Maou No Utsuwa

A large army of central aristocrats surrounds the castle fort. Whatever the quality, the power of numbers was not something that could be done foolishly, and the attack on the Castle Fort side, no matter how many times we did it, did not reach the point where we could break through the siege.

Occasionally, a coalition of Eastern Border Lords attempted to break the siege net, but that too would no longer reach the central noble army after the Knights of the Imperial completed the construction of their defensive positions.

It is also a matter of time before the castle fort falls, but it has already been a month since the imperial side began to think so.

"... are you sure they're coming?

"Yes, the Republic has notified us so."

"Have you been able to confirm the departure of the army?

"Ha. We are accompanied by a negotiating delegation. Just in case there shouldn't be."

"Any other surveillance?

We're putting up an intelligence unit.

"... you okay?

I worry about the safety of that surveillance while I seek strict surveillance. Kainel, worried anyway, continues to have tensions that make her stomach ache.

"We're winding it up pretty far. I was wondering if you had instructed me to make sure I hadn't missed my destination."

"Exactly. But...... Oscar Knights Leader"

No matter how much, no matter what, Kainel's anxiety doesn't go away.

"We split the troops from the siege army and moved them to the reserve. If you come straight ahead, you'll be lined up next to the republican army. The thickness of the main force has also increased."

"That's not all."

No. Request to send troops to the republic that I held with me. But the Republic has actually moved the army. I can't be happy with the success of the negotiations, etc. I don't know which way the Republican Army spear is headed.

"I think too much. Look, if the Republican Army is serious about fighting, is it okay to point the whole army at the Republican Army? Honestly, I'm not confident in this army where the central aristocratic army is in the lead"

"You seem confident in other armies."

"The Imperial Knights were also pretty well trained in action. Especially in defensive combat. If we can set up a strong defensive position, we won't say we can win, but we won't lose."

Oscar is learning even in his repeated defeats. That's the same for the army itself. Experience in action makes the army stronger than any workout.

"There's nothing like that here"

"So it's no use worrying."

"... I mean, give it up"

"I say reopen it. I didn't decide to attack you. And you said you'd support it.

"That's what I've been telling you"

"Then believe it. The Demons are honest about their contracts, aren't they?

"Apparently so."

"You can see the republican flag!

A soldier announced the arrival of the Army of the Artenkreutz Republic.

"Coming!

A black military flag rising in the wind rises on the north side of the street from the imperial headquarters.

Eventually, when the mark of the silver cross depicted there became clearly visible, the entire army line of the Army of the Republic of Artenkreutz became visible to everyone.

Leading the way are horseback riding squads stained with black colors, both military horses and armor. Behind it follows an infantry unit dressed in a different black outfit than armor, and further behind it a horseback riding unit that has consolidated itself in silver armor.

Approximately 10,000 troops were slowly approaching the Imperial Army.

"... too many. Was there as much army in the Republic?"

"The center is probably a demon tribe. Troops of three thousand demons."

When Kamui was fighting on the sidelines as Viscount Kreutz, he only led about three hundred at best. 10,000 troops were an unexpected number for the Empire.

It was a slow-moving republican army, but its march stopped quite in front of the Imperial Army.

As the leading horseback riding squad stops, the Chinese demonic infantry, the rear horseback riding squad, begins to scatter simultaneously. The Republican Army, which was marching without a column, changed formations in sight and turned into a formation.

"You're not going to fight, are you?

Controlled movement. That stirs up Kainel's anxiety.

"... I don't know"

"Oh, no..."

The moment Claudia leaked her frightened voice, a roar echoed on the battlefield.

The agitation spreads in an instant around you.

"No! Castle fort side!

Oscar screams in a panic. Because a soldier who misunderstands things is going to be in a lot of trouble when he attacks the Artenkreuz Republic.

"What!?

But that surprised my surroundings even more.

Troops pop out one after another from the gates of a large, open castle fort. The siege army of the central nobility, which was distracted by the republican army, had already been plunged into chaos by surprise.

"Tell the Siege Army! Calm the soldiers down! Get them in formation!

"Ha!"

The knights of the decree, who were in the headquarters of Oscar's decree, let the horses run in unison.

"I won't stop! We're breaking through!

But before that order arrives, the noble army is going to be broken.

"Command! Block the direction of the Hildegand army! And the rear! Siege!"

"Ha!"

With additional orders, the transmission makes the horse run again.

"Michael! Move the Mage Squad! Hit the magic in the front!

Oscar gives Michael instructions in an attempt to stop the Hildegand army.

"We have soldiers on our side!

