Although the Shadow Demon is much stronger than the Native Demon, it is only slightly more dangerous to Aiden.
Aiden clenches his long sword in his hand, his eyes showing no fear. He takes the lead and attacks, his feet rushing towards the Shadow Demons like the wind. He takes a step forward, his long sword raised high, and slashes down hard at the Shadow Demon in front of him. The sword contains his powerful strength, and the blade cuts through the air with a hissing sound.
The Shadow Demon did not give way. It quickly sidestepped, while extending its long, twisted claws to grab Aiden's waist. Aiden reacted extremely quickly. He twisted his waist and rotated his body to the left, avoiding the attack, while his sword swept past. The Shadow Demon jumped back and jumped out of range, but one of its kind behind it was not as lucky, and Aiden's sword cut open its abdomen, spewing black blood.
Aiden took advantage of the situation and gave the Shadow Demons no chance to catch their breath. He charged forward quickly, his sword changing its position constantly, sometimes stabbing straight, sometimes slashing diagonally. His movements were fluid and unimpeded. One Shadow Demon tried to sneak up on him from the side, but Aiden seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He gave a backkick that sent the Shadow Demon flying. Then he stabbed another Shadow Demon through the throat. Under his fierce attack, these Shadow Demons finally fell to the ground, their black blood pooling on the ground.
As the battle progressed, the dwarf warriors noticed that the Native Demons pouring into the city seemed to be decreasing, and a sense of joy rose in everyone's hearts.
Did they manage to hold the city gates?
Some of the dwarf warriors, whose bodies had been tensing up, also relaxed slightly, and their eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of the city gates, as if to confirm whether they had really managed to hold the city gates.
Obviously, that was impossible!
After a short pause, a new group of monsters suddenly poured in through the city gate!
Aiden, who was near the city gate, immediately recognized them as the Shadow Demons he had just fought. There were hundreds of these Shadow Demons, and their dark bodies did not reflect any light in the sun.
“Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, all fighters gather for combat, don't fall out of formation! Team 4, operates the trebuchet to prevent these monsters from entering the city first, and Team 5, assists the fighters inside the city to defend against these monsters...”
Aiden understood the strength of the Shadow Demon and his expression immediately became serious. He shouted, “Team 1, 2, and 3, all fighters gather and fight together, don't fall behind! Team 4 will operate the trebuchet to prevent these monsters from entering the city first, and Team 5 will assist the fighters inside the city to defend against these monsters...”
The dwarf fighters on the city walls did not reply to him, but a panicked and trembling voice came urgently.
“Captain, quick...look at the sky, there...there are monsters!!”
Aiden looked up and saw more than ten bronze-colored monsters flapping their wings like a bolt of lightning, swooping down at extremely high speed towards the city walls of Gluia Town. Their wings shimmered with a metallic sheen in the sunlight, and with each flap, they created a whistling wind. As they closed in, the monsters' sharp claws, which glowed with a cold light like sharp curved swords, easily broke through the defenses of the dwarf warriors.
Several dwarf warriors fell to the ground, seriously injured, with several deep cuts on their bodies, their armor instantly reddened with blood!
As one bronze-colored monster after another descended on the city walls, they engaged the dwarf warriors above.
Even though these dwarf warriors fought back with all their strength, they simply could not withstand the attacks of the bronze-colored monsters. Their faces were covered in sweat and terror, and their bodies kept backing up.
Aiden's eyes also revealed fear and panic. These monsters had wings and mouths as big as sandworms, and each had a strength close to his. If they fought one-on-one, he was confident that he could kill the other!
But this is war, and he is alone, while the other side has more than ten!
But Aiden is, after all, a battle-hardened warrior and the commander here!
He takes a deep breath, suppresses his panic, and commands Team 1 to go up to the city wall to provide support! Team 1 is the trump melee unit in the North Gate town defense force, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than other teams!
However, this is just a way to buy time! The enemy is too powerful, and only if other town defense forces come to support them will there be a glimmer of a chance to defend the North Gate!
Time is running out, and the situation is now extremely precarious! Near the city gate, the dwarf warriors are being forced back by the Shadow Demons, and the number of warriors defending the gate is gradually decreasing! On the city walls, the dwarf warriors who keep charging forward are being slaughtered easily by the Gyrus Demons!

