Episode 31 – Disruption of Balance (1)
[You can see their city. It is a large city with an estimated population of tens of thousands or more.]
The flying species flew in the sky as high as possible so as not to be seen. Appropriately borrowing the habits and instincts of flying beasts, forming a certain formation and moving precisely at the same speed, in a way, more programmed drones than flying beasts.
“They took a considerable number of troops, 100,000, from around them. Wouldn’t the power be weakened a bit?”
[It seems like a meaningless calculation given the nature of the goblin species.]
The demon king calculated the combat power of the remaining troops in the city. Of course, the absolute fighting power would have fallen. However, the goblin species, the ‘Evils’ living in the ‘Pandemonium’, cannot calculate their combat power in an ordinary way.
Because they were a race that did not differentiate between male and female, and between adult and old age.
Goblins who have become adults after sub-adults grow quickly and the rate of aging that comes at the end of their lifespan is faster.

Naturally, members of almost every generation can be mobilized into battle while young and nimble, so if there are any goblins left in the city, all of them will become a force.
[But even if it is, there is no problem. Our goal is to do as much damage as possible and draw their attention. Power is sufficient now.]
The enemy would not be formidable, but the demon king was sure that the plan would succeed.
It wasn’t that I was trying to capture that big city anyway. Ultimately, it is a war of attrition. And the war of attrition, in which each other consumes resources and fights desperately, was one of the things the demon king was most confident about.
[Prepare for lessons.]
Soon the flying species began to lower their altitude in unison. The goblins on the ground were startled and panicking as if they had already discovered it.
[storm.]
Without hesitation, the demon king ordered them to dive down and attack them. Instantly, the flying species immediately put their heads down and descended towards the ground at high speed.
“Rain, emergency! emergency!”
The city of goblins, called Kar by their name, was attacked for the first time in their lives by a large-scale air raid by flying species of the Demon King’s army.
“Contact the King immediately!”
A red-skinned goblin, favored by the goblin king Andras, who had become a kind of mayor of the city, widened his eyes in amazement.
Harpies and succubuses, it’s not like I haven’t fought enemies that fly in the sky when I’m fighting the former demon lord’s army. But I didn’t expect there to be so many.
“Fire the defense crossbow!”
In a hurry, arrows fired from large ballistas installed throughout the city cut through the air and rushed toward the Demon King’s army. Since it imitated the ballista that flowed in from the outside during the Great War, its power is certain. The carapace was shattered by an arrow equivalent to a spear, and the pierced flying species quickly fell to the ground.
Since flying species had the weakest defense among all types of troops, the assault at the cost of sacrifice was an inevitable choice.
“You, too many…”
However, the demon army was too many compared to the defense facilities. There was absolutely no reason to back down just because he was hit by a crossbow and died a little.
“Stop it!”
“Key, key hit…!”
In the end, the Demon King’s army succeeded in reaching the ground, ignoring almost all resistance. Those who guarded the wall, those who hid in the tower and manipulated the ballista, and those who ran on the ground screamed and were swept away.
[Prepare for battle.]
“Lord, Zuke!”
“can win. Fight!”
[Goblin Market Zukeㆍ1st Awakeningㆍlv 34]
Watching the three goblins snatched by their claws fall from the sky and smash to pieces, Zuke manages to come to his senses and lead his men against the enemies who storm the city. His magic, which he cast while wielding a staff, was clearly effective, and he was able to kill three enemies flying here with one blow.
‘It’s an opportunity. can win! How dare you think that monsters like you can take over this city I rule!’
The moment the exploding corpse of the enemy falls.
Zook widened his eyes and felt the power flow through his body, gritting his teeth. After the Great War ended, the feelings of joy that he hadn’t felt for a while wriggled in his heart again.
[Enemy resistance is quite strong, but within the calculation range.]
The goblins gathered around Zuke desperately resisted. In particular, when attacking from inside the structure, the Demon King’s army lacked the strength to break through. Anyway, the Demon King’s army only mobilized flying species.
[Goes into destruction.]
The Demon King executed the operation according to the calculation.
The enemies who resisted were driven out as much as possible, and where they could be destroyed was destroyed unconditionally. This gigantic goblin city, hewn out of stone from the bedrock, was not easy to destroy even for the less powerful flying species, but they did their best nonetheless.
Although the city was built on bedrock, they set fire to as many places as they could burn, and killed as many as possible. They brought stones and dropped them to make a mess of the fields, broke household items, and threw bodies into wells.
“Those crazy monsters!”
Realizing that this was not a simple fair fight, Zuke jumped out of hiding in amazement.
As if this was the purpose from the beginning, he ignored Zuke who came out and continued his destruction.
“Protect. Be sure to keep it!”
His face dyed with the joy of victory suddenly became contemplative, and while he was surprised by the situation of his troops that had collapsed before he knew it, he began to run to defend the city somehow instead of killing the enemy.
“They are leaving!”
“We won!”
And when their resistance intensified, the flying species stopped all actions for an instant and took off into the sky again.

