The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 41: Division

Originally, the army numbered in the tens of thousands. However, their excessive caution in the jungle, where traps and battles were the only things to be conscious of, had dispersed their forces significantly…

“Let’s begin, shall we? A trembling mountain, you say?”

First, Annest, with a smile on her face, moved. Using vast magical power, she created a huge earthquake-like tremor. The Alliance forces in the jungle reacted immediately to the earthquake.

“Tremor?! Halt all troops!”

“Stay alert in the vicinity! Deploy the mage unit! Create a large-area barrier!”

They quickly deployed a large magical barrier to protect their allies. Even Annest, as powerful as she was, couldn’t easily break through that barrier with her grand magic.

However, what Annest was doing wasn’t a direct magical attack on the Alliance forces.

“What… this tremor, it’s not over yet…”

“What are you planning…? Wait!”

“Oh no!”

The soldiers deep in the thick jungle hadn’t expected this.

“Hehehe, you see, I had already made the mountains prone to collapse based on my husband’s advice. Hehehe, the barrier might block a magical attack alone, but what about a natural disaster that transforms the terrain?”

In the dense jungle, they might have anticipated magical attacks or ambushes. Still, they hadn’t foreseen the massive tremor causing a sudden landslide in the mountains, with the soil and debris cascading indiscriminately into the jungle.

“This is bad!”

“Don’t panic! Both mages and infantry gather closely and withstand the flow!”

“With this level of landslide, the enemy won’t be able to launch an attack within this torrent! First, ensure the formation of our army doesn’t break!”

“Regroup and brace for the landslide!”

They calmly acted in the face of the avalanche-like soil and debris, which pushed down trees and flowed like a wall. Yes, there were capable commanders among them. They were maintaining control of the army without getting flustered.

However, it didn’t matter.

Our aim wasn’t to annihilate the army within the jungle.

“Alright, the momentum of the soil and debris has stopped! All troops, quickly run deeper while staying alert to the surroundings!”

“Wait, the priority is to assess the situation! Establish communication with the headquarters!”

Yes, that’s the right approach.

In this situation, getting out of the jungle as soon as possible should take precedence.

Well, that’s fine.

“That’s well done. The mountain traps alone won’t lead to a complete collapse. Now, from the sky… Ah, before that, a healing potion I co-produced with my husband! Sip Mmm… Gulp ♥”

While praising the Alliance forces, Annest, with a seductive expression, drank a healing potion, savored it, and cast her magic with a lascivious smile.

“Planetary Magic: Shooting Star.”

This time, countless arrows of light rained down from the sky.

“Captain! M-Magic attacks from the sky!”

“Damn, it’s finally here… But, while the range and quantity are substantial, it’s not that formidable of magic!”

“Infantry, raise your shields!”

Annest’s widespread magical attack. If the power is restrained, it can attack a wide area.

This should further immobilize them.

“What’s this?! There seems to be a battle deep in the forest… It looks like they’ve finally shown themselves!”

“Strengthen the defense of the headquarters!”

“No, let’s head to the reinforcements right away! The enemy is launching a large-scale attack!”

“Communication unit! Find a way to contact the troops inside!”

The headquarters waiting outside the forest also became chaotic, trying to assess the situation inside…

“Oh, look over there. It’s the magic communication unit, isn’t it?”

“The positioning information is all messed up in this chaos! Including the messengers, they’re all in disarray!”

In this situation where they couldn’t even grasp the positions of their allies, stability in the chain of command was key. So, they could simply cut it off.

In an emergency, the generals communicated with the messengers, and the messengers rushed to the magic communication unit to convey the information eloquently.

That’s where Lovely and Kiruru intervened.

“One-Shot Massacre: Lovely Arrow Shot.”

“Fukunamu Slaughter Blossom.”

Long-range shooting from outside the enemy’s perception. Using Lovely’s incredible archery skills and Kiruru’s unique throwing knives called “Kunai,” they pierced their targets.

The messengers and the mages.

With that done…

“Ugh, contact the headquarters… Huh? Hey, what’s going on? Hey, someone! Why is telepathy… cut off?”

“Telepathy… has been severed! Why?”

“Wait a moment! What’s the current situation?”

Losing their command structure until now, the battlefield descended into chaos.

“Hehehe, now both the troops inside the jungle and outside are without information about the situation, and even our overall deployment and status still need to be discovered… And that’s when I’ll continue to thrive.”

There, Annest aimed at the jungle and unleashed a wide-range spell. While the power was reduced due to the wide area, it was still enough to keep them occupied.

“Captain, what should we do?”

“A powerful mage… could it be the Demon Lord himself… or…”

“This is getting us nowhere! Let’s try to find and eliminate the mages acting as artillery!

“Wait, don’t panic! The power could be better. The power is weak because she’s spreading it over a wide area. If we raise our shields alongside the magic barriers, we should be able to endure it! Besides, she’s constantly casting magic like this, so her magical power will run out soon. Endure until then! And hurry to restore communication with the headquarters!”

Yes, the judgment was to endure rather than rush in right away, considering that immediate action would be dangerous and the situation wasn’t that much of a threat. The entire army came to a halt. Moreover, it would be challenging to turn back in the dense jungle where the footing was poor and swift movement was impossible.

Now…

“Well, let’s finish this quickly, Divias-chan ♥”

“Yes, after showing off in front of Jar-kun, we’ll have some intimate moments again once it’s over ♥”

The only thing left is to reduce their numbers and hunt down the headquarters, where there will be no reinforcements.
