Kuro no Maou

Episode 129: Misuse

The vigilance duty around the village of Alsace was essentially handled by bandits and other eye-catching classes.

Other than that, however, it is the summoner (Summoner) who has the ability to turn to the task of monitoring this broad scope.

Although not a very major class among adventurers, the Alliance of Adventurers, which brings together more than a hundred people in total, had three summoners enrolled.

In the first place, a summoner is a derivative class of magicians who place demons (monsters) under their control with special rituals and disciplines and exercise them as demons of use (savants).

They used Rank 1 monsters like Dagger Raptors and Windles to cover a wide range of alerts.

And that, even in a state of combat like the present, had, at the very least, released a peripheral vigilant user demon.

Originally, it was considered impossible for this Alsace village to be terrain rounded up by enemy forces or ambushed by flanks, so the vigilance of this user demon only meant as much, just in case.

Rather, the role of alerting monsters to the onslaught is arguably stronger than the unlikely concern that enemies will emerge backwards.

However, it was thanks to the vigilance of their user demons that they were able to detect as soon as possible that ‘impossibility’ had become a reality.

On the other side of the main entrance guarded by Chrono and the others, a summoner's window ran towards the back gate connecting from the bridge to the Lehne River.

The wind looks like a wolf with a pale green fur, characterised by a faint but intrinsic magic of the wind (extra).

That window runs at all costs to fulfill the task ordered by its own Lord.

Their mission is to be alert and alert when they discover an enemy.

And the fact that that task is now fulfilled, which is also located on the back of the village opposite this main entrance, indicates the emergence of ‘enemies’ behind what was not envisaged at all.

In the streets about two kilometers from this back gate, the enemy shadows found by Windle,

"Hey, what the hell... I can't believe how many troops were behind this..."

A summoner, Lord of the Windle, read the visual footage seen by the user demon in fragments and confirmed the fact.

Hurry up and contact Mr. Krono.

The information is then promptly communicated to the chrono using a crystal piece of telepathic communication.

"- Enemy troops appear behind the village! That number is roughly a hundred, heavy knight (armor night) troops!

"- Enemy troops appear behind the village! That number is roughly a hundred, heavy knight (armor night) troops!

"What... and..."

The moment I hear the word, there are two letters of defeat on the back of my brain.

Behind the enemy, that was a complete miscalculation.

Considering the streets and terrain around Alsace, we chose Alsace as our defensive line in the first place, because it is not a place where the enemy can be immediately surrounded.

It was completely overshadowed.

Damn, if we keep fighting like this, we might be able to protect it, and I want this report to be a lie.

I agree, but ignoring the shocking information that determines this win or loss, the option of continuing the fight wasn't left on my mind to calmly turn around, at least somewhat.

"Damn, not here anymore... retreat..."

We don't have time to get lost. When the enemy forces take our back, this loss is certain.

"... okay?

Beyond the crystal pieces, a bewildered voice returns.

"Oh, the village of Alsace will abandon, ring the retreat signal, and we'll get out of here in a hurry."

Copy that.

At the same time as the end of the communication, the crystal pieces are scattered, finishing their role.

"Shit!

Why, how the hell did a hundred poorly manoeuvred troops turn behind Alsace?

There are routes to bypass, but I don't think they used it in time, which would definitely take more than a week to get out of the rear of Alsace.

If that were possible and successful for forcefully breaking through the woods just outside the village, there's no way this one would still notice the movement of a hundred troops.

That's how vigilant I've been, but nothing suspicious has ever caught my eye on this surveillance.

I have no idea what kind of magic you used to suddenly make your troops appear behind us.

No, maybe that's the kind of convenient magic over there that really lets you transfer the whole unit.

Then what was I supposed to do, be vigilant at the rear and also build a protective wall behind it?

Even at the main entrance where the enemies would surely come, there was only a week's prep period, in the rear, which I don't think was supposed to come, I couldn't afford to build a defense in case, you would have done well with just placing vigilant personnel.

Thanks to this, we were able to detect the approximation before the enemy collapsed through the back gate. You should still think that your luck is not exhausted, but you can't do it without thinking about it.

"All right, calm down, then just think about running away anymore..."

