Sword of the Philosopher

Get information from the demon who observes the battlefield in the south, even during the journey. It was the human side that maintained equilibrium, but eventually changes will come to it as well.

Is the great difference between demons and humans still fatigue? Limits will eventually come even if you strengthen your magic and maintain your health. Besides, if you tell me you need to maintain your abilities within a battlefield that shrinks your nerves, you can't fight prolonged no matter how many trained knights and soldiers you are.

One demon uses the magic that he can hold and strikes everywhere. Perhaps only the demons who carry out the command are given the order to attack. If the magic runs out, it will naturally disappear, but it is an unusual word to attack until it is annihilated.

There is such a decisive difference between humans and demons that the Demons are able to create demons on the battlefield... naturally, the Demon King's Army would be in their favor if it were a long-term battle.

Nevertheless, the situation is not such that the front will soon collapse even if formation becomes unfavourable. We won't be talking about being attacked by the main force because there are still armies to refrain from backwards.

"- After all, things are different now."

When I passed on the information I received from the user demon to Richard, those words returned.

"It wasn't such a long time to antagonize... given the fact that we're holding back the power behind us, it's likely to be a winning opportunity"

"Right. Good for you. If the front breaks down by the time I get there, there's a chance I won't be able to follow through."

You definitely seem to be fighting a good fight...... make it more difficult in the game. There wasn't that much to lose. I lost the game once, too. But they can't do that if it's an actual war.

"Nevertheless, it is still the Demon King's Army that is advantageous in the present situation"

Richard determines.

"Among the coalition forces currently fighting in the south, there will probably be no trick to turn the battlefield upside down. The longer the battle, the more favorable are the tireless demons, but there's not enough power on the human side to bring them to a short-term showdown."

"Troops are better than demons in the first place..."

"Right. But, well, I don't think you need to be pessimistic."

Richard smiles. If you take it from him, who has been through a desperate battle in the south, you think the current state of war has enough chances to win. Even for me, I found his words persuasive.

"... If the human side triumphs in a situation where we don't intervene, what are the possibilities?

I'll ask the questions somehow. After a thought, Richard expressed his views.

"I guess we'll use what's on the human side, not in the Demon King's Army"

"What's that?

"Morale. Apart from the lack of fatigue, the strength of the Demon King's Army is in that its leadership does not brace and its morale does not drop at all even if the battlefield is to its disadvantage. But there's a pit here."

"Instead of going down, you're talking about not going up."

"Correct."

Richard nodded deeply.

"I think it's here if there's a winning chance on the human side... but I can't tell what to do to boost morale."

... for example, could King Canaan get excited and think of such a possibility? It is also true that it would be difficult without those hands to start pushing the Demons back from the status quo, as Richard put it.

"I don't think it would be a problem if Mr. Luon were here."

"... I think so."

There was even more change on the battlefield when I responded that way to his comment. Troops led by Canaan are on the front line. I started intercepting demons all at once. The number of demons decreases as you look at them.

"A form of reducing the number at once and going for the Demons"

If the demons who produce demons and exercise more command are destroyed, the battlefield will lean at once. Nevertheless, it seems that the Demons are also afraid, choosing to retreat lightly before Canaan arrives.

Meanwhile, the demons begin to retreat. Apparently, this brings the fight to an end today.

"Things get worse every day though..."

It's true that there's plenty of room, but at dawn overnight, the regrouped demons are attacking us. Until today, the knights were also able to fight. But I don't know what will happen tomorrow.

"... I have one question"

Richard started talking here.

"Is what Mr. Luon was fighting telling the Devil's side?

"I'm sure of that."

I knew the Demon King.

"So you also know that you're headed to the battlefield this way?

"... I don't know if I can figure out where I am, but I think we're going with the premise that we're on our way -"

If that's the case, it could be a tough measure after tomorrow - that's what Richard must have wanted to say.

"... Mr. Richard. At a distance, if we run through the night, we can get there by about noon tomorrow, right?

"I thought you'd say. Is Mr. Leon all right?

"No problem. What about you?"

"I am in possession of medicines that maintain my strength. I'll be fine for two or three days."

Then - Richard and I hurried to the battlefield without uttering any more words.

It was even progressing during the night, but we take a break once and use Sophia and the user demons to make contact. Sophia opened her mouth after even reporting that she had driven back the Demon King.

"... that all that remains is our battlefield."

"Oh. I think we can arrive at noon tomorrow. Until then..."

'Whatever the situation, I'll make sure you can handle it. And I'll report it to Canaan from me.'

… to any situation. It would mean fighting on the assumption that you don't rely on me. There's a chance I won't be able to get to the southern battlefield, like a new demon attack.

My presence is known to the devil clan. How will I get out after tomorrow......

"Sophia, be careful."

"Yes. And Master Luon."

Finish contact and resume moving.

Eventually - when we had the morning, the Demon King's Army finally moved out.

Through the demon of use, I hear the roar of the demons. That was different from the day before, as if he had a strong will to settle today.

Apparently, the Demons are going to take them down by the end of the day. But there's still room on the human side. Even if you crush it in numbers, it's hard to beat the human side at once.

When it comes to that idea, the user demon captures the appearance of further demons behind enemy forces. Backpacking...!?

"No, you're not. Could it have been produced overnight...!?"

Based on the fact that until yesterday the hordes of such demons had no shadows or shapes, my thoughts would be right. But then...

"Well, maybe you're going to be on guard about Mr. Leon and make up your mind today"

Richard brings such an opinion.

"I don't know if I'm keeping track of Mr. Luon's trends, but I would have predicted as much that he was acting using mobile magic or something. If so, we calculated when we were going to arrive and moved out today, didn't we?

... After enclosing the magic of the Demon King, I immediately began to move. If that information is being passed on to the demons of the south, it is likely that they are setting up an operation, taking into account, for example, the speed of movement.

The information from the user demon shows that the number of demons is considerable, so much so that it is necessary to respond fully as a human side... the human side must have understood the situation. If so, a corresponding movement would be made.

"Today is the day of the showdown..."

Growling, Richard nodded in tune.

Then I think we need to hurry at all - but we're still scheduled to arrive around noon. I don't know what kind of view the Devil's side is taking, but warriorly I even make them peek at the signs of trying to clean it up in the morning.

How the human side moves - and Sophia, who was left behind here, moved out. Silvi or Eina with an additional role as an escort. Plus, the look of Kuza.

Plus the troops that had refrained from seeing the adventurers, starting with Fili. Looks like we'll intercept with the whole army.

"Undisputed, it's a total battle."

Sophia and the others will also be watching... the demons capture the demons marching on. Frontline troops on the human side move out as if to respond to it.

While me and Richard were in a hurry... the battle between Sofia and the others was about to take place.
