In this world, in all people's cognition, there is only one continent - that is, the continent where everyone grows and lives under their feet. On the east and west sides of the continent are endless oceans, with nothing but scattered islands; To the south, there is a bottomless cliff, some people say that it leads to the endless abyss, and it is from where the original demons invaded this world; To the north, across the mountains, is an unknowable void where no one knows what it is or where it leads......

Perhaps in ancient times, before the Dark Ages, when human civilization was at its peak, humans explored regions beyond the continents. But now, even the royal family, which has been passed down from generation to generation, has lost those long-lasting memories.

Today, on the contrary, it is the abyss demon realm that crosses the plane, and it seems to be "closer" to the world as people know it.

The continent does not have an exact name, as there is no need to distinguish it from other lands. Generally speaking, if it corresponds to the Abyss Demon Realm, both humans and demons habitually refer to this place as the "Human Realm".

On this continent, which is considered to be the "human realm" by default, there is only one human country, the kingdom.

That is, all the human beings on the continent, or all the human beings in this world, are subjects of this only country.

The kingdom theoretically rules over the unimaginably vast land of the entire "human realm" and the unknown number of people who inhabit it.

In short, because there is no second organization that can be called a "nation", everyone is a citizen of the kingdom by default from birth.

Of course, for the same reason, the only country also does not have a specific name. People simply call it "kingdom".

Therefore, in such a context, there is no concept of "foreigner" or "foreigner" in the cognition of people in this world.

Because that kind of person simply can't exist in reality.

Only in some unknown legends and stories, the term "foreigner" is still retained, and it has been passed down as the protagonist of strange rumors.

For people in this world, the so-called "aliens" are completely equivalent to "people from outside the world" - in other normal worldviews, they are called "aliens".

In Fanley's unusually precise and affirmative judgment, Wox is such a being—a foreigner, a person who does not belong to this world.

In this regard, after learning about the relevant background knowledge, Woz did not mean to hide it, and generously admitted it. Although he didn't take the initiative to explain anything, it was naturally appropriate for the other party to be able to "make up" a reasonable explanation for him.

Moreover, because of his absolute confidence in his own strength, Wolds also disdains to make up any background for himself in a flash.

Next, the two naturally joined forces. Van Lee's curiosity wanted to learn more about the stranger...... Of course, if he finds out that Woz is really an enemy related to the Demon Realm, he can also act quickly to kill him - Van Li is confident that he is invincible in close-quarters combat!

Woz, on the other hand, was solely motivated by the need for an "indigenous" person to tell him more about the world.

"Tsk, I see that you have gained a lot...... There shouldn't be a need to search the area in the back, right? Van Lee looked at the large package behind Wads, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his tone.

Waz smiled, "I only picked up coins and some gems, and the rest was untouched." As for my package...... Is it because there are a lot of books in it? ”

Fan Li said with a big grin: "Forget it, you can't pick up real treasures if you're just on the street." Why don't we go to the headquarters of the Knights, where the most treasures are buried...... Although it may have been searched by the demons a long time ago. ”

"Hey, will the demons here also search the house?" Woltz asked curiously, "I thought they were all just destroying, and they weren't interested in treasure or anything at all." ”

"Huh?" Fan Li reluctantly explained, "You're a stranger. After the Burning City was destroyed three days ago, there weren't many real demons left here. What you saw before were just monsters. The difference between a demon and a monster...... Just like us humans and beasts, it's not a concept at all! ”

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Fan Li added: "Of course, if you count the little bad demon as a demon, that's another matter......"

"In short, Warcraft basically don't have much intelligence other than their instincts to kill and eat, so don't expect them to be interested in ordinary gold coins and gems that can't be eaten and have no magical power."

"And the Abyss Demon Clan...... Although they don't want to admit it, they are indeed a race with intelligence, no less than us humans, and perhaps even higher than the level of human intelligence. Fan Li sighed, "Since this is the case, then they will naturally become interested in everything valuable." War, especially raiding a city like this, is a matter of course, right? ”

"This Demon King-level army is a surprise attack without warning, it is a blitzkrieg that is caught off guard, so there may not be much time left for them to loot, and even the city is largely preserved......" He pointed to a ruin around him - Woz didn't think it was well-preserved, "However, key places like the Knights' headquarters and the Ruling Hall should not be left alone." ”

Woz asked rhetorically, "According to you, the headquarters of the Knights has been ransacked, so what's the point of us going again?" ”

"So, try your luck." Fan Li shrugged, "Maybe if you're lucky, the demons didn't loot too carefully." ”

Moreover, there are still some words in Fan Li's heart that have not been clearly said, and now the city is a big treasure without defense, and he just occupies a little time advantage to enter the loot in advance. If you want to maximize the benefits of this trip, you must find some high-value targets. Otherwise, when other scavengers come in, I am afraid that there will not be much benefit.

