Kuro no Maou

The 7th day of the Ice Crystal month.

An alliance was formally concluded between Sparda and Pandemonium.

A pledge signed and stamped in blood by both Leonhard Tristan Sparda, King of Sparda, and Lily, Queen of Pandemonium, was exchanged at the Temple of Pandora in Sparda.

I stood off to the side and watched the historic moment, applauding as I did so.

The generals and ministers on the Spada side, and the senators and Josephs on the Pandemonium side, applauded the conclusion of the alliance between the two countries.

Thus, the alliance between Sparda and Pandemonium, named the "Golden Sword Alliance," was formed.

As a result, in the event of an emergency, a certain number of Pandemonium troops could be quickly deployed to Sparda's side. In the event that the pandemonium is in trouble, Sparda can rush to the scene,......, but since the area around Atlas is already in Lily's hands, it is unlikely that a war will break out on this side.

Then, the expansion of the transfer magic circle between Sparda and Pandemonium also started.

Currently, the transfer is only open between the original monoliths in the royal castle, but it can be used in other monoliths in the country. We'll have to do some work on the monoliths to make them usable, but if they're as big as the park monoliths we saw for the first time in Sparda, we'll be able to use them soon.

They've already started to use the transference in the royal castle to trade in rare goods. If the number of transfer stations increases, the traffic between the two countries will become even more active, and the volume of trade will increase.

At any rate, diplomatic relations and trade with Sparda is not my area of expertise, so I won't get too involved. I'll leave that to Zanarius and the other members of the council who have been turned into "good kids" by Lily.

Now that the alliance is in place, we need to make sure that our reinforcements are dependable. A total of 1,500 Pandemonium troops are available for immediate deployment, and their training and equipment are being enhanced as a top priority.

The Knights of Chaos, led by Zenon Galt, are an elite group consisting only of rank 3 and above. For this expedition to Sparda, they were provided with the highest grade of equipment that had been seized or donated by the rich people who were senators.

They were given the highest-grade equipment that had been seized or donated from the rich people who used to be senators. In addition, exercises are being held to train the knights in group combat.

With the best equipment already provided and the promise of huge rewards, the morale of the Knights is high. However, the one who is most enthusiastic about it is our Knight Commander, Zenon Galt.

We are no longer free-spirited adventurers or mercenaries. We are knights of Pandemonium who have sworn allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Lily. Therefore, we must fulfill our mission to defeat the invaders who call themselves the Crusaders and protect the continent of Pandora!

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm sure you'll have a great time. Deeply understandable. ......

Anyway, I'm sure that Zenoongarde will be responsible for training up the Knights of Chaos.

What I'm worried about is the Pandemonium Army of 1,000 people, which is made up of ordinary people who were just drafted into the army and are not as talented as them.

To be precise, it consists of the homunculus assigned as the officer in command, the military police who were originally nominally in charge of maintaining security in Kara Mara, and the conscripted common soldiers.

The Kempeitai has a good number of people, but those with rank 4 or higher are resistant to brainwashing magic, so they were transferred to the Grand Duke's territory as soon as possible. In the event that you've got a lot of money, you're going to need to be able to pay for it.

As long as there is Lily's brainwashing magic, "All for One," the occurrence of crime in Chuo City is theoretically 0%, but there are always irregularities. In order to be prepared for this, it is said that a certain amount of capable people must be in the military police.

As such, the former members of the Military Police assigned to the Pandemonium Army are, on average, rank 2 in their abilities. They are better than the new adventurers who are just amateurs, but they are not as reliable as veterans.

In other words, most of the Pandemonium army is made up of rank 2 adventurers and rank 1 amateurs.

In order to use them as a full-fledged force, training alone would be the limit. They don't have the time to begin with.

So they are equipped with guns.

There are only enough of the ancient EA series of firearms for the homunculi, and there are not enough of the actual weapons to distribute to a thousand people.

Therefore, they are equipped with the mass-produced Crow Rifle, a modern gun perfected by Simon.

A single soldier of Pandemonium doesn't need to be able to use a spear or a bow. They only needed to be able to use this gun.

Immediately, Simon flew to Pandemonium, and on the same day, he holed up in the third level of Factoria, where he worked on the construction and guidance of a rifle production factory.

Until the factory was up and running, he bought all the rifles already produced at the Mordred Arms Company factory in Sparda and supplied them to the Pandemonium army.

The soldiers were sequentially trained to use the rifles.

The rifle factories on the third level, the first and second, were already completed and in operation thanks to Simon's efforts and blacksmiths from all over the country. In another two weeks, they will have enough rifles for a thousand people.

Of course, along with the rifles, machine guns designed for mass production are being made at the same time. Of course, the number of machine guns is much smaller than rifles, but just having a few of them will make a big difference in the war effort.

As for the machine guns, I plan to take as many as I can as so-called support firearms.

