A suppressed roar rang out from the tent of the commander of the 2nd Legion, a roar that carried a mixture of emotions such as anger, pain, and helplessness. Like a wounded beast, struggling and screaming in the shadows.

Leo held his head, and he curled up on the ground. Next to the regimental commander was a charred black ground, which had crystallized as a result of a high-temperature burn that had just been subjected to it. Leo gasped, his gray hair, at some point, dyeing a delicate red at the roots.

This layer of red seems to want to continue to move upward, and the rolling red streamer can be faintly seen from each strand of hair. It was just something that suppressed them that didn't let them dye Leo's gray hair bright red.

Leo roared and slammed his fist to the ground. Suddenly, a dark fire pattern overflowed from the fist, and the regiment leader's eyes showed a painful expression, and from time to time there would be a trace of black lines passing by. If you look closely, you will notice a figure looming in the depths of that pupil.

If you put this faint figure under the microscope, you will see that it is Gaia!

Next to Leo stood another man.

The man is middle-aged, but he is very strong. Bald head, with a short beard, the muscles on his body are twisted together like a tightrope. A scimitar adorned with countless gems hangs from his waist, and the pattern of the cloak on his body shows the identity of the 9th Regiment Commander.

Frank, the head of the 9th Regiment of the Knights of the Holy Seal, crossed his arms around his chest and acted as if he didn't care about anything. He said to Leo who was suffering on the ground: "Give up, why should you have trouble with your master's liliang." Accept it, feel it, embrace it, then you are like me now, you can only feel every cell cheering, how can there be any pain?"

"Shut up, Frank, you're just a coward who gave in to Liliang!" Leo looked up, his face contorted.

A cold glint flashed in Frank's eyes: "You are noble, but when you are on the line of life and death, you have not chosen to give in, what qualifications do you have to say about me!"

"Anyway, I'm not like you!" Leo cried again, the black lines in his eyes gradually disappearing, and the streamer between his hair stopped surging. He knew that he had once again suppressed that Liliang call to himself, and thus kept himself.

But he didn't know how long he could hold on, and every time he suppressed Liliang's call. The next time it comes up, it will become even more irresistible. And the result of choosing to be submissive is to become Frank's current situation, completely becoming Liliang's slave.

No, to be exact, to be a slave to the man named Gaia.

It was in that dark palace that the man with the long silver hair changed them. The man gave him and Frank the promotion to the ninth-order liliang, but this liliang was full of darkness and violence. Leo was an iron-blooded soldier with a lot of lives on his hands. But this is completely different from the nature of that liliang, which is a completely dark liliang.

Death, destruction is its constant message. And the source of this information, in the process of fighting Liliang's summoning, Leo came into contact with another will.

It was an unimaginably large will, and it was far above Gaia. It asked Leo to give in, and Leo kept refusing. That will is cold and magnificent, Leo can't imagine that once he admits it, he will still be Leo?

No, he will be a puppet of that will. That will will observe this shijie through his body, just like Frank.

The Frank that Leo knew was gone, and the current Frank was just a moving body. And the soul in that body is no longer his own colleagues, but something else.

At this time, the voice of the guards sounded outside the camp tent: "Report, Commander Yafidi asks to see." ”

Leo stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, threw himself into the chair and said, "Let him in." ”

The tent was opened, and the handsome Jafidi entered. He glanced at the scorched ground next to Leo intentionally or unintentionally, nodded at Frank again, and then said to Leo, "Teacher, are you okay?"

Like Lambonis, Leo is also referred to as a teacher among the young Legion Commanders in the Knights of the Holy Seal. Leo knew that he couldn't hide his situation from the sensitive Yafidi, but he couldn't reveal anything to Yafidi. Once Jafidi knew that there was a demon hiding in Sauron's palace, then there was no need for the Poseidon to attack Rome, and the Papal Hall would have to collapse first.

The Papal Chamber can acquiesce in Sauron's rebellion, and his rebellion now seems to be in the interests of many. But the most important thing is that Sauron is also from the Order of Knights after all.

Gaia was different, that mysterious man was definitely not from Rome, or even from the Western Continent. Putting such a person in power is not something that some big people would like to see.

