Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta
General E. Ludre of the Phallus
Look at the city of Aresta from afar.
It's a pretty big city. It didn't extend to the first city in Arsenum I dropped, but it was bigger than Ivaris.
A human army surrounds the city.
Quite a few. I initially heard of 5,000, but maybe more than that.
"Besides, you seem like a pretty strong army."
Lilith, a deputy secretary, points out.
"- Oh," I reply.
The strength of that legion can also be seen from the neat surrounding of the city of Aresta.
Everyone was forming a beautiful line and attacking the castle uninterrupted with uninterrupted motion.
We also have stone throwers (catapults), sieges, castle hammers, and all kinds of siege weapons.
"That's a classic human castle attack. They don't have a lot of powerful magicians, so they rely on their smart hands."
I don't know about that.
And I speak so that she doesn't hear me.
The fact that we have all those siege weapons means that the enemy generals have prepared them in advance.
According to the story of the Demon King, the city of Aresta also fell into the hands of the 7th Regiment almost irresistibly.
Let the city drop deliberately, cut off food, surround it even more immediately, cut off the supply route, and prepare for the castle attack perfectly.
"It's not something any general can do."
In fact, the Seventh Regiment, one of the most powerful in the Demon King's Army, has been taken by hand.
Perhaps we should fear the power of the enemy general more than the difference in power here.
I thought so and cautioned my men.
Lilith said yes.
Sigan says "I know."
Giron said, "I understand."
And you followed orders, but do they understand?
I was particularly worried about Lilith.
That's what I think. I leak my sigh, but the Demon King, who lined up the horses and observed the armies of the humans together, seems to have come to the same conclusion as me.
"You're a boulder. I didn't expect to see the excellence of an enemy general at a glance."
"Does the Demon King still think so?"
"After years of running around the battlefield, I can grasp the strength of the enemy general just by looking at the placement of the troops. I wonder what the enemy's name was."
"According to Giron's report, the enemy general is a man named E. Ludre,"
"Well, that's a name I've never heard of."
"He says it's a man known as the famous general of the Phallus kingdom in the West."
"I see there are as many men in the world as there are called famous generals. There may also be good men like you lurking in the enemy army. I can't believe this."
"Right. We need to hang tight."
In fact, the command of a man named E. Ludre was brilliant.
It's a slow castle attack, but steadily, surely, it's hunting down the 7th legion.
Sephiro and the others fight back using a fixed large bow (barista) placed on the wall, but it is also immediately destroyed by a catapult.
A guy named Catapult looks simple and hard to hit where he's after.
Because I have knowledge of mathematics.
I guess they have competent technicians for the rest of the time.
Sephiro, on the other hand, is himself in the front line, gathering magicians and magically intercepting them, but it also appeared to be an empty resistance in front of the large number of enemy forces.
You'll lose like this, that was the candid feeling.
The Demon King seems to agree.
After mouthing the same considerations, she goes on like this.
"We've come this far. I'm not saying you can turn back now. How is Uzu going to defeat that great army?
"There are measures. For once."
"Can you let me hear it?
"Let me keep that a secret."
"Well, don't tell anyone else who's the general of the Demon King's Army."
The Demon King tells me to be a little obstinate.
"No, I'm just not sure. It would be embarrassing to lose by talking about tactics."
And -, and go on.
"The Demon King came to watch my extraction, didn't he? If I told you everything, it wouldn't be fun to watch."
When I say that, she laughs "... fu".
"You're absolutely right. Let me watch the rest of the battle here."
When the Demon King said so, he urged me to come forward.
I don't even have to be urged by her.
I give instructions to my men.
"Immortal brigades, we will now storm the enemy"
Demons of the Immortal Brigade, the newly joined humans and dwarves,
"Oh!"
And scream.
The demon king who hears the words exalts his thoughts.
"You're all very wary."
"Thank you."
I guess the Devil's men will trust me with their achievements so far.
Maybe the humans and the Dwarves are trying to give me back my benevolence and friendship.
Anyway, my duty is to do as little damage as possible to my allies, defeat the enemy forces, and rescue the Sephirot and the others.
That's what I had to do now.
I looked to the enemy when I completely cut off my consciousness from the Demon King.
Looking down the great army from the hills was quite spectacular.
