Chapter 24 The Appearance of the Abyss Demon "As long as we are careful and have these 10 Swadian recruits only kill undead monsters near the corridors near the main building of the stronghold, there will be no problem." Shen Mu still made careful consideration. Although this will cause the upgrade speed of these Swadian recruits to be slower, it is obviously safer. The rules of the dead are extremely strange, and the level of danger at night is definitely not what we have seen before, with only those few undead monsters. The remaining memories of his previous life in Shen Mu's mind told him. If the number of undead monsters killed in a small area reaches a certain peak, it will cause a special reaction from the undead rules. More, stronger and more terrifying undead monsters will descend. There are even undead monsters that can use energy, like spellcasters, which are extremely scary! "It's always better to be careful." Shen Mu pursed his lips. ……
So two days passed in a flash. The sun was setting. The dim sunlight struggled again on the western horizon, as if it was barely surviving, releasing its last bit of strength. Those were the former rules of Blue Star, the last bit of attachment and protection for Blue Star. The darkness is coming. In less than half an hour, the Blue Star will be occupied by the darkness simulated by the rules of the dead, and endless undead monsters will appear in this world. Many Blue Star people who were still alive in this world had already lit bonfires and began to prepare to hide. However, it is located in an apartment complex in the suburbs of Longcheng. The aroma of oatmeal is spreading. In the main house of Shen Mu's base, the bonfire in the fireplace was burning vigorously, and streams of choking smoke were discharged from the chimney. Five Swadian light infantrymen who were assigned to serve as temporary cooks were busy preparing dinner. There are ready-made cooking tools in the main house of the stronghold, including large long-handled spoons, large iron pots, large wooden plates and many wooden bowls. After all, the main house of this stronghold was converted from a tower. Towers are often found in castles or fortresses, and are considered the core buildings of a section of the city wall. So it's quite normal to have these cooking tools. Leaning against the campfire, the huge iron pot absorbed the heat from the fireplace, and the thick oatmeal porridge that had already been cooked was bubbling. The Swadian light infantry threw in the chopped vegetables, the dried mushrooms and earthworms sent by the halflings, and the various rice and flour found on Blue Star and started to cook them together, including a few cans of braised beef or pork, which made the taste of this pot of oatmeal porridge quite wonderful. On the grill next to the fireplace, bread slices that had been sliced with a saw were also placed on it and baked to form a crust, making it more crispy. And in several small iron cans nearby, there are various syrups such as white sugar or rock sugar dissolved in water being boiled there.
These syrups are meant to be spread on bread later. Of course, there are also various peanut butters, sesame pastes, date pastes, etc., all to make the taste better. After all, tonight is a very important battle. Shen Mu took it very seriously. Therefore, we have done our best to prepare these meals to the best possible level. These soldiers actually noticed the solemn atmosphere in the main house of the stronghold, so when they were eating, there was no whispering among them, and they all ate their food quickly. Didn't eat too much. The battle that follows is extremely intense. If you eat too much, you may vomit due to tension and exertion during the battle, which could be fatal. 25 third-level Swadian light infantrymen, 10 second-level mercenary sentinels, and 10 second-level Lake Rat Gang newcomers, all of whom are practical fighters who have been on the battlefield. Of course I understand these very simple truths. Wait until dinner is finished. These 45 soldiers, fully armed and ready for battle, all sat down at 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 and placed the Germanic sword and fan-shaped shield in his hands on the table. While waiting, he nodded secretly. "Fortunately, last night, at the last minute, I was able to train all 10 Swadian militiamen and upgrade them to Swadian light infantry." Inside the main house of the stronghold were the 25 Swadian light infantrymen, five in a team, sitting there in silence, their chain mail flashing coldly in the dim light, looking extremely capable. This was the absolute main force in the fierce battle tonight. When facing an unknown demon army whose number, type, and strength are unknown, but we only know that they will definitely launch an attack. Shen Mu needed these Swadian light infantrymen armed with shields and spears to form a tight defensive line to block the enemy's attack in the corridor. "Then, it is the crossbows mounted on the top floor and the light crossbows of these hired sentinels that will deal the damage." Shen Mu sighed deeply. The unknown is what scares the most. As the night was approaching, even his heart gradually became solemn and serious. Two days ago, Shen Mu was leveling up with the 10 Swadian recruits. On the first night, when he was upgraded to a Swadian militia, Shen Mu discovered that the stench of sulfur in the corridor was getting worse. And it was even stronger as it approached the corridor near Room 7040. Until last night. The strong stench even spread to the corridor here. So far.
"Buzz!" Outside the window, as the last bit of sunset disappeared, the blue planet was instantly enveloped by a pitch-black darkness. When complete darkness and evil began to descend. The mixed smell of sulfur, fishy smell, decay and other odors came directly from the corridor like a gust of wind! Even Shen Mu and the soldiers who were still in the main building of the stronghold subconsciously covered their noses. Even the aroma of oatmeal porridge that had previously permeated the room was completely destroyed by the impact. Only the stench is left! "Everyone, pay attention!" Shen Mu stood up. The Swadian light infantrymen who were still sitting in the corner to rest also stood up as Shen Mu stood up. Their movements were so quick that the chain mail on their bodies rustled. Shen Mu's eyes were extremely solemn. Looking at the soldiers who showed little fear on their faces, he said in a deep voice: "Prepare for battle!" "For Swadia! Fight!" These Swadian light infantry responded in unison, their eyes firm and their voices without any tremor. in contrast. When faced with Shen Mu's solemn look, these light infantrymen, who were eager to make achievements and carve out a name for themselves in the troubled times, became more eager to try and long for battle! In other words, it is having the courage to face the upcoming battle! 'Boom! ' At this moment, some loud noise suddenly came from outside the stronghold. If someone came to the outside of room 7040 on the seventh floor at this time, they would be shocked to find that something had actually smashed the iron security door into pieces. As more and more pungent stench emerged from inside. Then, one by one, little demons with stronger bodies, more sophisticated iron forks in their hands and faster movements jumped out from inside, flapping their wings and screaming. In just a few minutes, hundreds of little demons filled the entire corridor, making it extremely crowded! At the same time, a huge dark red claw with a rough surface pressed against the door frame. ‘Boom! ’ The door frame was as fragile as tofu dregs and was easily twisted and deformed by a single squeeze. Even the reinforced concrete walls were shedding pieces. "Ga! Ga, gaga, gaga!" The little demons jumped around in fear, making way for the owner of the huge claw. Gray fog filled the air. A demon about two meters tall, with huge arms, a sturdy body, two huge goat horns on its forehead, and a body surface as black as cooled lava, appeared in the corridor! And just after this demon appeared, bursts of roars were heard behind it. Seven or eight hellhounds, which were larger than wolfhounds, came into this world with their teeth bared. Staring with eyes emitting red light. He stared fiercely at the direction of Shen Mu's stronghold diagonally across the corridor. Represents… The demon army's attack has begun!
