Chapter 1483: Chapter 948: Changes in the Outside World (2)

Despite the sighs, this is his territory, his home, and he absolutely cannot let these void creatures ravage it.

"For Count Alfred! For the homeland! Kill——!"

The most elite Guard Captain under Alfred’s command, a robust man with a scarred face, roared hoarsely.

He was the first to raise a heavy tower shield and a gleaming long spear, leading hundreds of guards clad in chain mail, wielding sharp blades, charging like an unstoppable torrent of steel towards the surging tide of void beasts.

These are oath-bound guards who have been datafied, and their average level has reached Level Seven.

Do not underestimate Level Seven.

Although Level Seven is quite ordinary in the Night Watchers’ ranks.

But they have only made their vows a few years ago, and their experience comes solely from desperate battles against these void creatures.

It can be said that when facing the void creatures, they are the most experienced veteran soldiers outside the direct Night Watcher force.

The battlefield boiled instantly, like a blazing furnace.

On the front line, flesh and steel intertwine in the slaughter line.

Vane and Legolas had just accomplished the execution of a legendary creature, and as Alfred expected, they were now gasping for breath.

The flowing silver sheen on Vane’s body had dulled significantly, and sweat trickled down his forehead.

Legolas was half-kneeling on the ground, his fingers trembling slightly; the fatal three arrows infused with rule power had consumed a lot, and he needed time to calm the turbulent magic power within and condense the newborn rule power.

The two exchanged a weary glance, not forcing themselves, they swiftly retreated to the safe zone in the middle of the defensive line, guarded by several Night Watcher warriors, seizing this precious opportunity to recover their strength.

The remaining fight was to be handled by their companions.

They still needed to regain their strength; if this rift again behaved irrationally and spawned legendary-level combatants, things would turn bad.

After all, the void cannot be understood with common sense.

Moreover, they have become legendary figures, and their experience requirement has elevated to only legendary-level strong enemies providing sufficient gains.

Non-legendary creatures already cannot provide them with so-called experience anymore since they are no longer of the same tier of creatures.

Therefore, when not urgent, they would not compete for more prey.

These need to be given to others so they also receive the gift of experience.

This ideology has been running within the Night Watcher system for so many years, ingrained deeply in their hearts.

How to judge the situation, when to share experience, when to disregard this form, each experienced Night Watcher has ample experience and insight.

This is indeed a compulsory course for the Night Watchers.

Excessive grabbing for experience would breed resentment, but similarly, one cannot let companions fall into crisis just to offer experience.

This is a delicate skill.

The unique wisdom brought to this world by the Night Watchers.

At this moment, the true main force at the frontline became those Light Guardian warriors of the Night Watchers, clad in uniform leather armor with black base and silver patterns, well-equipped.

The elite professional war group within the Night Watchers.

And Count Alfred’s guards bravely moving forward under his command.

The two forces quickly intertwined and merged after a brief chaos, relying upon semi-finished walls and temporary shelters, constructing a boiling, indestructible death wall.

"Shield Guards! Hold fast! Energy runes activate!"

A Night Watcher squad captain hoarsely shouted, as three extraordinarily brawny Night Watcher warriors equipped with giant tower shields roared in unison ahead of him.

The runes on their arm guards lit up instantly, the thick tower shields "buzzed" as they were cloaked in a dense, pale golden energy halo.

Like three immovable rocks, they firmly repelled the frenzied charge of the void creatures leading at the forefront, resembling giant beetles, with mouths capable of ejecting foul corrosive mucus.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dull sound of collisions was incessant, the energy halo violently vibrating.

The shield surfaces emitted a piercing "zzz" sound, the sound of corrosive liquid frantically burning through the shields.

The Shield Guards’ muscles knotted, veins popped, their feet plowing deep furrows into the muddy ground, yet they gritted their teeth, refusing to yield.

"Spearmen, pierce! Target the joints!"

The squad captain commanded sharply.

The Night Watcher spearmen behind him acted in unison, their enchanted long spears gleaming coldly, darting out like venomous snakes through gaps in the shields.

Precisely stabbing at the beetle creatures’ fragile leg joints and mouth bases.

"Thud! Crack!"

Grating tearing sounds and shell fragments breaking rang out; foul dark purple body fluid sprayed like a fountain.

A beetle cried out as it crashed to the ground, most of its six legs precisely destroyed.

"Well done! Die, scum!"

A young guard, with his heart surging with stinging heat, imitating the Night Watchers, took advantage of a staggered beetle, mustering all the courage on his tender face, ferociously thrusting his long halberd into the relatively soft abdomen, violently stirring it.

His face spattered with foul body fluid, yet he shouted wildly with the exhilaration and wildness of his first battle.

On the other side, a group of extremely fast void creatures, resembling skinned hunting dogs, tried to cleverly bypass the shield wall from the flank.

"Roaming team! Crossfire! Don’t let them break through!"

Another Night Watcher commander’s calm voice transmitted via datafication communication.

Several Night Watcher "Roamers" equipped with light armor, holding rapid-firing alchemy crossbows or short bows immediately responded.

They actually were Night Patrol.

Although they had different roles within the Night Watchers, when facing void rifts, they would almost always join forces, showing seamless coordination.

However, having such a squad code name indicates this team is nearing advancement to Soul Guardians.

They agilely weaved and jumped between shelters.

"Swish swish swish!"

Bolt and arrow infused with Holy Light or flame runes poured out like a dense, tempestuous rain.

"Awoo!"

A dog-like creature got pinned brutally by several crossbow arrows, howling miserably as it burned and fell to the ground.

"Watch three o’clock direction! Focus fire on the big one!"

An eagle-eyed Night Patrol shouted.

Several arrows shot simultaneously at a larger-sized dog creature, seemingly the squad leader.

The cunning leader sharply crouched down, evading most arrows, only suffering a back graze, roaring furiously, accelerating its advance.

"Damn! Block it!"

A nearby guard archer, evidently inexperienced, panicked, his arrows flying askew.

Even though these guards have also sworn and obtained the same datafication blessings as the Night Watchers.

But compared to most Night Watchers, constantly honing against void creatures’ interference from the start, these guards still fell short in experience.

When fighting void creatures, the scariest part is during the battle, you don’t know when your spirit might loosen even just a little.

And that little bit would become a fulcrum for the void to erode their will, causing a breach in the fight, leading to a direct heavy blow, even a killing strike.

At this critical moment, a Night Watcher Roamer suddenly leapt from the flank.

Drawing a short bow to a perfect arc, a specially crafted arrow with its head flickering dangerous unstable electrical arcs was released!

"Zzzz——Boom!"

The arrow hit the dog leader’s waist with precision, exploding in a dazzling and eye-catching electric light!

The dog leader convulsed violently, stiffened, and fell, mercilessly shot to pieces by subsequent arrows.

"Wow... amazing!" The guard archer watched wide-eyed, his face soon flushed with intense shame and burning resolve, "Dammit, I’m gonna practice too!"

At the center of the battle line, where combat raged most fiercely.

The void creatures mingled densely with numerous terrifyingly strong "Smashers" wielding heavy bone hammers.

Each of their frenzied strikes caused the ground to quake, ordinary shields unable to withstand.
