Chapter 143
Dagon’s Death
The first act was the head-on collision of the Berneze and Dagon army. And if the second act was the arrival of Ryoma’s reinforcements, then the third act was Dagon’s attempt at a vicious revenge.
It had seemed like it would be over for him after being attacked from the back, but once Dagon moved to the front and started fighting, he regained the advantage quickly.
It was true that Ryoma and the reinforcements from the other cities were efficiently taking down Dagon’s soldiers, but Dagon himself was much too strong. And so even though his army grew smaller, he still overwhelmed the Berneze troops.
Ryoma muttered with a bitter expression, ‘I knew there was a Demon King here who had the power to change the tide of battle, but I didn’t expect it to be Dagon.’
Indeed, that was the case. Dagon crushed dozens under his foot and killed just as many with his fists. At this point, he was likely responsible for half of the deaths of our soldiers.
And since Ryoma was very wise, she immediately understood that there was no point in focusing on Dagon’s men. They would have to take down the Demon King himself.
And so she gave the order to the artilleries behind her. They would fire at Dagon all at once.
It was clear that they hadn’t expected to use cannons here, and it took awhile for them to be prepared. However, they somehow managed, and began firing.
