Taking advantage of the situation, the Kingdom of Orantia launched a counterattack.

However, two days later came back news of a crushing defeat.

Although the Divine Purification Array prevented the Great Demon Lilith from showing herself, it had little impact on the other Great Demons.

After the defeat of the Demon Clan's Third Legion, the Great Demon Clan's Kushudan immediately led the Demon Clan's Sixth Legion to its aid.

After defeating the army of the Kingdom of Orantia, they did not give up. The demons gathered two legions and launched a full-scale attack on the City of Dawn.

If the Demon Clan's target is Dawn City, then there's no need to worry. Dawn City, as the front line, is heavily fortified with numerous powerful warriors, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even if the demons gather two large legions, they will not be able to conquer Dawn City in a short period of time.

However, the demons don't play by the rules at all.

Taking advantage of the gap in Dawn City's passive defense, they bypassed Dawn City and rushed into the heart of the Kingdom of Orantia, heading towards the major fortresses with clear division of labor.

At this point, even a fool could see that their goal was to destroy the Divine Purification Arrays in the major fortresses, creating an environment for Lilith, the Demon Lord who would restore the Demon race, to unleash her power.

Little did they know that they had fallen into the trap set by the Kingdom of Orantia.

The Divine Purification Array is not just aimed at Lilith, but at all demons.

What the demons saw was all a performance that Karina deliberately put on for them.

The City of Dawn also feigned defeat, letting them into its heartland, waiting for the opportune moment to activate the Chain Divine Purification Array and annihilate the two demon legions in one fell swoop.

If successful, she will create a great achievement that will be remembered in history.

But are the demons really that stupid?

Kassel.

On the eighth day after Keltia's arrival, the demons attacked.

Count Lawrence immediately summoned all the strongmen in Cassel to defend the city.

Wim was also drafted.

"grandfather…"

Jenna stood at the door, her eyes filled with worry as she watched Wim, clad in armor and carrying a long sword, leave.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wim will be fine."

Ron came up from behind and comforted him.

Jenna sniffed, then turned around and saw Ron also wearing armor. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Mr. Victor, are you going too?"

“Yes,” Ron smiled and patted her head. “I have to guard the defensive array set up by Princess Karina. If the demons lurking in Kassel destroy the array, all our efforts will be in vain.”

Janna lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes: "Janna will stay home and wait for you to come back."

“Great,” Ron praised.

He then resolutely turned and left.

He did not receive a summons from the lord; it was all his own doing.

When the demons attacked, he knew his chance had come.

This also indicates that time is running out; he must get there before the demons invade...

Destroy the city's purification array!

Chapter 37 Who Destroyed the Divine Purification Array?

Hearing the sounds of fierce fighting in the distance, Ron walked into a dark alley.

When he emerged from the alley, he had transformed into the appearance of Earl Lawrence.

He went straight to Earl Lawrence's castle.

"Your Excellency."

When the guards in the castle saw him, they all bowed and saluted.

"Master, why are you back?"

The old steward of the lord's manor looked at Ron, who had transformed into Lawrence, with suspicion. He wondered, "Didn't the master just leave to gather everyone to fight against the demons? How come he's back so soon, and his clothes have changed too?"

“Take me to the woman in the shackles of slavery.” Ron mimicked Lawrence’s tone, offering no further explanation and getting straight to the point.

"Yes."

Although the old butler found it strange, he still did as Ron ordered.

Three minutes later, Ron, led by the old butler, arrived at the dungeon beneath the castle.

As Ron stepped into the dungeon, a dark, damp, musty smell mixed with the sour stench of rust instantly filled his brain, causing him to frown.

Deep in the dungeon, he met the war slave who had been captured after he reported him.

She was tied to an iron chair, her exposed skin covered in wounds, her violet hair matted with blood, and her head drooping heavily. She looked to be in terrible condition.

Without hesitation, Ron took out a bottle of blood he had prepared beforehand from his pocket, pried open her mouth, and poured it in.

"master……"

The old butler, who was standing nearby, was about to say, "It's no use doing this. Even if that woman is beaten to the point of death, she won't drink what they feed her," when he saw the woman's throat gurgle and move.

"Uh…"

The old butler was stunned.

It's a ghost story.

They tried to feed this woman, but she would stick her tongue against her esophagus and refuse to swallow.

Why is she now acting like a lioness who has been parched for a long time and is frantically demanding things?

In order to drink the unknown liquid, they even raised their heads and swayed with the medicine bottle.

The old butler looked at Ron, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

He really wanted to ask Ron what he was being fed.

But Ron's focused expression made him hesitant to speak.

The liquid in the bottle was soon emptied, and as the bottle was pulled away, the purple-haired woman showed an expression of lingering satisfaction.

At this moment, her information was presented in Ron's eyes.

Name: Beatrice

Race: Human

Age: 19

[Level: LV.56]

[Affiliation: Bruveman Empire (War Slaves)]

[Growth Talents: Physical (B), Strength (C), Energy (A), Speed ​​(B), Vitality (B)]

As a vial of blood was fed, the words "Bruveman Empire" on the faction list gradually dimmed and eventually changed to "Kingdom of Lach".

This is the nature of war slaves: whoever gives them blood to drink has the right to dominate them.

“Beatrice,” Ron called her name.

Hearing her name called, Beatrice slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at Ron.

Prolonged fasting had left her pale and emaciated, with sunken eyes and a hazy, grayish pupil that looked as if covered by a thin layer of ice.

Although the master has changed, her own thoughts are still imprisoned.

Ron raised his hand and reached out.

"Sir, you can't pick it."

The old butler hurriedly tried to dissuade them, but it was too late.

Ron had removed the magic-suppressing collar from her neck.

As magic surged into her body, Beatrice's aura continued to rise.

Seeing this, the old steward knew in his heart that it was all over.

He tried to pull Ron away to escape, but Ron shook off his hand.

"Come with me."

Ron gave her orders.

He then turned and left.

Just as the old butler was wondering what had gotten into his master today, he heard a crisp clanging sound.

The iron chain, about the thickness of a thumb, was severed by magic and fell to the ground.

Then the woman stood up and quickly caught up with Ron.

The old butler stood there, stunned, watching the two leave.

……

"Phoenix has appeared in the sky to the left! Mage, provide support!"

On the watchtower, Count Lawrence was doing his best to command 4000 soldiers in Kassel.

The demons' offensive crashed against the walls of Kassel like a tidal wave, their claws and demonic flames scraping against the stone walls, sending up blinding sparks.

Wim's longsword had already cleaved through countless demons that charged up the city walls; his left shoulder armor was burned through, revealing a bleeding old scar.

"A crack has appeared in the east wall! The demons are about to break through! Stop them!" Earl Lawrence roared, his eyes bloodshot.

The demons' massive invasion was undoubtedly a reckless act.

If the Kingdom of Orantia can withstand the first wave of attack and wait for the reinforcements from the Bruveman Empire to arrive, then the Dawn Capital can cut off the demons' retreat and form a pincer movement, making the demons like fish on a chopping board.

Earl Lawrence understood this principle.

Can……

The number of demons attacking is too great, and Kassel's forces are on the verge of collapse.
