Just then, he sensed a ripple of energy coming from the coast outside the camp.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was a trick to summon the Heart Eaters.
Angor quickly stood up and caught Shannon's attention. "Sir, is the monster coming?" She looked at Angor nervously.
"Something like that." Angor lifted the curtain and headed outside. Shannon immediately followed him out and asked for more information.
General Aaron didn't know what was going on. Seeing that the princess was about to talk to a young noble, he quickly raised his sword and stopped her.
"General Alan, drop your weapon! Don't be rude to sir!" Shannon shouted.
Sir? Alan looked at Angor carefully. He didn't know where this young man came from. He thought he was Princess Shannon's shadow guard, but why did the princess call him "sir?" Who was this young man? Why did the princess have to address him with such respect?
Before Alan could figure out what "sir" meant, Angor stood still and waved a hand. A small gray bird wearing a black and white costume appeared on the back of his hand.
"Protect everyone here. Don't let them die. I'm going to take a look," Angor said to Toby. Toby nodded and hovered in the air for a while before landing on a tree.
"I'll protect you. Don't worry," Angor said to Shannon.
Under the shocked gazes of Alan and Shannon, Angor's shoes glowed with black and golden runes. Then, Angor flew into the night sky and disappeared from sight.
Only then did Ya Lun open his mouth and react. He said in a trembling voice, "Princess, could he be …"
Shannon nodded with a hopeful look. "Only their own kind can deal with supernaturals."
Alan felt a little relieved. But when he thought about the fact that they were being protected by an insignificant gray bird, he couldn't help but feel that the future was full of unknowns.
Alan glanced at the tree and saw that the bird had completely blended into the darkness.
"Can it really protect us?" Aaron muttered to himself in a perturbed and absurd tone.
Shannon bit her lower lip and didn't answer. However, judging from the look in her eyes, she wasn't as determined as she thought.
Just as they were worrying, a sudden exclamation came from outside.
When they turned around, they saw a terrifying giant monster leaping into the sky and landing heavily at the entrance of the tent. Accompanied by a loud rumble, a cloud of dust rose into the air. The wind carried by the monster made the torches outside the tent shake violently.
Amidst the sandstorm, Taannon and Alan squinted their eyes and drew their swords, ready to fight.
"Roar, roar, roar …" Before the dust settled, a terrifying howl spread from the tent to the entire military camp. Everyone was scared witless by these shouts. No matter how strong their fighting spirit was, it was extinguished by cold water.
The cries of the Heart Eaters had the effect of frightening people. It was also because of this that when the Heart Eaters visited, the morale of the army fell to the bottom. How could they win against the Hai Lan Army in such a state?
Everyone in the camp was terrified, but Shannon and Alan, who were the closest to the Heart Eater, were the ones who were scared the most.
Alan wanted to avenge Eaton, and his hatred overcame his fear. His eyes turned red the moment he saw the Heart Eaters. Shannon also hated her country, and she knew she couldn't lose to the Heart Eaters in terms of spirit. If even she was scared, then even if the Heart Eaters were defeated, it would be impossible for them to regain their morale.
Both Shannon and Aaron drew their swords. Neither of them was afraid of the three-meter-tall monster.
The Heart Eaters walked forward step by step, trying to determine the identities of the two people in front of it with its single eye. Finally, it locked onto Shannon, who had her lips tightly shut.
A gust of wind howled as it reached out with its giant claw, aiming for Shannon's chest.
Shannon rolled to the side and dodged the attack. She then turned around and slashed at the monster's muscular calf with her knight's sword.
Clang!
The knight's sword broke in half, but the Heart Eaters' calf was unharmed.
On the other side, Alan took advantage of the moment when the Heart Eaters attacked Shannon. He stomped on the ground and leaped into the air. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and slashed at the Heart Eaters' single eye.
Since your skin is impenetrable, I'll cut off your eye!
However, the Heart Eaters only closed its eye, and its eyelid made contact with the blade. Clang! Clang! Clang! The blade broke, and the Heart Eaters' eyelid didn't even leave a mark.
The Heart Eaters swatted at Alan like it was swatting a mosquito, and Alan was sent flying into a tree in the distance like a cannonball.
This was the tree where Toby had stopped. The tree trunk was broken, and leaves fell to the ground. Toby chirped and flew into the air.
Alan spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw Toby. Toby was flapping its wings, and a glass was floating in front of it. There was a golden liquid in the glass, and Toby was drinking from it with a straw.
