Soon, Elliot reported the current situation of Rockville City to Hobert in detail. As Hobert had guessed, the enemies attacking the city were indeed the Beyonders from the Feynapotter Empire and the Intis Republic.

The time Hobert spent on advancement and competing for uniqueness gave them time to transfer forces to the Southern Continent.

Even with the support of the entire Balk family, the enemy's Beyonder forces still had a huge advantage. According to Elliot's observation, there were at least eight demigods among the enemies, while the Balk family only had four.

Fortunately, the enemy has not dispatched angel-level power yet, so the Balk family is currently only shrinking their defenses and resisting near the Governor's Mansion.

This news silenced everyone again, meaning that at least four more demigods and corresponding forces had to be sent to Rockville City.

But if that were the case, the forces on the decisive battlefields here would definitely not be enough.

"Rockville City cannot be lost!" Hobert said calmly, "Our light industrial base is behind this city."

He took a deep breath and said, "Malva, go and gather all the power of the Tony family!"

Malva, with her sharp-edged face, was a little surprised, but immediately said, "Yes!"

Angus, Hobert's confidant, couldn't help but ask, "Duke, are you going to let the Tony family support Rockville City too?"

Malva and the others wanted to ask this question, but their relationship with Hobert was not as close as Angus, Helen, and Elliot, so they felt it was not appropriate for them to ask.

Hobert replied: "I just suddenly thought that the timing of this raid by Feysac and Intis is problematic. Let Malva gather people and prepare to resist the impact of the "Rose School of Thought" Beyonders."

Everyone immediately realized that this was indeed the case. They didn't attack sooner or later, but launched an attack when the Southern Balam Duchy was preparing for a decisive battle and all its forces was dispatched, which definitely had a secret cooperation or connection with the "Rose School of Thought".

Angus was slightly stunned. In the past, when encountering such situations, Hobert would explain it to everyone first, but why didn't he explain it today? Did he cause everyone to misunderstand?

After Malva and the other demigods of the Tony family left, Hobert said to Helen again: "Go and gather people, and send someone to notify Jonathan to let the Theosophy Council participate in the war.

"As long as the council members who come to intercept the "Rose School of Thought" today will be official Beyonders, but only before 2:00 PM, and the organized forces must be put into the battlefield in batches. The first batch of support must be in place within 15 minutes."

The beautiful and charming Helen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The entire Theosophy Council will participate in the war!"

The current members of the Theosophy Council dream of becoming official Beyonders, but Hobert has been restricting their joining, fearing that they will bring too many unstable factors to his forces

But now he can't take care of so much, he must first urgently recruit a group of forces.

Just after talking with Helen, Hobert suddenly looked to the northeast. With a wave of his hand, the boundary between the real world and the spirit world suddenly fell into a state of "Disorder", revealing the scene in the spirit world.

In the spirit world, a large number of "Rose School of Thought" Beyonders were exposed in front of the phalanx formed by the Tony family's Beyonders.

Seeing that their surprise attack was detected, they immediately left the spirit world and rushed towards the Tony family's Beyonders.

Hobert said to Angus: "Go and gather the members of the Tudor family and join the war immediately!"

With the participation of Angus and others, the attack of the "Rose School of Thought" was temporarily resisted.

The extraordinary melee spread across several hills, and the battle was fierce from the beginning.

Basically, everyone who could be sent out had been sent out, and only a Beyonder named Dophis remained beside Hobert.

This was the captain sent by the "Temperance Faction" to serve Hobert, but because this was a civil war in the Southern Balam Duchy, and because Hobert's forces was relatively abundant, Hobert did not intend to cooperate with the "Temperance Faction".

Hobert looked at the battlefield in front of him and asked Dophis: "Do the members of the 'Temperance Faction' hope to obtain the status of official Beyonders?"

"Now the members of the team like the status of official Beyonders very much, but it is hard to say about other members," Dophis said truthfully.

This is because the extraordinary team of the "Temperance Faction" lacks the experience of a large-scale extraordinary war.

Just like Angus and Helen's team back then, it was only after experiencing a Beyonder war that the members of the Tudor family and the Demoness of Pleasure saw the hope of advancement and the guarantee of death or injury, so they were very willing to join the official Beyonders.

Hobert thought for a while and said: "You send someone to ask Miss Sharron for help, and say that if they can send three demigods and no less than 60 Beyonders to Rockville City before 2:00 PM, I will give Sharron a 'Disciple of Silence' Beyonder characteristic."

