Episode 274: The First Battle Outside (3)

Cavalry was an immensely powerful force.

Against infantry, they almost always had the upper hand. With superior mobility and overwhelming attack power, infantry were inevitably dragged around when facing cavalry.

This was exactly that kind of situation.

“You bastards.”

I observed the battlefield from an appropriate vantage point.

There was an infantry unit positioned at the foot of a mountain path with a slight incline, creating a defensive barrier with wagons. This unit consisted of soldiers and nuns.

On the other hand,

—Thud, thud, thud! —Thud, thud, thud! —Thud, thud, thud!

The marauders leisurely circled them, applying pressure. The infantry couldn’t move. If they did, they’d instantly become prey to the cavalry.

Similarly, just holding out wasn’t a viable option either. Their supplies would soon run out, and if they were attacked while starving, they wouldn’t be able to fight back. But if they tried to break through now, they’d only become easy targets.

“Hmm.”

At first glance, it looked like a war of attrition on both sides.

But that wasn’t the case. Unlike the immobile infantry, the cavalry could move freely.

They could resupply whenever they wanted.

The marauders’ strategy was clear: they were waiting for the enemy’s supplies to run out. There was no need to rush. They planned to capture their exhausted enemies as prisoners.

It was, quite literally, a one-sided battle.

“Sister! Show me your pussy, and I’ll spare you!”

“Come to me now! I’ll rape you every day for a week!”

“Take off your clothes, sisters! Let me see those tits!”

The marauders laughed uproariously as they sexually harassed the nuns. I see. So that was their true goal? They planned to capture and rape the nuns.

“Ugh…!”

“Those damned bastards!”

“We must never surrender!”

The nuns were filled with determination. Though they were called nuns, they were armed. They knew that if they were captured, they would become sexual slaves to the marauders.

“Hahaha! That’s what makes it fun to rape them!”

“I can’t wait to taste them!”

“The one with long hair is mine!”

The cavalry continued mocking, their desire to violate the nuns only growing.

Watching this unfold,

“How insolent.”

Their arrogance was unbearable.

“You dare to covet my prey?”

How dare they harass my nuns? This cannot be forgiven. Those nuns, both their bodies and hearts, belonged to me. There’s no way I’d let filthy marauders have them.

The price for harassing my possessions would be high.

In other words, they were attempting NTR on me. Realizing this made my insides churn. Every beautiful woman in this world belonged to me.

I’ll kill them all.

“Serinu.”

“Yes!”

The pixies were also filled with determination. These small but mighty war enthusiasts would crush the enemy without hesitation.

“Leave it to us!”

The marauders had gained the upper hand using cavalry against infantry. Riding on horses, they had absolute confidence that they wouldn’t lose.

Infantry couldn’t exert their full strength against cavalry. The marauders were reveling in this overwhelming advantage, eagerly waiting to violate the nuns as their spoils of war.

They were basking in the omnipotence that came from their dominant position.

“I’ll make them experience the same thing they were enjoying.”

Did they have fun toying with infantry?

Did they enjoy that feeling of omnipotence on horseback?

It was over now.

“Let’s see if they can do the same against the air force! Pixies!”

“Yes!”

“All units, sortie! Crush that cavalry!”

“Yahoo!”

As Serinu let out a battle cry,

—Whoosh! —Whoosh! —Whoosh!

The pixies took to the skies with vigor.

They had already completed their training to deal with cavalry. Swarming them from the air and attacking the large horses. That was enough.

Horses were sensitive animals. A single Wind Cutter to the rump, and they’d go into a frenzy, throwing off their riders.

“Die!”

“You filthy marauders!”

“Take the arrows of justice!”

Excited, the pixies flew in low formation towards the marauders. The marauders, seeing the sudden appearance of the pixies, were momentarily confused.

—Pop, pop, pop! —Screeeeech!

As soon as the Wind Cutters struck the horses,

“Heheheheh!”

“Ahhhhh!”

“Sh-shit!”

Confusion turned into terror.

—Heheheh! —Ahhhhh!

The Wind Cutters hit the horses, causing them to thrash wildly, throwing their riders as if shot from a catapult.

In less than a minute after the pixies entered the battlefield, half of the cavalry were already lying on the ground.

—Clop, clop!

Some of the quick-witted marauders turned their horses around to flee.

—Whoosh!

But there was no way they could outrun the pixies in the first place. How could mere horses compete in a race against the demonized pixies?

“Aaaahhh!”

The pixies chased after the scattered marauders, taking them down one by one, and regrouped.

