Chapter 61: Chapter 61
Not far from the south of Galros Fortress,
Upon learning that the Abyss Demons began attacking the Galros Fortress, duke Xiumu hastily led the elite troops of Linfeng City, with 5,000 Snowstorm Knights on their warhorses, charging mightily towards Galros Fortress! As they approached their destination, other forces that had come to support the fortress gradually joined duke Xiumu.
The forces behind duke Xiumu had grown to 80,000! The vast army was making its way towards Galros Fortress.
However,
The well-trained and disciplined powerful forces at his back didn't make duke Xiumu feel the slightest bit at ease.
If it were an ordinary Abyss Demon invasion, Xiumu would undoubtedly have enough confidence to use this army to drive the demons out completely! However, the situation this time was clearly different! From the momentum of the previous explosion, among the Abyss Demons attacking Galros Fortress, there was a terrifying presence of a Demon King!
Facing such an existence,
Even with tens of thousands of soldiers and two Saint-ranked expert behind him,
Xiumu had no confidence in repelling the enemy.
But he had no other choice at the moment. If he didn't stop the Abyss Demons, once the monsters advanced and spread southward, the consequences would be unimaginable!!
As the troops continued to march forward, Xiumu felt an increasing sense of heaviness in his heart.
--
'Martial Technique - Breaking Skym!'
He swung his massive sword fiercely,
With the aid of the Saint-ranked Scarlet Fighting Qi, Xiumu launched a killing attack,
With a single strike,
He instantly killed five Abyss Demons that had charged straight at him! The other Snowstorm Knights leading the charge also easily slaughtered nine more Abyss Demons through perfect coordination!
Gazing at the huge corpses of more than a dozen Abyss Demons,
Xiumu couldn't help but hold his breath,
Abyss Demons had appeared here,
'That means Galros Fortress is now in great danger.'
Although he had anticipated this situation, Marquis Xiumu's heart still couldn't accept the sight of the Abyss Demons breaking through the defense lines, and he clenched his teeth.
At this moment,
The captain of the Snowstorm Knights - Sikta, riding a red-footed warhorse, quickly approached Marquis Xiumu's side.
"my lord, we have news from the royal family."
What?!
Hearing this, Marquis Xiumu immediately showed an excited expression and hurriedly asked:
"Is there news from the royal family? Have reinforcements arrived?!"
Seeing the excitement on Marquis Xiumu's face, Sikta sighed awkwardly,
"I'm sorry, my lord. There are no reinforcements. The reinforcements are temporarily unable to arrive due to a large-scale avalanche in Jialing Valley."
"What?! Are you joking?!"
"I'm sorry, my lord. This is true. However, the royal family has sent other orders."
"No reinforcements, and they're giving orders? Haha..."
Marquis Xiumu let out a disdainful laugh,
Apparently, this borderland marquis was not satisfied with the Snow Night Empire's royal family.
"Well, what kind of ghostly order is it?"
"The royal family ordered us to hold the line south of Anqi Mountain Range and not let the Abyss Demons break through. As for Galros Fortress and the nearby Abyss Demons, we were told not to worry about them for now."
"What? Don't worry about them? What the hell does that mean?" Marquis Xiumu couldn't help exclaiming.
"They say, to handle the abyssal demons there, they will launch the mana fission bomb," the news left Xiumu in disbelief as he looked at Sikta.
"You mean, the weapon that developed by the Crown Prince?" Xiumu asked.
"Yes, it seems that the royal family wants to use this battlefield as a testing ground," Sikta replied with a nod, his expression turning grim.
"The royal family, do they not know about the Heaven's Chosen one from the Asumos sect who's also there? Aren't they afraid of causing a rift with the Asumos church and the Red Lotus Leaf Empire?!" Xiumu exclaimed.
"Your Lordship, I have already spoken to them."
"And the royal family hasn't changed their mind?"
"No, they haven't."
