Kuro no Maou

"---- Now is the time to rule the Great Labyrinth and my kingdom of Gin Atlas will regain its hegemony over the Great Desert!

King Jin Atlas proudly proclaimed that after the storm passed and heard the report of "Zanadu, the King of Adventures, dies" brought by Karamara.

There are several small nations in the vast Atlas Desert. The Kingdom of Gin Atlas is a relatively large country that dominates the western part of the Great Desert. It is now the great kingdom of Atlas, of great power and magnitude, that once ruled the entire Great Desert.

However, hundreds of years ago, in the middle of the Great Desert, the Great Labyrinth, which was sung by ancient legends, was discovered and the kingdom rapidly declined after the establishment of Karamara.

Once reigned at the top of glory, so the pride cannot be abandoned even after hundreds of years. It is the wish of Royal Jin Atlas to regain the supremacy of the Great Desert from Karamara.

Modern kings were also ambitious men dreaming of domination of the Great Desert and, above all, blessed with fortune that the opportunity would pass for centuries.

"Karamara has long been dominated by big merchants. The complicated intertwined rights, the fierce replacement of the senatorial system... it was in such a chaotic state that I never had a chance to enter."

Even on a continent where the council system by the big merchants was rare, Karamara's political form could never be said to be a good governance, but there were also benefits that could only be sustained for a long time.

The most important thing is that there is no king.

A royal government with a king at the top of its power is very fragile when the king is absent. In other words, when the king dies, it is time for the kingdom to sway. Succession struggles are common in the kingdom, although it is not a big problem if it is successfully replaced.

In a council system, however, the death of only one person does not have a major impact. No matter how powerful a councilman is, he has no more power than a king. Dozens of senators will have to die simultaneously to be so damaging to the state.

"But the adventure King Zanadu, the appearance of that man finally broke Karamara's balance. He deserves to be called King of Karamara."

Yes, it was Zanadu who gathered all the influence comparable to the King in the absence of the King, Karamara. The two names of the King of Adventurers were spread, perhaps because it was darkly recognized that their authority was equivalent to that of the King.

And upon the death of such a great man, the king, who was in his present throne, prays for gratitude to Atlas, the goddess of the Great Desert. Now is the right time for a one-time opportunity. If we miss this, the next one may be a thousand years away.

"For decades, Yu held the throne... Today, Yu has prepared for this day. Zanadu falls and prepares to take a breath of domination over Karamara."

Zanadu, a human being, cannot live for two hundred years, no matter how he scratches his feet. No matter what artifact or secret medicine you get in the Great Labyrinth, it's only a little over a hundred years.

It is not so difficult to prepare for the death.

And it wasn't just the kingdom of Jin Atlas that was thinking about it.

"There was only a secret agreement a long time ago, but there is no other way to make it real. Led by my kingdom of Gin Atlas, a great alliance has been formed with Rockwell in the north, Desantos in the east, and 13 other countries altogether!

Everyone was after him. At this time, the tiger is watching. A city of too many wonders called Karamara.

The countries surrounding the Great Desert, whose wealth could only be seen at the end of the sand, united at this time.

This time, to make the richness yours.

"General Shargyl Kartahar! It's called" The Great Agito of Jin. "It's the mightiest winning general in Japan. I entrust you to the Grand Admiral, who leads the Atlas Fleet!!

"Haha! I'll take care of this Shargar! Kick off Karamara's gold and conquer the Great Labyrinth to see!

Thus, General Shargyl Kartahar of the kingdom of Jin Atlas led an unprecedented and backward fleet of Atlas United Fleets, pushing through the sea of sand with exhilaration.

"No way, it's really time to attack Karamara."

While watching a number of warships sailing on the bridge, Shargyle murmured as if they were indifferent.

Carlamara's envy and ambition are by no means exclusive to the royal family.

As far as civilians are concerned, I simply have only the sentiments of the countrymen's yearning for the city, but when I become a royal aristocrat or a general who leads the army, I am reminded of the difference in national strength even if I don't like it.

A loyal king has no means or power over the dozens of big merchants in Karamara. I've never had painful thoughts once or twice.

