The front lines of the defense line were filled with angry shouts and crashes.

'd*mn it!　This armor is hard!
So there were other forces at work besides the ghouls...!
'This is the moment of truth!　Charge!　Charge!　Attack!

　Controlled hatred (hate), humanity rushes to the shield-slamming Living Mail and the posing, perverted rabbit.

'Haha!　Let's get in and eat!
Taka, would you like to compete?
Baka!　I can't afford to count!

　Takahar and Setanta happily rage against humanity.

''-- 《Fire Lance》!　
Ruh-lease!　That's none of your business!

　Sarah laughs happily as she releases a spear of fire into the face of the attacking humanity from behind Takahar, and Takahar fires a spinning kick at the nearby humanity as if he were taking it out on them.

''Let go!　Get off me!　Let me go!　Carve the majesty of Lord Zion with the foolish human race!

　Chloe continues to shoot arrows without taking aim at the group of human beings rushing in from the rear to avoid hitting the frontline fighters.

''-- Ice Bullet!　Red!　Your defenses are getting sparse!

　Leila and the rest of the Dhampir group followed Red and the other ogres fighting on the front lines, firing ice bullets at them.

Windshield!　It's no use!

　Flora and the rest of the Lilim group were following their subordinates by deploying barriers against the arrows and magic released from the humanity behind them.

''This is the best place to be!
Oh.... A clever one.

　Blue and Kotetsu had been tasked with slashing humanity from behind as they swarmed the Hibiki.

　The battle situation is dominant.

　The reason for the superiority could be said to be the strength of the individuals.......but the biggest factor is fatigue.

　The main unit of the Kanazawa Liberation Army, which had been returning from Hakusan City, had been fighting 5,000 ghouls until about three hours ago, and had fought the main unit of Demon King Kaoru just a few moments ago, and now, without a break in their rest, they were heading back to Ishikawa University.

　He might have been able to rest a little while on the move, but it was obvious that he was exhausted.

　If this continues, the success of the Ruling is a certainty.

　I use my smartphone to check the situation in the surrounding 5km once again.

　Hm?

　--Sablew!　Take your troops and move to the positions you've been instructed to take!

　Some humans have bypassed the defense line and are headed for Ishikawa University. There are about 500 of them. I order Sablew, who was standing by as a separate task force, to intercept the humans who tried to bypass the line. Since the detachment has 100 men, I order the 500 subordinates from the defense line to move to the position I instructed Sablew to take as well.

'Awe!　Team J. Let's start the move!

　Team J? If Sabraw's unit has a name, it's the Third Rangers.

　J? What's the acronym?

　After watching the battle situation for about five minutes, Saburou and the rest of the third ranger unit met up with the humans who were trying to bypass them.

''Hmph........ Unlucky humanity. You may have been trying to be false, but you cannot escape the clairvoyance of this Lord of the Abyss - Darkness Dracul III.

　Saburou, led by the former Demon King's elite and Dhampir, blocked the path of the humans who were trying to bypass it.

　The map of the vicinity that can be understood by the side effects of 《Ruling》 is a useful function that can be called clairvoyant...........but it's definitely not Subrow's ability.

''d*mn!　I didn't know the enemy was lurking in this place!
They are few... I'll charge through it!
"Named......... Be on your guard.........

　Confronted by Saburo and the others, humanity takes up a weapon in its hands and gets into a combat stance.

　Named. That is to say, it has a name - a subordinate. That perception is correct, but the human race wouldn't think that the pervert in front of them who called himself the Dark One wasn't a demon but a former demon king (former human race).

''A few?　Hahaha!　I have been underestimated!　We are the friends of Lord Theon, the Joker.　Curse the misfortune of meeting us and die!

　Team Joker...?　Is the J an acronym for Joker?

　The mystery I mentioned earlier has been solved, but it would be bad if they thought I was the godfather........

　--Saburo, don't let any of the humans there get out alive!　And don't give me any funny names for the unit I gave you!

