Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Ten days after the demon king's proclamation.

There were many people on the plains just north of the town of Coruso.

This is where the Magus attacked and became a battlefield.

At that time, the appearance of monsters was drastically reduced thanks to the defeat of the monster herd that appeared like the monster group runaway (stampede), and I was able to build a simple fortress to ensure some safety.

Had it not been for the Demon King's declaration, it would have been added to the territory of the Empire within six months.

Construction of the integrated operations headquarters building was currently underway at this location.

The stage is based on the foundations of the building, and is lined up with Emperor Vertinsro, King Sensoliver, and senior officials from all over the country, as well as the townships of each Alliance.

Facing the stage, the army was in line.

Ten thousand soldiers.

Most of them belong to the Imperial Army on the northern border, with a small number of adventurers in line.

Many people gathered around it.

They are spectators gathered from the neighborhood.

Some of them came hurrying from afar.

From now on, the ceremony that we were preparing for will be held.

At the end of this ceremony, the soldiers gathered here will begin marching into the demons.

For this reason, the ceremony was simply called the "Formation".

"From now on, we will execute the Alliance in the Empire of Vertinslo and the Kingdom of Sensoliver!

An alliance was formed ahead of the battle ceremony.

It was the Empire Prime Minister who raised his voice on the stage.

The old man was impressed by his rich gray hair and fine white beard.

I'm almost 70 years old, but my spine is stretched and my voice is tense.

His voice reached every corner of the plain with a magical device.

Although skirmishes at the border continued, the empire and kingdom remained in a state of truce.

Let's take it one step further and become allies.

As a matter of fact, let's get along with the Demon King Army.

This will allow the Royal Army to pass through Empire territory.

To give just a few concrete examples, the Empire helps the Kingdom march as much as possible, and the Royal Army does not cause problems within the Empire.

If the Imperial side attempts to obstruct the progress of the Royal Army or if the Royal Army commits criminal acts in Imperial territory, it will be relentlessly punished.

And keep the continent as peaceful as possible after the demon king crusade.

That's what it was.

The Emperor and the King sign and exchange their respective documents.

Shortly thereafter, the emperor was still young, a good young man in his mid-thirties with bright blonde hair and blue eyes.

The King is a gentle young man with dull red hair and grey eyes, not as good as the Empire Prime Minister, but with a splendid beard.

I'm about the same age as Rosanna.

After the exchange of documents, the emperor and the king stood up and shook hands.

Then, the applause of thunder rang.

When the Empire Prime Minister raised his hand on the stage, the applause almost subsided.

"This led to an alliance between the Vertinslot Empire and the Kingdom of Sensoliver!Go on, let's do the fight!!

From there, the imperial prime minister described something like the ceremonial stereotype as hard.

Rosanna, the prime minister of the kingdom, should have stood here, but she declined because of her weight.

Then there was an opinion that someone else would be killed, but since it was imperial territory that was first exposed to the threat of the Demon King's Army, it would be better to let the Empire have a flower, so the progress was left to the Imperial Prime Minister.

After the unexpectedly concise Prime Minister's story ended, the emperor and the king appeared side by side before the stage.

The Emperor opened his mouth first.

"I know a lot of people, but there was a monster gang runaway (stampede) on the southern border recently.A herd of monsters threatening humanity from the south was destroyed by brave Royal Army and adventurers. "

Then the king opens his mouth.

"Then there was a Magus attack on the northern border.In addition to the herd of monsters, several demons attacked, threatening more than the previous monster runaway (Stampede), but the brave Imperial Army, adventurers, and kingdom adventurers joined hands to destroy it. "

They praise each other for their achievements.

It is also important in these places to know that the threat of a demon attack was higher when the Empire and the Kingdom fought together than when the monster group ran away (Stampede), which was solved only by the Kingdom's forces.

"As you may have noticed, these were the devil's strategies to threaten humanity from the North and the South.We crushed it in advance!

It is a fact.

