That made it less difficult to guess. It was nothing more than a case of one plum tree taking the place of another—replacing the original and taking its place.
By using special Demon Race members such as Illusion Demons, Amilo Worms, Shapeshifting Demons, Brain-Eating Demons, and the like to completely replace Free City's management, they could seize this human city isolated within Demon Race territory.
