Episode 75 – Reason for War (5)

“They seem to have chosen to fight together as one.”

The news of the unity of the northern Pandemonium lords was quickly recognized by Lucy as well. In fact, it is a planned procedure because they cannot defeat the Demon King’s army in the first place by scattering and fighting locally.

But now, the Demon King’s army has a powerful weapon to use in a frontal fight.

“I am most curious about what variables they have prepared.”

“…”

Lucy smiled softly as she saw the allied forces beginning to unite even at the cost of damage in other provinces. If it had been before, when there was a gap in this way, he would have given up frontal fighting and focused on attacking gaps by using his strengths in moving troops more quickly and fluidly.

But not this time. Lucy, ignoring the fact that YuRia, who was by her side, even glanced at her, focused on the fight right in front of her.

It’s because I took his advice. The fact that the calculation formula you established collapses due to the variable that the other party has is an opportunity to use that variable to make the formula more solid.

That’s why Lucy rather wanted that allied army, which had a major victory against the previous demon king, to show off its excellent tactics against her corps and promote it. I hoped to continue the desperate battle by finding a weak spot and digging into it. Only then can you supplement it and evolve further.

‘It’s not easy to understand the thoughts of the Demon King.’

Yuria, who did not receive such details, could not easily understand Lucy’s attitude of wanting the other person to struggle. It’s just that they will use the strength of the Demon King’s army, which has a strong ability to reverse engineer or acquire the other person’s technology.

“With the data they have acquired so far, they have confirmed that they are powerless to stop the one-line charge of the super-giant species. But not avoiding it like that means finding a way anyway. You should check it out. If you check and analyze all the powers they have, the win rate cannot be lowered.”

Lucy gave the order to attack the allied forces stationed in the distance. Behemoth Beta was at the forefront.

The powerful rushing attack they create, literally wiping out an entire area with their gigantic body and acceleration, is more destructive than anything else.

In addition, Lucy, who immediately rushed to the main unit and announced the start of a large-scale battle without a moment’s hesitation, was still busy observing and analyzing what the opponent was doing while standing on the head of the super-giant species that was rushing.

“Soon, right away?”

“Then did you want them to treat you with courtesy and courtesy? Get ready right away!”

The allied forces also tried the best they could to confront the huge army that began to rush as soon as they met eyes.

The first thing they tried was the charge of the giant beasts that were running, shaking the ground. If you can’t prevent that in the first place, the battle itself can’t be established in the first place.

“Balach, can you really do it?”

“Even if it doesn’t work, I can’t help it.”

The lizardman with green scales flicked his tongue nervously, perhaps because of the tension. The tricks they prepared to deal with the super-giant species of the Demon King’s army were the Lizardmen.

Soon, carefully selected Lizardman shamans stepped forward, jingling wands of old trees with ornaments.

“It is impossible to defeat those crazy monsters by directly striking their sturdy bodies. So we have to attack somewhere else.”

The leader of the Lizardmen, called the King of the Marsh, Balak himself also raised his staff. The magic learned by the Lizardmen is the power to move water.

Soon, the groundwater that flowed in the middle of the plain where the super-giant species ran began to fluctuate.

“No matter how big your body is, isn’t it the same to run with your feet on the ground in the end?”

“In the first place, all giant monsters were the prey of our ancestors.”

Convinced of the success of the operation, as Ballack said, groundwater began to flow backward and seep into the dry land surface. The land thus saturated with water began to turn into muddy mud and, furthermore, began to create puddles.

“Gremory, you need to replenish your mana.”

cried Ballach as he watched his men begin to collapse from magical exhaustion from pumping up enough groundwater to fill the entire wide plain.

The succubuses set out to solve the problem. Succubuses, including Gremory, used their ability of extracting spirits to supplement their strength by endowing the Lizardmen with the magic they drew from other demons.

“Their rush will stop there. All that remains now is to hunt those immobilized beasts.”

The moment when the Lizardman Shamans, who had exhausted all the power they had raised unreasonably, stretched out because they had to create a wetland in an instant to meet the timing that the running enemies could not avoid or bypass.

Now the plains have become artificial wetlands. It is an artificial environmental change that cannot be stopped or avoided, at least at the moment when it was rushing forward.

The supergiant species, unable to control their own acceleration, jumped straight into the wetland.

[As expected, the variables they have are…]

A huge, heavy body burrowed into the muddy road, blocking its movement. Lucy’s eyes were shining with interest because she directly confirmed the variables she wanted, and the allied forces took this as an opportunity to attack first.

“Kill them all!”

Harpy King Malphas personally led his soldiers across the skies and attacked from above. The intention was to attack unilaterally without being affected by the battlefield that had become muddy.

Tactics that efficiently and accurately allocate and combine roles and processes. Lucy had a hunch that their combined strength was beyond her expectations.

[You must protect Behemoth Beta.]

However, Lucy also immediately tried to calculate and moved her troops in the most efficient way.

“This, these crazy… these guys!”

