Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

A war was taking place in the southeastern continent, one or two feet earlier, with a new upheaval in the Grand Flam Kingdom. The battle between the Kingdom of the United States and some small nations east of it, the Eastern Union.

It was the kingdom of the United States that attempted eastern peace before the decisive battle with the kingdom of Granfram, but it has not progressed as expected. The response of the Eastern Union was more than expected.

In the early game, the Merika Royal Army took advantage of the battle and defeated the two nations located on the western edge of the Eastern Coalition, but that was the end of the fast assault. Furthermore, when he attacked the neighboring country of El Test Kingdom, he received a fierce counterattack and suffered a defeat. One-tenth of his army was defeated by his opponent, and he retired.

And that didn't stop there. After restructuring and changing course to invade another nation, the Royal Army of the Merica was unable to break through the line of defense built by the Allies of the Eastern Nations, and could not go one step further. On the contrary, the counterattack only adds to the damage.

In response to this situation, the Kingdom of the United States made a big decision. To remedy the situation, he recruited a considerable number of troops located on the border of the Grand Fulham Kingdom and formed a reinforcement army with Princess Olivia as his general.

Analysis suggests that the kingdom cannot afford to attack the country and that the war with the Eastern Union may end with a defeat.

After the eastern settlement, the southern part is next. And the last thing you want to do is fight the Grand Flam Kingdom for continental hegemony. The Merika Kingdom could not stumble here.

Strengthen troops and break through the defense line of the Eastern Union. If the line of defense collapses, the Eastern Union has no power to stop the invasion. It was such an idea.

But things didn't go as expected in the Kingdom of Merica. At risk, he doubles his troops by transferring considerable troops and invading the goddess Olivia, the war goddess.

The cause is the army of the kingdom of Ertest, the oldest but the smallest country in the Eastern Union. Moreover, it was not a regular army, but a mercenary corps hired for money.

--A member of the Eastern Nations, a unit of the Merika Kingdom Army is marching along a mountain road near the royal capital of the Kingdom of Iria.

"Don't relax your surroundings! Don't disturb the platoon!"

The commander in command of the unit is shouting and giving directions. They are watching for enemy surprise.

The Eastern Union has chosen a suitable place to defend, and has solidified it. On the contrary, the Kingdom of Merica used its overwhelmingly large number of troops to attack its defensive bases, and at the same time sent out troops to find a poorly protected invasion path and attack its neighbors.

But it was a trap of the Eastern Union. Firefighters and falling rocks all over the seemingly unprotected invasion tract led to many surprises, increasing sacrifice and forcing them to withdraw.

Still, the advantage of numbers is not lost. The United Kingdom decided to regroup and re-invade. Abandon the defensive bases and reduce the number of troops needed to enclose the Eastern Allies to the point where they cannot move. The plan is to send the surplus to the invasion forces and increase the number of troops invading at the same time.

As the number increases, the Eastern Union will not be able to respond to all invading units. Since the concentration of troops at the defense bases means that each nation's defenses are supposed to be negligible, it can be said that a few troops can break through and the country can be sufficiently dropped.

The operation was successful, and the invasion has progressed so far without any surprises. If you pass through this place, the capital of the Kingdom of Ilia is near. It should have finally been a clue to drop the third country.

The first person to notice the anomaly was a soldier. Suddenly the sun goes down and the area gets dark. Looking up at the sky casually, the soldier saw a massive mass approaching overhead, illusioning that the cliff itself had fallen.

A shout that doesn't sound. The surrounding soldiers also noticed and tried to escape, but it was already too late.

The falling rock mass shakes the ground, and a terrible impact sound resounds around. At the same time, there was heavy smoke that made it difficult to breathe.

--When it subsided, the soldiers who escaped being crushed saw two piles of earth and sand piled up like a hill completely blocking the highway, and two men and women standing on top of it.

A breathtakingly beautiful girl dressed like a gothic loli, and a grayish-grey-haired man dressed in solid black armor and covered with cloth under his eyes. As soon as they saw them, the soldiers were more agitated than when the earth and sand fell.

