The Simple Life of Killing Demons

Volume 12 Chapter 83 : Deploy

"So it seems that Catudor has also been ransacked," Lin Xiang sighed.

"No! Catudor has not been ransacked. The buildings and structures are still intact. We went into some houses, and the stoves inside were still cooking. It's as if the residents disappeared into thin air," Jason looked at Lin Xiang and naturally offered praise, "Ah! You must be the legendary Sir Lin Xiang, right? I've heard so much about your great name. I'm Jason."

"Uh, hello."

"Hello, hello. Based on the strange phenomenon in Catudor, we believe it must be the work of traitors."

"Indeed, if the traitors are high-ranking spirits, they could come up with a reason to gather the spirits in some remote place without their knowledge, and then let the demon clan capture them. It would indeed be convenient for them," Wind Chimes said calmly.

"Oh? This beautiful lady has quite the insight. I have to say, you're right, milady. Not far from Catudor, we found some bloodstains."

"So, have you found the location of the demonic creatures?" Wind Chimes closed her notebook. She did not bother recording information about unimportant characters.

"Unfortunately, because Catudor has turned into a deserted city, although there are many footprints and claw marks on the ground outside the city, it was too chaotic for us to discern, so we came to Margado, only to meet your group. Looks like the people of Margado are all fine, wearing helmets and armor. That guy named Taroma or something, really exaggerated things," Jason mistakenly thought that Delza and Selga's spirits were residents of Margado.

"Taroma? What is it? Have you met him?" Lin Xiang had some impressions of Taroma. He was once Reidy’s suitor, and then he came up with a "difficult problem" that made Lin Xiang feel exasperated.

After Lin Xiang solved it, he never bothered Reidy again. Even during the Dragon-taming Festival held in the Dragonborn Village last time, when they encountered the sky dragon and were surrounded by spirits, he spoke up for Lin Xiang.

"Yeah! At the time, in the palace hall, wow, that guy was really something. He shouted in front of so many officials…" Just as Jason was about to say that Taroma could fly and fight hundreds of rounds with the officials, Lin Xiang interrupted him.

"How could Taroma appear in the palace hall?"

Naturally, the brothers, Mahler and Gobi, knew that Jason was prone to exaggeration, so they hurriedly said, "He encountered an attack by the traitors and fled to Mantillu."

"And his mother was injured. I heard that it was the guards of their Fog Castle who attacked them."

"I knew it, that coward doesn't have the courage to be a traitor." Reidy waved her hand. Her tone was filled with contempt for Taroma. If Taroma, who still had a lingering affection for Reidy, were present, he would definitely cover his head and cry again.

"So, how did all of you end up here? According to the usual protocol, Lord Wind Fury, Lord Reggie, are the lords of Delza, right?" Jason asked.

"It's a long story. It's all because of the demon invasion and the actions of those traitors." Wind Fury said, and as he spoke about the matter, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his teeth made a grinding sound.

––––

"That’s really terrifying! I didn't expect Delza to have experienced such a battle. These two must be the great dragons, right? Wow, they're really petite and cute!" Jason's gaze shifted to Valarie and Bellina.

"Look again, and I'll gouge your eyes out," Bellina glared fiercely, and Jason dared not look anymore. Despite her petite appearance, she was still a dragon.

"So… this is the Great Dragon God, right?" Jason's gaze lingered on Yalide's chest, somewhat dazed, "Uh, mi, milady, nice to meet you."

Myron, Carey and the others showed expressions of disbelief. Of course, no one believed that Yalide could be the Dragon God.

Yalide did not say a word, just standing there.

"Knowing that the royal palace is safe, we can rest assured. We know where the demonic creatures are, it's the demon abyss."

"The demon abyss?" Jason and the others were momentarily stunned. No spirit would be unfamiliar with the demon abyss. The fear of the demon abyss was engraved deep in their souls. Whenever the words were mentioned, they would feel a chill down their spines.

"Why would the demons go to the demon abyss?"

"Sacrifice," Lin Xiang uttered two simple words, but it made Jason and the others sense the complexity hidden behind those two simple words.

––––

"Understood! We will definitely convey this information!" That was the first time Jason showed a serious expression, at least it was the first time Remi had seen it. At that moment, Myron and Carey stopped their taunts that targeted Remi, currently completely entering mission mode.

They told Jason and the others everything they knew. After that, Lin Xiang and the spirits began to advance towards the demon abyss. With the information about Catudor and Mantillu, they neither had to split their forces, nor waste any more time. In the meantime, they could also receive support from the royal palace in Mantillu.

Since the spirits did not need to consume food for energy and many of them were beasts, their stamina was sufficient. It would only take them half a day to travel from Margado to the demon abyss. However, due to the need to take care of some humanoid spirits, they had to rest along the way, extending the duration of their journey to one whole day.

Upon receiving the report from Jason and the others, the Spirit King was greatly shocked and immediately led his troops towards the demon abyss.

Representing Mantillu and the two sides of Delza and Selga, two large groups set off towards the demon abyss.

By evening, Lin Xiang and the others were still a hundred kilometers away from the demon abyss.

Despite that there was still a distance of 100 kilometers between them and their target location, the spirits could all sense the unsettling aura emanating from afar. It made them all feel uncomfortable, as if they wanted to escape and return home to get away from that oppressive feeling.

"Everyone, have a rest. There will be a tough battle soon, a battle that will determine the future of us, spirits," Wind Fury ordered all the spirits to camp on the plains. The spirits drank from large pots of porridge, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Reidy, Silent Water, Dusty, and Wind Chimes, follow Gentle Water and lead the other spirits in long-range attacks," Reggie gathered the key members.

"Fire Dance, no, Fire Lotus, your situation is more special. Just go to the front lines, but don't push yourself too hard," Reggie said.

Fire Lotus sat there with no response.

Reggie did not mind and continued, "If it’s the usual, then the demonic insects are definitely the vanguard. They're not strong, but they have numbers. They will drain our stamina. If this had happened before, we might have struggled, but now, we have dragons…"

"Ah–oh!!!" The giant dragon nesting beside them roared.
