They are currently on a secret mission, so naturally the fewer people who know about it, the better.
If some brave warrior discovers this, all we can do is ask them to keep it a secret.
After all... their agility was far above the average for normal heroes, as if four "highly agile" heroes had suddenly appeared in the fields.
Returning from the direction of the demons must mean something big has happened!
If the heroes discover this, they will surely speculate, which will cause panic among everyone, and that would be bad.
The streets were very quiet at night, and the four members of the Saintess Squad did not encounter any other heroes on the road.
Although there are brave warriors guarding the border city of the demon race, it is already a [low priority] and [low risk] area.
In short, there is almost no demonic threat left in the region.
The level will only change if the demon city suddenly attacks, or if there is some kind of demon threat.
Regions with low priority and low risk naturally do not need so many brave warriors.
The heroes of this region are either out providing support to other places or infiltrating the demon realm.
In terms of progress, the Saintess Squad's four members are leveling up at a rate far exceeding the average.
Looking across the entire human territory, it was only during this period that level 100 heroes began to emerge in large numbers, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and level 200 was something that heroes dared not even dream of.
So the heroes are still desperately leveling up, taking turns guarding their garrisons. The city no longer sees the bustling activity of heroes that once filled the area when low-level demons roamed freely.
Of course, the members of the Hero Alliance are fixed and will not be reduced due to lower priority or risk.
Since the heroes appeared, the number of believers has increased day by day, and there is no worry about manpower at all.
The number of staff will not only not decrease, but will actually increase over time, to the point that there are so many that it's hard to know how to allocate them. Those who are not busy are busy repairing houses and farming for the residents. 6
Soon, the four walked straight into the Hero Alliance, immediately attracting the attention of the white-robed believers in the hall.
"It's so late, what brings you here?" The believer looked at the four men in black robes who walked in through the gate with a puzzled expression.
In his common sense, heroes were usually dressed in white, so he wondered if this was a homeless stranger seeking help.
Lycorina did not reveal her face, but silently raised her hand. A flash of white light appeared in her hand, and a staff appeared out of thin air.
"Are you four... Heroes?!" the believer asked.
“We need to see the higher-ups here,” Lycorina said, her voice altered by the [Aspect of Nothingness].

There are as many heroes as there are with staffs, and summoning a staff alone won't expose one's identity.
In fact, it's not just staffs; there are just as many heroes who use swords and shields.
For example, An's junior sister, the Wind Warrior Marie, is a magic swordsman who usually uses a sword as her weapon.
The Magic Swordsman and An Yi follow different paths. The Magic Swordsman mainly focuses on magic power, and while not investing in strength, he also invests in attributes related to physical strength.
An Yi, on the other hand, is the main force.
Simply put, it's about swapping the points for [Strength] and [Magic], and the application scenarios are also slightly different.
It's nothing more than the degree of influence on magic when facing high-magic-power demons, and... the ability to pretend to be a physically weak high-magic-power demon to lower the enemy's guard.
Back in the present, the four of them soon met with the highest-ranking official of the local Hero Alliance.
"Four valiant warriors, is there something urgent?" the person in charge asked solemnly.
The four members of the Saintess Squad were simply wearing black robes, but apart from Lycorina, they did not deliberately conceal their appearances.
There are no photographs or similar things in this world; at most, there are similar portraits. And the other party doesn't display portraits at home every day, so naturally, they wouldn't recognize three of the four.
“You’re not high enough. We need to see your superior. Do you have a map?” Lycorina said bluntly.
"Yes!" The person in charge answered without hesitation.
Doubt? The fact that the other party can produce a divinely bestowed weapon means their identity is beyond doubt.
As for what they wanted to do, the person in charge knew that it was not something he could ask.
These brave warriors weren't dressed in white; instead, they were dressed in mysterious attire.
Isn't this exactly the kind of attire that heroes who infiltrate the demon realm would wear?
Soon, the person in charge brought over a map of the nearby towns.
The followers of the Hero Alliance are naturally divided into ranks; if there were no ranks, it would certainly cause chaos in management.
How can we neglect the management of heroes who directly serve them?
Therefore, there is not only a hierarchy, but also a strict system to maintain order and stability.
Small and medium-sized villages do not have a Hero Alliance, while slightly larger villages and towns have Hero Alliances of the same level.
Two levels above that refer to managers at the town level and above, and city-level managers at the county level and above.
In city-level cities, you rarely see heroes in the Hero Alliance, so in large cities, the Hero Alliance basically only serves as an information relay station.