As for the pandemonium army, I'm leaving that to Lily and the homunculus. Since Lily became queen, many homunculi from Destiny Land have come here in transit. I don't know exactly how many homunculus are working in Pandemonium right now.

However, I am certain that they are fulfilling their duties as Lily's loyal servants day in and day out. The homunculus has become a politically and militarily important part of Lily's administration.

So pandemonium is the brainwashed people being controlled by the puppet homunculus. It's a complete dystopia.

But I affirmed the dystopia of hell that Lily had created.

This is how it has to be. This is all we can do. In order to counter the Crusaders, a completely unified nation was necessary, even if it meant twisting the free will of the people who lived in Kara-Mara.

I can't be the Ash who forgot everything. I'm just a human being who knows defeat and knows his limits. There's not much I can do on my own, and I don't have the power or the means to realize my ideals.

So I just do the best I can right now. And Lily has responded to me. The responsibility is all mine. Even if everyone denies her, I will affirm, forgive, and accept her.

But that doesn't mean I can do much. The only person who can run the country of Pandemonium is Lily. She is already a great queen.

So, I'll do what I can do.

Even if I'm not the king, I'm the leader of the "Dark Knights".

The 25th day of the Ice Crystal Month. The first level of the Grand Labyrinth, the "Undead City".

The first level of the Great Labyrinth, the "Undead City", where the collapsing buildings stand in the middle of the main street, Zenon Galt and I were facing each other.

"Now I will surpass you.

I don't know about you, but the game is not over yet.

In my hand, I have the Zetsu Grudge Hatchet. In my hand, I hold the Conquest Sword, and Zeno Galt holds the Conquest Sword. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The fierce slashing match between the two rank 5s continues, but no decision has been made yet.

Zennon Galt is a bit more skilled in swordsmanship. He hasn't been an adventurer since he was a boy. I, on the other hand, have a slight advantage in overall strength, including the use of black magic and entanglement.

Originally, Zenon Galt was blessed by the god Kara Mala, but now all of his power has been lost. He can no longer use the World Dimension, the Rule of Gold, or any of his other enhancements or magic, so he is weaker than he used to be.

Yes, even if it is weakened, this is it. It's just that Lily and Fiona took on the challenge together.

No, the game has already been won.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

"Ugh. ...... Master, I'm so sorry. ......

"Prim?　No way, you're hit.

The voice that sounded like it was out of breath belonged to Prim.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

The ---- is not going to happen!

"Hey!

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

"Well done, Ilan.

"Heh, yay!

A beautiful girl with red hair and a smile like a sunflower. Ilan, the swordsman. He is a member of the Golden Dawn.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.

"I'm sorry, Xeno-sama. But I defeated all the cavalrymen and that ancient armored kid.

The big armored helmet that appeared right behind me said in a cute girl's voice tone.

The blue and white phosphorescence of the flashy blue and gold armor helmets indicates that they are real Ancient Gear. It's bigger than the Hellhound, and it's something Shangri-La never had.

Senna, the "Heavy Knight," is driving the ancient armor. She is also one of the members.

The Golden Dawn's vanguard team is now all here.

"Damn, my cataphract squad got wiped out. ......

It's not just the cavalry. It's not just the cavalry, Wendy has already eliminated your sorcerer squad. And the main infantry unit is still fighting with my knights. ---- Crono, you're on your own now.

It looks like you're right.

I'm not sure what to do. In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to take advantage of it.

It was a complete error in judgment on my part.

"Surrender!

I told you, the game is still up in the air. If I defeat you, I win.

Well, then, you can fight me all you want.

---- fast!

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I'm not sure what to do.

"Boost!

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

Senna, who had already raised her battle axe, was closing in on them from behind. And after Ayran, Zenongardt is also making a move.

I'm taking on three rank 5 adventurers by myself. If I don't keep moving, I'll be crushed by their coordinated attacks in no time.

Fortunately, this is a ruined city. There are plenty of shields. With their power, they could easily cut through the concrete walls and attack, but it would be more meaningful if they could simply cut off our line of sight.

Don't get surrounded. I can only deal with two of them at once. If three people attack at the same time, I won't be able to handle it.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?　You can't defeat me if you keep running around!

A blatant provocation. However, I couldn't ignore it.

Aylan, with his superior speed, runs through walls, kicks the ceiling, and attacks with his three-dimensional mobility in all directions, even in a small room.

This time, we must give victory to Zeno-sama!

With her overwhelming power and armor, Senna is able to break through walls without a care in the world and attack.

She rattles through walls, kicks away debris, and comes at you from behind, putting a lot of pressure on you.

But the one to watch out for the most is ----

---- "Shin Issen (El Slash)

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web.

It was a good thing that I jumped, but there was a wall right ahead of me. It was not going to be a cool landing. I made up my mind and plunged with all my might.

I make a loud noise and crash through the wall, and after a couple of turns, I get up.

When I got up, I found myself on the main street where I had originally been.

"How dare you persist against the three of us? It seems that the name "Nightmare Berserker" is not too shabby.

