Han Shuo suddenly awoke from his contemplation and said with an awkward smile, "Don't worry, I'm only interested in pretty girls like Hemanna and Sylph, I just had something on my mind earlier.

Nambrough breathed a sigh of relief and laughed. "Thank you for your help."

"No need for such formalities, we haven't broken out of the siege yet, have we?" Han Shuo turned to look at the forces of Venomfang Castle who were following him closely, and when he saw some of the abyssal creatures on the outskirts of Shero Regiment being slaughtered helplessly, he had to withdraw his skeletal staff and chant more incantations. Bone spears and acid swamps appeared one after the other, creating a blockade in front of the Triops' pursuers.

He did not summon his sea of undead armies, nor did he try to reverse the situation with demonic arts. He just did what he said he would do, and held the enemy back for the Shero Regiment.

"Very well. Hemanna, Sylph, you two will help our friend here. Take another hundred guards to bring up the rear, I'll take care of breaking the encirclement," Nambrough gave the order, and without waiting for Hemanna and Sylph to say another word, he flew directly to the battlefront. His arms snaked around like pythons, and wisps of dark smoke shot out from his body, forcing the enemies of Venomfang Castle who stood in his way to retreat.

Han Shuo was at the back, with the two beautiful alien girls, Hemanna and Sylph, at his side. The two young ladies stayed close to Han Shuo and worked together with him to mercilessly kill all of their pursuers.

Blood splattered and severed limbs flew everywhere. The fight became even more violent with Han Shuo's involvement. Each time he attacked, he took the lives of several abyssal creatures at once. With the demonic blades in his hands, Han Shuo spun a web of demonic light and sent it down on the abyssal creatures. All those caught in it were shredded to pieces.

The two beautiful girls at his side, Hemanna and Sylph, kept sneaking glances at Han Shuo as they assisted him. Han Shuo became extremely attractive in their eyes at that moment.

Han Shuo looked pleased in the midst of the fierce battle, his attacks brutal and ruthless. Having two such lovely ladies by his side put him in a great mood, and he would exchange shy glances with the girls as often as he could.

With the addition of Han Shuo, Hemanna and Sylph, the Shero Regiment was successful in its attempt to break out. Han Shuo's wide-area necromancy was a particular hindrance to Venomfang Castle. After his Boundaries of Fear and Weakness were cast, Venomfang's attacks collectively slowed. They were also much less powerful than before, due to the fear brewing in their stomachs.

Rows of bone spears and acid swamps wreaked havoc on Venomfang's enemies. The pursuing enemies of Venomfang Castle had not even come close to Han Shuo in all that time, and they had already lost six or seven hundred. This left those who had charged in front of him with great difficulty, but under the combined forces of Han Shuo and the two girls, they were quickly cut to pieces. The hundred guards behind the trio didn't even have a chance to lend a hand.

This went on for a while, fighting and retreating. The group of Shero Regiment guards led by Nambrough broke through the encirclement, leaving a path behind them. They were quickly followed by the rest, who cleared the area at top speed.

Once out of the encirclement, the regiment did not stop, but kept moving until they had long since shaken off their pursuers.

"My friend, I must thank you for your help, without which we would not have escaped so easily," chuckled Nambrough, who had only returned from the front of the regiment when he was sure they were indeed safe.

His python-like arms had returned to their normal appearance, and only the hedgehog spikes on his back remained. Although this alien race man was cultivated in the element of darkness, he did not radiate the dark and cold aura of dark mages like Candide. Instead, he was very bright and energetic. Perhaps it was because his cultivation method was different.

At that time, Han Shuo and the two girls, Hemanna and Sylph, were flirting fiercely in broad daylight. In this world where the strong were idolised, Han Shuo had won the approval of the two girls without them realising it. The two seductive girls from the abyssal realm were quite uninhibited, throwing all of their many shy glances at Han Shuo.

There was also the fact that Hemanna and Sylph were rivals, and the two of them seemed to have come to an unspoken agreement to treat Han Shuo as their new battleground, as if whoever won him would have defeated the other. As such, they were both extremely warm and affectionate in their treatment of Han Shuo. Han Shuo, of course, enjoyed it, throwing himself happily all the way.

It wasn't until Nambrough's voice was heard that Han Shuo greeted him warmly, saying, "You're welcome, you're welcome.

