Because of the large number of knightly orders, mages, and sorcerers led by Levi and Gwen respectively, a well-balanced team was formed in all aspects.
Knights are required to uphold high virtues, and those who can become knights possess a strong sense of justice.
This clashes with the unbridled desires of the demons.
Therefore, knights are an important force that is difficult to be corrupted by demons.
Therefore, the addition of the Knights significantly enhanced Revi's power, as if adding wings to a tiger.
In general, due to the shortage of manpower, even Erica had to be personally dragged to the battlefield by Duke Reeves.
They started from the central district and steadily advanced outwards.
Gradually occupy safe territory, search for survivors, and establish temporary outposts.
Such actions have been very effective.
As for those humans who are possessed by demons or controlled by their emotions,
Since no one knows whether they will be able to recover in the future.
Therefore, in order to prioritize the safety of those who have not yet been infected,
If these puppets obstruct the team's progress, they can only be killed on the spot.
In less than a week, Levi and his team cleared the safe zone in the East District.
There was no way around it; the capital city was simply too vast, and with its dense population, you'd encounter humans influenced by demons almost everywhere you went.
Once survivors are found, they must clear all obstacles and prioritize rescuing them.
After so many days, it's impossible that there were no casualties in the team; in fact, quite a few were injured.
Once the team discovers survivors, the rescue operation alone could result in casualties among the personnel.
For example, saving three survivors might require sacrificing a knight.
Even without sacrifice, injuries or serious injuries to team members will weaken their strength and reduce their efficiency.
Without external support, they have no way to replenish their forces once casualties occur.
Even if saving three survivors only requires exchanging one knight, it's still not worth it.
After all, no amount of survivors can compare to a valuable fighting force.
But neither Gwen nor Reeves could stand by and watch someone die.
Liberating the entire capital city is a task that seems simple, but is actually very difficult to carry out.
At this moment, Rivi was in a safe zone in the East District, his brow furrowed.
On the paper in front of him was a line of large black characters.
'Support is needed'.
Only Levi knew the importance of those four words.
He pondered for a moment, then called directly to the door to summon a knight.
As soon as the knight stepped across the threshold, Reeves asked eagerly:
"Any news from Angus?"
A week earlier, he had already sent a request for help to Angus, who was far away in northern Xinjiang.
After observing for some time, Levi witnessed firsthand the performance of these royal knights.
They were never afraid of demons, nor were they afraid of death.
They will not be swayed by the words of demons, and are righteous, kind, and reliable.
Therefore, Levi thought of the many knights in the northern frontier.
He dispatched a flock of carrier pigeons overnight to deliver a message to northern Xinjiang.
Several days have passed, and Reeves still hasn't received any reply, which makes him uneasy.
Given the speed of communication, if Angus had already seen the message, he should have replied long ago.
As expected, the knight shook his head, indicating that he had not received any reply.
Reeve's expression immediately darkened, and his brows furrowed.
Knights will never be swayed by the words of demons, therefore the northern frontier should be safe.
But at this critical juncture, Angus still hasn't replied to any messages.
"Angus, what exactly do you want?"
Levi muttered to himself, his tone heavy.
Just as he finished speaking,
Another knight rushed into the room and urgently reported to Reeves.
"Your Grace! We've brought back a mute survivor, but he says he wants to see you!"
Reeve: ?
He frowned, looking quite puzzled.
"A mute? He wants to see me?"
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
The knight realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself.
“He is indeed mute, but that’s what he said… oh no, that’s right, that’s right…”
The knight racked his brains, recalling all the knowledge he had acquired in his life, hoping to string together useful words into a coherent sentence.
A few seconds later, he finally seemed to realize something, and the words slipped out:
"Oh right! Even though he can't speak, I can understand what he means!"
Reeve: ?
Seeing how exaggerated yet serious the knight's words were, Levi suddenly became interested in the survivor.
"Come on, take me to see it."
Along the way, Reeves asked the knight again:
"Where did you find this survivor?"
Upon hearing Reeves' words, the Cavaliers quickly responded:
"Your Grace, while we were cleaning up the East District today, we were also searching for any survivors we might have missed, and we found that person fighting against a group of demons."
These humans, thoroughly corrupted by demonic desires, are no longer truly human, and thus they have acquired a new name.
Devilman.
"But not long after, because there were so many demons, he was surrounded and killed before we could prepare to rescue him."
Upon hearing this, Levi was suddenly stunned.
What does this mean?
If someone is dead, can they be brought back to life?
What the knight said next shocked Reeves immensely.
Even the knight couldn't help but show fear and astonishment as he spoke, his words becoming hesitant and stammering.
