บท 328: Between rock and a hard place

Liam was surprised because though the demon looked anxious and nervous he did not look worried. Instead, he seemed very thrilled.

"Garrison leader!" The demon stopped, clenched his fists in excitement, and spoke slowly. "We have received 20 war scrolls this time!"

"Huh? War scrolls?" Liam did not immediately understand what the demon was blabbering about.

"Yes, leader. Not 2 like the other small towns and cities! We have received 20! A total of 20!" The demon explained with big round eyes.

All the other demons standing around Liam also looked shocked and gasped loudly, exchanging looks with each other.

They all looked visibly excited and stared at the dozen scrolls in the demon's hands as if they were seeing a great treasure.

Liam, on the other hand, was on a different page. Now he finally understood what was going on!

This was why Nyaka hadn't retaliated just yet.
