The Great Demon General Balac Sevec gave a speech to encourage the soldiers of the marquisate.

On Balac Sevec's belt lay the demon sword "Rubilac."

The day before, Mart had said to Balac:

"Use this treasure. Defeat the humans. War is not just about honor for a warrior's honor. The true goal of war is to defeat the enemy, and the means to do so must be used."

Balac Sevec accepted the treasure and the title of commander of the army.

The remnants of Galot Ertrael's army joined the marquisate's army, and one of his descendants was among them: Dajem Ertrael, a young demon from the perspective of demons, yet still a potential talent with his sixth rank (midpoint) at 43 years of age.

...

In the Republic of Argaris, the Republican Council declared itself against the decision of the Marquisate of Sevec when the human representatives inquired about the situation that was occurring and the obvious violation of the agreement that both parties had signed.

Despite being against the decisions of Marquis Sevec, the Republican Council did not take immediate action for fear of the "Believers of Alvat."

With the armies assembled, it was not until noon that the first order was heard:

"Advance!"

Balac Sevec led the demons of the marquisate, their goal being to destroy the humans' military camp and then reclaim their lost lands.

...

"In formation." Get ready!" shouted the sub-commanders under Sansen Grivent.

...

At the rear of the demon army, a second army of mercenary demons hired by Selenia's father at Mart's request was still waiting.

That second army was led by Teraz Sevec.

...

Spells flew back and forth, but both armies, with their great military formation and discipline, did not break their formations.

Balac Sevec wielded a bright red sword as he clashed with the spear wielded by Sansen Grivent, who wore black armor.

The combat between the two distanced itself from the rest of the demons and humans due to the chaos and destruction they caused.

...

Mart indicated that the objective was to push the enemy back, not to crush them immediately. He was trying to hunt down the powerful humans who showed up in order to lay the foundations for his demonic territory.

As the hours passed, there were casualties on both sides, several hundred in total. At that moment, the second demon army led by Teraz Sevec attacked.

They attacked with decisive force on one of the enemy's flanks.

The humans insulted the demons.

Mercenary Edward Liken cursed again and again as his men suffered the heaviest casualties after the second attack by the demon reinforcements.

...

The battle between the two armies stopped as night was falling.

The human army suffered the most casualties and injuries.

The combat between Balac and Sansen had remained at a stalemate.

...

That same night, a second human army led by Commander Alden Milariant, a powerful mage who had pushed back the Great Demon General Talion Crocell, was sent to the human military camp.

Alden, who at 45 had reached the seventh circle (starting point). With royal blood running through his veins and the lineage of a duke whose ancestor was a powerful hero, he was one of the empire's most outstanding prospects and had earned a stable position as a commander under the command of Commander-in-Chief Olbert.

Sansen Grivent accepted the reinforcements that had arrived on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Olbert Venzick.

...

That night, at the Sevec military camp.

Inside a spacious tent with all the comforts of home. Seated at a table were the Sevecs and their trusted commanders.

"Tomorrow will be a difficult battle," said Teraz Sevec.

"No, there will be no battles tomorrow. Let our soldiers rest. Just order a force at the vanguard to defend and keep watch. I don't think they will attack," said Mart Sevec.

That day, they also discussed casualties and targets to eliminate among the humans, and Mart also gave Balac an order to be carried out on the third day when the two armies clashed again. ...

The next day, around 1,000 demon soldiers protected and guarded the area around the military camp.

The human army was in formation.

Sansen Grivent and Alden Milariant waited for the demons to attack before giving the order to respond.

"He's watching us," said Aldent Milariant as a cold sweat ran down his body.

It was the second time Aldent had felt such oppressive power.

"Who?" asked Sansen, somewhat surprised by the powerful wizard's reaction.

"A demon," was all Alden could say about the enemy's identity, then he turned toward the military tent and said to Sansen before entering: "We must not let our guard down. I will send a message to the superior commander."

...

"Two powerful humans. If we manage to eliminate them, no one will attack my territory," thought Mart, who was wearing an elegant and imposing uniform in the colors of the marquisate (red, black, and gold)....

It was nighttime. Mart was alone in his military tent, sitting silently in a chair with his eyes closed, his demonic perception scanning the entire military camp.

He knew he couldn't let his guard down. War was a new domain for him from a practical point of view, but in both this life and his previous one, he had read extensively about history and wars, especially the wars of great empires and those of empires in decline.

...

At the demons' military camp, the soldiers were in high spirits, feeling that they had emerged victorious and that this was a way to avenge the defeat suffered by the Republic of Argaris at the hands of the Human Empire.

...

The next morning arrived.

Both armies were formed up.

The order to attack was given by Balac Sevec.

The battle began.

Life and death were an inevitable part of war.

Some military formations collapsed under the force of their adversaries, and there was no mercy on the battlefield. It was the same for demons as it was for humans.

Anger, fear, evil, excitement, pride, revenge, dreams—all of these were part of war and inspired the soldiers to fight.
