Chapter 177: Two great forces

Demon lord Jira remained seated on his horse, flanked by multiple soldiers and his trusted advisor Lilith. As they surveyed the battlefield, Lilith used her magic eye to zoom in on the opposing forces.

"It seems we have underestimated the Lord of Elves," She commented. "He's holding his own against us."

Jira let out a deep sigh. "I did not expect this. How was he able to gather so many forces so quickly?".

Lilith frowned in disgust as she considered the possibility of retreat. "Should we fall back?"

Jira looked up at the sky, noting that the sun was setting. "It will be dark soon," He said. "Blow the horns. Let them know we are retreating, but not back to the kingdom. We will find somewhere close to the kingdom to heal ourselves".

With that, Jira turned his horse and began to lead the retreat.

"Blow the horns! We are retreating!" Lilith informed the soldiers, and they all began relaying the messages to one another.
