The sky is a dead blackness.

If you look at it from here, you can't see the stars, and the only thing that glows in the sky is the dim last quarter moon.

There was no doubt that the place where the fire was at the moment was in the castle shrouded in the abyss.

Unlike the cautious battle plan originally planned, Agni and the warriors around him stood in the atrium in the open.

Without the slightest idea of hiding their tracks, the main force of the Black Tulip Brigade formed a battle formation, with the attackers in front and the shield warriors and marksmen standing together, advancing along the road in front of the main gate of the ancient castle.

They walked over the stinking fountain and up the steps of the crumbling weedy pavement, and stood in front of the main entrance of the castle.

Unlike the last time, when every step forward was a centimeter of black blood, this journey was not attacked at all, it was like an outing.

"Sure enough, it went so smoothly...... The more this happens, the weirder it feels. Agni spoke.

He remembered how awkward his first battle was.

"Anyway, let's fight first!" This is a statement in line with Erde's character, and as the battlefield commander of the Black Tulip Brigade, he is a complete pragmatist.

After going live today, Agni expected to receive bad news, such as that the Abyssal Soul and the Gargoyle King were still in the castle, or that there was another Abyss army waiting for the Black Tulip Brigade to throw themselves into the trap or something.

However, what I didn't expect was that the news obtained by the scouts after repeated reconnaissance was not the case at all.

The monsters in the courtyard have completely disappeared, and the Abyss army is nowhere to be seen. Not only that, but even the monsters inside the castle are significantly less, and no trace of the demon can be found using detection props.

By all indications, the souls of the abyss have left this place.

That's pretty good news.

However, the movements of the Gargoyle King have never been detected, and it is too easy for this type of high-level demon to hide himself.

In view of this situation, Julien also took the opportunity to change the battle plan: divide the Black Tulip Brigade into two, the main force is led by Ode, and attract the attention of the monsters inside the castle from a frontal attack. The mongoose team, led by Julien himself, entered the castle along the old path of the prison tower, and retreated as soon as they reached their goal.

In this way, it doesn't matter if the Gargoyle King is still in the castle, as long as the retreat is timely, it is acceptable to pay a certain number of casualties as a price.

As long as the goal is achieved, no matter how much loss you suffer, you can make up for it in the future.

Agni, Minter, and Amelia naturally need to be in the main team.

The eight squads led by Ode have a total of more than 100 people, and this force can be said to be the top combat group in the player base. After all, it's not so easy for players to learn to work together under unified commands.

Agni looked at the time, then said, "It's time to agree, let's get started!" ”

Odo nodded, then began directing the players to organize their formations and check their equipment.

Several shield warriors began to step forward, ready to push the door. Agni tightened his grip on the Red Crystal Slash Sword and stood behind the shield warriors with many strong attackers.

Relative to other classes, the number of Attackers is always the largest.

Minter and the Marksmen and Sharpshooters were in the rear as usual to prepare fire support, but unlike usual, there was an Amelia in the crowd, and for the first time in a battle of this magnitude, the mage class appeared for the first time, and everyone was curious about what would happen.

"Push the door!" Ode finally gave the order to attack.

The rusty gate creaked unpleasantly, and the fire rushed through the open crack first!

"Sky Sword: Awakening"!

A white phantom suddenly appeared around the flames, and with a divine aura, he leaped high, and then fell straight down like a god of war—

"Falling Blow"!

"Boom !!" A violent crash sounded, and the ground cracked like a spider's web in the center of the flames, and the sudden shockwave swept the dense monsters in the hall one after another, and fell to the ground with a wail.

The monsters that had been awakened from their sleep opened their eyes one after another, and countless lights glowing with dark red light lit up, looking at this uninvited guest with bad intentions.

There are quite a lot of monsters inhabiting the hall, and the strength of individuals is not strong, but with this number, it is not easy to deal with.

"Gollum ......" a low roar rang out, as if the next moment the flames were about to be swallowed up by the monsters.

However, Agni was not alone in facing so many monsters, he was followed by dozens of strong attackers with considerable combat power.

"Assault!" Ode ordered.

"Ho~ah!" The attackers rushed in from the open gate, colliding with the monsters like a tide, and countless long swords shining with faint holy light tore through the bodies of those low-level monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, completely clearing the space in the doorway.

The battle between the player and the monster begins.

……

The mongoose team had been waiting on the old canal for a long time, and although they couldn't hear the sound of battle coming from the main entrance, they were still able to send text messages within the boundaries of the castle.

"Let's get moving!" Julien, who received the news, ordered.

Julien led the strongest squad of the Black Tulip Brigade, and Scout Captain Zorro led a small group of scouts to follow.

The group cautiously followed the path they had taken last time, which was still a bit unsettling for the mongooses, who had been wiped out here last time.

However, for the top combat power among these players, this level of uneasiness cannot shake their will to fight.

The familiar road, coupled with the absence of monsters, the mongoose team came to the banquet hall where the group was wiped out last time.

The broken equipment was scattered on the ground like garbage, and the traces of the last battle could still be seen, after all, the demons and monsters could not have had the heart to clean up the battlefield. Looking at this mess, the hellish scene seems to be still vivid.

"Commander, ...... here," Zorro said, "Isn't it better to clean up?" ”

Julien understood what he meant, all of their equipment was lost here last time, and although most of them were destroyed, some of them were still usable. Maybe they can take some time to recoup some losses.

Julien, however, shook his head and rejected the offer.

"We can't stay here for long, we need to get there as soon as possible and then leave." Julien said, "The stuff here...... If you have a particularly valuable item that you can carry with you, you can pick it up, and the weapons and armor will affect the load, so you can leave them alone. ”

You know, this is the equipment that arms the entire elite squad, and even if only half of it can be recycled, it is worth nearly 100,000 gold Echo.

This huge wealth, Julien said to give up, and gave up.

The players glanced at each other, then dispersed and moved silently, occasionally picking up some props, but no one disobeyed the order to pick up their former equipment.

Soon, the mongoose team left the area and walked along the passage to a territory they had never been before.

Orders are forbidden, like armies.
