A thousand members of the Black Cavalry Corps, led by Mercury, are successfully retrieving squatters and descending backwards. Naturally, the Empire is trying hard to forgive it. Standing in front of Mercury's units is a unit betraying the Grand Flam Kingdom. It formed in formation and confronted the Black Knight Corps.

"Don't let it go! I will endure anything here!"

It is Marcus Knight Corps leader who is flying hard at soldiers. Now that he has betrayed the Grand Flam Kingdom, he may be a former Knight Commander.

"You don't have to!" There are only 2,000 enemies! It's time to get tired!

Marcus is fighting for endurance. The right choice. Unlike the Imperial Army, which has plenty of troops, the Wonderland Mercenaries must always keep fighting.

There is no doubt that one day we will be exhausted and unable to fight. The problem, however, is that the premise that the Imperial Army will keep it has been established.

The first to break that premise suddenly appeared as if it had fallen from the sky. The beast-like, yet standing two-legged, morphs, jumping into the middle of the formation of Marcus's army, swooping down on nearby soldiers and rampaging wildly. After that, it jumps further and moves forward.

"... a monster?"

Marcus, who had joined the Genie campaign, has seen demons. However, I feel a little different from the demons Marcus knows. Anyway, strange people who don't know what they are.

But Marcus had to think ahead of surprise. Where did the strangers come from?

"Back! The Beast Unit is coming!"

"What, what !?"

By the time the soldiers warned Marcus looking back, the two black and red cavalry units had approached just behind the formation.

Marcus can't afford to order anything. The beast squad digs deep into the formation from behind, keeping the momentum running.

"Don't disturb the formation! No, let it in! Pass it through and resurround!"

As expected, he is a former Grand Fram Knight Corps leader. Rather than preventing the assault, Marcus chose to parry and bring it into the Imperial siege. Judging that even if 2,000 becomes 4,000, it does not matter much.

But the Wonderland Mercenaries weren't all this. Slightly after the Knight Corps, the Mobile Infantry, a man who could be called the Mobile Infantry, left, so it was just an infantry.

"Are you still there? I'll pick up the enemy behind!"

Once, the Imperial Army, which was conscious rearward, responded quickly. He formed a rearward formation to prepare for the enemy's assault, but the tornado attacked before the enemy infantry.

"... Aeriel!"

Just because you see it as Aeriel's magic doesn't mean you can stop it. The swirling powerful magic of the wind breaks through the formation of the Imperial Army just set.

"Reorganize the formation! Prepare for the enemy's assault!"

Marcus's command resounds. In response, the formation of the Imperial Army is also reshaping.

"Please endure! If you endure here, we will win!"

There is no basis. However, if broken, the siege will definitely be wasted. Marcus feels that this is where it stands.

"If you endure, you won't win. You can't endure before that."

"……What did you say?"

A suddenly hung voice. Marcus turned his gaze in the direction of the voice, and there was a Sol standing with his sword.

"Well, this may be the last knightly battle. Mr. Marcus, come and see us all the time."

"Is there a one-man fight yet ?! Let's defeat them! If you're Sol Aristes' head, the reward isn't cheap!"

Refusing to apply for a Sol duel, Marcus has ordered others to slay the Sol.

"I see. Traitors are stupid."

"What did you say!?"

"You didn't have any other options than a duel. It's better. Anyone is fine. You might get some praise from Leon."

A duel was the best option for Marcus. Because there are very few allies standing around Marcus.

You can't stop Mercury from being distracted from behind. The 10,000, led by Marcus, lost their fighting power at once in a disorganized fashion.

"... Stupid. Why is the hero losing !? The last victory is not the hero !?"

Marcus shouts words like Maria says. Originally a word from Maria. Marcus was betrayed by Mary and believing in Mary's words, Marcus had betrayed the Grand Flam Kingdom long before. She had been associated with Maria since she was still defeating the demon.

"Even so, the hero should have considered someone."

"……What did you say?"

"If coming from a different world is a testimony of a hero, there is another one who should be called a hero."

"... Sure, no way."

There is a limited number of opponents who are currently Sol. And if there is only one person who can be called a hero, there is only one. He is a man who has the power to be called a hero without knowing that he came from a different world.

When I knew it, it was not surprising, but convincing, that it spread to Marcus. Called a hero, he was the one who should bring glory to the kingdom of Granfram. Many people, including myself, must be in the way.

"I would refuse to be called a hero, though."

"... I guess."

"You are probably one of the victims. I don't feel sorry about that ... but it's useless?"

