There were broken limbs everywhere in front of Black Hole No. 17. The blood of the monsters dyed the entire ground red. Under the leadership of Teacher Chris, the members of the God-Slaying squad walked out of the battlefield with ease. They happened to see the soldiers of the Arctic Country sitting outside the battlefield, and Vincent, sitting above the generals!
âVincent, why didnât you come to participate in the battle even though youâve arrived? Do you feel that you canât win against us, so you donât dare to participate in the battle?â
Chris shook off the blood on his hands and raised his head to shout at Vincent.
âForget it! If I wasnât here to watch them, you would have been attacked from both sides!â
Vincent waved his hand and spoke in a lazy manner.
Chris turned to look at the people sitting on the ground. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He had just gone through a bloody battle and was full of fighting spirit. He was waiting for a few more opponents to show up!
The general sitting on the ground shook his head and said, âDonât misunderstand! Donât misunderstand! We want to help fight together with you. We have no intention of plotting against you!â
Chris hated this kind of softness the most. He instantly lost the desire to make a move. He raised his head and looked at Vincent. He was waiting for him to give instructions on what to do next.
Vincent looked into the distance and said, âNext stop, Black Hole No. 23! Remember to bring the injured young man with you. Otherwise, these people will not let him live!â
âOkay!â
Chris replied. Then, he carried Enoch on his back and turned around to leave with everyone.
After the God-Slaying squad left, Vincent lowered his head and said to everyone below, âAll of you listen well. I will look past what happened today. All of you will go and pass a message to the Arctic Countryâs emperor. I will be responsible for the Monster Horde in your country. I will also protect Enoch. If he dares to cause trouble for us again, he will tacitly acknowledge that your Arctic Country is declaring war on us!â
The generals all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The pressure that Vincent gave them was too strong. They did not dare to express any of their emotions.
After a long time, someone finally looked up. They found that Vincent had left long ago, and those densely packed monsters had long disappeared with him!
âGo, go back and inform His Majesty the Emperor!â
The general stood up and said with a solemn expression.
In just a few days, the soldiers and generals who survived the Black Hole battlefields all returned to their own homes or headed to the Imperial City to report. Along the way, they spread the news of the God-Slaying squad.
In an instant, everyone in Arctic Country knew the existence of the God-Slaying Squad. There were some people who said that they were gods sent by the heavens to save the common people. On the other hand, there were some who said that they were demons who only knew how to kill. There were also people who said that their intention was to destroy the invaders of the Arctic Country!
In the Imperial Palace, located in the capital of Arctic Country, Skyfrost City, the emperor, Frank Endicott, had a gloomy expression on his face. He was listening to the reports of the generals in the hall. They were all standing in front of a huge map.
âThere are a total of 17 Black Holes in the borders of our country. Currently, half of the Black Hole battlefields have been quelled by the God-Slaying squad. The God-Slaying squad is still wantonly passing through our territory and heading to the other Black Hole battlefields. Enoch is with them. However, due to his heavy injuries, he is currently unable to move. We have also sent an army to intercept and kill this squad, but they were all stopped by a person named Vincent who had countless black monsters with him!â
One of the generals introduced every line on the map to the emperor. He then returned to his original position and stood there quietly.
Frank placed his hands on the desk and said coldly, âA seven-man team. One of the teachers has become a ruler-class superpowered person, and thereâs a captain who can control a large group of monsters. The rest of the members are all king-class superpowered people. What is the Falcon Country trying to do? That b*stard Swain. Did he forget his promise?â
At the same time, an old man with an extraordinary status walked up and said, âYour Majesty, no matter what the purpose of the God-Slaying squad is, at least their first goal is to stop the Monster Horde. Itâs a good thing for the soldiers and people of our country. I think we should at least prepare some backup for them before all the Black Holes are wiped out. Even if they have any wild ambitions, they should wait until the threat of the Black Hole is dealt with!â
Frank raised his head and looked at the old man. He said disdainfully, âAndrew, your family has been the princes and ministers of the Arctic Country for generations. Why are you so short-sighted? No matter how great the threat of the Black Hole is, havenât we endured it for many years? And the threat of the God-Slaying squad far exceeds the Black Hole. If we donât take advantage of the Monster Horde in front of the Black Hole to find a way to use the Monster Horde to attack the God-Slaying squad, then our Arctic Country will be at the mercy of others!â
Andrew lowered his head and said, âYour Majesty! The Black Hole is the origin of all disasters, and the people are innocent. Let the people return to a peaceful world and consider the survival of the country! Otherwise, more people will die under the Monster Horde, and the country will not exist!â
âBang!â
Frank slammed the table heavily and pointed at Andrew angrily, âOld man! I think you are thinking of betraying the country! Get out of here right now. From now on, you donât need to worry about all the political affairs of the Arctic Country!â
Andrew sighed. He turned around and left shakily.
