"Kill!"

Edward clutched the short sword in his hand, and rushed towards the fire demon with the broken spear stuck in his body. Even though he was wearing heavy overcoat armor, his speed was still so fast.

"Whoa!"

Howling angrily, the Firedemon didn't care what kind of heir Edward was of the Unicorn Principality, it only knew that the little man in front of it had just stabbed it hard, making it feel very uncomfortable. Enraged, the Firedemon raised his flaming greatsword and slashed at Edward.

With a staggered step, Edward sideways dodged the fire demon's slash, and then lunged, the short sword in his hand slashing hard into the fire demon's thigh.

At this moment, Edward suddenly poured his own fighting qi into the short sword, and the pale red fighting qi quickly formed a thin qi blade on the tip of the sword, which looked as if the short sword had suddenly become longer.

With this qi blade, Edward easily cut a large wound on the fire demon's leg, causing the fire demon to let out a miserable scream again.

"Whew......"

Supporting his body with a flaming greatsword, the Firefiend roared at Edward. Hearing the roar of the tallest fire demon, the three nearby fire demons immediately rushed towards Edward.

Seeing that Edward was about to be surrounded by the fire demons, the ground dragoons, who had been a little hesitant, finally made up their minds, and for the first time, they disobeyed Edward's orders and charged at the fire demons who surrounded Edward.

"For the unicorn principality!"

The earth-walking dragoons shouted in unison, and then rushed towards the tall fire demons in unison. Under the spurt of the cavalry spear and the collision of the earth-walking dragons, the outermost fire demons were directly knocked down by the earth-walking dragoons. But at the same time as defeating the outermost fire demons. The charge of the earthly dragoons was also intercepted by the rest of the fire demons, and the two sides quickly fell into a scuffle.

"Bastard! You're dying in vain! Why don't you listen to my orders? Edward, who heard the screams of the dragoons, was furious.

For the cavalry. Speed is life. And the earthly dragoons are the heavy cavalry of the heavy cavalry, so naturally they must also abide by this iron rule. Increasing their speed to the highest level, the Dragoons were naturally unstoppable. However, the current earth-walking dragoons were originally wounded, and after a surprise attack around the rear and a full-strength charge, both the earth-walking dragons and the cavalry were about to reach their limits.

In this case, the sudden appearance of the fire demons directly disrupted the charging rhythm of the earth-walking dragoons, and the earth-walking dragons who suddenly changed the direction of the charge were already a little unbearable. Otherwise, with the strength of the "little black" under Edward's seat, it would be impossible to be knocked down by a ninth-order fire demon with a single blow.

The reason why Xiao Hei who fell to the ground couldn't stand up was not because the injury was too serious, but because Xiao Hei's physical strength was a little overdrawn. It's so tired that you can't stand up!

It was with this in mind that Edward would have ordered the Dragoons to retreat. Unable to increase their speed, even if they were able to defeat the Firedemons, the losses would be too great for Edward to be distressed.

However, when Edward was trapped by the Firedemons, how could the Ground Dragoons, who were the Guards, leave their heroic generals behind. Even though they knew that this charge would likely kill them, the Terraching Dragoons, led by Edward's guards, launched a desperate charge against the Firedemons.

But that's the last thing Edward wants!

"I command you! Remove...... Yes! ”

Distracted, Edward was immediately struck by a flame greatsword of the Fire Demon, and under the terrifying power of the Fire Demon, Edward was once again sent flying.

However, Edward, who was in mid-air and still spitting blood in his mouth, gritted his teeth and finished the order: "Withdraw...... Withdraw! The whole army retreats! ”

The proof of heroism immediately spread Edward's order to the ears of the Dragoons, although they were unwilling. However, under the restrictions of the Hero's Certificate and the Pact of Loyalty, the Groundwalker Dragoons quickly pulled back.

"Your Highness! We can't ......."

Despite retreating involuntarily, the dragoons barely resisted the constraints of the Hero's Testament and the Pact of Loyalty, and shouted at Edward.

"Shut up!" Listen to the voice. Edward, who had already fallen to the ground, knew that it was one of his guards, and he immediately interrupted the other party, "There are no you draggers! The fire demons can't stop me! Don't get out of here yet! ”

“…… Ha? The shouting Dragoons were stunned.

