General Cosette committed suicide in public.
It was not after the demons broke through the Eastern Front, but after they transferred all the ministries back to the command post and cut them off on the spot, leaving the words "try to survive as much as possible".
It was only after this that the soldiers discovered that the entire army had gathered.
It’s not that the big soldiers are stupid, but the pressure of separating the defense lines is really great. People are dying around them every day. When they come back, they set up camp and fall asleep. There are hills in the middle of the camp with tens of thousands of people. If you don’t carefully turn around and count the people leaning on them, You can't see it from your own barracks, and no one has carefully counted how many camps there are and how many people there are.
From the beginning of this day, the army was in a bit of chaos.
However, because there is a staff department in the legion, the generals will not be suddenly rejected by the demons without the general, but everyone has different opinions on the follow-up actions.
An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended to me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download yeguoyuedu.】
Most people have been completely disappointed with Lei Ming's senior management and have no plans to go back. They want to find a well-defended terrain to settle down and fulfill General Cosette's last wish. Some of them decided to form a team and run back to their hometown.
The rest still hope to return to defense.
Without the top commander, it is difficult for the three parties to reach an agreement, and the staff do not want to get involved in these matters. They are not grassroots soldiers. Looking back, they still have a future in business. However, the staff did not stop the soldiers' actions. The situation in the army was extremely dangerous at this time, and anyone who spoke out for the senior officials might be hanged.
The fifty non-full brigades struggled for more than ten days before they were able to distinguish themselves. Ten brigades were organized to go back to defend Feilei City and wait for follow-up arrangements. The staff also followed this wave.
The remaining ones, excluding those who went home to find wives, formed a group of more than 20, planning to cross the border to the destroyed mountain port next door to be self-reliant.
The terrain of the mountain port is very special. It is on a cliff to the sea. There are two sides of the land that can be attacked, and there is a mountain on the other side. The difficulty of defense is not the lowest. The advantage is that it is close to the sea. If we can stabilize our position, we may be able to welcome some floating refugees from the sea. Most of the people with boats should have fled to safer areas.
The general did not succeed in crossing the border because he felt sorry for the lives of the soldiers. Now there is no need to consider the front and rear. It is easier to just aim in one direction.
When the Destiny Star team arrived at the original station, people had already left the camp, and some of the wooden barracks that had not been demolished were still occupied by demons.
Dispose of the demonic garbage casually, search around and meet to summarize the information.
"Our estimate is good. The Second Army did not die in the battle, and there were no signs of large-scale combat before retreating. There should be a planned withdrawal."
"I followed the ruts for a while and found a lot of campfire traces to the east. Most of them should have gone east."
"There's also one in the direction of Feilei City, about 10,000 people."
"There are more to the east."
The team members reported the situation, and the captain made a decision: "Those who go west are still too loyal to the Thunder Kingdom. Let's go east."
Most forces value loyalty and will not recruit rebels, but the Church of Light is not a normal force, it is a religion. Faith and loyalty to religion are not the same thing, but are closer to the essence of personal ideals.
The Destiny Star team avoided large-scale demon groups along the way, followed the camping spot, and quickly found the remnants of the Second Legion.
When they arrived at the mountain port, the remaining troops were fighting. Due to lack of supplies, the main weapons were swords and handmade crossbows, with a small number of third-ring and very few fourth-ring mages.
It was a very tough fight.
But it doesn't matter, when the divine warrior comes, it will be dawn.
There were a lot of demons besieging them outside, and there was no formation. There might be 20,000 demons approaching the defense line intermittently. The captain did not hesitate: "Just use that move."
Destiny Star used the city-level magic Sun Gaze to attack the defenders. In front of the attack area, a burst of high-intensity light pollution that could blind the eyes passed by, and a lava moat with a length of two miles appeared in front of the camp!
The brightness of the center point of this lava moat is obviously wrong, a little white, and the rocks on both sides are still melting.
