"Oh, the Imperial Devil... the Imperial Devil!?

Though I thought there was more to it than that, Rhine-Ansleus was screaming half frenzied as he entered the scene. In fact, maybe he was freaking out. The atmosphere-shaking roar also penetrated under the skin of Rhine, who had decided to be ready, shaking his flesh and shaking his soul.

It seems that the underlying fear is not something that can be overcome no matter how prepared you are. Even if he had the heart of martial arts, or had experience in action, Rhine, who was essentially just a politician, was unlikely to be able to stand up to the Imperial Devil like the soldiers. Of course, there's no need for politicians to be on the battlefield. It is the role of the military to shed blood on the front line, and it is the job of politicians to work their heads in the rear.

"Dear Rhine, let's go back to the royal palace. I thought it would be best to leave this to the Royal SS" Lion's Tail. "

"Oh well... If His Majesty's SS of Leongand, if Uncle Setuna, he would do anything about that degree of Imperial Demon...!

He got up early as he grabbed it in the hand that Zein-Maldeen offered. Of course, I don't really think so. The number of Imperial Demons freed from the sealed demon box made by Demon King Yubel craps hundreds. There was so much Imperial Demon that even the Kruselk side could not grasp the real numbers that it was packed inside that box on all sides for a few meters.

It means that many Imperial Demons, from small to medium sized, have been unleashed into the royal palace compartment.

"Come here, then"

Raphael-Crowe leads the line as he attracts expression. The royal demon screams that shook the royal palace compartment were so strange that everyone wanted to cover their ears.

"Let's hurry. The target is the Imperial Devil. With us, it's just a slaughter for them."

"I know."

Zein rushed me, and Ryne got a little grumpy. I know that. It is true that although I tried to play it in a big way, I felt a fear close to it. Not that I've ever seen an Imperial Demon, but with so many Imperial Demons in front of me, even fierce warriors should lose their hips.

Zein looked cool, but he must just be strong.

Rubbed off against many humans on the road from the square in front of the East Gate to the palace. The White Knights, led by the Prince and his wife of Lucion, the Beast Princess of Abad to the Assault General of Mion, the Prince of Zibel and the Reapers. They push to the battlefield, as if to mock Rhine's escape.

Reins couldn't forbid a sense of defeat as he looked out for the backs of the warriors trying to stand up to the Imperial Devil. The Imperial Devil is just vicious. Though it appeared hundreds, they stood up bravely and courageously, rather than fearfully. If that's not the case with a warrior, I have to say it's something that Rhine doesn't understand.

(but... it's also stupid)

So many Imperial Demons. I don't think we have a chance. Even if he succeeds in repelling the Imperial Devil, Leongand will be deceased by then. The Imperial Devil was not prepared to kill Leongand. It's just one element to bring chaos to this wedding venue.

I have something for you.

(The Imperial Devil is not human. I don't even think it works the way we think)

Therefore, Rhine must flee the battlefield. If you're on the battlefield, you're extremely likely to be the target of the Imperial Devil. If the Imperial Devil targets you, you can't even beat him with Reins. That would be the end of the line.

As he entered the palace with the Zeins, Reins ordered the guards to consolidate their palace defenses. Apart from him, there are many non-combatants such as nobles and servants fleeing into the palace, and there is nothing alone to condemn the actions of the Reins. It is only natural to flee the Imperial Demon to the present. Instead, it's crazier to stand up to them like the Hulbergs. Don't think you're out of your mind. Hulberg, Linonclair, he's not a warrior. Not a soldier. All I can say is that a man who should be at the top of the country is foolish, such as penetrating a crowd of Imperial Demons from scratch.

(But thanks to that, the confusion expands)

Leongand's assassination will be a success.

He giggled all over his chest, thinking about Gandhia after Leongand's death as he ran behind Zein. As long as Leongand dies, I don't care what happens later. The first step is to keep Gracia in your hands again. Even Gracia, as long as the Queen master it, is not difficult to manipulate Gandia as she wishes.

