Kuro no Maou

Currently, the defenses of the capital, Avalon, have been drastically reduced.

The Duke of Arkwright, who had been deposited by Nero, led his main force to intercept the most powerful rebels on the Wissendorf periphery. The rebel main force, led by Frontier Boy, is slowly marching from the east side of the capital, joining Wyndham's reinforcements.

On the other side, even on the west side of the capital, the rebels are determined, about half of the main force, but they are never ignoring it, and they are starting to move towards the capital. Naturally, Neo Avalon will have to send his own soldiers.

And the other day. The Knights rushed south from the capital. A fleet of runes appeared off the coast of Serene, Avalon's largest port city.

In other words, the capital, Avalon, is currently under attack from three directions. Concentration is basic, but if your enemies attack more than once at the same time, you'll have to allocate enough troops. If we ignore any one of them, they'll just come straight into the capital.

The Duke would have thought that the rebels were a twist, but Wyndham's reinforcements and runes of intimidation were unexpected. Just in case, if Windham and Runes really invade, how much damage would they suffer if it happened at the same time... even if they won? My stomach will hurt from now on.

"Anyway, now we can sharpen the defense of the capital." After that, we can take over the capital by ourselves. "

The East and West rebels and the Rune fleet are all only a matter of dividing up the defenses of the capital and directing their attention to the outside world.

Neither the rebels nor the runes are going to fight head-on. The Wissendorf Frontier Coalition stops in the city ahead of the expected plain, and the fleet is only parked offshore for a long time, not even ready to land.

We're here to free Avalon, and we're not going to burn this whole country to the ground. If we're going to take back the country, the quickest thing we can do is crush the head that's hijacking it, and it'll serve my own purpose of eliminating the apostles and the Holy Grail.

The battle will be decided from the beginning in this capital, Avalon.

We're all in position, aren't we?

Okay, okay, okay.

Neneka who stays on my shoulder tells me.

At the heart of the forces that dominate the capital is my battalion, which has recently liberated various parts of Avalon. We dissolved once a few days ago and joined the capital on separate routes. Puriel's Maklav Enterprise is not the only rebel ally in the capital now.

Many of them are men, but many of them have families like Elves and Beastmen. It was for the nobility and for the merchants. If the insurgents become more active, those who would have depended on their participation would be prepared to offer their help. Funding aristocrats and merchants appear to be embracing other race exclusion movements, using money to buy slaves, and bringing a large number of insurgents and resistance members into the capital legally.

As a result, there are quite a few Resistances in the capital Avalon besides my battalion. With Puriel as the main focus, a communication network via Fairy will allow you to relay information safely without being distracted by your enemies. No one knows that today is the day of the Avalon Liberation Operation in the Resistance hiding in the capital.

It's not a big deal. I don't think you're really pissed off about it.

Of course, because fairies are good at keeping secrets.

Hmm, Neneka's chest is stretched out.

In the unlikely event that an information leak or a traitor would wipe us out, we assumed the worst, but the capital, Avalon, was at peace as if it had ended in grief.

The sun is rising and a refreshing day is about to begin.

Waking up with the sunrise is the standard in this world, but this capital is no exception, and people will wake up just in time. Avalon's bell rang at six in the morning, just like Sparda's.

However, for today only, the alarm sounds early. There is a signal for the opening of war to wake up from the nightmare of the Cross.

Dong dong dong dong dong dong

A grand explosion echoes through the capital.

A huge black smoke rises up in the sky illuminated by the morning sun.

A testament to the bursting of Fiona's "Golden Sun" (All Soleil), marking the beginning of the War of Liberation.

What do you say, Fiona?

"I've hit you straight." I'll head to the next place. ”

Without being particularly proud, it showed the results of the battle through the Fairy Communication.

Receiving telepathy, the image projected inside the helmet of "Maximilian's Armor" shows a stone structure that was almost completely destroyed while being wrapped in a burning flame.

