Kuro no Maou

Apparently, the Crusaders have completely left the soldiers, and the large white group that was pushing them across the Rhone River now has no shadow to see.

There are probably just a handful of troops lurking around the opposite shore to monitor this one.

I suspect the main unit has returned to Wat village next to the village of Alsace by now.

"I managed to protect you today."

I squirm and meditate my eyes on the bed.

I don't really want you to rest in the guild room, but Mo told me that the rest was also in the job, so I pulled back a bit.

My demon bullets (Barrett Arts) and machine guns, which are the greatest firepower to stop infantry assaults, can't both go off the gate, either me or Mo will always be on guard in the future.

If this were just a human being, it would be a medium hard security system, but my body is far tougher than a human being, and Skeleton's mo is half as close to a magical creature, so we don't need a lot of rest, we can move well for a week each other.

But most species, starting with humans, don't, fatigue builds up if you don't give them a good rest, while causing a great loss of power.

Having said that, it is an adventurer who is here, as long as he can take a break with a precise shift, so much so that Ning Lo Quest is happy to sleep in the Alliance bed rather than in the attached wild lodge.

Of course, there is no bed for everyone, so more than half will sleep on the floor.

"But with more dead people, you can't even say that..."

He said the number of dead in today's battle was two, and when the enemy approached the barrier, he was unluckily hit by a thrown spear and died.

From the results alone, it can be described as a low rate of wear and tear, operationally a great success, that I don't think stopped multiple enemy forces with just a hundred people there.

But even so, it's not easy to break it off.

It's common sense that an adventurer's death is self-inflicted, but the blame is not the same as dying at his own discretion or under my command.

One of my errors in judgment takes a person's life, and I realize once again when I hear the reports of the dead that it is a terrible thing.

"- You can worry about as much later as you want, I'm ready now, me and everyone, buy time to evacuate no matter how much sacrifice you make."

I'm not in shock because I'm worried about something extra right now.

The only thing I should think about and worry about is the operation, how the enemy is going to move, how he's going to attack and how he's going to deal with it.

Thinking is a pile, especially the data obtained in today's battle is invaluable, no matter what, the first large-scale battle that frontally collided with the Crusaders, the previously unknown power of the enemy, it turns out how to fight.

"As it turns out, it's a great victory, two dead people over here, and more than a thousand dead and wounded are no surprise."

There is healing magic, so the number of people who have definitely died is also considerable, although it is possible that the wounded will be returned to the front immediately if tomorrow too.

I'm pretty sure we could have sharpened the Crusaders' strength a lot in today's First World War.

However, it can somehow be inferred from the state of the opposite shore that no blow has been inflicted enough to reach a third of what is seen as total annihilation, which is unlikely to lead to the collapse of the army itself.

But still, I started a trap dropping bridges, and as a battle flow, I'm pretty sure everything went well, no, should I say it went too well.

This is not the end of the battle, in the long run we will be sure to retreat from here, unless the enemy is so frightened that all troops retreat.

If enemy commanders had any pride at all, they would be mad at the outcome of today's battle, because they couldn't mobilize all those soldiers to drop one of these little villages.

For example, the next time they attack me, they may use wear and tear or something.

Simple but certain, if that method of warfare is taken, Alsace will undoubtedly be dropped first.

"I knew the time limit for crucifixion was a neck, but now there's nothing I can do about it, how can I prevent interrupted time... after all, is there anything more to prevent than relying on power?"

The only solution is for everyone to work as hard as they do today, and there can be no easy way to prepare reversal measures that would exhaust enemies on a thousand basis.

No, I'd say we're already lucky that the crucifix went so well in the first place.

The operation would have been broken in the first place if the Crusader soldiers had been tougher than expected and had the power to come in without a barrage of machine guns.

No matter how many barbed wires and walls there are, it is half inevitable that they will be crushed by an overwhelming difference in force, and because of the assumption that they will be able to stop the pushing infantry assault with crucible fire, I thought it was likely enough to stop the enemy in the village of Alsace for a week.

And today, the power of machine guns has been demonstrated, after that, it's a matter of how far we can manage to cover it with our efforts and guts, which would be as good a war situation as we can fight on a level of reciprocity.

"And I really didn't know Lily could stop the Tenma Knight Squad by herself... this was the luckiest thing you've ever done"

I know Lily is strong, but I didn't think I could contain all of the Heavenly Horse Knights by myself.

