At the border of the Hesse Kingdom, more than 800,000 troops gathered. On a vast expanse of land, military camps stretched out like mountains as far as the eye could see, and this massive army was neatly arranged in an orderly manner.

  In front of the barracks was a vast and empty no-man's land.

  "Hey, Uncle Rent, if the beast army attacks, can we hold on?" a low-voiced youth wearing armor who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old said.

  Next to him was a robust man with a large beard, who pulled out a small wine bottle from his bosom and took a light sip. He laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, this time not only has the elite squad of our Hesse Kingdom come, but even the Holy See of Light has sent over their Sacred Knights, and there are many magician masters... so you can rest assured. The magic of these magician masters is quite formidable."

  "Alright." The young man was on his first battlefield, and hearing the old soldier's words, he felt a bit more at ease.

  But the sturdy man next to him secretly sighed, because he was one who had truly experienced the ferocity of the demons. Tens of thousands of demons charged over, and human resistance was just a matter of using lives to fill the gap.

  "Roar!!!"

  Suddenly, a low and solemn voice came from an extremely distant place.

  "Uncle Lant, I think I heard something?" The young man said nervously.

  "It's nothing." Lante said casually, but suddenly he also stared with wide eyes towards the south. At the end of a vast and desolate land, dense tiny dots suddenly appeared.

  "Monster, monster horde!"

  Another place in the camp suddenly echoed with a shrill cry, and the whole camp was immediately stirred up. From the highest commander of the army to the lowest soldier, everyone was on high alert at once.

  In fact, this army of 800,000 is ready for battle at any moment.

  "Good, good many!" Not a few human soldiers saw the magic beast in the distance and took a breath of cool air. They saw that in the distance, row upon row of muscular 'Bloodthirsty Iron Bulls' were running towards them at high speed.

  There were tens of thousands of bloodthirsty iron bulls.

  "Rumble rumble~~~~" The bloodthirsty iron bull went on a rampage, the entire earth shook, every bloodthirsty iron bull's eyes turned red, and flames burst out from their bodies.

  At first glance, it looks like an ocean of fire.

  The earth shook violently, and the sea of flames was boundless.

  "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"... Suddenly, a series of pale green, almost transparent javelins appeared in the sky, shooting towards the bloodthirsty Iron Bull group.

  "It's the Great Magicians." Many human soldiers were overjoyed in their hearts.

  "Pffft." Each of the spear guns had an astonishingly large power, and as a branch of the water system 'ice system' magic, it was most effective against this fire system magical beast.

  A spear of ice or pierced the earth, or pierced the body of the bloodthirsty iron bull. "Pffft!" Some icy javelins directly pierced the internal organs of the bloodthirsty iron bull, and the bloodthirsty iron bull let out a loud bellow as it ran a few steps before crashing to the ground.

  One by one, the bloodthirsty iron bulls died, but the vast majority of them continued to run wildly, even if they were slightly injured. This would only make the bloodthirsty iron bulls more frantic.

  Fresh blood suddenly stained the earth red.

  "Rooooaaaar!!" The Bloodthirsty Iron Bulls bellowed.

  "Archers, ready... Fire!" The officers shouted loudly.

  Suddenly, arrows shot into the sky at an angle, and then countless arrows filled the sky densely, falling from the sky in a dense manner.

  Sharp arrows fell from the sky, shooting at the bloodthirsty iron bull. However, the bloodthirsty iron bull's bulging muscles easily withstood the sharp arrows.

  The methods humans use to deal with human armies don't work on Bloodthirsty Iron Bulls.

  "Heavy infantry, form phalanx."

  One by one, sturdy warriors wearing thick and heavy armor emerged, each holding a steel long spear, forming an array on the spot, quietly waiting for the bloodthirsty iron bull's attack.

  "Roar~~" The bloodthirsty Iron Bulls charged over with red eyes.

  Countless steel spears greeted the bloodthirsty iron bull, which lowered its head and charged forward with a loud bellow, striking the spears with the ferocity of a bursting dam.

