Kuro no Maou

Green Wind Moon 5.

"I am Lionel Leogueiger, king of Varna's beast, chief of the 'Fang Clan'!!"

The soft roar of the white furry Lion Beast (Warriger) echoed into the hall of the temple.

"Long time no see, Lionel. I'm still looking good, and above all, I'm fine."

In the Varna Centauri League, one of the three great clans, "the clan of the big fangs", whose former chief is a man with a big voice and body called Lionel.

He met him in the city of Salawin, just before entering the sea of Varna Forest, where he was acquainted with the case of abducting the Lion Beast and sacrificing himself to the cult "Arrow of Judgment".

It has been since that time that I've been face-to-face.

"Gahaha! Krono, don't look like you've survived another big battle.I envy growing fast as a sign of my youth! "

I have reached the age range, but is it a reflection of the death or is it just a guess?I'm sure there were a lot of things going on.

"Thank you for having a nice place for me today."

"Hey, this is Meteorfahr, where all the tribes meet.We pride ourselves on being a suitable place to invite guests from various foreign countries to come together. "

We're in a city called Meteorfahr with the original monolith of the Varna Forest Sea.Nearly in the middle of the Forest Sea, it is the most developed place where Beast Alliance tribes and merchants from other countries interact.

The temple is not an original monolith pyramid, but it is an active Pandora temple that utilizes part of another ancient ruin.The basic construction of thick cylinders and the like is the same style as those seen in sparklers, but it is the jungle tick where green cylinders crawl everywhere or where bright flowers and fruits come from.

It is the most elegant building in Meteorol and is not personally used by the general public, except when the former chief Lionel is invited to the royal ranks of other countries.

This time, it's just an informal, private meeting.....

"Excuse me. My name is Carl the Third Prince of Adamantria.It's a great honor to have you here. "

Not to mention, Carl Balog Adamantria came to the hall.

Prince of the Dwarf kingdom of Adamantria, who was missing when we visited him in battle with the Flame Oak army.

As a result of our search quest, we crawled around a narrow Ballog abandonment pit for nearly a week, and the good news is that all of it will be taken to Fiona, who was left alone on the ground.

After all, the Third Prince Carl survived and returned alone, but in this experience, he wiped out the feelings of inferiority and powerlessness toward his two brilliant brothers and achieved spiritual growth.

This time, I invited a representative from Adamantria to this gathering, but Prince Carl named him after him.

"Prince Carl, it's been a long time.It's not a public place today, so let's go without it. "

"Yes, Mr. Kurono. Careful, it hurts."

Words seem hard, but from Prince Carl's appearance of a smile with plenty of spare time, a good understanding is conveyed.

However, when we met before, I was in a position to thoroughly honor His Royal Highness the Prince, but now Prince Carl is calling me by farewell.

Certainly, I have come to be named a monarch of one country, but it is not often accepted by royalties in other countries.That's all, Karamara's name value was strong.

Anyway, nobody here is loud enough to say how verbal or polite they are.

Princes Lionel and Carl, who meet each other for the first time, greet each other gently and introduce themselves.

So, after a little chat between the three of you,

"--Looks like I'm the last one.I'm sorry I'm late. "

"No, it's on time. Never mind, Brigitte."

This is Brigitte Mistrea, Farren's last guest.

As always, it is a brown exotic beauty.Every time I look at her face, I remember being colored, so I'm still thrilled when I stare at her.

The original monolith in Morrigan, Farren's old capital, was also used when returning to Sparta, so Brigitte and I have only just met each other recently.Avoid long reunion greetings.

"Once again, I am grateful that you have come all the way from various countries.Everyone wants to introduce another person here. "

Now that the three invitees have gathered, I can finally introduce you to me.

He went into the hall, flipped the red cloak, and entered with a majestic step.

"I am King Wilhart Tristan Sparda -----"

Now we have four dignitaries: Sparda, Farren, Adamantria, Varna, and others.With all my heart, I'll play my part.

Nevertheless, it is not an atmosphere that suddenly cuts out the subject matter.

First, dinner will be held in the hall.

No matter how familiar they are, they each have the status and title of representative of each country.As the organizer, I prepared the food without wearing a thread on the gold.

Well, it was Queen Pandemonium Lily who made the budget, and our servant Homuncruz, headed by Saliel, who cooked it.

