Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

At this stage, no one can imagine how brutal the war is.

The brave warriors paved their way with blood, fought with their lives, and were determined to die to defeat those invincible enemies!

【Shiro the Mad Blade】is their hero.

When they are exhausted and choose to perish together with the demons, the heroes that come to mind are the ones they have to fight!

When they think of Hilo, they are reminded of their own identity.

Yes!

They are heroes.

They are fearless warriors! Warriors who are not afraid of death!

For the future of humanity! For the destruction of the demon race!

What does this life even mean?!

Joking aside, Jiu An Yi wouldn't look down on those predecessors who truly risked their lives in the Demon Extermination 4.

Moreover, this is someone like Hilo, who had a huge influence in the entire war between humans and demons in his previous life.

Of course, she wasn't the only hero in the war, but that's another story.

Thanks to the two "archmages" Lycorina and Hisslinn, they encountered no trouble on their way to the depths of the city.

Moreover, deep within the city, one can occasionally see some demons that are similar in size to humans.

Given their size, they must have a relatively high level of magic power among the demons, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been able to stay in this place for even a second.

The roads on the outskirts of the city are full of potholes, and there are hardly any good roads.

However, once you get deeper into the city, perhaps closer to where the nobles live, the ground becomes noticeably flatter, and there are far fewer large demons.

In the early stages, it's basically an ironclad rule that larger size means less magic power.

The demons you encounter in the early stages all have some weaknesses. Even the seemingly omnipotent demon race has a weakness because its attributes are too balanced.

If none of them excels, the hero's attributes will definitely overwhelm them in the early stages.

Those with strong physiques have less magic power, while those with more magic power have weak physiques.

Those who are physically strong and possess abundant magical power are unlikely to appear in border cities like this.

Not long after entering the inner city, An Yi quickly noticed something very conspicuous.

A huge sign was placed on one side of the street.

"Huh? I don't think I've seen this thing before on the outskirts of the city?" Lycorina noticed it immediately as well.

Although she couldn't read the words, she immediately understood that it was something like a bulletin board.

After all, there aren't any giant billboards like that in this world.

"Mr. Karl, can you understand the demonic script on it?" Hissline looked at An Yi with some doubt.

An Yi didn't reply, but instead widened her eyes slightly and stared at the words on it.

On the bulletin board, a line of large characters was prominently displayed—

Congratulations, Baron Ferdinand, on capturing the demonic criminal, Irene of the Storm!

3 He stood quietly, countless images flashing through his mind, and two words slipped from his slightly parted lips;

"master?"

"Huh? Annie, what did you just say?" Lycorina didn't hear clearly.

An Yi snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "It's nothing."

However, this reminded us that we should learn the demon race's script and find a place where we can read books.

“Okay!” Lycorina nodded excitedly.

Xislinn didn't hear what An Yi said, but she didn't ask any further questions.

They found a place that looked like a bookstore, and Lycorina pulled a seemingly easy-going, 1.8-meter-tall demon child aside and made him read the contents of a book, then let the system automatically analyze and translate the text.

After all, they can already speak, so learning written language through the system is also very fast.

Although An Yi was listening to the child reading, her mind had already wandered elsewhere.

He got it.

I understand everything now.

Why was Hiro of the Mad Blade able to meet a level six demon? Why was she able to kill the Sword Demon who should have been in the mansion?

Why did the Sword Demon suddenly appear on the street at that time?

Why were the three of them able to escape alive when surrounded by a group of level-five demons?

Now, An Yiquan understood.

The unrecorded history of the past is now being revealed!

Because [Ereph the Storm] is here!

Let's review everything that has happened during this period.

Before Hilo slayed the demons surrounding the city, the Sword Demon captured a wanted demon criminal.

【Ereph of the Storm】is a powerful elf who, at this point in time, has been exhausted after a long pursuit by the demons.

Just as she was about to escape beyond the demon realm, she was besieged by the Sword Demon Lu, a group of level six demons from the demon border, and was eventually captured by the demons. ∑∫

An Yi knew that after the demons captured the wanted criminals, they needed to notify the royal servants to come and receive them.

Once the identity of the wanted criminal is confirmed and they are handed over to the Demon King's castle, the Demon King will bestow a corresponding reward.

A demon that submits its work individually will receive a reward and can evolve three levels higher.

If the lord surrenders, the entire territory will receive a buff, and the lord himself will also receive some of the rewards he desires.

The latter is a joyous occasion that the entire territory should know about!

If nothing unexpected happens, this bulletin board is likely building momentum for the upcoming entry of the wanted criminal into the city!

But... an accident happened.

At that very moment, Hilo killed several level-three demons, which alerted the Sword Demon.

It doesn't matter who captures the criminal; whoever hands them over to the Demon King's castle is the one who will ultimately receive the reward.

Having just finished besieging Irene, the Sword Demon's territory must be severely weakened.

At this point in time, lords of other territories are very likely to seize the person.

The assassin who suddenly appeared may have been mistaken by the Sword Demon for a warrior sent by another lord.

This is why we need to be more vigilant.

The eight heroes have been in the city for some time now, but the wanted criminal has not yet been brought into the city in a grand manner.

So, when will the other party come in?

Very simple.

Three days later!

If we calculate based on the timeline of the previous life...

The four of them, including Hilo, entered the city a day earlier than in this life.

Seventh, because they lost a day of training and practice time.

It's highly likely that they entered the city a day too early, before the city gates had even begun their search, so they were able to enter the city without An Yi's help.

The key question is what comes next.

Liu Jincheng and his three companions, including Xiluo, did not understand the language or script of the demon race, nor did they know anything about the "assassin".

After reuniting with the other humans, they discovered that the city had suddenly become heavily guarded, so they remained hidden in the city and did not dare to investigate too much.

However, regardless of whether they arrive early or late, the escort of the wanted criminals into the city will begin three days later due to the appearance of the "assassin".

Three days later, Xiluo's team discovered that the demons in the city had suddenly formed a long queue, stretching from the city gate all the way into the depths of the city.

They stood in two rows on the road, as if welcoming something.

Next, the four members of Hilo's team will see a prison van carrying criminals approaching.

The demons began to cheer.

Inside the prison cart was a woman with long golden hair and pointed ears. Because she was not a demon, her character profile was not unlocked.

The prison cart was surrounded by demons of level five or higher, and some were even level six!

Anyone with a modicum of sense would know that the prisoners being escorted by so many "high-ranking" demons must be extremely powerful figures!

And without a doubt, the culprit must be an enemy of the demon race!

At this moment, after lying in wait in the demon realm for many days without any success, Hilo's team made a decision—

Kidnapping!

Undoubtedly, this was a very dangerous decision.

However, if they can successfully release this powerful prisoner, he could very well become a significant asset to humanity in its fight against the demons!

In their past lives, their mission was also to gather intelligence, but what could provide more information than a wanted demon criminal?

Most importantly, regardless of whether the other party is friend or foe, they will definitely cause trouble for the demons!

If they are friends, then we can use them to kill a large number of demons and at the same time obtain information from them.

If they are enemies, then the first thing they will do when they appear is to deal with the other demons around them.

The result was obvious: the four small figures, hiding among the demons, were able to destroy the wooden cage prison cart with a full-force attack from either Hilo or Airo.

The prison cart was engraved with special magic circles to restrict the use of magic, and there were also chains to restrict the prisoners' movements.

However, the prison van itself was not very sturdy.

Once the prison cart is destroyed, the magic circle will be disabled, and the prisoners will be able to use magic again, at which point the chains will only serve a decorative purpose.

An Yi had also rescued demon prisoners, so he knew.
