He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Reporting, General! Liu Er from the Soldiers' Battalion has arrived!"

"Reporting, General! Black Hawk from the Assassin Battalion has arrived!"

"Reporting to the General..."

A loud voice rang out over the central square as the numbers were counted.

Despite being plagued by injuries, many of whom even struggle to stand, at this moment, as long as they can still speak,

That indomitable will, forged amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, coalesced to form an invisible pressure!

"This is what the military is like... Wow, so impressive..."

Miao Tiaojun stood on the edge of the lotus flying boat, his chubby face filled with deep shock.

He had never felt so directly that the so-called "Great Wall of Steel" was more than just a wall.

Even more so, these people before me, whose spines will never bend!

Huo Lingfei stood ramrod straight, his eyes solemn, and gave a standard military salute to those below.

Even the usually carefree and jovial Pineapple Snow fell completely silent, her expression more serious than ever before.

He looked down at the soldiers below, missing limbs, his eyes filled with admiration.

Put yourself in their shoes; imagine if you had suffered such severe injuries, enduring excruciating pain day and night.

He didn't know if he could be as strong as them, or even maintain the will to fight.

But it is precisely because of these predecessors, and countless others like them, that a defensive line was built with their own flesh and blood.

Only he, and the hundreds of millions of compatriots behind him, can enjoy peace and tranquility.

"Whoosh—"

Zhu Qingqing's cool and aloof face was solemn. She straightened her body and gave a military salute to the dark mass of people below.

She knew all too well that the cruelty here was far more severe than the battlefield of "First Heaven" that she had experienced.

"Boss, it's all up to you now..."

Canglong shifted his gaze from the tragic heroes below to Lu Chen, who stood in mid-air.

He knew that the hope of giving these people a new life lay with his boss.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened!

"boom--!!"

A chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from Hua Xiyu!

A layer of frost instantly covered her beautiful face, and a raging fire ignited in her gentle eyes.

Even the aura around her became incredibly sharp, as if it could pierce the sky!

"asshole!!!"

"Demons—Kill them all!!!"

At the same time, Hua Zhanyue's longsword hummed and automatically drew half an inch from its sheath.

The sharp sword energy burst forth uncontrollably from his body.

His eyes were icy cold, fixed intently on the crowd below!

Because among the densely packed wounded, they saw several familiar faces.

Those were clansmen from the Hua family sent to the border for training!

Seeing their family members in such a miserable state, how could the matriarch of the family and the genius of the clan not be furious?

Hatred for the demons who caused all this instantly surged to its peak!

"call--"

Lu Chen took a deep breath.

Looking down at the upright figures below, he felt as if a huge rock was lodged in his chest, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

His fists clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deep into his palms.

Demons... those beasts!

Given the chance, he will definitely exterminate them completely! Leave not a single one alive!

Especially the Demon Spider...

His goal of upgrading his missions will start with these!

Lu Chen made a vow in his heart.

However, the atmosphere in the square below soon changed.

"Wait a minute, where's General Shangguan?"

"Who are those two brats up there???"

"Damn it! Where did that old man Shangguan go? He called us all out to assemble, but where are his own men???"

After recovering from their initial shock, the soldiers began looking around for Shangguan Zheng, who had issued the order.

But after looking around, they couldn't find the figure of the usually stern, white-haired old general.

In the sky, there were only two seemingly young "rascals" and several stunningly beautiful women on the lotus flower beside them.

"Hey! You two brats in the sky!"

An old man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, his trousers hanging loosely in the wind, with only one arm.

He pointed at Lu Chen and Shangguan Zheng with his arm, his voice loud and stern.

"Which department are you from?! Don't you know that flying freely over the defense line is prohibited?! Get down here right now!"

The young-looking Shangguan Zheng's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Those bastards!

Do their eyes even grow on their butts?!

You can't even recognize me?!

Lu Chen's originally heavy and indignant mood was somewhat dispelled by this sudden reprimand.

Seeing Shangguan Zheng's embarrassed expression, I couldn't help but twitch my lips slightly, and I almost burst out laughing.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf or mute?!"

Below, several more hot-tempered veterans joined in the shouting.

"How did Old Man Shangguan teach you all? You don't know any manners at all!"

Here, in front of comrades who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, there is no such thing as being "superior".

They felt something was wrong, and even Shangguan Zheng himself dared to give him a good scolding to his face.

Of course, this does not prevent them from always being at the forefront and fighting the hardest during every demonic attack.

"Shut up, all of you!!!"

Shangguan Zheng finally lost his temper, gathered his energy in his dantian, and let out a deafening roar!

The square fell silent for a moment.

"That voice... sounds like General Shangguan's?"

"Why would he dress up like a young kid? Is he cosplaying?"

"Does the general have some kind of unusual fetish?"

The soldiers whispered amongst themselves, their gazes toward Shangguan Zheng filled with strange curiosity.

"That old scoundrel Shangguan!"

The one-armed old man with the cane had the worst temper; he pointed his cane at the younger version of Shangguan Zheng's nose and started cursing.

"Did a demon kick your brain, or did you get your brain slammed in a door?!"

What are you doing, disguising yourself inside the defensive line?!

Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?!

Another old man, who only had one eye left and a huge scar on his face, also cursed:

"Exactly! Look at you, you look like a student, what are you pretending to be young for?!"

How disgusting is that?!

Are you feeling pampered by first love and want to go out and deceive naive young girls?!

"Old man Shangguan, I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

"Damn it, Shangguan Zheng! You old bastard who's neither fish nor fowl!"

"If you don't want to be a general, then resign and get the hell out of here! Don't embarrass yourself!"

The insults became increasingly sharp and offensive.

These old brothers who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood with Shangguan Zheng showed him no respect whatsoever.

On the battlefield, military orders are absolute, and they will not hesitate to take a knife for the enemy.

But in their daily lives, they can curse however they want, even spitting on your face!
