Chapter 135: 98 Death Storm with Infinite Enchantment (4000 words, please subscribe)

Facing enemies tens or even hundreds of times their own number, perhaps few people believe they could survive the battlefield. Yet in truth, the warriors of the Empire had long been accustomed to being outnumbered; after all, the Empire’s population was limited. Despite encouragement to increase birth rates, for reasons such as maintaining the stability and development of the country and ensuring the elite nature of the legions, the number of warriors clad in armor and ready for battle always remained limited.

Thus, when they faced the seemingly inexhaustible Catastrophe Legion, they had to learn to win despite being outnumbered.

This could perhaps be considered a form of evolution. In this harsh survival environment, as the potential of the Empire’s warriors was continuously unleashed, they really did develop tactics to win when outnumbered... or more precisely, they transformed knightly spirit into a sort of super group buff.

In fact, aside from a few exceptional knights, the majority of the Emperor’s Forbidden Army were ordinary people. If they were to fight one-on-one, without the special equipment of the Forbidden Army, they could barely manage to defeat a single Bloodletting Demon, who, as the lowest level war tool of the Catastrophe Legion, could be casually sacrificed. Therefore, on the battlefield, the individual combat capability of the Emperor’s Forbidden Army was almost negligible.

However, as soon as the Emperor’s Forbidden Army formed a unit of more than ten people, each full of unyielding faith in the knightly spirit, this belief would become tangible, transforming into a controllable force that strengthened the entire team’s combat power. If a single member of the Emperor’s Forbidden Army could only face a Bloodletting Demon, then once the fully equipped Emperor’s Forbidden Army reached a ten-man formation, they could withstand the charge of the most powerful ground assault units led by Bloodletting Lords and the Nine-Headed Blood Grinding Cavalry.

Furthermore, the larger the number of warriors in the unit, the stronger their power. Especially when there was a leading figure among them, he could even link the entire unit of hundreds into one entity, like a single person, with himself serving as the head named [Emperor’s Forbidden Army] and the warriors as the body and limbs of [Emperor’s Forbidden Army].

With the boost from this team buff, as long as the leader acting as the head did not die, the unit would not be scattered, even being able to distribute individual damage to some extent and immunize against fatal injuries.

Originally, when Gawain was in Hinamizawa facing the Nine-Headed Blood Grinding Cavalry, he was powerless to fight back, not only because it was night and his personal condition was at its lowest, but also because he was one accompanying knight short. Even including himself, there were only nine people. Otherwise, just by adding one more person, even if they were not from the Emperor’s Forbidden Army, he could have endowed the unit with a team buff and wiped out all enemies.

It was by relying on this special team buff that the Emperor’s Forbidden Army was able to continuously win against the odds and perform miraculous feats on the battlefield.

However, even so, except for a few breakthrough units like Gawain’s, other units of the Emperor’s Forbidden Army, even after forming linked units, still found it challenging to gain much of an advantage over the high-level legions led by Great Demons. After all, strong as the Emperor’s Forbidden Army might be, they were ultimately just super soldiers, while each of Khorne’s Great Demons had unparalleled combat strength, a single one equivalent to a Heroic Unit of an entire army. At this time, a like Heroic Unit, the Catastrophe Messenger, needed to take action.

Since Catastrophe Messengers have various abilities, not all of them are suitable for entering the battlefield. But any Catastrophe Messenger that did make it to the battlefield possessed extremely powerful strength.

Flillian, a seemingly petite, twin-tailed "girl", might not look particularly striking if judged solely by her appearance, aside from her delicate features. However, in reality, she was a Catastrophe Messenger with qualifications and rank on par with Haima, even surpassing Haima in individual strength and ranking, placing her fifth among the Catastrophe Messengers.

Flillian’s ability lay in fire, particularly adept at annihilation-type Fire Series Attacks. When she combined her power with the attack methods of magicians, she even developed a master technique—Purgatory—with a normal temperature reaching thousands of degrees and the core temperature exceeding ten thousand degrees, enough to melt high-level Demons on the level of Great Demons.

Such targeted assassination tactics also made her one of the few capable of killing Great Demons alone. She had a reputation for incinerating Great Demons on multiple occasions within the Catastrophe Legion and was even given a nickname—Flillian of the Cremation.

It could be said that her presence was deeply loathed by the Catastrophe Legion, and on the Legion’s assassination list, only Lancelot ranked higher than her.

At this moment, while Flillian attacked the visible enemies, she also searched for suitable opportunities to strike... After all, the lethality of Purgatory was too high, and there were no functions in reality to prevent friendly fire, so she could only target Great Demons that were far from her allies for targeted demolitions.

For instance, she could not strike at the three Great Demons fighting against Lancelot.

"Lancelot truly is incredible, being able to single-handedly fight against three Great Demons. Worthy of being a woman with the same hair color as mine."

Flillian muttered proudly to herself, when suddenly, she felt her body become light and somewhat unsteady on her feet.

Flillian was shocked. Although not every Catastrophe Messenger possessed the ability to fly, for a powerful and experienced Witch like her, flight had become an instinct. Even in battle, she should be able to maintain absolute balance—how could she suddenly feel so unsteady?