"It's time to regret despising us as frontier countrymen."

Where is the kingdom of Jin Atlas? Eh, there's no country like this in the middle of the desert. Was it amazing? It's a humiliation that makes your bowels boil back just by remembering the glory of the past, the pathetic way it is.

"Let's remind them that the true ruler of the Great Desert is the Djeldil species of Gin Atlas."

Bitter and Shargyle's tail struck the floor forcefully.

The kingdom of Jin Atlas was the land of Lizardman.

The body color varies from light sand to brown, but it is definitely a protective color adapted to the desert. Lizardman, a major force in the Varna Forest Sea, is a species known as the Dynapartheid, which is a rich reflection of the characteristics of the local dragon system, but the Gin Atlas dezeldil species has characteristics very similar to crocodiles.

Rather than just humans and beasts, it is only natural that Lizardman, who possesses the characteristics of a desert crocodile adapted to the environment of the desert, gained power in this harsh land called the Atlas Great Desert. There is no doubt that it is their race to have a body that is simply suitable for living in the desert.

"I hope it works out that way."

"Hmm, you're quite weak, aren't you?" The Red Snake, a woman who might be Bellanie. "

"Stop it, I don't like the name."

And the grand admiral, Shergueil, was echoed by a Lamia woman with long, bright red hair.

Lamia's feminine flesh-style upper body reveals several scars and engraved magic tattoos on her that she is a woman who lives on the battlefield. The long snake's tail was covered in red rust-coloured scales, and its thickness was like a firefly dragon.

Bellanie is responsible for the fleet of tiger sons that De Santos, a city east of the Great Desert, has launched. Women are masters who lead the men of the sand sea.

"We can't fight Karamara alone. However, with this large fleet, as early as possible, the power differential will certainly be our advantage."

"Yes, this Alliance fleet is definitely the biggest and most powerful in Atlas. Famous first-class people, including you and Atashi. It's not just a bunch of ravens."

"Well, His Majesty the King has done a lot of good work."

It is never complacent to insist on that.

General Shargar of the Kingdom of Jin Atlas. It's called "The Great Agito of Gin", so it's in excellent fleet command.

Move your own fleet of trained fleets endlessly across the battlefield, sinking enemies without escaping. In particular, the quick fleet maneuvers of reading the stream of driftsand, instantly siegeing the opponent's left and right, or pinching them back and forth, and the fierce attack power are like giant jaws of desert crocodiles that truly bite their prey with a breath.

Flowing pirates, even the navy of neighboring countries, will tremble when they see a crocodile-headed flag that flips softly.

On the other hand, Bellanie, known as the "Red Snake", is not brave enough to take on Shargar.

When Dessantos was subjected to an unjust economic blockade by some members of the Carramara Congress, Bellanie, who was still an unknown pirate group at the time, attacked the Congressman's Chamber of Commerce ship thoroughly. Don't miss out on even a small transport vessel, and no matter how powerful an escort it is, it will surely kill the prey… Finally, the loud senator withdraws the economic blockade and then loses his leg. Bellanie was recognized for her achievements and welcomed as a general of the Desantos Navy in the clear.

In addition, Rockwell, the second most powerful country in the Great Desert after Karamara, also spares no effort in providing plenty of naval power. In addition, some of Rockwell's leading merchants, such as the Lavien Chamber of Commerce and Galluda Transport, have cooperated fully and will be able to replenish.

Small as the size of a country, most sailors and desert sea warriors are proud of everywhere. With just a few small vessels, some brave men have pursued the fortress whale (Fortress Grahl) and finally taken it down.

This Atlas Alliance fleet is staffed with heroes and elites representing such nations. Exactly the Atlas Desert Naval Power Contest.

No matter how rich Karamara is in metropolitan China, if we take on the big coalition that has gathered so far, we won't win.

"This fight, well, I won't lose first. But it's not like Carlamara's gonna shut you up, is it?

"Of course, we don't expect much damage."

"At that time, I wonder if there's anything to eat, hey?

"Hmm, you're not satisfied with my command?

"As the same sailor, I trust your skill. But in the first place, the purpose was the Great Labyrinth. If we kill our enemies, we'll be done."

