Survival of the Demon King of Another World 207

Chapter 207 – A Saint! #2

“Carti! Enemy troop size!”
“About three hundred! Those soldiers are in hot pursuit!”
“Three hundred…!”

That’s a lot!

Full version 3 company level!
It’s more than twice as big as mine!

“However.”

You can win

I’ll fight at night anyway, and my enemies don’t know about me. This battle will make my presence known… But it’s worth taking. It was something I had to do someday. Above all, a chance to gain combat experience against the human army!

Let’s do that now. Don’t worry. I have trained infantry and elite cavalry. Even here is my bar. Surprise unknown enemies at night in my nawabari?

I can’t lose.

Besides, my subordinates have good night vision!

“Carti! The saintess!”
“We’ve lost most of our troops except for the Royal Guard knights! We’ll lose all of our troops soon! We’re practically alone!”
“Great!”

Kidnapping the saintess would also be simple. The number of escorts must have been greatly reduced while fighting the baron’s soldiers. It’s a win for me!

“All troops!”

Soon all my soldiers were armed and gathered at the parade ground.

“The human army is coming! We will subdue them! Got it!”
“Kereuuugh!”
“Kreurreuk!”

Morale is high.

“Each platoon leader must clearly command the troops under his command! Moving is unconditionally moving in platoon units! Infantry must stick close together without falling apart! Got it!”

He quickly briefed his subordinates who had gathered in that way.

I know which direction to go.

All you have to do is get supplies and advance. If you enter from that side and leave from this side, there is a high probability that the battle will take place within two days. Calculate it and get it.

“Julia! This time it’s human hunting! Can we do it well!”
“Of course, Maou-nim. Please leave it to me.”

The role of the cavalry is very important.

“Serineu! When the unit advances, spread out the pixies and conduct a reconnaissance of the surroundings! Got it!”
“I will!”
“Ruby-sama! The total duration of the operation is expected to be three to four days, so please calculate the supplies! The SS members, move with the Dark Elves!”

Everyone is familiar with this situation. Because I’ve been through many battles in the meantime. Everyone quickly carried out my orders, and we were ready to march.

“From now on, we will conduct a night march!”

Let’s go.

*          *

The situation is not good.

The baron’s army is in hot pursuit. I never thought I’d send troops as soon as I tried to make contact. It wasn’t unexpected, but it was so fast.

“Kuhh…!”

It was a bitter mistake. There may be a next opportunity. The guards were wiped out while fighting the baron’s army, and only the guards commander, Leah, remained.

“Saintess! Focus on escaping now!”
“Know!”

Cecilia and Leah ran through the dense jungle alone.

The good news was that cavalry could not be operated in these unexplored areas. After all, it is a situation where you have to run with your body, and in that case, it is more advantageous to have divine power than ordinary soldiers.

However, both the saintess and the captain of the guard were exhausted.

Holy power will be consumed more quickly. The number of torches approaching from behind amplifies the anxiety. In this situation, even erasing the traces is impossible. Even if the speed of the enemies is a little slow, if you follow their traces, you will surely reach them.

“We have to keep running until the pursuit subsides, saintess.”
“Do you know where to go?”
“Right now… I can’t judge. For now, I have to run away as far as possible. It’s okay to find a way after repelling the chase.”

Leah was thinking of finding a waterway. If she uses it, she’ll be able to cut the trail once.

“Okay. I trust Leah.”
“Huh-huh, yes. Just trust me.”
“Your smile is so believable.”

Even if you repel the pursuit of the soldiers, the monsters will remain. Of course, if it was Leah, the captain of the Guard, even if the monsters attacked, she could defeat them without any problems. Because monsters don’t have a trained army.

If you hide well somewhere in this jungle, you should be able to repel the pursuit.

“No matter what happens, I will make the saintess escape. So, harden her heart.”
“It always does. Alas, look. The torch is moving away little by little. You seem to have a good orientation.”
“…I guess so.”

Emotions boiled over at the encouraging tone, but Leah continued to run without expressing it. While holding the saintess’s hand.

You can’t stop.

There are also knights with mana on the other side. He will find this way with a keen sense. Of course, he didn’t attack because he was trying to avoid a head-to-head match with himself, but he would continue to lead the pursuit team.

‘It’s not good.’

The annihilation of angels and the revival of the Goddess Church in a situation where even the life of the saintess cannot be guaranteed right now. Leah’s thoughts were skeptical.

From the time the angels descended, the Goddess Church had completely collapsed.

