Kuro no Maou

"Phew... have you managed to clean it up?All right, let's pull back now. "

Several assaults were stopped with rifle fire and the seminary was finally abandoned.

Raise your voice over the iron spider and issue a retreat order.It was like a brigade of volunteers, but by taking the lead, a full-time gendarmerie officer was able to carry out a fairly smooth withdrawal.

I almost had a haircut.

Simon, who was at the rear of the army, murmured as he heard the Crusades coming from the seminary.

The only ones we defeated were the ones driven forward by greed, or scout squads.

With its vast grounds, the seminary is also a facility that can accommodate a large number of soldiers, and its buildings are robust.Perhaps a large army has come to secure it as a temporary forward command post.

The crusade is dominated by an army that has infiltrated through the main gate of Tokyo University, but those who have flowed in from one direction of the school district will be slightly more than 10,000 in total.

In the Fifth Galahad War, the Crusades were general lords of the Sinclair Republic, the Count of Bergundt.This time, it is also thought to be a configuration centered on the Sinclair nobility.

Then the Crusades currently invading Sparta will be in a state where participating nobles are competing with us first.I don't think there is much coordination across the board, but it is difficult to cope in this situation where the number of troops invades at their own discretion is not ready for defense.

I think those who took over the seminary will stay there for a while, but there may be another group coming.

"Please, don't let the army come..."

Simon's wish came to heaven.

After that, we succeeded in reaching the second barrier safely by repeating sporadic battles.

With Simon on the Iron Spider at the back of the hall, the evacuees have arrived safely.

However, there was something wrong with the front of the second barrier, which people were groaning about.

"Hey, why are there so many people!?We have to get inside! "

"Kid, it looks like you're kind of rubbing at the gate.Ahhh, maybe ----"

"Eh, I can't believe it...."

And I thought, Simon, who divided himself into people, and proceeded to the gate.

Beyond the crowd were gates that were not closed, but gates that were barred and sealed.

"What are you doing? Close the gate!"

"Our enemies are approaching!Hurry up!! "

"But I can't shut down this many refugees....."

"If you put so many people in, enemies will come!"

"Hey, give me your name! I'll complain to the royal castle individually!!"

"My mansion is right there!If the enemy should come aboard, will you be responsible!! "

On the other side, between the bars, there was another hellish sight that was different from the battlefield.

And the inhabitants of the city of nobility, as their names suggest, are nobles.

Few have titles and territories, such as elite officials who work for the royal castle and large merchants who have stores here.A mere civilian is just a person with a distinct identity or position.

And now here, they were shouting, "Close the gates completely and shut the evacuees."

It is obvious that these are the people who live near this second barrier.He is well dressed and can be seen as a servant or a slave.A neighborhood like this cannot stand to become a battlefield.Besides, enemies collapse into the avalanche by breaking through the gate.

I understand your anxiety.

But, but it is.

Can you tell me to abandon my fellow countrymen who have just been driven away by a terrible enemy?

Simon felt dizzy before the ugliness of those who ran from fear and anxiety to self-defense only.

"Excuse me, please open the gate.We still have time to accommodate everyone here. "

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

"Elf kid, don't say anything you want!"

"Don't open it, never open it!!"

"Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared! Close the gate, please!!"

My teeth came out, and a whisper came out.

But Simon has no intention of persuading them.There is no difference from the first excited beast, such as someone who has become emotional.

"The Spartans have abandoned their fleeing people!Are you telling me that such an order is really coming out!! "

So Simon sued the guards guarding this gate.

He is the captain of an armor helmet who has been showering the residents with a big chorus of "Close the Gate."

"I'm sorry, but I don't have the authority to close or open the gates."

"Isn't that right, Guard Captain!?"

"The captain has long gone to rescue the Imperial Castle!The deputy captain and the veterans responded to the request for reinforcements!I'm just a squad leader... and I don't know what to do. "

"But I'm sure some of you have already put it in.Didn't the president of the Mordored Arms Chamber bring people first? "

Looking at them briefly, it is judged that they have already evacuated due to the relocation, as they do not appear.

If Mordored had been here, he would have pushed through the gate without asking questions.

"Oh, that's right. I had quite a few people with me.So I started to get them inside, and this is the commotion. "

I didn't know you'd let me escape in advance in this way.

I wonder if the people around here have also become anxious because the combined number of people has arrived at once.

"That's why you're not allowed to lock out the evacuees."

"Then give me a formal order!If you'll shut them up, I'll open them right now! "

The guard platoon leader screams like that.His face behind the helmet is quite young.I will be a teenager.

The guard he leads is no different from the students at the seminary.Perhaps, suddenly, the actual battle is tough, such as the new American troops.

