The Villains Need to Save the World? Chapter 208

Book 4: Chapter 186: The War Of The Seven Kings On The Harvey Plains

The Harvey Plains was the largest plain in the Beastmen continent. It covered a large area that looked like a vast expanse of green grass. The biggest battle in the plains in the history of the Priestly Continent was about to begin.

 

According to the information Bella got when she was acting Demon King, the Dark Humans had more than one million troops to support the Beastmen. Accounting the skeleton soldiers they had arranged, the reinforcements would amount to about two million. Including the dead Beastmen soldiers that would probably be reawakened by the enemy’s necromancers for a second battle, their exact numbers were uncertain.

 

It was a head-on battle. There was no need for intrigues or anything of the kind. Bella had even arranged for the three million demon troops who were in charge of logistics in the rear to join the battle. The demon soldiers had very few requirements, so Bella’s army carried only a small amount of supplies on this expedition.

 

The armies from both sides met by chance on the Harvey Plains. Until now, the Chief Commander of the Beastmen allied forces hadn’t decided yet. The three Beastmen Kings – Wolf King Springhall, Tiger King Titus, and Leopard King Crofts, simply commanded their own armies.

 

The Wolfman cavalry was located in front of the Beastmen Army and was followed by the Wereleopard light infantry. Behind the Wereleopard infantry was the base camp of the Beastmen coalition. The Weretiger and Werelion soldiers were on standby there.

The Dark Human allied forces were deployed on the right-wing of the Beastmen allied forces. The commanders of the Dark Human allied forces were Princess Erica and Princess Elsa of the Venifreza Empire. The number of allied troops was estimated to be over three million, so the intelligence that Bella had obtained was correct.

 

In front of the Dark Human forces were almost ten thousand skeleton soldiers who had formed a phalanx with spears. The edges of the phalanx were the white boned skeleton soldiers with spears; behind them were soldiers with shields, and at the center were skeleton archers. These phalanxes that imitated the ancient Roman infantry’s phalanx should have good combat effectiveness.

 

Each phalanx was separated by a distance, which was made a convenient passage for the skeleton cavalry behind the infantry regiment. Behind the phalanx of the skeleton infantry were skeleton cavalry units on White Bone Steeds and giant Ogre warriors.

Erica and Elsa were located further in the back of the base camp of the Dark Humans. The army in the base camp belonged to the Venifreza Empire and consisted of Black Knights and Black-Robed Wizards.

 

The skeletons and scavenger ghouls in the front were cannon fodders summoned by these Black-Robed Wizards. Here in the Dark Human base camp, there were many Dark Guards who had been called to act as shields. These Dark Guards and the Demon Guards on Bella’s side were both demonic, but the Dark Guards weren’t as effective as the Demon Guards.

 

Above the Dark Human allied forces, a large group of Black Dragon Knights was hovering on standby. It was the second time Bella had seen the Dragon Knights of the Dark Humans. Different from the Zombie Dragon Knight she saw last time, the Black Dragon Knight’s mount was a real dragon, while the Zombie Dragon Knight’s mount was just a zombie dragon with very low combat effectiveness.

 

The Black Dragon Knight’s mount, the black dragon, was quite different from the black dragons on the Human continent and was much smaller. It looked like it was explicitly trained in speed for sneak attacks. Its size was about three times the size of the human Griffin Knight’s mount. When compared with regular human Dragon Knights, it was a little too small.

 

Elsa and Erica changed into the Soul Eater and Blood Mage’s garments, respectively. They were long-range mages, so it wasn’t a problem standing in this position. The Dark Human Army wasn’t mixed with the Beastmen Army. They regarded these Beastmen troops as cannon fodder and not friendly forces.

“Older sister, it was such a pity those demon kings from last night had no way of helping us solve our difficulties! Otherwise, we…”

 

“Sister, forget about that. The Honorable Demon Kings are free to do as they please, we can’t insist on anything. Look, the demons from the other side are coming. Look lively.”

