Chapter Forty-Eight: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"Demon King...... Your Majesty?'
As Dvoga was about to join the battle between the soldiers, a group of dark dependents coalesced from the sky and tore the remaining necromantic soldiers to pieces.
"Your Majesty, the situation in the palace ......" Seeing Sak slowly fall to the ground, Dvoga hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Kaina has appeared, and I can trust her to support you." Sack looked up at the palace still floating in the sky, and then looked around at the battlefield around him.
"Kaina-sama? She'd been gone for years, and this was when she appeared......" Dvoga stopped in the middle of his words, and accepted the truth despite his shock.
Sack frowned and looked around, there were not many soldiers left of the demon clan, and most of the remaining ones could not continue to fight.
"It's up to us now, Dvoga, and we can't afford to lose any more soldiers. Where's Ive?' Sack sighed and said to Dvoga.
"He's on the other side, and I'm going to go over and support now." Dvoga responded.
"Okay."
Zac nodded, looked around at the remaining soldiers of the week, and shouted, "Your achievements today will be remembered, you are all heroes of the demon race. But heroes, too, need to rest. Those who can still fight, guard this place, and those who are seriously injured retreat for the time being!"
"You may think that I have been running away all along, because I am weak, for my own safety, and therefore I do not hesitate to harm the interests of the demons. But today, I want you to know that I, Sax, will not be afraid of war. I'll admit that you've been a little disheartened by what you've done, and I apologize for it, and I'm not going to defend myself. But the enemy has stepped into our land, and I have no way out, and I will live and die with you!'
Zac's words were addressed to all the demon soldiers around him, as well as to the civilians hiding in their houses. The Necromancy's attack did terrify Zac for a while, and he was afraid that more of his people would be fearlessly sacrificed, so he chose to endure. This became a reason for Dvoga, his soldiers, and the rest of the civilian population to complain about Sark.
But when Sack had no way out, he stopped retreating.
The soldiers were greatly encouraged by Sack's loud and firm words, and Sack hurried to the other side of Dimmor City as soon as he finished speaking.
(Your Majesty, do you really think so?) It seems that today I only found out that my previous opinion of you was wrong. )
Dvoga looked at Sark's back and began to deny what he had thought of Sark. In Dvoga's understanding, Sack's words were purely emotional, without any other meaning, and they were from the heart, not pretending.
He began to re-examine what he had done before.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I hid the actual strength of the troops from you, and I hid some of the soldiers privately." Dvoga whispered to himself, in a volume that Sack couldn't hear. Then, he picked up the teleportation device he wore around his waist.
"Sheola, I've hidden two hundred soldiers in the castle, and if you need them, let them go. I think we seem to have some misunderstanding about Your Majesty, and I want to re-examine it.'"
After leaving a message for Siola with a teleporter, Dvoga followed Sark's pace.
"That's really, that's great......" In the dark palace, Siola looked at Regis who had only half a life hanging in front of her, and suddenly heard the words from Dvoga, and couldn't help but smile.

On the other side of the city, the fighting continued, and there was hardly an intact place, the houses were in ruins, and the civilians inside were nowhere to be found. Relying on their numerical superiority, the necromantic soldiers completely gained the upper hand, and they surrounded the demon soldiers, preparing to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Just as the necromantic soldiers were about to annihilate the encircled demon soldiers, Zac arrived in time and threw out a black mist with a wave of his hand, clearing out half of the necromantic soldiers.
Dvoga then arrived, his hands clawed and his fists forward, and the ground beneath the feet of the remaining necromantic soldiers suddenly snapped, and they were caught off guard and fell into the cracks.
Dvoga then slapped his hands, and the crack in the earth immediately closed, squashing the necromantic soldier to the ground.
After dealing with the enemies here, Zac hurried to the demon soldiers, but when he saw that only a few wounded people remained, the corners of his eyes twitched.
"How's it going here, Ivher?" Sack knew that now was not the time to be sad, and he soon discovered that Ivor didn't seem to be here, but the burn marks around him proved that Ivor had fought here.
"General Iver was attracted by the enemy generals, and their purpose was to lure the generals away, and then let a large number of soldiers come here to plunder the civilians." One of the demon soldiers replied to Zac's words.
Plundering civilians?
Sax felt a little strange, but more of an uneasiness.
"Where was Iver led, and where were the civilians captured?" Sack asked.
"The general seems to have gone to the wilderness, and as for the civilians, forgive the incompetence of his subordinates, we can't stop them, there are too many of them." The soldier hurriedly bowed his head and apologized. But before he could finish his words, he disappeared in place.
