「Hey! The people in the distance listen to my voice, the people in the vicinity come closer and watch carefully. I am the well-known [Golden Armor], the feudal lord of Nippo town, named [Rondo Warstar]!1 You heinous Devils! Fight a duel with me without trying to avoid it!」
Outside the cave which serves as the exit/entrance of the Devil race’s town, Rondo raises h.e.l.l with a loud voice using the [Megaphone] I lent him.
But, why the historical drama style?
Also, the language that Rondo is speaking is [Devil Language].
Somehow or other, the region around here seemed to have been recognized as the territory of the [Devil race], so he was able to acquire the [Devil Language] with [Temporary Language Acquisition Magic Stone +2].
Surprised at the very loud volume of the [Megaphone], the Devils come out from the cave one after another.
Alright, with this opportunity, I……
◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊
I teleported towards Bunmi-san, who was concealing himself in the biggest slave POW camp, with [Teleportation].
「Bunmi-san, how’s the situtation.」
「Oh, it’s Seiji-dono, huh. There’s no changes here at the moment. However, it’s really hard to converse when you couldn’t see the people talking to you.」
I had the 3 people, Bunmi-san, Ca.s.sandra-san and Hilda turned their bodies invisible with [Invisibility Magic Stone] and had them watch over the POW camp.
That [Invisibility Magic Stone] was made beforehand.
By the way, I had the three people hold hands in order for them to not lose each other.
By the way of the by the way, Ca.s.sandra-san is the center.
「Seiji, how long are we going to wait?」
Muu, it’s Ca.s.sandra-san, huh, it’s really hard to converse when you couldn’t see the one talking to you.
「Rondo is attracting the attention of the Devils right now. Please wait a little bit more.」
「Un.」
After waiting for a while, the movements of the Devils became lively, of the 10 or so people standing guard, around half of them went outside the town.
They are probably going towards the place where Rondo, who is raising h.e.l.l outside the town, is as reinforcements.
「Alright, it seems good now. Everyone, split up and take on the remaining guards.」
「「Ooh!」」
There are 5 Devil guards in total; 1 of them is sitting in the guardroom while the rest are patrolling on the walls in pairs.
Ca.s.sandra-san and Hilda will take on the fellow in the guardroom.
As for the 2 pairs patrolling on the walls, Bunmi-san and I decided to take on a pair each.
The first to move are Ca.s.sandra-san and Hilda.
Hilda covered the one, who seemed to be taking a break, in the guardroom with a sack from behind and then surprisingly, Ca.s.sandra-san tied a rope around him using that opportunity, neutralizing him.
Hilda uses a small [Fire Magic] in the POW camp’s open s.p.a.ce, signaling that their strategy has succeeded.
Bunmi-san and I started to move simultaneously at the signal, while I put the 2 of them asleep with [Sleep] magic, Bunmi-san mowed the other 2 without hesitation.
As expected of Bunmi-san.
After annihilating the Devil guards, the 4 of us removed the [Invisibility] magic and appeared before the captured people.
「Everyone, we came to help!」
「Seriously!? I didn’t think that help will come.」
When I called out to the captured people, the Humans shouted in delight.
『I’m the Demon Bunmi! My fellows who fell into the enemy’s hands, I came to help you!』
『Ooh! We’re saved, it’s Bunmi-dono!』
The Demons, too, seeing Bunmi-san’s figure, shouted in delight.
Is Bunmi-san perhaps a celebrity among the Demons?
「Well then, everyone, since I will take you to a safe place with magic, join hands in a circle, 20 people at a time.」
There are probably around 500 Humans and around 60 Demons?
I start to shuttle them outside the Devil race’s town with [Teleportation Magic], 20 people at a time.
This number of people, even I may get a little tired……
◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊
It was then when I’ve transferred about half of them over……
Piーーーーーー!!
A sound, which seems to have come from whistle of sort, resounded in the area.
Hearing the sound of that whistle, Devils gathering at the POW camp can be seen.
「Not good, we’ve been discovered. Bunmi-san, Ca.s.sandra-san and Hilda, please prevent them from approaching until I’m done transporting them.」
「Count on me!」「Leave it to me.」「I’ll do my best!」
While the 3 people were holding back the Devils, I have to hurry shuttling the people out.
Ironically, the tall walls that prevent the slaves from getting away were conversely blocking the Devils’ a.s.sault.
Bunmi-san stands imposingly in the middle of the entrance with a daunting pose while Ca.s.sandra-san and Hilda will cover him from the rear, is their battle formation.
The enemies coming front the front were cut down by Bunmi-san while the enemies, who were trying to pa.s.s through the sides, were blown away by Ca.s.sandra-san and had their bodies covered in flames by Hilda.
The Demons and some Humans that were captured made an offer to fight, but all of those who have fighting ability have [Slave Collar] attached on them, thus unable to fight.
After shuttling repeatedly for a while, I somehow managed to transport all of them into a safe place.
「Rescue, finished! Let’s go to the next camp.」
Looking at the crowd of Devils that have been thinned out, I called out to Bunmi-san and the others and used [Teleportation] towards the next camp.
◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊
「Mai-san, are you alright?」
「I just tidied everything up……or so I thought. It seems the next enemies have come, I’m off for a bit.」
At the place, there were several knocked-out Devils scattered about.
「Then, Hilda and I will be going ahead first towards the place where Aya is, Bunmi-san, Ca.s.sandra-san, I’ll leave this place to you guys.」
「Roger!」「Un.」
Entrusting the place to the 3 people, Hilda and I used [Teleportation] towards the place where Aya is.
◊♦◊♦◊♦◊♦◊
『Ahーーーー!!』
The moment we arrived at the place where Aya is, a coa.r.s.e scream of a Devil echoed out.
It was the moment that the Devil, which received Aya’s vital strike, fell face down, holding his b.u.t.t.
「Aya, are you alr…it looks like you are, huh.」
「Ah, onii-chan and Hilda-chan, were you worried about me and came to help? It’s tiring as they are slightly numerous, but I’m still alright~.」
Aya, though surrounded by numerous Devils, was going around performing Vital Attack at the Devils with stab, stab while avoiding their attacks with fast movements.
Whenever a Devil’s vital was stabbed, “hooray!”, cheers erupted from the people, who were captured at the POW camp, watching at a distant location.
Aya, while responding to such cheers with a smile, repeatedly ‘danced wildly unmatched2‘.
「Hilda, since I will get these people out of here, I leave a.s.sisting Aya to you.」
「Yes, understood.」
When Hilda went up to help Aya, a huge flame tornado formed at the location where Aya was ‘dancing wildly unmatched’ and a magnificent applause erupted from the spectating people.
「Alright, everyone, I’m going to get you guys out of here with magic~!」
I persuade the people, who were being impossible asking to spectate some more, and shuttle the 100 or so people there to a safe place.
「Haah, I’m done rescuing everyone~.」
「Sigh, the audience has disappeared.」
Aya lost her motivation as soon as the audience has disappeared, leaving the Devils alone, she ran away towards me with Hilda.
「Onii-chan, quickly, let’s escape. It’s a bit exhausting.」
「Since there’s one more POW camp remaining, hold on for a bit more.」
「Yes.」
I, along with Aya and Hilda, went towards the last POW camp, which were being defended by Bunmi-san and the others with [Teleportation].
