The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Ges's face turned green and he couldn't speak, he could only stare at that face, then allowed the skeleton soldiers behind to push him down the mountain to the dungeon.

It was a cave, not very spacious, the cold and sinister atmosphere made it hard not to feel afraid.

In this cave, Ges saw his subordinates.

All fifty cavalry were captured, disarmed, had their hands and feet bound, and wore shackles that restricted their Extraordinary Power.

As for the militia, not a single one of them was here, it seemed they didn't resist at all and directly ran away.

"These cowards..."

Baron Ges felt both angry and disgraced in his heart, he was filled with disappointment towards his people.

He has had enough.

Just wait and see!

When he gets out, these guys shouldn't expect a good end!

If he can get out...

...

In the farmhouse at Silver Pine Town, "Shoe-dropper" Abel tossed the militia uniform and icy socks into the bucket together, then hurriedly changed into his own coat.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew into the drafty farmhouse, chilling the back of his neck, making him shiver uncontrollably.

"Who's talking about me..." Abel muttered, throwing the wood chunks into the furnace, lighting them along with the curled wood shavings.

Watching the flames slowly burn, his anxious mood finally calmed a little, he drew a cross on his chest, prayed in front of the furnace.

Saint Sis above, please forgive his cowardice.

He really didn't mean to run away, it was truly that those demons were too terrifying, even the knights didn't stand a chance.

Speaking of which, it wasn't like this when they fought under Aaron Campbell Duke's command.

At that time, when the Priests chanted a spell, they just focused on loading and shooting, and in no time, the enemy's morale collapsed and fled, then the cavalry would charge to harvest… nothing like today when the Priests became mute, and a group of cavalry were pulled off their horses by skeletons, the Sheriff led the escape.

Oh right!

The Sheriff led the escape!

Thinking of this, old Abel felt a bit of comfort, when the Lord comes to blame, surely he will reprimand that disgraceful guy, not punish the honest ones like them.

Yet just as he had this thought, the door of the farmhouse suddenly was kicked open, startled him, almost knocking the furnace over.

A leather boot stepped inside the door, "Shield Dropper" Hephael waved his hand, signaled the two militiamen behind to step forward and pull up old Abel sitting on the ground.

Faced with this group of rude guys, Abel cried out in panic.

"What are you doing?! What crime did I commit? On what grounds are you arresting me—"

"What crime did you commit? You dare to ask!" Hephael said with a stern face, "Sheriff Adela just told you to withdraw, who allowed you to disband on your own?"

Old Abel looked at him dumbfounded, his face turned pale, mouth opened but couldn't speak.

Hephael gave a cold smile, without regard for old ties, said.

"You now have a chance to make amends, which is to quickly get your gear and gather at the square, we can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, huh, just wait to be hanged!"

"I'll go! I'll go right now!"

Old Abel was almost scared out of his mind, hurriedly picked the militia uniform he just took off back from the bucket, haphazardly put it on.

Hephael nodded toward the militiaman beside him, signaling the latter to toss a gun to him, then led the newly gathered strong ones to the next house.

And just when the militia in Silver Pine Town started regrouping again, a cavalry of 200 was already arriving at the northern part of Silver Pine Forest.

Gazing at the faintly visible fort halfway up Beifeng Mountain, Theresa riding on horseback slightly furrowed her brows, put down the monocular in her hand.

"Your Highness, it's just ahead."

Riding alongside Theresa, Erin Campbell's expression was solemn, her right hand tightly gripping the sword at her waist.

"I didn't expect the Demon King in the maze to build a city right under our noses..."

Theresa said in a deep voice.

"This is the local lord's dereliction of duty."

Erin Campbell nodded slightly, said with dignity.

"I know, but now isn't the time to hold them accountable, we must first rescue him from the demons' hands."

Saint Sis bestowed the "Light of Praise" upon the Campbell family to guard this land and the people living on it.

This concerns not only the honor of the Campbell family!

But also the duchy's dignity!

"Yes!"

Theresa swung the reins in her hand, leading the cavalry behind to form a formation, progressing towards Beifeng Mountain along the rugged slope.

While Erin and Luo Yan rode their horses in the middle of the troop.

The cavalry continued to move forward, and as they advanced further, the forest ahead became thicker, even with green vines winding on the low-hanging branches, not at all like winter.

Luo Yan certainly knew what that was.

Either Helen or Sherry's doing.

Apparently detecting a hint of anomaly from the surrounding scenery as well, Theresa's heart slightly tensed, the long sword held horizontally in her hand.

Simultaneously, a sharp whistle spread from the forest, countless skeleton soldiers and little demons surged in from all directions.

"Prepare to engage!"

Theresa shouted loudly, a blue light emitted from the long sword in her hand, the aura like a flood raging and surging, the momentum was no less than Xino Dragon.
