"Report to Your Majesty that the burial army has broken through the left flank of the city guard and is heading towards the city wall"

"Pass my order, the 19th Army on the right flank urgently mobilizes 3,000 men to fill the gap on the left flank, and the Eye of Helis on the east wall is ready to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Stephanie sat high in the wartime dispatch post in the center of the thick city wall of Hurlis, and in front of her was a map of the terrain in front of Hurlis, with countless flags planted, but it could be seen that in the past nearly a week, under the tenacious defense of Hurlis, it only made the offensive of the funeral army drop again and again, but it could not be completely crushed, and the demon army under the command of Curry seemed to be tireless, not afraid of life and death, in their world, there was only charge and kill.

There are only Stephanie and Adams in the huge dispatch post, and there are no generals, all Corvo's generals have been almost all killed in the Corvo Rebellion in the past six months, and today, all the senior generals are also in command, fighting bravely under the wall in front of them, and for the current Corvo, there is no need for any tactics, all they need to do is to hold behind them and survive.

Stephanie propped her hands on the sand table, her brows furrowed, after the herald left, Stephanie suddenly sat down on the chair behind her, rubbing her eyebrows with both hands, and the tiredness on her face was a little thicker, in this week's battle of Hurlis, although Stephanie did not take the lead, but stood with the army soldiers all the time, almost never closed her eyes, she really couldn't hold on.

Stephanie covered her eyes with her hands, and a tired voice came from her palm, "Father, do you say that this war is really won?" Adams's face had an unbearable expression, as a soul lord level soul master, he may have a great role on the battlefield, but that effect is far from being final, and according to the battle report from the front line, the combat power of the three knights led by Curry is also the lowest level of the soul lord, even stronger than Adams, Adams's strength is already extremely difficult to deal with one person, let alone face three people at the same time.

In fact, Adams's purpose for staying here is very clear, in addition to protecting his daughter at all times, it is to leave here far away with Stephanie when he is waiting for the moment when Hurlis City is broken, Adams is confident, although he can't defeat Curry and others, but if he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

Stephanie didn't even think of an answer when she asked this sentence, she knew in her heart that the victory of the funeral army was only a matter of time, the knight on the white horse and dressed in white robes had never shot an arrow into the battlefield, you must know that he had shot through the walls of Shencheril two months ago, Stephanie did not think that the magnificent walls of Hellis were stronger than the walls that Shencheril had prepared for war, perhaps the moment when the knight on the white horse stretched his bow and pulled the arrow was the time of Corvo's death.

Suddenly, Stephanie put down her hands and looked at Adams, Adams looked at Stephanie a little strangely and asked, "What's wrong?" Stephanie looked straight into Adams' eyes, and a violent uneasiness suddenly rose in Adams's heart, and Stephanie said, "Father, I only ask you for one thing" Adams suddenly realized what Stephanie was going to say, he just wanted to interrupt her, but Stephanie waved her hand, her eyes were full of undeniable determination, Stephanie looked at the huge battlefield outside the dispatch station, the roars of countless people and the tearing sound of swords passing through their bodies resounded in the ears of the two like thunder, Stephanie's voice was no longer tired, "Please let me live and die with Corvo"

Under the walls of Hurlis, corpses were everywhere, and the corpses of humans and hellish low-level demons were almost all over the plain, but more people and demons were fighting in this corpse in a disorderly hand-to-hand fight, this terrible battle has lasted for nearly a week, but the battle has not stopped for a moment, whether it is day or night, the soldiers of Hellis have shown superhuman will, and they have blocked the attack of the demon hordes with no numerical superiority.