I don't really like it when you call me that.

"No need to be modest, you can be proud of it. But I'm going to win this one.

I was driven back to the main street, where I had a good view of the city, and I was surrounded by a triangle with Zenon Galt in front, Aylan on my right and Senna on my left. I doubt if they'll let me jump to the building again.

In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

A shining, sharp magic arrow.

I'm not sure what to make of it. It doesn't hurt. But I can't move it anymore.

"Tina, you missed on purpose.

Yes, because I have to hand over to Zeno-kun.

How long had he been there? I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

"I've had Tina lurking here from the start. She used to be in the bandit class. She's good at stealth.

Oh, my God, Xeno, I can't believe you remembered that.

I'm in the middle of something here.

Don't be flirting with me, Zeno Galt, after you've driven people to their deaths.

Well, maybe I can't speak for others, either.

I'm not sure if I can speak for others, but ---- has completely cornered me. You can't turn the tables on them now. Unless you use a spell.

No, you won't. ...... That's the rule.

Hmm, well then, this is it, Crono ----.

---- Sorry, Fiona, you can't win. We'll call it a draw.

All right, then, be my guest.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'm not sure I could have seen that Tina was lurking from the start, but I wouldn't have known that Fiona was here either.

That's true. Fiona just got here.

But I'm aware of the situation. That's why I had already done the chanting.

"---- 'Golden Sun (All Soleil)'.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.

What the hell is this?

Aww. ......

Xeno, run!

I'm not letting you get away with this. ---- "Hydra Bind

While running away, he released the blackening process he had been steadily working on.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

Tina is a little far away, so she can't touch it. However, the general's head is XENONGARDT. If I can defeat him, that's all I need.

I'm also a general, so I can't win.

I can't win because I'm also the general. "Hey Crono, who would let you shoot the general?

It's better to blow yourself up than to lose. Good job, Fiona. I love you.

"No, not really.

As I listened to Fiona's leisurely reply, I, or rather we, were swallowed by a huge, golden fireball ----.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and money. The only thing is that they are quite expensive, but with the financial power of the economic powerhouse of Kara-Mara, they have already secured enough to handle the exercises between the knights.

What I can do now is to train the "Dark Knight Order" that I lead. That's all I've been concentrating on this month.

I've been doing a lot of things, including exercises like this one, and using the Grand Labyrinth for actual battles against monsters. Thanks to this, I feel I've gotten quite used to leading the knights.

However, since all of them are homunculus who are faithful to orders, they will be more than adequate no matter who leads them. If the subordinates are too good, there's no room for the boss.

"Zenon Galt, that was a good match. From a tactical standpoint, I've lost completely.

"In the end, sometimes it's the individual that decides the outcome. Let's just accept the result as a draw.

At the end of the exercise, Zenon Galt and I shook hands.

In the past few exercises we've done, we've won. The reason for this was simply because our side was all armed with ancient weapons.

There is no group equipped with ancient weapons on such a scale in Pandora today. In other words, this is the first time that they have not established the know-how and countermeasures to fight. That's why we were able to win.

But in terms of the quality of the knights, the Chaos Knights, who are mainly rank 3 or above, are better. My homunculus is excellent, but it hasn't been born for even a year. They lack experience in actual combat by far. They have yet to grow in physical and magical strength. In their bare state, they are inferior to experienced adventurers.

That's why I've been winning by taking advantage of the fact that my opponent is an ancient weapon that I'm not used to, but it seems that I've reached my limit.

Zeno Galt is strong in his own right, but he is also very good at analysis and troop command. Because he is an adventurer, his experience in dealing with monsters he has never seen before has trained his powers of observation and analysis.

It also seems that Zenon Galt, who planned to rule Kara-Mara later on and embark on the unification of the continent as the Demon King, continued to train to lead a certain number of people into battle. When the number of monsters surged in the Great Labyrinth, he led adventurers and mercenaries with whom he had a cooperative relationship, and experienced large-scale battles.

A man with strong ambition and natural talent, he has been striving to become a demon king. There was no way he was weak. It is only natural that he is strong. Once again, I think he's worthy of being the strongest adventurer in Kara-Mara.

If it weren't for Lily, Zenon Galt would have won Kara Mara. ...... Yes, if it weren't for Lily, ......

"Next time, we'll have a complete victory.

I'm really going to lose this game. I'll train my knights too.

And so it was when they were discussing the results of the exercise.

"Dispatch!

Without any greeting or salute, a black-clad homunculus shouted loudly and came over.

There was no need to thank him. I only looked at the messenger.

I just looked at the messenger and gave a small nod.

The Crusaders of Daedalus have moved. The crusaders of Daedalus have made their move. They have sailed for the fortress of Galahad with an army of over 100,000 men.

"So they're finally on the move.

I thought it was about time.

I've prepared for it, and I've prepared for it. Now all we have to do is take on the challenge. The Sixth Galahad War. ----
