The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Such an important matter... is to be handed over to an outsider who doesn't even know who he is?"

Even if the demons had no objection, Aarons himself could not accept such a proposal.

I don't have any outstanding abilities, and I can't take the responsibility of getting the demons to leave here.

...No, am I trying to escape?

"To be honest, we are not sure what you can do. But we really don't have much time, so we can only pin our hopes on you."

"…How much do you know about the outside world now?"

After realizing that he was unconsciously avoiding the question, Aarons sighed softly and asked the question directly.

"We have actually been trying to actively communicate with the outside world over the years. In the past, there were also some lost travelers who strayed here... But since an army was stationed outside, we have lost the opportunity to learn about the outside world."

According to the elders' description, the last time they obtained information from the outside world was fifty years ago...so they didn't even know exactly where their shelter was on the continent.

"Those of us who are the third generation have basically no idea what happened in the past, and the fourth generation wants to go out and take a look... But the human army outside only wants to capture us and use us as slaves."

"How many people here can fight? Do you have any simple weapons and equipment?"

"I'm really ashamed. Among our two thousand people, only half are capable of fighting. Moreover, we are not using the fighting spirit and magic that you humans use... All we can use are some innate spells."

After a careful understanding, Aarons realized the fighting power of the demons.

Demons cannot use convenient powers like fighting spirit or magic to protect themselves, but they have bodies that are several times stronger than humans.

They can also use some special dark attribute spells similar to magic to attack enemies or protect themselves.

——And the key point is that these demons actually have a strength close to level four.

"Although the demons were said to be a warlike race in the past, we have long forgotten how to fight. We definitely have no chance of winning if we want to fight the human army outside."

But Aarons doesn't think so.

These demons underestimated their own combat capabilities - although the human army did have a lot of equipment and props for war, its absolute strength was not that strong.

Ordinary soldiers only have strength of around level three. According to the overall size of the army, only positions such as centurion or thousand-man commander will be held by people with strength of level four.

The number of magicians is even rarer - in the army, the ratio of magicians to the total number of people is about 1 to 20. That is to say, in an army of 20,000 people, there are only about 100 magicians.

So these demons can actually fight against two or three times the number of human soldiers.

"So is there any equipment here suitable for combat?"

"There aren't many usable materials here... We can't make combat armor for everyone."

It can’t be given to everyone, but it can be given to a small number of people.

After confirming this information, Aarons immediately came up with a solution.

"Gather those who are good at fighting and equip them with the best equipment we can make here. I will go outside to scout first and come back to make the next plan."

"Well, that's a good idea indeed...Does your Excellency need any equipment?"

"I don't have the ability to fight, so I can only ask Yalu to protect me."

The girl sitting on the side had no interest in these topics at first, but after hearing Aarons' request, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, do you want to go out?"

"If so many people want to move out, they must first understand the situation outside... I am also a human being, so maybe I can communicate with people outside."

This plan does sound impeccable, but Aarons seems to have overlooked one problem - although he is a human, a human with no fighting ability wandering around in a place like this with a little girl will definitely arouse suspicion from outsiders.

But no one realized this.

"Do you have any comments? If not, please help us solve the equipment problem as soon as possible. Yalu, let's go out for a walk now."

……

Aarons actually wanted to use this opportunity to confirm the exact location of this shelter.

Although Yalu can come and go freely here, she is essentially a demon beast and doesn't care about the affairs of the human world. So even if she is asked to investigate, she won't get any useful information.

Moreover, Yalu's "Fog Illusion" is the only way to prevent outsiders from invading after the barrier is broken - even if someone really finds a gap in the barrier, they will not be able to pass through the thick fog that will cause serious hallucinations.

"Brother, are you planning to investigate? What?"

"If possible, I'd like to find a map... If I can ask some people about the situation, maybe I can remember something."

Aarons certainly wanted to regain his memory as soon as possible, but now just trying to think about the past would cause a severe headache to interrupt his consciousness.

This may be the brain's self-protection method - perhaps it has been subjected to some unusually severe stimulation before, so the brain has to block the memory to prevent more serious damage.

“…Is this the gap in the barrier?”

"I left some of myself outside, so it was hard to be discovered."

After passing through the gap in the cliff at the edge of the shelter with Yalu, Aarons walked out of the range of the barrier.

This is a narrow valley full of various trees. Not only is there no human habitation nearby, the terrain is also so rugged that it is difficult to find a foothold.

Even if such a gap is discovered, it would be difficult for a large number of people to enter or exit.

“This fog…I see.”

“This is part of me.”

A light mist always shrouded the surroundings, allowing Aarons to quickly understand a concept that had been mentioned before - the so-called [Fog Fantasy Demon Star], which itself might be composed of such mist.

However, since she can condense into a human form from mist, she may still have an original appearance.

"Now that we're out, Yalu, can you confirm where someone is?"

"Probably, in that direction."

The human army stationed outside was in chaos for some reason - this was the information that Yalu had just brought back not long ago.

If he could take advantage of the chaos to confirm the other party's identity and obtain some information, then he might be able to find a safe way for the demons to leave.

Of course, it would be even better if I could know who I really am.