The soldiers know. The two men are Alice and White Rabbit, two of the mercenaries who have now become the most enemies of the Merika Kingdom Army, and the worst of the Wonderland Mercenaries.

But no one calls them by this name.

"... the evil king"

"It's an ice-blooded doll princess!"

"It's a demon oh!"

Different street names are shouting here and there. All of them are just names that I don't think are human. In fact, their power is more than ordinary people.

Alice swings her arms straight above her head. Cold air blowing from the ends of both hands pours down on the soldiers standing in front and freezes their bodies. The soldiers who escaped rejoiced at their fortunes and fled their backs all at once to avoid wasting their fortunes.

When he sees it, he runs down the slope of earth and sand towards the soldiers on the other side. Four colors of light floating around it.

"... Sarah, Luffy. Go."

The red and green lights come out and change their appearance. The fire dragon and the wind dragon, which split into several parts, attacked the swiftly-armed Royal Army.

Explosive sounds that echo in rapid succession. The formation of the newly formed Merika Kingdom quickly became shredded. A man who pulls a sword pierces the hole of the formation. The waving sword never stops, and surrenders the soldiers of the Kingdom of Merica one after another.

The soldiers have lost their will to fight and are running away. A soldier trying to escape, showing his back, came out, and as if measuring the moment, a monster unit straddling a jet-black unicorn appeared from behind.

"This is the Black Knight Corps!

In addition, a shout of terrifying shouts from the Royal Army of the United States.

A monster called a jet-black unicorn in the same black armor as a man. The Wonderland Mercenary Corps cavalry unit is called the Black Cavalry Corps.

The cavalry jumps out of the Kingdom of the United States for the intercept, but it has no teeth against the elite black cavalry Corps among the elite mercenaries in Wonderland. In a short period of time, he lost his fighting power completely.

And that's not just about cavalry. Soldiers of the Kingdom of the United States, who had lost their place of escape between the front and back, lost their will to fight, and surrendered one after another.

"finished?"

Alice came down the slope and approached the man.

"The battle. What's that?"

"It's over. I ran away almost without fighting."

"... Did you escape, not escape? I want to reduce the number of enemies alone.

One of the objectives of this operation is to defeat the enemy as much as possible in order to reduce the power difference.

"Why did I fight alone? I was tired."

Alice makes an excuse, even though she is staring at the man, without any signs of being offended.

"You're tired ... aren't you a person? Why is the world so tired and why does the world move?"

Needless to say, Alice is the name given to Rion in the world of a girl. And the pseudonym of the opponent Rion is White Rabbit. It was named Alice. Rion rarely claims to be White Rabbit. I don't like it.

"When I get tired, I get tired. And now I'm not the world."

"I don't know.

"You're working too much. This worker holic"

"... what is it?"

I can imagine it's a word from another world, but Rion doesn't know the meaning.

"Work addiction. Don't listen to the words in your head."

Alice owns a significant portion of Rion's memory. That's why I know the words of another world.

"……I do not remember"

"I can't search because I don't remember ... I can't help explaining this. I just work too much."

"Till this is over. If you accomplish this job, you will not be able to live without working, but you will have the luxury of living without working.

The employer, the kingdom of Eltest, has promised a huge reward for asking for a fight against the Kingdom of Merica. That's the amount that, as Lion says, would spit out all the wealth of the Eltest Kingdom.

The war against the Kingdom of the United States is an important affair for the Eastern Union in betting on the survival of the nation.

"... Can I really pay? That poor country"

The Eltest Kingdom is a small country, as Alice thinks. There is no military power at all, and everything is left to the Lions, the Wonderland Mercenaries.

"The contract is a contract. If you succeed, you will pay me if you dislike it."

"I know I'm suspicious, but I'm still addicted to working seriously."

"Trust is important in business."

Although Alice's point is good, Rion never acknowledges it.

Thus, while the two were chatting, one of the subordinates who was processing the fight came closer. Mercury is the captain of the Black Knight Unit.

"Lion, the prisoners have been disarmed."

"Look! The name is forbidden!"

Alice immediately complains about Mercury, which he calls Rion's name.