After all, this place has just suffered misfortune, and the Knights of the Flame, who are also a wall to protect humanity, have been destroyed. I didn't think about revenge, but took advantage of the fire to rob and pick up the corpse, which is not glorious......

Originally, Wox just wanted to collect some money to facilitate his next move, so he didn't deliberately look for any "high-value" targets. Now that someone is leading the way, he naturally doesn't mind going along to see it.

In a place like the headquarters of the Knights, there must be a lot of books and materials, right?

The rest of the trip went smoothly. The city that had been cleaned up by Wads's ultimate move no longer had many annoying Warcraft to disturb them, and as for the few remaining Warcraft that were stronger, they were not opponents of the two at all, and they were knocked away by Woz with a swing of his staff.

Later, Fan Li also had the idea of being competitive, and when he found the Warcraft, he always took the lead and killed it with a "flying sword".

If anyone else saw this, they would be surprised, right? These demonic beasts that they defeated casually all have the strength of the "centurion" level!

Under the rules of the Star Alliance, each centurion-level monster represents a mission of at least three stars!

This is a difficulty that only a veteran witcher can accomplish.

And at this moment, the two people who easily completed more than twenty "three-star missions" along the way, but none of them were witchers.

Woz was really relaxed along the way, and he didn't feel any pressure or hindrance at all. But Fan Li around him was different—although those monsters didn't pose much of a threat, the stranger surprised him time and time again.

It's always that careless, and when he encounters a monster, he just waves his hand casually and flies, and if Fan Li makes a move, he won't refuse, let him take action.

Fanley certainly quickly saw it - it wasn't a trust in me, but a confidence in his own strength? Even if I miss it, I can always solve the problem!

Fan Li, who has always believed in his high strength, can't help but have the idea of comparison. He even took a long detour to actively look for the remaining demonic beasts in the city.

At the same time, if you look down from a high place, you can see that on the periphery of the Flame City, countless "small black dots" are approaching the city from all directions.

Previously, Woz's big move Qingcheng, its magic power fluctuations quickly spread out, and it was quickly detected by people outside and the abyss race.

Originally, because of the terrifying strength of the Demon King's army and the sudden attack without warning, neither the human side nor other demon forces dared to approach the Flame City rashly. Just scouting carefully in the suburbs outside the city, fighting each other and pinning them down while trying to figure out what's going on inside the city.

Then, a strong burst of magic erupted from the city. Immediately after, those demons who were already in the city fled in a hurry, calling out the "Ice Demon King" coming.

Except for a few demons with good strength who directly tore through the space and fled back to the abyss at any cost, the other demons who chose to escape from the city were quickly killed...... Regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, the existence of the past who is surrounding the city of fire at this moment has no mercy, especially after discovering that these escaped demons cannot provide any valuable information at all.

Not to mention the adventurers and witchers on the human side, even the demons who are the demons of the Abyss Demon Race are also merciless - because these guys who escaped from the city are all captives, and they were previously captured alive by the Knights of the Flame as experiments, rookie trial objects, gladiatorial arena fighting beasts, and even "zoo" exhibits, and they are no longer worthy of being called Abyss Demons.

In the ruins not long ago, they were only slightly higher than the Demon Beasts and the Inferior Demons. But in the demon society that is supported by strength, these guys who were captured alive and survived to this day are actually no different from the lowest demonic beasts.

The Abyss Demon Clan, respected by the strong. Unlike those demons who were scared to run away, the demons outside the city were more likely to covet the previous magic fluctuations, or wanted to go to meet the powerful "Demon King".

Although they are not within the scope of the recruitment of the demon king army this time, they are all abyss demon forces who have been attacking the "human realm" for a long time, so they have also learned some insider information. In their opinion, perhaps the existence in the city was the original goal of this demon king's army.

Now that the "king" has appeared and issued a call, the demons naturally have no reason to hesitate any longer, and immediately rush towards the city in desperation.

As soon as the demon moved, the human side reacted as well. At this moment, wandering around the outskirts of the city are not only adventurers like Fan Li who are waiting to "pick up corpses" to make a fortune, but also sentinels from the major studios of the alliance, as well as official investigators of the kingdom; There is absolutely no way that these people will be allowed to act by the demons.

So with them taking the lead, the adventurers also rushed forward, fighting the demons they encountered on the road, and while trying their best to rush towards the Flame City.

