Chapter 161: Sacrifice

Some of the older witchers had their faces covered deep in their palms, and their lifelong faith had collapsed before their eyes, which they couldn't accept for a moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Morale was already extremely low, Joe looked around, and said worriedly, "Boss, let's withdraw too, there is no hope of winning now." ”

"Well, you take the wounded gentleman and the young man first."

"Boss, what do you mean. Where are you going? ”

Hansel pointed into the distance and said with a smile, "Do you think the demon will let us retreat smoothly?" ”

I don't know when, the battlefield is no longer so noisy, the demon hunters stood up, and found that the human forces had been completely wiped out, and the battlefield was surrounded by demons on all sides, and they surrounded this place at a very fast speed.

"Boss, then you take them first, and I'll come to the back of the palace." Joe handed David to his companion and stood in front of Hansel and said resolutely.

The leader of the witchers, who was as majestic as a lion, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, smiled and said, "Joe, you are the most qualified witcher among us, and I am very relieved that you will lead everyone forward. ”

"As for us old fellows, we should have died with our nihilistic faith a long time ago, and dying on the battlefield against demons is not the best destination for us demon hunters?"

"Don't think your task is easy, Joe, let Louis know that you are still alive, he will definitely find a way to kill you, and even if he doesn't do it, he will put all kinds of infamy on you survivors."

"We are old, we don't want to live with infamy anymore, you know, it's not difficult to die, it's hard to live. Please allow us old fellows to be lazy. ”

The demon hunters on the ground who covered their faces all heard Hansel's words and stood up one after another, and those weathered faces finally showed a smile, it doesn't matter if the Holy See has abandoned us, as long as our own faith is still there, not the void and noble holy light, but in order to prevent ordinary people from being attacked by evil, this is the meaning of the existence of demon hunters.

Watching these gray-haired warriors walk to the front with laughter, checking their weapons and equipment, and exposing the ugly deeds of the old fellows, Joe and the other young demon hunters left tears in their eyes, but they knew that the boss was right, death was a simple matter, and the road to life for them was bumpy, but someone had to save their lives and tell the world what had happened to them.

"Alright, bastards, get out of here! Give us a good life and continue to let the legend of the witcher pass on. In the light of the setting sun, the male lion still straightened his waist and looked at the swarming demon army on the opposite side as if he were inspecting the troops.

Jo wiped away his tears, took David on his back, and ran off into the distance, followed by the dozen or so young demon hunters who were left of the fruit.

They unleashed the witcher's swift spell and ran wildly, no matter how Hansel and they were ready to sacrifice, Joe knew that blind grief could not avenge them or save them, and only if he managed to escape would not waste their lives.

After galloping for more than ten minutes, they passed by the artillery position, which, like the previous headquarters, was already covered with corpses, and many soldiers still retained incredible expressions.

"This group of brutes, these artillerymen don't know anything, wouldn't it be good to retreat with them directly." Paula's anger was ignited, and she couldn't understand how these knights of the Holy See could do anything to these innocent soldiers.

"Forget it, Paula, once some evil things have begun, they will have no scruples, but because of their weak hearts, they will kill everyone who has anything to do with it."

"The city of Portland is not far ahead, let's go find the government people and expose their evil faces."

"Nope." Joe, who had gone through so many things, was calmer than ever, and the corpses everywhere reminded him that Bishop Louis would not let go of anyone who knew about it, not even the object of his suspicions, in front of thirty-three papal knights and a bishop, he had no chance of winning at all, and now the primary goal was not to expose them, but to live well.

"Let's go, let's go west." In just a few tens of seconds, he made a decision, any big city is not safe, since Louis dared to kill the soldiers of the Federation, he didn't care about putting this black cauldron on the head of the demon hunter, because only they could escape under the siege of demons, and it was even very likely that those knights were in ambush not far ahead, but the target was not the demon but them.

Joe's guess was not wrong at all, now Louis is describing to the military commander in Portland how the witchers suddenly rebelled in front of the formation, and attacked the armored brigade with the demon army, and how the knights of the Holy See heroically blocked the demon's advance and covered him to ask for help from the federal government.

As for the knights who supposedly blocked the demons, they were ambushed in the way south, and their orders were to take out any fish that slipped through the net in this battle.

The commander of Portland also panicked, the main force was all north, and the remaining troops here were less than a battalion, how to fight this battle, there was no way, he had to immediately notify the military department of the president, of course, this news also immediately caused an uproar.

The president listened to the secretary's report with a blushing face in his office, he didn't understand how the situation of the war could suddenly change so much, but the top priority was to quickly mobilize troops to stop the demon's footsteps, and the United States could not afford to lose another city.

There was a bang, and before the president could decide which troops to send, the door to his office was slammed open, and Vice President Biden barged in with a team of soldiers, and the muzzles of the soldiers were aimed at the president.

"Biden, what do you want to do, mutiny?" The president was undaunted and shouted at the vice president.

"No, on the contrary, Your Excellency the President, because of the defection of the foreign armed forces that you have strongly recruited, you are now suspected of treason, and the parliament has passed a resolution by a majority vote to temporarily remove you from office until the matter is investigated, and in the meantime, I will take the presidency temporarily."

Seeing the bill in the vice president's hand, the president's face darkened, he thought for a while, raised his head and looked directly at the vice president and said, "Promise me, Biden, don't let the devil take over any more cities." “

"Of course, I am also the one who has taken the oath that I will put the interests of the United States of America first."

"Alright, take me away." The president stood up with difficulty, this blow made the old man seem to be ten years old all of a sudden, all the staff in the White House watched this old man who did his best for the country be taken away by a group of soldiers, while sympathizing with him and having a trace of fear for the vice president, nothing else, they came too fast, the president had just learned the news of the defeat at the front, and the vice president even got a parliamentary vote.

Sitting in the presidential chair, which still had residual warmth, the vice president couldn't help but close his eyes, as if enjoying the Hawaiian sun.

"Well, Your Excellency, the chair feels good." A voice suddenly rang out in the office, and the vice president opened his eyes to see the old man sitting in front of him smiling.

"Oh, it's your old man, but unfortunately, there is a code in front of the title of president."

"Hehehehehe, it's a small problem."
