Episode 266
There are three noble families in the Demonic Clan that boast long-standing traditions.
Gaedrikan, Soldre, and Pasik.
Among them, Gaedrikan is also famous for being the family that produced the former 1st Corps Commander Doritugs.
These three families are made up of high-ranking demons, and their numbers are enormous.
The number of demons under their sphere of influence is as high as 20% of the entire population.
That’s why the demons
He had the most say among the delegates.
Purism and the sense of being the chosen people were natural to them, and they had enough power to support such ideas.
The heads of the three families who hold power similar to that of the Demon Clan.
They did not look kindly on the new Demon King, Sidriel.
“How long should we continue to support such a brat as the Demon King?” “There’s nothing we can do since Doritugs was defeated.” “That is truly questionable. How can it be possible that Doritugs was defeated by such a young Demon King? There must have been some trickery involved.”
From their perspective, Sidriel harbored doubts about whether he was human or a demon.
You can tell by the frequent behavior that goes against the spirit of the Demon Tribe.
For such a cowardly person to be the Demon King? This is a disgrace to the Demon Clan.
Besides, I didn’t like the fact that they were secretly hostile to their forces.
So the three families kept interfering with Sidriel’s every move.
“The Demon King has finally come to his senses.”
But today is a little different.
This is the first time since Sidriel became the Demon King that he has shown any behavior that I like.
“Peace with humans was nonsense from the start.” “I don’t like being raided from behind like this, but it’s okay since the opponent is human.”
An order to exterminate humanity.
To be precise, it was to go behind the human’s back and launch a surprise attack.
It wasn’t difficult because the operation area, time, and movement route were all detailed.
I heard that there has been a huge civil war between humans recently, and it seems like they are planning to take advantage of the situation to expand the power of the Demon Tribe.
“Are they those crazy guys again?” “They’re not even human or what. They really had a lot of momentum.” “Huh, they were just insignificant guys. Not worth worrying about.”
In fact, I encountered human armies several times on my way here.
A bunch of crazy people.
He may be strong for a human, but he is still human.
Initially, the three families brought only 150,000 elite demons.
Dealing with people who weren’t even half as numerous as me was easier than eating cold stew.
“I think we’re almost there.” “I heard there are quite a few this time. I’m looking forward to it.” “I’m going to eat for the first time in a while. Hehe!”
At that time, the heads of the three families smiled wickedly.
The demon tribe that went out on reconnaissance has returned.
“Blood, Pirma! This is a big problem!”
For some reason, the scout was shivering and sweating profusely.
Pirma, the head of the Gaedrikan family, frowned at the sight.
“What the hell? What are you talking about?” “… The number of enemies is too great. It’s a number beyond imagination!”
“under?”
Pirma snorted.
It was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh.
“Is that all you have to say?” “Lord Pirma! This is not something to be underestimated! There are so many humans advancing that they could fill the plains…”
“Shut up!”
Pirma shouted.
This scout is a member of the Gaedrikan family.
His face burned red when he saw his subordinate behaving like this in front of the heads of other clans.
“You useless bastard! You’re trembling because there are a few more humans. And you’re still a member of Pirma!”
“… sorry.”
“If you have a brain, think about it! If there are more humans, isn’t it a good thing? You can kill and eat them as much as you want. Or, did you really think that our three families would be defeated by mere humans!?”
The scout lowered his head and said nothing.
It was unfair, but if I said more here, I might really lose my neck.
I just think to myself.
You say that because you haven’t seen it with your own eyes.
Let’s see if he can say something like that after seeing the enemy forces a little later.
It was then that the ground began to shake.
Doo doo doo…!
A noise heard with a slight vibration.
The heads of the three families looked in the same direction at the same time as if they had made a promise.
“It’s finally coming!”
“The party is about to begin!” “It’s time for the slaughter!”
Far away, at the edge of the hill in the plain, a group of humans appeared.
They were still so far away that they looked like small ants, but they were moving so fast that I could feel them getting closer in real time.
Doo doo doo doo doo…!
“Hmm, that’s certainly a lot.” “There must be at least 200,000 of them.”
The human being who had been hanging over the edge of the hill had now covered half of the hill.
Until this time, the heads of the three families were unknown.
The fact that that number is very, very small, a fraction of a fraction.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…!

It has become so large that vibration and noise are clearly noticeable.
Humans had covered the hills and even encroached upon the entire plains.
Wherever your eyes land, there are humans.
As I looked at them gathered in a pitch-black group and swarming around, I couldn’t help but feel goosebumps.
“Oh, just how many are there?” “Just looking at the ones I can see right now, there are over five million… and they’re still growing.”
At this point, the lips of the three heads of the clans also began to dry out.
There is already a difference of about 20 times, and the gap is widening further.
“… What are you planning to do?” “What can we do! After all, our opponents are humans. On the other hand, we are the elite of the Demon Tribe! This kind of battle is the stage where we can show our true worth!” “That’s right. If you think about it, it’s not that difficult. Demon Tribe
“If one person takes care of twenty people, isn’t that a victory?”
Pirma, the leader of Gaedrikan, suppressed his anger inwardly.
How can the authors, who are supposedly the heads of the clans, say such stupid things?
Demon tribe
It’s one thing for one person to deal with twenty people, it’s another thing for a group to fight against each other.
Group to group is several times more difficult.
Besides, it is self-evident that the enemy is not an ordinary human being.
The number of enemies that had filled the plains seemed to exceed ten million.
