"?"

For a moment, Inai was completely confused...

Chapter 122: The plan has changed, let’s attack directly!

Everything has two sides...

...For example, in order to prevent Inai and Juna from going to the town to inform the authorities in advance, Mava and Aenekos detained the two little guys.

But they obviously forgot a very important point...

...As two underage children, if they didn't come home at night, their family would never be able to rest assured.

This kind of town is a familiar community where everyone in the town is familiar with each other. If two children were really lost, it would be impossible for everyone in the town to remain indifferent.

In other words, even if they detained the person, the outcome would not develop as they expected.

But there are two sides to every coin... Today is an exception.

Today is the Autumn Harvest Festival, and the lively celebration will last until nightfall, that is, at least until the evening curfew. Even if the two little ones don’t go home, their family members will simply think that they are having a great time at the celebration.

So, at least so far, the disappearance of the two little guys has not caused any commotion.

However, there are two sides to every coin...

"Hey, why isn't the town quiet at all? Don't those humans sleep or rest?"

Even from a distance, the bright lights of the town in the distance could be seen from the grove, which made Mava and Aenekos a little at a loss for a moment.

“…Today is the Harvest Festival.”

Over there, Ina, who had been trapped for a day, couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

Her mood was very delicate now. She was captured by the demons, which should be a very scary thing.

However, these demons did not look like the monsters that he had seen before. After all, Inai had witnessed the invasion of demons several years ago. How could he describe the invading demons at that time...

...The style of the painting is completely different from the group of Crouching Dragons and Phoenixes in front of me

If we have to make a comparison, the group of monsters that rushed into the town without saying a word a few years ago, burning, killing and looting everywhere, are very consistent with the general public's perception of the demons.

On the contrary, the group of people who appeared in front of him at this moment looked more like they were playing cosplay...

Of course, although it looks like cosplay, whether it is the skin of Mava or the spider girl of Aenekos who is the size of a figure, it is obvious that they cannot be ordinary humans.

This is definitely not something that a cosplayer can do, so they probably didn't lie, they are indeed real demons.

Mawa said that as long as Ina and Juna obeyed her, she would not hurt them...

...Inai would definitely not believe this at first, but the fact is, if Mava and Aenekos wanted to harm them, they would have no chance of waking up.

As for lying... Inai couldn't think of any reason why Mava and Aenekos would lie to her. She was a girl from a rural border town, with no special features in terms of birth or background. She couldn't think of anything worth being lied to.

Besides, although Mawa's attitude towards the two girls was not very good, she did not say any bad words to them. Mawa seemed very impatient to interact with the two girls and left them to the Goblin Mother.

...Yes, according to Mava, those green-skinned lolis who looked about the same age as them, or even younger than them, were goblins.

Are you kidding me, a goblin looks like this?!

In human cognition, goblins are indeed a very "famous" demon race, mainly because these creatures have the same strong vitality as cockroaches, and can form a tribe in a dilapidated cave in a corner.

After all, these creatures can rely on their vigorous vitality to maintain a large population in a ghost place like the Demon Realm. When they arrive on the main continent, where the living environment is many times more favorable than that of the Demon Realm, it's like they are an invasive species in an environment with no natural enemies. Just thinking about it tells you what kind of situation this will be.

It can be called an ecological disaster...

Moreover, goblins have a very bad reputation among humans. The reason is due to the way goblins develop their population. These creatures can reproduce by self-division just like slimes, but the efficiency is not high. The more efficient method is... to use other living creatures as mothers.

Regardless of race or gender, as long as the creature is alive and breathing, the goblins will use it to give birth to offspring.

In essence, the reproduction method of this thing is more like "parasitism", just like a fungus, the larvae parasitize other species to absorb nutrients and grow...

Because this reproduction method is completely different from that of ordinary creatures, the goblins' reproduction speed and scale are amazing. Unfortunately, the original goblins have been killed by Livi.

