Chapter 609: Chapter 361: Battle of the Demons_2

If the monster group surpassed a certain scale, a King of Demons would be born.

Once the King of Demons appeared, it meant the "Disaster of Demons" had descended.

This was one of the catastrophes that Trolian least wanted to face, as countless demons would surge toward Trolian like a tide, bringing unprecedented pressure to the entire defense perimeter.

Therefore, when problems arose at Courage Fortress, the Hall immediately dispatched Qingyu to provide support.

But many days had passed, and the crisis in the Dead Land had not been resolved; the demon horde continued to grow, and the King of Demons could be born at any time.

Consequently, Rod became the second batch of supporters.

The Envoy of the Hall detailed the specifics of the battle and informed him that his battle group had assembled and could depart at any moment.

Rod smirked, "There are only two of us in my battle group who can move out, yet it sounds like there are hundreds."

Sigh, once this fight is over, I must find some more teammates.

Just having two or three people is really too shabby.

On the flight platform, Rod met Anna and Mephit after several days apart.

"Ah, my best partners, I’m so happy to see you guys again."

Rod tried to hug them both at the same time but was punched hard by Anna while Mephit also dodged to one side.

"Show some respect," Anna gritted through her teeth, "I have a boyfriend."

Rod frowned and said, "What boyfriend, is he as important as your squad leader? Quickly turn into a Centaur."

Due to the tense battle situation, there were no flying vehicles left on the flight platform, and they could only run.

Anna frowned, although unhappy, her Centaur Form was the reason for her existence and her pride, and as a burst of purple smoke appeared, she entered her Awakened State.

Rod mounted the horse, and a familiar feeling made him happy, curiously asking, "Do you really have a boyfriend? Has he ever ridden your horse?"

Anna spat out, "Talk properly, are you jealous? Let me tell you, my stunning beauty is famous across the entire school, I have plenty of boyfriends, changing one every day."

Upon hearing this, Rod knew she was still single, he skillfully grabbed her waist—he had now finally gotten used to grabbing the waist of a Centaur rather than the upper parts.

"Alright, Mephit, come on, get up, let’s depart, Anna, go!"

Anna, grinding her teeth, said word by word, "I’ve told you a thousand times! Don’t slap my butt, don’t say go, I’m not a horse!"

With all four hooves in action, the Centaur carried Rod and Mephit as they leaped from the flight platform.

A gale roared in, the Fire Hall stood isolated on the peak of the Dead Ash Mountain Range, below were rugged cliffs and steep precipices, yet Anna was fearless, hopping about the steep mountain walls like an antelope. Within moments, they had descended the mountain and were headed toward Courage Fortress.

On the way, Rod briefly inquired about their recent situation.

It turned out that since the battle at Trident River ended, Anna had gone to the Soul Church for a comprehensive Purification ceremony.

This ceremony not only cleansed her soul but also advanced her Spiritual Energy Characteristic "Magic Release" by a half step further.

Now, her Centaur Form was stronger than before, with increased speed and more Spirit Spears.

But the increase in Spiritual Energy consumption was also higher, making her limited Spiritual Energy somewhat strained.

Anna was currently troubled by her Spiritual Energy, hoping to increase her total Spiritual Energy soon; on her diagnostic report, the total amount of Spiritual Energy was less than one scale-track, not even enough to use the measurement "track".

Rod casually took out a bunch of Spiritual Power Potions and stuffed them into her arms, telling her to drink them slowly and ask for more if needed, which deeply moved Anna.

Meanwhile, Mephit had returned to the Silver Oath. Although her Soul Curse had completely spiraled out of control, the Leader of the Taboo Armament from Silver Oath still wanted to try and bring her back under control.

Unsurprisingly, he was met with a humiliating failure.

Out of respect for the Archbishop’s protection and Rod’s renown, the Leader had to let Mephit go.

Rod had nothing much to give to Mephit; after thinking, he pulled out several thousand silver coins and stuffed them into her arms.

Mephit coldly said, "Thank you," without particularly letting go of his hand.

Giving money was always her particularly generous moment, and at this moment with her silver hair and silver eyes, her stunning appearance made Rod’s hands somewhat uncontrollable.

It was all the hands’ fault.

Courage Fortress was 1100 kite-lengths from the Royal City, and Anna managed to get there in just two clock hours without showing any signs of fatigue.

Rod could also make it in time, but he would definitely be exhausted.

Courage Fortress was a fortress isolated in the vast wasteland, with the range of the Guardian Fire about 3000 yards. Thanks to the light beyond the Black Fog, which wasn’t very dense, Rod could see far into the distance.

However, within his line of sight, there was no battle occurring, no monsters attacking the stronghold.

There were no Sentries on the city walls, not even a silhouette could be seen.

The three of them entered the fortress smoothly, and within, the fortress was full of dusty bungalows that looked messy and ordinary, with hardly anyone around.

"Where has everyone gone?" Rod asked in surprise.

The Sentry that opened the door answered truthfully, "They went out to battle."

"Isn’t anyone guarding the city?"

"No, the Demons generally do not attack the stronghold."

"Where is Lord Qingyu?"

"I don’t know, all Spiritual Energy communications were disrupted when battling the Demons."

"What should we do now?"

"I don’t know."

Rod was speechless, this Sentry knew nothing, unable to answer anything. He pondered for a moment and then patted the horse’s back, "Anna, let’s go outside the town to look."
