Sent To Isekai As Demon King's
Eps 52: Assistance Force
May 3, 1163 Zaenium.
Unkazar Kingdom, Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Nightfall.
The battle lasted a long time because all the people of Unkazar Kingdom did not want to evacuate and instead fought on the side of the soldiers. Moreover, the battle started in the afternoon. And soon night came to bring profit to their side.
Unwilling to take greater losses due to different times and geographies, Queen Tigris ordered her troops to temporarily retreat.
“Is he not here yet?” Tigris asked with an annoyed expression.
“Not yet, Your Majesty,” replied Lynx named Rins, Tigris' personal bodyguard.
“$S1.4L!” The Tigris shouted and messed up the command tent.
His son chose silence. Letting their queen let go of all her emotions.
“Overall, we are balanced with them. If there is no help, then we just have to bring out the best,” Tigris said after his emotions were slightly controlled.
“Ready, Your Highness!”
That night, they rested to maximize their strength the next day.
On the other side. Viksen is holding a command meeting. Accompanied by Qormon and many of the generals of Unkazar Kingdom.
“$1.4L! $1.4L, $1.4L, $1.4L, $1.4L, $1.4L!” Viksen stomped his feet in annoyance. “We may excel in terms of quantity, but we lose in terms of quality.”
“Mr Viksen, I think, the residents do not need to help. There were many victims, almost all of them. Let's evacuate them quickly,” Qormon's advice.
“That's right, My lord. We are here to protect the people, not anything,” said the other general.
“Gentlemen, let us help!” It was one of the respected citizens, and became an extension to the people, as well as an equal leader to the village chief. “We better die protecting our land, than running away to be a coward. Isn't that our motto?”
“Life as Winner, or die as Fighter!” the other citizens, who were attending the meeting, shouted their royal motto.
“Life as a Winner! Or killed as a Fighter!” the screams were heard many times in the meeting room.
In fact, residents who listened outside also chanted the motto. All the spirits defend their homeland. Hearing their wishes, Viksen was unable to resist. Although he was trusted by Yagwar, but he was still an outsider, and they were natives.
“Should be news of the arrival of the Emperor's forces into this kingdom already heard by Raksus. He must have mobilized troops to help us,”, Viksen told Qormon after the meeting was over. They were both left in the room.
“Ah, Mr Raksus is your sister, isn't it?” ask Qormon to make sure.
“True. He's so war crazy. He almost rejected me out of the blue because I told him to guard the kingdom when I left. She really dislikes being told and staying in one place for a long time,” explains Riksen.
“Then, why would he accept your order?”
“Of course because it was ordered by my father. Good thing my father still accepts I asked to take care of the internal matters of the kingdom. Ah, I remember telling my sister that there could be a sudden war, and I allowed her to bring troops. I did not expect that it was now,” continued Viksen.
“Pronunciation does have a strong impact, sir. I didn't even think that I could be my master's right hand. Would you like to hear the story?”
“Sit down and tell me. Night will still be very long.”
“Ah, no, it's just a short story.” Qormon sat in the chair opposite the Viksen. “Then, I intended to be strong, train every day, shout the words “I am strong” and such, and so on. Until, I was seen by Mr. Yagwar and he asked me to be his right hand.
“That really gives me motivation to be strong as time goes on. Until now, that goal has been achieved. I became the second strongest Beastman after my master in this kingdom,” Qormon said.
“The world is vast, Qormon. Even you are still the second strongest. Ye know? There are even people out there who consider yourself mediocre, even worthless. Even if there are 10 or 100 of you.
“Do you not want to take care of your master? The world is cruel.”
Viksen's words resuscitated him. What he had just achieved at this moment was still far from his true ideals.
“But, says my lord, ‘The best protector is yourself’.”
“Your master is not wrong. That is the mind of a leader. But you are the king's right hand, protector and bodyguard. Your mindset should be to become stronger than your master. In order, when your master loses to someone, or even long before he loses, you can protect him with your strength,”.
“Ah, as it turned out. You are very wise, Mr. Viksen. I'll follow your advice!” praise Qormon.
“Now, rest. There is still a battle on our doorstep.”
“Ready, Sir!”
...*****...
Unkazar Kingdom, Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Daytime.
Two armies are ready in their respective places. They look like playing hide-and-seek, cop-maling, or cat-rats. Troops led by the Tigris as cats, pursuing parties. Meanwhile, the party led by the Riksen was like a rat. They hide in places they control like their own home. Prepare to attack the enemy when it is approaching.
Fortunately, nature is taking their side. The wind moved from the south, from the Tigris, to the north, where the forces of the Unkazar Kingdom were located.
“Not heard from my sister?” ask Viksen.
“Not yet, Sir,” replied Qormon. “Supposed they got here this morning.”
On the other side.
“No word yet from Ratu Bat?” ask Tigris.
“Not yet, Your Majesty,” replied Rins. “It looks like they've really betrayed!”
“Cih, what can be done. Their arrival will be a miracle, and I don't like it! There is no need to buy time anymore. Order troops to attack.”
“Good!”
Just as Rins was about to leave, another Lynx came. He's a scout.
“Your Majesty, there are troops from the west!” report it.
“West?! Has Viksen sent his troops here to help Yagwar?” His voice sounded pessimistic.
He was stalling his initial time to wait for the arrival of additional troops from his allies. But, it was instead used by the enemy to get help as well? Of course he was very upset if that happened.
“Not, Your Grace. It's not the Servini Kingdom. It was the sky army of the Eagle Queen Kalinda. That's a relief team!”
“Auxiliary forces?”
Excited cries rang out all over the command tent.
“Hah .. ha ha. Thankfully!” The Tigris sat on his chair. He was shocked by thinking too much. “Good. What are you guys waiting for? Immediately attack those traitors!”
“Good, Your Majesty!”
The sky troops came shortly afterwards. The general of the army came into the command tent.
“Report, Miss Tigris VII,” Beastman The eagle knelt in front of the Tigris. “Heremia, Royal Air Force General Lukaszan, ready to receive your orders. His Majesty the Emperor directly gave the order.”
‘Heh, so the Emperor had also guessed about the possible betrayal of Hanafsah,’ Inner Tigris.
“At first, I thought the troops that came were from the Kingdom of Servini. Turns out it was you guys,” Tigris said.
“The forces of the Kingdom of Servini have been taken care of by other Generals. The Emperor had also anticipated King Viksen's involvement with King Yagwar,” Heremia said.
“Eh, so they're actually coming? I didn't expect it.” Tigris looked surprised. ‘It turns out the Emperor is better prepared than I thought. I thought he was just ‘King of Forest’ figuratively, but it seems like it is true as it is.’
The optimistic nature was clearly visible now on their faces. Highly inversely proportional to the opposite side.
“Your Majesty! There's an army from the west!” report the scouts from the Unkazar Kingdom.
“Finally, your sister came too, Mr. Viksen,” said Qormon was relieved.
“Not, Sir. It was the sky army of the Kingdom of Lukaszan,” reply the scouts who reported.
The happy face now turned grim. Hope does not fit with reality.
