Earl's Inner Demon

When the Great Demon Commander announced the Expeditionary Force's first combat objective.

Inside the crow carriage.

The Earl's head, growing from the blood hound's maw, suddenly trembled.

The Scarlet Count knew the situation in Perugia, a secondary important city, better than anyone, because he had spent some time there.

Once, the Earl had tried to expand his private network of connections and unexpectedly made contact with the Association President in the Holy City.

The Scarlet Count had traveled all the way to the Alagad Mountains and happened to pass through Perugia, a "city brimming with artistic atmosphere."

The Old King behind Perugia was not hostile toward the Old King behind the Earl.

Carrying the "Mobile Deed," the Earl had received a warm welcome from the Perugia Lord due to his status as a lord.

Having expended considerable energy on the journey, the Earl had planned to remain in Perugia for a while, while also trying to expand another network of connections and establish ties with the Old King here.

However.

Less than two days after settling in Perugia.

The Earl abandoned every plan he had made, found an excuse, and fled the city overnight.

Even after entering the Alagad Mountains, he remained uneasy, setting up a large number of bloodline scouts along the mountain roads to ensure that no monsters from Perugia were following him.

Only after the Earl reached the other side of the Alagad Mountains, placed down the deed, and fully unfolded Scarlet Villa did he finally relax.

Whenever he recalled the time he had spent in Perugia, he still felt lingering fear.

"You humans really know how to pick your targets for conquest... That city is very strange. Even this Earl does not dare enter it lightly.

Not to mention anything else.

I have privately established connections
