Kuro no Maou

The next day, the 18th of the month of dawn.

Everybody, you're all set.

After breakfast, we assembled in a large garden for nothing in the mansion.

It's not just me, Fiona, Sariel. Deacons and maids, including Sebastiano and Rottenmeyer, who work in the Mansion. And with Ain at the head, we gathered all the Homunculus, who are currently working in Sparda, here.

Over a hundred people have gathered in total, and it has been busy since living in this mansion.

Most of all, it is the faithful and incomparable homunculus that makes up the majority of the population, with an undisturbed alignment, with no single private language, staring straight ahead at me. When such a serious gaze arrives, don't be nervous...

"I think orders have already been given by Lily, but let's just say it again. Everyone gathered here today will now act as a member of my mercenary regiment."

"Jesus, My Lord!!

The response echoes with an entirely unanimous voice.

Too loudly, my neighbor's halfling family was peering this way through the window of the house wondering what was going on.

"Fiona, can you do it with the soundproofing world?

"If it's an easy one, even soon--" Wind Wall (Ale Defan) ""

The windy walls that swirl violently cover the mansion's garden. It's not a dedicated soundproofing junction, but this won't even leak some shouts outside to annoy the neighborhood.

"I've never been but an adventurer. Only once have I had the experience of leading so many people in battle. It also suffered such a great loss that I would regret it for the rest of my life"

The number of people here right now is 103 in exact numbers. Oddly enough, it is the same number of people as the Alliance of Adventurers who fought the Alsace defense.

"But Lily told me I was finally ready. Again, I'm trying to lead people into battle with the Crusaders. It's not enough for me or 'Element Master' to fight them. We need more power, more power. To this end, form a mercenary regiment first. We need all of you."

"Jesus, My Lord! I dedicate everything to you!!

It is a force such as loyalty Max from the beginning.

In fact, he is an artificial human being (homunculus) manufactured to be absolutely obedient to his husband. It would be an ideal kind of distribution.

It would be convenient to use them like that, I feel guilty... but we can't afford to choose the means. Use anything you can use.

But even if the loyalty they devote to one heart is just instinct, I want to be the Lord who rewards it.

I won't let you die in vain. They are the adventurers led in Alsace and one who is no different.

"Tell me more about the assignment than this"

The homunculus made of Shangri-La is basically assumed to have the same performance. But by starting the battle between me and Lily and already gaining some experience, individual differences have been made. Some of them are unsuitable.

Lily had identified such talents and aptitudes, roughly allowing for a division of roles. Based on that competency due diligence, I decided to form a unit.

"First, a unit of heavy cavalry (catafract), led directly by me. Combine the First Experimental Unit" Salamandra "with the Adventurer Party" Pixies "and organize them for twenty people"

Even in modern times, cavalry is the floral shape of the battlefield. The main force of the army is basically an infantry to be numbered, but the assault and manoeuvre that transforms the battlefield can only be held by cavalry.

In the history of the Earth, those who have successfully used this cavalry have become heroes decorating great victories, and numerous similar examples have been told in this other world.

However, flying cavalry such as Dragon Cavalry (Dragoon) and Heavenly Horse Cavalry (Pegasus Night) will be fully top compatible with cavalry...... it is difficult to organize this in enough numbers to operate as an army unless it is in the Great Powers class.

Since there are few places that can be operated, the battlefield flower shapes will mean a cavalry that can be aligned at a minimum in any country.

"Heavy cavalry (catafract) is, naturally, the sharpest, if you don't have the strength to be able to fight on horseback. Equipment is also available in all ancient weapons that can be used as it stands"

But on a scale that we haven't seen on a single battlefield, like 20 cavalry, the biggest advantage we have is a bunch of ancient armaments that Lily brought back to life.

Shangri-La, an ancient warship called the Sky Battleship, has more than enough infantry gear sleeping in it, and the fifth tier of the Great Labyrinth of Carla Mara, liberated in the meantime, was an extensive range of items for infantry. Gold and silver treasures like mountains were missed, but it is significant that a powerful armed force of instant warfare was obtained.

"I'll leave Ein with the deputy captain of the heavy cavalry."

"I sincerely pray for your life. It's an honor to be here, and I'm sure you'll do your part to see it."

Those who become heavy cavalry, even below Ain, who have been appointed deputy captains, are kneeling and drooling their heads.

They are all the ones Lily recognized as the best.

The first experimental unit, Salamandra, has practical training in the use of ancient armaments. The members are headed by Ain, the first nine. Eight of them, excluding Ahat and Noyne, who are still on another assignment, and ten others, plus two additional selected excellence.

