Episode 241: Commence Battle! (1)

I immediately climbed up the tree and looked at the sky. Two angels were flying towards us, maintaining some distance between them.

No matter what happens, I need to take care of both.

“Serinu, we need to catch both of them. Can you do it?”

“Of course! We can split into two groups and fight!”

“What about ganging up on one? Is that difficult?”

“If we make a mistake, we might miss one of them. It’s a bit risky, but it’s better to split into two groups.”

“Oh… as expected of an expert.”

Yes, it’s better to follow Serinu’s advice. Serinu was my elite air force commander. In times like this, I had to trust Serinu.

“Then Serinu, go prepare the pixies for sortie. As soon as I give the order, they will fly up and attack.”

“Leave it to me!”

ㅡHop!

Serinu lightly flew up and landed under the tree, running to the pixies. I also went down and informed my subordinates who were already in battle positions.

“During the retreat, do not panic and follow the dark elves precisely. Understood?”

“Krek! Yes, sir! Master!”

According to Nekri, the human infantry was also advancing. Given the terrain, they must pass through the narrow path ahead to move forward.

Once they entered the path, we would immediately launch a fire attack. In the ensuing chaos, if they fled towards us, the goblin unit would finish them off, and then we’d retreat.

Even if the enemy pursued, they wouldn’t be able to get through the traps set by the dark elves around here.

After inflicting damage… if they tried to retreat, we would use the opportunity to strike with the Lamia cavalry.

The plan was excellent, but how effective it would be in actual combat remained to be seen.

“They’re coming.”

Everything depended on Serinu.

“Alright.”

As the angels flew over us again.

“Pixies, sortie!”

I gave the command for the pixies to sortie.

“Everyone! Form groups! We will handle the angels on the right! You take care of the left angels!”

“Got it!”

“We will definitely win since we’re ganging up on them!”

The pixies, burning with fighting spirit, widened their eyes. Normally, pixies are cute and voluptuous bees, but now, they are violent war hornets.

“Then, sortie!”

ㅡBuzz!!!

A very powerful wing sound! Indeed! It was worth supplementing them with white stuff this morning! They are in better condition than when they fought angels yesterday!

“Go!”

ㅡScreeech!

The two pixie squadrons took off powerfully. As they soared, they began to charge towards the angels just like yesterday.

“Hoo.”

I could already gauge the situation.

No need to worry.

Yesterday was our ‘first battle’ with the angels. But today? It’s the second battle. Generally, one could not fully exert their strength in the first battle. You need to get used to it to fight well.

ㅡ…!

Just by looking, I could tell. The pixies were clearly approaching the angels with better precision than yesterday! As expected of my elite air force!

ㅡWham!

The two squadrons targeted each angel. Then, the firepower projection followed. As the wind cutters fired continuously, the angels quickly formed protective shields.

Foolishly.

It’s unfolding just like yesterday. It was said that these angels needed a moment of concentration to form their shields, during which they could not move for a few seconds.

That made them just targets.

“Doing well.”

Each squadron split into two to form a crossfire. However, compared to yesterday, the firepower was halved. The shields were breaking slower. Perhaps because of this, the angels, still shielded, started to flee.

“Serinu, I trust you…!”

The pixies skillfully pursued and attacked the fleeing angels! Although the angels dodged here and there, there was no escaping a gang-up!

ㅡBoom!

With the explosion of the shield, the angel fell! Immediately, the pixies dived towards the falling angel, attacking again. They learned from yesterday that a falling angel can accelerate and escape.

ㅡScreeech!

The overwhelming firepower was projected, and the angel, unable to resist, crashed down without recovering. Simultaneously, the pixies that had taken out their target joined the others in finishing off the remaining angel.

“We won…! We took down two angels again!”

We dropped two more angels! Now, air superiority was entirely ours! From now on, we could operate the pixies more freely!

In simple terms, we had regained the map hack!

“Vanessa! Lea! Take three dark elves each and go retrieve the angels at the crash site! If it gets too tough, retreat immediately!”

“Understood. We’ll bring them back right away.”

“I don’t want to be away from the Saintess. I refuse.”

Was this woman really speaking so curtly? Disobeying orders during war was punishable. I’d make sure to give her a holy torture session next time.

“Is that so? Saintess? Could you order Lea?”

“Lea, go quickly. Aren’t those lovely ladies to be my beloved’s anal slaves? Go retrieve the angels.”

“Ugh…! Alright.”

“Hahaha, good girl.”

As soon as the Saintess sighed and spoke, Lea nodded immediately. She really listened well to the Saintess.

“Didn’t I do well? Praise me quickly!”

