Beside the Great Rift Valley, the battle had come to an end.
"I didn't expect you to encounter such a dangerous enemy."
Lyon waved his hand at Shikarin and said weakly, "I thought the enemy we encountered was already very strong … How are your casualties?"
"Twenty Templar Knights were sacrificed."
Shikarin's face was a little gloomy, but she quickly pulled herself together. "But we killed four demons. Three of them were extraordinary, and the last one was at the peak of extraordinary. Today's Slaughterer Demon is the strongest one we've seen."
Even Shikarin's team had encountered five demons. It was obvious that the number of demons that had escaped from the Abyss of Purgatory was not small.
Lyon sighed and said, "If it weren't for Tang En Majesty's timely support, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had time to escape."
"Thank you, Tang En Majesty!"
Shikarin stood up and solemnly saluted Tang En. Then she said very seriously, "Although I know Your Majesty has brought reinforcements, I think it's better for Your Majesty not to get involved in this matter. The demons are too strong. Your soldiers will only die if they come here. You'd better leave this matter to us."
"You?"
Tang En said with annoyance and amusement. "You can't even protect yourselves. How are you going to solve this matter?"
"We're just the vanguard to confirm the situation. Once we confirm that there are demons here, the rest of the team will arrive soon."
Shikarin said very seriously. "Once our main force is in place, even a powerful demon like that can only wait to be slaughtered."
Lyon hurriedly added, "It's not that she doesn't believe in Your Majesty's strength. She just thinks that unnecessary sacrifices should be minimized. You've heard that we've already sacrificed twenty comrades. Shikarin just doesn't want to see any more people killed by demons."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think my soldiers will be afraid. They already know what kind of enemy they will face before they come here."
Tang En said with a calm face. "What's more, this is my country. I will never allow those demons to do evil on my land."
"Well, since you said so, then it's not convenient for me to say anything more. As long as your warriors don't drag us down — Commander?"
Shikarin looked at Leon in confusion, not knowing why Leon pulled her.
"Shikarin, that's enough."
Leon said a little awkwardly, "Although the Tang En Majesty's soldiers are not strong individually, they are very powerful when fighting as a group. Trust me, they won't hold us back."
"Really?"
Shikarin was a little surprised. She did not doubt Leon's words, but she did not believe those warriors. They were all Silver-tier, and there were only a few Gold-tier warriors. Could they really be of use in a battle of this level?
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What is the bad news that you and Eluri were talking about? Don't tell me they're referring to this demon? "
Leon pointed to the demon's body on the ground. In a short while, the knights had already dissected the demon's body into pieces. After purification, the parts that could be used, such as the demon's horns, skin, bones, eyes, and so on, were all collected. They could sell them for a considerable amount of money. What? Dissecting the body was too cruel? Wasn't that what the Holy Knights should do? What a joke! They were Holy Knights, not Virgin Mary who did not eat or drink!
"Of course not. In fact, we found something very terrible … I think it's necessary for you and Her Holiness to come down and have a look."
When talking about this, Shikarin's expression became very serious.
Leon felt a little uneasy. "Where is it?"
"Please come with me."
Shikarin stood up and was about to lead the way. After a pause, she said to Tang En, "I think it's better for you to come and have a look, Tang En Majesty."
"Okay."
Tang En also stood up.
"It's a distance. You'd better ride a horse."
Seeing Shikarin get on the horse, Leon also pulled his own horse. Tang En took out the Harley motorcycle and sat on it.
"I'll go too!"
Elsa also jumped on the motorcycle and hugged Tang En's waist.
"Naughty."
Tang En smiled and then said, "Lead the way."
Shikarin looked at the Harley motorcycle with a little surprise.
Those people just now seemed to be riding this kind of thing. Why didn't they ride a horse?
"Don't worry."
Leon said enviously, "This thing runs faster and more obediently than a horse."
Shikarin raised her eyebrows. "Then we'll go and come back quickly. I hope you can keep up. Go!"
She lowered her body, as if she had integrated with the horse, and turned into a shadow and rushed out.
"Sorry."
Leon said to Tang En apologetically. "She's a straightforward person. She says what she likes. In fact, she doesn't mean any harm."
"I know. Don't mind."
Tang En smiled and started the Harley motorcycle. "It's better to say that I prefer this kind of personality … Let's go."
"I'll try to keep up."
Leon was not confident that he could keep up with the speed of the Harley motorcycle. He could only barely ensure that he did not fall behind.
Would they lose sight of them?