This is the headquarters of the Avalon Gendarmerie, the capital's security force.

Most of the Kingsguard Knights and Soldiers who served as the Metropolitan Guard were stationed in the Imperial Castle. However, it was difficult to shoot attack magic in here for the first time. The security around the Imperial Castle was tight.

However, there is still room for a pre-emptive strike like the Kempeitai HQ. Instead of hundreds or thousands of soldiers attacking at once, only one witch unleashes offensive magic. Even if we find out where we started chanting, it's too late.

Thus, the Gendarmerie Headquarters was returned to the ashes. Compared to the Kingsguard, they were not very powerful, but they were casual soldiers familiar with the capital. The Kempeitai are the first to rush in when the Resistance bursts into action.

However, if HQ is destroyed, the chain of command will be cut off. If the Kempeitai's movement is delayed, the Resistance will move forward by that amount. By the time the chain of command is restored, we will have no control over it.

Fiona will continue to crush the Kempeitai branch in the capital, so if things go smoothly, the Kempeitai will be almost completely sealed.

You've raised the smoke of a flashy war!

Then, Your Majesty, we will spawn as well.

The next communications came from Kai and Ellywood, who led Sparda's elite.

They are targeting the bulwark that surrounds the capital, Avalon.

We know the rebels are rampaging around, so we've more defensive gates and walls than usual. Especially the main gate, which is equipped to the east, west, south, and north, can be manned by a sufficient number of troops, and it is in full operation with a semi-rigid alert.

Originally a defense force against outside enemies, but if the Resistance begins to rage in the capital, they will naturally move immediately to quell it. The Kempeitai will be followed by the Kempeitai, the defense force on this barrier, which will be the main source of the crackdown.

Therefore, I will crush them by hitting them first.

There isn't enough strength to hit all the main gates at the same time, so we'll drop them one by one with Sparda's elite troops in turn. First, we attacked through the Great Main Gate, which had the most troops. Since then, it has been circling the bulwark clockwise to suppress it.

"Oh, I'm begging you."

"Hahaha! When I leave it to us!"

The members also had a Rank 5 adventurer, the Iron Monster Group. Leader Gustav and Kai rescued him at the Mississippi mine, but while the other party members were freeing up the area, they noticed that everyone was gathering. That being said, it was comforting to see a full party of Rank 5 adventurers.

In addition to Ellywood's Brave Heart, the Sparda Elite Squad, which includes high-ranking adventurers like Kai and Gustav, is an ace squad for the rebels.

"Chris, what about you?"

Ufufu, please take a look up there.

When I looked up at the sky and was told to respond in a good mood, several shadows flew over Avalon, which was lit by the morning sun.

It is not just migratory birds that fly in formation in the character shape of, but fiercely flapping flying dragons.

Alright, you've successfully captured the Dragon Knights garrison.

Outside the walls of the capital, Avalon, Chris manages the airbase of the world, mostly manned by the Dragon Knights.

Only the most elite Dragon Knights "Dragon Heart" are in the Imperial Castle. Chris belonged to Avalon's proud Dragon Knights.

However, to leave a dragon knight, rather than a riding dragon Weyburn, it would naturally take a lot more space than a horse. Therefore, even though it is a huge Avalon Royal Castle, we can only keep a small number of elite knights stationed.

Outside the walls surrounding the capital, there is an air base for Dragon Knights with spacious grounds. The mainstay of the Dragon Knight in the Avalon army is here. However, most of them were taken on a big expedition by Nero.

Still, there are more giant dragon houses than Weyburn, and there are still more dragon knights driving them.

However, not all dragon knights can be here for 24 hours. It is likely that the level of vigilance is higher than usual in the suburbs of the capital, but it is still not as strict as the posture of vigilance. In the early morning hours, the base will be packed with the least number of people.

That's why I'm aiming here. Outside the bulwark, the base's assault only started before Fiona's signal.