 

“Older sister … the demons from the other side are so…”

 

Erica and Elsa looked at the horde of demons coming from the other side of the plains; their faces turned ugly instantly. There were so many demons on the other side that it was like a massive piece of black chunk spreading gradually from the other side of the horizon, dyeing the whole world black.

 

Bella’s army was divided into three parts and arranged in a triangular layout with three square formations. The original six-part army would combine into three parts to carry out group combat. Bella and Lisha’s “Darkness Knight” legion, Kriss’s “Phantom’s Sword,” and Ariel’s “Nights of Magic” formed a coalition.

 

Bella’s legions were leading because most of the combatants of the Dark Knight regiment were Death Knights, and they were best to charge first into the war. Kriss and Ariel’s troops served as infantry support units on the left and right behind Bella’s troops.

 

Next to Bella was Eleanor’s “Blood Rose,” Noreya’s “Death Thorn,” and Elaine’s “Thousand Broken Silk.” Just like Bella’s layout, they were led by the Blood Demon King Eleanor’s Blood Knight regiment while Noreya and Elaine’s legions formed square formations on the left and right flanks behind the Blood Knight regiment.

 

The two battalions, led by cavalry with infantry on the left and right acting as shields, appeared triangular. According to this arrangement, Bella led the three million allied troops on this side to attack the five million allied forces of the Beastmen. Blood Demon King Eleanor led another three million allied troops on the other side and was responsible for attacking the Dark Human allied forces of similar numbers.

 

At the back of the Demon King allied troops was a third triangular formation made out of smaller square formations. It was the three million-odd logistics army led by Sky Demon King Dolores and the newly promoted Underworld Demon King Cornice. They were mainly responsible for battle support and were supposed to act as reinforcements to the battalions that could no longer hold up.

 

From the looks of it, the Demon King coalition had at least nine million troops. Taking into account the private reinforcement army recruited by Kriss and these Dark Warriors, the total number of troops was close to ten million. On the side of the Beastmen coalition, the Beastmen participating in the war amounted to around five million soldiers, and the Dark Humans had about three million – a total of about eight million troops, which was two million less than Bella’s side.

 

Leopard King Crofts didn’t bring the other two million troops for selfish reasons, which led to their disadvantage in numbers. Before the war had even started, the final result of victory already begun to tilt in favor of Bella.

As a Demon King, Bella felt for the demons and was unwilling to kill the skeleton soldiers for the time being, so she chose to attack the Beastmen allied forces. Blood Demon King Eleanor had been human before and didn’t feel as much for demons. She could afford to be ruthless. Therefore, Bella entrusted her with the responsibility of attacking the Dark Human allied forces.

 

In all honesty, Bella wanted to be the one to attack the Dark Human allied forces because there were a large number of Black-Robed Witches whom she could capture as prisoners. There were also the two Dark Princesses, Erica and Elsa, who were much more fun than the Beastmen allied forces. They were filled with Beastmen and had no girls. It was so uninteresting.

 

“My honorable older sister, why do you look so disappointed? You are a Demon King, but you don’t even feel anything during the war. I think you need another class.”

“Alisha… why are you out again? Why is Lisha resting at this time?”

Bella looked at Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha, who was beside her and was a little down. Compared to Lisha, Demonic Dragon Alisha also called herself Bella’s younger sister, but Alisha’s character was much more domineering than Lisha’s. It wasn’t easy for Bella to fool her.

“Hmph, didn’t you ask me to play the Chief Commander?! With Lisha’s temperament, that would be strange. Besides, Kriss and the others are also in their semi-dark transformation states now. If I don’t come out, wouldn’t that make them look down on me?”

Bella couldn’t say anything to refute her. Lisha’s temperament was unsuited to play the Demon King’s Chief Commander. Alisha was now dressed in dark gold heavy armor and had a pair of dark gold metal dragon wings on the back of her armor.

 

Alisha carried an enormous sword on her back, and her hands had turned into dark-golden dragon’s claws. She did have the aura of a demon commander. The horse she rode on had been replaced by a dark horned beast that resembled a rhinoceros. The horned beast’s body was covered with black heavy mount armor, and a long sword-like horn grew on its head.

