"You think Zytreed lost?

"Ha"

To Chancellor Tuscany, who bows his head respectfully, Wolfe gripped his own rich beard and thought.

A trinket that doesn't even have to deal with him, and he's just a magician, Zytreed said. Being a rare hero who does not accept witchcraft, there is no way he can lose in a semi-productive way.

"... you might expect it"

"… Your Majesty"

Toscan shouted blamefully at Wolfe, who smiled unexpectedly.

"Lady Eunice... what the hell is the princess for...!

"It's Tuscany. Your anger is better."

To Toscan, who risked his life to recruit him, Wolfe answered Eagle Deep.

"But what is born of being a hero has its values as a hero. If you're gonna die, you're gonna be happier leaving this world sick."

"... doesn't seem very like it to me"

Wolfe nods.

"That honesty of yours is why I keep you beside me. But sooner or later, the day will come to know."

"But..."

"Your Grace, I have a report for you."

The report of the conductor blocked Tuscan's words from eating down.

"Allegations"

"Ha. 3000 demon kings appear in the north of the king's capital, on a plain about 10 miles. Unlike the previous battle, most of the demons seem to be. I am currently aiming for the King's Capital in a straight line, and I was wondering if I would probably reach the King's Capital in about a moment."

The conductor knelt down and reported in a calm voice. The hell you call a demon that outweighs people, and it won't be a battle in 3000.

"Close the gates of the king's capital and take all the armies and hit the defense."

"Castle… So, are you there?

The conductor was surprised by the king's words and inquired unexpectedly. I'm not the person to deal with that. All we have to do is hurry up and send out 10,000 soldiers and hold a showdown on the plains. If it is a castle, time, equipment and soldiers will be used. A castle is usually a means when the losing side of the battle runs out of supplies or waits for reinforcements.

"That's right. All armies, take 100,000 and hit it with all your might."

"... Ha!

The conductor saluted and quickly followed the scene. I listened back unexpectedly to the unusual order, but there is no room for him, originally a pawn, to question the king's life.

Beyond that, you must inform the Knights of their lives and prepare them for defense as they prepare to emerge.

"Well... I will give you my full strength. How do I get out with 3,000 soldiers, O demon king..."

Wolfe, yes, shrugged.

"... the castle?

Oul shut the gate and raised his suspicious voice when he saw the enemy armies consolidating his protection.

"You don't seem to be licking me this time."

Fluffy floats on its back, Lil says in a hard voice.

"... but the operation remains the same"

This time, the power we prepared revolved around the giants, the Lizardman, and the sub-men who said Centaur, the elite among the elites even in the Labyrinth of Oulu. Alchemy is no less pale than that of the regular Grandiera soldiers, and beats that with the high ability of the species themselves.

Nevertheless, the enemy army is 100,000, not a number that can be managed at 3000. Not to mention the opponent chose the castle.

"I'm counting on you, Logan."

"Oh. I'll take care of it. I'll make up my mind with a blow."

Logan smiles and undertakes. Only Logan and Lil have this battle power. Both Ellen and Mio are turning to the defense of the labyrinth.

"It's creepy when you laugh at me with that face"

"Don't make me look like this, I don't even like you!

With the exchange between Lil and Logan on his back, Oul ordered.

"All armies, assault!

And then the march of death begins.

"... are you here"

Coming to the other side the Demon King's Army, Wolfe shrugs. With the sword of his active life, he was dressed in armor just like a hero in epic poetry (saga). The morale of the soldiers had reached its climax when the rising hegemony was full of overflowing power.

Huge gates are hard closed, and even siege-class sorcery cannot be broken so easily. On top of the robust soldiers are weapons that are said to be stone throwers (catapults) and stone bows (baristas), and the gap is filled by soldiers with long bows.

If it fits within range, these will fall like rain, and they will not even have time to reach the gate. That's the number 100,000 to 3000.

I don't even get caught in a trap like a pit because I don't want to get out of here. The rockfall attacks I showed you in the previous battle also have a range of flying magic users and ranged crossbowmen ready to shoot you down as soon as you find them.

Realistically, Wolfe's win should be unshakable. Still, it should be noted that he waited for those who would betray that expectation. Oul shows up, it's been years.

"It's time for a range. All units, stand down!

Critical, stone throwers and stone bows are squeezed. These range approximately 400 yards (about 360 meters) and can attack more than double the distance of a long bow.

"Now, shoot!

At the same time, countless arrows and stone balls dance through the universe. At about the same time, Oul's army scratched out.

"Is that a phantom!?... No, metastasis!

Alerting the phantom is the first step in the war. There's no way the sorcerer under Wolfe isn't on guard. But neither did Wolfe, who had no idea there was a metastasis after this distance. Transferring the army, for example, will inevitably cause confusion. Also, just transferring should eat a lot of magic. Not to mention, it's not a sane shakedown such as a transfer while marching.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is over there!

