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...
"It's retreated?"
The leader of the Gorgons, with her head covered in smooth, densely packed snakes, muttered to herself in confusion... The Demon King's territory didn't think much of them, and they had only brought a small number of soldiers with them when they came.
So, although they still didn't know why they had fallen into a disadvantageous position, they were still able to hold on... But at this moment, the battlefield, which should have been relatively tense, began to advance continuously.
It was as if the Headless Horseman, the Black Knight, and the lesser demons had all lost the power to resist.
"What happened?"
The Gorgon leader spoke with a puzzled expression, glancing at the three siren leaders standing indifferently behind her... Mermaids, Nagas, and merfolk were not her subordinates; their relationship was more like a cooperative one.
The Gorgons provided them with their territory, while the three sirens provided the Gorgons with pearls and treasures with their race. The cooperation was quite pleasant.
There were no siren troops on the battlefield, because this was not part of the cooperation.
"Is that...Ira, Ira Elkaras?"
As the mermaid leader spoke, she looked at the human boy flying high in the distance, then at the Gorgon leader who nodded in response, and said, "You don't recognize him?"
"I know him. He's a powerful figure with strength similar to the Demon King. I heard he betrayed the empire."
As the Gorgon spoke, the "Demon King" she referred to was not Satanie, but rather Satanie's father—the old Demon King who died at the hands of Ira.
This attitude is quite ordinary, the kind of ordinary that shouldn't appear in the description of Ira by the monster.
"Oh, I see..."
The merfolk leader responded in this way. She looked at the rapidly retreating demon army and Ira, who was hanging high in the sky. She realized that the Gorgon leader was only treating the [Governor] as a regular hero unit.
The monsters' defeat was not due to the number of [Governors], but rather to the [Power] of the [Governors]. The three of them understood this even more deeply than the Gorgon leader before them.
If we're being honest, Ira Elkaras is indeed a powerful figure with strength similar to the former Demon Lord... but if Ira were facing someone other than the old Demon Lord, then the terror she embodies would go beyond what the word "powerful" can describe.
"Are they... not going to fight? Hmph~"
The Gorgon leader chuckled, but she wasn't too happy. After all, she knew that the Demon King's territory would send more troops later, and the number of troops would be much larger than this.
"After this, we might have to consider escaping to other countries, probably to a duchy... Why don't you pack your things and come along?"
Upon receiving the invitation from the Gorgon leader, the three siren leaders exchanged glances. Then, the Naga leader nodded to this leader, who also possessed serpentine characteristics, and replied, "Alright, let's go together then..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three sirens had gone quite a distance when the mermaid leader couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to flee to the duchy with them? If we surrender directly, will Ira Elkaras and His Highness the Demon King let us go?"
"Absolutely not."
The merfolk leader's face was grim, her beautiful features filled with fear for the future. She spoke in a daze, "We must escape! Escape now! Take our entire tribe and flee towards the beastman kingdom immediately!"
"That's right, we'll take the waterway; we'll get on a boat first, and then abandon ship and swim away once the pursuers get close."
The Naga leader swallowed hard as she spoke, saying, "That fool thought she had won temporarily—the moment Ira appeared on the battlefield, her allies began to evacuate... Doesn't she understand what that means?"
As the three of them swiftly left the center of the territory and headed towards their respective domains... a blazing light shone from behind them, casting their shadows long.
it's over.
Medusa... is finished.
——————————
"Amazing, so amazing, truly incredible."
"..."
The Gorgon leader, still pondering how to evacuate, heard the female voice beside her. She turned to look at the duchy mage who had recruited them and replied, "Of course, but once the Demon King's main force arrives, we'll be powerless."
Clearly, the Gorgon thought Vereesa Ilúvatar was praising their strength... but in reality, it was pretty much true, since only when their strength reached a certain level could they provoke Ira to take action.
Vereesa didn't answer, but looked at Ira with a bright smile and said, "Then you will get the reward you were promised. You just need to go to the principality to report."
As Vereesa Ilúvatar spoke, her body gradually faded.
"where you go?"
The Gorgon leader asked in confusion.
"Ah, I'll go find a spot with a good view~ Thank you, Miss Medusa Decorace~"
After a polite thank you, the strange hooded half-elf disappeared, leaving behind only a bewildered Gorgon leader... The guards accompanying her had no idea what Vereesa was talking about.
But they quickly realized something was wrong.
——————————
"Fourth Wing Pillar - Steel Golem - Wing Shatter!"
As the resounding voice echoed across the silent battlefield, Ira, with both phantom crimson dragon wings and futuristic steel wings appearing behind her, pulled the trigger with those words.
