Kuro no Maou

The fortification work began within that day.

In addition to adventurers, the Alliance has gathered Dwarf-centric workers called by the Alliance Master Bean, who are already on the road to construction.

Detailed command and supervision in the field is not Chrono's job, but Chrono himself requests it with regard to the equipment to be built.

The requests indicated are as follows:

Part 1 - Strengthening the Rhone River Embankment.

We don't have enough time, manpower, materials and everything to build a fence from the start, so naturally there's nothing better than using the stuff that should be in front of us.

An embankment is a hydraulic structure that does not infiltrate the waters of rivers that exalt dust and sand, and therefore its construction is so sturdy that it cannot be compared to a wooden fence.

Put your hands on this and take the place of a strong fence.

Even so, because the embankment of a small village is not so high, it is forbidden to expect excessively.

To put it further, the new fence, whose foundation is the embankment but built on it, essentially takes advantage of the dismantling of the wooden fence that originally surrounded the village of Alsace.

As mentioned above, there is little reliance on the lack of ingredients and time, but there was nothing I could do about all this.

Incidentally, the reason why defensive magic cannot replace defensive magic is because the effect time is fixed.

The moment it is activated, it is possible to create huge and robust walls, but basically in a short time, degradation begins and the shape cannot be maintained.

Installing a constantly activated junction, like the walls of Daedalus, requires the technology, equipment and time it deserves, and there is no way we can build such a huge amount of magic equipment on the Chronos today.

Therefore, as a classic but absolutely certain way to defend ourselves, we have to build a fence from scratch.

Part 2 · Build a way out in the basement of the guild.

This combines an escape route with a supply route.

It is only natural for Chrono to create an escape route beyond having to ensure that all adventurers have the means to make sure that Shimazu's 'dumping' takes them back to hell as if they had no hair.

Most of all, it has been found from the beginning of the plan that it will be possible to call it trenches rather than tunnels, which are piercing works with only a period of three days.

In addition, with more than a hundred adventurers stationed in total, securing routes to replenish food, water and other supplies will also be mandatory.

If Chrono is the only one, he can sleep and rest for a week, act (if he doesn't run out of magic) without drinking and eating, but the others don't.

Morale cannot be maintained without adequate replenishment, especially in the case of mere cooperation, as is the case this time.

Part 3 · Refurbished to make it easier to act inside the guild.

This is to destroy the walls and ceilings in advance to make it easier to communicate, replenish supplies, etc., when fighting.

These three are what I've been instructing so far.

"Insufficient materials for wall protection"

The problem arose quickly.

Bean continued with his fingers through the line laying the barrier shown on the map by Chrono.

"As you can see, we are a small village without timber, stone, and all sorts of other monsters.

I don't even have time for this. I can cover a lot of things like this. "

"I'd like you to make this for me."

Chrono removes a single wire from the shadow space.

It is about 30 cm long and the dull glow can be seen at a glance that its material is iron-like metal.

If that's all, then it's not a rare thing, iron wire is used in various places such as traps that capture animals from tied materials, and there will be quite a bit of stock anywhere in a blacksmith factory that deals with iron products.

However, it can be understood that what Chrono has removed is not just steel wire because small thorns grow at equal intervals.

"What the hell is Sole? Thorned, iron wire?

"Yes, it's called 'barbed wire'.

It's literally just a thread of iron with thorns. "

However, Krono placed the barbed wire in his hand on the table.

"If you're a human opponent, it definitely has a stopping effect.

It may not work for a species with hard scales or skin like Lizardman or Golem. "

Even if it wasn't Chrono, the majority of people living in the modern world would have seen barbed wire.

It has the effect of preventing intruders by wrapping it around restricted areas and fences on private property, but such a cot didn't have to be deliberately explained, and it was immediately understandable even if it was the first time a resident of another world saw barbed wire.

In the first place, there is a material called iron wire itself, and it may have been a matter of time before it was developed and disseminated.

"Uhm, I see, if we can just straighten this out, we can prevent a wider area easier than putting up a wooden fence without gaps"

If you then wrap it around the finished fence as well, you can expect further defensive effects as it is not easily touched.

"As long as you have iron wire, you can easily create it by simply wrapping something short around it every few dozen centimeters.

Tomorrow we'll get a bunch of wire from other villages, so we can build as much barbed wire as we can and use it as a barricade. "

"Okay, let's make it right away"

Bean, who instantly understood as much of its effect as his head, nodded loudly.

"But if a person wearing thick full-body armor is his opponent, can't it be prevented?

"The crusader's basic gear is a surcoat on the chainmail and not so heavy gear, the vast majority of infantry, and the cavalry can also be prevented.

It's just barbed wire isn't universal, and some people will be able to get over it.

But it's our adventurers' job to deal with them. "

While Chrono instructed work on the fortification in the village of Alsace, members of the 'Vulcan Power' were proceeding inside the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden).

"It's not hot..."

Blurry Vulcan.

But that's not because he's weak. If a thick fur-covered beast wears a surcoat that covers his entire body and walks in the early summer sun, it's only natural that one of the complaints about the heat will come out.

