Chapter 28 A hearty victory
The moment the horned demon was killed by the ballista with three spears, those demons knew that the situation on the battlefield was bad.
Demons are indeed intelligent, abyss creatures that can think.
It just looks extremely violent.
The destructive power is amazing.
But when these demons are slaughtered and start to fall into the headwind of the battle, the fear they should have will still appear.
After all, the birth of abyssal creatures like demons evolved because the soul fragments of countless creatures were roughly condensed by the will of the bottomless abyss, and finally formed into demon worms.
Essentially speaking, these demons still have all kinds of negative emotions that soul creatures have.
Including fear and fear.
“Roar! Woof woof woof!”
Even those hellhounds with lower IQs and more ferocious spirits grinned at this time and looked like they were about to pounce, but they did not take half a step forward at all. On the contrary, it showed their bluff!
After the horned demon, the commander of this small demon team is killed, according to the past practice of these demons, they will collapse on the spot!
The reason why we are still in a stalemate now.
Purely because this horned demon died so quickly, and these demons hadn’t reacted yet!
Just because these demons couldn't react, it didn't mean that Shen Mu, who had been observing from the rear and commanding the battle, didn't react.
"Lance phalanx! Move forward!"
Shen Mu moved forward holding a torch.
"Move forward!"
At the same time, as Shen Mu's order was issued, the Swadia light infantry really moved forward slowly.
Following the steps of Shen Mu behind him, holding up a phalanx of spears like hedgehogs, he started to squeeze forward step by step to squeeze the distance and space between the hellhounds and the little devils.
He even pointed the sharp spear towards the faces of the hellhounds and little devils in front of him, forcefully!
Shen Mu wants to use this narrow corridor to annihilate all these demonic troops who dare to invade!
‘Buzz…bang! ’
And when Shen Mu and the spear phalanx of the Swadia light infantry advanced, the three-tiered ballistae had not stopped firing.
The spears once again bombarded the most crowded areas of the demonic troops.
A bloody path was blasted out again.
As long as it is hit by a spear, whether it is a hellhound or a little devil, whether it is a claw or a torso, everything will be blown to pieces.
"Quack! Quack! Quack!"
As a result, the little devils who were originally frightened by the death of the horned devil as the commander began to shout in fright. Fleeing backwards only caused more chaos, congestion, stampedes and collisions!
So much so that those little devils who could have united together, cooperated with each other, and fought against Shen Mu and the Swadia light infantry started fighting each other for a chance to escape.
It makes the scene even more chaotic and the situation more difficult to control!
‘Buzz…bang! ’
‘Swish, swish, swish! ’
Plus the shooting of ballistae and mercenary sentries.
Swarms of little devils fell to the ground like smoked moths, still struggling, begging and howling in an attempt to escape.
But then the Swadian light infantry who was caught up stabbed them to death on the marble floor of the corridor that was stained red with blood.
I couldn’t even struggle a few times.
Didn’t even resist.
In this way, they collapsed because of fear, and became more fearful because of the collapse, which led to a more complete collapse, and they were so scared that they completely lost the ability to resist.
Let the journey from the main house of Shen Mu's stronghold to the elevator room and the two forked roads to the left and right become a road of death!
"Kill! Long live Swadia!"
At this time, the Swadia light infantry had given up their spears, and even the spear phalanx had been disbanded.
They are wearing fan-shaped shields in their left hands and holding Germanic swords in their right hands.
One of them held a torch and followed the retreating direction of the little devils, chasing them excitedly!
It's not just these Swadian light infantry.
When those little devils were out of the range of the crossbow attack, the 10 new members of the Lake Rat Gang who were still operating the crossbow on the top floor and acting as a reserve team directly picked up their small-edged axes and walked down the stairs. When they arrived in the corridor, they followed the team of Swadian light infantry and chased the little devils with a grin behind them.
"Jiejiejiejiejiejie!" These newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang, who were originally half fishermen and half professional bandits, were really excited.
The small-edged ax in his hand is very well made.
Make sure that every time you swing, as long as you master the angle, you can cause a heavy blow to any enemy or creature you chop!
Those little devils, who were already weak, were still rolling and crawling forward with flapping wings.