They have not just let go at the shooting range, they have even gone into action after the actual battle with monsters against them in the vicinity of Avalon and Sparda.

Fully armed with ancient weapons, including the EA (Ether Arms) series, which is a magic gun, they refrain from letting them operate with dignity as adventurers, so they are splitting into dungeons and fighting so that no one can find them.

The defeated monster material is also rewarded by the Alliance by being sidelined by the 'Pixies', who are truly adventurous. Where you can make money, it's a waste of money if you don't make it.

If you are from the Adventurer Party Pixies, we use Zwei as our leader and lead other selected excellence to work in Avalon and Sparda. Seems to be able to blend in as a normal person, especially since no problems have been reported.

This' Salamandra 'and' Pixies' both have enough horseback riding experience. Lily bought the horse riding for the number of people on her stomach and said she was letting them use it. If you're going to be an adventurer of Rank 3 or higher, you need to ride a horse.

With that kind of wack, adding to the actual battle and experience of horseback riding, they're the only ones who can fight now as heavy cavalry (catapult). Super Elite among the homunculus, truly a valuable talent.

"Next, Fiona leads the magician squad."

"Eh."

"Why are you surprised there?"

"Are you okay, Mr. Chrono? You don't have any command experience, do you?

It is a word that doubts a man's head with dignity.

As for Fiona, I guess she felt like it didn't matter how many homunculus she had, moving as before.

"Shouldn't we be experiencing this within the present?

"Fulfill it, will it? Unlike Mr. Lily, I don't have the talent to be telepathic and mind controlling. Me and Lily both lived our lives together, but I'm more muscled."

"Is that what you say with confidence..."

Indeed, Lily would be more overwhelming on top in terms of communal power. Whether you're a toddler or a girl, you can read the air with that, and you're very sensitive to the mechanics of people's minds. Thanks to you, the important negotiation is also thrown round Lily. Yes, like Carla Mara. How much work do I have to do with Lily...

"Homunculus is faithful to orders. Everybody listens to me. You're a good girl."

"But I'm not directly in command."

"There you go, 'cause I'm transferring authority properly"

"When I fought Lily in Shangri-La in the first place, the last time I was shot by Homuncrus, I lost."

"Let the past flow into the water. offensive...... no its a pre offensive issue but anyway homunculus just followed lily's orders faithfully. Don't hold them accountable."

"When they say that, you have a point. Interpretation, because homunculus is just a tool to obey the Creator. No one resents the sword that slashed you."

It's not the gun that's bad, it's the gun shooter that's bad, it's a logic like that.

If Homncrus has no ego, let's say it's all Lily's fault for ordering him to shoot.

"Still, don't just treat me like a tool. If I can speak the same language and communicate, I think I'm a person."

"Yeah, even I, I'm willing to go out of my way to treat you so intact... wait a minute, didn't I just talk to you on the assumption that I'd take care of you?

Did you find out?

Something's going on, then I left everyone in the Mage Squad to me, and I thought it was going to end.

"The treatment of homunculus and my leadership of the troops is a completely different matter, Mr. Chrono."

"Please, Fiona. This mercenary regiment is formed on the premise of dealing with ancient weapons. I'm not going to ask for anything other than my own."

If there is no one who can do it, it is natural employment theory that you can take someone who can do it, but the operation of ancient weapons should still be a secret.

I have trouble getting it stolen out poorly. Besides, the most effective use of ancient weapons in modern times will have to be tried and misused by hand.

At this time, the attention cannot be avoided by the use of ancient weapons as a mercenary regiment and their great activity. But that's why you can't let anyone get involved, and if you want to spill poorly, it's not something you know what problems and damage will come out of it.

"The Mage Squad is a rear guard. I would be named a magician, but only Fiona would actually use magic. Everything else will have you using sniper rifles, launchers, and weapons that can attack at long range."

Mage units in this world require different abilities and training than ordinary soldiers, such as simultaneously unleashing attacks or working together with each other to activate great magic.

If you're going to make me run such a legitimate magician's unit, no matter how much Fiona is a magical genius, I can't. Even if one of you is awesome, it doesn't seem like the others can fit in, it doesn't make sense as a unit.

"But if it's just enough to give me backup shooting and shelling, Fiona can just instruct the target and timing. Of course, I think simply defending Fiona, who chants, is worth making a unit"

An adventurer's party keeps the gap open with no avant-garde, no rear guard, but if I lead a heavy cavalry and storm, it won't.

But if there were a group to defend and cover Fiona as a unit, we would be able to fully demonstrate that strength on the battlefield as well. Whatever, it's effective enough that Fiona broke up an escort just to buy time to let go of The Golden Sun (All Soleil).

