Chapter 69 – Chapter 68 – Raid
Three days had passed since the second expedition joined.
The expedition intended to remain secluded at the outpost until the newly joined personnel were somewhat accustomed to the environment of the Pandemonium.
Also, the result of the meeting of the expedition leader, staff, and executives to discuss future plans.
According to Yurin’s opinion, the territory of the Pandemonium that could be occupied was decided first.
Yurin said that he should target the estate of the succubus lord who captured him.
The reason is that because he knows the rich resources of the land, the environment within the territory he knows, and the internal structure, it is better than occupying other territories.
And he even explained the advantage of being able to recruit and receive supplies by connecting to Earth through the gate he passed through.
She herself used the gate of that territory to return to Earth, but when she talked about whether there would be a gate in another territory, Maria, the head of the expedition, actively defended Yurin’s opinion.
Connecting to Earth through the gate was related to their life and death.
The fact that there was a gate that could be connected to the earth was enough reason to occupy the territory because it was a proper supply and an escape route when attacked by unknown enemies.
As a bonus, since there was Yurin who knew the geography of the territory, he would have been easier to occupy than other territories.
The meeting ended with more discussions and opinions exchanged, and it was decided to leave after spending another week in the forest as an outpost to adapt to the 2D expedition.
.

.
When the lord of the black minotaur was informed of the situation by the scout, he took his weapon and armor.
Then he gathered almost all the forces within his own estates, except for those to keep the minimum security.
It was an unavoidable measure to match the number of enemies.
He had to lead his own army and try to negotiate after encountering an armed group of supposed mercenaries.
The Minotaur lord knew that the number of his troops had to be the same so that the enemies would be somewhat nervous.
If armies of equal numbers collided with each other, the damage would not be small for both sides.
Most likely, if they tried to negotiate, they would most likely accept it.
The lord thought for a moment about his plans for the future, and then led his troops to the forest where they were hiding.
.
.
.
A different environment from Earth, this place was different from everything on Earth, from grass to trees.
It’s been 3 days since I came to the demon realm.
These were the things Mina felt during that time.
It made me realize that it was not a different country, but a different world.
My stomach hurts when I think of Yurin and Suna who must have been brought to such a place and suffered.
Suna must still be experiencing all sorts of humiliation in this world.
My head was complicated by that thought, so I went out for a walk.
The forest was filled with cold air at night when dark waves filled the sky.
As Mina felt the cold air, she recalled what had happened today.
I remembered when Yurin expressed her opinion of her at the meeting today that the territory should be occupied for her sake her and Suna, and when the expedition listened to her opinion leader her and readily agreed.
I wanted to go to the place where Seon-ah would be as soon as possible.
That word from Maria who accepted Yurin’s opinion of her.
From then on, her hopes her began to spring up in her own heart.
Although he had a guilty conscience that many of these soldiers might be sacrificed because of his own greed.
He couldn’t give up his last hope his.
Even if everyone else is sacrificed.
.
.
.
As Minah was immersed in contemplation while breathing the night air, an army of Minotaurs rushed into the forest.
Seeing the numerous troops, the sentries of the expedition repeatedly shouted an emergency and alerted the expedition.
Expedition leader Maria summoned the troops of her team and began to learn about their enemies her.
Human-like form.
There are monsters with uniform armament.
It’s dark, so it’s hard to see, but the physique is presumed to be an orc.
The number of enemies was difficult to grasp due to the overgrown bushes, but they seemed to pose a threat to them.
Maria immediately deployed her battle teams forward and pulled back to keep her supply men or staff out of the way.
She and she began to monitor the situation.
The enemies didn’t want to attack hastily, so first of all, we had to check what they wanted to attack us armed.
And a black Minotaur with a fairly large build came out in front, holding a large double-edged ax in one hand.
A little over ten ogre soldiers, who seemed to be escorting them, surrounded the minotaur as if to protect it.
The ogres were different from the orcs in their armament, as evidenced by their fact that they were elite soldiers.
His whole body was covered with armaments made of rare ores that were said to come out from time to time beyond the gate.
