Kuro no Maou

Episode 812 Gatekeeper (1)

The 9th of the month of fresh water.

By the time it was dawn, I had finally arrived at Sparta, the capital.

I can't say I made it.The Crusades have already broken through the third bulkhead, the outer wall surrounding the capital, and have collapsed into the city.At this point, you can say that the battle trend has already been decided.

How much more can I let you escape?I don't know how long I can keep him alive.

Yesterday night, it became apparent that countless deaths would have occurred by the fires rising from the city.

Still, I came back from Dakia to save a lot of people.

The Western Great Main Gate of Sparda, which came through when the battle was fought, is largely open.This pre-dawn time is usually closed, though.

Has the guard guarding the gate been destroyed?Or was it close to defending and fighting?There is no sign of such a fierce struggle, and the area around the open gate is idle.

Apparently, the people who broke in from here are already inside the city.

Mary dives through the unmanned main gate, turning it into a black wind.

"Master, stay on West Boulevard. Go to the main gate of the second barrier in the school district.We are currently defending the gate, but we are no longer holding it.Many citizens are evacuating to Pandemonium at Gate Square. "

A telepathic transmission from Sariel arrived at the covered helm.

Saliel, who can be a valuable aerial warfare force driving Tianma (Pegasus) Shiro, is first exploring the current state of the capital.So, I'll have you do my navigation running on the ground.

"Roger that, Sariel. What kind of enemies?"

"If you're a master, you can handle it."

Then don't hesitate to stick it straight in.

As soon as I ran through the city of Sparta, I could catch the sound of battle.

And the sound of the earth shaking.

Damn, did you get the taurus out?

Beyond the boulevard, you can see an unmistakably huge human form.

Fortunately, it's just one thing. Then I can handle it alone.

I've seen a lot of those abominable white Crusaders around here.But as far as I can see, it's just an infantry.Just an archer. And a few magician squads and heavy knights?

Including Taurus, if it's just a penetration, I'll be fine alone.

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

Launches a special black magic slowly crafted from the back of the taurus.

If you know, you can see the cockpit hatch.Fortress Galahad, we'll just get in there directly.

The position of the weakness is known.And he has enough power to pierce it with a single hit.Then you don't have to be afraid of huge enemies.

The fired "artillery (zero cannon)" pierced the armor and hatch, releasing the power to wipe it all out with a cockpit located behind the chest.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

and slipped through the feet of Taurus, falling flashy.

As Taurus's huge body leaned, the Crusaders around him realized that he was running away to scatter the Spider's Son.Thanks to Mary, I was able to break through the enemy without a hitch, just to get rid of the one in the way.

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

Oniisan!

Simon was on the gate.

There were also members of Gunslinger and for some reason the President of Sofia.

Others were students at the seminary who held their rifles.Sparda's Gendarmerie and Guards.The rest is a brilliantly fragmented gathering unit that feels like ordinary people who only took out their weapons and entered the war.

Well fought in this formation… Looks like Simon is leading the troops.Perhaps you have more talent for commanding than I do.

Simon, do you still have the strength to fight?

"Fight all night, everyone's at their limit.They're almost out of machine-guns. "

Well, then we'll take care of the rest.

The defeat of Taurus has disrupted the Crusaders, but within that time they will regain their posture.Dozens of idiots lay down and died.Not a big blow.

As the smoke subsides, you'll see them regrouping again.

But I'm not the only enemy you have.

Look at the sky. You see the meteor shining in the sky of dawn?

"---- Maximum irradiation (full burst)"

Lily, who flew from above, blew two chops of "Meteor Striker" and "Star Destroyer."

The two poles of light pouring down to lick the ground easily turn human soldiers into extinguishers.

Archers and magicians rush to the sky, but slowly.

From the sparkling Lily, countless "Light Arrows (Lux Sagita)" are fired and units with Ranged Attacks are shot through with a pinpoint.

After a merciless attack from the sky, the Crusaders finally began to vandalize.

"Where are they going?"

"The Crusades that came in from this side must be gathering around the seminary as a front.I think they're still part of the fight. "

"Seminary... did you hear that, Sariel?"

I also checked from here.A significant number of Crusaders are stationed.I'm sure we're starting to use it as a hub. "

Well, I'll leave it to Fiona.

"Copy that, Mr. Krono. Sariel--"

The transmission went off for tens of seconds.

Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog --

From the direction of the seminary building, a golden fire pillar and a huge smoke that had just covered it up rose.

Well, it looks like the Golden Sun exploded in the middle of most of them.

Sariel is not the only one on Pegasus.Fiona is also on the back this time.I believed that this combination, which somehow became much more friendly than it was originally, would be able to strike enemy groups from the sky well, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.This is totally a bomber now.

"In the meantime, we came back just ahead of the Element Master.In a few moments, my heavy cavalry (catapults) will catch up, and by the end of the day, the infantry will be there somehow. "

At the corner, he led the army into battle, but all of a sudden the stands were open.