In that moment, Xiumu was left somewhat dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
If the royal family were to use the mana fission bomb, considering its power, their army shouldn't continue to advance. If they were caught in the blast, the consequences would be unimaginable. But if they were only defending the Anqi Mountains to eliminate the invading abyssal demons, wouldn't that mean directly abandoning the soldiers and civilians at Galros Fortress?!
Abandoning the people of their own territory?!
For a moment, Xiumu struggled to accept this, clenching his fists in pain.
Moreover, while he wasn't particularly interested in the Heaven's Chosen one, she was still a figure the Asumos church held in high regard. If something were to happen to her...
Sigh.
What on earth were the royals thinking?!
Xiumu couldn't help but roar inwardly.
However, at that moment,
"Shua!"
A white meteor streaked across the sky, and a torrential wave of oppressive force assaulted them from above, causing Xiumu and the soldiers behind him to shudder. This soul-chilling presence made Xiumu's expression change drastically.
Immediately, he looked up at the sky.
'What, what is that?!'
Witnessing the white light rushing towards Galros Fortress and sensing the overwhelming power of the holy law energy,
Xiumu, the Marquis, couldn't help but gasp, his weathered cheeks now occupied by a mix of solemnity and unease.
Now,
The situation was becoming more and more complicated.
Elsewhere,
At Galros Fortress,
Although Limu was not injured by the explosion caused by Kozov's self-destruction and the magical stone's energy blast, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but shake her enormous head and rub her face with her wolf's paw.
After all, being blasted was a bit itchy.
Following that, Limu continued to look into the interior of Galros Fortress, trying to find her mother's figure amidst the hellish inferno.
However,
Because Yumo had completely hidden her presence in front of the protagonist, Limu couldn't find her mother among the vast ruins for a while, making the giant wolf increasingly anxious.
'Mother, where are you? You're not really angry, ignoring me, are you? '
'Please, no!!!'
Now, Limu's heart was filled with unease and fear, much like a naughty child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being abandoned by their parents.
In her haste to eliminate the protagonist, Limu impulsively fired the 'Annihilation Cannon' at Garlos Fortress. However, after launching it, a torrent of regret surged through her heart. She wanted to destroy the protagonist without upsetting her mother, but her feelings were complicated.
Sob.., o(╥﹏╥)o
If only she had consulted with Liyu before taking action,
Her sister was smarter and might have had a better solution.
However,
Regret was clearly useless at this point.
What Limu wanted to do now was to find Yumo as soon as possible and, through excessive cutesy actions, seek her forgiveness.
Yet,
After a round of sensing, Limu couldn't find Yumo's figure, but instead noticed the silver silhouette fighting the Heavenly Punishment Sacred Sect!?
What?! That woman was still alive?!!
Did her mother protect her?
The moment she noticed Mengxi, an astonishing chill and murderous intent burst from the giant white wolf's eyes. The bloody Shadow power within her body became restless, emitting a horrifying aura that caused the surrounding abyssal demons to tremble instinctively. The surviving defenders were completely immobilized by this pressure.
The weaker ones even fainted on the spot.
And fainting in front of abyssal demons meant only one thing, which didn't need any explanation.
'Should I attack again?!' Limu couldn't help but think.
Now, her mother didn't seem to be near the Heaven's Chosen one . If she took action, she might be able to kill her.
However,
If her mother was nearby,
She might not only fail to kill the protagonist but also thoroughly disappoint her mother...
'What should I do, ╥﹏╥ ~'
The giant wolf's heart was full of conflicting emotions.
But,
Just as her indecision focused her attention entirely on the silver-haired girl, a white meteor suddenly roared across the sky at an unthinkable speed! The white light that suddenly entered her perception startled Limu.
Looking up at the sky in astonishment,
'What is that?!'
Before she could react, the white meteor suddenly appeared before Limu! As the white light faded, a white-haired girl in a black military skirt appeared in Limu's field of vision.
"Good afternoon, Snow Devourer!"
At the same time the words reached her ears,
The white-haired girl's iron fist, wrapped in a vast aura of holy energy, suddenly swung out! It struck Limu's head with a powerful blow!