Dophis's scalp tingled: "Disciple of Silence"! Sequence 3 characteristics! This reward is enough for three demigods to sell their lives!

"I will send someone to contact Miss Sharron immediately!" Dophis said and immediately went to assign manpower.

At this time, Helen at the foot of the mountain heard Hobert's voice in her ear: "Organize manpower to attack the enemy from the left flank!"

Helen couldn't help but look back. Hobert was still standing on the distant hill, but the voice just now seemed to be coming from a few steps behind her.

She seemed to realize that Hobert seemed to have advanced again.

After only a slight pause, Helen began to loudly order to organize the charging formation and attack the enemy's left flank.

Hobert watched the battlefield on the hill. Although the number of Beyonders on his side was small, the current battle situation was still optimistic.

This benefited from the systematic training of official Beyonders after the Southern Colson Campaign.

In that battle, a huge weakness of official Beyonders was exposed: in large-scale extraordinary wars, there was a lack of sufficient cooperation and strong command.

The Tudor family members who participated in the war at that time were a good example. When the battle went smoothly, it was okay, but once they encountered the enemy's counterattack, they fought on their own, resulting in heavy losses.

So after that, Hobert planned to train the official Beyonders in terms of command and cooperation, and the effect was very significant.

Like Angus's team, it is generally a five-person team composed of three to four members of the Arbiter pathway and two or one member of the "Lawyer" pathway.

This is the characteristic of the Tudor family. This family is mainly composed of members of the Arbiter pathway. After cooperating with Hobert, some members of the "Lawyer" pathway appeared, so this kind of team with a proportion of pathways was formed.

Generally, the members who are good at close combat rush to the front. If there is a "Bribers" in the team, they will definitely let him "bribe" and "weaken" the enemy from behind, and constantly use abilities such as "Charm" and "Arrogance" to affect the enemy.

If there is no "Bribers", there is generally a "Judge" in the rear who "imprisons" or "imprisons" a target, and then five members quickly surround it. If the enemy does not have time to support, they will kill the enemy.

If there is no "Judge", the "Interrogator's" "Mental Whip" can also well temporarily control the enemy.

The Tony family has a relatively rich extraordinary pathway. They also use a five-person team as the basic combat unit.

Most of the team members are two Beyonders of the "Hunter" pathway, two Beyonders of the "Lawyer" pathway, and one Beyonder of the Arbiter pathway.

Such a combat team has strong attack power. Two "Hunters" charge in the front, first using "Fireball" and "Fire Crow" to attack distant enemies. When they get close, they directly use knives, swords, or "Blazing White Spear" to fight the enemy in close combat.

"Lawyers" are responsible for adding negative effects such as "Weakness" to the enemy, and "Arbitrators" seize the opportunity to control the enemy.

Of course, there are not many elite teams mentioned above. Most of the team leaders are Sequence 7 or Sequence 6, and most of the team members are "low sequence".

Different levels of teams choose different levels of enemies.

A team with Sequence 7 as the leader will basically choose enemies of Sequence 7 or below, and a team with Sequence 6 as the leader will choose enemies of Sequence 6 or below.

Elite teams are generally Sequence 5 as the leader, and the members are at least Sequence 7. They will roam the battlefield and seize the opportunity to hunt down enemies at the Sequence 5 level.

Demigod members are basically commanders. They have no team and will seize the opportunity to help other teams or specifically deal with a certain demigod.

These two proven formations are very practical. The five-person team is the most basic combat unit, and the members listen to the captain's command.

The captains uniformly listen to the command of extraordinary officers such as Angus and Helen. For example, Angus and Malva's troops have more than a dozen teams, and they cannot command them at all, so they have two deputies.

At the beginning, the enemy's surprise attack and numerical advantage once gave them the initiative in the battle.

But when the five-person team mechanism started to operate and several Sequence 5 enemies were hunted down, the enemy's offensive gradually disintegrated.

The members of the "Rose School of Thought" also cooperate, but their cooperation is not as stable as that of official Beyonders, so when they fight together in groups of two or three, they are simply not opponents of the five-person team.

If they concentrate eight or nine people to besiege a five-person team, the five-person team will immediately enter a defensive state.

At this time, the role of the commander must be brought into play, either under the commander's order, two other teams come to support, or under the commander's order, other teams attack the enemy's weak points, forcing them to return to defense.

