Ayton and the others were already checking their outfits and preparing to continue their departure, and Mir saw Tumik walking back.

"It's been a long time~ Look, we're all ready to save you. Mill said as he deliberately tightened the scabbard that hung tightly around his waist.

“...... I'm sorry. Tumik seemed to be thinking about something, and Mir's words brought him back to his senses.

"Okay, Karn is here, they didn't embarrass you, did they?" Ayton asked, looking at Tumick as he seemed a little distracted.

"Captain Rex seems to be a decent officer, and I think Tumik got the answer he wanted. Kakru said with a smile.

"Here you go. With a smile, Ewen stepped forward and handed him Tumik's bag.

"Thank you...... I just wanted to ask if Dubian Village had found it, but it still didn't seem to have found anything. Tumik said as he took the bag and slung it on his back, not telling anyone what the conversation with Karn was actually about.

"Don't worry, you'll find it, Dusk Village is a prosperous place even though it's called a village, and many people won't give up looking for it, we're ......" Yiwen was talking when she suddenly stopped. "There's a magic gathering!, be careful around!" she quickly picked up the wooden staff that was still on the ground, and then hung a small metal cage hanging from her waist to the top of the wooden staff, and a spar in the cage was emitting a faint blue light.

"You all feel it?" said Ayton, who had quickly pulled up a flis shield that had been stuck on the ground as a backrest to block it, his eyes fixed on his surroundings. This shield is not as simple as it seems, it is both a defensive barrier and an offensive weapon, Ayton's strong size can only be blocked by most of his body, but to ordinary people, the volume of this shield is more like a huge full-body shield. The tip of the shield was shallow in the ground, and the exposed edge shone with the cold light of a blade under the light of the campfire, and Ayton used his entire forearm against the shield, always defending against attacks from the front, and sticking one end of the shield into the ground was also for this. The other hand grabbed a handle slightly above the back of the shield, ready to pull the shield up at any time to attack, in addition to the thick blade at the tip of the shield also has a stubby barrel on the back, which can shoot out pointed metal stakes, and the huge power can only be controlled by Ayton's size and strength.

"I don't know the exact location, but I feel it. Tumik drew his saber and spun the hilt, and with the sound of metal slicing, a stabbing blade stretched out between the black blades of the short sword, turning into a strange stabbing sword with a wide blade in half.

"What's going on? don't scare me! I'll promise now that I'm going to sleep without snoring?" Mir drew his sword, then pulled out a round drum from his waist and placed it at the end of the blade. This is not a simple short sword, but a long-range attack weapon commonly used by the Millai foresters today, with a single blade and a long-barreled musket on the other side, which can be used for both close combat and long-range precision shooting.

"Ayton, I wonder if Captain Rex noticed it and needs to warn them?" Tumik asked.

Ayton turned his head to look in the direction of the convoy, a transporter was blocked from his view due to the angle of parking, and he couldn't be sure what was going on there, but he couldn't hear the laughter of the people before. "Let's not act rashly. I haven't felt anything approaching us, I don't know if it's a human or a beast, the fire is too weak to see farther away......" Ayton was turning his head, his eyes still vigilantly looking around.

"I'm going to light up the surroundings, I should be able to get the attention of Captain Rex, don't look back and take a closer look at the situation!" it was Ewen who spoke, raising her wooden staff in the air and chanting a spell in a whisper, while Kakru stood in front of her with the same weapon as Mir.

A light emanated from the top of the staff to illuminate the sight of the group, and everyone immediately looked around - nothing but shadows. But what is not normal is the shadow, everyone because of the light and cast on the ground after the shadow extended not far away, there is no difference because of the different body size, there is no reflection, there is no other shadow under the feet of those black shadows, just like a humanoid black hole quietly standing there.

Seeing the target in front of him, Ayton decided to preemptively raise his shield and crash directly into it, which was close for his size. But there was no unexpected impact, Ayton and the shield went straight through the black shadow, but he didn't stop but directly supported the ground with one foot, turned around and picked up the big shield and smashed it towards the position where the black shadow was, and the shield passed through the shadow and plunged into the ground. Ayton froze for a moment, if it weren't for the fact that the shadow had been standing there without moving, he felt like he was completely fighting the air, and suddenly he saw that the shadow seemed to look back at him and raised his fist to strike. The situation was too strange for Ayton to dodge the punch, then grabbed the diagonal shield and pulled it out, jumping back into the group to resume his previous defensive stance. The others were still on the lookout for the dark shadow in front of them, and when they found that the shadow seemed to have a consciousness of its own, they all turned their heads to look at Ayton's battle just now, and then turned back and continued to stand there facing everyone after the battle.

"What is this...... Mir asked, but no one answered him.

"My attack doesn't seem to have any effect on it, just now I noticed that it's not just an attack, the sand and gravel that splashed through it also passed through it, it doesn't seem to be an entity, but just now it made an attack on me...... Have you ever seen anything like this, Kakru?" Karn asked.

"I can sense some kind of flow of magic, maybe the magic attack will work on them, but if I want to do it, I need to disarm the light first. "It's Ewen who speaks.

"Maybe it's better for us to try to get closer to Rex," Mir suggested.

Tumik glanced at it quickly and said, "We've made such a big commotion here, but Captain Rex hasn't reacted, it's not right. ”

"It's not far, lean over there, I'm in front, Mir and Kakru are optimistic about Ewen, Tumik, your high......" Ayton whispered. "Let's go!" Ayton spotted the direction between the shadows leading to the brigade, raised his shield and rushed forward, the others following in their assigned positions. But at the end, Tumik found that the shadows immediately followed in the same formation, always keeping a distance from the crowd.

Turning the transport vehicle that blocked the view, Ayton who rushed to the front gasped - the Royal Guards in the camp had long since fallen in a pool of blood, all of them had their swords stuck in their chests or backs, there was no sign of a battle on the scene, and their captain Karn Rex was stabbing his own saber into the adjutant's chest, the young girl watched without any resistance as her respected captain plunged his sword into his chest, and then at the moment of collapse, Karn pulled the saber from her waist.

"Karn, what are you doing!" Ayton Gu yelled and rushed forward.

"Wait! he has the magic of a shadow!" Ivan suddenly felt something strange about Karn.

"What!?" Ayton was distracted by Ewen's words, but the man had rushed in front of Karn.

Karn, who had been standing with his lieutenant's saber in hand, suddenly turned in an unnatural position, then bypassed Ayton and rushed back towards the others. Ayton turned around but didn't catch Karn, who was too fast, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!" But it was too late, Karn rushed to Ewen in the middle of the group, Kakru and Mir were unable to react because of Ayton's large body blocking their vision, and when their swords stabbed into Karn's body and arms, Karn had already plunged the sword in his hand into Ewen's heart.

"Ewen!"

"Damn!"

Kakru and Mir pulled the trigger on the hilt of their swords at the same time, and the force of the bullet sent Karn flying straight away. Kakru throws away his weapon and hugs Ewen as she is about to fall. Yiwen wanted to say something but only coughed up a mouthful of blood, she looked at the tearful Kakru, pointed at the wooden staff that had fallen to the ground with the last of her strength, and the light was gradually fading, and then slowly closed her eyes.

The three of them looked at Kakru who was kneeling and trembling in his arms and had no time to comfort him, for there was more pressing business ahead of them, and as the light created by Ewen faded away, they found more shadows rising from the dead guards who had fallen to the ground, and were gradually surrounding them.
