Kuro no Maou

"I've been armored and barely equipped before, but if you try it on, you can move unexpectedly"

On my way to the adjacent 203rd Pioneering Village Supply Base, I said something about that to Saliel.

"This Heavy Knight armor is authentically equipped, so durability, mobility, wearability and magic grant (enchant) effects have been vetted to exceed a certain level"

"A boulder, an elite piece of equipment."

I am now fully equipped to wear heavy knight armor full body armor (full plate armor) and by the way I am walking down the street starting to melt snow.

Already halfway through the road, he has continued to walk so much that he will soon arrive, but the armor he has worn is not uncomfortable with its behavior that he is familiar with his body. Like clothing on a boulder, but still lighter than you can imagine because of the appearance of goth.

With my power, I don't have a problem with the weight of steel, but I can't handle the range of motion and breathability, so it's not my fault.

The movement of the hands and feet is smooth, and even if you keep walking this far for a while, the leg armor that covers it with steel to your toes fits perfectly. Besides, I don't even feel so breathless wearing a full face helmet that completely covers my head. Vision is more restricted than usual, but still, it's not so much impossible. Well, it's made for combat, so you'll be putting as much effort into securing your vision as possible.

Standard armed with a large axe spear (Halvard) on his right hand and a heavy large shield (Tower Shield) on his left. In addition to this time, he carries one long sword to the left and right of his hips, two back crossed, four combined, and even two spare halvards to raise a flag on his back.

But the most distinctive thing about this equipment would be that it's not such an overloaded weapon, and the armor helmet and numerous weapons are all dyed and cut in black monochrome.

Regardless, this is the result of my blackening. For the Crusaders, divine silver metallic is probably the best, but now it's more performance-oriented than it looks.

For once, I'm hanging a rosary from my neck to the extent that I'm sorry, but this is also a subtle place to fulfill whether or not it will be an excuse to be, honestly, a cross, because it's finally dyed dark with blackening.

Now, I'm wearing heavy equipment like this because my goal is to hide my face as a top priority, not purely armed. Regardless, although I think it's a pretty impossible way to hide it myself, I can't help it now because there was no other way to mask it than this.

If I were told to show my face, I would only open the face guard and expose my Intelliyakuza eyeglass face with "Coloring Eyes" on it. For once, I try not to only see dark hair, but only show my face when I can't really cut it off.

And I'm not the only one hiding my face, as is Sariel.

This one was originally decided to hide it with a white veil-like headscarf covering the head from the neck, sometimes with monastic clothes as standard equipment. The official name says Wimple is Sister's headscarf, but if you let him wear something a little bigger of this, it means he can hide most of his face very naturally.

And then, just in case, I gave Sariel my weapon this time.

Hanging from her right hip is one Rapier. A large emerald of elegance and luxury is embedded in the brilliant pure mythrill of silver. I can't see it now that it fits in the sheath, but the body features numerous grants (enchants) centered on wind attributes, which are first-class in appearance and performance.

Yes, this is the sword that that mashram was waving when he attacked Leki. Definitely the best loot I got in the fight back then. But basically, swordsmanship is power. For me, Rapier isn't a very compatible weapon, and I'm not used to using it. Besides, I use it to look weird, and I have trouble in case a Crusader soldier turns a blind eye.

With such a wack, I threw all the armor helmets I was wearing into the church warehouse all the time, but I decided to take this opportunity to give Saliel the least amount of armor.

From his track record of killing a giant armored bear with bare hands, Saliel still retains tremendous combat ability after losing his hands and feet. Although I can only move freely because I don't have legs, even if Gratney Octo attacked me, I would be able to afford to deal with them if I had a weapon. It's not so much self-defense as the last fortress she protects the villagers.

Most importantly, we were almost certain of our defeat at the time we allowed Sariel and the non-combatants to break into hiding, so we weren't in a position to rely on it from the start.

"Oh, I see you."

As my vision opened through the bend, I saw a gray stone wall ahead.

Supply base, I don't know what to say, but it's not so different from the village of Quaal in my memory. I guess the Crusaders didn't put their material into the construction of the Alsace fortress and put their strength into the defense here. Well, it's just a passage, naturally.

For one thing, there is also a soothing voice from the villagers walking in line with Zorozolo with their first destination in front of them.

Chief Randolph is in charge of explaining the situation to the Crusaders. I am at the rear of the line in a position such as a lord. In the meantime, let Randolph's negotiating and acting skills help me prepare for the enemy's onslaught.

