Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

In the early morning city of Kamark, a deafening bell sounds. A bell that sounds an emergency. This is not intended to be heard by the residents of Kamark, but rather to inform the entire territory of Band ド ゥ. The bell has been heard in the surrounding villages after receiving the bell of Kamark.

It's not just the bell that signals an emergency. From the lookout on the outer wall of Kamark, there is smoke. This smoke should also spread throughout Band ド ゥ.

In fact, from the observatory of the castle, you can see some smoke rising in the sky.

"……how's it going?"

Rion muttered while staring far away.

`` East, west, north and south, all confirm monsters ''

Rion's question was answered by Bravod, a black party who was behind him. Rion asked because he felt that sign.

"Do you intend to block the border ...? How many?"

"Each 10,000 to 20,000. To the extent that it can be confirmed visually."

"... If you're going to keep it here, are you in the mountains?"

Band ド ゥ is a land surrounded by mountains. However, there are several roads in the mountains. It is a backstreet that is deserted and deserted, so as not to be known to outsiders.

"Survey?"

"... What is the enemy's movement?"

"To Kamark, but the march is slow."

"It's a blockade. Should you think you're in the mountains too? No need to investigate. You don't have to jump into a waiting area."

"Hah"

"... Mercury. For the troops who are back now, let's go to the fort of Yusi."

"Hah!"

Along with dispatching the Black Party to scouts, he had ordered the guards to evacuate the residents of the surrounding villages. One of the units returned, and was visible from the observatory.

"Seven, eight hundred thousand, double or triple, if you include hiding in the mountains. But how ..."

Rion has never heard of such a battle where such monsters appeared. Even better, how did you send this many demons? You will need hundreds of transfer magic circles.

"... Please don't listen to such an event. That stupid girl!"

Rion's anger, which had been standing still, exploded here. Rion believes that this is an important event in the game, such as a battle where monsters gather. That Maria was hiding it.

"Rion, now I can't help complaining."

"……Oh"

"Do you do what you can?"

"... Yes, just do what you can. Bravod, monitor the demons and check the evacuation of the inhabitants. If you can reach Kamark, that's fine.

"What if the fort was attacked?"

"... I can't stand until I go to help."

"End"

Finally, leaving a letter, Bravod disappeared from the scene. He returned to his command.

"Sol!"

"Hah!"

"I want you to work."

"I've acknowledged!"

"Request the former Knights' Corps to cooperate. Use them as a commander to organize the volunteers of the inhabitants. Leave Kamark's defense for a while."

"Hah !?"

At Lion's request, it was a good job to take off, but it was a ridiculously important task.

"Until I return"

"... What about Leon?"

"Did you hear? I'm going to rescue the late fleeing people."

"Are you serious? ..."

Sol's words to Bravod were interpreted by Sol as a means to keep the scholars up and running. Sol does not yet understand Rion. It may be more correct to say that you are captured by common sense.

"Do you think people can feel safe in the makeshift words? If so, it makes the people ridiculous."

But it is also true that makeshift words are rampant in emergencies. Sol, a soldier, understands the need.

"……It is dangerous"

"If I'm in a safe place and things get better, I won't do this."

"... but even if Rion doesn't move himself"

"What do you think of me? I'm Lord Bandu. Who doesn't move and who else moves? And I don't say I can do things I can't do. Mercury!"

Rounding up with Sol, Rion calls Mercury's name. There is no time to talk now.

"Hah!"

"Preparing to sortie to all members of the Guard Corps!

"Hah!"

"Kronos! Prepare to defend Kamark! だ It is a first-class situation! 許可 Allow the release of all weapons!"

"Huh! Immediately!"

"Ales! Terrace! Let the command of the guards while I'm away! If the villagers' guidance ends, take on Kamark's defense mission!"

"Ha!" "Ha!"

The men who were instructed by Rion start moving one after another. Eventually, the entire castle is ready for battle, and it spreads throughout Kamark.

A few hours later. On the outer wall of Kamark, who was completely in combat mode, Sol was watching a swarm of monsters approaching. The number, about 50,000. That's a quarter or less of the total number of demons expected.

Still, the 50,000 large troops approaching the plains in black are threatening more than enough to see.

"I'm ready"

Kronos was calling from the side. I don't know Sol, but Kronos is the son of Aperol of the Yellow Party.

"still early"

"However……"

"Calm down. With all this preparation, it won't fall off so easily. Well, well, well, I've been prepared so far."

Sol learned of the meaning of Leon's instructions to Kronos in preparation for the battle. When I knew it, Sol was amazed in this situation.

Sol was told that there were many buildings between the outer and inner walls, warehouses rented to merchants visiting the city, and buildings on the post, but that was a big lie.

Buildings that are being destroyed one after another at the direction of Kronos, who was ordered to prepare for battle. Among them emerged a number of catapults, long-range weapons such as baristas, and a large pile of stones and bows used for them.

