The charred earth shook slightly, and on a hill not far away, a handful of withered shrubs were crawling among them.

As the frequency and amplitude of the tremors became higher and higher, a huge demon army could be seen slowly moving towards the end of the land. In addition to the previous huge magical beasts, there were also some humanoid magical beasts wearing simple armor mixed in. The team seems to be a battle group of forty or fifty demonic beasts led by a few intelligent orcs, and it is estimated that there are about tens of thousands of horses.

"Oh my God, there are so many magical beasts?!" Haruka was visibly frightened by the sight in front of him.

"Remember the battle on the plains of Narmiso?" Hetila whispered.

"Of course, I went with you to save Iska and encountered a demon invasion. ”

"That's right, at that time, the Demon King of the West, Faldi, spread out a huge magic circle in the middle of the plain. ”

"It seems that there is indeed such a thing. ”

"That magic array is a portal that connects the demon world with the human world, and it is precisely because of its existence that a large number of demonic beasts and demons can continuously invade the human world. ”

"Did so many demonic beasts come out of the door?" Looking at the army in the distance, the black oppression seemed to cover the entire land. "If we don't destroy that portal, I'm afraid this continent will soon become the possession of the demons. ”

"Time is running out for humanity. Hetila's eyes were fixed on the demons in front of him. "Look, over there. ”

Following the direction that Hetila pointed, I saw about seventy or eighty huge female beasts appear at the end of the line.

"Are these the same as the big guy I killed last night?"

"That's right, these huge, slow-moving female beasts, they can breed a large number of demonic beasts in a short period of time by devouring humans, and if they can't be wiped out, there will be endless demonic beasts on the battlefield. ”

"It seems that there are a lot of headaches. Haruka frowned.

"A march of this scale looks very bad, this number has far exceeded the scale of the Valenci Fortress when it was captured before, judging by the direction of this march, the other party's target is probably the Surfara Kingdom!"

"Hey?!Is that the academy!!" Haruka almost stood up excitedly, and was quickly pressed down by Hetila on the side.

"Are you crazy, do you want to fight such a large army alone?!"

"I'm sorry... But when I think about it, if the other party attacks the academy, then ... ”

"Calm down!" she took Haruka's hand in her hand, "It's still a bit of a distance from the border of Surfara, and because of the she-beast, the enemy's march won't be fast, so we just need to get to Surfara before they do, and then tell them about the enemy's movements, even if we can't organize a defense line in the first place, but at least we can let the civilians evacuate first." ”

"You're right. Haruka seemed to calm down.

The two of them silently lay in ambush in the weeds until the demon army disappeared from their field of vision.

"It should be fine now. Hetila stood up, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, reached out and pulled Haruka up.

"Let's go, we're going to get back to the airship, Foss and they've been waiting for us for a long time. ”

The two of them got up and walked towards the valley behind them, but before they could leave, a creature with round eyeballs slowly appeared from the sky, and then quickly disappeared into the air.

"I'm sorry! Haruka lifted the special barrier wrapped around the airship, and since there was no dedicated airship dock, Foss's skiff had to hover in the air in the middle of the canyon, and using the lowered rope ladder, Haruka and Hetila returned to the airship.

"Welcome back. Millie greeted the two warmly.

"Why, did you spot the demon army that Miss Hetila was talking about?" Fox asked, leaning against the rudder.

"Found it, and it's not going to be good. Haruka replied.

"We must chart a route as soon as possible, and the Demon King Army has gathered a large number of troops and is heading towards the Kingdom of Surfara. Hetila picked up the map and looked at the path in detail.

"Is the other party going to attack the kingdom of Surfara in a big way?, then we must report to them quickly. Foss immediately grabbed the rudder.

"The other side will move along this plain, and we can fly over the mountains next to us and reach the kingdom of Surfara before they do. Hetila unfolded the map in front of Foss, pointing out the exact location to him.

"Understood, Miss Hetila, let's set sail. Fox started the airship, and with the roar of machinery, the airship began to slowly climb altitude.

"I hope everything is okay. Haruka leaned against the porthole, and Millie handed him water.

"Let's drink some water first. She handed over a worn-out teacup.

"Thank you. Just as he was reaching out to pick it up, a loud bang suddenly came from the back of the airship, and the whole airship shook violently, and the cup in Millie's hand fell to the ground, spilling water all over the ground.

"What's the matter!?" Haruka looked out the window for the first time, only to see five or six demons with weapons in hand surrounding the airship.

"Get out of here!" the demon clan shouted loudly, "The guy that the Demon King is paying special attention to, let me see what it looks like." ”