There are some demons who can fly, but in this posture, as long as the biological instinct is still there, they will know to escape.
The Destiny Star team fell in front of the formation and asked the team members to clean up the fish that slipped through the moat. The captain asked the soldiers directly:
"Who among you is in charge now?"
The effect of city-level magic is too exaggerated, especially the launch speed is much faster than military tactical magic. The people on the defense line have not recovered yet, and they stuttered in their answers: "I...our current one...doesn't seem to be there." The one who has complete control.”
"Inform the person in charge that we need to meet with everyone."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." The man who answered drove away a few people to convey the message, and directly drove the soldiers who were still in a daze out of the way.
The captain waited for a moment. The team members had completed the close-range clearance, and the team entered through the out of the way defense line.
The city is not idle either. Groups of soldiers can be seen on the road holding weapons against buildings. It seems that there are still demons that have not been eliminated.
He stood at the intersection relatively close to the defense line and waited. Soon a group of people arrived and saw that the epaulettes were the captain's.
The Lei Ming Kingdom's brigade system consists of a brigade with between one thousand and fifteen hundred people. The following is divided into five to eight squadrons, and directly above is the legion. The brigade captain is already a person who can say something about tactics.
"Master God Warrior, thank you for helping my troops. I wonder why the adults appear here?"
"During the war, our lord needs more strength. You have combat experience, but now you have nowhere to go. We are here to introduce my lord to you. I wonder how many other captains are here? Can you delay? Do you have some time?"
The face of the captain who came to greet him froze. It didn't last for a few seconds, and he quickly gave in: "Adults, please go to the temporary conference hall and wait for a while. I will find someone to inform everyone."
Captain Destiny Star said it politely, but as long as you often listen to gossip, you can make an accurate judgment - the Church of Light has no regard for humanity in order to eliminate the demons. If you ignore it completely, it is very likely that this large group of people in the city will be labeled "possibly demons". "Potential threat" label is tantamount to a death sentence.
Moreover, the hope of survival of this remnant army is indeed not high now. If they can obtain the protection of the Church of Light, it can be regarded as a way out.
To be honest, many of the soldiers who came here regretted it. The situation in the enemy-occupied areas was more complicated than imagined. If I had known this, it would be better to change jobs and become bandits and move towards the territory.
Of course I say that, but if I really want to go back, most soldiers are unwilling to turn into bandits, and it is difficult to get even half of them to leave. As a result, they are all suffering here.
Hearing that a team of divine warriors was coming, the heads of various departments quickly gathered to listen to the class.
In fact, they are all things that are familiar to the ears, and the glorious history of the Church of Light. Even those who are not believers have heard a lot of these things since they were young. After all, they are the superpowers that have saved the main world more than once. Some things do not need to be promoted by themselves.
After introducing the God of Light and the church, the key point is the arrangement: "If you are interested in getting closer to the light, we can directly set up a local parish to protect everyone. We can also use this as a basis to rescue possible survivors in the surrounding areas."
Naturally, setting up a parish was not something the captain of the Divine Warrior could say. However, the captain had already considered it clearly on the way here. The purpose of setting up a parish here was the same as protecting the remaining territory of the Thunder Kingdom. Both of them could use the coastal position to obtain marine food sources. There was no need to allocate resources from one's own home. Produce food. Moreover, these are all soldiers who have seen blood from the Border Legion. The church only needs to put in a small number of priests and priests, plus a bishop, and at most two squads of divine warriors, which is enough to withstand a fairly strong demon counterattack.
There may be some difficulties in food transportation, which can be solved by sea route.
Even if the diocese's form cannot be passed, the form of the lower-level religious orders is the same. It can insert a nail in this position and cooperate with the Leiming Diocese to control the risks in the eastern half of the Thunder Kingdom.
Even religious groups can't get through it. Using the form of rotation of God Warrior squads, there is still hope to gain a wave of believers with war experience. It is absolutely feasible and the risk is limited.