That is not all. There are also mountains of small dreads, all of which were distributed to the inhabitants. It's ridiculous if you think you've asked the people to help with a monster opponent who might have more than a hundred thousand. The inhabitants follow the combat arrangement in crisp movements, like trained soldiers. It was not a voluntary movement. He is actually a volunteer, but he seems to have been trained to the extent that he does not think so.

Rion was doing what she wanted to do, even though she hated involving others.

Doing what he can, Sol knew, was not just about being prepared when things happened, but showing his daily accumulation. One more thing, I learned from Leon.

"Preparing for rocking!"

Sole raises his right hand and raises his command, thinking that the monster is finally in range.

A responding voice came from inside the wall.

"... release it!"

Arms swung down at once. One beat later, stones of various sizes, falling outside the walls of Kamark, descended on a group of demons.

"Next! Shoot!"

The Kamark Defense Battle is a fierce battle that will be handed down in later times. It started with the command of Sol.

◇◇◇

Abandoned castle near the royal capital, far from Bandhu. A fierce battle was also taking place in this place, which was the battlefield for the demon. However, it is quite different from what was initially thought of the battle.

20,000 attack forces on the Grand Flam Kingdom side. Before that, there were only two evil men standing.

"Maria! How can I beat that !?"

"I want to hear that! Why can't I fall !?"

Maria has already forgotten to care about her eyes, and she is in a reverse state.

"No !! Pull it once! Go down!"

In the voice of Prince Arnold, those who were fighting went down all at once. The two witches are just looking silently. There is nothing to follow. After a while, it will be retracted behind the door that goes to the back.

It has been repeated many times.

The Grand Fulham Royal Army carefully prepared for the siege and rushed to the abandoned castle, but when the attack began, there was no counterattack from the demon. He warned that it was a trap, but he proceeded with caution and caution, but no matter how far he went, no monsters could be seen, rather than counterattacks.

Without knowing what was going on, the enemy finally appeared in front of the Royal Army of the Grand Fram who was traveling underground, and the former intelligence chief, the witch Golan, and the same four heavenly kings who called himself the poison Baron There were two people.

But they are extraordinarily strong.

First of all, Golan does not pass the sword at all, as was the case with the Royal Castle. In addition, there is an unchanted weapon called iron magic. The average knight had no blade and just piled up his corpse.

And the other Baron is worse. He is poison as he claims. Moreover, a terrible poison that stuns or dies as soon as you approach a certain distance. Knights and soldiers approached without knowing would build a pile of dead bodies without doing anything.

In such a situation, Maria finally came out with only a real appearance. Originally, there are two opponents. It would be wrong to fight as an army, but 20,000 would have been slow to respond.

Thousands of troops go down the road from underground to underground. Again, this is a misjudgment left until such a situation.

Anyway, it seemed that Maria and the fighting on the front line would finally settle the demon, but it has been a month since then. It's a month of fighting between the army, not the army, but a few. It is beyond common sense.

The cause is that ultimate magic fusion, which is the trump card, does not work. It doesn't mean it doesn't work at all. It has magical effects, but can't do any fatal damage.

The weak point of iron golan is the high heat that melts its hard body. It has been proven at the Royal Castle. However, if you can not stop even if you attack with magic, the temperature will eventually fall and regain the original hardness. That is being repeated endlessly in January.

Another baron has its weaknesses. Freeze the body to remove the threat of poison before attacking. This has been repeated many times. However, when he tried to freeze Baron and launch an attack, Golan came in the way from the side and could not fulfill it.

That's January. After fighting, we decided to take a break. And again, fighting every day.

In the meantime, 20,000 large armies have been launched, including 20,000 and the defense of the Imperial City, and only five Marias are actually fighting.

Under the influence of this situation, the tension of decisive battle with the genie has diminished considerably, and the entire military has a feeling of fighting. Some say that they should actually start again. Some say they should come back or call Viscount Frey if not.

As Maria, she is already more shy than impatient. You know that you're totally a clown.

If you don't like it, you can just beat the demon, but you can't. It is Golan that should be defeated. Baron is not a threat if only Golan is defeated. However, there was no way to beat Golan.

Today is the same as before. When people around me thought that the same day was over, the first change in a month appeared. Emergent information was brought to the front line.

"Bravod !? Why is the Lord here !?"

Mojito made a surprise voice. Before that, Bravod, who had been ragged, crouched. Hearing the voices, Bandu's troops gather.

"... What happened? What was this injury?"

Even if you don't listen, you can see that something bad happened in Bravod. Cassis's voice asking for details was already shaking a bit.

"... Bandou has a monster. The number is ... 300,000"

"I'm stupid ..."

Bandis, including Cassis, loses voice in information far beyond expectations. And, of course, it's not just the Bandhus who are surprised.

