Kuro no Maou
Episode 104: Crossfire
"That's an amazing number."
Countless white shadows loom as arrows and thunder pierce the pouring river.
It should be sinking quite a few, but the enemy realizes once again that it has an enormous number of troops that just don't care.
"Hey, are you sure you can stop that one?
Irina asks me, who binds a bunch of thunder arrows (Rhine Sagitta) next to me and releases them all to the sky at once.
That voice has half the expectations, half the doubts, and so on.
"It's all right, we can stop it"
Now quietly wait for the enemy to come within range.
"Let Me - In my hometown, the way I fought changed because of me, I can completely prevent the front assault of the infantry"
I shouldn't have, I didn't say, there's no wacky way to say such vague dialogue over this period.
"We'll see if we can really do this in a little while."
"Right, I'm looking forward to it - Yikes!
The enemy will cross the river completely in a few dozen meters.
If you pull this far, you'll have had enough.
"Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts)"
Take the pitch-black tact 'Black Barista Replica' and point its tip straight at the Crusaders.
Tens of millions of ‘loaded’ bullets are already inside you waiting for the compressed black magic to explode.
And the enemy finally steps in, to the flying killing zone (Killzone) of black bullets.
On all bullets, with the special will and hatred to shoot enemies, it is just a resentful word of irony to turn to them who pass away in death.
"Welcome to Alsace, welcome - Shooting (Gatling Burst)"
"What are you talking about? - The Great Stone Shield (Terra Armacildo)!!
I feel like killing. Plus before that, an alarm rings in Knolls' brain, intuitively perceiving the danger.
Until now, his instincts had cut through the crisis, and he had survived, acting as his instincts ordered, in this case immediately deploying intermediate defensive magic to defend himself.
A large shield of rock, shaped by hard stone, protrudes from the bottom of the river, concealing the entire body of a large Knolls.
Sounded at the same time as the killing I feel right after that was the sound of explosions, bursts, destruction - and screaming.
"Hey, what!?
Some hard ‘something’ flies in and slaps the big shield of rocks.
Knolls screams as he feels his rock skin scrape galloping, but no one responds to that voice as one.
My men, who had landed right beside me until earlier on, have already fallen to the ground in unspeakable wreckage.
He's not the only one, there are two, three, four corpses of soldiers - an accelerating increase in that number in just a few seconds.
Knolls finally realizes that there are countless flights of little black bullets.
Bullets flying at high speeds, which are difficult for the ordinary man to see, penetrate the soldier's body relentlessly while drawing a black trajectory, and in some places only one bullet lightly mows his life.
"This is the magic of dark attributes - no, or is this the black magic activated by the protection of evil gods!?
Take a slight peek in the face from the big shield and keep an eye on the forward, which will continue the mysterious bullet attack.
In his eyes were two black figures shooting bullets at soldiers crossing the river, echoing galleries and regular firing noises from both ends of the fence.
(Well, who is the ‘demon’ that I drove Kilvan's troops to destruction!
Whatever the facts, at least for Knolls, the two appearances of a brunette with black robes and a vicious-faced man exposed to his face as it were seemed to embody an image of an incarnation so evil that he said there was no more.
But surprisingly, it is not such a vicious appearance, but the black magic of a threat that instantly builds a pile of corpses.
Knolls confirms that the men are firing bullets from tact and elongated iron cylinders that he has never seen before.
(Was it true what the fleeing soldier was saying, I didn't know we could have a series of attack magic with real instant death powers...)
Countless flying little black bullets, each shot of which pierces the chainmail without difficulty and inflicts fatal wounds.
The survival of the Kilvan squad returning from the village of Iles certainly testified so, but Knolls only had the degree of recognition that 'there is just one amazing adventurer'.
Although he regrets not having taken action against the 'devil' in particular, it is later that Knolls switches his head to concentrate on the fight.
"Stone Wall (Terra Defan)!
It's too dangerous to face that black bullet storm on this scene without any shield, Knolls activates defensive magic that is inferior but capable of preventing the widest range.
