With its lush woods and dense fog as a barrier, coupled with rumors of the Devil's Forest, Jianing City has not yet been affected by the war. However, since Geeland and Dulong had divided the northern part of Naborand, and Herilandi had included the southern part of Naborand, many of the remnants of Naboland fled to the northern border of Sambiland to escape the combined massacre of the three nations. The cruel narrow-mindedness and intolerant faith of the Napoleanders finally brought on themselves the catastrophe of destruction.

The German lord of Sambiland, Kola, was fond of fun and comfort. He feared the influx of refugees from Naborand and the turmoil in the country caused by religious issues, and feared that taking in the refugees would lead to retaliation from his powerful neighbor Herilandi. As a result, Kola hastily sent troops to the northern border, intercepted the refugees' escape routes, and forced them to withdraw from the border at Sambiland by force. In desperation, thousands of Naboland refugees had to take refuge in the Devil's Forest, the ominous land of the cross, causing the population of Jianing City to quickly increase from more than 100 to more than 30,000.

Several partners, such as Future Sukarlana and Murdi Boro, couldn't help but secretly sweat. Fortunately, they had already made predictions, made some preparations in advance, formulated a series of emergency strategies, and demanded strict compliance with the order of the refugees with a tough attitude, and managed to stabilize the situation.

The biggest headache for them now is the distribution of food. The population has increased nearly 300 times at once, and the little grain that was stored with great difficulty before is simply not enough at a critical juncture. When the scene gets out of control, you have to rely on force to maintain order. Thanks to the fact that Sang Wu had trained the original 100-odd inhabitants as soldiers for a period of time, he was now barely able to cope with the group of refugees who had been hungry and tired for a long time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Recently, they divided the refugees into 100 groups of about 300 people each, and then led by the more than 100 residents who had been trained to help the refugees understand and get used to the living system here, and everything finally began to stabilize.

In order to be able to harvest enough food as soon as possible, the open space in the city is now basically used, and even the front and back of the houses are planted with short-term crops, especially potato crops, and livestock farms are gradually expanding to the edge of the inner forest. Although the forest behind the lake in the palace hunting ground has long been classified as a forbidden area, and all the people in the city have been warned not to trespass at will. But after there are more people, it is difficult to limit their range of activities, and it is only a matter of time before the existence of the streamer is discovered, but no one expected this day to come so quickly.

In the first difficult days after the rapid population growth, hungry people often ventured into the foggy forests to hunt down wild beasts. But they soon discovered that there were only a handful of prey that could be caught. It's not that the population has plummeted, but that the beasts are so clever that they will desperately run towards the restricted area if they find someone chasing them.

On this day, two more men chased a wild beast and ran to the hunting ground behind the palace, and saw the beast running around the lake and into the forbidden forest. One of the young men, Kandy, was in hot pursuit, but his companion Nahi suddenly stopped him and dissuaded him, "It's a forbidden area over there! We were warned on the first day we came, and you can't trespass there, have you forgotten?"

"But," said Kandy with some reluctance, "if we can catch that beast, dry it and store it, it will be enough for us for three days' rations." Now there is no surplus food in the city, and even the food is a little scarce, what if the number of people increases again in a few days? The new crops planted in the fields are not ready to be harvested, and the captive animals are not slaughtered by anyone, do you want to endure hunger again?"

"But......" Nahi hesitated.

"Don't be," Kandy interrupted him eagerly seeing that the prey was about to disappear, "It's just a forest, it doesn't look any different from other forests, and there is no one else here, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows that we broke through the forbidden area?"

With that, the anxious Kandy pulled up the hesitant Naxi, quickly bypassed the lake, and entered the forbidden area.

The fog happens to be a little thin today, and visibility in the forest is quite high. Kandy soon discovered that herds of wild beasts were gathering in a grassy area, quietly enjoying their food. He couldn't help but turn around excitedly and shouted, "Naxi, look over there! Haha, it turns out that the Devil's Forest is not without wild beasts, but all gathered in the forbidden area, and we don't have to worry about starvation in the future." ”

Nahi looked in the direction that Kandy was pointing, and couldn't help but get excited, but then he wondered: "There are obviously a lot of prey here, which can be used to solve the problem of food shortage in the city, but why do they choose this forest area as a forbidden area?"

