I was able to successfully attack one of the cities, although I was forced to flee by a mysterious『Twelve Holy Apostles』named Mia the『Heavenly Maiden』.
Survivors? There were? I killed them all.
And from there, I marched on to the capital, destroying cities and killing people.
…Then, one month after the start of the invasion of the Kingdom of Alvera.
「Okay, you guys, let’s start the battle. Go ahead and destroy the turrets. Magicians, warders, and grantors, Lean, please.」
「Yes.」
At last, we were in a decisive battle in the capital of the Kingdom of Alvera.
It was the capital city, and it took a long time to attack the wards.
It took all of our warding artists, Rain-san weather manipulation, and my magic to the fullest, and it took three days to finally make a hole in the ward, how solid is the warding?
Since the size of the hole was large, soldiers of middle rank and below were put on standby. In contrast, soldiers of higher rank and above, myself, and Shelly-san, a semi-executive, a total of about 150 people, invaded the warding, killed all warding and granting artists, and further destroyed the magic items to break the ward, and then marched forward. The usual flow of events, albeit with some differences.
「Now, Lean-san, please give me your instructions.」
「Yes…Well then, I and Shelly-san will go ahead. There is only one hole, and there will be a concentrated fire of long-range attacks. We’ll kill them first as much as possible, but please be careful following us.」
「「Ha!」」
And then, the decisive battle was set to begin――!
◆◇◆◇◆
「…No more~」
It took only three hours from the start of the operation.
It was the time it took for the capital to fall.
…I don’t know, they didn’t think we could break the wards, and they weren’t prepared for it.
Too stupid. It’s always important to assume the worst in a war, but they look down on us because we’re demons. Are they bird-headed enough not to remember the difference in basic stats? No, is it disrespectful to all the bird-oriented beastmen to say this? Well, human-heads, then.
So, the nobles were impatient with our intrusion.
What’s more, they were trying to escape, you know?
They were trying to escape to the Holy Land of Mercurius using a transfer magic circle without any good plan.
Shelly-san anticipated this and was the first to break into the castle and destroy the magic circle, so no one could escape.
So, my job of exterminating the magic occupations was completed. I also killed all the top 10 or so of the most powerful people in the country. I left the rest to everyone under my command, and I am now taking a break.
「H-How about this one? It’s the finest quality wine!」
「Hey, look at me. Do I look old enough to drink?」
「Hii! I-I’m sorry! I’ll get you some juice right away.」
I’m using the nobles of this country as chairs and desks to serve me.
My latest boom. I treat great people like furniture and play the tyrant.
「T, that…If you do this, your life is really…」
「Chair doesn’t talk.」
「Hiii……yes, yes……」
「…Lean, you look pretty bad right now.」
「Ah, Rain-san. How’s the city doing?」
「Things are going smoothly, thanks to your killing of all the important and powerful people.」
「I’m glad to hear that. I’d like everybody to stay alive as long as possible.」
「……Not a very nice thing to say, coming from the queen who treats all intelligent life, human or otherwise, as if they were her property.」
「That’s wrong, Rain-san. I am a vampire princess. The queen is my mother.」
「Oh, right…Well, at any rate, the kingdom is now destroyed. Oh, by the way, what happened to the royal family?」
「They weren’t comfortable, so I made mincemeat out of them. You see that lump of black over there?」
「…………………Oh, wow.」
They were all kind of scrawny, sprout-like things, and they were making my butt hurt.
I was so pissed off I chopped it up and burned it.
「Oh, but I’m getting tired of this… Honestly, I’m not really an S. I just enjoyed humiliating the human noble who thought they were so high and mighty.」
「I think that’s what you call an S.」
「I don’t feel that way about demons or Yomi…Oh, that’s enough, you guys.」
「T-Then…!」
「Right, bye-bye. Bang!」
「…ee.」
I didn’t need it anymore, so I killed it with a small explosion.
「……Lousy fireworks.」
「That’s a terrible line……」
「So, Rain-san, you wanted to see me?」
「Oh, yeah, yeah. I got a call from the Demon King-sama. She said she was going to hold an emergency executive meeting and that everyone should come back. She also said that you can take a vacation in the Demon King’s territory.」
「Really? Lucky~」
「Go ahead and make out with Yomi as much as you want.」
