Just as Jean and his party were engaged in a bloody battle with the dwarf army in the jungle, on the battlefield at the edge of the jungle, Hodge, the leader of the demon slayer army, quickly realized that he should have fallen for the old opponent's plan this time.

Because not long after he sent his elite team into the jungle to carry out the mission, the Demon Legion suddenly mobilized all the elite Sheep-headed Demon Legion and the Sakaram Legion to launch a full-scale attack on them from both sides of the battlefield.

There were also a total of four Legendary Evil Pact and hundreds of high-level Pact, and seeing the appearance of these men, Hodge already knew that he had been deceived.

Because according to the previous intelligence, the other party should be about the same as himself in terms of the number of high-end combat power, and even his own side is a little stronger than the other party because of the reinforcements of the Amazon clan.

But now that he has sent three legendary powerhouses into the rainforest at once, if the other party really has any secret plans there, he should arrange at least three legendary powerhouses to be stationed at the planned location.

But now the number of Legendary Evil Covenanters who appeared on the battlefield alone has reached as many as four, and the other party's commander himself has not yet made a move, which means that the other party has not arranged anyone in the so-called "secret location" in the jungle at all!

The guy devised the deception based on what he knew about himself and himself, and let his mind be tricked into believing that he wanted to smuggle some of the legion to the rainforest base camp in the rear.

While Commander Hodge was standing in the tent and looking at the military map in front of him with a wry smile on his face, a small silver hurricane suddenly flew in from outside the tent.

As soon as Hodge looked up, he reached out and grabbed the hurricane, and then listened carefully, and the bitterness on his face suddenly became stronger.

"That's right! I can't imagine that I can hunt geese all day long, but after all, I was pecked by geese here... Ay......

Pass the order down, retreat back to the ten tent areas, the Demon Slayer Legion can't afford to lose a lot here......"

The paladin sighed and gave the order to the herald beside him.

"Yes......" The herald replied with some hesitation, turned around and ran out of the command tent.

Soon, the order to retreat was passed to the ears of every professional on the front line, and although there were some doubts about why they were retreating, these excellent professional legion soldiers decisively chose to obey the order.

After Hodge and the other two legendary powerhouses and a group of high-level professionals personally took action, the demon legions and the evil pact saw that they could not take advantage of anything, so they did not rashly attack the retreating demon slayer army.

However, although the Demon Slayer Legion did not suffer any losses, the border combat zone tens of kilometers ahead was equivalent to being handed over.

This is not the most fatal, the most important thing is that the commander of the Hell Legion is obviously also a capable man, and his main purpose in asking for this more than ten kilometers of combat zone is not to encroach on the land and expand the control of the Hell side, but to occupy the ruins of the city that once belonged to the Kingdom of Kegistan near the boundary line of the rainforest - Kurip.

Like the former Kurast Mall, Kurep is a trading city that thrived due to the rainforest economy.

If Kurast Mall was once the center of rainforest trade, then Kurep was the hub of trade between the desert regions of the Eastern Continent and the rainforest.

It is said that at the height of the Kurip, there were even bone merchants from Uri who came here to trade, and the city was filled with merchants from all walks of life, and you can find goods from all parts of the sanctuary world in the thriving bazaars of Kurip.

Especially after the decline of the Kurast Mall due to the turmoil of the dwarfs, Kurip, which is on the border of the rainforest, has become the "Lugoin" of the Eastern Continent.

The king of Kegistan even thought of moving the capital to Kurip, because it was even more prosperous than the city of Kadian, which was located in the center of the wasteland.

But then, with the influx of refugees and aristocrats in Kurast's mall, the bustling and happy trading city began to become less innocent.

When the terror caused by the dwarfs dissipates, the Kuras privileged people who had enjoyed the treatment of the upper echelons of the Kurast Mall hope to regain all their former authority in this kind of city.

Of course, the local merchants and nobles of Kurim and the Mage Guild would not easily let these "outsiders" take away their power so easily, so a great war involving the struggle between power and mage factions began in the city of Kurim.

The war eventually destroyed half of the city of Kurim and killed a large number of merchants from all over the world.

The Kingdom of Kegistan was plunged into a deep diplomatic maelstrom by this incident, but the crisis was eventually quelled and defused by the skilful Hakan I the Great.

But the disaster of Kurim did not end there, and the year after the War of the Magnates, a demonic invasion broke out.

The whole of Kagestan and the rainforest were plunged into the turmoil brought about by hell.

Transactions in Kuram City were all disrupted, and people were struggling to get by.

Later, the power of the three demon gods gradually weakened under the interference of the will of the world, and the hated demon god Mephisto was hunted down by the united mage sect on the Eastern Continent.

It fled to the south of the wasteland, the footprints of the Hate King treading over the walls of the already precarious city of Quram.

The city could no longer withstand such multiple devastation, and a large number of local residents and Kurast nobles were killed, and the few who survived fled from Kurim.

As a result, the trading capital on the border between the rainforest and the wastelands has been shattered and is now in ruins.

However, although it has been reduced to ruins, it still has great strategic value militarily.

From the map, the ruins of Qrem are stuck near the water vein in the southwest of the wasteland, it is on the border of the rainforest in the south, and Kadian, the capital of Kegistan, in the north, and flows down from the river vein to the middle of the rainforest.

The eastern and western sides of the rainforest border were no longer in danger of defending it, and the former military camp of the Demon Slayer Legion was stationed in the city.

But now, due to the power of the two more legendary Evil Covenanters on the other side, Hodge, the commander of the Demon Slayer Legion, had to give up this important strategic node.

After capturing this strategic node that was enough to contain the attack of the Demon Slayer Legion, the Demon Legion's worries were alleviated a lot, and now, the commander of the Demon Legion side was able to let a part of the elite sheep-headed demon troops go south along the tributaries of the Zuraka River to the heart of the rainforest to support the Tryvank and Kurast seaports.

This situation means that the initiative of the entire war has been completely transferred from the human side to the hands of the demon legion, and for the council guard legion and Xue Hua, who have just desperately fought to seize the victory point in the rainforest, this news is definitely very bad.

Hodge stood on the hillside outside the ruins of Kurim City, looking at the large group of sheep-headed demon guards appearing on the ruined walls, and the expression on his face suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, and even the hideous scar looked gray and dull.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head self-deprecatingly, turned to look at the clerk behind him, and said.

"Send a report to the Council, saying that I have failed to live up to the support and expectations of the Lords and Gentlemen, and I hereby request that I be deposed and that another commander be sent from the Council to take my place... I would like to remain on the front lines of the battlefield as a deputy and adviser, and I would like to ask the Parliament to approve it as appropriate......"