In this tactic, they often seize the opportunity of the enemy's slow reaction or the command system is not so sensitive, and work together to seize the opportunity to kill one or two enemies.

After several encounters, the effect of effective command became greater and greater. The enemy continued to suffer casualties, and the official Beyonders of the Southern Balam Duchy gradually reversed the disadvantage.

So Hobert let Helen's troops attack and attack the enemy from the side.

The Beyonders of Helen's troops are of the "Apprentice" pathway and the "Assassin" pathway, that is, the Beyonders of the "Witch" pathway. Their team's tactics are mainly guerrilla warfare.

But because the attack power of the "Witch" pathway is also very good, they can also harass the enemy and cover the main force!

While Helen was rushing to the battlefield, Hobert first prayed to "The Fool" and asked the Tarot Club members for help, and then contacted Fors and Audrey respectively, and assigned them tasks one after another.

Unfortunately, Emlyn is still under "protective custody" in the Church of the Evernight Goddess, otherwise he could call for Sanguine support.

All the forces that can be mobilized has been put into the battlefield, and Hobert has not actively contacted the "Element Dawn" support army.

He decided to wait and observe the development of the battle situation.

Just as Helen's troops were preparing to launch an attack from the flank, Hobert summoned two demigods, one was "Bull Devil Monarch" and the other was "Great Sage".

Currently, the Black Hound Spirit Beast is still on the "Trunsoest Empire", so the only "demigods" Hobert can use are them.

With the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor", these two demigod-level helpers can be used as many times as he wants, and he can use them however he wants.

Hobert "tampered with" their summoning time, changing a few minutes to a few tens of minutes. Now they can fight continuously for more than an hour.

After they disappear, summoning them again can fight for more than an hour again.

Even a real Sequence 3 is not so capable!

The only disadvantage is that their wisdom is not very high, and their use of Beyonder abilities is not detailed enough. They can entangle opponents at the Sequence 3 level, but it is difficult to harm them.

However, this time Hobert simply ordered them to attack enemies below the demigod level, and it is still very easy to kill enemies at this level.

"Bull Devil Monarch" and "Great Sage" charged from the right wing of the battlefield, ignoring a "Disciple of Silence" and a "Puppet" who greeted them, and charged and killed Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 within sight!

They are not afraid of physical attacks, nor are they afraid of possession, and they treat curses as tickles, which is very restrained by the "Prisoner" demigod's ability.

In just half a minute, they cooperated with Helen's surprise attack to disperse the enemy's formation.

Angus and Malva took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the "Rose School of Thought" commander immediately issued a retreat order.

At this time, the spirit world suddenly seemed to crack open, exposing itself to the real world.

The reaction caused by this process formed a violent storm, uprooting big trees and rolling huge rocks into the sky.

Hobert stretched out his hand and "tampered with" the storm into a breeze, so that the official Beyonders were not blown away by the storm.

In the spirit world, there was a figure tens of meters high. He was wearing a Southern Continent-style wizard robe and opened his hands to both sides.

That was the angel Barana of the "Rose School of Thought". It was he who "opened" the spirit world, creating a chance for the members of the "Rose School of Thought" to retreat.

Barana glanced at Hobert from a distance, and Hobert was also staring at him.

At this time, both angels were very restrained and did not immediately start an angel-level battle. After all, the main purpose of this raid was to test and delay part of the main force of the Beyonders of the Southern Balam Duchy.

Under Hobert's instruction, Angus and others did not pursue, but dragged down a small group of enemies and let the enemy's main force retreat.

When the main force of the "Rose School of Thought" all entered the spirit world, Barana's body became smaller, and he also retracted his hands that "opened" the spirit world. The boundary between the spirit world and the real world was quickly repaired by itself.

In the first stage of the extraordinary war, the Southern Balam Duchy won.

After the enemy's main force withdrew, Hobert immediately ordered Angus's troops to retreat from the battlefield.

Still standing on the hilltop, Hobert raised a hand and "bestowed all the injuries and fatigue of Angus's dozens of Beyonders to the wild grass covering the mountains.

Then, as if speaking into their ears, he said, "Immediately go and support Angel City!"

Angus, still marveling at Hobert's latest advancement, was slightly taken aback before realizing why the enemy had retreated so readily—their primary objective in the first phase of the battle was to raid Angel City!

...

Rewind to ten minutes earlier, Angel City.

The defense here was entrusted to Freya, only Sequence 7, and a few "low-sequence" Beyonders.

