Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite
Event: Hackerata Defense Battle
Hakata is the largest city in the southern part of the Grand Flam Kingdom. Hakkata, the starting point of the road that stretches to the south, is also the largest commercial city in the south, taking advantage of its geographical advantages.
Products from neighboring countries and from all parts of the southern part of the country always collect in Hakkata, from where they are transported to the center of the kingdom and other areas. The reverse is also true. Hakkata's trading post is a huge market that cannot be compared to that of Kamark.
Now, the hackata is surrounded by a warlike atmosphere that does not seem like a commercial city. Kingdom Knight Corps 3,000. It is because of the sudden appearance of this force. Democracy was reported upon the arrival of the troops, and the city of Haqata temporarily fell into considerable confusion. Hakata, a little further from the border, is a commercial city and is not much prepared for war. People can feel uneasy.
The confusion in the people has calmed down considerably after the fact that the Prince himself is on the line. It's not because he's safe to protect him, but because Prince Arnold asks him that he'll not be on a business trip to a dangerous battle.
Anyway, the residents of Hakatata are listening to the instructions of both the lord and Prince Arnold, and are staying at home in preparation for the demon attack. Moving around the city are kingdom knights or knights or soldiers of the army.
Eventually, the rush has disappeared. This is because the preparation for the demon invasion has been completed.
The defense of the city is concentrated at the south gate. It's Maria's opinion, and he knows that demons are moving from the border, the south.
In front of the South Gate, 3,000 members of the Royal Knights Corps are lined up in a line. It is a formation of 1,000 horses and 2,000 infantry. On the outer walls of the city, military soldiers are lined up with bows. In addition, inside the south gate, infantry troops are standing by.
The arrangement is completely determined that there will be no attack except for the south gate.
So, the headquarters were, like the soldiers of the army, sitting on top of the outer wall. Honjin is because Prince Arnold is there, and they are on the outer wall only to make it easier to attack with magic.
"... I won't come."
Before the monsters attacked, while the surroundings were engulfed by tension, the Guard Knight muttered. The commander of the Knights of the Guard took part in the battle. No matter how good Prince Arnold and the Marias are, they have no experience of fighting with the army. The Princes of Arnold only defeated monsters with their own abilities, and it was up to the commander of the Guard Knight to actually command the army.
"Scout information should be coming soon."
Prince Arnold replied to the commander of the Knights of the Guard. But this is a misunderstanding.
"No, not a demon."
"... I see."
Prince Arnold wanted to join Bandu in the war. The request is actually made under the name of Prince Arnold, although this is actually a result of the speculation of others.
The Bandhu army had not yet appeared at this location.
"Is there anything?"
"At first glance, he was leaving very late, probably because of that."
Prince Arnold did not want to consider his request denied. If so, you will have to punish for that. Indeed, it doesn't even want Prince Arnold.
"Hmm. But does that make that mistake?"
Because he was late. Then it's just late. The Knights of the Guard did not believe that Leon would make such a stupid mistake.
"... I'll see why later. I'm fighting with demons now."
"I came!"
The voice of a soldier on the outer wall overlaps Prince Arnold's words. It was not Bandou's army. A black shadow extends beyond the plain that extends to the south. The demon is approaching.
"... Frederic?"
In an unbelievable situation, Prince Arnold involuntarily called the commander of the Knight Guard.
"50,000, no, 80,000 .... Demons and monsters are so different in shape that they are hard to count."
Even from a distance, you can see that there is not one kind of monster that appeared. That means that there are also huge monsters.
"Maria, what is that?"
"I'm too far away to know what a monster is. But ..."
"But what?"
"I didn't think there were so many demons."
"What is it ?? Is it okay?"
Believing in Mary's story, I was preparing. If that were not the case, Prince Arnold was worried whether the fight would be okay.
"Of course, you can win, but maybe you should fight a little carefully. Anyway, it's better to see what kind of monsters have appeared."
