"When light appears, the monsters hiding in the shadows should also appear!"

Wang Zhenguo turned to Su Bai and said, "Stay close to me and be careful."

Just then.

A series of rustling footsteps could be heard in the darkness ahead.

Accompanied by low, labored breathing and the cracking sound of branches snapping underfoot.

The stench in the air became exceptionally strong.

Something's up!

Uther's gaze was intense.

With a thrust of his right palm, a ball of light, twenty centimeters in diameter, materialized out of thin air.

At an incredible speed, it passed the Swordsman of Light and disappeared into the darkness ahead.

"boom!"

The sphere of light shattered, illuminating the darkness.

The view became clearer.

It was very clear to see humanoid monsters, dragging their battered bodies, rushing forward at high speed.

Their faces were hideous, their bodies were ulcerated, and they emitted wisps of black mist.

The weapons in his hands were of all kinds: knives, swords, wooden clubs, stones, bones, severed limbs, and so on.

As Su Bai's gaze focused, lines of information popped up.

【Wight】

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv20]

[Description: A rotting corpse, corrupted by dark forces, is resurrected, but its brain is filled only with the desire to kill.]

"The level range of the ghouls is between level 20 and level 40. They come in large numbers and in groups."

Su Bai frowned slightly, his expression stern.

In the darkness, it seemed as if an endless stream of rotting corpses were rushing in, their numbers impossible to count.

Preliminary assessments indicate that the number has exceeded 10,000.

"This is the most basic, but also the most numerous, type of monster on the Cursed Isles."

Wang Zhenguo's eyes were blazing as he raised his voice and shouted, "Light Legion, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The first to react were two thousand arcane mages.

They raised their staffs high, and magical energy surged forth.

One after another, blue lightning arrows, like dragons emerging from the sea, pierced the darkness and flew forward with a whoosh.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Upon hitting the ghoul, the Thunder Arrow detonated automatically, radiating bursts of blue electricity in all directions.

Sizzle!

The ghoul covered in blue electricity quickly became numb all over, its skin charred black, and wisps of black smoke rose from its surface.

In the blink of an eye.

A blank space appeared in the middle of the charging ghouls.

"Such powerful attack capabilities!"

Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, the difference in social status is there."

Wang Zhenguo smiled slightly, his expression showing little change.

It was quite obvious that this wasn't the first time he had led his army to kill the ghouls in the Cursed Isles.

At this moment, the rotting corpse in front had already rushed within a hundred meters.

The swordsmen of light stood in dozens of rows, their military bearing impeccable, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Soon, the two sides came into close contact.

The swordsmen of light swung their silver longswords forward in unison.

The silver sword light intertwined to form a dense net.

Slay all the rotting corpses before you.

"An ordinary swordsman can wield a sword beam; he is indeed powerful enough!"

Su Bai praised again.

For a time, I was filled with confidence for this trip to the Cursed Islands.

With such a powerful army of light, annihilating the Lord of Darkness should not be a problem.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The arcane mage continuously waved his staff, unleashing bolts of lightning.

The explosions never stopped.

Although there were many ghouls, most of them could not get close under the intense bombardment.

Five minutes later.

Uther thrust out his right palm in succession, and several orbs of light quickly coalesced, flying into the darkness ahead, where they exploded with a deafening roar, bringing forth a vast expanse of light.

It is visible to the naked eye that the total number of ghouls has dropped to one-tenth.

"It's time to end the fight!"

Wang Zhenguo waved his hand and shouted, "Silver Knights, attack!"

The arcane mage put away his staff and ended his spellcasting.

The swordsman of light holds his sword in his right hand and raises his left hand high.

Transparent shields, shimmering with golden light, materialized out of thin air.

Thousands of shields were linked together to form an incredibly wide passage.

The Silver Knight held his silver lance horizontally.

With one hand gripping the reins tightly, he spurred the horse's belly and launched a charge.

The white warhorse galloped swiftly, stepping onto the path formed by shields.

Thirty seconds later.

The warhorse reared up, leaped down, and charged straight into the enemy ranks.

It was like a flood crashing against shattered rocks.

The ghouls turned into blocks of tofu, unable to stop the Silver Knights' charge.

They were either cleaved in two by spears or crushed by horses' hooves.

After several rounds of charging, it was as if the land had been plowed; all the ghouls died, and not a single one of their bodies remained intact.

"Is this what high-level combat power is? It's truly terrifying!"

Su Bai's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but praise.

Tens of thousands of rotting corpses were swiftly annihilated.

Moreover, the Light Swordsmen and Silver Knights suffered almost no casualties.

The arcane mage casting the spell from behind was not bumped or hit in the slightest.

For a moment, Su Bai's heart was filled with anticipation.

The current swarm is only at level eleven or twelve.

Given time, if Zerglings, Hydralisks, Roach, Blastbugs, and Aliens become level 50 or 60 creatures...

Then it will definitely have more evolutionary sequences, generate more abilities, and its overall combat power will definitely be very strong.

With their unparalleled numbers, the dream of becoming a lord who sweeps across the entire Land of Redemption and dominates all nations will no longer be just that—a dream.

"The Legion of Light is naturally able to overcome darkness, making them the nemesis of these ghouls. That's why they were able to win the battle with almost no casualties!"

Wang Zhenguo looked at his troops, a satisfied expression on his face.

"Colonel Wang, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, with my current strength, I really wouldn't be able to deal with such a high-level monster."

Kerrigan, Dehaka, Abathur, and Broken Tooth became mere background characters.

However, Su Bai was quite happy to do so.

The most comfortable state is to be able to defeat enemies smoothly and effortlessly, and finally break the dark curse.

"You're being too polite by saying that."

“Just take one example, compared to the national fortune reward you brought, and the twenty-year lifespan increase reward.”

"The rewards given to you by the military and the country seem far too insignificant."

Wang Zhenguo turned around, looked at Su Bai, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

The Land of Redemption has been connected to Earth for fifty years.

But this is the first time that someone like Su Bai has brought such a generous reward for the nation's destiny in one go.

Whenever he thinks of this, Wang Zhenguo feels extremely excited and thrilled.

"I will continue to work hard," Su Bai said with a smile.

"Let's go! Keep moving forward!"

Wang Zhenguo waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to advance deeper into the island.

...

...

Half an hour later.

Arrive at the center of the island.

The terrain became more open.

A huge black altar came into view.

Atop the altar stood a demon statue, its grotesque and twisted form conveying a sense of eeriness.
