As she spoke, she slowly turned around and hugged Long Haochen tightly, burying her delicate face in his chest, her body trembling violently.
Long Haochen hugged her tightly, his heart aching just as much. Ever since he learned about Cai’er’s past, his sorrow for her had only deepened.
“Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…” A series of ear-splitting metallic clashes rang out from outside, and immediately, noisy sounds erupted outside, as if everything had suddenly become lively.
Han Yu said, “That’s the military camp assembly order.”
Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to Long Haochen. Sima Xian said, “Captain, Vice-Captain Cai’er is so emotionally unstable, maybe you should stay behind.”
“No,” Long Haochen said sternly, “I promised Battalion Commander Zhang that I would obey orders. We are soldiers now, how can we not execute military orders? I will protect Cai’er, let’s go.”
Cai’er also straightened up, grabbed the green bamboo cane beside her, her face seemingly completely restored to calmness in this short period of time. “I’m fine. Let’s go. To the assembly.”
Long Haochen nodded, but hugged her again, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered, “No matter what, you still have me. Even if it’s just for me, you have to live well. I only want to see my Cai’er happy and blissful.”
“Mmm,” Cai’er nodded lightly, actively taking Long Haochen’s hand.
“Let’s go,” Long Haochen called out to his companions, grabbing Cai’er and hurrying out of the barracks.
Outside the barracks, the soldiers of the First Battalion were quickly assembling. The shouts of the officers rang out from time to time.
Zhang Hairong stood in the center of the open space in front of the barracks. This entire area of barracks was the First Battalion’s base. At this moment, he was in full military attire, wearing heavy plate armor, holding a pair of cold, gleaming broad-bladed battle axes in his hands, his gaze stern as he watched the soldiers assemble.
Long Haochen quickly led his companions to Zhang Hairong and gave him a military salute, “Battalion Commander Sir, the seven members of the personal guard squad report to you.”
Facing war, Zhang Hairong no longer had the polite demeanor he had before, and said coldly, “Line up behind me and follow me to the city to kill the enemy.”
“Yes,” Long Haochen responded, leading his companions to stand behind Zhang Hairong.
The seven of them were tall, short, and there were even three girls among them, all looking so young, immediately attracting the attention of the First Battalion soldiers. Especially the officers standing in the front row, who frequently cast curious glances.
The matter of the new Demon Hunt Squad coming to Exorcist City for trials was highly confidential, and not something these lower-level officers could know.
Soon, the soldiers of the First Battalion had all assembled. Although it was dark, the entire First Battalion was orderly and without the slightest panic.
The soldiers’ weapons were mostly thick-backed broadswords, and in addition to their military uniforms, they wore leather armor. Some officers wore chainmail. Only Zhang Hairong possessed plate armor.
Seeing that the soldiers had completed their assembly, Zhang Hairong shouted loudly, “Brothers, the demon bastards have been attacking especially fiercely these past few days, and we have to take the stage early today. I won’t say much else. On the city walls, anyone who dares to be a coward and ruin the honor of my First Battalion, don’t blame my pair of big axes for not recognizing people. Move out.”
“Kill, kill, kill!” The First Battalion infantrymen raised their weapons high, shouting in unison under the shocked gazes of Long Haochen and his six companions, and then immediately set off, heading towards the city walls in an orderly manner.
Zhang Hairong didn’t say much, but from the situation before them, it was clear that he had absolute control over this army. These soldiers had obviously been on the battlefield many times. The vast majority of them were just Tier 1 or Tier 2 warriors with some external spiritual power, but the madness in their eyes immediately made Long Haochen and his six companions feel the bloody aura unique to the battlefield.
Zhang Hairong ran in the front with a pair of large axes, with Long Haochen and his six companions following closely behind. They remembered the arrangement they had made in the past few days. They moved forward in a wedge formation. Long Haochen was in the front, Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian on the left and right, and Han Yu at the rear. Cai’er, Chen Ying’er, and Lin Xin, as a mage, were in the center.
Although Chen Ying’er and Lin Xin were summoners and mages, their bodies had been improved by spiritual power over the years, and they were much stronger than ordinary Tier 1 and Tier 2 warriors. At this time, they had no problem keeping up with the team.
Soon, under Zhang Hairong’s lead, they climbed onto the city wall of Exorcist City from one side. It was the first time he came to the strongest defense of Exorcist Pass, Long Haochen was secretly surprised, the city wall was too high. The overall height was a hundred meters, he couldn’t see the thickness, but he could clearly feel the heavy feeling.
Deafening shouts of killing, screams, collisions, and the sound of metal clashing continued to ring out from the direction of the city wall. Finally, he was about to set foot on the battlefield for the first time. Long Haochen felt a hint of excitement mixed with tension.
Soon, Zhang Hairong had led them onto the city wall. He placed the two battle axes in his left hand, Zhang Hairong grabbed a soldier who was carrying a rolling stone, “Where is your battalion commander?”
The soldier said loudly, “Defending the enemy on the city wall.”
