Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 6: Life is not more than three
"Ow~"

"Ow~"

Amid the young dragon's unwilling howls, a team arranged by Rondo escorted it back and forth. The team was led by a centurion to prevent the young dragon from running around on the road.

When the young dragon Elisa was pulled farther and farther away on the huge makeshift cart, the guards, who had rested for a long time, set off again and marched quickly towards the border. After dealing with his "private affairs", Eli continued to act as an unknown scanner, keeping an eye on everything around him at all times.

For the next few days, the team marched non-stop on the road except for eating and sleeping. They were not too far from the target Demon Hunting City. In this place, Eli was able to include the Demon Hunting City in his scanning range.

From what he perceived from afar, the entire Demon Hunting City seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze. There were few civilians in the city, and most of them were soldiers fighting against the demons. Among them, there were a small number of "people" exuding the aura of the demons lurking in various places in the city, carrying out sabotage operations in the dark from time to time.

"Take a break for half an hour, then march all the way to Demon Hunting City. We must enter the city before dark today."

Eliel stopped his horse and passed down the order. Under his order, the entire guard stopped immediately and then dispersed to find a place to rest temporarily.

For the next half hour, Eli got off his horse, found a big tree to lean against, and then closed his eyes to take a nap. To outsiders, it seemed that he was really tired and wanted to take a rest. In fact, his soul had already entered the Demon Hunting City at this time. With his current strength, as long as it was within his "scanning" range, his soul could arrive in an instant.

Eli entered the city alone without telling his subordinates. Naturally, what he was going to do was not convenient for others to know. In his opinion, the demons on the battlefield were easy to deal with. He could just rush up and kill them without leaving them a chance to breathe.

The traitor hidden within his own ranks was a nuisance. To catch him and kill him directly, he had to prepare evidence to prevent other soldiers from misunderstanding or even becoming disloyal. But collecting evidence of treason was not an easy task, and Eli had neither the interest nor the patience to do it.

In half an hour, Eli's soul traveled throughout the entire Demon Hunting City. All the demon traitors who were carrying out and planning sabotage operations died silently in deserted places. Their bodies all combusted without fire, and not even ashes were left. Those demon traitors who were still hiding were named one by one by the King of Hell because they were contaminated with the devil's aura, and they disappeared without a trace, along with their souls.

As for whether there is a possibility of manslaughter, Eli is still confident about this. No one will be let off, and there will be no wrong killing.

When his soul came back to his senses, Eli opened his eyes from his sleep, and then naturally summoned his subordinates to continue marching towards the Demon Hunting City.

Eli estimated the team's marching speed very accurately. Before it got dark, the guards had arrived at the Demon Hunting City. At this time, the Demon Hunting City was in a brief chaos because of the sudden lack of "people".

After all, some demon traitors might just be trouble-making hooligans or ordinary soldiers, while some of them had risen to the position of centurion or even higher during their lifetime. When the acting lord of the Demon Hunting City was overwhelmed by the collective disappearances, Eli arrived.

The acting city lord came just in time. He led his troops out of the city to welcome the real city lord into the city, and then threw away the trouble, handed over the city lord's seal on the spot, and ran away directly after leaving office. The acting city lord Mann was originally a general of the border army. After the previous city lord of the Demon Hunting City died in battle, he temporarily took over the position of city lord before the new city lord took office. Mann, a pure military general, was not suitable to be a city lord. He had a headache when something happened. He was stiff after being the city lord for a few days. Fortunately, when he ran into trouble again, the new city lord arrived. If he didn't run away now, when would he?

After Mann left, Eli led his troops into the city. Deputy General Rondo did not follow him to the city lord's mansion, but went to the military camp with his guards.

Eli and two personal bodyguards moved into the city lord's mansion, which was not much more luxurious than a private residence. The servants left behind by the previous city lord came to pay their respects to the new city lord and were sent away by Eli.

There was no welcome ceremony, let alone a welcoming dinner. Not only did Eli want to keep everything simple, but the conditions in the Demon Hunting City also forced them to keep things simple.

As the new city lord, Eli simply explained the disappearance case that happened today and said that he would investigate it in detail, and then there was no further news. He and his troops arrived at the Demon Hunting City long after the incident, so naturally no one would think that the disappearance case was related to the new city lord.

The indifferent treatment of the matter by the Lord of Eli was regarded as the common arrogance of the children of nobles, and no one commented on it.

Afterwards, the City Lord's Mansion sent out a message that City Lord Eli came to the Demon Hunting City to fight. He was a pure warrior and he dominated the battlefield. Everything else would be handled by Rondo, whom he had just appointed as the deputy city lord.

That night, after a simple dinner, Deputy City Lord Rondo went to deal with numerous affairs with a bitter face, while City Lord Eli took Jessica and Cecilia to the city wall facing the outside world.

Standing on the tall city wall in the cold wind, Eli looked at the misty world in the distance. His eyes pierced through the darkness and haze and looked directly at the demon camp.

That’s right, there is a demon camp less than ten kilometers away from the Demon Hunting City. The Demon Hunting City is the front line, and it really is the front line. There is a possibility of war at any time and anywhere, or it can be said that war is going on at any time and anywhere. The current tranquility is just a rare rest time.

A few days before Eli came to the Demon Hunting City, a battle of moderate scale had just taken place outside the Demon Hunting City, with hundreds of casualties (demons) on both sides. At that time, the battle was commanded by the acting city lord Mann. In an even earlier battle, the former city lord was injured on the city wall by a high-level demon who had forced his way onto the city wall first. After the battle, he died of his injuries in the city lord's mansion.

This is war, a battle between two worlds that has lasted for a thousand years. On one side is the invading demon world, and on the other side is the coalition of hundreds of races defending the territory. Countless lives are lost on the battlefield every day. If it were not for the profound foundation of the hundreds of races, the human race with amazing fertility and growth rate, and the almost endless number of sea races, they would have been swallowed up by the demon race, whose entire population is a soldier.

But even so, the coalition of a hundred races a thousand years later was actually no longer worthy of the name of a hundred races. During the long war, more than twenty races had disappeared from this world forever.

"For thousands of years, the battle lines of the coalition forces of hundreds of races have been retreating again and again. Now, half of the continent has fallen into the hands of the demons. Starting from me, the front lines of Demon Hunting City will no longer retreat. This will be a fortress that the demons will never be able to break through."

Looking at the demonic military camp in the distance, Eli murmured softly, that in his previous life, he came here and did nothing, but in this reborn life, he will sweep away everything, and he will not let the demons take another step forward from him!