After the main force marched out, Hobert had transferred Xio, who had just advanced to Sequence 5 "Disciplnary Knight," and more than twenty members of the Travelers Research Society to come and support.

So, the current defending forces is Xio, wielding the "1-107" Imperative Mage Gloves, and Freya, holding the "Priest of Light Ring" that Hobert used to use.

The rest were basically Sequence 9s and Sequence 8s with little combat experience.

In the battle plan, this arrangement was more like a trap, waiting for the enemy to attack the city, and then Hobert would quickly arrange forces to support it.

But the forces that was originally supposed to support here had gone to support Rockville City!

Thus, this place became the weak point of the Southern Balam Duchy.

The enemy's surprise attack came from the Spirit World. To create a shocking effect, two demigods transformed into two "puppets" several meters tall, with horribly pale skin, empty eyes, and black liquid flowing from the corners of their eyes.

They approached the city wall step by step, putting tremendous mental pressure on the defenders on the wall. Many soldiers were cursed by the "puppets" and died amidst screams, with blood flowing from their eyes, ears, and mouths.

When the towering "puppets" reached the city wall, the soldiers finally reacted and fired at the puppets.

But their guns seemed to have a life of their own. The moment the trigger was pulled, the muzzle suddenly turned and aimed at their comrades!

The well-trained soldiers reacted immediately and released the triggers.

But the triggers still pulled themselves.

Bang, bang~

After a series of gunshots, the soldiers who had survived the curse fell into pools of blood.

The two tall "puppets" reached the city wall and pushed it down with ease.

The collapsed city wall stirred up a cloud of dust, burying many soldiers under the ruins.

The tremendous mental pressure and the impact of power caused the soldiers to collapse immediately.

During the enemy's two demigods' attack, Xio also issued the order to "abandon the city immediately!"

Xio and Freya had both participated in the previous South Colson battle, although they were both in the rear or performing battlefield cleanup tasks.

But as long as they had seen extraordinary warfare of that level, they would not panic when encountering similar situations again.

This was the case at this time as well. After seeing the enemy's offensive momentum, Xio immediately ordered a retreat.

Anyway, while the army was marching, government personnel and residents had already withdrawn to the mountainous area outside the city. There were only 300 soldiers here.

Xio realized that his primary task was to prevent excessive casualties among the members of the Travelers Research Society and the soldiers.

But because the enemy's offensive was too fierce, Xio's goal became to withdraw as many as possible.

Just as the first batch of Beyonders surged into the teleportation array, three figures appeared in the teleportation array first.

Xio was slightly stunned at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

The three people were the beautiful and dignified Audrey, the serious Christian, and the pale-faced Dophis, who looked like a dead man.

As soon as Christian appeared, she said in a voice that everyone in Angel City could hear: "I'm here to take over the command here!

"Everyone, move closer to the headquarters, abandon the city walls, and build a defense line in the surrounding blocks!"

The "Disciple of Silence" in charge of this raid by the Rose School narrowed his eyes: "Christian!"

This used to be Rex's right-hand man, the one who always cleaned up for Rex no matter how excessive he was in the front!

In the Southern Continent, one may not know who the governor of East Balam is, but one must have heard of Rex and Christian!

With the participation of Christian and Dophis, a decent defense line was finally formed around the headquarters.

After hesitating slightly, the Rose School's raiders immediately organized their forces and launched a new attack.

The ordinary soldiers and "low-sequence" Beyonders who were holding the defense line were a little flustered when they saw the attacks of "Wraiths," "Zombies," and "Werewolves."

"The power of reality here is enhanced, and the power of the extraordinary is weakened!" Christian floated above their heads and said.

The enemy's attack suddenly slowed down. The "Wraiths" were forced to end their mirror-jumping state and could only run forward to charge. The aura of death and coldness on the "Zombies" suddenly weakened significantly, and the "Werewolves" directly returned to human form.

At the same time, Audrey inside the headquarters was constantly "soothing" the soldiers.

The soldiers were no longer so panicked and began to attack the enemy with guns and cannons. At this time, the rifles in their hands could also kill the summoned Zombies and injure the "Zombies" and "Werewolves."

Shells could also blow away the rushing Beyonders!

As the weakened "Wraiths" approached the front line, Dophis summoned a seemingly very illusory and not very terrifying "Underworld Gate," making it difficult for them to use their "possession" and "wraith transformation" abilities.

