Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 737: Not when it comes to the exam

Views:

The clear sound of bells echoed in the Blazing City.

Due to the special structure of Blazing City, the bell sound is much louder than that of other cities.

The soldiers stationed in the various caves could also easily hear the loud bells.

The sound of these bells has resounded into the hearts of every officer. They immediately dispatched the soldiers fighting on the front line and began to retreat at an extremely fast speed.

Long before the orcs attacked here, Rose's troops had practiced several times for different commands.

Among them, they practiced the retreat order most skillfully.

It's shameful to escape, but it's useful.

It is sheer stupidity to insist on fighting to the very end, to the last man standing.

As for why they had to retreat after a short period of fighting, that was not the officers' business.

Questioning the orders of superiors and failing to execute them promptly is a serious crime in the Rose Empire's troops.

Every Rose officer only needs to perform his duties and carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.

To control too much is to overstep one's bounds.

The weaker heavily-armored soldiers followed orders, raised their shields, and used their bodies to block the stairs leading to higher levels, giving priority to the retreat of the stronger soldiers.

On the edge of the higher class, there are quite a few powerful magicians who work together to use control magic to delay the orcs' attack as much as possible.

Powerful magicians can use teleportation magic.

They had already set up landing points around the teleportation device. When the teleportation device was turned on, they could directly use the teleportation magic to come to the teleportation device and leave the Blazing City.

By the way, the teleportation device built by the Rose Empire is on the fifth level.

It was a silver disk, and next to it, there were four banana-shaped blue pillars neatly arranged around the disk.

This teleportation device can only transport one hundred people at a time and has a five-minute cooldown and recharge time.

It is simply impossible to teleport all the soldiers out with just a "snap".

Almost all soldiers know this, and they also know that

The value of each Rose soldier was determined at the beginning of the war.

Even though some soldiers questioned the simple judgment of the value of a soldier's life, they soon accepted the reality.

They do not have the power or conditions to change this.

All they can do is obey.

General Kailu, who was in charge of guarding the Blazing City, used his sword to deflect Dongmu's fist and frowned. The sudden ringing of the bell was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.

Who gave the order to retreat

Who rang the command bell

Are all the soldiers and officers guarding the command bell vegetarians

Or.

Kailu remembered that at the generals' meeting, the two generals guarding Dongwang City had talked about a strange thing.

—The command bell set in Dongwang City was inexplicably rung.

The two generals speculated that this must have been the work of a traitor in the army, and the misfiring of the cannon was a lesson learned from the previous incident.

Can it be done

No, that's impossible!

The people guarding there are all people I trust, there is no way they would betray me!

But, how to explain it now

General Kailu simply didn't believe that he would be wrong, but he had to accept the reality.

The bell for retreat has been rung, but the troops led by General Kailu himself can still use telepathy to make them ignore the bell and act according to his will.

But for ordinary soldiers and officers, when the bell rang, they seemed to be in order, but in fact

My heart is in turmoil.

The "correct way" of doing each instruction is deeply engraved in their bones.

As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted.

Erratic orders only further undermine the morale of the soldiers.

Even if the soldiers obeyed his orders and returned to defend, I'm afraid there would be no good results.

After hesitating for a moment, General Kailu ordered the troops behind him to retreat.

On another battlefield.

The golden storm continued to swirl around Chang Yanagikawa.

Chang Liuchuan also heard the bell to retreat, but he did not stop attacking, and his hammer continued to smash down on Yang Yu.

The colorful road turned into broken glass after being smashed countless times by Chang Liuchuan.

Every time Yang Yu stepped on it, the ground crackled.

But the broken glass on the ground did not affect Yang Yu's movement.

No matter how many debris flew up, Yang Yu was able to avoid them calmly.

Although he was not always unscathed, the damage was well within Yang Yu's acceptable range.

"hateful."

No matter how hard he swung the hammer, he just couldn't hit the target, and a feeling of frustration arose in Chang Yanagawa's heart.

I thought that I had already figured out Yang Yu's background through the memory crystal and found a way to deal with him.

It was not until he actually fought with Yang Yu that Chang Liuchuan discovered how difficult Yang Yu was.

Dealing with Yang-woo feels like...

When I was in class, I thought I understood everything, but when it came to the exam, I knew nothing.

"Yo.

This sounds like the sound of your troops retreating.

Aren't you going to retreat with the troops?"

Chang Liuchuan did not answer, but just stared at Yang Yu.

He knew that if he couldn't even deal with Yang Yu...

I'm afraid that after this, no one will be able to restrict this man.

This is definitely a major concern for the empire.

"[Holy Light Imprisonment]"

He stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and dazzling holy light projected down from above Yang Yu's head.

Chang Liuchuan grabbed the war hammer and slammed it towards Yang Yu.

Before he was completely unable to move, Yang Yu plunged his foot into the debris and kicked upwards, causing countless pieces of glass to fly up.

A holy light shield rose up above Chang Liuchuan's body. No matter how the glass shards hit the shield, he still swung his war hammer straight towards Yang Yu.

Under the pressure of the holy light, Yang Yu raised his shield with difficulty.

The hammer and Yang Yu's shield met again, and the shield in Yang Yu's hand was instantly smashed into pieces.

Just when Chang Liuchuan thought he had succeeded, he saw Yang Yu calmly avoiding the broken shield fragments, taking out a small round shield, and moving back to distance himself from him.

In order to quickly defeat Yang Yu, Chang Liuchuan expended a lot of energy and strength, and the intensity of the storm was no longer as strong as before.

Seizing the opportunity, he chanted magic, and an [Ice Spear Technique] formed in front of Bai Jin. Iyas also drew the bow and aimed the arrow at Chang Liuchuan.

At Bai Jin's command, a huge ice spear pierced through the holy light storm and headed straight for Chang Liuchuan.

Seeing that it was too late, Chang Yanagikawa swung his hammer again and hit the white ice spear.

The white ice spear instantly shattered into countless ice chips, and white mist rose around Chang Liuchuan.

A shining light followed, and a light arrow emerged from Bai Jin's shattered ice spear, whooshed and hit Chang Liuchuan's shoulder.

However, Ias's arrow of light did not pierce Nagayagawa's shoulder.

A streak of light flashed across Chang Yanagikawa's armor, and Iyas's bow and arrow was broken into two pieces by his armor.

Is it the armor on your body that is active

In the elves' treasure house, Yang Yu had seen several pieces of equipment with active effects.

The Rose Empire is one of the three major human countries. It is reasonable to equip their high-end combat forces with some good equipment.

JOJO, I won’t stay up late to update anymore.

There will be one update tonight, and I will try to get the second update out before noon tomorrow.

The update rhythm has been messed up recently, and I won’t explain the reasons so it doesn’t sound like I’m making excuses.

The result is that my mind feels fuzzy and I can't write the desired effect.

If you can't write the desired effect, you will have to spend more time revising it.

There are many cases where the more you change, the worse it gets, haha

It’s a vicious cycle.

Don't say anything, I'm just a rookie, my experience is still not enough.
