When he heard the footsteps, Allen immediately sat up. He didn't fall asleep. He just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. His armor was on his body, and Gojoseon was by his side. Edward's voice sounded from outside the door, "We have guests."
Visiting late at night was naturally not a good guest.
Allen took his saber and went out. Edward gestured for the two of them to come to the horse pen near the wooden house. The horses in the horse pen were very uneasy. Fortunately, they were all wearing horse masks over their mouths, so they didn't cry out. A warrior was pacifying the horses. Allen and the others passed through the horse pen and hid behind the horse trough. Edward pointed in the direction of the mine gate. Allen poked out half of his head from behind the horse trough and looked up.
The night was dark and the stars were dim. However, with Allen's current strength, every weak ray of light could be used and magnified. As the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy rumbled in his body, a faint blush appeared in Allen's eyes, and the world in his line of sight gradually brightened. He saw black shadows flickering on the cliff in the direction of the gate. Some humanoid creatures with long hands and feet were quietly climbing over the mountain peak towards the bottom of the mine.
Allen's gaze fell on one of them. He could see that these fellows had light gray skin and were hairless. Their skin was skinny and bony, especially their spines, which almost protruded out, clearly leaving behind bone markings on the surface of their skin. Their palms and feet were disproportionately large and long, especially their palms, which were simply claws. Black and curved fingernails grabbed everything they could catch like hooks. Creatures with only rags tied to their waists crawled down like a group of geckos.
Shadow Demon!
Allen thought of the name that Ian often said and looked at Edward. The latter nodded and said, "We discovered them ten minutes ago. However, these fellows are not in a hurry to attack. They seem to be waiting for something."
"Let our men prepare. Fares will know what to do." Allen gestured for Edward to leave first while he stayed here to observe.
The wooden house in the mine looked very quiet, but in fact, it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Under Fares's arrangement, the ordinary people in the caravan were gathered in a spacious room on the second floor of the wooden house. The Inch Fire Archers were distributed near the windows on the second floor, occupying advantageous shooting positions. Adele and Lucy stayed here, and they would be the firepower nodes that supported the Inch Fire Archer.
The warriors of the King Of Mountains and the rest of the soldiers were ready at the bottom of the wooden hut. The muskets that they had purchased from Satin were equipped by the foot soldiers. At the same time, they were also given the Gunpowder Grenades. Regis, Lola, and the Azure Dragon Knight would be important supporters of the ground defense line. As for Fares, he took on the responsibility of overall command.
The Shadow Fiend was waiting, and so were the humans. The atmosphere in the mine was getting more and more tense.
Allen narrowed his eyes and saw a new Shadow Demon appear on the mountain peak. These Shadow Demons were relatively petite and had black skin. They wore simple and crude armor. The armor was of a variety of styles. It did not look like it was made by the Shadow Demons themselves, but rather some kind of spoils of war. These Shadow Demons even carried swords and knew how to use armor and swords. There was no doubt that their intelligence was far above their peers.
There were only a dozen or so new Black Shadow Demons that appeared. They first gathered together, as if they were talking about something, and then suddenly dispersed. When they began to climb down, the speed of the other Shadow Demons suddenly increased, like a charging army.
Allen knew that the Shadow Demon was attacking.
Just as he was about to give a warning, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from outside the mine gate. Then, the half-closed door shattered into pieces, and even the door frames on both sides collapsed with a groan. In the night, a giant-like figure crashed into the mine. It had a very strong body, and was more than three meters tall. However, it could still be seen that it was a close relative of the Shadow Demons. It had the same stone gray skin, and the surface of its body was smooth and hairless. It wore a torn animal skin around its waist, and it held a thick tree trunk in its hands as it charged straight in the direction of the wooden hut.
If it collided with it, the wooden hut would definitely fall apart.
Allen no longer hesitated, and his aura soared to the sky. At the same time, the flames from the bonfires in front of the wooden hut soared to the sky. Under the influence of the Fiery Monarch, they illuminated more than half of the mine, and also the Shadow Demons on the cliff. Shadow Demons did not like light, and when they were illuminated by the fire, the Grey Shadow Demons on the cliff squeaked and retreated, causing quite a bit of chaos. Some of their kind were even pushed down.
The Shadow Demon's momentum was also stopped. At this time, Allen had already flashed to its side. Gojoseon was unsheathed, and two scarlet arcs lit up in the dark night. The Troll's elephant-like thick feet were cut off by Allen's two sabers. The Troll screamed miserably and the tree trunk in its hand rolled out. Allen jumped onto its back and stabbed his saber into the back of its neck. With another horizontal pull, he cut off the Troll's neck, causing the Troll to stop struggling.
The Black Shadow Demons on the cliff let out sharp cries. Only then did the Grey Devils barely suppress their fear of the flames and pour down like flowing water. The gray stream rushed straight in the direction of the wooden hut and split into two along the way to turn towards Allen.
On the second floor of the wooden hut, Lucy saw that the Grey Shadow Demon had already entered the shooting range of the Flame Fighting Rifle. She waved her raised hand down heavily, "Fire!"
