"Under such circumstances, most people would huddle together to keep warm. When there are many people, there will always be a few bloody people who will go up to fight the devil, but the blood stains are scattered everywhere."

Then Kane stretched out a finger and said: "The burned area of ​​this village is much smaller than the two villages we looked at before. The fire also spread from the center and the edge, and there is only one side of this edge. These soldiers can There is no ability to put out the fires, the fires stop themselves."

"So it means they left in a hurry and didn't have time to set fire to the entire village, probably because the patrols found out what was going on here."

After hearing Kane's explanation, Claire seemed to have figured it out and gave such an answer.

Lumbe seemed to have figured it out at this time, he slapped his head and said: "With the character of a devil, how can you run away when you see people, and burn down the village in such a hurry.

They can't wait to kill all the humans they can see, and burn all these villages to waste before giving up. "

"If they are afraid that they won't be able to beat these soldiers, then with their abilities, it is impossible not to let even one villager run out of the village." Kane said.

Kane began to tell his teammates the answers he could think of now: "This group of demons is much more rational than those we encountered before, and they seem to be afraid of being discovered.

As for their strength, it was difficult to judge. They seemed to have suddenly appeared in this village, and then quickly killed those who resisted, frightened the remaining villagers, and then took them away. "

After speaking, Kane thought for a while, and then said to Yoyo next to him, "Project the map of this area."

Everyone looked at the map floating in the air.

Kane zoomed in on the map of the village they were in just now, pointed to the upper right corner of the village and said: "The fire on the periphery started to spread from this direction, and they should want to start from the center and set fire to the periphery.

But it was discovered by the patrol team, and then left in a hurry. In the end, it should have thrown another fire when leaving the village. "

Although Kane's simple reasoning is not necessarily correct, he can only think of it this way at this time, because these are the only information that can be found now.

Then Kane began to drag the map, pulling it towards the upper right of the village.

Not far from this village, there is a village called Poland Village, and there is another village after that.

and many more.

Kane suddenly realized something was wrong, because the village further behind was the first place they went to that was destroyed just now.

Quickly zoom out the map and look at the second destroyed village.

Although this village is far away from the Polish village, there are no other human settlements along the way, and the only obstacle is a small forest.

Seeing Kane's performance, Claire asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything else?"

He didn't speak yet, but zoomed in on the map, facing everyone, and then drew three straight lines from the three destroyed villages towards the Polish village.

From the above, it can be seen that there is no obstacle between Poland Village and the three destroyed villages. The only problem is the distance.

Claire and the others understood what Kane meant in an instant. From this point of view, there are indeed too many coincidences in this village.

It happened to be connected to the other three villages, and it happened to be in the direction where the fire spread outside the third village.

No matter how you look at it, there is something wrong with this village.

Kane got on his horse and greeted his teammates: "Come on, let's take a look at this village first, and be careful not to show hostility."

After everyone was ready, Yoyo began to lead the way for them.

Not long after the fast horse, Kane and the others saw Poland Village from a distance.

It was the afternoon at this time, wisps of cooking smoke drifted out from the village, and many farmers and a caravan could be seen coming in and out.

When Kane and the others approached, they found that there were two sentry towers on the outskirts of the village, on which several sentries were standing guard.

This time Kane didn't let the whole team act together, let Mequez scout on the outside, while Lombe protected him and guarded the surroundings by the way.

Ask Metzker to place a magic eye under Marshmallow and hover over Kane and the others.

And Kane took Claire and Lilulu to investigate.

The militiamen on the sentry tower saw Kane and they ignored them, as if they had already gotten used to it.

When Kane and the others came to the entrance of the village, a militiaman greeted them and asked flatteringly, "My lords, what do you want to do in our village?"

"It's nothing, it's just a routine patrol, you go and do your own thing."

"It's really hard for you, adults, so I won't bother you for now."

Walking into the village, Kane's martial intuition was fully activated, and his eyes immediately turned into eagle pupils.

There seems to be nothing unusual about this village. There are women doing housework, men who have just finished working, and children running around in the village.

Wandering around in the village, Kane suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, and looked in the direction of the smell of blood.

There seemed to be a slaughterhouse, and there was a butcher at the door who was selling unknown meat.

Kane walked over and asked, "Boss, what kind of meat is this?"

The butcher looked up at Kane, and didn't have any strange reaction. He pointed at the meat on the board one by one with the knife in his hand and introduced.

"This is wild boar meat, this is the venison that was hunted just this morning, and that piece is our own mutton. Would you like a piece, my lord?"

"No need," Kane said and left.

Chapter 214 Determining the Goal

Kane walked slowly on the dirt road in the village, thinking about the butcher shop just now.

As a hunter, Kane certainly knew that there was nothing wrong with his meat.

The problem was the smell of blood. That smell of blood was not a foul smell, but a sweet smell, the smell of human blood.

And Kane's eyes have already seen that this butcher has a strong magical reaction, which has reached the silver level.

In the room behind him there are two other magical reactions with the same magic as him.

This has fully determined the problem of this village, the question now is how big the problem of this village is.