"We're fighting, and it's just watching the show?!" Alan wanted to vomit blood. At this moment, he had lost all hope for this bird.
The Heart Eater's gaze landed on Shannon again. Shannon had managed to evade the Heart Eater's claws several times after her sword was broken, but she had just given birth to a child. Her body wasn't as strong as it used to be, and she was now in a dangerous situation.
Alan tried his best to get up and attract the Heart Eaters' attention.
Soldiers came out of the tents, but they didn't dare to get close. When they saw the Heart Eaters' claws reaching for Shannon's chest, their eyes were filled with despair.
Everyone thought that Princess Shannon was going to die here. Even Shannon herself thought that her life was going to end here.
However, right at this moment, a grey mist enveloped Shannon, and before she could react, she was thrown to Alan's side.
Shannon groaned in pain as she fell.
But at this moment, there was a strange silence in the surroundings. Even the sound of the wind was gone.
She opened her eyes and looked at the Heart Eaters.
The only thing he saw was the Heart Eater looking down at its chest in a daze. There was a big hole there, and the hole was through. He could clearly see that its heart had disappeared.
The next second, the Heart Eaters fell to the ground, dead.
Everyone saw this scene, but it happened too fast, so fast that they didn't even have time to cheer or be surprised, so fast that they were still sad for the "death of the princess", and the next second, they were speechless with their mouths wide open.
When the dust settled, Alan pointed at the sky with a trembling finger.
Shannon looked up and saw a giant heart falling from the sky. After the heart fell, a small bird wearing a strange black and white doll costume was revealed. It was drinking an unknown pale golden liquid with a straw, looking harmless to both humans and animals.
Everyone knew that it was the bird that killed the Heart Eaters.
There wasn't even a drop of blood on its body.
In fact, it was just watching the show from the sky.
Shannon gulped. "You're so unpredictable, sir wizards …" She murmured.
Toby looked so small, but he was able to kill the Heart Eaters in one hit.
While Shannon was still in awe of Toby's power, the camp suddenly erupted. Everyone rushed out, crying, laughing, shouting, and jumping … It was as if they were trying to vent their anger after being frightened by Toby.
The morale of the whole camp was suddenly lifted.
Shannon's lips trembled. She wanted to cry, but she also wanted to laugh.
She slowly stood up and walked to the center of the crowd. She pulled out her adjutant's sword and pointed it at the sky. "The monster has been eliminated. Hai Lan has no other way. Now it's time for us to counterattack!"
The long sword descended from the sky and pointed towards the direction of the outer sea, where the Hai Lan troops were stationed.
Shannon shouted, "Heylan must die!"
For a moment, everyone responded to her cry and shouted the slogan, "Hai Lan will die!"
Their momentum shook the heavens. At this moment, the weights of the war had finally swapped, and the scales were slowly shifting.
At this time, Alan also ran out and stabbed the Heart Eater's open eye with his sword. At the same time, he looked at Toby in the sky and silently said, "Thank you …"
…
A while later, Angor returned to the camp.
Everyone in the camp had calmed down. They were all doing their jobs, and they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces.
Heylan had the monster, but so did they. They firmly believed that as long as they went up against Hai Lan, they would definitely win! With this belief, their confidence grew bit by bit.
It didn't take him long to figure out what was going on.
When Angor returned, he brought a dirty child with him. Angor grabbed the child's collar by the back of his neck, causing the child's face to turn red and distorted. "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Angor tossed Angor to the ground. The child didn't complain anymore. Instead, he rolled his eyes and tried to crawl out of the tent.
Angor summoned his Hand of Spell and slapped at the child. The child's eyes rolled up and fell unconscious on the ground.
Shannon stood up. "Sir, he's …"
He didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked around the tent and saw Tawny, Alan, and Toby. Tawny, Tawny, and Tawny were all inside. Tawny, Tawny, and Tawny were all injured.
Alan walked over and saluted Angor respectfully.
"Thank you for helping us kill that monster, sir. Aaron made a knight's vow: "From now on, if my lord has any orders, I, Aaron, will do it with my life!"
"I made a deal with Shannon, that's all."
Shannon stopped Alan before he could say anything else. She couldn't let anyone know about her deal with Angor. "General Alan, you can leave us for now. If everything goes well, Heylan is about to go to war, and you'll need to lead the troops. We have to win this war! "
Alan hesitated for a moment, thanked Angor again, and slowly left the room.