There are dozens of huge turrets on the walls of Hurlis, the forts keep tilting down bullets, under the violent barrage of fire, the demon's body falls like cutting wheat, there are the same dozens of tall columns between the forts, there is a huge sphere on the pillar, the sphere is completely made of tin, you can imagine how expensive this column is, and every time the column passes a specific cycle time, it will emit a very violent cyan blue light on the sphere, and every inch of the light forward, it will directly turn the demon into steam on the path, this is the research result of Adams, the people of Hurlis call it Tianling。

The defense line composed of heavenly beggars and turrets is almost impossible to break through in the human war, but this time, Corvo's enemies are not humans, under the extremely fast speed and fierce charge of countless low-level demons, they paved the way with corpses to break through this defense line, thousands of demons have rushed to the city wall, on the wall of Herlis, nearly a hundred soul masters belonging to the eye of Hurlis have stood on the edge of the city wall, their hands or flames, or condensed into steel, or took out the hideous weapons in the soul pattern, they are ready to defend the last line of defense of Hurlis even if they give up their lives。

Nearly 100 Dubil trolls were covered in hollows shot by the barrage, but there was no pain in their small scarlet eyes, and they roared towards the city wall with the mace stained with minced flesh in their hands, and the hearts of the Hurlis soul masters had already risen to their throats, and suddenly a violent shout came from the other side of the city wall, and countless people rushed towards the demon group from the city without fear.

The crowd looked closely and it turned out to be all ordinary people, some of them were wearing simple armor made of cowhide, some of them were simply wearing ordinary clothes, and the weapons in their hands were just common objects in the house, kitchen knives, sticks, and the first few people were holding long knives or axes, and it could be seen that the eyes of these people were not fearless, but their steps were still very firm, and they covered the fear in their hearts with shouting, and rushed straight towards the demons.

The demons were stunned, did these people come to give them lunch, the soul masters on the wall of Hurlis were also stunned, they had never heard of such an army in Herlis, but the demons only stopped for a moment and rushed towards the crowd, and the leader looked like a young man who was less than twenty years old, the young man held a long knife in his hand, and shouted "Seven stars, kill the enemy!"

The crowd raised their knives and shouted "For Corvo!" The young man at the head was none other than Alva, who was wearing an old military uniform, which was a little too big on him, and Alva rolled up his sleeves and held a long knife in his hand, and took the brunt of the attack towards the demons.

Alva was actually extremely nervous, his hand holding the knife kept shaking, but he had already rushed to the demon, the hell low-level demon had an extremely thin body, but it had a mouth full of sharp teeth, it opened its big mouth, purple saliva had flowed to the ground, Alva roared, slashing towards the demon in front of him.

Arnold, who was riding a black horse in the distance, cut off the head of the soldier in front of him with a knife, his face was full of blood at the moment, but it was obvious that Arnold did not have any scars on his body, and the blood was all from the soldiers defending the city, but Arnold seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, he did not wipe the blood splashed on his face, stretched out his tongue and gently licked the blood that flowed to his mouth, and laughed extremely hideously, Lilith was beside Arnold, a long whip in his hand was like a giant python spitting out the core, every time the whip shadow was skipped, more than a dozen soldiers would be cut in two。

Hurlis's defense line retreated again and again, and it could be seen that all the soldiers had been at the end of the crossbow in the nearly week's war, and the number of demons seemed to have not decreased at all, and the pace of continuous forward oppression, the troops of the Seven Stars suffered heavy casualties in the moment of intersecting with the demons, but their fearless spirit was not weaker than the demons, and they still charged forward desperately, Stephanie walked up to the city and stood between the heavens, the spheres above the heavens had dimmed a lot, and the bullets in the fort had almost been exhausted, Stephanie could clearly see that Hurlis's defenses had been completely suppressed under the city walls。

Curry was standing in the distance facing the gate of Hurlis, and the demons were still running out in the boundless fog behind him, but Curry frowned deeply, he could clearly feel that since three days ago, the number of demons in this fog had plummeted, and even the demons that were now supplied could not catch up with the consumption of the front line, and the tenacity of Hurlis's soldiers who did not give a step made Curry couldn't help but be moved.

