    The army received a lot of damage and managed to fly to the island where the magic girl was stationed. In reality, we were unable to launch a proper offensive.

    This is because a situation where dozens of people are dying every second cannot be called an offensive.

    To put it correctly, this was a massacre. It’s also one-sided.

    ‘Fuck.’

    The division commander leading the great fairy queen’s army could not help but curse at this situation.

    Although the army is made up of lowly humans, they are powerful beings strengthened by magical power.

    Each and every army that had the capacity to annihilate an entire squad fell to their deaths.

    I thought it would be a one-sided chase. I know that magical girls have a reputation for being strong. However, in the face of an overwhelming volume of 2 million, it was normal for it to be meaningless.

    It is a well-known fact that even large mammoths bowed before organized hunting.

    However, the reality was not so easy. It’s already been 2 hours since I put it in. The corps lost about one-tenth of its troops.

    ‘Besides, they are playing with us. ‘I didn’t even see you as an enemy in the first place!’

    The magic that the magical girl was throwing was not even a high-level technique suitable for massacre.

    Fireball or ice pick. Or it was just a machine gun barrage of magic. Even to that extent, the legion was massacred.

    “If they had surrounded the entire island in the first place, they wouldn’t have suffered at this level… !”

    In addition, the corps was unable to utilize its advantage in numbers.

    Normally, with this much difference in numbers, you would be able to use the form of putting pressure on all sides by surrounding the entire island.

    But the Fairy Queen didn’t want that. They only chose to fight head-on, and they seemed uninterested in the deaths that followed.

    “I never thought you would have the courage to say something profane, Arwes.”

    And then another problem of this nonsense army spoke up.

    Arwes frowned as he looked at the foolish fanatic.

    “I just don’t like this situation.”

    “Your opinion is not important.”

    “I’m not trying to give an opinion, I’m just saying that there is a better way to attack. I’m not saying I won’t follow orders!”

    If you can crush your enemies using numbers, it won’t matter how many victims you have.

    However, unilaterally changing personnel is not an option. In fact, it is no different from offering a sacrifice to the enemy.

    “They are soldiers who can be farmed like pigs or cows anyway. It wouldn’t matter much if such a short-lived species died… . By any chance, you don’t have any sympathy for these people.”

    “Are you saying this knowing that the fairies of the Longevity species have also split up?”

    The 200,000 soldiers who were destroyed in the meaningless assault, and the manpower dying in real time, included a considerable number of elite fairy soldiers.

    “They are the ones who promised to sacrifice themselves in the sacred war. Of course I was prepared to die.”

    “This is not a holy war or anything!”

    “Then? What is sacred?”

    I would like to say that it is not a holy war, but an indiscriminate massacre. Arwes didn’t do that.

    There are quite a lot of people who follow this fanatic.

    “All fairies are willing to die for the Queen. Know that, Arwes.”

    It was pointless to talk to this guy anymore. Arwes turned around.

    She smiled with satisfaction after winning the argument with her rival.

    That is, until a messenger suddenly arrived and ordered her division to charge.

    Even the division commander who will command the division.

    “Ha… .”

    Strangely, in this war, everyone died without any connection to the commander.

    Why? I couldn’t understand. Every soldier is like a sacrificial lamb on a sacrificial altar.

    Of course, that idea could not last much longer, and even Arwes’ division advanced forward.

    ***

    “It’s easier than you think.”

    Green, who had produced a machine gun and was scattering the seeds of death, looked back at his comrades and said,

    Green’s attitude could be said to be careless. If it were the usual Blue, this would be a strong scolding. She didn’t.

    ‘It’s too easy.’

    It was strangely easy.

    They acted as if they had 9 lives. He throws himself in front of the machine gun, which does not overheat or run out of bullets because it is made of magical power.

    Even though dozens of people were dying every second, they continued to throw themselves. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Four seconds had just passed, and a company’s worth of personnel had been wiped out.

    “Blue, at this speed, we can annihilate them in a few tens of minutes.”

