Chapter 24 The Appearance of the Abyss Demon
“As long as you are careful and let these 10 Swadian recruits only kill undead monsters near the corridor near the main building of the stronghold, there will be no problem.”
< br>Shen Mu still made careful considerations.
Although this will cause the upgrade speed of these Swadian recruits to be slower, it is obviously safer.
The rules of the undead are extremely weird. The level of danger at night is definitely not what I have seen before, except for the undead monsters.
In Shen Mu's mind, the remaining memories of his previous life told him.
If the number of undead monsters killed in a certain small area reaches a certain peak, it will cause a special reaction according to the undead rules.
More stronger and more terrifying undead monsters will come.
There are even undead monsters that can use energy and act like spellcasters, which are extremely terrifying!
“Be careful, you’re always right.” Shen Mu pursed his lips.
...
So two days passed by in a flash.
At this time the sun was setting in the west.
The dim sunshine struggled on the western horizon again, as if it was lingering on, releasing its last bit of power.
That was the rule of Blue Star Homeland, the last bit of attachment and protection for Blue Star Homeland.
Darkness is coming.
In less than half an hour, Blue Star will be occupied by the darkness simulated by the undead rules, and endless undead monsters will appear in this world.
Many remaining Blue Star people in this world have also lit bonfires at this time and began to prepare to hide.
However, it is located in an apartment complex on the outskirts of Longcheng.
The aroma of wheat porridge is filling the air.
In the main room of Shen Mu's stronghold, the bonfire in the fireplace burned vigorously, and streams of choking smoke were exhausted from the chimney.
The five Swadia light infantrymen who were deployed as temporary chefs were busy making dinner.
There are ready-made cooking tools in the main house of the stronghold, including large ladles and large iron pots, as well as large wooden plates and many wooden bowls.
After all, the main house of this stronghold itself is a converted tower.
Buildings like towers are often found in castles or fortresses and are considered the core building of a city wall area.
So having these cooking tools is pretty normal.
Leaning next to the bonfire, the huge iron pot absorbed the heat in the fireplace, stirring the thick wheat porridge that had been cooked into bubbles.
The Swadian light infantry threw in the chopped vegetables, the dried mushrooms and earthworms sent by the halflings, and the various rice noodles found by Blue Star, and began to cook them together, including several Braised beef or canned pork makes this pot of wheat porridge taste wonderful.
On the barbecue grill next to the fireplace, slices of bread that have been sliced with a saw are also placed on top and baked to create a rubber shell, making the taste even crispier.
And in several small tin cans next to it, there are various white sugar or rock sugar and other syrups boiled with water.
These syrups are the sauces that are spread on the bread later.
Of course, there are also various peanut butter, sesame paste, date paste and other things in it, all to make the taste better.
After all, tonight is an extremely important battle.
Shen Mu attaches great importance to it.
So these meals have been made to the best possible condition.
These soldiers were actually aware of the solemn atmosphere permeating the main room of the stronghold, so there was no whispering among each other while eating, and they were all eating food quickly.
Not too full.
In the extremely fierce battle that will follow, if you eat too much and vomit due to nervousness and exertion during the battle, it will be fatal.
Twenty-five third-level Swadian light infantry, 10 second-level mercenary sentries, and 10 second-level Lake Rat Gang newcomers are all actual combatants who have been on the battlefield.
Of course I understand these extremely simple truths.
Wait until dinner is finished.
The 45 soldiers, who were fully armed and ready for battle, all sat in their respective positions in the main house of the stronghold to rest.
Shen Mu sat on the long-backed wooden chair at the head of the long table, placing the Germanic sword and fan-shaped shield in his hands on the table.
While waiting, I nodded secretly.
“Fortunately, last night, at the last moment, I managed to train all 10 Swadian militiamen and upgraded them to Swadian light infantry.”
In the main room of the stronghold were the 25 Swadian light infantry, a team of five, sitting silently, their chainmails shining coldly in the dim light, looking extremely capable. This is the absolute main force in tonight's fierce battle.
When facing an unknown demon force with unknown quantity, unknown type, and unknown strength, we only know that they will definitely launch an attack.
Shen Mu needs these Swadian light infantry armed with shields and spears to form a tight defensive front to block the enemy's attack in the corridor.
“Then, the ballistas set up on the top floor and the light crossbows of these hired sentries are used to carry out the killing output.”
Shen Mu sighed deeply.
The unknown is the most frightening.
As the night was approaching, even his heart gradually became more dignified and serious.
Two days ago, Shen Mu took the 10 Swadia recruits to level up.
On the first night, when he upgraded to the Swadian militia, Shen Mu noticed that the sulfur smell in the corridor was getting worse.
And when approaching the corridor in Room 7040, it becomes even more intense.
Last night arrived.
The strong smell spread to the corridor here.
Even now.
‘Buzz! ’ Outside the window, as the last bit of the setting sun disappeared, the Blue Star was instantly enveloped by a darkness that made it invisible.
When total darkness and evil begin to descend.
The smell of sulfur, fishy, putrid and other odors mixed together was like a gust of wind, whistling from the corridor!
Even Shen Mu, who was still in the main building of the stronghold, and the soldiers subconsciously covered their noses.
Even the scent of wheat porridge that had filled the room before was completely eliminated by the impact.
Only the smell is left!
"Everyone pay attention!" Shen Mu stood up, and the Swadian light infantry who were still sitting in the corner and resting all stood up as Shen Mu stood up, with such skillful movements that the chainmail armor on their bodies shook. Clatter.
Shen Mu's eyes were extremely solemn. Looking at these soldiers who showed little fear on their faces, he also said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight!"
"For Swadia! Fight!" These Swadian light infantry responded in unison, with firm eyes and no trembling in their tone.
On the contrary.
When faced with Shen Mu's solemn look, these light infantrymen, who were eager to make contributions and make a name for themselves in troubled times, became more and more eager to try and fight!
In other words, it is having the courage to face the upcoming battle!
‘Bang! ’
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the stronghold.
If anyone comes to room 7040 on the seventh floor at this time, they will be shocked to find that something has smashed the iron security door.
As waves of more offensive stench emerged from inside.
Then, little devils with stronger physiques, more sophisticated iron forks in their hands, and faster movements jumped out from inside with flapping wings and loud screams.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of little devils crowded the entire corridor!
At the same time, a huge dark red claw with rough skin pressed against the door frame.
‘Bang! ’
The door frame was as fragile as tofu dregs. It was twisted and deformed with just a handful of pinches. Even the reinforced concrete walls were falling into pieces.
"Gah! Gah! Gah!" Those little demons jumped around in fear, making way for the owner of this huge claw.
The gray fog filled the room.
A demon about two meters tall, with huge arms, a burly body, and two huge goat horns on its forehead, with its body covered in black like lava cooling, appeared in the corridor. among!
And just after the demon appeared, there were waves of roars coming from behind.
Seven or eight hellhounds, which were larger than wolfdogs, came into this world with their teeth bared.
Staring at the red eyes.
He stared fiercely at Shen Mu's stronghold diagonally across the corridor.
Represents...
The attack of the demon army has begun!
