Sorry it took so long. We will make sure that all of your friends are revived.

What...

　The head of the defense of the Holy City's western protective wall, who had been approached by Tina, was unable to speak well.

　All of his men were defeated by the demons. Furthermore, when the demons appeared, the one who had sent him running for a message was also killed, and he was unable to notify them of the emergency.

　He, too, had given up on life after being hit by the demon's enormous magical power and having his prized sword broken.


　A beautiful woman appeared there and slaughtered two demons in an instant. He couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

　The beauty's every move was a sight to behold.

　She was Tina-Haribel, the woman who had saved the world a hundred years ago.

　I couldn't believe that a legendary hero had suddenly appeared here, yet she offered to revive my dead men.

　Not all of them are dead, but there are more than fifty people who need to be resuscitated.

　Only the saintly woman is the only one who can use Resurrection in this holy city. That saint girl can only use resurrection magic a maximum of twenty times a day.

　This was a fact that only a few of the soldiers defending the Holy City knew, but the head of the western defense knew this. That was why they couldn't believe Tina's words.

'You must carry all of you who are down to safety. Some of you are still breathing.

But the demons...

　Regardless of whether or not I believe Tina's words about reviving my subordinates, I'm in favor of moving my fallen subordinates - or at least my subordinates who are still barely alive - from this place.

　However, there are still a large number of demons flying around. Right now, there was no control due to the fact that the commanding demon was defeated, but there was no guarantee that they would leave us alone while they were moving their subordinates.


''It's okay. The demons will be defeated by me(──) you(──).''

　The head of defense questioned Tina's word 'we', but he soon found out what it meant.

　Suddenly, the demons that were flying in the sky were blown away.

　It was as if a huge wall flew at high speed, and the dozen or so demons flying in the vicinity were blown away collectively.

''I tried to imitate Hurt's move!

　When the head of defense looked in the direction of the voice, he saw an orange-haired beast race girl with orange hair walking in with a light footing.

　Merdi created a huge fist that was solidified with magic power and struck the demons together with it.

''Merdi-san, nice!''

Hello!　Soon, Rifa will bring the soldiers to you.

'I see. Then let us go down and intercept the enemy. The sky will be fine if we leave the sky to him(s) and his(s) women(s).

That's it!

　The girl of the beast race who suddenly appeared - Merdi and the head of defense who had heard Tina's conversation could not believe his eyes.

　Tina and Merdi jumped down from the protective wall towards the outside of the Holy City.


　Even without releasing light bullets, they could see that a great number of demons were heading towards this holy city.

　The ground rumbled with the demons' advance.

　About a thousand demons are coming to lay waste to this holy city.

　The demons that were attacking this place until a while ago are probably the advance team of those things.

　Even so, they were all C-ranked demons.

　If that's the case, there might be B-rank and A-rank demons in that main force.

　Furthermore, the demon I just defeated may not be the last.
　There could be multiple demons in that main unit as well.

　The worst demon army consisting of a thousand demons and multiple demons - in the face of such an enemy army, Tina and the others did not hesitate to go outside the protective wall.


''Oh, no...''

　No matter how much of a hero Tina is, there is no way she can continue to fight against that many enemies.

　Sooner or later they will be exhausted, exhausted and overrun by demons.

　I can't let the two women fight alone.

　The head of defense took the sword of the fallen soldier and walked away.

　 He didn't know how much he could help the hero, but he was going to get down underneath the protective barrier and fight, at least to be her shield.


'I'll leave the bottom to Tina-sama and Meldi-san, and you'll be fine. You should rest.

　Just before the stairs down the protective wall, he was stopped by a very beautiful voice.

　Like Tina, a beautiful elf, not unlike the battlefield, was standing there.

　Behind her were the soldiers guarding this holy city and the holy knights lined up behind her.

''Oh, and you?''

My name is Rifa-Elnor. For a reason, I have been entrusted with the command of this Holy City's defensive force by the Lady Seira.

　Saying that, Rifa showed him the rapier she had kept from Seira.


　

　Duke Iffel, who ruled the Holy City Sanctum, was the Holy City's greatest enemy - the devil Gusion.

　Furthermore, the priests who were second in power to Duke Iffel had also been brainwashed by Gusion.

　Elmia, who led the Holy Knights, was also still missing.

　In other words, there was no one to command the garrison of this holy city or the holy knights.

　It was possible for Seira, a saintess, to command them, but she didn't have the power to fight the demons right now, since Gushon had taken most of the saint's power away from her.

　However, Seira, who feared that the Holy City would be overrun without someone to lead the defensive forces, tried to go into battle, even though she had only the status of a common town girl.

　Rifa stopped her from doing so.

　Instead of Seira, I will command her - that's what she suggested. Rifa had his own unit, albeit a small one, when he was in his home country of Alheim, and he had the ability to command it.

　Just at that time, the holy knights who had sensed the strange situation in the Great Temple arrived.

　It took some time to explain the current situation to the holy knights and persuade Seira, who insisted that she would inevitably take command, but in the end, they came to an agreement that Rifa would go to the front line and Seira would take charge of the evacuation of the residents.

　In case of an emergency, Seira was to be accompanied by Yoko and Luna, along with the four holy knights.

　Then Rifa asked the holy knights who were there to help persuade the soldiers of the Holy City garrison to come to the protective wall while gathering those who could fight.

''The garrison should carry the fallen people to the rescue squad. The Holy Knights, please deploy on the protective wall.''

　Following Rifa's instructions, the soldiers carried those who had been defeated by the demons, and the holy knights spread out on the protective wall.

''It's okay if you only aim at the demons that Tina-sama and the others have defeated. Please don't take it too far. Let's protect this place........the Holy City!
""Ooooh!"

　The morale of the holy knights was high.
　One of the reasons is that they received the fury of the beautiful elves...

　In fact, Yohko had cast a brainwashing spell over this entire holy city.

　She had reduced the fear of the fleeing residents and prevented them from becoming confused, and she had given courage to the holy knights who were facing a thousand demons and stopped their limbs from shaking.

　For almost a hundred years, the Holy City, which had been free from the fear of demons, was suddenly attacked by a large army of demons. If this were the case, it would have been no surprise to see even greater chaos.

　Thanks to the work of Yoko, the Holy City had been transformed into a "battle-tested city".