Maria had heard of that black Minotaur.
The identity of that thing, which had once come out of Yurin’s mouth, was probably the lord who ruled this area.
The proof was that the black Minotaur was surrounded by elite soldiers as if it were an important figure.
The monster presumed to be the lord of this land spoke first.
“How did humans come over to the Demon Realm?”
That high-ranking monster looked at them and said as if they were surprised.
Come to think of it, they would be the first humans to invade the Demon Realm.
It was only natural that the monster couldn’t help but be surprised.
“There is no reason for us to answer.”
But I didn’t have to tell you that.
Fighting with them is inevitable.
Since they were monsters who regarded humans as an inferior species, it was Maria who judged that they couldn’t just let them go when they saw them here.
“I originally intended to negotiate, but if I end this emergency with negotiations, the council will question me…”
The black Minotaur lord also spoke as if he couldn’t help it.
It seemed that the fight could not be avoided.
“These foolish humans who invaded the Pandemonium are our opponents! Advance all! Capture those who are presumed to be staff members or non-combatants! I will interrogate them myself!”
With that loud cry, the enemies shouted loudly and took out their weapons and started charging towards the expedition.
In the middle of the night, even the moonlight did not come in, and the forest, where one could not see an inch ahead, was transformed into a battlefield in an instant.
.
.
.
The situation on the battlefield seemed unfavorable, yet favorable.
Every time the black minotaur clashed with a small combat team in squad units belonging to the expeditionary force, like the elite troops, the squad was shattered by the ax in just a few seconds.
However, except for the lord and the ogre elite soldiers, most of the troops were Orc soldiers.
Every time the A-class fighters faced Orc soldiers, the Orcs became corpses in an instant.
The monster lord was ahead of the elite troops, but looking at the overall quality of the troops, the hunters of the expedition were more than two numbers ahead.
The demon lord expected that his forces would be consumed too much at this rate.
For now, the soldiers are holding them back, but if they are consumed too much, there is a possibility that they will be surrounded.
When he finished thinking about it, the lord began to enter the middle of the enemy camp, thinking that he had to catch the enemy’s captain.
In order not to be bitten by the back, the Orc troops entered after him.
Maria, an S-class hunter, was also on her way there to catch the lord, their leader her.
At this rate, it was clear that the battle team would continue to be destroyed by the hands of that lord, so he thought of taking care of the lord himself.
The two were in different situations, but they were thinking the same thing.
Thinking of catching her boss and putting an end to the situation quickly, Maria raised her blunt weapon in her hand and lunged at her her lord her, swinging it under her her.
A great vibration reverberated through the ground as if an earthquake had occurred.
With that single swing, six elite ogre soldiers who were serving as shields in front of the lord fell to the ground as blood clots with Maria’s blunt weapon her.
The four remaining ogre elite soldiers who guarded the side and back of the lord moved to the front.
It was clear that he was trying to act as a meat shield to protect the lord.
However, the lord took the four of them and went to help the orcs.
It was not an act of resignation, but an act of confidence.
The Minotaur lord was also a veteran who worked as a knight belonging to the royal family by receiving recognition from the royal family and parliament.
Counting the number of heads slashed by his own ax was pointless, and the number of cities he destroyed beyond the gates could not be counted on the fingers his.
He was a veteran among veterans with dozens of experiences in subjugating the army of rebels who were considered enemies of the royal family.
Unlike other Minotaurs, his strength was several times stronger and his skills were trained through countless battles were the basis for sustaining the lord’s battles.
The moment he saw the human strength that appeared to be a captain in front of him, he was surprised that he had stronger power than himself.
The movement seemed itself simple.
He had faced opponents stronger than himself many times.
Even the giants were among the rebels.
If he hadn’t been able to handle it, he wouldn’t have been able to stand on this spot.
Once more, as her Maria raised her blunt weapon and tried to strike it down on her, the lord raised her double-edged ax at an angle and leaned his upper body her slightly to her side her.
Then Maria deflected her blunt weapon her with her swing her to the side of her.
Her hand her holding her ax her trembled, but her blunt weapon her slid beside her, opening a gap in her Maria’s body her.