Moving his gaze to the soldier's report, the Demon King's Army was moving about 100 yards from where he was. It's 200 yards from the side and the outer wall from the direction Wolf's army was holding the bow. When you get so close, it's a little painful to use weapons.

"Archers, stand up!

Strong soldiers mount long bows. After all that great magic. How dare you say demon king, even the magic that prevents the bow remains.

The Wolf's idea was betrayed again.

"Your Majesty, half of our enemies have shifted further!

"What!?

The first half of the Demon King's Army, cavalry...... no, a group of half a horse (Centaur) shifted further and approached the outer wall for up to 100 yards. I didn't expect to divide even fewer armies in half.

"... make sure you keep the rest of the troops safe. The horses intercept on the outer wall!

The archers, one after the other, sniped at the successor units of the Demon King's Army and began to release arrows. Strong lizard men (Lizardmans) and giants don't flinch at it at all, causing them to twitch less but invade the outer walls.

"We've been picked up!

"Drop him a stone and feed him burnt oil!

To the king's command, the soldiers throw down stones and burnt oil from above the walls one after the other. While the Centaurs are scratched by it, they won't stop pushing into the walls.

As a matter of fact, magical protection is weak when it comes to walls compared to gates. Compared to the gates endowed with witchcraft in mind, the walls are equal to nothing magical.

But still, the walls made of bricks are robust. You can't break it with most attacks, and even if you can, that hole is small. Unlike the gates through which a large legion can pass if destroyed, there is little tactical significance even if one or two people are drilled into holes through which to pass.

Is that just a reckless special attack...? When Wolfe was busy, the walls suddenly exploded and huge holes popped open. Demons of the Demon King's Army invade the king's capital simultaneously from their holes. No matter how many people are killed, it's a terrible attack.

Seeing him cut ahead of the line, Wolfe understood the enemy's aim. Sure, if Oulu is going to beat Wolf, that's all he's got.... but if that's the case, it's a good place to drop expectations.

"Your Majesty!... that, to the enemy..."

"There would have been a Zytreed"

When I finally uttered the word of the commanding soldier, the soldier stared at Wolfe's face as surprised.

"Daikanya, I guess I'm letting the devil manipulate the carcass as well. He's the one who smashed the walls."

Wolfe unleashed the treasure sword 'Frant' and raised her anger.

"Pull the soldiers. I'll let him know. What a real hero looks like!

Wolfe jumped down the walls and raised her roar. Even the stone wall trembles in its voice, rattling. When he waved his sword at the demons who were coming forward, the demons were severed in two for 10 yards without reaching the blade.

As it were, Wolfe ran like the wind. Wolfe quickly reached beneath the man who looked like his son.

"There you are. May I have my son's body back?"

Zytreed said, returning a slight grin he had never had.

"Such a convenient body, you can't give it back so easily. Oh, I'd think about it with 10 young girls."

"... the inferior species"

Throw it away, and Wolfe set up a sword. If it was him when he was alive, or if he really flipped the anti-flag, he might have beaten Wolf. But I didn't feel like losing to anything but manipulating the carcass.

"Sometimes I feel like trying to fight. Unfortunately, I'm just a courier today."

"... delivery?

A young man with amber hair stepped down before a wolf whimpering his eyebrows.

"Are you the Demon King?"

"I don't know."

Wolfe glanced at him. The magic, the body, it's not like we're talking about it. There's no point in Zytreed saying no to trinkets, Wolfe thought.

But at the same time look him in the eye and he's sure.

It is the eyes of those who do not choose the means for the purpose. He was a pure, tough eye of will, worse in nature than cunning and bravery. It has been the owner of these eyes that have hunted Wolf down in his previous life.

"... demon king. Now, it's too late to think that demons like that can beat me. What the hell kind of hands have we got?"

"Oh... if you are, I believe you can win"

Wolfe frowns at Oulu's strange words. To him like that, Oul took out a crown made of gold from his nostalgia.

It is a brilliant crown of gold decorated with a number of gems.

"It's Wolf. You are the hero among the heroes, the king among the kings. He's a better hero than anyone. You deserve this crown."

Wolfe received Oulu's list. Instead of cursing, I can't even see a piece of magic. All the gems are real, all the foundations are pure gold. It would be quite something in simple terms, but I still don't see the point in sending it to Wolf on this occasion.

"What is this?

"Poison."

To Wolfe, who asks, Oulu answered in the end. With that word, Wolfe reaches one.

"You, no way...!

"This is the poison that destroys this country.... I'm counting on you, Wolf. Your good fight."

Wolfe trumps Oulu, but it's already too late. WOLF's loss was definitive at the time he was brought in this crown so far, regardless of whether he received it or not.

The appearance of the devil manipulating Zaitrid will not be forthcoming. purpose had been achieved, and Oul's army had also begun to withdraw one after the other.

The soldiers shout delight in victory, but this is not victory, etc. Wolfe clenched her sword and looked up into the sky.

They're coming. It's gone, in search of precious treasure.

The oldest, most powerful dragon.