The intelligence can be taken to that place and then relayed back directly to the Aldrich Theocracy after another transmission.
They ventured deep into the human city overnight, and the four members of the Saintess Squad didn't even rest for a moment. They simply took some food and left.
They continued their journey until dawn was breaking.
Upon arriving at the local Hero Alliance, they revealed their identities once again, and the highest-ranking official in the region immediately took them seriously, bringing them to his office just as dawn broke.
This level of person in charge is equivalent to a Level 3 Archbishop within the Aldrich Church. △♂Four『
What rank is an archbishop?
It was when Lycorina became the Holy Hero that the group of believers below shouted, "Humanity is saved!"
In other words, believers at the level of "archbishop" are those who can see the Pope and saints in such large gatherings.
Inside the archbishop's office.
The archbishop, dressed in a white and gold robe and looking rather old, felt a little nervous upon seeing the four men's attire: "Four heroes, is there any information you wish to convey?"
Without exchanging pleasantries, the archbishop cut to the chase.
He knew very well that the four of them had rushed from the Demon Realm overnight because they had very important intelligence!
Lycorina pulled back her hood, her facial features changed rapidly, and her long white hair cascaded down.
The archbishop was taken aback at first, then knelt down with a thud: "Archbishop Tatara Bond greets Her Highness the Saintess!"
He won't admit his mistake!
How could he admit his mistake!
This is none other than the highest saintess of their Aldrich Church, humanity's first hero, the [Holy Hero] Lycorina Aldrich!!
Her Highness can actually change her appearance?!
A miracle! This is a miracle!
Licorina said seriously, "You don't normally have the right to know about our current activities, but time is of the essence, and we need you to convey some information."
Based on our activities within the Demon Realm during this period, I would like to make some necessary modifications to the upcoming actions of the Heroes' Alliance.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The archbishop quickly scrambled to his feet and knelt before the table, pen in hand. His deep-set, withered eyes seemed to blaze with fire as he stared intently at Lycorina, listening attentively.
Before Lycorina could even speak, the Archbishop suddenly remembered something;
"Oh! Please, Your Highness and the three heroes, sit down and let's talk!"
The old man hurried off to pull out chairs for the four people.
“We can do it ourselves,” Lycorina said, raising her hand.
Before the archbishop could even see clearly, the chair had already appeared behind Lycorina.
She sat down calmly and began to speak.
The three of them stood silently at the back, listening to Lycorina explain her plans for the future.
"First, there are unreasonable modifications to the current campaign and intelligence gathering plans."
Lycorina began to speak;
"In the process of defeating the demons, the heroes need to devote almost all their time to defeating the demons."
Whether it's moving around, going to different demon cities to find targets to subdue, or even carrying out a subjugation plan after finding a target, it's all about the process.
The time devoted to fighting the demons was so limited that it was difficult to report intelligence, and even resupplying food was extremely difficult.
Therefore, from this moment on, heroes who vanquish the demons no longer need to return to supply points at fixed times or submit intelligence reports regularly.
As Li Zhong, qun:′∠似≌^〇'泤叁☆wu〃「陆｝丝可琳娜 spoke, the archbishop wrote furiously.
Her words were quickly processed in the archbishop's mind, and the key information was extracted and written down on the paper in front of him.
Knowing that the archbishop needed to take notes, Lycorina didn't continue speaking immediately, until the archbishop stopped writing and looked up at her again.
The archbishop had a moment to catch his breath, and at the same time, doubts began to creep into his mind;
No supplies needed? No intelligence reports?
So... how exactly do the heroes resupply among the demons?
And not reporting intelligence is just too much...
Lycorina continued, "Regarding supplies and intelligence, my thoughts are as follows:"
From now on, establish more supply depots among the demons and involve more agile warriors in support work.
A rotation system was adopted, dividing the heroes into two groups: one specifically responsible for support work, and the other specifically responsible for fighting demons.
"Therefore, there are two hero teams in the region, which we will call Team One and Team Two for now."
For a certain period of time, allow one team to focus on defeating the demons.
Meanwhile, the other two teams continuously resupplyed the first team and, while investigating the surrounding area, relayed the first team's intelligence back to them.
During this period, the second team will not engage in any raids until the first team reaches its level cap, at which point the second team will switch to providing support.
This process continues until the second team reaches its level cap.
In this way, the heroes who are fighting the demons can focus on their battles, while also receiving timely supplies and sharing information.