But as the enemy's demigods joined the battle, this position formed by ordinary people and "low-sequence" Beyonders was immediately breached.

At this moment, the teleportation array was activated again, and Barnett, the patriarch of the Tudor family, arrived with more than twenty Beyonders.

After the South Colson battle, this gray-haired patriarch, dressed as a gentleman, moved to Jeffrey City in South Colson at Hobert's suggestion.

Hobert's intention in doing this was: Although the Tudor family was not completely incorporated, the Tudor family members who had not become official Beyonders had to become the reserve team of official Beyonders.

Currently, the elite of the Tudor family are all in Angus's unit, but the Tudor family still has more than thirty Beyonders under Barnett's control.

This was the last bit of face Hobert left for Barnett. He couldn't possibly let this "old gentleman" become Angus's subordinate, right?

Barnett was also very satisfied with this arrangement. With the elite of the Southern Balam Duchy all out, he obeyed Hobert's arrangement and took over the defense of Longtail Island and the South Colson area.

That's why they were able to quickly complete the support for Angel.

The arrival of these Beyonders made up for the serious shortage of Beyonders in the position, and the Beyonders of the Rose School were blocked outside the headquarters.

At this time, the number of demigods on both sides was the same, both three, but the Southern Balam Duchy had two Sequence 3s, giving them a slight advantage.

This was when Audrey was really put to use. Christian also had some conflicts with Barnett, and Audrey mediated between them, so there was no situation where the enemy had not been driven away, and their own people started fighting first.

Christian would definitely give her daughter-in-law face, and Dophis would obey Christian's command.

Barnett had heard family members mention this "Duchess" from the Backlund nobles. Since she had already pledged allegiance to the "Creator," she would of course try to obey the arrangements of this Favored lady.

This was the main reason why Hobert called Audrey here. When He was not present, Audrey and Fors could represent Him to connect the scattered forces or make some decisions.

When Angus's troops appeared outside Angel City without any rest, the Rose School immediately retreated.

At this time, another angel of the Rose School, Kleist, whose eyes were full of malice and exuded an evil aura, appeared from the Spirit World.

He leaned on a long leg bone and a skull-made crutch, preparing to cover the retreat of the Rose School members.

For a time, an evil aura filled Angel City. Many people did not even see this angel, but only felt His presence, and they turned into animals or monsters covered with fangs, tongues, and eyeballs.

But in the next instant, a surging force dispelled the evil in the city, and the animals and monsters immediately returned to their original soldiers or Beyonders.

At the same time, not far from Kleist, a huge eyeball appeared. On the white of this eyeball, there were small eyes.

The eyeball clearly exuded an aura of aberration, but its body was surrounded by a holy radiance interwoven with clarity and darkness.

Aberrant yet normal, evil yet sacred!

This was the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" who reappeared in the "Creator's" power system.

Immediately afterwards, on the other side of Kleist, a phantom black force appeared, forming a female silhouette. She was a bit illusory overall, and her face could not be seen clearly. She seemed to be wearing a gorgeous and intricate court dress.

Mystical symbols flowed outside the court dress, looking solemn and mysterious.

Hobert didn't intend to let go of these Beyonders who attacked Angel City, so he sent two "angels" to stop Kleist.

The Rose School's "Ancient Evil God's" spirituality issued a strong danger warning, which made Him immediately realize that the "Creator" intended to kill Him, along with these two angels, before the Rose School could react.

The Rose School also did not intend to have a decisive battle in the surprise attack on Angel City. Currently, the main force was still on the battlefield of the decisive battle, and Barana could not quickly support.

Without any hesitation, Kleist immediately slammed his crutch, forming a phantom bronze door in front of Him, temporarily blocking the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" and the "Duke of Entropy."

The next second, the phantom door disappeared, and Kleist was nowhere to be found.

Hobert, in the "Nation of Disorder," had just lifted the seal of Uniqueness when the other party escaped.

He had to reseal the Uniqueness: The reason why angels are difficult to kill may be that they all have one or two escape skills that are difficult to stop.

Then Hobert's gaze turned to the battlefield in Angel City. Under the siege, the Rose School's forces immediately collapsed.

Hobert withdrew the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" and let the "Duke of Entropy" attack the enemy's demigods.

The "Duke of Entropy" first waved his hand, and the injuries on the three demigods were "magnified," and one of them died on the spot.

The limit of "magnification" at the angel level is no longer just a fatal injury.

