"Commander, the search is complete. There are no remaining hostile targets!"
"Tell them to retreat."
"Roger that!"
Audura looked at the entrance of the cave. Tang En and the others had just come out. After reporting the situation, he noticed that Coco and Vanilla looked very serious. He could not help but ask, "What's wrong? What did you find down there? "
"Demon eggs — a lot of them!"
Vanilla said with disgust, "We've purified them all."
Demon eggs?!
Audura was shocked, but he was relieved when he heard Vanilla's words. It was good that they had been purified. Otherwise, something big would have happened in Prandal.
However …
Audura was worried. Today, Annelin had brought out so many demon eggs. Who knew if there would be another Annelin tomorrow? After all, the Camouflage Demon Camouflage was too good at camouflage, and it was one of the rare demons that was close to normal intelligence. It was difficult to distinguish it in a crowd.
On the airship, Audura was in a bad mood. He was considering whether he should suggest to the Pope to do a screening in the Ryan Empire to see if there were any lurking demons.
The airship soon returned to the sky above Bloodshadow Town. When Audura and the others saw Bloodshadow Town, they were shocked again because Bloodshadow Town in their field of vision had almost been completely destroyed!
Almost all the buildings here had collapsed. A group of panicked orc civilians were outside the town. Their homes had been destroyed, but they did not dare to say anything. They could only watch the army of the Ryan Empire fight against the demons.
Now, some of the surviving orcs were grateful. Although their homes were destroyed and they had nothing, at least they were still alive.
Some were very angry. Although all the demons had been killed and they had survived, their homes were also destroyed. They had nothing left.
Looking at the same thing from a different perspective, the feeling was completely different. But this was human nature. They would only see what they wanted to see …
"Lord Tang En!"
Sharp Tooth flew to Tang En. "What's the situation? I just felt a very powerful energy fluctuation. That aura should belong to a Legendary demon, right? "
Twain nodded. "Yes, I've already killed him."
Sharp Teeth, who was about to ask, was speechless. But when he thought of Tang En's abnormal strength, he felt relieved. Only he could kill a Legendary-stage demon so easily. Others, even Jean and Angus, could not have such strength.
Tang En looked down and said, "Do you have any plans for these people?"
"No."
Razortooth shook his head. "We plan to use the airships to transfer them to New Bul-Kathos for now. The capital is developing well, and these people should be able to find a place for themselves there."
Tang En thought for a moment and said, "Take them to level up. Let them go to Grace."
Sharp Teeth was stunned. "Why?"
Tang En said, "Their home was destroyed, and we don't have extra manpower to help them rebuild it. Instead of being mediocre in New Bul-Kathos, it's better to go to a new place and start a new life."
"In New Bul-Kathos, they need to redefine themselves and find a suitable place. But in Grace, which is empty, they can let go of themselves. It's up to them whether they want to continue living according to their old habits or change themselves and use this opportunity to start a new life. This should be a better choice."
Sharp Teeth thought for a moment. "Then we'll do as you say."
There were less than a third of Bloodshadow Town's residents left. This place had already been conquered by the Glorious Recovery Alliance. If they hadn't discovered this in time, most of the residents here would have joined that organization in a short period of time.
There were only ten to twenty thousand residents left, and a dozen or so airships definitely weren't enough. They could only transport them in batches. As such, Sharp assigned a portion of the soldiers to maintain order and left behind the supplies on the airships. Only then did he leave with the first batch of about two hundred people.
On the airship, Sharp Teeth called out the uneasy Leo. "This is Leo, a very wise defector."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "He's not possessed by a demon?"
"It's because I'm not sure that I need your help."
Sharp Teeth shrugged. "Those parasitic demons don't seem to awaken unless there's a fatal attack. This kind of fatal attack seems to be measured according to the host's mental fluctuations. After Leo defected, his mental state was more stable, so the demon didn't awaken. "
Tang En nodded and agreed with Sharp Teeth's words. He put his hand on Leo's body. [Nola, check.]
Nola immediately got the result. [There's indeed a demon parasitic. A baby demon has fused with his heart, forming a symbiotic relationship. If the demon awakens, this orc will also die.]
