The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 143: England Hopes Every Officer and Soldier Diligently Perform Their Duties

"So we just watch him slaughter these officers?"

"What else? Do you want to start an all-out war with the 'Dragon' in Shanghai for these Illusion Realm natives?!"

"..."

The young man was speechless, his clenched fists trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Tia patted the young man's shoulder, letting out a long, wistful sigh.

"Frey, be mature. The Empire in the Illusion Realm is just a projection of past glory. Don't get too caught up in it!"

After speaking, Tia remained silent for a long time, looking at the bloodstained, brutal battlefield, and sighed with deep meaning.

"Moreover, that guy might not be using his full strength. Even if we intervene, we might not be able to save them."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale.

If they didn't know Tia had an extraordinary innate perception, they wouldn't believe this at all.

"It's come to this point, and he's not using his full strength?!"

"That makes no sense!"

"Wait! Could it be... he's guarding against us?!"

The moment this was said, everyone felt a chill run from the base of their spine straight to the top of their skull, raising goosebumps all over.

"He knows we haven't gone far!"

"He knows we're watching in secret!"

With a few words, they figured out the reason, and the group felt their scalps tingle, as if they narrowly escaped from death's door.

"So he's accounted for us from the start!"

"But even so, he launched the attack without hesitation."

"Is he waiting for us to get involved so he can kill us all together?!"

Anger, shock, fear... various emotions churned in their hearts, their faces constantly changing, finally turning into a bitter and helpless sigh.

"What the hell is this monster?!"

Looking at the ravaged buildings in the distance, observing the intense and bloody battle, everyone let out an even more dejected sigh.

"It's over; we're stuck in a cycle of slow suicide."

"The front line doesn't dare to retreat; if they retreat, the back line dies!"

"The back line doesn't dare to withdraw; if they withdraw, the front line dies!"

"We're stuck!"

"It seems that in the end, only Quasi-General Harvey might survive..."

On the gruesome battlefield, Quasi-General Harvey felt his initially raging heart being chilled by ice water, growing colder.

In just a few minutes, more than half of the twenty-plus army officers had died, though they all fought desperately to leave wounds on the enemy before dying...

But what made Quasi-General Harvey despair was that those wounds were closing up and scabbing over at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At this rate, in just a few hours, all the scars on the enemy would completely disappear!

This inhuman self-healing ability turned the results achieved by the Empire's elites at the cost of their lives into a joke!

What's more, Quasi-General Harvey despaired at the enemy showing no signs of fatigue or exhaustion.

On the contrary, the more he fought, the braver he became, as if he was invigorated by stimulants, growing more frenzied and ecstatic with each enemy he killed!

Looking at the battlefield littered with mangled corpses and severed limbs, the scarlet blood covering the entire banquet hall, Quasi-General Harvey's heart ached as if gripped by invisible hands.

No!

No more deaths!

These young men are the future pillars of the navy and army!

They can't be senselessly lost at the hands of this monster!

They are the Empire's hope for the future!

Gritting his teeth, Quasi-General Harvey steeled his heart and activated the death battle system within his armor.

Szzz~

Amidst the faint sound of steam, six tubes hidden within the armor pierced his skin, injecting the thick liquid into his veins instantly!

The next second, an uncontrollable euphoria and destructive urge surged into his mind!

All negative emotions like fear, sorrow, and pain vanished in an instant, replaced by indescribable confidence and courage.

Quasi-General Harvey felt an endless surge of power inside him, and for a moment, he thought he could match a God!

But his remaining sanity told him this was just an illusion caused by the drug exhausting his life, and he had to seize the limited time to give the young men a chance!

"Royal Navy, heed my command: cut off the sealing skill, and everyone retreat immediately!"

Quasi-General Harvey let out a low roar, the complex patterns on his gold-plated armor blooming with radiant spirit light, and the eye-visible magic power flowed within, condensing into a unique and poignant magical halo.

Seeing this death battle symbol that they had only seen in textbooks, every Brittania officer's eyes shimmered with tears. Instead of obeying orders, they gripped their weapons tightly and chanted quietly in unison.

"England expects that every man will do his duty!"

Realizing that these young men had resolved to die, Quasi-General Harvey glared angrily.

"No! Go now! Cover the navy's retreat!!"

"General..."

"This isn't a war! This is a massacre! You can't die meaninglessly! Remember to avenge me! Make the entire Qing Country pay!"

Boom!

Noticing the signs of Zhu Haomiao's attack, Quasi-General Harvey took the initiative, his life-overdrafting medicine granting him unimaginable strength.

His explosive power and speed were no longer inferior to the enemy's, forcing him back with a single blow!

Staring intently at Zhu Haomiao, Quasi-General Harvey didn't dare to turn his head, violently driving his beloved Magic Armor at full throttle, squeezing every potential out of both the armor and his spirit and body, while issuing an angry low roar to his subordinates behind him.

"Don't let my death be in vain!"

"Retreat! That's an order!"

He had to hold this monster back to buy time for the young men's escape!

And hearing their commander's roar, the young men hesitated no longer, starting to retreat in order, ready to cover the naval mages' withdrawal.

However, Zhu Haomiao's gaze bypassed the general who was as if facing a great enemy, looking at those young officers who were filled with hatred and unwillingness.

"If you don't want to go, then none of you are leaving!"

Suddenly raising his gaze, a wild burst of essence exploded from the depths of his dark and sinister pupils, the energy that had been accumulated for a long time burst forth violently!

[Storage Explosion]!

Boom!

It was as if a phantasmal explosion sounded in his ears, the highly compressed energy sprayed out from his Dantian, instantly flooding the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Almost at the same time, noticing Zhu Haomiao's movement, Quasi-General Harvey took preemptive action, charging towards him with the resolute momentum of mutual destruction.

"Don't even think about it!"

However, before the words were finished, the massive target in front of him vanished without a trace, leaving only an afterimage. Even with Quasi-General Harvey's perception at that moment, he couldn't track the enemy's movement.

The next moment, a shrill scream echoed from behind him.

"Ah!!"

Squeak~

The alloy-cast soles produced smoke as they screeched on the floor. Quasi-General Harvey abruptly turned his head, seeing Zhu Haomiao had already "Instant Teleported" among the mages, punching a young naval officer straight through.
