Chapter 207 – Chapter 19 – Civil War
A place like the throat that goes into the castle of demons.
The Demon King’s army led by Klaus entered the Sehara Gorge.
Originally, blocking this place would have been a more strategic decision.
It was a decision made because he knew that he could not completely destroy Aupen.
“Klaus. The enemy’s main force is encamped on the slopes within the canyon. It seems that they are waiting for their allies to enter before attacking them.”
Despite receiving the report from the scout, Klaus did not stop.
After bringing the entire left army into the canyon first, a messenger was immediately sent to induce the middle army led by Yulia to come in as well.
Thanks to this, the commanders belonging to the left army all looked puzzled.
Only Kayla, who had been moved to Klaus’s side by Julia’s order, had a calm expression on her face.
“If the enemy attacks, the left army will collapse. Bringing in the middle army already…”
“Aww, Aufen, that traitor has no intention of wasting time. He must have known that the King of Darkness was leading the middle army, so he would try to take them inside and see the match. If they hit us already, the middle army won’t come in and they’ll just leave, and that would be a pity.”
As Klaus said, Aupen’s main force and the troops led by his loyalists, who had been stationed on the slope, held their position firmly and did not think of leaving the camp.
Rather, the appearance was to the extent that it was right to say something like, ‘If you are ready, come in somewhere.’
In fact, that number is not wrong; rather, it is quite appropriate.
The demon army that entered the canyon now has no answer other than attacking.
In such a situation, it is true that the anti-demon army, which is holding out even with a wooden fence in the defensive position, has an advantage.
In addition, those who use battle magic must have more anti-demon army.
No matter where you look at it, the demon army was at a disadvantage, so it was natural for everyone to be anxious.
That’s why Klaus dared to take the vanguard.
Some people say that it is impossible for just one person to reverse the war situation.
It is also true that such words work only when the target is really a “Person.”
No matter where you look, there is no record of someone going in and making a mess and the army collapsed.
“Kaela.”
“Yes, Klaus.”
“As soon as the middle army enters, lead them to battle with Aupen’s main force. It is not a form of staring at each other, but an all-out war. Even though the training conditions are similar, we can still know that our side has a little more advantage and work on it.”
“Klaus-sama is trying to hit the right side.”
“I heard that there is a demon that Aufen trusts very much. For such expectations, you have to cut their throats and hang them on the window sill.”
“I will follow orders. As soon as the middle army comes in, we will form up and attack.”
While Kaela led her few men to meet the heavy army.
Leading his remaining men, Klaus passed Aufen and came face to face with another band of rebels perched next to him.
It was a slight slope, so the allies would be at a disadvantage, but once they lost momentum, it wouldn’t be a big obstacle after that.
“It is right in front of the enemy’s defensive positions. The closer you get, the more magic will come into range.”
Ain, a demon who followed in the form of an adjutant next to him, muttered anxiously.
If they got hit by magic and collapsed in the yard of slowly advancing in formation, that could be a shortcut to inevitable defeat.
However, Klaus told them not to worry and keep moving forward in front of the enemy formation.
A situation where they do not know when a magical bombardment made of magic will strike in front of their eyes.
Despite their fear or hesitation, the soldiers gritted their teeth and began marching forward.
Certainly, they were well-trained.
Meanwhile, Aufen’s aides also confirmed that Klaus’s left army was coming up the slope.
The allies have already fully prepared their formation and have taken enough rest.
Topography: To think that they were even attacking a field they had an advantage over, I wondered if the human standing in the forefront was really that Klaus.
“It starts with magic bombing. Command the wizards Charge up your mana immediately and attack at once. After that, we will form and confront each other.”
One of the most outstanding people in Aufen’s entourage.
Especially in the battle part, Lirio, a demon that Aufen trusted and relied on, gave the order.
Right after that, the wizards under his command began to emit blue light in various places while using their magical powers.
Wooooo!! Ugh!-
In case the enemies might launch magic bombing first, I checked my magic power in advance, but fortunately I didn’t feel that way.
As for the Demon King Faction, whose funds were blocked a long time ago, it was great that they gave most of them to their allies for the magic that eats up the most money.
‘It’s definitely an advantage that the enemies can’t use a lot of magic. However, since the battlefield is so unstable, wizards and magic can only be used once or twice. In the end, all that remains is a battle between army and military, but the opponent is Klaus, that person.’
Lirio also had a history of being defeated in the south during the Continental War.
I could literally say it was the worst defeat I could barely get myself out of.
Even though I thought that I could avenge that defeat today, my anxiety grew strangely again.
“Lilio. The magic attack preparations are almost complete. We can attack after a while.”
“Concentrate your magic attacks on the side. So that the enemies are driven more to the center. Taking up space and driving enemies into the center creates a very good environment for our cavalry.”
