Fire.
There was fire everywhere, and the raging fire lit up the entire night sky. There were screams of panic and fear from others in the distance, and there was a strange and terrifying laughter full of excitement.
Blood.
There was blood everywhere, and the strong smell of blood enveloped the town. The sky seemed to be dyed red with blood, and the moon was a strange dark red.
"Will! … "
"Will! … Thank God! You're not dead yet! Get up quickly! … "
A big man with a full beard appeared in front of him. He was wearing a simple mail armor, and there was a bloodstain on his chest. There were three claw marks on his thick arm. At this moment, he carried a war hammer with one hand and came to Will's side. He quickly threw a long sword over and shouted, "Get up and fight! The Devils have rushed into the town! "
The young man slowly got up.
He shook his head as if he wanted to figure out everything in front of him, but soon some memories began to appear.
The sky was a bit strange this evening because it was too red. It was still winter, and there should not be such bright red clouds, not to mention that even the moon was stained with a trace of dark red.
The Devils had arrived.
No one knew where they came from. They seemed to have descended from the sky and suddenly appeared beside the town. Then, they began to attack crazily.
Battle.
The town's garrison was defeated, and the militia was easily scattered by the Devils. He encountered a lone Berserk Devil. Although he successfully killed the Berserk Devil with his own strength, the last impact made him faint.
Fortunately, he was not unconscious for long.
"Captain!!!"
A young and slightly immature boy ran over. At this moment, his expression was abnormally frightened, and he was a little incoherent. "Dead!! They're all dead! … Hank … Ryan … Shawsta … they were all dead … they were all dead! "
Ah!!!
There was a sharp scream of a woman in the distance. Will was very familiar with this voice because she was the cook in the town. She was a chubby aunt who was usually a little naggy but was good to people. Occasionally, she would give some food to the children from the kitchen.
"I'm fine! … "
Will stood up shakily, then reached out and clenched the long sword in his hand. He blocked the hand of the man in front of him who wanted to help him up and said in a hoarse voice, "What about the others? Quickly ask the priests of the temple for help! … "
"And Sir Clyde."
He was Will Jackson, the captain of Eastlake Town's militia and a retired adventurer.
The bearded man looked around with an ugly expression and said in a low voice, "Everyone has been scattered! Some of the cowards ran away! The demons have already rushed into the residential area. We have to save them! … "
In the residential area.
Will's eyes were bloodshot. He gripped his sword tightly and rushed out, roaring, "Gather the others! We can't just sit here and wait for death! Open the military supply depot! … Give all men weapons! … "
"They must fight to protect their homeland!"
Will rushed out, and a low-level Dretch appeared in front of him. As a former adventurer, he had seen demons when fighting against some evil spellcasters, but he had never seen so many of them, and there were even more terrifying ones among them. He felt a burning sensation in his lungs. The initial impact had already caused him internal injuries. He had to rely on his physique, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, to suppress his injuries and continue fighting.
"Puchi!"
Will killed the Dretch in front of him with a sword, and then he saw a trembling figure hiding behind a haystack.
Ron, a child, 14 years old this year. Because he was not tall, he was always bullied. He had always wanted to join the militia to make himself stronger.
"Pa!"
There was no time for Will to say anything. He directly lifted the child in front of him with one hand, and then slapped him. The poor little guy had been scared silly.
Will took a sword that fell next to him, then put it in his hand, and roared, "Pick up the sword! Go to the garrison! Don't stay here! "
"Tell the patrol to come and help!"
The child in front of him trembled as he got up. There were corpses scattered around him. Some of them belonged to demons, but most of them belonged to humans. Broken limbs were everywhere on the ground, and there were several corpses that had been gnawed beyond recognition. He suddenly vomited, vomiting so much that his bile came out.
Will sighed.
After all, he was just an ordinary civilian. Facing everything in front of him, he was easily on the verge of collapse. He had no time to care about this guy, so he could only pick up his sword and rush forward.
A lot of people died.
In just a short distance of one or two hundred meters, he saw the corpses of many of his colleagues. Some were from the militia, and some were from the garrison.
Even!
He also saw a broken corpse in full armor. It was Lord Drick, a canonized knight and one of the most powerful professions in the town.
His body was torn into two halves!
Will couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power could kill a canonized knight in such a cruel way.
Demons.
The figures of demons appeared in front of him.
They rampaged through the raging fire. A delicate and pretty girl ran out of a hiding corner in fear because of the fire. Before Will could rush over to rescue her, a few wandering demons rushed over and tore this young and beautiful life into pieces in an instant!
"No!"
Will's eyes were about to pop out. The unprecedented anger made him roar and rush over. He instantly swung his sword and killed the demons in front of him.
A bright light appeared.
Then there was a burst of explosions. Will gasped and looked up. He couldn't help but murmur, "What's over there? The temple!!! "
Donghu Town was located in the southern part of the continent.
There were temples here to serve the Goddess of Agriculture, the Goddess of River, and the Red Knight (the Goddess of Strategy).