Shikarin waited for a long time but did not hear any sound. She could not help but slow down. If she really lost them, it would be a waste of time.
"Have we arrived?"
"You guys!?"
Shikarin was surprised to find that Tang En was following closely behind her. Instead, it was Leon who was chasing them from a distance.
"Not yet."
"Then why don't you run faster?"
"Wait for the leader."
Shikarin did not speed up again. She did not want to leave Leon too far behind.
Shikarin glanced at the Harley motorcycle that Tang En was riding and suddenly asked, "Is this thing made with alchemy?"
"… From a certain point of view, you're right."
"It seems to be very suitable for traveling."
"In fact, it also performs very well on the battlefield."
"Oh?"
Tang En said with a smile, "No need to feed, no fatigue, no betrayal, no fear, and no escape. It's very fast and has great explosive power. Aren't these advantages enough?"
"Is it really that good?"
Shikarin was moved. "Is this thing for sale? How much is it? "
"Phew, don't ask, Shikarin."
Leon, who had rushed over, heard this sentence and hurriedly said, "We can't afford it."
"Of course it's for sale."
Tang En waved his hand at Lyon and said, "Captain Lyon, don't worry too much. The price of this Harley motorcycle is not expensive. When we introduce it to the market, you will know the price. Perhaps riding a horse will become a leisure activity in the future."
"That's great!"
Leon was overjoyed. He had been envious of the superior performance of the Harley motorcycle for a long time.
"I hope so."
Shikarin raised her eyebrows and sped up a little. She ran to the side of a small hill.
Tang En and Lyon followed closely behind. After running along the hill for more than ten minutes, they stopped.
"Look over there."
Shikarin pointed to the Great Rift Valley in the distance and said with a serious face, "The poisonous fog from the bottom of the Great Rift Valley has now covered the area. None of the people who went in survived. Even the magical beasts living nearby have either died or fled. It's very scary."
"Poisonous fog?"
Tang En looked at the red fog and opened his mouth. "How can there be poisonous fog?"
Could it be that the ground had cracked and the underground natural gas had spilled out? Could they be so unlucky?
But they had never heard of red natural gas …
"I'm not sure, but when we passed by there, we found traces of demons in the poisonous fog."
Shikarin stared at the fog and said in a low voice, "So we suspect that the poisonous fog is the same as the demons. They are both from Inferno."
"Very likely."
Leon stared at the red fog and said, "Legend has it that the demons and demons in Inferno never stop fighting. The air there is full of poison that mortals can't come in contact with …"
"Maybe," Shikarin muttered to herself, "we can ask Sir Jean or Master Angus to come over and try to reseal the Great Rift Valley."
Although they did not know if resealing the Great Rift Valley could stop the demons of Inferno, at least it could stop the poisonous fog from spreading further.
Elsa said, "We don't have to go to them for this kind of thing. My brother can do it too."
Leon looked at Tang En. He and Eluri had both seen Tang En's power. Besides, this Great Rift Valley seemed to be created by him, right?
"Oh?"
Leon smiled bitterly. "Lord Tang En's magic cultivation is indeed stronger than both of them."
Shikarin was stunned. She looked at Tang En in disbelief. "… What!?"
She did not find any evidence that Tang En was a hermit or a magic master.
Leon sighed. "Don't look at it. It's true … Tang En Majesty?"
"Ahem, this thing happened because of me. I should solve it."
Tang En coughed softly. To put it bluntly, so many people were sacrificed now because he had created the Great Rift Valley to stop the army from advancing.
It was just that no one would have thought that the Great Rift Valley would lead directly to the Inferno. Then again, who would have thought that the Inferno of Prandal would be underground?
This was a challenge to science!
"If possible, I hope you can reseal this place as soon as possible."
Shikarin made a solemn request. "Every day we delay, more victims will appear here."
"No problem. Just wait a moment."
After Tang En finished speaking, he flew into the sky and quickly arrived above the thick fog.
"From here, it's really … incredible …"
Looking down from the sky, the red poisonous fog had already covered an area of tens of kilometers. The trees and grass in the area had all withered, and the ground was covered with white bones. There were pedestrians and magic beasts. The only ones that could survive in this poisonous fog were the Devils and Demons of Purgatory.
In the Great Rift Valley, the area where the fog gushed out had completely turned blood-red. There was also a small amount of fog on both sides of the Rift Valley. But perhaps because the Rift Valley was too deep, the fog did not accumulate and spread on both sides. Instead, it rose straight up and dissipated to the ground.