In just three minutes.

“In just three minutes, they annihilated the small cavalry unit…!”

Apart from the mountain behind us, the area was all open terrain. There was no place for them to hide, and even if they tried to run, they were slower than the pixies. Moreover, sitting on top of a large target like a horse made it inevitable.

Victory was certain.

Besides, they didn’t know about our existence. Whereas we knew everything. How does it feel to face enemies with map hacks and air units?

“Perfect! Absolutely perfect! This is the power of my air force!”

“Kek…! Lord! It sends shivers down my spine! Those human cavalry were wiped out in an instant!”

“That’s the might of the air force! But Buril! The pixies can’t finish off the dismounted riders!”

The pixies’ Wind Cutter was powerful, but it couldn’t penetrate armor.

“Goblin infantry! Charge in formation!”

“Kerak! First platoon, take the lead! Second platoon, left rear, and third platoon, right rear, prepare for battle, Kerak!”

—Thud, thud, thud! —Thud, thud, thud!

The goblins, who had been hiding in various places on the mountain, quickly moved into formation at Buril’s command.

“All units, charge!!! Keryaaaaaak!!!”

At the command to charge, they all rushed down the mountain toward the battlefield.

“Dark Elves, move down as well! Split the forces into two. One group will hunt the enemy, and the Nekri team will inform and reassure the nuns!”

“Yes, understood!”

The Dark Elves, too, drew their swords and raised their shields as they charged together. The loud commotion caused the nuns, who had been watching the pixies, to turn toward us.

Don’t worry.

We were the reinforcements. Of course, we’d demand loyalty and their bodies in return, but wasn’t that better than being raped by marauders? Surely, serving the Demon King would be more enjoyable.

“Keryaaaaaak!”

“Haaaaah!”

The goblins, fully armored in human equipment, didn’t look like goblins at all. They just looked like short humans.

“Aaaahhh!”

“Aaahhh!”

Like a landslide, the goblins swiftly descended upon the dismounted marauders and indiscriminately stabbed them with their spears.

Annihilation.

It was a complete annihilation.

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

Indeed, these guys are no match for me! Of course, in a real battle involving thousands of troops, we wouldn’t be as effective, but in this kind of skirmish, we can win as much as we want!

“Mission accomplished!”

“Yes! Well done, Serinu!”

“Kyaahahaha!”

“We absolutely crushed the cavalry! They couldn’t even resist!”

“This is our power!”

Laughing and chatting with Serinu, I watched as the goblins cleaned up the battlefield. Meanwhile, Nekri had already made contact with the group of nuns and was speaking with them.

Now then.

Should I head down too?

Their leader was a noblewoman. I wondered what kind of woman she was.

“Thank you! Lord Kyuse! You saved us!”

The young lady with jet-black hair bowed deeply with shining eyes.

“If it weren’t for Lord Kyuse, we would have been utterly defeated! How can we ever repay you for saving us like this…!”

Did she have a good personality? The young lady gave off a very cute impression, and she seemed to be full of energy. She looked like someone who expressed her emotions well.

Her figure… was quite impressive.

Even though she was wearing armor, I could tell, as an incubus. The young lady was a slender beauty with ample breasts.

“It’s nothing. I was just patrolling the area on orders from the Saintess.”

“Ah! I knew it!”

“You know about her?”

“Yes!”

The young lady had heard the rumors. Rumors that the Saintess was building a force with the angels who had turned to her side.

“In that case, you must also…”

“Ah. My name is Anna Hamins! I am the fourth daughter of the Count of Hamins!”

Anna Hamins.

The fourth daughter of the Hamins Count family.

I stored that information in my mind.

“I was heading to the barony with the nuns after hearing the rumors! I never expected to receive such help…! Thank you again!”

“Is that so?”

I smiled as I extended my hand.

“Perfect timing. The Saintess is in need of resolute commanders to lead the army. Would you lend us your strength?”

“Of course!”

Anna answered enthusiastically, revealing her determination to defeat the angels as well. I’ll hear more details after we return.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you so much.”

“We are truly grateful for saving us from those filthy marauders…!”

The nuns also bowed deeply in gratitude.

“It’s nothing. It was an order from the Saintess. Would you assist the Saintess as well?”

“Yes!”

How easy.

“Oh, Lord Kyuse. Are those small angels from the rumors?”

The pixies had indeed gained a reputation as beings similar to angels.

“Yes, they are. They are the sacred servants of the Saintess.”

“Ah! I see!”