"Oh, that's right. I want to hear one. Who is the Guard now?

"... Fraud's guard, it is according to the Lord's command to be loyal."

I say this because I knew the answer Marcus wanted. Sol had to be Lion's Guard Knight.

"... I see. That's good.

"Hah. Then come!"

In the end, Sol and Marcus have a single duel. But I don't mean to beat Marcus. After discovering that his choice was wrong, Marcus wanted to return to the original Knight of the Grand Fulham Kingdom.

Of course, such a good story about insects cannot be tolerated. Marcus chose a clean good death. In the way of the knight of the guard knight who should have served.

Sol's sword flashes. Marcus slowly fell, sprinkling blood from his neck.

"... after this?"

Sol approaches Mercury as he approaches, and confirms the upcoming battle.

"We'll completely destroy this unit and break down the siege.

"Yes, I see. Then, let's button it all at once."

The lead Marcus has already been taken down. There should be no resilience to the betrayal unit from the Grand Flam Kingdom. Sol moved his troops for a siege.

◇◇◇

There was a fierce battle in the middle of the siege.

With Mercury's units separated, the force of the Wonderland Mercenary Corps was reduced to about a thousand. Maria saw this as an opportunity. That's the right decision.

Lead the 5,000 guarded SSs to attack the Wonderland Mercenaries. For Maria, the most advanced unit participated in the SS. Moreover, it is five times as many as the enemy. It should have been buttoned.

However, even the SS 5000 cannot defeat the Wonderland Mercenaries. Whether you try to defeat Rion or confront several people, it will be overwhelming.

"I can't get closer as it is! Do something with the fire magic!"

A fire dragon flying around Rion. As soon as you get close to Leon, it will attack you. In situations where the swords cannot be matched, the benefits of numbers cannot be used.

Command your ally to attack with water magic. However, the water magic doesn't work for Rion at all.

"Anything is fine! No, it's a simultaneous attack!"

So even if you launch a magical all-out attack, all the magic that exceeds it can be knocked down or scattered.

"Charge! Charge in order!"

If you don't use magic, even if you order sacrificial assault, you'll just make a sacrifice. Even in the fight with the sword, Rion could not compete.

"Keep on attacking anyway! I'll get tired someday!"

At the end it is innocent and just keeps attacking. But in the end, this is correct. As long as Rion is a person, he cannot fight forever.

From the attacking side, if you keep fighting enough magical power to think that it is infinite, someday it will break off.

So Maria should have taken this method earlier, without any tweaks. Before it appears.

"... has come?"

Seeing them suddenly appearing around Rion, the Imperial soldiers were solidified. Many of them were recruited after the empire was formed. I have never seen a monster.

Imperial soldiers who have seen them are amazed at their appearance. None of the demons they fought was the same. Not only that, at first glance, it turned out to be high class.

"... Beastman?"

Maria doesn't know the beast races in this world either. I know the beastmen as general knowledge of fantasy, and only the people in front of them overlap.

"... Are you a demon?"

The one who makes the monsters subordinate is a demon. With this logic, we come to this conclusion.

"I remember defeating the genie, but I didn't remember becoming a demon."

"... So why are such monsters following!"

"Did you call the beast race a monster? You have come to another world with such prejudice?"

At least in Ryo's knowledge, fewer novels write the beast race as evil. The beasts in front of you are far from Mofumofu, though they look wild.

"There are no beasts in this world!"

"... I'm in front of you?"

"... Majin. You were a majin !? You are my enemy to defeat!"

There is no doubt that he is an enemy to be defeated. Rion is much stronger than he wants to beat.

"Everyone!-Fight together!-Devil is our common enemy!-Human enemy!"

Maria has even called on members of the Wonderland Mercenaries to cooperate. That is not all. Even sending a messenger to the Grand Flam Kingdom.

Recognition of Leon as a demon seems to have revived his energy. This is the last battle I'm convinced. Naturally, the only ending in Maria's head is that the protagonist will win.

"……main"

Ross stands next to Rion. Rion always thinks why words can come out smoothly with this skeleton.

"Don't make such a miserable face ... are you doing it?

Ross is a werewolf. It has a wolf face. Rion couldn't know what the sad face of a wolf was.

"... I'm depressed. I've recovered a little now."

Ross's voice includes laughter. Thanks to Rion, my feelings have been a little relaxed.

"It's only now. From now on, I won't let anyone say that rudeness. I'll show you that kind of world."

