[On the fourteenth day, you unknowingly arrived at the territory of the Cat-Eared tribe. The Cat-Eared tribe received you warmly, which surprised you. Then you understood the root of everything. It turned out that the Cat-Eared tribe was a neutral race in the Forest. They were known for their kindness and friendliness, and they had a very friendly relationship with every race here. Moreover, they won the friendship and trust of all races with their kindness and honesty.]
[The Cat-Eared patriarch received you warmly and invited you to share lunch. After lunch, you had a long conversation. As you talked, you couldn't help but raise your doubts with the Cat-Eared patriarch. Why didn't they cooperate with you when you had such a perfect plan and it would be beneficial for everyone involved?]
[After hearing your doubts, the leader laughed and explained to you that although your plan was perfect and easily tempting, they did not have the ability to carry it out with you.]
[From what was explained, you finally got a deeper understanding of the current situation faced by these races in the Demonic Forest. It turns out that all the tribes in the south of the Forest, except for the Goblins, are facing serious internal and external problems.]
[The so-called internal troubles stems from the pressure from the Goblins. They rely on their strength to invade the territory of other races.]
[And the external threat comes from Humans! It turns out that the Demonic Forest is adjacent to the Holy Empire. The border city of the Holy Empire and the Demonic Forest is Kaidi City. There are Humans who have recently established a forest slave-hunter group and are roaming the Demonic Forest to hunt demonic creatures.]
[Due to these measures, the demon races are overwhelmed. Many of their clansmen have been captured by the slave hunters, and their population has decreased drastically. They don't even dare to walk out of their home base now, for fear that they will be captured by the hunters if they are alone.]
[And even if they stayed in their territory, their own borders are at risk. The Goblins took advantage of their strength and resources and weren't afraid of the hunters. They attacked aggressively and conquered the territories of many other races.]
[Under the vicious cycle, these races are already worried. Even their own survival is a problem, so how can they consider longer-term problems? They are really helpless now! They hope that they can become stronger so that they won't be bullied by Goblins and Humans. At the same time, they are afraid that after leaving their territory, they will be defeated by these two domineering races!]
[After understanding the existing problems, you finally let it go. It turns out that it's not that the Angel's Voice has lost its effect, but that those races are facing a huge crisis. No matter how trustworthy you may sound, it can't compare to the survival of their kind! Therefore, it's reasonable that the Angel's Voice doesn't work on them.]
[As for the Forest, the two huge sources of worry in the South. The Goblins are the main target you plan to target at the moment! The main purpose of you looking to join forces with these races is to deal with the Goblins to completely eliminate or subdue them!]
[As for the Holy Empire, you don't know much about them. What kind of strengths do they have? They actually dare to openly resist the Demonic Forest. You have to know that although some races in the Demonic Forest are not strong, there are still some very powerful existences in the lake territory and the north of the Forest!]
[Aren't they afraid of the Demonic Forest's counterattack? Because once the demons are angered, it will be a disaster for Humans!]
[The leader of the Cat-Eared tribe clarified your questions. It turns out that the Holy Empire is not just a simple empire of Humans. They are a system of religion and politics. The Pope is the king! Not only do they have extremely strong military power, but the sheer number of Humans they nurture is also very terrifying. Although they are not necessarily stronger than the existences in the Demonic Forest in terms of combat power, they can make up for it in numbers!]
[What they believe in is the Kingdom of Angels. They worship the gods of the Kingdom of Angels with the power and support of the entire country. In exchange for their unwavering faith, the Kingdom of Angels provides them with protection!]
[No one knows the power of the Kingdom of Angels better than Lucian. He finally understands why those Human slave hunters dare to openly enter the Demonic Forest to hunt!]
[At this point, the leader of the Cat-Eared tribe sighed and complained to you. Recently, the strength of the slave hunters has increased again, and the number of hunters spotted in the Forest has suddenly increased sharply. The number of demonic creatures captured in the south of the Forest every day is countless!]
[Even some of the Cat-Eared have been captured by Humans! With their status in the Demonic Forest, they have friends everywhere. Even if the Cat-Eared are in danger, the demons of other races will not hesitate to help them.]
[The capture of the Cat-Eared can only mean one thing. Those slave hunters will capture all the demonic creatures that offer help, using the Cat-Eared tribe as bait!]
[Because of this, the Cat-Eared tribe has also gathered all their clansmen recently. They are all staying in the gathering place and are not allowed to go out alone. They are not afraid of the invasion of the Goblins and do not have to worry about the shrinking of their territory. But in the long run, the leader is worried that the slave hunters will reach into their gathering place!]
[This worry of his is not a wild guess. This kind of real situation has happened before. In a position on the southern edge of the Demonic Forest, there is an unknown small race. Although their strength is not very strong, their strength is very troublesome if all their clansmen are gathered together. Even Goblins are unwilling to provoke a race that has gathered together. However, the Human slave hunters have managed to capture the entire race silently, in their gathering place!]
[All of this makes all the demon races in the southern land ridge of the Demonic Forest worried. Even some unruly races don't dare to walk out of their gathering place at this time. At this moment, the entire south is shrouded in terrifying dark clouds!]
