The demons' corpses lay scattered across the wilderness, only to be quickly burned by humans, turning into a pile of black ash.
It was as if nothing had happened, except for a pile of ashes.
The newly appointed Sword Demon Lord had heard of human abilities before, after all, the entire Sword Demon City had been almost wiped out at that time.
But when it sent out its own army, thinking that the army would not be killed as easily as ordinary civilians, it began to regret it.
The army didn't even encounter any humans; they were all wiped out halfway there! @＇〇《＄
It's said that a new broom sweeps clean, and this first broom almost killed him.
Having suffered yet another major setback, the Sword Demon Lord finally reined in his ambitions and chose to focus on protecting the city before launching an attack on the enemy. But then…
A woman with a knife cleaved open the city gate with a single stroke, slaughtering thousands of the city's defense troops.
The city gate was flung open, and several humans with incredibly powerful magic entered, unleashing large-scale destructive magic.
If you don't bother humans, you'll be fine.
If you offend humans, they'll just come in and slaughter the entire city.
The Sword Demon Lord was completely dumbfounded by this series of actions.
The new broom sweeps clean again, and this second act of his has set a deep scorching fire on his heart.
As if to intimidate them, the humans quickly returned to the fortress.
"Report it! It must be reported!"
This was the first thought that popped into the Sword Demon's mind after being struck twice.
It must be reported to the Viscount!
These humans are too strong!!
Before the report was submitted, the one who should have been sweating profusely was the Sword Demon Baron.
However, after the news was reported, it was a certain demon viscount who was sweating profusely.
We already knew how powerful humans were last time, but judging from the information we got from the Baron...
Are they even more powerful now?
In the past, the humans who slaughtered cities did so in large groups, but now a few have come and almost destroyed a quarter of the city.
The city facing the human fortress was directly reduced to ruins.
The task issued by the Marquis above is to attack and take down this human fortress!
It seems we can't rely on just one baron!
Now, the only option is to mobilize all the lower-ranking nobles under his command to attack the fortress from different directions.
So it issued an order to its barons at the same time—
Go and destroy the human fortress.
When the barons received the news, almost all of them had the same thought pop into their minds...
"To conquer a human fortress, me?"
They all knew that the nearby Sword Demon City had been massacred.
Back then, the guys were gloating, but now it's their turn.
What can we do?
Let's just grit our teeth and fight!
I don't know where humans got such great abilities. Back then, these species were not even as good as pikas, and they could beat them however they wanted.
But now, every baron has to think twice before trying to harm humans...
Thinking about it also takes time.
When Silvermoon Fortress discovered that the demons intended to attack it, it immediately began mobilizing heroes from the surrounding areas.
Without a doubt, this was the beginning of a major disaster.
Two weeks have passed, and the barons have already made their plans and are launching an attack on the fortress from different directions.
Some wanted to flank the fortress and cut off its resources, while others wanted to launch a feint attack on other vulnerable areas, forcing the fortress to mobilize its main fighting force.
Some chose to attack head-on, sending a large group of demons to hurl fireballs at the fortress.
Some, however, wanted to start with the water source and poison all the humans in the search fortress.
Solve the problem so far;
All the cities of the participating nobles fell, and the heroes crushed the demons' city walls from different directions.
Several barons died on the battlefield, their bodies impaled in the center of the square.
Putting aside commoners, whether it's the army or the nobles, they are all powerless against the brave.
Even a level 6 or 7 lord would almost be killed by a large-area spell.
The demons suffered a crushing defeat.
Complete defeat!
The demons lost vast territories, and the viscounts who had lost significant lands reported this to their superiors, the marquises.
[A narrow defeat.]
Yeah, we almost won.
The viscount firmly believed that he could protect his city with his own strength.
As for the territories lost by the barons, they can only wait to be gradually recovered in the future.
To the Viscount's surprise, the humans did not continue their advance deeper into the territory; perhaps they were also on guard.
However, what it didn't know was...
The moment Hilo's team stepped into the Demon Viscount's Domain, a notification appeared in front of them from the system.
[Rank B Dungeon: Black Raven City]
Mission objective: Capture the city (0/1)
Killed the Black-feathered Raven Demon (0/1)
Recommended by: 100+
Recommended level: Lv100~Lv300
The long-haired female swordswoman stood atop the towering ruins, gazing into the distance at the colossal city with its dark walls.
It was like a mountain, rows of giant walls filling her field of vision.
Hilo gripped the large knife tightly in his hand.
This city... is not yet safe to enter!
Not enough, the level is far from sufficient!
She was only at level 100, while the highest recommended level in the city in front of her was 300!
In other words, the most powerful creature inside requires at least a level 300 team to defeat!
Moreover, there are definitely more demons around this guy that require a hero of level 200 or higher to defeat!
Level 100 is barely enough to deal with the commoners!
It's not the right time... it's not the right time yet!
If the strongest warrior in the city were to come out to fight, then all the heroes present, including her, would die on the battlefield!
Not everyone can trigger the conditions to use special abilities, and not every hero's special ability can instantly kill the opponent.
Now is not the time to set foot in this city!
"Let's go back and ask that silly elf first."
"withdraw troops!!"
Chapter 159 Lycorina (Pain Mask): "...It doesn't taste good" (4k)
Hilo wasn't the only one to notice the anomaly in Black Raven City; many other adventurers also entered the city and received similar notifications.
While the infiltration of demons across all of humanity's territory was still underway, Silvermoon Fortress had already received the worst... news.
If we follow the normal pace of exploration by adventurers, it will probably take at least another two weeks before we find it.
It has been discovered that humanity is currently far from reaching the level of a viscount capable of defeating demons.
Although this intelligence has been sent to various parts of the world at an expedited pace, the group of heroes who set out from the Empire of Hope should not receive it until next week.
Because once night falls, the highly agile warriors will have to return to the demon territory to bring necessary supplies to the other warriors.
We didn't set off very early in the morning, since we still needed to predict the location of [Wu Xiang].
It wasn't until noon that it was finished, but by then it was too late to relay the information to Silvermoon Fortress.
It was night again, and the highly agile warriors entered the city under the cover of darkness, returning to the temporary stronghold of the other warriors.
In addition to a brand-new scroll made by believers, there was also a map book that believers worked overtime to create.
Although the maps brought back from the demons were already detailed enough, the believers used those maps as a basis to create even more detailed maps.
This map is not just for reference; it needs to be modified in real time by the adventurers.
If anything is found to be wrong, it is immediately corrected in the atlas and then brought back to the Hero Alliance in the next supply.
The believers kept recording and refining the records, and the cities the heroes passed through became almost transparent with each record.
For the demons, it's like they've already figured out all the passages to their homeland before the enemy even appears.
However, the strategic significance of the map is not just about bombing and massacring cities; destroying low-level demon cities is currently of no use at all.
Many battle records show that even if the strongholds of low-level demons are destroyed, ordinary humans cannot take them over.
The orcs were already struggling to occupy the forests, let alone go to cities they were completely unfamiliar with.
The key is that the heroes can use these detailed maps to establish more strongholds among the demons.
It appears to be a border city of demons, but in reality...
