Huh? Are they all real?...

Even though the people here suffer from the corruption of the abyss, they do not despair, nor do they harbor any resentment or curses.

They only had fire, a fire burning fiercely in their hearts!

The flames couldn't burn anyone, but they tormented the demons.

The first wave of demons who charged up the wall were led down by the honor guards.

The second group of demons simply bypassed the 'icy flames' in front of them.

As highly self-centered beings, it's perfectly normal for demons to do this kind of thing.

Because of this delay, the second wave of human defenders had already surged onto the city walls.

The counterattack, which had just stopped, began to unleash its firepower again.

Such a scene naturally enraged the distant demon lord.

It raised its hands high and then slammed them down onto the ground.

A huge crack then appeared beneath it and stretched forward.

It wanted to throw the fortress directly into the ground.

Theoretically, it is indeed possible; as a Sequence 3 Demon Lord, it is a very simple operation.

But what it faced was no ordinary fortress; it was a formidable wall meticulously constructed by Roman nobles to ensure their comfortable lives.

The large crack had only advanced less than halfway before it instantly lost momentum.

Let alone creating a massive rift that could have swallowed the entire city, they couldn't even have made the rift reach the city walls.

Seeing this, the towering demon, as majestic as a mountain, suddenly clapped its hands together in front of it.

A storm of flames erupted, with endless flames sweeping forward.

Regardless of whether demons still roam, this storm of flames marches on relentlessly.

The demons fell madly into the flames like dumplings being poured into a pot.

Instead of hearing the wailing of the honor guard, they were met with their own cries of despair.

However, such a powerful flame storm was thwarted by that solid wall.

The flames destroyed the demons ahead, but they didn't even manage to turn the city walls red-hot.

The Demon Lord could easily destroy Suras, but it was not a Demon Lord; it was merely a Demon Lord.

The fortified walls built by the Roman nobles to save their lives were indeed able to stop it, in fact, if the city's own military reserves had not been exhausted by embezzlement before the catastrophe and damage during the catastrophe.

The opponent would no longer only have a theoretical chance of being killed.

What angered and humiliated it even more was that, despite its attacks capable of burning the city, not all the mortals on the city walls perished.

As the flames subsided, they fought back against themselves, still engulfed in flames.

The attacks didn't hurt it at all, but they made it feel extremely insulted.

"Anyone who dares to back down will be burned to death just like them!"

After leaving those words, the mountain-like demon launched itself into the air with both feet off the ground.

The mountain-sized behemoth inexplicably leaped to an unusually high height.

Its wings had long been torn off by Constantine, so this was the only way it could try to jump in.

However, instead of leaping directly over the height of the fortress, it began to plummet straight down after reaching a very delicate position.

Ultimately, it could only fall into the fortress amidst the enormous smoke and dust.

"Damn mortals!"

This time, it finally couldn't hold back and let out a huge roar.

The monstrous, ferocious arm swung directly towards the city wall.

This time, it almost annihilated a large number of ballistae and killed a large number of honor soldiers.

However, its hand, by slamming violently onto the city wall, triggered the blessing that had been placed upon it.

As the holy chant began, the demon lord's arms suddenly burst into flames.

The mountain-sized demon could only clutch its arm and fall backward violently.

However, before it fell, it also spat out a large amount of poisonous fire towards the city wall.

Even though the poisonous fire was quickly extinguished by the blessing of the city wall itself, the defenders who were still trying to attack it were all set ablaze by the poisonous fire.

"Charge! Charge in! Kill them! Wipe out all these damned humans!"

Urged and intimidated by the demon lord, the demons seized the opportunity and surged forward.

This time, the demons almost completely occupied the city walls, and some demons had already rushed into the city and begun to wreak havoc.

This made the demon lord feel that it was finally coming to an end.

However, first, a dragon-slaying arrow that had been waiting for it to get close suddenly shot into its chest, and then more honor soldiers stepped over the corpses of their comrades and endured the burning of poisonous fire to push back up the city wall.

The dragon-slaying arrow, which had been waiting for its arrival, failed to penetrate its defenses. Even the ballista and archer who fired the arrow were instantly wiped out by its quick reaction and swing.

But seeing the dragon-slaying arrow almost embedded in its chest, it still chose to retreat.