"I'm fine, I'm caring. Leo waved his hand, sat up straight and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"Yes, teacher. Yafidi nodded and said, "Regarding the suppression of the rebels in the Canon Fortress this time, I have carefully considered and thought of several countermeasures. I would like to bring it up and hear the opinions of the teacher and the head of Frank. ”

Leo said at the end, Frank Haha smiled and said, "Commander Yafidi, what are you thinking? Do you mean that when our army is 25,000 men and a large number of chariots and mechs, we still need to be careful to play some strategy with the enemy?"

Yafei Dijun's face turned red, and there was anger in his eyes, but he still said calmly: "What does Captain Frank mean?"

Frank stretched out his hand and said, "Under the absolute superiority of our army, it is okay to push flat!"

"As far as we know, the enemy army has a group of high-level capable people. ”

"But we have people!" Frank said proudly, "The high level is also a human being, and if you are a human being, you will be tired." I don't believe that under the fatigue bombardment of our army, they can hold on!"

Yafidi's face changed slightly, and he said, "What does Captain Frank mean is that we use the lives of ordinary soldiers to kill each other's high-rank?"

"Why not?"

"As a commander, doesn't Commander Frank feel that it is a commander's sorrow to win a war with human lives?"

Frank sneered, "Commander Yafidi, you also know that this is war. There will be sacrifices in war, and I don't think there's anything wrong with taking human lives to kill the other party's high-ranking ranks. You have to understand that an ordinary soldier, as long as you recruit it, you have it. But the capable, especially the high-level, is not so easy to appear. If a thousand soldiers can kill a high-ranking soldier, then I think it's totally enough. ”

"Even if their role is only to consume high-level energy, the value of these soldiers is also the most intuitive embodiment!"

Jafidi's lips opened slightly, and finally swallowed the word "madman" back into his stomach.

Leo waved his hand and said, "That's enough, you don't have to fight anymore." As for the repression, I have my own calculations. ”

"Report!" the voice of the guards outside the camp rang out again: "The 4th Patrol has come to report, they have found the eyes and ears of the enemy outside the camp, and the patrol has now gone to pursue them. ”

"Got it. Leo said casually.

"Looks like a little bug has come to us, so it's fine. Just to relieve my boredom. Frank went down with a sinister smile.

Yafidi wanted to say something, but Leo shook his head and said, "I'm tired, you go down first." ”

Since he said so, Yafidi couldn't say anything, so he had to sigh and turn away.

In a jungle not far from the Knights' camp, a figure quickly shuttled through the woods. His trajectory is very varied, and his speed is unpredictable. When night fell, he hid behind a large tree. The man stretched out his hand and pulled at the trunk of the tree, and a large piece of bark was taken down, and it was hollow inside. He immediately flashed in, and carefully put the previous bark back in its place.

In the dark hollow of the tree, only the sound of a man's long breathing could be heard. A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by human voices.

"Why is it gone?"

"Did you run away?"

"I shouldn't have run far yet, hurry up!"

After ten minutes of staying like this, the man came out of the hollow of the tree after making sure that there was no one outside. He breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, "I want to catch you Uncle Hanok? ”

Hanok, a member of the Trident, is a sixth-order powerhouse.

After Zero entered Mesa City, he arranged for some of the Trident members to disperse to serve as secret sentinels near the Bloodstained Path to monitor the situation of the Bloodstained Path. Hannock's area happened to be nearby, and after spotting the Knights' army group on the road, Hannock secretly observed the Order's camp. From the size of the barracks, the number of military tents roughly extrapolated the number of soldiers.

In addition to this, he also recorded information such as combat vehicles, mechs, etc. It's just that when he left, he was discovered by a patrol of the Knights. However, Hanok himself is a capable person, and it is really not easy for ordinary soldiers to catch him. And during his time in this area, Hanock carefully modified several hiding spots, such as the tree hole where he is now hiding.

The arrival of night provides the best cover for Hanock. He quietly dives into the depths of the woods, and Zuihou comes to a cave. The cave was covered with rocks and branches, and Hanock turned them over and burrowed into the cave. A moment later, he came out again, with an extra instrument in his hand.

This is a teleporter that uses the transit nodes scattered around the Bloodstained Path to quickly transmit information back to Fort Canon. After transmitting the information, Hanock breathed a sigh of relief. After doing all this, he felt hungry. Remembering that there were still a few delicious canned cooked meats hidden in the cave, Hanock felt even hungrier.

He walked to the cave, and before he could get inside, he heard someone whispering behind him: "Since you have sent all the information back, now you can rest assured that you will die!"
