Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 913

913 /922

Kyle barely noticed any of this. During this entire time, he was busy fighting on the frontlines. He had already suspected that Commander Levinian had been a spy, but he hadn't seen how things had gone down inside Fort U-878.

The only things he saw were the two or three attempts that Commander Levinian had made to kill him before dying to Fort U-878.

'Was this on purpose?' he thought. 'Did Commander Meristo and Major Sovignor send me to Fort U-878, knowing that Commander Levinian was a double agent, or was I just unlucky?'

'I shouldn't think about that for now. Surviving the onslaught of the Divine Beasts is more important.'

The defenses solidified again, and even more people gathered. By now, the humans were outnumbering the Demons four to one, which was a good and stable ratio.

Usually, five Shields needed to work together to kill a Demon in the same Realm, but there were also elite teams with three members or talented individuals.

Additionally, the humans were much better in a group than Demons. The Shields knew how to fight in big groups, while Demons always fought alone. On top of that, it was important to highlight that the Demons were primarily trying to get to Kyle. Sure, if somebody attacked them, they would fight back, but they wouldn't initiate combat with a human who didn't directly stand in their way. After all, they wanted to kill Kyle, not the others.

This gave the Shields the advantage of the first strike during a battle. The presence of a Magnet had a major impact on the frontlines. Whenever a Magnet was present, the number of military deaths reduced by over 30%.

If a Magnet could be paired with a Decimator, the effect would be even greater. If a Decimator were very effective and fast, they could keep an area of 200,000 kilometers clean from enemies.

With ten million Magnets of Kyle's skill and 50 million Decimators, Humanity's military deaths would drop by over 70% since there were even more Crushers and Primals on the frontlines than Sages.

Sadly, both positions required someone to have a True Sin Aura, and resisting Sin Flames was not easy.

Humanity had several Legendary Sages, but there were not more than a hundred. These Legendary Sages had the willpower to resist Sin Flames and could theoretically work as Decimators or Magnets.

Yet, even if someone managed to become a Unique Sage, it didn't necessarily mean that they could operate normally while under the effects of Sin Flames. When a Fulfilled Sage went through the Sixth Refinement, they were usually writhing in pain. They wouldn't be able to fight or focus on anything else. To them, it was a battle of life and death that required all of their focus.

While the strongest of them could still move and do things during the Fifth Refinement, which was as painful as Sin Flames, they wouldn't be able to operate effectively or efficiently. They would not be very useful.

So, even though Humanity had trillions or quadrillions of Seekers working for them, they didn't even have a million people who could operate efficiently while under the effects of Sin Flames.

As Kyle watched the battles, he also saw the team of Sect Members leaving. They needed all five members to operate effectively, but two of them had been incapacitated by the Sin Flames.

Luckily, the team of Sect Members from Fort S-878 was replaced with the team from Fort U-878. For now, the Lieutenant General had assumed command of the Fort, but she would leave as soon as possible. Since she was currently the Commander, her lack of Karmic Luck also extended to her people. Due to her negative Karmic Luck, the orders she spoke had a higher likelihood of ending badly, just because of several instances of damaging coincidences.

Any Commander had to have at least a Minor Hero Aura.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for a replacement to arrive. Whenever a new Commander was needed, one of the powerful Spirit Lords of the Shields would assume the position. Usually, these Spirit Lords were fighting near the Y or Z Forts.
