As soon as they sensed the activation of the Demon Lord's power, the entire enemy army immediately began to retreat. I'd like to ridicule them all for being so pathetic, but it's not good that they need to stop their march.

The fighting instincts of demons that have been awakened are enhanced, but it is not a permanent enhancement. And as soon as it is released, the repercussions of the past will hit the body. My harpies are also fatigued just from staying in the air, not fighting directly. The fatigue of the other demons who engaged in direct combat must be considerable.

If they continue to benefit from it during the march, almost all of the lower ranks will die out when the human castle falls. Hence the need for a rest period.

"The troops say that it will take a few more moments for the lower level demons to recover their strength. Also, it seems that some of the troops have been obstructed by demons. It seems that the demons are mainly demons in Garne and skeletons in Mejis.

"Purple and blue? I'm not sure what to make of this. But they're retreating fast. Are the humans being too cautious, or do they understand the impact of my power? I'm sure the other Demon Lords don't know about my power, though.

"No way! I'm sure the other Demon Lords don't know about my power, but... - No way! Near Kogakioss's troops, enemy soldiers have emerged from the woods! And also around Gehertehel's squad!

And also around Geherte Helle's troops! I thought we had pulled back, but now we're turning around and attacking again? I don't understand. I don't understand.

"Check the perimeter for other units.

We've got no sign of them on immediate ...... observation from the air!

How long until the ...... fight begins?

About three minutes, give or take!

Get ready to intercept. You have two and a half minutes to use the power of the struggle against them.

What?

Two and a half minutes after I give the order. Two and a half minutes later, the Demon Lord directed the magic wave in the direction of the troops and activated the power. It would be easier to use it in all directions at once, but it is also possible to reinforce only specific battlefields in this way. This way, reckless assaults can be intercepted without difficulty.

The enemy forces have suddenly begun to retreat!

"I see. It seems you know the nature of our power. It looks like they only gave the order to march to see if they can use it individually.

Such ......

What's the percentage of subhumans in the enemy ranks?

It's ...... decreasing. The majority of the subhumans have moved to the rear and have switched to an archer-based formation.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's not just that. He's already adapted and adopted countermeasures. At this rate, a satisfactory recovery will be ......!

The force has been lifted. Tell all troops to march.

Are you sure you don't want them to recover?

As long as there's been no engagement, this power activation won't be too much of a burden. If we rest any longer, there is a high possibility that the enemy will search for the time necessary for recovery. It will be less efficient than staying, but we can recover somewhat on foot.

That's true. If the enemy understands the recovery time required by lower level demons, it will be easier for them to interfere appropriately. It may be best not to give them any information, even if it is a bit overwhelming,.......

"Immediately!

The enemy will use a lot of surprise attacks and traps. Use your strength as soon as the battle begins, but don't order them to chase you if they seem to be running away. We must limit our consumption and steadily advance our position.

The Demon Lord does not show any signs of agitation or frustration. To the Demon Lord, this must mean that this situation is nothing more than this. In the first place, this whole battle is just something that the Demon Lord is arranging for the humans. It's a sideshow to give all the unnamed demons a chance to fight. It was a sideshow to give all the nameless demons a chance to fight, and I had no right to be happy or sad about it.

"Zobelamitaya's troops have discovered enemy troops to the east of their advance. At present, they are approaching while maintaining their formation.

If they can be seen and are moving slowly, they are probably decoys. If it's seen and moving slowly, it's probably a decoy. Assume there are other ambushers and traps waiting for us.

Ha!

I have to be a tool. I have to be a tool. I have to be a tool only to reproduce the will of the demon lord more clearly.



That's the signal to retreat. I'm retreating too.

Another retreat? What is the king of Taze thinking?

I and the purple army need to stay close by as a guardian in case of emergency. If the Taze or Medis forces move, we need to move to keep a certain distance.

As for the troops that have rings to give orders to the demons, they only need to be ordered to wait around, so there is no need to devote attention to them. But for the troops that I directly command, I need to accompany them myself. In short, I'm being pushed around by King Taze's command, and I'm being pushed left and right without fighting.

I've improved the skill and quality of my demons, and I'm going to do my best! But you've lost all your enthusiasm. I'd rather just charge into a handy enemy.