"Don't worry, I'm a real soldier, from nose to tail. Other than fighting, it's not my job. Therefore, I will crush the Karamara fleet with my whole body. Never indulge in indulgent exploitation that would cause extra damage to the fleets of other countries. I swear by the goddess of Atlas."

"Heh, don't tell me."

"Otherwise, no one will recognize me as the Grand Admiral. Bellanie, take a look. I can see Karamara's hostile ships, and then my Jin Atlas fleet will take the lead and open the battlefield!

One of the pillars of the black gods, the goddess of the desert, "Golden Atlas". The voyage of the Alliance fleet was going very well, having been blessed by the Goddess, who is said to be giving this great sand stream to the Great Desert.

Never before in modern history has such a large fleet moved. Based on the huge number of ships, it was initially planned to divide into three distributive attacks.

However, on departure, the flow of the Great Desert has shifted in a direction that would allow a large and dispersed fleet to merge, and now there are huge driftsand roads that have rarely been seen in recent years.

The enormous route through which the Alliance fleet could run at ease seemed to be God's guide that now was the time to destroy Karamara.

It is blessed with both driftsand and weather, and proceeds well ahead of schedule. I'm sure Karamara knows we're coming in with a large fleet of rocks.

But with Zanadu's death in Karamara, will you be able to assemble enough fleets to face a big showdown? The disadvantage of the council system is that it is difficult to demonstrate the organizational power to quickly unite when a crisis is approaching.

Rubbing first on who is in charge, then rubbing again on who pays how much money. Worst of all, Karamara may not even be able to form one large fleet.

The speed with which the Allied fleet will invade will allow Karamara to cut the grace time for interception. General Sherguil laughed lightly that a quick attack on the miraculous turf sand would cause Karamara to panic if it came too early than anticipated.

And it came to pass, one day after that, that he came to Karamara.

"--Enemy Ship Miyu!

At last, the report was released.

Information about enemy ship discoveries is quickly conveyed to the fleet, leading to an uncontrolled shift to combat posture.

Fu, you're finally here.

Beyond the horizon, looking at the enemy fleet, which can also be seen from the bridge, Shargar smiles with his teeth peeled out.

It is much closer to Karamara than originally planned for combat waters.

This will be the first and last place to launch a fleet duel. If we can break through, the Allied fleet will remain in a straight line to the port of Karamara.

What is the size of the enemy fleet?

"As far as I can tell, less than half of us. Learn more"

Receive and spread parchment with search results.

After all, it seems that Karamara has come out in such a hurry. At a glance, we can see that the number of ships mobilized is such as whether we can manage to exceed half of Karamara's total battle force, which we have investigated and studied over the years.

Had Zanadu been alive, he would have formed a large fleet of Karamara defenses with a single Crane voice and hurried out. That way, the number of ships is almost mutually reinforcing. It is up to the goddess to decide whether to win or lose.

"Kukuku... fuhahaha! The result of entrusting the administration to both the Congressman and other golden widows is this! They're in danger of the survival of their country, and they can only pull this many out!!

Shargar is certain of victory.

Neither carelessness nor chronicity. The power difference is simply more than double. With years of resentment, our morale is at its peak.

There is no shortage of weather or sand flow in everything.

Now, even if you are not a famous general like Shagheer, no matter what kind of general, no matter what kind of fool you are, the victory is unshakeable. You can win without giving any orders and just stick it straight in.

Rather, I'd rather ask you to tell me how I can defeat this situation.

"--After all the stupid country fishermen who call Atlas Fleet. We defend Grand Duke Karamara and are the Knights of Chaos."

The voice of a man echoes brightly in clear cloudless weather.

It soon became apparent that it was coming from the Karamara fleet by large-scale loudspeaker magic.

"Quickly turn around and return to your hometown of Doe Country. That way, you won't have to give up your dignity, which is more important than life. Like you, there is no chance of winning."

"Hahaha! Did you notice the desperate power differential before? They're watching this big fleet and screaming for surrender!

The sailors burst into laughter after being caught by Shargyle.

With such an advantage, you can laugh at no matter how much insult you shout. The Karamara believe that even during this period, their arrogant mouth alone will make us obey.

