#23 - Chapter 23 The Struggling Corpses
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"The North Gate has fallen! The demons have entered the city!"
More than a dozen teams of dwarf warriors had received orders from their lord and were heading to various areas to reinforce the city gates.
But before they could reach the gate areas, their orders were revised.
They had already heard the specific reason for the change from their respective captains.
The North Gate had fallen!
No matter how pessimistic these warriors were, they never imagined that their town's North Gate would fall so quickly.
They never expected that as soon as they entered the battlefield—no, even before they reached the battlefield—they would be plunged into deadly chaos and street fighting.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo!"
"Ahhh, save me!"
One of the squads encountered an unexpected emergency while heading towards the North Gate.
As the sound of heavy objects landing nearby grew louder, the already chaotic town of Barren Stone became even more turbulent due to the demon invasion.
In a small alley on the side of the street, a petite and sturdy, adorable dwarf girl quickly found herself in danger.
Wearing a patterned dress, she ran and shouted.
Behind her, followed a small demon that had completely gone mad.
This little demon, with white foam constantly coming out of its mouth like a rabid dog, chased after the cute dwarf girl, roaring and biting at everything around it.
"Don't be afraid! I'll help you."
The youngest dwarf lad in the city defense team unhesitatingly drew his weapon and rushed forward, taking three steps in two.
His captain was about to stop him, telling him that their mission was not to entangle with individual enemies but to support the main force, but he immediately closed his mouth.
Because in an instant, the dwarf warrior was locked in a fierce battle with the little demon.
The other warriors also drew their weapons and stepped forward to support him.
Seeing this situation, the captain couldn't say anything more.
Although he was very clear about their mission, in his opinion, it wouldn't take long to deal with a single little demon.
Rather than let a beautiful girl die, it was better to waste those insignificant dozen seconds.
It must be said that after experiencing permanent poisonous fog pollution, the combat power of individual little demons has been greatly improved.
Not only was it unafraid of any pain, but even its own strength and speed had been greatly increased.
A little demon that could be solved with a single sword in the past now required the dwarf warrior to fight hard to kill.
"Thank you, great warrior."
After the dwarf girl was safe, she regained her senses and came to the warrior who saved her, giving him a kiss.
But before the warrior could announce his name, his captain and other teammates once again pulled him away to support the main force.
Unfortunately, they didn't advance much further.
More and more sounds of heavy objects landing appeared around them.
One after another, the little demons polluted by the Imp Matriarch walked out of their cages and frantically attacked all the creatures around them.
The squad finally realized helplessly that more and more people around them were asking for their help.
And each of these people was basically encountering the same situation.
Little demons falling from the sky, frantically chasing and killing them after landing.
"Oh my god, so many people are asking us for help, we can't possibly ignore them..."
The captain thought to himself, looking at the chaotic surroundings.
But his expectations were destined to be dashed.
Because all of this was what Wu Wei wanted.
It was Wu Wei himself who orchestrated this extremely chaotic situation.
"Caroline, use [Imp Toss] at the No. 3 point I marked."
The Imp Matriarch Caroline, who obeyed the Abyss Lord one hundred percent, immediately took a cage containing little demons from her chest after issuing the order.
Charge up, and then toss it high.
Although the little demons would suffer great damage during the impact, since ancient times little demons have had no so-called human rights, no, no demon rights.
So neither the Imp Matriarch nor Wu Wei needed to worry about this issue.
The residents of Barren Stone Town should be worried about this.
And those dozen teams of warriors who were desperately trying to support them.
————————————
On the city wall, a dwarf captain was furious after seeing the Imp Matriarch Caroline eat a dwarf warrior alive for the third time.
"Damn it, Sabo, you two, quickly pull the Dragon Ballista out of the warehouse for me!"
"I'm going to kill this monster with my own hands!"
Hearing this, Sabo and others, who had finally rushed to the city wall, immediately ran into the warehouse and pushed out the long-sealed Dragon Ballista.
The so-called Dragon Ballista was not a ballista made of materials from dragons.
It was named that way because the prototype of this ballista had once killed a dragon in the Ancient War.
"Captain... sigh, where's the captain gone?"
Sabo and others, covered in sweat, pushed out the Dragon Ballista, but were surprised to find.
The person who gave them the order, their captain, had disappeared?
"He may have gone to support others, Sabo, don't worry about him, let's kill that ugly monster first, you load, I'll aim!"
Sabo's teammate said.
Hearing this, Sabo quickly loaded the Dragon Ballista in front of him.
But just as Sabo had just loaded the ballista's bolt, he was horrified to discover.
His teammate who was just next to him...
Had also disappeared?
What on earth, happened!
Why did his teammates disappear one after another?
Just as Sabo felt a chill, a small shadow appeared next to him.
And as the shadow gradually expanded.
Thump!
With a huge landing sound, two bloody corpses exploded next to Sabo.
The mystery was solved.
When Sabo looked up for a moment, a Lorthe Demon grabbed his shoulder and took him away from the familiar earth.
In the air, Sabo looked at the familiar yet strange Barren Stone Town below, his eyes filled with despair.
It turned out that, in his perspective, the entire town had no chance of survival.
Countless demons had divided them into one area after another without their knowledge.
The disaster called demons was raging.
And they were just struggling corpses.
