The top of the abyss, Watch Town, the surveillance organization.
"We have received instructions from the headquarters and will send two rescue teams to search for your companions." Faced with the requests of several demigods, the demigod knight leader Abel showed an embarrassment and replied, "I'm sorry, we can't send more people."
"Two rescue teams are too few, aren't they?" Apirius frowned and said, "To find someone in the abyss, if the rescue team consists of five people, there must be at least hundreds of people."
"The Abyss has been unstable recently. The war between the cave dwellers and the dark elves is still going on, and there have been changes in the populations of harpies and poisonous lizards. Just this morning, I heard that the Shadow Demon Lord attacked the lower part of the Dark Elf Empire, causing all the demigods of the thirteen clans to be dispatched."
Abel declined and said, "In this chaotic war situation, we must maintain a large number of manpower to protect Watchtown. Behind us is the human world, Watchtown must not fall, please understand."
The other party was polite and pitiful, and the demigods didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Abel said:
"How about this? There are about a dozen exploration teams still out there. I'll send them a message first. If they find relevant clues outside, they'll come back and inform you right away. Before that, please take a rest in the town. How about that?"
“No need.” The Succubus Queen said with a smile, “Since you are unwilling to send anyone, there is no point in us staying here any longer. Let’s just go down and find someone.”
"Alas, the abyss is a complex environment with many branching roads. It's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with the environment." Abel wanted to try harder, "In fact, our people can find the way faster..."
"Then can the Knight Commander send more people?" The Succubus Queen laughed softly, "A few dozen exploration teams cannot meet our needs."
Abel: …
After leaving the surveillance organization, Medea sneered:
"These knights are so shameless. Not only are they unwilling to send people to help us find the leader, but they also want all of you demigod seniors to stay here to help them defend Watch Town. Do they think we are all fools?"
"I know Abel, he's a relatively honest person." Red-haired Otto said, "He said he couldn't spare any manpower, so that must be true. It seems that the recent disturbances in the abyss are more serious than we thought."
"Is it dangerous to move?" Nora asked in a low voice, her worry evident in her words.
"There are about 60 human demigods in Watch Town," Apirius said. "From the top floor down to the mushroom forest, there are more than 80 demigods from the united tribe of cave dwellers. Further down in the Deep Sea, the demigods of the dark elf clan are said to exceed 120, not to mention the demigod-level extraordinary monsters entrenched in the large cave at the bottom. Their number alone is more than 10 times that of the intelligent races."
"In the final analysis, humans are only the weakest force in the abyss. If it weren't for the fact that we occupy the safest top layer of the abyss and have the resources from the main plane, it would be difficult for us to even gain a foothold."
"Then where will Askmier and the others end up?" Shirley asked in a deep voice.
"It should be a big cave." said red-haired Otto.
