The Author's POV

[Demon Domain, Ramlot City]

As the elves and the demon army fought each other, the air was thick with the stench of brimstone, and the sound of steel clashing filled the atmosphere.

Clank―! Clank―!

The smoke from the burning buildings obscured the view of the night sky above Ramlot City, and the cries of the injured could be heard echoing through the city streets.

The elves had been driven to the outskirts of the city, and their numbers were continuing to decrease with each hour that passed.

But they held on.

The demons were on their last remaining leg and were merely holding on at the moment. The war had been raging on for a while now, and the elves had dominated throughout.

They were able to break through the barrier that was protecting the city using the power of their spells and the sharpness of their arrows, which allowed them to kill the demons that were hiding behind the barrier.

Xiu! Xiu!

It was a situation that the demons hadn't anticipated, and as a result, they were forced to come out and face the elven forces head on.

"Attack!"

"Don't let those bastard―Akh!!"

Unfortunately for them, it turned out to be a cunningly planned ambush by the elves, who hid themselves behind the dead trees and meticulously dismantled their army.

"Go!"

"Don't care about them! Charge forward!"

The circumstances had deteriorated to such a point that the demons had no choice but to launch an all-out assault and square off against the elven forces outside of the protection of their own city walls.

"Keep shooting. Maintain your distance from them."

Xiu! Xiu!

That was exactly what the elves had been hoping for the entire time, so they dispatched a small group of their elite forces into the city while they defended the outside of the city from a distance.

While it was true that they suffered a lot of casualties due to the large number of demons that emerged from the city, it wasn't something that they couldn't handle.

They kept luring the demons away from the city, thereby killing them one by one and dwindling their numbers.

"Regroup!"

"Get into formation."

Once they were a fair distance away from the demon city, all semblance of order fell apart in the demon army, and chaos ensued.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The elves took advantage of the situation and attacked with even more ferocity than they had done before, and the demon army started to dwindle at a faster rate.
