Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Fall
"After looking for so long, will they be here?" said one of the demons.
"Shut your mouth for me. Phil paused and said, "We're doing what Lord Aligus has ordered, not just looking for a place to whine. ”
"The subordinates understand that there should be no questioning. The envoy hurriedly bowed his head, "Lord Phil, but what I said is also true, after all, we have been looking for so long and have not found anything." ”
"Of course I know that's the truth. Phil said with a gloomy face, "But we can only do our best for now, cheer me up, those intruding humans are likely to hide in any corner." ”
The last time I was here, I was just an ordinary soldier, Phil sighed as he looked at the ruined scene around him.
This is the place where he fought for the first time, and on this battlefield, Phil and the Heavenly Army tore apart, and the people who survived were lucky in themselves, and Phil was one of these lucky ones.
There are not many people left who fought with Aligus here now, and there are probably only a few dozen of them in this large legion, and maybe one day they will all die, and by that time there will really be no one who remembers what happened here.
"There must be no mistake in the task that the Lord has given us. "So I've remembered that we must not live up to that adult's expectations of us." ”
"Yes!" replied Phil and the demons in unison.
Yes, if it weren't for that lord, I would have died a long time ago, and if it hadn't been for Lord Aligus's help to me, I would have slept here like a skeleton.
Aligus remembered the situation: the order to retreat had been given, but they were faced with a constant stream of enemy troops, and it was impossible to retreat in such a situation, and if they took a step back, they would immediately be overtaken by the enemy.
Phil swung the blade in his hand, blood splattered, but he couldn't tell if it was his blood or the blood of his enemies. Eventually, exhausted, he sat on the ground and watched the enemy keep closing in on their remnants.
"Your ruler has forsaken you. Someone in the enemy army shouted, "You have no escape, surrender quickly!"
How could it be? Phil said to himself over and over again in his mind that they were lying, and that Lord Aligus would never abandon them, yes, absolutely impossible!
"I didn't expect you Heavenly Army to lie!" Augs laughed, "but the lies you are telling are impossible, because that Lord Kenben could not have done that." ”
"If you don't surrender, you're dead. The leading Heaven Army warrior shouted.
"Then let's fight for hell to the end!" Augs roared, "Come with me and enjoy this last battle!"
A dark shadow swept past Phil's eyes, and the chest of the leading Heaven Army warrior was pierced by a sharp claw in an instant, and Aligus turned to look at Phil with a smile.
"Very well done, my fighters. "Now let the angels take a good look, we are not the cowards they imagined!"
A celebratory roar echoed throughout the space, and Phil joined the shouting crowd, and for a moment he felt as if he was full of power, and then he rushed desperately towards the Heavenly Army in front of him.
Who would have thought that with the strength of these remnants of the defeated army, they would be able to repel the enemy, and Aligus immediately began to retreat with the rest of the people after the enemy retreated, and Phil happened to be standing right behind him.
"Your name is Phil, right?" said Aligus, turning to him suddenly.
"Yes, that's the name of the subordinate. Phil was shocked, he never thought that anyone would remember his name as a nobody.
"There's no need to be so surprised. "I remember the names of all my men, whether they were my commanders or the most ordinary soldiers. ”
"I never thought you'd remember my name, no, I guess that there's no such thing in other legions. ”
"Perhaps. "But you are all comrades who fought alongside me, and you all need to be remembered in my heart, and look around us, these are the only people we have to fight with." ”
Indeed, the number of people who followed Aligus now did not exceed a hundred, and most of them were wounded, so how many of them would survive to the end of this war?
"You probably think we've been defeated, Phil. Aligus suddenly smiled bitterly, "All of you are the same, if you don't feel like you want to fight anymore, you can leave the legion now, because I will fight for hell until the last moment." ”
"I'm not kidding, if you continue to stay with me, it is likely that the end will be death, I give you a choice now, everyone has helped me a lot, I don't blame everyone, only if you want to leave, I will definitely not stop you. ”
No one left.
"We're not leaving. "You could have fled alone, but you chose to come back and fight with us, and we are not cowards, and I vow to fight with you until the very end." ”
"Me too. Phil took a step forward, "Lord Aligus, you just said that we are comrades who fight side by side, so please let me continue the fight with you!"
"We're not leaving!" burst out.
