Chapter 297 (2/2)

That said, even though they hadthis trip, the harvest of information was just as bountiful

The Devils were no longer those ers of hell - instead, they also had cities and towns, an organized structure, and thus can be classified as a higher evolved civilization, just like humans were

Furthermore, the other side's air force wasn't powerful at all, at least this was the case for the group of Devils behind the snow-capped h there had been hundreds of Devils which had coround, in the end, there were only tho had pursued the mounts This indicated that they could safely assu them - whether it was the mounts or the riders that was rare, was still unknown But to suood news for Border Town At least he didn't have to worry about a group of Devils bypassing the Southern hills and ht for the hinterlands of the Western Territory to burn, kill and loot from them

Also, the news that the Devils' possessed ic was an important discovery

According to Nightingale’s report, even though the a after theh to fory state However, their way of arousing ic seemed to be entirely different from the witches They didn't perform it by themselves, but instead used a certain kind ofstones to release their force Therefore, it wasn't like the witches' ability which could undergo constant changes, but more like a standard weapon which could be mass-produced

Of course, this was merely his own speculation Unfortunately, both of those Devil's bodies had fallen into the sea,it impossible for Roland to verify it further

The last point was their buildings

Those small and slender black stone spires were not the Devil’s dwelling places Furthere, since it didn't show any traces of corrosion from the red mist While the inside of some of the stone toas empty, others were filled with a red liquid, which let thee tanks

Could it be that the red aseous state of that liquid?

And could the reason why the Devil's aren't further spread over the wilderness or even further expanded toward the Four Kingdoas?

In any case, after coathered information, I can conclude that for now, they won't be a threat to the security of Border Town

But Roland also knew that since they had already driven huo, there ain Which he would need to make preparation for

…

Due to his severe blood loss, when night fell, Roland decided to leave the unfinished government task for another day and left for bed quite early

As he was sitting on the bedside looking through a history book and preparing to blow the candle out to sleep, a knock cah the room

After a short hesitation, he still cli before him

This ti a thick book in her hands like she had been in the past - neither “Intermediate Physics” or the “Theoretical Foundation of Natural Science”, instead she'd come empty handed and wore only a white robe She stepped into the roo shoes, so whenever her delicate foot kissed the floor, there wasn't any trace of sound to be heard

Stepping aside, Roland sed a mouthful of saliva

After stepping through the door, Anna turned around, closed it, and shut the bolt Then she took Roland’s hand and went to the bed

He could see that she had recently washed her hair, and within the candlelight her let down hair also had a golden luster to it Being so close, an intoxicating fragrance filled his nose - this enchanting fragrance wasn't originating from perfumed rose soap but came from herself

Her long eyelashes trehtly, her cheeks were flushed, and her blue eyes were as clear as lih she appeared to be somewhat nervous, there wasn't any trace of hesitation in her Instead, her eyes, looking straight at Roland, were filled with resolution

Even soreat battle, at this

“Cough, this…”

“I do not want to wait any longer,” Anna whispered, “Especially after e'd experienced” She paused, “I don't want to regret anything”
