"Is the village in front of Youyou the Iron Stone Village?"

Looking at a dilapidated village not far ahead, Kane asked Yoyo at his feet.

"Yes, Master." Yoyo threw it on the map in mid-air, and Kane's light spot had already coincided with the target's light spot.

After resting in the fortress for a night, Kane and the others rushed to the second mission early in the morning to investigate the demon squad raging inside the second line of defense.

They got the information about the villages destroyed by the demons and the corresponding map marks, and then followed Yuyou to the first destroyed village.

After entering the village, everyone dispersed and began to look for possible information and some traces.

This village had been destroyed for nearly two weeks, and the time of destruction coincided with the demons' massive attack on the first line of defense.

According to the information obtained, it seems that this village was once just an ordinary gathering place for humans. There was nothing strange about it and it had no special products.

However, the village is not very close to the second line of defense. It is a relatively internal position between the second line of defense and the first line of defense.

These messages are everywhere indicating that this village was chosen by the devil just because of bad luck.

The entire village had been burned down by demons when they left, with almost no intact houses left, and the most intact ones had been burned black and nearly half of them collapsed.

Walking on the road in the village, you can still see slightly dried blood stains in the soil under your feet and in some places.

The corpses of the entire village had been buried by the first patrol team that discovered them, but only less than half of the bones were found, and the other half seemed to have been taken away by demons.

Not only this village, but also another village that was burned down.

And according to the latest news received by Kane and the others, they discovered that a village had suffered the same accident two days ago.

Now the number of destroyed villages has reached three.

The number of dead and missing civilians is close to 10,000.

Now within the entire second line of defense, all gathering places are in panic.

It's not that the Legion of Volcano Fortress didn't send soldiers to track these demons, it's that they didn't even see the shadow of the demons. They only knew that the demons were raging and there were some traces of demons' actions.

And since the front line was engaged in a fierce battle with demons, more soldiers could not be sent to pursue, intercept, and conduct blanket searches.

Now that the first line of defense has been completely breached, there are not so many soldiers left to carry out these things.

In the end, such tasks can only be handed over to mercenaries who come to participate in the jihad.

After searching the entire village, everyone gathered together and shook their heads in silence.

No one found even a little bit of useful information.

Forget it, let's go to the other two destroyed villages first to see if we can find some useful information. After all, it's been a long time since the first destroyed village.

When they came to the second village, the situation was still the same, without any useful information.

In the end, we could only quickly arrive at the third village. This village was destroyed just two days ago, and some of the bones had not even had time to be disposed of.

From a distance, I saw a group of soldiers patrolling around the village.

When the soldiers saw Kane, they immediately picked up their weapons with vigilance and slowly approached.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

This leading soldier seemed to be the leader of the team. He was wearing a helmet and his face could not be seen clearly.

"We are mercenaries sent by Commander Sacrem to investigate the demons raging here."

Kane then took out the commander's military card that Thackerem gave him.

The leading soldier came closer, took Kane's military badge, checked it, and then handed it to Kane.

He beat his chest with his right hand and saluted Kane and the others: "Sir Commander."

Kane nodded, and then he and his teammates got off their horses.

Several soldiers immediately came to take over the horses of the two men and helped hold them.

"What's your name?" Kane asked the leading soldier.

The soldier immediately came over and took off his helmet: "Sir, my name is Qidi, and I am a squad leader of the garrison. May I ask what your orders are?"

Listening to the captain's voice, I thought he was a young man, but who knew that he already looked like a middle-aged man under the helmet.

"Qidi, was it your team that discovered that this village was destroyed?"

"To answer your words, sir, yes, in the middle of the night two days ago, we were on a routine patrol and saw the fire in this village not far away. When we arrived, there was no one alive here."

After hearing Chidi's words, Kane nodded and then led his team in.

As soon as they entered the village, they could smell a strong smell of decay, which made everyone wrinkle their noses.

Looking at the performance of Kane and the others, Chidi immediately said: "Due to the lack of manpower now, we only cleaned up some relatively complete corpses, and we haven't had time to deal with the completely broken corpses."

"More than half of the people in this village are missing?" Kane observed the situation in the village and asked casually.

"Yes, my lord."

"Well, then you go ahead and do your work first. Let's walk around the village and see if there are any clues."

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can shout my name loudly."

Kane and his teammates spread out again, looking for traces throughout the village.

This time, only some peripheral and central houses of the village were burned down, while some houses in the middle were not burned.

In the village, I carefully looked at the blood stains everywhere, as well as some residual meat residue that had not been cleaned up.

It can be seen that none of these people died outside the village, and they were all scattered everywhere, with no scenes of gathering together.

It didn't take long for Kane and the others to finish checking the situation in the village, and then arrived at the entrance of the village.

Chidi and their team are waiting for Kane and the others here.

"Have you found any clues?"

In response to Chidi's question, Kane shook his head and then asked: "When the news that the devil was raging spread, did these villages arrange some militia for security or patrol?"

"Yes, sir, even if there is no news of demons raging, these villages and towns still have their own militia to patrol and guard, let alone the news that demons are raging locally."