However, in the worst case scenario of the Sparda raid in the capital, Elementor alone would be the fastest and most worthwhile way to go.

Of course, if we had an army on the way that we couldn't break through, we would have joined all the troops.

I was very helpful on this side.This would not have been the case if all the Crusades had been positioned to completely encircle the capital.

"Oh, good. But I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"Thanks to telepathic communications, we received word that the Galahad fortress had fallen."

So we got off to a quick start, so the Crusades were able to get into the Sparda and come back in less than a day.Of course, I flew quite a bit along the way.

"But the enemy base is over 100,000 troops.Maybe more than the fifth. "

"Ah, the Dark Knights and the Pandemonium army aren't exactly the numbers we can beat.Besides, Sparda's defenses are collapsing. "

From now on, it's impossible to push them back completely.

The Crusade Corps, which has broken through the Galahad stronghold and invaded it from the east, must have a larger number of more powerful troops.

And above all, the Eighth Apostle Eye is leading them.

"Still, I'll do what I can. Even if it's a losing battle, one of us will kill them and run away."

I ran across the noble city with anger and screams all by myself.

Above his head was Sariel with Fiona.

Lily left Simon and the others in the Gate Square.Rendezvous with the incoming heavy cavalry and the subsequent infantry and enter under Lily's command.

Before that, even if the Crusades attack again, Lily will be able to hold on.

"Please, don't let them break through yet."

I'm heading to the east gate of the Second Wall.That is, where the Crusade Corps is launching a fierce attack, breaking through the Galahad Fortress and breaking through the Great Main Gate with the same momentum.

If we get out of here, the noble city will fall into the hands of the enemy in no time.That way, the castle will finally be all that remains.

The Spartans are concentrating all their soldiers on East Gate defenses to stop this.Simon had to defend the gates with an instant squad, because even the guards who were supposed to defend them were pulled out.

It's an unusual exploitation, but otherwise, we're still in enough trouble to be pulled out.

I don't know how long we can stand it when we rush to support it... but that's where I have to fight right now.

"--I saw it."

Okay, the gate hasn't been breached yet.

But it's really close. Robust steel giant gates are skewed about how hard they were attacked and even cracked a few muscles.

Above the barrier, I also saw the Crusader walking in with a flicker of ladders.Now we're still managing to deal with the intruders... but it looks like they're already on the verge of falling.

It was just after I thought that if the gates were still safe, I would still be able to endure a little more.

Don't! Don! Don! Don!

A dazzling flash bursts into the gate in succession.

It's not just a magical attack.Probably a combined magic (Union) dedicated to destroying the castle gates, unleashed with the help of the Warlock squad.One, two, not much.Those fishing bottles.

The Magic Strike for Siege Castle finally exceeds the Gate's endurance limit.The chattered gate is finally turning up loudly and falling down with a roar.

The door itself is broken, and the hinge must have broken the limit.The distorted gate, which lost its support, completely lost its role in preventing the enemy.

Oooooooooooooooooooo!!!

The flashy blow of the main gate brings out the great cheers of the Crusades.

In contrast, the Spartan Guards are in a mood to scream.

Whether or not the castle gate is broken is a decisive turning point in the battle against the castle.If that were achieved, it could essentially be a defeat on the defense side.

We should abandon this site immediately and retreat to the last remaining First Wall, the walls of Sparda's Royal Castle.

"No, not yet -----"

I can still hold it down. I can.Only I can do it.

It may be a little different to say that you are already ready.

Crusaders. My intestines were boiling back when I saw them wandering around this capital Sparda.

A city that was defeated in Alsace and ran for its life.And then I got up again, and I met new people.There are countless memories here -- that's why I'm definitely not cool right now.

I can't help it if I want to hit them with this boiling rage.

If I had been the leader of the regiment, I would have suppressed it.Yes, I can't be so reckless.You can't put your people in danger.

But we're here now.Only Element Master.

Fine then. Give me a little sweetness, Lily, Fiona, Saliel.Follow me, driven by this senseless passion.

"--Let's go, Mary. Fly, Storm Demon King (Oversky)"

Kodaka raised her head and Mary responded to my indiscretion.

The stepped hoof smashed the cobblestone and she jumped with me in this cursed heavy armor.It's like running through heaven.

Sparda's garrison is deployed in front of the gate.Over their lightly rising thousands, Mary jumps over them in a black wind and dives through a further destroyed main gate.

Right in front of you is a crusade force that has just begun to attack.It's turning into a white tsunami, and it's about to burst into flames.

I mean, I jumped in front of them on a single horse.

"If you want to get through here, you'll have to take me down... 'Charged Particulate Dragon Cannon (Plasma Breath)', Fire"

Unleash The Glide Lightning Gun Form (Mode Blaster Gil) loaded with Ultra-Electromagnetic Warheads (Gil Barrett).

Now that you have broken through the gate, a super-compressed thunderbolt is sweeping away a large group of infantry who will attack us first to gain combat skills.It's not as powerful as Chainmail and Circuit.