If you look back, there's just a long idle view of the streets stretching under the blue sky. Without the white mist, I don't see any disturbing shadows. Then, also react to God's left eye, Nashi.

"I hope we can get away with this..."

After that, all the villagers, including me, the black armored helmet, were admitted to confinement, and after sunshine we entered the 203rd Pioneering Village Supply Base.

supply base, but the reality is that the corner of the village is just a warehouse group. In the first place, with the exception of wild monsters, none of them attacked this place. The Spartan army is in an impossible position to raid in one foot, ignoring the Alsace fortress, and the remnants of the Daedalus army, who are most concerned, were almost swept away before the Galahad war, he said.

Apparently, it's Saliel's handle, but I've heard straight from the former Seventh Apostle that what I've done is destroy the sporadic rebels that happen all over the place by myself, and that I'm not engaged with enemy troops.

Apparently it was the rescue of a royal family who was imprisoned in the Fourth Laboratory of The White Ruins, built on the Rebel's True Aim Media Ruins... but truly unfortunately, they were still in retribution. Now that there shouldn't be any particularly strict security, Saliel said that he had left the thousands of massive raids because of that eighth Apostolic Eye among the adventurers hired in security.

If he is, then a thousand or two will be able to pay him back at his leisure. He's a messenger, even if he's such a jerk.

Anyway, this supply base, which does not come from raiders or anything else, is just a defense to use the stone walls that were in the village of Quaal as they are, and it has worked without any problems to this day.

This is a supply base as well as a pioneering village.

The settlers who have abandoned Sinclair's home like Randolph and the rest of the family of crusader soldiers serving on this base and the Alsace fortress seem to consist of almost half a percentage.

Due to the defense of stone walls and the role of the supply base, the importance is not the ratio of our 202nd pioneering village. Seen in Central Square, you could see several four-story buildings, some decent lodging apart from the Adventurers Guild, and a fair number of shops facing Main Street.

I only count the number of visits I once made to the village of Quaal, but still, somewhat seems more developed now compared to the view of that village in my memory. Even though the blurry buildings here in Operation Scorched Earth almost wiped out coal, what should be surprising is the rebuilding power of the Crusaders?

Yeah, well, the church here is pretty big compared to ours, too. It's about twice the size and height. If it was this big, I wouldn't have to go with Sariel, and I could give Leki and Ursula a a private room. Shall I sue the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades directly for improved treatment? Hey, do something about it, Sariel.

Around remembering that nasty cynicism at all, I realize I was totally used to church life, too.

Anyway, it's not a big concern or important in terms of the normal pioneering village here.

"How many soldiers are here?

"Regular soldiers are squadron sizes of about a hundred. A platoon of heavy knights consisting of more than a dozen. Several Tenma knights for emergency contact. None of them are elite because they work backwards. Minimum Base Defense"

Ask me sooo much and I got a really accurate answer.

Depending on what you stand around, I'm strong enough to win alone. Perhaps we can escape, so it seems impossible to destroy them.

It's not a big battle force.

Originally, I should be glad to say that I can be relieved even in times of need, but now I'm just disappointed that I'm on the verge of intercepting the impending Gratney Oct.

I never imagined I'd put the Crusaders in my side's accounts, but there's a way. Whatever is available should be used, and they also have an obligation as an army to protect their own people. I just want you to work hard.

At least, I want my villagers to be well protected tonight or so - which means that for today, I'm supposed to stay in the 203rd Pioneering Village as it is.

Big trip for all villagers, including even young children. The distance you can walk is naturally limited, and too much imposition frustrates the evacuation itself.

If you look at the distance between the villages, you will basically arrive in the next village in one day. Therefore, the arrival date to the Alsace Fortress is four days by simple calculation.

Under the Crusader's occupation, each pioneering village is only assigned a number, but in Daedalus, in order from the east, there is a line of villages named Iles, Quaal, Hejito, Wat, Alsace. After a day spent traveling between Ils Quaal today, we plan to arrive in Alsace on the night of the 23rd of the Ice Crystal month.

What a calm and thought-provoking thing is that despite entering the so-called complete enemy stronghold of the Crusaders' supply base, I was never particularly eye-catching.

For once, my identity was taken as the surrogate for the deceased former priest, and now it is a priest in the field who serves as a knight to escort the villagers.

After entering the base, I was in position to keep out of contact with the security crusader soldiers as little as possible and not be heard in the middle of the villagers' waves. Although my gaze is felt, I was never called "Hey, dubious black knight there, stop for a second". Perhaps Randolph gave me a good advance explanation. Or maybe I can't even afford to be interrogating someone a little suspicious on the Crusaders' side either.

