Kuro no Maou
Episode 846: Mithril Mine (2)
The situation was one-sided.It could be called almost a massacre.
”Hahaha! Eat it!!!!!”
"Hahaha!Fly! ---- [Burning Impact]!! "
After all, it was Kai of "Wing Road" and Gustav of "Iron Demon Group" who were at the forefront.As a rank 5 adventurer together, the two orthodox power fighters weren't enough for a mere blackened sword, so they lent out a big blackened sword for the "Great Demon Sword (Buster Sword Arts)".
Kicking out the swarm of enemy soldiers to clear up the anger of the humiliated slave.
In addition to the perfect ambush, many of the slaves had swords and weapons, and the Avalon soldiers were unable to deal with the revolt at once.Each small unit scattered for surveillance and vigilance slammed together and was instantly annihilated.
In simple numbers, this is the upper hand.We need to muster our forces and deal with it before it can be quelled, but we still don't have that much movement.
While they're stuck on their right, we'll have to wipe out more and more of their valuable power.
"You guys follow me!"Let's keep going to Honmaru! "
"We're over here." Just go and free the armory. "
The two of them not only wielded their own power, but also kept the chain of command firmly in place.
They are now enslaved, but until the other day they were good soldiers defending Fort Galahad.You get your weapon, and when the battle starts, there's no one to be scared of.With Kai and Gustav at the top, the two units move quickly.
Although it was good to give them a weapon and make up their minds, being able to mobilize slaves as a fighting force was a major anxiety factor, but it ended in utter grief.As a demon king, you must lead the oppressed Spardas!Even if I don't say anything, everyone is moving optimally, so I don't have to tell you anything.
Because of the proud Spada people, I don't have a job.
"... I'll take care of the cover fire..."
I was the only one who could cover them with a ranged attack, since they were all forcibly equipped with a single sword.Therefore, I decided to return the [beheading] that I was giving to the enemy with the intention of slashing ahead and engaging in light work just by shooting [The Greed].
"With that kind of courage, things are going well." How about you? "
"Breaking through the front gate, complete." We are now going to take control of the administration building. "
The main team's strategy seemed to be going well.
Me and Fiona are acting alone, so it's Sariel's job to lead the main force.We've got Neneka on the comms team, and I'm sure they've already confirmed our situation on a live and intense broadcast.
The squadron consists of about 150 individual squadrons, made up of selected Homunculus soldiers, along with former Avalon Knight Resistance selected by Chris, and Braveheart's crew, led by Elwood.It is not just 150 people.It was 150 people who combined the elites of pandemonium, avalon, and spada.
Even without Fiona, our crew, fully equipped with an ancient weapon, will have enough firepower.It's not a full-fledged fortress, but it can be broken instantly by the shootout of launchers, such as the front gate of the mining site.
If Chris and Ellywood lead their platoons and charge in, the main gate will be broken.
"I'm also heading to the administration building."We'll meet up and besiege them. "
Roger
Communication terminated.
The main management building of the enemy to be aimed at is already at the end of the eyes and nose.Without hesitation, he marches with thousands of slaves.
"Good to see you!" Sparda's brothers and sisters! "
Isn't that Lieutenant Elwood?
[Braveheart] is here!
Haha, you won!
The Sparda classmates are even more excited when they see the figure of "Brave Heart" led by Ellywood, who Date is not called the most elite.You will believe that a friendly friend has really come to your aid.
Have you hardened your defenses against the boulders?
“Yes, if we just charge in like this, we'll do more damage.”
Rendezvous with the main force and surround the administration building.Without issuing an attack order yet, we were stuck together.
Surrounded by simple forts and bulwarks, the administration building is as defensive as a small fortress.Sarriel is right, it would take a lot of damage just to push into the momentum.I can still drop them, but it's not good to increase the number of dead in a situation like this.
"---- Successor to Avalon Soldier." Surrender quickly.You are already under siege. "
So, what we need to do here is surrender.
It's clear to everyone that the tide of battle has already been set.
The slave who was captured here rose up without a single slave, and the armory that was liberated supplied him with Jangjang equipment, and at first, he regained his form and pride not as a rebel slave, but as a Sparda soldier at one end.
