The elite squads of warriors took their seats, while the highly agile warriors stood around them.
There is no distinction of rank or social status among the brave; in fact, they are also entitled to sit.
However, due to the training provided by the Hero Alliance, the highly agile heroes all see themselves as serving other heroes, behaving just like believers within the Hero Alliance.
First, the brave warriors responsible for gathering intelligence explained the situation in the city;
"The Hero of Thought is not yet dead, and the city's lord, Viscount Water Demon, doesn't seem to have any intention of harming him."
According to the information reported by the Hero of Thought, those trapped in the water prison can only obtain enough water and food each day to barely sustain life.
“We’ve been to the water dungeon before,” Lana said, raising her hand. “It’s a space that absorbs magic and also imprisons many demons of different ranks.”
I'm thinking, David might be imprisoned in a similar way to those demons, otherwise... he should have died in prison long ago. 5
During this time, the heroes also discussed what kind of demons were imprisoned in that prison.
Humans are punished for their crimes, but crimes committed by humans are nothing to demons.
If killing other demons in the street doesn't get you arrested, is there anything more unforgivable that doesn't warrant death?
As An Yi ate her dry rations, she thought to herself;
"No, they are completely different in nature."
If An Yi is not mistaken, the demons imprisoned below must have committed serious crimes, even the most trivial ones.
The Water Demon Clan is full of lunatics; it's normal for them to randomly capture a demon and lock them up for the smallest thing.
However, the reason for keeping Paric locked up is probably something else entirely...
“The Water Demon Viscount wouldn’t dare kill him,” An Yi said casually, swallowing his dry rations.
A highly agile warrior nearby quickly placed the water in front of him on the table.
An Yi nodded and said thank you, then continued, "I heard from Felia that you were mistaken for a 'dragon'."
Do you know what status the dragon race holds within the demon race?
"This……"
All the heroes were taken aback.
They investigated the dragons among the demons, but only knew that they were powerful legendary creatures. Most of the information about the demons came from storybooks, without any explanation of their status.
Lycorina seemed to recall something: "I remember there were Evil Dragon Kings and Demon Dragon Kings among the King-level demons, right?"
They had previously investigated the overall combat strength of the demon race in [Sword Demon City], and among the king-level demons was the "Dragon King".
And, there's more than one.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time; I was more focused on investigating things related to Pokémon.
"Actually, we had a rough idea that it was related to the dragon race or something, and we also knew that the dragon race might have a very high status among the demon race."
However, since they all mistakenly identified Lana and still dared to attack her, it means they aren't really afraid of dragons, right?
Sene, the heroine of medicine whose hair was made of vines and covered with various medicinal herbs, spoke up from the same squad as Lana.
"I am confident that I can kill you all without letting anyone know."
"You're alive only because something went wrong when we tried to kill you," An Yi asserted.
"Hmm...it seems that's indeed the case." Thunder Hero Michael recalled, "The Water Demon Viscount said something about disguising ourselves and going to other cities so that the dragon wouldn't seek revenge on him!"
An Yi glanced at him: "Now that you know this information, it's not hard to figure out why the Hero of Thought is still alive."
A thoughtful look flashed in the blue-white eyes of the Sky Warrior, and he slowly said, "What you mean is that the other party was wary of the dragon race from the very beginning."
So you tried to kill the Dragon Hero team but failed, and fearing retaliation, you spared the life of the Hero of Thought, hoping to use him as a bargaining chip to save your own life, is that right?
“Actually, we don’t need to come; you could have solved it yourself,” Lycorina said with a smile.
She wasn't eating anything because she had been carried on Milu's back the whole way.
"But why did they suddenly summon a large number of viscounts?"
"Aren't they keeping the hostages for us to rescue, and then preparing for a big battle with us?" Blaze, the Fighting Hero who sat as large as a small mountain in his seat, asked in confusion.
The heroes had already reached a similar conclusion regarding their fear of the dragons, as mentioned earlier.
You can call upon the Lord of Lingdi to come over, not to prepare for battle?
A highly agile warrior in charge of intelligence gathering quickly spoke;
"That's right. So far, eight different demon viscounts have arrived at [Water Demon City]."
Among them, Viscount Black Elephant left after only a few days, but now there are still seven demon viscounts remaining in the city, including Viscount Water Demon!
