Alan silently estimated the number of people coming from the sound of footsteps, one, two...... There were two people in total, and he was worried that Eve would be scared when he saw the demons, so he covered her mouth.

"In order to gain the appreciation of the Demon King, His Royal Highness wasted a lot of precious fires in those towns and cities that didn't even have names, although the places captured were the most and the fastest, but ...... Now there are only three tinder. Hey, I think we should still use it sparingly, otherwise it will be bad if we really have an emergency. ”

"That's true." Terry also has some opinions, "But Evenk is different from other places, it is an important economic and military center of Landis, and we must take it." If we don't attack the city without the Holy Fire, it will bring us great losses. Of the remaining two, one can be used in the attack on the royal capital, and the other can be kept in case of emergency. ”

"You're right." "But thanks to His Highness Regulus's foresight, he took the flame first, and now only His Highness Thomas still has two fires in store, so our situation is quite optimistic." ”

"The Demon King's condition has not been very good lately, if ...... I think it's His Highness Regulus who has the greatest hope. After all, His Highness Thomas is too cowardly. ”

"Don't forget, there's that pesky Ranster."

"Lancet? He is just a hybrid of personal demons, how can he inherit the mantle of the demon king. Terry let out a disdainful breath from his nose, "Do you really think that the Demon Lord captured Landis's princess to be careful about the pain?" His birth was nothing but an accident. ”

Eve lay in the grass, listening carefully to their conversation, but the more she listened, the more terrified she became...... Are they going to set fire to the city? She looked at Alan with some concern, and Eren shook her head at her.

"Terry! You're here. "Two more demons are coming," we already know about Avink from all sides. The people inside haven't even noticed that we've arrived, and they've not evacuated, so it's a great opportunity...... Ha. Tonight, I can hear the screams of the demon again. ”

"You're here...... What about Jim? ”

"Jim? He was called by His Highness Regulus to do something more important. It seems that the strange water of Seba has eyebrows, and it seems to be hidden in the ......."

"Be careful, don't say something so important." Terry looked around, but luckily it was just a few of them.

"I'm sorry."

Eve was a little uncomfortable pressed by Alan, and she couldn't help but want to move her sore and stiff feet. But before she could lift her feet and relax, Eren held her down and forced her into her ring despite Eve's protests.

It wasn't until after the demons left that Eren came down from Mount Evenk. Ian was making dolls with his men, and as they became acquainted with magic, they were getting faster and faster, and when Eren returned, although it wasn't as prosperous as it used to be, Evenk was gradually recovering to life.

"Allen...... You're back? As soon as Ian made a doll, the little boy ran out of the room happily as he landed, "Did you find anything?" ”

"The demons are going to burn Avink tonight." Alan helped him make a few dolls together, and he thought it was boring, he had been doing it for almost a day, how could he still be so interested, "We left from Evenk's waterway in the evening. ”

"Okay."

Beneath the main castle of Evenk there was a waterway leading to the royal capital, which had been opened for the purpose of escorting prisoners who had committed treason to the royal capital to await trial. In order to prevent the rebels from taking prisoners, the road was built very discreetly so that no one was alarmed, including demons. Ian, they secretly went down the waterway to the outskirts of the royal capital.

In the middle of the night, Evenck was silent, save for the shrunk of animals in the barn. Caught off guard, a fire suddenly ignited on all sides, Regulus took the binoculars, stood on the highest point of Mount Evenk and looked down, the corners of his mouth provoked a satisfied smile, and the fire reflected in his red eyes flickered, "Very well done, Terry." Once we've dealt with Evenk, we'll be able to concentrate on marching towards the royal capital. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. I'm sure we'll be able to reach the royal capital before the Demon King and His Highness Thomas. Terry was overjoyed at the sight, with a sense of excitement that had finally been suppressed and the thrill of conquest.

But as the fire grew stronger, they faintly sensed that something was wrong. The fire engulfed houses and buildings from house to house, and cattle and sheep scurried around, but there was no sound but the terrible cries of animals, and there was no one.