I want to know one thing about leaving only these newcomers behind, but now the enemy is approaching the royal castle.It may be a natural decision for Spartans to abandon gates that are still invisible to the enemy and enter the battlefield.

"... listen, you're the only one who can open this gate and save a lot of Spartans right now.You will regret it for the rest of your life.But if you open the gate, we'll fight here together. "

"Ugh, well, that's...."

Calmly pointed out, the platoon captain's youth is clearly shaking.

There is no one here to give orders.We have to decide for ourselves.

"Hey! Don't say anything you want, kid!!"

"We're nobles!Civilians deserve to defend their nobles and fight! "

"You guys go somewhere else!It's annoying to be gathered here! "

"Hey, don't open it!It's all your fault!You know what, huh!? "

The platoon captain's decision is stopped by those who shout for their own safety, without shame or audience.

As a matter of fact, they'll be better off.

Beyond living in such a location near the Second Barrier, even with a real title, the baron with a small countryside in the territory is refined, but much more powerful and influential than the newcomer in the Guard.Their anger makes it easy to crush their future.

Otherwise, if you're stuck in a situation like this, you can't make cool decisions or be prepared.He was too young to do it.

After all, there's nothing we can do if we don't actually shut them up.

I tried to set up the "Thunderbird" that I carried, but I managed to remember it.Exercise of power is a real last resort.I want to believe that there is still a little more time.

"My name is Simon Friedrich Bardier, and I am the four men of the House of Sparda's Four Nobles, Bardier.We are responsible.Please open the gate. "

"If so, is it the Valdier's house...?"

"That's a lie! That's a lie!"

"Let me out of your mouth. It's disgraceful to name a nobleman, it's civilized!"

"How cowardly of you to lie so clearly!"

"It's true. I also have an Alliance card."

Simon's guild cards were issued at the Sparda School District Branch.

It is an adventurer guild with very slow registration, but it is not acceptable to deceive the name of the great aristocracy of your country and register it at all.

The inscription of the name "Valdier" in the Sparda Adventurers Guild issue was too much evidence to prove authentic to the family.

"Oh, are you really the Valdier's little lady...."

I don't like that way of saying it.

"Hey, don't be fooled!It's a fake anyway! "

"This stupid young man can't be more persistent!"

"Yes, I can't leave this gate to these unreliable people!I'll close the gate, you, get out of there now!! "

Whether the limits of patience have finally been reached, or whether you are anxious to see a platoon leader who seems to believe Simon's name, Zunzun and a man finally advance from a group of residents.

The hand is held by a flashly decorated sabre.Behind him also were those who had the same weapons.

It's stupid to pull out a weapon.

Isn't it silly of you to endure it?

Simon consolidated his determination to use Thunderbird with a feeling of astonishment over his anger.

It was then that I tried to aim at the foot of a man who stood up and threw a wolf platoon captain over the iron lattice.

--Open the gate.

Even in the midst of this upheaval, the voice of a woman still resounds.

Even in a state of excitement, there is a sense of intimidation and presence that cannot be ignored somehow, because it is also a kind of magic.

From the other side of the residents trying to close the gate, a knight appeared across the riding horse in silver sparkling armor.

No, I'm not a knight.A dark elf woman in a pure white magician costume is not a knight, but a worthy leader.

"I order you in the name of Sofia Sirius Percifar.Open the gates now and save your people. "

"Ha ha! I understand, Sir Percifar!!"

The distressed platoon captain responded softly and started acting immediately.

Naturally, the overwhelming "order" from the top, which he wanted the most, could be explained to anyone.Yes, soldiers obey orders.Therefore, if it is a formally issued order, it is executed quickly.

What do you do with neighbor complaints?

This is the request of the Four Nobles of Sparta, the Parsifal family.If you want to stop this, I told you to bring me the same great nobleman or His Majesty the King.

"Ah, ahhhh...."

"No, wait, don't open the gate...."

And none shall know the man that dwelleth in the city of the slums, nor shall he know the face of the Four Nobles.

When Sofia appeared here, they lost any say.

There is no reckless man against the lord of great nobility, who can put a finger on him.If you imitate it, you will be slashed before attacking enemies.No, if you buy the wrath of the mighty ice magician and the famous "Valkyrie Blizzard" Sofia, you will be crushed into an ice statue.

If she instructs you to open the door, you can't turn against it at the earliest.

Sophia glanced at the residents staring at the guards who still hauntingly opened the door with a cold glance from the horse.

"It's a good idea to gather here with a weapon.You want to protect this place?Then fight the aggressors with me. "

It's obvious what was going on here.

But I don't have time to blame it on purpose.

Sofia just informed them that only those who were willing to fight should remain.

"Ugh, well, this is...."

"I have a child. We need to evacuate."

"Yes, we need to evacuate to the royal castle now!"

