As he spoke, there was heavy sound of horse hooves outside, followed by several screams that stopped suddenly, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

His face changed, and Lester said in a deep voice.

"Ritz, use the Saint Quartz Compass to open the Wall of Holy Light. Be sure to protect Sarah, Mrs. Hegel and Miss Gwen. I will go out to meet the enemy!"

Ritz nodded and began to call Kelly Hegel and Sarah Fortune to retreat. Sarah looked at Lester reluctantly, and after receiving Lester's reassuring response, she followed Ritz's pace.

Only the girl named Gwen did not leave, but stood less than two meters away from Lester, maintaining a distant attitude.

Lester looked solemn.

"Miss Gwen, it's very dangerous here. You'd better follow Ryze and the others to seek refuge."

Gwen shook her head and shook the scissors in her hand.

"I'm not afraid of those monsters, I can deal with them."

Without saying anything more, Lester nodded and rushed out of the grocery store.

The originally quiet street was now in chaos, with fighting and fire everywhere.

The residents of Cowart Island who huddled at home were unable to stop the invasion of the black mist and evil spirits. They were all eroded by the black mist and turned into ghosts.

The sealed doors and windows were no hindrance. The ghosts smashed through the doors and windows, irrationally pounced on the living people who could not be corroded by the black mist, and used their sharp claws and fangs to tear apart the flesh and blood, feasting on them.

The damage caused by ordinary swords and bullets to the ghost is extremely limited. Unless it is a sword strike or a headshot, it will not affect the ghost's actions, and the islanders' resistance is particularly weak.

Lester took off the soul-stirring bow from his back, plucked the bow string with his right hand like a piano string, and shot out arrows one after another. The arrows passed through the ghosts and evil spirits, burning with white light like burning gasoline.

Gwen, who was about to show off her skills, had just raised the scissors. The black mist and evil spirits within her sight had been wiped out. Even the black mist floating in the air had dissipated a lot.

For a moment, the girl froze on the spot, showing a cute expression of bewilderment.

Lester's attention was not on Gwen. He walked through the messy buildings and at the end of the street, he saw the violent centaur galloping towards him.

Shadow of War - Hecarim, the most cruel and merciless general of the Iron Legion, is currently massacring the living people in the town with the saber in his hand. The heavy horse hooves can easily smash the buildings along the way, even if he is hiding in the house.

He was also unavoidable. Wherever the blade struck, his whole body was split into two halves, his stomach was rotten and his intestines were pierced, and his death was horrific.

Behind Hecarim, there were hundreds of knights of the Iron Order riding ghost horses who spread out and wreaked havoc everywhere. There were fewer and fewer living people on the island, and more and more dead people. The death energy and the sky were soaring.

The soul fed back the raging black mist and began to erode more carefully and deeply, and the environment of Cowart Island was visibly transformed into something similar to Shadow Island.
