Kuaaaaa.
South of the defense line.
The Chief's demonic energy crushed the city guards in their armor.
"Block them!"
"They're breaking through!"
Taking advantage of the gap, the demons swarmed in.
The southern defense line was on the verge of collapse.
"I think I should go over there for a moment!"
Stella Cloud shouted.
Thud.
Davian grabbed Professor Stella Cloud's arm.
"What?"
"Let's leave that for now and go catch the corps commander."
"Davian, if they break through there, it's right into the city center!"
Davian nodded.
"I know, Professor Stella. But after this much time, all the ordinary citizens should have evacuated to the west, right?"
"But passing through the city center leads directly to the west of the city!"
"I didn't want to do this if I could help it, but the situation isn't good, is it? Just leave it be. It could be advantageous for us."
"Advantageous for us?"
"Yes."
A confident expression.
Stella tilted her head once and then made up her mind.
"He must have something in mind, right?"
"Yes. The moment they break through there and enter the city center, the demons will be crossing a point of no return."
"What on earth does that mean?"
"There's something like that."
President Hugo Molton also made up his mind.
"Let's quickly catch the corps commander and end the war. Things will only get more unfavorable if we continue like this."
Leo Martiang, the head of the swordsmanship department, nodded.
"It seems that's the only way right now."
Sirims Andrian, the head of the magic department, chimed in.
"We're the only ones in this city who can do it, aren't we?"
The president, the head of the swordsmanship department, the head of the magic department, and.
Professor Stella Cloud, a rising star who is solidifying her reputation as the next greatest swordsman on the continent.
And on top of that.
Davian Naone, the possessor of the continent's greatest magical power, who it's hard to tell to back down as a student.
Three swordsmen, one mage, and one hybrid.
A temporary party of five was formed.
They were already influential figures within the Alcancia Kingdom, but by partnering with Davian, they also received the 'Leader's Dignity' buff.
President Hugo Molton opened his mouth.
"The head of the swordsmanship department and I will take the lead. Professor Stella, please protect Professor Sirims and Davian..."
Hugo Molton hesitated for a moment when he said to protect Davian.
'Who on earth is going to protect Davian?'
He is not only the mage with the strongest magical power on the continent, but also an excellent swordsman.
Professor Stella Cloud smiled and patted Davian on the back.
"Mage Davian, don't be a burden and follow well. I'll protect you."
"Ah, yes. I will."
Sirims Andrian, who was riding on a horse, stroked the horse's mane.
"It's going to be dangerous. But let's go together."
The horse nodded as if it understood Sirims Andrian's words.
It was a prized horse bestowed by the royal family, and it had been well-trained to increase the head of the magic department's mobility in case of emergency.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
"Giddy up!"
The five people charged towards the demon horde.
Kwaaaa!
They unleashed mana swords, and.
Chwaak!
They cut down the approaching demons with swords imbued with dark aura, and.
Hwareuk! Kwahang!
They flew massive fire elemental magic, breaking through the demons.
Their destination was the rear center.
The direction where the corps commander would be.
Demons can sense each other through the horns on their heads.
Although not visible to the eye, Corps Commander Obilio could tell.
A group of humans is breaking through towards this way.
Slaughtering countless demons.
"Foolish ones. Digging your own graves."
If they thought of pushing through to this point, they must be quite confident in their abilities.
That means.
"If we eliminate those guys, this city will be finished. Centurions, listen up."
"Yes!"
"There are humans pushing through to this place. Go together and deal with them."
"Yes!"
Six centurions opened space and disappeared.
"Impatient humans. Even if you had stayed there, we would have killed you all."
Slurp.
Corps Commander Obilio, who licked his lips with his long tongue, looked up at the sky.
"Let's finish this city before the sun completely sets."
At that moment.
One of the chiefs who had gone north opened space and appeared.
"Corps Commander!"
"What's wrong?"
"A human army is charging down from the north! They're about to clash!"
"Human army?"
"Yes."
"How many?"
"More than 2,000!"
Corps Commander Obilio tilted his head.
Where did a human army suddenly appear from?
Waver.
Another chief opened space and appeared.
"Humans have invaded the south!"
"Humans have invaded?"
"Yes!"
Corps Commander Obilio's brow furrowed.
"It's a response as if they knew we were coming in advance."
A long time ago.
The memory of the Penrose Continent Corps Great War came to mind.
He certainly thought he had made the first move.
But the opponent knew in advance and was waiting with a trap.
The only experience of overcoming a near-death situation.
Of course, the opponent now is not a corps with equal strength, but only insignificant humans.
But he couldn't stop an uncomfortable feeling from growing in a corner of his heart.
Kwaang!
A huge warhammer swung while riding a horse blew away a demon's head.
North of the demon camp.
"The 5th Royal Guard! Sweep away all these dirty demons!"
Marquis Espin Ellaina, who brought all of the 5th Royal Guard, shouted.
Behind her, the Royal Guards, shining in golden armor, were charging down on horseback in a assault formation.
Woo woong.
Dozens of demons floated into the sky.
In the moment of panic at the sudden event.
Ssaeek! Ssaek!
A sharp wind split the space and mercilessly butchered the demons floating in the air.
South of the demon camp.
It was Duke Iven Meridiem, the head of the Meridiem Ducal House, the first ducal family of the Pax Continent and an old magic family, who demonstrated this tremendous magic.
"You are truly amazing."
The person next to Duke Iven Meridiem, unable to hide his admiration, was.
Count Thomas Arond, the head of the Arond County, which leads an old traditional count family in the northeastern part of the continent.
Duke Iven Meridiem replied with a gentle smile.
"You flatter me."
Thud, thud.
Rather than flattery.
The demon's corpse, completely torn to shreds like a rag, finally fell to the ground.