After a complete defeat to the Spartan army, this time it's the monster's army. What is a bee on the crying side, this? Zama, hey, I guess I'm honestly not happy because I'm in the swirl of battle myself. Absolutely not.

"- Oh, priest, are you awake already, or have you been awake forever?

If you notice, it's already dawn. The deep night darkness begins to brighten thin, and it will be time to worship the refreshing morning sun.

"Morning, Ryan. I took a little nap."

He's early, it's not a strange time to start waking up. I said hello to Ryan, who had already appeared in the armor helmet of a heavy knight and was ready for battle.

"Whoa, Yuri's still asleep -"

"I'm awake. Good morning."

I'm the one sitting somewhere in the corner of Central Square wearing heavy armor, but Sariel is the one sitting as well with the back armor of pitch-black.

Since he is as fortified with modifications as I am, even if he loses the power of the Apostle, the flesh itself remains stubborn and also retains immense stamina. There will be no lettering of fatigue in today's environment, where you can get a slight but hypnotic sleep, because you are strong enough to run on an insomniac rest and still pimp toward Alsace.

"Dude, we still have a long way to go. Are you sure you don't want me to sleep properly?

But from Ryan, who didn't even know Sariel's superhuman nature was dew, a dialogue of utmost legitimate care popped up. I don't know. Is Buddha talking about this?

"So, what's the priest doing spreading his weapon? You're going to start a weapons store with a soldier."

Currently, there are several weapons lined up in front of me with discrepancies. Prepared separately from what I use, with swords, spears, and a bunch of arrows. Sure, it's a way of spreading it like an open-air business.

"It's a little experiment"

"Experiment?"

"Oh, I was wondering if I could add (enchant) fire attributes to my weapon"

We already know that Gratney Octo's weakness attribute is fire. Therefore, it would be a supremely natural attempt to arm the fire.

"Even so, the priest has someone to blow up that sword."

"No, I'm trying to get someone else to use this"

Ryan's right, if I had the original weapon, I could instantly apply red-hot blackening to make it a powerful rocket launcher. You can shoot a howitzer shell (grenade burst) even without a weapon, and worst of all, you can release only the black flame of a pseudo-fire attribute with flamethrowing.

So, it's the vigilantes, including Ryan, who need fire other than me. Unfortunately, not a single member of our 202nd Pioneering Village vigilante has a magician class. Those with witchcraft skills are always welcome and are recruiting from time to time.

"I'm just finishing up my prototype. Try it later."

"Oh, there's a sout! So, this black sword, how can there be a fire?

At the same time as I thank him for his smile, Ryan is taking the prototype sword early and swinging lightly and barely. Looks like a familiar blackened sword to me, but I'm working on its internal configuration.

"If some impact is added to the blade, it can be fired. Don't light a fire here yet."

"Oops, evil no"

He succeeded in stopping Ryan, who was in a motion to slap his sword on the cobblestone ground as early as possible, at the soot.

"Once it's on fire, stay put until it burns out"

The structure is the same as that of "Blast Blade (Blast Blade)", which is red-hot blackened. However, it adjusted its power and the amount released.

The usual 'Blast Blade' causes an explosion by allowing the blackflame added (enchanted) to the blade to fully open in a flash for maximum destructive power. No matter, the sword itself will be shattered in one shot.

On the other hand, this one is set to the effect of continuously emitting flames from the blade rather than explosion by dropping the burning output. Once the blade is lit, it will continue to burn until fuel called the pseudo-fire attribute that I put in it is consumed.

A real magic sword can fire just to wield, or activate effects just by the will of the user, but I still don't understand how it works around there, and even if I could, I don't have the magic to allow that kind of control. That's why I could only make it with the specification of simply firing with impact sensing.

In short, this sword is a match. Simple structure like that.

But it's so cool to call it a match sword, I gave it a proper name.

"Name it, it's Ignited Sword."

"Isn't it disposable?"

"Give me a break there. It's a rush, and I don't have the skill of a blacksmith."

If it was that easy to create a fiery demon sword, I would have founded the Chrono Magic Weapons Chamber long ago.

"But I only remembered 'Eternity'. I could make it somehow."

I took care of "Eternity" when I reinforced the Alsace Village Adventurer Alliance with blackening. I didn't master such magic at the time, it was written by Mo.

And now I can exercise 'permanence (etanity)' myself because I was taught in Dr. Nell's magic class. I really can't thank Nell enough to go along with "Forth Boost."

