But even if the average survival time is less than half an hour, so what?
Louis stated:
Dead people? The Curse Binding Legion fears dead people the least!
If you’re not convinced, have your army resurrect.
Louis really laughed so hard he was gasping for breath.
The Curse Binding Legion indeed had been holding back these days.
Damn it.
There’s not a single enemy of the regiment leader that they could normally handle.
The strength of strong enemies had reached such a level that, aside from those few sub-commanders, the rest simply couldn’t participate in that kind of war.
So this time, when conflict erupted with the Demon King Army, it was truly a fierce and fiery battle.
But the leaders of the Demon King Army quickly realized something was wrong.
Too fast.
The rate at which their subordinates were being depleted was simply too fast.
They had long known the Curse Binding Legion could resurrect, but based on the intelligence they had obtained before, the average level of the Curse Binding Legion was known.
Even if they’re a notch stronger and can resurrect, their numbers are ultimately limited.
Don’t forget about the many star realm races and otherworldly invaders guided by the Abyssal Church into the Underground City from those spatial tunnels opened on the Giant Plain.
To put it bluntly, under the total mobilization of the Demon King Army, their numbers could rival the population of a large nation.
These are soldiers!
An army truly under command!
Furthermore, due to the influence of the Great Demon King, this army was more fearless than ordinary armies.
The leaders initially thought that as long as they blocked the possibility of the intervention of Star Continent’s top powerhouses, they could expand recklessly on the continent and even completely control this new world.
But now they’ve encountered a real opponent.
The Curse Binding Legion...
What a terrifying legion this is!
The killing intent they relied on wasn’t worth mentioning in the face of the true Death March.
This group of people were monsters, fighting to their deaths on the front lines from various countries.
Even the Demon King Army hadn’t experienced this kind of feeling.
After all, the corpses resurrected by the Great Demon King were essentially just magic-driven puppets.
They might not fear death, but the concept of battle spirit simply didn’t exist for them.
And the native Warriors of the Underground City, no matter how battle-hardened, ultimately hadn’t experienced death. Facing such monsters that maintained their living willpower, and in such quantities, they finally felt suffocated.
More and more corpses piled on the battlefield.
Despite corrupting numerous races and employing such malicious means, when faced with sheer power, all of it proved meaningless.
On the island at Sword Coast, a commander finally buckled under the pressure, speaking to the Great Demon King:
"Lord Helmer, do we need to increase the intensity against them?"
The speaker was a leader of the Demon King Army, [Mask of Zok].
He was a newly ascended Demigod powerhouse.
As an unfortunate drifting within the star realm, he knew better than anyone that a demigod wandering alone in the star realm was as conspicuous as a bonfire at night.
If what they encounter were merely ordinary beasts, perhaps they would be scared off by the firelight.
But the light might not only attract beasts.
There could also exist [Evil Dragons] that devour everything in their path.
Desolate God, Elemental Monarch, Demon Lord, Star Realm Dragon God, King of Demons...
Those at the peak of demigods, or possibly even beings at the Divine Realm, typically remain unseen in the world.
But once they appear, for him, it’s a death sentence.
Those are monsters he couldn’t possibly resist.
So, upon entering Star Continent by chance, he joined the Demon King Army.
He had no choice.
He’s a stowaway.
To gain the recognition of the will of the stars, he must present a [Token of Allegiance].
But the token demanded by the stars was too harsh, or rather, too harsh for him.
Unable to accept the cost of the token, he simply decided to join the Demon King Army.
Especially after the person who invited him explained the current situation of the Demon King Army, he was deeply tempted.
[Fighting the world’s strongest and surviving leader]
[A Demon King Army with numbers rivaling the population of top-tier nations]
[A legion with endless killing intent]
What more was there to say, the advantage was ours.
After officially joining, he discovered:
"False, all fucking false."
The so-called surviving clashes with the world’s strongest referred to using numerous allied demons to entangle them, exhausting them significantly, before going up for a few bouts.
But he could understand.
He had seen images left behind in the minds of Demon King Army members.
It was jaw-dropping.
That world’s powerhouse had issues.
It was definitely more than just a simple demigod.
He couldn’t even describe whether that thing was still a living being.
That was a monster undergoing transformation after devouring the power source of a high-level Divine Realm.
In the words of the star realm races, it was a Star God disguised as a human.
Even if the Star God was constrained, it was only because it didn’t wish to break free.
Residual humanity made the Star God consciously restrain its power and linger in the human realm.
But once it lost that humanity, the next form it gave birth to, would be something considered terrifying even among all the worlds in the star realm.
So he didn’t blame Helmer.
On the contrary, he held great respect.
Being able to stand toe-to-toe with such a monster and withdraw safely, this Demon King is truly something else.
Additionally, over the years, it had been confirmed that this powerhouse had become very difficult to leave his golden throne.