Among the civil and military officials in the hall, many of them were Andrewâs disciples. When they saw their teachers and political leaders leaving, they took the initiative to leave with them.
âTheyâre rebelling! All of them are rebelling!â
Frank looked at the hall that was one-third empty in the blink of an eye and could not help but roar angrily.
At that time, a tall and dignified general stood out and said, âYour Majesty, Andrew is an old muddle-head. There is no need to get angry at him. The most important thing now is to get rid of the God-Slaying squad. I am willing to lead the army to kill them personally!â
Frank was overjoyed when he heard that and said, âAlexander, you are the number one war god of our Arctic Country. This battle that concerns the fate of the country can only be assured by you. You can do it! If there is any difficulty, I will solve it for you!â
Alexander lowered his head and looked at the route of the God-Slaying squad on the map. He said, âBased on their route, it is not difficult to determine their next move. Their last stop will definitely be Black Hole No. 0 in the far north. I will ambush them there and finish them in one go!â
âGood! Then what do you need?â asked Frank happily.
Alexander said, âI want all the soldiers who are special ability users in the army to be under my command. I want them to be equipped with the most advanced psionic weapons and lie in ambush at the periphery of the northernmost land. When they start fighting with the Monster Horde, I want them to be drowned by the sea of people!â
âGood! Good! Good! Weâll do it according to your request. We must kill this God-Slaying squad in the northernmost land!â
Frank nodded excitedly.
Thousands of miles away, in front of a Black Hole battlefield, the God-Slaying squad had ended the battle. They were resting and reorganizing on the spot. They were roasting meat of the monsters over a fire. The few of them sat together and drank wine that they had carried with them. They were chatting and laughing together.
Vincent sat alone on the high slope. He lifted his head and took a sip from the wine flask. He casually handed it over to Enoch, who could already sit up by leaning against a rock.
Enoch raised his only hand that he could move. He took the wine flask and drank a big gulp. He immediately choked and coughed.
Vincent looked at Enoch and nodded.
âNot bad! Youâve recovered quite quickly!â said Vincent.
Enoch placed the wine flask beside him. After wiping his mouth, he asked, âWhy did you save me? Do you want me to be a hostage, or do you want to obtain some benefits from me?â
After hearing that, Vincent smiled and said, âTake you as a hostage? Is there anyone in the Arctic Country who takes you seriously? With a hostage like you, who can I threaten? What benefits can I get?â
Enoch was not angry after hearing what Vincent said. Instead, he nodded his head in agreement and said, âThatâs true! Thatâs why Iâm curious why you brought me along and even treated my injuries. I donât believe that you have no reason for saving me!â
âThe reason is that when I saw you lying among the corpses and crying, I felt like you were a person who valued loyalty, so you were worth saving. Is that an okay answer?â asked Vincent with a smile.
After hearing that, Enoch took another big gulp of wine. He sighed deeply and said calmly, âDo you know how they all died?â
âTo save you!â
Vincent immediately replied.
After experiencing countless battles, Vincent only needed a glance to know the situation on the battlefield. In addition, he had also investigated Enochâs identity, which made it easier to deduce the situation at that time!
Enoch held the wine flask tightly and said, âThatâs right! Those soldiers were loyal to my father and also my brothers, but those who were bent on power did not care about the righteousness of the Human Race! The soldiers were all killed. In the end, it was my existence that harmed them!â
Vincent observed Enoch and asked tentatively, âWhat are you going to do after you recover?â
Enoch turned to look at Vincent. His eyes were filled with caution as he said, âAfter I recover, I will naturally be anxious about my fatherâs old subordinates. Fighting against the Monster Horde of the Black Hole depends on the cooperation of the Arctic Countryâs army. After the threat of the Black Hole is removed, I will go and avenge my father and those comrades who died. However, I will definitely not join hands with you and will not immediately cause chaos in Arctic Country. Donât even think about using me!â
Vincent smiled with an indifferent expression and said, âYou can think whatever you want, but I have to remind you that if I really wanted to plot against the Arctic Country, I would have done it long ago. Do I still need to make use of you? I just want to create a peaceful future for the Human Race. Other than that, I donât have any other interests!â
Enoch could hear the sincerity in Vincentâs words and heaved a sigh of relief. He said softly, âYour ambition is really great. I truly admire you! A good man is born between heaven and earth. He should do something great to help the world. Otherwise, wouldnât it be a waste of his life?â
âThen if I say that there is an important task that could save the Human Race and it was right in front of you, will you accept it?â
Vincent looked at Enoch and asked with a smile.
âOf course!â
Enoch answered without any hesitation.
