The torch on the tower is still burning.

The light equivalent of the 'Valianism' of the Vast Universe still shone on this vast city-state.

If the demon king has a domain, then the light of this torch can be regarded as Jiang Yu's domain. And by the light of the torch, the king did not see the king.

The attacking demon kings have all been struck, and they have all become food for the human city. And the iron feet of the human city have crossed the bering strait and landed on the frozen wasteland of Alaska.

Food is being transformed into power in a dramatic way.

In the frozen soil of Alaska, the torch fire no longer senses the presence of life. And when Jiang Yu held the thunder spear in his hand and reciprocated with the will to attack with the strong hostility from the other side of the earth, instead of the previous conservative defense, the Heavenly Court Fantasy Land, which was preying on the Fantasy Land of Atlantis, also responded to him with the same scale of will.

The sky was blown open like foam in a bathtub, the atmosphere was pale, and the stars of the night were revealed over the day. The intense killing intent from the other side continued to impact the Torch Realm, and even a slight curse will penetrated the light shield and sprinkled on the inhabitants of the Human City in the Torch Realm.

They are not Jiang Yu's companions.

His companions weren't here, they weren't like his companions to be trusted and relied on—they were his people, his extensions, the ones he needed to protect and carry them on. And they weren't his companions, and he wouldn't expect them to fight alongside him and set foot on the battlefield he went to.

Even if they fended off these small dregs of hostility, even if they showed their desire to fight in the realm of the torch—the fanatical will to resist boiled in the crowd, and even before he could give the order, the inhabitants of Human City clenched their weapons and watched the far south.

But so what?

How much of this fighting spirit, this courage, comes from the torch on the tower, and how much comes from their own hearts? If the flame is extinguished at this moment, if they have to go beyond the realm to face the power of the Heavenly Court. So, how many of them will be knocked down by fear, and how many will only add to the disappointment?

Jiang Yu wasn't sure, and he didn't plan to test the conjectures and possibilities.

He knew that the humans of this world had the courage to confront the pantheistic fantasy lands of their heyday, and to knock down most of them. But he also knows that people who have courage are always in the minority, and that human beings struggle to survive and not to die.

The risk is too great for them to count on.

Jiang Yu got up from the throne, and now he was able to leave this tower that stabilized the human city for a short time. His will was rapidly shaped on the gun in his hand, and the amorphous thunder gun was gradually carved into a stable shape.

The Gun of Cut?

Well, that seems like a good name. But until now, this gun has not been able to afford the weight that the name should have.

Just like the giant city at his feet, it may never have been able to bear the name of Human City.

"General, what should we do?" The two men did not leave from the tower, but looked at him eagerly. There was war intent in their eyes, and they wanted to join the battlefield that was about to break out next—the fiercest one.

Jiang Yu's mind still had the gaffe they had just taken off the torch - maybe they just wanted to wash away the shame?

"Go to the line." He chose a neutral rhetoric as much as possible. "The war is coming, and it will be more intense than every one that has come before. Go, rely on the defense of the city, protect the defenseless people, and as for the rest of the problems, leave it to me to deal with. ”

"But we can work with you—"

"The people are more important." Jiang Yu paused. "Don't get so caught up in the battle itself that you forget the purpose of the battle."

“…… Yes, sir. ”

They're gone.

There was reluctance in their voices.

But they will understand, and they must understand. They will fulfill their promises, and they don't have to waste their lives.

It's okay for them to try to stay alive.

Jiang Yu gently turned the gun in his hand, and he sensed a sense of presence coming from the south and approaching with the ever-increasing hostility. And the legions of Hellfire may now be able to annihilate the Demon King. But for individuals above the regular demon king, they are probably still powerless.

Powerlessness on paper data.

Once they join the battlefield, even the aftermath of the confrontation will leave them dead in an instant.

And the number of such individuals approaching is ......

"There are three of them." Jiang Yu could guess their identities, they were originally the end of this expedition, and he was sure that he would annihilate them all independently in the end.

They are similar to the current realm of others, and within them, they all have a unique light to support their bodies.

A demon king who is more powerful than the demon king.

They gradually appear on the other side of the field of view as the second hand turns.

The red dragon stretched its wings, and the golden serpent was covered with feathers. There are also dark blue giants, as burly and strong as mountains.

He saw them.

They saw him too.

The spear of cutting vibrated gently, and even if it was a mere form, Jiang Yu seemed to sense some kind of familiar taste. It was as if at this moment there was a very kind, even intimate companion standing beside him, holding the gun in his hand with him.

It feels so good.

"Let's stand side by side." He said, speaking to his companion who seemed to exist in the void. He didn't think of the familiar fire at this moment, and he didn't deflect his thoughts to those demons.

Then, it turned into thunder.

………………………………

"The general is disappointed in us."

While the crowd cheered and watched the thunder that pierced the sky, Ren Zhen walked on the way to the front line of defense. Her companion walked beside her, listening to every word and every word she spoke.

'I can feel that he wants company and he wants someone to be able to fight alongside him. But he doesn't have the slightest hope for us. ”

"Be careful." An enchantment that cut off the sound was released by Yang Xu, blocking the scattered tone of speech around her. "The general is doing his duty, and we just need to do our duty. Do your job, and everything will be better. ”

An explosion was heard in the distance.

Dazzling lightning erupted from across the horizon, bursting out with a brilliant tide of destruction. In a trance, one could see the giant falling, and the giant snake being hit by a thunderbolt and knocking the mountain down.

They shouted louder, undaunted by the might of the distant enemy. Because they are under the protection of the Torch Realm, all negative emotions are erased the moment they are generated.

It's a very effective management facility, and its existence erases the internal conflicts and many bullshit that inevitably arise when a wasteland force is quickly integrated. There is no rape of any person, and there is no mental illness or ganging up to oppress the good.

It puts everyone in a greenhouse of abundance. There is no need to go through any wind and rain.

Even the few small challenges are under the sunshine of the 'wind and sun'.

So, can the flowers in the greenhouse survive the storm?

"You're not denying what I claim." Ren Zhen's feet reached the outermost border of the giant city. Her eyes could no longer see through the thunderstorm that covered the entire battlefield. "You know I'm telling the truth."

In the distance, the dust boiled. A wave of secondary ghosts is about to join the battlefield.

Whether or not the flowers survive the storm, if they try, they will be bruised all over their bodies.

"There is not much difference between meaningless truth and falsehood." The former Salvation Army staff officer stared into the distance and shook his head. "Our time is over. Now, we are not much different from an ordinary soldier...... But we're still officers, so let's do what officers are supposed to do. They're coming. ”

Ren Zhen was silent. She knew how mediocre her power was compared to the Hellfire gear.

She turned her head and looked at the Torch Tower at the top of the center of Human City.

- What if...... The fire was extinguished......

She didn't say the tiny, rebellious, and even anti-human thoughts in her heart. She put her small sense of victory and performance under her own responsibility.

She just turned around and went to the front where she was supposed to stand.

And just as she looked away, at the end of her gaze, on the blank space outside the Torch Field, an invisible fluctuation quietly bloomed.

The Torch Realm is the realm equivalent of a powerful Demon King.

The king does not see the king.
