Interview Second Edition Operation Momotarou

Ground Self-Defense Force Topa Kingdom Special Dispatch Unit advance platoon

"Now, I'll give you an overview of this dispatch. I'm Mototaro Mottada of this advance platoon."

The platoon begins to talk.

"This time, we are sent to Topa Kingdom in the name of extermination of harmful birds and beasts ... this time harmful animals have intelligence."

Each person listens to the explanation while watching the distributed resume.

"Those who are called Demon Kings use powerful magic, but their maximum range is about 1km."

The explanation continues. The summary is as follows.

○ A pest called the Demon King has intelligence, puts other pests under his control, and tries to systematically harm humans and other tribes.

In addition, their staple food is human.

○ The Demon King has no life and is old.

○ The Demon King seems to have been created by an ancient civilization called the ancient magical empire. Probably a technique similar to genetic engineering.

○ The monsters called Red Ogre and Blue Ogre also seem to have considerable strength.

○ Oak is a giant like a giant with a total length of about 2.5m.

○ The goblin is a monster that is weaker than humans, but violent, and quickly increases in number.

○ Currently, the Knights of the Topa Kingdom are fighting for the Demon King Army in the fortified city of Tormes.

○ The purpose of this mission is not Zako but the removal of the Demon King, Red Ogre, and Blue Ogre.

"That's all ... By the way, I have to feel the intention of the government and the organization for this dispatch ..."

Red Ogre, Blue Ogre, Red Demon, and Blue Demon are defeated.

Operation Name Operation Momotarou

Personnel

Captain of the platoon Momota Taro

Squad leader Kijima Hitoshi

Squad Leader Saruwatari Manabu

Squad leader Inugami Tsuyoshi (Inugami Tsuyoshi)

The rare name, and the enemy of the demon, the name of the strategy, and the platoons gathered this time, have to feel intentional.

"The demon is exterminating the demon on the island, Momotaro and others."

Someone says

"In the party of the brave defeat of the demon king?"

Laughter laughs at the venue.

When platoon leader Momoda raises his hand, the laughter stops.

"Then, three days after departure, be sure to prepare yourself and disband."

Each person broke up.

This dispatch is for the advanced platoon to keep track of the situation and to judge how much weapons are required to destroy the target.

If possible, it is possible to destroy only the advanced platoon, but it is required that you do not overdo it.

The platoon size is

○ 5 high mobility vehicles

○ 96 type wheeled armored vehicle

○ 89 Type 1 armored fighting vehicle

○ 1 Type 10 tank

Although it is quite mixed, it is unclear how powerful a creature that is not known as the Demon King has power, so it was organized like this.

It is a problem if there is a river at the dispatch destination, but this advance information has revealed that there is only a very shallow river.

The ship will be transported to the local fortified city of Tormes by the transport ship Osumi (with escorts of course).

It turns out that there is no moat like the Japanese castle in the fortress city Tormes.

The Japan Emergency Relief Corps-Ground Self-Defense Force Topa Kingdom Special Forces advance platoon (operation name: Operation Momotarou) is dispatched to the fortified city of Tormes, located northeast of the Kingdom of Topa, to save humans, including sub-humans, from the threat of the Demon King. Was.

Topa Kingdom Royal City Berngen

A castle like a medieval European town and a quiet castle town, or worse, a country kingdom.

There are people who go to the town, some of whom are races, some of whom are beast people, and others who are called Eful.

It is a multi-ethnic state rather than a multi-ethnic state.

King Rados was astonished at the Royal Castle in Bergen, the capital city of Topa, following a report from the Diplomatic Service.

Japan, which should be reluctant to move the military, has decided to dispatch an advanced platoon.

Listen to Japanese rumors.

○ The main army of Louria was destroyed by intense explosive magic.

○ Rejected the Imperial Audit Army of the Emperor Papardia.

It is already legendary.

And yet, the death toll of Japanese soldiers is still zero.

Even a platoon may defeat the Demon King.

Fortunately, the Royal Army has stopped the Demon King in the fortified city of Tormes, with great damage.

But the Japanese military has a legendary strength, but are they all in the Great Mage class?

Soon they will arrive in the fortified city of Tormes, accompanied by our escorts.

King Rados imagines a hero riding a white horse, wearing golden armor and a cloak.

What kind of people are they?

The Japanese military is coming today.

◆◆◆

Citadel city Tormes

Knight More and the Mercenary Guy were ordered by the Order of the Knights to guide the soon-to-be-arriving Japanese army to the southern gate of the fortified city of Tormes.

The Japanese army arrives at the South Gate, escorted by the Royal Knights.

