"A psychic attack?"

At the moment of seeing the Mind Line, Sin Fire knew things had gotten troublesome.

Firstly, no Sequence could possibly form such a Mind Line, at the very least, it would be a Transcendent above the Law Level.

Secondly, considering the previous instant assassin and the two constantly cloning Demigods, if this one was also a Demigod... that would make it three.

Being besieged by three Demigods simultaneously was an inescapable death trap. Of course, the three hadn't formed a real siege yet; for instance, the constantly cloning Demigod hadn't focused his attacks on him.

In other words, if there were indeed three Demigods on the opposite side... then this might be the last chance to escape.

Thus, the question became "should I risk falling here to continue the defense?"

The answer was obvious.

After launching another indiscriminate psychic attack to repel the surrounding enemies, Sin Fire suddenly soared into the sky, turning into a streak of black light, fleeing eastward without looking back.

The Azure Longsword members: ???

This guy ran away quite decisively; we hadn't even shown our full strength, and he had already sensed something was off and fled.

"Aske, should we pursue?" Eleanor flew to Aske's side and asked.

According to the original plan, since Eleanor's flight speed wasn't very fast, Mia was to use high-frequency instant clashes to gradually force the opponent over here.

Medea would then use the all-pervasive Mind Line to compel the opponent to maintain Domain and Body Conceptualization.

Finally, Eleanor and Miel would execute a dual close-range/long-range attack to break the fortress's Demigod power in one swoop.

Now, with the plan only halfway through, the opposing Demigod had realized something was wrong and fled, which in a way, achieved the goal... though Eleanor hadn't had a chance to show her full power, feeling a slight sense of disappointment.

It was supposed to be a golden radiance soaring through the dark storm...

Aske glanced at her subtly, seemingly sensing her disappointment, and nodded:

"Pursue!"

"Pursue? Ah..." Eleanor was momentarily at a loss; she had just asked casually and didn't expect Aske to agree immediately.

"The original plan was to kill, and yet he ran away, what kind of prestige is that?" Aske turned to Mia who had instantly appeared beside him, "Catch up!"

As everyone pursued, the storm that had enveloped the fortress gradually subsided.

Those observing in the distance exchanged looks of confusion. What happened? Did the opposing Demigod neutralize the Skill effect?

Soon, everyone was horrified to discover that it wasn't just the storm; even the faint aftershocks of the battle had disappeared.

Wait a minute, could it be that His Highness fell in battle against the opposing Demigods?

If it were an internal power struggle, making snide remarks against His Highness wouldn't be a big deal; after all, everyone had looked into the Azure Longsword members, and His Highness had a proper character even during the Weisbach Family period, not known for being a bloodthirsty tyrant.

But if he were to fall, the overprotective Giant Dragon family, especially the Emperor known for his narrow-mindedness, would retaliate against the large Mercenary Groups present, and that was an uncertainty.

"What are you worried about!" Seeing the other leaders at a loss, like mourning, the Bull Mercenary Group's Great Captain Deslar, who had come personally, said, "There's not even a sign of a tragic fall. What are you worried about? Go and fetch His Highness back!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" The leaders snapped back to reality and quickly went to assemble the various mercenary squads and prepared to launch the attack.

Thus, the Crusaders on the southwest route activated their war machine, roaring towards the fortress.

However, until they pushed inside the fortress, the mercenaries didn't encounter any significant resistance.

There weren't the expected Demigod attacks, nor did they come across the Azure Longsword members, encountering only some small-scale, residual resistance from Seljuk Transcendents.

"Where's the Azure Longsword!" After smashing a small group of Seljuk troops again, the mercenaries grabbed the remaining prisoners and shouted questions.

The Seljuk soldiers babbled a lot of incomprehensible words.

"Find a prisoner who can speak Sirius!"

A Seljuk officer who could speak Sirius was quickly pulled out, nodding and bowing ingratiatingly, but when asked about the "Azure Longsword," he had no answers.

It wasn't until they asked about the Demigod stationed at the fortress that he confessed with a cry that the Lord had already abandoned the city and fled eastward, with several Demigod Lords from the Crusaders on their tail.

Oh, they chased them. The mercenaries nodded in satisfaction, but who were these "several Demigod Lords"?

Several Demigod Lords... Azure Longsword?!

...

Sin Fire transformed into a stream of light fleeing ahead, with the Azure Longsword members giving chase closely behind.

Without the need for an ambush, everyone was not hiding their strength, unleashing their Spirituality and Skills in pursuit.

Judging by the strength of Spirituality, the Crusaders indeed had dispatched enough five Demigods, frightening Sin Fire into a life-and-death escape, imagining whether the entire high-end power of the Crusaders was after them.

Deceptive! Too deceptive! It was heard the Crusaders split into two routes, the northwest led by the Church Court-Divine Luo's army, stronger in power; the southwest composed of various large Mercenary Groups, weaker in power, allowing him to guard the front-line fortress without worry.

Unexpectedly, the opponent secretly shifted power, deploying five Demigods secretly to the southwest front, attempting to break through him!

If he hadn't sensed something was wrong and fled decisively, he would have likely fallen already!

As a Demigod, Sin Fire's movement speed was far from slow, but even after flying for half an hour, he hadn't shaken off the pursuers, making him increasingly anxious.

After some time, the central fortress of the Thrace Mountain, Nigrita, became visible, guarded by another Demigod, "Scripture Scroll Blade."

Though two Demigods combined certainly couldn't match the five Crusader Demigods, everyone knew, "I don't need to be faster than the enemy; I just need to be faster than you", so Sin Fire instinctively charged toward Nigrita Fortress.

Seeing streaks of light rushing from the sky, the Seljuk soldiers at Nigrita Fortress quickly reported to the higher-ups, and so Scripture Scroll Blade also ascended on a Flying Carpet, directly greeting Sin Fire.

"Sin Fire? You're..."

"Run!" Sin Fire shouted from afar, embedding the words with Mind Power into his mind, "Five Demigods from the Crusaders, impossible to resist! We must quickly gather the other Demigods to stand a chance!"

Upon hearing "five Demigods," Scripture Scroll Blade nearly fell off the Flying Carpet in shock. The Church certainly couldn't muster five Demigods, so Olympia City and Sirius' Orthodox Church must have struck an agreement, deploying many Demigods entirely on the Crusaders' side!

Although in a life-and-death national war, deploying all available Demigods was expected, Seljuk didn't expect it to happen so swiftly—as if on a gambling table, without even observing the hands or calculating cards, the opponent had gone all-in on the first round, indicating that the Christians were already on the brink of madness.

Must notify the Emperor in Constantinople immediately!
