Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Most of the branch leaders initially thought something was wrong when they received the message, but after confirming it several times, they all fell silent.

Shi Kai, the leader of the [Wise Ones] branch, placed the message he had just received on the table, remained silent for a long time, and then smiled slightly:

"This is getting interesting. Are you the person I've been waiting for?"

The leader of the third detachment, a girl with pigtails wearing a white dress, read the message several times after receiving it, and took a deep breath:

“Father is right. There are always people better than you, and there are always mountains beyond mountains. There are many geniuses outside the capital. I must not be complacent or arrogant.”

……

The fourth front, Black Reef.

Within minutes, the tide began to recede in the opposite direction from the black reef, and the demonic tide began to retreat.

One by one, the lizards scrambled away like stray dogs, some even ignoring the mermaids falling into the water behind them, frantically paddling their limbs, just wanting to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

Originally, their attack plan was only a small-scale attack, and the fifth-tier beings were only there to provide support. However, they did not expect that neither of the two fifth-tier demons would return; they were both defeated on the shore of the black reef.

Therefore, the remaining monsters naturally dared not fight anymore, and did not even dare to call for reinforcements. If they called for more ordinary reinforcements, it would undoubtedly be giving Luo Xiu a victory.

In an instant, roars and cries echoed across the sky, shattering the silence of the starry night.

[Demon Extermination] The crowd watched the demons fleeing in all directions in silence.

It's been so long since we've seen a scene like this. Since Selena's death, although they've had many successful campaigns, they've only been defensive ones.

Strategically speaking, several successful defenses may not be as valuable as a single successful offense.

This scene of monsters howling and fleeing has never been seen in the past eight years.

Amu looked around at the crowd, who were now in a tense atmosphere, and took a deep breath:

"I will go and apologize."

"Don't feel guilty or discouraged. It was a decision we made together at the time to refuse anyone else to become our deputy commander."

"Although it may not seem like the right decision now, haven't we successfully held this front line after so many years of hard work?"

"Perhaps..."

Amu paused for a moment:

"Perhaps this decision needs to be changed today."

Seeing that everyone remained silent, and that his words of comfort seemed to have no effect, Amu, though also feeling distressed, raised his voice and spoke again:

"Get your act together!!! Lift your heads up!!!"

After everyone looked up, Amu shouted in a low voice:

"I said I would apologize. The brothers have done nothing wrong and don't have any psychological burden. Those who want to leave or can't accept it can quit. No one will blame you."

"But [Demon Slayer] cannot just disappear like this. It is the only thing that Lady Selena left behind. If [Demon Slayer] is gone, the last trace of Lady Selena left in this world will be erased."

"The new leader and her deputy have already proven their strength to us. We, the Demon Slayers, are not cowards, we are not sore losers, and we are not incapable of bowing our heads. If we make a mistake, we will correct it; if we lose, we will admit it."

"Don't you want to push the battle lines forward?"

"Don't you want to exterminate those beasts?"

"Do you still remember what Lady Selena's wish was? Have you forgotten?"

Amu turned to look at the burly man beside him:

"Babelp, you tell me, what is Lady Selena's vision?! Speak!"

The burly man, whose face had been ashen, immediately straightened up and spoke after being called by Amu:

"Lady Selena's vision is to slaughter monsters for thousands of years and advance the battle line by tens of thousands of meters!"

"very good."

Amu nodded, and seeing that everyone around him had also looked up, he spoke softly:

"We have been slaughtering demons for thousands of years, and we [Demon Exterminator] have persisted in advancing our battle lines by tens of thousands of meters, but we have never been able to succeed. However, these new gentlemen have shown me our only chance."

"If we miss this opportunity, it would be a real shame to let down Lady Selena's hard work."

After Amu finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

……

……

Luo Xiu dragged the enormous carcass of the flooded lizard step by step onto the Black Reef, while Leila, who had transformed back into human form, jogged over from a distance.

"Master, Leila, come and drag me!"

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

Luo Xiu smiled slightly, grabbed the water lizard, and instantly appeared in front of Leila. The corpse, which looked like a small mountain, had no weight at all.

