Kuro no Maou
Episode 852: Liberation of the Capital Avalon (2)
"Oh no, what's going on... what the hell is going on?!"
The royal palace screamed and screamed furiously at the reports of massive damage.
Unknown on the third day of the first Tuesday.
Suddenly, a massive revolt broke out in the capital, Avalon.
The first attack was on the Dragon Knights airbase outside the walls surrounding the capital. Behind the Wall, we received intel on the raid when the Rebel Dragon Knights flew over the capital in my presence, to Weyburn, where they were captured at the base.
For this reason, the signal signalling the beginning of the rebellion in the capital was an ambush in which the Kempeitai headquarters was blown away by a powerful fire attack magic.
Many people gathered in the royal palace were woken up from their sleep by the horrible bangs hitting the capital, and when they saw the sight of the infernal black smoke blowing up, they realized that an unexpected abnormality had occurred. Drowsiness and the sound of a big explosion are blowing up, and the face that was the Lord gathers in the royal palace as it rolls.
Right now, the Royal Palace is a temporary headquarters, commanding swift suppressive actions...
The third bulwark is already occupied by the rebels in the western half.
“It's only a matter of time before the rebels take control of all the walls surrounding the capital!”
"What is the Kempeitai doing!" Let's stop the amateur resistance! "
"HQ blew up, who's running the Kempeitai!?"
"Gather in the Northern Branch." That's the second biggest branch of the gendarmerie, but I'll get it back up and running. "
"It's been blowing up there for a long time. The Miboshi branch is already on fire."
"It's clear, let the defense force spawn at full force ----"
"That's why you're telling me that the Third Wall is already under attack!" The former elite Sparda slaves are all over the place, and all they have to do is suppress them! ”
If we can get help quickly and hold down the barrier, we'll be surrounded.
"Hey, don't let the guards out!" Don't loosen your defenses at the Imperial Castle! "
"...... Beidaemun has fallen."
“There's an armed group out on the street that thinks it's a resistance. It seems to enter the capital through an open gate.”
What, there are rebels outside the capital!?
"Yes, we need help from the east section of the second barrier!"
Oh no, the enemy is already approaching the second bulwark!?
"... there is no response from the south gate. Maybe it's already been captured."
"Send soldiers out of the royal castle!" If you don't hurry, it's too late! "
"We must at least protect the line of the second barrier."
"No, it's too late!" It was better to defend the royal castle. If anything happens here, it's all over! "
"I need more help... the Aryan monks from all over are attacked by the Resistance and burned." There's been a massacre of believers. "
I don't want to break up any more soldiers under these circumstances!
"That's right, it would be a church in the lower wards anyway." As a noble sacrifice, you can throw it away. "
"More than that, strengthen the protection of the royal castle!" There's an enemy Dragon Knight flying over your head!! "
"Calm down, the royal castle is surrounded by the" Cathedral Barrier (Sanctuary) ". We're fully defended."
"Overconfidence is forbidden." Even if you keep the Kingsguard close at hand, there is a limit to the amount of troops that can be sent from the Imperial Castle for rescue ---- "
"Reporting! A rescue unit is engaging the enemy near the second barrier south gate!" It was difficult to break through the fierce resistance. Reinforcements ASAP! "
"Damn it, if we were to go to the rescue... hey, how many enemies are there?"
"Wait, the enemy looks like one...."
"Are you licking me!?" Hey, the information is too complicated, get an accurate picture right away! ”
A swarm of Undead has appeared in the aristocratic city!
"I don't think it's going to come out like that!?" Hurry up and send me some decent information! "
"Well, Her Royal Highness Princess Nell requested that Konoe be mobilized to search for her pet feather cat....."
"----Shut UP!!"
Dong!! and the table was slapped hard, and the command instantly calmed down with Xin.
"You guys, what an unorthodox look." Just like a slave and a demon rebellion, I was relentlessly wiping out my right path. As a subordinate serving His Majesty King Nero, you must be ashamed of yourself!! "
It is the Marquis of Azrael who has been entrusted with the task of replacing the Duke of Arkwright.
Henry Rosso Azrael, as the twelve nobles, was often in a rivalry with the Duke of Arkwright in particular… It is his superficial appearance, and he himself is a pious Hidden Crucifixioner as well as the Duke.
