The little devil seemed to be able to see through the thick fog, and his eyes, which glowed faintly red, swept in the direction from which the sound came. Levi lay on the ground, only to feel that his body couldn't help but feel cold, his teeth couldn't help but knock on each other, he stuffed his sleeve into his mouth and bit it, his eyes fixed on the movements of the little devil.

Perhaps this little devil did not expect that a human would dare to touch this abandoned outpost, and after checking the spot, he actually sat back on the rock, and yawned with his hand over his mouth.

Levi wiped the cold sweat from his head, cautiously retreated to a place where he could not see the Black River outpost, and let out a sigh of relief.

The little devil's combat power was a little unexpected to him, and the idea of using the method of cannibalization to gradually eliminate the demon race was a bit abrupt. Even a small demon is an opponent with equal combat power to Levi, and although a surprise attack can gain the upper hand in battle, Levi doesn't think that the demons occupying the Black River outpost are so sluggish that they can't even detect the sentry fighting.

There are not many enemies, as long as there are more than two little demons at the same time, Levi will only have a chance to win by luck, if three little demons appear at the same time, Levi may not even have a chance to escape.

Is it going to leave so gloomily? Levi was really a little unwilling, but his entanglement didn't last long, and the old voice sounded in his ears at the right time.

"Hehe, little one, have you been in trouble so soon, it seems that your situation is really not good, so let's have a reward that I can pay you in advance as a gift for your appointment as Lord of the Heart of the Castle." ”

It was like a barbecue from the sky, and the young midshipman's heart was filled with gratitude for the old magician, Mr. Dich, and he hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Dic, may I ask what this reward is?"

"Didn't you succeed in recruiting a small squad of spearmen yesterday, and this gift I gave you is to forcibly send them to your side, so that you can lead them in battle. ”

As soon as the old magician's words fell, a huge blue and white ball of light immediately appeared in front of Levi's eyes, followed by the sonorous sound of steel, and a team of big men in blue and white coats walked out of the ball of light and lined up in a neat row in front of Levi.

Ever since discovering the Heart of the Castle, Levi had imagined many times what warriors he could summon. According to the memories in the dream, the pikemen, as the most basic class of troops in the human camp, are quite ordinary in combat effectiveness. According to Levi's idea, as long as the combat effectiveness of the pikemen can compete with the militia under the viscount, it is a very satisfactory performance, but now Levi finds that this idea is obviously an insult to these elite warriors.

As the first class summoned in the heart of the castle, the pikemen possess a formidable physique and excellent equipment. Each pikeman was armed with an elaborate spear, the sharp steel head reflecting the dim sunlight and a murderous aura that flickered with cold light, and the thick blue and white coat was their uniform equipment, reinforced with metal pieces at key points, and a majestic griffin emblem on his chest, which looked much more handsome than Levi's own shabby leather armor.

In addition, the pikemen wore helmets, made of steel that not only protected their heads, but even covered a small half of their faces, revealing only their stiff noses and chins from beneath the lowered brims.

"These ...... Is it a real human?" Levi muttered involuntarily, and the old magician's old voice gave him an affirmative answer.

"Real humans? Of course not, there is only one kind of life created in the heart of the castle, and that is alchemical life. You can think of them as absolutely loyal subordinates, and they will not back down even when the danger of death comes. Alright, now that the gift for you has been delivered, the next battle will depend on your performance, little one, good luck. ”

The old magician's voice fell silent, and Levi called in his heart a few more times, but received no response at all.

"Looks like this is a test for me by Mr. Dich......," Levi thought, turning his attention back to the squad of pikemen standing in front of him.

During the period of living in the Viscount's Castle, Levi had seen many warriors who were not weak, but he found that compared with these pikemen, even the most elite warriors under Viscount Ryan were inferior in momentum, and only knights with vindictive spirit could have the upper hand.

"Looks pretty powerful, I don't know what the real combat power is?" Levi thought, casting his probing skills on one of the pikemen.

Name: Pikeman

Race: Human

Health: 40

Degree of Danger: Relatively dangerous

Relationship: Loyalty

Levi rubbed his eyes, yes, the column that marked the combat effectiveness of the pikemen did have the word "more dangerous" written on it, and from the life of the pikemen, the strength of these fighters definitely exceeded Levi's imagination at the beginning.

"This is my soldier, my strength!" Levi felt his heart full of courage, he looked in the direction of the Black River outpost, his chest straightened, and his mind was full of images of leading these elite soldiers to rush over and crush the little demons to pieces.

Then he calmed down, and the results of the battle in which Knight Ston died reminded him that if he rushed over so recklessly, once there were great demons stationed in the Black River outpost, or the number of demon troops was large, the result must be very tragic. If he wants to survive in this world infested with demons, a few elite soldiers are not enough to become a solid barrier for him.

"Be calm, the pikemen's individual combat power surpasses that of the little devil, and as long as you make use of these combat power, you will definitely be able to achieve excellent results. Now the first thing I have to do is how to knock out that little demon sentry without alerting the enemies at the outpost. Levi said to himself, and then he cautiously looked up again, until the figure of the little demon sentry appeared in his field of vision.

