County Magistrate Shen Zhiming sat at a stone table, his expression graver than ever before.
The current demon beast scourge in Linji Prefecture had hit three counties the hardest: Xin'an County, Moshan County, and Xinyi County.
Of these three, the situation in Xin'an County, which was under the Jiang Family's control, was the most severe.
There were four reported incidents involving suspected Tier Four Demon Beasts and three separate Demon Beast Tides.
In Xinyi County, controlled by the Wang Family, there were also three incidents involving Tier Four Demon Beasts and three Demon Beast Tides.
Moshan County had it the lightest, with only two incidents involving Tier Four Demon Beasts and two Demon Beast Tides.
The forces of the three families had formed Demon-slaying Teams to handle the scourge, and each was making progress.
