"Ma, Master Masal!

One of the Orange Squad jumped in breathlessly, resting in one of the rooms of the building that controlled the Duke of Hiragis and received him as a quarterhouse.

"Name Name"

This is the only place in the house, but let's be careful.

"Oh, I'm a guardian. It's not. No, I'm not!

"Report calmly," Tirica said.

"Oh, yeah. Outside! There's tons of demons out there!

Hmm. That's a hassle. It is time to say that we have finally finished taking control of the capital and that the repair of the walls is on the way. Exactly so vast that there was only one capital of a country and no comparison with other towns, the number of demons and resistance were so intense that it took them about midafternoon to start marching in the morning and take full control.

"It's a hell of a number! Many large species too!

I finally swallowed the seriousness of the matter when I relaxed and lifted my hips. The Orange Squad should know exactly what we're capable of. That's this panic.

Gather quickly and fly into the sky. The quarters are the same, close to the outer walls. I guess there's a distance because it hasn't been detected yet...

"Wow."

Far away. I accidentally voiced myself when I saw the smoke and dust rising in such a wide area that it covered everything on the horizon. There were many things in the sky, and even the naked eye could see them as earth dragons and flying dragons.

"That's a bit much"

"Right. That's a little too much."

Ellie answered flatly with her liver just resting on her. The appearance of a demonic demon demon that fills everything you can see. That was what was going for the capital. There's still a lot of distance, so there's going to be time to think about what to do...

If the capital is in perfect condition, a caged castle would be fine, but the walls are blurred across the vast whole of the capital. To fix it all now, even if I had time, I'm sure the magic would bottom-up.

"Let's retreat."

It seems difficult to intercept. If you work hard, you may be able to destroy more than half of them by the time you reach the capital, but even some of them can't be protected in the non-functioning capital of the walls.

"Right. Let's get the army to the town in front of us and intercept it there."

And all that number, where the hell were you?

No... I'm sure he was there. Many demons had been discovered in reconnaissance. It was probably part of the demon you're looking at right now. And it was only natural to have demons everywhere in Hilagis. Especially in the north, where the reconnaissance revealed no further investigation into whether the demons were massive.

If we had looked more closely, we could have discovered a large group of demons and predicted the danger. But elf reconnaissance can also be found and chased around by empty demons. I couldn't send him too deep until I risked losing my elf.

We could have scouted anywhere, but it was our decision to throw out military support.

You don't have to scout. You just have to intercept. That's what I was thinking.

But is it a mistake to fulfill that idea?

"We just have to keep attacking the demons until they're gone."

I was a little frightened by the sudden numbers, but I just need to destroy them.

"Right. It's the same thing I've done with just a little more numbers."

Intercept even across town. Enough magic and power. I have nothing to fear.

"Withdrawal of everyone's things! The capital is not suitable for protection. Pull to the town ahead and intercept there. Fly orders to the army."

When I went down to the quarters and Lilia ordered the Orange Squad to preach, some of the Orange Squad immediately flew away.

"Let General Erdo know."

I'll ask one of the Orange Squad to do the same. The Erdoz army is being asked to wait in another town a little further away. You should let them know early and have them ready for the raid.

Next in the capital, he also refrained from attacking the Northern Fort. It would have been better if they had left their leeway, and the Rigoberd army had arrived first at the attack point in the capital, so they were taking a break.

"We'll make a light interception in the capital. Suitably crush the demon avant-garde and pull it back."

The walls of the capital are more of a safe part, albeit full of holes. It will be a sufficient base for us to intercept alone. The rear towns are not so big towns, they are anxious about defense, and you should keep them as low as possible.

"Oh, this is Lord Elf!

But when we arrived at the walls, troops were deploying who had not yet made a retreat.

"Dear Guardian. These people are not retreating."

"We have not received such instructions from the General. The directive we received was the recapture of the capital and the subsequent defense."

I'm sure you are. We've completely controlled the movement of all the Hilagis Repossessed Army so far, but we don't have any command whatsoever. I guess that means you can't ask that, even if you suddenly get instructions to withdraw from the elves.

"You lords know what's going on?

"If we join forces with Lord Elf, such demons..."

"Are there cages in walls like this? We retreat. If you want to fight and scatter flashy, do as you please."

"The other troops are already starting to withdraw. The only troops left are us and you."

The commander showed upset when he heard my word that the others were already retreating.

