"Your Highness Monasse, I will deal with this person, and you can fight according to the original plan." Artevans said, untying the bandage that was wrapped around his left arm.

Immediately after, he raised the "Black Death Arm" and clenched his fist in the direction of Tadini.

The soldier guarding the outskirts of Tadini suddenly fell to the ground the moment Artfans clenched his fist, and his breath was gone. And all this, without warning.

"Death Mastery? It's kind of interesting.'" Redina glanced at the corpse of the soldier at her feet, undeterred by Artfans' attack. Redina has ever seen Kay? Having used the "Mastery of Death", she knew that Artvance was giving herself a disgrace to her face, and if she cowered at this time, then she would be disgraced.

Artevans used "Death Mastery" to kill a hundred of Kimparo's mercenaries in an instant, which in turn piqued Redina's interest. Redina, who is extremely confident in her own strength, begins to look forward to the fight with Atfans.

"I don't want your presence to get in the way of my plans, so I think we can come here." After killing the outermost soldiers, Artevans teleported in front of Redina and grabbed Redina's shoulder with the "Arm of Black Death".

Redina didn't react for a moment, and before she could even resist, she was taken by Artevans to the heart of Sloban City.

Sloban, which has been turned into an empty city, will not cause innocent casualties, no matter how fierce the battle between Artvance and Redina will become. Unless, of course, Redina's strength is as good as Theo? That kind of scope is a different matter.

"Here, it should be fine." Atfans looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

All that remains is abandoned buildings, and no matter what kind of damage they have, Monasse probably won't care.

Redina snorted disdainfully and took off her cloak. The moment the cloak left its body, it turned into a black mist that dispersed with the wind.

"It seems that I can't leave, so let's play with you, the young demon king."

————————————

"Redina Blacks, Leanne......

At this time, in Kimparo's basement, Theo? There doesn't seem to be a rush to get out. To Theo? Kimparo who made a serious mistake in judging the real strength, Xio? It is estimated that unless the battle outside is over, Kimparo will not return here. So she simply took out the crystal ball and observed the situation outside.

"Kaina-sama, do you have an impression of the name? Master Artevis, I ran into her, and the two seemed ready for a decisive battle." Theo? While observing Artevans, he asked Kaina with his mind.

"What a nostalgic name, listen to you, she's in the underworld, isn't she? Radina was originally an 'observer' of the Black Temple, and when my sister was a high priest, she was of the same class as Aktri as the 'Remodeler' and me as the 'Inquisitor'."

"However, unlike me and Acteri, Redina is a complete radical in the eyes of the members of the Black Temple, and she has always been dissatisfied with her sister's weakness in the face of the Demon King's power, so she has a bit of a discord with her sister. Even later, there was always a mood of rebellion.

"After my sister was executed, she also left the Black Hall to avoid being swept away by Sack, and was nowhere to be found. Although her strength is only comparable to that of Actri, her ability to hide in the shadows will make Artevans suffer a lot."

Kaina in Theo? When you ask questions, you will tell you all about Redina.

"In other words, Lord Artevans, is he about to face the first fierce battle after the awakening of his strength?" Theo? Hearing Kaina say that Artevans might suffer, she seemed to be very happy.

After all, Theo? It is believed that if Artevans becomes arrogant and fearless because of his strength, there is a huge hidden danger for the future.

"This was true until Artvis discovered the flaws in Redina's abilities, but if Artevans can catch the flaws in Redina's abilities, then Redina's abilities will become a burden to her." Kaina was silent for a few seconds, as if recalling Redina's abilities, before she said to Theo? Said. However, as for Redina's specific abilities, Kaina did not elaborate.

"Really...... Theo? Turning his attention back to the crystal ball of Artefans, "That's really exciting."

————————————

At this time, the junction of Tadini and Sloban.

"Everyone, attack!"

After Artevans had killed all the soldiers guarding the outskirts of Tadini and taken Redina away, this was undoubtedly the perfect time for Monasse to blow the horn of attack.

Without a moment's hesitation, Monasse summoned chains, connecting the two sides of the canyon, erecting a makeshift bridge, and ordering the soldiers to charge.

Monasse was still at the front, and Daisse and Sully saw this, and immediately followed Monasse's pace.

After the army crossed the gorge and entered the interior of Tadini, Monasse was greeted by the army of Kimparo.

A large number of mercenaries and a small number of regular soldiers formed a mixed lineup of soldiers, forming the most basic line of defense of Tadini.

