Looking at the terrifying Lars Knights in front of him, the Demon Clan High Priest kept retreating.
Although this Demon Clan High Priest had already sensed something when the Demon God Offspring fell, when humans truly appeared within the Black Fog sheltered by the Demon God, this priest still displayed an expression of disbelief.
“You… are really humans?”
Looking at the powered armors in front of him that were watertight, the High Priest had reason to doubt that they were actually humans.
“Do we not look like humans?”
“I don’t know, but I do think the powered armors are pretty cool.”
“Indeed.”
The Lars Knights were chattering noisily in the sacred Kara.
“We are indeed humans, on the orders of the Northern Border Governor to exterminate your invading Demon Clan in the Eastern Border!”
After saying this, Hammond waved his halberd and struck a pose.
“Your human grandpa has come to take your dog life!”
“Boss, it seems you didn’t actually say that out loud, you just made a statement in the sacred Kara.”
“……”
Well, it seems Hammond still needs to practice regarding this public dream.
Looking at the silent Lars Knights in front of him, who were making aggressive poses, the High Priest somewhat crazily shouted: “The Demon God will protect His citizens! I will drive you out of the Demon God’s Divine Kingdom!”
After saying that, the priest waved his staff, and the somewhat crazy followers around him rushed ahead.
In that instant, the power of the Lars Knights’ powered armors was instantly maxed out. In a mere encounter, Hammond charged in front of the High Priest and chopped off the opponent’s head with one stroke.
“One hit is all it takes.”
Hammond’s voice finally emitted somewhat genuinely through his helmet.
As always, the overwhelming crushing momentum.
Just as Hammond was about to board the transport vehicle again to continue searching for the Demon Clan’s main force, he suddenly felt something entangling his powered armor, but it was quickly purified completely by the powered armor.
Following this feeling, Hammond looked, and it came from the strange sensation on the staff of that priest; it seemed the recently fallen High Priest had indeed controlled something within the Black Fog to launch an attack on him.
But weren’t Demon Clans hard to learn other types of magic? Or is this the bloodline magic of the Demon Clan?
Just as other Lars Soldiers were preparing to board the specially equipped off-road transport vehicle, Hammond approached the corpse of the priest and began to ponder.
No, it couldn’t be bloodline magic; the bloodline magic of the Demon Clan cannot directly control the Black Fog, and the recent attack seemed more like… divine magic?
After questioning in the sacred Kara, Hammond realized that the recent attack was not an illusion; although the attack was negligible for the powered armor, that High Priest indeed had controlled the Black Fog to attack.
“Wait a moment, search carefully, and bring all the texts and scrolls of this Demon Clan cult.”
Taking precautions, Hammond despised the Demon Clan, but he never looked down on the Black Fog and the so-called Demon God.
…..
“Finally, we’ve escaped!”
A squad from the Demon Clan was panting as they escaped the control range of the Black Fog.
Humans had finally entered the Black Fog, making the Black Fog no longer safe.
Although His Majesty Antipa continually claimed that humans were not scary, as long as the Demon Clan and the Demon God Offspring cooperated, a small group of Lars Knights would naturally be easily dealt with.
However, the morale of the Demon Clan had already dissipated, and Antipa’s notification was tantamount to indirectly admitting that humans could indeed attack into the Black Fog, causing the subordinate Demon Soldiers to start fleeing disobediently.
“Boss, is it really all right for us to escape like this?”
“Don’t worry, as long as we can escape, His Majesty Antipa will not pursue us. I’ve already contacted Avar’s people; they will take us to the Solun Continent. They are willing to accept us, and once we get to that continent, we can certainly eat well and drink well!”
Not long ago, the Avar people were working for the Demon Clan for a piece or two of land on this continent, but now things had turned around.
“Although it’s not as rich as the Cape Kingdom, Avar said that as long as we help attack other countries, they will give us a portion of the conquered land to establish our own country! And although there are high-level professionals among humans on that continent, most are still ordinary soldiers; we the Demon Clan are the elite among the elite!”
“Haha, I want to be a prince when we get there!”
“Fool, can a prince be something anyone can just become?”
A few not-so-wise members of the Demon Clan were still fantasizing about life on the Solun Continent when they noticed a vehicle with a Northern Wind Bear flag driving on the road being constructed not far away.
The Demon Clan quickly lowered their bodies and hid.
“Don’t worry, there are only a few of us; as long as we hide, the Northern Border people won’t find us!”
Just as these words left their lips, they suddenly heard the sound of heavy footsteps behind them and endless wails.
The Demon God Offspring, dragging its massive body, stepped out of the Black Fog.
At that moment, these members of the Demon Clan realized that the steel monsters were not coming towards them but towards the Demon God Offspring behind them.
The proud, enormous form of the Demon God Offspring, combined with its wails capable of affecting mental states, had at this moment become the most effective means for humans to locate the Demon God Offspring.
A few Northern Border soldiers driving the transport vehicle certainly did not notice these Demon Clan members until the vehicle directly crushed them. Unable to hold back, the crushed Demon Clan members cried out, prompting the soldiers on the vehicle to come to a halt.
Both sides looked at each other awkwardly.
“You first.”
The Northern Border soldier politely spoke first, breaking the silence that was dead as silence.
…..
“Well done.”
In a human village not far away, an officer from the First Army Group patted the shoulder of a villager.
“Unfearing of danger, you were the first to discover the monsters of the Demon Clan and report them; this battle has your share of credit!”
Seeing a neatly dressed officer actually address him with honorifics, the villager hurriedly replied, “I dare not claim such praise, sir!”
“I was just lucky to have heard the sounds of those monsters first.”
The villager appeared quite lacking in confidence, but the officer said, “It is indeed rare for an ordinary person to hear that sound without being influenced mentally; you are deserving of this reward. However, please take care, the areas we designate are all considered dangerous zones. Unless absolutely necessary, you should avoid entering these areas. If there is any necessary situation or if you discover anything unusual, please report to the nearest government agency.”
“Yes, sir, I will remember.”
“No need to call me sir, I am just an ordinary officer, and it is our duty to protect you…”
Seeing the fearful expression on the villager’s face, the officer chose not to say further, shifting the topic: “Tell us again what you were thinking when you heard that monster’s call.”
“Um.”
Upon discussing this, the villager’s face again filled with pride.
“When I first heard that call, I was quite scared. As you know, our village is relatively close to those strange Black Fog, but then I remembered what was written in the village chief’s newspaper, that those monsters are merely a little bigger, and they have always been driven away by you soldiers, so what is there to be afraid of? So I took a far glance and indeed saw shadows within the Black Fog that were gradually becoming clear, and then I ran to the village chief’s house to report.”
“That monster is just a bit scary in appearance; as long as you are not afraid of it, it is nothing to worry about.”
Upon hearing this response, the officer nodded after making a note.
This monster was nothing much.
Once fear subsided, people’s acceptance of twisted and horrific monsters in this world seemed to be significantly higher than in Lind’s past life, or perhaps their resistance to such things was much stronger.
