"roar!

"

Amidst the roar of the unknown dog-shaped monster, Yinla simply reached out and smashed it... truly smashed it, genuinely shattering it into fragments of bone and flesh.

There are no traces left on my body from this.

"This way! Speed ​​up!"

As Yinla shouted this, he flew swiftly towards the Demon King's territory, followed by a large group of small demons and monsters that had not yet entered a berserk state... not just the tree hole.

Almost wherever Yinla passed by, the forest dwellers regarded him as their savior and gathered around him... and perhaps it was indeed true, for only Yinla had the ability to rescue them now.

The unrest in the forest is becoming increasingly apparent.

Soon, this feeling of oppression will reach its peak...

Yinla moved forward, while the other people seeking help followed behind him... There were still quite a few berserk monsters around who had noticed the situation and rushed over, but they were all killed by Yinla one after another.

For some reason, the road, which was clearly extremely dangerous, seemed surprisingly safe.

Despite the constant howls and crackling flames along the way, it was surprisingly quiet...

In short, following Yimra's retreat meant you basically didn't need to worry about anything. All attacks were dealt with before you even noticed, and the speed of the operation was impeccable.

It moves very fast, but even the slowest companion can keep up if they try.

I feel so at ease.

...

"boom!"

Yinla leaped out of the forest, tearing a gap in the beast tide, while the little demons and monsters affected by the tide followed behind him.

They are safe now...

And it was at this very moment that Ira witnessed the outbreak of the beast tide.

Like the rising tide of the ocean, countless four-legged beasts surged out of the forest like madmen, knocking down trees and charging in all directions, gnawing on everything edible along the way.

This includes slower-moving berserk beasts.

——————————

"Stop them! Divert the pressure, stabilize the lines...prepare for the onslaught!"

Satan Ye shouted. She didn't know when it started, but she had become able to command a large army on her own. She looked at the dark mass of people surging in from afar and felt a little suffocated.

Faced with such a massive, overwhelming horde of magical beasts, she felt a lot of pressure.

"Huff...huff...Mr. Yinla, haven't you come back yet?"

Satan Ye spoke softly, then squeezed her eyes shut before raising them again. Looking at the approaching horde of beasts, she entered the demeanor befitting a demon lord, shouting, "Guards! Raise your shields!"

!

"Boom! Boom!"

The black knights, forming a highly rhythmic and uniform military formation, raised their shields one after another, while the headless knights behind them, holding lances, prepared themselves in the gaps between the shields.

Behind them were swarms of small demons... enough to ensnare any beast that might have missed them.

The beast tide was approaching at this moment, and many wild beasts discovered that there was flesh and blood to gnaw on in the Demon King's territory, so they tried to rush over... but they were quickly hit by the beasts coming straight from behind and trampled to death.

In other words, the Demon King's territory only needs to deal with the beasts that come straight at you; the rest of the beasts cannot stop or turn, and will only pass by the Demon King's territory.

This is good news, but the Demon King's territory still has a long front, much longer than the Demon King's territory itself, because... the excess beasts will flock to other territories, so at least some of them need to be dealt with in advance.

To shoulder some of the pressure in order to protect the other monsters.

"Long-range units!"

Satan Ye shouted, glancing around at the succubi, the insect hunters, and other monsters with ranged attack capabilities. She took a deep breath and yelled, "Free attack!"

!

As soon as the words were spoken, countless bone spikes, fireballs, and similar objects flew in unison towards the beast tide, like a dense and massive rain of arrows, relentlessly unleashing their firepower.

The monsters that were hit by the needles stopped whimpering almost immediately, and were then trampled into a pulp by their companions... The same was true for the monsters hit by wide-range magic.

Almost immediately, the first wave of the beast tide became less deadly.

At this moment, the beast tide reached the top of the battle line...

"roar!

!

"Awoo!"

!

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"

Amidst howls, the Black Knight collided with the beast horde, and was immediately slaughtered by the Black Knight and the headless knight behind him. The corpses piled up rapidly and were then devoured by the other beasts that surged up.

The beasts that were gnawing on the corpses were quickly trampled over by the beasts behind them... Back and forth, the pressure on the Demon King's territory was surprisingly small.

Even the large-scale destruction techniques prepared at the beginning were not used.

"..."

Vera, unlike her usual cheeky self, was chanting very seriously... She was a lich, a spellcaster, and her position had never been mentioned in the Demon Lord's territory.

But at least she's not a [Spell Researcher]; clearly, she's... a more combat-oriented position.

"...The souls born from this place return, reflecting the obscure and humble, illuminating the pale earth, and the prisons that were built are liberated from the mud, and the bodies are reshaped into human puppets."
