The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 39: Preparation
Beyond the vast plains where the Alliance Army was marching lay an extensive dense forest, a sea of trees. Whether they cut through or detour, it would cost them time. It is a perfect opportunity for us to strike.
“Annest will be using the most magic… How well the other four can support her will be crucial.”
As I said, Shini, Divias, and Kiruru waiting at the rendezvous point, showed no hesitation, only smiles.
“Leave it to us!”
“Sure, it’ll be a breeze.”
“We’ll do it in one go.”
Their smiles were not just for show; they were brimming with confidence. And at their feet lay the piled bodies of the few hundred Alliance Army troops who had ventured into the forest as an advance party.
“We’ve got the positions of their sensing, barrier, and communication units, and everything else, thanks to Jar-kun ♪ Once the main army enters the dense forest… we’ll strike swiftly. ♪”
“That’s right. Then we’ll hit them hard… and slowly wear down the rest… That should deal a significant blow.”
The bodies strewn about were all lifeless. They had been annihilated mercilessly.
“Anyway, the Alliance Army’s commander is Lovely’s sister… I wonder what she thinks of us now.”
Shini, who had already severed ties with her father and childhood friend, mused, to which Lovely responded with a bittersweet smile.
“I don’t know. My sister has never been involved in romance, always busy with the kingdom and the coalition. If she supports me, I’d like to save her… She won’t be able to have fun with Jar-kun, but she could abandon her duties and live leisurely with us.
It’s unlikely. From afar, even though she lacked martial prowess, her aura and gaze suggested she wouldn’t waver easily… But then again, not long ago, they all had that same look in their eyes…
“I might have a hard time fighting Vaginua… But I have no choice.”
They all had connections with the enemy, be it friends or family. Divias expressed her feelings in a complex tone.
“Vaginua is against this kind of romance… But if Jar-kun loves her, she might fall for him easily… She’s a virgin, after all…”
“No. I don’t want less time with Jar-kun or reduced contact while our team plays.”
“I know. I wouldn’t like it either. But unlike Shini’s father or the prince, she hasn’t rejected me and Jar-kun yet…”
Yes, they were ruthless against their enemies. If they saw someone as an enemy, they would not hesitate to kill, even if it was their own family or friends. But if someone did not become their enemy, those who had not completely lost their emotions might still hesitate. If these hesitations could be exploited, perhaps they might face some struggles…
“If there’s hesitation, we can alter the plan. If this operation goes through, most will perish, and there might not even be bodies left to recover. The strategy of swiftly hunting them down leaves no time for discussion with the enemy.”
There’s a possibility of creating an opening for the “unexpected” if they show weakness now, depending on their commands…
“Yes, it’s true. Killing Vaginua and the others without a clear answer might haunt us forever… but…”
However, Divias, caressing her belly, added…
“But if this softness endangers this child… I would regret it for lifetimes.”
So, that’s how it is…
“Then, I’ll kill. Even without knowing the answers.”
My attempt to make them waver backfired. I had hoped to subtly influence them into struggling more, but it only seemed to solidify their resolve.
“Mmm… Enough talk for now. They’re finally coming into view.”
The enemy was making their appearance. They must be aware of the vast, dense forest and sea of trees here. With their scouts and advance troops not returning and communications cut, they must be on high alert, anticipating our move here. But…
“No change in their formation since we last checked… Alright, Annest, prepare for ‘Mountain’ and ‘Sky.'”
“Yes, my dear.”
“Shini and Divias, prepare for ‘Earth.'”
“Ready whenever!”
“Then, Kiruru… Lovely… once more than half of the enemy enters the forest… we begin.”
“Understood ♥”
Regardless, it seems we’re heading towards an overwhelming annihilation…
