Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Beginning of Act 2

The first match was settled in the form of a grand victory on the part of the Grand Flam kingdom, but the subsequent battles are in a state of retreat.

The Great Alexandrus Empire reverted to its original tactics and fired violently at the Grand Fram Army base. However, at first the Grand Flam Kingdom Army was very confused, but eventually settled down and built a defensive formation of magicians for the Imperial War. With the simultaneous deployment of fire defense magic, many shells exploded in the air, reducing damage to the Royal Army.

The Empire, on the other hand, fired more shells at the Royal Army, but with fire-based defense magic that resembles a wall, there was no point in increasing the number, it only increased shell consumption. . In that case, the Imperial side will have to do it carefully. The shells are limited. Just like fireworks, you can't just use it to scatter sparks in the sky.

Eventually, the cannon attack slurs, and a battle similar to that of the first match is developed. Because of the cautiousness of the Imperial side, the scale has become considerably smaller.

In this case, there is no decisive opportunity. Just repeat the same battle.

"... it doesn't work"

Arnold's words do not refer to the Imperial Army. Wonderland Mercenaries. The Wonderland Mercenaries haven't seen any noticeable movement since the first match. This, too, was the cause of the stalled battle.

"Alexandros is completely waiting for you, isn't it difficult?"

The Empire keeps its troops small because it is on the lookout for the Wonderland Mercenaries. Deploying a large army on the front line will result in a melee battle, which will be good for mercenaries in Wonderland.

In order to be able to withdraw immediately, in some cases, he intends to attack with his gun without hesitation at the expense of his allies, and sends a modest number to the front line.

"Is it difficult to break through?"

Arnold is a bit impatient. The Ox and Hashiu troops must have halted the Imperial executive army in the south. Its presence on the battlefield means that the imperial executive army has also had freedom of action. The battle will become even more severe for the kingdom as the number of Imperial troops increases.

"It's the same with the empire."

There is no way for the Empire to break the stalemate. The situation preventing artillery attacks caused Lambert to say this.

"I'm worried about reinforcements from the south."

Lambert was Arnold who thought he didn't understand his concerns.

"If the reinforcements are heading, will the wonderland mercenaries move?"

Lambert knew, and thought that the Wonderland Mercenaries would manage. It seems irresponsible, but this idea is correct. Rion couldn't have grasped the southern movement. If the empire's executive army is on the battlefield, it will have a great opportunity to destroy each individual and intercept.

"Maybe you are waiting for it?"

The Wonderland Mercenaries may be stuck waiting for imperial reinforcements to approach from the south. But this is wrong. Rion's purpose is not to defeat the Imperial Army. Kill Maria and Lancelot. Rion is waiting for the perfect opportunity to do that. That would increase the sacrifice of the Grand Flam Army, but it was not known.

"I don't know. But if 80,000 turns to 90,000, don't you care?"

"That's true, but that's how we move the situation. I want something to get it."

"Impossibility is forbidden. Endurance is never a disadvantage for me."

"Yes."

Don't rush on the battlefield. Their thoughts are correct. But apart from that, they have the wrong idea. The trigger is not something to wait for, but something to make.

The trigger that came is coming.

◇◇◇

"Hurry to reorganize the left wing!

Imperial commanders are urging them to rebuild the left-wing formation. In fact, it's the same with the Grand Fram Army.

New troops emerged from the north, not the south. An aristocratic army with territory in the north. Although the army is supposed to be reinforcements for the Empire, the Empire is not pleased with the arrival of the nobility. I do not remember issuing such an order, it is the noble family's selfish behavior.

That is not all. It is quite doubtful that he is still subordinate to the Empire. We already know that a hostaged family is in the hands of Rion's organization.

If you fall to the Grand Flam Kingdom, it will be an enemy reinforcement for the Empire. That is more than 30,000 troops. The Empire is in a hurry to reshape its formation, fearing that it will open its sides unprotected.

In order to prepare for the north, where the aristocracy army appeared, turn the soldiers and increase the defense of the left wing. Since it is necessary to prepare also for the front where the Grand Fram Kingdom is located, the formation is entirely biased to the left.

Wonderland mercenaries attack the thinner right wing. Moreover, at the worst timing of the formation being reorganized.

"Return the soldier from the left wing! What happened to the gunmen?"

On the right wing, Maria is upset. That's why the assault of Wonderland Mercenaries is terrible.

The first match was a fifty thousand to two thousand battle. However, now that he has made many sacrifices in the first match and has split many soldiers on the left, it is now 25,000-2,000. Although there is still a difference of more than ten times, it has been reduced to half.

Moreover, unlike the first match, the Wonderland Mercenary Offensive is a serious assault to defeat Maria.

"Stop the enemy's feet! Do not allow approach to the main team!"

Gil, the Chief of the Guard, is flying hard, but even with this command, 20,000 soldiers will be stranded, except for the Guard, who will be the main guard. Moreover, general soldiers are far inferior to the SS. I can't resist the Wonderland Mercenaries.