If you can't stand our offensive, you'll know you're just a soldier, standing in a cage in a fortress-like administration building.
"If you surrender, your life will be saved."We have already decided on our victory or our defeat. Please don't uselessly resist ---- "
"---- Yes, shut up! We will never give in to the demons!"Soldiers, do not listen to the whisper of the devil!! "
A frightening scream echoed.
The administration building has a loudspeaker to get the voices out to the mining site.Originally, it was meant to be used to instruct evacuation immediately in the event of an accident... but this time, it was used to quickly convey orders to the soldiers.
"I am the deputy officer directly responsible for this Mithril mine from the Duke of Arkwright!"And as a pious crucifix, God will never abandon me in my priesthood!Believe it, brave Avalon soldiers!If you endure this misery for a while now, you will definitely be able to reach for your salvation!! "
Thanks for introducing yourself.
It's really a crucifixion, but I didn't say anything wrong to keep the soldiers.The basics of the castle were waiting for reinforcements from the outside.
We'll never let our allies get away with this, and we'll make sure the reinforcements rush to help us.The morale of the soldiers guarding the castle depends on making them believe it.
In fact, the Baron's biggest source of income, the Mithrill Mine, will not be abandoned.But if you're going to rush us with a rescue team just to help the rest of us out here, then that's what's going to happen.
In the unlikely event that this happens, the information itself that this place is now in trouble because of the slave revolt has yet to be conveyed anywhere.If we really attack, this fortress will fall in less than half a day.
No matter how hard you try, they're already packed.Eye or Mass with whimsical whims, as long as they don't flash out. Chiara.
"I don't think I'm going to break it.I can't help but ask Fiona to drop it in the "Golden Sun" (All Soleil). "
“That's the best way to minimize our damage.However, the administration building will collapse. "
"You can rebuild it again." The Baron of Spiral Horn will forgive you for the damage. "
There's no substitute for human life.
That's why I waited for a while while I called the management building demolition contractor.
"Defend it! Defend it!"Like a slave of a filthy demon race, we aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?No, what are you doing? Stop it! "
The deputy's voice suddenly turned into a pathetic scream when he was shouting to stand up from the loudspeaker.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Well, if you can order a total defense in this situation, it's not strange.
Phewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--
A man screamed and fell as he split the window on the top floor of the administration building.
A slightly flashy white ensemble must be an indication of a Crucified Priest.The bald head, the fat, ugly body shape, was convincingly, not a substitute, but an evil substitute.
Such an evil priest was trapped by the force of gravity and decided to free fall for several tens of meters, before being slammed to the ground with a vivid sound.
"Hey, Chrono-kun, it's been a long time. I'm so glad you're here to help me."
"Is that... Falchius?"
A refreshing tenor voice is emitted from the loudspeaker in response to the screams of a deafening deputy.
Calling me by name, standing by the broken window and waving cheerfully was Falchius, the popular number one gladiator, who was unknown to Sparda.
I heard that he was also imprisoned as a slave... but apparently, he wasn't a mine slave, and it was for dressing up beautifully and enjoying himself.What kind of sketchy nun's clothes are they?
There was no soot stain on Falchius' face, and there was a beauty that was as radiant as before.
"I wonder if I should call you Demon King now."As a Sparda man, let me help you with a little effort. "
"Thank you, Falcius. Thank you for staying safe."
“Well, there are still commanders here, but how many more will you be willing to surrender?”
Apparently, Falchius was surrounded as a puppeteer, so he was in the place where the great officer gathered.
Idiots or fools. Without a collar or a shackle, Sparda's greatest gladiator.Our headquarters was conquered from the beginning.
As a matter of course, when the second person was about to be thrown, the Demon King's merciful surrender advice was accepted.
"---- This Christophe Dammed Spiral Horn, I will never forget the grace of saving your troubles for the rest of my life"
"Ugh... Father!" I really want to be safe and good!
Oh, Chris!
"Father!!"
"Chris, uuuuuu!!"
Father and daughter are a moving reunion.
After successfully unlocking the Mithrill Mine, we headed straight for the Baron's Castle and the Spiral Horn Mansion.
As expected, there was a human nobleman here who had been entrusted with the Baron's realm, but he returned from slavery to the Sparda army, and he could not resist our assault, which had increased in strength, and soon fell.
