Prior evacuation recommendations, for example, do not exist in operational actions.
"It could leak to the outside world, it could be distracting," for the most legitimate reason.
It may also be taken as inhumane, but that is what war is all about, and it was the iron rule that the inhabitants of an area that was inherently at risk should be allowed to go to a safe place long before with or without an operation.
But - the two countries, which had been at war for so long, while still wandering about such bottom-preparedness as to prioritize the lives of such people, had repeatedly acted in ways that were both reckless and merciless, as if their senses had already been paralysed.
Not everyone. Some spoke to the operation in view of the dangers, the damage, while others did exist who used personal connections and moved to pre-evade neighboring residents.
It can be, for example, a person like Stilia Shezzard, deputy chief of the Knights of the Kingdom of Gardeus, or a former companion of Caivon, El, who names herself Merliah Mayrrant, Princess of the Mayrrant Empire.
But still, to stagnate this sort of huge stream of war, it was too unreliable on just two levels, and it had been pushed away by that stream.
- But what would happen if there were enormous power, like wiping out the flow itself?
The border of neighboring Mayrant Empire, about 120 km southwest of the Kingdom of Gardeus.
It was an implicit understanding within both countries that, in the past, there were many people in and out of the country, and that the two countries were also positioned to manage the flow of goods, but that since the deterioration of relations between the two countries, they had made each other inviolable, and that there were relationships dotted with many rural areas, and that even though they were at war, they would not make this place a battlefield.
But the commander of the Knights of the Kingdom of Gardeus, who now heads this unit, was marching towards the territory of the Mayrant Empire, pushing up the front, not to mention saying that such a thing had nothing to do with it.
"Again, this is what we should have done from the beginning. The lives of peasants and the history, the people, the great justice of our country. It's like the people up there don't know which is more important."
"Exactly! Neither the weak-hearted king nor the wounded vice-knight captain who followed the lad's play is of any use, after all, this will be where we will need to show our true loyalty, the true knight's way."
"Mm-hmm. How much for the rest of the brave army? The magician gave the order to keep it warm, but if possible, as a leading soldier with the martial arts, he ordered the villages of Mayrant to be burned down."
I have the righteousness. So blindly, neither the commander who flies instructions that have lost ethics, nor the aides who follow them, nor the majority of knights, were trying to differ from it.
It is too unusual a sight to say that the air was only poisoned by this war… and if any other human being sees how it is, a number of actions that would undoubtedly frown.
Plunder in the name of collecting in a village on the road or assault in the name of comfort. If Stiglia were at the top of the chain of command, the Knights would repeat their actions that they would certainly not tolerate and, on the contrary, they would be immediately decapitated.
Something was, yes, something was starting to go crazy.
"So, what's going on with their front?"
"Yes, the Mailland army is currently retreating the front and stuck in Guan leading to the south coast"
"... a forbidden land. Can't we just go around there, huh?"
"... Yes. It's too dangerous. Only the people who live on that coast are just..."
"I don't know what else to do. I'm heading from the front of Sekikan. Drop Guan"
"Ha! I'll give you instructions to resume the march immediately"
And the march of death, which can also be taken as madness, resumes.
Rural areas will no longer be turned into wilderness listed by burning fields and debris.
The march of death, which destroys all such paths, gradually erodes the mind and body of those who follow, creating the shepherd.
A group of lunatics who push even if they don't mind will eventually reach the point where they have ten kilometers left to go to their destination.
But...
"Command from the scout team! Halfway between Guan and our army, about three kilometers from here, there is a shadow of man!
"What? A demon? If you're Harpy's, shoot him down right away."
"That's... apparently not, preventing all of this technique and talking in some horrible voice"
"... Mailrant's secret weapon? Have you even taken sides with your magician..."
And to get rid of the shadow that appeared, he moved -
'It's no use. Think I'll get that kind of prank? I won't say anything bad. Bring those who bind them here. "
We send it to you in a slightly harsh, 30% reduction in viciousness, subtly different in colour from the usual Demon King mode.
Note that all this time, as an operation, the costume is in Demon King mode, but the accessories are different.
"Erdocapricorn" "Heavenly Wheel of the Creating God"
"Paynes Persona" "I can't show you! Mysterious Light '
"Elderwing" "Wings of the Sky (Christmas Exclusive VER White)"
I wear three types of accessories in exchange for my usual accessories that you would never look good on me.
I can't see my face in the rear light, the demon king who turned into an angel. No, I definitely don't want to show it to you.
I'm asking the Gardeus army during the admirable march to stop, and I'm asking them to call the commander, but all they return is tons of arrows and magic.
A little apprentice in the Mailrant army, please.
Well, we're apart from each other originally, and I'm in an admirable retreat, so I think we're gonna have to make it big.
In the midst of an exchange that was slightly too one-sided to be called such a push question, far rear of the Sorcerer and Archer armies, a knight came here riding two demons from the main unit.
but if you observe carefully, the rear main unit also looks ready to make some moves.
... Well, I can't help it.
"Who are you! No one who stands in the way of my righteous steps will forgive you!
