Prince Harry, riding on his horse, showed a happy expression and added while turning his horse's head to look at the army behind him.
"We're bringing an army of 400 this time, so even if they have Crimson Gold-rank adventurers, there's no need to worry."
As long as the soldiers holding shield towers stood in front and the magic casters and archers shot from the back, even large monsters would be captured due to excessive physical exhaustion. As for whether the girls' skin would be hurt, the two were not particularly worried. With the help of an intermediate healer, it would be difficult to leave scars if the treatment was timely.
"Prince, shall we set off now?"
"Of course, that's right. We'll subdue them all before they can react. The cavalry will go ahead, and the shield officers will follow closely behind. If we encounter resistance, we'll immediately return and reorganize the formation."
"""yes!"""
The soldiers responded in unison, and then Prince Harry charged with the cavalry.
◇
The carriage was traveling across the endless plains. Unlike when they went up the mountain, Lotte was now in charge of the driving while Ella was sitting inside the carriage to rest.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Ella looked at Camisia hesitantly.
"Um... When will Linglan and the others arrive?"
"They left Shine City in the south this morning. They must be very close to us."
"You must be kidding!"
After opening her mouth as wide as it could, Ella lowered her head helplessly. It would have been fine if only Linglan and a small group of soldiers showed up, but Linglan brought a huge army of four thousand people. Even if she wanted to explain, she would not be able to do so clearly, and her identity as the Demon King would definitely be revealed to Jinghua.
[It’s embarrassing just thinking about it! ]
Not only Jinghua would be embarrassed, but he himself would also be extremely embarrassed. However, at this point, he could not speed up to get rid of Linglan. If the soldiers who deliberately came to greet him were to miss him, they would probably be extremely disappointed, especially since the other side still had a full 4,000 people. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"Who is Linglan?"
Jinghua widened his eyes in curiosity.
"He is Lady Ella's personal bodyguard among the demons."
"Huh? Why does Ella have a personal bodyguard?!"
"Because Lady Ella is Lady Ella."
“Hmm…”
Kamisia's answer made Jinghua pause for a moment, but he immediately continued to ask.
"Who is Camisia then? She seems very close to Ella."
For some reason, Camisia's brows were slightly raised, and her expression gave people the feeling that she was in a good mood.
"I'm... um..."
Because she had to keep her identity secret, Camisia was a little embarrassed for a moment, pursing her lips and falling into deep thought. After a moment, Camisia suddenly looked as if she remembered something, and revealed a look of daze. However, there was a rare hesitation on her usually serious face, and her eyes also wandered in the air.
"I don't know if saying this will offend Ella-sama... but I think I can say that I am Ella-sama's sister."
【elder sister? 】
Ella opened her mouth slightly and blinked in confusion, but she soon thought of what she had said before in the Palace of the Branch of Disaster. At that time, she told Camisia that Camisia was a reliable sister to her.
"You're using honorifics even though you're my sister?"
"This is a custom among the demons."
"Oh~oh, I see. The demons are really a strange race. I thought Camisia was a noble before."
Jinghua nodded thoughtfully, his gaze wandering between Ella and Camisia.
"Even though they don't look alike at all, the atmosphere is surprisingly suitable."
"It would be a pleasure. By the way, Kagamika, are you planning on going to the capital of the Kingdom of Kumiheim? I think I could be of some help."
"Well, I've decided to go to the capital. Although I don't intend to become a saint, I want to at least explain the matter to the God. With Olds here, I don't have to worry about my safety on the road. I've already received enough favors, and I really can't accept your kindness anymore."
"Really? I clearly admire you."
Camisia sighed in frustration.
The person who answered was Angelica, who was riding a horse and listening by the car window.
"If Jinghua doesn't become a saint, then there won't be anyone left in the Kingdom of Kumiheim who can be a saint, right?"
"Is Angeline not allowed? Or do you not like the life of a saint?"
"No, I can't say I like it, nor do I hate it. Although the Kumi are very nice to me, it's still more freeing to travel with little Ella."
"As expected, I guessed that Angelina would answer like this."
Jinghua smiled bitterly and wanted to stretch his body, but because there was not enough space to move, he could only withdraw his hand awkwardly.
Against the backdrop of the sound of the carriage's wheels passing by, the Kumi following behind the crowd suddenly knocked on the carriage from the side.
"Lord Ella, please look over there!"
"Is that... the army?"
Angelica outside revealed the other party's identity. Ella, who had been listening to the conversation with trepidation, immediately withdrew her thoughts and focused on searching the terrain.
"We seem to be the target? Do they think we're bandits? No, the leaders are Prince Harry and Earl Wood. This doesn't sound good."
"Well, after all this time, those guys should have figured out our identities by now."
There was no sign of nervousness in her tone as Mitis lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Looking at this momentum, they're probably trying to outnumber us and wipe us out. Lotte, could you please stop the carriage? I want to teach these guys a lesson, especially that guy called Prince Harry."
"Alright, Ms. Mitis, please be aware of the other magic caster."
"That guy wouldn't be able to withstand even a single blow."
With her feet on the driver's seat of the carriage, Mitis jumped out directly and took out an umbrella from the storage magic with a handsome posture.
"Looks like there are around 500 of them? Maybe even less. Well, it doesn't matter how many of these scumbags come."