A stone wall is formed by poking up the river bottom, but it is considerably thinner than a boulder large shield (Terra Armacildo) and cannot exert enough defense to fully guarantee your safety.
(Didn't let the magician squad cross the river come out on my back, or I protected the soldiers by myself)
Many soldiers rush to the stone wall (Terra Defan) first, but no matter how good they are, there is only one soldier known to cover them.
Those who fall on their way to the stone walls, those who are far from the stone walls in the first place, or those whose bullets penetrate and are bombed unluckily if they hide themselves in the stone walls, and the decline in the number of casualties, do not have a toothpick.
(More than having no means to defend, stopping strides only adds to the damage in reverse, there is nothing else here than being prepared for further sacrifices and daring to storm!
"Don't be frightened! Assault! Assault! No!
The numbers are overwhelmingly in our favor! Turn on the kata at once!!
Raise your voice and Knolls will issue the Assault Command again.
If you and the soldiers have already decided to jump into the dead, and you can't leave anyway, I understand that there is no way to survive unexpectedly moving forward.
"Whoa, whoa! Assault!
"Target that black demon!
"Yes, you can win if you kill me!!
"Kill the devil!
"In the name of God!
"Kill the Demons! Kill the devil!!
Stepping over the corpse of a fellow fallen by a bullet, the Crusader soldiers raise their voices and advance.
"Yes! Move on!!
Knolls confirms the soldiers who carry out the assault and decides to be ready to go himself.
"Deployment - Defense Enhancement (Protec Boost)"
The moment you applied a minimal defensive enhancement and tried to storm out of the big shield,
Zugan!
Something huge pierced the big shield, and the shock blew Knolls heavily backwards.
"Guhhh!!
In his hazy consciousness, he did see two black round-tails penetrating the boulder shield (Terra Armacildo) in his sight and a ‘device’ that seemed to be the firing source beyond it.
"A dome cannon (barista)... why even such a thing..."
"Priest!
"The priest was hit!?
The soldiers' voices feel far away from Knolls.
"Ugh, don't wander, I'm safe..."
I can understand that the two soldiers support themselves, but my vision is distorted around like I'm intoxicated, so I can't even recognize them clearly to my face.
"Don't worry about me, go, I won't allow you to retreat -"
In his seemingly interrupted consciousness, Knolls clearly saw several shades in the sunny weather he looked up to, even in his distorted vision.
"- The Tenma Knight Squad is here, now, you can win..."
With a grin on his mouth, Knolls let go of his consciousness there.
Now that these two are aligned, a large army of infantry storming from the ground and a Heavenly Knight unit attacking from the sky, the devil's defensive line in the village of Alsace will surely fall.
Knolls was convinced of the victory that way, too, at this moment.
"Wow! He's an Eli weapon!
Holding a large machine gun provided for the trolley, Mozurn shoots bullets all over in excitement.
A pitch-black robe with a face and a rightly reaper's appearance, and a situation that is now taking a massive amount of human life, also deserves to be called Reaper.
"Oh no! Thank you for coming so far from across the ocean to die!!
Hyah! Only the high appearance that I just heard was not in line with the image of Reaper.
But the machine gun that operated it boasted the power of a special sickle that Reaper possessed, and could not be used without him, the Dark Mage.
Chrono requested the creation of a machine gun within the day he met Simon, but in a different world where neither science nor technology nor the mechanical industry has developed, the same machine gun that exists on Earth cannot be built.
What Chrono wanted was substitute magic for 'Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts)', flying bullets with magic instead of flying bullets with gunpowder, that's what I wanted him to build.
In other words, this is the magic scepter (staff) shaped like a machine gun, and this is the type of 'gun' in this other world.
The exterior is probably inappropriate from the chrono of knowing a real machine gun just because a barrel of steel is popping out of a rectangular elongated box with a grip.
But its interior incorporates magic that mimics the technique of Chrono's "Demon Bullets (Barrett Arts)," allowing for a series of bullets to be fired in reality.
And only Mozurn, the darkness magician of the lineage closest to the black magic of Chrono, can use this machine-gun embedded procedure.
"Huh! Akan, even if the barrel is burned already, he said he replaced it quickly!!
