The city of the sword is visible in the distance.
But something is wrong.
Raise your eyesight temporarily with white magic to check.
"Is the castle gate destroyed?"
The heavy gate, which was left open during the day, is now closed, but has a large hole in the middle.
Usually, travelers and merchants should come and go frequently, but they are not seen at all.
On the other hand, monsters wandered around the gate.
In addition to Werewolf, both oaks and minotaurs are beast-based monsters.
And it seems that those monsters are led by a tiger monster with a big battle ax-no, it may be a demonic.
It is a kind of demons called so-called beastmen.
There are various theories between the demon and the demons, but in general, beings with the same intelligence as humans and linguistic abilities are called demons.
By this definition, Werewolf and Orcs are demons, not demons.
But the humanoid tiger, bored in the front of the gate, biting the undergrowth, clearly felt intellectual.
"There may be demons"
"What's that? Really ..."
The demons, once under the control of the Demon King, were reduced to near extinction by fighting the seven heroes, and are now said to be living in remote margins.
If the demons have appeared, the resurrection of the Demon King may well be true.
Once I stopped the ship, I told the refugees the situation.
"Such !?"
"Is it true that the city of swords was dropped by the Demon King ...?"
"Where should we escape?"
I can't afford to take them upset and just leave them here, but I can't afford to leave them here.
Make a U-turn once into the nearby forest.
"We'll look inside the city. We'll have a hidden barrier so we won't have to worry about being attacked by demons."
"Wow, I understand."
"Lina asks for their escort here"
"Wait a minute. Are you going to take them?"
"Of course it is?"
There are (maybe) demons as well as demons.
Battles with intelligent opponents have much to learn.
"Take me with me."
"No, liner can't use" hiddenness "? I'm not imitating to get in from the front. Can I use Arc and Leila?"
"You can use it, Daddy!"
"Guu ..."
With a liner that could only make a squeal, I approached the wall with Ark and Leila.
Fly into the sky and onto the wall.
This can't be done by Liner either.
I could see the city from above the high wall.
"Hmm, it looks like it's in a very difficult state."
The demons were rampant with my face in the city.
Looking at the broken houses and roads, it can be said that it was after the great battle had taken place.
Some houses are still smoking, and it seems that not much time has passed.
Shouts and sword sounds can be heard from afar.
Maybe you're still fighting.
I'm going to go there, but there are monsters flying over the city.
Flying in the sky is a little more difficult.
It would be better to move on the ground.
I was familiar with the center of the battle.
Because it was once the home of the adventurer's guild, Dragon Fang, to which I belonged.
It is protected by a thick wall comparable to a small town wall, and is almost a fortress-like building.
It was now surrounded by many demons.
"Don't wasteful resistance, you stupid people! Then you'll survive for a while!"
It is the gorilla beast who makes a loud noise.
Apparently, she is now standing there and resisting.
A swordsman on the barrier was cutting down a demon trying to penetrate inside.
There is no way to listen to the words of the beast.
"Indeed, humans are terribly incomprehensible creatures. If we take our brothers hostage and we can't resist them, then we're going through apparently meaningless resistances without discipline."
The gorilla beast shrugged off his muscularly raised shoulders and approached the wall himself.
And
"Uoooooooooooooh !!!!"
With a terrible scream, she strikes her hard arm against the wall.
Zooooooooon!
The walls shattered.
"Now !?"
"It's stupid !? I guess I destroyed the barrier with my fist!"
"Monsters!"
The swordsmen guarding the barrier peel and shout.
But as soon as he regained his mind, he was slashing all at once into a gorilla beast.
"Wasteful waste!"
"" "Gap !?" "
However, when the gorilla beast swings his arm, only a few swordsmen are blown off at once.
Conversely, even if their swords are lucky, they will be hit by their armor-like muscles and will not be damaged at all.
"Is this really a human warrior !? It's too vulnerable! It's too deplorable that these creatures dominate the earth with my face! It's our demons that deserve the ruler of this world!"
"... this is the demons ..."
"Incredible strength ..."
Well, I heard that story, is that demonic?
Than I thought-
At that time, Leila was pulling the sleeves of my clothes.
"Hey, Daddy. Are those guys sloppy?-I don't think that gorilla is that strong ..."
Yeah, dad too.
