After leaving the village where Mashiro stayed, the army of hell advanced to the next village.
Elric's third attempt at diplomacy, and his third failure.
With the strongest fighters occupied, this time the army of hell finally had a chance to shine. Of the fifteen battalions that headed west, only one entered battle while the rest continued advancing.
Ai stayed behind to help.
Although she was not really needed, she still wanted to contribute, so she remained and did her part. Since her ability focused more on individual combat than group combat, she first targeted the commander and then the strongest soldiers or the ones acting as natural leaders, killing them to throw the rest of the army into chaos.
One battalion, equivalent to three hundred low rank demons, ten mid rank demons and one high rank demon, destroyed all the defenses of the city in only ten minutes, and that was mostly because they avoided large scale attacks to prevent destroying the village. After all, a large attack from a high rank demon could easily wipe out a small village like this one.
However, it did not end there. Each battalion was ordered to take the entire city, not just defeat the enemy.
This was one of the reasons why, even though diplomacy had worked only once and against Elric himself, now Elric was the one who kept trying to negotiate.
If they managed to make them surrender somehow, it was enough to place everyone under their command.
If not, Kaito would only receive the treasure chest when the entire village was under his control. He not only had to be acknowledged, the village also could not be in chaos because in that case it would not be considered a village but a disordered territory.
So, after killing most of the soldiers except those who surrendered, they entered the city.
While they marched through the streets, the residents ran to their homes in fear when they saw unknown soldiers.
Especially because most of them could feel their power and noticed that all of them were too strong.
When they reached the mansion of the city lord, it was completely sealed.
The high rank demon commanding them did not move. He looked at Ai for instructions, recognizing her as the highest authority present.
"I will go in. Wait here."
Saying that, Ai sank into the shadows and entered the mansion. After searching for a while, she found the former city lord hiding in a secret basement.
"W-who are you? How did you get in?
