Together, two hundred thousand people and demons on both sides collided and began killing each other.

　Shouts, screams, and the sound of flesh being cut off.

　Various sounds echoed on the battlefield.

(Great.........)

　I've never seen a battle this large before.

　I couldn't help but shudder at the power of the battle.

　The smell of blood quickly filled the area, and with the loss of my sense of reality, I felt my reason as a human being vanishing.

　Geez.

　Illtimina-san's hand grasped my hand like that.

(.........Ah.....)

　The warmth of the room wakes me up.

　Ms. Illtimina looked at my face and then smiled gently, as she always did.

　Seeing that, I realized.

(I see.)

　I guess I've been swallowed up in the battlefield air for some time.　

　Yeah.

　I feel grounded now.

Thank you, Miss Illtimina.
No.

　She smiles.　

　Having regained myself, I looked at the battlefield again.

　There, the weapons of 100,000 toluga warriors had defeated the Black Great Ape.

　They were accompanied by 10,000 horned gray wolves with horns and fangs that attacked the monsters with their horns and fangs, and 300 metal golems that received the demons' attacks and crushed them with their huge fists.

　Of course, there were also many Toruga warriors who were killed by the Black Great Ape and the other demons.

　For now, the battlefield is 50-50.

''The Warriors are going too!''

　Kirto said.

　We, 'The Fifth Pioneer Group', were about to enter this battle as well, albeit belatedly.

(Yeah.)

　I make up my mind.

　"You're going to stay here," Kirt says.

"Sol, you're going to stay here and be a sober man.
Okay.

　Solstice nodded.

　Kilt's gaze turned to me and Poe.

'You two, stay here and protect Sol and Torchia. Never let them get anywhere near you.
Yes.
Poe agreed.

　We nodded.

　I really wanted to go with you, but there's a role to play in the fight.

(Patience here.)

　I tell myself.

　Mr. Kilt looked at the other "Golden Mark Demon Hunter,

"Irna, you are with me. I will destroy the Black Great Monkeys.
Yes, sir.

　Iltimina nodded with a quiet fighting spirit.

　Then the two greeted His Majesty the Empress Ameldas, and they themselves got off the ship and ran to the battlefield.

The 'Fifth Pioneer Group' has 400 people.

　Kirt led about fifty adventurers from that group and ran to the battlefield.

　As a wandering army, he was carrying out the hiding of the battlefield.

　Looking at it from above, one could clearly see the scene.

　The 300 Kingdom Knights, led by General Roberto, were also in a recovery role.

　They treated the injured Toluga warriors who were brought in one after another with recovery magic and returned them to the battlefield.

　Recovery troops are also easy targets for the enemy.

　However, the Royal Knights did not back down an inch.

　And the one protecting those Kingdom Knights was the 50 Temple Knights, whose silver armor was also beautiful.　

　Under Aase's command, if they took their wands and chanted a spell at once, a huge magic circle was created in the sky, and a pillar of light fell from it, burning the 'Black Great Ape' and the others to death.

''It's collective magic!''

　Solstice's eyes lit up.

　It's a powerful magic that the Temple Knights specialize in and can be activated by multiple people.

　Even the Tolga warriors looked surprised at the power of that magic.

　Furthermore, from the sky, four dragons from the Shumurian Dragon Horsemen, led by Mr. Raydor the Dragon Knight, were aiming at the place where the Black Great Monkeys were gathered on the battlefield, radiating tremendous flames.

　This makes it impossible for the Black Great Ape to focus on the Toluga Warrior.

　Furthermore, the bombardment from the Toluga wooden ship is also continuing.

(Good flow!)

　Even I could tell that the battlefield was tilting in our side as time passed.

"Hmm.

　Even His Majesty the Empress Ameldas, with some leeway, is looking at the battlefield from the heights of a wooden ship.

　That's when.

''--Fush soldiers!

　Such cries in the Tolga language echoed close to us.


　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇


(What?!)

　Startled, I quickly ran to the edge of the ship.

　From there, I look at the ground.

"!

　There were about 100 or so 'Black Great Apes' gathered between the wooden ships of the toluga and the wooden ships.

(Why?!)

　This is where the Empress Toluga is.

　That is to say, it was one of the safest places on the battlefield, protected by a large number of guarded warriors.

　It was impossible to imagine that there were so many 'Black Great Monkeys' there.

　The Tolga warriors around me were also surprised.

　Then I looked around and witnessed the Black Great Monkeys appearing one after another from the large holes in the ground.

