Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

When the last Bodhi tree sapling was condensed and handed to Qin Qingshan, Qin Yu's face turned deathly pale, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Grandson, are you alright?" Qin Qingshan quickly helped Qin Yu up.

"I'm not dead, I'm not dead." Qin Yu waved his hand weakly. "I just saw that I was too nauseous."

Qin Qingshan: "..."

After resting for a while, Qin Yu regained some strength and walked out of the general's mansion to meet up with Li Sisi and the others.

Afterwards, the group boarded a transport plane and flew away from Tiananmen Pass.

Their destination was Zhaoyang City, located in the southwest of China.

This area has not yet been invaded by the demon army, but it is only about 200 kilometers away from one of the invaded cities. It is expected that this area will be affected in less than half a day.

"Currently, there are two seven-star demon emperors, more than fifty six-star demon kings, and a demon army of more than five million in the southwest. The situation is extremely critical."

Li Sisi looked at the battle situation projected through the holographic image, her expression solemn.

Their main objective was to assist the local garrison in holding onto the remaining cities that had not yet been invaded.

However, due to the ongoing conflicts across the country, the number of personnel is far from sufficient.

This resulted in a significant disparity in strength between the human garrison in the southwest and the demon army.

Currently, there are only two Martial Emperors, over twenty Martial Kings, and approximately one million human soldiers in the entire Southwest region.

Between the two sides, apart from the highest-level combat forces which could barely contend with each other, the human race was completely defeated in the middle and lower-level combat forces.

Frankly speaking, even with the support of the four of them, the impact on the overall situation would be negligible.

But they had no choice; even knowing the dangers, they had to go.

Otherwise, once the entire southwestern region is occupied, all the cities in the heart of the Great Xia will be exposed to the demon army.

When that time comes, it will be a catastrophe for everyone in the Great Xia.

"Qin Yu, this trip is extremely dangerous. You must stay close to me, obey orders, and absolutely not act on your own, understand?" Li Sisi solemnly instructed.

But she found that the boy was completely absorbed in looking at his phone with Gao Ping, ignoring her words entirely.

Li Sisi walked over and looked at her phone screen.

I only see on the screen,

A scantily clad girl was performing a suggestive dance, while Qin Yu and Gao Ping were laughing and commenting on it.

"This girl's photoshopped! Look how distorted the wall behind her is!"

"Even if it's photoshopped, this girl's natural features are still pretty good. She'd definitely get a 7 or higher, and she's definitely worth keeping."

"Holy crap, Uncle Gao, you actually have 100,000 in your collection! How can you possibly keep track of all of them?!"

"You don't understand. Now that phones have a six-fold screen, I can watch six videos at the same time. No matter how I watch them, I'll still look good!"

"Wow~~~"

李思思：(?6?5?2?6?2?6)

"What the hell is going on? And you're still watching suggestive videos!"

Li Sisi snatched Gao Ping's six-fold screen phone and started cursing.

Qin Yu said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression:

"Sister Sisi, you misunderstood me. I just never understood why girls make these kinds of videos, or what they're trying to express, so I've been collecting them and watching them repeatedly, trying to understand them."

Gao Ping nodded in agreement, striking a pose of a great literary figure, and said with a melancholy expression:

"I can no longer distinguish between the vulgar and the elegant; I only know that the flowers are in full bloom, and it would seem that I am not appreciating them if I did not."

Li Sisi: "..."

Soon, at full speed, the transport plane arrived at Zhaoyang City's airport two and a half hours later.

The group traveled by special vehicle to the headquarters of the local garrison, where they met with the commander-in-chief stationed there, Lieutenant General Huang Longtian.

"General Huang, we are four Night Guards who have come to provide support." Fang Wen was the most senior of the four, so he spoke first.

"Hello." Huang Longtian saluted the four men and, without further ado, went straight to the point:

"Currently, the demon army is divided into two forces. One force is heading north, preparing to attack the central China heartland of the Great Xia. It is currently being defended by Lieutenant General Kang Hu, who is leading the troops stationed in Hande City."

"The other wave of demon army is heading west, preparing to attack the southern hinterland of Great Xia. I am currently leading the troops stationed here to defend against them."

"According to our intelligence network, the demon army currently advancing towards us mainly consists of a seven-star demon emperor, more than twenty six-star demon kings, and a demon army of about two million."

Upon hearing this, Fang Wen's expression darkened slightly, and he asked:

"What about our current defensive forces?"

Huang Longtian replied:

"Currently, I am the only Martial Emperor on our side, and there are six Martial Kings besides the four of you. As for the human garrison, there are approximately 40 people."

"As for the first large-scale reinforcements, according to the message from the imperial court, they will not arrive for at least three days."

Upon hearing this, Li Sisi and her group all became extremely solemn.

They had anticipated that this battle would be difficult, but they hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

Aside from the Martial Emperor realm, which is a one-on-one situation,

Once they reach the Martial King realm, each member of the human race must simultaneously contend with at least two or more Demon Kings.

For ordinary soldiers, the gap becomes even wider.

Each person must deal with at least five demon soldiers at the same time.

Moreover, this time they will not be fighting on city walls and passes where they can take advantage of the terrain, but will be fighting head-on against the demon army on flat ground.

Frankly speaking, in this situation,

Let alone holding out for three days,

Even holding out for half a day is extremely difficult.

"General Huang, what are your current plans?" Fang Wen asked.

Huang Longtian smiled wryly:

"As you have probably seen, the enemy's forces are vastly outnumbered. If we go to the open wilderness and face the demon army head-on, we will only be crushed by them."

"Therefore, my current idea is to retreat all human troops into the cities and use the terrain advantage to fight guerrilla warfare and street battles against the demon army!"

"You're going to fight in the city!?"

Li Sisi and her group were all taken aback upon hearing this.

This means that, regardless of the outcome of this battle, the city will be completely destroyed.

"What about the residents in the city? Have they all been relocated?" Li Sisi asked.

"About two-thirds have been transferred so far, as for the remaining one-third..." Huang Longtian didn't continue.

Li Sisi and her group fell silent. They all knew that, given the current situation, the remaining third of them would have to be sacrificed.
