Chapter 31: Gluia Town in Utter Chaos

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

The other dwarf fighters from the town defense force had already received orders from their respective captains and were rushing to reinforce the city gates in various areas. Their eyes were determined, and each of them gripped their weapons tightly, the armor on their bodies making a slight clanging sound as they ran.

But before they could reach their destination, the bad news came.

The news was like a cold wind, instantly blowing away the fire of hope in their hearts.

The messenger soldier, his face full of fear, had run all the way here. His hair was flying in the wind, his eyes wide, his mouth open from his rapid breathing, and his voice shaking with panic: “The north city gate has fallen! The monsters have already entered the city!”

No matter how pessimistic these soldiers were, they never expected the north gate of Gluia Town to fall so quickly.

Their faces were full of shock, and disbelief was in their eyes.

Some of the soldiers' feet couldn't help but slow down as if they had been struck in the soul by the news; others clenched their fists, their knuckles white with the force of their grip, their hearts filled with anger and unwillingness. They could never accept this cruel reality. They had originally thought that the north gate would hold out for a while, but now it had been breached so quickly.

What happened next was even more unexpected!

Before they even reached the battlefield, they were caught up in deadly chaos and street fighting.

——————————————

In the alley by the street, a short dwarf girl encountered danger. Her thin figure looked especially helpless in the dim alley. She was wearing a patterned skirt, which swayed violently as she ran, and the patterns on the skirt looked like frightened butterflies flitting about in a panic. Her little face had turned pale with fear, her eyes filled with tears. As she ran, she screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice full of despair, echoing in the narrow alley like the last cry for survival.

Behind her, there were two Native Demons that had completely gone insane. Their eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, which, like red silk threads, set off the terror in their already evil eyes. Their bodies trembled violently, as if controlled by an invisible force, their feet stumbling but moving extremely fast as they chased after the dwarf girl.

The two Native Demons, whose mouths constantly spat out white foam, as if suffering from rabies, chased after the cute dwarf girl while roaring and snarling at everything around them. The white foam kept spilling from the corners of its ugly mouth, dripping onto the ground and emitting a pungent smell. Every time it roared, a foul breath would spurt from its mouth, and its teeth gleamed as it opened and shut its mouth, like sharp little daggers, as if it wanted to tear everything in sight to pieces.

“Don't be afraid! I'll help you,”

A young dwarf warrior from a passing town defense force did not hesitate to draw his weapon. His brown hair danced in the wind as he charged up the steps, his steps making a “thump thump” sound on the ground.

The captain of this town defense force was about to speak to stop him, after all, their mission was not to engage with a single enemy but to quickly go and support the city gates.

The captain's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his lips parted, and the words were already on the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he did not say them!

Because he saw the determination in the young dwarf warrior's eyes., oncea warrior's blood is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish.

Moreover, this young dwarf warrior had already fought with these two Native Demons.

The captain saw this situation and didn't say anything more. Although the mission was urgent, the time needed to deal with the two Native Demons was not much.

A delay of ten seconds could undoubtedly save a dwarf girl, which was undoubtedly worthwhile!

It has to be said that after experiencing [Foul Miasma], the Native Demon is not afraid of any pain and its combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced. Originally, when they were attacked, they would slow down their attack speed, but now, even if they are cut or stabbed, they do not react at all, just launching attacks endlessly. The ferocity of their attacks is chilling.

In the past, the Native Demon could be dealt with in just a few strikes, but now, it takes some effort for the dwarf warrior to kill it.

“Thank you, great warrior,”

After the dwarf girl was safe, she came to the warrior who had saved her, her eyes sparkling with tears of gratitude. Her little face was flushed, and she gave the warrior a sincere and warm hug.

Before the dwarf warrior could even introduce himself, his captain and the rest of his teammates pulled him along to provide support.

There was no time to waste!

Unfortunately, however, as soon as they set off, like a ship that had just set sail, they were met with a storm.

More and more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground appeared all around them. The sounds were like heavy stones falling to the ground, each one accompanied by a dull echo.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

One after the other, Native Demons contaminated by the Evil Miasma Demon Queen's [Foul Miasma] emerged from their cages. Their eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust, and they exuded a putrid stench that made the townsfolk around them vomit.

More and more townsfolk began to cry out for help.

“Oww!”

“Ahhh, help!”

These townsfolk were basically in the same situation.

The Native Demon that had fallen from the sky did not pause for a moment after landing and went after them like a madman.

“Oh my, so many townsfolk have come to us for help, we can't just ignore them...”

The captain of the town defense force thought to himself as he looked at the mess around him.

His eyebrows were knitted together tightly, his eyes full of worry and confusion, his gaze flickering between the terrified townsfolk and his own team.

His lips tightened involuntarily, his teeth nibbling his lower lip, as if two little people were arguing fiercely inside his heart. One voice said that the townsfolk were the ones they were protecting and they could not just stand by and do nothing; the other voice reminded him that they had an even more important task, to support the city gate, as every second of delay could plunge the entire town into an inescapable state of ruin.

But his expectations were destined to be dashed.

Because, this town defense force was in even greater trouble themselves, and they had no choice!

Several bronze-colored flying monsters, carrying a dozen jet-black monsters, suddenly descended from the sky and attacked them!

Those bronze-colored flying monsters had the mouths of sandworms, and when their wings flapped, they created a gust of wind, they had an extremely terrifying speed and attack power. They darted through the air like lightning, and in an instant, they rushed to the dwarf warriors.

The dwarf warriors were basically unable to resist, but the speed of those monsters was just too fast, and their attacks were too fierce. Their weapons often only managed to make a feeble mark in the air.

Not only here, but these monsters have attacked many places in Gluia Town. Yes, this group of monsters has crossed the city walls and directly invaded the town.

Gyrus Demons, Shadow Demons, and Native Demons have actually appeared in Gluia Town!

Although there were not many of them, they rampaged through the town, causing even more chaos in Gluia Town!

How did these demons get into the town?

It was none other than Caelan himself who was responsible for this extremely chaotic situation.

...

“Team Gyrus Demon, each carry 4 Shadow Demons and fly to Area 4 to intercept!”

“Morrigan, use [Throw Demon] towards the Area 3!”

...

After issuing her orders, Morrigan, who was 100% obedient to Caelan, immediately picked up a cage containing Native Demons from her chest. Her bloated and bulky body swayed slightly, and her huge arms, like thick tree trunks, flexed with her movements. The Native Demons in the cages hanging from her sarcoid-covered body let out low growls, as if in response to their upcoming mission.

Morrigan's movements were extremely precise, and her deformed hand tightly grasped the handle of the cage. She built up her strength and then threw it high into the air. Her feet were firmly rooted to the ground, and her body leaned back like a bow being drawn. As she threw with all her strength, her arm looked like the barrel of a cannon firing a shell. The cage traced an arc in the air, gaining speed, and the surrounding air was sliced open by the cage, making a whistling sound. Morrigan's face showed a ferocious focus, her eyes fixed on the direction the cage flew.

[Skill [Throw Demon] released!]

Of course, the Native Demons would suffer damage in the process of impact, but as long as they were alive, both for Caelan and the Evil Miasma Demon Queen, there were enough Native Demons, and there was definitely enough ammunition!

Those Native Demons that were thrown out of the cage were struggling frantically inside it. Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty desire, an instinctive craving for destruction and killing. Even though they were injured, they howled with excitement at the thought of charging into Gluia Town.

As long as the Native Demons could enter Gluia Town alive, the unlucky ones would be the townsfolk of Gluia Town!
