Chapter 45: Frontline Barracks

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As they were on the frontlines, both sides had set up a large number of barrier formations near the battlefield to disrupt spatial teleportation.

Hence, Sullo and the others could only teleport to the nearest stronghold and take a shuttle to the battlefield.

The planet where the Thunder God Army was stationed had already been ravaged by the demon army.

All that could be seen were bare red earth and rocks. There was hardly any vegetation.

A large mountain not far away seemed to have suffered some kind of terrifying attack and was actually cut in two.

One side sat there like an old tree stump, while the other side rolled pitifully away.

The other places were also filled with devastation. Even the rivers and lakes had been extracted by the demon army and moved to the Abyssal Plane where resources were scarce.

Looking further into the sky, there were yellow planets. There were no living things on them, only broken walls.

Judging from the scale of the buildings, there used to be a large number of intelligent creatures living on those planets.

But now, this beautiful starry sky had been destroyed by the demon army.

On the other hand, the Thunder God army camp was particularly unusual in this devastated frontline battlefield.

There were many palaces, towers, and cloud boats.

The Thunder God Army members who were in charge of guard duties stood in the air, and there were also patrols carrying surveillance equipment between buildings.

At the periphery of the buildings, there were also many defensive facilities, such as magic towers, arrow towers, array formations, and so on.

After showing their pass, the group finally entered the camp.

But from time to time, miserable cries rang out, causing Sullo and the others to frown.

The logistics officer pulled a Thunder God Army patrol leader aside and asked, “What happened? Why are there so many injured?”

The patrol leader’s face was full of fatigue, his eyes somewhat listless as he answered, “We just fought a battle to the death with the demon army and many of our comrades were injured.

“However, the demons weren’t in a good mood either. The commander personally killed one of their demon lords, annihilating over a thousand lower-level demons, over a hundred middle-level demons, and over a dozen upper-level demons.”

A demon lord’s strength was comparable to that of a High God.

To be able to act as the commander of the Thunder God Army’s troops, one had to be at the sovereign level.

As for lower-level demons, their strength was comparable to that of a lower god. Middle-level and upper-level demons were equivalent to middle-level and upper-level gods respectively.

Upon hearing that they had killed a demon lord, Sullo and the members of the Thunder God squad couldn’t help but feel a hint of pride.

The Thunder God Army was indeed worthy of being called the most powerful army of the space-splitting civilization. They had actually been able to kill a demon lord and annihilate a demon army. Their power was truly formidable.

Under the lead of the logistics officer, Sullo finally met the ringleader of the third Thunder God Army Squad… Kai Shan, an incomparably powerful five-star intermediate sovereign.

“Oh? This is the reserve Thunder God who passed all the trials in the competition and displayed his brilliance?”

After the logistics officer’s introduction, Kai Shan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up as he sized Sullo up with some admiration.

The logistics officer first nodded, confirming Sullo’s identity, then shook his head and said, “Not only that. During the trial mission, Captain Sullo killed a five-star God with the power of a three-star demigod. His talent and power cannot be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Kai Shan couldn’t help but be startled. Only after a long time did he come back to his senses, clapping his hands in praise.

“Old men must move with the times! The young people of today are each more incredible than the last. As the saying goes, the new generation surpasses the old. It seems that we old bones are about to be eliminated.”

Hearing the praise of a sovereign-level expert, a hint of smugness couldn’t help but arise in Sullo’s heart, but he still said modestly, “Lord Commander, you’ve experienced hundreds of battles and your strength is extraordinary. You’ve even made outstanding contributions to Vogah’s divine domain. Right now, you’re in the prime of your life, so how can you say that you’re old?

“I’ve come to report to the Thunder God Army precisely because I wish to serve the Lord Commander. I also wish to do my part in killing the demons and tracing the source of the battle.

“If there’s a battle, Lord, please allow me to go to the frontlines, kill the demons, and make contributions toward our victory.”

When Sullo wiped out the rebels on the prison planet, he obtained 100 individual points and 10 team points.

Individual points could be used to raise his military rank. As long as he obtained 1,000 individual points, he could be promoted from a squad leader to a squadron leader.

It could also be used to exchange for some excellent equipment. For example, the Thunder God’s Hammer replica that he obtained previously required 10,000 individual points.

However, if one wanted to exchange for a replica of the Thunder God’s hammer, one had to either have outstanding talent and be valued by the higher-ups of the Thunder God Army, or you would have to have outstanding battle merits.

Sullo had just joined the thunder god Lord and received a replica of the Thunder God’s Hammer as a reward. It could be seen how highly valued he was by the higher-ups.

And other than the Thunder God’s Hammer, there were other types of God equipment that could be exchanged.

However, the current Sullo already had the true Thunder God’s Hammer plus his indestructible divine body.

One main attack and one main defense were enough for him to use for a long time.

The team points could be used to expand the size of the team or to exchange for team resources.

100 team points could expand the Thunder God squad to a Thunder God Squadron, which was the size of 100 people.

Currently, Sullo and his Thunder God squad only had one-tenth of the promotion points they needed to upsize.

Therefore, he couldn’t wait to go to the front line and kill some demons to obtain points, which would increase his military rank and expand the size of the Thunder God squad.

Apart from that, he could also test the strength of the twelve-winged Holy Angels and see if this demonic land was worthy of its name.

It was also a coincidence that they had just obtained the twelve-winged Holy Angels when they were about to deal with this demon problem.

If this was not giving away battle achievements for free, then what was?

However, what disappointed Sullo was that Kai Shan actually rejected him.

“Captain Sullo, we have just experienced a great battle and need some time to rest and reorganize. Therefore, there will not be any battle in the short term. In addition, the Demon Army has also been heavily injured by us. They will focus on defense and won’t provoke us.

“However, since you are so eager to make some achievements, this commander will arrange for you to go to the logistics department to help escort the supplies!”

With just a few words, Sullo’s request for battle was denied. Moreover, it was so reasonable that he could not find any reason to refute it.

“Sigh! Why is it so difficult to kill demons and build up battle achievements?”