  "Pffft." The Bloodthirsty Iron Bull was directly pierced by the steel long spear.

  Capable of serving as a heavy gunner, at least a third-class warrior. Plus each warrior's body relies on the interlocking formation of dog teeth, borrowing strength from each other to help each other.

  The first batch of Blood Iron Bulls did not break through the defensive formation, but the ones in the back continued to charge forward desperately.

  The battle between the demon army and the human army was extremely fierce. The demon army not only had bloodthirsty iron bulls, but also packs of wolves, and even more terrifying elite fire lions, as well as earth dragons and swift dragons... However, the human army was not weak either.

  It's not just the ordinary troops on the surface, some powerful mages haven't really made a move yet, and there are also seventh-level, eighth-level, and even several ninth-level mages from the Holy See. There is also an elite corps of holy knights... The battle was fierce, the demon army and human army clashed for three days, and in the end, the human army had to retreat. In just three days, more than 300,000 human troops were killed, and the number of wounded was staggering.

  The demonic army also suffered heavy casualties.

  Whether it was the demonic army or the human army, they all tacitly avoided using the Sanctuary's strongmen. The strongmen of the Sanctuary simply watched from a distance without taking action.

  Hess City is in chaos.

  The border war, the human army retreated a hundred miles in one breath. The distance to Hesse City is already very close, and many people in Hesse City have begun to decide to flee north again.

  Herschel City, the quiet mansion where Lin Lei resides.

  "Yale, we're leaving right away, hurry up and don't waste any more time," Monroe scolded. "I reckon the human army won't last for a few days, and the war will spread to Hesse City."

  Yale nodded: "I know, Father."

  "But Lao San... " Yale was still worried about Lin Lei, and the two men beside him, Reno and George, were also very anxious.

  Munro Dawson frowned: "So, you go and persuade him again. No matter what, we must set out tonight." Having said that, Munro Dawson turned around and left.

  Yale, Reno and George exchanged a look.

  In the end, all three of them walked towards Lin Lei's residence. When they reached the back door, they saw Lin Lei sitting in a chair beside a stone table, quietly staring at the flat knife in his hand.

  Yale, Reno and George did not show any surprise at this scene.

  They had also placed a flat knife and sculptures here in an attempt to awaken Lin Lei. However, Lin Lei didn't have any thoughts of carving at all.

  "Heihou style." Lin Lei recalled the scenes of his grandfather De Lin teaching him how to carve in the past.

  Still remember, when Master Deling first taught himself the Pingdao School, he was full of vigor and spirit. At that time, Master Deling had a kind of grandmaster-like demeanor.

  "Old Three." Yale walked directly over.

  Lin Lei raised his head and took a glance, squeezed out a faint smile, but didn't say anything.

  "Lao San, the demonic beast army has broken through the border. The human army is now retreating a hundred miles away. It's only a matter of time before Hesi City falls, we must leave." Yale said seriously.

  "Want to go?" Lin Lei was stunned for a moment, "Oh, I see."

  Seeing Lin Lei's appearance, the most irascible Renuo grabbed Lin Lei's collar and stared at his eyes, roaring: "Old three, what's wrong with you? You tell me! How did you become like this? I used to admire you the most, and I often bragged about it. But now, look at you, what have you become?"

  "Admire me?"

  Lin Lei said with a sneer, "What's there to admire?"

  "I've heard Yale's words, you have a grudge against Clyde, and you dare to kill him recklessly. You're bold enough to take responsibility for your actions, as your brother, I admire you. But now? You say you killed Clyde and his gang, and also the high-ranking executive of the Church of Light, isn't this something to be proud of? How did you become like this?" Reno said angrily.

  George beside him suddenly frowned.

  "Old Three!" George suddenly roared at Lin Lei.

  Renault and Yale looked at George in confusion, Lin Lei also looked at George.