If you know what kind of demon, you will know the weak points. Then think about how to fight. Maria doesn't even think about the possibility of losing.
"Well, wait?"
This question is addressed to the commander of the Guard Knights. In response, the commander of the Knights sent a signal to the underlying Knights to wait.
The appearance of the demon gradually becomes apparent. Goblins are by far the largest, but not the only one. A swarm of orcs behind. Behind it, you can see several monsters that have a distinctly different atmosphere from other monsters.
"... Ogre?
Maria's voice is clearly upset. Also, something unexpected happened.
"What happened?"
"... There's a stronger monster than I thought. It's an ogre, or simply a demon."
"Oni?"
People in this world cannot understand the existence of demons.
"Anyway, strong"
"... Is it okay?"
Prince Arnold is not timid. If you lose, people living in this city will be attacked by demons. I'm afraid of it.
"It's okay. You can weaken it with magic as much as possible. Your opponent can't use magic."
"I see. I'm still waiting until I get closer."
Magic also has a range. In fact, it's short. Because of that, it is overwhelmingly advantageous to be able to use magic in individual battles, but not always in war.
As long as the numbers are the same, even a catapult or a barista can sufficiently compete.
The range is also related to why Prince Arnold is on the outer wall. It was to be able to attack from a high place even a little farther by casting magic.
Princes Arnold have been waiting for the hordes of monsters to enter their range. However, at that time he never came.
He stopped approaching where the hordes of demons were.
"... I won't come near."
"Yes. It's as if you know the magic range."
"Is it wrong to judge by appearance? What do you do?"
"Waiting. Attacking from here is an adventure."
"Yes."
Even the commander of the Guard Knight has no experience of fighting monsters. Only Mary could be relied on. Apparently Mary's calculations are also crazy. If so, you have to proceed carefully. Prince Arnold's top priority is to protect the city of Haqata. If you don't attack, that's fine.
But there's a reason monsters can't attack. There Prince Prince Arnold did not think. I didn't think at this point that the demons were thinking and moving so far.
It was Rion who appeared late.
With Lion at the head, hundreds of cavalry in three-colored armor came in front of the Royal Knights, which set in front of the South Gate.
"The Band ド ゥ territory? It's a very fancy armor."
"Ah. That's right. Bandu parties are divided into four-color parties, each fighting with their own party colors."
This is the first time I've seen it, just remembering the commander of the Knights who explained this.
"But three hundred?"
The number of participants is extremely small. Prince Arnold thought so too.
"But what are you doing?"
Rion and the commander of the Knights' Corps are doing something, but from the top of the outer wall, they can't hear what they're talking about. At best, I can see that I'm rubbing something.
Eventually, while talking to the commander, Leon seemed unconvincing, and approached just below where Prince Arnold was.
Lion, looking up from below, and Prince Arnold's eyes met.
"The monster in front is perturbing! Send relief to nearby villages immediately!"
Rion's reverberating voice conveyed surprising content. Prince Arnold has no idea how to answer.
"Which village is being attacked?"
On behalf of Prince Arnold, the commander of the Knights of the Guards returned.
"I don't know the name of the village! It's not one place! Three villages have been attacked in the east!"
"... what is it?"
Despite the fact that the population is much smaller than Hackerata, it still costs money. The humiliation of a monster, etc., has been gushing out in the chest of the Knight of the Guard.
"Our territory alone is not enough! A rescue squad is ready!"
Once again, Leon has requested a rescue unit. However, this cannot be answered immediately. There are demons in front of you that can drop the city of Haqata.
"I can't do it right away! First, defeat the monster in front of you!"
In addition, the commander of the Guard Knight replied. This is due to the belief that Prince Arnold cannot be told.
"Then, attack quickly! Can you defeat the monster just by standing?"
Finally, Rion seems to have run out and has forgotten honorifics.
"I'm waiting for you to come closer! The magic hasn't arrived from here!"
"Hah !? Still a legendary hero and his friends !? If not, let me know!"
