I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"I'll leave Jinghua to you."

"It is our duty to protect the Saint."

"Um."

After reminding Jinghua again not to be reluctant to use Kuro's tears, Jinghua disappeared around the corner of the courtyard while constantly looking back and waving goodbye to Ella.

Taking a deep breath, Ella raised her hand with full energy.

"Alright! Now let's start the mission to bring Angelina back! Hmm, Mitis?"

Noticing a strange atmosphere around her, Ella turned her head and saw Mitis bending down and putting her head in front of her, as if she was saying something to her with body language.

“Wha…what’s wrong?”

"Hmm."

Still without looking up at Ella, Mitis just pointed at her head.

After thinking about it for a while, Ella understood what Mitis meant - perhaps it was because she had touched Jinghua's head just now, which aroused Mitis's jealousy, and Ella's expression became weird.

"Is this really necessary..."

"I'm jealous, jealous!"

Mitis could easily say things that she would never be able to say, so much so that Ella felt embarrassed when she was asked and turned her face away. Ella casually stroked Mitis's long pink hair perfunctorily.

Is there really any point in doing this? Ella couldn't help but wonder, but Mitis was quite satisfied and let out a joyful sound from her throat. It was the kind of joy that came from wanting to laugh out loud but was afraid that it would interrupt her happy moments.

「Well, if it can cheer Mitis up, then it should be something that can be forgiven? 」

After about ten seconds, Ella put her hand down.

“Is this okay…?”

"Mmm, very satisfying."

"Then let's hurry up and reunite with Lotte and the others."

"Leave it to me."

Like a student being praised, Mitis patted her chest with excitement, then put her hands through Ella's armpits, flapped her wings, and lifted Ella off the ground.

"We have to cross the training ground before the sun comes up, okay?"

"Don't worry, I remember it better than Ella."

Nodding to Ella, Mitis, suspended ten meters above the ground, rushed towards the direction of Luty and the other two.

Chapter 65: Confrontation

*创世纪6187年11月6日 上午05:51分 库米海姆王国

"here we go."

"Well, let's have our people put up the flags as well."

Standing on the makeshift wooden tower, Camisia lowered the observation tube and looked at Lingran, who was dressed in black armor and ready to go. Ordinary standard armor would reflect the light of the moon even in the dark, so when a large number of soldiers gathered together, they would be easily discovered by enemy scouts. However, the armor of the Demon King's army was not only black, but also made of a special material that hardly reflected light, making it very suitable for operations at night.

Judging from the current situation, the coalition forces only just discovered the existence of the Demon King's army, and the troops deployed at night had the effect of surprise.

As for the current location of the Demon King's army, it is two kilometers away from the capital of Kumheim and five kilometers in the middle of the kingdom and the coalition forces of the country. Camisia had investigated beforehand and found that there were no magic cannons on the walls of the capital, and the range of magic or city defense crossbows could not reach two kilometers at all. Therefore, this is a very safe buffer zone.

Apart from the fact that Angelique was captured unexpectedly, everything was going according to plan - Camisia and Lingran were guarding the Demon King's army, the former was confronting Oz who stayed in the royal capital, and the latter was responsible for attacking the coalition forces of the Harry Kingdom and the Riglist Theocracy. As for Angelique, she was handed over to the Branch of Disaster and his group to deal with. After the baptism of the "Archangel's Kiss", Iris had recovered to her best condition yesterday. Not only that, her level was also raised from the bottleneck of level 36 to level 37.

"Lingran's mission is to quickly defeat the coalition forces and return to support the princess. Although most of the elite Kumi remaining in the castle will be diverted to defend the city walls due to our siege posture, there are still unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, Iris, as the main attacker of the team, will be ineffective against the Kumi, so Lingran, who can use large weapons, is needed as reinforcement."

"In that case, do I need to go there right now? Even if there are no subordinates in the army—"

Before Lingran could finish, Camisia placed her palm towards Lingran, signaling him to stop.

"Capturing the commander requires Lord Linglan's help. Furthermore, the only way to enter the city now is through flying magic. Oz would undoubtedly see us and go reinforce the castle, adding to the princess's burden."

"Yes, I understand."

Her boots made a soft clang on the ground, and Lingran bowed to Camisia.

Camisia narrowed her eyes slightly and looked towards the location of the coalition forces.

"It's almost dawn. I wonder if the princess has taken advantage of the cover of darkness to approach the castle..."

The castle was surrounded by a training ground with no shelter, and approaching it without being detected during the day was simply a fantasy.

After sighing, Camisia shook her head.

"No, you must trust the princess's choice. Our mission now is to bring divine punishment upon those thugs who attempt to lay their hands on her possessions."

"Lord Camisia, they should have seen the Demon King's flag."

"Oh? Are you scared?"