"I also feel very strange to hear you say that. This forest looks like it's no different from the rest of the world, isn't it...... Think about it, as long as there is enough prey left in the forbidden area, no matter how many refugees come to the city in the future, those few people will not starve because of lack of food, right?" Kandy couldn't help but wonder.

Once people become suspicious, they will constantly have conjectures. Nahi also began to feel that Kandy's analysis made some sense, after all, those people were the first to come here, and now they are the leaders of the city, and it is not impossible to try to occupy the most advantageous resources for survival. So he worried: "But if that's the case, then if our intrusion into the forbidden area is exposed, will we be silenced?"

"You're so stupid!" said Kandy in a low voice, "and no one sees it now, and if we don't say it, who will know? As long as we keep this secret, we will never have to worry about starvation again. ”

Nahi nodded hesitantly, and tiptoed forward with Kandy, trying to get closer to the beasts that were eating the grass. But the beasts were extremely sensitive, and before they could swing their clubs, the beasts suddenly ran away. The two of them recklessly chased the beast around, and at this time their eyes were full of food, but they also ignored the physical exhaustion, and before they knew it, they chased them into the depths of the forest.

For some reason, the beasts in front of them suddenly slowed down, no longer panicked and fled, and they all stopped under a huge rock one after another. The opportunity was in front of him, and Kandy was secretly surprised, and was about to rush forward with a stick, but at that moment, Nahi suddenly dragged him down. His arm was clenched in pain, and Kandy turned back in displeasure, and was about to reproach Nahi for a few words, but he saw Nahi stiffly clubbed there, tilting his head in horror. Kandy couldn't help but look up at him in confusion, and was stunned!

But on the rock in front of him, there stood a tall monster, which at first glance looked like a man, but it was not a man! For he had a pair of huge white wings on his back, his silver hair hanging down straight on his shoulders, and his long narrow eyes shining with a silver-gray light. He looked down on Kandy and Nahi condescendingly, with no emotion in his eyes, no malice in him, and no kindness in his eyes.

Kandy and Nahi froze in place, as if everything had stood still. Suddenly, the long tail behind the big monster inadvertently curled up, and then landed gently at its feet. It was this small gesture that unexpectedly broke the silent gaze, and Kandy and Nahi suddenly came back to their senses.

"Ahh

The timid Nahi was the first to react, shouting in panic, his legs going limp, and he almost collapsed. Kandy quickly picked up the skinny Nahi, and before he had time to think about it, he dragged him and ran back desperately, not daring to turn his head back. I don't know how long I ran before I finally ran out of the forest.

A few days later, rumors spread in the city, and the rumors of the Devil's Forest were finally "confirmed".

In fact, the Streamer people have long since faded out of the sight of the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent for three hundred years. Although rumors of aliens are still widespread, there are very few Lepelians who can meet them, and only the nobles keep the relevant historical materials, and only the nobles are particularly concerned about the existence of aliens. Because, historically, the Lepeilian people have been opposed to aliens for thousands of years, and for the ruling class of this world, aliens have always been the greatest threat to shake the regime, and this concept of victimization has not changed to this day.

Although the image of the alien people described in the history books of the Lepelian people is not comprehensive, it is enough to stimulate people's imagination. Among the general public, there are not many people of insight after all, and all kinds of rumors about foreign people are almost all hearsay. Unfortunately, there are just a few old nobles in Jianing City now, and these people were all educated before, and naturally they have also read some history books. So, through Kandy and Nahi's description, they quickly guessed the true identity of the "monster" hiding in the forest exclusion zone.

The fact that there are aliens hiding in the Devil's Forest has unsurprisingly heightened people's fears. Some people began to suspect that the city was a trap set by aliens, in order to attract the Lepeilian people and eat them slowly, similar to raising livestock. There are even suspicions that the future and the others may have colluded with the aliens, believing that they deliberately brought refugees into the forest for the enjoyment of the aliens...... In short, all kinds of absurd rumors are getting more and more intense.

In order to appease the people, the future and Mo Di and several others had to gather all the residents to the central square of Jianing City, and it seemed that it was time to give an explanation of the matter.
