The village on the east side of the Plain of Corpses. It used to be a peaceful and auspicious place, but was now in complete ruins.

Devastated walls were stained in blood. Corpses gnawed clean of flesh were piled in pools of blood.

The aura of death permeated thickly in this wretched little village.

A few Blaze Army soldiers were sitting inside a dilapidated cellar. Panting heavily, they were staring in alertness at the entrance. Blood and dirt covered their armour.

Made of over a hundred soldiers, demons attacked the reconnaissance team the moment they entered the village. The demons had devoured everyone in the entire village. The Blaze Army troops were trapped in battle, suffering serious fatalities and injuries. A few of them had escaped and hid inside the cellar. However, the image of their comrades and the villagers being butchered remained imprinted in their minds.

Inside the cellar, two hysterical children were quivering as they clutched at each other. The demons had dismembered their parents right before their eyes. If the Blaze Army troops had not arrived, then and rescued them, those two children would have already met the same fate.

“Big brother… I am scared…” The skinny kid was hoarse from crying. This nightmare was too much to bear for someone so young and innocent.

The older kid held his little brother—his whole body kept trembling while his fearful eyes were fixed upon the Blaze Army soldiers shielding them.

The soldiers were heartbroken by the sight of those two children. However, they had no time to comfort them. Harsh scraping noises resonated above them, with each sound piercing straight through their hearts. The demons’ sharp claws were barely a meter away from the top of their heads. The slightest movement would attract the demons’ attention.

Death crept closer and closer…

As the noises above their heads slowly faded away, the group felt as if someone had lifted a heavy stone off their chests.

However…

A sudden loud bang shattered their last strand of hope. The main doors of the cellar had been burst open.

Two burly demons popped their heads through the door!

“Roar!!” The vile stench of evil and blood filled the entire cellar as the demons opened their mouths to howl.

The minute the Blaze Army soldiers saw those two demons rush in, they immediately raised their weapons and chopped off their heads!

“Move!” One soldier gave a low shout. The men in the cellar immediately sprang into action. They scooped up those two weak-kneed children and stumbled out from the cellar!

On the surface, demons could be seen everywhere seeking out humans. The moment those Blaze Army soldiers appeared, they bawled and pounced toward the gang.

Countless demons surged from all corners of the village and surrounded the miserable group of soldiers!

Fresh blood splattered as despair clouded the hearts of those men.

The children gripped desperately onto the soldiers’ armour. Their dazed eyes reflected the hideous faces of the demons.

Suddenly, the blare of a bugle horn rang out in the air. All the surrounding demons abruptly halted their attack!
