At this time, Petters has fallen into a strange scene.
Unlike the large-scale impacts encountered by the human world, the situation encountered by Pettus was mainly caused by a small number of intermediate demons acting alone.
Intermediate demons in the mixed-blood territory are equivalent to the mixed-blood magic professions of the second to fourth rings, including demon hunters, magic swordsmen, etc. Because the demons are more scientific, their comprehensiveness is even slightly inferior in single combat.
It's just that as a settlement, there are still many more people who have no contact with magical abilities at all.
Intermediate-level demons have many strange abilities and forms, of which only a few are in human form. The basic attributes of demons in non-human form will be higher. However, without the ability to shadow or certain stealth skills, it is less likely to cause panic.
The real danger is the humanoid demons. Since there are too many types of mixed-bloods in the penal colony, individual differences are very huge. Among them, a large proportion of mixed-bloods have demonic blood. Humanoid demons can enter the city directly from the city gate without causing riots.
The lord of Pettus is not a fool. He has had sporadic contact with the little devil's lord army and was required to conduct strict city gate inspections, but it was just a formality.
It has little to do with Yang Feng Yin's violation, but it has nothing to do with it.
Pettus is located at the entrance of the Moist Forest (northeast side of the northern area). Before there were lords here, it was already a front-end supply station for explorers in the Moist Forest. There are many adventurers from various groups and regions. Normally, those responsible for guarding the city gate It was impossible for the guards to tell whether any of the locations were real or not.
Most of the humanoid demons have no deficiencies in intelligence, so naturally they won't speak Demon World language to cause trouble, so the inspection of the city gate is like a sieve. Occasionally, some problems can be found, but more people are sneaked in.
If an individual works in the city, and the lord's army takes an average of more than an hour to arrive at the place where security incidents occur, it will not have much effect.
But even in such a favorable situation, the advantages that the demons can take are very limited.
The story started two months ago. At that time, there was a demon who had a little problem in choosing the time, place and target of the attack. This person used a low dose of hemolytic toxin, and only needed to lightly scratch the skin with his fingernails. It can be fatal in half a day.
It stands to reason that it is quite easy to kill without defense, but the target misunderstands you as a gay. Without the influence of some abnormal environment, normal people will react to the touching behavior of strangers of the same sex, let alone a mixed race who is keen on reproduction activities. .
As a result, with the help of the melon-eating people, the evil demon tribe was transferred to a security point of the Lord's Army on the spot.
The key point is that the process of transporting the melon-eating crowd is relatively long. By this time, the demon's target hybrid has shown obvious signs of hemolysis and poisoning, including ulcerated wounds and difficulty breathing.
The evidence of premeditated murder is conclusive.
The demons are still trying to quibble, but it's useless. The lord army is worried about not being able to deal with the superiors. It doesn't matter if you are a demon or not, since you have committed a crime at this time, you must be!

Of course, the demon went directly back to the River Styx in the end, but his revelation caused his fellow demons to fall into a strange situation.
Slave traders around Pettus took notice.
What? Are there demons? That is something without household registration!
In an environment where the slave system is ubiquitous, household registration is a talisman for ordinary people. Of course, whether the slave catcher recognizes it or not depends on the strength of the lord. If the lord is killed, then the whole city will belong to the new lord before he declares his power. potential goods.
Catchers are doing business, not risking their lives. Even if the city is really broken, they will not touch high-risk targets, but the demons are not among them!
After all, from a purely commercial perspective, demons that have not been seen in three hundred years are also an absolutely scarce commodity type. Some large households are willing to pay high prices to buy them, and they are worth paying a certain price.
The little devil is not very interesting. It has a huge gaping mouth or a bald head, which is considered ugly for a mixed race. Even if it tastes heavier, it is skinny and thin and weighs less than 40 kilograms. It can be broken after playing with it for two times. There is also the issue of quantity. Too many of them reproduce too quickly. In short, they cannot be sold at a high price, and excellent trappers are unwilling to move them. Slave traders can just buy them directly from adventurers who go in and out of the humid forest.
The intermediate humanoid demons are different. The intermediate humanoid demons, including enchantresses, vampires, and mind flayers, are just within the aesthetic scope of most demon masters, and even if their own strength cannot be used as personal guards, it seems A gate is more than enough. If you can catch a beautiful one, even if it is sold directly to a slave trader, the money you make will be enough to survive for several years.
The human race is a circle creature, and a few in the catcher circle got the news. The spread of the news soon expanded, and heroes from all walks of life arrived in Pettus with the intention of showing off their talents.
Today, two months later, if we count carefully, there are probably many more trappers in Pettus City than demons.
Many trappers even form their own teams to catch in the humid forest because they feel that the city is too busy.
Both inside and outside the city have their own advantages and disadvantages. The city is safe, but requires strong discernment or intuition, and sometimes you have to act as a detective; the outside is dangerous, but the goal is clear. Once successful, you can often catch a few. , If it doesn't work, just grab a few little devils and go back to pay for the drinks.
Catchers from all walks of life realized their own playing styles on different tracks, providing slave traders with a steady stream of high-end products, and everyone was happy.
However, everyone who was making great plans didn't know yet that Lord Pettus was ready to run away at any time.
The exploration expedition acted as an emissary.
The people in the exploration team were also a little confused. Fortunately, there were plans A and B after the order was issued. If the city was not broken, they would be transferred to envoys on the spot to help the king with a message.
"If Pettus cannot hold on, the Phoenix Kingdom is willing to take in the people who survived the war."
Lord Pettus was in a good mood today, otherwise he would not have met these guys claiming to be envoys who appeared out of nowhere, but when he saw the medals worn by several of them, he knew that they were not ordinary people.
"Phoenix Kingdom? Why haven't I heard of it?" Lord Pettus thought it was some big lord in the east and south of Shannan.
"My king is the ruler of the dark land." The exploration team member reported his title.
The night tribe and the sharp blade lived in a special environment before arriving in the dark land. They had no awareness of their abnormality at all, but if the outsiders could see ultraviolet light, they would find that their eyes would glow when they chanted the name!
Lord Pettus happened to be a five-ring magic swordsman with a large number of permanent enchantments on his body, so he immediately noticed the anomaly.
After a moment of silence, he tried to repeat in a language that only he knew in the entire city: "The ruler of the dark land?"
The language proficiency cannot distinguish the unfamiliar language immediately, and the other party should not be able to understand it, but as soon as the words were spoken, several people's eyes glowed purple.
Several people were obviously of different races, some had long and short horns on their foreheads, and some had bone blades on their elbows, but their eyes glowed the same way.
It's not good, this has gone beyond the scope of "knowledge".
"Does the city lord not know where the dark place is? It..."
"No, no, no, I know, I have admired that lord for a long time." Lord Pettus interrupted quickly, fearing that it would lead to something more weird. He knew about the dark place, but his admiration was obviously a lie. , “I just need to think about it, yeah, it needs some time to think about it.”
The envoy shook his head: "This is not to persuade you to surrender. You don't need to think about it now. It won't be too late to wait until the city is destroyed. My king is just trying to give the people who have suffered from the war a place to stay."
...Why do you feel you are being sarcastic?
The expression doesn't look like much.
