Kuro no Maou

The 6th of the month of the first fire.

I woke up in the middle of the night and the shelling started early in the morning and by sundown I'd be done shooting, so the fireballs wouldn't pour down this time of year.

On the rooftop of the guild, I wait for dawn, looking at the starry sky full of heaven not seen in modern Japan.

Because there was nothing there yesterday, it would be today if the other side were to set it up, because that's what I expected, even if I saw a large group of crusaders who showed up with the sunrise, I just wondered if they had finally come.

"All in battle, the enemy won't take a step back today, they're seriously coming to drop this place."

He watched a row of white long serpents of the Crusaders floating in the morning sun, feeling the hasty signs of adventurers running off the roof to convey his orders.

Infantry soldiers with long spears with sharp tips, magicians with long canes embedded with brilliant demonic stones, heavy knights dressed in silver armor, heavenly horse knights who fly slowly behind the morning sun, they all come straight to the land to poke that symbolically flighting cross flag.

Perhaps today there will be more blood than ever before, if you hit one poorly, it could be wiped out. I feel so much pressure coming from a white legion looming from the other side.

But you can't leave, you can't leave. Yes, I am here to help one or more people, to kill one or more demons.

- Let's go.

Northwest Avenue leading to the village of Alsace continues with the same exhilaration Noles did four days ago.

"Hey, how's it going upstream?

"Ha! I can't see the enemy magician, nor have I found any signs of manipulation"

Knolls was satisfied to hear a report from the scouts who had returned just now.

In the first attack, the bridge was dropped and caught in a trap called water attack, and the cannon water was not allowed to flow from upstream again.

However, the water attack, which can bury many soldiers in one place, naturally has been vigilant since that day, and the current report only means to a certain extent, just in case.

It's sunny today, so clear that you don't have to worry about the river flooding with sudden heavy rain.

Towards such a refreshing blue sky, the black hall (black box), built in black, looks like it symbolizes the will of the demonic clan to fight thoroughly, as if the night had not yet left.

No one here knows that, albeit powerful to the extent of inferior attack magic, he demonstrated a high defense that was almost intact and able to withstand roughly four days of shelling.

But starting with Knolls, the Crusader soldier thinks that the abominable black hall (Black Box, he said, will surely disappear from this earth today.

"The enemy has no plan, and he's ready to cross the river."

On the banks of the Rhone River, which opens in front of you, heavy knights and sorcerers deploy.

In the last battle, there was a lot of damage caused by a sorcerer deployed to the opposite shore being shot through the head and killed instantly by an enemy's precise ranged attack.

Now alert to it, he quickly advanced his troops to the Rhone River while successfully securing a safe zone with defensive magic.

"Now we can do all we can"

Troops that couldn't have allowed either of them to cross the river than the bridge had fallen, but now it is possible for Icada to float to the river surface and ensure that they are sent to the opposite shore.

Icada doesn't look like a rush, but it has at least the minimum performance it can do without a problem as far as crossing this Rhone River.

"Now it's time for those evil demons to show me something in their eyes!!

The decree of a resounding assault.

Here again, the death fight between the Crusaders and the Alliance of Adventurers opened the curtain.

The crusaders spreading in front of us seem to have come as ready and full to cross the river as we thought.

"I know, but I don't know..."

Yes, I expected this to happen.

But there are so many squid floating in the river that I think they're going to bury it all the way to the opposite shore.

And getting in on it is the Heavy Knight Squad since I saw it on the first day and the Mage Squad that has been ticking and shelling me till today.

Neither unit can cross the river without a bridge, but if the leg called Icada is complete, we can cross this way.

Speaking of hopeful observations, I wanted it to be all the heavy knight units in their possession that wiped them out with the first bridge bombing trap, but, naturally, expectations fell short.

From what I've seen, there's still going to be about two or three heavy knight units of that size.

"What are we going to do? They can't stop you with your bow and your magic."

Irina's right, that armor will be more defensive than it looks, and if you call it a mage unit, if you deploy a wide range of defensive magic in multiple ways, you can't make an attack without getting pretty close.

Until now, the Sorcerer Squad could only defend infantry storming with defensive magic up to about half the other side of the river because they couldn't get closer to us than opposite shore, but if you get on Icada, you can rule to the magic effect range up to this defensive wall.

I don't know how much can be stopped by crucible fire when it is advanced with multiple shields solidified by boulders.

Conversely, it means that as long as we can do something about the Heavy Knights and the Mages, we can work it out.

It is impossible for a cavalry to transport all troops to the boulder to the extent of Icada, and the Tenma Knight Squad is limited to half an hour, with Lily suppressing them by herself.

"In the meantime, they seem to be pushing heavy knights and magicians forward -"

I'll give you a glimpse to the roof of the guild.

I can't see that from before this fence, but there she is.

"- Let me knock you down as much as I can first"

Through the telepathic communications network brought about by Lily, who still works hard in one of the Alliance's rooms today, I gave my first attack order today.

"Fiona."

"Yes, what is it, Mr. Chrono?

"Ask for the strongest"

After a beat, I get a response.

"Got it, gentlemen, please be careful not to jerk off"
