Chapter 786: Chapter 405: Ten Million Troops, Blossoming Here_2

The intensity of the war is increasing and has reached a point where the fortress can barely hold on.

Louis is different from the other reinforcements.

Other reinforcements need time for long marches.

But the Birch Forest Fortress cannot be directly teleported to.

A crucial location like that, even the teleportation arrays from the Imperial Capital, aren’t allowed to directly teleport there.

They must teleport to a nearby town, and then have the soldiers walk over.

The central command has the ability to control the entire realm, but it can’t directly strangle the throats of key locations.

Otherwise, if the central command was suddenly blitzed and captured, they wouldn’t even be able to retreat to defend.

On this, a certain Tunisian who was blitzed by giants in a what-if line has something to say.

In short, the situation at Birch Forest Fortress is too urgent, and there’s not much time to wait for reinforcements.

It’s now clear what they mean by speed being essential in the military.

The speed of a group marching is limited.

After all, you can’t leave anyone behind.

But what if the "army" is just one person, and that person is a monster like Louis?

In short, Louis didn’t hesitate to leave the rear reinforcements behind and rushed ahead.

But as soon as he arrived, the situation on the field exceeded his expectations.

Because Birch Forest Fortress was almost about to be breached.

"Seriously guys, this... this is what you call being able to hold out for more than ten days?"

Louis was speechless.

This is Birch Forest Fortress, one of the key nodes in the northwest direction of your Lokeshi Empire, and it hasn’t even been that long, yet it’s about to be breached.

Seriously!

Well, luckily, you have me as your reliable teammate.

Without a word, Louis descended from the sky.

Have you ever heard of a... lightning magic that descends from the sky?

Before he even landed, a continuous set of lightning bolts dropped first.

This is clearly not one of Louis’s specialty skills.

But it is indeed a skill of the Curse Binding Legion.

To be more precise, it’s a skill of the Thunder Roarers Type I.

What?

You say the Thunder Roarers are not commonly used by the Curse Binding Legion, whereas the Titan Type I is?

Just ask yourself, in the legion where Ense is participating, apart from the Curse Binding Legion, is there anyone who constantly needs to be equipped with legendary equipment?

No?

So what’s the harm in using it temporarily?

We’re all brothers here, helping each other, learning to adapt, you know?

So when hundreds of monsters were baring their teeth and climbing up the walls, thick bolts of lightning swept around, engulfing everything.

Amidst the miserable wails, the Curse Binding Legion made a grand entrance.

Switch equipment!

Thunder Roarers disarmed, Titan Type I equipped!

With a rumble, the heavy armored legion descended like meteors from the sky.

The soldiers of Birch Forest Fortress were being suffocated under the pressure of the monsters, but in that instant, each heavy figure landed like a meteor.

These were the giant monster soldiers.

They naturally had physiques far exceeding those of common races, and with the nourishment of the Sin of Wrath abilities, their bodies further inflated to 1.5 to 2 times the normal size.

Using the body material of the Desolate Bone Great Demon as the main material, the Titan Type I is indeed like a solid fortress.

Upon impact, it was like hellfire descended, wreaking havoc amidst the roaring sounds.

It truly was a scene of destruction like gods and demons descending.

When those heavily armored fortresses unfolded on the ground, wrapped in fiercely burning purplish-black flames, and charged towards the enemy, the heavy stomping shook the forms of many monsters, causing their hearts to tremble.

Strong.

So strong.

What a terrifying impact this is.

Like a herd of elephants advancing on the battlefield at a speed far exceeding that of same-sized cheetahs.

The wave of monsters, surging like a turned-over ant nest, were shattered on the spot by such a charge.

But that’s not all.

The soldiers, primarily made up of human knights, quietly equipped Iron Rider Type I, transforming into death cavalry speeding through the battlefield and swiftly reaping everything around them.

If the monster flood looked like a dense swarm causing trypophobia to flare up, then the clearing speed of the Curse Binding Legion was like a mower sweeping across a field of chives, truly cutting it down in rows and rows.