The new member of the Lake Rat Gang who was being chased picked up a small-edged ax and hit it on the back of his head.
My head collapsed on the spot.
He immediately fell to the ground with his head down, without making any sound.
Even if there are remnants of hellhounds in front of them, they are even less intelligent and want to pounce on them, howling like a trapped beast.
He just backhanded the fishdart in his backpack.
A kind of spear that is also 1 meter long and has an extremely slender and sharp tip. It is usually used to insert fish in shallow water areas. It is almost like a conditioned reflex and is thrown towards the face of the hell dog or the approaching figure.
This close range throwing damage is an enhanced version of powerful damage. Whether it was a hellhound or a little devil who dared to fight back, he was pierced by the darts on the spot.
Then he fell heavily to the ground.
Then he was caught up in a few steps, picked up the small-edged ax in his hand, and struck the new member of the Lake Rat Gang hard on the head, completely understanding life!
"Kill!" These newcomers to the Lake Rat Gang were shouting excitedly.
“Kill!”
The Swadia light infantry also cheered in response.
Behind this group of soldiers, Shen Mu, who had not joined the front-line battle, was holding a fan-shaped shield and a Germanic sword, and the smile on his lips never dissipated.
In just ten minutes, the offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed.
The demonic troops came to invade Shen Mu.
Instead, he was chased by Shen Mu’s troops!
Except for the hired sentries who are still stationed in the main building and do not dare to leave easily, holding light crossbows and looking envious on their faces.
Now, 25 Swadian light infantry and 10 newcomers from the Lake Rat Gang are hunting down hundreds of little devils, stepping on the corpses of little devils all over the ground, and killing them. With that sticky, smelly blood, a slaughterhouse-like...
slaughter unfolded!
"Stop!"
All the way to the door of Room 7040.
Those promoted little devils flapped their bat wings and rushed in with squawking noises, as if they were dogs in water.
Shen Mu then spoke and stopped the pursuit of the soldiers who were already excited and even a little crazy.
Especially holding a torch and looking at the dark, completely destroyed room door of Room 7040.
Darkness and gray fog gathered inside.
Out of caution, Shen Mu waved his hand, and with the soldiers who were gradually recovering, they began to line up and return to the main house of his stronghold.
It’s not a worry to wait until daytime to explore this spiritual world scene.
For now anyway.
Using the absolute geographical advantage, I defeated the demonic troops in this spiritual world scene within the corridor of the apartment.
In a short pursuit range of less than a hundred meters, two to three hundred little devils were probably killed.
Although more than half of them escaped back.
But they have lost the horned demon and the hellhound, the two main demons in the demon army.
Just some little devils.
What kind of storm can it afford?
"Go back to the stronghold and take a brief rest first."
Shen Mu issued the order.
Back at the door of the main house of the stronghold, the strong smell of blood and sulfur almost hit my head as my spirit slowed down.
Shen Mu, who didn't have too much of a mysophobia, could only bear it by covering his nose with a towel soaked in water.
Fortunately, those soldiers from the world of riding and slashing can endure it.
After all, in the continent of Calradia, regardless of whether you have a riding and slashing background or a hegemonic background, it looks like a paradise for heroes or nobles to make achievements, but it is actually a cruel hell for ordinary soldiers.
Just the cruel siege, the immoral massacre of villages, the robbery of merchants and the killing of villagers, and the corpses that no one collected after the field battle.
This strong smell of blood and stench is really just meager.
These mounted soldiers could even sit on the corpses and eat the sticky wheat porridge cooked in the kitchen from wooden bowls.
By the way, they laughed and ridiculed each other, mocking their comrades for their useless performance on the battlefield, and showing off how many heads they had snatched away.
This is no joke.
But just outside the main house of Shen Mu's stronghold, in the corridor, the Swadia light infantry and the new members of the Lake Rat Gang were taking a brief rest, what was going on!
Shen Mu was sitting at the head of the long table, also holding a wooden bowl filled with sticky wheat porridge in his hand.
He looked stunned.
Because right on his retina, the dialog box had appeared.
【bite! This is a hearty victory! 】
【Based on the perfect performance of you and your subordinates on the battlefield, you have obtained a ‘Silver Level Treasure Box’ x 1. 】
【You have completed the task! 】