From the front row, dozens and dozens of them turn into charcoal and wipe out the enemies in front of them.After the "charged particulate dragon gun (plasma brace)", which was slowly and largely released sideways, passed by, the ground in front of it was heated red for about 100 meters.There is no enemy shadow on the boiling red ground.Too much heat, completely evaporated and left no shadow or shape.

Anyway, the guys behind it aren't all right.Though countless allies used meat shields to attenuate the power of lightning strikes, the heat was too high to just kill humans.

A person whose body has melted in half or suffered a severe burn to the whole body.Beyond those deadly herds of seriously wounded, I saw them screaming and rolling around with their coats and clothes on fire.

Hundreds of allies were turned into extinguished charcoal in a single blow, and the momentum was crushed by the boulder into a hellish sight of burning companions.

Speaking of which, even when you had the Golden Sun (All Soleil) in Alsace, you were stunned for a while and didn't move right away.Don't freak out. I don't have as much firepower as Fiona.

"--Nah, what was that!?"

Enemy Magic!

"Quickly lower the wounded!Prepare your Warlock Troops for the next attack! "

"Stupid bastard, can you easily prevent such a powerful attack!?"

On the other side, where smoke rises from the red-heated ground, the Crusaders can hear it even if they cannot hear it.

The chase is over now. If I'm going to protect this place, I want to blacken it as much as I can.

"Converted to sheep, 'Machine Gun Form (Mode Gatling Gore)'.Cool my barrel.I'll shoot you again. "

"Understood, master. Would you like to call Senpai?"

The helmet display shows a sheep with a clear face.

This time, the "Maximilian Armor" helmet remains covered.It would be more convenient to use this helmet, which also has various display functions, when exchanging information through telepathic communication.

"Look, sheep. As far as I can see, they're all enemies."

I shredded quite a few of them with a single blow, but this is only a polar part of the army. I was just a little scared by the jab at the tip of the nose of a monster named Crusade over 100,000.

Even those who attacked Alsace continued their attack.The Crusades here outnumber even the myriad Dakia Rat Corps.

Oh, yeah, thanks to what I did with those rats, I couldn't kill as many of them as I wanted, and that's when I practiced my best trick.

"I'll tell you the tombguard song -- come on, 'Horned Grave'"

The call from the shadows came from a black sword.

Grasp the pattern with your right hand and shake it gently from the horse, and the creepy roar will leak from the blade that trembles slightly.

On Mary, she holds "Horned Grave" in her right hand and "The Greed" in her left hand and looks at the new Crusaders coming out to replace the run-down avant-garde.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What a horrible knight. What a horrible knight.

"No, he can't be just a knight."

"Yes, the power to cast great magic on that evil and extreme appearance.Must be an enemy general! "

The Crusaders are chatting to Zawazawa against me, guarding the gate on a single horse.

If that number of allies on the boulder were quickly extinguished, they would have lost the momentum to attack.

Mary the Immortal Horse, wearing the Armor of the Tyrant (Maximilian), I would be a visual reflection of the demonic tribe, which is more understandable and wicked than ever, if I were to come from those who love the sacred white.

Actually, I'm not a Spartan general or anything, but if I put such a prominent enemy in front of me, some of them will freak out--

"Oh, don't be frightened! That's exactly what the devil is the enemy of God!Who the hell is that creepy devil general?If you beat this up, the reward is beyond hope!! "

Behind the line of soldiers. As far as I could see, a great cross priest in a luxurious suit shouted to inspire the soldiers.

No matter how much reward they say, it would be a good place to be just a miscellaneous soldier.

"Hahahaha! Fall back, you bastards!Great Hogan-sama's street!! "

A good man jumped out to break the soldiers.

Like me, he was a knight with full body armor across a fine body horse.

Heavy armor like the Heavy Knight.But instead of their bucket helmets, they wore helmets with two horns like magnificent cows, and it was an allergic armor design with spikes on it.

It seems that wearing such clearly bespoke armor has more power than just knights, gold, standing, and more.

"I am the Great Hogan, one of the Ten Brave Men of Monocles, the Storm's Flaming Axe!Come on, demon generals, let's have a ride with me!! "

I didn't know the Crusades had a one-horn culture.

Daedalus lost the battle of Gordoran, and the Dragon King Garvinal and the Seventh Apostle Saliel seemed to have knocked him down, but I thought that was the exception.

This didn't happen in the Fifth Galahad War.However, if the core of this Crusade is a noble-centric formation, then it would not be strange for anyone to say this.

I don't know anything about his name, but I know he's the best knight of a man named Count Monterey.

No matter what kind of nobility you serve, no matter what kind of lofty two names you have, if you are not an apostle, there is not enough to fear.

Nice ride, huh?

Thank you, Mr. Great Hogan.Thanks to you, I think I can buy time easily.

"My name is Kurono."Nightmare Berserker" Chrono.I'll take care of you. Come on. "