Don't think about it extra, regret is literally all you have to do later, if my judgment as a leader is delayed, you will only force extra sacrifices on your side for that matter.

When he calmed his mind and switched his head, the sound of a horn whistle echoed to the battlefield informing him of the signal of withdrawal.

White and black smokescreens surrounded the front gate of Alsace as the tone of the horn that signaled the retreat echoed.

"The demons are retreating! Don't miss this opportunity, fold it up all at once!

It is the commander, Knolls, who leaves the opposite bank of the Rhone River to raise his voice and skip the instructions.

The smokescreen that surrounds the battlefield is obvious, for example, that it is a small worker to retreat.

"Well, the equilibrium is finally broken."

"Sounds like it, I thought it might stick a little bit more"

Sylvia, who stands next to him, also expresses her willingness to affirm.

Indeed, the assault force, which would have consisted of the elite of the demonic clan, had reduced its numbers considerably, but was on the verge of resolutely attacking the heavy knight unit against its opponent.

I had seen and understood Knolls, but I did not particularly question this action, which began to withdraw as if I had suddenly returned my palm.

"Now you can finally occupy this abominable village"

Convinced of the victory, Knolls laughed high behind his own army, which stormed abruptly into the smokescreen.

A dazzling flash of light strikes the Tenma Knight Squad, which unfolds over the village of Alsace, looking directly at the light of the sun.

"... Shit, you ran away"

Estelle was so poisoned when she saw Lillie start retreating by opening her distance at once with a broken gap in her vision.

"Looks like we're headed straight for the Black Hall (Black Box)"

"His‘ effect time 'shouldn't be running out yet - I see you've got Keri on the ground."

From the main entrance of the village of Alsace to the Rhone river, you can see the smokescreen, and you can see that the demonic army would have begun to withdraw.

"I think it's either they're going to run away like this, or they're going to go to a black hall (black box) and make the fight go away, Fran?

"It doesn't look like we're going to run straight, but either way, we're going to have to do it."

"Ha, right, let's call it a chase!

With Estelle at the forefront, the Tenma Knights began to move as they stormed the dark guild that stood against Alsace.

Led by Vulcan, the assault unit kicks the infantry unit sticking in front of the fence and retreats to the front gate.

I stop my enemies by spreading demon bullets (Barrett Arts) across the smokescreen at the rear of it.

"Smoke balls. That's a lot of smoke when you use them all."

When only the Assault Squad retreated, my black smoke was enough, but this time I have to withdraw everyone gathering in front of the fence to an Alliance with an escape route.

Black smoke is not enough to cover my surroundings, so I use only the famous' smoke balls (smoke) 'as an escape item to make a huge blind eye.

The black smoke I unleashed myself and the smoke balls thrown by my allies, the black and white smoke, don't mix and turn gray, they just serve as blindfolds (blinds) in front of me.

"... ready for the wall, a little more"

Steady approach the gate, grinding with demon bullets whenever an infantry carrying a spear pops out of the smoke.

Because Fiona is asleep, this time, other magicians will be asked to create a 'wall’ to stop the enemy.

When I think about it, apparently, the magic runs without hiding it from my feet, making me feel signs of magic activation.

"Back off! Don't get caught in the wall!

Sorcerer's Range Defense Magic is activated simultaneously the moment I take a big step off the scene.

It stops the feet of enemies whose flames, ice and soil appear as new barriers to attack.

What I have in front of me is a smooth pitch-black wall, 'The Evil Wall (Death Woldefan)', which I've seen since intercepting the scouts at Iles.

I had to be able to get this fine shield out too, and while the various barriers were stopping the enemy, I rolled into the open main entrance.

"Hey, you're back, husband!

"Oh, my God."

Mo greets me in one hand with a short wand (wand) with a disastrous design imitating the wand.

"All right, that's the last of us."

"Yes, everyone has already rushed into the Alliance."

The boulder is an adventurer, a quick getaway, and a quick retreat.

"Let's hurry up, we're about to break our shields."

"Saya."

I jumped into the guild's open doorway the last time I saw a Halvard blade sticking out of a design I was already used to seeing from the wall of "The Evil Wall (Death Woldefan)".