He knew that something should have happened in the waters of Koster, but he didn't believe that there would be anyone in this world who could stop Lucifer's pace, but Curry couldn't wait any longer, he stretched out his left hand, and a huge bow and crossbow composed entirely of white light appeared in his hand, his right hand rested on the bowstring, and pulled it back, a bow and arrow as thick as an adult's leg suddenly appeared, Curry did not hesitate, and as soon as his right hand was released, the bow and arrow seemed to be a light that penetrated the sky and went straight to Stephanie above the gate of Hurlis.

Stephanie seemed to feel that the white light had arrived in front of her in an instant, the violent explosion of the light made Stephanie unable to hear any sound at the moment, the wind carried by the arrows carried by the wind on her head fluttered wantonly, Adams's face behind Stephanie changed greatly, he used all his strength to rush towards Stephanie, but he was still a step slow, the light blue light of his body could not protect Stephanie before the light arrow pierced Stephanie's head.

Just when the arrow of light had almost touched Stephanie's forehead, there was a sudden white light, and the violent white light made Stephanie and Adams close their eyes tightly, but after a while, the white light disappeared, Stephanie's pupils dilated suddenly, and a ragged figure appeared in front of her, the figure held a long sword in his right arm, the black auspicious cloud on his left arm was vivid, and the ancient new sun behind him was as dazzling as the second sun.

Luo Mu saved Stephanie at the last moment, but now looking at it, Luo Mu's eyes are full of white light, and now Luo Mu's body lives in Quinn's last all of his soul power, Quinn knows that Luo Mu must now release all the soul power in his previous body, only in this way can Luo Mu really have his own power.

Ke Rui put down the bow in his hand slightly, and looked at Luo Mu floating at the head of Hurlis City across the entire plain, but his face did not show the slightest expression, Luo Mu raised the cloud chopping in his hand, and swung forward with a knife, this knife condensed all the soul power in Luo Mu's body, and all the soul power left by Quinn in this world, a huge gray-black wind blade covering the sky and the sun almost covered all directions in front of the city wall of Hurres, where the wind blade passed, all the plants withered, and the space was shattered, and then there were countless demons that broke and dissipated together, and the wind blade arrived in front of Ke Rui in an instant, but the wind blade could be swept above Ke Rui's head, completely cutting through the fog behind him, and the plain in front of the city of Hurlis finally showed the sun for the first time.

Under Luo Mu's blow, the burial army was almost directly killed, and the most important thing is that after the fog disappears, there will be no more demons coming out of it, Barnett has most of the armor on his body at this moment, he is covered in blood, and his hair is sticky minced meat, but he still raised the long knife in his hand, which already has countless openings, and shouted "For Corvo!"

The countless surviving soldiers roared once again, and rushed with all their might towards the few remaining burial soldiers.

Stephanie's mouth opened in surprise, she looked at the back in front of her fixedly, but Luo Mu jumped towards Hurlis City without saying a word, Stephanie hurriedly said, "Can you leave a name?" But before Stephanie finished speaking, Luo Mu's figure had already disappeared.

Luo Mu made a few jumps in Hurlis City, the soul power in his body had completely dissipated, leaving only an extremely strong physique, and now he might not even be as good as a rudimentary soul disciple on the basis of his soul power, but Luo Mu knew that although he had to start all over again, his body was no longer the same as before.

Luo Mu returned to the home of the three of them in Hurlis, he opened the door and walked in, all the memories poured into his mind like a tsunami at this moment, Luo Mu's hands trembled slightly, he remembered everything Miao Yun had done, Luo Mu walked to the third floor, he seemed to be able to see Miao Yun's shadow busy in this room, and he seemed to be able to smell the unique smell of Miao Yun on the tip of his nose.

Luo Mu lay on the bed, there was still a cigarette that Miao Yun bought for him on the bedside table, Luo Mu put the cloud on the pillow, lit a cigarette, the cigarette curled around the ceiling, the sound of fighting from outside the city gradually weakened, the afternoon sun was in the room, through the smoke on the bed, the cloud was slightly bright.

Luo Mu slowly closed his eyes, the tip of his nose was still a familiar smell, he seemed to hear Miao Yun's coquettish voice in his ears again, but Luo Mu knew that from now on, there was no dream next to his pillow.
