Kuro no Maou

The next day, on the first day of the month of the first fire instead, the representative members of the Alliance of Adventurers were meeting together in the Guild's conference room, which had a dark night-like appearance due to the blackening of Chrono.

"Let's hear the reports first in turn, that the MPK operation in Wat Village has also been broken?

"Yes, a priest, presumably an enemy general, has laid down Garuda."

In response to Chrono's inquiry, Irina, her eldest daughter, answers by making herself the leader of "Princess Sanhou", a representative of the reconnaissance force.

"Garuda seems to have injured quite a few infantry soldiers, but unfortunately it seems that no damage was done to heavily equipped knights, Heavenly Horse knights, etc.

The priest, skillfully handling the magic of earth and light, has led the way, beginning with Garuda and destroying the monsters of Wat village. "

"Well, bumping into a rank 4 garuda didn't turn out pretty good"

"Oh, my God, is Operation MPIKE and doing it a failure?

Vulcan, one of the MPK operative members, is cramping his giant body over two metres into a chair.

"If one person has reduced the enemy's power, it may not be a success, because we don't know the exact number of people actually killed and injured.

Besides, the best part of the battle was delaying the march of the Crusaders, which I predicted would come in as little as three days, until today. "

Thanks to this, I was able to prepare much more than I could finish in three days.

The Kronos don't know much more about how Operation Scorched Earth and Operation MPK have affected the march of the Crusaders, but in reality the result that the enemy has taken less than a week to get here is of paramount importance.

"Apparently, the enemy could have recognised once again that he had the power to the point of being able to pin down a rank 4 Garuda without difficulty, and I want you to be careful not to lick him that he's an army of only humans"

Until now, scout troop reports have put information such as enemy figures and equipment in the ears of adventurers, but if reality shows a track record of defeating high-ranking monsters, it will mean that we can better understand their power.

Most of all, after this busy interception preparation period, they remained nervous enough to say that they were no longer alerted to human opponents.

"In the end. Oh, what was that about, Empy?

"What, didn't I tell you?

"I didn't say it!

Vulcan who can roar gao.

"I don't think you know what I'm talking about, Monster Player Killer, acronym in my hometown language and abbreviated MPK."

"Huh?"

"Using monsters to kill enemies (players), as it stands, don't worry too much because there's no deeper meaning to it"

In the first place, MPK (Monster Player Killer) is a prank that Chrono used to pass on to some online game he was playing before he was still summoned to another world, that is, where he was in high school (?).

Players who play games can't go through the offense with each other, so they can't usually defeat other players.

But use the habits of active monsters that come after you everywhere as you approach a certain distance (into view) to target a large number of monsters to yourself.

And as it is, other players are fighting, or moving away from the computer towards defenseless players on break.

And in front of the other player, I teleport and take off the scene, and the remaining monster switches targets to another player who was on the spot, a malicious play in which they are slaughtered.

By the way, some friends of Chrono were masters of this MPK.

It was MPK maneuvers, guiding wild monsters, hitting crusaders, and that kind of maneuvers that inspired Horn, too.

It can also be described as an inhumane operation to lead monster children to the village, but since such an operation is not a special contradiction among adventurers who do not choose the means if it is to succeed in the quest, the Vulcans cooperated in the execution of the MPK operation, especially without questioning the character of Chrono.

Finally, the angry monster would have made the crusaders who came to the village more definitely hostile, as he properly disguised them with crusader costumes for the adventurers who kidnap their children (or eggs).

"The important thing is that the Crusaders have captured Wat Village, which means they can attack it tomorrow."

In Chrono's words, the adventurers finally realized that the time for the showdown was near, and there was more tension indoors.

"Earlier, enemy scouts appeared near the village, and you already know that this one is standing ready for interception."

Krono nodded one at Irina's report and continued his words.

"Perhaps, no, surely the Crusaders are launching an attack on Alsace tomorrow morning.

Mr. Bean, how far does the construction person seem to go?

Make it the guild master of the Alsace Village Guild and start reporting after Bean, who is also in charge of guild fortification work, coughs up one "whoa ho".

"I've checked all the defenses I can, because of the advantageous wire, I won't allow the infantry to break in. Instead, it's up to Omae to stop the Heavenly Horse Knight and the Heavy Knight."

"Enough, I'll stop and show you both"

Bean said he expects the strong Chrono affirmation with a lavish laugh.

"Oh, and I just finished installing the array."

"What are you, that big barista?

Behind Chrono's brain, I recall the weapon also used in Daedalus Royal Castle, which now combines two arrows like Marutai, a giant barista brought to me by Morning Bean and several other Dwarves pulling their luggage.

"I left it at the main entrance for now, so use it well"

I don't know where the hell you brought that stuff from, but I thought the prying around it was wild and Chrono decided to accept it with all due respect.

"Thank you for a lovely romance weapon, Mr. Bean"

"Hey, I mean, use this opportunity to crush him."

Whatever the origin, the increase in fire power is where Chrono wants it most.

