I Was Reincarnated as an Incompetent Villain Prince, and When I Was in the Dark for an Oshi, the Hero Seems to Have Lost His Temper. Apparently, the Hero Is Also a Reincarnated Person~
“Haaaahaaa, I made it through.”
I watch the demons retreat, out of breath.
Then, wiping the sweat from my forehead, I looked at the scene that was spreading around the area.
There were the corpses of demons cut in half and the corpses of soldiers scattered all over the place.
The adventurers had not been wiped out, but most of them were wounded and had lost their will to fight.
It was not surprising.
A cadre of the Demon King had suddenly appeared before them.
There were a few S-rank adventurers among the adventurers, and some of them were not injured.
I shouted aloud.
“We made it through day one! You guys!”
As I said this, the soldiers around me shouted.
Many of the adventurers were stunned with fear, but they looked up when they heard the soldiers’ voices.
I opened my mouth as I looked at them.
“Go back to Kayo! And make a list of the wounded!”
As I said this, the respective captains nodded and ran.
As I watched, I looked at the hills in the distance.
There, I see an army of demons and the demon king’s cadres.
But I question the sight.
“Hey, why are there no dragons?”
As I recall, Rosetta, the Demon King’s excecutive, retreated on her dragon.
But yet not a single dragon could be seen on the hill.
I frowned and lowered my eyes to my hand while thinking about that.
Today, I consumed a lot of magic power, so I came here quite tired.
I must return to Kayo and let my body recover.
I think like that, I get on my horse and return to Kayo.
★
“I’m glad you’re safe, Kisi-san, Etra.”
“Yes, somehow.”
I returned to Kayo and hurried to meet Kishi-san and Etra.
The reason for this is to hold a military meeting for tomorrow.
And then Kisi-san opened his mouth with a slightly tired look on his face.
“To be honest, I almost died many times. Many of my comrades died, and it was a really tough battle. ……”
I was a little surprised to see Kisi-san’s eyes.
It was because Kishi-san’s eyes were so dark and deep that I didn’t notice it at all before he left for the battle
“Oh, I see. …… Where’s Etra?”
I look at Etra.
“Y-yes, it was hard for me as well as Kisi-san.”
After all, something must have happened in the battle.
They said that many of the troops they commanded died, so it was clear that the battle was very tough.
But today we have to ask them to join the war council.
Because the real battle is tomorrow.
I look at the two of them and open my mouth.
“You could see from watching the demon army today that tomorrow will be a much tougher fight.”
“I’m sure you’re right. ……. Because there were a lot of Demon Lords on that hill.”
Etra says so sadly.
“Perhaps the Demon King’s Army tomorrow won’t take an easy thing.”
Tomorrow, they will surely come to kill us in earnest.
“Today, we, the Central Army, made contact with Rosetta, a senior member of the Demon King’s Army.”
When I open my mouth like that, Kisi-san and Etra’s eyes widen.
“A Demon King’s Army executive? What in the world kind of person was in command?”
‘“A woman with a weapon like a sickle. She was also using a dragon.”
When I say this, Etra puts her hand on her chin and starts thinking.
“Executive …… wasn’t on the left wing.”
Etra calmly replies.
Then Kisi-san also opened his mouth.
“I don’t think there were any Demon Army cadres on the right wing here either.”
I listen to their words and continue talking.
“The whole cadre will probably come out tomorrow. They will want to settle the matter as soon as possible.”
“If those cadres come out, it would not be surprising if we are destroyed tomorrow at any time.”
Etra says so calmly.
Indeed, if all the leaders of the Demon King’s army showed up tomorrow, we would definitely lose.
Even if I really fought, I would only be able to fight one of them.
But I had one hope.
That hope is that reinforcements from the Kingdom of Albarran may arrive this evening.
It seems that the lord of the castle had requested reinforcements from the king in the capital in advance.
So I haven’t given up hope yet.
“Perhaps reinforcements will arrive from the Kingdom of Albarran in a little while.”
When I said that, Kisi-san and Etra looked at each other and nodded.
There is not much distance from the royal capital of Albarran to Kayo.
In contrast, the reinforcements from Harcim will take a lot of time.
Even if the reinforcements come, I don’t know if we can win, but if we see even a glimmer of light, our mental state will stabilise.
Suddenly, cheers can be heard coming from the city walls.
The direction in which the cheers are coming from is the direction in which the royal city of Albarran is located.
Hearing this voice, Etra and I involuntarily look at each other.
“Could it be ……!”
When we muttered this with surprised expressions, Kisi-san opened his mouth.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah!”
“Yes!”