 

When compared with Alisha, what Bella was wearing seemed quite normal. Wearing an ordinary Death Knight’s armor and riding a Demonic Dream Horse made Bella look like an average Death Knight. Bella planned to fight among the horde of demon soldiers. Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha would be the commanding general.

 

If her appearance were too high-profile, Bella would be afraid of taking fire. Most importantly, Bella planned to gain from the chaos. According to White Wolf Princess Tania and Silver Fox Princess Vanessa, there were still two kemonomimi princesses in the Beastmen allied forces. Dressing too conspicuously would make it difficult for her to get close to the princesses.

 

“Older sister Bella, that expression of yours is really… Anyway, it makes me anxious. Go then. Pay attention to your safety, and don’t be too frivolous.”

 

“Sister, I will leave the matters here to you. I’m going to pretend to be a nobody. When this war is over, we’ll… We’ll rest together!”

 

“Meanie! How can you still be thinking of such naughty things now? Older sister Bella, we’re about to charge at the enemy. I’ll go back to my post first.”

 

The low sound of the Demon Horn rang. It was the Demon King’s coalition’s signal to charge. The two sides were going to battle on the Harvey Plains. Long-range weapons such as cannons and catapults were launched before they could be set up. The demon troops weren’t ready either, and the demons didn’t use magic attacks because they were afraid of injuring friendly forces. The two sides fought a bloody battle.

 

The first confrontation was between the flying units from both sides. On Bella’s side, it was the Bone Dragon Knights, and they were fighting against the Black Dragon Knights of the Dark Humans. The commander of the flying demons was Devastating Evil Dragon Lolita. Golden Dragon Princess Laceman and Demon World Princess Diaz served as her deputies. They all flew to assist Lolita in the air.

 

Lolita embodied a dark loli and was floating in mid-air. Behind her, a pair of small dragon wings was flapping. Those Black Dragon Knights that rushed at her were shattered into dust by devastating evil energy before they could even get close to her. 

“With this kind of strength, you’re not even qualified to be cannon fodder! Die!”

As Lolita was floating in the sky, she didn’t forget to hold a small black umbrella. After she finished speaking, she gently spun the umbrella, and a whole lot of black-colored energy rained down from the top of the umbrella and shot at the Black Dragon Knights.

 

The Black Dragon Knights, who were hit, instantly melted with their mounts as if they had been attacked by concentrated sulfuric acid. Many of these Black Dragon Knights, who hadn’t yet fully melted, fell to the ground, triggering a massive explosion.

 

The Dark Coalition’s skeleton soldier phalanx had almost zero defense against air attacks and was hit by this disguised bombs, disrupting the formation. The Blood Knight regiment led by Eleanor took this opportunity to charge at the phalanx.

 

Bella charged with the Death Knight regiment, with Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha following her. Behind the Death Knight regiment was a mixed infantry regiment of skeleton soldiers and demon guards. The strongest infantry was the hundred thousand demonic dragon guards beside Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha.

 

As they had followed Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha in several world wars, their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of elite-level demon guards, and they were regarded as the strongest infantry of the Demon King Coalition.

 

White Wolf Princess Tania and Silver Fox Princess Vanessa didn’t join the war. Bella was afraid that they would get cold feet, so she got Succubus Queen Aisha to place them in the rear of the Demon King allied forces and watch over them.

 

Tania and Vanessa were tied up in the Demon King’s carriage. The two girls were tied with their backs against each other. They didn’t have any clothes on their bodies, and their mouths were stuffed with special soft gag balls. Aisha sat on the side with her legs crossed and looked at them thoughtfully.

 

“Don’t you move. Although the honorable Demon King said not to hurt you, I have many ways to let you…”

 

Tania and Vanessa were blindfolded by a red cloth and couldn’t do anything except listen to the sound of fighting from the collision of weapons outside the carriage. Bella didn’t allow them to see all this because she was afraid that they would hate her after they watch her kill the Beastmen.

