"Theodore, how much have you checked in the area you are responsible for?"

While avoiding the pursuit of the dwarf soldiers, Finn asked Theodore beside him.

“Almost half of it has been checked!”

Theodore gave a vague number.

"That's similar to me, but it looks like we have to check the rest of the area today. Fortunately, we have already checked most of the area, and the plan is to check the rest of the area tonight."

A disc appeared in Finn's hand and he stared at the spinning pointer.

When Annuo saw this, he immediately thought of a disc with a pointer in Theodore's storage ring.

He quickly checked the seized storage ring, and then took out a broken disc from it.

"Bad?"

Annuo looked at the disc that had obviously lost its function and put it back into the storage ring.

…

"Check as many areas as you can before you get caught up."

When they came to a fork in the road, Finn pointed to the right and said, "I'll go right, and you go left.

After so many days of searching, almost everything that needed to be checked has been checked.

The only remaining area is the area around the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion.

If the goal is really there, it will be a big challenge for others.

So, Theodore, be prepared.

Once caught up by the enemy, run as far as possible to attract the attention of the guards in the city and cover others approaching the city lord's mansion area."

"In other words, you have already checked the periphery, and now the demons in the city are concentrated in the main city area near the City Lord's Mansion!"

Mandel landed in front of Finn from the air and muttered to himself.

"Oh no, they're catching up!"

Seeing this, Finn shouted to Theodore beside him without even turning his head: "Run separately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Finn dived below the ground.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Mandel smashed the ground with his weapon.

boom!

The bluestone floor not far away suddenly exploded, and a black shadow was knocked into the air and fell to the ground.

Finn stood up, holding his chest, turned his back to Mandel, and staggered away.

"Oh, do you still have the energy to run away?"

Mandel swung the hammer in his hand and threw it out.

The war hammer rushed towards Finn like a stream of light.

Bang!

Finn's head exploded instantly after being hit by the hammer, and the headless body was blown away for a distance by the inertia of the hammer.

“What a pity!”

Anno appeared next to the summoned creature Theodore, and sighed as he looked at the headless corpse.

Anno originally wanted to gain experience, but Finn was killed by Mandel in just two moves.

"Anno, your plan is good."

Mandel used his magic to pull the warhammer back and said to Anno, "I'm going to tell the city lord that the demons will soon gather in the city lord's mansion. I'll leave first."

After saying this, Mandel took off into the air.

The reason why Finn spoke so much just now was entirely because Theodore was by his side.

A lot of information can be analyzed from Finn's words.

The demons have been sneaking in for some time and are searching for something.

However, they didn't know where the things were, so they could only check from the outside little by little.

Now the demons have checked most of the areas of Sagunto, and what remains is the core area where Lord Owen and other high-level dwarves live.

If nothing unexpected happens, these demons will venture into the core area tonight to search for targets.

Although it is very dangerous, it is also the demon clan’s last chance.

Watching Mandel leave, Annuo called back Theodore, went to Finn's body and picked up his storage ring.

The pointer disc that Finn was using just now was now broken.

"Did Finn destroy it before he died, or is this item bound to the life of the user?"

A broken pointer disc does not do anything.

An Nuo searched around the corpse for a while before he found the magic horn stuck in the bluestone slab.

This magic horn used to grow on Finn's forehead.

Even though the head was smashed by a hammer, the devil's horn did not break.

After sacrificing the magic horn and several other necessary parts, Finn appeared beside Anno.

"Now that I know that the demons will rush to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion, my mission is accomplished."

After all, it was Annuo who discovered the information, and with Mandel's testimony, even if Annuo did not participate in the battle next, the reward he would get in the end would not be less.

Riding on Sasir, Annuo prepared to go to the city lord's mansion to see if he could get some heads and souls.

However, after taking just two steps, Annuo suddenly asked Sasir to stop.

With a heavy face, he took out the map of Sagunto from the storage ring.

“Sagunto as a whole can be seen as a rectangle that is longer from north to south than from east to west. If we connect the four corners of Sagunto and divide the entire city into four isosceles triangles, then the City Lord’s Mansion is in the western area.

Finn's location is in the southern area and is slightly east.

The location where Theodore appeared before was in the eastern area.

If their target was really near the City Lord's Mansion, why would the two of them deviate so far?"

Could it be that the information Finn provided was wrong?

Telling wrong information to his companion Theodore means that Finn had already seen through Theodore.

But how did Finn figure it out?

An Nuo fell into doubt.

On the other side, Owen in the City Lord's Mansion heard Mandel's report and frowned at the map and asked, "Have you discovered other demons?"

The guard beside him bowed and replied: "Apart from General Mandel's achievements, no other demons have been discovered so far."

Owen nodded.

Sagunto is so large that it is extremely difficult to search out the enemy in the dark.

It was just the other party's bad luck that Finn was discovered so quickly.

"Tell the search team to keep some of them to guard the city gates, and the rest to temporarily abandon the search outside and search the central area of ​​the city first."

"City Lord, shouldn't we search the area near the City Lord's Mansion first?" Mandel was a little puzzled.

Strictly speaking, the City Lord's Palace is only located on the western edge of the central area of ​​Sagunto.

The search of the central area does not match the intelligence we received.

“Mandel, the information you obtained is very important. At least it has ruled out the outer areas.

But I'm worried that this intelligence is deliberately misleading by the enemy to focus our attention on the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.

The two demons that have been discovered are both in the central area, not in the area near the City Lord's Mansion!"

“Misleading!”

Mandel looked incredulous.

When Anno summoned the dead Feather Demon, Mandel thought that he had been resurrected.

How could such a perfect disguise be seen through?

And Finn didn't seem to doubt Theodore's authenticity.

"In any case, it's definitely a good idea to be prepared for both scenarios."

Owen said to Mandel, "Go and inform Temple that the security near the City Lord's Mansion will be handed over to the two of you. Also, notify the other generals to lead their troops to focus on searching the central area."

"Yes, sir!"

Mandel immediately left the city lord's mansion and conveyed Owen's orders.

Owen looked out the window.

Suddenly, a series of white lights flashed in the dark night sky.

The location where the white light bloomed was very far away from Sagunto.

From the high-level perspective of Owen and Jonai flying in the sky, it looked like a streak of lightning in the distance.

Owen looked into the darkness and whispered, "It has to be today!"