Zhang Hairong laughed loudly and said, “Good job, go and tell your battalion commander that our First Battalion has arrived, take over the defense. Let your brothers go down and rest, leave the work of killing the demon cubs to us. Brothers of the First Battalion, follow me.” As he spoke, the sturdy man charged towards the front of the city wall with his large axes.
Long Haochen and his six companions were now personal guards, so they naturally didn’t dare to be negligent and followed Zhang Hairong forward quickly. At this time, they were all stepping onto the battlefield for the first time, and they didn’t have time to observe everything around them. While they were shocked by the magnificent battlefield in front of them, the blood in their bodies seemed to be boiling.

The width of the city wall was more than a hundred meters, with a large amount of defensive materials piled up. Shouts of killing filled the city wall, blood splattering constantly at the forefront, and the shouts of killing suddenly increased a lot.
Zhang Hairong rushed to the front of the city wall, and suddenly, a Zeratul Demon with a height of about 1.5 meters emerged from the city wall, waving a pair of sharp forelimbs and pouncing on a defending soldier.
Zhang Hairong roared, like a thunderbolt, his left foot stomped on the ground, he bounced up, and a pair of large axes slashed forward fiercely. With a puff, the Zeratul Demon instantly turned into碎块.
The soldier who was saved by him was already covered in blood, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Hairong, gave him a thumbs up, swayed, and sat down on the ground.
“Brothers of the Sixth Battalion can retreat now, leave the defense task to our First Battalion.” Zhang Hairong shouted loudly, and a pair of giant axes spread out, rushing to the front of the city wall like a meat grinder. Any demons that jumped up were immediately struck down with an axe.
The soldiers of the First Battalion quickly ran to important positions on the city wall, some resisted strong enemies, and some helped the people of the Sixth Battalion assist the wounded in retreating. The whole process was orderly. There were dedicated medical personnel to heal the wounded, and the entire change of guard process only lasted less than twenty breaths.
Standing on the city wall, Zhang Hairong suddenly felt warmth all over his body. At the same time, his fighting spirit was even stronger, and the spiritual power in his body surged even more violently. Looking down, he found that a layer of faint white light was rippling on his body.
Long Haochen came to his side, wearing his Holy Spirit Set completely. The white light was emitted from him.
Not only him, but the members of the Tier 1 No. 1 Demon Hunt Squad were also ready for battle.
Standing next to Zhang Hairong, Long Haochen looked down at the city. All he could see was the overwhelming demons. The most numerous were the Zeratul Demons. A large number of Zeratul Demons were constantly climbing up the city walls with their sharp forelimbs. The soldiers on the city walls were defending tensely but orderly with rolling stones, oil, logs, and various defensive equipment.
The demon army was endless, and a large number of Zeratul Demons were smashed down, but these demons were indeed powerful. As long as they were not hit in the vital points, they could almost launch an attack again. The battle on the city wall was extremely fierce.
Zhang Hairong chopped a Zeratul Demon away with an axe and said to Long Haochen, “Guardian Knight?”
Long Haochen nodded.
Zhang Hairong said, “Don’t worry about what profession you are, kill the enemy with me. The more you kill, the better.”
“Yes.”
Long Haochen turned his head and said to his companions, “Wang Yuanyuan, you protect Ying’er, Sima Xian, you protect Lin Xin, Han Yu pay attention to healing and coordination. Let’s fight side by side.”
Defending the city was not rushing into battle, so their wedge formation was naturally useless. They had to spread out and fight the enemy.
A layer of golden mist rippled out from Long Haochen’s body, and eight golden runes quickly spread out, covering a range of about twenty meters in diameter.
Suddenly, everyone had a touch of golden mist rising on their bodies, looking somewhat like knights using charge skills.
This was one of the two Guardian Knight secret skills Long Haochen chose in the Holy Alliance Treasure Vault, Spiritual Gathering Aura. It consumed his spiritual power to help all his companions increase their spiritual power recovery speed by 30%.
At this time, Long Haochen fully demonstrated his powerful auxiliary ability. Spiritual Gathering Aura, Holy Spirit Guard, and then a Guardian’s Grace. Three halo-type range amplification skills were completed instantly, greatly amplifying the whole squad.
At the same time, his right hand’s Holy Spirit Sword pointed forward, and dozens of white lights flashed away. Three Zeratul Demons that pounced on the city wall instantly turned into sieves and fell down.
Receiving Long Haochen’s support, Sima Xian shouted, “Kill!” The staff in his hand waved like a black dragon. He didn’t use any skills, his powerful physical strength completely erupted. Every time he swung the staff, a Zeratul Demon that rushed up would be blasted into minced meat.
Wang Yuanyuan was even more fierce than Sima Xian. The girl stepped directly onto the battlements, waving the Giant Spirit Shield in her hand, and it was truly unstoppable. For a time, no Zeratul Demons could rush up in their direction.
When they first changed defenses, Zhang Hairong’s pair of battle axes were still busy, killing happily. But in just a few breaths, he found that he was no longer under pressure. Only a few small cats and dogs could occasionally rush up on the front side, and the enemies on the left and right wings were all taken over by Long Haochen and the others. This section of the city wall, about twenty meters long, suddenly became clean.
