Kuro no Maou

The day after completing the actual test of the Empire's first mass-produced armored machine armor "Black Demon".

I was alone with Nell in the Fifth Tier Command Room.

Saliel and Prim, both maids, were kept in the room, but they were essentially alone.

Chrono-kun, have you thought about what happened the other day?

“Of course, I was going to tell you that.”

It seems that it took a little while, so I thought I made an impossible request.

"No, I'd rather ask for it from here." To this day, the Imperial Army is still in the process of being organized, so I've been busy a lot. "

I decided to officially tell Nell about it.

Nell Julius Ellrord is to be Chief Military Medical Officer.

The Military Medical General is the highest ranking military medical officer and is a Lieutenant General.

Will was the only Lieutenant General in the Imperial Army so I became the second Lieutenant General.

With all due respect, Your Majesty the Chrono Demon King.

"Ah, that's fine now." This place is like a private place. "

"There is also courtesy within the intimacy, so. I'll be entrusted with the task of standing on top of others, so it's even more so."

You've gotten a solid response from the outside world. Is it the gift of education as a royal family? For that reason, Nero had failed his education.....

I wanted to coolly say that you don't have to fight to Nell.

"Ufufu, now is the time."

Yeah, absolutely.

At the time of putting Nell in [Anti-Cross], her combat prowess was more than ever. Fight the Apostle. There is no more dangerous battle against the Crusaders.

"Give me a hand." I want you to do everything you can from this Pandora to the crusade. "

"Yes, please leave it to me." But am I the healer? "

Now, Nell has undergone a class change from a "healing sorcerer (Priest)" to a "warrior maiden" who is a master of ancient jujitsu.

Of course, just because your title has changed, like RPG, doesn't change your ability. Nell is still a top-notch healer worthy of Rank 5 if he still has the [Balance of White Wings].

I think Nell is the right person for the job, both in terms of ability and position.

Me, Lily, and Will are saying it's okay. If I knew about Nell, I'd have no choice.

We can't let Avalon's princess take her lower position, but the Imperial Army can't afford to leave her in the ornaments.

In view of Nell's exceptional healing ability and protection, it would be best to be in charge of medical care.

"Sure, I'm still confident in my healing magic... but when it comes to actual healers on the battlefield, aren't the Pandora Temple people at the center?"

Neil says that he is by no means a devout believer or a priesthood man of virtue.

Indeed, as she says, there are many Pandora's temple officials who are essentially recovering from the massive mobilization of the nations of the Pandora continent on the battlefield. Sometimes I had a specialized unit of healing sorcerers who stood on my own, but that's usually the case with generals such as kings and generals.

Even if everyone has magic power in this other world, there are only a few people who actually have the talent to handle magic. Especially if it's healing magic, it's even more limited.

If you want to gather a group of people who can use healing magic, it's easiest to ask your country's Pandora Temple for help.

Heals wounded soldiers on the battlefield, but does not participate in combat. It seemed that mobilizing the guru on such terms was a major task. We would never take care of you, but that was the Sparda of the Galahad War.

Therefore, in the battle between Pandora's countries, it seems that unwritten laws such as the fact that the healing specialists do not aim at the priests sometimes become clear.

Naturally, it is a local rule that does not apply to Crusaders at all. Well, the crucifixion priest is aggressively killing me, and I'm dividing up this area as being irrelevant.

“The Imperial Army is not going to rely solely on the Temple of Pandora for medical care on the battlefield.”

"Is that an organization called the Medical Battalion, led by the General Inspector of Military Medicine?"

We need a medic. Especially if it's a modern war with bullets flying around.

Even on a planet where magic is a convenient and omnipotent healing method does not exist, the existence of a medic can be established. Since healing magic could not be used, first aid was available on the battlefield.

When it comes to medics, in the war movies, when bullets and explosions collapse, "Medic!! If you yell, you'll have a strong image of someone rushing in. Front-line operations are true, but even before casualties occur, they play a role in maintaining the hygiene of troops, preventing quarantine, and so on.

If you launch a large army full of rice, you can't even see if a soldier falls bumpy before fighting for reasons such as rotten rice, a food poisoning outbreak, a flu pandemic, or a local plague. In fact, there are a lot of people who fall off for various reasons while marching longer than before the battle. The more expeditionary you are, the more likely you will be.

Hygiene control and quarantine systems are very important in terms of keeping the battle force on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, on the front line, "Medic!! When this happens, basically only first aid is required.

