As soon as Xing heard about the disappearance of the one-eyed creature, he initiated a conversation with Wen Yu through their soul connection.
“Big boss…”
“I know what you want to say. The one-eyed creature has temporarily exited the combat sequence. The rest will be arranged by Lin Haifeng.”
Wen Yu's tone was calm, but the anxiety deep within him could not be suppressed.
Xing was taken aback by this, and before he could speak again, Wen Yu had already cut off the soul connection—he did not want to discuss the matter of the one-eyed creature with Xing in detail.
Until the connection was severed, Xing remained in a daze, until the rough electronic voice of the Black Tortoise War God rang out.
“What’s the situation?”
“The one-eyed creature has temporarily exited the combat sequence… I don’t know what happened…”
Xing was at a loss—Victor had been taken out by the Black Tortoise War God, and now even the one-eyed creature had withdrawn from the battlefield due to some unexpected factors.
Having always played the role of the “little brother,” Xing finally realized the severity of the situation at this moment…
The once cool and powerful Wen Yu was actually forced by the demonic clan into a corner with no options left!
At this moment, Xing suddenly realized that his big boss was not as all-powerful as he had imagined…
Seeing Xing's stunned expression, the Black Tortoise War God did not pay him much attention; he simply pondered briefly before speaking again.
“You all probably understand the situation. Although we won this battle, we lost the entire war in the Level Eight region. The Void Fleet has been dismantled, and conventional forces are ineffective. Based on the decisions from above, we have decided to completely abandon the Level Eight area of the Layered Battlefield…”
This was the anticipated decision, but when it was spoken, Qin Tian and the others felt nothing but sorrow.
Everyone thought that while Earth couldn’t possibly win against the demonic clan, a tenacious resistance shouldn’t be a problem. However, who would have thought that in just over ten days, the entire Level Eight region would fall?
But that’s not all…
“According to the rules of the Layered Battlefield, as long as we still have the ability to resist in the Level Eight area—even if it’s just one person—the Level Eight demonic creatures can’t breach the Level Eight area and move to the lower level areas. This is our opportunity, yes, our last opportunity…”
The Black Tortoise War God’s tone remained calm, but Lin Haifeng behind him had a face full of sorrow—rooted in Level Eight among the hordes of demonic clan, this mission had become a suicide mission…
But what was even sadder was that the weaker ones couldn’t complete such a mission; he could only choose the strong to undertake this suicidal task.
This was akin to personally delivering Earth’s future foundation right to the demonic clan’s doorstep.
But he had no choice…
As Wen Yu said, this time, their moment of sacrifice had finally arrived.
“The Black Tortoise War God will move to the portal in this continental plate. This will provide us with a fulcrum and strategic depth, and also facilitate the weapon energy supply for the Black Tortoise War God. However, as more and more demonic clan members enter through the Demon Realm Gate, there will come a time when the Black Tortoise War God will be overwhelmed… I need a strong individual to assist the Black Tortoise War God to delay the time before it is defeated.”
This task, strictly speaking, was not very dangerous—backed by the portal, they could retreat to other continental plates or even the Layered Battlefield Zone One Main City at any time.
But the three present, looking at each other, did not step forward.
Until the Black Tortoise War God named someone.
“Qin Tian, you go.”
Qin Tian was taken aback, and Arthur beside him quickly spoke up.
“You should go… Shaoan and Yaven… ah, one of us must survive.”
