Chapter 93: Paradoxical Warning
The city specifications of demons are generally large because there are many huge races among demons.
So the city that appeared in front of Jing Yuanming and others at this moment was quite large. Although it was just a small town on the border, it was also about 50 kilometers in size, and was surrounded by tall and strong walls.
The city gates were opened and there was not much tight warning. However, the whole city was filled with a depressing and solemn atmosphere, and there were no pedestrians on the roads around the city.
I don’t know if it was late at night and the demons were all asleep.
Because of the space, Jing Yuanming and the others could not get into the city by pretending to be able to get into the city.
So they chose to break through in a scattered manner, each chose its own location, and climbed over the city wall and entered the city.
Secret Operation is the project this team is best at.
Seeing his subordinates disappear at the foot of the city wall one by one, Jing Yuanming nodded with satisfaction, and then he stood up and set off.
The defensive forces on the city wall are a bit dense, but since the city defense system has not been activated yet, it is no threat to Jing Yuanming.
It seems that this place is loose on the outside and tight on the inside... Jing Yuanming was thinking in his mind, is something happening?
He couldn't help but think of the abandoned villages he saw during the investigation these days, as well as the unmanned base at Dawn Gate.
Although I don’t know the organization of the city guards in the Demon Realm, Jing Yuanming intuitively realized that the number of demon warriors in Drew City was obviously larger. The number of demons at the centurion level that appeared on the city was beyond the level that this city should have...even if this is a paramilitary fortress city.
Because the proportion of the upper demons here is really high!
The city defense system has not been turned on, and it seems that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is "covering" the abnormality here.
Without alarming any demon warriors on duty, Jing Yuanming sneaked all the way, walked down the stairs on the back of the city wall almost "openly" and finally arrived inside the city.
The moment he came down, he was discovered - he was the other team members who came in earlier.
The high-quality level of this team ensures that everyone can sneak into the city smoothly, but the exaggerated and deformed defensive forces here have to gather them together again.
At this time, the team members gathered again at the foot of the city wall and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Sure enough, something is wrong..." Jing Yuanming said, "It seems that the city cannot be used. Since this is the case, it is enough to leave half of the people here. The rest will return to the outside of the city to pick us up."
The demon hunters were not in a bad state, and immediately divided into two teams, five of whom returned to the city wall again.
Jing Yuanming took the remaining witch hunters to explore the inside of the city.
The demons' houses and buildings are generally large, similar to the style of this city, giving the witch hunters walking there the illusion of coming to the Kingdom of Adults.
But the advantage is that it makes them more convenient for concealment.
The patrol soldiers coming and going on the streets were even more dense. After passing through less than three streets, Jing Yuanming and the others saw sixteen patrol teams - fully armed and at least one centurion-led leader!
On the contrary, no civilian demons appeared on the streets at all.
The witch hunters scattered and soon gathered to Jing Yuanming to report on the situation they found.
"It seems that the original residents of this city are staying at home and not coming out..." Jing Yuanming summed up the information, "I don't think these demons are sleeping at home. There must be something that restricts them from going out."
"It must be because of the patrol team on the street! Most of the Neil clans or blood clans living in the eastern border cities of the Canyang Realm are the Neil clans or the blood clans." Jing Yuanming recalled the information in his mind, "But in the patrol team I just saw, including the demon warriors on the city wall, many of the high-ranking demon races are feather demons!"
"So, this city was occupied by another demon legion—the possibility is the greatest." Jing Yuanming rubbed his chin, "a legion dominated by feather demons."
"And it's a very powerful legion...at least they are numerous!" someone added.
This is not a good goal!
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "To be honest, if I remember correctly, it is said that the leader of the Eagle Demon clan, Zoni Charles, should have been guarding the Dawn Gate!"
In an instant, all the clues were connected in an instant, and all the abnormalities were explained.
Jing Yuanming thought for a moment and immediately ordered one person to leave the city and send the information back to the base camp of the Expeditionary Force. The remaining five people were dispersed to inquire as much as possible for more information, but they were not allowed to rashly go further.
"You just need to investigate on the periphery. The main purpose is to ensure that our retreat passage is unobstructed." Jing Yuanming said, "As for the city center... I will go and investigate it myself!"
Before he finished speaking, Jing Yuanming's figure had already taken a step back, and the shadow behind him gradually disappeared.
The more you go to the center of the city, the more you are guarding. Five steps, one pavilion and ten steps, a patrol team composed of elite demon warriors patrol along the streets almost without interruption.
There are also high-ranking demons guarding the surrounding buildings, monitoring every corner of the city without blind spots.
Countless magic circles are hidden in the streets and houses, ready to go.
Extremely martial law, but extremely cautious...
Are they also afraid of something? Are they worried about being discovered?
Jing Yuanming couldn't understand the situation in this city.
The overly tense atmosphere and strict prevention measures in the city made Jing Yuanming feel heavy pressure.
It was time to test my skills. Jing Yuanming licked his lips, reached out to hold the dagger on his waist, and slowly let go.
His breath converged again until there was no trace of it leaking out, and his sense of existence was reduced to the limit. Now Jing Yuanming stood openly in the middle of the street, and the pedestrians passing by would subconsciously ignore him.
So Jing Yuanming continued to go deeper, moving towards the core area of the city without leaving any trace.
The leader of thousands of men, the leader of thousands of men, the leader of thousands of men... the leader of the devil!
While walking, Jing Yuanming counted the number of high-ranking demons he found. Perhaps because of the concentration of all the demons in this area, there were particularly many high-ranking demons in Drew City.
Especially the feather demon species, the proportion of high-level demons is simply abnormal!
There were even auras of at least three commanding demons!
This is absolutely abnormal! The devil commander is also known as the "little devil king" and the "quasi-devil king", so the number is absolutely rare.
If it is really the Feather Demon Legion under the command of Zonnie, then there is only one demon leader - that is Zonnie Charles himself.
It is impossible for the same legion to be equipped with two or more demon commanders!
"It seems that the beheading and assassination operation can be cancelled..."
Moreover, there is another hidden but even stronger aura in the city. If Jing Yuanming had not been born to be good at perception, he would probably not be able to feel this aura.
It was a power that was not a magic power, and it was almost completely different from the demon race. It was also huge in number, and I didn’t know where it was hidden.
This made Jing Yuanming more cautious and dare not act rashly.
There are many races in the Demon World, so Jing Yuanming dared not confirm what those alternative auras were and how powerful they were.
All unknowns can only be witnessed with your own eyes.
Gradually approaching the defense circle, Jing Yuanming became more and more relaxed.
For some reason, the demon legion here is stubborn and unwilling to use magic to assist defense, relying solely on the numerical advantage to make up for the shortcomings of the surveillance and defense circle, but this is almost unprepared for Jing Yuanming!
So he easily sneaked into the square in the center of the city - this seemed to be the source of all abnormalities.
Chapter completed!