Even the anger has passed, and it is even more pathetic.

"My name is Zenongart Zanadu. It is a golden shield that protects the Pandemonium as a Knights of Chaos leader."

"Zenongart... that famous Rank 5. Hmm, you should keep your adventurous style in the cave. Apparently, the kid doesn't know what the real battlefield is."

Adventurers are argued to be the strongest in Karamara, but in neighboring countries without dungeons, men fighting in the sandy sea are the warriors to be proud of.

No matter how strong Rank 5 is, it has to be said that Zenongart's party, which is only a pair of five, is different from Admiral Shargar, who holds tens of thousands of generals.

"This is the first and last warning. Fall back, now, we can still make it. Throw away that little ambition and catch one of the sand fish on a poor fishing boat and go home. That's the happiest path for you."

"--Shargil, they're saying something crazy like that, but what are we gonna do?

A bellanie with a stunning face can be seen in a communication facility with a large crystal ball.

Telepathic communication magic devices that can communicate with ships in real-time are one of the secrets underpinning Shargar's remarkable command abilities, known as the "Gin's Great Agito". Even Atlas Width boasts that this state-of-the-art ship, the Kaiser Krul, is the only ship with this number and accuracy.

For the formation of this big fleet, we are lending equipment to flagships in various countries to communicate immediately.

Shargyle opened her mouth and barked joyfully at the crystal ball that showed Bellanie.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, Bellanie, but as I told you before, I've found an enemy ship, so our Gin Atlas fleet will take the lead and attack!

"Damn, I thought you said that. I can't help it, I'll give you the good stuff."

Beginning with Bellanie, other generals agreed.

Naturally, none of them was truly warned by Zenongart.

"Full ahead! Show your little adventurer what you can see! Karamara, your glory ends today!!

Ooooooo!!, and the big fleet storms.

The magic of the wind hits the sail here and there, accelerating it all at once. A giant warship made of wood and armed with steel will have nothing to stop it if it goes fast.

If anyone could stop this massive fleet, there would be only one goddess manipulating the driftsand of the Great Desert.

"... hey, what's the matter, it's slowing down! Yeah, what's the wind man doing!!

After decades of fighting on the ship, Shargail quickly realized that the ship was slowing down, albeit slightly.

During this historic duel, Shargill raised his anger about what slowing down means.

"The wind surgeon is a total mobilizer and we are sailing!

"Report! The flow of sand is slowly slowing down!

"Hmm, what... what is it?!?

It just seemed impossible.

Is this big flow suddenly decaying? There's no such stupid story. Having spent time on board since his birth, Shargyle has a deep understanding of the flow of the Great Desert.

It's knowledge, it's experience. The flow of sand in the Atlas Great Desert keeps circulating without exhausting the flow of large veins. The flow to somewhere is always connected to somewhere.

The flow of sand stops when a small, thin, branched stream is formed with some kind of bounce, and it finally stops at the end of a long run. Any dumb sailor finds himself in a creek and immediately returns to the main stream.

"No doubt! The sand has stopped!!

"And it stopped... it stopped..."

It was an unlikely natural phenomenon that a huge river was disappearing from the middle without any precursor.

It's not just Shargar. I'm sure those who have checked the driftsand, and those who are reporting it, think that's impossible. The great desert flows endlessly. It is the common sense and faith of the people of Atlas.

The power of the goddess, who had no doubt continued to believe, was shaking.

"Well, here's the report...."

"Now what!

"Look at the sky."

"It's empty!? Now there's a mutation in the earth where the sand runs out! There's someone looking up at the sky!!

"Ah, oh... impossible... a ship so big... flew..."

The messenger looks up at the sky and murmurs with stupidity.

I don't feel very sane. However, Shargar hesitated to follow the line of sight as he continued to gaze at a point in the sky without shaking.

If you see it, if you see the same thing as him, you'll lose your mind too.

Such fears are made real by the shadows that come down to your feet -- the big, too huge shadows that are black.

"--It's too late for you. Look up with despair. The Queen of Hell."

Somewhere in Zenongart, a voice of pity silently echoed to the Atlas fleet.
