Section 19: The Demon Army

[In the name of the general, we marched. 】

[In the name of Human City, we march. 】

[In the name of human civilization, we march. 】

We are fire, we are sword. We will reclaim the land that can be cultivated in the sun for humanity. 】

If the world has turned into hell, then we are the flames that burn hell. 】

[We are, Hellfire Legion!] 】

War begins the moment both sides perceive each other. When Captain Duan Rui led his C-73 Hellfire Reconnaissance Company to the vicinity of the old Xianyang, the detection system on the armor simultaneously fed back a large-scale life signal cluster and the movements of multiple true demon-level ghosts, and what followed was a fiery and undisguised hostility.

The battle formation suddenly unfolded, and the next moment, it was a rain of spiritual arrows swarming from more than ten kilometers away. It was a dense spiritual strike with a total of more than 100,000, and the destructive power of a single body was all at the power level of the Stinger missile.

- A high-level ghost of the real devil, there is no need to dodge.

- Unfold the group shield, the assault platoon follows me, and the others maintain the shield, and do not use long-range fire for the time being, so as not to accidentally injure civilians. The communication team immediately reported the matter here to the Human City.

Duan Rui ran. The earth vibrated beneath his feet, and dozens of silent figures followed him. The barrier of wind tore in front of him, and a continuous rain of arrows exploded on the protective wall of the group that suddenly spread above him, bursting into large ripples.

This shouldn't be a difficult battle - a high-level ghost of the True Demon Level, he had already killed more than a dozen bodies with his own hands before this. He didn't use it as a bargaining chip for pride, because he knew it all came from the power of his Hellfire armor. As the first living person in Human City to meet the general, he thought that he should have a better record.

Be calm. Be wise. It should be decisive. It should be firm.

Even if something terrible happens right in front of you, you should-

'Boom——! Explosion, blazing breath exploded, and a dark halberd pierced the weak layer of the group's shield and nearly hit the elite soldiers at the front of the assault platoon. However, Duan Rui just raised his hand, and the Hellfire Heavy Sword equipped by the legion accurately blocked the incoming object, and the blocked halberd immediately disintegrated into a splash of pure energy, while the legion's company commander was still advancing rapidly.

- Halberd, no sharp edges. Styles from the Warring States period...... Xianyang is a fantasy place related to Qin. This time, the ghost is the type of ancient military generals and military formations.

- These goblins may have a complete formation, and may need to use a pull to break their line to minimize damage. So......

The smoke dissipated ahead.

The last mountain to obscure the view was climbed, followed by a scene of slaughter stained red with fire and blood. Hundreds of tall, black-clad ghostly soldiers were slashing around a group of survivors. Their defenses had just been breached, and a great deal of death had befallen them.

He saw Changge pick people up, and the living struggled to explode into a crimson mist under the infusion of energy.

He saw the woman holding the baby crying and retreating, the long knife fell, and the mother and child were broken into splinters and split to the sides. He saw the men who fought hard and rushed towards with guns and roars, but the next moment only half of his body was left.

Humanity is being slaughtered.

Their own kind are being slaughtered.

They resisted very hard, they struggled very hard. But it was crushed by absolutely powerful force. The sound of the guns was barely visible at this moment, and the resistance was almost dead and wounded, with only a few seconds of life left at most.

Duan Rui saw it—an ancient military general who was nearly five meters tall and rode a dark war horse. Beside it were a few other goblin generals with slightly weaker breath holding longbows. And beneath their feet, a mass of pure spiritual essence mixed with the residue of obsession is being devoured and absorbed.

- Ah......

The vision turned crimson for a moment. Many of the previous complicated thoughts were thrown away in an instant. He heard the continuous, heavy breathing from the internal communication network. And it all points to the same emotion.

Kill.

The jetpack behind the armor burst into flames, the Hellfire, giving him an extremely powerful propulsion ability.

His sword was raised high, and his voice was like thunder.

"In the name of the general, cleanse the unclean!"

'Boom——!! The survivors turned their heads in amazement, and they saw the dark stars speeding towards them from the horizon. The extremely strong killing intent even caused a wide range of air condensation. Even those ghost soldiers who were killing on a large scale had their movements frozen a little!

The impact is then generated. The ground was knocked away by the dark star, but the shock vibrations eerily did not reach the vulnerable civilians. The huge wind pressure expelled all the thick dust and mist in an instant. And then came the death of the ghosts who were unimaginably powerful in the last moment!

A suffocating aura field suddenly unfolded, this is the ability of a true demon-level ghost to cut the enemy and strengthen himself. However, the dark star that rushed to the front broke through it without delay, and the pitch-black heavy sword wrapped in golden thunder light suddenly raised.

The first blow cuts off the horse's head.

The second blow hits the Goblin General's halberd.

Darkstar's comrades swarmed in, and in the blink of an eye, the Goblin General's lieutenant was dead and wounded. Another black sword stabbed through the Goblin General's waist and into its body.

Death has found it. Its little wisdom makes it howl in pain. The sound was so pleasant, and the next moment, the dark star that arrived first severed its neck with the heavy sword in its hand.

It stopped making a sound—its head crumbled and cracked in the golden thunder. And its stump was slashed by seven jet-black heavy swords at the same moment. In just an instant, it disintegrated and disintegrated into a storm of energy mixed with the black qi of sin, and the remaining residue of obsession was sharply solidified into a bronze vessel.

The ghost will be dead.

Its death has been proven.

Most of the remaining goblin soldiers were killed or wounded at this moment, and the remnants fled due to demoralization and hierarchical suppression. And the next moment, they will die more quickly.

They should rejoice that the act of torturing ghosts is pointless.

They are out of the area where they could cause accidental injury.

Dozens of faint green etched tracks connected to their bodies—the remnants of plasma escaping from the atmosphere. And even if the plasma weapon's True Kill Mode is not activated, its own destructive power is enough to take away ghosts below the True Demon level with a single blow.

The goblin soldiers were all dead in an instant.

None of the survivors who could breathe, however, were able to let out a cheer of celebration as the heat wave that haunted the dark star's body and was generated by the high-speed movement gradually dispersed. And the true face revealed inside made the remnants feel even more frightened.

In this era, the most goblin kills are from another group of goblins from other factions. And the dark star group's true face that has faded from its disguise is terrifying and hideous among the ghosts.

Pitch-black armor, huge body.

The dark and heavy giant sword, the lingering murderous aura.

and the protective mask that seemed to come from behind with the sound of heavy breathing, twisted and hideous like a demon.

The demon seemed to be about to make a sound.

The dark star at the foreground seemed to be about to say something.

There's a 1 in 1000 million chance that they're not another powerful goblin. It's a much more powerful, perhaps more elite human force than the pre-war World Government Army. But it is more likely that they only bring deeper despair.

This is a coincidence, a misunderstanding.

This misunderstanding can be resolved in just one step, and that is when the leader of the Dark Star takes off its mask. Or...... The war cry it uttered from several kilometers away was audible.

However, the reason why a coincidence is a coincidence is that there is some uncertainty about the future of everything. When the fear and trembling of the human beings here have reached the extreme, but there is still a small glimmer of hope. It satisfies a certain condition, a certain possibility.

An extremely demanding prayer was activated. And the next moment, in the depths of the spatial structure, where the torch of the human city could not shine. A huge force was activated.

'Click-' space, exploding as it cracked.

The legions of Hellfire raised their weapons in vigilance. And the next moment, a huge portal opened in front of the reconnaissance company's eyes. Out of it poured out of it was a black and blazing fire!

Large, hideous forms emerge from within, and they have a well-known appearance and name.

Demon!
