“How’s the situation right now?” Tilly asked.

“The enemies who tried to stop the truck convoy were almost completely wiped out, and the remaining demons in the sky are fleeing. I believe it is our win,” Sylvie replied.

“It’s a pity I didn’t get a chance to participate in the end,” Andrea said with a regretful shrug. “It looks like the grand demon lord from last time suffered some serious injuries.”

‘Seagull’ had not taken part in this battle, but had been hovering in the clouds the entire time to guard against the possible appearance of Hackzord or other Senior Demons. After all, the most effective way to deal with demons like these who possess abnormal abilities was still Andrea’s close-range sniping.

Unlike her dispirited companion, Sylvie was relieved.

She knew that the counterattack this time was not the same as the previous ambush on the Sky Lord. Hackzord had not noticed ‘Seagull”s presence because she was not on board at the time. The situation on the battlefield was communicated via the Sigil of Listening, and even though she had been noticed by the vigilant Eye Demons the entire time, ‘Seagull’ was invisible and untraceable.

This time, however, because the battle needed to take place far away from their encampment, she had to move with ‘Seagull’ in order to be able to command the entire situation. It was for this reason that if the Sky Lord appeared with a new alert Eye Demon, ‘Seagull’ would also be spotted along with her. In other words, it was only when Hackzord or other Senior Demons made an appearance alone could Andrea’s attacks actually take them by surprise.

Otherwise, if the shot didn’t hit in one go, it would be difficult to predict how the battle situation would develop.

So their absence was actually a good thing.

After all, there was nothing more worth being happy over than successfully completing a job with everyone making it back safe and sound.

“It’s better that you don’t do anything. If Hackzord really does come, I don’t think the truck convoy would have been able to retreat in one piece.” Tilly shook her head resignedly. “I’m guessing that when Edith came up with this plan, she was also betting that the mobile, vigilant Eye Demons weren’t something that could be replenished immediately after being used up, so the Sky Lord didn’t want to take the risk of venturing out.”

The princess’s words basically expressed everything that Sylvie thought.

She could not help but nod her head over and over again. That was the princess for you!

“Oh yeah…” Tilly piloted her glider through and out of the clouds. “Now that victory is confirmed, let’s ascertain the battle outcome before we leave.”

Sylvie could be said to be experienced in this sort of thing, too—without the hindrance of obstacles, she could complete a cursory survey of the battlefield with only a little magic.

The moment she reached her conclusion, however, she froze.

“Two thousand… No, close to three thousand…”

“Three thousand?” Wendy gasped in shock. “How could there be so many?”

“Those Mad Demons—” Sylvie took a deep breath as she gazed in the direction of the distant mountain slope. “They weren’t charging for the convoy before, but scattering in all directions!”