Because all the party members are made up of beasts, they have to keep walking with the same problems as Vulcan equally.

"This... is it really going to work?"

What the Beasts are wearing from their heads because they feel hot and bitter is a white circo-t, arguably a symbol of a crusader soldier, in short, a wack that they are now disguised as enemies.

Why does it need to be imitated like that, because Chrono ordered it as Operation Scorched Earth followed by a second operation to damage the enemy, commonly known as Operation MPK?

In other worlds where there is no English alphabet or anything else, everyone except Chrono mistakenly thought "Mpeekay" was a single word.

"I don't know what Empy is, but if I don't succeed, I'll beat the crap out of you, Krono bastard."

Incidentally, the surcoat worn by the members is the real one taken from the bodies of crusader soldiers, but because Vulcan was not the size to wear it, it was bespoke by stitching together the white sheets that were in the guild and painting the emblem of the cross with dye.

Vulcan felt hotter than the rest because of the thicker fabric than the original surcoat.

"Everybody stop. We've got a target."

An eye-catching beast archer who was ahead speaks out.

Well, let's just get this over with and go to Hejito Village.

At the end of Vulcan's gaze, which puts his hand on the pattern of the great sword he bears, was the rank 1 monster 'Goblin', whose settlement lives widely in the Fairy Forest (Fairy Garden).

Meanwhile, Sue, a rank four bandit slime, was once on a cliff in the Galahad Mountains, where Chrono climbed all the way up with Lily on his back.

"He's pretty good at putting out unscrupulous‘ quests', too."

A strong gust of wind swept through the rock wall and the white surcoat wrapped around it.

But put your hands and toes back into their original form, jelly slime, and stick them on a vertical wall with gripping force unlikely to be human, and you don't see any danger at all.

She climbs up the wall to make a crawl forward without letting go of her hands and feet as they were.

"Well, we're almost to our destination, we have to try not to delay everyone, hey!

The place to aim is a cave nested by Rank 4 monster Garuda.

The only person they could do this quest with was her best at covert behavior.

The three elf sisters of "Princess Sanhou", who perform reconnaissance missions, were lurking in the woods along the northwest street.

"Wow, the line is still going on... there were so many of them"

Hannah, the three women, who saw directly with her eyes a long line of crusaders going down the street from the shade of a tree, recognises once again the magnitude of a hostile existence.

An army in a white surcoat with a cross painted flag, and the same design, marches neatly with all its footprints.

The long spear of the infantry is forested, and the heavy-duty cavalry, with its soldiers and horseback mounted in silver armor, walks in grandeur side by side.

"I've only seen such an army in Daedalus."

The two women, Laura, remind me of the commemorative parade of Daedalus I saw one day.

The white monochrome crusaders contrast against the pitch-black Daedalus army, united by black armor as well as Garvinal, the black dragon.

They are reminded that this white army has truly defeated the Daedalus army when they see the army in front of them walking through Daedalus territory in grandeur.

"Look, sister, up!

When Laura and Irina raised their gaze to Hannah's words, they saw several shadows over the sky.

"Tenma Knight (Pegasus Night)!? It's a real pain in the ass to be there..."

Irina, who is always calm and calm, cannot hide her surprise in the boulders, either, in the troops of the Tenma Knight, who spreads her unclean pure white wings and brilliantly forms herself into formation to gently go into the sky.

As a riding organism, Pegasus is overwhelmingly more expensive than a horse, in addition to which the technology required to be able to ride and fly freely through the sky is so advanced that it cannot be compared to horseback riding.

The Heavenly Horse Knight, which takes both money and cultivation time. But just because he can fly through the sky, he becomes a soldier of so much value that he has extra to compensate for his disadvantages.

Moreover, the Tenma Knight is not a cheap substitute for any urban state to possess, just because there are troops can be an example of the country's high national power.

It was only natural for Irina to feel a sense of crisis over her opponent's strength and the need to fight a powerful Heavenly Horse Knight directly.

"Looks like the scouts that attacked Iles and wiped them out before were just a few of the enemies.

As Chrono said, the enemy is a large army with all its gear and numbers. "

"Are you sure you want to fight me?

"Absolutely fucked up this time"

"But..."

Irina smiles toward her two sisters who speak of anxiety.

Fears and anxieties swirling all over her chest are the same to her, but she pushes and kills it to create the gentle look she usually does.

"I'm not going to be a wack to abandon the villagers.

Besides, we've crossed dangerous bridges many times before, and we'll be fine, we'll make sure to make this emergency quest a success. "

To the words of their eldest daughter, they nod forcefully.

If you are the kind of person who flees before fighting in the first place in fear of the mightiness of your enemies, you cannot continue your adventurer life until you reach rank 3.

It is because we have defeated the formidable enemies that appear so far and overcome all sorts of difficulties that we now have the "Three Hunts Princess".

"Come on, it's time to go home.

Pegasus is looking out of the sky, so I'm gonna go around, but I'm gonna go through the back of the woods, okay? "

"" Yes, sister ""

The three elves completely killed the signs and disappeared into the back of the dim forest.