The Inch Fire Archer immediately poked out his rifle from the window, and the rough sound of gunfire rang out in the mine. A line of fire rained down, and the Shadow Demons in the front row immediately fell. The Inch Fire Archer fired freely, and the tremendous power of the Flame Fighting Rifle suppressed the Gray Shadow Demon to the point that it had to be filled with corpses every step it took. What terrified the Shadow Demon was that the Flame Fighting Rifle did not stop shooting at all. The firepower was maintained at a saturated state. In a moment, the gray torrent had already cut off a third of the firepower net.
The Black Shadow Demon that was mixed in the gray stream screamed. One of the Black Devils jumped to the second floor of the wooden hut, wanting to attack the human archer\'s position. Unexpectedly, just as he was in midair, the Black Shadow Demon\'s head suddenly exploded, and an even louder gunshot rang out. This gunshot even suppressed the gunshot of the Flame Fighting Rifle.
Adele snorted, reloaded, and shot at the other Black Devil in the gray stream.
At this moment, the roars of the men sounded from the wooden hut. The King Of Mountains warriors raised their shields and rushed out first, followed by the infantry holding their guns horizontally. The infantry fired under Fares\'s orders, killing the Grey Shadow Demons that had rushed out of the Inch Fire Archer\'s firepower net. However, the power of the fire/gun was not as great as the Flame Fighting Rifle, and the Shadow Demon moved like the wind, making it difficult for the fire/gun to kill them with a single shot.
The peak of the gray stream finally arrived, and the King Of Mountains warriors raised their shield walls to meet it. Under the tough collision between the Shadow Demon and the humans, countless gray waves splashed out in the torrent. The Gray Shadow Demons were knocked flying backwards and smashed into their own kind, causing small chaos. The warriors of the King Of Mountains formed an arc-shaped front, blocking the Gray Shadow Demon outside. Regis and the other experts crossed the defensive line and rushed into the gray stream to start a massacre. For a time, the Shadow Demon was killed by a few experts.
On the other side, Allen smiled as he looked at the gray stream pouncing towards him. He jumped off the troll and flashed to the side of the tree trunk. Lifting his foot, the flame marks on Allen\'s body flashed, and the tree trunk spontaneously combusted and smashed into the gray stream. Immediately, more than a dozen Gray Shadow Demons were overwhelmed, and the raging fire on the tree trunk caused them to scream loudly. Allen raised Gojoseon and lightly tapped the blade with his forehead. He leaned forward and disappeared. At the same time, Allen flashed into the Shadow Demon Formation. The Shadow Demons were stunned. At this moment, the shockwave from the tail threw the Shadow Demons into the air one by one. Then, their bodies were torn apart, as if they had been brushed past by an invisible blade.
Amidst the rain of blood, Gojoseon spat out explosive flames. The black and red fire clouds were like a banner as they churned left and right among the Shadow Demons. Wherever the fire cloud passed, the Shadow Demons would constantly fall.
Sounds of killing rang out from all directions in the mine.
When Allen killed the last Shadow Demon of the squad, he took a deep breath and the flame marks floated up. Allen\'s body was surrounded by flames and heat waves. It was no different from a furnace. He waved his sword horizontally, and the blade drew a thin ray of light. After the light left the blade, it kept extending to both sides and stopped when it reached a width of ten meters. This ten-meter-wide red ray of light illuminated the mine and instantly disappeared into the torrent of Shadow Demons. Like a stream of water, it silently flowed through many Shadow Demons and disappeared on the other side of the mine.
Suddenly, the mine became quiet. The Shadow Demons that were swept by the ray of light fell down one after another like straws that had been cut in half. Suddenly, a half-meter-wide path was cleared in the gray stream!
The gray stream of Shadow Demons was split by Allen. The horror of so many of their kind dying in an instant finally suppressed the ferocity of the Shadow Demons. Under the screams of the remaining Shadow Demons, the gray stream dispersed. They naturally went around Allen, the God of Slaughter. Some of them retreated to the gate of the mine, while the rest climbed up the cliff. After a few minutes, all of them were gone, leaving only a pile of corpses in the mine.
The next day, when Ian saw the hill of corpses of Shadow Demons, he looked at Allen with sincere admiration. In the battle last night, the Shadow Demons had left nearly two hundred corpses, while Allen's soldiers were only injured but not killed. Such a huge contrast shocked Ian to the extreme. At this moment, in the eyes of the old man, Allen was no different from the reincarnation of the God of War. At this time, the mountain of corpses of Shadow Demons started burning, and Allen ordered the team to leave the mine.
The battle last night seemed easy, but in fact, if it weren't for the limited space in the mine, which prevented the Shadow Demons from assembling their army to attack, the battle would not have been so easy. Therefore, they couldn't stay in the Shadow Land for a long time. Moreover, there weren't many rifle bullets left after all the big and small battles along the way. Allen didn't want to waste them in the entanglement with the Shadow Demons.
Soon, the caravan left the mine. Ian's father found another water vein. After confirming that there was no mistake, he led the team to Acabi Promenade. After the people left, there was only the sizzling sound of the Shadow Demons' corpses in the mine. On the cliff on the left side of the mine, a figure quietly appeared. It was a Shadow Demon with red skin. Its body was painted with some kind of totem pattern with lime. This Shadow Demon looked at the burning hill of corpses, opened its mouth angrily, and let out a long roar toward the sky.
The roar echoed in every corner of the Shadow Land.
