Episode 238: Seize Air Supremacy! (1)

Thus, the baron and the angel coalition army launched their advance. The number of soldiers was the same as before, but they now had four rather strong angels accompanying them.

These angels would skillfully conduct aerial reconnaissance and lead the soldiers safely. This was genuinely extremely dangerous. Although I had experienced many battles, this one was definitely the most perilous.

“Pixies.”

“Yes…!”

“Yes!”

The gathered pixies answered with faces full of discipline. They had been diligently training and gaining combat experience.

Elite Air Force!

All of the pixies were part of my elite unit!

“This time, it will be quite dangerous! The angels can fly just like you! Therefore, until we annihilate the angels, we’ll fly in formations without separating!”

The top priority was to defeat the angels and seize air supremacy. It was truly amazing to think about having to worry about air supremacy in a place like this.

As amazing as it was, it would be the hardest and most problematic.

Ground troops could be increased, but we couldn’t increase the number of pixies unless we found another village.

In other words, the pixies were both the fighter pilots and the fighters. We must capture enemy fighters without suffering any losses. Since we had more numbers, we should use that to our advantage.

“According to Karuti’s information, the angels don’t move together in fours but separately, conducting reconnaissance and exploration. We’ll ambush and take down one first. If we capture another before they realize something is wrong, it will be easier to deal with the remaining two.”

When two of their comrades were taken out, they would be significantly demoralized, giving us the advantage. No matter what, we must capture the angels.

“Don’t worry! You’ve all been trained for this! You can capture the angels! Everyone knows that, right?”

“Yes! We know!”

“We’ll capture all those angels!”

“Kyuse Bellacruel’s army forever!”

—Hooray!

The pixies shouted in unison.

“Show off your combat skills properly! If you defeat the angels this time, your strength will be proven!”

“Kyaaaah!”

“Hooray!”

“We are warriors!”

—Splash!

The pixies continued to cheer, shaking their chests.

“Hehe, they really are battle maniacs.”

I could not afford to lose even one of them.

I didn’t want my precious pixies to get hurt.

“Well, just trust me, we’ve been training hard. We’ll shoot down all the angels and seize air supremacy!”

“You’ve memorized how to evade and conduct pincer attacks, right?”

“Of course! We’re so smart!”

“Then let’s check once more.”

I immediately took the pixies to the training ground.

“Serinu, you’re in ambush mode now, and there’s an angel up in the air. What should you do?”

“Conduct formation flight!”

—Swoosh!

At Serinu’s command, the pixies swiftly took off in an orderly manner. They quickly set their targets and began flying.

—Buzz!

The pixies maintained their distance from each other, chasing the imaginary angel in the sky.

That’s not all!

—Pew! Pew! Pew!

The flying pixies formed a fire net and started shooting! They fired wind cutters imbued with magic deadly to angels!

Multiple pixies chased one angel while executing formation shooting techniques. Once ambushed, the enemy has no choice but to flee, and attacking fleeing enemies is the easiest.

—Buzz!

The pixies continued to fly in the air. They practiced evasion maneuvers, with one side evading while the other pressed forward to attack.

After completing the ambush training, the pixies landed again.

“Well done! Very well done!”

—Clap, clap, clap!

I clapped vigorously and hugged each of the landing pixies!

“You did so well! At this rate, we can capture the angels!”

“Kyaah…! Can’t… breathe, Master!”

If we couldn’t capture the angels after all this, then seizing air supremacy was absolutely impossible. I could say that for sure.

If that happened… we’d have to retreat with tears in our eyes.

Without air supremacy, we couldn’t win the battle. If the pixies couldn’t handle it, we had no way to shoot them down. Even the dark elf archers said it was hard to hit flying pixies.

But this wasn’t the end.

After retreating far into the jungle, we’d start again from there. We’d build our strength to become the demon king again. Giving up wasn’t an option. I would live proudly with my family. I would surely dominate this world.

“Anyway, be careful. You’re perfect, but the enemy might be stronger. If things go wrong, run before you get hurt.”

“We won’t run! We’ll win!”

“Right!”

“We’ll shoot down all those angels!”

Their confident looks were really cute.

Of course, we must prepare for the worst.

Karuti, true to her word of sending Evil Eyes more frequently, came back once more and provided detailed information on the enemy’s current status and their direction of advance.

“That’s good news, isn’t it?”

Listening to the report, it seemed like the enemies were likely to come through the path we had prepared. Well, there were limited useful paths to begin with. They had no choice but to choose one of the routes we had scouted.