"Death squad! Defeat the other soldiers and put the squad to the front!"

Assault with a bomb. This, too, can only earn time. Just blow it off with the magic of Rion before it reaches the Wonderland Mercenaries.

It is that time that is necessary for the right-wing imperial army today. He wanted time for the troops who left the wings to return.

Several explosions occur on the right wing front. It is a proof that a vacant charge was made.

"Are there no soldiers from the left wing yet?"

"Maria! Move to the left wing! Let's draw in the mercenaries!"

Alain has proposed a strategy. If no troops come from the left wing, you can move here to the left wing. If done well, the Wonderland Mercenaries can be drawn deep into their troops. On the contrary, it is a great chance that the siege may be destroyed.

"Yeah! Let's do it!"

"Then move!"

"I'll button it! Give me a signal! I'll siege at once!"

"Hah, yes!"

Seeing the opportunity for Alan's operation, Maria revived. Defeating Lion is Maria's goal in this battle. Believing it was a great time to do so, Maria decided to play.

A signal ordered by Maria. In the air, this was a real fireworks soar. Three fireworks just to scatter sparks.

Subsequently, the sound of the gun resounds around. It was heard from the position of the Grand Flam Kingdom Army.

Rion, who is leading the Wonderland Mercenary Corps, falls from the beast. Perhaps it was unavoidable due to a surprise hit from behind.

"Okay! I'll take it all at once! I'll surround you so that you won't escape!"

After seeing Leon being defeated, she gives her instructions with joy. He detained the SS as he moved, ordered other units, and moved to the siege of the Wonderland Mercenaries.

The soldiers of the kingdom of Grand Flam join the circle of siege.

◇◇◇

The events of the left wing caused the Grandflam kingdom to be in chaos. The Wonderland Mercenaries attacked at once, with the gap in the formation of the Empire disturbed. The imperial right wing is pushed in without stopping the offensive.

That's the moment. The first line of his army heard the sound of a gunshot, and some soldiers from the Wonderland Mercenaries tumbled off the monster. Apparently, one of them is Rion.

At that moment, Arnold's head turned white and he couldn't understand what had happened.

"……betrayal?"

Words leaked from Lambert's mouth. The same word appeared in Arnold's head, but he did not want to acknowledge it and stopped thinking.

"... Such an idiot"

The upset hasn't disappeared, but she can speak. It doesn't solve anything.

"A lot of soldiers will join Alexandros. Will it be 10,000?"

Soldiers jump out of many positions and head towards the front. I don't think it's support for the Wonderland Mercenaries. The remaining soldiers and the commander's voice of restraint indicate that it is not.

"Her Majesty, hurry, give me your orders! I'll betray the soldiers!"

"If you do that, the army will collapse. You don't know who has betrayed."

There is also a way to confuse the enemy by hearing the betrayal of your allies. If you're not sure who is your enemy or ally, it's just a matter of chaos.

"I understand that, but wouldn't you just abandon the mercenaries?"

"Do not abandon. Get ready to go. Head to the front!"

"... Huh"

I think it's dangerous to go to the front when you don't know who's betrayed, but that could lead to a collection. Lambert decided to bet on it.

The Knight Guards of the Grande Fram kingdom were ready to set out and set off on the front.

◇◇◇

Imperial soldiers surround the Wonderland Mercenaries. The number was increasing steadily over time. The betrayed Grand Flam soldier, and Lancelot, who knew he had the opportunity to defeat Leon, were sending troops from the left.

The Imperial Army is in a hurry to make the siege thicker so as not to escape. Thanks to that impatience, the siege net is about to be completed.

After that, just defeat Rion so as not to escape.

"I won't miss it anymore! I'll decide here!"

Rion is sitting on the ground after being shot by a gun. Maria shouts at Rion from a distance.

"Or do you surrender gracefully? If you swear to me, you can think!"

Maria is completely convinced of the victory. He seems to be unable to hide his pleasure, urging him to surrender.

"... You are an idiot !? I can't swear loyalty to an idiot woman like you!"

Rion uttered a mock toward Mary.

“What is it ??

Maria is angry at Rion's words, but she still can afford it. But it can easily disappear.

"As soon as possible, the sorting is over. Ten thousand places, less than I expected."

"……What's that?"

"Did you not hear me? I said that the sorting of the enemy and friend was over!" According to Marcus, 10,000 people have betrayed the Grand Flam Kingdom!

"... Did you know?"

Betrayal of Marcus Knight Corps leader. This is Maria's special trump card. It should have been a secret of secrecy, without letting the SS know.

"You're going to be hiding, but the betrayal isn't completely hidden. If you're betraying the Grand Flam Kingdom, are you a Great Alexandros empire?"

Maria was supposed to keep it secret, but Marcus's action was a betrayal. You can't keep secrets unless you tell anyone. If you want to keep it secret until the end, don't betray it until then.

