157: Zeke is shocked and confused by Kalis.
Seeing the two still standing motionless, Jike was anxious.
He quickly rushed over with his men, grabbed both their arms, and prepared to leave.
"Quick, while the Demon Race hasn't launched a full-scale attack, there might still be a chance!"
Chen Beixuan and Han Dapao exchanged glances, and Han Dapao quickly spoke.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing? Aren't you going to ask for our identities?"
Jike saw that the two were unmoved, and though he was burning with impatience, he had to stop to confirm.
"Oh, were you sent to the Demon Realm to infiltrate and gather intelligence?"
"Yes, what about it?" Han Dapao nodded.
"Then that's right. We will escort you to safely deliver the intelligence to the city. Stop talking nonsense, the Demon Race could attack at any moment!"
Jike was about to pull him away again when he heard the screams of the Human Race around them suddenly intensify, and he immediately realized something was wrong!
Sure enough, the scout from the front soon came scrambling back to report.
"Captain, this is bad! The knight's defense line ahead has fallen, the Demon Race has already broken through, we can't hold them back!"
Jike's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, his guards quickly supporting him.
Despair filled his heart, and he said with a trembling voice, "It's over..."
It was fine if they died in battle, but if the intelligence from the Demon Realm couldn't be delivered, it would result in the loss of an intelligence advantage in future battles with the Demon Realm.
The battlefield situation changes rapidly; a single piece of intelligence could be the key to changing the entire battle!
If this caused massive casualties for the Human Race in the future, they would be sinners!
"...Kill, we must carve out a bloody path!"
Jike took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot, his expression resolute!
The other guards also gritted their teeth, gripping their sword hilts tightly, looking as if they embraced death.
Not far away, scattered Demon Race members had already broken through the defense line, led by a demonized Silver BOSS, charging towards them!
Just then.
Chen Beixuan stepped forward, blocking their path.
Jike was shocked to see this and quickly shouted.
"Get out of the way! That's a Demon Race squad leader, you can't..."
But before he could finish speaking, his mouth instantly dropped open, his face filled with disbelief!
He saw Chen Beixuan wave his staff, his gaze fixed!
"Tornado!"
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a fierce wind swept in from all directions, forming a massive Tornado as thick as five people embracing!
The charging Demon Race members were immediately sucked into the sky. The remaining BOSS, due to its high tenacity, barely managed to stay in place with great difficulty, struggling to move.
-532154, -532245, -532314, ......
Dense damage numbers floated up like snowflakes. In just two seconds, that Silver BOSS squad leader was torn to shreds!
[Ding! You killed...]
The kill notification was cut off by Chen Beixuan before it could fully display, as he didn't want to waste time.
He waved his hand to summon a Chaos Envoy and a Beixuan Turtle to support the four directions, then turned to Jike and commanded.
"Tell your men to retreat, don't add to the casualties."
Jike heard his words and subconsciously nodded.
"Okay..."
But then he suddenly realized, he was supposed to be the captain, right?
Without time to dwell on it, he quickly sent people to call for a retreat, while observing the faceless monsters holding flaming longswords.
He saw those monsters charging into the Demon Race army, clearing out empty spaces as if cutting vegetables, massive sword qi slashing in all directions, each radiating terrifying power!
Upon seeing this, Jike couldn't help but swallow, secretly alarmed.
Was this masked guy really the scout they sent out?
The Tornado instantly killed the Demon Race squad leader, and the terrifying monsters he summoned were frighteningly strong.
This strength was probably almost on par with their City Lord...
And he was also wearing a cool outfit surrounded by lightning, making it impossible to look away.
Chen Beixuan noticed his strange gaze and couldn't help but chuckle.
Thor's Armor + Smiling Mask, at least added 9 points of hidden charm for him, directly maxing it out, making it impossible not to attract attention!
With the addition of the second batch of Chaos Envoys filling the gap, the battlefield situation quickly changed!
No matter how many Demon Race armies came, they would stop at the defense line where the Chaos Envoys were, bodies piling higher and higher, blood flowing like a river.
This obvious change quickly attracted the attention of the Demon Race generals...
......
On top of a small hill behind the Demon Race army.
Several high-ranking Demon Race BOSSes gazed at the battlefield situation, their faces showing satisfaction, and they couldn't help but praise greatly.
"Kalis, you haven't been locked up for nothing all these years, you've become even more cunning."
"Exactly, to think of using the Human Race's weakness of rescuing their comrades, specifically ambushing supporting teams, and the other side can only obediently fall into the trap, you're truly something, hahaha!"
Hearing their praise, Kalis felt no joy in his heart, only indifference.
Years of sealing and suppression had long since smoothed out his rough edges.
He had always set regaining his place among the Twelve Demon Generals as his goal, but because of the staff incident, he was completely demoralized.
Unexpectedly, Gregg's demise created an opening.
And yesterday, the Light Church suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Demon Kings Hall, causing many high-level combatants to be severely wounded, and the final spot unexpectedly fell to him.
Even now, he still had a sense of unreality, as if in a dream.
What made him even more uncomfortable was this.
Although he had returned to the Twelve Demon Generals and his strength had fully recovered, he couldn't feel happy at all.
It was like a long-held goal and obsession had suddenly been achieved, and he instantly felt lost, without any sense of direction.
Even now, with the Demon Race's situation looking good due to his strategizing, he completely didn't know the meaning of doing so.
He questioned the Demon Race's way of existence for the first time.
Invasion... what was it all for...
Who was he...
What was his ultimate goal in life...
Kalis was deeply immersed in the three major philosophical questions, unable to extricate himself.
Just then.
The exclamations of the other Demon Race generals interrupted his thoughts.
"Look, something seems to be happening over there..."
"Huh? Strange, our army was actually repelled?"
Kalis shifted his gaze and looked into the distance, his pupils instantly constricting!
"No... not repelled, something's wrong!"
"What's going on? You can see far, tell us."
The other generals looked at him with some confusion and asked.
Kalis's expression was grave, he didn't reply, his extraordinary far-sighted ability allowed him to see very clearly, cold sweat subtly breaking out on his back.
"That... that is..."
...Damn it, how is this guy here..."
Kalis instantly panicked, even subconsciously taking a step back.
The other generals noticed his abnormality, seemingly realizing the seriousness of the problem, and all put away their smiles.
"Kalis! What's wrong, what did you see?"
Kalis took a deep breath, his mood extremely solemn as he said.
...It's the Chaos Mage.
The Chaos Mage... has appeared!"
Upon hearing this, the generals were instantly greatly shaken!