    “Sure.”

    “Shall we go a little faster?”

    The number of 2 million was definitely a large number, and if they had rushed in using the right tactics. Even magical girls would not have been able to avoid difficulties.

    But they just chose to die.

    ‘Strange.’

    Blue’s mind becomes complicated. An unexpected incident from earlier creates a sense of discomfort in her.

    Could it be that the 2 million army is actually a fake created by magic? no. There would be no need to create something of that scale to cover up the main base.

    “Magical girl!”

    It was then. Through Green’s machine gun fire, a fairy armed with magical armor flew in.

    “You held on to my machine gun!”

    The fairy, who ran towards the enemy, slashed away magic bullets that could easily penetrate even tank armor, and blocked them with a shield when that was not possible, slowly raised her sword.

    “I am Arwes, the Fairy Queen’s confidant. Request a suitable duel target.”

    It was a fairy-style duel method. The magical girls, who knew the honorable methods of dueling well, looked at each other for a moment and then looked at Yellow.

    “I will step forward.”

    Breaking through Green’s defense line shows that he has a certain level of skill. The magic girl decided that it would be difficult to deal with the weak, low-level magic, so she sent out a master of hand-to-hand combat.

    Arwes, who confirmed that the other person was a magical girl with excellent physical ability, was grateful for that fact and added magic to the tattered blade.

    “You are not a worthy opponent! Let’s go!”

    Armor that easily blocks high-strength magic cutters and bullets.

    Arwes thought that it was thanks to these two weapons that he was able to jump in and cut down countless soldiers of the empire, even though he was the commander.

    And when Yellow’s fist dug into his chest, he had to change his thoughts.

    She’s been lucky so far that she was able to pursue a major.

    Because I was lucky enough not to face the magical girl head-on.

    “Cough!”

    If his entire division hadn’t advanced forward and been annihilated, he wouldn’t have done something like this.

    But it was too late to regret. The fist dug into his chest spun in half a circle, shortening his already short lifespan.

    “And, indeed, a magical girl… ! Like catching a bug!”

    “It’s a long story on a topic that leaves a hole in my heart. I’ll split it up like this.”

    “Before that, I have something to give you!”

    With no more life left, Arwes stretched out his hand and squeezed out the last of his magic power.

    At first glance, the square device looked like a smartphone. However, the complex array of red-coated wires indicated that he was not attached to an ordinary device.

    “Bomb?”

    It is also a bomb filled with pure magical power.

    “Even if I die, as long as I can do some harm to you bitches!”

    “It would be impossible.”

    Red looked at her hands. If a magic bomb were to explode, it would be able to completely blow up the entire area.

    However, it does not inflict even a scratch on all magical girls. Rather, it will cause damage to nearby magical forces.

    Do you not know that fact? Red gave Arwes a gaze filled with magic and completely melted the device.

    “Damn… . This war should never have started.”

    Arwes, who saw the bomb in his hand melting with his right arm, let out a sigh mixed with regret.

    “I finally realize that.”

    “…If we had known the purpose of this war in the first place, we wouldn’t have fought!”

    “Purpose?”

    Is it because of Isius? It is no secret that the Fairy Queen is after him.

    … Isius?

    “Oh my… . Fuck!”

    Blue, who belatedly realized the truth, gaped. It’s just as Arwes said. This is a war that should never have started in the first place if the queen’s purpose had been known.

    The 2 million troops that are coming are not soldiers.

    It’s just a ritual offering.

    “The emotions emitted by beings with magical energy make those with magical energy stronger.”

    Arwes twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed at the magical girl. Yellow saw it and parted her upper body with his hands.

    “Thanks to you, the true conception has awakened.”

    A voice came out from the cracked upper body. Yellow could tell who was speaking.

    She is a fairy queen.

    “The power of the emperor hidden inside that little conception has finally awakened! It is the awakening of the emperor. Magical girls! The true emperor has returned.”

    Kuguguuuung!

    The whole island shook.
