Galeos

**Galeos** is a commander of the alliance army and head of the Alliance of the Races, who fought against the Demon Lord’s Army in the Mythic Era thousands of years ago.

## Appearance

In the light novel version, Galeos is a muscular middle-aged man with long grey hair, wearing a beard without mustache. His outfit resembles a sort of a samurai kimono, hakama, and armor.

## Personality

Galeos is the head of the Alliance of the Races, an organization of all the races united to oppose the Demon Lord. He is one of the seven great generals of the Alliance of the Races. He is quite a realist, and when he hears a report that God has heard his wish, he doesn't quite believe it.

However, when he saw the overwhelming fighting power of the Sun God's messenger, he learned that the report was true, and he changed his attitude and cooperated in the defeat of the Demon Lord. As part of this effort, he joined the Imperial Japanese 2nd Otherworld Western Force that drove the Demon Lord away. As chief of staff, he gave them various advice on this world.

## Chronology

### Great Race-Demon War Arc

In the Mythic era thousands of years ago, the Alliance of the Races in the Philades continent could no longer hold out against the Demon Lord's Army, forcing 10,000 alliance warriors under Commander Galeos to cross the great ocean and retreat to their last hold out in the Rodenius continent. Four of the seven great generals of the Alliance of the Races were killed, leaving three surviving generals Galeos, Orlaxle, and Ta Lou. The Demon Lord's Army used Charybdis and Kraken sea monsters to cross the great ocean to the Rodenius continent, assembling 15,300 demons to engage the Iwat Valley.

After the Alliance of the Races' final major defensive operation failed in their last line of defense in the Iwat Valley by the overwhelming Demon Lord's Army, Head Priest Ilkanresis and the prostrated elves prostrated themselves for all the races in the Divine Forest before the altar. Ilkanresis learned the human reinforcements called the Emissaries of the Sun God from the Fertility God Astalte in the ball of light from the altar, who lost her name, and her name has faded to the memories of the people by exchanging from the Sun God Shamash. He reported their conversation with the gods to the alliance meeting on the defense of the Divine Forest that night, in which army commander Galeos was also present. At the meeting, the following was what they agreed upon:

* *They’d entrust the full authority of the Alliance of the Races to the emissaries of the Sun God, which are expected to appear before long.*
* *To lessen the number of casualties moving forward, they will prioritize retreating over committing to a fight.*
* *To prevent the forest from being burned as much as possible, they will have units patrolling to kill any fires. If an enemy unit is encountered, even if they are an easy kill, they will not be pursued. Instead, they will be lured deeper into the forest where multiple units can converge and eliminate them. The goal is to buy time.*

Someday later, the prologue to what will be the fight for the survival of humanity would begin.

After the Imperial Japanese Otherworld Force annihilated the Demon Army’s Rodenius Dispatch Force on the Divine Forest, Galeos participated with the twenty high-ranking personnel from the Alliance of the Races and the Emissaries of the Sun God in the high-level meeting at the sanctuary inside the Divine Forest. Chief of Staff Lievet explained to the Japanese officers about the Demon Lord's invasion over two continents, Philades and Milishient, in the new world as he showed them a map on top of the table. They learned the reason why the Demon Lord didn’t cross to Rodenius might have been since the races had not completely wiped out on Philades. Galeos told them a tale of the Ravernal Empire that Demon Lord Nosgorath created by the light-winged people. Everyone conjectured on who the Demon Lord was on point, but there was no use in pondering more on that aspect.

Right after Vice Admiral Kasai Ryuuken and General Matsushita Takao discussed their plan for invading the southeastern Philades Continent, the formation of their forces decided promptly to split into two that would each take the eastern and western routes. Galeos and Kenshiva were chosen as the chief of staff due to their intimate knowledge of the Philades continent. They were both quick to offer their opinion. The nineteen ships of the Otherworld Deployment Fleet sailed toward the southeastern Philades Continent.

Four days later, in the oceans 200km south of the Philades Continent, Gulgorath spotted the black smoke emanating from the horizon and sent 50 wyverns for scouting them. In the bridge of Kaga-class aircraft carrier *Tosa*, Fleet Commander Kasai Ryuuken heard the report and handed Alliance Army Commander Galeos a pair of binoculars to look at, who confirmed the orcs riding those wyverns. He ordered the crews to prepare the battle stations and the pilots to launch the air supremacy squadrons. Immediately after the orders were issued, the aircraft carrier *Tosa* and *Ikoma* launched 25 Zero fighters, 20 Type 99 dive bombers, and 15 Type 97 torpedo bombers. Galeos looked at the planes lifting off as the ships bearing the banner of the sun sent them off.

After the 200 wyverns were shot out of the sky by fifty Zero fighters, Galeos was at a loss for words to witness the air battle from the bridge of the aircraft carrier Tosa. After the destruction of the 2nd Rodenius Dispatch Force in the Battle of Philades Southern Sea, Kasai Ryuuken and Matsushita Takao listened to Galeos’s explanation about the numerical superiority of the Demon Lord's Army and the Band of Warriors under Ta Lou, who left with only 300 warriors for his chances of survival and lived under the village of Laterre in the complicated geology of the Doria region. It was probably best to have an expert on ground maneuvers handle the upcoming operation. The Otherworld Deployment Fleet sailed toward the southeastern coast of the Philades Continent where the Demon Lord’s Coastal Defense Force and encampment.

