As the alarm signal was raised, one of William's common-ranked summons hurried into the room. "Lord, the demons... they've surrounded us from all sides!" she announced, her voice filled with urgency.
William quickly turned to the screen displaying his territory. His eyes narrowed as he observed the map, showing the red dots that represented enemy forces. Each side of his land was swarming with over 500 demons, making for a total of approximately 2,000 enemies attacking from every direction.
"It seems my Soul Purity is attracting a lot of strong ones," William muttered to himself as he analyzed the situation. His gaze shifted to the larger dots on the screen, indicating several powerful Knight-class demons among the horde. These demons were on the verge of claiming their own territories—one step away from evolving into Baronet-class, a lower noble rank of demons.