That's probably the last time, but how could a demon gamble with his life?

Watching the retreating demon lord, the commander, whose body was half burned, revealed immense resentment.

He pounded on the wall behind him in utter frustration.

It was so close! Just a tiny bit more!

If that's for fighting demons, not dragons.

But after a moment of reluctance, the commander still managed to suppress everything and looked behind him.

He was dying, he didn't have long to live, even though they had arranged for a successor in various circumstances beforehand.

But he was still very worried because the honor guard was almost wiped out.

At most three more rounds, and then it will be the turn of the slaves and survivors.

He trusted the Army of Honor, but he didn't know if he could trust them.

Along the way, he witnessed too many terrifying things that he initially thought were demons but turned out to be human.

So they dared to let these slaves and survivors come up with them.

They feared the other side might defect at the last minute, to the point that they couldn't even hold onto the most basic time.

But now, the honor guard is about to be wiped out, and at that time, we can only hope that they can step in.

Is this really going to work?

The commander didn't know the answer, nor did he dare to think about it. He could only drag his almost crippled body to the flagpole and continue to command.

Finally, as evening approached, the honor guards stationed here were almost all wiped out.

But the demons outside still keep coming in endlessly; the demons in the abyss are indeed not infinite.

But they had to face a demon that had taken over the entire Old World.

Looking at the roaring demons outside, the superhuman who took over command subconsciously glanced at the slaves and survivors behind him who were holding weapons.

They were timid, hesitant, and fearful.

He really wanted to ask them to come up with him.

But in the end, he said nothing, because he remembered the heads stuck in a circle, and the demon's earth-shattering words:

'That was done by you humans!'

Beside him, the last remaining honor guard soldiers silently followed, climbing up the cracked city wall.

They didn't know what the final Romans would choose.

But they can choose their own path—to die as human beings on the right thing!

Chapter 266 The Witch and the Last Ancient Dragon (3k)

The last of the honor guards stormed the city walls, even though the demon lord had ceased his attack.

But the almost endless stream of demons and their occasional attacks were pushing everything toward the worst possible outcome.

The solid walls were covered with cracks visible to the naked eye.

Nobody knows if it will really shatter completely next time.

To be honest, the newly arrived honor guards didn't even know what they were supposed to do.

Everything at the scene was completely different from what they had initially seen.

There aren't even many living people here who can tell them how they did it before.

Everything was illuminated.

They could only try their best to find a suitable place to intercept the demons.

Then he ran toward the ballista that he remembered was still firing.

But it was of little use; they were too few in number to plug the ever-growing gaps in the city walls.

He raised his hand and hurled the longsword in his hand, shattering a two-winged demon.

The superhuman who took over command immediately picked up a usable half of a spear from the ground and continued fighting.

But he also felt a sense of despair.

Can't hold on any longer.

And once despair arises, the demons become even more excited.

The demons that had been hovering in the sky involuntarily began to twitch their noses.

After a moment of disbelief, they all rushed downwards with great excitement.

Those humans have finally returned to normal!

That wall has finally disappeared!

This brought a smile to the face of the demon lord watching from afar.

It's finally coming to an end, isn't it?

Looking at the overwhelming demons descending from above.

The last remaining soldiers on the city wall sighed helplessly, then lowered their bodies and gripped their weapons tightly, preparing to face their final moment.

It's getting closer, ever closer.

They were so close that they could even see the excitement and mockery on each other's faces.

This made the veterans feel even more helpless and indignant.

It's been so long and no one has come up yet, so what exactly are they fighting for?

Before despair and grief could solidify into reality, the honor guards were stunned to see the expressions on the faces of those demons begin to change.

That was disbelief and unbearable pain?!

Then, a crossbow bolt struck the attacking demon from below, followed by a barrage of more bolts.

Although it's completely haphazard and not very accurate.

However, with such high density of both sides, accuracy is really negligible.

If you shoot upwards, you'll always hit something.

They were the slaves and survivors.

They finally came up with their weapons!

As the demons continued to fall, some still managed to reach the top of the city wall, but most of them, as before, flew towards the sky.

The emotions here make them feel as if they've fallen into a fire pit.

After plunging the broken spear into the body of an alien demon, the superhuman who took over command looked behind him with immense joy.

They are coming?!