...Or in other words, all the original demons in the entire Demon Realm have been wiped out in one fell swoop thanks to Livi's efforts.

In a sense, there is no longer any "demon" crisis in this world...

The crisis that has plagued mankind for thousands of years has been resolved by the current Demon King himself. Of course, humans are definitely unaware of this.

As the first humans to come into contact with demons since then, Ina and Juna both clearly felt that the demons they encountered this time were completely different from those they had encountered in the past.

Especially the group of goblins, who were chattering around Juna and Ina. Maybe it was because their appearance was indeed non-threatening. Although Ina was still quite alert, Juna seemed to be able to communicate with the goblin girls in a simple way.

After all, although their movements were restricted, Mava and Aenekos had no intention of making things difficult for the two little ones. They left them to the Goblin Mother so that they could monitor them... and kill time at the same time.

Jiuna tried to communicate with him and found that the other party did not seem to be aggressive and seemed to be a little bolder, but Ina was still very vigilant.

She was well aware of the dangers of the demons. The last time the demons invaded, Juna was still young, so her memory of it was not very clear. But Ina would never forget it.

After all, her father was injured at the hands of the demons. If Levi had not arrived in time, his life would probably be in danger.

Although the demons this time look completely different from the last invading demons, demons are still demons...

...and, apparently, they're also planning to invade the town

However, at this moment, the invasion plan has obviously encountered a little trouble...

"…Oh no! If things keep going like this, what will happen to our plan?"

According to the original plan, they would "enter the village quietly, without firing a gun"...they would suddenly attack after everyone in the town fell asleep, catching them off guard.

But now the town looks like it's going to be noisy all night long, with no intention of quieting down at all.

Originally, the worst that could happen was that we would have to wait for two more days, but according to the information that Aenekos had received before, powerful people would be coming from the empire soon.

Therefore, we cannot delay any longer. After all, controlling the small town here is only the first step. We must then attack the nearby border fortress.

The longer we delay now, the more troublesome the subsequent actions will be...

...There was no other way. Seeing this, Aenekos could only speak to Mava helplessly.

"There's a change of plan, let's just go ahead..."

"..."

Well, today is the fourth update~

Chapter 123: Infiltration failed, sudden attack!

Meanwhile, in the town of Gamélica...

...The lively celebration was still going on, but the sky was gradually getting dark. Although the adults were still holding a lively dance party in the square in the center of the town, most of the children were already beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

Even if there were still some who could continue to enjoy the event, the adults had already set a curfew. And even if the curfew was later, there was no point in visiting the celebration alone because the other children who were traveling with them had already gone home. What's more, the celebration lasted for more than one day, so naturally the event ended.

In the busy square, two couples were looking around anxiously, asking around for something.

"Excuse me, have you seen our Juna and Ina? They haven't returned home yet..."

At this moment, more than an hour had passed since the two little ones were released from the gate, and the adults in the family naturally noticed something was wrong.

After all, the two little guys were usually very obedient and had never broken the curfew, even though today was a rare celebration.

The parents who noticed the abnormality naturally asked around anxiously. However, after asking around, they found out that the latest person who had seen the two little guys was at a theater performance in the daytime. After that, the two little guys left the town, and it seemed that they had never been seen since then.

"Varied……"

After all, everyone in the town is familiar with each other, and there are no secrets in going back and forth. As long as they compare the time with each other, they can clearly sort out the action plan.

In other words, after the two little guys went out in the morning, they first went out of the town, probably to the woods outside the town, and then returned to the town when the Autumn Harvest Festival began, then walked around the town, and then went to watch the theater performance.

This was pretty much what I had thought at the beginning, but for some reason, the two little ones left the troupe halfway through the performance, then left the town and disappeared.

After clearly figuring out the trajectory of the action, the parents of the two little guys were naturally anxious, especially Ina's father.

This man dragged one leg and walked with a limp. Everyone knew that he had been injured in the war of aggression by the demons while trying to protect his wife and daughter, and he almost lost his life...

