In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 629: Fierce Battle of Pests (2)

In the Demon Flame Army, Lu Yuan frowned and took out his command token.

At this moment, there was a layer of blue light flickering on the token, as if an unknown external force was affecting the token.

Following the inexplicable force, Lu Yuan looked up and discovered the evil cloud thousands of feet in the sky.

At this time, not only Lu Yuan, but also Deputy Commander Shui and the three commanders next to him noticed something unusual, but after a quick glance, they all withdrew their gazes, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately injected a trace of magic power into the token.

The token suddenly lit up, and instantly a series of ancient demonic characters flashed across it:

"All armies, march immediately into the sea of ​​insects. We must advance two thousand miles within half a day!"

Lu Yuan read the line of magic runes softly, but his eyes fell on the last strange red symbol, and his face instantly became solemn.

The red symbol represents that this order comes from the Presbyterian Church, which is the highest level of military order.

"Everyone, we just received an order to march two thousand miles within half a day." Lu Yuan stood up and gave orders to Deputy Commander Shui and the three commanders.

These three people obviously saw the order just now, but did not move at all. Lu Yuan did not think that they were waiting for his order.

Sure enough, as Lu Yuan spoke, Wen Qizi, Madam Menghua, and Chihuo instantly showed hesitation on their faces.

After exchanging glances, Madam Menghua spoke first: "Commander-in-Chief, given the current situation, it would be difficult to advance even 200 miles in half a day, let alone 2,000 miles."

"Then change the formation, focus on the Demonic Flame Burning Sky Formation, and use all your strength to activate this formation to carve out a path through the sea of ​​insects!" Lu Yuan frowned and gave a light order.

"Put the focus on the Demonic Flame Burning Sky Formation? Then our defense will be unable to take care of the entire army, and a forced advance will only result in heavy losses." Wen Qizi agreed with a frown.

"Commander-in-chief, if we want to achieve the goal of penetrating two thousand miles in half a day, we have to use the reserve force. This is not a wise move. Once we enter the depths of the sea of ​​insects, everyone will be exhausted. How can we, a few of us, possibly get out of the sea of ​​insects?" Chihuo also stood up and asked in return.

"how?"

"From what you said, are you planning to disobey the orders of this commander, or are you planning to disobey the orders of the Elders' Council!" Lu Yuan said in a cold voice, his momentum suddenly rising.

After all, if you don't follow orders, you will be the only one to take the blame when they investigate later.

Seeing this, the three commanders all looked gloomy, and finally their eyes turned to the deputy commander of the water who had not spoken a word.

"Commander Shui, what do you mean?"

Lu Yuan also looked over with a gloomy expression. He was now somewhat suspicious of the actions of the three commanders. It was very likely that this guy was trying to trip him up.

But to Lu Yuan's surprise, Deputy Commander Shui stood by his side with an expressionless face, saying calmly, "Shui has already said that he will obey the orders of the Grand Commander in everything, so he naturally has no objections. The three commanders are being too slow in delaying."

After hearing what Deputy Commander Shui said, Wen Qizi and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Deputy Commander Shui took a deep breath and changed the subject:

"However, the three commanders' concerns are not without reason. While they should obey the orders of the Elders Council, they must also consider their own safety. They are not like you, the Great Commander, who can rely on magical powers to escape from the sea of ​​insects even if their entire army is annihilated."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan, who had just felt a slight liking for Deputy Water Commander, suddenly understood. It seemed this guy was trying to avoid offending both sides and play the good guy!

"Commander Shui is right, but I don't know if you have any compromise?" Lu Yuan sneered again. In that case, don't blame me for throwing the problem to you.

"Well, Shui thinks we can follow the commander-in-chief's orders and focus on the Devil Flame Burning Heaven Formation, but that's not enough. To break in as quickly as possible, I suggest having a commander lead the elite troops as the vanguard.

The other two commanders can be in charge of the left and right wings of the central army to prevent the borers from breaking through the formation. As for Shui, I will be in charge of the rear guard. Even if there are some losses, it should be acceptable." After a few changes in his expression, Deputy Commander Shui said with a forced smile.

Hearing this suggestion, Lu Yuan's heart moved. Deputy Commander Shui's method was indeed good, but if the vanguard still did not give its full effort, it would be useless.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Okay, but this commander cannot be content to lag behind others. Let's do this. Commander Chihuo and I will be the vanguard. I hope you will work together, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" After that, demonic energy rose around him, and his eyes swept across everyone with a stern look.

Seeing Lu Yuan's resolute attitude, Wen Qizi and the other two, though still dissatisfied, did not dare to openly oppose him and immediately followed his orders and left.

Soon, the Devil Flame Army's formation shifted, and the surrounding Devil Flame swirled like a blazing torrent, crashing into the sea of ​​insects. The Devil Flame Burning Heaven Formation unleashed its full power, and the blazing flames surged like a dragon breaking through the waves, scorching the borers wherever it passed.

Even though there are countless borers ahead, there are still elite guards led by the two demon sect monks Lu Yuan and Chi Hu to take action.

Lu Yuan just made a hand gesture and summoned a blood-red magic sword and a black magic spear. The sword and spear shadows intertwined, and the void whirlwind blew, and then they rolled forward fiercely.

Chihuo next to him then took out a Ruyi sword, and giant wind blades about a foot long and blue fireballs the size of washbasins emerged from all around and shot out without hesitation.

Even with the thousands of elite guards following Lu Yuan, there was no way these borers could stop them.

Countless sword lights and blade edges appeared in front of the team, and the borers immediately turned into a blood rain and flew everywhere, and there was no way to stop it at all.

Enveloped by the roiling demonic flames, the entire army didn't pause for a moment, advancing forward at an astonishing speed. In just half an hour, the team had advanced hundreds of miles, slaying countless borers along the way.

At the same time, driven by the urgent order from the Elders Council, inscribed with a strange red symbol, the other demonic armies advanced in a mighty force towards the Insect Sea. For a moment, the Insect Sea's periphery was enveloped in a crisscross of demonic light, and the earth trembled under the footsteps of the millions of demonic troops. The entire Insect Sea was in an uproar and agitation at this massive march.

However, as time went on, due to the disparity in strength between the various legions, some teams began to become noticeably disconnected. The strong ones charged forward like sharp arrows piercing the clouds, while the weaker ones were gradually left behind.

After more than three hours, some demon legions had no choice but to switch from offense to defense due to lack of successors, desperately resisting the attacks of the moths one after another, looking like they could only hold on with great difficulty.
