Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"Such an important matter... should it be handed over to an outsider who doesn't even know who he is?"

Even if the demons had no objection, Aarons himself could not accept such a proposal.

He did not have any outstanding abilities and could not bear the responsibility of getting the demons to leave here.

...No, was he trying to escape?

"To be honest, we are not sure how much you can do. But we really don't have much time, so we can only pin our hopes on you."

"...How much do you know about the outside world now?"

After realizing that he was unconsciously escaping, Aarons sighed softly and asked the question directly.

"We have actually been trying to actively communicate with the outside world over the years. In the past, some lost travelers would stray into this place... But since an army was stationed outside, we have lost the opportunity to understand the outside world."

According to the elders' description, the last time they obtained information from the outside world was fifty years ago... So they didn't even know exactly where their shelter was on the continent.

"Those of us of the third generation basically don't know what happened in the past, and the fourth generation wants to go out and see... But the human army outside only wants to capture us and use us as slaves."

"How many of you can fight here? Do you have simple weapons and equipment?"

"To be honest, only half of our two thousand people are capable of fighting, and we don't use the fighting spirit and magic that you humans use... All we can use are some innate spells."

After a careful understanding, Aarons knew the fighting power of the demons.

The demons cannot use convenient powers such as fighting spirit or magic to protect themselves, but they have bodies that are several times stronger than humans.

They can also use some special dark attribute innate spells similar to magic to attack enemies or protect themselves.

——And the key is that these demons actually have a strength close to level four.

"Although the demons were said to be a warlike race in the past, we have long forgotten how to fight. If we want to fight the human army outside, we will definitely have no chance of winning."

But Aarons doesn't think so.

These demons underestimated their own combat power. Although the human army does have a lot of war equipment and props, its absolute strength is not too strong.

Ordinary soldiers only have the strength of level three. According to the overall size of the army, only positions such as centurions or thousand men will be held by people with the strength of level four.

The number of magicians is even rarer. In the army, the ratio of magicians to the total number of people is about one to twenty. That is to say, in an army of 20,000 people, there are only about one hundred magicians.

So these demons can actually fight against two or three times the number of human soldiers.

"So is there any equipment suitable for combat here?"

"There are not many usable materials here... We can't make combat armor for everyone."

It can't be given to everyone, but it's still possible to make it for a small number of people.

After confirming this information, Aarons immediately came up with a solution.

"Gather all those who are good at fighting, and then equip them with the best equipment that can be made here. I will go outside to scout first, and then come back to make the next plan."

"Well, it's a good idea... What equipment does your Excellency need?"

"I don't have the ability to fight, so I can only ask Yalu to protect me."

The girl sitting on the side had no interest in these topics, but after hearing Aarons' request, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, do you want to go out?"

"If so many people want to move out, they must first grasp the situation outside... I am also a human, and it may be possible to communicate with people outside."

This plan does sound impeccable, but Aarons seems to have overlooked a problem-although he is a human, a human with no fighting ability wandering around with a little girl in such a place will definitely arouse suspicion from outsiders.

But no one realized this.

"Do you have any comments? If not, please solve the equipment problem as soon as possible. Yalu, let's go out and look around now."

...

Actually, Aarons also wanted to use this opportunity to confirm where this shelter is.

Although Yalu can enter and exit here freely, she is essentially a monster and doesn't care about the human world. So even if she goes to investigate, she won't get any useful information.Moreover, Yalu's "fog illusion" is the only way to prevent outsiders from invading after the barrier is broken. Even if someone really finds a gap in the barrier, they cannot pass through the thick fog that will cause severe hallucinations.

"Brother, what are you going to investigate?"

"If possible, I want to find a map... If I can find someone to ask about the situation, maybe I can remember something."

Of course, Aarons wants to get his memory back as soon as possible, but now just trying to think about the past will interrupt his consciousness with a severe headache.

This may be the brain's self-protection method - maybe he was stimulated by something abnormal before, so the brain had to block the memory to prevent more serious damage.

"... Is this the gap in the barrier?"

"I left a part outside, so it's hard to be found."

After passing through the gap in the cliff at the edge of the shelter with Yalu, Aarons walked out of the range of the barrier.

This is a narrow valley full of various trees. Not only can no human footprints be seen nearby, but the terrain is even so rugged that it is difficult to land.

Even if such a gap is discovered, it is difficult for a large number of people to enter and exit.

"This fog... I see."

"This is a part of me."

The light mist always shrouds the surroundings, allowing Aarons to quickly understand a concept that has been mentioned before - the so-called [Fog Phantom Demon Star], which itself may be composed of such fog.

However, since she can condense into a human form from fog, maybe she still has an original posture.

"Since we are out, Yalu, can you confirm where there are people?"

"Probably, in that direction."

For some reason, the human army stationed outside was in chaos - this was the information Yalu had just brought back not long ago.

If he could confirm the other party's identity in the chaos and obtain some information, then he might be able to find a way for the demons to leave smoothly.

Of course, if he could know who he is... it would be even better.
