en as I spoke to my allies, the image of our enemies entered my mindespecially the one whom I just bested in a game of wits.
It would be nice for me to see your facial reaction right now Zenkiel.
*********************
DAMMMNIIIT!!! The Demon Lord growled as he cursed.
As Commander-In-Chief, he was meant to show composure at all times, but the seething emotions within him couldnt allow him to contain his dissatisfaction.
I observed all the battles, and what the hell is this??! Zenkiel was fraught with inexplicable feelings.
Anger.
Frustration.
Confusion.
Worry.
And most especially FEAR!
Shit.
I just expended four thousand Demon Beasts and what did I gain?
The truth was that Zenkiel wasnt exactly interested in the survival of the troops he sent.
By observing them with Magic, he would be able to obtain whatever information he desired from their advancement.
His goal was simplemeasuring the capabilities of the other Races.
But, after seeing the way they had all perished, Zenkiel had a single thought.
Theyre too strong!
For the Eastern Kingdom, merely a few individuals could handle his Demon Generals and Demon Beasts.
He had to work with the assumption that they werent the only ones capable of such feats.
The Elf Kingdom incidents were even worse.
Just what was that Golem? Zenkiel murmured, worried by how much firepower it packed.
He was a Demon Lord, so that level of destruction wouldnt kill him.
Still, he wasnt sure about coming out unscathed.
Those who were controlling the Golem didnt even seem to take the probes as threats.
Even after the Demon Beasts and his General were killed, the Golem kept practicing various things.
It was as though his army had only served as fodder for them.
Things werent better at their Northern Border too.
Sure, he expected more resistance since it was the most fortified stronghold of the Elves.
However, Zenkiel never expected the resistance to be so great.
With only a few individuals spamming Spells of Mass Destruction, the entire area was flattened in no time.
It was inconceivable, but reality made the Demon Lord realize just how formidable his enemies were.
The worst part of everything was that his army was only able to advance a small distance from their starting point.
They were destroyed before going any further.
Damnit! At this point, he could call his probe venture a failure.
He couldnt estimate the strength of the enemieswhich was the whole point of the four-pronged assault.
Not only did he not catch them off-guard, but not even a single casualty came from the enemy side.
What do I tell His Majesty, the Demon King?
The loss of some fodder was inconsequential, but Zenkiel had used up 4,000 of them.
Even if there were plenty more Demon Beasts in stockeven more powerful than the ones he utilized, it was still a fact that he had just wasted a good number of pawns.
And yet, I failed miserably
Zenkiel did learn a thing or two from the whole incident, though.
The Humans have allied with the Elves, after all.
Unfortunately, that wasnt all.
