They both charged at each other at the same time, Rocky and the demon moving so fast that it only took a few blinks of an eye for the two to crash into each other fiercely!
Like an arrow released from the string, Rocky collided head-on with the demon at the forefront. This wasn’t just a figure of speech, he had literally slammed right into the demon. The tremendous force of the impact had flipped over the two-meter-tall black-eyed demon!
Having flipped the demon over, Rocky didn’t engage with it any further. Instead, he soared into the air, and once he was midair, he immediately dove down, targeting another demon. This demon was his actual target.
The demon chosen by Rocky was over two and a half meters tall, the largest and most ferocious of the eight demons!
With demons, the saying “all bark, no bite” didn’t apply. The bigger and more horrifying a demon looked, the more formidable it would be! And Rocky, wearing the Void Magic Armor, naturally chose the most formidable demon as his target.
He dove onto the largest black-eyed demon, and taking advantage of the momentum, Rocky swung his sword down in one fluid motion, striking the shoulder of the black-eyed demon.
However, the demon’s skin was too thick. Faced with a side sword that had been enhanced with runes, which was at least close to two stars in power, the sword came crashing down only to leave a small wound on the demon’s shoulder.
This strike didn’t seriously injure the demon; instead, it enraged the black-eyed demon, which let out a hoarse roar and immediately clawed at Rocky’s chest, scratching him twice in an instant!
If it had been an ordinary soldier who was clawed by the demon, they would have definitely died, but Rocky was wearing the Void Magic Armor and had rune enhancement, so even though he was sent flying, he wasn’t seriously injured. Taking advantage of the momentum, he soared into the air again and dived towards the giant demon!
“This commander… is quite brave…”
Rocky, who was the first to engage the demon, naturally caught everyone’s attention, especially the people from Backhill Village on the high wall.
And as they watched Rocky battle with the biggest black-eyed demon, they internally gave him a thumbs up for his bravery!
“Yes, it’s because he’s wearing the Void Magic Armor.”
As they watched Rocky and the demon fight time and again, the people around Lin Feng felt somewhat envious. They were familiar with the reputation of the Void Magic Armor, but unfortunately, Backhill Village couldn’t afford such expensive equipment, so watching Rocky clad in the Void Magic Armor fighting the demon made these people extremely envious.
“Stop the idle talk and get the archers and mages ready!”
While others were focused on Rocky, Lin Feng had a serious expression. He didn’t need to watch Rocky because there was no danger to him in the Void Magic Armor. He was truly focused on the troops behind Rocky!
While everyone was chatting, other demons had already charged toward the troops behind Rocky!
These black-eyed demons seemed to have no brains, or maybe they just didn’t understand the concept of teamwork. Yesterday, when Lin Feng fought a demon one-on-one, the others charged at the troops, and today they did the same; while Rocky engaged the strongest black-eyed demon, the remaining seven demons charged recklessly at the troops behind him.
And only then did the real battle begin!
“Everyone, stay calm! Follow the command!”
Leading her own small team at the very front, Liliya was shouting loudly while intently watching the demon closest to her team. This demon might not be as huge as the one tangled with Rocky, but it was still big, and from the direction it was coming from, it looked like it was targeting her team.
As the demon drew nearer, Liliya raised her shield and ordered her team, “Shields up!”
At a command, the rest of the squad raised their shields and simultaneously activated the mana in both their shields and armor, enveloping the otherwise ordinary shields and armor in a halo of light!
Just a few seconds after the guards raised their shields, the black-eyed demon charged forward and swept its claw without warning!
There were two thudding sounds as the demon’s sweeping attack hit four guards in succession, knocking two of them over with its immense force, while the other two were also pushed back several steps.
But because they had all raised their shields in time, and more importantly, activated the mana in their shields and armor, they looked somewhat disheveled but did not sustain any real damage.
“Surround it!”
Ignoring the guards who had been knocked down and pushed back, after the black-eyed demon’s strike, Liliya immediately yelled out and led the rest to encircle the demon. The guards who had been knocked down and pushed back also got up and joined the encirclement.
Thus, Liliya led her squad and completely surrounded the demon.
“Others, look for an opportunity to attack!”
Having said that, Liliya rushed toward the encircled demon and leaped high in the air, slashing it with her sword, creating a foot-long gash across the chest of the black-eyed demon!
Liliya’s rune sword was even better than the side sword of the Void Magic Armor. If evaluated by today’s standards, this rune longsword would easily be considered a three-star weapon. Even the tough hide of the black-eyed demon couldn’t withstand such a slash, and blood immediately sprayed from the large gash across its chest.
“Chi chi chi! Chi!”
The severely injured black-eyed demon let out a scream and mindlessly swiped its claw at the nearest guard.
There was a loud bang as the claw hit the guard, sending him flying several meters, but it did not kill him because his runic armor absorbed most of the force, allowing him to rise from the ground soon after and then rejoin the encirclement!
“Raise your shields! Raise all your shields!”
“Raise shields! Activate the mana! Everyone stay orderly!”
While Liliya was leading her squad to encircle a demon and fight it fiercely, calls for action and mana activation also continuously came from behind her, indicating that other squads were also engaging the demons in battle.
Because everyone had begun fighting, nearly in an instant, the battlefield was filled with a blaze of light.
This scene left everyone on the high wall dumbstruck!
“My goodness … how do they have such good equipment?”
“Are these soldiers all wearing magic energy equipment?”
As they watched the guards activating their magic energy equipment, everyone from Backhill Village was gaping, their faces filled with disbelief.
