It turns out, demons can be afraid too.
After the Knife Fox Demon was killed, the many demons that had been gathering at the entrance of Backhill Village scattered in a frenzy. Watching the demons disperse, Rocky finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't send the warship to pursue them, but instead, with Liliya's support, he returned to Backhill Village.
The previous battle could be said to have resulted in heavy losses for Rocky's side. At first, everyone thought it was just a small group of demons attacking and didn't worry too much, after all, Backhill Village now had high walls and a strong defense, too powerful for a small group of demons to pose any threat.
But unexpectedly, what started as an attack by a small group of demons quickly escalated into an assault by several hundred demons, and ultimately, it attracted a terrifyingly powerful high-level demon, leading to substantial losses for Rocky.
