Moving along the broken road for a stretch, reaching not far from the castle, Lu Ren slowly halted his steps, watching the three humanoid figures sitting by the campfire ahead, dressed in full steel armor.
They can indeed only be called humanoid; these beings lifted their visors and were slowly devouring corpses of their kind, their eyes appearing murky, almost devoid of consciousness.
Lu Ren looked up at the sunset gradually setting in the west, and another companion moon slowly rising on the other side.
This satellite was relatively close; one could see the impact craters from meteors with the naked eye, the whole being about five or six stories tall.
Perhaps sensing Lu Ren's movements, several steel-armored soldiers made a deep growl-like sound from their throats, closed their visors, stood up, unsheathed their steel swords, and charged at Lu Ren with their long halberds.