"Behind it! Think time for chanting!

"Okay! Mage Squad, forward! Stop the Hildegand Army legs!

At Michael's behest, the Wizard Squad, which had withheld from the main force, moved in unison. Even in the meantime, the Hildegand army is pushing through the ranks of the Central Noble Army.

"Will it stop!?

"Stop it!

A further shock runs into the empire, which is being chased by Hildegand-led responses to the army.

"The republican army has moved!

"Become, what!?

Both wings of the republican army that were forming the party are moving forward at a tremendous speed. Eventually the formation changed to crane wings, and the republican army fronted the entire army as it did.

"Hildegand army, we're breaking through!

"Michael! Let me shoot the magic quick!

"Shoot him! You don't understand me telling you to shoot!

I heard Michael yelling from inside the witch squad in front of me. But that's all. There is always no sign of magic being unleashed from the Mage Squad.

"Michael! What are you doing!

"... for nothing"

In an atmosphere where Kainel gave up yelling Oscar, he told me.

"What's going on!

"There were still hidden balls."

"Clearly!

"Perhaps many of the Wizards follow Marie."

"... put that here? Isn't that a violation of military order!

It's just betrayal. It's not something Oscar, the knight, can forgive. But the knight and the sorcerer are different.

"You want me to punish all the monks on this scene? There's no way you can do that!?

"It's..."

"It's a light disposition, even if it can be done. It's not uncommon to violate the orders of the Order of the Oracle."

It is difficult to treat a magician with special abilities called magic. And that kind of special treatment is another vicious circle of growing witches. This is not the only problem the Empire has.

"... we're headed for the republican army. The Republican Army is also moving both wings further forward. You're going to surround me."

"Do we fight or rendezvous? All I can think of is praying to heaven anymore."

"Me, too."

The Hildegand army, which had broken through the siege of the central noble army by one point, had been held back and forth by the Republican army. Nonetheless, the Hildegand army forms formations on the spot to confront the Republican army.

Eventually, as I have stated from each formation, horseback riding advances.

From the republican side, Kamui, Alto, Lutz, and Ralph.

On the Hildegand side, he and Matthias, Rank, Nicholas, and Marie.

"Kamui Kreutz!"

"Uh, long time no see"

Kamui answers Hildegand's call in a slight light. But Hildegand doesn't try to break his harsh look.

"No need to say hello or anything! Compete with me now!

"... Yes?

"I can't forgive you for what you do!

Hildegand is mad with Kamui, who can't hide the lights from a long reunion. The two emotions haven't bitten at all.

"Hey, Alto. What is Your Highness so angry about?

"Come on, you must be mistaken about something.

Alto's gaze was right for Marie, who was face-to-face. That Marie is also pointing her sorry gaze at Alto.

"Don't be talking to me, compete with me!

"I don't know what you're mad about"

"We wreaked war on the world and tormented many!

I can't deny that.

"We have manipulated measures to confuse the Empire and greatly undermine its prestige!

"Well, because that's what it's all about"

"We have devised a measure to disparage Master Terrays to sinners!

"Is that me? Will that happen?

"I plotted to give me..., me to the kingdom!

"What? That's not me!?

"Don't fall in love! And so much more! I think what you're doing is wrong!

"Eh? Did I do that?

It is also natural for Kamui to be confused. All of Hildegand's misconceptions are Marie's fault.

In the midst of a painful battle, there were so many things that I blew in to prevent Kamui from surrendering or attacking himself before he came.

Marie knew Hildegand would take care of her promise to Kamui above all else.

"I cannot forgive you as Hildegand personally, not as queen of the empire!

"So the battle?

"You're the one who's confusing the world! So I will stop you! Now is the time to make good on our promises!

The measures went well, but have worked a little too well for the serious Hildegand. And Kamui too.

"... is that coming? So, what do you do after you stop me?

The confusion disappeared from Kamui's attitude when he was told about his promise. Against promises, whatever it is, we take it seriously. Kamui imposes it on himself as the one who draws the blood of the devil tribe.

"I will fight for the Empire, in the honor of Lord Therese!

"Still fighting...... I see, okay. Then I'll stop Hilda as promised."

"Kamui, it's a battle!

I got off the horse, and the two of them turned to each other.

And there were other people to face besides these two.

"Uh, are we going to fight?

Lutz inquired, bewildered by Nicholas, who had come forward.

"Yes, because I don't know when this opportunity will come next."

"You, that's it, right? Kamui recognized him."

"It's conditional on you continuing your efforts."

"Did you go on?

