Kuro no Maou

On the 30th of the month of Shinnyo.

We have already assembled personnel for the operation to liberate the capital.Among them were Dragon Knight (Dragon Drake) Cristina, who belonged to the Chrono Battalion, who liberated all parts of Avalon with tremendous momentum and speed, and Celis, who was convincing other nobles of his race to act differently from Chrono.

Later on, on a quiet night of waiting for the end of the operation, the two of them encircled the same table for some reason.

Well done, Sir Arkwright, on your side with your many lords.

No, I hear you've been a great help to Lion Rapidly, Miss Christina.

First of all, we exchanged the words of labor with each other, and as the Duchess's daughter and the Baroness's daughter, we had a formal conversation, but gradually the alcohol came in......

"---- Shit, that's incredible, Demon King Chrono."I'm not calling you the Devil King.

I-I see.

First of all, Christina got drunk.

Even though she was drinking at a high pace as she opened the cup with the dwarf, she wasn't strong enough on her own alcohol.It was only a dwarf criterion.

Her eyes sat on her bright red dyed cheeks.Half-open mouth with no slackness. It's a look that the opposite sex can't see.

"Since we liberated the mine, we've won a series of battles, so we're going fast."While I was going, I kicked my enemies to the next spot... it was a bit of a bone for me to follow. "

"You guys are mostly around Avalon."I can't believe how fast you're marching. "

"It seems that the pursuer was also coming out from behind?"I didn't see any shadows or shapes! "

In fact, if you look at the behavior of the Chrono Battalion over the past week, it has come at an unlikely rate and left at an unlikely rate.It was as fast as I thought it was really fighting on the ground.

But after they passed by, the Spada slaves were freed and their lords joined the rebellion.

"It's because everyone, including me, is made up of the best.Even so, we have put together different troops because His Majesty Chrono has the overwhelming strength and charisma to call himself the Demon King. "

"I know his power well, too."

The first was from the Chaos Demon Beast, the Chaos Rim Crusade.Next, I stopped the most powerful jealous queen.

You can't listen to Chrono's martial arts.Rather, it is that he wants to speak and to be heard.

If you look up close at that battle, you will especially support the Knight Sparda who respects martial arts.

"I wonder if Leonhardt, the Sword King, came back."In the depths of despair when the country is defeated, we are saving a mountain of Spardas and setting up an exile government to take care of them, so we will not hesitate to ask for a new king. ”

"Sparda is already occupied."It's best to serve Chrono as the Demon King than there is no one else to rely on...... but, Christina, what about you? "

Huh. How about that?

"If the Avalon liberation succeeds, Majesty Miriam will once again be on the throne."You will return to Knight Avalon with the truth.I'm sure you'll be the head of the Dragon Heart. "

Sparda has no homeland to defend.The king and his people survive, but Sparda is considered to be completely absorbed by the Elrod Empire.

But not Avalon.

The king himself was restored to his homeland.If everything was back together, would there be a reason to serve the demon king of the Elrod Empire?

I dreamed of becoming a Dragon Knight.

"Is that so?" Then you've already fulfilled your dreams. "

No. I really want to be the strongest Dark Dragon Knight in the service of the Demon King.

"...... Dark Dragon Knight?"

That's why my dream is coming true.

Cristina asserted with a smile that did not say whether it was or not.

Celice thought she was a Dark Dragon Knight, but she didn't think it was about listening to the details.

The important thing is that she does not intend to end up just as an Avalon Dragon Knight, but is serious about becoming a Dragon Knight in the service of Demon King Chrono.

"That's right, Avalon won't be alone in the first place."As a demon king, Chrono cannot defeat the Crusaders without the momentum to achieve continental unity. "

"Yeah... so how well do you understand the cause?"

Celice unexpectedly smiled bitterly as she poked through the pain.

In her mind, all the local nobles who had persuaded her to go around along the way had an unexpected look on their faces.

“Most people think there is no other way than to cooperate because of the current, too insolent oppression.”

It was too bad for the local nobles to start a revolt.Even with King Miriam's words, it would not be enough to decide to turn the flag against him.

After all, because there is intense demonic discrimination in the Cross religion that there is absolutely no room to incorporate, there is no choice but to resist.At least we'll get Avalon back into King Miriad's hands!There was no loyal servant who burned in such a mood.

In that case, it seems that cooperation is proceeding well?

"It's all thanks to telepathic communication."It was an easy substitute.The history of war will change. ”

Originally, it would take some time for the nobles to meet and discuss with each other.Local aristocrats living in their territory also have a physical constraint of distance.

However, when telepathic communication arrives, you can suddenly face each other with zero distance.

