-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The video conference fell silent for a moment.
Ludwig Jeron, the 7th-grade representative and student council president, was the first to speak.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster. Head of the Department of Magic. Head of the Department of Swordsmanship."
What are you talking about?
"The 7th graders will go out to defend the eastern wall with the 3rd graders led by Davian."
"I've lived in Elton City for seven years since entering the Academy. As Davian said, I've built relationships with many citizens. We can't just hide in the Academy and watch the citizens die."
Davian nodded.
'That's it.'
The 3rd and 7th graders declared that they would go outside the Academy to fight the demons and protect the citizens.
"Well, I have to contact some other people, so I'll end the meeting here."
Davian stopped channeling mana into the face-showing tablet.
It was an invention that allowed either mana or internal energy to be pushed in for it to work so that swordsmen could also use it.
'There's no need to make the video conference any longer. It will only lead to differing opinions.'
Currently, the 3rd and 7th graders, who are the most important in the Academy, have decided to fight the demons outside the Academy.
If they don't want these students to die, all the Academy professors will have to come out of the Academy as well.
Then, naturally, students from other grades will also come out.
'Rather than having the troops scattered and the Academy completely surrounded, I'd rather choose all-out war.'
This was Davian's way to break through the demon wave in this iteration.
There's another reason why he chose all-out war instead of hiding in the Academy and locking the doors.
Davian, who had put away the face-showing tablet, took out another magical tool.
The huge weapon brought by the demons emitted a dark aura.
It was a weapon that gathered the mana of 13 high-level demons and fired it at once.
It looked like a human siege weapon, but it was actually equipment for dealing with giant demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.
KWAANG!
The long time it took to reload due to gathering mana was a flaw, but the effect was perfect.
Every time it hit, a section of the fortress wall collapsed like a toppled stone wall.
Through the collapsed fortress wall, demons poured in.
Helpless.
Most of the city guards of Elton City had rushed to the eastern wall.
But it was woefully inadequate to stop the onrushing demons.
A desperate situation.
At that moment.
WHOOSH.
A fiery fireball flew over the heads of the desperate city guards.
The fireball, which flew in from behind, fell into the middle of the onrushing demons.
KWAANG!
A tremendous explosion.
It was Davian Naone's 10-star fireball.
"Huh?"
Overlord Obillio, who was at the rear of the demon camp, rose from his chair.
"There are some formidable humans after all."
Following Obillio's gaze, a fiery flame could be seen burning far away.
A fairly strong aura.
It was the flame Davian had created.
SLURP.
Overlord Obillio stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips.
"It won't be boring. This will be fun."
"What is all this..."
Liber, who had arrived on the scene, clicked his tongue.
The fortress wall had already collapsed in several places.
Demons that had entered the city were wielding large weapons or emitting black mana, slaughtering the city guards.
There were already hundreds of demons that had entered the city.
And the demons that could be seen beyond the collapsed fortress wall...
"There's no end in sight! How many have invaded? What's going on?"
Bonita untied the hair tie she had around her wrist and roughly tied her red hair back.
"Let's go, Eden."
She rushed to the nearest city guard in an instant.
WHOOSH!
She split a demon, three times her size, in half with a single slash.
WHOOSH!
Latia, who had been quietly gathering mana, also shot a huge pillar of fire.
"Davian!"
Student Council President Ludwig Jeron joined them.
After him, about 80 7th graders arrived together.
160 3rd graders and 80 7th graders.
Students in neat uniforms jumped into the battle line between the city guards and the demons.
Students from the Department of Swordsmanship and the Department of Martial Arts were at the front.
Students from the Department of Magic and the Department of Archery were at the rear.
They began to fight the onrushing demons.
The battle line, which had been helplessly pushed back, regained its balance for a moment.
KWAANG!
The demon's weapon destroyed another part of the fortress wall.
Demons poured in through the collapsed fortress wall.
"Nubes! Be careful!"
Bellum shouted in surprise.
Powerful mana poured into Nubes, who had just blown off the head of a demon.
As Nubes hurriedly tried to raise his shield to block it.
WHOOSH!
A sharp sword cut the mana in half in mid-air.
"Professor!"
Stella Cloud tapped Nubes on the shoulder.
"I told you that if you hold the shield straight on, the impact will be transmitted directly to your wrist."
She grabbed Nubes's shield with her hand and tilted it slightly to the side.
"Always block like this. Got it?"
"Yes! Professor."
Cheers erupted from various places in the 3rd grade camp.
"Professor Stella is here!"
"Wow! The professors are coming!"
Stella Cloud turned her head.
"Oh my... so many have invaded."
KWAGWAGWAGWA!
A tremendous shockwave poured into the demons that were pushing through the newly opened fortress wall.
It was Headmaster Hugo Molton's mana sword.
"Headmaster!"
"The Headmaster is here!"
WHOOSH! SWOOSH!
A sharp wind pierced through the gap between the Academy students and the city guards, and then cut off the limbs of the demons.
It was the precise wind element magic of Shirims Andrian, Head of the Department of Magic.
Someone approached Davian, who was frantically cutting down demons with his ice sword.
"Head of the Department of Swordsmanship?"
"You troublemaker. You really brought all the 3rd graders out. I told you to stay inside the Academy."