"We don't have time to ask for the general's instructions. We have a responsibility. Retreat."

With that word of Lilia, the army finally began to prepare for withdrawal.

"Hurry! The demon moves fast. You can put the supplies down and go back for them later. Now move with one body!

I yelled at the squad that started to support the flutter and the move. I'm getting worried that the retreat is really going on.

"Orange Squad, take another look around the capital. If anyone disobeys the instructions to withdraw, tell him that there was an order from the general. Just hurry it up."

Ex-post consent, but the general won't want to leave his men where we're going to retreat.

"If you need me, you can give me your name."

That's what my master tells me.

That's how we wait while discussing the demonic interception operation. Often, the Orange Squad reported that there were troops still not following the withdrawal instructions. Is it true that there were quite a few people who belittled the elves even when they got here? The captain of the earlier unit was polite in tone, but he didn't even look disrespectful.

"When the elves were about to stand over the Imperial Army, they gave instructions, and so on!

I've actually heard those words from the cadet class. Not face to face, but I like ears.

I knew I needed to buy some time.

"Right."

Nodding at Ellie's words. Plans to pull off the magic properly seem to be a situation where we have to take on all the demonic armies in the bees. Demons are faster than army travel, and it just takes a good amount of time to get through the capital from end to end.

"Then let's break up in three hands, as we talked."

In one place, the range within which firepower reaches is narrow. Distribute the wizard and hit the broad side with firepower.

"Don't force me, give me a signal to retreat as soon as you think it's dangerous"

We all retreat when we get a signal to retreat from somewhere. After that, once we meet at the royal castle in Hilagis, the rest will be dealt with on an ad hoc basis.

Ellie and the others scatter left and right with the Orange Squad. My reception is central. We have a little more time before the demon reaches us. I'm getting sleepy. Bite the yawn under a full-face helm. I should have taken it somewhere with a temporary sleep.

A large group of this demon to the outbreak of the plague. My guess was that there was still something wrong. Well, not if I'm happy about it.

"Hmm?"

Satie caught my attention thinking about it.

"Something's wrong with the demon movement."

Ask Lilia to go up to the sky to check better.

"The demon hasn't come to the capital..."

From the sky, I can see the movement even better. Demons are invading straight. The demon in our front will hit the capital as it is. But the demons of East and West are marching straight ahead.

Are we on our way to the capital at most about 30%? Some flocks move away from the capital, and obviously this capital is not the goal. All of Hiragis is spread out ahead so that the herd can scatter.

"Bad."

Not good, not good. I wasn't talking about protecting the capital. As it is, all Hilagis will be recaptured and ravaged again.

"What are you going to do!?

Nothing like this. It's a little too late to deal with it now. The enemy in front will arrive shortly.

"Intercept here as planned. Defeat as much as you can here"

And then what? Erdo Army, Rigoberdo Army bumps into each other first. Challenging a showdown on the flat is suicide, but defensive warfare doesn't make it that easy.

"Orange Squad. General Barbarossa, then skip the transmission to every other rear town. Can you do that?"

Then there is no reason to think that the demon will conveniently accompany you to the Battle of Cage Castle. All of northern Hilagis is likely to be a battlefield.

"That will pay for everything that can deliver the order..."

We can use the military's regular messenger, but we need to ensure that the messenger is delivered as quickly as possible.

"I don't mind. Replenish later from the inside. Those who go to preach will stay on the spot and act as preachers when something happens. All right?"

"Ha!"

Again, no matter how you estimate it, Rigoberd near the capital, the two armies of Erdo can't take it alone. Barbarossa's army, and all those deploying to the North, will be caught in the worst of battles.

But parts of the North and the South are not good now. The plague has subsided for once, but it is not complete, and it would not be defensive, especially in a town that was badly damaged.

"Too good a time for the plague"

Sure, it will rot fast in the summer now. It would not be uncommon for a plague to occur in the army. Nevertheless.

"Is it the devil's work?

"You won't be able to say enough without"

If we hadn't stopped the spread of the plague at this time, we wouldn't have stopped the collapse of the front either. Did you go around treating her all night?

Receive all waves of this demon in the Rigoberd and Erdo armies, as well as the Barbarossa armies. In that case, I just don't have the next bullet. As long as we destroy all of this...

"The Eastern Fort."

Is this the only place you got a wave of demons? If the eastern fort were to be plucked, the army of the north would isolate and eat the sandwiches. The whole of the South is also under threat. The Southern defense forces are not so strong, and most importantly, the plague has just subsided. There is also the possibility of flare-ups.

