Kuro no Maou

Upon arrival at the Black Forest Temple, an army of Morrigan Temple priests, who were the first to serve as an advance party, had already completed the installation as a front-line base.

When I arrived last night, it was like a lonely ruin, but now numerous supplies are piled up, vigilant soldiers standing everywhere, surrounded by pressing signs like a fort on the front line. This air kind of reminds me of the Galahad War.

"- Well, Master Chrono. You arrived early."

Now, while I was kicking around wondering who to talk to, I got a really familiar voice.

Regardless, the Lord of the Voice is Brigitte.

You've often found it to be me, even though I've already worn a full-face helmet with my 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)' gear.

"Sorry, but they let me use the shortcut"

"Ugh, keep it a secret from the others"

The glossy Brigitte grin remained the same, but her outfit was quite different.

The loose coat of law, in a manner similar to that of the priest of the Temple of Morrigan, is naturally also suppressed in its exposure. But it's sleeveless with both shoulders out, so I can stay a little pornographic.

The most different impression is that its coat is black monochrome. The golden yarn decoration applied to the stronghold fits well with her blonde hair.

I guess this costume is for combat as a witch. On her hips, she is given a long sword. That's more than being here with a weapon.

"In the meantime, if you have an operation, I'll obey you, and if you're free to move, I'd like to get to Central Hive."

"I was just about to leave for the nest, too, so I'll join you. I'll briefly tell you what's going on and what's going on."

"Well, that'll help."

The boat crosses and we leave the temple about Brigitte. A group of clerics are also accompanied whether it is her subordination or simply another unit to go with her.

"The nest is located about two kilometers west of the temple"

Quite close, at the end of the eye and nose. It was nested in a hell of a place, but fortunately, the road was stretched nearby and the soldiers were still as easy to navigate. If you're in the middle of a woods of roadless roads, it's hard to just get there.

"The Temple of the Black Forest has no particular anomalies in the last month, although people go into care more often every month at this time of year"

"Does that mean just after that the queen came and built a nest"

"Yeah, in just a month, from building a large nest, the Queen is also expected to be a pretty powerful individual,"

Depending on the size of the nest, they also have plenty of strength. A huge number of legions and a powerful mutant species will be rolling out.

"So, what kind of operation are we going to do?

"Basically, it's no different from what we normally do. First, seal off all the perimeter of the nest with a great junction"

The basics of a hive attack are subtly different from a siege battle. It's similar to blocking the opponent's escape route to the point where it's completely besieged.

The way the siege is imposed is by the country and the Knights, but here they will use Dark Elf's Dolphin abilities in a way that will allow them to develop huge boundaries.

"The next step is to infiltrate the nest with attack magic and burn as many enemies as possible."

"So, while we're making a fuss, when a separate squad enters the nest for the Queen's Crusade,"

They're not people, they're monsters. If we attack from here, we'll be sure to respond. Now if it was a castle where people stood and caged, I can also decide not to ride some attack or provocation and not to move still. Easy to do in that the opponent's movements can be easily predicted and guided.

Instead, an army of worms is a battle machine that does not fear death until it reaches a single soldier. A terrible soldier who fights 100% of his strength without panic, no matter what his disadvantage.

In the end, we need more than that to exterminate them.

"Yes, the size of the enemy is mighty, but he seems to have thoughtfully stepped through the offense in anticipation of having enough force to carry out the operation somehow"

Well, it's a fight that's risky, but worth the bet. If we cage in Morrigan thoroughly on defense, we can be sure they're pushing over and causing less damage to the city. If you beat it here, you can cure things with minimal damage.

"What do we do? Should we be thorough with the broiled yang?

"If you are an adventurer, you may have some freedom to move without hope. At least, if you could keep up with the pace of the operation, so."

"Okay, you know what?

"There are a lot of people who want to pick up the queen and give her a hand. Even if you can't push the ops, it will only cause a backlash."

Is that Dylan one of them? Well, the adventurer is not a knight or a soldier. The consciousness to comply with the superior officer's orders is faint.

More importantly, the adventurers participate in the emergency quest because of the possibility of raising the key to a grand grab. Treated like a convenient handkerchief, the adventurer will no longer cooperate.

"Well, then, you don't have to complain about us breaking in."

"From the Knights of Farren and the Temple of Morrigan, we have each decided to let the elected elite in, but if you don't get in the way of it, the adventurers can, please, ask you to head for the Queen's crusade"

Most importantly, it would require considerable strength and luck just to get close to the nest and make an entry in the midst of a massive battle with an army of bugs in Operation Yang Dynamic.

"But I won't force it. I really don't think you're wacky that I have to give you a hand here."

"Hehe, but I'd love to see Master Krono take over the queen."