The bandage and the gauze used to stop the bleeding. Anyway, the bleeding was suppressed on the spot and then transported backwards.

Fortunately, there is a wide distribution of potions with immediate effect in this world, so it can be said that the level of first aid has greatly improved even in this existence alone.

Bandages, gauze, and quick-acting heeled potions can help stop bleeding if you don't have a lot of serious injuries.

Then it's important to transport them backwards. If your squad mates threw away their guns and transported their allies, they would have lost one more at that point. Abandoning your wounded companions and moving forward is very difficult.

That's why the medic is in charge of transport. In reality, curing magic doesn't mean returning to the front immediately. It's a very impossible trick unless it's a party with a good healer.

With such a wake, rapid transportation from the front line becomes an indispensable task, and if you do it including that, a healer who can only use healing magic will not serve as a medic. At least, it is a labor that cannot be entrusted to a lean and thin guru in a pure and poor life.

“The more we use specialized medical care and advanced healing magic, the more we keep it to basic first aid, the more we secure our first responders.”

With all my sketchy explanations, Nell quickly understood the role that medical brigades were looking for.

Of course, the field hospital that will be set up behind will have a place where you can have serious treatment, including the shrine group, as usual, but that's another story.

“First aid in the field seems to be a regular practice in all armies. I have never bothered to organize a rescue team that is not exclusive to the nobility of the marquis."

“I don't think we ever needed that much before.”

It was simply cut off from the bottom.

I think we're going to need a medic, even if we subtract those reasons.

“The Imperials aren't quite there yet, but instead of spears and bows, we're going to use guns as standard equipment.”

“Yeah, I heard from Sparda that he was very passionate about it.”

I've never spoken specifically about a gun to Nell. I also choose to talk to girls.

Maybe Will told you.

“I've already seen the power of guns, so I understand the policy of trying to embrace new, groundbreaking weapons.”

"But we're not the only ones who can use guns." The Crusaders will fight with the same guns. ”

Simon, an alchemist with no special magical powers, created the gun. Without the blessing of God or the talent of magic, it can be manufactured by anyone who has the materials and equipment. They're not stupid either. If we take a look at the traps, we'll be able to quickly analyze what kind of weapon they have.

Like the Tanegashima firecrackers spread throughout Japan.

Just as Russia's Kalashnikovs have spread all over the world.

A weapon called a gun is bound to spread. It's no different in this other world where magic exists.

"If we start shooting each other with guns, the casualty rate on the battlefield will increase."

"To do that, do you mean to organize healing professional organizations in advance?"

In this otherworld, where the power of the individual lightly outweighs that of a fully armed soldier with a firearm, the casualty rate is likely to be much higher in the present form of war.

Still, having a powerful weapon that can kill an amateur recruit instantly with just one fingertip must do more damage.

“But if you don't deploy a lot, will it reduce the risk of getting into their hands?”

I've thought about how to stop the use of guns... but if that happens, there's a possibility that they'll be put to practical use first.

The "White Mystery" that I created is definitely the most advanced in modern magic technology.

Practical application of armor (holy gear) to the ancient heavy equipment (power loader) Taurus, including the Divine Weapon program using the Japanese. Their weapons are already in action.

Compared to previous research, what a simple long-range weapon to shoot a lead ball with gunpowder.

Or maybe you'll develop a magic gun that will trigger low-level magic, like a holy gear armor gun.

If we choose the means, there is a danger that the magic technology will make a difference.

Even so, they seemed to be inexhaustible with their high morale of fanaticism. Above all, they are armed with a strategic weapon, the Apostle, and possess a tremendous amount of power.

“If we don't maximize our strength, we may be very up against the Crusaders.”

”Yes, that's right... in addition to the simple fighting power, it's the opponent who will use his hand even if he hijacks Avalon.”

It's hard, but in every sense we have to face a total battle.

When they defeat us, it's time for Pandora to perish.

A dimly colored hangar with martial bones. There were now hundreds of armed men gathered there.

They are divided into races and gear. Some swordsmen in light clothes, mages in robes, and heavy knights wearing helmets, while others were half-naked and bare hands.

If you look at this scene, everyone will think it's a gathering of adventurers. It was also a sight you wouldn't see if it didn't happen in such a large number of not-so-large or emergency quests.

A man stands in front of them in a tense air somewhere.

White hair, white skin, blue shiny eyes, and doll-shaped appearance. Dressed in plain black uniforms, it was clear that he was a high-ranking officer of the Homunculus, which was in high demand in the Empire.