The day came when long-lasting grief was fulfilled, and true faith was finally restored to Pandora. Nero was raised as king, and the duke, who had been so opposed, had forged a good cooperative relationship as if he were a lie.
The Wissendorf Frontiers have formed a rebel army, and the Duke of Arkwright has led the crusade to defeat it.
In the meantime, it would have been inevitable that the royal castle would have been entrusted to the Marquis of Azraël, who had become the number two in Neo Avalon.
At this moment, he was so angry that his stroked hair and proud beard stood up against the sudden revolt in the capital, in an unreliable situation where he continued to rotate backwards without any effective hand.
"... but I can't predict such a large-scale rebellion at all, and it would be impossible to completely suppress the movement of the rebels too quickly."
He slammed the table, and from Henry's militarily large body, a magical aura of anger drifted too much, but he still accepted the unfavorable reality with his strong reason.
"Perhaps the rebels have been ordained for the upheavals in this capital." Wissendorf's decision was to cut as much as possible of the defenses of the capital. ”
Try to calmly discuss and listen to your situation analysis while putting blue streaks on your forehead.
“That's why the fleet of runes showed up in Serene. That's why I brought in all the filthy harpies. I think the intestines will boil down at all, but it is the biggest failure to grasp the movement of the rebels who have made such a large-scale and careful plan until today when something happened."
The rebellion now underway is far too smooth.
Overall, Neo Avalon should have been a good advantage even after spending a lot of time with people, but we took full advantage of the advantage of raiding at an entirely unexpected time and tampered with it.
At first, the Kempeitai's chain of command was crushed, the Dragon Knights' airbase was taken away, and even a group of resistance fighters, like an amateur with a weapon, were wasted in battles across the country.
Even Henry didn't know how to move so perfectly together in a capital that was completely under the control of the Crucifixion, but it was too much for him to understand that he was never a disgraceful opponent.
"As it is, we will only consume the soldiers mischievously. Immediately, pull all troops to the Royal Castle!"
"Do you mind, my lord, marquis?" Now, the entire capital will be in rebel hands..... "
It doesn't matter! We'll hold the strength we need to fight this battle, and we'll build a castle here.
Rebel hands are reaching out to the people as they wreak havoc in the capital.
The third bulwark is almost all captured, and the defense forces retreat. The Kempeitai's chain of command was devastated without healing. Furthermore, the second bulwark that protects the noble city is still in enemy hands, and the reinforcements from the royal castle have been cut off by placing the trump cards and the best possible fighting force on the other side.
There is no way to save all the places that have already been captured or are currently in battle. This rebellion was started after the opponent had arranged a perfect formation from the beginning. This is a peacetime defense system, and we are not prepared to contain the major revolt that unexpectedly broke out inside the capital.
Even if it exceeds the overall battle force, if the battle force is not properly arranged, it is not impossible to be pushed by an opponent that is somewhat inferior in number. At the very least, there was no overwhelming force in the Royal Castle that could turn this disadvantage upside down.
"All right, Wissendorf and the rest of the rebels are on a roll." In that case, I don't want to bump into the Crusaders from Hana. If we hear about the rebellion in the capital, Lord Arkwright will see what happens. "
I see, if the Duke's Crusaders return.
“We can get rid of the rebels who have only temporarily captured the city.”
In the first place, we still have a lot of strength left. It was only a temporary departure from the capital due to a large recreational operation.
The place where the Crusaders have decided to fight is not far from the capital. As early as a few days, or at the latest a week, the Duke of Arkwright will surely rush into the crisis of the capital.
"You don't have to panic. Our Neo-Avalon has an overwhelming advantage in the overall battle. The objective is to wreak havoc on our enemies in a capital temporarily lowered in defense by recreational action, and to reduce their power to a deadly level. If we are flirted with by the enemy and defeated in any event, this royal castle will be taken. If the capital falls entirely into rebel hands, the Crusaders will be struck by the capital and Visendorf, turning them around and plunging them into trouble -- but on the contrary, this is the only way they can win."
"In other words, if we keep our strength and defend the Imperial Castle, we will be victorious."
"The stone is Lord Henry!" Date is not proud of the twelve noblest martial arts! "
I'm impressed by the marquis's wisdom!
"Yes, I don't want a transparent flattery!" If you understand the situation, then I will give you an order to withdraw all my troops!! "
With clear guidelines in place, the confusing command has finally begun to function.
