"Is that village in front of Yoyo the Ironstone Village?"

Looking at a ruined village not far ahead, Kane asked Yoyo at his feet.

"Yes, master." Cast on the map in mid-air, Kane's point of light had coincided with the target's point of light.

After a night's rest in the fortress, Kane and his team arrived early in the morning for their second mission, investigating the demon squad that was wreaking havoc in the second line of defense.

They got the information about the village destroyed by the demon and the corresponding map markers, and followed Yoyo to the first destroyed village.

After entering the village, everyone scattered, and began to look for possible information and some traces.

It's been almost two weeks since the village was destroyed, just in time for the demons to attack the first line of defense.

According to the information obtained, this village was once just an ordinary human settlement, and there was nothing peculiar or special about it.

However, the village is not very close to the second line of defense, and belongs to a relatively internal position between the second line of defense and the first line of defense.

This information is everywhere to indicate that the village was only chosen by the demon because of bad luck.

The entire village had been burned down by the demons when they left, and there was hardly a single intact house, and the most intact ones had been burned to the ground and nearly half collapsed.

Walking along the road to the village, you can still see the dirt under your feet and some places, there are slightly dried blood stains.

The corpses of the entire village had been buried by the first patrol team to be found at the time, but less than half of the bones had been found, and the other half seemed to have been taken away by the demons.

This is not just the case, but the other that has been burned down.

And according to the latest news they got in Kane, two days ago, it was discovered that another village had suffered the same accident.

Now the number of destroyed villages has reached three.

The number of dead and missing civilians is approaching 10,000.

Now all the gathering places in the entire second line of defense are panicked.

It's not that the legions of the Volcanic Fortress didn't send soldiers to track down these demons, but they didn't even see the shadow of the demons, only that there were demons raging and some traces of demonic actions.

And because the front line is engaged in fierce battles with demons, it is impossible to send more soldiers to encircle, intercept, and conduct carpet searches.

Now that the first line of defense has been completely breached, there are even fewer soldiers to carry out these things.

In the end, such a task can only be entrusted to the mercenaries who come to participate in the holy war.

After searching the entire village, everyone gathered together and shook their heads wordlessly.

No one has found even the slightest bit of useful information.

Anyway, let's go to the other two destroyed villages and see if we can find some useful information, since it's been a long time since the first destroyed village was destroyed.

By the time they reached the second village, the situation was still the same, with no useful information.

In the end, I had to walk quickly to the third village, which had been destroyed only two days ago, and some of the bones had not yet had time to be disposed of.

In the distance, I saw a group of soldiers patrolling around the village.

When the soldiers saw Kane, they immediately took up their weapons vigilantly and slowly approached.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

The soldier at the head appeared to be the leader of the group, wearing a helmet and his face could not be seen clearly.

"We are mercenaries tasked by Commander Thackrem to investigate the demons that are wreaking havoc here."

Kane then took out the Commander badge that Sakerem had given him.

The soldier at the head approached and took Kane's badge to check it, and then handed it to Kane.

Beat his right hand on his chest and saluted Kane: "Your Excellency, Commander." ”

Kane nodded, then rolled over and dismounted with his teammates.

Several soldiers immediately came up to pick up the horses of the two and helped lead them.

"What's your name?" Kane asked at the leading soldier.

The soldier immediately leaned over and took off his helmet: "If you go back to your lordship, my name is Qidi, and I am a squad leader of the garrison corps. What do you command? ”

Listening to the captain's voice, I thought he was a young man, but who knew that under the helmet there was already a middle-aged face.

"Chidi, was it your team who discovered the destruction of this village?"

"Yes, two days ago, in the middle of the night, we were on a routine patrol, and we saw the fire of this village not far away, and when we arrived, there was not a single living person here."

Hearing Kiddy's words, Kane nodded, and then walked in with his team.

As soon as they entered the village, they could smell a strong smell of decay, which made everyone wrinkle their noses.

Looking at Kane's performance, Chidi immediately said: "Due to the lack of manpower now, we have only cleaned up some relatively complete corpses, and those corpses that are very completely broken, we have not had time to deal with them. ”

"There are more than half of the people in this village, is there no trace of them?" Kane asked casually, observing the situation in the village.

"Yes, sir."

"Well, then you go get busy first, let's walk around the village and see if there are any clues."

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can call my name out loud."

Kane and his teammates scattered again, searching for traces throughout the village.

This time, only some of the more peripheral and some houses in the center of the village were burned down, and some of the houses in the middle were not burned yet.

The village was inspected for bloodstains and some scraps of meat that had not yet been cleaned up.

None of these people were outside the village, and they were all scattered everywhere, and there was no gathering scene.

It didn't take long for Kane and the others to check the situation in the village, and then came to the entrance of the village.

Kiddy and their team are waiting for Kane here.

"Did you find any clues?"

Kane shook his head at Chidi's question, and then asked, "When the news spreads that the demons are raging, have there been militia guards or patrols in these villages?" ”

"Yes, my lord, even if there is no news of the demons raging, these villages and towns have their own militias patrolling and guarding, not to mention that there is already news that the demons are wreaking havoc in the area."

After hearing Chidi's answer, Kane nodded, and then led his horse and Mezik and they out of the village.