Of course, Van Lee and Woz, who were in the middle of the city at this time, had no idea about these things.

Led by Van Leigh, the two soon arrived at the headquarters of the Order—unsurprisingly, only ruins remained, and they were of a particularly broken kind.

It seems that this is also a key strike area for the Demon Legion.

Thankfully, this time, the Demon Legion really seemed to have come just for destruction and destruction, and they destroyed the building of the headquarters, but did not carry out meticulous looting. Under Fan Li's sharp eyes, a large pile of treasures and supplies were turned out.

Waz looked at the large package behind him, uninterested in what Van Lee had turned up. Sometimes, having too much money is a nuisance.

It's a pity that the fragile stuff of the scroll doesn't seem to have survived.

"Hey, that's enough, right? No matter how much treasure you have, there's no point in taking it away. Wox greeted helplessly.

Fan Li ignored it, still tirelessly rummaging through the collapsed ruins.

"What are you looking for?" Woxz asked again aloud.

"Nonsense," the latter replied, "the entrance to the underground chamber, of course!" Of course, there will be a secret room in a place like the headquarters of the Knights, right? ”

Woz is staggered, and although it is old-fashioned, in every sense, what the guy said does make sense.

"Hey, it seems to have been found!" Fan Li suddenly cheered with ecstaty, "Come and take a hand and clear the hole!" ”

Woz pursed his lips and looked at the staff in his hand—he hadn't regained the magic he could use to carry the clean-up job so far.

However, for the sake of this "native" being so enthusiastic about introducing himself, let's help him.

Anyway, now that Woz's physical strength has also been enhanced, he should test his physical fitness by the way. After making this decision, Woz casually dropped his staff and package, rolled up his sleeves and walked over.

……

Outside the Flame City, a chaotic battlefield had been turned into a hundred kilometers.

Humans and demons, humans and humans, demons and demons...... Countless figures in groups or single-handedly encountered on the way to the city, and then fought fiercely. Until one side falls, or both lose.

With this ruined city as the center, it seems that there are invisible sieves, constantly sifting and filtering all these figures trying to enter it.

Neither humans nor demons are acting in unison at this moment, but are affiliated with different organizations. There is no saying that the abyss demons of the same level belong to each other, everything depends on strength.

On the human side, it is much better, at least not blatantly attacking each other...... But there are also rebels who have taken refuge in the abyss.

As a result, the entire outside of the city instantly became a pot of porridge. Almost everyone or the demons present didn't expect that there were so many people lurking in this place, which seemed to be peaceful just now!

The unexpected number of people made the entire battlefield instantly white-hot and complicated. Then, in an irreversible manner, it quickly overwhelmed the control of everyone present and the demons - no one had the power to suppress the whole field and calm the chaos.

However, in the face of this scene, no one except for the witchers who represent the kingdom and several large studios will care.

Especially those free adventurers, their original intention was to fish in troubled waters, take advantage of the chaos and leave. The current situation is chaotic, but for these guys who have no sense of organization and discipline, I am afraid it is exactly the situation they are looking forward to.

As the demons dance, the city in ruins is like a tempting cake that attracts everyone and the demons.

Among the countless figures rushing to the city, there is such a couple. One tall and one short, one fat and one thin, although there were only two people, and the speed was not very fast, they successfully broke through to less than ten kilometers from the city wall.

The tall and thin man, with a spear dismantled in two, surrounded the short, fat man like a whirlwind, who charged forward with a huge shield of almost equal length, with his head buried in front of him; That's what slows them down.

"Come on! We're almost there! The thin brother shouted beside him, "Victory is at hand!" When we enter the city, we will be able to pick up countless treasures, and our brothers will send them! Then we can change to better gear......"

"Okay, brother! Got it, brother! The fat man yelled in a muffled voice.

He didn't look up at the road at all, and relied on the guidance of his thin brother to rush forward.

On their way forward, a huge bear-like demonic beast appeared, but it was supposed to be the guy who was defeated by the people before him, and he was already in a half-dead state.

Seeing this, the thin brother avoided it slightly, but did not remind the younger brother.

The fat man didn't know it, and continued to bury his head in the charge.

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.

The fat man's fat body trembled, and the momentum of the charge slowed down slightly, and then he regained his previous speed and continued to charge.

And the big bear beast that was originally blocking the road had already been knocked high into the air, and it took a long time before it fell behind the two brothers.

"Big brother, what happened just now?"

"Hmm...... Nothing, well done! It was this momentum that our brothers rushed into the city in one go! ”

"Good!"
