"I really don't understand the behavior of these demons."
Standing on high ground and gazing into the distance, one sees sparse population and desolate wasteland everywhere.
The experiences of the past month kept replaying in Wu Yu's mind, and as he paused here, he was filled with many emotions.
After leaving the Endless Forest, Wu Yu ventured deep into the heart of the land and returned to the human realm.
The widespread suffering and devastation was a common phenomenon, but behind this hell on earth, Wu Yu felt a sense of unease.
The demons employed the so-called "Three Alls Policy" in the human world: burn all, kill all, loot all. They were like emotionless killing machines, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.
If it were a group of barbarians, it would be understandable for them to do this, but demons are intelligent. Even if they are tyrannical by nature, the intelligence of high-ranking demons is in no way inferior to that of humans. Wu Yu did not understand why they only fought against humans.
Even though Wu Yu wasn't a military professional before, he still knew that warfare required tactics. Given human nature, if the demon race were willing to take in traitors, there would be plenty of people willing to betray them.
But the demons resolutely chose to say no; they were determined to fight humanity to the bitter end, even at a terrible cost to themselves.
Therefore, Wu Yu only heard about the heroic history of the War of Resistance written by some heroic figures along the way, and there was not a single guy who was cursed as a traitor by the people.
Not everyone has such high moral character, but unfortunately, they don't have the connections.
Moreover, this war is far too evenly matched. The war has lasted for a full ten years, with countless people losing their lives every day, but there is absolutely no sign that the war will end.
The demon army is still slowly advancing, and the outer regions of the entire continent have been devoured by them. Many small countries on the continent have already declared their demise.
Currently, only two major empires among humanity can still hold onto large tracts of territory. Some weaker races have begun to guard their capitals and await rescue.
But the people still held onto hope, because humanity's top fighting force had remained undamaged over the past decade, and the same was true for the demon race.
For a full decade, there was never any news of an eighth-tier epic falling. No matter how fierce the battle, both sides tacitly adhered to the principle of stopping short of defeat and never committed eighth-tier combat power to the battle.
These top forces are constantly converging, gathering in the imperial city of the Ultra Empire under the call of Empress Philliss, waiting for an opportunity to turn the tide.
They are like pillars of strength; as long as these supreme warriors do not fall, people will not feel hopeless.
So why don't you just gather all the eighth-tier experts from each race together for a massive brawl? The fact that the people below are fighting to the death every day is completely meaningless!
Wu Yu seemed to see an invisible hand quietly manipulating this war, not to determine a winner, but simply to reap the lives of both the human and demon races.
As one of the few who knew the power of the gods, Wu Yu was well aware that the conflict between ordinary people had no impact on the final outcome.
Humans cannot defy God, and in a world where such great power belongs to oneself, such a ridiculous thing as war should not happen.
The end of the world definitely does not refer to the demon invasion. This is Wu Yu's judgment after truly seeing the full picture of the war.
Philliss once said that their [Outer God Alliance] was one of the root causes of the apocalypse, so let's boldly assume that the [Apocalypse Society] and the [Guardians], which are on par with it, are also among the root causes.
Add a demon to the mix, and things get interesting. If all the higher-ups in this world are the masterminds behind the destruction, then there's no point in resisting; everyone can just lie back and wait to die.
The only question is what their conflict lies in. Aside from going to Phillis, Wu Yu has only one other option left.
If this trip yields no results, then he will go to Phillis again; if he encounters difficulties, he will seek help from others. Wu Yu is not opposed to this.
Ten years have passed, and Phillis has indeed done what she said she would do, becoming the leader of the Anti-Demon Alliance. In name, everyone in the human world should now obey her orders.
However, there was nothing about Violet that Wu Yu was most concerned about. Ever since she ambushed him, she seemed to have disappeared from the world and had not left her mark on the history of the past ten years.
"At least for now, my luck is pretty good," Wu Yu muttered to himself, before heading towards the remaining Green Town.
Green Town is located in a remote area of the Ultra Empire, which is an area that is about to fall. However, for such unimportant places, the demons usually only send small teams to clean up, and the main army will not deliberately detour.
Green Town is where Violet was born, and Wu Yu believes that there must be traces of her past here. Fortunately, all of this has not been destroyed by the war.
"Stop, come over and register. Where are you from, and what are you doing here?" Wu Yu and Joyce were stopped by a group of fully armed guards as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the town.
Wu Yu had recently gotten used to this kind of thing. With the demon invasion, everyone was on edge, and the level of martial law in various places was more than ten times stricter than before. Wu Yu found it quite troublesome, but he still chose to force his way through.
"My name is Wu Yu, and this is Joyce. Because our hometown has been occupied by the demons, we have come here to seek refuge with Violet Russell, the head of the Russell family." This was the explanation Wu Yu had prepared in advance, which would help him understand the current situation of the Russell family from the very beginning.
"The Russell family? When did this family ever come from around here?" a guard asked, puzzled, as if he had never heard of the name before.
