The new demon king’s army entered the forest.
We decided to confront them: me, Aurene, Sylph Obaa-san, and Flamberge.
The sun set, and a black, muscular, two-horned monster appeared before us.
With a lot of monsters behind him.
“Are you the Golden Eyes Demon…?”
“Nyaa— (Who is that?)”
“I’m Demon King Gorn. I’m here in this forest to take my revenge.”
“Bububub! (That’s the Golden Eyes Demon! It’s the Golden Eyes Demon!)”
The pig-faced beast says during the conversation between the Demon King Gorn-san and me.
“I see, so you’re the one who killed David the High Orc grawhhhhh!”
At the same time, Gorn-san shouted; fire and lightning flew from the monsters behind him.
We retreated and dodged.
“I won’t let you leaveeee!!”
Gorn-san also tries to hit me.
And I roll to avoid it.
“Nyaa— (Wait! The High Orcs attacked us out of the blue.
It was self-defense. It wasn’t my fault.)”
If I hadn’t had Yotsuba on my back, I might have had time to discuss it with the High Orcs.
Well, if they bother to listen.
“Don’t mess with meeeee! Are you going to talk back to the Demon King?!
Shut up and let me kill youuuu!”
…Who is this crazy guy?
Doesn’t the new demon king listen to people?
“Grawwrrr! (Demon King, please step back!
This is our gfkk—”
An arrow pierces the leopard-like monster’s head, which is all red.
Oh, it’s a cute, cat-like beast!
Its whole body is about 7 meters long!
“Leave the small fry to me~!”
The poisoned arrows fired by Aurene.
Her arrows are accurately shot one after another.
While Sylph Obaa-san is releasing lightning blasts from the shadows.
Framberge defeats and eats the monsters that attacked.
“Graoow (Only 107 more to go before my body is restored…)”
“Whyyyyy! Why are my soldiers being defeated by these bastards??!”
The monsters he has brought with him are not well organized at all.
Moreover, the forest topography is complex, so their movements would be sluggish if they came here yesterday or today.
Plus, despite her appearance, Aurene is an expert in archery who could overpower the heroes, Sylph Obaa-san is a former demon king, and Flamberge used to be a dragon.
We may be outnumbered, but we have the advantage over them.
“Nyaon (If you leave, I won’t chase you down.
Hurry up and leave.)”
He says while avoiding Gorn’s attack.
The attack is monotonous, with no feigning or anything, just brute force.
I have tried to persuade him many times in a while.
If the leader will return home, the other beasts won’t have to die in vain.
Maybe I’m not doing a good job persuading him, but he’s not listening to me.
Or maybe I’m just not very good at persuading him.
“Nyaa— (If you retreat, the lives of many beasts won’t be wasted.
Give the order to retreat quickly.)”
“Don’t tell me what to do!”
It doesn’t work. No matter what I say, he won’t listen to me.
At this rate, many beasts will lose their lives because of this incompetent demon king.
That’s enough. It is better to defeat him and break their hearts.
I jumped on Gorn and bit his neck off.