"I'm going to. Let me make sure of that."

"Fine. Then call me!

I'm not a Lutz who can stay unchallenged. Lutz and Nicholas pulled their swords out of each other.

And there are others facing each other.

"Why even me?

Alto raises a voice of doubt to Matthias, who has advanced in front of him.

"That's good. I wanted to see you for once."

"Lutz, don't you have to be the other guy?

"Lutz-kun gives way to Nicholas. Because now I can't beat Nicholas anymore."

"... oh, be gentle"

"No, I'll do my best"

In a temper, Matthias took his place toward Alto.

When this happens, the remaining matches will be decided.

This combination is more aggressive on the part of the Republic.

"No, it's a battle!

"... who are you?

The rank was bewildered when Ralph suddenly challenged me to battle, which appeared in front of me.

"Ralph. A brave man."

"I see, idiot"

"Don't call me stupid!

"The one who calls himself a brave man is not stupid, what?

"That mouth, I'll shut you up soon"

"I think I pulled the detachment, but it's okay. Whoever it is, I win!

He's an unwilling opponent for rank, but the option not to fight just for himself is not in rank.

And as the whole army watched, a four-to-four battle began. In it, rolling, no matter what, was still the battle between Kamui and Hildegand.

Hildegand's sharp sword strikes Kamui. Kamui wields a sword that is almost invisible to the ordinary man.

It was reminiscent of the battle of taste, but it gradually changed. The number of times the sword sounded was increasing, as well as the obvious lack of spare color in Kamui.

I hear roars from all over the republican army at that appearance.

"I'll start looking, is that the king's?

Asked Silvere, who stood next to him in the way Ryan was impressed.

"You surprised me. It's been a long time since I've felt the possibility of a human race."

"Right."

"Why are you struggling?

"That's rhythm. He's waving his sword so fast, he still seems to be able to afford it. I don't know. I'm putting on a rush. And the king is confused."

"Not enough training?

"There's nothing more the king can teach you."

"... I mean, what about that girl?

Demons in the midst of the people, which also transcends Ryan, who belongs to the mighty among the demons. I only remember a few of them, even Silver, a long-lived elf, who met such a people.

However, this was a bit early in Silvere.

"I think you can win."

"So you're stronger in Kamui"

"If you mean it. But if you're serious..."

Settlement can be life-threatening. You can't end this fight with that result.

"Get ready to stop. Oh, our apprentice will take care of you forever."

Ryan and Silver left the line for then and approached the Kamuis.

There was something else going on between the two of us.

"Chi, wait a minute!

Alto is screaming aloud, even as he sends Matthias' sword.

"I can't wait!

"Just wait! Seriously, Yabe!

"What!?

"I'm serious about Kamui! Mr. Hildegand!

"... what the hell!

Where Hildegand's name came from, Matthias finally stopped the sword.

"That's where Kamui draws the Demon King's blood, too! Demons don't hear teething when it comes to fighting strong opponents!

"... that's not good!

"So that's what I'm saying! If I have to, I'll do everything I can to stop Kamui!

"Okay!

Alto can't be the only one who notices how Kamui is doing.

"... wait!

"What?"

"Stop it once!

Rutz also told Nicholas to stop the fight.

"Why not!?

"Are you ready to throw your life away?

"If that's what you need"

"Well, if I signal, we'll jump into that fight"

"... to that one!?

The battle that Rutz showed ahead is a tremendous one that even Nicholas can't keep up with his movements today.

The natural weakness comes out, and Nicholas is obviously freaking out.

"But I can't stop Kamui if I don't. Anyway, stop."

"Oh, I see."

The battle between Rank and Ralph was over before that, regardless of how he noticed Kamui.

"Ha. I knew it was off"

Rank standing with swords in disgruntled condition.

"Oh, that's so stupid"

Ralph, the opponent of that rank, remains stunned while falling to the ground.

"Now the battle is attached"

"Again!

"... no, things are not right around me. I can't deal with you anymore."

The battle between Kamui and Hildegand continued as the battle around him came to an end.

Hildegand, who once made a big mistake, is setting his sword in the middle and saving his temper. In contrast, Kamui's sword is also in the middle.

There's something about Kamui having his sword set up.

The moment Hildegand's body sways loosely, it pops forward with the kind of momentum that his body has suffered an explosion.

The moment Kamui tries to pay for Hildegand's upright stretched poke beside him with his sword, Hildegand pulls the sword back and protrudes it further.

"Take!"

By the time Kamui put his sword back, Hildegand's penetration had cut Kamui's cheek open.