"Hey, you pulled out your sword, so stay here and fight."

"Fuck, you're kidding! A coward who came out unarmed is going to run away on his own!?"

The men who stood up like that hurriedly threw out their weapons and retreated.Those who have no intention of acquiring weapons from Hannah, but only complain from the safety zone, start to escape first.

I finally realized that this place is going to be a battlefield.

"Hah... thank you very much, Chairman."

"Are you with me? [M]I want you to stop calling me that. "

Well then, Sophie.

Simon said with a bitter smile.

Sophie, the mysterious adventurer who was temporarily working as Simon's escort during the Fifth Galahad War, learned that Sophia was president after the battle.

After the war, he seems to have returned to the post of president, and his adventurer activities with Simon have completely disappeared... but there was no such support here.

After all, what you need is power.

Simon thought that Lily's system of controlling the people with brainwashing was terrible, but now he feels a little comfortable supporting it. Her Majesty the Queen Banzai.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm in too.Thank you so much for bringing the students here. "

"It's just how it works."

Sofia came to this place, originally to go to a seminary.

It is truly worthy of respect that the aristocratic city, the great aristocracy who has established a residence near the imperial castle, and the princess, she, have taken the trouble to come to the dangerous seminary.

"The Crusades have already taken over the seminary.I think the enemy will be here soon. "

"Unfortunately, I can't expect any support from this side.The east side is pushed by the enemy's momentum, and the second barrier is about to be breached.Even if we evacuate to the royal castle, we can't guarantee our safety. "

"It's okay, I'm transferring from the monolith there to the pandemonium.So, if only we could earn time for everyone here to transition. "

"I see, it was Lily's country.Now I can only hope for her help. "

There is great anxiety as to whether the evacuated Spartans will be able to continue their free will… Still, I think it is far better than being slaughtered by the Crusades, and Simon has nothing better to offer than a transfer evacuation.

"We will defend this gate.Sophie, can you help me? "

"Of course. Let's rebuild the combination with you. [M]Remember the Fifth Galahad War. "

With a glossy smile on Sofia, Simon was positioned to protect the weak defensive gates that only the Rookie Guard left behind.

The gate was now firmly closed.

There are no more Spartans rushing in here.I want to believe that all those living in the school district were able to evacuate to the second barrier.

Simon and his defense squad stared at the other side of the gate, still wrapped in silence, as they heard the sound of battle coming from the royal castle.

"... I'm here"

No more, a bonfire lights up across the road.The same sight I saw at the seminary earlier. The Crusades are coming.

However, the Crusades, who know that there are robust barriers here, appear to have come in a steady number without a deviant minority.

A large army that hasn't filled the boulevards.Even so, they will be only a part of the vanguard.

"--Shoot me!!"

The end of the war was thus opened.

After a battle at the main gate of the seminary, the students holding the craw rifle were able to shoot calmly to some extent.

On a tightly closed gate.Lined up on the fence, they were firing a pre-emptive strike at a crusader that was aligned at a distance of several hundred metres, utilizing its firepower and range.

I didn't think the enemy attack would fly this far.The lineup of archers collapses with butterflies -- but the numbers are too different anyway.

With their bodies shielded, a large number of archers who could not reach firearms fired arrows at the night sky.

"Arrows are coming! Shield, stand up!!"

Hold a rifle in an overturned position.The gendarmerie and guards with shields serve as a defense to cover them.

After hearing the sound of an arrow pointing forcefully at the shield, Dan starts shooting again.

A handful, though, of units equipped with guns about the barrier.You can't lose a shoot-out with a team of archers who just use bows and arrows.

You finally realized that if the bow's range wasn't good, you'd see the archers fall down one after the other.A group of spears came forward in exchange for a squadron of archers retreating down the street or into the building to escape the rays.

"The same infantry raid."

But there are far more of them than there were of them at the seminary.

In the front row is a group with big logs.Behind it are a multitude of groups with long ladders.

Logs for destroying the castle gates and ladders for crossing the walls.Minimal attack weapon.

If you only bring out that much stuff, you can tell if the opponent has the strength.

"Gunners use their range to keep firing.Leave the elimination of approaching enemies to the Warlock squad. "

However, as many infantry assaults as possible, we will also launch a machine gun crossfire.Few will be able to dive through Hellfire and approach it.

In this way, the same scene that we saw in Alsace and in the seminary just now will be repeated.

The infantry fell before the crossfire.

Still, enemies push from one to the next.An overwhelming amount of violence.

"... not good, it's spreading too far to the left and right"

Instead of breaking through the gates, troops began to climb up the ladder slightly from the left and right.

Simon and his team are small, but they are united to maintain the firepower that holds them off.

