As for why sturdier materials weren't used, it's simply because the wood used for the prison carts was a special magical tree, and other materials hadn't yet been technologically advanced enough.
Having destroyed the prison van, Irene began to retaliate.
With a wave of her hand, she could instantly kill a large group of level three or four demons, scaring the surrounding demons into fleeing in all directions.
Meanwhile, the level 5 or 6 demons began to suppress her with all their might, probably even using some special magical artifacts.
Just then, the Sword Demon arrived.
Looking at the opponent's exaggerated attributes, there should only be one word in the minds of the Hilo team...
run!
Run quickly!
That's an enemy they can't defeat!
However, the prisoner was already weak and was in a precarious situation under the siege of level five or six demons.
If the Sword Demon is allowed to join the battle at this point, the prisoner will surely die!
Furthermore, their sudden attack has already revealed their strength and physical characteristics.
If they escape, all the work done so far will be for nothing.
Moreover, it will probably be even more difficult for humans to infiltrate this city in the future.
They have to go all out!
Bring this powerful aid back to human territory!
So, Shiloh made his move.
She faced the sword demon alone and perished alongside him.
The three or five people who were assisting from the sidelines witnessed Qi's death, and then Lu was forced to flee.
Unfortunately, they did not bring the prisoner back.
Elaev fought and ran, and by the time they realized what was happening, they had already flown to the other side of the city.
And when the humans saw Irene again...
That is now a story belonging to the swordsman.
At night, back at the human underground stronghold, Lycorina and Hisslin learned some of the demon language.
Naturally, the message on the bulletin board was also told to them by a demon child.
and so……
"Now I know why they care so much about that killer!"
Because in a few days, a wanted demon criminal will be sent to this city!
Lycorina said this.
Chapter 155 Begging? What begging?
“In a few days, a wanted demon will be sent to this city!” Lycorina said.
Layton: "Beggar? What beggar?"
“He’s an important prisoner,” Hilo reminded him with a smile, crossing his arms like a senior.
"So... they're not protecting anyone important, but preventing accidents from happening while escorting prisoners?" Airo realized.
"But how did you know?" Hilo couldn't help but ask.
"They posted the information about the prisoners to be transported on a large bulletin board."
"We couldn't read, so we went to learn how to read the demon script," Lycorina explained.
“I see…” Sephie frowned in thought. “If that’s the case, then everything makes sense.”
When Hilo went to kill the demons, the prisoners had not yet been brought in. After he finished killing them, they were worried that Hilo was an accomplice of the prisoners, so they hesitated to bring him into the city.
Because it was announced to the public in advance, a large number of people will definitely gather at that time.
If Wu starts fighting in the city, it will inevitably affect civilians.
Ao An Yi: "..."
It can only be said that they are still used to guessing about the demon race in a human way.
What does it matter if it affects civilians? The deaths of a few hundred or even a thousand civilians are nothing.
So what if 20,000 or 30,000 die? It's not a big deal. As long as the prisoners are handed over, the residents of other territories will come and help them reproduce.
"Then why don't you just tell people not to gather?" Layton asked.
"Hmph! Nobles can give up anything, but they can't lose face!"
2. "We agreed to catch the serious criminal. If we go back on our word, how can we save face in front of the public?!"
Hilo snorted coldly, recalling some unpleasant memories.
Airo seemed thoughtful: "Face..."
Yes, Her Highness is right. They will be bringing in prisoners in a few days.
Even if it's not in the next few days, it won't be delayed for too long.
Hilo is right. If this drags on too long, the demon nobles will lose face.
Saifei stood up, her petite frame almost the same height as when she was sitting: "I think..."
We're all thinking the same thing, aren't we?
“I have a very bold idea!” Shiloh exclaimed excitedly, then crossed his arms and shook his head. “But I won’t say it, because you’ll all try to persuade me to calm down anyway.”
“No, this time we might act as impulsively as you did,” Airo smiled.
"Oh!" Lycorina exclaimed excitedly, "It seems everyone thinks the same way I do!"
Well! My answer is—
"Take them away!"
“Me too!” Shiloh slammed his hand on the table.
Sephiroth chuckled lightly: "Heh, the demons don't even know we exist right now."
Therefore, it would be impossible for them to anticipate our attack.
Since he is a prisoner who absolutely does not want to be taken away, he must be an important figure to the demons.
Saving him will definitely bring unexpected benefits!
"I object, it's too dangerous."
Just then, a calm voice came from the side.
Surprisingly, Annie actually took the initiative to object.
In the past, no matter what choice everyone made, he would always say "whatever".
Of course, An Yi wasn't really against it.
He was just testing.
To test whether these people are overestimating themselves or already have a plan in mind.
"I agree with what Annie said, it's too risky," Layton raised his hand.
Yomi Luko agreed, but she remained silent.
Si An Yi continued, "We don't know the enemy's exact strength, the size of the enemy, or even the identities of the prisoners."
If we manage to capture the enemy's forces, but we are also forced to lose personnel, what should we do if the gains and losses are disproportionate?
This is the territory of the demons, not a place we can come and go as we please.
"Any demon present at that time might attack us."
"Then we can just run away if we can't beat them." Hilo shrugged.
However, after she blurted it out, everyone fell silent.
Everyone was lost in thought, and the room fell silent.
Shiloh: "???"
Did I say something I shouldn't have?
"This... everyone say something! Did I say something wrong?!" Shiloh exclaimed anxiously.
“No, I think you’re right,” Airo said solemnly. “Mr. Carl reminded me as well…”
We were a bit too hasty.
We should have been better prepared.
Saifei nodded deeply: "Yes."
"Then... shall we investigate for two days?" Shiloh thought to herself that it was good that she hadn't been silent because of him, so she spoke up again.
Lycorina nodded: "Okay, let's investigate for two days first, at least to confirm the identity of the criminal before making a decision?"
“And we also need to develop an escape plan,” Saifi said.
"It would be best to also determine the ambush location," Airo nodded.
"Ugh! This is so troublesome!" Hilo scratched his head and said impatiently, "Like this!"
If we don't get a result by then, we'll just retreat, okay?
Anyway, our mission is already accomplished.
Immediately, everyone's attention turned to Shiloh.
Hilo looked around irritably: "What's wrong?"
Airo's lips twitched: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect the word 'retreat' to come out of your mouth."
Lycorina chuckled dryly and said, "Well... usually it's me, Liu, who talks more than I do."
Hilo glanced at Sislin, who was looking at him, then snorted and turned his face away;