Rescue the Baron's family from below Christophe, who was imprisoned in the cellar here after the capture.Chris was able to reunite with his family safely.
Let me go to the main point after we are happy together in tears.
Of course, we will also join the Liberation Army of the Uncle Bordeaux.
Baron Christophe offered his cooperation one or two times.That's right, there's no way I'd support King Nero if I were to run into him like this.
Depending on the time spent in captivity, the baron, who must have been a typical dwarf, such as the mustache of a muscle, seems a little stuck.He didn't seem to have been tortured badly, but he was definitely treated the same as a mine slave.
I'm sorry that I'm having a discussion about deciding my own progress and retreat without resting my mind and body even though I've been liberated, but I'm in a situation where I'll be fighting for a while.After understanding that, it was also felt that the baron was an aristocrat who did not show the tired gesture at all.
You're a good dad, Chris.
"That said, as you know, our territory is completely disturbed."The ministers and knights are scattered, and it will be difficult to provide a cohesive force immediately. ”
"Don't worry, for the time being, I don't mind if you focus on rebuilding the Baron's Realm."Defend a part of the liberated Spardas as a temporary Knight Regiment.I'll send you the supplies you need. "
"Oh, you can do that... again, thank you."
That doesn't mean greedy aristocrats don't come in here to make trouble.
It will take some time for the Duke of Arkwright, who knows that the Mithril mine has been recaptured, to send out a group of soldiers to capture it again.
But the adjacent nobility saw this as a good opportunity and immediately attacked us.The baron's defenses are torn apart, and it's hard to keep hundreds of small crowds out of the way.
It's only a matter of attractive resources, but the Baron's family was imprisoned and kept alive thanks to the Mithrill mine.In the future, the Baron would have a lot of information to ask, and he might have planned to keep his family hostage.The Baron, who is a dwarf himself and has made enormous amounts of money in the Mithrill mine over the years, knows the development and operation of this place better than anyone else.It was fortunate that an ungrateful person came to judge that it was more profitable to use than the faith of the demonic race to kill.
"We'll be on our way to the next territory where we may be asked to help."
"I want to raise my realm and entertain you, but under these circumstances, I can't help it."Good luck, Demon King. "
"Oh, I'm sorry, Chris... I need Christina's help."She'll be with us until she releases Avalon. "
"Chris is my beloved daughter, but he is also a knight of Avalon.In this national disaster, it is your responsibility to fight for your life.Chris, work hard. "
"Yes, Father!"
This will allow Chris to focus on his liberation battle without any grief.
However, there are many aristocrats in Avalon who resemble Baron Christophe.More than that, there are a large number of Sparda slaves.
We must unleash ourselves quickly and prepare ourselves for the invasion of the capital.
Fortunately, we now have a pool of soldiers.There were also Gustav, Falchius and Ace in Kai.From here, we'll be able to break through head-on, including the Avalon forces that are holding back each territory.Let's go with the momentum of attacking time.
---- Demon King, I'm ready.
Neneka flew underneath me with a tired expression, shining her wings.
"Thank you."
"Do you do this every time?" It's super Mendoza, though. "
"That's my job."
"Hah... I'm starting to want to go back to the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden)."I wonder if the Demon King's army will stop and go home. "
"Please, I'll do the fruit tart when I'm done."
"Add mead, too."
"All right, all right."
"Absolutely, I promised you, didn't I?That's it--watching the comms! "
With a strange mechanical sound, a magic circle shining in pale green was painted at Neneka's landed feet.
This is a communication device, officially a "prototype telepathic amplification long-range communication device".
The exterior is just a barrel.It is a real wine barrel, and if you twist the cock, it will actually produce cheap red wine.Of course, this gimmick, which also comes out of appearance and wine, is all about disguised carrying.
As the name suggests, the contents of this one are magic items to amplify telepathy and make it reach longer distances.Of course, it was manufactured by the Magic Development Bureau led by Simon.
In pandemonium, the mass production of main weapons such as guns and machine guns began, and artisans who had evacuated from Sparda and other craftsmen are being strengthened.Simon doesn't have to do anything until he manages those commands.His main task now is to develop and design new equipment for the Imperial Army.