Knights More and Mercenary Guy guided us from the South Gate to the castle, after which they were to accompany the Japanese army as spectators.

"Well, more, what kind of Japanese army do we guide? I heard that it's only a platoon, but does that mean a few reinforcements?"

"The Japanese army seems to be called the SDF, not the Japanese army, but it's nice to have a large reinforcement, but only small troops and different command powers can cause confusion. I feel like they are, but if their power is as rumored, it will be amazing.

However, the content is just the content, I am half-doubtful. "

"Rumors?"

"On the Rodenius continent, the great army of the Kingdom of Louria was destroyed by a super-short, explosive burst of magic, and the magic ship destroyed the 22 dragon knights of the Great Emperor Papardia.

In all battles, there is no deaths of the Japan Self-Defense Force. ''

"Well, that's a lie. Manipulating information to make my country look strong."

"Well ... do you think so?

The mercenary guy who has been in the battles starts talking as determined.

"I've seen a lot of battlefields. Some of the armies were overwhelmingly strong, but no matter how good the weapons, strategies, and tactics, there could be a big difference in the number of deaths, but I heard no number Never.

No matter how much skill or strategy you use, it's impossible for soldiers to die at the forefront.

The country may have won local battles against Louria and the Emperor Papardia.

Well, a country that is strong enough to win only a part of the powers is too exciting to say that no one died.

I don't like that country. If it's a country that respects its appearance, why wouldn't the advance squad come in golden armor anyway? "

"Well, yeah ... but it's like a state guest, so don't be rude even if you hate it."

"Hey, understand me."

Temporarily ...

"I see, More! The Japanese army has come."

A guard on the castle gate tells Moa and others.

Bugoooooooooooooooooooooh

A dark green iron beast approaches from a distance.

"Boooooooo"

Approaching with a roar.

large.

! ! ! ! ! !

The sound of the ground is getting closer.

What the weight is ... the ground shakes just when approaching! !

Even the leading soldiers of the Royal Army are not good at complexion.

"What !!!! A monster that doesn't seem to belong to this world !!!"

Pettsu! ! !

Knight More stops in front of the mercenary guy.

A national knight, who has led the Japanese army, descends from the horse and approaches Moa.

"Here are the Japanese people. I'll ask for guidance later."

"Yes!!"

While we are talking, one of the Japanese iron dragons opens, and some strangely dressed people come down.

Wearing a round helmet without any decoration and wearing green spotted clothes.

I don't wear armor, so I'll probably wear it when it comes to battle.

There is no form of a knight imagined by More, nor a piece with a gorgeous figure.

In a word, they are barbarians.

The savage tribe is approaching Mo's.

"Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Topa Kingdom special dispatch unit advance platoon, platoon leader Taro Momota. Thank you for your guidance.

Thank you"

! ! ! ?

That the dull man in front of you, who has no decorative pieces, is the top of the advance platoon! ! ?

"I'm More, the guardian knight of the Kingdom of Topa. I'll guide you to Tormess Castle and accompany you to the Japanese army. Thank you."

More greets the Japanese.

(Hmm!!??)

A red circle pattern was drawn on a white background on the left shoulder of a Japanese soldier.

(It's a form I've seen somewhere ... uh, where was it?)

More, a little worried, guides Japanese soldiers to Tormess Castle.

On the way to the castle, people see the SDF members as if something had entered the world.

I came near the Tormess castle.

Because no vehicles are allowed inside the castle, four people get off and go to say hello to the Topa king of the Tormes castle.

Others wait there.

Because the latest is the forefront, we will also carry weapons such as automatic rifles.

Tormes Castle-Somewhere reminiscent of medieval Europe, this castle is a historic building built during the mythical era after the invasion of the Demon King.

Of course, along with the times, it has undergone many large-scale renovations, and there is no sign of Jindai. Momota is striking at historic buildings.

However, if you listen carefully, you will be able to hear people's shouts and nervous voices from a distance, and you will realize that this is the front line of the battlefield.

After the knight moor, turn a few corners before arriving in front of the captain's room.

The heavy door, Knight More knocks on the door.

"Get in"

You can hear the command from inside.

"I'm sorry. I brought Japanese people."

When you enter, there is a round table, and the deepest man stands up.

A man standing about 40 years old, about 180cm tall, wearing muscular white short hair, white beard, silver armor, wearing a red cloak and wearing a sword.

"Oh, many Japanese people came here. I'm Aziz, Captain of the Demon King of Topa."

"I'm Taro Momota, the platoon leader of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Topa Kingdom Special Dispatch Unit."

