Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 121 Fighting side by side
Premo looked at his father who had fallen to the ground in the distance, and his heart was grief-stricken, but he couldn't rush over and retrieve his father's body.
Charles, who was on the side, hurriedly persuaded him not to patronize his sadness, and to think about what to do next.
When Zelens unleashed a powerful sword technique, and then his body was counterattacked, Charles understood that he was trying to take a desperate gamble.
As a result, Zelens died, but the demon commander was unscathed, and now, anyone can see that they can only face the demon king himself.
Charles watched from afar as the Demon King approached them, and even from a distance of a few hundred meters, he could feel the pressure of the approaching manpower, which was almost breathless.
Despite this, he can't retreat, although his character is not very good, and he usually has a cowardly attitude, but at least he has the honor of being a knight.
Zelens did not hesitate to exhaust his life in order to save them, and what about him? I have been a knight for so many years, but I have not achieved anything.
So at this moment, he must fight for Baifeng Town, for the people behind him, even if he sacrifices himself.
In the face of the pressure of the demon king, Charles not only did not retreat, but stepped forward with his head held high.
Behind him were the thousands of soldiers who remained, and in such a battle any tactics would be futile, so he immediately ordered everyone to withdraw to the town, and if necessary, abandon it with the populace.
However, most of the soldiers stood still, because such an order was an insult to them.
Charles was in a quandary, not knowing how to persuade them, until Primo managed to calm down and then spoke to them bitterly.
"Soldiers, we are facing a terrifying demon king, even the legendary paladin Zelens has no power to parry, and we are unlikely to have a chance of winning, so now is not the time to be reckless, we must preserve the strength of the human race, from now on, this White Peak Town is the first line of defense of the human race, and your retreat is definitely not a shame, but for the ultimate survival of the human race."
"What about you? And Chief Charles, will you all retreat together? A soldier said suddenly.
Primo glanced at Charles and replied.
"I'll stay here and stall for you."
"Huh?" Charles felt inexplicable, "What stupid things are you talking about, don't you still have to make contributions?" It would be a shame to die here, you should go with them and let me stay. ”
"Haha, what a good brother," Primo laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm glad to be fighting alongside someone like you, but I'm the last person to leave here, because my father is still lying there, and I must take his body back as my last unworthy son of honor." ”
"This ...... All right. ”
Charles saw that he said this, and it would be too uninteresting to continue to persuade him, so he nodded and decided to fight alongside Primo.
Next, all the soldiers did not stay any longer, they quickly withdrew to Baifeng Town, and were ready to abandon the city and flee at any time.
In a short time, there were only two lonely and small figures left on the huge battlefield, but those soldiers who looked back at them found that there were two great souls standing here, and they silently remembered this scene in their hearts, and decided to continue to sing it.
……
Nova approached the humans slowly, not in a hurry, but rather to see what the humans would do in such a desperate moment.
The result was somewhat unexpected, he thought that these people would immediately collapse the army, but he did not expect them to retreat in an orderly manner, and then leave the two commanders behind.
This is completely unreasonable tactically, because even if they know that they can't beat it, they should keep the commander at all costs, so that they can have a chance to make a comeback, but these humans do the opposite.
Nova fell into self-doubt again, and the same was true when he faced Zelens just now, he suddenly found that more than a thousand years of experience seemed to be skewed, and human beings are not completely useless beings, although most of them are only driven by profit, but there are also noble people.
However, a voice in his heart kept telling him that human beings are all pests, and if they are allowed to develop, they will one day destroy the world, and he must stop human beings from continuing to do evil, which is the meaning of his existence.
The more he fell into confusion, the louder the voice distracted him, and when he gave up his distractions, believing that human beings should not exist, his ears finally gained peace.
So, he no longer hesitated, and soon came to Premo and Charles.
"Hehe, were you two abandoned by those people?" Nova sneered casually, "It's pitiful, but the door of our demons is always open for brave and noble people like you. ”
"Tsk, put away your set, ugly monster." Premo couldn't help but choke.
Charles also looked disgusted, but then smiled.
"Noble? It's a compliment, but it's a pity that I'm just an unreliable little person. ”
Their attitude was obvious, Nova couldn't help but sigh, and finally compromised, "Alas, I thought you were smart people, and it's a pity, so I had to ask you to die." ”
As he spoke, he threw the black flame condensed in his hand at them, this flame could be eternal as long as there was a continuous supply of magic power, but there was no threat when thrown casually.
The two of them easily dodged, and then both raised their swords and unleashed their sword skills at him, and Nova was not at all stunned, but stood still and prepared to meet their attack.
In the next moment, countless translucent swords stabbed his body, stabbing him like a hedgehog, and Charles's sword pierced directly through him, and with a burst of numbness, he suddenly felt that his whole body could not move.
