Episode 209: Saintess! (4)

“Great! Smash them to pieces! You’re doing very well!”

While the goblin phalanx was stabbing and killing the soldiers, the lamia cavalry appeared and swept through the battlefield. Then, the lizardmen, who had immediately deployed, smashed the deserters.

Not only that, but behind them, it seemed the imps’ tactics had worked wonderfully as purple flames blazed.

There was no resistance worth mentioning.

At night, moreover, while they were in a search formation, they were attacked by well-prepared monsters. It was only natural for them to be routed!

Victory before battle!

The best way to wage war is to ensure victory first! One should search for ways to win, think about how to achieve victory, and finally head to the battlefield believing in success!

That is exactly this result!

“Aaaargh!”

“Haaak…!”

“Save me! Save meee!”

If they had at least been in battle formation, they wouldn’t have been so easily defeated! But the humans were in a search formation to find the saintess!

The distance between them was wide and spread out…!

“Keraaaak!”

Thus, the humans had no choice but to run away!

If there were some kind of superhuman who could single-handedly plow through an infantry formation and stop the cavalry charge, I would have been the one to be defeated. But if such an existence really did exist, I wouldn’t have picked a fight in the first place.

“Master! We won again! Shaa!”

“It looks like our side has almost no casualties! Perfect!”

Sharan and Lumica, who were observing the battlefield, said so.

“Hehehe, it was all prepared and a surprise attack. It was only natural. Those guys probably didn’t even think they’d be fighting an army today.”

There was no need for my guard unit to step in. After all, my guard unit exists to protect me. That’s all that matters.

“Hey.”

At that moment, Reika called me.

“Reika?”

“Won’t you pursue them?”

“Do you mean the saintess? Or the deserters?”

The saintess must be nearby, so we could catch her if we searched. We even had lamias and pixies. Besides, my monster army had an excellent sense of smell.

We had to smash the soldiers first to capture the saintess. If we focused on the saintess first and the enemy soldiers formed a battle formation?

All my soldiers would have been ground down.

So, we could search for her leisurely. If the saintess, who had been running away until today, ran away a little longer, it wouldn’t mean we can’t catch her. The extermination of the enemy soldiers came first.

“Both the saintess and the soldiers.”

“We can search for the saintess after the battle. The same goes for the deserters… There’s no way we can catch and kill them all anyway. There are too many of them. We’ll catch as many as we can, but we can’t catch them all.”

“Is that okay? If they return alive, they’ll inform others about us.”

Reika frowned slightly.

I knew that.

“We can’t help that. It was bound to be revealed anyway. Even if some soldiers escape successfully, more than half of them will die again.”

If they ran away alone in this jungle, their chances of survival were low. There were many wild monsters.

“…Is that so?”

“Yes. Anyway, Reika, please prepare to treat the wounded. All troops! Kill all the humans you see and return! Dismiss the formation! Form goblin and kobold squads and mop up the remaining enemies!”

The noise continued to roar from all sides. The visibility wasn’t clear yet, but it would be quite a sight in the morning.

“Hooray! A great victory! All the humans are dead!”

“Kyaaaak!”

“We won again! Again! We are invincible!”

Over there, the pixies were flying around in the air, shouting joyfully.

“Krrk! Master! We have returned!”

“Oh! Imsoong! Did you complete your mission well?”

“Krrk! We set the fire well! No casualties!”

“Well done!”

The imps had no casualties. Well, if they set the fire and ran away, they wouldn’t get caught. They’re quick. I received a report from the hobgoblin who followed.

“Grak. Set the fire. Only killed the humans who charged at us.”

“You perfectly disrupted the rear. Well done, hobgoblin!”

“Gralak.”

Good.

I’ll gather everyone soon, check their status, treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and then start the search.

No, let’s have the dark elves clean up the battlefield. That will do.

“Nekri!”

“Ah…”

When I went to call the dark elves, they were looking at the battlefield with astonished expressions.

“Nekri?”

“Th-these humans… so easily…”

“It’s a simple matter if they encounter me. Nekri, have the dark elves gather the human corpses and supplies. Build a bonfire in the center and neatly arrange the scattered corpses and supplies around it.”

It was truly amazing.

We gained all the weapons and equipment worn by over a hundred humans, as well as other supplies.

Just thinking about arming all my soldiers with that made me shiver with excitement.

“Yes… understood. Everyone, follow me.”

When Nekri gave the order, the dark elves followed her without a word. They all looked shocked. It seems they were very shocked by how easily I handled the humans.

That shock would turn into loyalty.