Due to boredom, this little devil has begun to rest half-leaning on the stone, and his two round eyes are squinted, and he looks very enjoyed. A steel fork was placed within reach of his side, and it was clear that he had lost his vigilance in this situation.

"Fifteen meters away, enough for the little devil to turn over and stand up, find that the situation is wrong, and then call the police or grab the steel fork ......" Levi began to frown slightly, according to his calculations, the best result was that the little devil did not call the police at the first time, but tried to resist. Although Levi was sure that he would quickly destroy the little demon with his pikemen troops, the sound of the battle would probably have a good chance of being heard by the enemies at the outpost.

"It seems that there is only one risk. Levi thought of the little devil described in the book who bullied the weak and feared the hard, gritted his teeth, gently put the saber in his hand on the ground, then scattered his hair, wiped some dirt on his face, and ran out in disguise of panic.

In the eyes of the little devil sentry, a human suddenly appeared in the thick fog, looking like a down-and-out adventurer. Although the human was wearing leather armor but had no weapon in his hand, the human let out a suppressed exclamation and turned to run.

"I guess it's a lost human adventurer. The little devil made his own judgment, and then he hesitated. At the behest of his immediate superior, he was to raise the alarm as soon as possible, and monitor the spot for any other anomalies, and the human was to wait for the rest of the outpost to resolve them. But in his mind, the human who was about to disappear into the fog was nothing more than a good meal, a complete human being, who had not tasted this legendary delicacy since he left the purgatory filled with fire and smoke.

"This human has no weapons, and he is tired and panicked, and his combat effectiveness should be very poor, as long as I catch him, even if I eat the main part, it should be. ”

The greedy impulse finally drove the little devil out of his post, and he grabbed the steel fork and flapped his little wings into the thick fog. The demon clan all have strong eyesight and can see farther distances than ordinary humans in the dense fog, which was originally the reason why the little devil took it as a condition for victory, but this time, the little devil miscalculated.

Not long after entering the dense fog, the little devil saw the back of the fleeing man in a hurry, and showed a hideous smile, and the little devil sped up and pounced.

In front of the little devil, a row of steel spears suddenly appeared!

The little demon let out a short scream, its wings flapping rapidly, trying to slow its body forward. However, it was too late, and the pikemen let out a neat shout, and with a great stride, the spears slammed in. The little devil's steel fork only blocked one spear, and it was raised high, and the rest of the spears were firmly pierced into his body.

The red light from the little devil's eyes dimmed, and his body spasmed a few times, losing the breath of life. The pikemen drew back the spears that had pierced the corpse of the little devil, and dark purple blood flowed out, emitting a slight smell of sulfur.

Levi picked up his saber and walked over to the little demon's corpse, taking a closer look at the demon creature. After losing his life, the little demon's dark red skin turned a rocky grayish-white, as if it had been broken as a puppet. Levi slashed hard at the corpse, and the sensation in his hand was very tough. His saber, though not a well-known weapon, was crafted for knights by the smithy shop of the Viscount's castle, and was of better quality than the weapons of ordinary militiamen and warriors, and could cut off wrist-thick stakes during training. And this time, Levi exerted all his strength, and the blade only slashed into half of the little devil's arm, and it was stuck in the bone and could not continue to go deeper.

"With such a hard body strength, it's just a little devil. Levi couldn't help but sigh, it was obvious that although this little devil's reflexes and strength were inferior to his own, his physical strength was obviously much higher. In other words, the degree of danger shown by the detection skill is very credible, and his combat power is indeed only equivalent to that of a small demon.

The little devil's steel fork fell to the side, and Levi picked it up, the weight in his hand was not light, this steel fork that looked very rough was more than twice as heavy as Levi's sword. What caught Levi's attention even more was that on the three forks of the steel fork head, there was a faint black light!

This steel fork is actually a desecration weapon! As long as it pierces the skin of a creature, it can cause a variety of random negative effects such as rot, poisoning, paralysis, etc., if it was before the demon invasion, this steel fork could even be sold for more than ten gold coins.

How many such little demons are there in the Black River Outpost, and will there be other demons that are more troublesome than the little demons?

This question, if you don't confirm it with your own eyes, obviously there will be no answer.

What made Levi's heart even more chilled was that in Viscount Lane's territory, how many demons were there?

Levi crouched down and smashed the left corner of the little devil off hard, which was strong evidence to kill the little devil. In the minds of the trainee attendants, Viscount Ryan's request for 20 little demons in exchange for the inheritance of the knights of Ston still carries a lot of weight.

The complex of buildings at the Black River Outpost was just a faint silhouette in the thick fog, and the black stone buildings looked almost like a group of huge demons with teeth and claws. Levi looked at the five pikemen standing beside him, which gave him more courage, and finally he made up his mind and led the pikemen team to walk slowly towards the Black River outpost.
