Chapter 8-15. Briefings and Reinforcements

In the throne room, Dacia asked for a status report.

As usual, Yaqi hugged Dacia and nuzzled her face, but Igal got down on one knee and hung his head.

After that, he explained the situation he had just seen.

“Yes. There were two reincarnator in the Bamil territory. It seems that more Oni have joined the force, so it will be difficult to march with only the altered Orcs, which was our original plan.”

“With or without the Oni, we need to change our strategy just because of the presence of the reincarnators. …… How about the people in the area?　Were they reduced a little?”

“No, they haven’t moved at all. It seems they are willing to fight back. ……”

“What a pain. ……”

Shee scratches hes head and looks troubled.

It would be easier if some of the resident moved out, and furthermore, more reinforcements are coming there, this is going to be harder to clearing them up.

To Dacia, combat was something she wanted to avoid as much as possible.

She do not want to reduce her forces now.

There are still other devils in the shadows in other countries, getting ready for the next raid.

This time, the location of the raid was rapidly added, so there was no way to do any preliminary preparations and they had to take a hard-line approach like this.

The objective this time is to quickly destroy the Bamil territory.

Nevertheless, with two reincarnators and reinforcements from the Oni, the attack was going to be extremely difficult.

Hiwa’s reincarnation, Ouren, is powerful and has a variety of wide-range attacks.

Amahana’s reincarnation, Hougen, is very troublesome with his powerful flame magic and immortal power, and as for the flames, the moment they catch on fire, their defeat is assured.

Even Dacia, who was the only one with the skills to fight it, did not want to fight him.

“However, Yaqi said she could use her friends to help us.”

“…… is that true?”

“yES! uSeFuL, tHEy’L BE!”

“…… and as for you. the one in the back.”

Yaqi’s eyes darken and she turns away from Dacia.

“The more we kill, the more likely they are to die. But it’s okay to kill them, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Even the reincarnators?”

“…… yeah.”

Whatever the case may be, it is impossible to make them retreat unless we are willing to kill them.

It happened last time.

At first, they didn’t even know that the reincarnator was in the Kingdom of Salettana, and they just tried to kill him, but he killed almost all of their troops.

If they didn’t take the battle seriously, they would lose.

This is a battle they cannot lose.

“Dacia-sama. What happens if we fail?”

“We will move on to the next location. But we want to succeed if possible. We need as many …… as we can get.”

You’re right…nay-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee …… ady?”

After returning to her front persona, Yaqi is looking around again with a scowling face.

This is something they are used to by now.

“Yaqi. How strong is your force?”

“Uh? sHorrE, yoU MeAN?”

“Who is ready to fight?”

“all OF ThEM, IMpoSSIblE. BuT, A TeN tHOUsANd, rEAdy!”

“Ten thousand. That’s enough.”

Air power consists of 10,000 Yaqi troops.

On the ground, the ground forces are a mish-mash of 500 altered orcs.

And with the skills of Yaki’s inner personality, a territory of that size could easily be sunk.

No matter how much force was prepared, no matter how well equipped, it would be a ruthless attack that wouldn’t make any difference.

With the ground forces already on standby, all that remained was to give the order to go out.

Yaqi’s troops, 10,000 unit, will be asked to gather once at this castle, and Dacia will send them out directly at the gate.

With these thoughts in her head, Dacia turns her attention to the demon king, who has been sitting on his throne for an unknown period of time.

He was wearing large clothes for his thin body, and it looked as if he was being made to wear them rather than wearing them.

Her coat is made of some kind of monster fur, and the black and red base color of her clothes seems to give off a slightly strange atmosphere.

Long gloves and long boots.

In addition, the tight-fitting clothes on the thin body gave the impression of a noble person, but at the same time, it somehow conveyed a sense of roughness.

Dacia asked the red-horned and red-winged demoness for a reply.

“How do you like it, Mana-sama?”

“…… do you think we’ll be bad anywhere we go now?”

“It is inevitable. It’s an …… invasion from their point of view.”

“That’so ……”

Mana, the demon king, completely lost her ruggedness after that and shunned like a young girl.

Seen in this way, they are no different from ordinary humans.

Demons are just a race of people who have slightly more magical power than humans and possess strange and powerful skills.

It’s just a matter of changing the perspective.

“Then, please take care for me.”

“Yes. Yaqi, send Kerake’s army this way right now. Igal, you go with the Kerake to the battlefield. I’ll bring Iuvola with me.”

“Right away!”

“YEeey! mANa-sAMa! SeE yA!

“Yes. See you later.”

Igal quickly sprang into action, and Yaqi waved to Mana before opening the window and flying away.

Yaqi’s childlike personality is the only thing that seems to be soothing to the devils right now.

If she didn’t have a hidden personality, she would be even more endearing, but that’s not likely to be the case.

Yaqi is a devil born just a hundred years ago.

It was only natural for the older devils to adore their children.

“Mana, are you sure this is what you want?”

“This is the only way. The reincarnator should be over there by now, ready to enggage. I’d like to send the other devil over to assist them, but I can’t just stop what they currently do and pull them out, considering what’s going to happen.”

“You are right. ……”

Leaving that Bamil territory in the hands of a child is worrisome.

But right now, this is the only thing they can do.

They could only hope that they could somehow return safely.