When Maria saw this Minotaur shed her own powers of her, she was amazed.
It was because it was very strange that the monster used such advanced technology.
The lord, who did not miss the chance, turned her body greatly and aimed at Mary’s neck her with her double-edged ax her.
Maria hastily lifted her blunt weapon to try to block it, but her own attack her slipped and she already lost her balance.
Eventually Maria chose to dodge rather than block her, rolling her sideways as she lost her balance.
The lord did not miss the moment when the enemy fell close to the ground.
As if seizing the opportunity, she swung her ax from side to side and without giving the enemy a chance to get up properly, she continued to attack.
The basics of combat are breaking the enemy’s posture and seizing opportunities.
No matter how strong the force was, it was useless if there was no opportunity to attack.
The difference in strength was overcome with skill.
Maria sensed that this Minotaur lord’s fighting method was unusual.
The attack that seemed like it would be fatal the moment it hit even a little bit continued.
As if she wouldn’t allow a counterattack, she was dying because she kept repeating the attacks that she had no choice but to dodge.
The two people’s workshop continued for a long time, but in the end, Maria lost her patience and chose her companion her.
As Maria gradually became short of breath, her body was not recovering properly even though her body’s muscles she screamed due to the air of her demon realm.
It was clear that if she continued to do so, her muscles would fail and she would lose her stamina and get hit by that ax.
If she was going to die anyway, she couldn’t just die like this, so she launched an unexpected attack so that the enemy couldn’t avoid it.
Maria swung her blunt weapon at her lord’s lower half her, even though her ax her was swinging at her own throat her.
Embarrassed by the unexpected attack, the lord lifted his leg to block the blunt weapon.
In the end, Maria loses her head, her lord has his legs cut into pieces, and her two captains end the fight.
Yeongju saw that his legs, which had been aching from the aftereffects, had now completely disappeared.
She now realized that she would never be able to fight again.
Although he won, the lord was seriously injured.
Originally, she was planning to deal with these humans after defeating the person of the captain, but unexpectedly, she was injured too badly.
She was well aware of how low the quality of her own medical history was of her.
It was judged that it would be difficult to deal with them with Orc soldiers.
Having fought against the invaders like this, the lord told his troops to retreat, thinking that he could avoid the prosecution of the council.
.
.
.
Mina was a hunter who belonged to the top of the A-rank hunters.
She was able to control her own body through her sensory enhancement, a body-type ability, allowing her to do most of her bodily movements as she pleased.
In addition, she was able to freely control the power of her five senses, and in some cases, she was able to use even a non-existent sense called the sixth sense to some extent.
However, she was useless in front of the four elite Ogre soldiers in front of her.
It wasn’t enough that she had equipped an Ogre, an A-class monster equal to her own strength her, with such tremendous equipment, and she was barely able to avoid it as she was attacking four of them.
As she became more and more out of breath, the air of her demon world pressed more heavily on her own body.
It didn’t matter to monsters, but the longer they fought, the more they were at a disadvantage as humans.
This demonic air gradually took away more and more of his stamina her, so if he kept going like this, all his stamina his would drop, and he felt like his body his would be cut in half by the ogre’s weapon.
If she dies before she finds her son her.
It was the same logic that her son would suffer forever.
That’s why Mina continued to wait for her chance to counterattack, block, dodge, and shed her enemies’ attacks and persevere.
She couldn’t give up because the thought that she only had to save Seon-a filled her head.
However, with the ever-decreasing stamina, the lungs not trying to take in air anymore, and the screaming muscles, limits began to come.
In Min-ah’s heart, her longing for her Sun-ah grew more and more.
If it wasn’t for this demon world air, it was at least a fight worthy of seeing, but her environment was holding her back.
And the moment her death crisis came right in front of her nose her.
Suddenly, Mina’s body her started to feel comfortable.
She didn’t think she would die like this.
She suddenly felt a surge of vitality in her body.
I felt as if I had become accustomed to the atmosphere of this demon realm.
One of the rare cases even if you look around the world among talented people.
Minah was her reawakening her.