Neither Lily nor Fiona accompanied me today because I'm not going to a fight.Lily said that she had a lot of work to do and that Fiona would set up a new workshop.

Sariel is my maid, escort and main chef, so I'm here with her.After that, I brought in my "Heavy Cavalry (Catapults)" and a group of servants.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm no longer in a position to walk alone, and I realized when I got to the guard, I saw Primes stretching out.

Anyway, not since the meal started, but for a while.

Relaxing and enjoyable times pass with each status report, unparalleled chat, etc.

However, my thoughts are faint to all three gathered.I didn't seem to suggest anything in particular, but it naturally turned into an atmosphere where I cut out the subject.

"Everyone gathered here today has a report and a favor to fold in -- actually, I'm under the protection of Mia the Demon King."

I already told the Pandemonium that I am the Devil.

But I didn't go out of my way to declare it to other countries.There's no good in being blindfolded.

However, we must inform the countries that have already officially opened national relations with the Pandemonium and entered into alliances.

The Pandemonium was not an urban state, but a territory of the Elrod Empire.

"With the protection of Demon King Mia, I will name the Demon King and proclaim the resurrection of the Elrod Empire in 'Avalon of the Extinct Realm'."

That's why you can't even tell me to obey me.

"I want Farren, Adamantria and Varna to approve this and once again form an alliance with the Elrod Empire."

What is needed is for a man named Krono to be recognized as the Devil King, truly blessed by Mia the Devil King.If I'm a neutral country without national communications or a hostile country that fell into the hands of the Cross, I can't admit that I'm the Devil King, but it doesn't matter.

But if you are to be an ally, you must seek understanding.Chrono is the emperor of the Elrod Empire, who owns the empire capital Avalon and Pandemonium.

"We, Sparda, have already recognised the Demon King Kurono and have re-signed the Golden Sword Alliance with the Elrod Empire.However, now that we have lost all our territory and become an asylum government in the Pandemonium... our surviving Spartan compatriots still believe in Krono the Demon King and unite to reclaim their territory. "

I brought Will to testify that Sparda has officially admitted the Demon King Kurono.

Though destroyed by the Crusades, royalties, including King Wilhart and Charlotte, ministers, the Knights of the Guards, the Spartans of the capital defense, and tens of thousands of Spartans moved to the Pandemonium as a whole.The Spartan asylum government is comparable in size to a small country.

Of course, it's just an opportunity to introduce Will to the three of us.

Since my Elrod Empire is essentially based on the outrageous system of governance of Her Majesty Queen Lily's brainwashing, there is a very serious shortage of 'trustworthy people'.

So, in addition to putting together a Spartan asylum government, Will will have a lot of cooperation.Will is too precious to be trusted by me and Lily.From now on, I want you to serve as the devil's chief of staff.

"I see... but when you name the Devil, it's a big shot, Chrono."

"I didn't think I was just an adventurer just because I climbed to the king of one country...."

Princes Lionel and Carl don't think it's a stupid lie, but they don't believe it in their heads.

Rather, I'm guessing that I have some purpose in naming the Demon King than really being the Demon King.

Well, of course. Demon King is too legendary to be truly believed unless it has the evidence and persuasiveness it deserves.

"Farren acknowledges and supports Kronor as the new demon king and the rightful successor to Emperor Elrod."

"Well, Miss Brigitte admitted it quite a bit."

"I wonder... did you already know?"

"Yes, that's right. When Kurono-sama visited Farren for the first time, I was convinced that he was the next demon king to be granted the protection of the demon king Mia."

Oh, my God!

Then, from that time onwards, Kurono-sama had already been granted the protection of Mia the Demon King.

Prince Lionel and Prince Carl are surprised, but so am I.

What, did they already know you were given Mia's protection at that time?

"And I have already made a 'blood covenant' that promised to create a succession between Kronor and the Mistrea family."

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.I don't remember promising you that.

No, it can't be... I never lost to Brigitte's color scheme!

"This is a promise made between Her Majesty Queen Lily and Father Agnore... rest assured, Kronor."

"... ahh"

And I nodded heavily like that.

I remember. After destroying Bugs Brigate's nest and defeating King's Eggs Queen Butterfly, Lily was negotiating alone with the Sheriff.

I knew I owed the Bugs Brigate crusade to my success, and I only granted permission to make contact with the original Monolith....