When this base's Dragon Knights are fully riding, the Avalon Liberation War will be greatly hampered. Conquering this area and neutralizing their air power was also a sine qua non for the success of Operation Liberation.

"Yes, everything will be fine. Thanks to you, my beloved Selinuntius was able to fly again!"

Oh, that brown one, but it's Weyburn who claims to be the Black Dragon. Perhaps Chris is leading the formation flight.

Chris was suddenly fired one day by the Dragon Knights, but it wasn't just her. In addition to Chris, the Avalon army, which has broken its demonic rejection, has fired dragon knights of other races at once.

All of a sudden, she was fired from her job and was able to instantly scout the Ristorant Dragon Knight that followed her, thanks to Ahato's early persuasion to bring her in.

But Chris was the deputy commander of the "Dragon Heart". It is a top class in status and prowess, and no one knows its name but Avalon's Dragon Knight. If a former number-two dragon knight invited me, no one would turn me down sooner.

From the beginning, those who had become elite dragon knights had been irrationally fired, and there was no weak spirit that could be pulled back very quietly. Everyone is breathing when Chris heads up, and I'm sure he'll regret firing us.

And as soon as they do, they will dance in Avalon's sky.

After capturing the former air base, each of them spearheaded across their partner, Weyburn.

As well as cutting down the enemy Dragon Knights, we had a new Dragon Knight Squad joining us in a stone-and-bird base domination operation.

Well then, first of all, I need you to cover for Kai and the others.

Yeah, as you know.

In addition to Sparda's elite troops, the Dragon Knight Squad will also provide air cover, allowing the bulwarks to be captured even faster. It was a huge barrier that surrounded the capital. If we don't keep it down at a fairly high pace, we'll be turning backwards.

If [Dragon Heart] travels from the Imperial Castle, you will be the first to go.

"Heh, the station is a second-tier personnel assigned to the royal castle." I'm going to lightly knock down the place where the mushroom came out. "

Was Avalon's greatest knight, Laurent? The Dragon Heart commander and the elite are still serving on Nero's expedition, so it must be the ones who have leaked from the selection that remain in the Royal Castle.

Even a rare dragon knight was taken to a great expedition, and the active Dragon Knight was banished because of other races. The Dragon Knights are the only ones left in Avalon.

You can't be a Dragon Knight without a ride on Weyburn. Unlike just a soldier, gathering people isn't like filling a hole. The Tiger Boy's air power Dragon Knights have been greatly reduced and weakened in the Avalon Army.

Well then, I wish you good luck, Demon King.

Yeah, you too.

From then on, the "Maklav Enterprise", which is transformed into the headquarters commanding each Resistance team, summarizes the battle conditions collected by the Fairy Correspondence, and reports can be received from Puriel from time to time.

The ambush was successful, and obviously the enemy forces were slow to respond.

The Kempeitai were crushed by Fiona one by one at each base, and the reliant defense forces, under the onslaught of the Sparda Elite and Dragon Knight Squads, were not on the verge of a crackdown in the city.

The Neo-Avalon forces, lacking the main force to crack down on the determined resistance, could not stop the raids taking place across the region.

The Resistance already has a unified organization for this day. Therefore, we will not turn into mere thugs and plunder. Even if it did, it would be kept to a minimum, and I couldn't escape from the Fairy Super High Constable.

It has clearly formed its troops, distributed its equipment, and communicated its operational objectives.

After the attack on Fiona, the task of suppressing the branch of the Gendarmerie, helping to suppress the barrier, supporting the main force, and attacking the Aria monastery in various places is varied.

The Aria Monastery is not a military facility, but it is a crucifixionist lair, and apart from the Neo-Avalon army, it does not know how many private soldiers it has. If they take the lead and bring a large number of their followers against the Resistance, we could end up in a muddy city war. That's why I'm going to aim and crush you from the beginning. If you resent me, you resent God, not us.

There are various objectives, but the Resistance we need to hide cannot share or coordinate the details of our operations. I don't think we're in a situation where we can easily meet on one plan.

