"My king, I have been checking the resident certificates continuously these days, and I have found many suspicious ones."

Nathan stood in front of the table, took out his pen and drew several circles on the map spread on the table: "After careful investigations from all aspects, we can confirm that there are fifty-two families hostage, and each family has at least two more."

Looking at the city map on the desktop, Dikao crossed his arms in front of his chest: "Is that all?"

"I'm not sure," Kennan next to him shook his head, "In order not to alert the enemy, there is no way to conduct too detailed investigations."

"Forget it, don't wait." Dikao thought for a while, "My Seven Thousand Ghost Knights will arrive tonight, and you will start acting tomorrow!"

"Abide by the order!"

…………

Tonight, Kennan did not rush back to his home, but came to Nathan's house to have dinner and chat.

The glowing stones inlaid on the ceiling sprinkled bright yellow light to fill the room, gentle but not dazzling.

"You said, will tomorrow's action be successful?" Nathan picked up the wine glass, "I always feel... this kind of thing is unheard of!"

"What are you referring to?" Kennan had a smile on his face, asking knowingly, "Will a demon actually value human life?"

"You know I'm not talking about this." Nathan smiled, "My king's approach has long been known in the Castlevania... I'm talking about this matter itself."

"Hahaha..." Kenan laughed a few times, "Indeed, I have never seen this method before. However... it can be imagined that these actions of our king will definitely change the future war situation."

"The pattern of war has changed when different races of the Castlevania coexist, right?" Nathan picked up his glass and took a sip. "At least as far as I know, there has not been a mixed force of multiple races in this world."

"Every race is not good at communicating, and basically one side enslaves or even exterminates the other." Kennan leaned on the back of the chair, "but my king... doesn't seem to want to do this. He seems to want to see a world where flowers bloom."

"He said this." Nathan nodded, "It would be too boring to be born in a colorful world. If there is only one race in this world, it would be too boring."

"Anyway, let's wait and see for tomorrow's action." Kainan picked up the wine glass.

Nathan didn't say anything, and also picked up the wine glass and touched him. The two of them drank it all in one go.

…………

These days, because patrol personnel have been sent and routes have been changed every day, there have been no more massacres in the family, but they will definitely not stop.

In addition, they will definitely be more alert at night, so Dikao decided to do it during the day.

There are people coming and going on a street in the east of the city at this moment.

Two teams of guards in casual clothes suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, but did not make any special moves.

But every time someone came over, he would block him outside, and then send a guard in casual clothes to walk into the street, thinking of him as an ordinary passerby.

This is the case at both ends of the street. After a while, the whole street seemed to be calm, but in fact they had all changed into guards dressed in casual clothes.

They had only one task, that is, no matter what they saw, they would pretend to be ordinary people on the street.

In an ordinary house in the middle of the street, Bass and Rio were sitting on a stool in the living room, eating the food prepared by the hostess.

The male host stood aside without saying a word. The female host put the food in her hand on the table with fear and looked carefully at her daughter sitting between them.

Maybe it's because I've been used to this state these days, my daughter doesn't cry or make a fuss, and sits there very quietly.

A few days ago, the two of them broke into their home at night, took their daughter hostage, and told them to be obedient, otherwise they would have to kill people.

The eight-year-old daughter was held hostage, and the couple could only listen to them.

When someone came to check the resident certificate the day before yesterday, the two of them hid behind the door and put a dagger on their daughter's neck. At that time, as long as they dared to call for help, they would kill their daughter.

These two people have been living in their homes these days, ensuring that one person will wake up when sleeping and one of them will stare at their daughter at any time during the day. As long as the couple acts outrageously, their daughter will be killed.

These two people have asked a lot about the Castlevania these days, but they didn't ask the little girl about it.

So the couple didn't say that their daughter actually needed to go to school.

"How about going there again today to see if there are any new orders." Bass turned his head and said.

"Yeah!" Rio nodded, "It's not a solution to continue like this."

"Shut up, we are for glory!" Bass shouted softly, "No matter what kind of hard work it is worth it!"

"I……"

"Tu tu!" The knock on the door suddenly rang.

Everyone in the room was stunned at the same time. The next moment, Bass had already put the dagger in his hand on the little girl's neck and raised his head to the male owner.

The male owner nodded, turned around and came to the gate and asked, "Who?"

