After questioning and inquiry, everyone then learned that the hummingbird adventure group was located in the cemetery in the city a few minutes before the eyes of the abyss opened, and was planning to investigate a corpse theft case that occurred in that city when night fell, but what they were waiting for was not a gang of corpse robbers, but the disaster of the sudden change of the clouds, the impact of the epidemic falling to the ground, and the sudden attack of the two demon hunting spiders.

The Demon Hunter is not technically a demon, but it also comes from the chaotic and evil Bottomless Abyss Plane, and should not be fooled by the name of this monster - some people always confuse this constructed creature that serves the higher demons with another living monster called the "Bebilith", when in fact the Demon Hunter is a monster that hunts demons, and the real name of the Demon Hunter is "Retriever", which is closer to "Hound Dog".

Although most scholars believe that the body structure of the demon hunting spider is derived from the demon hunting spider.

They are indeed the "lackeys" of the High Demons, created through evil magic as loyal servants of the demonic nobles, in the form of giant spiders weighing more than three meters and weighing six thousand five hundred pounds, with several legs shaped into heavy cleavers at the ends, four bulbous eyes emitting vicious beams of light towering over the steel plate-like carapace, and those gazes from their eyes are accompanied by a spell-like effect like eye rays, and the unlucky ghosts who are hit will be burned, frosted, electrocuted, or the most miserable petrified according to themselves and their immunity resistance and luck.

These mindless constructs are often sent on evil missions by the High Demons, whether ordered to hunt a target or participate in a war as a fellow soldier, or in the demonic infighting against other abyssal lords.

Two of them descended on the members of the Hummingbird Regiment at the time, and their combined combat power was slightly higher than that of the Berserkers, and they quickly pushed Ekarila's team to the brink of annihilation. The Half-Elf Ranger's usual hand for drawing her bow and shooting arrows was severed by the forelimbs of one of the Demon Hunting Spiders during that battle, and the adventurers fought and retreated, barely destroying one of the Demon Hunting Spiders with almost all their might, while the rest died under the eye rays and the blade of the legs of the other.

If it weren't for the Paladin's squad led by the old knight Brian who happened to encounter them near the Praying Men Bridge and rescued the last remaining female rangers, this adventure group that still has some reputation in Twilight City would have ended up worse than the Thorn Adventure Group eight years ago.

Eventually, Ekarila lost the Ranger's arm, but was able to save her life.

Orichalcum has lost an important leader, and a small number of members remain. The hummingbird, on the other hand, has lost its team members and left behind a lonely leader.

In comparison, Sawyer Boots' Shaved Blade Adventure Team is probably the luckiest team among them. Although there is only one remnant of the current manpower of the Shaving Blade Regiment, most of their core members and the leader of the group are still alive, and there is still enough power to help the refugees in the city.

When the halfling thief leader heard the news, he rushed to the female ranger leader's side, expressed his sympathy for her plight, and encouraged her to be strong and say something about not giving up hope.

The little thief's words were meant by kindness, and Ekarila smiled wearily at his comfort, but the gloom in her eyes still persisted and deepened.

Gloleden stood aside and looked at the two regimental commanders, and said to himself, how could he not have experienced such a sad upheaval in the past?

Such a heavy despair is not a pain that can be easily healed with a single word. The ranger needs time, time to heal her wounds, and it can wear down her will, just as she used to sink in a street tavern in the ghetto for eight years - but now that she has taken revenge with the help of Urs, she has lost even the goal of revenge.

Two demon hunting spiders? Yes, listening to her narrative has been destroyed, but because of this, she has also lost the object of revenge to pour out her hatred, and with the arm that draws the bow, she can still plan a dimensional expedition against the bottomless abyss.

Poor woman...... In the face of disaster, we are all such small worms.

So may your heart be strong enough. The old thief sighed silently for her, and thought to himself.

At the same time, a new group of refugees were arranged by everyone to integrate into the refuge crowd in the Pious Square in an orderly manner.

The blade of the Cursed Blade slanted against the brick pavement of the plaza. Urs, armed with his pitch-black greatsword, looked up at the Abyssal Eye in the night sky, and found that the large, blood-red eyeball seemed to be a little dimmer than it had been at the beginning.

He said in his heart that this was a good sign. The Eye of the Abyss, without the support of the power of the artifact, lasts for a maximum of one night, and the frequency of summoning demons to the main material plane in the second half of the night will gradually slow down until it closes.

As for the artifact...... The black ore of the octahedron is still in the dimensional bag on his body.

Young people know about the Doomsday Cult, the cultists who believe in evil gods, and who are responsible for bringing the eternal darkness to the future. He looked at the people in the square, his eyes were a little blurry with his thoughts, and he secretly wondered if the other party was coming for him?

From his memories from his previous life, the High Priest of the Doomsday Cult has a spell-like ability that senses the location of an artifact. He didn't know if he was being targeted at the moment, so he finally had a little time to rest and plan his next step, whether he should stay with the refugees and priests in these temple districts and work together to survive the calamity of tonight?

Or take some risks and try to find Victor in the city, first handing over the "explosives pack" in his hand to the latter before anything else?

The mysterious mage city lord usually doesn't show up at all...... Also, Did Draco's battle with Barlow Flame go well? That Elven Demon Swordsman had awakened his soul talent, and theoretically he should be able to defeat a Barlow Flame Demon, but before the results were known, it was still worrying......