However, with the Fairy Communication, I was free to talk in secret. At least Neo Avalon doesn't have the intelligence to intercept telepathic communications. We are the only ones in position to do that, and we are the only ones who are engaged in military operations.

While realizing the advantages of information and communication, I was listening to the suppression situation in the city that was progressing smoothly. So far, everything is going according to plan.

From here on out, we have to do our best.

Yes, Master.

It's not Sariel who pays his respects next door, it's Prim.

The number two of my "heavy cavalry (catapult) corps" is equipped with an ancient armor (ancient gear) "Hellhound" with an impressive wolf-like helmet.

In addition to the "Voltex Machine Gun", which emphasizes firepower over mobility, this time, it is also equipped with "Avalanche Launcher" like Bazooka. It is a heavy-duty specification that can be loaded into a large capacity ether magazine and carried even to a container filled with compressed ether warheads for launchers.

Armed with an ancient weapon like this, it doesn't reach Fiona's firepower... but it's enough to cover me. The rest of the crew were equipping themselves with more firepower than usual.

Finally, you came out of the Imperial Castle.

Although not visible to the naked eye, the telepathic video transmission from the fairies' scouts lurking in the noble city opens the main gate of Avalon's Royal Castle, and successively the soldiers spawn on my helm.

When the Kempeitai are devastated and the defense force is exposed to attack, there is nothing left to do but to put an end to the fighting in the Imperial Castle.

If the reinforcements from this royal castle arrived as they were, it would be an undisputed difference in power, and the resistance would be suppressed in no time. I was stationed in the Imperial Castle, so the quality of the soldiers was excellent.

But it was a mistake not to issue the [Kingsguard].

It was the usual soldiers who came out of the royal castle. He was not a majestic knight, fully armed with a silver armor helmet.

Well, if the Poor Gear Resistance is so rampant, I don't think we need to be the best. Best of all, since so much revolt broke out in the capital which seemed to be safe, I would like to leave the most powerful force for the defense of the royal castle.

However, if you were aware of our plan, you'd best cut off the strongest hand, Konoe, and turn the situation upside down sooner rather than later. A half-hearted, normal battle force only confuses the situation.

I'll drive them crazy.

"As expected, reinforcements from the Royal Castle were coming straight for us." Have you finished placing it? "

"Yes, the total staffing has been completed"

Ain, the First Officer with the launcher on his back, answers. We don't have that many people here, so if you look at it, you'll see.

Right now, we're on a barrier.

It's not the outer barrier that Kai's attacking, it's the second barrier separating the aristocratic city from the outer perimeter.

Like Sparda, Avalon, the capital city, is a beautiful citadel in almost a circle. It is the first bulwark that encloses the royal castle, the second bulwark that separates the aristocratic city in the center from the outer perimeter where the people live, and the third bulwark that encloses the entire outer perimeter of the city.

Together with Fiona's signal, we will first attack this second bulwark and quickly capture it. We've been waiting for them to arrive to welcome reinforcements from the Imperial Castle.

Well, as usual, I'll go alone, so I'll just ask for cover.

Yes, leave it to Prim, Master!

"Jesus, My Lord."

Then I'll jump off the wall on my own.

Hmph! The cobblestone road that landed was smashed with the weight of [Maximilian] 's [Tyrant's Armor], and he slowly walked.

Thanks to our flashy donkey patches over the Second Wall, there are no figures in the area. You can stay in the Mansion until the liberation war is over.

Then I'll walk alone on the deserted boulevard.

As I progressed to the appropriate place, I stopped in the middle of the road and spread [shadow gate] at my feet.

Two weapons emerge from the shadows to me.

One is "The Greed", a fully charged lightning cannon form (Mode Blaster Gil) that has already been charged with purple lightning.

And the other one, the Reaper's Blade, starts playing the humming quietly. "Prison Gate Keys - Enclave Doom".

"Come on, I'll show you hell----"
