"Abandon the baggage, the whole army retreats!"

Tirtz was the captain of the Salvation Army's 3rd Transport, overseeing the supply lines between Nibislav, the grain-producing region, and the front line.

Originally, this mission was very safe, after all, the transportation and supply lines were behind Stein City, and no enemy would bypass Stein City, the human base camp, to attack the supply lines.

However, since a few days ago, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and three supply convoys in a row have been attacked by the enemy, and not even a single grain has been delivered to Stein.

For this reason, Stein sent a special aid force, and this time he had to personally escort the military rations.

However, there was an accident on the way.

"A big demon, three hundred-eyed giants, and so many kobolds......"

While giving the order to retreat, Tertz scolded with a disgraced face: "The thousand men sent by Stein are completely useless!" Having said that, knowing that it was this kind of strategic-level monster that attacked the supply line, why the support force was just an ordinary army, it didn't play a role at all! ”

But fortunately, as long as he can escape, the current situation is not the worst - the space equipment in this world is very rare, but it is not impossible, and a person like Tirtz who has a heavy responsibility, Stein can still allocate a few pieces of space equipment for him.

Therefore, even if all the baggage of the convoy would be discarded here, as long as he could reach Stein safely, the transport mission would barely be considered a success.

…… It was supposed to be like this.

"Hmm, how can this be ......?"

But it was clear that a retreat had been carried out in batches like a rehearsal. The mightiest of the attackers was staring at him like maggots on tarsal bones.

"Sir, you can run away alone, let's hold it down!"

Seeing that the other side was getting closer and closer, Tirtz's adjutant himself put forward a proposal that was almost self-defeating, and his personal guards also agreed.

"Don't say stupid things! Even if you rush together, you can't be a match for that guy...... Maybe you can provoke it and die faster! Tirtz kicked his mount in the stomach with both legs, trying to make it go faster, but that effort didn't seem to have much effect.

The Great Demon is a very powerful individual among the Abyssal Demons, and it is conservatively estimated that it also has the combat power equivalent to the level of a new Grand Magi, although the human strength in the mythological era is generally high, but the lieutenants and personal guards of Tirtz only have the strength of high-level mages at most.

If you are well prepared, it is not without the strength to fight with the advantage of numbers. But now this kind of haste is not to mention that it can defeat the other party. Even saving one's own life is an extravagant hope.

What's more, the big demon was obviously like a cat teasing its prey, and it was clear that it could catch up with them in an instant, but it was just following behind, slowly approaching. Create psychological pressure on them. And take pleasure in watching them panic.

The big demons who can do this kind of thing are usually guys who are quite confident in their own strength.

"As long as it can buy you time to hide......" The adjutant didn't give up. Or trying to convince Tirtz.

But at this juncture, the Great Demon seemed to have lost interest in continuing to play with them, opening the pair that was obviously full of loopholes. But the demon's wings, which could still allow it to fly freely in the sky, approached them with a meteor-like gliding motion!

"There's no time to hesitate, run, sir!"

The adjutant roared, and he had already taken out his magic guide and released several mana burns towards the big demon that was rushing in, but they were all flashed by the other party.

The guards also drew their wands and swords, ready for battle.

In the next instant, this imposing team was hit by a near-total annihilation.

The Great Demon just swept over their heads, and half of the guards had half of their skulls removed, and they fell from their mounts with a scream, their brains scattered all over the ground.

It was only in an instant that the air currents brought up by the Great Demon attacked, dragging several knights who had not been able to sit still because of dodging attacks off their mounts, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled into pulp by those mounts who were still running at high speed!

And the adjutant was directly grabbed by the big demon and dragged into the sky, and at a height of dozens of meters, he was torn in half by the big demon from his waist, and the internal organs of the large intestine fell from the sky scattered with salty and warm blood.

Escaping the disaster, Tertz desperately suppressed his desire to vomit, desperately urging his mount to escape.

But the Great Demon smirked again and threw himself at him from the sky!

"No...... Can't escape! ”

Tirtz's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he could even feel the chill coming from behind.

"Am I going to die here?"

Maybe in the next moment, he will be completely pierced by the demon's bone spurs, right?

Just as goosebumps stood up all over his body, a dull sound sounded behind him.

This made Tertz subconsciously turn his head.

I saw a young man wearing knight's heavy armor and holding a flame-shaped sword in his hand rushing out of the side with an angry face, and knocked the big demon out horizontally.

The unprepared Great Demon bounced two or three times on the ground like a pebble for drifting, and finally slammed into the transport carriage, leaving a winged humanoid crater in the wooden wall of the carriage before stopping.

"You're ......" Tirtz always felt that the other party seemed familiar, but suddenly he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"I'm just a passing mercenary."

The other party thought about it for a moment, and then said firmly.

Who would be so strong as a mercenary! Tirtz complained in his heart.

Just as Tertz wanted to say something and ease the atmosphere, the carriage where the archdemon was was torn in half by a force, and the flour inside floated out like a smoke screen, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

"That guy isn't dead yet!" Tirtz called out in surprise.

"Of course? It's better to say that if you take me and get killed, how can you become a big demon? ”

The young man held the flame-shaped sword and assumed a fighting posture.

"Hey, it's just you, move faster!" Not far away, a young and immature-sounding voice came.

That's all there is left? Tertz looked up a little dazed, and found that the three hundred-eyed giants had all been brought down...... One head was stuck with arrows, one appeared to have been split in half lengthwise, and the other appeared to have been beaten to death, covered in purple bruises.

In this way, not counting those kobolds with extremely weak combat effectiveness, the only enemy left in front of them was the archdemon in front of them.

"Rest assured, in these days of dawn, I have also become stronger. Watch me deal with this demon in the shortest amount of time! The young man dragged the flame-shaped sword upside down, and a dark blue flame began to emerge from the blade: "Defeat it for me, the fire of infamy!" (To be continued......)