"... heh"

Kamui leaks her exclamation as she wipes the blood seeping into her cheeks with the back of her hand.

"You avoided it"

"Well. It was a good poke inside. Is that it?

"... no, not yet"

"That's exciting"

Contrary to the grin on his face, Kamui's atmosphere turns into something that makes him feel instinctive fear.

I get carried away like a pneumonia from my entire body. Amber eyes increased their brilliance.

"Yabe! Stop it!"

"I'm going!

Ignoring Alto's stopping voice, Hildegand releases another poke.

A second poke with the same sword that Kamui shook. Kamui took it with his sword protruding.

Hildegand furthermore releases a third thrust, avoiding Kamui's sword, with a swiftly retracted sword. But even then, Kamui begins by paying his protruding sword aside.

Hildegand falls into a large, sideways position. Kamui's sword struck there.

Hildegand avoided it by deliberately rolling it to the ground, but Kamui's sword follows.

Kamui's sword, which was poked down directly from the top, appeared in both eyes of Hildegand.

I could hear Kamui in Hildegand's ear when I accidentally closed my eyes.

"You know, I can't seriously hurt Her Highness, can I?

"I wouldn't have thought so!

What appeared in the eyes of Hildegand, who opened his fearful eyes, was the appearance of several swords crossing in front of him and Kamui holding both hands and feet together.

"Oh, you know?

"We made it. Are you hurt?

"Matthias. And you, too."

It is Matthias, Lutz, Rank and Nicholas who are sticking out their swords.

Kamui's body was held up by Ryan and Silvere.

"Master, I think it's good enough?

"Right."

"Don't make me look after you at all."

"No, no, he said he stopped it himself, even if he couldn't stop it"

The terrible atmosphere I just showed disappeared and there was the usual Kamui.

"... kamui"

"My win. Now stop it."

"Was I wrong?

"No, I'm not wrong. But I don't think I need to fight any more."

"But I am"

"That's good enough, right? Your Highness, Hilda did her best, not the queen. It's time to unload all sorts of things."

"Are you telling me to just be Hildegand?

"As, well. Will that happen, and what will happen? Anyway, you should take a break."

"... right"

Over the course of this period, Kamui, who has yet to tell the truth, is surrounded by frightened faces.

"Oh, you don't boil it off."

This Marie dialogue speaks for everyone's feelings.

"Whoa, Marie, long time no see!

Kamui's greeting is something he has no idea what it's like to be around him.

"Why am I doing this for such good weather..."

"Sorry about that. Please don't do this."

Alto speaks to Marie for spilling stupidity over Kamui's attitude.

"Nothing. Long time no see."

"Right. Are you okay? Are you hurt or something?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Right. That was good......"

Unlike Kamui, the two of Alto and Marie create an indescribable atmosphere. To avoid getting in the way of it, to see those two for a little while longer, the Kamuis watched silently without saying anything, but those who smashed it up appeared.

"King Kamui!

"Er... Ah, Mr. Kainel, not the Chancellor of the Empire"

"... yeah, that's where I stand now"

"What can I do for you?

"I don't care what they say. There are a lot if you are for it. You know that."

"... for now, what is it?

Kainel says there are a lot of them, but Kamui has no idea.

"Right. Let's start with Hildegand and his one-party handover."

"Why?"

"They are traitors. We must punish the Empire as it deserves."

"Say no."

"Ha!?

There is no reason for Kamui to respond to the surrender. But Cainel didn't know.

"Why do I have to hand over Her Highness Lady Hildegand?

"It has now been explained"

"Even if you're a traitor to the Empire, it's none of our business."

"What do you mean it doesn't matter?

"The battle now is between Her Royal Highness Lady Hildegand of the Schutz Alten Imperial Army and the Battle of the Arten Kreutz Republic"

"So?"

"Her Royal Highness Lady Hildegand has won the battle. It belongs to me."

"" "Whoa!

Hearing the words of Kamui, the soldiers of the republican army lift up their voices in unison.

"Oh, hey, no. That's not what I meant! That's it, he's a prisoner!

"Shit."

"Who, you just tongued me!?

To the surrounding reaction, I'm surprised, Kainel, but now, if we have to move forward with the negotiations, we'll get back on our minds and head to Kamui.

"... Um, are you sure?

"Ah, go ahead."

"That logic doesn't make sense. This time, at the request of my country, the Republic took part in this fight. The subject of the battle is only in our country"

"... when did that happen?

"That's a notification from someone in your country."

"I don't."

"Really?"

"Who told the Empire that?

"Oh, bad, it's me"

It didn't look bad at all, and Alto was the name.

