144: Give it a go

Lin Ye, freed from the spatial confinement, instantly teleported into the concentrated Demon formation.

The moment he arrived, four auxiliary skills cast by nearby allies landed on him.

Boiling Blood.

Eloi's Mental Guardian.

Holy Light Shield.

Damage Absorption Chain.

In an instant, Lin Ye's offense and defense were maxed out.

On Lin Ye's hands, thick black ripples appeared.

Wave Fist.

The Wave Fist, imbued with strong armor-piercing capabilities, pulverized the Spider Demon in front of him before it could even react.

With another backhand punch, he struck a Blade Demon not far away.

The current Lin Ye was no longer the Lin Ye whose defense was completely shattered by a single blow from a Blade Demon.

Having strengthened dozens of times over, he sent the 'squishy' Blade Demon away with just one punch.

"Damned human."

"Quick, help! There's a human sneak attack here."

The Demons reacted.

And how could the Star Level humans, who had been brewing for so long, miss such a good opportunity?

Their concentrated ultimate skills were unleashed one after another.

For a moment, it caught the Demons off guard.

Balu sensed that something was amiss here; a localized battlefield loss would affect the entire War.

He immediately mobilized the remaining Middle Demons under his command to go and support.

But when it came to support, how could they compare to humans who had a Commander?

As soon as this group of Demons appeared, Star Level humans immediately surrounded them.

Balu wanted to personally intervene and provide support, but Lin Zhenyue, who had been in a stalemate with him, moved to intercept him.

"Retreat, quick, retreat."

Support was already too late; he clearly knew he couldn't hesitate, as hesitation would only lead to greater losses.

The Demons retreated one after another.

The human side generally had inferior physical qualities, and naturally, their speed was also inferior, making pursuit very difficult.

But it was different on Lin Ye's side.

The remaining eight Demons tried to coordinate their retreat but were intercepted and delayed by him.

The human Star Levels unleashed their full power, aiming to annihilate this small squad of Demons.

One Star Level controlled a Demon with a Soul attack, and this Demon was instantly blown apart by Lin Ye.

The Demon's attack arrived.

However, he, with his amazing intuition, sensed it and instantly teleported behind another squishy Demon, killing it.

The human side was completely excited.

"Annihilate, annihilate."

"They all must die."

"Lin Ye, well done."

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the remaining Demons stopped retaliating and fled headlong.

Better a dead Demon than a dead self.

Although the Demons who completely abandoned organized defense were easier to kill, the goal of complete annihilation was not achieved.

In the end, three tough-skinned ones escaped.

There was nothing to be done; his teammates couldn't keep up, so they couldn't hold them.

And Lin Ye didn't dare to advance rashly.

It would be bad if he got too far from the main force and was surrounded by Demons.

After the Demons' full retreat, the human side cheered completely.

"Well done, Lin Ye."

"Good job, you actually left behind seven Demon whelps."

"A significant localized victory recently."

"We'll request commendation for you when we return."

"Let's go, I'm treating today."

Lin Ye happily accepted the enthusiastic Star Levels' praise and was surrounded by the crowd as he returned to the city.

"It's a pity three escaped; there won't be such a good opportunity next time." Lin Ye still felt a bit regretful.

"You did well enough; in the recent dozen waves of attacks, the number of Star Levels who died on both sides was less than ten."

One revealed.

Lin Ye was a little surprised.

"Yes, the first time, when we weren't familiar with each other, the casualties were quite severe, but once we got familiar, it became an open-card battle, and the losses have not been large."

It seemed understandable again.

Back in the city, the quartermaster carried the Demon heads, gleefully hanging them for display in the city center.

The rewards were naturally plentiful, but they were converted into military merits.

Military merits being open to non-military personnel was also to adapt to the current War situation.

Lin Ye's achievements before the full-scale offensive were also tallied as military merits.

A great victory naturally called for celebration.

Every Demon whelp killed meant a bit more safety for Xia Kingdom.

There were only over a thousand Middle Demons outside the city, and seven dead was already a considerable achievement.

It was a pity the leading Demon on the other side was too clear-headed; otherwise, if he had hesitated even a little, the results could have been expanded.

.......

"Balu, look at the good deed you've done." Badar angrily whipped Balu.

Balu was in immense pain but remained silent.

"Badar, rein it in, Balu is my subordinate." Deers grabbed Badar's flaming whip.

"Hmph, you saw the good deed Balu did, didn't you? What? Can't I punish him?" Badar pushed Deers away.

Deers suppressed the anger in his heart.

After all, Demons didn't have traditional superior-subordinate relationships or clear faction divisions; strictly speaking, Middle Demons all belonged to Kaxiu, and they were all on the same level.

Only he and Badar had some privileges due to their bloodline.

So he couldn't stop Badar either.

Mainly, what Balu did this time was indeed wrong.

But Balu had pledged allegiance to him, and he couldn't protect his subordinate, which was truly humiliating.

"Stop it, Badar." The succubus Tana walked over, swaying her hips.

"Tana, you have no right to order me." Badar's eyes were bloodshot.

"This is Commander Kaxiu's order." Tana said languidly, crossing her arms.

Badar snorted and dispersed his flaming whip.

Tana was Commander Kaxiu's plaything; although just a plaything, far inferior to his and Deers' status, her words still carried credibility when relaying a message.

"Thank you for Commander Kaxiu's mercy." Balu breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling on the ground and saying gratefully.

"Commander Kaxiu knows this was just an accident, so he doesn't blame you." Tana said.

Balu was naturally full of gratitude.

Having escaped a calamity, he secretly harbored hatred for Lin Ye.

Human, just you wait for me.

.......

Having delivered the message, Tana ignored the still fuming Badar and the lewdly staring Deers, returning to Kaxiu's palace.

"Commander, I have delivered the message."

Kaxiu was studying magic.

"Hmm, you may withdraw."

Tana knew that Kaxiu had no interest in her when he was researching, so she respectfully left.

After she left, Kaxiu revealed a smile.

"Good, the Souls of Demons can also please Lord Vega; it seems intensifying the War is imperative."

Kaxiu didn't care about the lives of his subordinates, as long as he completed Lord Vega's mission, everything was fine.

"Lord Vega seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough soon; it seems the progress needs to be expedited."

Kaxiu felt a sense of urgency.

Lord Vega's breakthrough was imperative, and they, his subordinates, couldn't hold him back.

If they failed to complete the mission then, they might become sacrifices.

"After Lord Vega breaks through, he will surely bring us supreme glory."

Kaxiu's heart burned with fervor.

Above the Lord Level, that was the Demon King level.

With Commander Kaxiu as his boss then, there would be nothing he couldn't accomplish.

"My dear sister, just you wait; I will definitely destroy the entire Elf Race."