Henry sighed sharply as his messages rushed around and his orders began to reach the crowd. After that, Henry looked back to his upper seat.
"We sincerely regret that, in view of the situation, we are going to take measures for the castle in the Imperial Castle. Therefore, I ask the Twelfth Apostle, Sir Mariabelle, to remain in the Imperial Castle."
"Are you sure you don't want me to leave?" With this kind of rebellion, the Apostle's power can be quickly defeated. "
Looking at the noisy royal palace with cold eyes all the time, Mariabelle tells Henry to bow her head.
“No, that's not why I need your help.”
I can tell you well if you let me do it like this.
"Still, congratulations. It will take a little patience until the Duke of Arkwright returns."
It is easy to rely on the power of the Apostle. I know you're mocking the rebels, but if you ask me, Maria Bell will help you.
"If that's what you, the commander, decided, that's fine." I'm not like Mass, so I'll be quiet and accommodate your requests unless there's too much trouble. ”
Haha, thank you for your generous consideration!
"Wherever you go, it's your inner struggle." We'll take care of it ourselves ———— Now, I'm going back to my room. I don't need a state of war report, so if you get cornered so much that you need my help, call me at that time. "
Afterwards, Mariabel took her seat and left.
The main street that leads to the southern gate of the second barrier, and the corner around it, is transformed into a picture of hell.
Burning fire in a building made of rubble. Bloody corpses turned into Undead and waxed against the backdrop of visible signs of destruction.
The beautiful soprano singing that keeps echoing here does not allow just one person to sleep in the abyss of death.
I'm still singing the curse melody high in search of new dead people, but unfortunately, I'm alone now.
"---- Have you quit already?" It's faster than I thought.
The reinforcements that came out of the Imperial Castle were covered by Prim and the Cataphras, but I had to retreat completely.
It would be premature to rejoice that this is a victory. Probably, it was decided that the rebellion in the capital could not be stopped, and it should be seen as having switched quickly to the castle operation in the Imperial Castle.
The reinforcements I was dealing with didn't seem to have scared me to break them down, but rather to have fallen back with a clear retreat order. I wanted to sharpen it because it was a corner, but it was forbidden to pursue it deeply. I'm the general.
"As usual, it's a terrible outburst, isn't it?"
Celice, are you okay with that already?
Yeah, the city is pretty much under control.
Celis, wearing a black Imperial helmet, reports with a cool face.
There is no need for salutations on the battlefield. It's just annoying. I just want to make it as easy as possible for my friends and acquaintances to chat.
Anyway, the information itself has been delivered to my helmet, so I have an approximate picture of the situation. Telepathic communication for that purpose.
For now, the first stage of the operation is a success.
It works too well, and I feel like it's a little bit out of beat.
"The main force of the enemy is slipping away." Unless the apostle travels, we need to do this well. "
The objective of the operation is to capture the entire capital first.
The first target is the widest lower section, which extends from the third wall on the outer perimeter to the second wall separating the aristocratic city. If we can't control this, we'll endure the urban warfare and become poor.
Rebels with little strength or time to defer will be stuck if they don't make short-term battles.
The second objective is the upper section between the noble city and the second barrier from the Imperial Castle.
We've already captured the Second Wall, so it won't be too hard to contain it... but the enemy has completely retreated to the Royal Castle, so there won't even be a fight.
In the evening, our main force will be able to surround the royal castle.
"If possible, I want them to gather before the sun sets."
"Are you going to launch a siege battle today?" Even if we ride the momentum, I wonder if the drifting rocks are too chaotic. "
Even so, the enemy had already taken up the position of the castle.
It was only natural to take advantage of the chaos in the capital to get into the royal castle, and to attack the defensive area, but the difficulty of the attack was different. According to the common sense of the art of war, we are ordinarily told to prepare more than three times the strength to attack the castle.
And there is nowhere we can muster such power against the rebels. Of course Celice looked bitter.
"No, the Royal Castle was attacked only after Mariabelle was killed."
If you are sitting as an apostle on top of your defensive advantage, it will be the first great stronghold to be struck. Avalon Royal Castle is a beautiful white castle with a castle-style structure, but the thick bulwarks and deep moats are also well stretched, and they are not built so much as to be easily attacked.
Honestly, even without an apostle, it was tough to attack with the law of righteousness with the current strength.
