When the night began to cover the battlefield, there was a little calm on the front that had been roaring all day.

The surviving Hybot is in the trenches to maintain his weapons.

His own enchanted longsword had long since been lost in battle, and now he had a weapon that resembled a military shovel - a relic of his big comrade-in-arms, who had his neck broken by the monster's spine-covered hands while grappling with an Inferior Overseer.

Of course, Hybot then added a sword to the half-dead Demon Overseer, avenging his comrade-in-arms.

The vanguard and reconnaissance unit of the Salvation Army, that is, the unit called 'Mayflower', is all good hands, and even the heroes are accompanied by a full four people, although they were caught off guard by the Abyss Army, but after paying heavy casualties, they still managed to stabilize the battle line and were not directly chiseled by the enemy.

Of course, the abyssal army's chaotic attack is also one of the main reasons for holding on - even the demon king can't make those simple-minded monsters do it.

However, the heavy casualties clearly brought about a drop in morale, and the heavy atmosphere in the trenches was one of the most noticeable manifestations.

"Have we been abandoned by Stein?" A teenager sitting in the corner, huddled on his knees, suddenly broke the silence and spoke.

Highbot knew him, and the kid was a recruit, but because of his good grades in the training camp, he was exceptionally assigned to their Mayflower unit.

It's just that this actual battle seems to have left a lot of psychological shadows on this little ghost.

Naturally, Highbot didn't try to find the area of the other party's psychological shadow, he just poked his head out and looked at the dark sky, feeling that something seemed to be looking at the ground, and then retracted into the trench: "Why do you say that?" ”

"We held out all day! But Stein didn't even send a single reinforcement! ”

The recruit yelled, as if trying to vent his fear and anger with this act: "They must have given up on this front, and we are absolutely just an outcast by them to delay time!" ”

"From the moment I joined the army. You should be prepared to be treated as an outcast. ”

At this time, the last man in the trenches spoke.

He was missing a hand, and the wound was bandaged in a dirty military uniform, which stopped the bleeding but also increased the chance of infection. The chaplains were almost dead, and the initial scuffle left not many people left them with enough power to protect the priests who were not fighting enough on their own. This also led to the subsequent death of a large number of soldiers from their wounds because they could not be treated.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is what that person has in his other hand.

It was a knight's spear that was so long that it occupied almost half of the trench, and although it was covered in heavy blood, the elven ornaments and glittering runes on it still gave people an elegant and chic feeling.

This is a heroic artifact, and its owner is naturally a hero.

"It's different!" The recruit kid stiffened his neck, without the admiration for the hero in the past, just stared at the other party deadly: "Your weapon can allow you to break through the encirclement of the Abyss Army lightly, so you can say such things!" ”

"I'm not going to run away." The hero said in a deep voice. Without the slightest hesitation or confusion, he looked the recruit in the eye and repeated again: "I will never leave my comrades and run away." ”

The recruit, whose momentum had been completely suppressed, suddenly felt speechless.

"Hey, it's not polite to interrupt your conversation, but I always think there's something strange about the sky outside."

Hybot, who poked his head out of the trench again and then shrank back, interrupted the standoff between the two men.

"What's wrong?"

Knowing that Highbot was one of the first to notice the Abyssal Army's raid, the hero seemed to take his discovery seriously.

"It's too dark."

As soon as Hybot finished speaking, the recruit kid laughed.

"It's night. It's dark at night, and that's something children know. He grinned, thinking it was a joke that Highbot was using to liven up the atmosphere.

But apparently the hero thinks not so much: "What does this mean?" ”

"There is no moon today. Not a single one. But there are no stars either...... I can't even see the clouds! If you have to say, I think we're like ......" Highbot paused, as if searching for the right language: "It's like being locked in an upside-down iron pot!" ”

"I see."

The hero nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Because I am a magic swordsman, I am not very familiar with magic and the spell-like abilities of abyssal monsters. So before I set out, my dear friend, a great magician named Aesop, told me something to be aware of. ”

As he spoke, he also followed the movements of Highbot just now, poked his head out of the trench, and looked at the bleak sky. Determined their own judgment.

"It seems to be the current situation...... If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the Mayflower forces are now shrouded in an enchantment called the 'Dark Canopy'. ”

"What is this, what is the purpose of the shady enchantment? Is it possible to achieve only to make the sky darker? The recruit boy asked curiously, his age-appropriate curiosity alleviating to his fear of war.

"Of course not, in addition to increasing the power of shadow magic and certain dark spells, the dark canopy is also able to block out some magic fluctuations - as far as I know, all long-range communication spells communicate through guò magic fluctuations."

After a pause, his face became a little grim: "In other words, it is very likely that until now, Stein has not been able to obtain information that we have been attacked by the Abyss Army!" ”

As he spoke, the hero glanced around at the two people around him.

"I think we're going to have to send someone to deliver a letter to Stein."

The whole trench fell silent.

Sudden screams and angry roars shattered the precious silence of the night, causing the entire front to boil again.

A gong-like sound was also heard, along with warnings mixed with local dialects.

"What's going on?" The recruit picked up the long knife that had been curled in his hand, and his body trembled slightly.

"Someone has been attacked by the Ghostface, and the Abyss Army's attack has begun again."

Hybot listened to the warning for a moment before speaking to the other two.

"There's no time to hesitate, you two try to break through backwards, I'll explain it to the commander of Mayflower! Ladies and gentlemen, the future of mankind depends on you! The hero also pulled up his knight's spear. Hori Ryu King said solemnly to the two comrades-in-arms who were completely different. (To be continued......)
