The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1618 459: The Final Sacrifice!

The morning sunlight shone on the Campbell camp in the Jing Shui Beach Territory, cloaking the mist-covered barracks in a layer of holy light.

Tens of thousands of soldiers had already gathered.

The infantry of the Campbell Duchy lined up in neat formations, their well-polished flintlock guns reflecting a chilling gleam under the morning light.

The citizen cavalry stood on their flank, while on the other side, the dwarf allies from the High Mountain Kingdom were also ready and waiting.

They caressed the heavy battle axes and firearms in their hands or carried massive war weapons, like bulls ready to charge at any moment.

Everyone was prepared for battle, their eyes burning with the desire for victory, honor, and land.

Beyond the Jing Shui Beach Territory lies the domain of Twilight City!

It was foreseeable that it would be a brutal clash, yet no one showed any sign of fear or hesitation.

Not only because the Holy Light always accompanied the faithful Campbell people, but also because Her Highness Erin Campbell stood with them.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Erin, clad in military attire with the Light of Praise at her waist, stepped resolutely onto a high platform improvised from wooden boxes.

To her left was the loyal Guard Knight Theresa; and to her right, a familiar face to the Campbell people—the distant Prince Colin from another land.

Seeing that familiar face on the platform, a whispering murmur quickly spread through the previously silent army formation.

"It's actually Prince Colin!?"

"Saint Sis above, His Highness has really returned!"

"Look! I wasn't lying, was I?! I saw him last night!"

"I thought so, no wonder Her Highness the Princess never showed up at last night's banquet, she was with His Highness the Prince!"

Colin's appearance not only injected a dose of enhancement magic potion into this expeditionary force but also dispelled the rumors of Her Highness Erin's disappearance during battle.

The morale of the soldiers visibly soared.

However, when their attention focused on Erin, seeing her bright silver hair, their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of indescribable regret and melancholy.

In the Campbell Duchy, the legend of the Light of Praise can be described as household knowledge, and its side effects are known by almost everyone.

The former Duke Aaron Campbell departed this world not long after the war ended because he overused the Light of Praise's power during the decisive battle against the Demon King in Thunder County, depleting his life force.

Now Her Highness Erin seems to be walking this same tragic destiny...

For the soldiers who respect and love her, this is undoubtedly a matter that complexed their feelings...

Standing on the platform, Erin naturally also noticed the worshipful gazes from the soldiers and the worry hidden behind that reverence.

Although she wanted to tell them not to worry about her, as Prince Colin had previously advised her, it's better to keep them concerned.

Everything revolves around the bigger picture.

Erin glanced at Quentin's fixed expression, then looked at the centurions and chiliarchs standing in front of the ranks.

Seeing no one noticing any anomaly in her condition, especially the keen-nosed dwarves showing no significant reaction, she finally settled the nervousness in her heart.

Suppressing a myriad of thoughts, Erin took a deep breath and began the last war mobilization before heading to Twilight City with a clear and resolute voice.

"Everyone!"

"'Champion' Rolandar and his minions have been slain; we successfully captured the Jing Shui Beach Territory, and the capital of Twilight Province, Twilight City, is right in front of us!"

"Now——"

"It's time to settle the score with the Chaotic Forces! Victory and glory will ultimately belong to us, bathed in Holy Light!"

"For the struggling citizens of Saint Sis under Chaos's corruption——"

"For Campbell——!"

The resonating voice echoed across the parade ground!

Her speech was impassioned and inspiring, thoroughly igniting the soldiers' emotions, with a thunderous chorus of shouts resounding to the heavens.

"For Campbell——!"

"For glory——!"

In the military formations, nearly everyone was in high spirits, except for the "Hunter Soldiers" standing at the corner of the formation, who wore bewildered expressions.

Nevertheless, this group of physically impaired "big dummies" usually looked like this, so no one cared why they were acting out of place with their surroundings.

Players "Village Headmaster Wang" and "Professional Submarine Repair" rubbed their eyes hard and pinched each other's arms hard.

After confirming everything in front of them wasn't an illusion, the two simultaneously drew in cold breaths and exclaimed in amazement.

"Holy shit..."

"Demon King?????"

Respected Lord Demon King actually stands beside the Hero!

Did the game developers mess up again?

Thankfully, not all here were "dummies." Several seasoned players were also here, joining the fun out of boredom.

"Earth-eating Rich Man" yawned, looking disdainfully at the two startled newcomers.

"Is this your first time playing the game?"

"Village Headmaster Wang" looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean..."

Wolf Limp: "That was several versions ago; back then, our Majesty frequently jumped back and forth between Hell and the Earth Surface."

Jade-faced Hand Tired King: "+1, you'll get used to it."

This was a year, maybe two years ago, and back then quite a few players even went to Thunder City to start their business ventures.
