Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

However, they quickly realized what had happened. The leading officer hurriedly straightened his collar, and with excitement all over his face, he clasped his fists towards the sky and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving us!"

"No need."

As the calm voice faded, a figure appeared in everyone’s sight, completely covered tightly, with a peculiar mask, a wide robe, and an exotic yet somewhat incongruous crown.

The person looked at these soldiers, all wounded, and his originally cold eyes softened a bit.

Chu Xiu always considered himself extremely selfish and egoistic. But when he saw these soldiers ready to die for strangers and their country, a surge of respect rose in his heart.

However, he didn’t get sentimental and only said, "Report the situation."

"Yes!"

The leading officer quickly conveyed the situation via sound transmission.

In the army’s plan, this area was already considered internal; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a shelter for civilians here.

But half an hour ago, a large number of Horned Demons infiltrated here, creating a breach in the outer defense line through an inside-outside attack.

Then, relying on their formidable individual strength, the Horned Demons displayed terrifying mobility, advancing to this location six kilometers away from the front line within just five minutes.

Due to the retreat of the defending troops, they had to hold firm at strongpoints, and the road ahead was unobstructed; theoretically, the Horned Demons could charge straight to the central city where the command tower was located!

However, obviously, the Horned Demons’ commander was also well-versed in military strategy, knowing that plunging in rashly would lead to isolation, especially as this place was within the domain of Green Lady.

So they steadily deployed tanks, removing each stubborn strongpoint and clearing the plants of Green Lady along the way, eliminating any area her domain could reach.

At this point, almost all nearby strongpoints had been captured, and Green Lady’s plants were burned to ash, leaving only this heavily armed mall struggling to hold on.

"The defense line collapsed too quickly. We took in some retreating warriors, but those civilians lack the mobility of the Awakened and can’t evacuate."

"Currently, there are still a whole seven shelters exposed outside the front line, with nearly thirty thousand people inside!"

"We want to reclaim lost ground, but..."

The officer didn’t continue, but Chu Xiu understood. Given the current situation, even the mall falling is just a matter of time, and taking offensive actions is simply seeking death!

"I understand." Chu Xiu nodded lightly, looking into the distance.

At this moment, the victorious Ghosts were sweeping the battlefield, greedily devouring the souls of the slain Horned Demons.

This battle directly killed over three hundred Horned Demons, and the Ghostly Legion only lost three Ghost Generals. Naturally, many Low Tier Ghosts fell, but three hundred General Tier souls fully compensated the losses and even exceeded them greatly.

Chu Xiu turned back to the officer, "Mobilize all manpower in the mall immediately and transfer all civilians from nearby shelters into the mall as quickly as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officer showed a bewildered expression, and the soldiers around him were also filled with disbelief, seemingly doubting their ears.

"Senior, that’s a full thirty thousand people! The mall doesn’t have nearly as many troops as you think; the combat power we can use is even less than the number of wounded!"

"And the nearby shelters are, on average, more than a kilometer away. Even without considering the Horned Demons, moving all thirty thousand would take at least half an hour!"

"If the Horned Demons attack midway, the losses..."

The officer could not bear to continue speaking.

Actually, he had much more on his mind. No matter how strong Chu Xiu was, judging from his aura, he was just a Heroic Spirit, and after getting stuck here, the Horned Demons with their manpower advantage would continue to send reinforcements!

This place was hosting a full thirty thousand Horned Demons!

And the ratio of High Tier combat units was despair-inducing. Just among the nearby Heroic Spirits, the ratio was eleven to five! Surely there were more than eleven Heroic Spirit Horned Demons among those thirty thousand Horned Demons! What could Chu Xiu use to hold them off when enormous reinforcements arrived?

Not to mention, the enemy’s Demigod might also make a move!

However, facing the heavy expressions of everyone, Chu Xiu only said lightly, "If left unchecked, these thirty thousand will undoubtedly die. I’ll do my best to intercept the Horned Demons and will also dispatch subordinates to assist you. Save as many as you can."

Hearing his words, the officer opened his mouth, wanting to say that if all the defense forces were dispatched, they might not even save anyone, and the stronghold might be easily breached too; then the Horned Demons would further advance to the rear, causing even more deaths!

But on second thought, didn’t he also lose control earlier and charge forward like a reckless man?

After a long pause, he sighed, "I’ll report your suggestion to the local commander, but as for the specifics, it will be up to him to decide."

Chu Xiu nodded, said no more, and his figure rose again into the sky.

Soon, Ella and Chen Yuan’s figures flew from afar.

At this moment, both of them were covered in dust, evidently having undergone a fierce battle.

"How was it?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Barely managed to push back the enemy Heroic Spirits."

Earlier, the three split into two paths, Chu Xiu supporting the most critical place while the other two helped those five Heroic Spirits.

Chu Xiu nodded and briefly explained his situation.