Regulus didn't find any humans who fled in terror because of the burning of the beams, and he felt strange at once, more faintly uneasy, based on previous experience, the situation should not be like this, "Terry, didn't you say that Avinc's people are still there?" ”

"This ......" Terry didn't understand, according to the instinctive fear of death in humans, they should have rushed out of the room as soon as they sensed danger in their sleep, "As far as this afternoon is concerned, Evenk is no different from usual. Although I can perceive a relative decrease in the population, it is probably due to some of them fleeing to Otto and Gari. ”

When Regulus looked at the flames again, he felt nothing but an ominous premonition in his heart.

The fire burned all night before it ended, and Ian could see the sky in the distance as it sparked into the horizon from the waterway.

"There are only four fires left in the demons, all of them are in the hands of Thomas and Regulus, two for each person, we just need to hold on to these two biggest targets." Alan said to Ian on the boat, his face soaked in the firelight, calm.

"Where did you know that?" After passing through Evenk's puppet and the burning of the city, Ian was less wary of Alan than he had at the beginning, but had a little more respect.

"You just need to know the outcome." Of course, Alan didn't explain the process in detail, he fiddled with the storage ring on his finger boredly, "I left 'people' with Regulus, we just need to wait for information on time." ”

Alan walked to the door of the cabin, he opened the door and walked in, "I'll go to sleep first, you and the adjutant will figure out the plan for the future, and then inform me." ”

"Allen...... Wait a minute. Ian couldn't catch up with him, and the door slammed shut.

Alan sat on the bed in the cabin, suddenly sleepy, the excitement came so suddenly, he couldn't help but wonder if he had a mental problem.

Maybe he'd have to find a chance to ask Winnie.

And at this point, Eve was sleeping.

Earlier, she was suddenly thrown into the storage ring by Allen, and she still fell heavily to the ground, with some faint pain in her back and backbone, and a large bruise on her calf and wrist.

Eve was not very happy about this, he fought the demons well, why did he bring her to suffer. Every day, I was locked in a small room, I couldn't see anything, I had to eat dry bread, and occasionally drink some milk.

What's even more annoying is that Alan suddenly wakes her up in the middle of her sleep. Eve looked sleepily at the bloody, radiant Alan in front of her, "What are you doing...... I don't sleep in the middle of the night. I'm so sleepy. ”

"Eve, don't sleep. Let's talk. Alan rolled around happily with her in his arms, and when he heard Eve crying sleepy, he stopped to look at Eve and asked seriously, "Why don't you sleep while I'm away?" ”

Then she won't be sleepy! Eve angrily pulled the quilt over and wrapped herself in a big ball, "It's my bedtime, don't come." ”

Eve who was angry when she got up was still very scary, and Alan looked at the small mountain bag in front of him a little aggrieved, he was working so hard outside to solve other things, just to come in early to accompany her.

Alan stealthily approached a little and poked, but Eve didn't react.

Poke it again, but there is still no response.

The only sound in the air was Eve's even breathing.

Alan retreated and hugged the small mountain bag, rubbing the bulging place, probably the head, and after a while, the inexplicable excitement disappeared, and he fell asleep.

……

In the early morning, the demon army entered Evenk, and after Regulus and his demon army made a round, they did not find any human corpses.

"Terry, I need an explanation." Regulus endured the dead city, and if it was an empty city in itself, he wasted a precious spark in order to burn down an empty city.

"Do you mean...... Humans, they saw that we were going to burn the city in the middle of the night, so they evacuated overnight from a certain passage to the outside of Evenk? "But such a mass evacuation would inevitably lead to riots, unless...... Unless there is a professional military officer, a soldier, to help the command...... Your Highness, our plan should be known to Landis and them! So ......"

Regulus's hand held a burnt pillar, and with a squeeze he squeezed it, the pillar broke in the middle and fell to the ground with a "thud" sound. Regulus knew that he had been deceived, but he could only grit his teeth and hate, "We'll see." ”

Crick and his friends crouched on the high trunks of dead trees and looked down, their transparent bodies and black eyes and mouths almost blending with the charred branches, and it was impossible to tell that there were three ghosts on them without careful discernment.

Crick pointed at his little friend, and a ghost floated away with a transparent tail, disappearing above Evenk in a moment.
