"Attack."
"Kill them!"
"Hahahaha!"
A series of roars resounded across the battlefield as thousands of demons ran toward the human army. They might be outnumbered two to one, but they had a big advantage.
The moment they came closer to their enemies, hundreds of succubus flew to the sky, releasing a pink magic circle.
"What is happening?"
"There are succubus here?"
"They're not supposed to come together with these demons."
"They will end up charming other demons as well."
"They're foolish."
"All shield bearers! Raise your shield. Just focus on what is in front of you. We've taken into account the possibility of you being charmed."
"That's right. Show how foolish they're by bringing only three thousand demons and succubus."
The humans formed a line of defense, preparing to take on the demons head-on.
However, the succubus managed to charm the humans in rapid succession. With their number, those they charmed immediately reached hundreds. In just a minute, they would charm at least a thousand soldiers.
As long as they maintained their charm spell, the demons could rampage as much as they liked.
Normally, the demons would stop as well because of the charm, but this time, none of the demons stopped in their tracks.
"What?!"
"The demons are not stopping."
"How are they not charmed by the succubus?"
"Prepare the long-range magic and archers."
The humans started to panic when they saw the demons coming into their formation. If they continued, they might crash into their charmed soldiers.
Because they expected the demons to stop as well, the humans hadn't prepared for their long-range magic and weapons, so no one could counter the demons' attack.
"Kill them all!" One demon roared to the top of his lungs.
"Uoh!"
A series of roars of acknowledged erupted, filling the entire battlefield. The demons on the very front had the liberty to take charge and were granted the honor to be the pioneer of this Bonked Army.
The moment they reached the human army, all these demons smashed their shields, bodies, and even heads, killing unmoved soldiers in a split second.
"What?!"
"The front line is collapsing."
"What is happening? Why are the demons not charmed by the succubus? Only us?"
The human commanders on the rear clutched his head while staring at how these demons massacred their army.
"NO! How is the preparation of the large-scale magic, and where is my crossbow squad?!"
One of his subordinates came to him, reporting. "The large-scale magic still needs one more minute. The crossbow squad is on their way to their position. We need at least half a minute."
"Half a minute?" The commander's anger erupted as he pointed at the demon army. "Are you blind? Can't you see that? Half a minute is enough to kill a thousand of our front army! Hurry up!"
"Y-yes!" His subordinate truly couldn't do anything. But it was better to slip away than to stay there, for who knew what would the commander do next.
The demons' rampage couldn't be stopped. They butchered all the humans on their way and immediately headed straight to the second army a few hundred feet away from the first line.
Unfortunately for them, the crossbow squad had reached their position. Several trebuchets, giant crossbows, as well as numerous archers had finally arrived behind the third line, aiming for the demons.
The catapults sent all the rocks, the giant crossbows released their big arrows, and the archers shot their arrows. Still, all of them were imbued by magic that would explode upon contact.
That was why the succubus that flew in the sky signaled the army. "They're coming. Turtle Squad!"
"Hahahaha!" A giant turtle who was carried by the demons laughed as he shouted. "Launch us to the front!"
Without hesitation, the demons threw him along with a hundred turtles to the very front.
"We usually couldn't participate in this kind of battle because of the succubus, but our minds are surprisingly clear. So, we shall dedicate this spell for this battle! We name this spell…" The giant turtle smiled and raised his shell.
All other turtles also followed his actions and acted in unison. They all released their Magic Power and formed a huge barrier that looked like a turtle shell, covering the entire army.
"Anti-Horny Wall!"
"It's time for us, who are not horny, to be the greatest contributors to this war!"
When the arrows and stones rained upon them, the huge barrier received all of them.
"Boom."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of explosions occurred, but all of them were right on the shield that the turtle made, protecting the rest of the demons.
However, some of them managed to escape because they were released a bit higher and ended up hitting the middle of their army.
"Boom!"
"Uaaahhh!"
"Gooh!"
"Nooo!"
The demons were screaming in pain as they were engulfed by the explosions.
"We've taken a hit."
"You don't need to mind. Compared to our normal casualties, we need to thank them for stopping us from being horny, or we will suffer at least ten times by this time!"
"That's right. Demons. Spread to the left and right. Succubus, Please lead them. You have one job. Break through their lines and kill their commanders!"
"Hoo!"
The demons roared and looped around the turtles, making their way toward the second line. The succubus immediately charmed the soldiers so that the demons could kill them. It was quite exhausting to charm thousands of people, but seeing how they could kill them without casualty was enough to make them feel fired up.
Even if it was hard, they continued like crazy. Their charm only worked at a certain range, so those that attacked them from afar still kept raining them with arrows and stones.
However, it didn't matter as the demons already broke through their second line and started moving toward them.
Having no shield to protect them, the crossbow squad could only move back to the headquarters, but because of them, it was hard for the soldiers on the rear to march forward.
By the time they reached the demon army, they would be charmed too.
In the end, the demons slaughtered all of them and continued forward until they reached the camp where the commander was.
Unfortunately for them, the commander ended up escaping before the army collapsed. The demons were angry and killed the remaining soldiers.
…
In the distance, Raisa stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the battle progress.
"The casualties won't exceed two hundred… And we can kill at least four thousand soldiers and force the rest to treat… Compared to our usual rate, this is at least ten times if not twenty times better." Raisa's trusted subordinate reported her finding.
"This kind of effect can only be achieved because we've managed to take them by surprise. Tomorrow, they might have found out about them and created a plan to counter this strategy. So, even if you need to work them to the bone, do it. They need to at least kill twenty thousand human soldiers.
"There will be more demons like them coming tomorrow and the day after anyway. We will use them to take four of their strongholds and stop."
"Stop?" Her subordinate was confused. Normally, they would continue until they destroyed the entire kingdom.
However, Raisa shook her head. "If we go too deep, the other kingdoms will band together and close our escape route before thoroughly eliminating us with the sheer number. Our objective is one thing. Capture or kill their commanders. This should be a huge blow to the Risourin Kingdom but not enough to create a coalition.
"Then, according to the information… There's a possibility of us capturing the Great Sage and the Hero. Prepare an elite squad for that." Raisa waved her hand, looking ahead to what would happen on the battlefield.
"Ah! I was shortsighted. I've received your command." Her subordinate lowered her head, knowing how bad her brain was compared to Raisa. For her, destroying the Risourin Kingdom was the main goal. For Raisa, destroying the Risourin Kingdom would only lead to trouble, so capturing the Hero and the Great Sage was the priority.
Raisa nodded and sent her subordinate away.
Unbeknownst to them, there was also another party watching the battle today. It was a small group of six, two men and four women.
The women were all beauties, but they seemed to be closer to one man instead of both of them.
"Sir Hero, what do you think about this battle?"
"Hmph. Those soldiers are too weak. Why couldn't they fight back?"
"Our Hero is the best."
The famous man made a proud smile as he stated, "Hmph. This time, I come here not to fight those cannon fodders. I'm here to capture a commander!"
"Aaaah."
"Our Hero is so brave."
"He's so gallant."
The smile on the hero's face became even bigger as he glanced at the man in the distance. "What do you think, Gin? No… Should I call you Great Sage?"
The gloomy guy called Gin clenched his staff and closed his eyes, saying, "It's better not to join this losing war. They're not like the monsters we've killed all this time, and it's clear the soldiers are confused."
Whether it was due to the hero looking down on him or because he was envious of him being surrounded by women, the Great Sage Gin snorted and looked away, not understanding why a fool guy who only cared about reputation and women like him would be chosen as a hero.
"You're just a coward! I'm not like you!" The hero snorted.
