These Familiars Are Strange

With the hypnotized Abyss Demons leading the way, we quickly found the Abyss Demon camp.

It was just that after finding it, it seemed that the situation was much worse than we thought.

"There's so many of them…" That was the only thing that we could say when we saw the camp.

From what the Abyss Demons said, we thought that it would just be a small scale camp. Only that wasn't the case as there were several hundred Abyss Demons that were in this camp.

Just with us alone, it seemed like it would be very hard to take down this camp.

Even if I hypnotized more of the Abyss Demons, there was only so much that could be done.

At the same time, there were these strong mana fluctuations that were coming from inside of the camp.

Even without seeing anything, it was easy to tell that there were some powerful Abyss Demons that were hiding in the camp. These would be the targets that I had come looking for this time.

But when they were surrounded by Abyss Demons like this, it really was hard to do anything to them.

At the same time, it wasn't just a single mana fluctuation that was coming from the camp, but several of them. That meant that there wasn't just a single one of these high ranked Abyss Demons, but there were several of them that were here.

The other problem was that there were many hostages that were being held in the camp.

These hostages were the humans that had been captured by the Abyss Demons.

They were all currently being held in a cage that was in the center of the camp, which meant that they were in plain sight of everyone in the camp. That also meant that they would be able to see everything that happened in the camp.

Naturally this made it much harder for me to do anything to this camp.

Some of the things that I did were things that couldn't be seen by others.

If they were to see me working with the Abyss Demons…

Deeply knitting my brows while looking at the Abyss Demon camp, I eventually said, "Split up and see what you can find out about this place. We'll need information if we want to do anything."

Iris and Wang Rong nodded in agreement before heading off in different directions.

Both of them had a few Abyss Demons accompanying them.

That was the cover that we used.

If there were any Abyss Demons wandering around, we would pretend to be captives captured by these Abyss Demons. The Abyss Demons in the camp wouldn't question this since we could already see that there were other humans being dragged in.

I remained in the same spot, sending the skeletal rats into the camp.

It was just that the more that I found out about the camp with the skeletal rats, the more that I realized that this camp really would be hard to take down. The camp itself wasn't even poorly constructed like I thought it would be.

There was a reason that the Abyss Demons had been able to continue this war with the humans for this long.

It wasn't just because of the strength that they possessed, but also the intelligence that they had.

The camp itself was very well designed and didn't have a single blind spot to sneak up on. Even if I were to send the Abyss Demons in, they wouldn't actually be able to do anything since there were divisions in the camp.

If they caused trouble in one part of the camp, that part of the camp would be cut off from the main camp. While it was the same as abandoning the camp, it was very effective since it would be like cutting off a tail to escape.

As long as they gave up a single part of the camp, it would be enough to save the rest of the camp.

The Abyss Demons didn't have any sympathy for the rest of their companions.

They really were ruthless enough to sacrifice lives without a trace of hesitation.

Only that just made it harder to take down this camp.

When Iris and Wang Rong came back, the look on their faces showed that they didn't have any luck. It was clear that they hadn't found anything that could actually help us in taking care of these Abyss Demons.

I wasn't surprised to see this since I had already expected this response from them.

If I couldn't find anything with the skeletal rats, it was unlikely that they would be able to find anything just by searching the area around the camp.

Since all three of us didn't have any ideas of how to deal with this camp, it really seemed like we would have no choice but to give up on this camp.

However, before we came to that decision…

"This is a command from command central for all those that can receive it."

All three of us were taken aback to hear this voice.

When we looked down, we saw that the badges that were on our chests were glowing.

It was from these badges that this voice came from.

After thinking about it, we remembered something that Sun Xiang had told us when we received these badges.

This was one of the special functions of the badges.

In times of emergency, it would allow central command to connect to those that had these badges inside of the Abyss. It was a special failsafe just in case something important happened.

To put this kind of function on the badges took a big price and it cost a lot to actually use this function.

So this was not the kind of thing that was used unless it was important.

"A fourth grade security risk has been detected and a subjugation team has been sent. All those that are in the area are required to provide support for the subjugation team."
