Chapter 207 Humans Stink!! (4k)
Carefully tend to them? Take care of the demons?
Although Hilo frowned, he continued watching with doubt, wondering what kind of trick the Holy Maiden was up to.
The demons cannot communicate with us, and after the borders are completely sealed off, it will be difficult for them to enter human territory. Even if they do enter, they will find it difficult to move an inch due to the language barrier.
The inability to obtain intelligence normally will lead the enemy to use extreme methods to test the fortress's strength.
So we turned the tables and lured the enemy's spies into the city.
Then, prepare a friend for the other party who understands the demon language but "does not understand" human language.
In other words, some of the heroes are allowed to make direct contact with the other side, pretending to be spies planted there by other demons.
By utilizing enemy spies to transmit false intelligence to the enemy, the pressure on the fortress can be alleviated.
Upon seeing this, Shiloh's eyes lit up.
And this kind of operation? !
“Read this,” Shiloh said, handing the letter to her sister.
Lycorina only gave a general outline of the process, but how it is actually carried out will definitely involve various issues.
Hilo couldn't handle these things, so he usually left them to the other three members of the team.
She was in charge of leading troops into battle, while the other three were responsible for making arrangements.
So even if she understands it, she'll leave the specific arrangements to Cecilia.
Xislinn took the letter from Licorina, quickly read it, and her eyes lit up, her mind instantly clearing up.
"What the Holy Maiden said is indeed a good idea!"
Did Mr. Carl ask her to convey this message?
"No, judging from the time the letter was sent, An Yi Karl is probably still on his way back."
"It seems Her Highness has grown quite a bit as well," Hilo analyzed.
It's not hard to understand, after all, he had spent so much time by An Yi Karl's side, and he had even entered the Demon Realm.
It's not impossible to begin to understand the demon race and offer them advice based on that understanding.
At this moment, the heroes were also filled with curiosity.
"What message did the Holy Maiden convey?"
"Yes! Tell me quickly! What brilliant plan is it!"
"Can you release it? If you can, please tell us! I want to know too!"
A commotion erupted, as most of the heroes here had never even seen the so-called "Holy Maiden" before.
That's the Holy Maiden of the Celestial God Cult, the captain of the world's strongest hero team, and the first hero ever born in the world!
In the eyes of ordinary heroes, he is already a legendary figure.
"Quiet down! Listen to me!!" Hilo roared, silencing the heroes. "The Saintess's plan is this—"
……
The next day, Silvermoon Fortress suddenly opened the road out of the city and began using wagons to transport "civilians" to the completely ruined Sword Demon City on the other side.
These so-called "commoners" were actually believers and heroes in disguise.
They were all dressed in linen robes, with hoods covering their faces, and under their robes were very simple linen clothes.
The "coachman" on horseback was dressed in white and held a weapon, making him look like a soldier in the human army.
It appears as if the soldiers escorted these "civilians" here to explore the dangerous demonic ruins.
To avoid alerting the enemy to the heroes mixed among them, they specifically chose heroes with low magic power to infiltrate the group.
The ratio of heroes to believers was almost one to one; to ensure the safety of these believers, each hero was responsible for protecting one believer.
Upon arriving at [Sword Demon City], the heroes and their followers disembarked and began searching everywhere, like scavengers looking for something valuable in the ruins.
They didn't act in pairs; even though each hero was responsible for protecting a believer, their formation was relatively loose.
Heroes with low magic power are mostly warriors or heroes with high resilience. It's best to keep them at a distance where you can reach them at any time.
This loose formation was precisely for the demons to infiltrate.
This kind of environment is perfect if a local wants to secretly plant a demon in.
The other party could hide in the ruins, then suddenly emerge and blend into the crowd, without anyone even noticing the extra "person." 彡
The demons within Black Crow City, skilled at concealment, quickly discovered this situation.
Rather, it's more accurate to say they've been observing for a long time, looking for opportunities to infiltrate human cities.
However, the first two groups of intelligence agents sent to infiltrate the area remained silent, like pebbles thrown into the ocean, failing to make a ripple.
