The Battle of Falsas

There was a wilderness with the name of Falsas.

Now, however, it was nothing but a wilderness. Through a certain rampant magic, the imperial capital and everything else disappeared.

An army made its appearance in an area just right to deploy its forces in.

The demon army came from the north, occupying a hillock and being vigilant of the enemies that were coming from the other three directions.

In terms of replenishing their supplies, the demon army was at a disadvantage. This was the human races territory, after all. Even though theyd occupied everything behind them, even ignoring the giant races among them, they were still a 500,000 strong host. Them fighting a war of attrition was unthinkable.

What are demons? For humanity, they were pure evil. For the humans, it was impossible to allow them to stay in mankinds territory forever.

Although they had no less than double their enemys troop count, he didnt think that that was enough to win.

The demon army was composed of many strong races like goblins, orcs, kobolds, and beastkin. They werent lacking in races well-versed in magic like dark elves, vampires, nagas, and three-eyes, either.

The demon army dispatched a dark elf envoy to this awfully composed commander. The message was that if they were given these devastated lands, they wouldnt advance any further for the time being.

In a certain sense, that was the beginning of a mutual understanding.

Their face-off reached the tenth day.

Whereas the golems so far looked as though they were wearing knight armor, this golem was more animalistic. It looked like the silhouette that forsook everything to run.

Even setting aside the various races and equipment, this robots existed stalled the allied forces movement.

And then the eleventh day arrived.

Unable to endure their impulses to fight that were even stronger than a humans, it was a force of trolls that decided to attack of their own volition.

Move freely! If youre still alive when this is over, Ill lash you with my whip!

They didnt say it, but the staff felt that that wouldve actually been a reward.

After having a back and forth with magic, the fighting started.

As for the demons magic, it was focused on something much more annoying: Casalias dragoons.

Be ready for attacks from above! That stuff isnt magic!

The same happens to their strong individuals standing alone, their numbers decreasing.

The demon army held a stronger war potential.

They numbered 500,000 and 1,200,000 before the confrontation, so any smaller tactics now would be meaningless.

Sound the retreat gong! Ill be heading out with the Machine God!

The demon armys retreat began.

Moreover, a giant blue golem stood as the armys rear guard.

Notify your troops, pursuit is meaningless.

Indeed, the demon army had still maintained control over themselves, aiming for that.

Rei muttered to herself, but she felt that everything was proceeding nicely.

However, in truth, the allied forces were dissatisfied.

And Sion had stopped them from doing just that.

The second battle to occur between the demons and the allies would not have Sion in command of it.

The demon army retreated to the outskirts of the empires territory.

His figure suddenly appeared midair on the robots shoulder. The feeling of that happening was transmitted to Rei, who was inside of the robot.

Your Majesty!?

Even though theyd heard that their Demon King was a human, the only people theyd seen for hundreds of years were his aides.

I am sorry. For this to happen while Your Majestys army was under my supervision

War is something of chance. Our enemies numbers are great, it couldnt be helped.

Then, the Demon King stopped their advance and started giving a speech.

However, he added something at the end.

There was nothing in existence that could raise the Demon Kings armys morale more than that.

They were robots that looked the same as Reis and there were ten of them.

Each time one of the robots appeared, the Demon Kings troops morale increased even further.

Three days later, a rematch between the Demon Kings army and the allied forces was held one the plains of Falsas.

And in this second battle, the Demon Kings army came out with a landslide victory.

They were simply overrun through an absurdly overwhelming difference in power.

However, hed already left the encampment and headed back after having a falling out with his staff officers.

Their army of 1,200,000 troops scrambled to run away.

But they were nothing but defeated soldiers for now.

The Demon Kings army let out their war cries.

However, there were still upwards of a million troops remaining for the allied forces, so it wasnt like they couldnt launch a counterattack.

Regretting that they dismissed Sion out of misguided rage, they returned to their countries.

Now, lets make a country!

Canals were built, soil was plowed, walls were made, and a city was erected.

This was the birth of a city that would come to be known as Falsas in times to come.
