Chapter 204 The Devil's Calamity IV
Tristram, deep in town.

Passing through the three outer defensive streets, the team of professionals arrived at the refuge in the center of the town, where the energy of the protective barrier was located.

Inside the building made of gray and yellow stone bricks, many people gathered here. Opposite the professionals, the warriors wrapped in simple armor breathed a sigh of relief. A salute.

"Thank you for your help, we can't repay you."

When this person mentioned the word "no repayment", the faces of the people passed the color of pain one after another.

"It is the mission of our professionals to drive away demons."

Amber shook her head, "Actually, we failed to completely repel the demons, they are very powerful."

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers of Tristram became nervous again: "Then what should we do, have you been guarding here? Do you have any reinforcements?"

The power of the protective barrier will run out one day, and hearing that even the professional heroes in front of them are no match for those monsters, these soldiers feel desperate.

They had already understood the ferocity of monsters and demons in the previous battles. The friendly army was eaten alive, blood was splattered, stumps and gunpowder smoke were everywhere. Even the monk brigade collapsed in front of those monsters. It was a terrible scene like the end of the world.

"We really have no way to fight against those terrible guys, Mr. Hero."

The soldier captain maintained a stiff expression on his face, and his tone was full of anxiety, "You are our only hope... If there is any order, we will do our best to complete it."

"Don't panic, there will always be a way."

The mood of these soldiers is not difficult to understand. Amber waved his hand, his eyes were calm and reassuring, "We don't have to completely defeat the demons and monster groups, we just need to find a way to escape from here."

At the same time, she kept exchanging glances with her companion behind her.

The job of Camp Rogg professionals is to rescue Cady Kane in Tristram, not to save all survivors in Tristram.In fact, the professionals never expected this situation, and out of various considerations, they would give assistance to these ordinary civilians and soldiers.

But this must be the premise of completing the task.

In addition, professionals also need to gain the trust of these ordinary people, which will make their actions more convenient, and the success rate of protecting Cady Kane will also be greatly increased.

After appeasing these people, Zhu Lan and several professionals came over.

"Well, is there any news about Cady Kane?"

Amber looked at them with a solemn face.

"The name Cady Kane is not well-known. I guess the old man changed his name to avoid some trouble."

Zhu Lan shook her head lightly, with a dignified expression, "I have had contact with the leaders of Tristram... some very ordinary nobles, pedantic and greedy for life, they suggested that we protect them from Tristram , in exchange for offering us what we want, but in reality, they have nothing.”

"The brigade of monks in Tristram has always been squeezed out by these nobles... Although it is only a part, it is precisely because of this that Tristram was attacked so quickly."

Amber frowned when she heard this, "Are all the nobles in Tristram like this? Then they should have perished long ago..."

Zhu Lan paused, and then explained: "Many nobles also died in the previous battle... Tristram's arrangement system is different from ours, and a small part of the soldiers are elites who learn swordsmanship Bloodlines, these are the pillars of Tristram."

"However, it is a pity that there were not many casualties in this disastrous raid."

After hearing this, Amber's eyes flickered.

"Let's sort out our current thinking."

First of all, we need to find the whereabouts of Cady Kane. Although it is certain that the old man is hiding in the town, he cannot be found for a while.

There are so many buildings in Tristram, and nearly 30% of the outskirts of towns were isolated by the attack of demons.The collapse of the defense system such as soldiers and monks, as well as the selfishness of the nobles, prevented the remaining 70% of the survivors from gathering in the first place.

There are many reasons for this, like commoners don't trust nobles, or they try to escape on their own.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to find the whereabouts of Cady Kane, and the demons are still watching outside. The professional team cannot put all their strength on finding people.

Amber's idea is to appease the high-level and nobles, get information from them, and observe the movements of the demons at the same time.

She then focused on other messages, and with her fast and efficient reading ability, she got a lot of useful information.

The composition of Tristram is very interesting. The beliefs of people here are similar to those of monks. They pursue the way of natural balance, and stick to the sacredness of their hearts and firm will.This also determines that more than half of the people are from Kanduras, and only native-born people can understand this value.

But Tristram, as one of the important towns where the monastery originated, is deeply valued by the royal family of Khanduras. In the eyes of those who hold the royal power, it is a perfect cornerstone to gather the forces for the development of faith.Therefore, many interest chains have been built with Tristram as the center.The trade exchanges between some neighboring countries are a good example. Taxes here are low, information is rich, and it is located in the key area of ​​​​Kanduras, where traveling merchants and adventurers often come and go.

It's even the starting point of the "Cathedral Treasure" legend, which has attracted all sorts of people.

Even the Gaoxue people from the remote polar region came all the way here, with the blood of barbarians on their bodies.

The "Devil's Seal", "Angel's Disaster", and other interesting events that only appear in ancient books all revolve around Tristram.

There are even more legends that the guardians of the Horadrim finally disappeared here, in order to guard the legendary demons from escaping the seal of the cathedral, and to prevent the world from falling into disaster again.

But as time goes by, many people ignore these.

Ordinary people have to consider many things, daily price changes, business contacts, which commodities are worth investing in, the latest tax news and so on.

The warm sunshine day after day, if not for the tide-like army of demons, trampling everything into fire and ashes, Tristram will usher in the expansion once every 50 years, successfully competing with Candulas Second The Great Commercial Road was launched, completely getting rid of the inherent shadow from the ancient monastery, and developing towards a brand-new developed city.

Is this prosperity ruined by slack, or by fate?

Perhaps it is precisely because of the geographical location and various superior conditions that the shadow of the devil will be the first to shroud here.
