Let's Seize Air Superiority! # 2
What I felt was impatience.
An angel with wings even larger than Liliel’s was approaching, flying at a low speed. Her wings were barely flapping, and she held a trident in one hand.
Her attire was similar to Liliel’s. Her appearance was, as expected, a blonde, voluptuous beauty. A sexy woman with a large bust and wide hips.
"..."
It would be great if I could capture an angel unit like that. But then again, Liliel is still worse than a pixie when it comes to flight. Perhaps angels actually have inferior flight capabilities compared to pixies?
Anyway.
The angel was looking around, scanning the area. It seemed she intended to obtain intelligence by overlooking the entire jungle and report it back to the human army.
Come to think of it, it’s truly a cheat. Taking flight with wings to scout and then moving troops based on that? Seeing the enemy pull the same trick I’ve been using makes my stomach churn.
I should be the only one pulling such tricks.
"Tsk."
Come a little closer.
Just a little more. I need to make her fly a bit longer to drain her stamina and increase her escape distance. If she passes over our heads and still shows no sign of noticing us, I will order the attack.
It’s fine.
The anti-air defenses are already sufficient. Haven't we camouflaged the entire position? Feeling that impatience, I crouched on a branch and stared at the angel.
—...
The moment the angel passed over our heads, she slowly turned her body around to continue her surveillance. Good. She passed right over where we were. She didn't notice us.
Now, it’s time for a surprise attack.
—*Rustle.*
Carefully.
I climbed down the tree.
Then, I lowered my posture and quickly approached the pixies.
"Serineu. She passed over us."
"Yeah. I saw it too."
Her voice was tense.
"Now is the time. Go and shoot her down immediately. She’s only just passed over our heads. If you go now, you can attack right away...!"
"Okay! Got it!"
"Then go! Serineu! My elite air force!"
As I whispered low, she shouted.
"Pixies! It’s our turn now!"
"Let's go!"
"We're going to shoot her down!"
—*Whoosh!*
The pixies kicked off their perches and formed into a flight formation. Some were nervous, while others were excited. But there wasn't a single pixie who thought they would lose!
Watching them!
"Pixies! Sortie!"
The moment I gave the command!
—*Vroom!*
—*Vroom!*
—*Vroom!*
The sound of wings flapping erupted, creating a gust of wind. The pixies had taken flight all at once!
Now, I have no choice but to trust the pixies.
—*Swish!*
Divided into two groups, the pixies maintained their formation and flew in a straight line toward the angel. Watching that scene, I immediately climbed a nearby tree to observe everything.
"Good...!"
The pixies were flying toward the angel, and the angel, having looked down late, realized the appearance of the enemy.
She looked surprised, no matter how you looked at it.
What are you going to do now?
—*Whoosh!*
The angel’s wings spread wide. Thinking of fighting? Or fleeing? But the pixies’ firepower projection was faster than the angel could react.
—*Pew!*
—*Boom!*
As Wind Cutters infused with mana were fired in rapid succession, a protective barrier flashed around the angel. Switching to defense, then. The angel stood still, extending both arms to maintain the barrier.
Of course.
Stopping while being subjected to firepower projection is a stupid move. Soon, the pixies’ crossfire poured down.
—*Bang!*
The barrier exploded, and the angel plummeted!
"We did it!"
The pixies fiercely pursued the falling angel, firing Wind Cutters continuously! It was like a fighter jet firing its machine guns...!
It’s a victory!
There’s no way an angel in that state can withstand this! But at that moment. The falling angel suddenly flapped her wings hard, performed an emergency acceleration, and began to fly toward the rear!
"That bitch!"
She’s trying to run away!
She intends to bolt to the rear!
"Serineu!"
My voice wouldn't reach her, but I shouted Serineu’s name. But there was nothing to worry about. The pixies pursued the angel very skillfully.
—*Flash!*
Suddenly, the angel’s body flashed.
"Don't tell me... Flare!"
The moment I shouted, eight spheres of light were fired toward the pixies! They were light shells flying, leaving tails behind like tadpoles!
—*Swish!*
However, the pixies perfectly dodged all the incoming spherical shells. That’s right. We didn't do all that training for nothing.
Anyway, the two pixie squadrons pursued the angel and projected their firepower.
Finally.
—*Bang!*
The angel plummeted once again.
"Shot down! We shot her down...! It’s a success!"
It was far away, so I couldn't see well, but the sight of her being shot down was clear!
Then, I have to catch the angel now!
"Dark Elves! And one squad of Lamia! We’re going to the point where that angel crashed! Vanessa and Sharan, follow me too!"
I immediately gave the order and ran toward the crash site.
"Shaa!"
The guards ran, escorting me immediately. Looking at the sky, the pixies were pursuing the falling angel. Yes. If we go, we’ll meet them all.
"Absolutely excellent!"
Arriving at the scene.
"Ugh...!"
The angel, now in a mess, was sprawled out. It seems she got scratched up here and there while falling. The branches of the surrounding trees were also roughly smashed.