"What's that just because I know it now! Anyway, you die here!"

"You are dying! Why do you think I waited to kill so far?"

"Wait!"

"Ah, yes! I could kill it anytime! I didn't do it because I thought you should kill it while a lot of people were watching! This is your execution place! The place of public execution ! "

They could have been killed using assassinations or other means. But Leon is not convinced by that. Only Maria wanted to kill with more suffering than Vincent.

From the top, the empress, to the bottom of the abyss. Desperate in your helplessness while many people are watching. This was Rion's means of revenge.

"Do you think you can kill me !? That's not stupid !?"

I do not die. Maria still has a completely groundless belief.

"Do you still think you're the protagonist?"

Rion asked a slightly more advanced question.

"It's not natural! I'm a hero summoned from another world!"

Maria, whose head is bloody, apparently did not notice the meaning in Rion's question. If so, Lion is fine. I don't really want to tell my identity.

"Even though you don't have the power to claim a hero! If you hit that much, try to compete with me one-on-one!"

"What's that!?"

"Are you a hero? If so, show your power!"

Rion who provokes Maria. I think this is the best way to remind Maria who is still brave about herself as a brave man.

"You don't regret it !?"

Nevertheless, Maria, who was on Rion's provocation, did not suddenly imitate the sword, but began to cast magic. This is the ultimate magical fusion among the magic possessed by Maria.

Maria, unlike Lion or Alice, does not deal with multi-attribute magic. It is a technique to create new attributes by fusing the magic of others.

Fire and wind magic is issued by members of the SS. It swirled above Mary's head, and-disappeared.

"eh!?"

A surprise voice leaks from Maria's mouth. The magic has failed.

"The brave is amazed to hear! Can't you handle magic !?"

A ridicule is heard from Rion's mouth.

"I don't mean! Look at it!"

It's pretty self-explanatory to just watch the magic to attack you, but Rion, as he said, did nothing and waited for her to end.

Maria is casting a water element magic and Maria's own attribute magic. But the results are similar. No magic was triggered.

"... Why? What's going on?"

In an emergency, Maria shouts in a hurry. Maria couldn't believe that she couldn't use magic, who should have been the best magician in the world.

"That's why you said it's stupid! 頼 Why can you handle the magic of water attributes before you rely on gunpowder and avoid water ?! The world isn't kind enough to help a hated opponent!"

"Lie……"

It is a lie. It is true that Maria is hated by the spirits, and that her magical power has declined significantly, but not because of gunpowder. He is remorseful that he destroyed nature for the purpose of calculating and manufacturing iron.

Further, in an attempt to attack Lion, loved by the spirits, the spirits refused to completely obey Mary, and this did not trigger any magic.

Rion is telling lies because of gunpowder to instill people with a refusal to use firearms.

"If you can't use magic, will you fight with a sword? I don't care."

“…………”

Can I win with a sword? Maria is thinking hard in her head. Maria was finally calm when she saw the few battles of Lion in mind. I just remembered how strong Rion was.

"Now is your chance! Shoot and kill!"

From Mary's mouth, an order was issued to her troops. The content was such that the soldiers could not immediately respond to the sneakyness.

"Go fast! I'll shoot and kill everyone!"

Again, Maria issues a command. Finally, the soldiers responded and began to move, but Leon could not miss this free time.

Dazzling flashes cut through the sky. At the same time, a thunder that shook to the back of the belly echoed around.

"……You must be kidding?"

When it subsides. Hundreds of Imperial army soldiers surrounding the Wonderland Mercenaries fell down on the ground and became immobile.

Maria does not know. In the east, Rion is known with awe in the name of Raijin. Its meaning.

"Don't be afraid! The enemies are only 2,000! Surround and attack all at once!"

Gil replaces the stunned Maria. There are 2,000 Wonderland mercenaries. The number of imperial forces surrounding it is increasing from 40,000.

Gil thought that no matter how strong the lion, it wouldn't be impossible to push it with the power of a number.

"No regrets! Release the limiters!"

Only Maria has understood the meaning of the term limiter in the order given by Rion in the Imperial Army. However, the meaning of the Wonderland Mercenary Corps will become apparent to other Imperial troops.

A muttering voice like a magic chanting resounds around. Each voice is small, but a thousand voices. Maria knew what she was muttering.

"... Be careful! I'm the trump card of the Bandhu Party!"

Maria once heard a similar chanting. It was advocated by Bandu leaders fighting the witches. Subsequent movements of the Band ド ゥ leaders were terrible, and they overwhelmed the demon that Maria couldn't defeat.

Now, in front of us, a thousand people are chanting. I can hardly imagine how much this would be.

"Woooooooooooooo! ! 』

The screams of the Wonderland Mercenaries tremble the imperial soldiers surrounding them. The moment the cry ceased, a thousand mercenaries flashed.