“Yes, yes. You did well, Saintess.”

I patted the head of the Saintess, who was acting cute. While doing so, Sharan came running.

“Sha! Master! I killed all the plants!”

“Oh! Well done! Now we just need to wait!”

The fire attack preparation was complete. I didn’t know the state of Imsoong on the cliff, but I’d find out when the pixies return.

ㅡBuzz!

Soon, the pixies returned.

“Another victory! Again!”

“We’re invincible!”

“The strongest air force! The strongest air force!”

“Hurrah!”

As expected, it was noisy.

“Well done, pixies! As expected, the angels are no match for you!”

“Of course, that’s obvious!”

“Hehehe, I’ll reward you when we get back! Wow! The pixies are so strong! You’re just the best!”

“Kyah!”

When I praised them greatly, the pixies jumped around like excited retrievers, shaking their chests.

“Alright then. Since the battle is over, let’s go take a rest. And Serinu, we might need to scout in shifts after resting. Is that okay?”

“Hmm… We’ll have to rotate a few at a time. Even now, our wings are tired, and if we don’t rest, we won’t be able to respond in an emergency.”

As expected, Serinu was thoughtful. Even though she seemed innocent, she was the chief of the pixies. She knew that if we didn’t rest, we couldn’t continue fighting.

“Alright. Then let’s send out only two for scouting and rotate them.”

“That should be fine!”

After granting the pixies a break, I checked the battle formation and listened to the report from the returning dark elf messenger.

“They haven’t stopped. They are still advancing.”

“Hmm.”

The baron’s infantry continued to advance. Upon further observation, it seemed they would indeed pass through this narrow path.

“Didn’t you see any other angels?”

“No. I looked at the sky, but I didn’t see any angels.”

“They said there were four.”

Could one have retreated? This was becoming troublesome in many ways. But, since the pixies caused a ruckus, it wouldn’t be strange if the baron’s army saw them.

“Alright! The angels have fallen, and the human army is still advancing! Just move as this Demon King commands, and we will win!”

“Kereureuk!”

All that remained was to wait for the baron’s army to come.

Well, it didn’t matter if we retreated. I planned to poke at their flanks with the Lamias… While waiting, Vanessa and Lea returned, bringing the unconscious angels.

Let’s train their anuses after the war was over.

“Demon King! The humans will soon reach the narrow path!”

A pixie that had gone out for aerial reconnaissance reported.

“Alright. Good job, pixie. Go up and inform the imps one last time.”

“Okay!”

The baron’s army has lost three angels but continued to advance. Honestly, I didn’t understand why they were so desperate.

The last angel was currently moving with the baron’s army without separating. They must be on guard since they had already lost three.

Well, anyway. They were marching towards the narrow path of death prepared for them.

“I’ll roast them.”

“Master, it’s a human barbecue party, Shaa.”

“Hehehe, yes. A barbecue party.”

I’d burn them all to death. To that end, I had dried up all the plants along the narrow path.

Finally.

ㅡRustle.

The baron’s army started to come into view. I was currently hidden in a ghillie suit, watching the narrow path from within a tree.

The baron’s army stopped at the entrance to the path.

“These bastards?”

Still, as a military unit, were they wary as soon as they saw the narrow path? Well, the narrow path was a classic ambush hotspot in the Three Kingdoms as well. If they had any sense, they should be cautious.

But that’s a judgment made when humans clearly recognized they were at ‘war’ with each other.

ㅡRustle, rustle.

Soon, they resumed their march.

They entered the narrow path.

“Oh…!”

Seeing that, intense joy gripped my heart. These bastards…! Yes! They came in! They entered the narrow path filled with dried weeds!

ㅡWe’ve won!

The thought of victory struck my brain. Once they filled the narrow path, the imps would immediately throw fireballs.

It was not just weeds there. Tall plants grown by Sharan were densely packed as well. Of course, they were also completely dried up.

If fire fell, it would burn quickly.

ㅡRustle, rustle.

The baron’s army entered the narrow path.

The last angel was flying above them.

Currently, the imps were prepared for an ambush on the cliff. There’s no chance of being discovered yet. They would be spotted if they take action, but by then, the pixies would already be in the air.

“A little more. Just a little more…!”

As I waited, the soldiers reached the middle of the narrow path.

Just a bit more.

Once they were about 80% in, I would give the attack order.

“Ugh…!”

The time of patience. It was hard to suppress the joy. Suppressing and suppressing all the intense emotions, the moment the baron’s army reached the point I was aiming for!

“Serinu! Give the attack order to the imps! And shoot down the angel!”

“Okay!”

I immediately gave the command to the pixies!

“Move, my soldiers!”