"Check the resident certificate! Open the door!" An arrogant shout came from outside.

"Didn't this... I just checked it the day before yesterday? Why did you check it again?" asked the male owner.

"Are you questioning His Majesty the Demon King? You can open the door if you ask you to open it! Where does so much nonsense come from?! Hurry up!" The voice outside the door was extremely arrogant, "If you don't open it, smash the door!"

"No, no...that...please wait..." The male owner turned his head and looked at Bass.

At the same time, the male owner also found it a bit strange. You should know that the guards in the Castlevania are usually very kind and have never been so quarrels.

"What are you waiting for? I won't open the door and smash it!"

"No, no...that...the insider hasn't been dressed yet! Please wait a moment!"

"It's really troublesome... hurry up!"

The male owner turned his head and looked at Bass in a low voice, and asked softly, "What should I do?"

The hostess next to her also looked anxious, fearing that the two of them would hurt their daughter.

Bass raised his head towards the window. Reo next to him understood it. He quietly got up and came to the window, and then poked a hole in the paper-patterned window and looked over.

Through this small hole, you can see that the street outside is like usual, with pedestrians coming and going shuttled along the street, and no one was deliberately looking at this place.

But at this moment, he couldn't see it, and the bottom of the window and beside it were already full of people.

And there were two soldiers wearing heavy armor standing on each side of the door of the room, one of whom held a heavy sword and the other holding a slender bamboo tube in his hand.

He wouldn't know that because the shadow had exposed the fact that he was right in front of the window. At this moment, in the air more than a hundred meters away from the opposite side of the street, a pair of elves with transparent wings were hovering in the air at this moment, and they opened their bows and arrows to point them at him!

"Open the door!" Bass put the dagger around the girl's neck and warned softly, "Remember, if there is any problem, I will kill your daughter as soon as possible!"

The male owner nodded to show his understanding, took a deep breath and opened the door.

However, the moment I opened the door, I saw that in addition to the two guards outside, there were two guards in heavy armor on both sides of the outside.

At this moment, one of the guards was making a "ban" gesture to him, while the other shouted: "What are you doing? You haven't opened the door for so long! You don't pay attention to His Majesty's orders, are you tired of living, right?"

Before the male owner could speak, the guards' shouts came into the room.

At the same time, another soldier outside the door had thrown the bamboo tube in his hand directly into the house.

Seeing a dark thing thrown in, Bass obviously felt something was wrong.

However, before I could react, I heard a "pop" explosion, and at the same time, my eyes were filled with a strong light.

In an instant, Bass felt a burning pain in his eyes. He screamed and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

While the flash bomb was thrown in, the male owner had already been grabbed by the guards in front of him and pulled aside.

The next moment, the flash bomb exploded and all the guards entered one after another.

At the same time, a "swish" sounded like a "swish" and another small hole appeared in the window.

When the guards entered the door, they saw that Rio, who was leaning against the window, had just flashed his eyes. Before he could raise his hand, he was penetrated through his head and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Bass next to him subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.

"Catch the living!" The guards entering the door shouted, rushed over and pressed Bass under them. The guards next to them divided three people to help.

The other guards walked out of the room with the hostess and the little girl who were also flashing their eyes.

All these movements are very tacitly combined because they have practiced them many times.

At the same time, the "peedies" who had just been on the street came over to help.

The battle ended in less than two seconds.

"Child, my child..."

Seeing his wife, children and being brought out by the guards, the male owner ran over immediately. Seeing that both of them were unconscious with their eyes closed, they hurriedly turned their heads and asked the guards beside them: "What's wrong? What's wrong with them?"

"It's okay, I just fainted by the flash bounce. Just rest and rest." The guard agreed, "We will send them for treatment. If you are worried, you can come with me."

…………

Standing outside the street, Dikao, Nathan and Kennan grinned when they heard the guards' report.

"Congratulations to my king, the first battle was successful." Nathan and Kenan said on one knee.

"Don't be careless, this is just the first one." Dikao smiled, "The rest will be divided into ten teams and will be solved all today!"

"As for order!" the two agreed.

"I have agreed to Enjieli that if there are injured hostages this time, she will help take care of them." Dikao said, "If the hostage is injured, it will be fine to send them to her."

"Would that adult be willing to treat ordinary people?" Nathan was a little curious.