"But... isn't that Mariabelle still in the royal castle?"
Apparently, that's what it looks like.
So far, there are no reports of Mariabelle showing up.
The mansion in the aristocratic city overlooking the Imperial Castle also has collaborators on its side. If he spawns, we'll know soon enough, but as it stands, we're only getting word that soldiers are being held as they continue to retreat from the city.
"I thought if I started such a flashy revolt, I would come out soon..."
Ate came off.
If there is a battle between the eyes and the nose, it will still be like an eye or a Mass to come out without thinking about it. Sarriel told me I wouldn't spawn if I were him.
Mariabelle is said to have an unusual and common-sense character for an apostle. He's not an amateur in battle, and he has fought with Sariel in the Sinclair region in the Pagan War of Liberation. Somehow, they know how to command a soldier.
Then, in view of his position, he will not act recklessly.
"If you want to defeat Maria Bell, you have to drag her out of the Royal Castle." Is there such a solution? "
"... in a certain way, in a certain way"
"Why are you making such a sinister face...?"
We have a plan, but it's not a very good one.
I didn't hesitate to go into the enemy's army on a single ride, but I still had to say, "That's a little...".
"But if Mariabelle is setting up a castle, there's nothing she can do... I didn't want to do it, but I guess she had no choice but to use Lily's secret tactic."
The Avalon Royal Castle closed all its gates tightly after noon and had a thorough defense. Soldiers scattered around the city were roughly housed, and the finest Kingsguard and Dragon Heart remained intact, ensuring sufficient defensive power.
Although the rebellion in the capital failed and they were pushed to the castle in the form of a half defeat, it was estimated that the crusading army led by the Duke of Arkwright would return soon, and the soldiers' agitation was kept to a minimum.
So they quietly waited for the time to fight back against the hateful rebels, even as they penetrated the castle.
In front of the royal castle, which was fully defended, the rebels who controlled the noble city and unfolded the siege did not burst into the boulder. The day had already begun to lean, and the night was about to come as the two armies continued to clash.
Probably no more battles today--that's when everyone had the feeling.
"My name is Chrono!" This is the new Demon King Chrono, blessed by the ancient Demon King Mia Elrod!! "
A man's name echoed high in the reddened sky at dusk.
The volume was loud enough to maximize the loudspeaker magic and hit all of the capital, not just the royal castle. Of course, it could be heard anywhere in the Royal Castle.
”This voice... is it really that guy?”
Mariabelle, who had noticed Avalon's rebellion and other strange faces, returned to her room and read quietly. She raised her face from the thick entertainment novel to the voice that she heard even when she didn't like it.
Chrono. A demonic man, aimed at by all the apostles gathered on the Pandora continent.
The Eighth Apostle Eye is a pleasant playmate with good teeth.
Eleventh Apostle Mass, as an adversary who carved a cursed wound into his own beauty.
It seems that the thirteenth Apostle Nero was originally related, but he did not know the exact circumstances, nor was he very interested. However, since we are bent on killing the ends of the continent in the name of the Great Expedition, there is no doubt that the degree of resentment is equivalent to or greater than that of Mass.
But Mariabel, the twelfth apostle, hath no less grudge than Mass and Nero. I did not accompany the expedition because, unlike Mass or Nero, it was only rational.
"If the real Chrono is coming... I see, you gave me the role of killing that man."
This is God's guidance.
Who would have guessed that Chrono would come himself while he waited in Avalon? Nero and Mass, who went out of their way to take him down, are in vain.
Of course, if it's a fake that tricks Chrono, just leave it and go back to reading. Right now, it's a good place.
Mariabelle sits down as she closes the book. The balcony overlooks the front of the Royal Castle.
The voice of Demon King Chrono resounded directly in front of the royal castle. If you look out from the balcony, you can immediately identify it.
In the end, it was either real or fake that was screaming--that thought disappeared immediately afterwards.
"N-No, that's... no way... Sir Sariel"
That's where Sariel was.
Designed to enhance her silver beauty, Sarriel, wearing a beautiful pure white holy robe and a seventh apostle outfit, was reflected in Mariabelle's vision.
"Twelfth Apostle Mariabelle, are you there? Sariel wants to talk to you."
An angel who yearns and loves more than anyone else is like a girl. Behind it, an evil, lacquered man had a distorted smile.