Naturally, the other goblins shouted as if they had won. From an ignorant standpoint, the monsters trying to take over the city seemed to fail and be defeated.
“Shut up, you fools! Do you guys think those monsters really came to take over this place?!”
“Yes?! Ha, but then what the hell are those guys attacking for? And if that wasn’t the real purpose, does that mean there’s a separate boss controlling them?”
“······that’s!”
While resenting his stupid subordinates, he was taken aback by the question he heard. The guys he was dealing with now were monsters like wild beasts, but every action was meticulous and well-organized. Like an army under command.
“Ah, anyway, hurry up and tell the king. and restore the city. If farming is ruined, it is a problem starting with spending this winter.”
Grabbing his pounding head, he quickly ordered the goblin king Andras to tell the story. Still, if you thought that this was all, you wouldn’t be able to hold on.

“O king! Hundreds of monsters running the land in the South right now…”
“The city of Kar near here has been attacked by thousands of monsters!”
“Now they have crossed the river. It looks like they’re targeting Kuzan!”
“That, stop. stop!”
Goblin King Andras closed his eyes and shouted.
The news brought by the servants who came running in a hurry was all the same, that unknown monsters had begun raiding major cities and causing damage.
“My king. The enemies now attacking from all directions are unidentified monsters clad in black armor, and they must be the monsters that 100,000 of our troops are advancing to subjugate.”
“I don’t know how the hell they could act like that, but they’re openly trying to deceive us! To shake our main unit!”
“But the damage in other areas is too great if ignored. This will ruin all our growth plans.”
“Ah! These scum!”
At the ‘growth plan’ mentioned by his confidant, Andras was furious like a fit.
He made a long and painstaking plan to surpass other lords and faithfully implemented it. Only for the great goblins to grow and gain greater power. But now, all of that was on the verge of collapse.
“The main unit… Divide the main unit in half. Even for the sake of the future, what must be protected must be protected. to bear in mind. Our real enemies are not those grotesque monsters, but the other lords!”
In the end, Andras, who had more to protect and more to lose, had no choice but to divide his main unit in half while embracing the thought of being defeated.
It was a plan to catch both rabbits by placing the divided troops on the main roads to protect the territory and attack the rest directly. This is also a decision that can be made because you are looking at one side.
[The enemy’s main force begins to divide. It is according to the contents of hypotheses 2-3 that we established.]
However, all of this process was visible in the eyes of the demon king who planted the camouflaged scouts in advance.
[If they put an end to the offensive and focus on defense as in Hypothesis 1, or if they ignore the allies’ deception and launch a one-point breakthrough as in Hypothesis 3, I think this war might end soon.]
“how?”
[You can reverse the main body of the enemy who has been cut in half.]
Seeing the level of the goblins responding to his tactics, the Demon King was convinced that his chances of victory had increased.
[We will prepare for a large-scale rotation.]
“Can you really win?”
[Simulation through the acquired data is perfect. The damage will be great, but if you subdue the enemies and produce troops again to accumulate damage to the enemies, you will win]
The demon king said only realistic calculations without lies, exaggerations, or reductions.
After learning about the special powers of goblins, such as level and magic training, I thoroughly prepared and prepared. Even if the goblins resisted more fiercely, they thought they could push on as long as their numbers were cut in half.
[Beta-grade soldiers armed with state-of-the-art power are in the forefront.]
Their armor, which looked heavier than before, was unusual. Their armor, which had a dark purple color close to black as if it had been contaminated, was made using the data of the invasive Bicorne Beast he handed over to them.
This armor, which requires a certain thickness and cannot cover the entire body, including the joints, has sufficient strength and defense.
“great······. attack.”
He believed in the confident devil.
I tried all kinds of tactics, but in the end, this one fight is the difference between victory and defeat. Soon, the Demon King’s army also started marching towards the enemies approaching here.
[I don’t avoid it. He seems confident that he can win.]
The goblin main force was approaching without hesitation even when they saw the demon lord army. They, who had already heard the news from other places, also thought that this one time they could win or lose.
