Chapter 191: Omega beam
Dark and Oliver stood at the front of the forest, after clearing out the demonized, but getting into the forest would still take some more effort. The knights were weak, and so were the adventurers. Though losses had greatly reduced, it was still very hard to push forward.
"The men are weak. We might have to push forward ourselves," Dark said.
"They gave their all, but men have their limits," Oliver said.
"Don’t be too quick to enter. Seems you have some backup," a male voice came from behind them. They turned around to see a lean, shirtless man with a long beard and red hair. He staggered from side to side with a jar in hand.
He was the drunkard, their friend who drank so much his name was lost in wine. Now he was called drunkard.
"Drunkard, I thought you were helping Lady Emily with the injured at the back," Dark said.
"She can handle it, and I also came to tell you that we have some backup," he said in a slur and pointed to the distance, showing hundreds of horses riding toward them, raising a banner of a sword and a spear crossed on a skull.
"Seems your son called on his brother and sister, the Black Skull Mercenaries," Drunkard said.
"Hmm, he put up with his brother and sister for the town. He has indeed grown," Oliver said. He turned back, looking at his son that stood in the distance helping the injured. He gave him a nod, and his son nodded back.
"Since we have backup now, we can finally take down the gate," Dark said. He took a strong step forward, but then suddenly, there was a wave. It spread far and wide like a pulse, striking uncontrollable fear into the hearts of everyone that was around, all the way to the people in the town.