Because Leongando, who was the biggest wall, dies.

"As originally planned, let's hide in the basement. If you're underground, the Imperial Devil can come in."

"Oh......"

Zein said the Imperial Devil could break into the palace.

Rhine hurried down the road, nodding in the sky above. Underneath the Lion Royal Palace, there is a labyrinthine space. If we had hidden there until the Imperial Devil was gone, the Reins would have been safe.

So, you just have to wait for Leongand's death report.

I didn't think Rhys was upset.

That's what I've been building up for, even though I reconsidered.

Victory is near.

Leongand's orders to the Lion's Tail are to ensure the safety of the invitees. Leongand and Nage's wedding has a large number of guests invited from neighboring countries. If most of them are royalty and let them be injuries, there is no question that Gandia's reputation will fall to the ground. You can't even cause a scratch, then the difficulty of the mission jumps extraordinarily, but Setsuna thought that's where she wanted it.

If even black spears can help me, I feel like letting them do any difficult task. No, I have to do this. Otherwise, we will trample on the thoughts of Leongando, who appointed me as his collar uncle. Leongand is counting on Setsuna. If you don't live up to your expectations, there's no way you can protect your place.

It was shortly after silencing the impending bratail in front of him with a stone-piercing blow.

"Setuna, look, look!

"Hmm?"

Turning to Miliu's tense voice, she was wearing a crimson machete. A summoning weapon of appearance worthy of Miliu, who likes red, but whose ability and name, Setsuna did not know. She tells me.

"Love for Setsuna!"

"Yes?"

Setsuna had no idea what Miliu was talking about. I can understand the meaning of words. But I can't even guess what that means. This is a battlefield. It wasn't supposed to be the kind of situation where you could be making jokes. But she also doesn't look like she cared at all.

"It's the name of this machete, how about it?

"What do you say? It's not! What a name!

"You didn't ask Faria! Right, Setuna? What do you say?"

"No... you don't"

Setsuna gave her honest thoughts. Understand the surrounding situation as you state. There is a herd of Imperial Demons on the front left. That number is six hundred. There were several groups pushing there. Lucion's White Saint Knights, an elite unit led by Mion's Assault General, Abad's Beast Princess, and Zibel's Reapers. I guess you're going to fight a bunch of Imperial Demons.

"Huh!?

"Why are you putting my name in..."

"I put my thoughts into Setuna!

"I'm glad to hear that, but it's simply embarrassing."

"Mmmm..."

"I know you like Setuna, so make it a different name. Setsuna said she'd be happier."

"Yes, yes."

"Guru."

With some regret and groaning, she sent an impending attack of the Imperial Devil and waved his crimson machete. A sharp slaughter severs Bratail's extracranial skeleton from brain marrow to brain marrow, killing him. I kicked the Imperial Devil's body and flew back. A thunderbolt penetrates Miliu's standing space until just now. It would be a bleak. She waves down a machete in the air. When I wondered if the machete had become like a whip, my body subdivided innumerably. Countless blades poured down like meteors in the orbit of a machete, poking at the flesh of Bleek, who was starting to make thunderballs again, destroying bullshit. There a thunderbolt of Aurora Storm struck the chase, blowing up all the surrounding Imperial Demons.

"Good collaboration."

Setsuna is in love with the two of them for the first time in their battle, but is still looking for an enemy to follow. I witness a few bleaks running towards the Royal Forest, but I care more about the battlefield than that.

Battlefield.

Yes, the battlefield.

The slightly western side of the site of the Imperial Demon is the main battlefield.

That's where Lucion, Myon, Abard, and Gibbel gather their main powers to fight the Imperial Devil. The crowd of Imperial Demons, although showing their intention to invade the palace further west from there, will have to break through the battlefield to do so, and it will not be easy. No matter how vicious the Imperial Devil is, the power of the human side is not ridiculous.

(If you protect it thoroughly, but...)

