It's the tenth day since the Demon King Arisa declared war on us.

　The number of invading enemies was visibly decreasing, and it seemed like the enemy's army was about to run out of strength.

''Do you think they'll come again today?''
Hmm, what do you think?　Yesterday, I'm pretty sure we stopped with about a hundred bodies, right?
Yeah.

　As far as I can confirm, Arisa has a dozen surviving members of her household, and if she can use her LP capacity to the limit, she could bring more than a hundred demons under her command. I don't think they'll be sparing in their war effort at this point in time.

''Is it time to start the counterattack?
'Yes. But I'd get invaded again if I could, but...

　--Beeeeeeeeee!

　My prayers were answered, and my smartphone emitted an electronic sound that announced the enemy's invasion.

　I checked the entrance to the twenty-sixth controlled area that had been invaded by the smartphone's live video, and about fifty demons appeared, along with their familiar servants.

''Oh?　It's a different structure this time around.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

''Have they gathered the demons that guard each dominion area?
I don't know. Either way, it means Demon King Alisa is in dire straits.

　My men were used to it, and as soon as the intrusion alarm on their smartphones sounded, they were about to grab their respective prey and head for the entrance to the twenty-sixth control area.

'Chloe,'
Ha!

　I call out to Chloe, who is holding her beloved bow--Icival.

"Chloe's troops will be waiting here.
I'm awestruck, sir!
'Rest?!'

　Blue shouts out in delight as he orders Chloe's troops to stand by, and one of them shouts for joy.

''This time we will destroy all the invading enemies!
""Ha!"

　It's about time for my family members who have been kept alive to leave as well.

　I, along with my morale boosted subordinates, passed through the 【Transition Device】 and headed for the entrance of the 26th dominant area.


　◆


　Near the entrance of the twenty-sixth controlled realm, the invaders had begun a fierce battle with the Living Mailers, who had already been defending the area for twenty-four hours.

　Had the enemy abandoned their numbers and come to compete on quality?

　If so, let's overwhelm them with strength in numbers.

　This time, we mobilized all of our forces from the beginning. We won't be tempted to make a first or second line of attack. With all of our combined military strength, we set our enemies against a total of about 60 members of the Demon King's household under Arisa's control.

　In the air, giant bats soared through the air and sounded supersonic waves, while countless bows and arrows and magic rained down on the invaders from behind. On the ground, hordes of Wolves toyed with the enemy as a group, and countless ghouls rushed toward them.

　Then, one by one, Lina and the others tore into the enemies whose movements were blocked and distracted by the ghouls and wolves.

　They are outnumbered by their individual strength. Moreover, with even the advantages of the ground, the enemies have no choice but to reduce their numbers one by one.

　I hope the level doesn't go up..... I stab the enemies in front of me with my gayborgs while hiding behind the living mail.

　It's a rare opportunity to gain experience in such large numbers and safely.

　I'm relieved to see my enemy's forces dwindling and I continue to wield my gayborg with mixed emotions of relief and sadness.

　When the number of enemies, including their subordinates, is less than 20....

''Retreat!　Move!　Retreat!

　The enemy would shout the usual lines and begin a losing run.

　Normally, I would have allowed this losing run to happen--

　--Chloe!　Use the feedback device to get around the entrance!　Don't let a single enemy escape!

　--Don't let any of them get away!

　He ordered Chloe's troops, who had been ordered to stand by, to give orders to chase and at the same time ordered a group of Wolves with excellent agility to stop the enemy.

''--?　You are an eyesore dog!

　Unlike in the past, the enemy is voicing their impatience with our formation, which does not allow them to be defeated.

　Once you experience it, you'll understand that defeating a defeated enemy is a moderately difficult thing to do.

　For that reason, I gave up chasing it and chose to chase it with magic.

　--《Dark Arrow》!

　Countless dark arrows rained down on the back of the defeated enemy. It was difficult to hit the fleeing enemy, but a few arrows pierced the enemy's back. I continued to fire the 《Dark Arrow》, being careful only to fire accidentally at my subordinates.

''Hahaha I'm almost there.......I'm going to survive and return to Alisa-sama--''
That's not possible.

　After escaping our pursuit, Blue's swinging axe cuts both sides of the Goblin Braver's face as he arrives at the entrance.

''--Wha!　Wha........why!
''Yaaaaaah!

　Arriving at the entrance, the enemies, who were relieved to have arrived at the entrance, are knocked down to despair by Chloe and the others who ambushed them at the entrance.

'I owe it to my master!　You can't miss a single one!

　Chloe and the others spread out to the side and held their weapons as if to block the path of the defeated enemy.

''Uh, uh, uh, wow--''
Phew!

　The goblin fighters raise their weapons in desperation, but Guy, who has caught up with them from behind, slashes at them with his sharp claws. After that, the enemy, surrounded by Lina and the others closing in from behind and Chloe and the others blocking their path, attacked with a desperate determination, but they were outnumbered.

　In less than 10 minutes, all of the invaders fell to the ground.


　◆


　After destroying all the invaders, my men were given an hour's rest.

'Lina,'
What?
There's no limit to the number of people we can invade this time but how many do we need?
'Well......... Depending on the enemy's remaining strength, the usual members will be fine.

　Lina is a little troubled, but eventually replies that the usual members are fine.

''I don't mind invading with more than a hundred of them in tow, okay?
'If Theon wants it, he will comply but it may delay the invasion, don't you think?
I knew it?
'It's not easy to get aligned with a hundred bodies. I don't have the experience to begin with.
All right. In the meantime, I want you to invade with one hundred of your men as far as the entrance to the dominion. From there, the usual suspects will take over. You have 20 days. Do you think you can control all nine of them with Chloe's army in that time?
I'll do my best.

　This time, the speed of the invasion will be important as well as the safety of Lina and the rest of the rare dispositions.

　I'm not the one who will be invading. I've decided to respect the opinion of Lina, who has a lot of experience in invading dominion territory.

Lina, Chloe, it's up to you.
I'm on a mission.
'Ha!　I will do my master a favor!

　I, along with canon, saw off the departure of Lina and Chloe's troops, as well as the three hundred subordinates in case of emergency.


　◆


　Ten days after Lina and Chloe's troops began their invasion of Demon King Arisa's dominion territory.

　The invasion of the dominion realm was going well; the Demon King Arisa's dominion realm, which used to be nine, had now been reduced to three.

　The Demon King Arisa must have staked everything on the first 10 days after the Declaration of War - the invasion of my control territory. There were hardly any demons to protect in the Demon King Arisa's dominion territory that I had invaded from here. I was fed up with the complex maze-like structure, but other than that, there were no obstacles that I could call obstacles, and I controlled the control area smoothly.

　Currently, Lina and the others had conquered eight levels, and Chloe and the others had conquered nine levels.

　If the pace continues at this rate, two more control areas will be mine by the end of today, and in three or four days there won't be a single Demon King in Kanazawa City who opposes me.

　What I'm worried about is the location of Demon King Arisa. Is she on the run after repeated relocations?　If that's the case, I hope and pray. If we confine ourselves to the last control area, Lina and Chloe can join us and start a battle.

　The risk of defeating the Demon King Alisa, which had been my biggest concern, will be reduced, which is really pleasing.

　When I gloat over the future that is heading towards the best........

　--Beeeeeeeeeeee!

　A violent electronic sound rang out from the smartphone.