There are a number of things that I would like to research for practical application, mainly ancient weapons, but if I am curious, I will not have enough time to deal with human monsters and, above all, animals.Therefore, Lily and I consulted and prioritized the development.
Among them, this telepathic communication device was built as a top priority.
With Operation Avalon's sudden liberation, we are still prototyping it, but we have decided to put it to some practical use.
The structure is simple.It was once used as a temporary telepathic receiver using crystals as a material during the Alsatian defense battle, but it is basically the same as the Alsatian battle.
Telepathic and affinity ore and magic stones are tapped into the gold without threading the threads, and the quality is not shattered even after a long talk.
Without a telepathic fairy herself, it was simply a jewelry box containing expensive crystals, but my strength was that the number of fairy heads was aligned.
One set of the communication device and the fairy that uses it will allow you to interact with other communication devices.Also, since I am releasing the telepathy amplified by the communication device, if you're a fairy, you can only receive that information physically.
Nowadays, this communication device has been installed in two places: the "Maklav Enterprise" in the capital Avalon, and the mansion in the Wissendorf periphery.
Pullriel as a representative of the resistance in the capital.The Wissendorf Frontier College is to be formed as an ally of the Liberation Army.Each plays a central role in this operation to liberate Avalon.It would be natural to have a system for aggregating information under them.
"---- Long time, Baron Christophe."
W-Well, this is Uncle Boundary!
Inside the room, the figure of the Visendorf Boundary Creek is projected.
The communication equipment also contains ancient devices such as tablet terminals, which are produced in large numbers from the Carlamara Great Labyrinth.With this, not only the voice, but also the opponent's appearance can be reflected.
It's just a world without radios or telephones.To show that you can communicate with a distant opponent, if you don't see the opponent, you can't understand it immediately.
The baron was in a hurry to thank the Wissendorf Boundary Boy for his sudden appearance.
Well then, let's talk about the details later.
"Don't forget the tart and the liquor."
"I know."
In response to Neneka's persistent reminder, I left the scene with Chris, smiling bitterly.
---- I see.
Rarely and quietly, Kai muttered just one word.
Then, stirring up the cup on the table all at once, he let out a big breath.
"Thanks, Chrono." It protects Sparda. "
"You can't go into a protected area."Situationally, it's pretty much the worst ".
"Hey, the Spardas are all Pandora with their temper and guts."If the country is taken, even if it is alive, it will come to take it back.That's why I want to thank you for helping me with Charles. "
Deep down, Kai lowered his head.
I'll shut up and slap him on the shoulder.You probably don't need any more words.
Khai, give me a hand.
"Of course. Use me, Chrono."I'm always on the front lines. "
Oh dear, I hope you don't forget about me.
"I need your help, Falchius."
"Fufu, as the Demon King said."That's right, I'll dedicate my sword to this occasion and let the knight formally do it for me. "
Seriously or jokingly, I can't tell by that beautiful smile.
The night I released the Mithrill mine, as a friend, I invited the two of them to my room.There's also talk about accumulation and so on.
I will hurry, but I will not leave on the same day.We need a new army, and we need some rest for the Spardas we liberated.One day, but tomorrow is a rest day, and we're ready to go to the next destination.
That is why, after speaking with Baron Christophe, I set up an opportunity to meet and talk with them personally.
You want to know what happened to Sparda after the fall of the Galahad Fortress, and I want to know more about what the two of you have done so far.
For the time being, I'm just finishing my explanation.Declared the Demon King, retreated completely from Sparda, and now proclaims the founding of the Elrod Empire and moves against the Crusaders, as part of this effort to liberate Avalon.
"We don't have anything to talk about."I was taken prisoner, sold as a slave, and whipped while I was mining mythrills. "
Kai says it's not funny as he pours himself a jab-jab of ale that doesn't know how many times it's going to be.
But you weren't just a slave, were you?
"That's right... well, I guess."
Khai continued to speak, frowning as if he had been poked in pain.
"I met Nero."
"Did I tell you to come down?"
"Yeah. If you say no, it's Zama."
But if I wanted to, I would have been released anytime.
That's why you're talking about kidding me, right?
Kai drank once more, as if to mislead the irritated by the booze.
