What changes does confidence bring?
The charging squad, composed of dozens of Goblins and Fang Wolf, became daring and willing to fight.
Tactics that would never be used in daily life;
Frontal charges that would not normally be initiated.
With Chen Hai's 'guarantee' as a prerequisite, the Goblin warriors and Fang Wolf all used them against their enemies.
They were indeed outnumbered by the hog race.
A huge difference.
At least ten times.
But because of 'Chen Hai's Naming' and 'Chen Hai's Protection', these guys became incredibly brave.
Swing the blade!
Cut through the hog race's armor!
Smash!
Shatter the hog race's shields!
Shadow escape, wolf howls, and intimidation—the Fang Wolf also exerted all their strength, suppressing many of the hog race.
Despite the huge disparity in numbers, the Goblin Fang Wolf riders, after seven or eight of their companions were moved by the strong wind, actually gained an advantage!
Chen Hai did not continue to focus on the flanks, turning his attention instead to the central battlefield.
At this moment, the Ogre race and Dragonewt Race warriors clashed with the main hog race forces.
Benimaru wielded his katana, its blade wreathed in demonic flames, with each swing accompanied by the release of pitch-black inferno.
He descended like a war god, holding a single pass against ten thousand men.
"Come! Let me see how much you beasts are worth!"
With one sweep of his sword, three Pig-Headed Soldiers were sent flying dozens of meters, crashing into the crowd and triggering a chain explosion.
Shion also charged into the crowd, and holding her greatsword, she said coldly,
"You things appearing before Lord Chen Hai will dirty his eyes."
Before her words finished, the greatsword she wielded swept like a storm, cutting down all surrounding enemies.
Boom—!!!
Terrifying impacts were continuously released, with slashes and strikes merging into one; the Pig-Headed Soldiers were no match for Shion, falling one after another.
"Lady Shion is so strong."
Souka murmured softly from the side.
Gabiru, the Dragonewt Race girl beside him, smiled.
"Your brother can do it too!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"..."
"Don't look so disbelieving!"
As Gabiru finished speaking, he was pushed aside from the flank.
That was Hakuro, among the Ogre.
He drew his blade and cut in half the spear flying towards him.
"Don't be careless."
"Oh, oh, sorry! Thank you, old man!"
Gabiru quickly thanked Hakuro when he saw that he had saved him.
Hakuro ignored him and charged directly forward, with Souei moving alongside him.
Seeing their backs, Souka and Gabiru exchanged glances, and the siblings immediately followed.
At the same time—
New enemies burst onto the battlefield!
These were tall, fully armored Pig-Headed General.
These behemoths swung the iron hammers in their hands, smashing them towards Benimaru and Shion on the front lines.
But the Pig-Headed General' attacks quickly 'got stuck mid-way'.
"I'll provide cover!"
Shuna was responsible for providing support, constructing a shield.
Then came a wolf howl.
Ranga burst out from the shadows.
Seeing this, Benimaru extended his left hand and grabbed Ranga.
The Ogre and the Fang Wolf charged directly towards the Pig-Headed General.
"Kill him!"
"!!!"
Ranga did not answer, merely channeling his power, and a black lightning bolt descended from the sky.
The struck Pig Head General let out a cry of pain, and Benimaru also leaped from the wolf's back.
From above, 'Ogre Flame Slash' cut the target down the middle!
Pig-Headed General, new generals, once again filled the gap.
This was the advantage of the hog race.
There were many soldiers, and so too were there many generals!
Watching the new powerful enemy appear, Benimaru was caught by Ranga and temporarily retreated.
The two arrived at the rear, where Hakuro, Souei, and Gabiru, in cooperation with Souka, had just eliminated enemies attempting a flank attack.
Among them, Shuna, protected in the center, looked around.
"The enemies are increasing!"
"Just focus on the Pig-Headed General; without commanders, they will surely scatter."
Hearing his sister's reminder, Benimaru made a temporary decision.
Moreover, because the flanks were harassed by Fang Wolf riders, the Pig-Headed Soldiers surrounding them had not fully gathered yet.
They still had time!
Thinking this, Benimaru tightly gripped the hilt of his sword.
"For Lord Chen Hai, for our future, we must continue to fight!"
Having said that, aside from Shuna providing support from the rear, Shion, Benimaru, Souka, and others simultaneously charged in various directions!
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came from the right side of the central battlefield!
After Izawa Shizue commanded her troops to support the Fang Wolf riders, she alone stood before three Pig-Headed General.
Her right hand held no true weapon, but rather a burning, sword-shaped 'flame'.
This was the first skill she used after Chen Hai transformed Ifrit, the Flame Spirit, into her power.
The flames distorted space, and heatwaves continuously spread, causing soldiers other than the Pig-Headed General to retreat in fear.
"You... should not have started this fight."
She said softly.
The next instant, she moved.
"I know you destroyed the Ogre race's village..."
Izawa Shizue spoke words that the hog race paid no mind to, swinging the 'Sword of Scorching Heat' in her hand.
The terrifying high-temperature cut severed the arm of a general in front of her, and the wound simultaneously turned charred black.
The bleeding stopped, but the pain, on the contrary, increased!
Izawa Shizue, having completed her attack, showed no hesitation, aiming for the second Pig Head General.
Her speed was extremely fast, her movements agile, easily evading the attacks that had locked onto her along the way.
And so—
The Pig-Headed Soldiers saw it.
They saw the 'Burning Valkyrie' wreak havoc on the battlefield.
The Pig-Headed General couldn't even withstand a few moves in front of her.
"What?! A single person... and five Generals are no match?!"
The Pig-Headed Soldiers, witnessing everything, were terrified.
Izawa Shizue looked at her opponent and said coldly, "This is just the beginning."
Unless... "If you leave, there's still room for maneuver."
Izawa Shizue herself didn't like fighting.
But she wouldn't shy away from it.
The threat of the hog race was undeniable.
Therefore, she also agreed with Chen Hai's plan: they must stop the hog race's 'Destruction Expedition'.
Just as Izawa Shizue was about to rush to the next battlefield, a shadow fell from the sky.
His body was enormous, his muscles hard as steel; each muscle seemed forged by countless battles, emitting a cold light.
His skin was a deep gray, like the color of rock, giving him an indestructible feeling.
The massive pig head on top of his head stood tall, with two sharp tusks protruding from his mouth.
Compared to Izawa Shizue, the Hog King... the Orc Demon Lord, like a giant, looked down at the human woman before him.
He spoke in a deep voice, "You are strong, a threat."
The moment the Orc Demon Lord finished speaking, Izawa Shizue swung her blade.
The Orc Demon Lord did not dodge, using his right hand as a shield to block the scorching flames.
The moment its skin melted and muscles were scorched, it rapidly began to regenerate!
"Super-fast regeneration?"
"I just wanted to experience your flames; I didn't expect them to be nothing special."
Hearing this, Izawa Shizue swung her sword again.
But this time, the flames caused no damage to the Orc Demon Lord.
Flame resistance!?
Then the first time... he intentionally took the damage?
As Izawa Shizue thought of this, a roar came from ahead.
"We must achieve victory! So... disappear!!!"
The Orc Demon Lord slammed his hands into the ground.
Along with the tremor came a terrifying burst of magicules.
Space was torn apart, and the impact destroyed heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Izawa Shizue was about to block but was caught by the wind current and swept away.
"It's my turn next."
Chen Hai said to Izawa Shizue from afar.
The plan to obtain the 'Demon Lord' tag begins here!
