Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...
"Spread out to both flanks."
"Proceed."
"Black Knight! [Death Strike], prepare... release!"
"Keep pushing forward!"
Yinla's voice echoed across the battlefield in simple terms, giving clear but vague instructions that told the monsters what to do while allowing for sufficient flexibility.
It really didn't require any brainpower... In the step-by-step battle, those monsters were like mindless creatures, simply charging into the encirclement time and time again, only to be killed by the Black Knight or pierced by the Headless Knight.
Satan Ye stared wide-eyed. The battle was nearing its end. The beast tide had lost its initial impact and had transformed from a major battle into a chaotic skirmish.
The role of mages is no longer as significant, and their safety is no longer guaranteed.
"Constructs protect mages and archers...shooters, advance slowly."
Yinla gave the orders, constantly assessing the battlefield situation, and said, "The next target for bombing is the last remaining forces of the monsters closest to the forest! Tear apart their reinforcements! Fire!"
With the final wave of magical bombardment, the roar signaled the complete collapse of the beast tide.
What happened next is self-evident. If it were an empire, the army would be in chaos, with troops immediately fighting each other for military merit. But things were different in the Demon King's territory.
Everyone perfectly carried out Yinla's final order, which was...
[Keep moving forward]
The troops advanced at a steady, uniform pace, carrying a destructive force that seemed capable of destroying everything... With such a powerful spirit, it's no wonder they were able to defeat the beast tide head-on.
"Spread out and form a battle line on the outskirts of the forest, each fighting their own battle."
This was Yinla's final instruction... The combat-class monsters immediately formed a long defensive line in the forest near the Demon King's territory, perfectly protecting the distance between the forest and the Demon King's territory.
Of course, many more monsters scattered from the other side of the forest, heading towards other territories, but that's not the part that needs to be stopped.
The majority of the beast tide has indeed rushed to the Demon King's territory.
...
With the end of the great battle, the leaders returned to the city walls, leaving the rest to the soldiers... they no longer needed to join in the fun.
"Wow……"
Satan Ye, watching everything, exclaimed in astonishment. She witnessed how, after Yinla took command, she immediately led the army to launch a counterattack, even partially enveloping the Greer Forest like a Dyson sphere enveloping the sun... It was truly amazing.
It's not that there's anything wrong with her direction, it's just that the visual impact is different. To give an example... it's like two people playing a baseball machine.
Yes, it's that kind of machine with a cannon-like muzzle that keeps bombarding balls, and someone on the other side has to use a baseball bat to knock them all away... It's very common in many anime.
Satan Yeh is essentially standing still, ensuring she doesn't get hit by the ball while always managing to hit it... For her, that's already quite impressive.
After taking the bat, Yimra kept hitting the ball while rushing forward, blocking the machine. His bat left afterimages as he swiftly sliced each ball away.
That's exactly how it feels.
"Are these the monsters and magical beasts that you rescued, Yinla?"
As she said this, Shirina looked at the chattering little monsters and magical beasts behind Yinla and said with a hint of helplessness, "They don't even fight?"
Indeed, many magical beasts are natural enemies, but they are living together peacefully here at the moment... However, after returning to the forest, the relationship of hunting and being hunted will continue.
That's the charm of nature.
"Yes, it took me some effort to save them... Those rampaging magical beasts are a bit off; they've been completely controlled by their berserk thoughts and can no longer unleash magical attacks."
As Yinla spoke, he gently pressed down on Satan Ye's shoulder, softly repairing the previously shattered crimson dragon wings.
"It's already quite impressive to be able to rush into such a forest and escape unscathed."
As she spoke, Senata's belly bulged as if she had eaten and drunk her fill. Wiping the monster blood from the corner of her mouth, she said, "So, what exactly happened? What happened in Greer Forest?"
Yes, many leaders are still unaware of the details of the matter.
"It's probably not just the Greer Forest; similar things have likely happened in most of the habitats of four-legged magical beasts, and the scope could very well be worldwide... and it only affects four-legged magical beasts."
As he said this, Yinla gestured to the flying, crawling, and primate magical beasts to indicate that they were unaffected. He said, "I don't know the specific reason either. We need to ask professionals to investigate... or the liches to try it out."
But that's probably unnecessary. If the incident really happened worldwide, then the mages of the Three Towers will investigate it, and the truth will come to light soon.
As he said this, Yinla looked towards the forest where monsters had stopped emerging and said, "I wonder if the other territories are prepared to deal with the beast tide."
In response to Yinla's words, Lothia, who had wiped the blood off her armor, also conveyed her voice from the black flames on her head: "No need to worry, Mr. Yinla... We have already killed many magical beasts, and we can handle the rest."
This kind of "even if it's them" rhetoric really makes it feel like they're looking down on people...
While this is indeed the case, under such careful interception, the released monsters will no longer constitute a "tide," at least not the kind of tide that is as vast as a flood and cannot be seen from the ground.
It's something every territory could easily handle, but it's a troublesome matter...
The areas controlled by monsters are mostly forests and grasslands, and many four-legged monsters inhabit them. It's certainly not just Greer Forest that's prone to monster tides.
All we can do is pray that they held on.
...
At this time, the losses of the Demon King's territory were also tallied...
"The loss statistics are as follows: 1 Black Knight lost, 1200 Lesser Demons died, 0 Headless Horsemen lost, 1 Headless Warhorse died, 3 Insectoids died, and... "
Sylina reported the extent of the injuries one by one. For a sudden incident, the number of casualties was very small... although it was indeed not too large, as they were all two or three people.
However, if Inra hadn't taken over command, that number might have increased...
So... the rest depends on the other territories.