(Ah.)

　Well, you've been under the ground!

　While we were fighting on the ground, some of the 'Black Great Apes' dug a hole under the ground and made a surprise attack to drop the 'Empress' ship, the main body of the Toluga Empire.

　What intelligence.

　While I was surprised, the group led by the 'Silver Great Ape' was approaching towards us.

　''Gasp, Zashu,''

　Naturally, the surrounding Tolga warriors attacked the 'Black Great Monkeys' all at once.

　In the blink of an eye, the number of the herd dwindles.

　However, about five of them attached themselves to the outer wall of the ship and climbed up the wall at once.

(Fast!)

　Surprised by their speed, I stepped backwards and drew the 'fairy sword' from its scabbard, releasing it.

　Five of them reach the top of the ship.

''Ho?''

　shrimp

　Her Majesty the Empress Ameldas drew the curved sword that she held at her waist.

　What I feel from it is the atmosphere of a certain warrior - Her Majesty the Empress of Toluga seems to be a warrior herself who can fight.

　And five of them pounce on me.

　The 20 or so Toluga warriors who were Her Majesty's bodyguards stood in the way to stop them.

　Gasp, Zachun.

　Four of them are killed.

　But only one of them, the Silver Monkey, slipped through the protective wall.

　Beyond that, only the figure of Empress Ameldas remains.

(Not good!)

　In front of His Majesty the Empress Ameldas, who was about to raise her sword, the 'Silver Great Ape' unexpectedly came to a sudden stop. Then, its mouth is opened wide.

　Her Majesty's expression strengthens.

''Shima--''

　In the swollen throat of the demon, His Majesty Ameldus may have foreseen his own death.

(Let it not!)

Poe!
Yes, sir.

　The two of us, the two children, jumped in front of His Majesty.　

''!''

　His Majesty's face seemed surprised.

　In the next moment, purple flames erupted from the mouth of the 'Silver Great Ape'

"Pooh-oh!

　At the same time, the blonde little girl's yell echoed over the ship.

　Bobaan.

　That ''Divine Dragon's Yell'' became a circular barrier that prevented the purple flames and bounced them back to the surroundings.

''Gyoa!''

The human face of "The Great Silver Monkey" is a surprise to me.

(Now!)

　Not wanting to miss the opportunity, I close the gap between the two in one fell swoop with a very low stance.

　Hu Kong.

　Both of its legs were severed.

　As it was, he flipped over and slashed the head of the fallen 'Silver Great Ape' with a single flash.

　Hupan.

　The demon's head flies off, falls to the floor of the ship, and rolls away.

(Good!)

　Not forgetting my remaining heart, I exhaled heavily after confirming the demise of the 'Silver Great Ape'.

　Then I looked back at the Empress while hiding the blood-soaked sword behind my back.

''Are you safe?''

　His Majesty Ameldus, who had let go, came to himself at the sound of his voice.

''Ah, um.''

　He nodded as he stared at me with a roll of his eyes.

　Good.

　If something had happened, it would have been a disaster for the Tolga Empire and for us Shumurians.

　When I was relieved, a smile came over my face.

''.........''

　His Majesty the Empress Ameldas stared at my face.

　Around me, the Tolga warriors were checking out the corpse of the 'Silver Great Ape' while staring in amazement at the little exotic child who had defeated it.

''I see.''

　His Majesty Ameldas nodded.

'As I recall, you said you were Marl. 'A little warrior. You have defended me well. I thank you.'
"Haha.

　I kneel down and keep my head down.

　Poe, next to me, did the same.

　His Majesty Ameldas smiled at us.　

　Then he turns around and raises his voice in a high-pitched voice.

''Their mother-in-law's trickery has been crushed by the little warriors of Shumuria!　Come on, Trougha Warriors!　It's our turn to be next!　Let us continue to lay waste to them and give the glory of victory into my hands!

　A beautiful, but noble, pep talk.

　To that, the Tolga warriors each raised their weapons high.

''Oh, oh, oh!''　

　A yell that spreads like a tsunami.

(Oh ... great.)

　The effect of that increased will to fight is amazing to watch.

　As my eyes widened, His Majesty Ameldas laughed at me.

　And so the battle continued, and when the Black Apes had lost 50,000 of their number and were outnumbered by 50,000, they quickly retreated in the direction of the Demertus Mountains.

　It was a victory for us and the Toluga Army.

　On the battlefield at dusk, the victory cry of the Toluga Warriors echoed high in the wilderness sky.