"Okay then. Aligus smiled, "The next path we are going to take is towards death, but what is there to fear? ”
That's right, Lord Aligus is such a person, which is why we are willing to fight for him.
A figure appeared in front of Phil and them, looking at the demon that stood in his way, and the comer only let out a chuckle.
"Are you entangled?" Ye Xiang said with a smile, "It seems that there is no way to avoid this battle, I just hope it won't drag on for too long like just now." ”
"Just now?" Phil instantly grabbed the most crucial part of what Ye wanted to say, "Human, could it be that you have already fought with Augs?"
"He's a respectable opponent. Ye came up with the "dawn" behind him, "I can feel his will, and his will has not changed until the last moment." ”
"You killed Augs!" Phil felt a pang of grief in his heart, "bastard! I can't forgive you! Seeing that you are not dressed as the person we are targeting, in that case, let me avenge Augs!"
Phil rushed towards Ye Xiang with a long sword in his hand, and the demons under him also roared and attacked, but Ye Xiang did not show any fear, he smashed into the enemy formation like a storm.
In just a few minutes, the battle was decided. The demons under Phil have all fallen to the ground, almost all of them were killed with one blow, Ye Xiang's attack was very accurate and powerful, and although Phil had taken the fatal wound, but he was not lightly injured.
"Humans. Phil clenched the hilt of his sword, "I didn't expect you to be so strong! ”
"I did beat him. Ye Xiang looked at Phil and said, "And I also feel what he is carrying from you, you are not fighting for killing and destruction, but fighting for what you think is worth fighting." ”
"That's right. Phil condensed the chaotic energy in his body into a purple ball of light in his hand, "We are fighting for that adult, so we must not let you walk out of here alive!"
The ball of light in Phil's hand struck towards Ye Xiang, and the moment the ball of light was about to hit Ye Xiang's body, the pale blue flames formed a barrier to block the ball of light, and the ball of light exploded, and after the dust and smoke dissipated, Ye Xiang was still standing in front of Phil's eyes unharmed.
Isn't it okay? With that kind of attack, there is no way to hurt him, it seems that we are all underestimated, since this human can get all the way here, he must also be a very powerful existence among human beings.
But I won't let that lord down, Phil gritted his teeth, I will use my life to complete this mission, because I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for that lord.
"I didn't expect this to be the end of my life. Phil laughed as purple light burst out of his body.
"But it's not just me who will die today, you'll be buried here too, human!"
Ye Xiang immediately understood what the demon in front of him wanted to do, he didn't expect that as a demon, he would actually do such a thing, Ye Xiang almost didn't hesitate to turn around and leave as fast as possible.
"It's too late!" Phil let out one last roar, "here is all to be destroyed! for hell! for Lord Aligus!"
"Boom!" a huge explosion sounded, centered on Phil's body, and the spurting of chaotic energy destroyed everything around him. Although Ye Xiang was able to move away from the center of the explosion as quickly as he could after anticipating this in advance, he was still affected.
The ground under his feet was collapsing, and the speed of this collapse was much faster than the speed at which Ye Xiang ran, perhaps most of the fortress should be on the verge of destruction, but Ye Xiang had no time to think at all.
"Ahh
It won't last long. Ye Xiang's hand grasping the stone had already ground out blood, and he knew in his heart that it wouldn't last long, and the collapse of the fortress continued, maybe it wouldn't be long before everything he saw now would be gone.
Then let's give it a go, Ye Xiang glanced at the darkness under his feet, although he didn't know what would be down there, but it was like staying here and waiting for destruction to come.
"Okay, then come on. Ye Xiang adjusted his breathing, and then suddenly let go of the stone he was holding, and his body was quickly engulfed in darkness.
And just a few seconds later, the place where Ye Xiang was staying just now suddenly collapsed, and the gravel fell into the abyss like rain, and Ye Xiang's prediction just now came true.
"Looks like I'm really lucky. In the darkness, Ye Xiang leaned against the stone wall and said. "I didn't expect there to be a passage underground, this should be the maze in the fortress mentioned in the communication. ”
Ye Xiang groped his way through the darkness, and he was taken aback at first, because he didn't expect that he would encounter the secret passage so chancely, which can be said to be a very lucky thing.
"Then I hope this good fortune will always be with me, because there are many more dangerous things waiting for me in the future. Ye Xiang moved towards the depths of the passage with this roar.