Even an angel of the same level, if the "Duke of Entropy" is allowed to "magnify" continuously, can die from a minor scratch.

However, being angels, they have many ways to avoid the continuous "magnification" of injuries, which will only cause them inconvenience at most, and will not really be killed by a minor scratch.

But Beyonders below the angel level are very likely to die from their injuries under the "magnified" attack of the "Duke of Entropy."

Immediately afterwards, the "Duke of Entropy" cut off the "connection" between the remaining two demigods and the Spirit World and the "Mirror World." In the despair of the "Disciple of Silence" and the "Puppet," the "Duke of Entropy" reached out and pushed forward, and the two demigods, known for their strong physiques, were torn apart by a "chaotic" force.

The other members of the Rose School immediately gave up resistance.

Even Christian and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all sighed inwardly at the qualitative change in the ability and power of angels.

After solving the other party's demigods, the "Duke of Entropy" disappeared immediately.

The members of the Rose School expressed their willingness to surrender. These Southern Balam people were even more cruel than them. No more fighting, no more fighting!

Christian said to Angus, "You guys come and receive the prisoners."

As she spoke, she winked at Angus.

Angus understood and loudly told the members of the Rose School not to resist, and loudly ordered his subordinates to escort them to prison.

But after his subordinates controlled the prisoners, Angus immediately ordered with an icy face: "Execute them on the spot!"

The subordinates were slightly stunned, but they immediately carried out the order.

The prisoners were a little unbelievable: "We have all surrendered! Why do you still want to kill us? Aren't you official Beyonders?"

At this time, Freya, who had been fighting on the front line and was covered in dirt, said, "After killing our people, surrendering is enough? I support Captain Angus's judgment!"

"You reminded me by saying that!" Angus said, "After all, we are official Beyonders, and we must abide by relevant laws. Prisoners also have basic human rights and the right to defend themselves."

He paused and then said, "'Judges,' come forward and judge them!"

The prisoners didn't know what to say. They had to help their "judges" digest the potion before they died!

Christian, who was watching the show outside the crowd, nodded. Angus's handling method had a lot of Hobert's style.

In his opinion, there are no prisoners in Beyonder warfare. These prisoners are difficult to guard, so it is better to directly turn them into Beyonder characteristics, which can still exert their "value."

It only took a dozen minutes for the "judges" to sentence all the prisoners to death and execute them immediately.

Freya led the members of the Travelers Research Society to clean up the battlefield, and Angus's troops rested in Angel City for more than half an hour before returning to the front line to continue participating in the new round of battle.

...

At this time, in Rockville City, Lawrence was sitting wearily on the sofa in the governor's mansion living room to rest.

One wall of the living room had collapsed in half. That was the damage caused during the battle just now when the enemy almost rushed into the courtyard of the governor's mansion.

The defense war just now lasted a full forty minutes, turning the area around the Governor's mansion into ruins. Unextinguished flames and fleeing residents are everywhere in the city.

It's rare for such a long, high-intensity battle to occur in extraordinary warfare.

Lawrence considered abandoning the city several times, but fortunately, the morale of his subordinates was never extinguished. Everyone's fighting will supported the defense line.

Just when the enemy almost broke into the courtyard, Sharron and Dophis led the first batch of reinforcements, and the addition of fresh troops allowed them to repel the enemy again.

At the same time, the enemy was also very tired. They retreated in an orderly manner, giving Lawrence and the others a chance to breathe.

Lawrence learned from Dophis that reinforcements were constantly arriving.

The teleportation array is inside the Governor's mansion. As long as the Governor's mansion is not lost, Rockville City will not fall!

But Lawrence couldn't be happy at all, which meant that the battle would continue, and the casualties of the Balk family would continue to increase.

Suddenly, Lawrence's spirituality sensed something, and he suddenly sat up from the sofa: "The enemy is coming again! Defend Rockville City to the death!"

Now there is only one way, and that is to defend to the death. If they hold it, the number of demigods in the family will definitely increase again!

Sharron and other reinforcements also went out to meet the enemy. She also knew very well that if she defended this city, she would be promoted to "Disciple of Silence"!

The Beyonders resting in the courtyard took action one after another after Lawrence's reminder.

Whoosh~

Hundreds of fireballs of varying sizes fell from the sky. This is the enemy's saturation attack of "Fireball"!

These fireballs came from different Beyonders, some from demigods, and some from "Mid Sequence" Beyonders.