Complex thoughts rush to the brain. Urs shook his head, a little nerve-wracking, and sighed that a hero is really not something that normal people can be.

At this moment, an old paladin named Brian walked up to everyone: "Fellow adventurers, guards, ladies and gentlemen. ”

All of them, including the young men, turned their gazes to the old knight.

Brian held the sheathed sword in his right hand, and held his helmet on his waist with his left hand, revealing his face on top of armor, looking at the crowd, organizing the language and continuing: "Justice is above, I think I have to regret to announce one thing to you, that is, the area of this square is limited after all, it is already very crowded, and it can barely accommodate all of our current personnel......"

"You mean, we have to open a new shelter?" Eddie, the captain of the guard, stood not far away with the priest deputy head named Rundle at the Otrium, and heard the old knight talking.

Brian was silent for two seconds and nodded, "Yes." For the sake of the suffering people, but also for ourselves, it would be good for everyone to open a new shelter, so that we could search and rescue more people in the city, and in case the square was destroyed, there would be a new place to move. ”

"So what are we waiting for?" Sawyer Boots had pointy ears, and the halfling thief heard the conversation by the monument in the middle of the square, and immediately trotted over from the crowd, "A new shelter, good idea!" What do we do now? ”

"Thank you for your warmth and understanding, Mr. Halfling." Brian looked back at the little thief, "But of course we can't go out of the nest, after all, we also need a large number of people to maintain order here...... That's why I'd suggest that everyone get together and rebuild a makeshift elite squad. ”

"Very good, then this elite team is one of me!" Sawyer didn't think about it, he immediately patted his chest and agreed, and then turned his head to look at the side of the square, "Henk! ”

"You call me, Captain?" A male adventurer in armor over there responded and quickly turned around. If he still remembered, Urs recognized him as the same member of the Shaving Regiment who had been tasked with stomping on a prisoner when they were interrogating a robber in Logging Village.

His name is Henk, and he is Sawyer's deputy, a warrior.

"Henk, I'll leave here with the others, and you'll be in charge of the command of our regiment during this time." Sawyer looked up at his face and commanded, "Be on good terms with the priests here, they're all good people. If there's a new demon attacking here, you're going to lead everyone and kick those monsters in the ass, you know? ”

"As you wish, Captain." Henk nodded, clenching his fist into his armor.

After the halfling thief leader of the Shaving Blade Adventure Group volunteered, Eddie, the captain of the guards, and Randle, the deputy head of the priest of the Orichal, looked at each other, the former seemed to read the latter's thoughts, reached out and pressed his shoulder to persuade him, "You better stay, Deputy Head Rundle." ”

"You guessed I wanted to go?" Rundell blinked a little unexpectedly.

"But the Gate of Oyrope has not yet fallen, and your old comrades-in-arms need your leadership, and this is also your duty." Eddie shrugged and smiled, "And I'm a guard in Twilight, and my professional ethics drive me to defend it. ”

With that, he withdrew his hand and relayed his petition to the old knight Brian: "My name is Eddie, the captain of a patrol guard, and I am with you, and my skill as a warrior and the experience I have gained as a mercenary should enable me to help you." ”

"Okay, Captain Soya, Captain Eddie. Counting me, there are currently three of them. Brian nodded to the two of them and said that he would also act with the team, and then looked at the Thorn Squad, who had not yet made a statement, "What about you, Captain Urs?" This is a voluntary action, and I will not force you to join, the decision is up to you. ”

The aged Mithril Knight stared at the young man as the leader of the squad.

Urs met his gaze, and in his heart he didn't mind running any more, anyway, there was nothing wrong with doing what he could.

The problem is their own companions...... Are they ready?

The young man thought about it, and felt that the small corner of his clothes that was exposed outside the chain mail was suddenly stretched out and gently pulled again.

The only one who would attract his attention in this way was undoubtedly Thea.

He then glanced to his side, and the silver-haired wolf-eared girl quietly put her hand on his waist, and when she saw him look over, she whispered her thoughts: "We may try to help these people, Urs...... If you want to too. ”

The girl's trust is revealed to the young man through her docile tone. She was always so kind and a little simple, and such an offer was in line with her heart.

Koto's response to the old knight Brian's proposed action was naturally in favor of it. The dwarven warrior really wanted to be as direct as Sawyer did, but he still knew that he was a member of the Thorn Squad, and Urs or Gloridon, who often played the role of the team's spokesperson, was the one who was really suitable to speak on behalf of everyone in such a negotiation situation.

So he had to hold back his enthusiasm a little...... Well, well, the part that I couldn't hold back leaked out of my two wide-open eyes, like a child who wanted to hear a story staring at some "adult".

Stonefist and Raven remained silent, with the former nodding to their captain in silence to indicate that he was also inclined to participate in the opening of a new Vault, while the latter simply didn't want to say anything and planned to improvise as things unfolded.

Loyal and gregarious, Gloleden sometimes offered his opinion to Urs, and when he didn't speak, he would obey the group's arrangement.

Urs looked at them, his gaze on the faces of his companions...... Then make a decision, and tell the old knight, "We're part of this operation too, Mr. Brian." ”
