"Sagonto was already on high alert, yet the demons still managed to infiltrate. This is our negligence!"

When Owen said those words, the seventh-tier dwarf Temple next to him lowered his head in shame.

The city gate guards were his men.

He is fully responsible for the demons' infiltration of the city.

"However, the most important thing now is to find the monsters lurking in the city. Anno, are you willing to accept this commission? I will pay you according to the rank of the monsters I find: 10,000 gold coins for rank 5, and 100,000 for rank 6!"

Owen stared at Anno and asked.

The task only requires finding the monster and reporting it to the dwarf; no fighting is required.

Even when forced into battle, Anno's fighting strength is not weak.

With Anno's help, a lot of trouble can be saved.

Anno nodded without hesitation and said, "I accept!"

There were six high-ranking dwarves surrounding Lord Orn.

These are just the ones in the open; who knows how many more are lurking in the shadows.

These high-ranking dwarves will surely also be searching for the hidden demons.

In addition, there were a large number of dwarf soldiers.

With so many people conducting a thorough search, the hidden demons will definitely be thrown into chaos, and Anno's chances of finding the demons will increase.

The observer can ensure that Anno does not miss any targets.

Once traces of a monster are discovered, Anno can help deal with it as long as it's not a high-level monster.

Although the possibility is very small, it's possible that a high-level infiltrator might happen and be encountered by Anno.

Anno can also call upon the high-ranking dwarves in the city for support.

Even if Anno discovers a high-level monster at the same time as the monster is discovered by it, he can enter the Evil King's Domain to save his life the moment the monster makes a move.

The magical fluctuations emitted by a high-level demon when it makes a move will be instantly detected by other high-level demons in the city.

Anno won't need to worry about it then.

"General Mandel, General Temple, immediately begin a search for the demons within the city!"

Mandel and Temple immediately replied, "Yes!"

"The rest of you shall search different areas and find the demons within the city as quickly as possible."

As Owen gave his order, the high-ranking dwarves in the vicinity left one by one.

After they left, Owen searched the Feathered Demon's corpse and checked his storage ring.

However, he did not find anything unusual.

"Here's your spoils!"

After tossing the storage ring to Anno, Owen frowned and said, "These guys have infiltrated the city; it's probably related to the seal. Please be careful while searching for monsters, Guild Master Anno. If you encounter any powerful enemies, please call for help immediately!"

"Thank you for your concern, City Lord!"

After Lord Owen left, Anno sacrificed the wings and claws on the back of the shriveled corpse of the Feathered Demon.

"Owner!"

The winged demon, now a summoned creature, knelt before Anno.

"Unfortunately, apart from instinct, you have no memories of your previous life."

After Anno summoned the Feathered Demon back, he left with Ella and the others who were standing beside him.

......

The quiet night was disrupted by the battle between Anno and the Feathered Demons, as well as the search by the dwarven soldiers, which made Sagunto noisy.

Large numbers of civilians were awakened from their sleep.

There were also some human mercenaries who noticed something was wrong and were trying to gather intelligence.

Camilla, who lives in a tavern, appeared on the roof of the hotel.

A large number of dwarf soldiers carrying torches were running through the streets nearby.

Some dwarven sorcerers and mages also kept using detection devices to survey hidden corners or buildings.

Using detection devices, they can detect biological scents within a certain range.

If it's a demon, the alarm will be detected immediately.

Even sixth-order demons can be detected, but it's more difficult to detect high-order demons.

These detection devices are all sophisticated objects made by the dwarves.

The forging process is extremely complex.

The advantage is that it can be activated by low-level dwarven warlocks and mages.

"Helen, go find out what happened!"

"Yes, sir!"

Helen, who was standing behind Camilla, immediately jumped off the roof to search for intelligence.

The dwarves of Saguntor's actions were clearly a sign of a major problem.

For some reason, Anno's image immediately popped into Camilla's mind.

......

"Tch, those magical fluctuations earlier...so someone was indeed exposed?"

A demon with a black horn between its eyebrows stomped on the alarm-emitting detection device in the hand of a dwarf sorcerer lying in a pool of blood, then walked into a dark alley.

"Now that I've been exposed, let me buy some more time for the others."

Tonight is destined to be a turning point.

If the task cannot be completed...

No, we will definitely complete the mission.

Before everyone returns to the Lord's embrace, the Lord's divine decree will surely be fulfilled!

Foolish dwarfs, let us throw a grand party to welcome the arrival of our Lord!

Hehehe..."

A minute later, another squad of dwarf soldiers appeared on the street.

Upon seeing their comrade lying in a pool of blood, one of them immediately blew the alarm whistle.

Not long after, Mandel appeared there.

Coincidentally, Anno, who was nearby, also rushed over.

"Anno?"

Mandel, who was about to follow the trail of the demons, was surprised to see Anno.

"Lord Mandel, this is the first demon to be discovered. Please do not act rashly!"

After Anno walked over, he said to the puzzled Mandel, "I'll try to get more information out of them!"

"You have a way?" Mandel asked, somewhat puzzled.

All demons should have forbidden demonic runes on their bodies, but the crucial information cannot be revealed.

The Feathered Demon is an example.

Anno nodded and said, "If it's not crucial information, the forbidden magic runes shouldn't be triggered. And the locations of the other demons shouldn't be considered crucial information."

This is Anno's speculation; you can give it a try.

After a moment of contemplation, Mandel asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

"Use this!"

Anno pointed to the summoned creature beside him.

Mandel's pupils suddenly dilated when he saw the appearance of the summoned creature.

......

"There must be a lot of dwarves chasing me right now."

Finn the One-Horned Demon heard the commotion coming from the alley behind him, surveyed the surrounding terrain, and then hid.

ta ta ta ......

A series of footsteps approached.

When the other person ran out of the alley and came into Finn's line of sight, the latter's eyes widened suddenly.

"Theodore!"

Theodore, a member of the Feathered Demon race.

The Feathered Demon who was killed by Anno half an hour ago!

Theodore seemed to sense someone's presence in the shadows and stopped, looking warily into the shadows.

Finn waited a while and, finding no pursuers behind Theodore, couldn't resist crawling out from the ground in the corner.

"Theodore, what are you doing here?"

"Finn!"

When Theodore saw Finn, his face lit up with joy, and he explained, "Many dwarf soldiers appeared where I was, and they hid here while trying to evade capture."

"You haven't been discovered yet? You're really unlucky. I was discovered earlier and killed a squad of dwarf soldiers."

It won't be long before high-ranking dwarves catch up with you; coming here now is like walking into a trap.

Why don't we act as bait and relieve some pressure on the others?

The two people hiding on the roof, after hearing the conversation below, couldn't help but think to themselves: Sure enough, a lot of demons have infiltrated.

These two people were Anno and Mandel.

With Mandel's abilities, knowing Finn's approximate range would make it easy for him to track Finn without being detected.

Anno also possesses this ability.

Mandel and Anno had already caught up with Finn.

Anno also learned Finn's name using the Observer.

Therefore, Theodore, as a summoned creature, was able to 'detect' Finn's hiding place and call out Finn's name immediately.

In the darkness, Mandel and Anno exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

Based on Finn's prepared statement as bait, getting him to reveal the locations of other demons will not be an easy task.

If you're not careful, the other party might notice something amiss and see through your disguise.
