A group of soldiers, looking all over the city, finally found what they were looking for.

In the woods behind the city hall, there was a hidden hole.

The hole was large, the passage was twisting and wounding, and there was some strange slime with it.

When you step on it, it will be very sticky to your feet, and it will take a lot of effort to pull your legs out.

After walking through this winding passage, you can see a huge hole in front of you.

There were a lot of people sitting inside, people who were so numb that they seemed to have no soul.

There should be about seven or eight hundred, crammed into a pile.

This hollow is very huge, and seven or eight hundred people occupy only a small part of it.

The mudstone around the hollow is full of claw marks, and at first glance it looks like the handiwork of the demon of fear.

Fear demons are born to make holes, and within a day or two, they can dig a huge insight for themselves to hide and rest.

Seven or eight hundred people sat quietly and said nothing.

And in front of these people, there are many troughs of earth, and there are many foods mixed with wheat, dough, bran water, and so on.

"It's raising people like pigs."

Abner's face turned pale, and he felt that his dignity as a human being had been seriously challenged.

Hardy looked left and right, frowned and asked, "Didn't these people react?" ”

This place was found by the knights, and naturally it was one step ahead of Hardy's arrival.

It stands to reason that an attempt should have been made to save these people.

Abner wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said, "They didn't react, even if we dragged them out of here, they would climb back on their own." ”

Hardy nodded and said, "I should have been mentally controlled and temporarily lost myself." ”

"Can't you do it either?" Abner asked, "I've heard that your lordship is very magical. ”

Hardy shook his head: "I'm a real-combat spellcaster, and I'm not good at this kind of delicate operation. Go ask Ms. 'Loe' to come over, and she might have a solution. ”

Abner nodded and left immediately.

At this time, a general walked over next to him and said, "Hadi, we found a huge magic array, but it seems to have failed, you may be able to come and have a look." ”

Hardy followed the general, and at the end of the cave, there was indeed a huge magic circle.

And around the magic array, there were a lot of messy and obvious footprints, so many, dense, layered.

"It's not going to be a one-way teleportation array."

Hardy muttered that if that were the case, it would explain why 200,000 people had disappeared.

It is estimated that he was teleported to the Demon Realm.

"Mobilize some people and come and guard this place."

Hardy was afraid that this was not a one-way teleportation, so he sent some more men over just in case.

It wasn't long before Pershings hurried from outside, carrying the Starlight Scepter and smiling softly at the sight of Hardy.

Now she doesn't know how much she likes the starlight power in her hands, even if she is doing experiments, she will put it in a place where she can see.

Hardy walked over and said, "Sorry to interrupt your research, but we need you to see, can these people be saved?" ”

By this time, Pershings had already spotted the people, and she covered her nose and approached her.

After looking at it, he said, "It's indeed mind control, but the technique is very rough, and it's not difficult to unravel." ”

With that, she waved the starlight scepter in her hand, and a white energy field appeared on the heads of the crowd, and then exploded, turning into a little starlight and submerging into the bodies of each of them.

Soon, the people's godless eyes gradually became alive and focused.

They began to wake up, but immediately began to scream.

Start running around.

But there were a lot of soldiers around, and they stopped these people, grabbed them, and began to shout loudly for these people to calm down and calm their emotions.

Soon, the people also realized that they were all humans, and began to sit on the ground, lost their souls, or cry loudly.

Some have to rush out to find their families...... Others remembered what had happened before they were mentally controlled, and immediately fainted.

This kind of scene didn't need to be dealt with by Hardy, he pulled Pershings to the very end of the cave, pointed to the magic circle there, and asked, "Is it still possible for this magic circle to be activated?" ”

After checking it for a while, Pershings shook her head: "The one-way teleportation magic array, and it is a standard, has become invalid. ”

The teleportation technology of the demons is unique in the world.

Even the World Tree's astral teleportation is still a little worse than the demon's teleportation technology.

After all, they are capable of teleporting a large number of soldiers from one plane to another, and they are forced by the environment.

"If the 200,000 people who disappeared in this city were teleported from here, it doesn't make sense." Hardy said.

Pershings leaned against Hardy, leaned lightly against the young man, and asked, "What is an unreasonable law?" ”

"They could have sent 200,000 soldiers over." Hadi's face was solemn: "If there are 200,000 Demon Realm soldiers in this city, it is impossible for us to attack it, and they can also use it as a base to mobilize forces behind enemy lines and expand their territory." ”

Pershings looked at Hardy, her eyes full of tenderness, and she smiled slightly, "I don't know tactics and strategy, but from a magical point of view, teleportation requires energy. The more mass an object is transported, the greater the amount of energy required. And if the object contains magical energy, the amount of energy required will be much higher, after all, it is necessary to resist the interference of magic. ”

As soon as Pershings explained this, Hardy understood.

Teleporting humans who don't have any combat power back can be turned into food for the Demon Realm, which is actually very cost-effective.

But if you teleport demon soldiers and ordnance, it's not cost-effective.

After all, the demon warriors are big per capita, and they also contain not weak dark magic.

"The energy required to send 200,000 humans back to the Demon Realm is estimated to be small, otherwise a standard magic array will not be able to take it." Pei Xingsi checked the residual energy source on the magic array, and then said, "If you want to send the fully armed demon warriors over, it is estimated that there will be less than five thousand people. ”

5,000 people...... It can't make too big waves in the rear of human beings, and it is easy to be surrounded and suppressed.

Purely a waste of soldiers' lives.

Hardy stood up and sighed softly: "In other words, there is no way to snatch these people back from the Demon Realm?" ”

Pei Xingsi shook her head slightly: "It's almost impossible." ”

Hardy didn't speak, stood still for a while, and then walked out of the cave.

And the soldiers who stayed here listened to the conversation between the two.

After Hardy left, they couldn't help but burst into foul mouths.

After all, after seeing those two bone piles in the Lord's Mansion, they understood what kind of treatment these 200,000 disappeared people would be in the Demon Realm.

Two-legged sheep.

And they have no way to save these vanished people.

First sorrow in my heart, then anger arose. (End of chapter)