And a man wearing armor that is somewhat more luxurious than other humans, who has appeared so close to us, calls out to us using a loud magic guide.
No questions asked, no attacks, and although this is the only way to respond to negotiations, it can also be a salvation - apparently it was an operation to distract.
I'll kill you right here. I'll wipe out all the magic and arrows with one hand, unlike before.
"Hmm!?
'You're not going to listen to me, are you?
"... tell all units to stop the attack"
Why, this one doesn't fight back. That's what I did this time.
"Listen, I am the use of the great seven stars. My Lord will soon descend upon this land again. You can't let useless blood bleed out there!
That's right. This time it's not the Demon King, it's the use of the Seven Stars.
Honestly, I don't think I can do it as usual. Just see, if you look like an angel like this, I was wondering if you would thank me for stopping the fight... though the results seem to be ineffective.
"The use of the Seven Stars? What a fool."
'Believe it or not, I'm not going to ask you any more questions now. But this is how I showed up to stop a useless fight in this place. The fact is unshakeable. Stop the battle and prepare for the descent of the Seven Stars.'
"... No way, the Expeditionary Force really liberated the Seven Stars... but... we are the ones who liberated them! There's no such thing as being told to stop it from destroying an enemy country! Isn't this victory the offering and dedication to the Seven Stars!
As if to echo that voice, the main unit, who refrains behind it, raises its voice.
Well, then...
'I'm saying that's unforgivable, don't you see!
Wave a sword on the ground, creating a giant crater.
The fear that this blow may reach us.
I end up being such a means, feeling sorry for my lack of bargaining power, but now I finally...
"Shoot me! I don't care who you are more than you attacked!
"Nah!"
In the next moment, is it intense magic, no magic guide? A running stream of light that covers everything in sight pushes this way.
... You're lying, you haven't broken your attitude to fight so far... what's going on?
Seeing the current attack, you think you can't break your will? That's crazy, it's a blow that will wipe out the main unit in one shot...
'... stupid. Still note...... that's good enough'
Are you no longer willing to ask questions, commander joining the main unit?
Then, only to make it physically impossible to march, I will reassemble the configuration of the abilities into the configuration that gives off the strongest blow at this stage.
'... nobody, don't get me involved'
to the earth, releasing a blow that had once been unleashed only once.
Buried the strongest being, that blow, Heavenly Break “Pole".
That first blow left a deep wound on the ground along a barrier built to block the border, far beyond sight, so as to tear the earth apart, and...
"Nah! You're still from Maillant."
"This is my answer."
A few moments later, from that rift, the light erupted as if it were a geyser, cutting through the heavens.
'... think about it now. Is this what a man's son can do? Calm the dispute and wait for the Seven Stars.'
A rift on a scale that can no longer even be called a valley, inscribed as if to divide the border.
Too deep a rift, like it takes a long time to bridge or bypass.
Neither the arrow, nor the commander's man, had fallen from the Warcraft and slipped out of his hips at that crack that would not even magically reach the other shore.
"... the Mayrant army man who escaped to Sekikan was in danger of isolation... in danger"
But it's weird. What drives them so far into battle? Isn't this a little unusual?
Even now, he seems to be thinking about how he can do something about this crack.
"... at any rate, can this not open the war for the time being? Me, too, to Gardeus."
I don't feel like I have a crush on my chest, but I'm going to spend a lot of time on my own feet to join you guys back there.
There were too many Gardeus knights on the road to blow up the streets, so I couldn't catch up with them, and it took me two days to get back to Gardeus.
As always, at the entrance to the city, the sisters who ask for magic supply stand, and all the inhabitants and visitors to the city provide magic.
... This is, in a way, like a fundraiser for war...
It's not that I don't believe in people's consciences, but this sight supplied by almost everyone in the passersby... can it also be said that it is unusual?
"All I see in the city is a piece of peace... why don't we head to Mr. Stiglia's mansion for once anyway"
Fortunately, it was possible to enter the aristocratic district by facepath, whether the existence of Reis had previously been discussed and remembered.
But at the same time, the hasty knights and supposedly soldiers are on their way to the royal castle without a trace, and perhaps my presence will be reported, which makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable about what happens after this.
Anyway, when we arrived safely at her mansion, we were able to confirm the appearance of the demonic car we had rented on the property and we were able to return safely.
Then Mr. Stiglia opened the door to the mansion sooner than she spoke to the gatekeeper.
Lord Caivon, please come inside.
"Oh, okay."
When I was put through the mansion, other faces had already gathered in the hall, and everyone looked worried and waited.
"Well done Kai, you're safe..."
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm a little behind schedule."
"Again... I can't help it more than unforeseen things have happened"
"I'm surprised, really. I thought it was okay, but I knew it."
Everyone comes up with an anxious look, but something is wrong.
When I asked him what the hell was going on, Mr. Stiglia spoke out in a manner that seemed serious.
"… In fact, a decree was sent by the army on its way out earlier. He who called himself the use of the Seven Stars appeared as an angel, and parted the earth, and was prevented from crossing the border..."
