Kuro no Maou

In the grass, one child had fallen.

Falling down into depression, I don't know what she looks like, but her hair is brown, her skin is white, and from arms to tips she has the same furry wings as her hair color, and she has bird's feet wrapped in the same feathers from her hips down.

In other words, he is not a human child, but a child of a species called Harpi.

And two arrows stood deep on that little back, hitting the wing feathers as well, with pale brown feathers scattered all over them.

"Hey - Uncle Bergunt, who has a reputation for excellence in martial arts! It's a brilliant thing ~"

"Ha ha, what, there's nothing like pulling a bow on the battlefield, my bishop"

Two human men were having a conversation in front of Harpy's child's body on a horse riding.

One reminds me of a skinny clergyman across a white horse, whose face is like a clever fox appearing in a fairy tale.

The white coat, designed to cover the whole body loosely, is a dedicated piece of equipment indicating the position of the bishop, as called.

The other is a long-bodied, skinny, mature man across a large reed horse.

Hair and eyes are dark green shades reflecting the wind's primordial colour magic, and wrapped up and tightened in light armor (light armor) with silvercrafted embellishments in every corner.

Both were discerned to be persons of high standing isolated from the common folk grass when they saw their identity.

"Thank you, Lord Bishop, for inviting me to such a meeting today.

I've never had a chance to pull a bow more than when I came to Pandora, and I was worried that my arm would sag like this. "

Called Uncle Bergunt, who speaks up and laughs, he is the man who leads the corner, the Crusader's reinforcement unit that came after the Battle of Goldran for the land and wealth of Pandora.

The most common of the reinforcements are soldiers belonging to the faction of Cardinal Mercedes, but this Bergunto, as the rank of the Earl indicates, is a nobleman of the Sinclair Republic and belongs to a different force from the Church.

"No, it's outrageous, this is someone as famous as Uncle Bergunt who joined us and added some hua to this' Demon Hunting '-"

Even so, it is Bishop Gregorius, a belly-hearted subordinate sent by Cardinal Mercedes to the Pandora continent.

They are two rivals, so to speak, who deprive each other of Pandora's rights while remaining in an army called the same Crusader, but are thus gently bickering, not because they are a pattern of old knowledge, but just because they deserve it.

"Well, this Harpy was the last one, the fun times are fast passing, and you're open now"

"Yes, truly unfortunately...... but, coincidence or Lord's guidance, this is how I got close to you with Uncle Bergunt, could you just hang out with my (wasp) bickering for a moment?

Bergunt looks around with a slight indifference.

No matter how cautious, there are no signs of people, which means that this is only the occasion for you and the two bishops.

Naturally speaking, this situation has allowed me to run my horse to shoot Harpy's children, even allowing them to fly temporarily.

It was a playstyle that didn't end up fast, twitching and hunting down, but I can easily imagine that it would take just a little while for each other's entourage to catch up to this point.

In other words, for a while now, the conversation between the two people has never entered someone else's ear, so to speak, in an open Chamber.

"Oh, this is a pleasant offer, I didn't know I could listen exclusively to the thankful words of His Holiness the Bishop"

"No, you can't have such a noble theory, what I'm good at is, you know, a more realistic story about the world's interests."

Well, I hammered one and encouraged Gregorius to get ahead of the conversation.

"For example, Uncle Bergunt, as I said earlier, isn't your problem a cot that you never had a chance to pull a bow on?

"This is a painful reminder that we were a little late to Pandora."

I didn't even say it was because of you Mercedes.

Hearing a report of a crusader victory in the Battle of Goldran, it was the church represented by Mercedes and the nobility to which Bergunto belongs that quickly prepared the Pandora march, in fact, are almost identical.

It was the securing of ships, the only means of crossing the continents from Ark to Pandora, that divided victory and defeat.

Mercedes had managed to outrun the other reinforcement targets, dominate most of the ships that could be used to transport soldiers, and give Pandora what belonged to his own hands before anyone else.

And after all the reinforcements led by Gregorius had landed, the order had finally turned to the Bergunts.

But naturally, the hour was already late, and by the time the late group stepped on Pandora's land, the occupation of much of Daedalus territory had ended.

Therefore, with a large number of soldiers at his disposal, he continued to stay in the capital, Daedalus, without a place to go.

"Well, what do you say, Pandora, half the continent, but nearly 90% of the territory is still in the hands of the demons, right? Isn't full conquest coming up?

That's what you think, so you're ready for the Spartan attack. "

Bergunt, who had not broken the calm atmosphere until then, issued swordswallowing signs to Russia.

That is the intimidation of a powerful man who can hold it because he is actually a warring general who ran the battlefield and slaughtered numerous enemies.

"There are times when boulders just call themselves' Prophets'."

Why was it so pointed out that the Mercedes had carried things carefully so that they could not understand their movements?

That is convincing to think of the two names of 'Prophet' that Gregorius himself brags around without shame.