The difference in strength between the soldiers, whose highest level does not exceed level 20, and Mitis, who has entered the quasi-hero realm, can be described as the light of a firefly compared to the bright moon. When the opponent does not have the ability to fly, Mitis can even leisurely fly to high altitudes to carry out carpet bombing.
"Sir, let's retreat for now! There are too many of them!"
Seeing that Mitis was about to fight, Olds of the Kumi tribe quickly tried to comfort him, and at the same time commanded the Kumis to protect the carriage and form a battle formation to meet the attack.
"Let us buy time. I'm counting on you, the Saint!"
"No, no, just leave it to me."
Confidently placing her hands on her chest, Mitis showed a smile that exposed her vampire fangs.
At the same time, Ella in the carriage also encountered a problem that was hard to describe.
"Lord Ella, you seem to know those who attacked us."
"Well."
Because she had originally intended to keep it a secret from Camisia, Ella couldn't help but pause.
Seeing Ella's hesitation, Camisia's face showed a hint of anxiety.
"Please tell me."
"Hmm, since they're actively looking for trouble with us...there's no need to hold back."
After advising herself, Ella told Camisia about her previous experience outside the Colosseum, where Prince Harry deliberately made things difficult for her.
However, unlike the scene that Ella imagined Camisia would be furious, Camisia was now unusually calm - except for her smile which was a little scary.
"Tsk, tsk, it's interesting that something like this actually happened."
"Um, where is Camisia going?"
"I am merely assisting Lord Mitis. Don't worry, Princess. I will bring Prince Harry to you."
As she said this, Camisia slightly moved her neck, and her swaying crimson twintails looked exceptionally gorgeous at this moment.
But Camisia wasn't the only one who took action. Iris also stood up from her seat.
"Ah, a mere stray dog dares to treat the person I like with disrespect? Since you've offered yourself to me, I'll accept it without hesitation."
With an amused hum, Iris took off her disguised blonde hair, and her long, pure silver hair cascaded out like a waterfall. The soft luster reflected by it could make even a woman stunned.
"Wait——Not only Camisia, but Iris too!?"
It will definitely turn the surrounding area into a wasteland!
Imagining the scene after the battle, Ella couldn't help but shudder. But by the time she reacted, the two had already flown to a distance where sound couldn't reach them.
"Wait a minute! What's going on, Princess? And why can Camisia and Miss Iris fly? That's magic you can only learn at level 30!"
His mouth gradually widened and his eyes became wider, as if he was possessed by a demon. Jinghua grabbed Ella's shoulders tightly and shook her continuously. Ella could even see crystal liquid similar to tears in the corners of Jinghua's eyes.
But before Ella could answer, a shout from outside interrupted Jinghua's questioning.
"Everyone in the carriage, listen up! This is Lord Wood's army. The Lord wants to search your luggage. Everyone, please put it down—"
boom!
Like a rooster with its neck strangled, the loud noise like thunder immediately shut up the person who was shouting.
Black smoke rose in the wilderness. When everyone fell silent, a heroic declaration came from the distant hillside. Even though the two sides were separated by a great distance, they could still see the array of magic cannons and the obvious flag of the Demon King.
"The Demon Expeditionary Force, under the command of Demon Lord Mistin, is here. Everyone, lay down your weapons!"
Chapter 34: A brief but magnificent exit
"That's... Linglan?"
Because the dusk light just happened to shine behind the army, Ella could only identify the person coming by the sound.
"My lords, please leave quickly. This is not a place to stay for long."
Olds lifted the curtain of the carriage and spoke anxiously to the three people inside.
"But Camisia and the others haven't returned yet."
"We will go to assist Lady Camisia. Lady Saint, please go ahead!"
Jinghua slowly lowered his hands from Ella's shoulders, frowned, and pursed his lips.
"but--"
"Don't worry, Miss Kagamika. Trust Miss Kamisia and the others. Everything will be fine."
While guiding the three people out of the carriage, Luty comforted them. Since the area nearby was a relatively desolate wilderness, the view became wider. From Ella's position, it was easy to see that two groups of soldiers were confronting each other. Prince Harry was less than a thousand yards away from her, while the expeditionary force led by Linglan was on a hillside farther away.
Judging from the number of people alone, the battle was definitely a foregone conclusion—the number of demon soldiers outnumbered Prince Harry by ten times.
"Hmm, that's Linglan?"
"For the time being... yes?"
Ai La nervously explained to Jing Hua who was swallowing.
"So what's with the title Princess? Is Ella actually a princess of some country?!"
"If I tell Jinghua the truth, won't Jinghua become polite to me because of this?"
This is also the reason why I have never told Jinghua my true identity.
Taking a deep breath, Jinghua's gaze wandered between the armies led by Ella and Linglan. The appearance of the movable magic cannon here was very telling. Even though he had only recently arrived in this world, he was well aware of the power of the magic cannon. It was a weapon that even the legendary dragons were afraid of.
Do you really not care about your identity?
Jinghua could give the answer immediately, no, even in the previous world, there was an existence that was infinitely close to class. For her who had lived at the bottom of society for a long time, if she wanted to change this concept, it would take at least years to settle down.
"Maybe... maybe..."
Jinghua spoke his mind honestly.
"Then I'd better not tell Jinghua."
"how come!"
Ella's unexpected answer made Jinghua's voice rise, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Ella replied with some confusion.
"Well, it's okay if I don't say it. If I do, it'll just bother me."
