Above the battlefield, three figures darted back and forth through the air like three sharp blades.
They were the three Evil-Suppressing Vice Generals serving under Jiang Chaosheng.
They had no need to tangle with ordinary monsters. Aside from keeping a close watch for Monster Kings that might surface at any moment, they mostly served as a firefighting squad.
Whenever a defensive line faltered or a Captain fell into danger, they rushed over in time.
Their task was to prevent excessive casualties.
"Aah!"
Just then, a cry of pain rang out at the eastern edge of the battlefield.
It came from a sixth-rank personal-guard Captain.
Two sixth-rank monsters had surrounded him. He was covered in blood, one arm bent at an unnatural angle, and a wound across his chest was deep enough to expose bone.
He had clearly suffered grievous injuries.
Without help, he likely had little time left.
Seeing this, the black-armored Vice General immediately moved, sweeping his spear as he rushed over to block the claw about to pierce the Captain's chest.
"Wretched beast, you're courting death!"
The black-armored Vice General roared, knocking the sixth-rank monster's claw aside with his spear before whipping it around and neatly smashing its head.
Then he swung with all his strength and hurled the spear, easily piercing the other sixth-rank monster's chest.
Among seventh-rank warriors, his strength might have been unremarkable, but against sixth-rank monsters, there was only one word for it-
Domination!
"Thank you for saving my life, General!"
The rescued Captain breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.
The black-armored Vice General waved a hand and casually stepped forward to retrieve his spear.
Yet just as he was about to pick it up, a tremendous roar suddenly erupted from the river.
He whipped his head around toward the sound.