If you can do a divine 'prophecy', how secretly it moves, it can sometimes be said without any basis or proof.

Then if it's that much trouble - yes Bergunt won't be able to think about it either.

"I hope you don't look so scared, we are the different organizations to belong to, and now we are one legion in the name of the Crusades, and even if not, aren't you and I crucifixes who believe in the same white god!

Gregorius, who preaches a spirit of fraternity by spreading his hands, but still cannot wipe Bergunt's suspicions.

"Well, in short, this is the spirit of concession, and that's what I'm thinking, even as we are, of giving you the vanguard of the Spartan attack."

Hearing the words, Bergunt slightly loosens his guard.

"Is that the idea of Cardinal Mercedes, or is it the personal field judgment of His Holiness the Bishop?

"Both, yes.

We in the Church have no desire to make the whole of the Pandora continent the direct domain of the Church, apart from the nobles.

Because the Church is made up of people who believe, and I don't want to distrust the aristocracy of many of its inhabitants for such common reasons as territorial strife. "

Both are likely to grin unwittingly at Gregorius's words, which kick ass with ‘vulgar reasons’ while knowing the reality of a fierce seizure of land under the water.

"Let's share a limited amount of land amicably with each other, and yes, both the Cardinal and I think.

This time our church got Daedalus, and next time you should get a land commensurate with its size. "

"Ha ha! You think the church only needs half the land on the Pandora continent? What a humble thought a priest deserves to serve God!

You bet! and Gregorius laughing as if he hadn't noticed Bergunt's sarcasm.

"However, under Cardinal Mercedes is the idea of sharing the land with forgiveness as saints do, but I don't know if Cardinal Ars would have the same idea after all, because he's still young enough to take on the spear of the Pandora invasion in one hand, on top of that, so it's no wonder he has any ambitions, right?

What Cardinal Ars is like is the amount of information that Bergunt deserves to know in his position of nobility, which is also heard by the crowd.

It includes not only the glorious background of a brilliant liberation, with the help of the Seventh Apostle Saliel and the Twelfth Apostle Maribel, of a dangerous area exposed to pagan aggression, but also how he then climbed to the status of Cardinal, even in his specific arms.

"You can always say that you don't mind even half of the land of Pandora or the other half of the land that you give your faith in God, so to speak, under Cardinal Mercedes."

Bergunt finally smiled calmly, but somewhere invincible, as he was good at saying.

"Hmm, Hmm, I see, if the Church is to give us land with such humble thoughts, it is only under Cardinal Mercedes, who has also done what is equal to the mercy of his God, that the next Pope deserves it".

In the Cross, the suffrage of the "Election of the Holy Spirit (Conclave)", which elects the proxy pope of God who unites the Church, is granted not only to the priests but also to the nobles, beginning with the senators.

One would soon be able to guess what it would mean for a cardinal with papal credentials to gather the support of the nobles, if at all learned.

"And above all, it is important to be its greatest merit, devoting the continent of Pandora to God as it was commissioned.

Gaining God's trust is worth more than the infinite earth and mountains of gold and silver treasures. "

"Ha ha, you're absolutely right! Wonderful, I can say that without any hesitation. I think I've seen you as a true priest."

It's an honor to understand, and Gregorius responds to Eagle Deep.

"Tomorrow, Fort Alsace, which we are currently building for the Sparda offensive, will be handed over to you as soon as this is complete."

"Alsace... this is the village where the devil and the others stood."

The Alsace strategy had become such a famous story that it also entered Bergunt's ear during his stay in Daedalus.

Whatever it is, it is a battle that has cost so much as a stain in a smooth Daedalus occupation, it can't be rumored, the sooner the worse the rumors spread, but therefore.

"As you already know, Sparda is beyond the rugged Galahad Mountains, and the only way to connect with this is on the mountain path stretching from the village of Alsace"

"I've heard it's very widely maintained for the Demon Clan."

"Yeah, it's true, you can't doubt the Apostle's words, can you?

And Bergunt had also heard that it was the work of the Eleventh Apostolic Mass, which secretly visited the Pandora continent, that did not leave the rumours range but settled the battle of the village of Alsace.

"The question is, can we attack Sparda's Galahad fortress or not"

"Though there are examples of Alsace opponents, please be careful not to be alarmed, right?

"What, this is how I became a ‘cooperative relationship', now I can fully prepare and concentrate only on the enemies in front of me without worries of hindsight"

In the eyes of Bergunt, who responded so, there was a raptor-sharp light that identified his prey.

"Nhehe, you expect it, don't you?

Yes, it will still be a while before Fort Alsace is completed.

How many minutes is this going to go hand in hand with the business of ruling Daedalus, such as accepting settlers? "

"I don't mind, you can let us take over anything where appropriate.

Come on, let's take a look at the Royal Castle of Sparta with the Glorious Cross. "