"With Kurono-sama finally raising her name as the Devil King, we decided that the time had come.In accordance with the Blood Covenant, my Farren pledges to cooperate with His Majesty King Chrono. "

Well, Lily, you were negotiating in anticipation of this.

Brigitte colored me to bring in 'strong blood' from the outside.Lily undoubtedly advertised me as Pandora's strongest blood, the rightful and most powerful representative of blood, blessed with the protection of Demon King Mia.

And the Mistrea clan want the blood of the man who gave the protection of such a demon king.

If I was truly in the right position to name the Devil King, I would mention a country called Farren and cooperate.That's how the Blood Covenant was concluded.

"Hah... really, Lily..."

Don't tell me Lily sold me.

Given her feelings, it would be the worst situation I would definitely want to avoid having children with other women.

But even if he bent his monopoly, he thought I needed an ally, and he must have made a promise like this.I'll make Brigitte and the kids, and that's all I can do to get Farren on my side.It is an unprecedented cost performance.But if we ignore each other's feelings,

Lily must have been the one who had the most pain.The jealous queen gave me to Brigitte, albeit temporarily.

Then I will never waste Lily's readiness and decision.

"Chrono, honestly, I envy you."

Don't say that, Will.

Yeah, well, Brigitte's no different than a beauty.It would be too rude for her to have to do so because I promised.

Speaking of which, is it okay if I don't put up with her color scheme anymore?

"Why, have you already tied the edges?It makes sense to support them. "

"Yes, marriage is the basis of the nation's bond.Speaking of mistreatment, Farren is a family of great priests comparable to royalty.As a political marriage, you will have enough personality. "

Lionel and Carl seem convinced of my relationship with Brigitte.

It's just a problem even if it's broken, so I'd appreciate it if you understood.

"Does this mean I have to give someone to my wife?"

"Hmm, it's a shame my older brother couldn't dictate the witch."

"No, wait, I'm not asking for that at all.If I could make an alliance stronger after I was recognized as the Devil King. "

"Hmm, but if we don't get married, we'll need proof of it."

"Yes, personally, I don't think it would be strange for me to be a demon king if I were Kurono-sama, but it's a different matter for everyone to understand."

"Oh, so I'm going to receive a protection ritual at the Pandora Temple in each country."

"If that's the case, I'll perform the ritual and show you the proof right now."

Brigitte smiles. Because she is a witch, this is her specialty.

Prove it to both Prince Lionel and Prince Carl first, and it will be easier to take it with you when you get back.

"No, you don't have to. Chrono is already a benefactor of our family.If you have honored and proven the protection of the demon king Mia, it will suffice to acknowledge the birth of a new demon king. "

"As for Adamantoria, that's right... if that witch is accompanied, it will never get in the way.Of course, we will prepare the ritual at the largest Pandora shrine in the country.Once proven, the Alliance will go a long way. "

"Thank you. I'm glad we got this together."

First of all, I think I've made arrangements to prove my demon king.If Princes Brigitte, Lionel and Carl talk to each other, things will go smoothly.This gathering is a kind of plain rooting for that.

However, even if I were recognized as the Devil King and could make my alliance stronger... it depends on how much more military might the Elrod Empire have.

Once an alliance is formed, should I dare call it the Imperial Army or, no, the Demon King Army?You will be working on organizing and nurturing it.

Of course, in parallel, I have to prepare further apostolic countermeasures myself....

"How dare you... how dare you show your face before the rest!!"

King Jin Atlas raised his anger by stripping ferocious fangs.

Even though it was already middle-aged, the crocodile lizardman opened his mouth and the roar echoed in the hall of the palace.

"Your Majesty is furious.Please accept everything you want.But that's all I'm saying.As Grand Admiral, I, Chargaile Carthahar, have made the best decision. "

General Shargyle, kneeling before the King, is as majestic as he was before his departure.

However, the attitude of not saying that there is no remorse at all is increasingly obstructed by the king.

"It's the best decision!?Don't bullshit me like that!Atlas Allied Fleet, with such a large army, leading the greatest and most powerful battle force in history and surrendering completely without a single battle... you are inferior to the Schomben Recruits, most cowardly incompetence!! "

The King's ear has already received reports of the defeat of the Atlas Alliance fleet.

Nevertheless, it was not until today that a formal communication from the Alliance fleet was communicated by the returning General Shargill himself.