"If we had..."
WHOOSH!
Leo Martiang lightly cut down an approaching demon.
"That's enough. It's already happened. Let's stop them here. You're not wrong to say we have to protect the citizens. But where did all these demons suddenly come from? The other professors are all coming this way too."
That wasn't exactly why he suggested this to protect the citizens.
But anyway, Davian's strategy worked.
At the very back of the demon camp.
"Why is it taking so long to completely breach even one fortress wall of a human city?"
Overlord Obillio shook his head with a displeased expression.
He raised his long finger and pointed to two demons lined up in front of him.
"Tribera, Cortes."
"Yes! Overlord."
"Join the front lines directly."
"Yes!"
The two demons pointed out by Obillio disappeared, tearing through space.
These were the two platoon leaders, each leading a thousand demons.
Demons cannot change their legions once they have been assigned.
Therefore, even if they become stronger than the legion commander of another legion, they can only perform the role of a platoon leader here.
The stronger a demon becomes, the longer its lifespan.
Legion Commander Obillio will undoubtedly live much longer than the two platoon leaders who just disappeared.
The same goes for the six squad leaders below him.
So, there is a very high probability that these two will end their lives as platoon leaders.
Of course, that's a matter for the distant future.
However, no demons are dissatisfied with this system.
It is also a characteristic of demons to obey a stronger opponent, according to their tendency to be drawn to strength.
A long battle line was formed near the eastern fortress wall of Elton City.
Along with the city guards, more than 2,000 people, including all the professors and all the students of the Academy, were somehow preventing the demons from pushing into the city.
An emergency evacuation order was issued for the citizens, but if so many demons pushed in, there was nowhere to evacuate.
"We have to stop them here!"
The bodies of numerous humans and demons piled up on the ground.
Bellus and Hannah Oliver were particularly active at the point where the first graders were gathered.
The highest-ranking water spirit, Undine, stood next to Bellus.
In addition, many spirits came out and guarded Bellus's side.
Every time Undine waved her arm, the demons that came close were swept away by a wave-like current and pushed back.
Many spirits unleashed various attacks on the demons who were swept away by the current and couldn't come to their senses.
On the other hand, Hannah Oliver, who had Mind's Eye, was constantly firing wide-area magic.
In such a complex battlefield, a magician's wide-area magic usually aims far back.
This is because allies can be harmed.
But Hannah Oliver's wide-area magic with Mind's Eye was different.
Although it was a wide-area magic, each attack seemed to have eyes and accurately pierced only the demons.
If she grows a little more, she has the talent to become an offensive magician who can produce the best efficiency in such a chaotic battle.
At that time.
Space opened in the air and two demons appeared.
They were floating in the air without wings on their backs, looking down.
Davian, who sensed an unusual energy, raised his head.
So did Headmaster Hugo Molton.
Davian and Hugo Molton, who jumped into the air at the same time, briefly met eyes before wielding their respective swords.
KWAGWAGWAGWA!
The mana swords of Davian Naone, the strongest student in history, and Hugo Molton, the headmaster of Elton Academy, were fired at the same time.
Demon Platoon Leaders Tribera and Cortes each watched the mana sword being fired at them.
They hurriedly emitted mana to protect their respective bodies.
KWAANG! BANG!
The mana sword and the mana of the two platoon leaders collided.
At the same time.
The pupils of the two platoon leaders grew round.
THUD!
The mana of the two platoon leaders was woefully weak to withstand the mana sword of Davian Naone and Hugo Molton.
Legion Commander Obillio tilted his head.
"I made a mistake in my thinking."
Platoon Leaders Tribera and Cortes.
They were the guys who could be said to be in the upper ranks among the platoon leaders.
He thought that these two would clean up the situation ahead to some extent and return.
They died as soon as they were sent.
The deaths of the two platoon leaders were vividly conveyed through Obillio's horns.
"This, this... I looked down on humans too much."
Obillio was inwardly surprised to see the humans who were still not being pushed back.
But.
"Nothing will change."
There are still tens of thousands of demons rushing in with increasing excitement.
There are 6 squad leaders and 58 platoon leaders remaining.
"Where can you continue to struggle? The more you do, the more terrible hell you will experience."
Obillio rose from the Legion Commander's chair.
"The six squad leaders, listen."
The six squad leaders who had been facing the front immediately turned around and bowed to Obillio.
"Immediately order the platoon leaders to surround the city more widely and attack it."
"Yes!"
"Also, from now on, have all platoon leaders fight by directly commanding their units on the front lines."
"Yes!"
Obillio, who had given new orders to the six squad leaders, sat down in his chair.
"This place was called Elton City, wasn't it? I'll completely surround it and destroy it completely."
WHOOSH!
"Damn it."
Bonita swung her sword at the demon that appeared, tearing through the space right in front of her.
But Bonita's sword only cut through the air.
The demon opened the space again and disappeared.
"Suddenly there are a lot of cunning guys!"
Davian nodded.
"It seems that they have deployed a large number of platoon leaders."
"Platoon Leader?"
"Yes. A commander who leads a thousand demons. If they are at that level, they can open space and move around freely."
"They are annoying guys. I can't cut them down because they keep disappearing even though they're nothing special."
