Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 55
Vampire Princess and City Extermination
Translated by AmaLynne
「Then, ladies and gentlemen, as soon as the warders break down the wards, charge in. You may kill the people inside as soon as you see them!」
「What about the prisoners, Lean-sama? Do you want me to take a few?」
「No, I don’t need them. Please exterminate them. Every last one of them…Well, don’t worry if they slip out. I’ll come out and kill them.」
The demons were stunned for a moment by my order, but the next moment they roared.
Well, it’s normal to be stunned. Normally, there is no order for extermination unless there is a serious problem.
But, though, that’s in the case of a normal war. It’s a case of a means to force the other side to do what we say.
Our ultimate goal is the extinction of the human race. The fundamentals are different.
「Lean-sama, we have received a call. Requesting your permission to break down the wards at any time.」
「I understand. Then destroy them…Yes, all troops, charge! Surround them from all four gates and hit them in the sack!」
The moment the wards were destroyed, all of the demon tribe, who had been placed on standby at each gate with five hundred, were sent charging in.
The vampire’s sight and hearing give me some information, but…
Geez, I honestly can’t stop laughing.
The scene is a hellish one. Even though there were some casualties from the explosion, the humans should have been outnumbered, yet they were being killed at their mercy.
Maybe some of the prisoners who blew up went to the enchanter. So the explosion engulfed the enchanter, and the human enhancement was cut off.
The demons, having regained their original superiority, unilaterally wreaked havoc on the human race.
「…Alright. Then I’ll go out too. Shelly-san is probably the better commander, and I’d be more efficient if I went on a rampage.」
Then I plunged into what was a city of smoke, fire, and blood, a city of humans.
◆◇◆◇◆
…Ah, maybe I didn’t need to come.
The damage to the demons was slight, while the humans suffered greatly.
The smoke is making visibility poor, and the races with good eyesight…The horsemen and dragonmen are hunting humans regardless of their race, so humans are being hunted very efficiently.
「It can’t be helped, kill those who are trying to escape first…Hmm?」
There is something wrong in one place.
Within my bio-sensing, the signs of a few demons have disappeared.
This is bad. They must be very skilled at this.
I rushed to the scene and there it was…Oh, this is awesome.
Blonde hair, armor, ponytail. She’s a lady knight of the royal road.
「She is…This woman is strong.」
「Stay alert! Surround her! Avenge your people!」
「Come at me as many as you can, you vile demons! I will never…」
「You won’t give in? Well, no, but you will.」
「!? W-Who are you…!?」
「Ah, it’s Lean-sama!」
「Hey, hey, hey, the commander shouldn’t have gone in there, Lean-sama?」
「Because there’s no other way. If a human were being there, you’d kill it, wouldn’t you?」
「The level of hatred for humans is rare, even in the Demon Army…」
Rude.
Well, these subordinates…they’re all older than me, so I use honorifics, but communication is important.
「Answer the question! Who are you?」
「…By the way, who is this annoying lady knight?」
「She used to be a captain of the guard in this town. Be careful.」
「…Yeah, I’ll be fine. This much, I’m fine.」
「You, you…!」
「You seem angry, but I’m angry too. Would you please bring the bodies in?」
「Yes.」
「You think I’m going to let you get away with that?」
With that said, she tried to slash someone approaching the body with the speed of the wind.
…You know, don’t you think you can do that in front of me, or are you dumb?
「You’re slow.」
「Gah!?」
So I hit her lightly and stopped her.
Un, it’s weak.
「Gaaaahhh…!」
「…I can’t believe such a light jab can have this kind of power.」
「It’s amazing, isn’t it? She was eight years old and had just beaten that Yomi.」
「T-T-This…!《Intermediate Heal》!」
Oh, recovery magic.
A type of magical swordsman who heals themself. That’s a tricky type.
Well, that’s only if you’re strong. This woman is no match for me.
「You, you…! I’ll kill you right here, right now!」
「You’ve been nagging me for a while now…come quickly. Oh, that’s right. As a reward for withstanding my attack, even though I went super easy on you, how about I remember your name for you?」
Well, I guess I’ll forget about it tomorrow.
「I won’t reveal my name to the demon tribe! And there’s no need for that. Because I will kill you right here, right now!」
「I see. Well, I can’t do that. Oh, I’ll tell you my name just in case.」
「(This guy just wanted to call herself and make the other guy despair.)」
「(I’m sure of it.)」
「(There, shut up! She can hear you!)」
I was trying to be cool, but you just ruined it!
「Hmph! I don’t give a shit what your name is! Die!」
「Ei.」
「Kuhaaa!?」
Is she an idiot?
I’m about to say my name.
「Well, let me tell you something, okay? My name is Lean. I’m a vampire, fifth in the ranking of the Demon King Army, the『Bloodthirsty General』 Lean Bloodlord. Nice to meet you and goodbye.」
「…………De……Demon King’s…………Executive……!」
Oh, her face turned blue in an instant.
The best thing about being an executive is that just telling people this title is enough to make them despair!
「No……way……that……no way……win, no……」
「Oh, you finally get it? Then die♡」
I kicked her in the neck with all my might.
Her neck came off. Her face was crushed.
「Whew…That felt good.」
「…Lean-sama is kind to us demons, but she’s so cruel to humans that even we can’t stand her.」
「Well, it’s pretty refreshing for us too, but…It’s kind of gross, isn’t it? A thirteen-year-old girl with a fresh face and no head.」
Shut up, outsiders!
◆◇◆◇◆
「…This is the end of the whole operation. After a few days of rest here, we will join Rain-san at the battlefield ahead and move to capture the metropolis.」
「I understand…Oh, by the way.」
「Is there something I can help you with?」
「That female knight didn’t know about me, did she? I’m an executive, and unlike Yomi, I’m not in hiding, but she doesn’t know my face very well, does she?」
「That’s true, isn’t it?」
「Why is that?」
「Lean-sama has never returned a single human alive in the battles he has been involved in.」
「…………Oh, right.」
That’s because even if I wanted to spread the word, I wouldn’t. Well, I’ve never thought about spreading the word.