Sharron raised her hand and formed a white frost in the air, blocking some of the fireballs.

Lawrence immediately used the ability of "Exploit" to prolong the existence of those frosts. At the same time, a "Earl of the Fallen" used the ability of "Magnification" to make the area of the frost immediately wider and longer!

Other Beyonders also used Beyonder abilities to block the "Fireballs", but before all the fireballs could be blocked, hundreds of fire crows flew over.

Many fire crows could not be blocked, and exploded in the courtyard like whistling cannonballs, killing and wounding many Beyonders. The courtyard was full of craters and flames, as if it were in a modern army's battlefield.

Lawrence put on the "Blood-colored Crown" and said in a solemn voice: "Arson in Rockville City is a serious crime and will be severely punished."

Dozens of illusory whips appeared in Rockville City. Soon, painful wails sounded in the distance. Some enemies were beaten to death, and some were seriously injured.

But the enemy had two demigods who had already led people to the courtyard wall. One of the demigods raised his hand and a huge beam of light descended from the sky, while the other kept throwing "Blazing White Spears" into the courtyard.

Just as the beam of light was about to engulf several members of the Balk family, it was suddenly "tampered with" and changed its attack direction, turning into a right angle and shooting towards another place at low altitude.

A "Earl of the Fallen" of the Balk family came to stop this "Unshadowed."

The "Iron Blooded Knight"'s thrown "Blazing White Spear" was trapped in a series of mirrors. A lady with a rather delicate appearance and wearing a Gothic court dress suddenly appeared in the pupils of the "Iron Blooded Knight".

Sharron successfully possessed the "Iron Blooded Knight". Another "Blazing White Spear" appeared in his hand, but this time it was piercing towards his own heart.

The "Iron Blooded Knight" struggled to resist, his hand holding the "Blazing White Spear" moving forward slightly for a while, and backward slightly for a while.

At this time, a demigod in the enemy's ranks who also carried a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact held back Lawrence.

As more and more demigods from the enemy rushed over, Elliott and others, who had just been granted Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts by the "Creator", immediately went to the top.

But the defense line was still in jeopardy. A large section of the courtyard wall collapsed again, and the enemy was using their numerical advantage to launch wave after wave of attacks.

Just when the Balk family was about to be unable to resist, the second batch of reinforcements from the "Temperance Faction" arrived, once again helping them defend the Governor's mansion.

But the enemy's offensive did not weaken. Lawrence, who was entangled with the enemy, seemed to realize something and was about to order a retreat, but it was already too late.

Two spaces in the Governor's mansion courtyard suddenly became illusory, and a dozen enemies rushed out from each of them. These Beyonders were all elites who had never participated in the war before. The one rushing in the front was a demigod, and behind them were "Mid Sequence" Beyonders!

The enemy still had two demigods who had not participated in the war before!

This fresh force immediately broke through the defense line that the Balk family had been defending. Lawrence felt a sense of despair in his heart, but he immediately took a deep breath and prepared to cover the departure of Elliott and other core members in order to preserve the Balk family's bloodline.

At this moment, the teleportation array in the Governor's mansion flashed a few figures again. Fors brought three reinforcements.

The three reinforcements, one woman and two men, all wore masks. The woman wore a classic wizard robe, and the staff in her hand sparkled with dazzling brilliance.

This brilliance exploded like fireworks, forming a beautiful ball of flame.

"Mystical Reenactment: The Little Match Girl!"

One of the enemy's demigods and several enemies suddenly stopped, and a scene after scene of fascinating illusions appeared before their eyes.

This woman is the "Hermit" Cattleya.

The staff in her hand suddenly turned into a spear flowing with dark red blood. The blood was very sacred, as if it could purify all the evil in the world.

"Mystical Reenactment: Spear of Longinus!"

Cattleya threw the spear in her hand towards the demigod in the illusion. The strong sense of danger made the demigod regain some sanity and pulled one of his companions to block the spear for him.

The other two male reinforcements, one was a "Marine Singer" with blue hair and a rough appearance, and the other was a "Spirit Warlock" with black hair and a somewhat unkempt appearance.

They each held a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact and jointly blocked the enemy's other demigod.

Although Fors did not take action, her arrival gave everyone great encouragement!

This shows that reinforcements will continue to arrive in batches, otherwise Duke Hobert would not have allowed his wife to support them!

The already broken battle line was miraculously held again.