Even though the enemy infiltrated from the demon city, they couldn't escape the 24-hour watch of the reconnaissance heroes.
The demons had barely gotten close when the heroes secretly dealt with them.
On the very first night of the appearance of the "civilians," the intelligence was relayed back to Black Crow City.
In the Black Crow City Viscount's mansion, the Black Crow Viscount and his men were overjoyed.
"These humans are quite patient; they're only coming out now to confirm the results of their battle."
"Hahaha! I finally couldn't hold back anymore!"
Now that we've captured several cities, why wouldn't we search for loot?
Those few baronies alone could hold countless treasures.
While it might be considered a small fortune for demons of viscount rank, the information and valuables inside were an immense temptation for these humans who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
In their view, it was impossible for humans to obtain information about the demon race out of thin air.
Since it's war, intelligence is absolutely essential!
Therefore, it's impossible for humanity to simply abandon these baronies and do nothing.
Meanwhile, Viscount Black Crow had already sent demons to loot all the baron mansions, deliberately leaving behind a large number of worthless items to waste human time.
Everything is ready; we're just waiting for humans to come out and search the city.
After a period of silence, humanity indeed began sending people out to explore the demon cities!
Judging from their attire, those humans seemed to have been sent out to explore like slaves. It seems the intention was to assign these dangerous tasks to the most worthless humans.
After observing for a few days, it was discovered that the other party was exploring the area step by step, proceeding slowly and cautiously.
After learning about the other party's attire, Black Crow City dispatched demons who resembled humans in appearance and build to infiltrate the human population.
Soon, a demon named "Bangji" hid in the ruins of Sword Demon City overnight, serving as the first infiltrator.
In the morning, the group of "lifeless" humans began searching through the ruins again.
At a casual moment, while the humans were busy with their work, Bunge casually imitated them, searching through the ruins.
Before long, its entire face scrunched up...
Smelly!
It stinks!!
The stench emanating from humans was almost suffocating it, like falling into a cesspool, the foul smell constantly pouring into its nose.
It almost threw up its leftovers, but to avoid being exposed, it didn't make any gagging noises on the spot.
However, the first piece of intelligence it had to submit was;
Humans smell awful!!
They look like a bunch of moving piles of dung!
Smelling this scent, for some reason, a murderous intent began to rise within it.
As Bunge casually crushed a brick while rummaging through the ruins, he became aware of his inexplicable negative emotions.
Before unleashing its killing intent, it quickly fled into the ruins.
The inexplicable unease in its heart only subsided when it could no longer smell the human scent.
If there were a mirror in front of Bunge, it would see that its eyes were bloodshot and the veins on its forehead were throbbing.
From the stench to the inexplicable anger, it all seemed to be its body's instinctive aversion to humans.
An uncontrollable hatred.
Before it could obtain more intelligence about humans, this became the second piece of intelligence it reported.
The smell of humans triggers uncontrollable anger and murderous intent.
This is very important intelligence for Viscount City.
This explains why the demons sent to infiltrate earlier disappeared without a trace.
They must have revealed their murderous intent towards humans!
Unable to control their murderous intent, they naturally cannot obtain intelligence and will inevitably be killed by humans.
Upon learning this crucial intelligence, Viscount Black Crow purchased a large number of odor-masking magical items from various organizations in the city overnight for use in the upcoming infiltration operation.
As a pathfinder, Bunge was also given a mid-level magical item.
It is a pathfinder, so it cannot be used too well. Losing magical items in human territory would be a huge loss.
But precisely because it is a pathfinder, it cannot be used poorly, otherwise it would make Viscount Black Raven seem stingy.
Stuffing the magical items into his pocket, Bunge once again rushed to the ruins of the Sword Demon City overnight.
Another night passed, and it blended into the crowd just like yesterday, silently pretending to work.
Unlike yesterday...
It doesn't smell bad today!
Even the coal dust and putrid smell emanating from the ruins themselves had disappeared!
Feeling refreshed and invigorated!
