When things we take for granted change, panic spreads rapidly, the joke of needless worry ends, and people truly realize that even the sun in our daily lives can bring danger.

Public opinion was boiling over in a strange way. Luna didn't know what the situation was in the Northern Territory, but in the Eastern Territory, the restless people began to spontaneously gather together to pray for the goddess's forgiveness.

In just a few days, thirteen heinous cases of human sacrifice occurred in Luna's jurisdiction alone, and those thrown into the fire by the panicked people were infants who had not even developed their own thoughts.

The world has probably gone mad. Children who don't even know what fear is are transformed into piercing and chilling cries by adults' morbid survival instincts.

Luna was furious, and her arms trembled uncontrollably. She ordered her soldiers to execute the demons who sacrificed the living, punishing as many as there were!

In an instant, heads rolled down, and blood stained the square. Compared to the goddess's forgiveness, people unanimously realized that the army's butcher's knife always came first.

Dangerous thoughts were temporarily contained, but prayers continued day and night, echoing in every corner of the streets and alleys.

"These people are just looking for trouble!"

As soon as Paul entered the tent, he saw Miss Luna throwing a tantrum.

Luna slammed the intelligence report she was holding onto the table. Now she finally understood what it meant to say that new clothes are not as good as old ones.

In the current situation, only Luna's personal guards can remain calm. They not only have a very good mindset and do what they are supposed to do, but they can also monitor the various crazy actions of the people for Luna.

Although the Duke had been constantly emphasizing his own struggles with them, he could not overcome the deep dependence the Northern Territories had on him.

For the Northern Army, even if the sky falls, the Duke will always hold it up. We only need to obey the Duke's arrangements to solve these problems.

The new recruits from the Eastern Territory, even if they wanted to imitate them, could not match the composure of the guards; their young faces were filled with shadows of worry.

"We have to give them some time to adjust, Miss. They'll get used to it," Paul said with a light cough.

"Hmph, let them wait then. Their goddess will surely pamper them!"

Organizing the information collected by the soldiers reveals that the lessons learned from ignorance are valuable social experiences that can serve as negative examples to educate future generations.

After Luna finished her work, Paul began to report the information he had just learned.

He took a deep breath and slowly delivered the news, the outcome of which was uncertain.

"A disaster has struck the capital of the Eastern Territory, and it is now a land of corpses. The remains of Duke Dale and Queen Barbara have been lost."

Upon hearing this, Luna's expression stiffened slightly. "The calamity of the undead?"

"I can't rule that out, but I suspect it's someone from the goddess's side."

Luna nodded. The calamity of the undead had not yet shown any signs on the land of the Eastern Territory, but she did not believe that the Eastern Territory was lucky enough to escape unscathed.

"Take me to see the scene."

While the army was still in the process of assembling, Luna and the others had some free time. If Paul's guess was correct, the goddess's henchmen probably had their eyes on the Eastern Territory even earlier than they did.

Luna had no idea what the other party wanted to do.

"Everyone died so suddenly."

Stepping out of the tent, a light rain was falling from the night sky. Luna abandoned her warhorse, sat in the carriage, and sighed softly to Paul.

Those rivals she wanted to defeat, those who should have become her badges of honor, were always unexpectedly killed by the goddess...

Paul didn't respond to the topic, but as they passed a corner, he got out of the car and pulled Lisa, who was doing her research, into the car.

"Have I told you that I've been very busy lately?"

With her wet hair draped over her forehead, Lisa flipped through her magic book with one hand while rapidly deciphering spells with the other, without even lifting her eyelids for a moment.

"Just consider it a way to help me relax; I really don't want to listen to their incoherent chanting."

Luna propped her face up with her hand, quietly watching her reflection in the window.

A drop of water slid across the glass, and the sound of Lisa turning the pages of her book paused for a moment. She pursed her lips and offered her suggestion.

"You know what, Luna? In Starfall City, there are also many new soldiers who are terrified of the demons."

"Whenever my father met people like that, he would take them to a strange place, and the next day they would become strong warriors."

Luna turned her head in shock, "That's amazing?!"

"Tell me quickly, what brilliant method did Count Camaro use?"

Lisa bit her pen and continued writing, saying calmly, "You must first swear that you won't tell His Excellency the Duke. This is a secret passed down through generations in our family."

Without a moment's hesitation, Luna immediately raised her hand and swore, in the name of the Charles family heir, that she would not reveal this secret to her brother.

Paul, feeling Luna's burning gaze, smiled helplessly and also raised his hand to make a vow.

Only after both of them made their promises did Lisa put down her pen and raise her eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"As you know, the Demon Kingdom values ​​strength above all else, so they often face brutal battles, and the destruction of families and the death of loved ones is a common occurrence in the Demon Kingdom."

"Among the demons, there are those who specialize in buying young and beautiful female demons who have lost their families and selling them to nobles of their own country or other countries."

"By chance, my ancestor came into contact with these demon pimps. He immediately saw their value and then secretly bought some female demons behind the back of the Charles family. Of course, there were also some male demons."

"Demons and humans have no reproductive isolation, or rather, demons and humans are basically the same in form. So to this day, Starfall City has maintained this tradition: to let new recruits understand demons from another perspective, so as to overcome their fear..."

Paul regretted it. He hadn't sworn an oath to hear such blasphemous things. If the Duke or Lady Eleanor found out, Count Camaro might not be able to withstand their wrath.

It's a small matter if I'm implicated, but it's a big deal if the Duke launches a trial because of it.

Luna wholeheartedly agreed. This method was good, and at least she wouldn't have any objections to it, as long as Count Camaro could strictly supervise the demons.

But his elder brother hated indulgence. In his eyes, indulgence was equivalent to depravity. As soldiers of the Northern Army, they had to strictly restrain themselves, let alone do such things with demons.

This can be seen from the fact that after his elder brother succeeded to the throne, Red curbed many of his bad habits.

Reid is definitely a bellwether of leadership preferences.

Luna was inspired by her decision to keep this secret.

Most fears stem from the unknown. As long as this unknown can be uncovered, people won't live in constant fear, as if the sky will collapse at any moment.

But even if I explain the effects of magic, the people won't understand... Sigh, if only Lady Janet were here, she would be so good at using some outrageous concepts to fool people.