"Heh, I see. No, you were in my dachi, too. I'm a magic school dropout, and the only time I've ever remembered" Eternity, "I've been doing some suspicious part-time work."

That's a lifelike way to use it again.

However, not everyone is a wack to becoming a first-rate magician, and that kind of thing is rather just a handful. Those who could only master one or two, or weak magic, make them useful in their daily lives and work. That's why magic permeates there even on a daily level in this world because there are so many of them.

"Well, thanks for letting me use him."

"Tell me as soon as there's something wrong. Adjust it, or if it really doesn't work, throw it away."

"Heh, you're gonna be okay. Matsuaki, it's better this way than fighting with one hand."

When I was bickering like that, it inadvertently reached my ear, the running sound of an armor called Gachari. It's not mine.

It's a metal sound that can be heard overlapping. That means that the heavy knight has walked in a group.

Good morning, gentlemen of the 202nd Pioneering Village.

It was still a bunch of heavy knights who crossed Central Square and walked straight to us. Ten people. When you see him there, he'll be the one platoon for base defense that Saliel was talking about.

It is the man at their head who has exchanged greetings. Because of his standing position and behavior, is he the captain?

However, his face is not like a gritty gorilla, but a thin line and feels like a noble boy. The helmet was not yet worn, and I could clearly see a beautiful, neat seventy-third portion of blonde hair and a face characterized by intelligent glasses.

Um, somewhere, you look like Will.

"I'm sorry for the sudden, but you there, can I see your face for a second?

Wow, did you come at this time? My heart jumps one with dokun.

Well, you're talking about not being suspicious being able to do it.

The Knight Captain of the Seven and Three Glasses already has a vision of who you are! and he smiles invincibly confidently all the time.

Yeah, I can't help it this way. I never tried to get my hands on Faceguard, that's when.

"Shit, Teme... that's Cliff"

"Oh, again, aren't you Ryan!

Some ironic grin on Ryan, looking back with a bitter look, Cliff, the knight called.

That, maybe, isn't it about me?

"Hey, long time no see, Ryan. I didn't think we'd see each other here again."

"Well, Temehe, why are you here?"

"It will be decided. I officially became a knight, didn't I? It would be natural to take part in a jihad called this Pandora expedition."

Crucial fanatics, rather than sounding like nuances who just boast of their position. Well, a lot of people would see Pandora's invasion as a chance to make a fortune or profit rather than believing it to be a jihad for God.

"From what I've seen, Ryan, you seem to be from the 202nd Pioneering Village... heh, you're not just a pioneering citizen, are you? That means you really fell to the point where you fell."

"Don't be ridiculous, I know what you're talking about."

"What, so you're sure? Ha, that's pathetic, really pathetic. I sympathize from the bottom of my heart - do you bother wearing such formal gear because, after all, you have an untrained knight? Ha ha!

Cliff purposefully laughs high, pointing to the armor helmet of the Crusader's Heavy Knight, which Ryan is equipped with.

"Heh, he ran away from the battlefield and went home - he wanted to buy it in a bundle of threads from the hipster. Cliff, I'm also convinced that a lot of Moyashi could have become Heavy Knights. The Crusaders now seem to be actively employing the heartless poor Yarrow."

"Oh, you insult the honorable knight!

"Ha, when the very existence of Temei is an insult to the knight -"

I've never seen such a brilliant reproduction of a dog monkey's companionship before. It is such an evil mood to hold such thoughts.

"Through the sword! A duel on this occasion!!

"Barca, it would be strictly forbidden to fight privately."

"I want to cower against this me who has become a real knight!

"Come on, don't you see my tender concern to put on a familiar face back in the day? One more shot in the face with a punch. Think it's pathetic to say" KO "for whatever it takes."

"Mm, that was a long time ago! Yep, I can't believe that the slackening is the same as it used to be... I can't stand it anymore, it's going to be a success on this occasion!

Hey, why don't you stop provoking me, right before Cliff's too heated up, and I change my mind after trying to advance to Ryan.

"Stop it, Ryan"

"Oh, my God, Priest, he's got a problem with me and Yarrow."

The words to stop are the same. But the implications are completely different. It's not just arbitration, it's pure warning.

Already, it's not like we're having a barren argument.

"Look, it's foggy"

They were starting to drift white as they crawled on the ground.

Thinness and low that nobody cares about. But this is probably just a touch ahead. This fog, which occurs sneakingly, will necessarily gain momentum within it and drink up all of this 203rd pioneering village.

Apparently, they've been stretching their bulimic forefingers to this place as soon as possible.

"Hurry, the enemy is coming."