"No way, I didn't expect this to happen at the right time when Kai was on his way, and this is how I worried... Well, with an angel... I thought it was legendary, but it's still closely related to those legends, Seven Stars."
"Maybe the ice we carried, that triggered it."
Wait.
"But it would have been huge to have been stopped from marching as a result. But... I didn't know that dividing the continent... mythical beings existed. When we liberated the Seven Stars, we were working out a way to combat this gathering that his people might come to us."
"I don't think Kai-kun can beat any guy, do you? But... I think I might just get hurt this time, and maybe Reyes and I should just take a little bit of a step back from this."
"... Yes. It may be thin, but if those beings think about what happens when they find someone they might shoulder to shoulder, namely Kai... Honestly, all this time, Kai will be back safely or I was worried that my meal wouldn't go through my throat..."
Isn't it serious inside that Reis doesn't get his meal through his throat......
Hey... I kind of have the nerve to confess this...
"... that, what. See, I can look different... tentacles, tails, more feathers."
"... yeah. Speaking of which, you've shown it before."
Can you do that, Mr. Caivon?
"I've seen it before. He even showed it to me in the dungeon."
For some reason I'm proud of Ginia. Well, anyway.
"... there are angelic feathers and angel rings inside."
"... yeah?
Together, look here as if the clouds have become suspicious.
Yeah, if it's too much trouble, let me show you what I looked like earlier. I'm really embarrassed, but this would be the best part.
"Yes, it's a bumpy archangel form. No, I'm sorry... I thought it would be better to look like this to keep the waves from rising..."
Silent mouth Angries. I don't think I had a fall this time.
Look, 'cause it's me. It's me walking insanity, that's all you can do.
Because I am a former obsolete person with a lot of accessory related so that I can even turn into a clown if I care about that......
"Nah... why aren't you the Demon King only this time..."
"Yes, no, because, you see, it remains a painting for once... and I'm terrified to stop the war, even if you look like you know you're a demon in one shot, it seems to have a thin effect?
"Is it convenient to use the Seven Stars? No, it does make sense, and I think it's a better hand than talking about the Demon King. It's just... after all, we've all been worried. Well done, Lord Caivon."
I'm so sorry about something. When I'm seriously worried while being affirmed, I feel like I've done something wrong again. Mr. Stiglia, I'm sorry.
"Oh, good... it was Kai, wasn't it? Well... then the story of continental division is also the result of having a tail fin..."
"Oh, that's really me. Something was wrong with the knights. Even if I show you a big blow with intimidation, you'll be fine to try this way. I'm also tempted to attack directly, so I've been building some big cliffs along the border so I can't physically march."
"... when you cut through the woods, did you still have some leeway, Lord Caivon"
This time, Mr. Stiglia pulled the dong.
First, explain what happened on the battlefield, and on top of that, explain what's wrong with the military.
And I was also asked about the fact that the decree had already entered the king's ear, and that the march, which could be considered arbitrary by the army, was suspended and the royal castle was now being held accountable.
"This will need to be seen internally with the king... well, that would be easy to do. But the question is what to do afterwards."
"Nao, you're going to have to talk to the king about the seven stars for now, right? Nao, can I see that your comeback has already been passed on to everyone?
"Yes, once I've already seen it with the king, when I told him I had an inside story to tell him..."
"The order has been passed on. Well, tonight, I am also being called to the royal castle at an army meeting, so I will speak to the king in doing so. Master Nao, please stay in my mansion for a while now. Right now, it's not strange for people to go out after Nao."
"Ugh, yeah... watch out for Stiglia too"
It's what I did, but I'm still pretty confused.
Not yet if it's just a march. But this is a problem that happened after arbitrariness.
This certainly doesn't seem to calm down for a while... but would it change again if I told him I officially welcomed the Seven Stars?
"For once, I declared that the Seven Stars would soon wake up, what's going on about it?
"Yes, there is also an overlap that Master Nao has returned to vote, and there is also a human appearance that we should now investigate whether he has really been freed. But I was wondering if we could clean this up with the King's announcement."
"Whatever, you mean look first... right, I'll wait and see. Thank you, Stiglia."
"Yes, I will certainly make my vision with the king come true."
So, before sundown, Mr. Stiglia set off for the royal castle, and Grandpa Ken headed to a sorcerer's guild organization with his own apartment, and we were left with nothing but good news in the mansion.
"Um. I'm going out a little bit, too. Although not a branch of the Adventurer Guild, I heard that the facilities that govern the Guild in this country have facilities that allow for intercontinental communication. So I thought I'd report to General Oink."
"Oh, you have such long distance communication!? So, hey, can I come with you?
"Are you with Master Caivon! Yes, that's for sure."
"Huh? That I can talk to Oink? I want to go too!
"Lue, it's remarkable to move together now, and let's be patient here, shall we? I'm sure you'll have a chance later."
"Uh... well, I don't know what else to do... Kai-kun, say hello to Oink, okay?
"Ha, got it. Well, I guess I'll just go."
That's how I headed with Ginia, who skipped happily, to a city in the middle of chaos right now.