Seeing that the Demon King had lost his ability to resist, Premo used his second sword technique, slashing his body in two with a transformed giant sword.
However, there was no bleeding in the neat cross-section, and the broken part immediately protruded from countless filaments, connected to each other, and in a short time it returned to a full body.
The two of them were stunned directly, but Charles reacted quickly, if it weren't for this trait, he wouldn't have survived Zelens's sword skills.
After a few seconds, as the feeling of weakness in his body wore off, Nova attacked unhurriedly, opening his mouth slightly, exhaling a burst of black mist.
The shrouded duo quickly covered their mouths and noses and retreated until they were out of the range of the black mist, however, Nova suddenly appeared behind them like a ghost.
Two flames formed in both hands, intending to smash them from behind, but after Charles changed into light armor, he became very agile, pushing away Primo and dodging himself perfectly.
But Nova still had a back hand, and after the pitch-black flames collided with the black mist, there was a violent explosion, and the shockwave generated knocked the two to the ground at once.
They were shaken out of their internal injuries and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, but that wasn't the end of it, and Nova continued to attack.
This time, he stretched out his hand directly to the sky, and then, a black thing appeared in the clouds, which was almost obscuring the sky.
Charles looked up and was shocked because it was a black sun.
Although this is not the case at all, in the eyes of human beings, what completely obscures even the brilliance of the sun can only be described as a black sun.
Primo also showed a look of despair, as long as the Demon King had this move, it would be impossible for humans to win, because in the face of absolute strength, any tactics were meaningless.
"I'll ask you one last time," Nova said with a gloomy face, "if you'd like to join the demons so that you can survive, along with the people you are protecting." ”
Primo was really a little moved when he heard him say this, but he was not for himself, but for the people of Baifeng Town.
Of course, not only him, but even Charles fell into hesitation, he thought that as a regimental commander, he had never done anything for the people, if he sacrificed his chivalry at this time, he could exchange for the survival of tens of thousands of people, why wouldn't he do it?
But the premise is that this demon king will really fulfill his promise, there is no doubt that this is simply a fantasy, and they have finally chosen the path of destruction.
“…… Is it? Then there is no way," Nova finally gave up, closed his eyes, could not bear to see these two noble men die, and then whispered, "Sorry, along with your fellow citizens, perish!" ”
His hand swung down heavily, and the behemoth above the clouds quickly fell, closing in on the ground, accompanied by increasing scorching heat.
Seeing that he was about to destroy all the living creatures around him, a voice interrupted him at the last moment.
"Wait a minute!" Primo suddenly shouted.
Nova immediately stopped the fall of the black sun, and then opened his eyes.
"What? Changed your mind? ”
"I ......," said Primo, who fell to his knees and said solemnly, "I choose to be loyal to you, and I ask you to spare the others." ”
"Hey, you idiot!" Charles was instantly furious and grabbed him by the collar, "Do you think the demons will keep their promises?" Don't be stupid, these guys want humanity to be destroyed. ”
Primo casually broke free of him, and then said in a perk-hearted voice.
"Charles, don't you understand? If the Demon King wanted to kill us, he would have done it a long time ago, so why bother like this, if you know the times, join the Demon Clan, so that we can all survive. ”
"Phew! Damned traitor, I'll kill you first! Charles immediately unleashed his sword skills and vowed to wipe out Primo on the spot.
Of course, since Primo had surrendered to the demons, Nova naturally wouldn't let this happen, so he teleported behind Charles and struck him with a knife.
The strength of this blow was not great, because he saw Charles's various behaviors and admired him more and more, so he intended to turn him into a member of the demon race.
However, it was precisely because he didn't exert much strength and his movements were a little sluggish that this blow was actually dodged by Charles.
Now, Nova lost his patience and decided to make a ruthless move, so he teleported in front of him again and pushed his knee against his abdomen.
The result was the same, Charles reacted extremely quickly and dodged the attack again.
Nova couldn't help but frown, and at this moment, Primo somehow touched his back.
Before he could continue to attack Charles, Premo's second sword technique was aimed directly at his heart, and in the next second, the giant sword directly flew Nova into the air, and his body was instantly poked out of a large hole by the tip of the sword.
Nova didn't expect this at all, and before he could react, Charles smiled at the success of his plan, and then used his third sword technique to paralyze his body again.
The extremely strong self-healing ability immediately began to repair the wound, but the greatsword was kept in the middle, so that the filaments could not be connected, and Nova was unable to use his strength for a while.
However, in the face of this sudden betrayal, he did not panic in the slightest, but used his last strength, rolled his eyes, and glanced at the sky.
Immediately after that, the black sun continued to fall.