"How do I call it myself"

"I don't want to hear the name she gave me. That name is a promise to abandon it, because the promise is absolute."

I have a lot to say, but I know that saying it here doesn't help. Mercury decided to call it quieter.

"... King. Cleaning up is over."

"King?"

However, Leon is puzzled by this name.

"Oh, that tiger was the source of our pseudonym. Wasn't that the King at the top? It means King"

Mercury's pseudonym is Spade. Other former Band ド ゥ four-party leaders are named after Club, Hart, Diamond and Trump. Alice thought from the image of the wonderland, the name of the mercenaries. Omoto is the memory of Rion and Ryo.

"... well, anything is fine"

Whatever the case, Lion doesn't care. For Leon, everything is a pseudonym, except for Leon, who was given by Eriel.

"That's not good! Then I'm a queen!"

On the other hand, Alice seems to like it. However, this joy ends in a moment.

"Are you a joker?"

"... isn't a girl a joker?"

"Then the leader, this is what you said yourself."

Alice is the commander of the Wonderland Mercenaries. This is what happens, regardless of who the members follow. It's a wonderland, so it's better if the leader was Alice, a woman. Only Alice and Leon know this.

"The leader is not cute"

"Then, Alice, I don't need to change that."

"Umm"

"Well, we're taking a break until the POWs have been picked up, but once we do, we'll start moving on to the next raid, so be prepared to do so."

Leaving Alice in trouble, Rion gives Mercury instructions. You can't afford to waste time. Following Rion's instructions, Mercury returned to command his units.

"After all, work addiction"

"We can't beat the weak if we don't work as many times as the strong ones. This is also to complete the mission, that is, to make a lot of money."

Alice knows that Leon isn't interested in this big fortune. Leon wants to do anything because he can do anything. The more difficult it is, the less need to think about other things.

For the past four years, Lion, and the former Bandeau guards of the Knights who follow him, have been on the battlefield, although they have various opponents.

Wonderland Mercenaries, trained and trained, were arguably one of the continent's strongest units.

◇◇◇

Loss of invasion troops heading to various places reaches the headquarters of the Merika Kingdom Army one after another. A certain number is within the scope of the plan, but now it is much more. The invasion strategy was a failure.

"... Why Rion Frey is in the Eastern Union?"

Princess Olivia's fist slams into the meeting room desk. At last, the emotions exploded after hearing the bad news.

"Please calm down, I'm still not sure he's Rion Frey."

The guardian knight Yuri calms down with a cool tone, but Princess Olivia cannot be settled down with this.

"Are there other people who show such a battle !? Where did it come from?"

Olivia has also fought several times with the Eastern Union. Each time, he gained victory and gained fame.

However, as the preparatory battle was over and the Kingdom of Merica finally took the initiative in tackling eastern politics, the Eastern Union coalition's forces were different from the former Eastern Union coalition forces. The cause is undoubtedly the existence of a playful name mercenary corps, the Wonderland Mercenary Corps, who undertakes battles with money.

"I got a little information about the Wonderland Mercenaries. Would you like to ask?"

Entering the story is the Great General of the United States Army, Hans Sutherland. Except for the King, he is one of the three superior generals at the pinnacle of the Royal Army, and the oldest general in history.

With this experience, she has now joined the role of Princess Olivia. This is to prevent Princess Olivia from becoming a prisoner again.

"Please tell me"

"Then. The first time I heard the name of the Wonderland Mercenary Corps seems to be the Hashiu Kingdom. I heard that they had contracted monsters and monsters with gold."

"Is it Hashiu Kingdom ..."

It is a country adjacent to Bandhu. The thought of Princess Olivia that her idea was not wrong was strengthened.

"From there it seems to have moved to the Kingdom of Ox and the countries of the Eastern Coalition. There is evidence that he has also worked in the south. It seems that eradication of monsters is a considerable problem for small countries, so it seemed that they did not have a job."

The Wonderland Mercenaries are moving as they follow the spread of demons that have fled the Grand Flam Kingdom. That's true, but that's not the only reason.

