lighthouse with the guard standing in front of it. The lighthouse
guard pulls out a sword and takes out the evil. The archer also took
out some. There was one evil left, and he ran back to the base. The

They have more men to attack this time.
While the evil are planning, Archer and the guard surprise attack.
Archer throws a huge bomb that blows up all the evil.