————————————
The woods in the field of Dimore, the burning trees, the scorch marks everywhere, the cracks caused by sharp weapons slashing into the ground, all tell of the fierce battles that took place here.
"What a brainless guy~" A strong man with six arms mocked as he grabbed the nearest tree to fend off Ive's attack.
The strong man with six arms was the Necromantic general Solap, and when he led the Necromantic soldiers to attack the side of Ive's defense, he deliberately said that he would fight Ivor one-on-one, and attracted Ivor to the field. In this way, the soldiers led by himself can use the numerical advantage to suppress the soldiers of the demon clan and take away the civilians.
However, to Solap's surprise, Iver followed him here without even the slightest suspicion.
The cramped woods gave Solap more room to maneuver with Ivher, and as long as he could delay Ivor for more time, his goal would be achieved.
"Hmph, you guy, what kind of ability is it to dodge and dodge, come and fight me head-on!" Ivor was annoyed to see that Solap was only constantly defending but not attacking.
"Is it...... Solap sneered, and his six arms were suddenly covered with necromantic fire, and powerful fists roared out.
Seeing this, Iver frowned, and the flames on his body burned more violently, forming a hard shield to resist the opponent's rain-like attack.
After all, in the face of Solap, who has six arms, Iver still has some disadvantages, and Iver still has some disadvantages, and Iver does not use his full strength in this environment.
"That's what it sounds like!" Ive's fighting spirit was a little higher, and he resisted the opponent's fist sideways, and the battle axe swept out.
The threatening blow forced Solap to abandon the attack and free his arm to take the tomahawk. Despite the stiffness of a cold weapon in the arms strengthened by Necromantic Fire, Sorap's arms were still hit by Iverna's battle axe, which was made of special materials and blessed with the power of fire.
While barely stopping the tomahawk, Solap's body was shaken by the powerful impact, and his arm felt sore and numb for a while.
The moment Ifer didn't get a hit, his hands detached from the handle of the tomahawk, he took a step forward, raised his solid fist, and landed an uppercut to Solap's face.
Solap couldn't dodge it, and the punch was taken, sending him flying a few meters away. If it weren't for his own physical strength, Ive's punch might have knocked his head crooked, or killed him on the spot.
"Hmph, my brain is not good, but brute force is good." Solap wiped his face and stood up, looking up at the black smoke in the Hellsky sky, "However, my purpose should have been achieved."
"What are you talking about?" Iver was confused by Sorap's inexplicable words.
"Idiot, I'm just delaying your time, now in the city, it is estimated that your soldiers should have been wiped out, and my soldiers will take all the civilians of the demon clan captive. You've just fallen for my trick to get out of the mountains.'" Solap looked at Ivor with a mocking expression.
"How dare you!" When Iver heard this, he suddenly realized, and then he was furious, and the momentum on his body suddenly exploded.
"General, Your Majesty and the people of Dvoga have already dealt with the necromantic soldiers in the city, you can use all your strength to defeat him, his strength is actually vulnerable." At this moment, Sheola's voice sounded in Ive's head.
"I don't need to say it!" Iver shouted loudly, as if in response to Theola's words.
In an instant, Solap felt the temperature of the air around him rise sharply, and when he wanted to leave, he found that his surroundings had become a sea of fire.
Standing in front of him, Iver erupted in fierce flames, and there was only a red light in his eyes, and he couldn't even see his pupils. With each exhalation, Ifer erupted several flames.
Solap realized the gravity of the situation and that he had to escape. But as soon as he was about to turn around, the flames burst through the sky, completely enveloping him in a field of hellfire.
"You've me off!" Ivor carried the tomahawk and slowly walked towards Solap. Each step he took was accompanied by a slight tremor on the ground, which gradually shattered Solap's psychological defenses.
Slowly, without hurry, but with great momentum, Ivor walked up to Sorap, who could only stand still. He was already too frightened by Ive's fighting spirit, and despite having a physique that was not inferior to Ive's, he felt so small when Ivor stood in front of him.
The fire demon in front of him only made him see the word death, and there was no possibility of survival.
Iver looked at Solap, pinched the other's neck with one hand, and held it up. Grab a creature about your size, but it's like a child.
"Die here, you guy!" Iver said word for word to Solap.
He then threw Sorap upward, and with an axe, he unleashed a bolt of hellfire, splitting Sorap in half. The flames surrounding the area shrank towards Sorap the moment he was hit, and then exploded with an earth-shattering explosion.
Except for Ive, everything within a radius of 100 meters was reduced to ashes with this explosion......