In front of Duke Iven Meridiem, the Arond County's private soldiers were firmly guarding with shields and swords.
Behind him, all of the Meridiem Ducal House's prominent combat mages had been mobilized.
Tens of thousands of demons were swarming before his eyes, but Duke Iven Meridiem's voice was extremely calm.
"Let's push through."
"Yes, Your Grace."
Count Arond raised his right hand high and stretched it forward.
Nearly a thousand count private soldiers slowly advanced forward.
Following behind them, the mages of the Meridiem Ducal House began to walk.
At the same time.
Hwareureuk.
Hwareuk.
Hwiing, hwiing.
All sorts of area magic began to be prepared on the hands of hundreds of mages from the orthodox magic family.
Hwiing.
Wind elemental magic also began to increase its power on the back of Duke Iven Meridiem's hand.
2 hours ago.
Flatlands west of Elton City.
A pure white light was emitted from a huge grain warehouse.
It used to be used as a grain warehouse in the past, but now it is a completely empty building.
Squeak.
The large door of the grain warehouse opened.
The first one to come out was Duke Iven Meridiem, the head of the Meridiem Ducal House.
Behind him, Count Thomas Arond, the head of the Arond County, walked out.
"Is it today? The day Davian mentioned."
Count Thomas Arond bowed deeply.
"It is an honor to be able to fight alongside the magic family, the Meridiem Ducal House."
"I am grateful for your help. Mages alone cannot conduct a proper battle."
"Then let's go, Your Grace."
"Yes. Let's go."
Duke Iven Meridiem and Count Thomas Arond began to walk side by side.
Behind them, the people of the two families came out in droves.
The Meridiem Ducal House side were all mages wearing robes with the Meridiem family crest, and the Arond County side, coming out in a line next to them, were all swordsmen wearing heavy armor.
Woong.
At the same time.
Somewhere in the Alsace Forest located north of Elton City.
There is a wide space artificially created by cutting down trees.
Flat stones are widely laid on the floor.
It is so wide that thousands of troops can hold a parade and still have room to spare.
Several huge warp magic circles are engraved on the flat stone floor.
Woong.
Whenever the warp magic circle vibrated and emitted a white light, dozens of Royal Guards wearing gleaming armor appeared.
They were all riding horses with the same colored armor.
The appearing Royal Guards quickly moved forward, and the magic circle emitted light again.
After a long time of doing so.
The entire 5th Royal Guard of the Alcancia Kingdom was warped to the Alsace Forest.
A furious gorilla pattern was engraved in the middle of the golden armor.
Marquis Espin Ellaina, the commander of the 5th Royal Guard, raised her fist high and shouted.
"5th Royal Guard! Let's go! Let's go beat up those demon bastards!"
Dudududu.
More than 2,000 Royal Guards began to dash south, kicking up dust.
The shock created by the numerous horse hooves overlapped, causing the ground to shake.
The vibration created by the 5th Royal Guard reached the forest mansion where Ignis lived.
Ignis, who was lying in the garden enjoying the afternoon sun, got up.
"Is it the day Davian mentioned?"
She stood up and dusted off her bright red dress.
When she snapped her fingers, the red carpet laid on the grass automatically folded and was placed to one side.
Ignis stretched her back once and smiled.
A dazzling smile that no man in the world could resist at first sight.
"That sounds fun. I should go watch."
Kwaang!
Chief Velieff sent out demonic energy and blew up the entire outer wall of a building.
Having broken through the southern defense line and entered the city center, only empty buildings welcomed Chief Velieff, as if all the humans had already run away.
"It's no fun this way."
He looked back.
Far away, the battle was still raging.
"Humans. More persistent than I thought."
Some of the subordinates who had gone out searching returned.
"There's nothing here either."
"There's nothing here either."
Chief Velieff's eyebrows moved strangely.
"It's no fun this way."
The first taste of human blood was enough to excite Chief Velieff to the extreme.
Some demons of chief rank or higher were said to have been to the human realm, but it was Velieff's first time.
'Should I just go back to where the human defense line is?'
Having broken through the southern defense line, he excitedly jumped into the center of the human city.
But not even a glimpse of humans.
"It seems they've all run away. Let's go back to where the battle is taking place. That'll be more fun."
Sniff, sniff.
The demon Suishide, who has an exceptionally good sense of smell, pointed west.
"The humans, I mean. They haven't completely escaped this city yet."
Chief Velieff's eyebrows twitched strangely again.
"Really?"
"I smelled it just now as the wind direction changed. A very strong human smell, that is."
"Are they gathered in the west?"
"It seems there are quite a few humans who haven't left the city yet."
Smirk.
The corners of Chief Velieff's mouth curled up.
"If we go that way, there are plenty of humans alive and well, right?"
"Yes. There are much more than where the battle is taking place. Hundreds or thousands of times more."
"Let's go. Call all the others. Let's enjoy the party there just among our Macheon Squad."
The other demons gathered around him also smiled and answered.
"Yes, Chief."
"Yes."
"Good, let's go!"
With Chief Velieff in the lead.
His direct subordinates quickly moved west.
Sniff, sniff.
"Huh?"
"What now?"
Suishide pointed to a huge mansion.
"I smell humans from there. A very unique human smell, that is."
"Is there someone who hasn't escaped west yet?"
"It seems so."
"Since you smelled it, go take care of it, Suishide."
"Thank you, Chief."
Suishide flew off as it was.
Kwaang!
He broke through the wall of the mansion with his torso.
Sniff, sniff.
"Hehehe. It's that way."
In the moment Suishide was about to fly into the building.
The front door of the building opened and a handsome human man walked out.
A man with striking long, black hair.
"Who is it? Who dared to break the wall of my house."