"Your mouth is over! This idiot!"
And the commander of the Guard Knight runs out. At first, there is a thought that if you do not shout here, it will affect the morale of the surrounding people.
"It's good! I'm there to be silent! I'll be silent and look there!"
Rion's answer is completely unbearable. He showed his attitude that it would be useless to speak any further and moved away from the outer wall.
"What are you going to do?"
Rion is more concerned about what Rion is going to do than angry. It's the same with those around you.
Rion leaves the outer wall and lets the horse run towards the horde of demons. Airiel joined Rion. Even later, Bandu's equestrian horses follow.
I know what I'm doing. I know, those who watched couldn't believe it. There are only three hundred Bandu troops. So fight against tens of thousands of demons.
Rion and Eriel are running ahead. The Band ド ゥ territory is also afraid. I'm afraid, but they have to follow as they go ahead.
The distance between Rion and the monsters has shrunk considerably. Appearing there were two birds.
"... Phoenix?"
Prince Arnold thought that it was the highest class of magic to be passed on to the royal family of Franchram, but was soon denied.
"I haven't heard of the phoenix of the wind."
Two birds appear. Fire and wind, the magic that Rion and Aeriel gave, respectively. The two phoenixes fly in the air faster than the equestrian horses and eventually swirl together.
The moment it thought it had swallowed some of the demons, it exploded. Many monsters are blown away by the blast and are flying in the air.
A space created by a horde of demons. Rion entered without hesitation. The Bandeau army equestrian follows.
What remained was Kazuki. Airiel alone. Airiel's arms are extended into the air.
The light illuminated in front of Aeriel's hands glows steadily and eventually becomes a large ball of light. As Ariel waved her arms forward, the ball of light turned into a tornado, overtaking Lions and attacking a herd of demons from the air.
Entangled in a tornado, several monsters are wound up in the air. As the tornado progressed, Rion's equestrian chased and plunged further into the hordes of demons. You can see many red and blue lights flying around it.
The shock of Prince Prince Arnold and the members of the Royal Knights Corps, seen below, are stunned and solidified. It was, in a way, more shocking than when a horde of demons appeared.
But this is not the end. The battle is yet to come, not Lions who just allow to see it. In this case, it is Airiel.
"Knights of the kingdom!"
Aeriel, who has returned from the front line, is speaking in front of the Knights of the Kingdom. A transparent voice echoes around.
"What is your chest emblem?"
The coat of arms is drawn on the chest of the armor of the Kingdom Knight. A symbol of the Knights of the Kingdom, showing courage and loyalty.
"What is your sword for?"
The knights also knew what Ariel wanted to say.
"Who is your shield to protect?"
My shield is to protect the kingdom and everyone who lives in it. This is an oath that every knight knows.
"Why don't you fight ?! There is an enemy in front of you and a guardian on its back!"
Airiel's words resonate with the knight's, soldier's, chest. Strong denial came to the hearts of many. I'm not afraid of monsters, I just don't get directions.
"Knights of the Kingdom Knights, soldiers! 騎 It's time to show your courage! 時 It's time to show that valor! に To me!
As she shouts, Aeriel turns the horse to the front line where the demons are. In that state, Aeriel looked back at the Knight Corps and threw her arms into the air.
"Please! Follow me!"
"Woooooooooo!"
A scream of the Royal Knights resounded around. Knights' cavalry chase after Airiel, who pushes the horse to the front with the screaming on his back.
"Split the cavalry squad into two hands! One squad to me! One squad under the command of the Knights of the Guard!"
The command of Prince Arnold resounded there. Prince Arnold, descending from the outer wall, lines up next to Aeriel.
"As expected, riding on a horse is too crazy. Leave it to me."
"... are you fine?"
"The magic is suspicious, but the horse and the sword are above me."
"... I'll leave it to you."
"Oh, I was entrusted."
"Arrange the platoon! It's a tandem! 更 に Open the gap created by Bandu's troops!"