“Yes, Kyuse-oppa. We’ve prepared well, so there’s nothing to worry about. As expected, the four angels are scouting in different directions. Given the current situation, even if we encounter them, we’re likely to meet only one.”

“That’s also good news.”

The four angels were definitely divided. This meant that with the pixies’ ambush, we could definitely take down at least one.

“Alright, Karuti. We’ll advance in that direction immediately. What about the next contact?”

“It might be a bit difficult. The angels are all conducting reconnaissance, so it’s hard to avoid their sight.”

“That’s fine. We already have all the necessary information. Come back when you have some free time.”

After finishing the conversation with Karuti, we immediately began preparations to move. Since we had to fight anyway, we had left the dungeon.

We only needed to move a little.

“Alright, everyone! It seems the enemies will use path 3! Let’s go there!”

“Krrk! Understood!”

“Shya. Master, are they coming now?”

“Yes. There will be a battle within two days.”

First, we would ambush the angel that came for reconnaissance and then use the gap in their air supremacy to conduct our reconnaissance.

“March!”

We quickly marched.

As soon as we arrived at the designated location, we set up camp. We had to prepare a good waiting place and camouflage it properly to wait for the enemies.

After completing the preparations, we posted sentries and anti-aircraft lookouts and gave the soldiers some rest.

We needed to preserve as much energy as possible before the fight.

“Serinu. The angel will come soon. So, rest and eat something while lying down with the others. Be ready to go at the signal.”

“Yes. Leave it to me.”

Serinu nodded.

“Are you okay? Nervous?”

“Honestly, a little. It’s the first time fighting that strong angel. But trust me. We’ve worked hard, right?”

“Hehehe, indeed.”

I reached out and patted Serinu’s head. The feel of the antennae in my hand was quite cute.

“Just to remind you, retreat if it’s dangerous. If the angel is overwhelmingly strong, there’s no need to fight. Running is the answer.”

“You really worry a lot. I’m telling you, we can win.”

“Still.”

“Alright! If it gets dangerous, we’ll run! Hmph!”

Serinu turned her head, crossing her arms.

She probably thought I didn’t trust her.

“Hey, Serinu. It’s because you pixies are important. You’re the elite air force. It would be troublesome if you got hurt.”

“Well, I understand that much.”

“Good.”

—Smooch.

I kissed Serinu’s forehead. She turned her head to the side, blushing.

“Uh, um! I’ll go rest! Tell me when the enemies come!”

“Sure. Be ready to take off even while resting.”

Serinu went back to where the pixies were. The pixies’ resting place could be described as a camouflaged runway.

If an angel appeared, they would take off immediately.

“Hmm.”

The other soldiers were also lying down, resting. Of course, the sentries were keeping watch in turns, and the anti-air lookouts were taking turns watching the sky from the trees while camouflaged.

“Imp! Anything unusual there?”

“Krrk! Nothing unusual!”

The imp on the tree reported no abnormalities.

“We just need to catch the angel. Just the angel.”

That’s all it took to win.

“Shya. Master. You should lie down and rest too. Sharan will give you a lap pillow.”

“Shall I?”

“Do you want to suck Sharan’s milk too?”

“Let’s do that!”

“Wait. Master, won’t you suck my milk too?”

Perhaps seeing my slightly troubled expression, Sharan and Lumica came over to comfort me.

Let’s wait while drinking some milk.

While we were waiting after setting up camp.

“Krrk?! Mo, Master! It’s an angel! An angel has appeared!”

Imsoong’s voice pierced my ears like thunder!

“Everyone! Get up quickly and quietly! Imsoong! What’s the situation?”

“One! I see one angel! It’s flying slowly! This way!”

“Alright…! It’s finally here!”

—Swoosh!

I immediately ran to the pixies!

“Serinu! The angel has appeared! Only one!”

“Uh, yes! Got it!”

“Get up and prepare to fly! When the signal comes, take off together! Follow the training and intercept in formation! Got it?”

“Got it! Everyone! Prepare for battle! Let’s show the angels our strength!”

“Yes!”

“Alright!”

The pixies started putting on their gear.

—Swoosh!

“Sharan! Ghillie suit!”

“Shya!”

I also donned my ghillie suit and climbed a tree to look at the sky.

“Good…!”

There was only one angel in sight! In the wide sky, no other angels were visible! Good! When it got a bit closer, we would intercept it!

“Come!”

I would crush it!

The angels’ ambitions would be thwarted here!