"" Ha!
Two goblins begin replacing the machine gun barrel immediately.
I have been practicing for this day and again, so I do a smooth replacement job with flowing motion.
The design idea for this magical machine gun in the first place is to 'cover the technique with matter’.
For example, the barrel currently being replaced has effects such as the firing direction of the bullet, ballistic stability, and so on.
If we want to magically achieve the firing of bullets, these parts must also use their magic and concentration and be structured as a surgical formula.
This is how we sharpen the necessary technique by preparing a ‘substance’ called a barrel of guns.
The magician's weapon, the 'wand', may be said to have exactly the same effect as this machine gun, some types of which are relieving the burden on the operator by carving the procedure in advance rather than ‘matter’.
Chrono's "Demon Bullet (Barrett Arts)" is a magic created in the first place based on the image of a gun, on the contrary, it was possible to skip most of the surgical ceremony if there was some degree of gun ‘catachy’.
The magical effects necessary for the firing of this machine gun are these two: ‘loading of bullets’ and 'pressure to fire a bullet out instead of gunpowder'.
If the bullet 'summons' directly into the chamber and later applies pressure internally due to dark attributes equivalent to an explosion of gunpowder, the bullet will be shot straight out through the barrel.
Mozurn is able to perform these two magical effects successfully, which is why he is making real machine guns as destructive and continuous as Chrono.
By the way, there was no trigger on the gun's leg because it magically substituted the part that fired the bullet at the heart.
"Husband, how's Sotch?
Lily's psychosensitivity (telepathy) currently covers the entire vicinity of the main gate of the village of Alsace, so she can freely exchange her will if she is within this range.
Mozurn communicated towards Chrono, a few dozen meters away.
"I can still keep shooting, what about Mo?
"I have a bullet, but the barrel drains faster than I thought - at this rate and everything else."
"After all, did you have endurance problems with the Rapid Products?
But that's all I can do right now, so do it while I cool it down so I don't crush it. "
"When I leave it to you! You look like this and you're good at saving money playing!
Ha ha, and Chrono must have heard the usual cheerful laughter with a bitter laugh.
"" We're done replacing the barrel, Mr. Mozurn. Huh!
"Oops! Just stick it out again and resume shooting. YEAH!!
Grasping the grip of the machine gun again, Mozurn began a full burst of shooting at a large army that pushed him without fear.
Crusaders who carry out frontal assaults in overwhelming numbers, keeping this away from them on critical lines, thanks to the crossfire (crossfire) correctly carried out by Chrono and Mozurn.
The idea in the first place was due to Chrono's experience of killing nearly a hundred Kilvan troops alone in the village of Iles.
At that time he was in a mild state of fanaticism (basark) due to the effect of the curse, but the memory itself remains vivid.
When Chrono became the leader of the Alliance of Adventurers and was thinking about an interception operation with no wisdom, he realized once again that 'shooting' would have a tremendous effect on a large number of opponents.
Krono thought he could unilaterally kill nearly a hundred soldiers on his own simply because he had more compatibility than a difference in strength, an overwhelming weapon (magic) performance called a sword VS gun.
And think, like a series of machine guns the same as yourself, no, that's what you can do if you can have one more method of attack that sweeps machine guns, 'crucible fire' that will have an overwhelming effect on infantry assaults.
Crucible fire is one of the methods of warfare that uses machine guns and the like, called crossfires because the lines emitted from the two firearms intersect, and it is a method of warfare that has great effect in defense.
This method of warfare appeared in World War I, but a travel-forward fortress strategy in the Japanese dew war was simply on Chrono's head as an example of exercising the power of machine guns.
And now, the sight of an infantry assault being unilaterally crushed, which would once have been repeated in a travel fortress, has become a reality on the Alsace Village Defense Line.
With more than a dozen meters to go opposite the shore, no one can tread that slight distance.
Feet is taken by the stream of the river and the speed at which it runs drops dramatically further away from the opposite shore under this circumstance.
Still, the soldier keeps moving on, until this black bullet rain stops, without knowing the fact that you can never cross the river.
