#22 - Chapter 22 Heroes and Meat

When the Imp Matron Caroline's true form actually appeared before these dwarves, all the warriors briefly despaired.

She was too terrifying!

A bloated figure like a small mountain, arms thicker than giant trees, countless wriggling, pus-filled, mutated boils spewing poisonous mist, coupled with iron cages filled with imps hanging all over her body.

Not to mention Caroline's face with its mutated features and scarlet eyes.

Just being stared at by Imp Matron Caroline, just hearing the wheezing of her breath.

The aura of evil she exuded was enough to rout the dwarven city defense force, who usually only encountered beast tides.

Thus, as Imp Matron Caroline used her immense brute strength to push open the gate, trampling the victims under her feet to squeeze through.

Many in the city defense force, despite holding sharp weapons and sturdy shields, had hands trembling at all times.

Because the city gate was not closed in time, more and more imps poured out from behind and beside the Imp Matron, surging into Boulderstone Town.

There were so many of these imps that even the city defense warriors looking down from the city walls could only see a sea of darkness wriggling madly, screaming, and clamoring to attack the town.

And the only color that could be seen in this black ocean was the scarlet eyes of these abyssal monsters.

Faced with this scene, anyone would feel despair.

But not everyone was so cowardly.

"Don't be afraid, brothers!"

A stout dwarf with a brown beard suddenly roared, startling the other warriors present.

His voice was loud and magnetic, allowing others to hear him even in the most chaotic battles.

"To prevent the gate from being closed, this monster is stuck in the gate's position, unable to attack us directly. As long as we work together to repel her and the monsters around her, we can re-close the gate and defend our town!"

After speaking, this brown-bearded dwarf took the lead and charged towards the Imp Matron before him, waving the blade in his hand while activating his Battle Qi.

With the enhancement of his Battle Qi, the brown-bearded dwarf cleaved two imps in front of him with a single sword strike, and the other imps trying to obstruct him were blocked by the Battle Qi shield around him.

The Battle Qi ability of the dwarves is one of countless transcendent abilities.

This transcendent ability, common among dwarves, although not extremely rare, is the most suitable transcendent ability for the dwarven race.

Because Battle Qi can not only directly add extra damage to the attacks of dwarven warriors, but also form a Battle Qi shield to protect the charging warriors in battle.

"Charge with me, brothers!"

Hearing the words of this brown-bearded dwarf, the other dwarves around him finally ignited their fighting spirit.

Their fear and cowardice receded, replaced by courage and zeal!

Just like the countless epics and myths recorded.

There are always mortal heroes who appear in the darkness where hope is dormant, like arrows of light piercing through the darkness, bringing hope to everyone.

There are always mortal heroes who appear at the right time, using themselves as a flame to ignite despair and darkness.... But unfortunately....

This so-called mortal hero did not appear on today's battlefield.

Today, there will be no "heroes".

When Wu Wei's constantly switching perspective returned near Caroline, the fate of this brown-bearded dwarf was already sealed.

"Swish!"

After activating his Battle Qi, this dwarf's charge was exceptionally smooth.

One imp after another died under his blade, and he got closer and closer to the Imp Matron Caroline, who was using both hands to jam the city gate.

As long as he could injure her in time and repel her, the town gate would be closed once again.

But just as this dwarf was reveling in how the bards in the future taverns would compose his praises.

A dozen imps formed a peculiar formation at the extremely chaotic city gate, blocking the dwarf's progress from the rear right.

Such orderly advance and retreat behavior was in stark contrast to their frenzied and chaotic counterparts.

Clearly, an existence even more evil than these monsters had intervened in this battle.

However, this brown dwarf was not afraid of these imps.

Because as long as he slightly changed his position, he could escape the obstruction of these imps and evade their blockade.

But just as he had adjusted his position, a foul and icy wind assailed him from behind!

They were several fiends who had been waiting here!

They were extending their claws towards the dwarf's back!

With greater strength than imps, they were a true threat to this brown-bearded dwarf.

Without any other choice, this brown-bearded dwarf was forced to change his position once again, retreating backward while holding up his shield.

During the retreat, because no imp obstructed him, he retreated very quickly.

But when he stopped, he was shocked to find that his position was somehow so close to his target, the huge, hill-like Imp Matron!

However, he was facing away from her, while she raised a foot aimed at the top of his head!

A foul, fishy wind came, and the Imp Matron, whose hands were used to jam the gate, revealed a smile to the "little thing" under her feet.

"Oh? Meat, the meat came over on its own!"

After speaking, she stretched out her foot and stomped down hard!

Splatter.

Neither the dwarf's armor nor the dwarf's hard skull could stop the Imp Matron's crushing foot.

The Imp Matron's "children" happily surrounded her feet, devouring the corpse of the dead dwarf.

"Hehe, more meat!"

The Imp Matron raised her head and stared into the distance, saying.

"..."

"...."

In the distance, the dwarven warriors who had mustered their courage to charge, fell silent after seeing the fate of their colleagues.

Hope and courage are a double-edged sword.

When trapped in despair, they will be the key for others to muster the courage to charge, the starting point for a comeback.

But once they are frustrated, they will be the beginning of collapse!

Finally, after the only hope vanished, the group of dwarven warriors who had just mustered the courage to charge retreated, wanting to retreat to defend their previous lines.

But Wu Wei would not let go of this fleeting opportunity, directly commanding his imps to separate them one by one in the chaos, and let more imps kill the city defense forces who were trying to close the city gate one by one.

In the end, as the Imp Matron was liberated, more and more imps began to pour into the town called Boulderstone Town.

They were ready to destroy everything.
