Chapter 51: Outstanding Battle Achievements, Promoted to Squadron Leader

The two Abyssal Lords were furious. They looked at Sullo as if they wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.

They had spent so much effort to cut off the logistic camp’s supply, sneak attacked the commander of the third squadron, and almost broke through the Thunder God Army Camp.

But now, all their plans had lost their effectiveness. All of this was because of Sullo’s unexpected appearance.

Especially for the Scythe Abyssal Lord, who was furious and eager to go crazy.

It was his most talented son who had been in charge of ambushing the logistics camp.

Not long ago, he had lost contact with his son, and now, he saw Sullo leading the logistics camp to support the main camp.

How could it not have been more obvious to him that his precious son had already died in the logistics camp?

.

And looking at how everyone was supporting Sullo, the son’s death most likely had something to do with him.

But the Scythe Abyssal Lord knew very well that this battle could no longer continue.

First, the Thunder God Army’s Third Division, which had now received logistical support, could definitely hold their ground against them while waiting for reinforcements to arrive. 

Second, even if he wanted to stay and continue fighting the Thunder God Army to the death, the Flame Abyssal Lord beside him would not agree and would probably lead his army back immediately.

In fact, after the Flame Abyssal Lord retreated, he would take advantage of him once he returned with his own ruined army and use it to take over his minions while getting rid of him for good. 

That was just how demons were. Not only were they cruel and malicious to gods, but also to their own kind.

Therefore, the Scythe Abyssal Lord could only choose to retreat.

However, he was still unwilling to accept this.

The Scythe Abyssal Lord’s pupils suddenly widened. Its pair of blood-red eyes were like a bottomless abyss as if they wanted to devour everything.

The commander of the third team, Kai Shan, didn’t know how Sullo had managed to survive the attack and bring the remaining survivors and supplies from the logistics camp to them.

However, when he saw the Scythe Abyssal Lord’s actions, he couldn’t help but turn pale with fright.

“Not good, it’s the Eyes of the Abyss. It can crush the souls of any god who isn’t at a higher level than its caster,” Kai Shan shouted as he rushed towards Sullo.

However, it was already too late. A purple light shot towards Sullo like a bolt of lightning.

The Eye of the Abyss was a spiritual attack. It was shapeless and incorporeal. Even a defensive barrier couldn’t block such an attack.

Only a lord-tier abyssal demon would be able to comprehend this skill.

Even to just cast it once would weaken an Abyssal Lord for at least three days.

Kai Shan did not know what kind of deep hatred it was that would cause the Scythe Abyssal Lord to merely attack Sullo despite the war that was raging between the two parties.

However, he had a feeling that Sullo would remain unscathed. 

Even if the entire Third Division was wiped out, he couldn’t let anything happen to Sullo.

It was at this moment that a layer of golden light appeared around Sullo’s body before nine Immortal Lightning Dragons appeared. They weaved a lightning shield around Sullo.

The purple light broke through the divine body in an instant but was stopped by the lightning shield that the dragons had weaved.

“What is that? Aren’t the laws of lightning supposed to be offensive in nature? Why does it have defensive abilities?”

“In addition, a four-star god was actually able to withstand an attack from a sovereign-level expert?”

“Although Sullo is a reserve Thunder God candidate and a genius amongst geniuses, he can’t be so monstrous, right?”

The entire Third Division was stunned.

Even the squad leader, who had risked his life to save Sullo, was stunned on the spot.

What they didn’t know was that the Immortal Lightning Dragons had been created by fusing the indestructible divine body with the original Lightning Dragon.

The former was the most powerful law of defense, while the latter was the most powerful force of attack. After fusing, they naturally had the best abilities of both.

But of course, if that was all there was to it, it wouldn’t be enough for a four-star god to withstand an attack from a sovereign.

Otherwise, a sovereign expert’s power would be considered far too useless.

The main reason was Sullo had the divine armor.

This sovereign artifact had played its greatest role, withstanding more than half of the damage, which was why Sullo had been saved.

Otherwise, Sullo would have been reduced to a zombie-like, soulless body under the Eye of the Abyss’ attack.

After all, the soul attack of a sovereign expert was extremely terrifying, especially when it had its own negative effects on the caster itself.

Unfortunately, Sullo wasn’t an ordinary person.

In the demon army, the great Scythe Abyssal Lord almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw how ineffective his attack was. 

However, seeing the strange and unfathomable expression of the Flame Abyssal Lord beside him, he could only give out the order indignantly.

“Retreat!”

If he didn’t retreat back to his nest to recuperate, he would probably be eaten by his companion.

Seeing that the demon army had completely retreated, the Thunder God Army couldn’t help but cheer.

Everyone felt as if they had survived a disaster.

If it wasn’t for Sullo’s timely arrival, they would probably be finished.

The commander came in front of Sullo with a complicated expression and sighed. “I didn’t expect all of this to happen. I only wanted to protect you, which is why I let you stay in the logistics camp.

“But in the end, it was you alone who saved the entire Third Division when you were the one we were supposed to protect! If not for you defeating the demon army that ambushed the logistics camp and then rushing to rescue us in time, we would have all been wiped out.

“From now on, you will be the squadron leader for the Third Division. As for your current squad, we will integrate and assimilate with them to grow in our numbers.”

When these words were spoken, the members in Sullo’s Thunder Army squad couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

“That’s great. The Third Division has up to about 100 people!”

“No, the most important thing is that the squadron leader has the authority to recruit troops on his own.”

“In the future, the members of our squad will become the Captain’s independent armed force.”

“Tak! Is the Thunder God Army paying money to help the Captain support his troops? Why are you thinking of such a fantasy?”

“What’s the big deal? Our Captain is truly a rising star in the entire history of the Thunder God Army!”

“That’s right! The Captain is preparing for the Thunder God role. In the future, he will have the opportunity to compete for the position of Thunder God. Now that he has the authority to recruit troops on his own, he can build his own team. In the future, this means he will also have more confidence in competing for the position of Thunder God.”

The logistics officer also came in front of Sullo with a face full of envy and congratulated him.

“Congratulations, Captain Sullo. It’s only been a few days and you’re already on the same level as me. How about you take me in as well and I will be your adjutant. I’ll be able to handle all of the Third Division’s logistics.”

It seemed that the logistics officer was also deeply impressed by Sullo’s ability and the speed of his promotion.

His military rank was on the same level as Sullo’s, but he would rather be half a level lower than Sullo and become his adjutant. That was how much he respected Sullo.

Naturally, Sullo did not refuse and even said happily, “Okay. From now on, you will be my vice-captain. All logistics and internal affairs tasks will be handed over to you.”