And just as Monasse was about to summon the chains to attack, the actions of the soldiers in front of him made Monasse stubbornly keep the magic power that he was about to release in his body.

I saw that Kimparo's soldiers changed their formation, revealing gaps in the defensive line. One civilian after another was pushed to the front line with their hands tied by the soldiers.

"That guy Kimparo, he wants to use civilians as meat shields?" When Monasse saw this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and his face became very ugly.

Monasse could never have imagined that in order to make it difficult for Monasse's army to advance, he would capture the civilians in the territory to form a defensive line.

"What's the matter, Your Highness Monasse, why don't you attack? You...... Don't you dare?' In the sky, a large curtain of light unfolded, reflecting Kimparo's smiling face and his voice.

"Kimparo, you're despicable!" Monasse said as he stared at Kimparo angrily.

"Despicable? It seems that His Highness is still too young. Fighting, as long as the final victory can be achieved, regardless of the means used, can be allowed. And these civilians are just refugees from Sloban, and they really think that I will treat them like civilians in my own territory, which is naïve."

Apparently Monasse's expression, Kinparo laughed out loud instead.

When Sloban was first captured, Kimparo pretended to paint a beautiful picture of the Sloban civilians, convincing some of them that life would be better under Kimparo's rule. But in fact, it was nothing more than a scam by Kimparo to get more hostages.

After bringing some of the civilians of Sloban to Tadini, Kinparo used the worst buildings for them to live in, and was not given enough food for every meal.

Kinparo's purpose is to allow this group of people to become hostages when Monasse's army approaches, and use them against Monasse.

Kinparo was well aware of the personalities of the two brothers, Monasse and Daise, and if it were the two of them, they would never dare to sacrifice the lives of civilians to attack, and the same was true for Sully. In this way, Monasse's army will stagnate, and then Kinparo will use his own archers to cooperate with the three of the rangers, and wear down the opponent's forces.

"It seems that Master Artevans has slightly underestimated Mr. Kamparo's methods." Theo? Looking at the frontal battlefield situation in the other crystal, he couldn't help but smile, "However, in this way, Lord Artevans doesn't need to use that false evidence."

Artevans lured Itama into sending Moen to pretend to be a soldier of Kamparo to cause a fire in the main city through the "Dark Whisper", but also to make Kimparo break the rule that the Nether Emperor should not harm civilians, so that Kimparo would lose the hearts of the people. But as it stands, there's no need for that.

"How is it, Your Highness? If you don't attack, I'm going to attack.'" Kimparo said, picking up the token in his hand and crushing it.

As the horn sounded, a rain of arrows rained down on Monasse's army.

"Chain Array!" Monasse waved the chains in his hand and swiped twice in the air, a huge barrier formed by the crisscrossing chains spread out overhead, blocking the attack of the rain of arrows.

"Found it." Sully suddenly said something that was incomprehensible.

"Uncle Sally, what did you find?" Daisey asked, wary of possible raids around him.

"The Ranger guys, they're in that building." Sully pointed to a more secluded building, a glint in his eyes, "I'm going to fight it."

As he spoke, Sully summoned a one-handed axe out of thin air, and muttered something. Seconds later, Sally vanished in place.

If Sully didn't fight the Rangers, it was likely that something would be more troublesome later, and Sully was understandable to leave the team at this time, and Daisey didn't stop him.

"Monasse, how?" Daisey looked anxiously at the civilians in the front row, and he couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"Fight!" Monasse responded categorically.

(Monasse, believe in yourself, you can do it.) ）

Monasse said to himself silently. While unfolding the "chain array" to resist the attack of the bow and arrow, he mobilized the rest of the magic power in his body to condense another spell.

(It is necessary to use a magic spell that can get past the civilians in the front row without any warning and kill the soldiers holding them hostage.) At the same time, dispose of those archers. ）

Monasse racked his brains, trying to find the one that best realized his idea among all his moves. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't always choose the right move.

"Do what you want to do directly with magic, instead of following the old-fashioned tricks and formulas, Your Highness, you have the strength." Theo? The voice sounded in Monasse's head in time, and it dawned on him.

(Is that so?) Case...... ）

Monasse closed his eyes and mobilized the magic power in his body, and a hazy magic circle appeared under his feet. When he opened his eyes again, the magic spread violently. The soldiers holding civilians hostage didn't even have time to react, and on the ground where they were standing, in an instant, chains pierced out.

Monasse, got it.
