Soraya said:
“Alright… We’ve learned that at the 8th construction site of the Heaven-Mending Plan, a Level 7 Flame Demon is leading an army invasion. Currently, the various battle groups on the God-forsaken Continent are tied up by the Demon Army and cannot spare duplications. Only a small battle group stationed at the site is resisting. Please go and provide support.”
Gandaph replied:
“Don’t worry, leave this mission to us. You stay safe at the frontline too.”
Soraya waved her hand.
“Go quickly!”
Gandaph and his companions immediately rushed to the 8th construction site.
Soraya looked with a heavy expression as they disappeared.
“I hope you can live up to your word.”
…
At the 8th construction site.
Two parties were engaged in a fierce battle.
On one side was the wizard battle group stationed there, and on the other was the overwhelmingly strong Demon Army.
From a distance, Gandaph could feel the shockwaves transmitted from the war.
“Victor, I’ll take on the frontal fight alongside Master Fire Dragon. You’re responsible for delivering a killing blow.”
Victor responded:
“You two be cautious, safety first.”
Gandaph and the Holy Infant exchanged glances, their figures flickering as they vanished.
On the battlefield.
The echoes of slaughter and spell explosions were relentless.
Every now and then, meteoric streams of magic radiance lit up the sky.
The wizard battle group was retreating step by step under the pressure of the sudden Demon Army attack.
A towering Flame Demon, a thousand meters tall, stood high against the heavens. With every gesture, magma flowed, and heavenly fire descended!
“Hahaha, perish!”
“To die under the flames of the great Lord of Flame Demon, Rogner, is your honor!”
The Flame Demon’s arrogance soared to the heavens, releasing the aura of a Level 7 Early Stage force that shook the sky.
The strongest from the wizard battle group were merely a handful of Sixth-Circle Wizards.
They could only rely on their combat array to barely hold on while fighting and retreating at the same time, awaiting reinforcements.
Warband Wizards continued to die, reduced to ashes under the flames.
Compared to the demon side, the battle group was vastly inferior in terms of lord numbers and ash demons.
The sole advantage was their training, cooperation, and combat array, which the demons lacked.
Demons often started fighting among themselves mid-battle, a common occurrence.
Yet the absolute numbers rendered all of this insignificant.
Rogner slaughtered madly, striking the combat array with great force, causing several wizards to spit blood and grow mentally exhausted.
“Too weak! Pathetically weak!”
Battle Group Commander Nerod calmly said:
“The combat array is about to collapse. I’ll try to buy some time. Everyone, use whatever means you can and prepare to escape.”
He was a Sixth-Circle Perfect Wizard, and with his hidden cards, he felt capable of stalling that Level 7 Flame Demon for a while.
After the battle group evacuated, he would then attempt his own escape.
The 8th construction site would have to be abandoned.
There was no other option.
The Demon Army’s invasion of the God-forsaken Continent was too aggressive this time.
While the congress had dispatched over a dozen battle groups, they wouldn’t make an impact anytime soon.
Fortunately, non-official wizard elites had been arriving gradually, holding off the first wave of attacks.
Upon hearing that the Commander planned to risk his life against a Level 7 Demon,
the warband wizards who had worked alongside him for a long time all had their expressions change.
But as soldiers, their prime duty was obedience.
Staying behind would only lead to greater casualties.
Thus, everyone prepared themselves mentally for the sacrifice.
“Breath of Destruction!”
