Chapter 23

“Do not open the city gates!”

The young man’s shout caused the militia under him to stop their actions and look at each other.

“If there is a loophole in the castle’s defense, can you guarantee that you can push back the demons by yourselves?”

The militia quickly expressed that they could not.

The hunting squad that the Lord had brought out was already the strongest combat force in the territory. They had already lost about seventy to eighty percent of their forces in the wild, not to mention the militia that had been in charge of gathering.

They were absolutely no match for the demons.

“We can only rely on the castle’s defense to increase our strength. We can only continue living when the demons go away!”

“As for the person outside, I clearly ordered him to cover the rear, but he was afraid of death and lured the demons here, putting everyone in the territory in danger. He’s simply a traitor!”

The more the young man spoke, the more agitated he became.. “He is simply the public enemy of our territory!”

“Captain!”

He called the militia captain, and the captain quickly stood up to respond.

“Sir, what orders do you have?”

“Shoot him, shoot that shameless traitor!”

The captain did not resist. He took a new bow and arrow and stood on the city tower.

The soldier below also saw that the captain was holding a bow and arrow, aiming at them.

“F*ck you!”

Before he finished his sentence, an arrow was shot, and the soldier died on the spot.

The captain shot another arrow at the demons and successfully hit one of them.

[ Congratulations to your subjects: The militia captain has learned the bow and arrow skill, Double Shot! ]

Hearing this news, the young man became happy again.

“I didn’t expect that it was really a blessing in disguise. The militia captain actually learned the skill!”

The demons outside the castle probably couldn’t break through the castle, so they slowly retreated and disappeared into the forest.

The young man finally let out a long breath. He had really encountered a great crisis.

His heart was filled with anger and regret. He didn’t expect that a mere level-six demon plus four level-four or five miscellaneous soldiers would be so strong and so difficult to deal with.

The more he thought about it, the angrier the young man suddenly had an idea. Just because he could not defeat it did not mean that others could not defeat it as well. Perhaps he could join forces with the other lords nearby to fight against the demons together.

Perhaps there were even more powerful existences among the demons that belonged to wild bosses.

Having made up his mind, he opened the world channel and sent a message.

[ Important message: A special monster has appeared in the Dark Forest. It is a demon race, an elite monster! Killing it will definitely give a large amount of experience and various rewards. The nearby lords should contact me immediately. Everyone should form an alliance to kill the demons and protect the world. The chances of obtaining rewards are limited! Everyone, hurry up and act! ]

His message instantly caused the world channel to explode.

After all, no one had ever discovered any special monsters before.

Countless lords were thinking about how to gather information.

Demons!

The legendary terrifying, strange, and powerful creatures!

[ It’s a demon. Does anyone dare to do justice for the Heavens? ]

[ It’s definitely an existence that’s hard to kill. Otherwise, the Lord would have dealt with it himself. ]

[ Right, the demon’s strength is at least level 7 or higher! ]

[ Even if we were to kill the demons, we would have to lose at least a dozen elite soldiers just for a reward. Is that really worth it? ]

[ Yeah, it takes a long time and resources to train a dozen soldiers! ]

[ In such a long time, other than big brother Joey who killed the giant eagle, no one has killed a commander-level monster! ]

[ Moreover, the demons sound much stronger than the giant eagle, okay! ]

[ Speaking of which, is there a possibility that we can subdue demons as our subordinates? ]

[ Subdue demons? You think you’re some kind of God King, don’t you? You’ve played with too many mystical treasures! ]

[ I think it’s more practical to think about whether or not a god weapon will explode. ]

[ I want to kill demons! Unfortunately, I’m not in the Dark Forest Region! ]

[ Haha, I think this might be the leader of a special region in our forest region! ]

[ F*ck, why wasn’t I born in the Dark Forest?! ]

[ But to be honest, are demons really existences that can be easily provoked? ]

[ Casually provoking a demon, aren’t you afraid of the destruction of your city? ]

[ I think I’ll only dare to fight a level-7 demon when my subordinates are level-10! ]

[ Right, no matter what game it is, wild bosses are not to be trifled with… ]

[ I suggest you be careful, don’t let greed get the better of you! ]

[ In the era of great strategy, only by going through the toughest can you become a King! ]

[ And the Alliance? Even that little reward is not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth! ]

[ They clearly have no good intentions, they want to drag others down with them as cannon fodder! ]

..

The more these people discussed, the more rational they became. They gradually withdrew their intention to attack the demons, causing the young man who sent the message to feel depressed.

“F*ck, a bunch of cowards. What’s there to be afraid of about demons!”

“Could it be that out of all the lords, only Joey dares to attack a commander-tier monster! ?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t know which region Joey is in either!”

The young man didn’t know that Joey was indeed in the forest area. In fact, the demons were part of Joey’s army.

However, for a mythical existence like the demons, no one would believe it if someone directly said that they were the soldiers of a certain lord.

What a joke!

That was a demon, a wild monster with red roots and big horns!

How could a terrifying demon maintain its loyalty to a weak human?

It was probably going to rebel and devour that person’s soul.

In the stories, those who dared to deal with demons did not have a good ending.

In another corner of the Dark Forest, another young man was sitting on a huge rock, muttering to himself in a low voice.

“I didn’t expect this.”

“This forest is rich in wood and wild monsters, and there are also special bosses.”

“I have more than 20 top-tier troops, lava behemoths.”

“With so many top-tier troops at level 5 or 6, I believe that I can definitely wipe out that small group of demons!”

“High-level blueprints, rare equipment, special materials…”

“All of them are mine!”

“When it’s time to hunt…”

“It’s time!”

The young man stood up, and the huge rock under his feet also let out a loud rumble.

Soon, a four-to five-meter-tall stone giant rose from the ground, and a large amount of soil poured down from its body.

At the same time, stone giants emerged from the ground not far away from each other. Like crocodiles hiding in the water, they killed the wild monsters nearby that had no time to react.

The young man stood on top of the stone giants and commanded them to split into several different directions to search for possible traces of the demons.

Although the stone giants were huge, they were unusually quiet when they moved. They only left huge footprints on the ground in the forest.
