.
"Boss, Joe, there's something wrong with the command!" The female warrior, who did not know the details at the moment, shouted loudly.
"What!?" The shouts of his companions startled Hansel, who was almost split by an axe, narrowly dodging the blade of the axe, seizing the opportunity to slit the minotaur's throat, and then quickly looked back.
As his comrades had said, there were corpses scattered all over the hill, but the keen leader of the witches had not noticed the Papal Knight's signature attire, and it seemed that there would be no reinforcements anyway, and the rest of the battle would have to be done on their own.
Seeing that the physical strength of the remaining companions around him was almost exhausted, Han Sayer gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "First repel the enemy's attack, and then everyone alternately cover the retreat, and retreat to the command post first to see the situation." ā
Desperately trying to kill the demon with his last breath and fleeing, the demon hunters supported each other and retreated to the command post.
Commanders, staff officers, agents of the Special Investigation Agency, here lie the bodies of almost everyone, except for those of the Holy See.
Hansel and Joe, who have rich hunting experience, looked at the corpse and couldn't help frowning, a sword pierced the heart, there were almost no other wounds, and a wound of this width didn't look like it was caused by a demon, could it...
"Boss, this man is still alive." A voice came from there.
Hansel and Joe hurriedly ran over, they needed to know the truth exactly.
"David?!" Joe recognized the survivor's face, and he pulled out the kettle and quickly fed him saliva.
Some David, who had lost too much blood, woke up slowly, looked at Joe's face, and asked weakly, "Where am I, is the battle over?" How's it going? ā
Hansel took over the conversation and introduced to him, "We have repelled a wave of demons, but the situation is not optimistic, the command headquarters has been terminated, the armored brigade has all been disorganized, and it will soon be wiped out, what is going on here, we must retreat." ā
"The Holy See... Holy See... Sneaked up on us..."
"What?!" "It can't be!" The other demon hunters exclaimed, this sentence subverted their beliefs since childhood, how could the Holy See, which represented justice, do such a thing.
Only Hansel and Joe did not speak, Joe was because he knew David, this is an upright man, he would not lie, and Hansel had already guessed the answer from the corpse, and David's words only confirmed his guess.
"Enough, it's hard for you to believe, but all the signs have proven it, look at the wounds on the corpse, does it look like a demon can do it?" Hansel kept a calm face at the witchers who tried to question David.
"Why did the Bishop do this?" There are still some witchers who can't believe this.
"Probably he found that he couldn't win anymore, what are we, the Demon Hunter is just a peripheral organization of the Holy See, to put it bluntly, we are just a dog raised by the Holy See, why has the Holy See never cared about our life or death for so many years, until this demon invasion." After being slapped hard by reality, Hansel finally figured everything out.
"The reason why the Holy See has everything to us this time is just because they don't want to lose their core strength, as for us, they don't care how much they lose, since we landed in the United States, we have been at the forefront of the front, and now they need to retreat, we naturally need to help them buy time to retreat."
Han Sell stopped the demon hunter who still wanted to argue and continued: "Don't think that the Holy See has any good intentions in replenishing us with weapons and equipment, they don't need these equipment themselves, and we can exchange so many helpers for us, why not." ā
The entire command post fell silent, and Joe asked, "Why did they kill David and them, just retreat, just rearrange the defense line and fight again." ā
Hansel glanced at David and said with a wry smile: "I'm not sure about this, but I guess that Bishop Louis has not really experienced war, and at most he is just exorcism, or crushing some little demons with his strength." These academic generals will appear wise and powerful when the battle is going well, but when they really encounter adversity or even a desperate situation, they can do anything for their lives. ā
"Think about it, if the demons take care of us all, then the only ones who can escape are not enough to say anything." Hansel glanced at David and said with a wry smile, "I'm curious how you escaped from their poisonous hands. ā
David regained some strength and pulled out a piece of magatama that was broken into two pieces from his collar, "It's Lee." Joe suddenly realized, and Hansel nodded, "It seems that it was because you had an adventure that Mr. Bishop missed." ā
