Fourth Prince's Debauchery-Chapter 720 - From Another World
Chapter 720 - From Another World
"So it was just as we expected, huh," I murmured in the base of the empire army.
"Yes," Alice nodded. "The hidden army was in the Elven Forest. Well, that was virtually the only place in the world where she could hide them without we noticing it."
"How many of them?" I asked.
"At least fifty thousand elves and there are eight Irregulars."
"Eight?" I frowned slightly. "It will be a bit complicated then."
I was not afraid of the fifty-thousand army. The Daemon Empire army is even bigger. The problem is the eight Irregulars.
"Leave it to me, boy. I will take care of them." Headmistress Evelyn spoke up at that moment.
Should I leave it to her…?
No, Headmistress Evelyn is strong, but she can't face eight Irregulars by herself. The problem is, most of the girls are trapped in the barrier around the beastkin camp and can't leave it easily.
That was a smart move from Emilia.
Fortunately, I took precautions and kept Headmistress Evelyn behind. It would have been very bad if she is trapped inside the barrier too.
But even so, Evelyn alone is not enough.
Should I send Raven too?
But Raven is my final trump card. It's a waste to use her right now.
Just then, the white-haired Seer stood up.
"I'll go with her."
"Alice?"
"I'm not good at direct combat, but my control over fate should be enough to help the headmistress to face the eight Irregulars without falling into a disadvantage. That is the best solution right now.
I thought for a moment and nodded.
"Good luck."
Headmistress Evelyn and Alice nodded back. Next, Headmistress Evelyn teleported the two of them to the Daemon Empire.
E'Athar, together with her father and brother, was waiting in the Daemon Empire with the army ready. As soon as Evelyn and Alice appeared, she nodded determinately.
"We are ready."
"Good. Let's go then."
Headmistress Evelyn then cast a mass-teleport spell and brought the entire Daemon Army to the east of the Arcadian Empire.
The sudden appearance of the daemon army surprised the elves advancing towards the capital. Without giving them time to react, E'Athar extended her hand forward.
"Attack!"
"""For the glory of the daemons!!!"""
"""OHHH!!!"""
The daemons roared bravely and rushed forward. They clashed against the elven army and mowed them down like grass.
But the elves reacted quickly. In seconds, they created a defensive formation and fought back.
At the same time, several powerful auras rose from their army. Eight of these auras were especially strong, surpassing the limit of mortals.
But the elves were not the only ones with powerhouses above the limit of mortals.
"We are your enemies." Headmistress Evelyn and Alice appeared confidently in front of them. Next, Headmistress Evelyn cast a spatial barrier around the Irregulars and themselves, isolating all the irregulars from the battlefield below.
That way, she forced the eight Irregulars to defeat her and Alice first if they wanted to help the elven army.
"Overconfident!" The elven powerhouses snorted in disdain and attacked them.
Just like that, the battle against the elves started.
The battle was very intense, but neither the elves nor the daemons managed to gain an advantage. In terms of combat ability, both armies were pretty even.
At the same time, Evelyn and Alice did not seem at a disadvantage facing eight Irregulars.
Seeing that, I sighed in relief.
"… It looks like your plan failed, Emilia." I smiled at my daughter, who had appeared in front of me at some point in time.
"Do you really think so, dad?" Emilia covered her mouth and giggled mischievously. "I knew that that bitch Ysnay would give you a heads-up about my plan?"
At that moment, a bad feeling assaulted me.
"Do you know, dad? The problem with Seers is that it's very hard to hide something from them."
Emilia's voice was calm, as though she already expected this result. As though everything was part of her plan.
"Their ability to see through fate makes it very hard to plot against them. It's really unfair. And Ysnay is probably the best Seer out there. From the start, I knew that I could not hide my plan from her completely."
I felt a chill on my spine. Emilia's expression was like a child that succeeded in a prank. She was completely confident in her victory.
"But, Seers have a very unexpected weakness–"
Her lips curved up slightly.
"–They trust their abilities too much."
And she formed a bloodthirsty smile.
"I knew that I could not hide my plan from Ysnay completely, so I just made sure to hide the most important part."
[Oh no! My prince, something is–!] Alice shouted in my mind, but I did not pay attention to her. My entire focus was on the fox girl in front of me.
"Ysnay discovered that I had hidden an army, but she did not discover where I hid it. Nevertheless, there was only a place in this world where I could hide it. The elven forest. I'm sure she and you came to that conclusion."
[Another army appeared, Prince! They appeared at the west of the empire!]
"But, what if I did not hide the army in this world?"
[Impossible! That army–!]
"Do you like my surprise, dad?"
[That army comes from another world!]
"Now, what do you plan to do?" Emilia smiled impishly.
"I think it's checkmate."