"That's you! Norton! You idiot always cheating me at critical moments! While dodging the fire demon's slash. Edward shouted, "Honestly bring me the troops!" Did you hear that? ”

"Yes! Your Highness! The guard named Norton subconsciously replied in a loud voice. Then he reacted, "But what should you do, Your Highness?" ”

"How many times do you want me to say it? No one is here. I'll be able to run away in no time! Swinging his sword again and slashing the leg of a fire demon, Edward yelled in a bit of annoyance, "Get out! Give me an honest fuck off! ”

Norton's whole face wrinkled, obviously reluctant to do so, but he finally obediently obeyed the order: "I heard the order!" Groundwalking dragoons! Let's withdraw! ”

The earthly dragoons all silently obeyed the order, and neatly turned around and headed towards the Holy Rain City.

"Really...... Woo. ”

Edward breathed a sigh of relief as the groundwalking dragoons retreated, and then he was whipped away by a flame whip from the Fire Demon.

Edward, who was spilled with blood in the sky, coincidentally landed next to Xiao Hei, the dragon on the ground, looking at Xiao Hei who was panting, and Edward, who spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, smiled bitterly: "Yo! Blackie! Looks like I'm going to die with you. ”

Edward glanced at Edward very humanely, Xiao Hei, who obviously had a high concentration of dragon blood, stretched out his neck, gently grabbed Edward's shoulder armor and dragged it to his side, and then twisted his body to block Edward's body.

“…… Scold. It was really nice to pick you up from the prairie back then. "Let the little black fiddle. Edward stroked Blackie's head and smiled.

Knocked away by the Fire Demon several times in a row. Even with the protection of heavy armor, Edward was still injured and was now unable to escape.

Xiao Hei still gave Edward a blank look, and then one person and one wurm quietly watched as the fire demons approached them.

Exhausted, Edward didn't notice that much of the blood he had spurted had been stained on the dagger he held tightly in his right hand. The short sword that came into contact with the blood emitted a faint red light, and the blood near the short sword quickly gathered on the short sword, and then submerged into the sword body.

As if he had absorbed enough blood, the red light on the short sword quickly converged, and a faint blood-colored rune appeared from the sword. The entire dagger began to twist and deform.

At this moment, the large pit where many fire demons had sprung out suddenly shook, and a stream of magma spurted out of it!

Noticing this abnormal movement, the fire demon who still had a broken spear in his body suddenly raised his head and howled, and the three fire demons who had already come to Edward's body suddenly stopped, quickly turned around and rushed towards the big pit.

In addition to the fire demons who were originally guarding around the big pit, the fire demons who were originally driving away other low-level demons and those who were trying to pursue the earthly dragoons also stopped their original movements and gathered around the big pit instead.

"Looks ...... These fire demons seem to be guarding the pit? Seeing this, Edward immediately frowned.

"Firedemon...... Magma...... Guard? A few words were strung together. Edward's face suddenly turned blue with a flash of inspiration in his mind, "It's a big trouble!" There are high-level fire demons preparing to get here through this lava tunnel! ”

Although the Fire Demon does not have the teleportation ability of the Great Devils, it is able to move extremely fast and long distances through the lava underground. The only downside is that the Firedemons aren't very good at digging holes. So there is no way to sneak up on the enemy with this move.

Probably sensing that a crisis was coming, Xiao Hei took a big breath and slowly stood up. And Edward, who was leaning on Xiao Hei, also stood up.

"Roar!"

Once he had gained a foothold, Blackie yelled at Edward. But look at the charred wound between Xiao Hei's chest and abdomen. Edward shook his head: "Your injuries are not light, I can just run by myself." ”

Edward gave him a blank look. Blackie jerked his head up and grabbed Edward's shoulder armor, then flung it onto his back. The sudden increase in weight made Blackie's body sink, but after taking two sharp breaths, Blackie took a step and ran away with his back to the fire demons.

Quickly adjusting his position, Edward sighed and ripped off his helmet.

It was at this time that Edward noticed that his short sword had undergone a strange change.