“What on earth is happening! A monster army! Lea, do you know about them?”

“I don’t know either, Saintess. But this is not good. Faster. We need to get away from here.”

“I understand…!”

A monster army suddenly appeared and collided with the pursuit team. The outcome was unknown. Lea could only take the frightened Saintess and flee.

It was good that the pursuit team had stopped, but a monster army? Even Lea, the captain of the guard, had never heard of such a thing. It was not a good sign. There might be more of these mysterious monster armies nearby. No, it was highly likely.

If they were caught by such creatures, it would be as bad as being captured by the angels.

Currently, the Saintess was accused of being a witch by the angels. If captured, she would be subjected to all sorts of sham trials and humiliations before being executed. The same fate awaited her if captured by monsters.

‘If we can just get out of here… no matter what, we must seek refuge with the Count.’

There were too many dangers. To save the Saintess, that seemed to be the better option. Lea did not want to break the Saintess’s will, but as her guard knight, she could not let her die.

With that thought, she heightened her senses to the maximum, holding the Saintess’s hand as they rushed through the jungle.

“Stop.”

A sharp voice suddenly echoed.

ㅡPaaat!

Lea immediately pointed her sword in the direction of the voice.

“Saintess. Stay behind me.”

“…An enemy?”

ㅡStep, step.

Footsteps were heard.

Along with a red gleam.

“A human?”

Not a human?

For some reason, that thought crossed her mind.

The owner of the voice and the red gleam was none other than a woman. A woman with long, jet-black hair approached with a cold expression.

“Do you think you can escape? Surrender if you value your life.”

“…”

Lea said nothing. She was only weighing the timing of whether to fight or flee.

At that moment.

ㅡWhoosh!

“What!”

The female swordsman suddenly cast something similar to magic. Just as Lea decided to figure out what it was and run.

ㅡPshoo!

The female swordsman shot a mass of purple mana into the sky.

ㅡBoom!

It exploded.

“A signal…!”

The realization came too late. Lea held the Saintess’s hand and ran, but the other side leisurely pursued them, exhausted as they were.

Lea felt a sense of despair.

We sorted the wounded and cleaned up the battlefield. There were no fatalities. There were just a few who fell while rampaging excitedly or got their arms or other parts deeply stabbed by blind spears.

My Dark Sisters quickly healed the wounded, while the rest lit fires and cleaned up the battlefield.

Just as we were about to organize a search party to find the saintess and the deserters—

ㅡBoom!

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the sound of an explosion… What was this?

“Master! Over there! Something exploded!”

A pixie flying nearby immediately came to report to me.

“What was it?”

“It seemed like magic!”

“Magic? Ah! Vanessa!”

It’s Vanessa!

It must be Vanessa sending me a signal!

“Guys! Vanessa sent a signal! Gather here quickly! Pixie, guide us!”

“Okay!”

Finally, I was going to meet Vanessa again! Not only that, but we would also capture the saintess!

I immediately organized a pursuit team and ran towards the signal.

When we arrived, indeed—

ㅡClang! Clang!

Vanessa was fighting with some female knight.

“All troops! Support Vanessa! Surround the enemy!”

“Krrrrk! Surround them!”

At the command, my soldiers rushed out. The female knight looked at us in shock. Vanessa retreated towards me, keeping some distance.

“Long time no see. This should be enough to call the mission accomplished.”

With a truly proud expression, Vanessa said so. She had a face that wanted to boast about her achievements. How cute she was.

“Vanessa! It’s been a while! I’d love to savor the joy of reunion, but now is an emergency, so let’s do it later! The enemies?”

“The saintess and a guard knight. Just the two of them. Both are very exhausted. We can capture them easily.”

I immediately checked them out.

“Damn…!”

They were already surrounded by my soldiers.

There were only two targets.

A beautiful female knight with flowing blue hair, and the saintess with blonde hair hiding behind her.

“Ho?”

I was a bit surprised.

Both the female knight and the saintess were top-tier women. They looked exhausted and covered in dirt, but even so, they were very beautiful and sexy.

The female knight with blue hair was a tall, model-like woman with a voluptuous body that was visible even under her armor, and the saintess with blonde hair… She had such large breasts and voluptuous buttocks that just looking at her made me want to suck her whole body and have sex with her for days on end.

I never expected to gain such women.

ㅡClap, clap, clap.

I clapped my hands and said.

“You’ve worked hard to get here, Saintess. And you too, guard knight.”

“What…!”

Their sharp gazes turned towards us. It was enough to make me flinch slightly. Wouldn’t anyone flinch at such a sight?