"If I had a chance."

No, really, it's an easy-going thing, because there's no constraint of having to take it down yourself, like when you're in Gratney Oct or Chaosic Lim. The situation is good, boss, if someone knocks you down. I always want to come to battle with so much room in my heart.

Oh, my God, the lightness is when you arrive on the ground, and it blew up.

"Master Chrono, here it is. There are alert ants and bees, so please don't jump out of the woods."

Hearing Brigitte's attention, I peered softly out of the shade, and there was their nest.

"Hey, what a big deal..."

Its immensity takes my breath by accident.

The surrounding trees must have been felled. Only the perimeter of the nest is opened beautifully round. The trees here, the forest of giant trees, boast a height of fifty metres around here. Even with those trees around, the Central Hive, which stood in the middle of this empty space, was too big and expensive.

If green trees are symbols of nature, they are overwhelmingly tall and artificially shaped, like the iconic skyscrapers of civilization.

"I thought this was over 300 meters."

"Measured, to the top, they say there's 350 meters."

It's over the Tokyo Tower. Damn...... but so is the decadence, but in a creepy shape.

The overall look, like a match stick, should I say? A building-like rectangle where the part of the stick extends from the ground to the sky. It has a plaster-like bright white color and looks like a pretty solid material.

And near the top, it has a large swollen, spherical shape. The size seems to be more than 50 meters in diameter.

The look is very similar to the nest of tinned bees. That strange look, like a mara pattern, like a seashell. However, the patterns are just similar, the colors are white and even dark areas are gray.

Around it, at a height of 350 metres above the ground, there are booms and countless bishopbees flying around, which really only seem like a giant hive.

But hives are built to fish down on trees and houses, but they look so heterogeneous because they're formed over white, built-in structures.

And at the top of this huge hive, there's a queen.

Ordinary hives, this white nest is domed and many soldiers are waiting underground. Only Central Hive has a giant building shape that pokes at heaven. So if you look at the nest at a glance, you'll know if there's a queen in one shot.

"The operation will begin after sunset. Until then, you will be asked to wait around to avoid irritating the nest as much as possible"

Copy that.

Now, how do we attack that giant insect building? At best, let's even think about time ippies.

A temporary tree house, or on a scaffold, we wait until the start of the operation. Being on the ground usually engages with working ants who run around collecting food and materials. If we're on a tree, we can almost get them through.

The Dolphin unit in charge of activating the Great Junction, which needs to be ready long underneath, is already scattered on all sides and is forming on the trees just like us. Perhaps they're the ones being chased the most at the hour right now.

Meanwhile, coming as a large group, the Knights and a bunch of adventurers seem to have played many skirmishes on their way here. If you line up the boulder with Zorozolo, both ants will notice its existence and give it a whirl.

Fortunately, affected by small-scale fighting on the ground and on the road, there was no sign of the nest moving out. It's everyday tea and rice that the working ants who let them go outside don't come back. I guess choices such as heading to rescue your buddies don't even come up with an emotionless bug monster.

Anyway, steadily, by sunset, the forces gathered and followed to a placement that surrounded the Central Hive.

"Don't let the sun go down anymore... it's time"

"Are you a little nervous?

"There hasn't been a lot of attacks in this time."

Sure, and Fiona snorts cocklessly.

Whether in Alsace or Galahad, it was the Crusaders who attacked us, and in Ischia we jumped from ourselves into the field of battle. Larspun is almost like an encounter, and as far as the chaossic rim goes, it suddenly moved against expectations.

"Well, you look okay this time"

"Uh, you can't say that kind of thing."

Whoa, I didn't expect Lily to point out the alarm flag.

"But once in a while, I hope we won as we did."

"If God and the Apostle aren't involved, I think we'll be fine, too,"

Yeah, well, there's a lot of trouble around here. Hey, Mia, listen, it's about you.

Master, it's time.

I'm not even a wacko with a watch, but Saliel runs out. And as much as I doubt that, I'm not insulting her either.

"Has it started?"

Shortly after Sariel says, there are signs of intense magic in Russia. Signs so intense that even amateurs can feel it. That is, the activation of the Great Junction.

The chanting voice clearly clings to the forest from the Druid Corps, which is already positioned on all sides, entering a stage where there is no longer any need to hide the signs. Chanting spells in different worlds languages that are still hard to hear, but I know so much that Sole is a powerful word that I don't like it, and I can feel it with so many signs that it will tingle on my skin.

Both nest bugs react to the signs of magic that show this unusual increase and start to move in haste, but slowly. Already, this magic is complete.

"-" The Four Seasons Spirits (Force Silhouette Garden) "Huh!