"It just didn't seem to have stayed in one place for a long time. After doing one or two tasks, it's time to move on. The job has become anything from defeating monsters to defeating thieves and rebel lords. I will. "

"... it really is anything."

The occupation of mercenaries did not exist in this world. The army is made up of knights who are professional soldiers and recruited soldiers. I don't want to hire a mercenary who doesn't know anything and has no loyalty.

I think this is because the Kingdom of Merica is a great country. The situation is different when it comes to small countries. Training a soldier takes time and money. With regard to recruited soldiers, they will return to a valuable workforce once military service ends. Losing it is a decline in national power.

I don't want to kill even a few soldiers in my home country due to demons, demons, and bandits. There is nothing so much more than a lump sum solution. And who you ask.

"It seems that the Wonderland Mercenaries have all succeeded in doing all that work. It seemed that the reputation once built up was quicker as they were going around."

"But you didn't know Japan?"

"I have no activity in the Kingdom of Merica. I don't know if it was intentional or just because I had no work."

Both. I don't think the Kingdom of Merica will hire mercenaries. It will be troublesome when your identity is lost. Rion was avoiding the Kingdom of Merica, rather than the Wonderland Mercenaries.

"I guess there were quite a few invitations for officers, but I couldn't find any evidence of belonging to any country. That's what I'm calling a mercenary corps today."

"You are now employed by the Eltest Kingdom?"

"Yes. I'm lucky for the Kingdom of Eltest. When my country was attacked, a mercenary corps in Wonderland happened to be there. "

The army of the Merikas, which attacked the kingdom of Ertest, was severely damaged and retired.

"... can't you hire in Japan?"

If you are going to be hired for money, you can hire in the Kingdom of Merica. The monetary terms are definitely better in the Kingdom of Merica. Princess Olivia can make such a flexible idea. Even though there is a point that the fighting opponent is Rion.

"I'm investigating it, but it's probably difficult."

"why?"

"I don't know what kind of request the Eltest Kingdom has made, but the fact that we are fighting means that we have not finished the request. We will never abandon the request. It seems to be one of the reasons why the Wonderland Mercenary Corps is trusted, even though it is being rejected. ''

"... I see. If I didn't have to fight, I thought it was good."

"Yes. To be honest, I think so too."

"... Hans General Hans?"

Princess Olivia heard for the first time the words of Upper Hans's bearish remarks.

"As a soldier, I will fight openly if necessary, whatever the enemy is, but I am afraid as a warrior."

"Are you afraid?"

A more surprising remark comes out of Hans's mouth. Even as a warrior, Hans is a veteran of war. I can't imagine fearing the enemy.

"I can't explain this well, but I feel like I touched something I shouldn't touch."

It may be the intuition of a warrior who has been in history. Instinct as a warrior is aware of the danger of fighting Rion.

"What do you mean? I don't know."

"It's a coincidence that the Wonderland Mercenaries became enemies of the Kingdom of Merica. It just happened to be in the Kingdom of Eltest."

"I might say that."

"But the result is that, by any means, the Wonderland Mercenaries are now running the entire Allied Forces of the Eastern Countries. The migrant troops are running the forces of six countries, all small. Is this usually possible? "

In the past, the coalition, at best, only dispatched supportive troops to the nations that had been attacked, and had no strategically coordinated movements.

But not now. The military of each country plays each role with unified intention. If anyone were to do that, then only the Wonderland Mercenaries who had never been before, but were at the center of the battle, could be considered.

"At least it cannot be in Japan."

"The Son of Disasters, the King of Disasters, is what we have said. It brings disastrous things to touch, and he himself makes himself fat by making enemies. I think White Rabbit is definitely Rion Frey. "

"... yeah.

If the enemy you fight is big, Rion gets the power he needs to fight it. That's not the case, and Leon has no desire for a powerful force. But when you need it, no matter what your feelings are, you have to seek the power of your surroundings. Gather the power that is available and you will be against it.

After all, it's the same thing. Because the presence of the enemy increases Rion.

What power does Rion, who has made the great nation of the United Kingdom kingdom, get? Despite being the general of that enemy, Princess Olivia felt her heart swell somewhere.