As Kane was walking, he suddenly stopped a farmer carrying farm tools.

After being stopped by Kane, the farmer trembled visibly, and then asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, what can I do?"

Patting him on the shoulder, Kane said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask how many people have died in your village recently?"

After hearing Kane's question, the farmer's expression changed instantly, but he endured it and replied in a trembling voice.

"Return...Return to my lord, many people got sick and died last winter, and more people died during that time."

Hearing the farmer's answer, Kane nodded, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, thank you."

"No, no, no," the farmer immediately nodded and bowed, "It's good if you can help the adults."

Kane didn't reply and just walked away.

After wandering around the village, they met Claire and left the village.

Not far from the village, Kane and the others will meet together.

Kane asked Metzker, "How is it? Do you see anything wrong with the village from above?"

Metzke nodded: "We saw a total of 6 magic reactions in the village, all of which were silver."

"Claire, what about you?"

"I just saw a peasant woman holding a demon-like statue in her hand. Although she quickly hid it, I'm sure I saw it right."

After hearing Claire's words, Kane nodded, and then he turned his head to Lilulu.

"Li Lulu felt the malice of many people. Except for children, Li Lulu didn't find a good person."

Hearing Li Lulu's words, Kane couldn't help frowning.

That means that the entire village is hostile to Kane and the others. It is almost certain that the people in this village believe in demons. As for those who don't believe in them, they may have been buried in the last winter.

"What about Kane, shall we go straight in?" Lumbe asked beside him.

Although Kane really wants to go straight in, once and for all, but there are still many things that have not been clarified.

And there are too many people in this village, even if most of them are ordinary people, there is no threat to Kane and the others at all.

However, if these civilians were started to be massacred without notifying Sacrem, although it could be explained clearly, many problems would definitely arise.

There are also those villagers who were taken away, but no trace has been found yet.

By the way, this news can also be used to fish out some traitors in the second line of defense.

Thinking of this, Kane said: "Don't worry, let's investigate for a while tonight, and then make plans after finding out the situation."

Then they hid in a hillside not far from the village.

When night fell, Kane let Marshmallow fly over the village with a Metzker's magic eye.

I saw the few people who had reacted with magic power found during the day slipped out one after another.

Not only these few people, but also a few people who were hidden from Kane and the others.

They gathered in a hut.

Since I couldn't hear the voice, I didn't know what they were talking about.

Can only see their faces from above, and write them down.

It didn't take long for these people to leave the wooden house and return to their original houses.

At this time, Kane had already put on the skin of a nocturnal demon, escaped into the shadows, and scouted around the village.

Since he didn't know whether those people in the village had the existence of nocturnal demons, Kane didn't dare to go in deep, and only dared to scout carefully on the edge of the surrounding area.

Kane came to a house on the edge of the village and looked in from a window.

I saw that the window had been covered by a gray cloth.

A transparent long stick gently lifted a corner of the gray cloth, allowing Kane to see what was going on inside.

The owner of this house is a couple. The two of them are kneeling and sitting on the ground at this moment. In front of them is a small dark statue of a demon.

An uncomplicated rune was drawn with blood on the bottom of the statue.

The peasant woman pulled up the sleeve covering her arm, revealing the scars on her arm, took a knife and cut it off.

Scarlet blood slowly flowed out from the wound, dripping on the demon statue below.

The runes under the statue began to emit a faint red light.

After seeing the red light, the couple immediately started chanting words to the statue with pious expressions on their faces.

No wonder the whole village wears long-sleeved clothes, even the farmers after working.

It's just that Kane was not surprised by such a situation at the time, because the recent weather was not hot.

After seeing such a situation, Kane lowered the curtains, and then checked outside the surrounding houses.

Sure enough, as long as the houses with people in the room can be seen, the owners of these houses are doing the same thing as the couple.

It was basically confirmed that the entire village believed in demons.

After confirming the information, Kane went into the shadows and rushed towards their hiding place again.

Hideout not far from the village.

Metzker was telling Kane what the magic eye saw, and Kane had already told everyone what he saw.

"It seems that our actions today have alarmed these people." Kane said after listening to Mezik's story.

Claire thought for a while and said, "We didn't do anything outrageous today, it should just make them vigilant."

There's nothing wrong with thinking that way, but it's better to react quickly.

Afterwards, Kane and the others left the hiding place.

However, they did not immediately rush to the fortress of the second line of defense, but went to find the soldiers patrolling around.

Although the troops on the front line were a bit tight, the volcano fortress still took out a group of soldiers to patrol the surrounding area.

After Kane found these soldiers, he used the commander's badge given to him by Sacrem to make these soldiers temporarily change the patrol route.

These patrol routes were all set by Yoyo.

In order to ensure that the scope of action of Poland Village can be limited to the greatest extent, and they will not feel that there is any problem.

After all, the magnitude of the change is very small.

Chapter 215 Communication of the Message

A thick and towering huge fortress stands on the wasteland.

There are countless engineering equipment placed on the towering wall, and many excellent soldiers come and go on it, patrolling the surrounding situation.