Chrono decided to ask about 'machine guns', a method of increasing the firepower that he should have, although he was an irregular person who did not anticipate the introduction of baristas.

"How's Simon?

"Yes!

Simon rises slightly nervous because of the crowd of adventurers.

several gazes concentrate on him, but only one of them,

"Ugh."

There was a hostile Lily gaze somewhere.

"Um, brother"

"What's up?

"Something Lily is staring at..."

"Come on, this is Lily, you still care!?

"Ugh!

To Lily, who swells her cheeks just to say how grumpy she is, Chrono was remembering the moment of her encounter with Simon.

Blowing lab (storage) doors, a girl with full magic Lily stuffing herself in a shivering Simon, and Chrono desperately stopping it.

Since then, Lily has been wary of strangeness and hostility to Simon even when she returns to her childhood.

Chrono didn't know why that fairy Lily, who was kind to everyone, was such a tough attitude only to Simon, but although he had made an effort to get along with the two of them before he knew it, the achievement still didn't seem to have materialized.

"I'm sorry, go on"

Chrono, holding the swollen lily over his lap, prompts Simon to talk with an awkward look on his face.

"Oh, yeah, uh, machine guns are done for now.

And then it depends on how many different barrels and bullets you can have. "

"Well done, I'll continue to build the bullets.

The barrel will have to be deceived and deceived with little changeover and magic. "

Rather, it is an achievement that has only really been completed in a week, which is too much.

"Yeah, we're not going to be able to implement the proper cooling mechanism on the boulder right now."

"Enough, if the machine gun is‘ two ', we can always stop the enemy from storming.

Mr. Mo, are you okay with the machine gun usage?

"Ooh, when I leave it to the eagle!

Mozulun, who represents so much confidence in Thumbs-up, he's always in good shape, but there's the Rank 4 adventurer of the boulder, Krono decides he'll be fine.

"Okay -"

Then, after listening to some reports on replenishment and the placement of members, Chrono said at the end.

"Finally, tomorrow, the enemy will come here.

As it turns out, we've only got a week to prepare for this. It's a quick line of defense, but we've got to figure it out here. "

Beans, the last of the evacuees, will leave after this, and if they break through here in a day or two, they will definitely follow the path of total annihilation, including them.

"We have to stop our enemies here for at least a week, it'll be a painful battle, but everyone's life depends on us, let's fight with all our dying power"

Chrono, who said so quietly words of determination, I don't know what each of the assembled adventurers thought.

"Fight, oh!

Lily lifts her little fist and raises her voice.

"Ooh."

Fiona also followed Lily's voice with no expression, and at the next moment,

"Oops!!

"Ooh!!

"Oops!!

All the adventurers gathered here stand up and speak up.

A whale wave so brave as to rock the guild, the adventurers' will became one at Chrono's.

On the second day of the month of the first fire, a white army with a cross comes from beyond the Rhone River, where thin rays and white fog can set in.

"Is that..."

It is to the crusader general in charge of the western occupation of Daedalus who leads the line, the devout crusader, Priest Noles.

"You're right, what buildings (guilds) you think are magically fortified"

Nod and respond to the words of your men standing next to you.

"I see, it's also convincing that the scouts hated the Black Hall (Black Box), what a disastrous color of darkness"

The forest stretching to the left and right of the street is sparse and the riverbed of the Rhone River is widened, with a single bridge on the river leading to the village of Alsace.

A bush of iron wire was set up along with a wooden fence, as if to whom it refused to enter.

And just beside the main entrance of the village, a black guild creeps up.

But I don't know what to expect.

Knolls has no fear of the demons who will be waiting in front of him.

300 no matter how many enemies you estimate, so small that you can't compare them given the total strength of your own army.

The only tactic to take advantage of this overwhelming battle power difference is a square and frontal breakthrough.

The river is ahead, but to bypass the soldiers and complete the siege is difficult given the terrain around here, and even if it could be done again, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Too much time will make you miss the Demon Clan and you won't be able to accomplish your purpose in the first place, so this time you can't take a detour tactic that can be called the usual means of Operation Crossing the River.

Nor can we drain cavalry for pursuit, so we basically won't let them participate in the attack.

Though there is such a 'tying’, even if there were only about 300 soldiers in hand, it is easy to defeat them, such as the Heavy Knight (Armor Knight), dressed in steel full-body armor and physically and magically resistant, and the Tenma Knight (Pegasus Knight), which boasts the manoeuvrability of the threat of dancing in the sky, and the Demon Clan, who, just with these two, prepared the defenses for rapid creation.

Knolls lays down that life he himself has been waiting for, convinced of his must-win.

"Let the attack begin!!

But luckily he still doesn't know.

Krono's hatred of the Crusaders and the fortified guild's standing Alsace Village defense line infused with modern knowledge, and all of his own magic, how much this is a threatened killing zone (Killzone) that imposes a strong blood sacrifice.

Thus began an attack by the Alliance of Adventurers and the Crusaders on a muddy battle to wash blood with blood.