However, if we distribute this to the left and right, there is a high risk that the firepower will fall if we cannot stop the infantry assault alone.

However, if we leave the enemies coming up from the left and right, the barrier is as good as being attacked.

We have to disperse our troops and respond.

"Zach, take ten men and deal with them on the right!Captain Kempeitai, please take the left side! "

"Copy that, kid."

Okay, I'll take care of it.

I'll leave it to you. A former dick.The other is an old gendarmerie like the one I saw the gun for the first time today.

However, Zach understands the characteristics of the rifle and the Gendarmerie Captain has the ability to lead the fight on the ground.We have no choice but to leave it to those who may be able to.

At last, it looks like the Warlock squad has arrived.

"... Sophie-san, please do something."

"Ah, it's none other than you.I'll do something for you. "

Sophia, the overwhelming strength of this defense squad, has nothing more to offer than to have the enemy's sorcerer squad suppressed on its own.

No matter how much former rank 5, no, because you are an active rank 5 talented person, it is also possible to be so rude.

However, even with such indifference, Simon and the others must continue to shoot at the overwhelming number of infantry fighters who are the main enemy.

"You're so dead... why can't you stop..."

How long has it been since the battle started?

When I noticed it, the sky was getting brighter and brighter.A nightmarish night is about to open.

But the sight in front of you is a nightmare that doesn't wake up right.

Crusade soldiers continue to push against each other as they fall into one-sided fire.

The numbers increase, and more powerful ones appear.

After the sorcerer's unit, a group of heavy knights, wearing heavy armor, finally began to appear.

No, it's hard to stop a heavy knight with a machine gun.The machine gun was finally poking the ammunition into the bottom.

It was only natural that they would be eaten if they didn't get close to their enemies at an incredible rate of fire.

"Evacuation..."

Evacuation by metastasis is not over yet.

The first ones we brought have already completed the transition, but the noble city protected by the second barrier has also been attacked by the Crusades and chaos is spreading.Because of this, people are pushing in one after another to hear where the evacuation of Gateway Square came from.

If we break through here now, the catastrophe is certain.If you don't leave before you leave, that's exactly what this is about.

Zun--

And I felt that the barrier was shaking.

No, it's not my fault.Simon immediately noticed.

Because he knows the enormous existence that shakes the earth.The size, the threat.

"Ahh... did you even come out of Taurus..."

Ancient Heavy Equipment (Power Loader) "Taurus".

It is a giant steel human form that should be called the Ancient Golem in modern times.This is the ultimate siege weapon that the Crusades put into action in the Fifth Galahad War and pierced the Great Wall of the Galahad Fortress.

Even the Galahad Fortress with Sparda's most powerful army is the Zama.

There couldn't have been any way to stop the steel giant from rising from ancient times in this place, where there were only defense troops gathered like this.

"The boulder is at its limit...."

With the current power, no matter how hard you scratch, you won't win. It's not even possible to buy time.

I know, but I'm going to let the crowd gather in the square die - the fact that Simon is trembling.

Besides, I don't think I have any obligation or responsibility to bear a lot of lives, being a proud Spartan knight and nothing but an alchemist.

I did everything I could.That's it. I think I've had enough of that brazen fight.

But it still can't be saved. There is no way you can convince and accept a cruel end that would cost countless lives.

However, regardless of personal emotions, Taurus makes a loud noise with the Zunzun and gets closer and closer one step at a time.In order not to ravage Spartans who continue to resist in vain.

"We can't do this anymore, retreat -----"

It's time to put up with an unbearable feeling and say so.

There is no need to endure it.

There is no need to accept it.

A cruel end. Irrational fate.

I'll kick it all away and open the way for you to live -- that's how I felt.

"----------------------------"

Taurus took a big step and suddenly stopped moving in that position.

She raised her short leg with her torso and was in an unstable position with just one leg.Stopped walking, no, by stopping, the steel giant slowly tilts.

A taurus that suddenly stopped the moving hub as if it had been 'obliterated' as a whole.The black shadow of the horseman rushes under the giant body as it collapses.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

An overwhelming super-heavy ancient heavy machine fell overwhelmingly in the middle of the building.Raise the sound of the earth and the roar, and throw earth and smoke into the night sky in Russia -- no, it already lights up, and rises into the sky before dawn.

With the spectacular smoke behind him, the black shadow came straight to the gate.

A man in dark armor like the King of the Devils of Hell, straddling the "Nightmare of Immortality" with a dark black fur.

Black-haired by the wind, black, red, and colored eyes stared at Simon on the gate, making him smile.

"--Oh, thank goodness you're safe. I'm here to help."

Night breaks.

But the nightmare never ends. No, this is where it starts.A nightmare for the Crusades.

Thus, Nightmare Berserker arrived in the capital Sparta.