The coalition fleet, sent out confidently to fulfill its grief ambitions, finally lost contact with the prospect of a smooth voyage and arrival in Karamara a few days earlier.

The first week is good.Delivering information from Karamara, in the heart of the faraway Great Desert, to the kingdom of Jin Atlas in the west is difficult.When it comes to war, it's only natural that we tend to stay in touch.

That's why I launched a new ship of messages many times -- none of them came back to the kingdom.

Meanwhile, transactions from Karamara to various countries were proceeding without delay.Despite an unprecedented and backward army called the Allied Fleet attacking.

As if there had been no war, the merchants were moving in and out.

Then the merchant from Karamara tells the story.To Gin Atlas, and to the twelve nations that made alliances.

The Atlas fleet surrendered completely before Her Majesty the Queen of Pandemonium without a single battle, and there was no battle at all.

The coalition fleet that descended on the enemy was caught in full, and the soldiers were all taken prisoner without leaving a single dead body.

There's something incredible going on in Russia.Even if I think calmly, I can't believe it, and above all, I don't want to believe it.

But there is no way that the king of the temple can go to confirm it with his own eyes, and all the rumors of defeat from the merchants can be heard.

A handicapped and deaf Carlamara merchant, the reality that they are waving their hands and doing business tells us, above all, that the Allied fleet attack failed.

And today, Grand Admiral Shargail finally publicly reported the worst defeat in Atlas' history.

"Yea, I wonder how much more I've broken my heart for this fight! And you 're--"

"Your Majesty, please reprimand the general around here.Now, if there are any messengers over there. "

When I opened my mouth, I perceived that there were still some signs of verbal abuse, or there was a thin, old neighbor, who beat up the king.

I glanced at him with angry eyes, but I didn't yell at him much.Fushuu, exhaling deeply with a sound that might even come out of smoke, looked again at the "messenger" standing in front of the hall.

"... hmm, let's hear it."

The king's eyes are of young children with fairy feathers.

Though I thought such a small child was out of place, it is a kind of magical creature with a young appearance and unchanged appearance.

Everything, I heard that the fairy queen is ruling the pandemonium because of Karamara, so I don't think it's strange to send the fairy clan to the messenger, so I was allowed to see.

The Kingdoms of Gin Atlas are here today, accompanied not only by General Shagail, but also by an envoy to discuss the treatment of this pandemonium invasion.

The total surrender of the Atlas fleet has already proved a great defeat, but the King's attitude is still honorable to the messengers themselves.

Meanwhile, the fairy messenger opened his mouth with a lovely smile while shaking his long platinum blonde hair in his young beauty.

"I'm Lily the Queen of the Pandemonium.I came to get Jin Atlas. "

"What do you mean...."

A fairy girl named after a queen speaks more honorably than a king.

"If you come down honestly to the Elrod Empire, I will not call you king, but I will recognize you as the ruler here."

What happens if I disobey?It will be conveyed without daring.

"I have no idea what you're talking about.They call it the Elrod Empire, or their intention to be rude to the rest of us. "

I was able to upside down in one word and order you to bite him on the spot.

However, the opponent is a possible pandemonium messenger.I think it's not the stage to break up the negotiations yet, and for the first time, I calm my feelings about trying to find the truth.

"Your Majesty, never defy Queen Lily ---"

"Ah, shut up, you traitor!!"

Shargyle's words ruined the corner and calm down.

Unexpectedly, the king grabbed the cup that was near him and threw it at Shergueil, who knelt down.

Lynn made a clear sound and rolled to the floor without a cup of gold embedded with jewels.Without hitting a lowered crocodile head.

Lily was sheltering Shargar by the fairy boundaries (Oracle Field) that were spread out.

Very nice view.

I was thrown a cup and prevented it.Lily smiled as if she didn't know such a thing at all.

"... um, this is the best view I've ever seen."

I doubt what to say all of a sudden, but I chose to talk for the first time.

Moreover, it is true that the view from this hall is wonderful, and I am proud to say that it is the best location in the palace.

The palace is built near the summit of Mount Rock on a cliff wall.From a high altitude, the steep, rough valleys approach the left and right, and Atlas's vast sandy ocean spreads straight ahead.

But most notably, on the other side of the desert.

It was filled with beautiful blue and green.

"It's a beautiful lake.It's called "Atlas's Big Crystal."

Ufufu, she smiled softly, and Lily looked at the big lake under her eyes.

