Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

So the first step is to extend this timeline.

Now, it remains to be seen whether these guys on the other side will fall into their trap, and whether Basil can seize the opportunity.

Luo Xiu smiled as he looked at the people opposite him.

As expected, after a moment of stunned silence, Amu and the others all burst into laughter.

"Are you saying you want to expel us from the [Demon Slayer]?"

"Yes."

Basil nodded expressionlessly.

"Now, please withdraw from this front immediately."

Amu smiled:

"sure, no problem."

"Honestly, it's great that you've taken over this mess. We'll withdraw from the fourth front and watch your performance closely to see how you display your prowess."

His tone was almost mocking, as he felt that the man in front of him, Basil, was nothing but a brute and could not be compared to the previous deputy commander, Selena. Therefore, he became even more contemptuous of Basil.

But Luo Xiu thought to himself:

"It's here, the time has come."

Basil nodded:

"You're welcome to watch, but now, all of you, get out of here."

"The entire Demon Extermination Corps has nearly 10,000 members, but the front line they've been guarding hasn't advanced even a meter in all these years. Honestly, you bunch of useless trash are just wasting the Knights' resources by staying in the Knights' Order."

"I had high expectations for the Knights of Rowanp, but now I'm quite disappointed. Our Knights of Kanriel have just wiped out the Mushroom Monsters and dealt a devastating blow to the Demon Bats. It seems you have nothing to brag about."

Basil's words were like a sharp, long knife, precisely piercing the untouchable points of the people in front of him.

The people of Rowangp are known for their simple and honest nature, but this also makes them extremely susceptible to provocation. A burly man standing next to Amu immediately rushed forward, his neck stiffening as he roared:

"Damn it, you little brat, say that again?!"

"You know nothing! Can those two races of monsters from Kanriel compare to mermaids and swamp lizards? You Kanriel just won one battle by luck and you're bragging about it. If it weren't for us, Rauwanpu, guarding the south, the kingdom would have been destroyed long ago!!"

"Do you think a little girl like you can judge all the sacrifices we've made over the years? Are you looking for death?!"

"I think you're alive—"

"boom!!!"

The earth-shattering sound interrupted the man's speech.

Dust billowed up and settled on everyone's heads.

As the giant hammer in Basil's hand fell, it blasted a large crater two meters to the side of the burly man, and half of the man's clothes were torn open by the storm caused by the impact.

Under the burly man's shocked gaze, Basil sheathed his giant hammer and spoke calmly:

“You have been expelled from the Demon Extermination Group. Anyone outside the group who dares to speak disrespectfully to the group leader should be executed on the spot. I spared your life because you guys have worked hard all these years, even if you haven’t made any great contributions.”

"Now, get out of here."

Basil's words were merciless. Across from him, Amu's face darkened. Staring at the giant hammer in Basil's hand, he took a deep breath and pulled the person beside him aside:

"let's go."

"Since this commander is so capable, let's just wait for good news."

Soon, the tents on the Black Reef, as red as blood, were taken down, and all the soldiers of the [Demon Slayer] withdrew from the battle line, retreating a full five hundred meters.

Only Luo Xiu, Luo Le, and Lei La remained in this area.

How did I perform?

Silent for a long time.

Basil looked up at Luo Xiu beside her.

She realized that Luo Xiu had deliberately kept silent, just as he had rushed out first when they first entered the branch, in order to show that she was the one who was about to take over as the branch leader.

"Did I disappoint you?"

Basil looked at Luo Xiu, her big eyes showing the same stubbornness as always, yet feigned indifference.

It's the kind of look that even if you say "yes," I won't cry, but inside I've already cried several times, and afterwards I'll have red eyes and secretly call you an idiot.

Luo Xiu smiled:

"I have no question of whether I'm disappointed in you. You've protected Kanriel for so long at such a young age. Even if I wanted to say something bad about you, the residents of Kanriel probably wouldn't agree."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, Basil lowered his head:

"Oh...all you can say are pretty words."

She suddenly felt fortunate that she was short, because if her eyes reddened, the tall man next to her wouldn't notice as long as she lowered her head.

But Leila was only slightly taller than her, so Leila reached out and wiped her cheek.

"You did a great job, Sister Basil, you did a great job."

Leila's gentle voice almost made Basil burst into tears.

"Now there's good news and bad news."

Luo Xiu spoke, causing Luo Le to raise his head.

"The good news is that Leila and I used to sleep outside a lot, so we carried a tent in our magic pockets."

"Where's the bad news?"

Basil sniffled, trying to hold back her sobs.

"The bad news is that the tent we brought isn't waterproof."

Luo Xiu smiled and winked:

"We might have to sleep in the water tonight."

Basil grinned, forcing back her tears.

"Anyway, if there's a demonic tide, you're in charge of fighting the strongest ones."

"of course."

Luo Xiu bowed respectfully.

“I will obey His Excellency Basil’s orders.”

not far away.

The members of the "Former" [Demon Slayer] squad glared at Luo Le and his companions with hostility.

Beside Amu, the burly man still looked indignant:

"Of all the people we've met in the past eight years, this little brat is the most inhuman. She comes up here and calls us useless. What does she know?!"

Amu's eyes were calm:

"Alright, don't be angry, Babelp. We just need to wait. When she realizes what a stupid decision she made, she will naturally come back to beg us."

The woman beside Amu said softly:

"Captain, do you think it's possible they really..."

"Absolutely impossible."

Amu shook his head.

"Unless she is a sixth-order rank."

"Otherwise, even if she survives the demonic tide unscathed, she will still have to bear the consequences if the battle line is pushed back by hundreds of meters."

"Wait, then."

He gave a cold laugh:

“These guys from Kanriel think that just because they've won against a few remnants, everywhere is the same. They haven't seen the horrors here.”

"They will regret it."

And several thousand meters away from the [Demon Slayer] branch.

A woman who appeared to be an adjutant lowered her binoculars and looked at Novamp beside her:

"Boss, there's absolutely no movement over there."

"Ok, I know."

Novamp put a peach in his mouth, took a bite, and looked completely indifferent.

"Lipp, relax a bit, have a peach, and stop staring at the binoculars all the time."

"How is this okay?!"

The woman's eyes widened:

"This is a mission personally assigned to our Seventh Regiment by the Regiment Commander. If the fourth front falls, we need to fill the gap immediately."

She picked up the binoculars again and looked:

"Boss, tell me, is that new deputy commander really stupid or just plain stupid? He actually kicked out [Demon Slayer] and is now guarding the front line all by himself. Isn't that just plain stupid?"

Novamp shook his head, pulled a handkerchief from the woman's breast pocket, and wiped the peach juice from his lips:

"She's not being stupid."

"Don't worry, the fourth front will not fall."

Hearing Novamp's confident tone, the woman put down her binoculars with a hint of doubt.

"why?"

"There's a monster here! There's a monster here!"

Novamp sighed:

“I really want to tell the adults that it’s not necessary at all, but they won’t listen to me. They always say I’m talking nonsense, but I really wasn’t talking nonsense this time.”

"If you insist on looking through the telescope, then keep looking, Lip. Soon you'll see what the real monster looks like."