　It is a well known fact to mankind that the godfather of the Military is the Demon King. If there is any human being who has survived, there is a danger that they will spread the word that I am a demon king who names his troops with the shameful name of Dark Lord and his troops with the fragrant name of Joker.

"Don't worry my dear Lord Zion. I'll offer you their lifeblood!

　Saburo drops his mouth in a theatrical gesture. I need to teach him that what Saburo is dedicating to me is not living blood, but living shame.......

　With my head in my hands, the battle between Saburo and the rest of humanity has begun.

''I'll match it, okay?''

　Saburou signals the two former demon kings of the bloodsucking species with his gaze. The two bloodsucking former demon kings silently shake their heads.

''Surrounded by the deep dark wind, let's go to our eternal slumber, ''--[Dark Night Tempest]''

　A dark storm released by Saburo and his two lackeys enveloped humanity.

''Come on!　We are named the Joker and you will put our power into them!

　Following Saburou's orders, the former demon kings of the demon species, beast species, demon race species, and slime species charge into humanity.

''Huh.......Sarah Tan's breath is stirring inside me. ''Ladies?　Are you ready?　Let's go!

Thunderstorm!

　Saburou unleashes a purple-electric storm along with the female elf species and the former demon king of the fairy species.

　The former demon king of the demonic species isn't an assault, but add it to the magic over here.......

　Although there are many things to tweak, the individual strength of the former Demon Kings are tremendous and hold down the difference in numbers with their individual strength.

''Emperor Astor's executive - Darkness Dracul III. Let's go!　--Fast Thrust!

　In the end, Saburou himself held his stabbing sword at the ready and attacked the human group.


　◆


　Twenty minutes remained until the completion of the 《Governance》.

　The defensive line remains intact, and Saburou and the rest of the 3rd raiding party are successfully holding back the humans who have been bypassing the area.

　The former Demon King unit is strong. The third raiding unit is not coordinated, but it is overwhelmed by its individual strength.

　The former Demon Kings assigned to the 3rd Brigade are different from Takahar and Sarah and the others, they are not specialized types. Since they also wielded BP for creation and smelting, they feel weaker compared to the executive former Demon King... but who is stronger, the former Demon King of the demon species or Red?　Who is stronger, the former demon king of the bloodsucking species or Leila?

　I felt that the 《Ruling》 would be successful even without giving any detailed instructions, and I was comparing the strength of my smartphone's live video while switching between the Sub-Row perspective and Kotetsu perspective.

　The former Demon King has more of a habit of fighting. In contrast, the created underlings' fighting style is monotonous. They fight the enemy without fear of pain or death.

　The created followers and the former Demon King's followers - both fighting styles have their strengths and weaknesses.

　Unless you're a surpassing strength like Takahar or Sarah... but if not, is the obedient created subordinate more useful?

　However, the former Demon Lord is a creature with no cooperation at all........

　I look at the 3rd ranger unit fighting as they please and sigh.

　Well, let's just focus on analyzing the Kanazawa Liberation Army's war potential.

　The greatest characteristic of the Kanazawa Liberation Army is--their coordination.

　''Platoon?　Squad?　A party?　I'm not sure what to describe it as, but they were thorough in pairs of twelve. Covering each other's blind spots and backing up if they lost an injury. Roles were also categorized like the game: attacker, tank, and healer.

　In terms of individual strength, we are the better team. If the average value of their individual strength is 10, the average value of the Kanazawa Liberation Army's individual strength is 5. The average individual strength of the Kanazawa Liberation Army is 5 x 12 x 1.5 = 90, not 5 x 12. Then the strength of the Kanazawa Liberation Army would be 90 x 10, which is 900.

　The factor that makes the difference in power between the individuals is the items they are equipped with. If they had the same equipment, they might have been able to break through if they were poorly equipped. Above all, the Kanazawa Liberation Army is tired. If they had a perfect system, they might have struggled even if they had won with equipment.

　The formation of the troops and the ability to work together are the issues we need to address in the future.

　I continued to analyze the enemy's strength while looking ahead to future battles.