I know how it feels, Kai and Nero.
With the power of the Apostle, Nero is trying to move everything conveniently for himself.So I tried to forgive Khai if he came back to me.No, it's a little different from forgiveness.In the first place, Nero doesn't put his teeth on anyone who is hostile to him.It's the most powerful thing I've ever seen.
Even if Kai turned the blade as a Sparda, from Nero's point of view, he only captured the feeling that his friend was stretching out and twitching.
Of course, Kai did the same for Charles and Nell.Don't even think about how prepared he is for what he won't do.
"It's still a long way to go to oppose Nero."I mean, if I can come back soon, I'll be in serious trouble. "
A big expedition... I don't know if that's ridiculous.
When you heard Chrono's demon king proclamation, you must've been nervous anyway.
Why is Nero so nervous when I call myself the Demon King?
Rather, I thought that I was an ambitious man who was aiming for an evil demon king, and that I would be delighted with the big win in my own mistaken reasoning.
"Nero was aiming for the Demon King when he was a kid."It's pretty serious. "
"I see... but you were a kid, right?"
"No, no, Chrono-kun." Since I was a child, I have a strong feeling that I can't give in, and I have a heavy obsession with it. "
Well, if you say so, it might be.
Since I was a child, my interest may completely fade, and on the contrary, my interest as a child may last for a long time.You probably don't even know what's going to form the root of the person.
What you were aiming for is that you gave up along the way, right?
”Oh, that was just... when Nero and Nell went to the seminary together”
Before that, Nero had worked hard to reach the highest altitude in Pandora, the demon king.
In the first place, it seems that from the time when Kai met Nero as a child, he had a strong aspiration and natural talent to become a demon king.
"When I was a kid, I was more stupid than I am now, so I just enjoyed playing with Nero anyway.That's why I noticed how much he's really brushed his strength since we met again at the seminary. ”
Kai was a hardcore swordsmanship idiot, and the Galbrays' family at their parents' home had an educational policy of swordsmanship anyway.The combination of talent education and talent, and the absence of children of the same age who can deal with Kai, is a natural result.
That's why Nero, who can beat himself like that, was my best friend.
"At that time, Nero was an impotent bastard who completely lost his mind."I don't know what would have happened if Shal hadn't forced her to pull her and make her an adventurer. "
I see. In short, did Prince Nero experience the frustration of giving up becoming a demon king when he had a 'something' before studying abroad?
“Does Khai know what that setback is?”
If I knew, I'd have told you.
"It's about that prideful prince."I'll never tell anyone about my failures. ”
"...... because of that, I can't take care of it by putting it into the crucifixion."
"That's why I have to stop him."I can't watch Nero do anything stupid anymore. "
I don't have much interaction with Nero.From the very beginning, it was attached to him, but eventually it remained dangerous without being dissolved, and eventually he became the worst enemy of the Apostle.
But for Kai, Nero was his best friend.If there's a way to save him, or to make amends, I'd be happy to go along with it.
"Charlotte volunteered with the Imperial Army saying that Nero would kill the opponent to show it."
"As always, you're confidently insisting that you can't do anything... if Charles does it, I'll do it."
"I'm sorry, but I can't promise."The Apostle will be sure to kill you if he has a chance. "
"I know, I won't say it."No matter who hates him, there's no resentment. "
Nero had already come to an irreversible point.
The girl in love, the boy in love, and my sister in love are all ready to kill Nero and stop her.
Nero, I'm assuming you're the only one who can go back to the way you remember your birthday.
Maybe I should say, "Poor thing."
That day, that moment, that moment... if Nero hadn't even awakened to the Apostle, he might still have been able to recover.You said you lost to me and exposed me, and there was no one around you who would let go.
"Nero and I will definitely have time to settle this."It will be a big showdown between my Imperial army and his Neo-Avalon army. ”
"Yeah, I know, Chrono-kun.We can only get Sparda back if we win it. "
"I'll take Nero down, and I'll get Sparda back."Excellent, I'll fight as hard as I can.After all, I can only fight with my sword. "
"Oh, I can count on you both."
If Rudra were here, we could form Blade Master again.
It was a night that seemed like a good night for a man's friendship.