After Nambrough's arrival, the two girls behaved themselves a bit more and stopped their flirting. Han Shuo knew that Nambrough was the Sergeant Major of the Shero Regiment and someone who carried some weight in War Demon Valley.

"Once we reach War Demon Valley, my friend, I'll treat you with the best hospitality. Hmm, also, if you're interested, I can help introduce you to Lord Crosius," Nambrough said in a very friendly manner. He seemed to have learned some things about Han Shuo from Hemanna and Sylph.

"Well then, thank you very much!" Han Shuo said, well aware that Crosius was the true master of the War Demon Valley. The only way to get useful information about the deeper secrets of the Abyssal Realm, such as Planar Guardians and the like, would be to ask someone like Crosius.

"My lord, how did you come to meet the forces of Venomfang Castle over there?" Hemanna asked Nambrough solemnly, no longer joking or giggling.

The two girls, Hemanna and Sylph, were both highly talented young fighters from the War Demon Valley. Since one of them might have the honour of rising to the rank of Sergeant Major, Nambrough held them in high regard. With a bitter smile he explained, "I was on an expedition to gather medicine on Lord Crosius's orders. I was probably spotted by scouts from Venomfang Castle. On our way back, we encountered three regiments who came to surround us up and exterminate us. Fortunately, we met you and Han Shuo, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to break out of their encirclement.

"So that's the case. Lately, Venomfang Castle seems to have become more cocky. I have heard that they have discovered an interplanar portal in their territory, and that the demon king Golander has sent several powerful fighters to Venomfang Fortress just for this portal. Could it be that the arrival of these warriors has caused them to become so bold?" Sylph, the purple-eyed lady, suddenly remarked after thinking for a moment.

At her words, Han Shuo was greatly shocked. He turned to look at Nambrough to see if he was aware of the news. Han Shuo was finally certain that the cave where the space-time discontinuity zone had appeared was within the sphere of influence of Venomfang Castle. Since Han Shuo had arrived at this plane via the space-time discontinuity, he made sure to pay close attention to any information related to it.

"According to our Intel, this interplanar passage has already been completely destroyed, and those powerful fighters sent by Demon King Golander have most likely gained nothing from it. This is exactly how they wanted to take over the War Demon Valley, so that they would have something to answer Demon King Golander with.

"Hm, but our War Demon Valley has been under the control of Lord Crosius for so many years, and we're not so easy to take care of. Don't worry, Lord Crosius has been planning this for a long time, and we're not afraid of the people of Venomfang Castle," said Nambrough with firm conviction, as he seemed to be in great awe of the master of the War Demon Valley.

"But it's said that the ones sent here this time are Demon King Golander's Shadow Warriors!" Hemanna said in a rather worried tone, frowning. "Shadow warriors! Are you sure they're Shadow Warriors?" Sylph was astonished, and the name seemed to be a big taboo for her, as a flash of fear appeared in her eyes.

Even Nambrough's face turned purple and became rather tense as he said, "That's unlikely, Shadow Warriors are the trump card fighters of Demon King Golander. They wouldn't be sent all the way to Venomfang Castle for something so insubstantial?"

"I learned this from a high-ranking Venomfang demon of Venomfang Castle that I defeated and interrogated a few days ago. It can't be wrong!" Hemanna looked deeply troubled, as if she was also very concerned about the safety of War Demon Valley. It seemed that these Shadow Warriors under the command of Demon King Golander were extremely frightening to her.

"If that's the case, we must return to War Demon Valley as soon as possible. I must tell Lord Crosius. The Shadow Warriors are not only incredibly powerful, but each one of them is a demon of the most depraved order. If they have come to Venomfang Castle, then this time our War Demon Valley will be in real trouble. Nambrough's face was equally grave, even a little fearful. It was obvious that Demon King Golander's Shadow Warriors had a reputation that preceded them.

"Yes, we'd better report to Lord Crosius as soon as possible. If it really is the Shadow Warriors, we must prepare ourselves. At the very least, Crosius must report this to Black Jade City," Hemanna's voice was heavy as she nodded.

Black Jade City was the home of the great demon king Manticole, something Han Shuo was well aware of. Hemanna's words made it clear that she was not optimistic about the current strength of the War Demon Valley and hoped that Crosius could ask his master Manticole for help.

"If it really is the Shadow Warriors, I'm afraid we may be too late!" Nambrough sighed, and then quickly added, "Return to the valley at your earliest convenience, I must report this to Lord Crosius immediately.