You've heard from your compatriots. The Scarlet Witch King's power of Struggle is too much for demons to handle. The Scarlet Witch King's power of Struggle is too much for demons to handle, so we'll let them abuse it and avoid fighting to exhaustion.

In this war, the influence of the power of struggle is very large. In the event that you've got a good number of demons from me and purple, but if scarlet uses its power, its total power will easily exceed ours. The most dangerous thing is to upgrade the intermediate and advanced demons.

When you have a bunch of lower level demons competing against each other, you can handle the intermediate level, but you are almost helpless against the advanced level. In the end, no matter how many lower level demons you have, you'll have your hands full with the enhanced lower level demons of Scarlet.

In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm not sure what to make of it.

In the event that you're not in the Quama demon world, propagating the magic power to revive you will increase a certain amount of burden. In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

You've been told to avoid using human corpses. I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.

But ...... ah, that's so frustrating!

I'm not sure how stressful it is to have to fight with a limited number of soldiers. I'm not sure how much easier it was to invade in the past, when you could push your way in with numbers and mass.

It's right after we pulled out. There will be time to move again. There should be a village a little further into the Medis territory from here. Why don't you rest there for a while?

I'll do that. Being in another demon lord's demon world is harder than I thought.

The Mejis army is currently camped in the Mejis demon world and is slowly retreating. We're also in the Mejis demon world, but to be honest, we're feeling suffocated.

The Demon Lord can create a demon world where demons are created by the magic power that leaks from his body. It's a powerful force, but it's just a way for the Demon Lord to create a territory where he can live comfortably. If it's the territory of humans, it's comparatively better, but if it's the demon world of others, it's even uncomfortable.

If I were to repaint this area as my demon world, I would be able to operate with ease, but that too is nailed to the wall by that man. He said, "It would be bad for my reputation if I were to increase the number of demon worlds in the battle to prevent the demon world from invading. That's petty.

"Then I'll have a meeting with Lakra, Gillista, and Harkdock. I'll let you know on the chain if anything happens.

This Harkdock, why'd you put him in here?

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future. I'm not sure why I faint when I look directly at the Demon Lord. It's so pathetic to watch. That's why I can't face the others.

Well, what do you mean? It's not like I'm going to miss them or anything. But it's an inconvenience.

There's a Purple Demon Lord and a Golden Demon Lord in Garne. It seems to be an easy decision to see which one is a bigger burden.

"Oh, ...... that's right. It's better to have one than two. Why didn't you just leave him?

Not so fast. Hark-dog's ability to sense danger is unparalleled. The fact that they sent us a man who can avert the worst just by being around him is a measure to prevent our people from getting their hands on him.

But he's not much of a fighter, is he?

I don't know. At least I don't want to fight them again.

Huh. I heard that Ekuduk had continued his rivalry with Lakra even after losing to him once. The fact that such a hot-headed Ecdysius wants to avoid him means that there's something going on. I'm not interested.

"If we turn him into a demon, he won't faint, will he?

You're right. I'll talk to my people about it.

I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You can't just add a bunch of demons just for the sake of it.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... Well, I think it wasn't a bad decision.

This is the reason why it's so important for you to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to say about that, but I think it's a bit of a problem.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'd rather that be the case. I don't care if it's gold or purple. I don't care if it's gold or purple.

It's not getting any worse. It's not going to decrease. Then I'll leave the rest to you.

I'd love to have a long talk with you, but I need to rest first. If we're not careful, we could end up having to go back to the village and immediately start working again.

Use a disguise spell on the undead horse to make it look like a normal horse. He can run without regard to his physical limitations, and is as fast as a Tarzan horse. I know it's not a unique class, but maybe I can name my horse after myself? I'm not a unique class, but maybe I could name my horse after one?

I'm going to fly at maximum speed all the way to Mejis territory, and when I see the village, I'll slow down to the same speed as a normal horse. It's not that I don't know enough about the world to make myself stand out unintentionally.

Many soldiers are already resting in the village. It seems that most of the evacuation has already taken place, but some villagers have stayed behind to provide rations and other things for the soldiers.

When I arrived at the entrance, I was stopped by a soldier. A woman riding in on a horse without a weapon might be considered somewhat disturbing.

Do you have something to identify yourself with?

Yes, that should do it, right?

I'll show you the handbill the man gave me beforehand. It's not the Ghanaian army, or the Medis, or the Tarzan army, but it's a special handprint to prove that you're active in this war.