Thanks to this, the allied forces were greatly embarrassed. It was because the Demon King’s army, which was rushing after the super-giant species, rushed and jumped into the mud as if they were throwing themselves, no matter what the ground under their feet.

I didn’t mind falling or being crushed. As if they were trying to fill this muddy road with their bodies. In fact, the other Demon King’s soldiers ran forward, trampling and crushing the bodies of their comrades.

“Eh, Maou-nim.”

“We don’t have time to turn our troops around. However, sacrificing Behemoth Betas is also impossible. resources, production time, etc. As a result of the calculation, sacrificing some troops is more efficient.”

Yuria was also taken aback, but Lucy’s decision was quick and unwavering. In the end, the Demon King’s Army and the allied forces entered into a full-fledged battle between the super-giant species whose movement was blocked.

“As expected, those monsters are beyond common sense. Charge everyone!”

The harpies’ one-sided attack to catch the super-giant species had failed, so now the allied forces needed a response. Filling the swamp with their bodies and rushing towards the enemies, the allied forces also charged in unison and confronted them.

[Seeing all 6 of the 70 surviving monarchs gathered here, I can tell how sincere they were.]

“Your year… are you laughing right now?”

At Lucy, who was looking down at the clash between the two armies that filled the area, King Malpas, the harpy who flew away from the flying species of the Demon King’s Army, shouted in anger.

They are smiling. At that, Lucy finally checked the expression on her face.

“It seems so. I couldn’t stand it because I was enjoying this moment.”

“What, what?”

“So try harder. There is too little data to be obtained if the ruling species of the Pandemonium die down to this extent.”

Malpas was unexpectedly taken aback by Lucy’s voice, which felt calm and subtle emotions.

excitement, interest. What I had felt little by little in the past, now that my ego has grown, has come closer. For Lucy, the battlefield is more like an opportunity for growth.

Of course, there was no way that Malphas could understand that way of thinking that even Yuria couldn’t understand. Hearing the unintentional provocation, enraged, he raised his magic power and attacked, and Lucy also raised her sword and countered it.

“Don’t talk nonsense. do you think you will win We’ve already won once. It means that we fought and won against the great law that governed this land.”

A kick wrapped in powerful magical energy broke through Lucy’s sword and locked herself in. He continued to attack Lucy, who was pushed back.

Lucy pinned him down with YuRia, who supported him with magic firepower. With the output of the two people together, Malpas was now pushed back, but he was not shaken by the fact that he was pushed out of power.

“Don’t be conceited that you’ve been on a winning streak so far. Together, we have overcome more than this.”

[······Expected win rate less than 30%.]

His words were not without reason. At the same time, Lucy’s face stiffened slightly as she continued to calculate the odds by putting in the war situation that was changing in real time.

Variables that were outside the realm of computation. It was the result of them bursting out all at once.

***

“These guys, their target is certain. Like evil people.”

The time when Malphas collided with Lucy. King Oriath of the cave trolls, who wielded a huge greatsword like a windmill on the ground, killed the giant spiders that attacked him in one blow, then laughed at those who came to shoot him.

Strong physique and thick body, etc. Although there were differences, such as the whole body being covered with a black carapace, it was easy to recognize at a glance who the base was.

Trolls, a new type of Demon Lord’s Army, remodeled based on the cave trolls acquired in the last battle. Lucy dispatched the most suitable types of soldiers to shoot the lords, but Oriath took this as a provocation against them.

“Look everyone. Should we lose to these guys?”

He fought at the forefront, encouraging his men. The troops Lucy had prepared through her own calculations to shoot the lords were pushed back by their power that surpassed the calculations, and they were suppressed one by one and began to fall to the ground.

“Are the soldiers who ate and made us so weak!”

Oriath, who had cut Troll Gamma’s body in half with a slash shot with a sword overflowing with magical power, screamed and ran wild. As the lord class, regarded as a one-man army, started rampaging, the Demon King’s army around him fell and was cut down by the autumn leaves.

Even elsewhere the situation was the same. Demon lords were acting as a crack that broke the balance of the battlefield by demonstrating their strength, and the allied forces united around them and confronted the demon army.

The Demon King’s army, who had not yet been able to catch them as a single entity, could not stop them. And they slowly moved forward, eventually reaching the place where Lucy was without stopping.

“Do you see it? You are not the only one growing up. We grow as well. That is… the power that allowed us to defeat the Demon King.”

[That is the power of growth.]

Lucy corrected her calculations by killing the demon army and seeing the lords who arrived in front of her. The power bestowed on the lords by the Great Saint Evelia enables them to grow up close to a miracle.

“······Catch the queen!”

Soon they all rushed towards Lucy. The result was already 0% win rate, but the price was the same even if they ran away anyway, so Lucy did not avoid their challenge.

Rather, he was satisfied with the result. It’s not difficult to fix with this result. Even the lords who had reached this point did not yet know everything about Lucy.

[The 1st Army is scheduled to be annihilated, but after saving the main objects, we will prepare the 2nd Army and attack.]

In an instant, the opponent may be able to win. But the war doesn’t end there.
