Chapter 24 : The Red Bear vs Demons Part 2

Two days later, Minaisa, Tormeus, early morning, Day 24, Month 12, 1639

Elei: I'm scared... I'm so scared... someone, help us...

Elei, who ran a diner in the Minaisa district of Tormis, was shaking in fear. In the middle of the day, all the survivors from the Demon Lord's invasion were gathered in the town square. Demons watched the entire area, so they couldn't run away. There was one person who tried to escape before, but he was quickly caught then cooked right in front of everyone. The demons had laughed and pointed at the torture, making remarks like "live dancing, hahaha!" They repeated this each day, taking several people away to be eaten.

Demons: Today will be... you, an' you... an' you

Just yesterday, her neighbor and childhood friend, a girl named Menia, was chosen. Her parents fought desperately to protect her, so they too were chosen and now all three were gone. It was a living hell. Why now... why did some terrifying creature from a fairy tale like the Demon Lord come back now? If any gods were listening, they really needed help

She thought her other childhood friends: Gai, who became a mercenary, and Moah, who became a knight. She wondered if they would come to help. Sir Moah was stationed at the Doors to the World, though, so he might already be dead

The kingdom's knights tried to rescue them many times, but the Red Ogre had destroyed the main road connecting the town square to the castle gate, so it was now untraversable. She remembered an old story about the Demon Lord's army fighting against the elves, the God of the Red Star heard the prayers of the elves' god and sent down messengers to fight them. She was an elf herself; even though she did not believe in any gods, she prayed anyway.

Elei: God! God, please! Help my people! Help everyone here! Destroy the demons! Send your messengers again! Please!!!

So she prayed... but nothing happened.

Demons: Uhhh... and meat for today...

The demons were choosing people to eat.

Demons 1: The Demon Lord said something plain would be good today

Demons 2: Maybe we'll have vegetables be the main dish, then...

All the residents felt their tension dissipate into relief

Demons 4: For the seasoning, an elf woman would be just right. You

A demon grabbed Elei's right hand.

Elei: NOOOOOO! GOD, HEEEEEELP!!!

???: Oy, stop that

At that moment...

BOOM... BOOM...

The Red Ogre went up in smoke

A few moments earlier, in the Tunnels beneath Tormis

It had been decided that Dmitry Baklushin would lead part of the platoon through the tunnels located beneath Tormis that led directly towards Minaisa

Gai: Pss... Moah

Moah: What do you want Gai?

Gai: Do you remember our childhood friend Elei?

Moah: Ah, you went out with her a couple of times before going as a mercenary to the Gates of the World

Gai: When we are inside Minaisa, give me a little time. I want to rescue her

Moah: You know I can't, we are on a joint mission with the Soviet Army, we cannot act on our own

Gai: I see..

Gai said dejectedly

Moah: Mmm... Baklushin, there is a very important person that Gai has a relationship with. Gai suspects that she isa hostage of the Demon Lord. Gai wants to see if she is still alive and rescue her
