两男一女的双龙挺进

And all of this was thanks to the archer who was currently standing on top of the carriage roof.

Swoosh!

The arrow whistled through the air and embedded itself deep into the eyes of the last remaining beast.

The two Awakened who had been battling that beast turned around and gave Serena a nod of appreciation. The beautiful girl smiled at them before jumping down from the carriage and landing gracefully.

Gordon, who had been observing his daughter all this while, was still feeling a bit shocked by everything. Though he knew about Serena training with Nyx, he hadn\'t known she would develop her marksmanship to such a terrifying level.

Seeing the priceless expression on her father\'s face, Serena couldn\'t help but display a smug smile. "It seems Father has forgotten that I also learned a few things from Uncle Elvin. Of course, I\'d be this good."

"Yes, I guess." Gordon smiled as he hugged Serena and ruffled her head. "I\'m proud of you...from now on, I won\'t underestimate you again."

Serena could feel the raw emotions from these words, and it felt good...it reminded her a lot of her mother\'s eyes during the mock tournament.

Thinking about her mother, Serena\'s eyes snapped open.

Of course, her mother, Camila, was still back in the Barony! She gripped her bow tightly.

"Alright, let\'s keep going!" At the same time, Hans\'s voice echoed in the air, breaking the father-daughter moment.

After clearing the beasts from their path, the Awakened and the carriages proceeded with their journey. However, this time, Serena didn\'t stay inside.

She lay down on the roof of the carriage and, like a sniper about to eliminate her targets, fired her arrows in quick succession, blinding every beast that blocked their path.

This made the journey much faster, and soon the carriage slowly entered the territory of the Cromwell Barony.

"Damn, that\'s really a lot," one soldier gasped in shock when he saw dozens of beasts heading toward the Cromwell Barony, each of them emitting a terrifying aura.

Because of their numbers, the group immediately stopped all movement, afraid of attracting the beasts\' attention. If all these beasts were to attack now, they would certainly find themselves in a troublesome situation.

"So, what do we do?" Serena asked her father.

"We wait," Gordon responded, and for the next few hours, they did just that. After the horde passed, the group continued their journey and soon saw the towering walls in the distance.

As soon as they saw the silhouette of the Cromwell walls, the eyes of the Awakened burned with even more intensity, and their speed also increased.

Meanwhile, on the walls, the soldiers were having a very tough time fending off the beasts, whose numbers had suddenly tripled!

The Awakened on the walls all had pale faces, their weapons trembling slightly in their hands, making it difficult for them to place their arrows on the strings or activate their long-range skills.

Because of the increased number, the collective roars of the beasts had become much more deafening. Hearing the terrifying roars of thousands of beasts made even the bravest Awakened feel a chill down their spine.

They couldn\'t imagine how Elvin was still able to fight in this situation.

Fwoosh! Fwoosh!

Down below, Elvin panted as his arrows pierced yet another beast. Over a hundred beasts lay around him, each bearing the markings of arrows. Elvin\'s breathing hitched as he felt his hands go slightly numb... He had been fighting nonstop for several hours now; naturally, even for a war veteran like him, it was really taxing for the body.

[Stamina: 30/100%]

"At this rate, I can only fight for another hour," Elvin thought as he saw the grim notification flickering across his retina.

At that moment, a monster broke free from the lines and pounced on him. An arrow quickly materialized in Elvin\'s grasp and blurred toward the beast, striking it down and piercing its chest.

The beast collapsed onto the ground with a final, resounding roar, but Elvin barely had time to catch his breath before the next wave surged toward him. His legs felt weak, his vision blurred, and his arms trembled as he nocked another arrow. His body was screaming for rest, but his mind refused to give in. He had to hold the line; the safety of the Barony depended on it.

"Damn it, I\'ll give all of them a beating of their lives after this." Elvin cursed as he saw the clumsy rain of arrows from below. Because of their trembling arms, their aim was terrible, often landing on the ground or even near Elvin.

Though he knew this was because the others had never experienced such a large-scale battle before, it still angered him greatly, especially when thousands of lives depended on them.

"Just a little longer," Elvin muttered under his breath, trying to steady his shaking hands.

He took aim once more, but before he could release the arrow, a sudden gust of wind swept over him, momentarily clearing his vision. From above, a flurry of fire meteors rained down, crashing into hundreds of beasts at the same time, and loud, painful roars echoed in the air.

Roar! Roar!

Like a tempest of destruction, the flaming meteors descended on the monsters, instantly turning them to ashes. The beasts desperately tried to escape the tyrannical rain of flames but were too late. The barrage of fiery meteors obliterated their ranks, leaving a blazing trail of destruction across the battlefield. Plumes of smoke immediately filled the battlefield.

"Ah! What is happening?"

"What is that massive shadow?"

The soldiers were also perplexed and glanced at the sky. Above, a giant figure loomed amidst the haze and fiery aftermath, blocking the sun and casting a long shadow on the battlefield.

"Wait...is that?"

Elvin\'s eyes widened as he recognized the flames, and instinctively, he looked up. A rare smile of relief slowly appeared on his face as he saw the one responsible for the attack.

It was...

Doombringer.