“Now, I'm going to start the special selection exam.”

As a result, Ain, a deputy in the Demon King's "Cavalry", declared himself to be the most selected fierce men in the current empire.

Yes, some of the people gathered here are adventurers, and some of the soldiers are already in the Imperial Army. They will be sifted through with more confidence, as inspired by the special selection.

As the core elite of the Imperial Army.

"This time, it will be the first exam. There is no quorum for the number of passes. All you have to do to pass is complete the exam.”

In other words, everyone can pass, and everyone can be disqualified.

However, many predicted that some tests that did not establish a quota at the outset would not be as demanding.

"So, the challenge of the first exam is ----"

Along the way of Ain's dialogue, the door of the hangar opens with a gong and a harsh roar.

Instead of just a door, a gate-like opening and closing was opened so that the bridge over the castle would be lowered -- a strong wind blowing in the moment.

Some of them suddenly exposed to the strong wind pressure of the cold air and spoke up unexpectedly.

But the most surprising thing is the other side of the open entrance. It was a scene that spread there.

Blue sky.

The stunning sky-blue sky was spread out.

But it is not a clear sky without clouds.

A thick, grey cloud was seen below. The clouds that are supposed to float high in the sky are below where you stand.

"And, it's flying..."

Seriously, it's on the sky!

No, I can't believe that big boat really flies.

The exclamation leaked from those who flew over the sky for the first time.

This is the rear hangar of the Sky Battleship Shangri-La.

It is now taking off from Pandemonium and sailing over the vast Atlas Desert.

However, at the time of gathering in this hangar, it had not yet started, and if we stay here without windows, we will not know if the ship has flown. They were not informed that Shangri-La was due to fly.

There are very few people who can experience flying. Only people who represent Harpy and have the ability to fly, or can ride flying cavalry such as Tenma and Flying Dragon.

Even if you're a high-ranking adventurer, you won't be able to experience flying like that.

"Silence."

When I make noise on my first flight for a while, Ain flies out to warn me.

They were gathered for testing, not just for aerial sightseeing. There is a need for rapid progress.

“The challenge of the primary exam is to jump off here and land unharmed on the ground.”

At the time the door was opened in the air, although somehow I had my sense, I hesitated when I was told to do so.

Even the fearless mighty men had no choice but to hesitate a little if they told them to jump off the clouds for the first time.

“It doesn't matter how you land. You can use your Weapon Arts-enhanced legs to stand up straight, or you can use magic to slow down your fall. However, it must be landed solely on the basis of personal abilities. Anyone who lands with the support of their peers or magic will be disqualified.”

Huh, first of all, let's try it once and for all?

"That's why you brought me all the way up to the sky, so you're so stubborn, aren't you, Devil King?"

The presentation of the content of the primary exam results in a resurgence of rumbling.

Some people were enthusiastic that they were superior, others were gathering together in a party to get their temper, or others were observing the calmly opened sky.

“Those who are not confident should decline at this time. In addition, if you are injured, you will be rescued immediately."

Ein quickly puts his hand on it, and the large vision on the wall of the hangar lights up.

On the screen, there was a smiling figure of Nell.

This Doctor General Nell is leading the rescue team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you just avoid instant death, any injuries will be cured, so please jump in peace."

Nell waved her hand at the Royal Smile.

The pure white healing sorcerer (Priest) robe wrapped around him, but the five-star ranking chapter shining brightly on his chest showed the rank of a lieutenant general.

"Now, let's begin the primary exam. In numerical order, descend ----"

GOOOOHEVUN!!

And the small shadow that rushed through like a hurricane while screaming, jumped out of the hangar first.

"I told you to order numbers." Leki's Idiot "

Then, while jerking off the silver hair wavy by the gust, the dark-skinned magician girl ran after her and jumped down without any fear or care.

"Damn, it's my fault for letting such a little girl get ahead of me." Hey, let's go, you Spardas are freaking out in the sky!! "

With that, Kai, with his sword on his back, jumped out with a scream of temper echoing through the hangar.

We're coming too!

"Who's freaking out? This is it!"

I'll do it ahhhhh!

”Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”

"Ah, don't push it a bit, I'm not ready yet..."

The challengers, who were on fire in their battles, threw themselves into the air.

To them jumping down one after another,

"Dangerous, please descend in numerical order"

Ain drew attention to the law, but none had ears to hear.