As a result of Yoichi's [appraisal], it was confirmed that the demon king Pablo thought this way at the time.

There is no other evidence, but it is of no particular importance.

"As a result of crushing and attacking his strategy, the pursued Demon King threatened and confused us with his appearance and voice, making such a declaration of war in his misery!

This is partly a mix of lies.

It is true that the means of interception from the north and the south were crushed and attacked.

However, for the demon king whose existence doubled with Carlo's death in that world, it was the earlier declaration of war that took place in half of the play as a result of gaining enough power not to require a detailed strategy.

Instead of suffering, it's a surplus, but you don't have to tell the fool honestly.

"A hundred days after that proclamation, the Demon King said he would invade, but there's no need to defend it with discipline!From now on, we will march into the demon with 1 million troops!!

Ooooooooo!!!!

When the emperor proclaimed, the soldiers lined up raised their swords and raised their voices.

With the exception of some adventurers, it was a splendid thing for 10,000 soldiers wearing matching light armor to speak up.

There are only 10,000 soldiers here, but the total number of soldiers deployed across the border amounts to 100,000, and they leave as the first team.

After that, soldiers will gather from all over the continent and eventually reach 1 million.

This march is intended to advance the line of defense.

Destroy as many monsters as you can and build a bridgehead to prepare for the invasion of the Demon King army.By doing so, it is a strategy to reduce damage to Imperial territory by as little as possible.

The soldiers' voices were followed by cheers.

After a while, after a little calm, the king raised his hand, and the silence came again.

"Can you beat the Demon King with a million troops?Some will be so anxious.But we have the protection of the goddess!A brave man blessed by the goddess who sent the brave Togo hundreds of years ago came down here to save the world from a crisis!

The king's words were echoed by the spectators.

"Alec the Brave! Show me the power!

Ha!

Alec, a short distance from the soldiers, replied to the emperor.

There stood dozens of logs.

Alec, who stood loosely, first stood in front of a log and lowered his hips.

Then he put his hand on the handle and pulled out the knife, and the logs as large as the pole were cut neatly.

Not only the spectators but also the soldiers exclaimed, but Alec ignored it and rushed into the logs, swinging his sword.

Running around in the middle of the logs with an irresistible motion, he finally pulled out the armpit and waved the two blades.

"His skill is incredible, but that sword... no, a curved sword?Anyway, the sharpness is amazing!

"The logs that are being struck are magical timber, right?I didn't expect that log, which was as hard as steel, to be easily torn apart... "

"What kind of masterpiece is this?I want you to take a closer look at it. "

As many people lost sight of Alec's skill, a part of the blacksmith's guild gave him an interesting look at his sword.

Both of Alec's famous Kamakura swords were on display in Japanese museums.

It was recovered by Sheehan, who was still a thief, analyzed by Samantha and struck exclusively for Alec, and was the world's premier sharp sword.

"... fuu"

When Alec stopped and delivered the sword, only the finely cut pieces of wood remained on the spot.

Uh-oh!!!!

An angry cheer boiled.

"Princess Knight Alana! Show me the power."

Ha!

When the cheer subsided, Alana called out to the king.

She was also slightly away from the soldiers, and there was a big rock that was twice as tall as a man.

Two axe spears appear in Alana's hand.

"Phew...."

After exhaling lightly, she stacked the axe spear in her left and right hands.

Then two axe spears merge into one giant axe spear.

It is a skill that can only be achieved if it is a weapon that is integrated with the spirit [mindset].

Arana, standing in front of the big rock, placed a giant axe spear on the upper level.

"... hey"

"Don't tell me you're going to slash a rock...?

The audience greeted me with a strange voice.

Without making such a noise, she concentrated with her axe spear on.And after a while...

"Haah!

The axe spear was swinging down.

"Eh...?

Shortly thereafter, the King's dumb voice echoes in the plains.

The big rock, which was thought to be amputable or not, vanished without a shadow, leaving only shards of finely shattered rock and sand.