In this liberation operation, Celis brought King Miriad's script and launched a rebellion with the Visendorf Frontier County as his ally, but the nobleman could not be sure if the Frontier County was really concerned about it.

Originally, I would gather information myself, and make a decision after I have a rooting in my surroundings if necessary.

However, using telepathic communication, the Frontier Uncle himself immediately appeared.Fewer people nodded at the moment of momentum too quickly.

"It's a tremendous effect to be able to communicate in real time with the capital, the fringe territories, and the moving Chrono himself."In this short time, I was able to instantly establish enough rebel forces to conquer the capital... I can't believe it myself. "

"I see, I thought it would be convenient to know the situation in other places one by one during the battle."If you say so, it's a bad effect, isn't it? "

At the very least, I don't want to turn an enemy against someone who has this much information and communication ability.

Above all, it is the foresight of Chrono who introduced this telepathic communication vastly earlier.

The battlefield was so fierce that it was named the "Black Nightmare Warrior" (Nightmare Berserker).But in private, he was a good man, a slightly dull, ordinary young man.In addition, they have an innovative communications network and instantly have the skills to assemble rebel forces in the enemy country.

If you were to become a demon king who accomplished the great work of reunifying the continent, you would have to demonstrate such extraordinary qualities.

"Things are going better than expected.All you have to do is win the last fight. "

“Yes, the resurrection of Avalon and the legends of the Elrod Empire begin here!”

Christina was always in a good mood.

Celice and Cristina are both drunk overnight.Wissendorf Marginal Collar corrected the collar in front of the barrel-shaped "prototype telepathic amplification long-range communication device", which sat in the middle of the mansion's main hall.

Yes, then I'll connect you ~

Hmm, I beg of you.

"Oh no! Telepathy, delivery!"

The Fairy in charge of communications at Frontier City activated the communication machine with a carefree ringing.

"Everyone, thank you for gathering this evening."

The loud voice of the Wissendorf periphery resounded in the Great Hall.

Right now, there were dozens of Avalon nobles all over the place.Each species was different. With Elves and Dwarves, there were Goblins and Orcs.Some of them had the unusual appearance of a mixed race characteristic.And, to a lesser extent, humans.

They are the rebels who turned their backs on the crucified Neo-Avalon.

Below the periphery, there are neighbors including Baron Spiral Horn, but the others are all projecting through telepathic communication.However, by the function of accurately projecting the person's appearance, there was a reality as if he was actually here.

Not at a party hosted by royalty, such as the gathering of such a large number of nobles.

"Push your knees, flat on the ground." It is the fruit of His Majesty King Miriard. "

As the nobles knelt together, a large image was projected in front of them.

A room that is neither dim nor spacious. A man sits in a wooden armchair in the middle of it.Avalon's king, Miriam Julius Elrod, was pursued on the throne and will not return.

"Raise your face. Thank goodness you've answered my call and gathered." It is truly a cause. "

And he uttered words with majesty worthy of the king of a kingdom, but immediately a great sigh broke out.

"No, let's not fix it in this period... everyone, I'm sorry."Yuu could not fulfill his role as a king or a father..... "

"Please, Your Majesty." No one here can blame His Majesty. "

Before I knew it, Nero came to power and became Neo Avalon.Such perceptions are particularly frequent among the nobility of the region.

Nero's usurpation of the throne took place in just one day.On that day, those who were not in the royal castle at that time had no way of knowing the detailed circumstances.Since then, the sudden onset of repression of each territory has made it impossible for us to gather information.

However, they finally learned what had happened in Avalon by taking out the neo-Avalon soldier who was traveling like a harasser and connecting him to the telepathic communications.

A lurking Crucified.The betrayal of the twelve nobles that had been promised.And Nero's Apostle awakens.

Anyone who had just sang peace in Avalon had no chance of knowing anything.

"I couldn't understand my real son's feelings or make him right.As a result, he forgave the usurpation of the throne and was crowned in this country by the evil religion of the Crucifixion.Yu was taught by his fathers that the king should bear all his kingdom.In that case, it was all my iniquity that leaned on this country--but heaven did not forsake me, which was nothing but a foolish clown. "

There are many words of apology in front of them.If you give me this neck and everything will be settled, I will be happy to give my life.

But what is needed now is not such a word of repentance.

The Demon King has appeared.

Miriard is a family name after the ancient demon king Mia, who calls himself Elrod.

Even the oldest royal family in existence, after a long period of darkness, will not be able to trace its exact lineage.

I know it myself. The first king who founded this Avalon was effective in using the name of Demon King Mia, so it was just that.

Although there are several ancient treasures handed down to the royal family, none of them is proof of Mia's kinship.