Will began to rush towards the temple, but the scattered demons nearby were also attracted by the explosion over there and began to gather there one by one.
Corpses.
There were corpses everywhere.
One by one, familiar faces had now become cold corpses. Will's heart was full of sadness and anger. Although he moved here after ending his adventuring career, five years had already made him accustomed to life here and regarded this quiet town as his home.
"Arcane Missile!"
"Protection from Evil!"
"Fireball!"
The brilliance of spells emerged, and the surroundings of the three temples had turned into a battlefield. The surviving old, weak, women, and children hid inside the temple, and outside were some men with weapons. Several spellcasters were active on the battlefield. Relying on their strength, these people could block the attacks of the demons again and again.
Quasits, Dretch, Deep Lurker, Bloodthirsty Abyss, Cunning, Berserk …
Some demons that Will had never seen before launched attacks at the temple. They seemed to be a little afraid of the power that shrouded the temple. Some of the middle-ranked demons did not dare to attack. Instead, they kept driving the low-ranked demons to consume the enemy's strength.
"Will! … "
A trembling girl hiding in the temple suddenly stood up and said anxiously to Will in the distance, "Be careful! … "
"Behind you …"
A great sense of crisis suddenly came.
Will rolled forward almost without thinking. Then, a violent explosion sounded. His figure was directly blasted into the air.
The fire spread!
A figure with flames all over its body came out of the ruins in front of it. It looked like a burning humanoid creature. With a wave of its hand, a huge fireball came out.
Flaming Demon!
One of the most powerful middle-grade demons in the Abyss, the basic form of the Balor.
The appearance of the flaming demon was undoubtedly the last straw to break the balance. With the explosion of a fireball in the crowd, the warriors near the temple suffered heavy losses in an instant.
A flaming demon with a challenge rating of more than 8 was not something they could fight against!
If his adventurer companions were still there, Will might be able to kill the flaming demon in front of him because he was a warrior who had successfully entered the third grade not long ago. But now, almost no one could stop its advance. Although there were a few wizards living in Eastlake Town, most of them only had the power of a rank 2 wizard. Only one of them could cast a spell that was rank 4 or above.
"Servant!"
"Come to me!"
An impassioned battle cry rang out, accompanied by the galloping sound of horse hooves. A group of cavalry appeared on the opposite street. The leader of the group was a human heavy knight in full body armor. His body was covered in medieval gothic plate armor. Beside him was a fully-armed cavalry. Compared to the poorly equipped militia and guards, these people could be considered as a real army.
"My Lord!"
"It's Baron Bolek!"
"We're saved!"
The sound of galloping horse hooves covered the excited roars of the demons. The cavalry was like a sharp knife that directly stabbed into the enemy's vitals.
A cunning demon was lifted up by a spear.
The first wave of the Cavalrymen's charge instantly inflicted heavy casualties on the devils. But it was a pity that this wasn't a flat plain. In the narrow space of the town, even the powerful personal guards of the Overlord only had one chance to charge. A violent demon seized the opportunity. This demon, which weighed nearly 1,500 pounds, threw the horse to the ground and then grabbed the knight servant who fell off the horse. With a twist of its hands, the knight servant was torn in half.
"Fire … Blood … Slaughter …"
The Abyssal language reverberated in the air as the flaming demon turned around. As the raging flames ignited the surroundings, this terrifying demon turned its attention to these people.
The loud and clear cry of an eagle suddenly rang out.
A male eagle hovered over the town. At this moment, the whole Eastlake Town had turned into a sea of fire. The once prosperous town was only left with burning ruins and corpses.
"Demons?!"
"Why are there so many demons in the material plane?"
The figure of the male eagle swooped down and turned into a tall elf Druil at the moment of landing. On his chest was the emblem of the Druil Church. With a bestial roar, a huge brown bear suddenly appeared beside him.
Animal companion!
As a wild Druil of the Nature Church, although he did not like to get along with humans, in this situation, he decided to help humans fight against the demons.
The sky was blood-red.
It was so oppressive that people felt as if they could not breathe. Just when people thought that they could finally usher in victory, suddenly a crack appeared in mid-air, and then a huge ferocious spider slowly crawled out.
At this moment!
Even Druil's face changed drastically. He said, "Demon-Hunting spider?!!"
…
At the same time.
In the laboratory of Modor City, Gloria, who was studying the floating ring, suddenly changed her face. Then the mechanical voice of the Thaling Experiment ET sounded, "Unknown spatial anomaly in the alert area!"
"All the magic traps have been triggered!"
A light of teleportation appeared.
Gloria's figure suddenly appeared on the lighthouse. As she injected magic into a strange metal magic device, suddenly a sharp alarm sounded over the entire Modor City.
In an instant.
Countless people were awakened from their sleep. The roars of officers came from the direction of the barracks and the garrison. Groups of Modor City guards began to gather. In just ten minutes, thousands of troops had gathered.
The sky in the distance was dark red.
About 12 kilometers away from Modor City, it was shrouded in a strange blood-red cloud.
