Chapter 55: Round-up

The final separation has finally arrived. On the expanded St. Guangda Square of the Glory Castle, the guards in three circles and three circles outside greeted Furstad and his Hammer Knights as if they were the heroes of the war. Yes, they are heroes, but they are too small compared to the Alliance fighters who are still fighting on the front lines.

"Brother, I can only send you here."

Amid the cheers, Ares walked up to Furstad and looked at him with a solemn gaze.

The High Lord didn't question it, and he nodded earnestly at Ares. Then he walked up and hugged Ares.

However, in the next second, the paladin made a move that shocked the audience. As he embraced Furstad, Ares drew his greatsword from his back, and the Ember Bringer stabbed him through the body when he was unprepared.

Around the square, there were bursts of screams. The hero of the Alliance, Ares, the messenger of the Light, became a murderer in an instant.

High Lord Furstad looked at Ares in amazement, his body slowly falling, blood spurting from his chest. The crowd panicked, women and children shouted in horror, while the men opened their mouths in surprise in disbelief.

The Hammer Dwarves roared in rage, and it was unbelievable that they had seen their High Lord slashed by Ares.

However, just as the Hammer Dwarves were about to pounce on them and take revenge on Ares, Sylvanas shouted, and she stood behind Ares, drawing her bow and arrowsβ€”

"Whoever dares to take another step forward will shoot my arrows!"

The eyes of the crowd were like erupting volcanic magma, and the guards even aimed their guns at the two men in the square at the same time.

However, Ares shouted.

"Brothers, see clearly, he is not the Grand Lord of Vorstad. It's a demon! ”

As he spoke, Ares stabbed the Ember Bringer harder into Furstad's body. I saw that the body of the fallen dwarf gradually evaporated, and the place where it was stabbed by the ash bringer gradually burned, turning into a cloud of black mist, and a huge demon gradually broke free from the corpse of Vorstad.

The reversal left everyone confused.

Soon, however, the well-trained guards of Fort Glory reversed the direction of their crossbow bolts and muzzles, aiming at the demon that had risen from the ground.

The Hammer Dwarves also rode their griffons in anger, ready to fight to the death with the demons that had taken over the bodies of their lords. The demon got up from the ground and immediately fought with Ares. The flaming demon's claws slashed at Ares, and the paladin raised his sword in response. The demon's claws and the Ashbringer slammed together. Then, the two quickly separated, and Ares stepped back, widening the distance between him and the demon.

Almost at the same time, around the Great Square of the Holy Light, muskets rang out, and countless bullets and arrows flew towards the demons in the center of the square.

The furious demon hurriedly raised his arms, trying to fend off the dense fire. But just now, Ares stabbed it in the body, making it impossible for it to concentrate on the battle. Its power is draining, and the Ember Bringer is no ordinary weapon. Being stabbed by it is equivalent to being slashed dozens of times by an ordinary weapon.

The demon roared and tried to kill Ares, it was this paladin who disrupted all his plans! Disguised as the Hammer Lord was only the first step in all his plans, but now, it was directly broken by Ares.

The demon and Ares soon scuffled again, with the Ember Bringer fending off the archdemon's repeated attacks, while Sylvanas and many of the Alliance's archers and musketeers also launched a siege on the rampaging demons.

The Hammer Dwarf flew through the air on a griffin, and angry hammers rained down from the sky like bombshells on the back and head of the demon.

The demon besieged on all sides roared, but it could not escape the encirclement. The walls of Fort Glory are full of Alliance soldiers, the ballista is already running, and the mage is casting a frost spell on the two-meter-long giant arrow, once the enchantment is completed, these heavy weapons will become a sharp weapon for demon slaying.

A triumphant smile tugged at the corner of Ares' mouth, everything was planned. The Ember Bringer roared, and Ares strode forward and launched a second attack on the demon. The scarred demon could not cope with the attack from the sky and the ground at the same time. The Demon's Hoof was slashed several times by Ares, and hot demonic blood was pouring out from the injured part. Corroded the stone slabs on the ground.

The crowd was already running in panic, and the large square, which had just been full of laborers, was now full of human infantry. Armed with spears and swords, they support the paladins against demons.

Eventually, a cold arrow was sent out from the ballista on the tower, striking the demon in the back. The Burning Archdemon suddenly fell to its knees with one hoof on the ground, one hoof still standing. However, Ares walked over, and coldly slashed with another sword, the blade grazing the demon's knees, crushing the last of its dignity. The enraged archdemon knelt before Ares.

"Stop shooting!"

At this time, Ares once again made a request that puzzled everyone.

"Why?"

Kuta, the Hammer Knight, hovered and landed in the air, asking in amazement.

"We must find Vorstad, and I believe that your High Lord is not dead."

Standing in front of the Burning Great Demon, Ares said calmly.

This sentence ignited the confidence of the Hammer Dwarves. The image of the Ember Messenger in their minds changed from a murderer to a savior in just a few minutes......

"Hmph, mortal, where does your confidence come from? That dwarf didn't die, so how did I get possessed of him? ”

The defeated demon finally spoke.

Although its power is already very weak, its ability to bewitch people has not diminished at all. Even after being torn off the mask of disguise, he still tried to bewitch more people. to achieve the purpose of its owner.

"I've seen demons more powerful than you, and they only need to see a person to disguise themselves as that person. So, your skills are not enough. Don't lie to me, you can't hide it from me. ”

Standing in front of the demon, Ares returned coldly. Of course, who Ares was talking about, he didn't know who he was present, it was the skeleton-level demon he encountered when he was on the Scarlet Crusade, Banazal.

The demon was shocked by Ares' self-confidence. He didn't know what kind of existence this human knight he was facing? It is impossible for anyone in the human world to know so much about demons......

"To imprison it, we need to torture it slowly."

In the demon's astonished gaze, Ares once again gave an icy command.