Amidst the surrounding noise, it was Prince Arnold who had returned from the battlefield.

"When is that information?"

"two weeks ago"

"Really……"

Bravod replied, but given the distance to Bandhu, two weeks is unusually fast. But this is not the time to pursue this.

"What is the current state of the war? I can imagine.

"... I don't know, but the Lord asked for help. That might be a judgment that it would be too close to protect alone."

It is probably the first time for Bandou to hear Bravod's voice. It even reminds me of Bandu's face.

`` Let Bandu's troops return home ''

Cassis asks Prince Arnold for permission to leave. But this is unreasonable.

"What happens only to Bandu's territory?-300,000 monsters?"

"However……"

"Anyway, immediately send a messenger to the royal capital! General commander!

300,000 demons. Prince Arnold has no idea how much force he will need to defeat him.

"If the 30,000 assigned to the defense of the capital is surplus, it is surplus, but it can not be moved."

30,000 who went to defense is waiting just this month. This does not mean that the defense of the royal capital can be relaxed. If you allow the demon invasion, you will be as disastrous as or even worse than Bandou.

"In other words, can't I get reinforcements?"

"One hand is to go to Bandhu with this army while maintaining the defense of the royal capital. The capture is completely stagnant. Once you stop the attack, there are still many people."

"Do you have the hand?"

"The number is 20,000, but if there are the Crown Prince and the princes, can we fight 300,000 demons?"

The overwhelming magic of Prince Arnold. Its power in fighting monsters has been proven in previous battles. In addition, Bandu has Lion. With Rion, even enemies more than ten times should be able to do something.

"... Wait a minute? How many troops are there in Bandhu?"

The situation where Rion asks for help. Prince Arnold worried about what it was like.

"At the beginning of the war, the territory and volunteers combined were about 2,000."

"... That's 2,000, and you want to deal with 300,000?"

"All four borders have been closed off. From there, the refugees evacuate to Kamark in a way that will drive them in.

The demons that attacked Bandu were also in control. The lions who have worked hard and helped out of each village have become a hostage that binds Lion to Kamark.

"... I see. Let's go up to the ground for the time being. As soon as we get permission from the royal capital, we will head to Bandhu."

"No!"

In this situation, some rejected Prince Arnold's words. Maria.

"... What's wrong? Did you hear the story?"

"When will we arrive at Bandou from now?"

"Is it too late to say that you want to release it ?! Do not playfully!"

The anger of Prince Arnold exploded toward Maria.

"That's different."

Maria's face is pale. Maria is the first to be shouted at by Prince Arnold. The only one who has ever seen a bellowing figure is Lumbard, who has been on his side since childhood.

"What's different !? Why were you silent on the assault on Bandeau in the first place?"

"No! I didn't hide it! I don't even know that monsters appear in Bandou!"

Despite being scared by Prince Arnold's sword, Maria desperately denies. Otherwise, they are going to be killed. In fact, if you know and hide it, you can be killed. Although not officially recognized, Rion is a royal. It is impossible to keep alive those who aim for life while knowing it.

"So why bother me?"

"No! Please! Listen to me! There is a way to help him without going to Bandhu!"

"……What did you say?"

Help Lion, if this is the case, it is worth hearing Maria's story. Prince Arnold once stopped yelling at Mary.

"We are the home of the evil spirits. If we defeat the evil spirits, the monsters will lose control. They will have no desire to fight and will leave. Arnold, many times before You saw that place, right? "

When Prince Arnold was willing to listen, Maria uttered her words. It is not new. As Maria said, Prince Arnold also knows.

But in this case, it is certainly important.

"If you drop your home base, will Bandou's demons break up ..."

"That's right! So we must not leave this place!"

Maria was relieved to see the convinced atmosphere of Prince Arnold. But there are those who are not convinced by this. Charlotte.

"How are you going to defeat us? We're fighting those monsters for a month?"

"that is……"

The situation did not solve anything. If the demon can be defeated, nothing has happened in the first place. Because they can't do that, the assault army is still here and Bandou is under threat.

"I just need to defeat the demon. Is that sure?"

"eh?"

It was Cassis that asked the question. Maria is puzzled by a surprising questioner.

"Are you listening? If you defeat the evil spirit, will Bandhu be saved?"

"Well, that's the end of the defeat, and the world will be saved."

"I don't care about the world. What I'm asking is how Bandu is saved.

"... Bandu is part of the world, so I'll be saved."

"I have to beat it."

"Can you do it?"

"I can't do it, I don't do it.

"Don't say that easily."

I can't say it easily. The weight of the word, yes, is also learned from Casion and his colleagues. Maria doesn't know what it means to fire now. Not only Maria, but also Prince Arnold and others.

It is the same bandeaus who know the meaning of the word Cassis. And they decided too. When you defeat the witch yourself. At the end of the battle with the genie, surprising characters came to the forefront.