After the disaster and destruction of the Demon Lord’s Coastal Defense Force in the Battle of the Southeastern Philades, the Otherworld Army Division had completed its landing. Galeos and 2nd Division Commander Sagara rode the Kurogane Type 95 scout car. Galeos noticed the Demon Lord's Army wouldn’t participate, and Demon Lord Nosgorath fled west with his at least 2,000 demons, splitting from the Yellow Ogre, who escaped to the coastline eastwards. Later, the Otherworld Army Division promptly made their way north, splitting up as planned with the 1st Division going east and the 2nd Division going west to split further and isolate the elements of the Demon Lord's Army.

After hearing the report about the people surviving on Mt. Ancald from two Zero fighter pilots, who returned the Kaga-class aircraft carrier *Tosa* from Mt. Ancald, Galeos still found it difficult to believe. Moreover, having heard the part where a lightning bolt jolted up from the slope of the mountain towards the sky, he bent his head over after concluding that there may be a very strong mage on Mt. Ancald. According to what the elf said, there appeared to be an obstinate elven mage living on the mountain. Vice Admiral Kasai Ryuuken, Galeos, and some officers headed for Mount Ancald and met a young-looking elven mage Luca, but she changed her appearance to a beautiful old woman in her 70s by magic. After Luca decided to join the Alliance of the Races, they returned to the coast through the path and found the destroyer Sasameyuki waiting for them as planned. Someday later, as soon as Galeos mentioned Luca’s name to Ilkanresis, he jerked back in fear and surprise. Afterward, just as requested by Luca, they sent forth Meriell from Rodenius to tend to Luca’s residence.

One month later, after leaving behind Mount Ancald, the western force took the route going down the Maal peninsula and ended up at the westernmost tip of the Philades continent. Luca was aboard the flagship *Tosa*. Saying that her part was still far off in the future, she kept changing her appearance from an old woman to a young woman over and over as she walked around the ship. Apologizing to the surprised Zero fighter pilots first, she was then shown otherworldly weapons before then becoming chummy with them. Galeos tried to explain to Kasai about her magical power and talent were undoubtedly not on the level of a regular person. Before Galeos could finish his explanation, they were interrupted by a message from a Zero fighter that spotted an unknown number of sea monsters approaching from the ocean to the west of the Philades continent. The Blue Ogre and the White Ogre’s force have finally arrived. The prelude to the decisive battle had begun.

In the Battle of the Western Philades, when Fleet Commander Kasai Ryuuken noticed a massive dragon on the back of a sea monster, Galeos confirmed the Red Scarlet Dragon through a pair of binoculars. Kasai had already ordered his entire fleet to attack the enemy force. Unleashing countless shells from their guns, they were able to hit some of the sea monsters. However, the Scarlet Dragon didn’t seem to have suffered any hits by the magical gravity wall from its six horns to deflect their shots. Observing the chain of attacks closely, Kasai concluded that the Scarlet Dragon seemed to be able to control gravity to deflect physical attacks, in which it could control both attraction and repulsion, but Galeos didn’t understand what the word gravity means. Despite Kasai’s explanation, all that Galeos heard was gibberish. After the fleet wasted munitions, they halted all attacks on the Scarlet Dragon. Several sea monsters landed, allowing 2,000 to 3,000 beasts to get off, but Sagara and the imperial soldiers annihilated them, except the Blue Ogre and the White Ogre. The Demon Lord's Army reunited and continued marching northwards on the west of the Philades continent with 7,000 demonic troops to the land of Chirius.

Next nine months later, the Demon Lord's Army took their first steps into the land of Chirius, Philades’s northernmost region. Sole defender dwarf Kijje of the Gua-Chirius Kingdom ambushed and hurled the lumps of ice at them. Demon Lord Nosgorath protected the Scarlet Dragon and ordered the Blue Ogre and the White Ogre to find and stop whatever it was hurling those ice lumps at them. Releasing themselves from the shield of the Scarlet Dragon, the two ogres hurried up the foot of the still snow-covered mountain. At the same time, Fleet Commander Kasai Ryuuken and Galeos watched the situation of the Demon Lord and his minions from afar. All of a sudden, the lumps of ice flung from somewhere beset the Demon Lord's Army. Countless boulders of ice hurled from the same spot spectacularly descended on the Scarlet Dragon one after the other. Kasai wondered who was launching the enormous lumps of ice, which could be hurled easily without the help of a catapult. Galeos confirmed a person as he was looking at the foot of the mountain with a pair of binoculars. Kasai quickly pointed his pair of binoculars towards the foot of the Gua-Chirius mountain, where the dwarf ruined settlements around. He immediately contacted Army Division Commander Sagara, but Sagara was aware they spotted the ogres heading south for the dwarf. The light tanks were now on their way to provide support.