 

As soon as they heard Aisha’s words, Vanessa and Tania simmered down. The succubus queen’s tactics were too horrible. The loli Death God Maureen, who was also locked in the carriage, had been teased by her into a pitiful state. Even a God had surrendered. It was better they stopped moving so much.

 

“Where is sister Demon King? I want to see our older sister. Older sister, have a heart. Let me see sister Demon King, okay?”

 

“The honorable Demon King is busy right now. Why? Do you want it again? What a greedy little vixen. I think you’ve reported the wrong divine position! What about it? Are you interested in learning how to be a succubus like me?”

 

“No… Who said I want it, you’re a bad sister! The war can’t keep being developed any longer. I’ll be swamped if this goes on. How long is it going to take me to clean up so many dead souls?!”

 

Death God Maureen blushed. She was sitting in a seiza position beside the Succubus Queen Aisha’s, both hands hugging her small breasts. There was something wrong with the snacks Aisha fed her. Her throat felt dry, and she wanted to do naughty stuff.

 

Aisha stopped teasing this loli Death God. By the time Bella returned from the war, this loli wouldn’t be able to take it anymore. When the time came, all Demon King Bella had to do was wait for the loli to throw herself into her arms.

 

On the Harvey Plains, Bella’s army had already fought with the Beastmen allied forces. The Beastmen troops, which was made up of more than five million soldiers and had the advantage of numbers, was beaten back by the three million demon soldiers. This war would be called “The War of the Seven Kings” in Beastmen’s history because there were three Beastmen Kings and four Demon Kings.

The Beastmen archers weren’t in place. Facing the charge of hundreds of thousands of Death Knights, nearly a million Wolfman cavalry lacked even the courage to face them. The Wolf Knight’s mount, the Demon Wolf, wasn’t as tall as the warhorses of the human cavalry.

 

The wolf knights were still somewhat effective against human knights. Demon wolves could use their claws and teeth to attack the humans’ steeds, killing them. It would knock the humans off their horses. However, this tactic was useless to the Death Knights. The demonic dream horse itself was superior to the demon wolf and wasn’t afraid of the demon wolf’s bite or claws. More often than not, the demon wolves had no way of breaking through the horse’s defense.

 

With a kick, the demonic dream horse could send the demon wolf and the wolf knight on the wolf’s back flying several meters away. As soon as the two cavalries met, the wolf cavalry immediately retreated. After the wolf knight’s line of defense had been broken, the skeleton soldiers and the demon guards who followed after, penetrated the Beastmen allied forces like sharp swords.

The Beastmen didn’t have flying units. Many Bone Dragon Knights hovered over their heads, suppressing the Beastmen soldiers on the ground from the air. On the back of every Bone Dragon Knight stood one or two demon mages.

 

On the ground, they had to also take into account the risk of accidentally injuring friendly forces and couldn’t be completely free with their attacks, but it wasn’t the same when they were in the air. The rear troops of the Beastmen allied forces hadn’t yet mixed in with their friendly forces. The Beastmen, who were so sure of their safety, became the primary targets of these demon mages.

 

Countless black energy balls shot out from the backs of the Bone Dragon Knights and hit the rear of the Beastmen allied forces like bombs. Many Weretiger and Werelion soldiers were killed before they even had the chance to enter the battle properly.

 

Bella got off her horse and fought among the skeleton infantry. She didn’t carry any weapons but held a small round shield in her left hand while her right hand had transformed into the Demon God’s Claw, which she used as a sword. This claw was more terrifying than an ordinary sword. With a swing, the wolf knights were split into two halves, both man and mount.

 

Before long, the grass around Bella was littered with mutilated corpses of the Wolfmen. Fortunately, Tania didn’t see this. Otherwise, this wolf girl wouldn’t cooperate the next time she wanted to sleep with her.

 

In the chaos of war, Bella met an acquaintance – Harrington, son of the Wolf King. He was pale with fear and was fleeing towards the rear under his subordinates’ desperate attempts to cover him.

 

“Little one, I have endured you for a long time. I shall send you on your way today…”