“Sebas, why haven't the soldiers sent to notify the other town defense forces returned yet?”
Aiden yelled anxiously while swinging his sword to slay the Shadow Demons!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
“If they don't come to our aid soon, we're all going to die here!”
The dwarf warrior known as Sebas knew the situation was critical. With gritted teeth, he dragged his injured body and ran towards the town! However, as soon as he turned into an alley, a sharp claw grabbed him by the body like the hand of death reaching out in the darkness.
Sebas's eyes widened in horror, and what met his gaze was a pair of scarlet eyes, a large sandworm-like mouth that emitted a sickly stench every time it opened and shut, and wings that gleamed with a cold radiance.
“Aaaaaah!”
Sebas's shrill scream pierced through the chaotic and noisy battlefield like a sharp needle, directly piercing everyone's eardrums.
Aiden's body trembled, and he glanced back. Behind them, in the town, there were actually bronze monsters too!
A Gyrus Demon grabbed Sebas with a deathly grip, its face wearing a hideous smile, as its sharp claws plunged into Sebas' body, tearing him to pieces!
This scene could not help but fall into the eyes of Aiden and all the dwarf warriors!
Their lips trembled slightly, and their throats were gripped so tightly by an invisible hand that they could not make a sound. They could only watch as Sebas was mercilessly torn to pieces. The blood and severed limbs all over the ground were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly slashing through the last remaining hope in their hearts.
At this moment, they were under attack from both sides. Aiden's hand holding the weapon trembled slightly. There were actually dozens of Gyrus Demons. Even if other town defense forces came to support them, it would be difficult to resist!
Unless... the elite force led by Edgar was also in the town, and the combined strength of the entire town could fight back!
But that was impossible!
The elite force led by Edgar was not in Gluia Town at the moment!
Coincidentally, not long after they escorted Seth out of Gluia Town, the town encountered such a catastrophe. Obviously, this was planned by the enemy!
Gluia Town had not been involved in such large-scale warfare for a long time, and it had never occurred to them that once it happened, it would be the end!
It was already a dead end, and the courage and confidence in Aiden's heart quickly ebbed like the tide. He wanted to escape, but his feet were pulled by two forces: the desire to survive, and a strong sense of responsibility. In the end, he chose to fight here by raising his weapon. Not only Aiden, but most of the dwarf warriors were the same.
Aiden's fighting was completely disorganized. His eyes were full of panic, his sharp gaze became unfocused, and the sword in his hand was swinging and hacking aimlessly. Dozens of Shadow Demons surrounded him in the center, constantly surrounding and attacking, while also driving Aiden to keep moving! The wounds on Aiden's body were also gradually increasing, and his blood-stained his armor red. When he stopped, he found that he had been driven unconsciously to the side of the huge Evil Miasma Demon Queen, who was like a hill!
However, he was facing Morrigan directly, while she raised one of her enormous feet and aimed it at the top of his head.
A foul, fishy smell wafted over, and the Evil Miasma Demon Queen, whose hands were stuck in the door, gave a smile to the “little thing” at her feet.
“Oh? It's meat, it's running over by itself!”
She said, and then she slammed her foot down hard.
Aiden dropped his weapon, which clattered to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. He put his palms together and struggled to withstand Morrigan's enormous foot. His arms were tensed, veins bulging, and his face contorted with effort.
Morrigan snorted, and the surrounding Demons, as if receiving some sort of command, pounced even more frantically on Aiden.
Aiden's wounds grew more and more numerous and larger.
A few seconds later, with a “puff” sound, it was the sound of bones being crushed.
Both Aiden's armor and his hard skull were reduced to pieces at Morrigan's big feet.
Several Shadow Demons surrounded her feet, unable to wait to share the corpse of the dead Aiden.
The rest continued to rush towards the dwarf warriors!
“Hey, more meat!”
Morrigan looked up, her deformed features twisting with excitement. Her eyes gleamed with evil light as she grinned widely, her mouth full of sharp teeth, and stared at the dwarf warriors in the distance.
...
In the distance, the dwarf warriors were also being slaughtered by Demon.
As the number of dwarf warriors defending the city gate decreased sharply, the Evil Miasma Demon Queen pushed the city gate open completely. The city gate let out a “creaky” wail as if lamenting the impending fall of the town. More and more Demons poured into Gluia Town!
The north gate was completely breached!