Commander Knight, descending from the outer wall with Prince Arnold, has already instructed the cavalry under him. As it was, we ran ahead and headed for the front. After that, Prince Arnold also follows.
On that front.
"Aperol! Open more gaps!"
"... I'm doing it! I'm doing it, but there are too many!"
"Mojito! That's right! Hold down both sides! We can't move on with this!"
"I'm doing it! But!"
The Band ド ゥ s troops jumped into the open space, but there were so many monsters that they had been killed along the way.
"Expand even if you can't do it once! Cassis! Reverse and re-enter!"
"Hah!"
"Both wings! Spread it!"
"Uori aa aa aa!" "Push! Push back!"
The left and right yellow and green parties forcibly push back the monsters. Using the resulting gap, Rion and the subsequent Red Party once retreat. From there, he gained momentum and entered again.
"Proceed! Don't stop the momentum! Advance!"
Rion, who is at the forefront, kicks monsters in front while flying hard around. Monsters burning around Rion, monsters whose necks and arms are cut off, such as those of the Bandu Six Party, which boasts a martial art, are trembling.
"I'm in the way!
Rion is aiming for the innermost of a group of demons. It has a strong magical power. Rion thinks that it is the man who controls the demon.
As if to prove it, the demons seem desperate and stand in front of Rion. Aside from your own will or being manipulated, there is something to protect ahead of you.
"Hmm?"
Rion felt the monster's pressure relaxed slightly. Looking for the cause, a monster that is a little far away is turning his back. To push back new enemies that are ahead.
"... After all, that father is a monster."
The leader is the Knights of the Guard. Even if his face is hidden by his helmet, Leon knows it. Despite the large number of horses, the commander of the Knights of the Guards, who had pushed all the way to the back only with swords without using magic, was amazed in this situation.
"Well, I was saved in this case.
With the command of the Knights of the Guard, the consciousness of the demon has been dispersed. We cannot afford to miss that gap.
"Cassis! Aperol! Mojito! Is your power inferior to that of the old man! Is this a Bandu warrior?"
A really easy-to-understand provocation. But this provocation was, quite simply, first taken by Aperol.
"Who loses? I'll show my power now!"
With this feeling, Aperol gets excited and slaughters the demon with more work than before. In this case, even if Cassis and Mojito are known to be provocative, it cannot be excluded from riding. Above all, they could not afford to lose to Aperol.
Bandu's army's momentum grew rapidly, and with it he could go deeper.
Another flow is born there. Prince Arnold, with a slight delay, led his cavalry squad and pushed all the way back.
The invasion from three places at the same time, apparently upset by a swarm of demons. It also shows the upset of the man who controls the demon.
"The kid! ど こ Where is your goal! How far should you go?"
The commander of the Guard Knight has asked a question. It must have become really spicy.
"The purpose is ... the purpose has been fulfilled! Hold on for a while!"
"What, what!"
"The flag stood! The enemy general must have taken down!"
The end of a horde of monsters that were thrusting. A blue flag stands in front of it. Although it is unknown to the commander of the Knights of the Guard, it is the flag of the Bandu territory and the Blue Party.
It is a signal that we have decided in advance, and how to fight. Lions try to break through from the front. It was good to slay the enemy, and the Hundred Horses of the Blue Party were circumventing the battlefield and turning behind, in case it was not fulfilled. To defeat those who are manipulating demons while being distracted from the front.
It's a pretty drastic measure, as its existence could be a tremendous strong man, but Leon didn't think he would use it.
He thought that if the main character, Maria and his friends, and the Knights of the Knights were there, they would have enough time to kick off monsters. It was Rion who knew that this world was a game.
As a result, thanks to Rion who knew it but didn't get out of the way, the hordes of demons escaped in pieces.
There is no room for the kingdom to follow it. Priority was given to rescuing the surrounding villages being attacked.
The game event has come to an end. But the result was slightly different from the game.