Even if they are an elite demon tribe, would they be able to win against such a formidable force?
“Pirma. Why? You wouldn’t be thinking of running away, would you?” “No way… I was just thinking about it for a moment. I wonder what kind of plague will spread when all those corpses rot.” “Creating undead with necromancy might not be a bad idea. I don’t know if it would work because the divine power is strong.”
Pirma had no choice.
Those who run away from here are weak and cowards.
And the demons
In society, the weak and cowards are not qualified to stand above others and are eliminated and die.
That’s why they had no choice but to give the same order today.
“Let us begin the operation according to the long-standing tradition of the Demon Tribe.”
Pirma took a deep breath and let out a loud bang of magic.
“All troops! Come back!!!”
“Whaaaaaaaah-!”
***
Something is wrong.
It didn’t take long for me to realize this.
Maybe I knew it was wrong from the beginning.
I just turned away from a reality I didn’t want to acknowledge.
“Hehehehe! Heretics! The demons are heretics too!” “Tear them apart! Chew them! Swallow them!” “Rest in peace to the unbelievers!” “Rest in peace to the demons!”
“Rest! Realize!!!”
From the moment we first met, I thought something was strange.
These are not a human army.
They were not wearing the armor that human armies usually wear, nor were they carrying weapons.
It’s also creepy that everyone is oozing with divine power.
And above all, their grotesque mental state was in no way human.
“My arm is cut off! Oh God! Thank you for giving me this ordeal! Keuhaha!” “Heehee, heeheehee! Heheheehee!” “Even the Demons can tear apart! Tear apart, tear apart! Tear apart! Keuhehee!”
Neglecting his own life, he is only interested in taking the lives of others.
I don’t care if my arms get cut off, my legs get cut off, or my intestines spill out.
A human more aggressive and insane than the Demons.
I couldn’t accept that such a person existed right before my eyes.
“Even so, he is still human! Kill him!”
“Wow!”
It was also a matter of pride.
They are weak humans.
He is a predator.
How can a predator run away from its prey?
So build up your pride.
Underestimate your opponent.
I turned away from the truth.
The price was… being torn alive by humans who thought of him as mere prey.
“Kekekeke…!”
“Ha, don’t! Don’t! Please, kkaaaah!” “Hehehe! I cut it off! I cut off Ethan’s arm!” “Hehe! I tore off his leg too!” “It’s a party! Partyeeee!!!”
The torn limbs of the demons fly around, spraying blood.
Beneath it, fanatics with mouths splitting in two celebrated a bloody festival.
There were even those who raised the demon’s head and shouted that they would offer it to the gods.
In this way, the demons died one by one.
Clearly, they killed many fanatics as warriors of one hundred men.
But no matter how much they killed, the number of fanatics only increased.
“If we continue like this, we will be annihilated! Retreat… Retreat…!”
Pirma, the head of the Gaedrikan family.
He looked around urgently as he ordered a retreat.
“Hehehe! Non-believers cannot escape!” “Heresys die here!”
“Peace and rest!”
“Rest! Rest! Rest!!!”
Wherever I look, all I see are people laughing strangely.
Where have all those demons disappeared to?
The heads of other clans who had been fighting together also disappeared without a trace.
I wonder if he ran away first.
“These cowardly authors!”
Pirma flew into the sky, exploding her magic.
It’s too late to retreat.
You have to live at least for yourself.
Although he was not a member of the Demon King’s Army, Pirma also possessed military power almost on par with that of a legion commander.
These damned filthy people.
There were too many of them to handle, but escaping would be possible.
I thought so.
Until a few bizarrely-looking fanatics stood in his way.
“Where are you going!”
“Unbelievers. You can’t escape. Hehehe…!”
“Death and rest.”
“Death and rest!!!”
You could tell at first glance that these guys were not normal human beings.
The muscles are grotesquely swollen beyond human limits.
Looking at the external appearance, excluding the facial features, it looks more like a demon than a human.
No, demon
Among them, it was rare to find a race with such large muscles.
Plus, the immense divine power felt from them.
There were at least dozens of times more of them than other humans.
Each and every one of them was on a level that was not inferior to Pirma himself.
Although Pirma did not know it, these people were in fact cardinals of the Deusis cult.
The cardinals were reborn as complete monsters through body modification and devotion to the empire.
“Do you think you guys can stop me!”
Despite the wonderful lines, Pirma was already looking for a way to escape.
These guys are different.
One-on-one, it might be okay, but if you fight ten people, you won’t be able to last even a moment.
“I won’t forget this humiliation!” Pfft!
Pirma quickly ran forward, firing her magic forward.
I was thinking of taking advantage of the gap between them and the magic.
but.
“Hehehe! Infidel! Catch the infidel!” “Catch the infidel!”
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
In an instant, a huge wall is created as millions of people step on each other and climb over each other.
“You can’t escape.” “Kik! Embrace the peace!”
Before he knew it, ten cardinals had followed him and blocked his way.
I try to use teleportation magic just in case, but as expected, it doesn’t work.
Only then did Pirma sense his own death.
“Ah, so futile… .” Wheeeeeeeeing-! Paaang!
Hundreds of thousands of divine magic spells fly in, and the world turns white in an instant.
“…”
Within a moment, Pirma disappeared without a trace.
It’s been just four hours since the battle began.
It was the death of the last demon remaining on the battlefield.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…!
The group of fanatics, having accomplished their objective, began to run south again.