Although being injured is equivalent to being half disabled in this world, his value as a labor force is greatly reduced, and he has to burden his family with the cost of medical treatment, but his actions still make people around him respect him as a man. Over the years, his wife has also been loyal to him and cared for him deeply.

At this moment, the man was anxiously asking around for news about his daughter. He dragged his crippled leg and tried to walk faster but he couldn't walk fast at all. The more anxious he was, the slower his movements became.

He hated his leg. Seeing this, his wife couldn't help but speak...

"Dad, you should go home and rest first. I'll go find your daughter..."

Over there, Jiuna's parents also followed suit, "Yeah, don't go back and fail to find your daughter, or else you'll get yourself into trouble again..."

Although this was the case, Ina's father shook his head vigorously. "How can I feel at ease if I can't find Ina? Don't worry about me. Go ahead. I'll go ask with you guys separately..."

He also knew that his actions had hindered the other three, so he made such a suggestion. But how could the other three be willing to leave him, an injured man with limited mobility, behind?

But they were naturally more worried about their missing daughter. How could such a thing happen during the Autumn Harvest Festival?

Suddenly, they all had a rather ominous premonition in their hearts, as if there was a sense of oppression that a storm was about to come, and a shocking rainstorm was about to come...

"Did they go to the grove outside the city? Well, didn't someone come to announce it this morning..."

Karl and Baiyi did not show up due to their identities. This was Karl's suggestion. After all, it was a rare Autumn Harvest Festival and he did not want to disturb the townspeople's interest. If he showed up with his identity as a general, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble, and the town would definitely have to spend extra energy to entertain them.

And they had important things to do, so naturally they didn't want to delay any further.

As for Baiyi, he didn't want to have too much connection with the "remote country people". Of course, he didn't like the way the small town entertained him, a person from the empire, so he agreed to Carl's proposal.

Therefore, in the end, they just arranged for a few soldiers to come to the town and issue a notice, informing everyone that if they had seen any unfamiliar faces recently, they should report it immediately.

There is no specific thing to say...

Anyway, we can't expect the residents of this small town to help catch people. It's enough as long as they can provide some information and clues. There is no need for these people to know more.

Therefore, the notice simply stated that we should be careful of unfamiliar faces recently.

This is common sense for a small border town like this, so naturally not many people care about it and just treat it as a daily warning.

But when I thought about it at this moment, I seemed to sense something strange.

Could it be that the "outsider" did it?

It can only be said that it is far from the truth, but it cannot be said that it is completely unrelated.

According to the information obtained, the two little guys finally left the town, and the only place they could go nearby was the woods.

It is true that both little guys like to go to the woods, and they know the reason very well.

…because there is a statue of Levi there.

Even until now, Ina's parents still respect Levi from the bottom of their hearts, but the emperor of the empire has already made a personal judgment on the matter. Border folks like them are not even worth a hair compared to the empire, let alone being unable to defeat the emperor.

If the empire makes a move, the whole town will suffer, so naturally no one dares to go against the empire's policies.

Therefore, they could only follow the crowd and superficially agree with the empire's judgment.

But adults know how to judge the situation, but children don’t know that, which gives Ina’s parents a headache. Every time Ina says something “outrageous”, they can only shut him up by saying “what does a child know”. They are afraid that the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it seriously, and that this silly child’s nonsense may bring trouble to themselves.

For example, right now...

In short, realizing that things might be more serious than they had imagined, they immediately decided to go to the grove to find out what was going on.

Just as they were about to leave...

...An accident happened

A loud bang broke the peaceful and joyful atmosphere of the town. A ball of orange-red fire suddenly flew over the entire town, and then exploded into thousands of pieces in an instant. The strong light illuminated the entire night sky like daylight.

Then, a crazy female voice came from outside the town, a thousand or eight hundred feet away.

"Haha, give up, what's the point of infiltration? Attention, all troops, break through head-on!!!"

"?!"