Tang En repeated Nola's words, and then Nola's face turned pale with fright, and he began to tremble all over.
Tang En looked at him and suddenly asked, "After you joined that organization, you didn't even know when you were possessed by a demon?"
Leo shook his head. "I didn't know. I didn't even know that there was a demon in my body! Damn it, this is different from … what that bastard said! "
Wasn't the Glorious Recovery Alliance an organization dedicated to restoring the glory of the orcs? How did it have anything to do with a demon?
"It seems that it was implanted under the control of the mind …"
Tang En thought for a while and asked, "How did you join that organization? Did you hear some strange sounds? Or did someone come to you to preach? Or was there some other reason? "
Leo hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I heard a prophecy from the prophet … Well, now I know that it might be the whispers of a demon, but I really didn't know at that time!"
Leo suddenly became a little agitated. "I was just angry at first!"
"Angry?"
"Yes!"
Leo said loudly. "The Ryan Empire is an independent country, but look at us now, do we still have our own sovereignty?! All our goods, food, shelter, and transportation, all come from you humans! Everything about us has been controlled by you! We can't even find a place where we're better than you guys! It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this! "
"It's all because of Testero! If he hadn't given in to the humans without any bottom line, the Ryan Empire wouldn't have become like this! "
Leo shouted. "So I thought that if the Ryan Empire could have a new king, perhaps they would change their attitude towards the humans and not allow things to continue to deteriorate. We orcs could also regain our dignity and regain our independence!"
"Naive."
Tang En sneered. "Didn't I give you independence? If we really did nothing about what happened to the Ryan Empire, do you think you can still survive in this world? You don't know anything at all. You think it's a shame, but what have you done for this country? "
"I —"
Leo was speechless.
"Times have changed, but your thinking is still stuck in the past, and there are many people like you."
Sharp Teeth laughed. "I seem to understand why the orcs can't keep up with the development of the humans."
"Without our help, your compatriots can't even fill their stomachs, and they're still hunting in the wind and sun every day."
Tang En said expressionlessly, "But now? We invested in you, found new industries for you, and provided a large amount of funds and jobs for your compatriots so that they could live a more comfortable life. But you, or rather, the organization you recognize, actually tried to destroy all of this. You still think that this is a matter of course? Are you still a kid? "
"I'm not —"
Just as Leo was excitedly explaining, Tang En's hand pierced out like lightning and directly pierced into Leo's chest. Then, under Sharp Teeth's stunned gaze, Tang En fiercely pulled outwards and directly pulled out a sticky baby demon!
Heavily wounded in the heart, Leo blacked out and fell to the ground in a coma.
After a crack, Tang En crushed the demon, and the fire burned the demon's flesh into ashes. Then, green light sprayed from his hand, and the intense vitality pulled Leo back from the gates of hell.
Leo, who woke up, took a deep breath and subconsciously touched his chest. Although the blood was still there, the wound had already healed.
Tang En looked down at him. "Now that your life has been saved by me, a human being, according to your thoughts and attitude, are you going to keep your life or give it back to me?"
Leo was speechless.
Usually, Orcs had strong personalities, and they might really kill themselves if they didn't like what they said. However, Leo wouldn't. Since Razortooth said that he would surrender because of the threat of his life, it meant that he regarded his life as more important than his beliefs. Therefore, he wouldn't kill himself.
Leo lowered his head.
Tang En smirked. He won.
That was why extreme racists like him needed to be taught a lesson. Once he was beaten into submission, he would be obedient.
After returning to New Bul-Kathos, everyone immediately went their separate ways.
Odura led the Red Lotus Knights back to report on their mission. Coco and Vanilla also reluctantly bid farewell to Winette and followed them back.
Vice-captain Lowell stayed behind and was in charge of leading the airship to transport the refugees from Bloodshadow Town.
Sharp Teeth went to Testero to pass on the news. In order to solve the hidden demons as much as possible, the Ryan Empire was likely to conduct a huge screening operation.
Tang En had wanted to rest for a few more days before returning. Unfortunately, he had only been able to relax for a few days when he received news from the Magic Engineering Research Institute and returned to Ellington.
There was a breakthrough in the technology of artificial soul quantum computers!