In order of arrival, they are: Viscount Azure Eagle of Azure Eagle City, Viscount Mad Tiger of Mad Tiger City, Viscount Demon Ape of Demon Ape City, Viscount Fallen Star of Fallen Star City, Viscount Bloodslash of Bloodslash City, Viscount Black Gold of Black Gold City, and Viscount Cursed Wood of Cursed Wood City.
Aside from a few viscounts whose abilities can be roughly discerned, such as Viscount Fallen Star of Fallen Star City, Viscount Bloodslash of Bloodslash City, and Viscount Black Gold of Black Gold City, their abilities have not yet been guessed.
We've investigated the cities they govern, and the Fallen Star Viscount is a demon race known as the "Star Demon."
Viscount Bloodslash is the [Blood Demon], and Viscount Black Gold is the [Black Gold Demon].
Based on this information alone, it's impossible to determine whether they are demons who primarily cultivate physical strength or magical power.
The demon race is a vast race, and even demons of the same kind may not follow the same cultivation path.
Even among the "Sword Demons," some specialize in physical cultivation while others wield demonic swords.
Judging their abilities solely by their names is not a reliable indicator.
“I always feel that the name Viscount Fallen Star is so unlucky…” Star Warrior Shino said with a wry smile while leaning on the table next to him.
I always felt that if I were to fight the other side, I would truly "fall to Earth." (Three] ||*≤∪]
"They probably just think that since the dragons are coming, they might as well bring a few more along to take them down with them," An Yi said.
All the heroes: "?"
Whether it was the warriors from the four elite squads or the highly agile warriors, they were all stunned at this moment.
what?
Unlike the six who had just come from the Dark Rainforest, the heroes had been active here for quite some time and had made many deductions during that time.
They had imagined both possible and impossible scenarios, but...
This was the first time they had ever heard of An Yi's statement!
Using other viscounts as scapegoats?!
"No, what good would that do him?" Lion Warrior Xingu asked directly.
“No,” An Yi replied immediately.
"Hahaha—" Layton laughed, "Demons are all strange creatures. Can't they do anything without some benefit?"
The various events he encountered along the way gave him a profound understanding of the abstract nature of the demon race; whatever the demons did seemed quite normal.
The others all used tactics that accelerated leveling up and didn't interact much with the demons. Instead, they were more likely to try to understand the demons' minds using human logic.
"This..." Lana was also a little confused. "Then, if it really is what the Sword Hero said, what should we do?"

With the help of special skills and attributes, it is not impossible to fight against demon viscounts who are not on their home turf.
In fact, most of the heroes present were skeptical of An Yi's statement.
Firstly, they were unaware of the status of the Dragon Clan within the Demon Clan, nor their strength.
Then, the saying "when you die, you find someone to take you down with you" also has a bit of a nonsensical feel to it.
For the brave warriors, gathering allies and pooling their strength to confront the "dragon" seemed to be the right answer.
But in An Yi's opinion...
Let alone finding seven or eight viscounts, even if the entire city of viscounts were full of viscounts, they would be nothing but a fart in front of the demon dragon clan!
Moreover, as a demon, the Water Demon Viscount should understand this principle even better.
As for attacking the Dragon Warriors Squad, it wasn't because they weren't afraid of the Demon Dragon Clan.
Fear is fear, greed is greed.
The benefits of beheading a young dragon were too tempting to resist. The other side thought they had made thorough preparations, so why wouldn't they take action?
I never expected the hero to have a special ability; he flew away in a flash.
He used magic to monitor the hero every day, but I didn't even know he had this trick up his sleeve!
"I know, I know!" Lycorina excitedly raised her hand. "Of course, we'll use our dragon identity to intimidate them and then make them hand over the person!"
That way, no one can get hurt while rescuing the Hero of Thought!
An Yi nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too."
The heroes of the Secret Operations Department were all taken aback.
wonderful!
As expected of Her Highness the Holy Maiden!
"What if the bluff doesn't work?"
We only have this one 'dragon'.
If you're going to bluff, let the stronger 'dragon' do it!
Blazer frowned.
Chapter 257 Let's fight with our lives! (4B)
There is more than one king-level demonic dragon.
Moreover, each and every one of them was a powerful being, surpassing even the Demon King's seventy-two servants.
The term "Dragon Clan" is easy to understand; it refers to the dragon clan within the demon race.
Among the demons, each dragon possesses strength second only to the Demon King's seventy-two royal servants.
Judging by the strength of the entire race, it is no exaggeration to say that they are one of the strongest races among all demons.
Let alone an adult individual, even a sub-adult individual could easily destroy a small viscount city.