Setsuna was calmly analyzing his power differences as he headed to the battlefield. It is the various types of Imperial Demons, from small to medium, that make up the crowd of Imperial Demons. Bleek, Bratail, Gresbell, Lesbelle, Lyot...... Setsuna is also well aware of the destructive power that even a single bleak possesses. Besides Bleak, Resbel was a vicious Imperial Demon, and Bratail's mobility is hard to insult. Lyot boasted a giant among the medium-sized Imperial Demons, and pressure alone was not the norm.

About six hundred such monsters appeared in the royal palace compartment. It was also impossible for the nobles, who did not know the battle, to escape with a desperate voice.

Setuna, too, never dealt with this many Imperial Demons at once.

By contrast, the power on the human side is two hundred for Gandia's royal palace guards, one hundred for Lucion's White Saints, one hundred for Myon's soldiers, fifty for Abad led by the Beast Princess, and not much for Gibbel, two reapers and a prince, and a Kingsguard. And the three of "The Lion's Tail". inferior in numbers alone, but every country was an elite among the elite. Setuna was well aware of the strength of the White Saint Knights, as well as that of Myon, and that they would be able to fight the Imperial Devil equally. The strength of the Reaper Troops and the Beast Princess is unclear, but a degree of power that is no better than that of Lucion or Myon is sufficient. Even if they didn't have the strength, there are Setuna and the others.

Setuna and the others are proud to work just to make up for the lack of power.

"Where's Ruufa?

"I don't know"

"You don't seem to ignore orders."

"Oh......"

Setuna had no choice but to nod to Faria's words.

This is not the first time Ruufa has ignored an order to the best of Setuna's knowledge. When the Imperial Demon came to Bahandar, he took part in the battle while remaining absolutely at peace.

His disregard for orders means that there is no more than good reason.

Running down the stairs leading to the basement of the palace, Lyne followed the lead Zein shortly after a breath. My breath is rising, not because of my lack of exercise. Though not a warrior, it is natural to learn martial arts as an aristocratic hobby. Every day, I haven't forgotten my workouts.

Still, it wasn't easy running through the East Gate to the palace. Given what happened after Leongando's death, isn't it necessary to train more flesh? With that in mind, proceed with the underground darkness.

Raphael took out a portable demon light and illuminated the front of Zein. The passage was narrow and the Reins proceeded in a row. It smelled like poking my nose, but I couldn't help it. It seems that the basement of the palace has not been maintained for a long time. Ever since the days of the Predecessor, he was left untouched. It wasn't until the other day that Rhine found out about this underground space. When I was collecting material to murder Leongand, I stumbled upon it. Though I wondered if there was any hand in using this underground space, there was no way I could have brought Leongando underground or anything like that.

In doing so, a plot was launched to murder him during the wedding in collusion with Kruselk, and the underground space became the carriage used by the Reins as a place to hide.

Eventually, when we reached the penetration of the aisle, Zein opened the door. At the end of the aisle, partitioned by doors, there is a wide space. It was exactly as I found it. When I stepped into the vast space, it smelled very strange, but I had no choice but to indulge. The smell may be too strong to go in the back. We should probably stay here.

"... you'll be relieved to get this far"

Then Reins confirmed that his comrades like Zein and Rafael were in full swing. Some of them went into the spot because of lack of exercise. Naturally some aristocrats not only fail to train like Rhine, but give themselves up to a graceful life and gain weight. Rather, the latter was more a reality. It's lamentable, but it's not that easy to correct either.

"Safe? I'm sure you might."

It was the voice of a young man that suddenly shook his earlobes. Raphael puts the Demon Crystal lamp in the direction of his voice. Rising in the darkness is the figure of a young man dressed in pure white. I know. Well, I know. I couldn't have known. If you were a Gandhian nobleman, no, if you were a Gandhian person, you would have been so personable that there was nothing you didn't know.

"Why are you here!?

Rhine exclaimed, not knowingly.

"Ruufa Zenon-Bargasar!

Your blonde, Bigeye, was looking at this one with cold eyes.