Lirio had the core of the core, the cavalry, hidden behind.
The cavalry, which had to be protected from the enemy’s magic attacks that might not be there, was invisible, and then suddenly opened the formation and rushed at it, which was literally a fear to the infantry.
However, in order to create a situation in which the cavalrymen could play an active role without being seriously injured, it was necessary to disrupt the enemy formation or conversely make it densely packed without space to move.
“Great. Then, the magic attack begins immediately…”
Just as Lirio was about to issue an order.
Suddenly, their sky seemed to be filled with light for an instant, but it soon turned red.
The moment everyone looked forward, wondering what was going on, Aupen’s aides, including Lirio, had a hunch that something was wrong.
“Um, what is that…”
“Ah, aaaaa!! All right, cancel the magic! Reap the magic! Reap the magic!!”
Lirio screamed at the top of his voice, but it was no longer a meaningless empty echo.
It was right after that that dozens of magic cores were fired, aiming precisely at the location of the enemy mages.
Pupper puck!! Kwakkwakkwak!!-
In the first place, it wasn’t magic that destroyed the area, so the power wasn’t strong.
However, it could be said that it was enough to kill defenseless wizards in an instant or injure them so that they could no longer use magic.
Klaus smiled as he looked at the enemy formations, which suddenly became chaotic.
And next to him, a demon woman was just reaping her magic while sweating profusely.
“You worked hard, Cecily.”
“Haha…”
“I hoped, but I didn’t know that it would really work.”
A method similar to a kind of anti-artillery tactic exists here as well.
The only difference is that the opponents are not artillerymen who use cannons, but those who use magic.
The principle was to quickly read the coordinates of a place where the operation of magic was strong and apply magic attacks accurately to that area, but in fact, it was not used much.
First of all, your wizards who use your anti-magic tactics should be better than your opponent’s wizards.
Above all, this tactic required one wizard to detect one enemy wizard, so if the enemy’s attack was not detected, not only wasted time and human resources, but even friendly wizards could get caught up in it.
Because of this, most of the commanders still had a tendency to exchange magic bombardments with each other and see the match.
The damage wasn’t that great and the main purpose was just to break the formation, so it was just trying to decide who would upset each other’s formation first.
Looking at it, Klaus thought of people who stood in a line like a war of independence somewhere, fired once, and then fell to the next enemy attack.
“Wow, that’s great. Miss Cecily. I didn’t know he had such magical skills.”
It was a reaction that even Ain, who was in the castle, was completely unexpected.
That would be the case, too, because Cecily kept revealing her skills as secret as possible, unless Klaus told her to.
Because of this, allies and enemies had seen Cecily LeBlanc as nothing more than an immature aristocratic lady who fell for a strange temptation and stuck to the side of the demon king.
‘In reality, he’s a magic genius who succeeds in this kind of high-difficulty magic.’
Cecily is a demon who directly admits that even Yulia is one step above her in terms of magic.
In addition, due to the development of characteristics, the ability bloomed more quickly and more intensely.
Since it was like this, the enemy had no choice but to expose the location of their mages without even noticing.
It would be nice if we could just fix that guy’s pervert tendency a bit.
While Klaus thought so, he raised his hand again to signify that it was his turn.
Soon, various magics flew from the Demon King’s camp and started pounding on the sides of Lirio’s formation.
It was not a fatal blow, but it could be said that there was nothing like this that made the atmosphere very untidy and made the morale of the soldiers shaken.
“Go ahead like this. Prepare your formation well, and make sure that no soldiers run out excitedly or leave the camp.”
“All right.”
Ain stepped back and Klaus looked at Cecily, who was breathing heavily.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but the magic just now is really great.
Those who were similar in age to Cecily succeeded in doing so even though it was difficult to even use normal magic, let alone magic location tracking magic like that.
“Cecily.”
“Yes Yes. Klaus.”
“There is still work to be done, so wait in the rear after replenishing some of your mana. You are forbidden to go to the front until I give you my order. I have one more thing for you to do.”
Literally, Cecily’s work was not over yet.
Once armies and armies start fighting each other, wizards naturally have nothing to do.
Klaus mentioned that she had work left to do.
When Cecily nodded her head, Klaus smiled approvingly and looked straight ahead.
By now, most of the heavy soldiers should have been inside with Kayla’s guidance.
Judging that the time is ripe, Aufen will try to trigger another trap.
It is clear that he will try to clear all the stumbling blocks here at once.
“Move forward. Move in line.”
“Okay, Klaus.”
Klaus was impatient, wanting to quickly destroy that excitement.
How the damn devil’s face was crumpled, what kind of screams he was screaming.
It was already good in front of my eyes, and I felt like I was going to go crazy with joy.
