Just when the palace front was perfecting and stabilizing as quickly as possible, inside the imperial capital

The deafening sound of magical bombardment continued to resound through the neighborhood, shaking the buildings to tremble, and the strange brilliance produced by the collision and entanglement of humans, beasts, and various spells changed into mottled light and shadow in the streets and alleys under the illumination of luminous beads all over the sky

"Listen, this is an urgent order that just came down"

Xiao Lan, the leader of the Tianquan Legion, said lightly and clearly to the ten squad members gathered in front of him in an ordinary streetside house

"The original ambush and blocking mission of our squad was cancelled, and the whole team moved to the combat position of 3396 points in the 11th district on the east side to support the relevant squad of the 9th squadron operating in that position."

"Due to being on the main route of the Orc Army's attack, the main force of the 9th Squadron is extremely overloaded and cannot provide any cover for our transfer, and because of the urgency of the situation, we have to pass through the secondary offensive line of the Orc Army from Area 10, so the operation is very dangerous"

"Do you hear me? The last ten seconds to prepare."

"Understand the supreme power of heaven, you will win every battle," the team members shouted in unison

"Every battle must be won" Xiao Lan also replied with a firm slogan

Seconds pass, and the action begins

Led by Xiao Lan, the Tianquan team rushed out of the private houses and galloped along the street towards the target location

In the sky, from time to time, the long-distance and wide-range bombing magic flew over both sides, hitting a high-rise building or flying far away, and the sound of various roaring explosions swept over without stopping, and among all kinds of noise, the roar and roar became clearer and clearer as the team moved

"Captain, there is a strong wave energy reaction two hundred meters ahead," a wind magic sergeant who was running in the middle of the team and was in charge of perceiving vigilance warned in time

"The direction remains the same, continue to move," Xiao Lan said

The Tianquan team did not dodge, and continued to gallop along the street, and when they turned the corner, they saw their colleagues wearing the same Tianquan military robes as them were leaning on a relatively solid stone building and fighting with hundreds of orc troops

"The whole team listens to the order, prepares to break through the enemy formation, and the Tianquan Demon Network link begins"

Xiao Lan, who was the leader, did not sprint, waved his hand and raised the silver staff in his hand, his indifferent eyes flashed with a strange white light in an instant, and became completely empty

The team members who followed him also raised their staffs in unison, chanting an ethereal spell like a ballad in a low voice, their expressions became dazed, and a mysterious magic array in the form of a pentagram appeared under their feet

Magic power delivery, wave resonance, network forming

"Heavenly Power Demon Condensation"

Xiao Lan, who was the leader, had empty eyes, but he maintained a sober and rational mind, as an individual with a concentrated network resonance in the team, he received the surging collective power from the Demon Net Star Array under his feet, and his whole body bloomed with silver-white brilliance, greatly improving his ability to use magic

After that, a staff stabbed out and aimed at the hundreds of orc armies in front of them who were engaged with friendly forces

"Celestial Critical Strike"

With a flash of the tip of the staff, it suddenly erupted with a blazing green light, and a powerful storm of double spirals swept into the surrounding void, blasting into the orc's formation with unstoppable power...... rumble

As if a huge tornado suddenly formed on the flat ground, hundreds of beasts were instantly broken through their defenses, swept into the sky, and shattered into slag in the chaotic green storm, only a few of the stronger ones could barely protect their bodies, crashing miserably into the buildings on the side of the street or flying far away

As soon as the formation was broken, Xiao Lan's eyes immediately returned to clarity, the brilliance on his body and the star array under his feet disappeared, and the team members behind him quickly returned to normal, and the entire team kept crossing the battlefield without even saying a word to the friendly troops who had just helped

The task is urgent, and action is a priority

Xiao Lan's team crossed the battlefield in this way, and during this period, they encountered several orc troops, but they all forcibly broke through, paid the price of the sacrifice of two team members, and finally arrived at the target position

The situation was even more tragic than they had imagined

The two 9th squadrons relied on the terrain of the street to fight fiercely against the persecuting orc army, and the color of blood stained the entire street, and the corpses of human sergeants and orc warriors were scattered all over the place

"Join the Fight"

After Xiao Lan's team joined up with the friendly forces, as the captain, he only said one sentence, and as he spoke, several beast magic crossbow arrows almost clinged to his body, and slammed into the walls of the houses behind him

"Magic Web"

When reinforcements arrived, a squad leader who was bombing the enemy camp shouted with red eyes, Xiao Lan and the others understood, chanting a spell to transfer the magic resonance to his body

"Celestial Dragon Thunderfall"

After concentrating the magic power of the team, the team leader soared into the air, and countless lightning brilliance bloomed around him, entangled and fused with the staff and himself as the center to form a thunder dragon with a sky-swooping posture, and pounced towards the enemy formation with teeth and claws

With a tooth-aching and extremely violent crackling sound, the thunder dragon blasted into the beast clan's array with a soaring electric light, like countless purple snakes dancing wildly, turning at least two or three hundred orc warriors into charred ashes, and a third of the street and a piece of civilian houses were destroyed to the point that they were not in shape

And the price is that the squad leader no longer exists in the world

Xiao Lan is very calm, whether it is the sacrifice of his own teammates or the heroism of his comrades, he is still calm, because he believes that as a soldier, he must always maintain this state, and he must not be impulsive or lose his mind at any time, otherwise there will only be a big sacrifice

The orc army was broken, but soon, many orc warriors arrived, regrouped, and attacked again

"Bastards, these brutes are like bugs, you can't kill them all," the other squad leader who was still alive roared, turning his head to look at Xiao Lan

"I came here about twenty minutes to support, and the few squads that started to stay here have all been killed......"