Wouldn’t it be better to break the saintess’ stubbornness and save her life? He spent a lot of time with the saint as the head of the royal guard. I know her saintly beliefs, her ambitions, and her abilities. She wants to live as the saintess wishes.

But if that’s difficult… What choice should I make as the captain of the Guard? Is it a priority to somehow save her life. Or is it a priority for her to silently assist the saintess for her purpose, even if she dies?

Leia pondered in the dark.

*          *

Repeat march, rest, and reconnaissance.

After the night march, the day dawned, and after a rest, it was night when they marched again. After resting and scouting, march again.

Thus began the third night march.

“War is just a series of marches.”

Tired, but no one said it was hard. Slowly, the premonition of a battle began to emerge.

“Maang-nim. I don’t feel it yet.”
“Really? Sharan did a good job.”
“Char.”

With the marching speed slowed down, they made their way through the darkness while maintaining a sense of tension so that they could form formations at any time.

A situation where one side comes and the other side goes. In terms of time, a battle will surely take place in this darkness today. When I thought about it, my heart felt like it would explode.

“Maang-nim. Don’t worry. Sharan-nim will protect Maang-nim.”
“Demon King.

Sharan and Rumika encouragement.

Hehe, yes. It’s reassuring if the two of you protect it.”

And behind me are the SS and Dark Elves. I can’t use the Dark Elves in battle yet… But I’ve got the weapon in hand. He must have the fighting spirit to fight against the people who come running.

“So. When the saintess comes, she will be captured.”
“Yes. Reika-sama. If you see it, please catch it.”
“Well, it’s better than falling into the hands of the angels and letting them die. That’s how it should be.”
“Oh, I guess you like the saintess too?”
“I’ve never seen or heard of it, bastard. She just said that she was a religious saint, so I don’t want to see her die…”

I was very worried about that. Because it’s a style with a lot of affection. When the angels informed her that they would catch and kill the saintess, she fell into rage.

As we talk like that, we are slowly advancing.

ㅡBooooong!

Serinyu flew in.
That too in a bit of a hurry.

“Hey…! I found it! I see a torch in the distance!”
“That’s right! You’ve finally appeared! Serinyu! Assemble the pixies!”
“Yes!”

Immediately, Serinyu flew away, and the pixies began to gather one by one. I ordered the gathered pixies.

“Guys. It’s a flying kules!”
“Haenguls!”
“It’s a flight!”
“Catch!”

The pixies rushed right in and clung to me and grabbed my body.

And.

ㅡ Buuuuung.

They flap their wings all at once and fly. In response, my body floated up and slowly rose.

Flying with pixies!

This is the Flight Cule!

“Oh oh…!”

As the altitude increases, the scenery over there begins to be visible.

ㅡ…

A group of torches visible from the other side.

Humans need a light source when moving at night. Coincidentally, today was the worst day for moonlight. It was a day of pitch black darkness. For those of us who rely on fireflies to walk, those torches stand out too much.

Great.

The location is roughly taken.

All that remains is to hit their flanks and rear.

“Put it down.”
“Aww…!”

After landing quickly, I gathered each platoon leader and gave an order.

“We found a human army ahead. Now we’ll make a slight detour and hit their rear and flanks. Lim Sung-ah.”
“Kkeureuk! Mowangnim!”
“You go round with Lumpbeak and sneak towards the rear of the human army. Your goal is to strike from behind. The imp sets fire and kills a few humans with the hobgoblins. So to speak, disrupting the rear. Can you do it? Imsungi.”
“I can do it! Imps are good at arson and escape!
Hehe, you’re very trustworthy! Then I’ll attach the pixies to you!”

Imps and Hobgoblins as Back Disruptors.

“Julia-sama. It’s time for human hunting.”
“Huh-huh, yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
“It’s a good time. You can sweep it all away.”

Julia smiled like a snake. The thought of seeing blood must have made him happy. Lamia are literally hunters by nature.

“This time it’s nighttime, so let’s all come together and attack instead of tearing into both sides. Please move to the flank of the human army. And when I give the order, charge all at once. Then tear them all apart.”
“Okay. But what about the orders?”
“I’ll make it rain very loudly from the sky.”

Lamia cavalry as strike team.

“The rest of us are marching in square formations.”
“Keruk!

Kobolds and Lizardmen assist in Goblin Square.

“And the SS guard me. We will search for her saint.”

All I had to do was find the saintess while issuing orders from behind the square. Anyway. I gave the order in detail like that.

“Then to the fighting position!”

ㅡPapapapat!

Troops were immediately moved.

Now it’s a crash.

Your heart is beating.