After losing more demon troops to attacks from the lumps of ice and emissaries, the Demon Lord and the remains of his army had escaped the land of Chirius. Sagara and Tasaki returned with the rest of the 2nd Division, bringing Kijje to Kasai and Galeos to the camp. When they consulted the dwarves, who were with the Alliance of the Races, they got confirmation that Kijje was the true prince of the Gua-Chirius Kingdom as the last of the Chirius dwarves. Kijje displayed Galeos and other Alliances filled with dignity and explained to them his pride, who left all alone in his ruined kingdom to be the sole defender of the land in the three years since the Demon Lord's Army invaded the Gua-Chirius Kingdom. Galeos once more introduced Kasai and the others as the Emissaries of the Sun God. Kijje requested Kasai and Galeos to come along with their forces. With Kasai also giving his consent, Kijje added to their ranks.

At the Battle of Topa, the Emissaries of the Sun God would begin their all-out attack on the Demon Lord's Army on the land bridge of Topa. Galeos, sitting in the back of a command car, stated to 1st Division Commander Matsushita that they couldn't hit them after all unless the Scarlet Dragon ran out of magic. Luca suggested neutralizing the gravitational field around the Scarlet Dragon, but she was required to be near to pull it off. To have a group of mages, let alone Luca, get close to a place where they concentrated their bombardment was a no-go for the Japanese. They instead, as Galeos suggested, opted to exhaust their munitions to get the Scarlet Dragon to exhaust its remaining magic, but Demon Lord Nosgorath, the four ogres, and the Scarlet dragon ended up escaping. Galeos believed the Demon Lord and his sub-commanders let to escape and run free, causing be troublesome. He supposed the emissaries to chase them to Grameus, but Matsushita rejected Galeos' plan.

At the end of the land of Topa, the commanders held the meeting under a simple tent. Galeos realized that the Alliance had lost the troops. He requested to ask Kasai and Matsushita about his last wish to construct a great wall across the isthmus in Topa, which the Alliance of the Races sought to reinstate the kingdom again as the shield of mankind to keep these beasts out. Galeos wished for Kasai and Matsushita to assist them in this endeavor, to which they agreed.

At night, Galeos, Ta Lou, and Kenshiva, celebrating their reunion, made off with sake from Matsushita and went to the beach. Ta Lou and Kenshiva were a bit haggard, harboring some darkness deep within their eyes. Hearing Mareja's death, Galeos lowered his head to mourn him. Ta Lou heard what happened to Orlaxle and how Kenshiva stepped in for him, but Kenshiva didn’t say anything. Galeos gave them to answer that Orlaxle sacrificed by giving their life. Ta Lou replied briefly as he swayed the sake that reeked strongly of rice. He decided on something deep in his heart.

Three months later, after they with the help of the Imperial Japanese began the construction of a great wall across the end of the land of Topa, they completed the Doors of the World. On top of the completed wall, Kasai, Matsushita, Galeos, and Kenshiva stood and looked at the Grameus continent that unfolded before them. When two massive whirlpools appeared at the ends of the stone wall on either side of the isthmus, Kasai and Matsushita gave Galeos and Kenshiva a farewell, giving them sadness. Galeos and Kenshiva offered them their gratitude for saving people. They would pass it on to the rest of the people and upbringing the next generation about the Emissaries of the Sun God. After the formalities, Galeos, Kenshiva, and the people of the Alliance of the Races on the shore waved with shouts of goodbyes to the sailors, soldiers, pilots, and others, who were on the decks of the ships, before heading into the whirlpool to Earth. Once all of the nineteen ships had entered the whirlpools, the whirlpools shrank before disappearing completely.

Nine months later, after they saw the emissaries of the Sun God were gone to Earth, they then devoted their efforts to the restoration of the Topa Kingdom. Having requested manpower from Rodenius to assist in the subjugation of the Demon Lord, Galeos saw the last forces from Rodenius arrive this morning. It would be the last group the Alliance would make: the 1,000-strong Demon Lord Extermination Army.

At night, Ta Lou and Kenshiva stood in front of Galeos, who was sitting next to a bonfire. They discussed the future that the people of the races advocated for Galeos to take up the mantle of the king, but he firmly refused because he still wanted to roam around the different lands of the world to oversee the reconstruction. Then Kijje and Luca joined them. They were reminded of a lot of things about their past and abilities. Shortly afterward, Ta Lou, Luca, Kenshiva, and Kijje decided to join and guide their duty to defeat the Demon Lord, leaving Galeos's duty to the world and its reconstruction where the people of the races needed to be in peace when they returned. Having been persuaded by the three, Galeos reluctantly nodded in acceptance of his duty to protect the people. He no longer wanted to order them to go.

The next day, Ta Lou, Kenshiva, Luca, and Kijje went off to the Grameus continent as part of the Demon Lord Extermination Army under Commander Esperanto with 1,000 strong soldiers. Galeos was left alone. It was unknown what happened to him after.