"……Oh"

Many demons have been freed in this world, freed from the genie. Despite being free, the demon is an enemy of humans and a target of defeat. The only way to survive is to live quietly so that it is not visible. However, even if you do so, the existence will be suddenly barred, and a defeater will come.

Lions and the Wonderland Mercenaries were among those defeaters. The only difference between Rion and the others is that they knew they had intelligence and personality. As soon as we knew we were fighting to protect our lives, we stopped the fight.

Not only that, they also found new places to hide and live, and even helped them live. They serve Rion in return.

"It's time to settle! For this world!"

Maria is screaming again and again. I'm amazed because Rion feels like a demon and can win as soon as he thinks.

"If you can, defeat it!"

Rion also returns to Maria. It is Rion who wants to settle.

"Yes, I'll defeat it! That's my mission, the chosen hero!"

"What a hero! Even though he has no power!"

It is already unsatisfied to hear Maria's beliefs. This must be last.

"What ?! I'm a brave summoned from another world!"

"Looks great! In that other world, you're just an OL or a student!"

"What is it! I am! I am ... eh?"

Maria understood what Lyon was saying and what it meant. I understand, but I'm confused because I can't believe it.

"What if you understand it? The game is over! It's a bad end!"

The following words of Lion clearly reminded Maria. Rion is a summoner from the same other world.

"... Uh, you're a lie, are you a summoner?"

"The game is over! There's no protagonist correction !? And we're alive in this world !? Do you understand the meaning?"

"……What do you mean!?"

"You die! The world will not protect you who is no longer the hero!"

Grounds for Maria's confidence. Rion denied this clearly. No threat or anything. I just told the facts.

"... I die?"

"Oh, I'll kill you. Vincent's revenge isn't over yet."

With his excerpted sword hanging, Rion slowly approaches Maria. Nobody blocks it. Everyone is confused. Rion is also suddenly informed of the fact that he is from a different world, and has no idea what to believe.

"... Well, help someone, kill that man!"

Maria asks for help in a frightened voice, as if she wondered what she was up to. In response, members of the SS began to protect Mary.

"I'll give you a choice. You can choose to die as my enemy, or follow me and like the woman."

Rion has made a surprising proposal to the SS.

"……eh?"

"If you follow me, you will save your life. You can treat the woman as you like. Originally, it was your desire? If it was, then it would be good to fulfill it. Hold on to the woman until you get tired."

"... What are you talking about?"

"It's not limited to the SS! Someone has a grudge against this woman !? ど う What if I get rid of that grudge !? も な い There's nothing to fear! I'll forgive me, the winner of this battle That's it! "

"Don't say stupid things!"

When it came to grudges against soldiers, she was too memorable.

"Noisy. Be quiet."

As Rion's words end, ice rises from Mary's feet. Maria, unable to stand with her feet fixed on a lump of ice, fell on her back from the ground.

"I can't get away with this. It's a bit hard, but well, I'll put up with it."

"Let's stop! Please, Rion-kun! Help me! じ ゃ I'm not with you! Hey, I didn't want to fight you. On the contrary ..."

"I'll give you an option"

Intercepting Mary's words halfway, Rion spoke. Hearing her options, she has a vulgar smile on her face. If you can escape this situation, you will be willing to choose to be a slave to Lion.

"If you are loved as a brave, you can escape from here. Otherwise ... well, I wish you good luck."

Maria has no choice. The ones to choose are the soldiers who were used freely by Maria. Having told Mary this, Rion turned away from her.

No one wants to stop it. The surrounding soldiers have abandoned their weapons, demonstrating their lack of will. Some are kneeling.

Everyone had acknowledged. The winner of this battle is Rion.

"I didn't have a chance to work"

Ross complains back to Leon. He is lightly angry that the battle ended without returning to the beastman's form, but without showing his fighting power.

"There are plenty of opportunities in the future. Our real fight is just to come."

"... I see. I'll wait for that time."

"I'll do the rest for you, because that's what you want."

The Great Alexandros Empire's cavalry is running to where the Grand Fulham Army is located. Lancelot himself led the Guard Knights.

On the other hand, the cavalry jumped out of the position of the Grand Flam Kingdom. Arnold is at the forefront. The summit battle between King Grand Fulham and Emperor Great Alexandros begins as they wish.

An empty summit battle where no real winner is born.

Rion, who looked at it vaguely, seemed uninterested. I saw Aeriel and Alice approaching my gaze, and their faces shook.

The Battle of the Wonderland Mercenaries ended at this moment.