It's no exaggeration to say that the demon army was invincible in the northern kingdoms. Although the Kingdom of Harry and the Theocracy of Riglist sent a total of 20,000 troops, they were inevitably hesitant when faced with the well-equipped and rigorously trained Demon King's army. The fighting power of the peasants who went into battle after only simple training and the warriors who had aspired to join the Demon King's army since childhood could not be put on the same level.

Camisia raised the observation tube again and saw that the armies of the Harry Kingdom and the Riglist Church, which had been fully prepared, were just standing still, and the commander had not issued any order to advance.

"If their commander-in-chief is smart, he'll probably send someone to negotiate, offering us double or even more than what the Kingdom of Kumheim pays us in exchange for our withdrawal. Even nations that pride themselves on human supremacy will bow to so-called 'demihumans' when faced with violence."

But in fact, the Kingdom of Kumheim did not pay any compensation to the demons. The demons went on this expedition for only one reason - to assist in achieving Ella's idea. Whether it was Kiru's request or the so-called letting the continent see the power of the demons, everything was just done conveniently. If these things would affect the will of Ella, who is the center of the demons, Camisia and the demons would never put it in the position of "to be considered".

As for the reason for promoting the Demon King's gold coins to the elves, it was simply to strengthen the Demon King's influence.

Following behind Camisia, Linglan lowered her head slightly and added.

"The base races will never understand our unadulterated loyalty."

"No—Lord Linglan and I used to share the same sentiment, but things have changed a bit now. Both Lord Luty and Saint Kagami are trustworthy humans."

"Are you trying to say, Camisia-sama, that humans aren't completely despicable?"

"Well, we should believe in the potential there. That's why I only had Lord Linglan capture the commander this time. If I hadn't contacted the princess, those who intended to disrespect the Demon King would have been personally delivered to the late Demon King to apologize."

Camisia grasped the Sword of Disorder, which had transformed into a longbow.

Linglan asked in confusion.

"Wouldn't it be a recipe for disaster in the future if we let these soldiers who intend to do evil go free?"

"No, we just need to instill enough fear in them so that they won't even think about fighting us. This will be more effective than killing them outright."

The fear left behind would prevent them from raising any rebellious consciousness, and this consciousness would follow them throughout their lives, passed down to the next generation through words and deeds. Once the fear spread to the upper nobility—through the noble generals commanding the enemy's army, and with the military commanders retreating, there would be no need to even think about war—the domestic opposition to provoking the demons would grow louder, and even a country ruled by a religion would eventually be overthrown.

But there is a problem.

"Camisia-sama, without overwhelming strength, it would be difficult to instill a deep sense of fear, right?"

"Yes, that's why I didn't go down below to command the army. Instead, I stood here with Lord Linglan. Lord Linglan should still remember the artificial puppets I mentioned, right?"

"Yes."

"The reason I'm standing here is to cast—"

"Report—the coalition forces have sent an envoy requesting negotiations with us!"

The messenger, kneeling on one knee behind Camisia and Linglan, reported.

Camisia turned around and gave Lingran a smile that said, "As expected."

"Lord Linglan should know what to do, right?"

"yes!"

That is, offer a reward that the other side cannot afford, forcing the coalition forces to fight with you.

"Well then, I will wait here for good news from Lord Linglan."

"I will definitely not let you down."

"It should be the princess."

Linglan took a deep breath and lowered her head.

"For His Majesty."

Chapter 66 Overwhelming Advantage

Three quarters of an hour later.

The envoys sent by the two armies came to the front to negotiate. The coalition forces basically asked why the Demon King's army appeared in the Kingdom of Kumheim, and hoped to use more rewards to make the Demon King's army withdraw from here. Of course, the end result was that the Demon King's army envoys proposed a number that the coalition forces could not afford, which successfully broke down the negotiations. Although the commander of the coalition forces was furious, he could only helplessly summon the soldiers of both sides for emergency consultations.

The final conclusion was that with the current progress of the attack on the capital of the Kingdom of Kumheim, if they retreated, they would not only be criticized by their colleagues when they returned home, but would also face accountability from the king. Coupled with the humiliation brought by the negotiations, the coalition soldiers unanimously agreed that they should not retreat. With the indestructible golem in existence, even the opponent was a strictly trained soldier, and they would be turned into meat patties in an instant.

In the eyes of these countries far away from the demons, the power of the demons is just an illusory thing. To make an analogy, it is like Entalosfiel who displayed the tenth-order super-level magic in the Bruzea Empire of the Western Continent. In the eyes of the gods and humans of the Eastern Continent, it is just an exaggerated legend, and the actual power is definitely not as powerful as the rumors say.

Had the demons demonstrated their power over the past few hundred years, the warriors of the Harry Kingdom and the Riglist Theocracy would not have dared to make such a decision. However, the demons had been stagnant for six thousand years, and the image of their power was only the stuff of myth. Those who wake only in darkness always believe the bright moon is the brightest being in the world, but when they see true light, they tremble at its intensity.

"Lord Camisia, I will take my leave now."

After bowing to Camisia and reporting the situation, Linglan was about to step down from the platform when Camisia immediately stopped him.

