Chapter 81 Comfort
"Please spare us... We were just forced..."
The leading ancient demon at the peak of level three knelt down on the spot and made a request to this person, but the soldier just shook his head gently, as if he was regretful and lamenting.
Then, he was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand to these demon refugees.
"Get up first, I didn't come here to kill you."
"I'm here to help you."
The fluent demon language came out from the soldier's mouth. Hearing this, the more than ten demons were all stunned. After a moment, the light of hope suddenly appeared in their eyes.
For these demon civilians who were forced to rush out of the gate of the demon world, even the friendly words of the enemy were enough to awaken the only remaining hope in their hearts.
"Sir, you are..."
The demon spoke in disbelief.
Then he got a reply.
"My name is Marquez, you know this enough."
...
Among the ten demons, there are old people, children, and three adult ancient demons with combat capabilities.
They are said to have combat capabilities - only in the third level area...
As demons, they can only live in the third level area, but humans and mutants are different. Any area of the entire layered battlefield is the territory of native creatures on Earth. In other words, these demons may encounter seventh-level or even eighth-level professionals and mutants here.
Just as the soul puppets released by the demon spirits are compared to the residents of the third area, the soldiers and even the hunting teams sent by Fran are no different from natural disasters for these low-level demons. As long as they meet, they will be sentenced to death!
Humans and demons cannot coexist!
This is a consensus.
But today, this consensus has gone wrong with someone...
...
"My name is Marquez, the commander of the 562nd Army of the Yanjing Military."
At this point, Marquez paused briefly and then continued.
"It doesn't matter what my identity is. What's important is that I'm here to help you. Just knowing this is enough."
The commander of the 562nd Army of the military seems to be in a high position, but in fact he is not a very important official. The one who died on the front line of the third district was the commander of the 333rd Army. From the fact that Fran was not even moved by the death of the commander of the 333rd Army, it can be understood that the identity of this commander is not very valuable...
This is indeed the case.
Thinking of his identity, Marquez fell into contemplation for a short time.
He didn't even understand what went wrong!
When he first joined Yanjing, Lei and Marquez were the top generals in Yanjing! They were outstanding in strength, and even at a certain time, they were selected by Lin Haifeng as a trump card to check Wen Yu.
However, everything that happened afterwards changed fundamentally.
Lin Haifeng didn't know why he suddenly lost interest in Lei and Marquez. The two were constantly marginalized. Now, Lei and Marquez can only lead a corps that is not considered the main force and do some insignificant things.
The order of the former Demon Lord - about protecting Tang Haofei and Lin Haifeng, naturally became completely false.
Lin Haifeng did not trust them, and Tang Haofei did not need their protection. In short, the two completed their tasks in a mess. What's worse is that after they turned into humans, they completely lost contact with the Demon Lord and even the Demon Palace. Now, Marquez feels like a ghost wandering in the world, empty, lonely, unable to find the goal of life, and even unable to find the way home...
Until he heard the news circulating in the army.
"The demons are invading in large numbers! They are not warriors, but some poor civilians..."
It's pitiful, but there is no sympathy in the military. For normal people, the demons are just demons. There is no such thing as the army and civilians, so naturally there will be no mercy!
But this does not apply to Marquez.
He felt that he had found the meaning of life...
He wanted to save his people...even if it was only a very small part.
...
"So, the demon world is in chaos, and the demon spirits have initiated a reckoning..."
The demons behind him chattered about everything that happened in the demon world and explained it to Marquez. Marquez thought for a while and shook his head.
As a former sequence hunting team, he was directly under the Demon Palace, obtained his identity through Fili's channel, and then passed through the gate of the demon world to attack the sequence - he had not been to the surface demon world much, and similarly, he did not have deep feelings for the surface demon world.
What the demon spirits are like, what the surface demon world is like, has nothing to do with Marquez directly.
What he wants now is just to save some ancient demons, which can be regarded as leaving some psychological comfort for himself who is far away in a foreign country.
Along the way, the group walked very slowly and bumped into each other. They met military personnel and even lone walkers on the way, but given Marquez's identity, no one dared to step forward and meddle in other people's business. As the road became longer and longer, the team behind Marquez became larger and larger, but without exception, they were all ancient demons.
Marquez didn't bother to pay attention to the monsters of other races he encountered...
Just like that, when Marquez arrived in front of a cave, there were already thousands of ancient demons following him.
"We're here."
Marquez said this, and then walked into the cave first.
...
The entrance of the cave looked dilapidated, but there was a different world inside.
This is a storage place for materials left behind when the infrastructure of District 3 was under construction.
The materials and other things are naturally gone, but the place is still there, and it has been abandoned - abandoned means that no one will come here, and safety is guaranteed.
When Marquez brought more than a thousand ancient demons behind him to the deepest part of the underground, the silent abandoned building finally welcomed its owner again.
"From now on, this is your new home..."
Marquez said so, and then looked behind him.
I saw gratitude, fear, and uneasiness in the eyes of the ancient demons.
Marquez understood, understood the needs and yearnings of these ancient demons for safety, but in the current situation, this is the best condition Marquez can give.
He pondered for a short time, and then spoke again.
"I will deliver materials and other things to you every day. You stay here for the time being. When the situation changes, I will notify you."
The brief comfort is just comfort - the situation cannot change. Even if Marquez saves them, they can only survive in this hopeless underground for the rest of their lives.
For these demons, this kind of life seems to be no different from death. However, the fact is that Marquez just wants them to live and leave some comfort for his soul...
A selfish choice made by a selfish person.
That's all.