"Would you like to send a message to the Eastern Fort?

"Let's go see it later in the metastasis. Now concentrate on the enemy in front of you. Get down and get ready to chant."

The Eastern Fort has been enhanced with me in mind, and it only hits the demonic realm and has a lot of power. That's right, that's right. Just slap the enemy in front of you. Maybe it's just a worry.

"We'll do it too!

The right-wing Ellie's were starting to chant. Apparently, it's better that way to meet the demons first. Was the balance of the placement okay?

Me and Lilia are the wind attributes in the center, taking into account the attributes. Satti and Miriam on the avant-garde. Will on the right wing, Ellie and Charlencia. This is also the wind. On the left wing, Luciana, Tirica, Anne, Syrah. This place is united by water attributes. Of course there the Orange Squad accompanies each of them to hit the auxiliary.

"At the same time?"

"Let's alternate. Lilia, please."

It's not a situation where we can preserve magic, but we need to be efficient.

- I still couldn't defend myself in the capital. He was about to be turned from behind by a demon who entered through an empty hole around a few shots. The Saties and the Orange Squad are responding, but it will be time for the tide.

Placing troops to block the holes would have endured it for some time now, but it's a subtle matter of whether or not you had the power to place them in all places, and if even one place was breached, the capital would quickly transform into a bloody battle. Most importantly, demons from the sky are troublesome, and it seems that some ground dragons have entered the capital.

A signal of retreat was raised first from Ellie when she tried to speak of retreat. Two bright lights of magic overhead the Ellies. Later, a range lightning strike burst into the inner part of the city.

"We'll shoot one in the rear, too, then we'll back off."

Once we put out the lights, we got a similar signal from the left wing. It could have been a summons, but if it's three places, it could be one way, and if it's a simple signal, I don't have to give it this distance.

If you want to stick it, you can stick it, but it might be time for a retreating army to catch up with the demons.

As I fired one shot and flew into the sky, I could see a herd of demons going through the capital, left and right. I wish I could have deployed an offensive unit on the side, too, but that would be nasty.

"Yeah, I heard from the Orange Squad, and I'm sure you can make no mistake from the demon movement."

Ellie nodded and said she would rendezvous at the royal castle and briefly talk about the situation.

"The demon moves faster than that. Maybe the army can catch up, so let's go get some help right away."

You didn't see that one. Soon after flying into the sky to confirm, the demons on earth hadn't caught up with the minute they needed to go around the capital, but the demons from the sky were attached to the rear of the army.

And the lord of the army is about to intercept it.

"Get down in front and shoot him down with a bow. Then we'll attack the nearby demons with me and Ellie."

Ellie has a fast chant, and she's second only to me in magic.

The tail of the army we were fighting saw our backup, and he looked at us as if he had been helped. Are these the troops that refused to retreat on the walls? I wouldn't have been so critical if I had withdrawn immediately without telling you.

"Run for it if you don't want to be caught up!

The soldiers who were stopping on my feet in my voice ran out again.

The chant begins...

Beat off the vanguard of the left and right demons. The army seems to have earned quite a distance, but one more time. Now Tirica and Luciana unleashed ice magic. It's summer, so it melts quickly, but frozen ground also serves as a stepping stone.

"Let's go into town too."

If we check again from the sky, we don't see the interruption of the demon wave, and to the extent that we have been exterminated, the number of demons has decreased at all.

There will still be plenty of time to spare because there is a little distance to the town where the Erdo army is located. First of all, support for the Rigoberd army. Erdo, can you tell the army the usual way? Me, Lilia and Tirica. Plus Satie and Miriam. Charlencia wants the Wind Spirit user to be shared with Lilia, so let's go to Ellie.

How long until the demons reach the Barbarossa army in the rear? If we were to travel at night, would we reach it by tomorrow morning? About noon tomorrow at the latest.

It was an eastern fort before that. I'll leave this to Ellie to see if the Eastern Fort has been raided.

"Ellie, I'm gonna check the Eastern Fort. I'll be right back. Please stay here."

That's what I said. I'm going to the quarters I built in this town, to the transfer base, with Lilia and Miriam and Sati.

I honestly don't know what to do if they're raiding the Eastern Fort on top of this...

Please, please. May the Eastern Fort be calm and safe. I haven't prayed that seriously to God in a long time.