The original ordinary short sword has completely changed at this moment, the hilt is a strange black and red, and there are several bony protrusions similar to horns at the end; The gauntlet turned into a blood-red red dragon's head, and from the open dragon's mouth stretched out a sword as bright as a flame; There were many blood-colored runes engraved on the sword, and Edward, who was not proficient in magic, could not understand the meaning of the runes, but he could feel the terrifying power contained in the short sword.

What's even more bizarre is that Edward always felt the dagger ...... Seems to be alive!

"Is this really my lucky dagger? How did it become like this? Edward frowned, trying to throw away the sword, but was a little depressed to find that the short sword seemed to have been combined with his gauntlet, and he couldn't take it off at all!

Before Edward could think carefully about what to do with this strange sword, the crater that had already gushed out a lot of magma shook violently, and a large stream of magma erupted violently!

Just like the scene of a volcanic eruption, the magma erupts continuously, directly forming a huge lava flow. Then, a claw jerked out of the magma, and then a Fire Demon Lord poked its head out of the body that was several times larger than ordinary Fire Demons!

"Sword ...... Where is it...... Village! ”

The Fire Demon Lord said slowly, and then turned his head sharply to look at Edward!

Subconsciously, Edward looked down at the strange sword that was "sticking" to his right hand: his intuition told him that the Fire Demon Lord's main thing was this strange sword.

"Bastard! Why didn't you come earlier? Edward roared, "Now that this sword is with my hand, I can't cut off my own hand and give it to you!" ”

Blackie rolled his eyes, then quickened his pace.

"Put ...... Sword...... Reclaim ...... Come! ”

It seemed that they hadn't spoken for a long time, and the pace of the Fire Demon Lord's speech was very slow, but this did not prevent the Fire Demon Lords from listening to the Fire Demon Lord's orders clearly.

After receiving the order of the Fire Demon Lord, the Fire Demon raised their heads neatly and spewed out a pillar of fire, and then ...... in the direction of Edward. Ran over.

Despite their wings, the Firedemons can't fly, so they can only run slowly on the ground.

But the Fire Demons were tall after all, and the tallest one was even close to five meters tall. Therefore, although the speed of the fire demons' steps was extremely slow, with that extremely large step, the overall movement speed was not slow.

Seeing that the fire demons were all chasing after him with murderous aura, Edward's back was suddenly wet with cold sweat: "Damn! No wonder the strength of these fire demons is so strong, it turns out that these guys are all the guards of the fire demon lord! ”

As the guards of the legendary Fire Demon Lords, these Fire Demons are obviously much stronger than their kind, so they can fight evenly with the Earthwalking Dragoons under Edward's command.

And without any guards around him, but being chased by a large group of ninth-order flame demons, Edwardton felt a lot of pressure.

But before Edward could figure out any way, a group of low-level demon troops stood in front of him and Xiao Hei!

If it was Xiao Hei who was in good shape, it would not be a problem at all to break out of the encirclement of these demon troops. But Xiao Hei, who is injured and whose physical strength is close to the limit, has now begun to gasp. Not to mention breaking through, I'm afraid self-protection is a problem!

"Damn the demons! Good dogs don't get in the way! Don't get out of the way yet! Edward yelled at the Cerberus at the front, ready to use his fighting skills to fight his way. Although there is not much of his fighting spirit left, Edward does not intend to admit it in front of the demons!

But to Edward's surprise, in the midst of his scolding, the Cerberus actually rolled on the ground obediently!

Subconsciously, Edward shouted at the horned demons and demon babies who were huddled together, "You guys get out of here too!" ”

As a result, the horned demons and demon babies also obediently rolled around on the ground, and collided with the Cerberus.

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Edward's voice trembled and pointed to the fire demons behind him and said to the demons in front of him: "Go, stop those fire demons for me!" ”

"Quack!"

Without any hesitation, the Demon Babies, Horned Demons, and Cerberus who were blocking the way rushed directly to those powerful Fire Demons, desperately blocking the front of the Fire Demons.

Retracting his right hand, looking at the strange sword that "grows" in his hand, Edward said in a somewhat strange tone: "I'll go, I've hit the jackpot." ”

"This thing is a harnessing sword!" (To be continued.) )