Leila took the lizard from the water, and Basil, who was standing nearby, also put away the giant hammer and came over, voluntarily joining in the work of dismantling the corpse.

"Will the commander do it himself?"

Luo Xiu joked.

"Nonsense! We're short-handed!"

As the only one among Luo Xiu's retinue who dared to glare at him and act out, Luo Le glared at him with his big eyes:

"Come help me out! How long are we going to finish this tonight with just Leila and me? Aren't we going to sleep?!"

Luo Xiu smiled helplessly:

"Even with me included, we probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Just wait, Lord Basil, someone should come to clean up the battlefield."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier from the Knights ran quickly from a distance to the group, saluted, and said:

"Reporting to you, sirs, as per Lord Novamp's orders, our Seventh Division has just finished dismantling most of the low-level monster corpses, and the rest are being moved!"

"Thank you."

Luo Xiu smiled gently.

"For Dorrant, my lord!"

The soldier was flattered and stood up straight as he spoke.

"For Dorrant."

Luo Xiu nodded, preparing to hand over the corpse of the fifth-tier demon beside him to the Seventh Division for help in dealing with.

"and many more."

Just then, Amu arrived from afar, stopped the soldiers who were about to collect the monster's corpse, and knelt down on one knee in front of Luo Xiu and the others:

"My lords, please leave the task of cleaning up the battlefield to us. Consider it an apology for offending you. We do not ask for your forgiveness, but only hope that you can give us a chance to make amends."

Seeing Amu suddenly kneel down on one knee, Luo Xiu remained silent. Given his current status, this was not the time for him to speak.

He looked at the basil beside him.

Basil's expression was serious, and he was not moved by Amu's kneeling.

Amu lowered his head, guessing that what followed was a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Basil.

But he was prepared to stay no matter how harsh Basil's words were.

"Is this your idea, or your group's idea?"

As soon as Basil finished speaking, Amu looked up in surprise and stared blankly at Basil.

Basil frowned:

Didn't you hear me? Should I repeat it?

"No, no, that's not necessary."

Amu stammered for a moment, then quickly said:

"This is the wish of all the former [Demon Slayer] soldiers behind me. Please forgive our previous rudeness. We former [Demon Slayer] soldiers are eager to return to the Fourth Division."

As Amu finished speaking, the sound of armor clashing echoed behind him, and nearly ten thousand Demon Slayer soldiers knelt on one knee in unison, speaking in unison:

"We hope that the commander of the Fourth Division can forgive our rudeness and offer you our sincere apologies. We hope you can give us a chance!"

The voices of nearly ten thousand people united as one, creating a force no less powerful than the commotion of the demonic tide just moments before, resulting in an extremely spectacular scene.

Thousands of meters away, Novamp watched the scene with great interest through his binoculars:

"Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Basil is just as kind-hearted as Lord Luo Xiu. If it were me, I would definitely make sarcastic remarks first, and then think of a way to humiliate him properly."

Lip, who was standing to the side, curled her lip. She wasn't interested when the fight was going on, but now she was getting excited watching the spectacle.

They looked at it, and then they even stole my binoculars.

Basil looked at the kneeling crowd, his eyes flashing, and slowly spoke:

"If forgiveness is too easy, then making mistakes seems to have no cost."

Upon hearing this, the members of the [Demon Slayer] group felt a chill run down their spines. Were they really going to be expelled from the Fourth Knights?!

This is not impossible. Although the Demon Slayer Corps is a well-trained elite unit, apart from the fourth-tier soldiers, the remaining third-tier soldiers are not exactly rare talents.

In Rovanp, the second largest city in Dorant, there are as many adventurers of rank three and below as you can get your hands on.

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. Just as Amu was about to plead a few more times, Basil spoke up again:

"A three-month probationary period will be implemented."

"Within three months, anyone who fails to meet my requirements will be kicked out of the sub-team. Can you do that?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as Basil was willing to give them a chance, it meant there was still room for maneuver.

"Yes!!!"

The soldiers immediately responded with delight.

Basil nodded, her expression unchanged.

"The first requirement is to complete the cleanup and clearing of the remaining battlefield within fifteen minutes."

A hint of surprise flashed in Amu's eyes after hearing this.
