Apocalypse Regression's

Night Battle

Huginn and Muninn made a chirp as they flew towards the Ark.

The young man looked at the two white crows with a calm expression on his face. Glancing at Roxanne and her comrades, she said.

“You come with me.” Turning his gaze towards the two white crows, he continued, “Take us to that place.”

Huginn and Muninn swirled in the sky for a while. They chirped for a while and left. Flying is not too fast, but it is also not slow.

Ark, Roxanne, and the assassins immediately followed the two crows.

After passing through the forest and some small rivers, they finally arrived at the location.

They saw a large river and a high cliff in front of them. At the top of the cliff wall, it looks a natural cave with a large size.

Observing the cave, Ark's eyes narrowed. After thinking for a moment, he said.

“We're back.”

“Eh?” Roxanne and her colleagues were shocked.

“Is there a problem?” ask Ark flat.

“I'm sorry if it's disrespectful, Sir. However ... do we not check the place?”

“This river is dangerous, it can not be passed just like that. That's also why we don't choose the way through it. While the cave on the cliff ..” Ark raised the corner of his lips. “It will be in vain if I finish off the occupants alone.”

Ark could have flown to the cave to check, but chose not to because from the clues, he knew what was there.

“...”

Roxanne and her comrades did not dare to refute at all. Whether it was dangerous or not, they chose to obey the chairman's arrangements.

“We're back to get ready soon. Tonight will be crowded.”

After saying that, Ark immediately made a loud whistle. Huggin and Muninn looked at each other for a moment. After a while, the two finally left the place.

Ark leads Roxanne and her comrades back to the camp.

Arriving at the location, Ark immediately flicked his finger. His voice was very loud, making the people who finished setting up the tent or were cooking turn their heads. They were all used to the code from the chairman.

To communicate with the pets, Ark usually uses whistles. As for summoning troops, he usually flicked his fingers hard. It was better than spreading the intense pressure that caused people to fear.

However, many people were confused as to how Ark could make a loud noise with a snap of a finger. Many tried it, but no one managed to imitate it.

Seeing the people turning towards him, Ark instantly gave an advantage.

“Knight, get some rest. Chefs, finish cooking. After dinner, everyone had to prepare for battle. Tonight ...

We're going to have guests. So we must welcome them with festivity.”

Hearing Ark's words, people's expressions instantly became bad. They are becoming more bleak than ever.

According to the experience of those people, what made Ark smile a little was something dangerous for them. Although there had been no casualties, once the chairman said that sentence, they had to fight it out, it could even be seriously injured.

So, rather than being happy, the atmosphere instantly became heavy and solemn.

***

Her night.

Usually, dinner is the moment most people wait for. However, now their expressions were not as bright as usual. Holding the bowl while looking at the soup with a few pieces of wild vegetables and meat, they quietly sighed.

After eating, everyone immediately took their supplies.

Wear chest, hands, and feet protection. Tie the belt tightly, making sure the sword hanging on the left side of the waist does not fall. Bring a round shield in the left hand and a sword/spear in the right hand, then prepare for battle.

People lined up neatly around the camp. They kept watching the surroundings with serious expressions. However, the expressions of the soldiers changed when they saw Roxanne and a few other assassins looking up at the star-filled sky.

‘Don't say ..’

Waiting for some time, they did not listen at all to any sound, except the wind that blew the trees. In fact, there was no sound of insects.

That night ... was completely silent.

Nearly two hours passed, but nothing happened. At that moment, everyone began to suspect that the information from the chairman was wrong. Unless some people were close to Ark and trusted him deeply, the rest started to hesitate.

Just then, another voice sounded. Seeing that nothing had emerged from the forest, the people immediately gazed towards the sky like before.

In the sky, hundreds of pairs of red eyes appeared and gazed towards the soldiers.

‘Truly air attack!’

The soldiers shouted in their hearts. They can't help but complain.

To the soldiers, the air strikes were clearly a great disadvantage to them. Of the 200 people, less than half could use a bow. Not to mention, there were only 50 bows being brought and arrows should not be wasted.

“Take a bow and arrow!”

Jay's screams were heard. The workers instantly took out bows as well as arrows to give to the knights.

Just then, Ark's voice sounded.

“Be careful not to get bitten or even splashed with blood. If you are not careful, you may lose one or more body parts.”

The cold speech not only made the soldiers uninspired, but also felt more depressed than before.

Right then, people finally saw the form of their opponents.

Their enemy is a herd of black bats of great size. The body of a jet-black bat with long, dirty fur all over its body. The creature had blood-red eyes and long sharp fangs.

The Tainted Blood Bat.

That is how the creature is called. They are an evolutionary type of vampire bat that likes to suck blood.

Ordinary vampire bats were harmless, but also somewhat terrifying. The creatures usually settle and suck the blood of livestock or humans.

Not to kill them, but the bite marks will continue to bleed and difficult to heal. In addition, vampire bats can make their prey not feel when the blood is sucked.

While mutated creatures from vampire bats are more dangerous.

Tainted Blood Bat also sucks the blood of its prey. However, they did not sneak around at all, instead attacking aggressively. Worse, they are so greedy that they suck the blood of their prey to dry.

Not only sucked his blood to death, his prey will also suffer tremendous pain when bitten. It seems the opposite of a normal vampire bat that is arguably ‘mut’ compared to its ferocious and terrible-looking mutation.

Swooshes!

Looking at the hundreds of blood bats that swooped down, descending like meteors, the soldiers raised their shields.

Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!

Many blood bats smashed into the shield violently, but did not care at all. They immediately flew up, then charged back towards the soldiers.

“Kill them all!” scream Jay.

Following Jay's shout, everyone immediately attacked ferociously. However, something they had not expected happened at all.

By the time they slashed the blood bat, there was no heavy resistance as they thought.

It was just that, when they were off guard, blood splashed onto their shields, clothes, and skin. When it comes to gear or clothing, absolutely nothing happens. However, when the bat's blood hit the skin, a hissing sound instantly sounded.

The expressions of the people turned pale when they saw their body parts being damaged when exposed to corrosive liquids. Some of the soldiers even shouted as blood splashed onto their faces.

Seeing the waves of blood bats back on the attack, the soldiers bellowed furiously inwardly.

‘These damned beasts!’