The clear blue waters are illuminated by the sparkling desert sun.A large, yet beautiful, circular lake.This is also the largest oasis in the Atlas Desert.

Green spreads over a considerable area, centered on the lake.There were also ponds and rivers, creating the widest arable land in Atlas.

The kingdom of Gin Atlas enjoys the richest benefits of the mercy of a desert goddess named Oasis.

Far more glorious than ancient times, Oasis, which is the center of glory and still the place to support the people of the kingdom, may rightly be called the Holy Land.

The central lake is particularly sacred and only the Pandora Temple, built to honor the goddess Atlas, is allowed to stand beside it.

Lily pointed to the sacred lake that supports the kingdom, both spiritually and physically.

Get out of here.

Just one word, so Lily murmured.

It was for a moment that I wondered what it was.

Those gathered in the hall soon know the meaning of the word. No, it reminds me.

"Mh, what... the lake... is that stupid!?"

Unexpectedly, I floated my hips from the throne.

It must never be a natural mutation.

The water level of the lake, the foundation of the Jin Atlas, was lowered.

It was much better if you were out of your mind, or if you were blind, or if you were crazy.

The water of the lake disappears.As if there were holes in the bottom of the barrel, the number of lakes is gradually lowering at a visible rate.

The lake disappears. That was a desperate view.

"You should think slowly about going down to my Demon King in the Elrod Empire.I'll wait for you, forever. "

Does an innocent smile make you feel so evil?

In Lily's words, the king froze his spine.Unexpectedly, you're going to want to round your tail.

"Please have mercy, Queen Lily.If that lake is lost, my kingdom dries up in an instant, no, before that, what will happen to the people in despair..... "

No one can shout, "I don't know what to say anymore."Rather, I think you often told me who caused this mutation in heaven and earth.

The king, the minister, and even the guard knight understood this.

Why did the hero of the kingdom, General Shargyle, who was called the "Gin's Ooghito", lose?

You can't win. Destroy the sacred lake, and become a powerful opponent like a demon.

"Is it the king's role to decide the fate of the kingdom?"

It's up to you to decide whether or not a nation called Jin Atlas will perish.

Lily's eyes speak eloquently above all else.

Well then, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the next country.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

From the hall with a large open view, the sudden appearance in the blue sky becomes apparent to everyone.

It's a huge ship.A super giant ship was flying in the sky, as if it had a whole castle on it.

"Your Majesty, that is in the ancient weapon Queen Lily revived, the Sky Battleship Shangri-La.Look, those big guns lined up on the deck are also regaining their immense destructive power.If that's the case, the capital itself, rather than the palace, will instantly become a sea of fire. "

"Nh, ah... ahh..."

With the spill of the lake and the immense weaponry of the ancient sky, the King abandoned his majesty and nothing to hide his dismay and agitation.

Until a moment ago, he had sent the greatest look of hatred and contempt to Shargar, but now he was looking at the kingdom's proud generals in a gruesome way.

"Your Majesty, please be careful.As Grand Admiral, I surrendered altogether, seeing that Queen Lily, who freely manipulated the desert itself, had no chance of winning.It's all about our beloved soldiers, our people, not a single useless sacrifice... so make your decision now. "

Shargyle looked up at the king with a strong eye, saying he didn't even have time to worry.

And King Jin Atlas understands.The king is now forced to decide the fate of his country.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!Queen Lily's power extends throughout our country!Not only the lake, but all the Oasis of Gin Atlas can be dried up today!! "

Behind the shouting Shagail was a sacred lake that was already about to cut its water level by half.

There will be no more desperate sight to remind the kingdom of its demise.

"... surrender"

And he ascended from the sandalwood upon which the throne was set, and the king put his hand against the floor, and fell down on all fours.

Then I raised the pin and the tail high.

It was a gesture of maximum obedience in the crocodile lizardman dezeldil species.

The kingdom of Jin Atlas, the centuries-old ruler of the Great Desert, completely crushed his ambition at this time.

I understood that no matter how I scratched my feet, I had no chance of winning, I could not disobey, and that the absolute existence holds the life and death of the country itself.

"My kingdom of Gin Atlas will surrender completely to the Elrod Empire - His Majesty King Lily Demon"

"I'm not the Devil."

The negotiation went well, but Lily wanted to explain it a little more politely so that she wouldn't be mistaken next time.