The stalemate between the two sides was momentarily broken.

However, the stalemate was quickly broken by the death-defying Curse Binding Legion.

Using life for life tactics at the ready, they had no consideration for whether they would die.

That’s right, they who had already died once, how could they fear death again?

So even when they were deeply surrounded by enemies several times or even dozens of times their number on the battlefield, they had no thought of retreating.

Battle! Battle! Battle!

Fight to madness!

This is the choice made by the majority of those who tread the path of the Curse Binding Legion.

They have resolved to sacrifice everything for their country.

Thus, the roar resounded once more, and the battlefield transformed into a grinder of flesh and blood.

Louis stood high above, quietly gazing at the scene below. For a long time, his gaze gradually sharpened.

"This truly is... a pity."

Knowing that it was extremely likely the Sin of Envy had already been killed by Helmer, he was wondering if there was a chance to see this former enemy at the Birch Forest Fortress.

Indeed, for normal people, the death of the flesh represents the passing of life.

But for the Sin of Envy, it might not be the case.

The death of the flesh doesn’t prevent the immortality of his spirit.

Even though this immortality comes at a cruel price and makes him no longer seem like himself.

Yet he is ultimately the first being Louis has seen below the Divine Realm to truly achieve "spiritual immortality."

Although the Lokeshi Empire said that Envy had been killed by the Demon King, Louis always believed that it was merely a way to trap the Sin of Envy’s twisted soul within the body.

Only dominating the Sin of Envy’s power, not truly killing it.

But even so, it is enough to make one despair.

Because this means the power of Sin is in the hands of Helmer.

Even though Envy, returning as a Corpse Demon, might be somewhat easier to deal with than before, that power in Helmer’s hands still represents power held by the enemy.

...It might even be more dangerous than before.

Because Envy would only be considered an old silver coin at most, but Helmer’s style of conduct can only be described as having no bottom line.

Chosen by the Four Gods, they were originally the most violent and hardest to control existences.

Yet Helmer, even in a delirious state, fully displayed the manner of an old silver coin, so one can imagine how annoying this guy is when normal.

Perhaps Helmer, after becoming a puff from the Four Gods’ infusion, was already in a semi-crazy state but still maintained such insidious manipulations.

To put it bluntly, if he weren’t so insidious, in those days they wouldn’t have needed to bet on the lives of former heroes to delay him.

If he were a bit more reckless, he wouldn’t have developed to a point beyond Max’s control.

It could be said that becoming the Chosen of the Four Gods increased Helmer’s strength, but also lowered his rationality.

If he still maintained the rationality of his peak period, Louis could hardly imagine how troublesome this guy would be to handle.

But even so, his threat still far exceeds imagination.

However...

"At least now, I no longer have to fear."

Louis’s cold gaze flickered.

He no longer needed to hide now.

His presence here, even existing, was like the rising sun, so.

"Release... destruction!"

In the Soldier Realm, partial deployment.

Sword Gate Mountain projection generated.

Countless blades blossom here.

The next moment!

The day of upheaval descends.

The soldiers of the Birch Forest Fortress were stunned, watching the scene before them.

Years later, when they recalled the scene at that time, they would always show an indescribable look of surprise, saying to the younger ones:

"Have you ever seen a shower of stars falling from the sky?"

And now, countless monsters saw it.

Sword Gate Mountain hung upside down, divine weapons formed from countless sword marbles rained down from the sky.

The wind howled, the rain swayed.

Countless stars fell here.

Even blood was turned into weapons in the frenzied impact, the heat generated from the high-speed projection lit an unquenchable fire below.

The fire of purgatory was wrapped within, consuming the spreading flames, turning into a sea of fire that swallowed everything.

Yet that sea of fire had no intention of harming the Curse Binding Legion.

Those purple-black phantoms walked within the sea of fire, quiet as children looking up at the moonlight.

But those footsteps were like the visit of the Death God.

One step, two steps...

Silently closing in.

Then devouring life.
