Suddenly, its golden eyes turned in my direction, squinting as if trying to see clearly. "Oh! Angel of Death! It is I, Prince Damian of the Great Paragon Empire!" As if interrupting the angel in the sky, the idiot prince stepped forward, his arms spread forward in a theatrical display. His voice sounded as if he were overjoyed to have gandered at its splendor. "It is I who have called for you, esteemed one! In accordance with the ancient contract, I hereby command you to wipe out this barbaric…-

"..." Right now, I couldn't see anyone trying to destroy the chains, though. So, is the one who called the gate not present on this battlefield? "No!" I quickly detected movement from the middle of their formation, right at the center of their teleportation array. The stupid prince, he's preparing to destroy the chains! I gritted my teeth before waving my sword once. If nobody stopped him, then I fear something bad would happen. From my gut feeling, although it sounds impossible, the…

"Will!" Suddenly, Goddess Blanc pulled me into an embrace, placing her body between me and the army. At that instant, something weird happened. Both Zeshion and Vermeil's attacks were suddenly hit by a powerful force, completely neutralized. The attack was fired by those five armored men behind the "assumed to be" prince of the empire. When they cancelled out the two attacks, however, the force dissipated in all directions, sending the soldiers nearby flying to god knows where. What attack? I…

I was just casually swinging my sword at anyone who dared approach, making sure to hit a vital to not let them suffer for long. Compared to Zeshion, who was literally pummeling anyone who came close until they were flattened, or Vermeil, who was turning anyone in her range into ashes, I still seem a lot "kinder" compared to them. "But at this rate, this war will take ages to end!" Having no choice, I need to increase the pace a little more. My usual sword techniques aren't effective enough to wipe…

*TACK!* However, just like before, it misfired. Confusion was painted on their faces. After all, the guns must've worked well for them the entire time, enough to earn their seal of approval and believe it wouldn't betray their trust. However, due to Ember's protective measures implemented with Fatima's help, the gun wasn't firing anymore. It was an obvious outcome for us, who know the truth, but it must've felt like heaven and earth were turning upside down for them. Anyway, just like that, our…

Finally, after looking at the time, I stood up. "Alright, that's one hour. Let's go." Before I could even turn around, Zeshion had already opened a portal leading to the southern end of the country's borders. The exit location was up in the sky, but for some reason, the air felt solid enough to let us walk forward. Did Zeshion do this too? Anyway, I turned to look down, and as expected, the Empire's army didn't retreat. Not even one of them backed away; they were all standing in attention and…

It took them roughly an hour to finally completely secure the area they needed to hold their entire army. As soon as they completed the perimeter, they stood around the borders, keeping watch over the incoming demons and clearing them. As they stood on standby, the portal then began to spew out the other members of the army. Batch after batch, their tamers began flooding out and moving out of the way immediately. It was as if they already had a location they had to stand on beforehand, as they ran…

To address that, I pulled in the entire Cleaver Kingdom to participate in creating bullets. Despite them losing a lot of lives during the previous attack, their population was still over 1 million. Even if only half of them worked, that would multiply the production of bullets by over a hundred times. However, this time, the production of casings was the one that wasn't able to keep up. Together with the dwarves, we spent a total of three days addressing this problem, creating a proper mass…

"You're in no position to negotiate, you know? Let's do it this way: you tell me everything, without a shred of lie, and I'll consider taking you in as my country's people." When I said that, he opened his mouth without hesitation. Heck, he even had a smile on his face as he talked! The information coming from him matched the other two, and even though I tried to pressure him, telling a lie that his information was different from the first two, he quickly denounced them as telling lies and that his…

'There are sixteen presences, with half at 9th-stage and the rest between 5th and 8th stages...' With their formation and the composition of their assault group, I guess they have quite a fair chance of taking my life. Well, that's if they could take me by surprise, though. Of course, I can't simply call the girls here, asking for backup. If I did that, with the large fluctuations in space caused by teleportation, the assassins would quickly notice and retreat. To avoid that, I decided to do it a…