Intercepting the Heavenly Horse Knights flying through Lily and onto the defensive line is therefore the role of the archers who have placed them in guilds, starting with Simon.

As a matter of fact, it was here that I expected the greatest death to occur today.

It can't be done from the front and unharmed, dealing with elite soldiers who attack from the air and can handle magic and martial arts.

But if I opened the lid, the dead in the guild would be zero, and the Heavenly Horse Knight would never come this way in the first place, and Lily had stopped all the troops by herself.

And while Lily was fighting, the Tenma Knights retreated in conjunction with the withdrawal of ground troops.

It happened in real life, but it's hard to believe in Russia, I didn't think Lily the true figure was this strong, or I've never seen a girl Lily fight. Speaking of which,

I don't know what to say, I've fought so hard that I think the dragon is more of an identity than a fairy, no, I really don't think Lily was a better leader. Powerfully...

"But Lily the boulder also has its limits, next time the Heavenly Horse Knight arrives, it will be time to fly up to the Alliance"

It was words of apology that Lily told me when she came back after the enemy retired and stopped fighting.

"I'm sorry, Chrono, I couldn't destroy the Tenma Knight Squad on my own.

I knew I could only defeat a few people with this body with a time limit.

Today I used protection to extend my combat time, but this isn't something I can do so many times, I'm sure I won't be able to stop next time. "

That's all I said, Lily, who returned from the girl to her usual toddler appearance, fell down on my chest on the spot thinking that she had done quite a bit of force on her body.

I immediately transported him to the guild and put him to bed, probably still trying to sleep and regain his health.

"Ha, don't be too impotent, Lily."

I was pretending to be calm, but the truth is, I didn't care about letting one Lily fight the Tenma Knights.

Or Lily, you were going to destroy the troops by yourself, and I told you I was as good a stepping stone as I could...

"Well, it's not a good idea to sneak around... but I'm still worried."

In the meantime, even if the Tenma Knights show up, if Lily is around, I can definitely hold off for half an hour.

Defeated seven people in today's battle, causing serious minor injuries to dozens of troops, next time you fight, you can expect more results than this, no, if the enemy is injured.

Either way, thanks to Lily, it is possible to sharpen the battle power of the Tenma Knight considerably, this one will make quite a sacrifice, but it is also not impossible to push it to a state of devastation.

"If the Tenma Knights can be suppressed, the question is still how much ground can carry."

There are no measures to reverse it, no expectations of reinforcements, and we can only do something about it with our current force.

In fact, shooting from the gate and backup shooting from the guild allowed a considerable number of infantry to be manned throughout the Rhone river crossing.

Though we can't even let the arrow rain because of the low absolute number, the lightning strike magic aimed at the electroshock effect seems to have been effective.

Even if it didn't hit me, I could see the soldier drowning from the gate, who transmitted the water and electrically shocked it, even better from the roof of the guild.

"I think Simon did his best."

Simon, the sniper I personally expected, has eliminated a significant number of magician troops that were deploying across the shore.

Based on my little advice, she's a horrible girl who really built a sniper rifle, but also has to shoot at it with a lot of precision.

Simon and Sue's combo brilliantly cited more results than this one expected.

Seems like a good combination because I saw you two practicing sniping friendly during the prep period, you were still right to thank Sue as an observer.

Speaking of which, as I stormed and fought in the riverbed, it would be thanks to those two that the heads of the enemies that often approached behind me blew away, or that all of a sudden the enemies in front of me bled out of their necks to death.

I can still tell Simon's sniping, but I feel something so horrible about the way Sue fights to erase signs and mow her neck, Vulcan says that that seems to be the force of protection... but when it comes to Rank 4, I realize it's a lot awesome.

"The adventurers are much stronger than I thought, and I can protect them today because they fought with all their dying power."

No words of gratitude, but still, when I think about how much their blood is going to flow ahead, I really get dark anxiety in my chest.

Maybe it's me or someone close to me who dies next.

I can already feel the loss of everyone in the village of Iles in a distant past, but the anger, sorrow and unspeakable sense of loss at that time remain smoking deep down in my heart.

I don't want to think like that again, no, maybe I really want to forget everything and get away with it already.

"... no, don't think about it, I'm already carrying a life other than my own"

Yes, there's already nowhere to escape, because the battle has already begun.
