After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King
Chapter 244 - 119: The Loss is Not Big

Chapter 244: Chapter 119: The Loss is Not Big

"Disperse to the wings."

"Advance."

"Black Knights! [Death Strike] ready... Fire!"

"Keep advancing!"

*Yila’s voice echoed across the battlefield, a series of clear yet vague commands, telling the magical creatures what to do but leaving enough room for flexibility.*

*There truly was no need to think... step by step, the magical creatures rushed into the encirclement as if they had no brains, only to be slaughtered by the Black Knights and pierced by the Headless Knights.*

*Satan Ye stared wide-eyed at the scene; the battle was nearing its end, the impact of the beast tide had long lost its initial strength, and the battle had turned into chaotic skirmishes and encounters.*

*The mages’ roles were no longer as prominent, and their safety was no longer guaranteed.*

"Mechanical Bodies, protect the mages and archers... shooters, advance slowly."

Yila commanded, continuously assessing the battlefield, "The next bombing targets are the last surviving forces of the magic beasts closest to the forest! Tear apart their reinforcements! Fire!"

With the final batch of spell bombings, the thunderous roar declared the complete dismantling of the beast tide.

*There was no need to elaborate further; if it were the Empire, the army would certainly fall into chaos, with troops fighting over military merits right away. But in the Demon King Territory, it was different.*

*Everyone perfectly followed Yila’s final command, which was...*

[Keep advancing]

*The troops moved forward like a precise machine, maintaining a steady pace, exuding a crushing force that seemed capable of destroying everything in its path... No wonder they could so successfully confront the beast tide head-on.*

"Spread out, form a battle line at the forest perimeter, fight independently."

This was Yila’s final instruction... the magical creatures immediately formed a long defense line in the forest near the Demon King Territory, perfectly protecting the distance between the forest and the Demon King Territory.

Of course, many magical creatures also scattered from the other end of the forest, heading toward other territories, but there was no need to intercept them.

The bulk of the beast tide had really charged toward the Demon King Territory.

...

With the end of the battle, the leaders returned to the city walls, leaving the rest to the warriors... they no longer needed to join the fray.

"Wow..."

Satan Ye exclaimed, witnessing Yila take over command and lead the troops in a counterattack, even enveloping half of Grier Forest like a Dyson Sphere surrounding the sun... Truly impressive.

*It wasn’t that her command was flawed; it was just the visual impact was different. To illustrate... it was like two people playing a baseball game.*

*Yes, similar to a machine with a large cannon-like barrel that continuously fired balls, requiring a person on the other side to hit each one with a bat... as seen in many anime.*

*Satan Ye stood still, ensuring she wasn’t hit by any balls while consistently hitting each one... impressive in its own right.*

But when Yila took over the bat, he hit the balls while charging forward, blocking the machine, his bat swinging so swiftly it left afterimages, striking each ball quickly.

It felt exactly like that.

"Are these the magical creatures and magic beasts you saved, Yila?"

Hilena remarked, observing the noisy little magical creatures and magic beasts behind Yila, speaking helplessly, "They don’t even fight each other?"

Indeed, many magic beasts naturally shared hostile relationships, yet they remained harmonious at the moment... However, back in the forest, they would continue their predator-prey relations.

This was the allure of nature.

"Yes, it took some effort to save them... those rampaging magic beasts were completely controlled by violent thoughts, no longer releasing magic attacks."

As Yila spoke, he gently placed his hand on Satan Ye’s shoulder, softly repairing the previously shattered Crimson Dragon wings once more.

"Charging through such a forest and emerging unscathed is already impressive."

Senata said, her belly bulging as if she’d eaten and drunk her fill, wiping off the magic beast blood from her mouth, "So, what exactly happened? What transpired in Grier Forest?"

Indeed, many leaders were still unclear about the circumstances.

"It might not be limited to Grier Forest; similar occurrences could be happening in most four-legged magic beast habitats globally... and it only affects magic beasts that walk on four legs."

As Yila spoke, he gestured to the flying, crawling, and primate-like magic beasts, indicating they weren’t affected. "I don’t know the exact cause; we need experts to investigate... or witches to attempt it."

But maybe there wasn’t much necessity; if the event was worldwide, the mages at the Three Towers would investigate, and the truth would soon come to light.

As Yila spoke, he glanced at the forest, no longer spewing magical beasts, "I wonder if other territories are prepared for the beast tide."

In response to Yila’s words, Lodya, now finished cleaning the blood off her armor, conveyed from the black flames on her head, "Don’t worry, Mr. Yila... We’ve killed many magic beasts; the remaining ones should be manageable for them."

*Such an "even they" statement sounded somewhat disdainful...*

*Even though it was indeed true; with their interception, the magic beasts that escaped wouldn’t form a "tide," at least not a flood covering the ground.*

*Every territory could handle it, though...*

*The regions controlled by magical creatures consisted of many forests and grasslands, inhabited by many four-legged magical beasts; it couldn’t be just Grier Forest, resembling the formation of a beast tide elsewhere too.*

*One could only hope they withstand it.*

...

At this time, the losses in the Demon King Territory were also tallied...

"The loss report: 1 Black Knight lost, 1200 Little Demons dead, 0 Headless Knights lost, one Headless Warhorse, 3 Insect Men dead, Succubus..."

Hilena summarized the damage, noting it was minimal for an unexpected event... Though not too large, each counted the losses, often one or two individuals.

*If Yila hadn’t taken command, the numbers could have increased...*

*So... it now depended on the other territories.*