But she’s more intact than I thought.
Her shoulders, arms, and wings were pierced, but she didn't die from the fall, nor was she completely pulverized.
"She cast a protective barrier while falling! That must be why she’s alive!"
A pixie who flew over reported.
"Good!"
Whatever the case, she must have mitigated the shock of the fall with the barrier.
That means she has definitely exhausted all her strength.
"Surround her completely!"
"Shaa!"
—*Papat!*
The Dark Elves and Lamia immediately surrounded the sprawled angel.
"Sharan! Bind her!"
"I’ll bind her! Shaa!"
Sharan made vines sprout, binding the angel’s arms and legs. At that point, the angel, having regained consciousness, spoke sharply.
"Wh, what...! Who are you people!"
A reaction similar to Liliel’s, I see.
"Stay still!"
Anyway, I must conduct an interrogation immediately. I have to find out where the other angels are. I need to extract their location and carry out a piecemeal defeat!
—*Whoosh!*
I immediately created a sphere of mana in my palm.
"Th, this disgusting energy...! What! What do you intend to do! Demon!"
I injected it straight into the angel’s lower abdomen.
"Eek."
The moment my mana flowed into the angel’s womb area.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
A scream of pain erupted.
—*Crackle!*
At the same time, sparks of light flew, but I ignored them and continued to inject mana. Injecting mana is the best way to subdue an angel. This angel has exhausted all her power. Even if the sparks sting, it’s bearable.
This angel must become my prisoner and vomit up all the information.
"Stay still. If you don't resist, I won't kill you."
"Ughhhhhhh!"
As I continued to inject mana like that.
"Ugh."
The convulsing angel fainted on the spot.
"Good! We caught the angel! Dark Elves! Capture this angel and drag her away! We’re returning to the base!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The disciplined Dark Elves immediately made a stretcher and laid the angel down. Now, let’s start the interrogation.
The pixies were literally in a festive mood.
"Yahoo!"
"Hooray! We shot her down? We did it!"
"Angels aren't a big deal either!"
"We are the elite air force!"
The pixies, who had successfully completed their mission and returned without any damage, couldn't hide their excitement, dancing, singing, and praising each other.
"Keruk! Pixies are fucking strong!"
"Grrrrr!"
"Gyusat! They are fucking strong!"
Of course, my troops were the same.
"Kyahahahaha! That’s the power of us pixies!"
Serineu was proud, holding her head high.
"Hehehe! Yes! You did very well! Really, why are you so strong! You guys are the strongest air force!"
"Strongest Air Force!"
"Long live the Pixies!"
"Yahoo!"
Watching them, even my tension was rising.
"So, Serineu. How was it?"
"I was surprised when she suddenly accelerated, but I was expecting it anyway!"
"As expected!"
"The angels’ barrier isn't invincible either! And I could easily dodge the attacks she fired while running away! It’s an easy opponent if we gang up on her! That’s how strong we are!"
"The Demon King made us strong!"
"Long live the Big-Boobed Pixie Corps!"
After stroking the heads of the happy pixies, I promised them a reward. How could they be so cute? They were feeling great joy in the fact that they had become this strong.
"Anyway. Liliel? How is it? This angel?"
"At the very least, she is an angel of a similar rank to me."
"Eh. She looks stronger than Liliel, though?"
When Irene said that, Liliel shouted.
"Tsk...! That’s not it! I was subdued while in a state of emergency landing, but this one came down properly, didn't she! Naturally, I would look weaker!"
"No, who said anything? Hehehe."
Liliel, teased, blushed and made excuses. Anyway, this angel is at the level of Liliel in her original state.
"Then shall we wake her up. Lumika. Shoot some water at her face."
"Okay."
—*Splash!*
As Lumika sprayed water on the angel’s face.
"Eek?! Cough!"
The angel woke up immediately.
"Ugh...! Ugh! Haa. Haa..."
It seems her wounds hurt a lot. I’ve already given her first aid, so she won't die from blood loss.
"Are you awake?"
Anyway, I went in front of the restrained angel and said in a low voice.
"You are... No. You’ve been captured."
She’s quick to grasp the situation.
"What kind of fucking bastards are you?"
"What?"
"Huh? My power...!"
The angel frowned.
Your power is already zero, kid.
"You haven't come to your senses yet. Liliel—"
"Ah! You... Angel! What is this! No! You’re not an angel! You fucking traitor!"
"..."
Liliel, who was pointed out, made a menacing expression.
"Traitor? Did you just say traitor?"
"Shut up! You traitor! You’ve joined the demons!"
This.
"Hmm... Is this girl just like Liliel?"
"Who are you calling just like Liliel!"
"Huh? Liliel? Are you raising your voice at me now?"
"N-no... Reika. It’s not like that..."
Anyway.
"Liliel. It seems an angel junior is coming in. I need you to educate her properly and interrogate her. As quickly as possible."