At sunset, a dazzling light shines in a black forest filled with darkness. Red, blue, yellow, and green - The four colors of light emit in their respective colors from East, West, North and South. A curtain of translucent light, a layered glow like an Aurora, and, if you notice, it was spreading with your eyes, both on the ground and in the sky, so as to completely cover up the huge central hive.

"Whoa, that's awesome, this is the big line"

"That's a great completion. I don't think so… to Dada, it's not the Dark Elf's shrine."

Seems like a fine juncture, enough to accidentally and honestly admire Fiona as well. Even if you're not particularly familiar with magic, if you can show off the boundaries of light like this de flashy illusion, everyone will lose their temperament.

But the power of this great juncture, The Four Seasons Spirits (Force Silhouette Garden), is exerted from here.

"- Restore our Divine Domain! Attack, everyone!!

From the Great Cleric Agnor, the life of the total attack finally comes down.

Intense light was shot out of the glowing Aurora before attack magic and fire arrows to strike into the nest were emitted simultaneously.

From the layer of red light, several bursts of flame are whirled and emitted. From the blue layer, the blue and white glowing cold air blew as it turned into a heavy snowstorm. Thunder from the yellow layer, and storms from the green layer. Attacks tailored to each attribute have been unleashed on a considerable scale from all sides of the Great Junction.

I didn't know you had the ability to attack, not just for defense.

Detecting the complete anomaly, "Bugs Brigade" had one pawn ant gushing out of rage after another from the central hive of the tower and the entrance and exit of several ground nest holes open around it.

Where it came out, the flames, the snowstorms, the thunderstorms, the storms ravaged it.

"... what to do, go?

"Wouldn't it be better if we waited a little longer?"

D Thanks to the flashy junction attack unfolding, it's a little out of time to let go of our attack. Fiona's right, let's wait a minute.

As such, furious four-attribute magic blows through the wrath of the Spirit who has defiled the Divine Domain, but after all, the number of violence that 'Bugs Brigade' boasts is also considerable.

By the number of enemies springing up, attacks from the junction begin to disperse. As a result, the fire suppression began to fade, and if so, they began to gain momentum and push forcefully through. Over the carcass of his fellow mountain sooner rather than later, the soldier ants formed around the nest, heading straight for us crusaders.

In addition, a large group of Bishopbees dancing over the sky move and strike from both the ground and the sky, becoming an overwhelming mass attack.

"You want to go?

"Isn't it good yet?"

Pull it, Fiona, but now a full-scale offense has been launched by the Crusaders. Giant fireballs and thunderbolts, thought to be massive combined magic (union), that would have been prepared in advance, are fired one after the other.

Mixed with it, an attack is also fired from magicians and archers, forming themselves on scaffolds strewn over trees. Countless attack magic and arrows burst into a colorful rainstorm, head-on into an approaching legion of worms.

If it's just the ants on the ground, it's a storm of so harsh an attack that they don't send a single one, but after all, Bishopby looming from the sky is troublesome. Bumps and deaf feathers, scattered all over the sky, they're hard to put together and finish.

As it is, it quickly comes from overhead.

"It's time."

"Not yet."

Fiona can stop me. Me, the leader, right?

"- Knights of the Winged Beasts (Griffon Knights), let's go!!

The fierce ambition and the tall roar of the Raptors whilst simultaneously winging at the sky is to the Griffon, a group of knights across.

A boulder is an important part of the divine domain when it comes to putting in valuable aviation forces. I guess I rushed here in a hurry.

Farren heard that he is not a heavenly horse (Pegasus) or a flying dragon (Wyburn), but a horse riding heavenly through a winged beast (Griffon). Since there are many griffons living in the woods, are you a partner to fly in the sky more than in ancient times?

The Knights of the Winged Beast (Griffon Knights), which gives a sense of history and tradition, does not leak into the example as one of the few aerial forces, but is also made up of the most elite.

Even if the braces can't throw up, Griffon himself is the flesh of a big lion, with unbeatable toughness even for Wyburn. Knights across it are familiar with spears and magic, and can be melee and magical ranged attacks.

It's inferior in number to Bishopby, but with some anti-aircraft attack magic cover from the ground, there's no reason for them to lose. Bravely and resolutely, the Knights of the Winged Beasts (Griffon Knights) stormed and began a fierce riot as they carried out a series of wind attack magic toward the hitherto imminent army of bees of the ground forces.

"Wouldn't it be a good time"

"Right."

Though much of it felt rushed by Fiona, anyway, the full clash between Morrigan's Crusaders and 'Bugs Brigade' began. The earth, the sky, everywhere is full of enemies. This will allow you to sweep a lot of bugs wherever you shoot them.

"Okay, then - 'Element Master', let's go!
