I have to consider my options given the situation.

　Before we can consider our options, we need to determine the ideal outcome (goal).

　The ideal outcome-- control over all the areas that Demon King Arisa controls.

　Demon King Arisa has declared war on us. With this, there will be no intervention by the third force for 30 days, and Demon King Arisa will not have automatic CP recovery.

　In a battle between subordinates, the defenders have the advantage in terms of traps and location.

　The best move that could be made from this situation was to defeat as many of the invading Arisa's subordinates as possible, and when their forces were exhausted, launch an invasion into Arisa's territory.

　With that in mind, it's a good idea for me, the bait, to show up at the front lines.

　However, in this place - the 26th control area, the annihilation power is lacking.

　If possible, I'd like to fish for more enemies in the twenty-eightth dominion area, which has superior annihilation power.

　If I move, the enemies will also move...?

　--Daquel, take 50 of your people and come to the 26th Reigning Territories with me. Upon arrival at the 26th Reign, you will be placed under the command of canon. Canon's orders are absolute.

"Kanon. "Kanon, call Daquell for me.
Yes?
'Daquell and 50 dark elves are coming, give them orders to intercept the enemy.

　In my place, I called up Daquell and 50 Dark Elves as long range attackers. Then, I entrusted canon with the chain of command in this place.

''What are you going to do, Sion-san?
We are moving into the Twenty-eighth Domain.
Huh?　A group of silverware........I think they'll be chasing after Mr. Theon, don't you?
That's the point.
Huh?

　Leaving the dumbfounded canon behind, I run to the [Transition Device].

''When the number of Living Mail is less than half of them, retreat!　Put your own life before the defense of the territory you control!　I like that!

　I delivered the final command as I ran without looking back.


　◆


　Having arrived at the Twenty-eighth Dominion Realm after going through the [Transition Device] twice, I check the situation in the Twenty-sixth Dominion Realm with my smartphone.

　Daquell and the Dark Elves, who had joined the tournament in place of me, are boldly firing their bows and arrows. In terms of power, my dark arrows are overwhelmingly more powerful than their counterparts, but in terms of the number of arrows fired, Daquell and the 50 dark elves have the upper hand, and as a result, their annihilation power has increased significantly.

　And the battle situation in the Twenty-eighth Control Area, which I'm about to enter now.......

　Lina and her subordinates who are good at attacking at close quarters, led by Lina, were engaged in a fierce battle with the goblins on the front line, while from behind, Flora and her subordinates who are good at attacking from a distance were flying magic and bows and arrows.

　As long as the sun's rays don't hit me, my abilities are the strongest within my own forces. All of my equipment is also fortified with a B-rank of unique items.

　If you feel pain or fear, you can retreat immediately........ What I have to do now is to bait--tell the Demon King Arisa of my existence.

　It's okay......... I'm not afraid........ I'm strong......... Even my status and equipment......... I'm stronger than anyone else!

　I tighten my grip on the gayborg in my hand to inspire myself.

　--Demon King Theon!　Let's push it!

　I saw the heroes in the game I once saw, and threw myself into the front line of the fierce battle.


　◆


　On the front line, Living Mail and the others, led by Iron, held up their shields to stop the enemy's invasion, and Lina and the others attacked the enemies who wielded weapons against Living Mail.

　-- 《One Flash Thrust》!

　A swiftly unleashed Gaybolg's stab pierces the goblin's throat as he tries to swing the axe down to Lina.

''Sion!''

　Seeing my appearance in the front line, Lina shouts in surprise.

''We don't have time to look at each other, okay?

　I lightly give Lina a look while thrusting out the gayborgs in my hand to kill one goblin. Lina quickly removes her gaze from me and swings her black magic sword - Darnslave - to kill the goblin in front of her.

''Chloe!　Leila!　What are you taking so long to do?　Let's just get rid of the enemy!
""--?　Ha!

　I wield my gayborgs at the front line, inspiring the two fanatics. Inspired by the name, the two of them smile ferociously and throw themselves to the front line, where the fairy species demons abound.

''Blue. Is that your all you've got?　Those who don't work, eat.
Whoa!　I'm waiting!　I want you to see me in action!

　Blue then threw a word along with a glance and rushed into the group of goblins at the front line, swinging his axe in a single-minded effort.

''Red!　Noir!　Rouge!　I thought you were stronger than that with the demon species, but is it my imagination?
'Sir!　No way!
What...?
Hey!　I'm going to get serious now!

　Red, Noir, and Rouge make full use of their power and swing their gold bars, collectively blowing away the goblins on the front lines.

　After that, I continue to wield my weapon on the front line while inspiring my subordinates.

　There were some dangerous moments, but with the help of the overprotective hate management of Iron and his friends, and the support of Leila and Chloe, I continued to destroy the enemy unharmed.

''Hahaha!''

　I'm good!　I'm strong!　I'm the strongest!

　With a high smile, I demonstrated the status and performance of the highest-grade items without regret, and buried the goblins, pixies, jack frosts, jack lanterns and.........numerous enemies that came in.


　◆


　It's been three hours since we began defending the Twenty-eighth Control Area.

　How many enemies have we buried?　There is no doubt that he has buried far more enemies than he has buried so far since he became the Demon King.

　However, the momentum of the enemies did not wane. Rather, the enemy's momentum was increasing in intensity.

　I've spent the last three hours understanding how to fight in a melee. It's impossible to see how the whole thing works. All you can do is focus on the enemy in front of you. The front line has not collapsed, so there is no danger of being attacked from the rear or left or right as long as you don't stick out. As long as you focus all of your attention on the enemy coming in from the front, there was no danger.

　I used the difference in reach to stab the goblins approaching from the front, and when there were no more enemies in front of me, I unleashed my magic and steadily reduced the number of enemies by being careful just not to stick out.

　If I keep this up, maybe one day I'll grow to level 10.

　I'm satisfied with the current state of affairs where I'm able to intercept them smoothly and chuckle....

　--!

　Suddenly, a rain of silver-colored arrows rained down from the sky.

　The silver rain arrows rained down equally on all those fighting on the front line, without distinguishing between enemies and allies.

　The frontline turns into an a-hazardous hell at once. From behind - the goblins shot by silver arrows from allies scream, the floating pixie is shot through its wings and crashes, my men who were concentrating on the enemy in front of me are also wounded by the sudden and indiscriminate attack... ...

　--uh!

　The merciless silver arrow that made no distinction between friend and foe pierced my shoulder as well.

　It's hot!　A searing pain rips at my shoulder.

　There is no lethal damage. However, a pain as strong as being poured boiling water over me hit me.

　I couldn't resist retreating from the front lines and hiding behind the living mail.

　Allies......... I feel resentment and admiration for the enemy's attack, which would have been ordered by the Demon King Arisa.

''Everyone retreat behind the Living Mail!　Living Mail, hold your shields up and prepare for an arrow attack!

　I give orders to everyone from behind the Living Mail. I'll spare you the experience, but even if I stay on the defensive, the enemy will scatter their lives with their own allies' bows and arrows.

　Nevertheless, it's not wise to continue to be on the defensive.

　I had to take a countermeasure.