The soldier looks a little complicated. It's Mejis's army, and I'm a neutral member of the Demon Lord's army. I mean, I'm a demon lord. I don't think they know my face.

Are you alone?

Yeah, I'm here on a break with the others. Don't you have a house to stay in?

Yeah. His Holiness told me to make sure there's an empty one at each location. It's the house with the same sign as the pattern on the bill.

Looks like you can't take it personal when the top brass tells you to. Well, I don't mind if you do.

I'll let you pass then.

Wait. Get off your horse. There are villagers as well as soldiers working here and there now.

Oh, yes.

I don't want to run through, but if the horse is startled, there could be a commotion. I dismounted and gave the horse a light tap on the rump. The horse turns on its heel and leaves the village.

He's gone. ...... Are you sure?

"I don't care. He's a smart boy. If I want to leave the village, he'll come for me.

Oh, really? ......

Oh, aren't ordinary horses that smart? Doesn't matter. Let's go in.

Most of the soldiers in the village are resting or checking on supplies. Looks like there's no wounded soldiers. Well, if they're retreating so quickly, it's probably only Taze's knights who are fighting properly.

I look for the house I'm looking for and check around for signs. I checked with a handy soldier and was able to find it quickly. The house is a little to the side of the square where the rationing is going on. It might be a little noisy for sleeping, so we put up a barrier.

Just as I was about to enter the house, a woman came out of the house carrying a lot of blankets. She looked like a villager, or someone who was helping to serve.

"Well, um, do you think she might be the one who uses the house?

"Yes, I am. Here's the bill.

Well, how many more people are there ......?

So you're short on supplies and you're trying to borrow supplies from this unused house. It's no wonder that the number of soldiers stationed here is greater than the total number of villagers.

It's just me for now. There will be two or three of us at most.

"Oh, good. In that case, there's still a lot of time left, so take your time.

I'm going to, but you can't see ahead if you're carrying so much at once. If you fall, the soldiers will have to sleep on muddy blankets. Give it to me.

Take half of the blanket and carry it with you. Cheap blankets are hard and heavy. It's better to sleep on a blanket that's been lightened with magic, so that you can sleep comfortably and recover more magic power. Anyway, I helped her out, but that doesn't mean I took away her job, does it?

I'm sorry to bother you, but ...... looks like you're an adventurer, right?

It's similar. But no.

"...... I see.

The woman is very understandably depressed. I wonder if the fact that I am not an adventurer is a reason for her to be so depressed. I don't know, I feel like it's my fault.

I don't remember you being so extremely depressed.

Oh, no, I'm sorry! I heard that some adventurers were involved in this fight, so I wanted to talk to you. ......

You don't look like you used to be an adventurer. Did you always want to be one?

I heard that your son is an adventurer. I was wondering if I could ask him about it. ......

Oh, that's right. It sounds like he's an adventurer who hasn't been home in a long time, but the life of an adventurer is not guaranteed tomorrow. If you search too hard, you might end up finding out that he's dead.

He must be a very selfish son to abandon his village and parents to become an adventurer.

"...... I hope you're right.

I was being sarcastic. I hope so.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. ...... My son and I were separated when I was very young and I've never seen him again. It was a very sad way to say goodbye. ...... I had given up hope that he would ever live. ....... But recently I received a letter from a great man who said he was alive and working as an adventurer.

...... Hmm? It's all in your mind, right? There's something tricky. I don't know where I've heard that before.

It's a strange coincidence that a big shot sent me a letter.

Yeah. I really think so. I really think so, but I'm wondering if this person might be related to my daughter.

You have a daughter?

Yeah, only this one was separated from her at another time. ......

You've been separated too many times!

The story of separation itself is quite common. But to experience them separately is ...... unfortunate. Yeah. I'm sure I'm more unfortunate than you, but I'm not going to brag about my misfortune because it's too vain.

I'm not a good parent. But as a parent, I'm glad. My son is alive and well as an adventurer, and my daughter is doing well as a bishop of Yggra. ......

...... Oh, this is, wait, wait, wait? I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea. I'm not sure what to say.

I don't know. Can I ask your name? Maybe one of the names sounds familiar to you. ......

Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. My name is Natra, Natra-Sarv. My son's name is Ekduik and my daughter's name is Lakra.