"Alto... How could you do that?

"That's safer to get here. That's the plan."

"A plan. Well, there's no choice."

Alto says it's light and convenient, and Kamui easily admits it. As for Kanell, that's not the story.

"Chi, wait a minute. What do you mean you have no choice? The Demons are honest with their promises. Didn't you talk about that?

"Alto is a people"

"Is that the problem?

"That's the problem. And you're doing the same thing in diplomacy, right?

"That's right..."

"Well, but I'm sorry to be so outspoken. I'll punish Alto properly."

"... what's that?

"In the meantime, deprivation of diplomatic status"

"Is that punishable? It doesn't seem to mean anything to your country."

Even if you have the status of a diplomat in the first place, it's suspicious.

"For once, you're demoted?

"... then I'm not convinced."

"Then...... Ah."

"What is it?

"Okay, how about this? I order Alto to take Marie of the Schutz Alten Empire as my wife."

"" Become!?

Alto and Marie are surprised by Kamui's sudden proclamation.

"What punishes you for that!?

And I have no idea what Kainel's talking about.

"Punishment, isn't it? Marie, what a sexually wicked woman to be my wife. I think you're unhappy, though, huh?

"Ko, kill him!

It is Marie who cannot remain silent on Kamui's dialogue. Half of them are deliberately on the provocation.

"Ah, look great in the captivity. You'll punish me more if I defy you. I'm gonna whip you."

"... Somebody kill that man. I don't like using my own hands anymore."

"That'll be later"

"Whoa? To Alto?

"King Kamui!

Kanell has been yelling at Kamui's jokes.

"Oh, excuse me. Go ahead."

"I want you to make it a good addition or subtraction to kidding! Anyway, the Hildegand One Party will give it to you here!

"... I said no. If you're not convinced, take it with strength."

"Hey, what is it?

Like Kanell told me, Kamui stopped kidding. The result, for Kainel, can't be good. When Kamui does something, after he's fully prepared.

"You seem to be mistaken, but there is no such thing as friendship between the Republic and the Empire. This one is always ready to fight."

"Ho, are you serious?

"Naturally."

This one's surrounded by sieges.

"Siege. Either we're surrounded or we're surrounded? You think whoever's on this scene is everything in the Republic?

"... it"

Kamui told me and Chancellor Kainel noticed looking around. Kamui Kreutz has four people loyal ministers. But now there are only three people around Kamui.

Plus, one of them.

"Oh, this man is just living here."

Tell Kanell, with his gaze on Ralph, that Kamui is mistaken.

"Don't say stay!

"In the first place, why were you out front?

'Cause they seemed so strong.'

"And if you lose, you won't be taken care of."

"Knock..."

Kamui's gaze turned again to Kainel where Ralph could be gently interjected.

"Well, Chancellor Kainel. Let me ask you an answer. War as it is, or negotiations again."

"… wish to continue the negotiations"

"Wise. Let's just promise one thing. If you want a truce with the Eastern Border Lords, the broker will buy you out."

"... also in later negotiations"

"Right. But early. Your rear base is definitely down south of here."

"Duh, what's going on?

"There is no guarantee that our country has found out and that the Eastern Border Lords have not. Be careful. No matter how many soldiers you have, you can't fight without supplies"

…………

The movements of the republican army were also: Afraid of Kamui, it's an imperial failure that focused everything on its response.

"Okay. Our army will pull up with this. If I can meet you at the negotiating table, I'll see you."

"Pull it up! Return!"

To Rutz's ordinance, the republican army instantly queues itself in the form of a march. The army that was fighting with Hildegand is with us.

Reverse formation when it appears on this occasion. With the black monochrome horseback squad led by Lutz at the rear, the Republican Army moves north. The Imperial Army can only drop that off.

"You couldn't tell me anything."

"Your Majesty..., I'm sorry"

Because of this, Kamui came out, but I couldn't negotiate at all. Kainel thought he was being blamed for it, so he uttered an apology.

"It's a truce. We have to get ready."

"Yes."

"Now I will give instructions to the army to raise them. May I?

Oscar has asked Claudia for permission.

"Oscar."

Before Claudia talks about anything, Kainel calls Oscar's name.

"What?"

"Ask again. Can you win? No, can you stay unbeaten?

"... don't ask me now"

"Right."

Kamui, whom I see for a long time, and the Army of the Artenkreutz Republic, which I see for the first time, was completely overwhelmed by the Empire.

At least, from the heart of Kainel and Oscar, such as pride as an empire, to blow it clean and refreshing.