  "Lao San, why did you want to kill those six high-ranking officials?" George asked abruptly. Suddenly, he realized... even if Lin Lei killed Clyde, the Vatican's high-ranking officials didn't have to kill Lin Lei for this.

  After all, Clyde is no longer a king nowadays.

  "They want to kill me." Lin Lei said in a low voice.

  "Why did they want to kill you?" George had a feeling that he had touched on the reason for Lin Lei's decadence.

  "It was the Holy See of Light that killed my mother." Lin Lei said calmly.

  Yale and Reno were shocked beside him, but George's eyes lit up and he roared: "The Illuminati killed your mother, but why didn't you avenge her? Are you afraid?"

  "Not taking revenge?"

  These three words struck Lin Lei like a bolt of lightning.

  "Yes, it's the Bright Church." Lin Lei's originally dull eyes gradually lit up.

  "If it weren't for the fact that the Temple of Light always seeks pure souls to offer to the Lord of Light, Clyde wouldn't have sent my mother to the Temple of Light, ultimately leading to her death."

  "If it weren't for my mother's death, my father wouldn't have died either."

  "If my parents were still alive, how would I seek revenge? And why would Grandpa Derin die because of it? Moreover, Grandpa Derin also died to help me deal with the six Special Class Executors."

  Lin Lei's heart was filled with hatred.

  "Everything is the Radiant Throne!!! Radiance, radiance, haha, is the Radiant Throne still radiant? If they are radiant, why do they kill people with pure souls and offer them as sacrifices to the Lord of Radiance?" Lin Lei's heart was filled with resentment.

  The means of Guangming Temple is too vicious.

  It was precisely this vicious means that led to a series of tragic consequences, and I myself was one of them.

  "Boss." Beibei's expression turned gloomy as he saw Lin Lei, worried that Lin Lei would act impulsively. He transmitted his voice spiritually, "Boss, Grandpa De Lin told you before he passed away to live a good life."

  Lin Lei's heart skipped a beat.

  Grandpa De Lin's last words when his soul was scattered, how could Lin Lei forget.

  "Bei Bei, don't worry, I won't be reckless again. I will endure... What I need to deal with is the Radiant Church, not a single individual. I still have some self-awareness." Lin Lei's eyes became resolute once more.

  Yale, Reno and George saw Lin Lei's expression and eye changes, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

  In the past, Lin Lei always had a dispirited and listless appearance, never having eyes as firm and resolute as they are now.

  "Yale's oldest, second and fourth, I've decided to leave first." Lin Lei made the decision in an instant.

  "Lao San, you..." Yale Three were shocked.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Lei smiled and gave each of his three brothers a punch on the chest, and all three of them from Yale burst out laughing. Seeing Lin Lei like this, they also felt at ease.

  Wearing a warrior's attire, carrying a heavy black sword on his back, and with Beibei standing on his shoulder, Lin Lei set off alone.

  Leaving the chaotic Hes City, Lin Lei headed east and after half a day's journey, he arrived at the edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Looking out at the endless expanse of the mountain range, a smile appeared on Lin Lei's face.

  "Vatican of Light, wait for it, one day I will uproot you all." Lin Lei's eyes were firm and determined.

  Lost father, lost mother, lost Grandpa Delin.

  Now Lin Lei can only rely on himself for everything.

  "Boss, are we going to cross the Monster Mountain Range?" Beibei asked in confusion.

  "No," Lin Lei smiled and shook his head. "First go to the core of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, then proceed northward within the mountain range until you reach the end."

  "That's over ten thousand miles!" Beibei was shocked. "And what's more, the core area is full of fierce magical beasts." Beibei was shocked that Lin Lei actually wanted to advance over ten thousand miles in the Magical Beast Mountains.

  "If not like this, how can I cultivate? The true way to use the heavy sword, I have yet to comprehend. Without even comprehending the heavy sword, what qualifications do I have to deal with the Church of Light?"

  Lin Lei immediately set out on foot and entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, which also marked the beginning of his longest and most arduous cultivation journey from childhood to adulthood...
