The Demons' sudden disappearance might seem like a good thing to the ordinary soldiers—it gives them more time to rest, and more time to repair the defensive structures. However, in the eyes of Cyril and the rest, the Demons' actions seemed outright suspicious.
Since the Demons' ambush on the Kalhan Plains, Cyril had been stationed with her family in Qingyuan City for over a month now. During this time, the Demons' offensive had been relentless. They would launch attacks every two to three days, and sometimes for several days in a row without pause. Never before had there been such a long stretch of complete silence.
If the Demons had truly retreated entirely, that would be one thing. But the reality was far from that—Qingyuan City remained tightly surrounded by the Demons, their numbers showing no sign of dwindling.
What did this imply?
It meant that the Demons had not given up on Qingyuan City. They were preparing for an even larger-scale assault!