"... I see, I get it. If Mr. Chrono says so much, let's try things."

"Oh, I asked you, Fiona"

It is a wack of sunshine and the formation of a magician unit.

Candidates are especially good at shooting.

Since Fiona specializes in sweeping away a wide range with great firepower, if accompanied by someone capable of pinpoint shooting with a sniper rifle, they make up for each other's weaknesses.

Of course, some launcher gear can explode if you let it go, so you can expect it to work as artillery support along with Fiona.

The Mage Squad has a total of thirty.

"All the rest, infantry units. It will be the organization of the fifty most. I'll leave the command to Sariel."

"Yes, Master"

Sariel has a cross spear as his main gear, but now he can also shoot off the 'EA Voltex Machine Gun' he took out of Shangri-La with two cloves.

It's still new to my memory that he kicked the ants and stormed the Bugs Brigade's nest while barrage with me.

"The basic equipment for infantry is a storm rifle. It's not just spear infantry. You know the difference, right?

"Yes, I know enough"

Its operation is completely different between infantry with spears and swords, the standard infantry in this world, and modern infantry equipped with rifles that can be fired in tandem.

Now in different worlds, where firearms were in the form of war before they developed, formations that consolidated infantry groups, for example, are burly active tactics. On the other hand, in the modern age of the planet, the sight of uneven and soldier shooting side by side… etc. is not seen in any backward country.

The spread of guns changed the way wars were fought. It became a muddy trench battle from a meeting that hit each other's total battle power in the plains. Everyone has a special blow gun, so the soldiers are scattered, and the way they fight each other in hiding has changed.

And Sariel's experience of fighting modern wars as an apostle goes hand in hand with Mr. Shirazaki's knowledge of modern Earth.

The only person who can talk to you is Sariel, who feels exactly like me. Sariel is the only one who can command them who are asked to operate in the most diverse ways on the basis of infantry.

Though I'm sorry that Ciro, Pegasus' beloved horse, won't have much of a chance to fly.

"From now on, we're a hundred men's mercenary regiment. There will also be more gear, food management and various jobs on the means of mobility. Leave those parts to Sebastiano and Rottenmeyer. Saliel will assign me the other numbers I need from the infantry. If it's not enough, I want you to talk to Lily right away because it's possible to increase the number of people."

"Roger. If it's about a hundred people, managing supplies isn't that much either. Can operate without problems"

It's a worthwhile response to rely on so much. The boulder is a former commander-in-chief who led a crusader who counts Un 100,000.

Honestly, I've only been around Alsace with a lot of troop operations. All I had to do was try and error on the ground, and I was prepared, but with Sariel, it looks like I could do well.

"And finally... F-0081, step forward."

"Yes."

None of the replies are visible.

Where are you, I think, from the far rear, a little shadow came out of the line of Homunculus.

Hmm, that little kid... wasn't the one who had my pillow yesterday.

"You're F-0081, no doubt."

"Yes... I'm F-0081"

Homunculus is basically faceless and calm, but this child is slightly stiff in movement. Plus, you can swim your gaze and see how upset you are.

Is it possible that emotions are more developed than other individuals?

"I hear you helped the Simmons when you ran into Bugs Brigade. Thanks."

"Ha, ah..."

As if the extreme of tension has been reached, when I open my eyes, my unspoken voice is leaking.

Um, I thought it would be a good idea, and I called it on this occasion where we're all in one place, and I'm so nervous that I'm going to look and feel sorry for myself, I'm going to regret it slightly.

I can't help it, I'll finish this place early.

"In recognition of its merits, I give it a name. From now on, your name is Prim."

"Pu, pu..."

Yeah, something's already sounding weird. I need to let you go fast. It looks pathetic.

"I hear Prim is currently the sole operator of Armored Armor (Power Armor) 'Hellhound'"

Though half coincidental, the ancient armor tailored by Simon is brilliantly certified as wearer of prims. The armor (power armor), officially named 'Hellhound', sleeps in several other aircraft, Shangri-La's arsenal, but only the Prim aircraft is in operational condition.

The fact that it can be used at the corner has meant that Prim has worn mechanical armor as it is and has acted as a second experimental unit, Sylphide, it is said.

I mean, besides me, I'm the only valuable manipulator of this ancient armor.

"Therefore, you shall also belong to the heavy cavalry. As the same ancient armor, I'm going to say hello, Prim."

So I stroked my head because it was small, the next moment.

"... cum"

Pretty crying, Prim knocked over.

What, what is this... my fault?