"Wait, it's too early to charge into the enemy camp. How about you, Lord Linglan, stay here and watch the battle with me?"

"If that's what Camisia-sama wishes."

Retracting her foot after taking a step, Lingran turned around and faced Camisia again. The wind blowing from the plains made Camisia's red twin ponytails flutter backwards. Lingran couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly while admiring her beauty.

She simply couldn't understand why Camisia, a pinnacle warrior, would wear her hair in twin ponytails. In Linglan's eyes, long hair was a sign of incompetence. Undoubtedly, long hair would hinder combat, becoming a fatal weakness if caught by the enemy or caught in the gaps of armor. And if you factor in the hassle of daily washing and waking up, it would undoubtedly be considered a burden.

"I kept my hair long because of my mother's last wish, but Camisia-sama... no, I shouldn't pursue Camisia-sama's privacy."

Just as Linglan was inwardly admiring Camisia's perfect appearance and personality, a slight vibration suddenly came from under her feet, followed by a faint roar.

The coalition forces began to move.

Linglan turned her eyes away from Camisia. Although it was dark, she could still see the dense crowds of people two kilometers away. The dust that had turned dark because of the dawn was also raised high by the march.

"So that's the golem? As expected, it's just an ordinary stone monster."

Camisia muttered as she observed the battlefield.

The five-meter-tall stone monsters that left the Kumi helpless were lined up in a row, standing at the forefront of the coalition forces. However, perhaps due to the limited number of summoning magic casters, there were less than thirty of these stone monsters.

Even Linglan, who was not good at speaking, couldn't help but sneer at this scene.

"An army of 20,000 can only summon this many golems. Could it be that there are less than ten magic casters?"

"The cost of training magic casters is extremely high. Considering the average level of the kingdoms, this number is already quite good. Furthermore, humans are much weaker in their perception of magic than we are. Aside from being able to use support and healing magic, even their physical fitness is inferior to ours, making training them naturally difficult."

"But for us, support magic and healing magic can be compensated by using followers, right?"

Camisia nodded slightly at Linglan's words. Just as Linglan said, adult demons were indeed a race superior to humans in all aspects. However, Camisia felt that agreeing to this would displease her majesty, who advocated racial equality. Therefore, Camisia only nodded vaguely in affirmation and changed the subject.

"The golems are in the front, followed closely by the infantry and archers. I don't see any cavalry or magic caster formations... There are only three siege crossbows? Were the others damaged in the previous battle?"

As Camisia sighed, Lingran's follower, the Sapphire Bat, flew in front of Lingran from below. After communicating something with Lingran through thoughts, it stood firmly on Lingran's shoulder like a soldier.

"Lady Camisia, the Magic Chanter Corps requests to join the battle."

"No, let's have the knights and heavy infantry test the waters first. If their commander flees out of cowardice, we won't achieve our goal."

"Yes."

The sapphire bats immediately flew up upon hearing Camisia's order and returned to the army. After about three minutes, the dark army formation changed. The heavy infantry on the left wing took a few steps forward, while the soldiers on the right wing dispersed to the side, revealing the cavalry behind them wearing full body armor, holding large shields and knight lances.

The total number is less than five hundred.

If surveillance magic could detect the enemy commander's camp, Camisia would definitely laugh at his ignorance - he was secretly happy that he had only sent 500 people to the front line.

In fact, if these 500 people were just ordinary soldiers, it would certainly be a disproportionate battle, but these 500 people are all elite soldiers wearing heavy armor. A single heavily armored warrior may just be a moving target, but when they form a phalanx, the steel torrent formed by the heavy armor will even overwhelm stone monsters. So far, the only troops that can defeat heavy infantry in group battles, besides the more mobile cavalry, are the Magic Chanter Legion.

Following the command of the command flag, a team of less than 500 people slowly walked out of the formation. Then, as if a switch had been touched, they suddenly rushed towards the flank of the coalition forces. The huge roar brought by their heavy footsteps could be heard even by Camisia standing on the high platform.

"By the way, this team is the Eastern Demon Tribe—no, should I say the Eastern Tribe? Now that the princess has unified the country, it would be disrespectful to use a name like 'Eastern Demon Tribe' that implies division. Lord Linglan, this team has been disrupted and reorganized, right?"

As early as a year ago, Camisia and Dean began to mix the Eastern Demon Soldiers with the Western Demon Soldiers. However, Camisia did not prepare these things herself, but the captain of the Royal Guard, Linglan, was in charge.

"Yes, they were the first to join the group. The military expenditure spent on their training was second only to that of the Magic Chanters."

"What do you think they can achieve?"

"I personally believe that at full strength, they could penetrate one flank of the enemy. While they wouldn't be able to completely annihilate them, they would be able to disrupt their formation without suffering any casualties. In the previous battle against the Kingdom of Untermire, they managed to capture a fortress city occupied by the rebels with only 500 men."