However, there is a history of believing that he is the descendant of the Demon King and calling himself honorably.Everyone believes and is proud that Avalon is the only nation to inherit the Elrod Empire.

In Avalon's predicament, a man with the protection of a real demon king appeared.

"Chrono, it is up to each of you to decide if you really believe in him as the Demon King."But I want you to think carefully about what he has accomplished in this country.And I want you to know what you're going to do. "

Already Chrono took action.

Accepting the exile of King Miriad, he leapt into the enemy Neo-Avalon and took the lead in liberating the region.

Who else could have done this?Who helped me ruin it with a traitorous conspiracy?At this time, the man who called himself the Demon King was the only one to reach out for salvation.

“This is still a long way off, but let's talk about a realistic future.Avalon is betrayed by a majority of the twelve nobles, and the number of humans who fall into the cross is considerable.If we win and take back Avalon, these hostiles will be wiped out.Until recently, however, they were certainly the nobles and subjects who supported Avalon. ”

This is not about the sentiment of mercy as a fellow countryman who was born and raised in the same country.It is a story of a pure population.

"The Avalon's national power, which has lost them all, must have fallen greatly.As a reward for this liberation battle, we will share the territory of the traitors like Arkwright.Some of you will rise to the title and your territory will be multiplied.But I can't be honest with you.The enemy is coming right next to us. "

The crusaders that captured Sparda were too numerous.In addition, in the name of the "Grail Alliance," many of the city states along the Lemurian coast have turned to the forces of the Cross.

Moreover, it is clear that Nero, with his apostolic power, will lead the army of the great expedition and turn back in anger.

Immediately after the success of this liberation battle, will Avalon be able to confront these formidable opponents?

"We can't fight all the crusaders, including Nero."Therefore, as King Avalon, I will recognize Chrono as the Demon King, and enter under the umbrella of the Elrod Empire. "

I'm afraid, Your Majesty... you're not an equal ally.

When this battle is over, Avalon will not return to the Independent Nation, but will be absorbed by the Chrono Elrod Empire.No one can be honest enough to allow the historic Avalon to descend into an emerging nation, however powerful it may be.

Uncle Wissendorf asked King Miriald to speak on his behalf.

"Underneath me is the Queen, who has the highest authority in the Elrod Empire to succeed the Demon King, like the Grand Chancellor."She left me to teach.In the first place, why did Demon King Chrono come to save this Avalon? "

"That's... to get Sparda back, push the Crusaders back to Daedalus, and ultimately get rid of Pandora."Avalon is the bridgehead for that ---- "

It's Nell.

"... what about you?"

"I'm here to save Nell."The liberation of Avalon comes at a time.The Devil King's only hope is my lovely daughter, Nell. "

To King Miriald, who affirmed that, Wissendorf boundaries could not be inherited.

The other nobles started to wander a bit, but the Boundary Uncle couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Oh, is that so...?"

"That's right!" However, there is no way to do that.My daughter is the cutest, cleanest, most righteous, most beautiful and kindest princess in the world... it's only natural to want the most beautiful princess in the world. "

This place is the same as Nero, and I think Border Uncle sees King Miriald, who speaks of Nell's drowning without shame.Although it was a word to the throat, the powerful reason suppressed the disrespectful remarks.

"In other words, as long as Demon King Chrono gets his hands on Nell, he's more likely to make that decision if he doesn't mind abandoning Avalon."I wonder if you will continue to give us a huge amount of help only in your alliance to protect Avalon, who has lost power. ”

Even if we put aside for a moment how serious the motive of coming to help Nell was, the concerns that King Miriam spoke of were extremely clear.

It's not enough for us to protect Avalon from the Crusades.Without the help of Chrono's Elrod Empire, we will not be able to defend the homeland.

“But it's not just an ally, it's an empire.”

“Surely, if it's your own territory, you'll be able to defend it with a little force.”

"Hmm. The Elrod Empire has already swallowed up the Atlas Desert's surrounding countries."But the rule there remains the same as before, and it is left to the kings of all nations. "

With the exception of one point of military control, it is guaranteed to remain the same as before.

At least, for now, during the short period of King Miriard's stay in the pandemonium, he was investigating the intel of the Empire at a minimum.

Sparda, who has now become an exile government, has never been treated badly.On the contrary, even as a warmth to the exile, it is overly receptive to the Sparda people.

Avalon was the only one who would never be treated badly.

"But we will not lose Avalon as a nation."It's not easy to accept, and I know how it feels.But I want you to think twice about reality and the future that awaits you, and be ready for it--you 've already made up your mind. "

And King Miriald, with an unusual enthusiasm in his eyes, gazed at the lords, who were still puzzled by the colour, and asserted vigorously.

I will offer the First Princess Nell as a bride to the Demon King!
