"Though my body is broken, though my blood is pouring out, though my time may be running out, the Immortal Emperor will come to visit me! Embrace me with His divine aura, and as long as I believe in Him, I will survive this painful time. ”

-- A prayer to alleviate suffering

The Fifth Army gained a foothold after a day and night of fighting, and was counterattacked by a demonic version of madness for the next day and night. According to statistics, there were about 3 waves of counteroffensives, and the number of demons attacking each time exceeded 18,000 - this number was already the limit for a group army with a strength of 50,000, not to mention that this group army was already scarred? The commander of the army, Lieutenant General Fren, was wounded, and the deputy commander of the army, Laga, disappeared during the counterattack, and it is said that he died in the flames of the enemy and was vaporized instantly.

Fortunately, the Sixth and Seventh Armies managed to meet behind enemy lines - it seemed that a day later, these demons who only knew how to kill found that their demon colleagues were getting fewer and fewer, and reinforcements were delayed. On the third day of the Second Battle of Mullen, the direction of the demon's main attack began to move rapidly in the direction of the Sixth and Seventh armies in the southeast. At this time, the Fifth Army had been completely disabled, the commander of the 12th Army was killed, the flag was destroyed, and the personnel were exhausted. The commander of the army, Fren, had to personally lead the soldiers of three broken regiments to fill the defense line of the 12th Army, which was about 5 kilometers long, and the headquarters of the army group was only less than five kilometers away from the enemy.

The next two days and nights were when the Sixth and Seventh armies supported each other back-to-back, resisting enemy reinforcements on the periphery and preventing the encircled enemy forces from breaking through. 150,000 men fought fiercely here, some regiments were wiped out at the moment of reinforcement, and some were enveloped in despair in the tunnels. When the battle becomes a bad battle, it shows the command of each fight, and the role that a regiment commander can play is no less than that of a group army commander at this moment, when the blood-red morning light in the distance comes with dawn. On the fifth day of the battle, Lieutenant General Glick, commander of the Sixth Army, delivered a morning speech at his trench headquarters through a psionic command device to boost morale. The middle-aged face and body are already slightly rich, but the face is tired and energetic. The military hat had been tossed aside, and his command had been killed and wounded by an attack that appeared to be from a terror due to his proximity to enemy troops. The Guards fought to save him alive - by comparison, not having a hand amputated is a blessing!

"Soldiers, the Empire's operational goals have been achieved! We have held our ground for four days and nights, and on the fifth day dawn has come, and we will hold out until noon. The first reinforcements arriving from the Western Front will replace us! The 100,000 demons in the encirclement network will be completely annihilated and will be wiped out!! ”

I don't know how many people will hear the commander's speech, or if they will be interested in hearing it—but this inspiring speech will not only be a slap in the face.

"The devil is coming!! - A lord of abusion!!! ”

There was a sudden stirring in the shattered front, and a newly researched giant battle mech, the Gundam, was torn apart. Because a new army of terrorists has appeared on the opposite side, the new army led by a demon lord intends to break through the defenders' positions in one go. And the rear command, which had satellite pictures, did not report this almost fatal new information.

Or rather...... No one is going to report this?

The Sixth Army's position suddenly became agitated, and many of them even screamed in despair until they were shot on the spot by the Overseers. When the battle resumed, some of the troops in the frontline trenches suddenly began to retreat, presumably killed or shot by the Overseers. The retreating force of about 100 men desperately destroyed the barbed wire fence behind them, and then all obstacles and craters evaded the pursuit of enemy psionic magic. The first line of defense began to shake the whole army, and it was the soldier form of the 229th Regiment that seemed to be in a state of despair.

Seem...... Will the front collapse?

"Knowledge is power! - Destroy the traitors! Attack the enemy! Curse the Legion, for death! ”

An order seems to fall from the sky, a force seems to appear out of thin air, and a decline is reversed!

This army is generally over two and a half meters tall and looks like a Space Marine in black mobile armor. But the black mechs are adorned with flames and bones, somewhat like Chaos Warriors. No registered examples can be found in any of the known warbands in the Empire, but they did turn on the demons after shooting all the deserters.

An eerie glow permeated the black armor, ghostly green glow dancing at their feet—it was hard to imagine why an army of thousands of men could charge an army of tens of thousands of terrorists with such ease. The flames fired from the Storm Gun easily burned one enemy after another that was only a little sparked.

In a few moments, the entire defense line frantically for the arrival of this army, and within ten minutes the tide of battle was reversed. Within an hour the enemy army was routed and defeated - but the mysterious new army did not hold back. Continue the pursuit - until all the enemies who come to attack are destroyed.

The midday sun shone on the polluted land, and the roar and footsteps of the vibrating earth were heard again in the distance, and the defensive line was nervous in the face of all possible things. When they found out that it was the newly arrived reinforcements, they couldn't help but cry and tears rippled.

However...... What exactly is that mysterious force?

――――――――――――

"In all the legends of the Empire. One of the most unusual is the Legion of Curses. For those who know how to find the truth, there is plenty of indelible evidence of these ghostly warriors who suddenly appeared in the most desperate battles, only to mysteriously disappear after the battle was over. ”

The Second Battle of Maren ended in victory, with at least 150,000 demons consumed and the Emperor paying the price of nearly 80,000 - but it was an unprecedented victory for the planet. The casualties of the first emperor were actually smaller than those of the demons - it is undeniable that this was also caused by many reasons, but in the end, the strength of a mysterious force was noticed by Levi.

Of course, this mysterious unit also came to the door. When all this happens...... Levi was in pain learning everything there was to know about psionic powers.

This pain is not the first pain, but the extreme abuse of the spirit - I am half an intellectual. You can't abuse me with such inhumane nonsense? (To be continued.) )
