Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 123.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝟑.1: 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐢𝐧 (11)

【Deploy the high-ranking demons to the front! 】

The Archduke of Gluttony, observing the demons and dimaen hindered by the enemy’s firepower, swiftly ordered the advance deployment of the demon army. While depleting the enemy’s firepower as much as possible seemed advantageous. . . he judged it more beneficial to deploy high-ranking demons to swiftly eliminate the enemies.

【Send the Shadowtooth beasts! 】

Shadowtooth, the beast of gluttony. With black scales and a body as large as an ogre, its long arms like a gorilla gave it a quadrupedal appearance. Its head possessed only a single, enormous mouth devoid of eyes, nose, or ears. Filled with sharp teeth within. . . it truly lived up to its name, Shadowtooth.

Shadowtooths of immense size and demons of high rank and above began charging from the front lines.

“Tiger tanks, annihilate the enemies with bombardment!”

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom!

Hundreds of Tiger tanks unleashed fire, sweeping away the charging demons and beasts. While the demons offered some resistance to the incoming shells, the beasts were struck head-on and collapsed.

“They’re Chaos demons!”

Upon receiving the commanders’ reports, Oswald promptly withdrew the Tiger tanks and deployed the Gigant riders to the front. The power suit troops also joined the Gigant riders, preparing to confront the demons. Deatheaters, Demon Hunters, and paladins positioned themselves behind them, anticipating the approaching fierce battle.

Subsequently, the Gigants surged forward, physically blocking the charging Shadowtooths.

Crash!!

Great swords swung, bisecting Shadowtooths and attempting to crush smaller demons. However, each demon of high rank and above resisted the Gigants’ strength without yielding. . . It was perplexing, but the power suit troops and the elite forces of the Order soon joined the fray, achieving a stalemate.

The same was true for the Great Zhou Empire. They deployed their warrior corps to the front lines, confronting the charging demons. Thanks to their advanced martial arts, they possessed numerous Sword Master-level experts and formations that allowed multiple individuals to overcome powerful enemies.

“Multiple aerial monsters detected in the airspace ahead!”

Swarming and flying towards them were numerous aerial monsters. . .

“Deploy the airship squadron and rearm the Kaiser fighters!”

The Kaiser fighters, equipped for bombing, all returned to the aircraft carriers in preparation for dogfights. There, they were equipped with ammunition and magic cannons for aerial combat before launching once again.

The first to engage in the aerial offensive were the carrier-based aircraft of the Great Zhou Empire’s Army Air Corps. However, lacking magical protection and essentially bare, the Great Zhou Empire’s biplanes were swept away like autumn leaves among the overwhelming number of aerial monsters.

Following this, the airship squadron and the Kaiser fighter squadron clashed with the aerial monsters.

The Imperial Empire Air Force, with shield magic, various offensive spells, and machine gun fire, weaved through the aerial monsters, unleashing their firepower.

Subsequently, the airship battleships also played their role effectively, thanks to the increased number of quad anti-air machine guns and the efforts of various machine gunners. Due to the sheer number of aerial monsters, the magic cannons originally intended for ground bombardment also proved quite effective.

While the Imperial Empire Air Force engaged in aerial combat, the Great Zhou Empire’s Army Air Corps was annihilated.

At that moment, a new unit emerged: the Saharan Empire’s Wyvern Squadron. Approximately 1,000 wyvern riders were heading towards the battlefield where the Imperial Empire Air Force was fighting fiercely.

As the three vanguard nations engaged in battle, their armies also entered combat readiness, prepared to charge at any moment. Although high-level forces were still fighting at the front. . . it was impossible to handle the incoming horde of monsters and dimaens with high-level forces alone, so they were prepared to advance quickly and join them.

A while later, the Kaiser fighters in the air began to return to their carriers urgently. This was due to Oswald’s prior order to return immediately and resupply with new shield artifacts if the shield operation rate fell below 30%.

He focused on maintaining firepower even if it meant a temporary gap in the front lines, as losing fighters by pushing them to their limits would result in greater losses.

And finally, the enemy forces encountered the high-ranking demons and clashed with the allied forces. With a sigh, Oswald issued an order to Colonel Gilgamesh, who was in command of the ground forces.

“Colonel Gil, advance.”

━Yes, Corps Commander.

Gilgamesh’s order was promptly given, and the Imperial Empire Expeditionary Force’s army began to advance. In front of them were troops equipped with exoskeletons that Oswald had personally brought.

” The infantry will try to cover the guys who are hard for ordinary soldiers to handle in the gaps between the squads as much as possible. ”

They had been instructed to carry ample grenades in preparation. . . but there were bound to be enemies that even grenades couldn’t handle.

As the Imperial Empire army was deployed, the Great Zhou Empire and the Saharan Empire also deployed their armies, forming a front line.

“The Archduke of Gluttony has moved.”

At that moment, Leto Zagreaus’ figure vanished, followed by Hippolyte Arenia and Agenor Varuna. They soared through the air and launched an attack from the rear of the battlefield.

In an instant, eight water spouts with a diameter of 20m shot up from the ground and concentrated on one spot.

Crash!

However, Agenor’s water jets were instantly absorbed by the colossal maw located on the Archduke of Gluttony’s body. . . effectively rendering the attack useless.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.’

The Archduke of Gluttony, Baalzebub, with a gigantic maw extending from his chest to his abdomen. The ability Oswald remembered of Baalzebub was that black hole-like maw that absorbed everything, including attacks directed at him. It was called the ‘Maw of Gluttony.’

‘𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘣-𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘮, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘺.’

To implement this in the game, characters painstakingly created would disappear or become unusable for several days if they were sucked into the Maw of Gluttony.

‘𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺. . . 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.’

The only saving grace was that the Dark Brotherhood did not participate in this battle. They remained here to keep the Archduke of Pride in check, just in case.

Still, the battle between champions was truly earth-shattering. If they had fought here, both friend and foe would have been swept away by the aftermath.

Ratatatatat! Ratatatatat!

Os rifles and Wald machine guns roared, firing upon the charging dimaen and monsters. These two weapons were sufficient to handle ordinary monsters and dimaen, but those exceeding 3 meters in size required the intervention of musketeer units, grenades, or magic bullets.

“The front line on the right flank is being pushed back! Send five musketeers to the right flank!”

The field commanders assessed the situation and immediately reinforced areas where troops were lacking.

Grrrrrrr!
