89: Charlie was fooled
However, also watching this scene was the Demon Lord Henry. He had just landed nearby on the Dark Magic Dragon. Because the Dark Magic Dragon was massive and easily spotted, he had quietly infiltrated on his own, wanting to see how the Demon race's vanguard fought against the armies of other nations on the continent.
"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?" Henry looked at Carlos at the front of the formation and said with a puzzled expression.
"Oh, that person is General Charlie's father; he just arrived here yesterday!" a nearby demon soldier explained to Henry.
"I heard he used to be a general of the Magic Empire, hahaha! Now he's come to seek refuge with our Demon race. Now everyone knows that our Demon race is the most powerful!" another demon soldier overheard their conversation and boasted to them.
"Hmph! Such a disloyal and unfilial thing, why would Jack take him in?" Henry said with eyes full of disdain.
"Why do you act like you just got here? General Jack disappeared long ago; General Charlie is the one in charge here now!" the demon soldier beside him continued to explain.
While the few demon soldiers here were chatting happily, Charlie, at the front of the formation, began to shout frantically, "It's not like that, Father! We are people of the Magic Empire, how can we surrender to the Demon race? I'm only forced to stay here; I still want to return to the Magic Empire in the future!"
"Can you still go back? Look at your hands; didn't you make your choice long ago? If you truly felt you were a person of the Magic Empire, no matter the reason, you shouldn't have accepted the help of the Demon race! Tell me, is your father right or not!" Carlos's words were gems of wisdom, overturning Charlie's understanding. Was this still his loyal and patriotic father?
"As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Alright, Charlie, don't dwell on it anymore. Now that a great enemy is before us, let's eliminate them first!" Carlos said, pointing at the people from the Magic Empire.
"Father, must it really be like this?" Charlie asked with some uncertainty.
"Look at them rushing here so aggressively; do you think they're here to invite you to dinner? They are here to eliminate the Demon race, and you are a member of the Demon race. This is war—it's either you die or I do. What is there to hesitate about? Hmph!" Carlos's words gradually took root and sprouted in Charlie's heart.
"Yes, Father is right. They are here to eliminate me; I have nothing left to explain!" Charlie finally saw the reality clearly. Whether it was to deal with Wei He before or to drag out a miserable existence, it didn't change the fact that he had already become part of the Demon race.
"Sister Neme, since we are already in different camps, let's say no more. Come!" Charlie finally said to Neme.
"Good, that's the most straightforward way. All soldiers, hear my command: execute the national traitors, Carlos and Charlie!" Neme shouted loudly.
"Yes!" the soldiers of the Magic Empire responded one after another, and then took the lead in charging, killing their way toward the Demon race's positions. The Orc Legion of the Magical Beast Empire followed closely behind; after all, they were allies now and understood the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' The Red Alert Troops, though the smallest in number, were the team with the strongest average firepower, and they also followed closely, charging into the enemy ranks.
Charlie circulated his magical power, condensing a black qi Magic Array in front of him. A pillar of black qi fire, three meters in diameter, erupted from the Magic Array. As the fire pillar swept left and right, dozens of Magic Empire soldiers were scorched by the black qi flames. The black flames covering their bodies made the soldiers wail in pain, rolling and scurrying everywhere, eventually falling to the ground, breathless, as the black flames only rose higher and higher.
Seeing that Charlie had already started, Carlos quietly hid behind him. Charlie didn't pay him any mind, focusing entirely on operating the black qi Magic Array. Carlos took advantage of his lack of attention and ran directly toward the rear until he reached the entrance of the Demons Lair. Seeing no one around, in just an instant, he transformed from Carlos into a demon soldier. It turned out this Carlos was a Spy in disguise, while the real Carlos was still lying on the ink dragon ku-bed inside the Demons Lair, completely unaware that he had already become a national traitor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Bozi Youning held the ppsh-41 submachine gun, strafing the demon soldiers frantically. The demon soldiers blocking the front were immediately riddled with bloody holes and fell to the ground, green blood flowing everywhere.
"Ya, hahahaha! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all!" Rutgar's body was twice its original size. He was swinging a pair of small hammers larger than human heads, smashing them toward the heads of the demon soldiers around him. With one hammer strike, he smashed the head of a demon soldier wearing a steel helmet, even crushing and deforming the helmet itself.
"Charlie, you national traitor, give me your life!" Neme had already leaped into the air, a white Magic Array condensing in front of her as she slashed several wind blades toward Charlie.
Charlie barely managed to dodge, but the demon soldiers around him weren't so lucky. wind blades hacked into them; losing hands or feet was considered lucky. Some were cut in half at the waist, and some had their heads split open halfway. Their deaths were extremely miserable. Green blood splashed onto Charlie's face, driving him completely insane.
"Great God of Fire, listen to my prayer—Fireball!" Charlie chanted, and black Fireballs shot out from the black Magic Array toward Neme. Unfortunately, before the Fireballs could touch Neme, they were sliced apart by the wind blades. The scattered black qi fell on the people below, instantly scorching their skin until it was a bloody mess.
"Hmph! Let you taste the power of the Death Storm!" Just as Neme finished speaking, several tornadoes emerged from the Magic Array. Carrying wind blades, they grew larger and larger, finally becoming several huge tornadoes that swirled wantonly through the Demon race's army. Countless demon soldiers were lifted high into the air, screaming. The lucky ones fell from the sky, while the unlucky ones were sucked directly into the tornadoes and ground into minced meat by the countless wind blades within.
Wei He, inside the anti-air tracked vehicle, watched Neme's ultimate move. After a moment of daze, he said, "Next time we need to make dumplings, we can ask her for help. It saves us even the meat grinder!"
After the tornadoes circled through the Demon race's army, the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers suffered heavy casualties; it was estimated that half of them were decapitated or dismembered. Finally, the tornadoes moved toward Charlie.
These tornadoes slowly approached Charlie from different directions, surrounding him in the middle. Neme looked at her masterpiece with pride, her thin lips parting slightly as she said slowly, "This time, you won't escape even if you had wings!"
Although Charlie had the enhancement of the Demon race's black qi power, he was still only an Intermediate Magician after all. Facing an ultimate move from a Magister-level magician, he knew he was no match. If he were sucked into the tornado, even if he didn't die, he would probably never be able to practice magic again in this life.
Just as Charlie was at his wits' end, he noticed a tornado on its way toward him. While other demon soldiers were being ground up and blown into the sky, one demon soldier stood motionless, as if the tornado had no effect on him. Not only could the wind not blow him away, but even the wind blades of the tornado had no effect when they struck his body, as if they were hitting diamond, without leaving a single mark.
They only hacked the demon soldier's armor to pieces; as for the scale armor beneath the plate, it was even harder than the armor itself.