"I know, I can see it," Xiao Lan replied lightly

"You're calm now, but in a few minutes you're not, heh, we're all going to die here" The squad leader looked at the other side again, and raised his staff to cast another spell, "Brother, my Matthew Laika, what about you?"

"Xiao Lan Wind and Frost"

"Strange name...... Ha, forget it, Xiao Lan, if you're lucky enough not to die here, help me find a woman named Alan Rino in the future, with brown hair and big boobs, and tell her that I've always loved her Matthew."

Said the youth squad leader for Matthew

"Say it yourself," Xiao Lan unceremoniously refused

"Hey, don't be so unkind."

Boom...... Before the words fell, several powerful arrows slammed into the position where the two were hiding, blowing up a piece of broken bricks and dirt

The two of them instinctively looked in the direction of the arrow, and through the misty dust, they saw a large figure in the sky flapping various wings and feathers approaching

"The Orc's Air Force...... No...... They've broken through our air defenses......" Matthew groaned

Xiao Lan's face also became a little ugly, but he didn't complain, just silently held the staff horizontally, and then rushed out at the right time, aiming at the sky and firing spells......

......

............

colleagues, one by one, fell

The orcs are still coming up in groups

Xiao Lan either cast magic or fought hand-to-hand, active in the front line of blocking the beast clan, destroying the enemy's strong attacks again and again, and being forced back by the enemy again and again

The body and face were already red with blood, and sweat and dust were mixed and stuck to the skin layer by layer

The ears were ringing, the eyes were gradually blurring, the hands and feet began to be a little disobedient, and even the staff in the hand became very heavy, and the magic power in the body was squeezed to the limit

It's not that no reinforcements have arrived, it's just that the number of human sergeants has always been stretched at the limit, and with a small few dozen people, facing the orc warriors who never seem to be exhausted

Xiao Lan knew that this was not a lack of mobilization from above, on the contrary, the top had done its best to add reinforcements to this position, and when the main team was under great pressure, the top also allocated three large-scale magic net link support for this position

If it weren't for the support of the magic net from the main team, which forcibly repelled the beast clan's onslaught again and again, and replenished the magic power for the blockers present, then perhaps, Xiao Lan and the other tenacious sergeants would have all fallen long ago

Why is the boss paying so much attention to this position?

Xiao Lan thought about it, but he didn't know, he could just speculate that this position had great significance to the top, and the beast clan seemed to be aware of this, but he couldn't determine it, so he didn't invest in overwhelming offensive combat power

From this point of view, the battlefield command that not only kept this place, but was also very careful not to attract the fierce attack of the beasts, was really exquisite to the extreme, and it was simply artistically balanced

This kind of exquisite, balanced, cautious and dangerous command art that can just get stuck at one point is really not like what can be found in the emperor, at least in Xiao Lan's impression, no legion in the empire has such a talented battlefield commander

Who's in command, and what is his purpose?

A deafening roar interrupted Xiao Lan's fragmentary thoughts, which were unconsciously distracted by his disorganized consciousness, and the orcs charged again, and there was no longer a colleague standing beside him

All the members of his squad have been killed

"Who...... Who else, give it to me...... Magic Web"

He yelled at the rear, maybe there were other living sergeants who could echo him, maybe not, this time, it was his last counter-charge

"Drink...... Roar, roar

Carrying the only remaining magic power, Xiao Lan stepped out in one step, raised his staff, and prepared to make the final blow

But at this moment, with the sound of a wind tearing through the void, an extremely fiery aura suddenly swept through the sky

Xiao Lan saw that the expression on the face of a beast sergeant charging from the opposite side suddenly froze, and then revealed a trace of fear of death

In the next second, the bright red that rushed into the sky burst out, devouring the orc sergeant and the entire charging orc team

flame

It was surging and surging, like a bewitching flame burning from the depths of hell

"Caught up with ......"

An unfamiliar voice behind him

"Thank you for holding on here for so long, O warrior of the Emperor, your mission is accomplished"

Xiao Lan turned around when she heard this, and what she saw was one, ten, hundreds, strange magicians in bright red robes, walking towards him, and everyone had a grateful, appreciative, and somewhat apologetic expression on their faces

"We have the highest respect for you...... In the name of Commander Yas, in the name of the Phoenix Army"

The Phoenix Army?

Xiao Lan looked dazed, not understanding what the situation was

The scarlet-robed magicians walked, walked, and then rushed up in unison, listing their staffs in unison, rushing past his side, firing at the orcs

Later, a beautiful red-robed female sergeant walked up to the Tianquan squad leader who was standing still

"Peace of mind, we ...... Will pick you up and take you home."

The female sergeant opened her arms, exhausted to the limit, and finally closed her eyes, and Xiao Lan, who had fallen unconscious, in her arms