Exchange greetings.

They all sit at the round table and start checking the situation.

The following is a summary.

○ About 20,000 Demon King troops suddenly invaded from the continent of Glameus to the “Gate of the World” under the jurisdiction of Topa Kingdom, and the garrison was annihilated.

○ Afterwards, the Demon King's army invades and falls in the Minaisa district, located north of the fortified city of Tormes.

○ At this point, the reinforcements of the Topa Royal Army have arrived, and they are determined to hurt their invasion further.

○ The Demon King uses the mansion of the lord in the Minaisa district and has not gone outside.

○ There are about 600 civilians who have not yet escaped in Minaiza district, they are gathered once a day in a square in the center of Minaiza district, and several people are taken in each day and are fed by Demon King and others. .

Therefore, the number of fleeing civilians, which was initially 600, has been reduced, and is now reduced to 200 (because they were eaten).

○ The damage to the Demon King's army was about 3,000 goblins and ten orcs, and about 2,000 knights have already died.

○ About three times, a hostage rescue operation was carried out in the Minaisa area, but there was always either a red auger or a blue auger on the main street leading to the plaza. Each is destroyed and the front is rigid.

○ The hostages are eaten every day and we need to help them quickly.

After hearing the explanation, Momota understands that it is necessary to rescue the hostages as soon as possible.

"I see ... the situation is urgent."

"That's right ... if you can beat the auger, you can manage it ..."

"What is an ogre?"

"Power is strong, dozens of times human, but the problem is that they don't feel tired.

Furthermore, his hair is like a wire and does not accept swords or spears. The baristas will probably pass, but they won't hit them fast.

"I need to get rid of demons as soon as possible."

Momota takes a quick turn to rescue civilians and, if he waits for the arrival of the main unit, judges that it is an emergency situation that will cause enormous damage to the people and decides to exterminate the ogre with the authority of the platoon leader.

"As soon as we are ready, we want to get rid of the demon."

"Oh ... If the Japanese army retreats from the army and moves, it's a hundred or no manpower. Let's put out the knights accordingly."

"First, I would like to discuss the strategy."

"Then, I'd like to start the talks one hour later.

The meeting starts a break.

At the time everyone was trying to stand, a black object jumped out of the window.

◆◆◆

More perspective

The meeting is ongoing. Japan said he wanted to defeat the ogre, but by any means they couldn't seem to beat the ogre with the small group they brought.

The auger moves fast and strong, never tired.

Their iron dragon would have more power than the auger, but I don't think it could keep up with that fast movement.

It is said that the reason why the auger does not know fatigue is probably that he has continued to apply weak recovery magic with his excess power to eliminate muscle fatigue.

If you use the recovery magic continuously, it means that if the wound is incomplete, it will be recovered immediately.

How did the ancient heroes get rid of that monster?

Hmm?

Once the meeting is over, the next is a strategy meeting.

Palin! ! !

The skylight glass shatters.

An incoming black object.

The object grows in jet-black feathers, wears white clothes, and descends to the meeting room.

Pia ... that's it! ! !

"Malastras, Demon King's aide!"

Someone shouts.

Pull out the sword and aim for Marastras.

When I held my sword, the other knights in the conference room had already pulled my sword.

"Ho-ho-ho ... I have to go to my feet to take down the human head ...

It seems that it has evolved quite a long time, humans. ''

Malastras said, and headed for the knight commander and turned his hand.

At the tip of the hand, the air distorts due to magic, and a black flame appears.

"Do you want to do it !!!"

The Deputy Knight narrows the distance and slashes from the side of the Demon Marathra.

With a grumpy smile, Marastras points his hand at the Vice Knight and activates his magic.

"Hell Fire"

The flame of the black prison flame attacks the Vice Knight.

"Geeaaaaaaaaa !!!"

The black flame burns him out. Death and hot air dominates the area.

The Japanese army has a blushed face.

It looks like you're about to leave Malagastras.

After all, were many legends rumors?

Japanese soldiers point their black wand at the Demon Marathras.

What can we do?

"Legitimate Defense Shooting !!!!!!"

Dada Dada Dada Dada ...

Loud sounds that make you want to close your ears, flames coming out of the cane held by four Japanese troops, and super-fast light bullets coming out of the cane hit Marathras.

"Wow !!"

Malastras, full of holes, collapses without time to give up. Then, the stone wall behind Marastras also partially collapsed.

Quietness dominated.

◆◆◆

Malastras, a close friend of the Demon King, was struggling hard.

Wyvern, a thermophilic animal, does not exist in the cold Topa kingdom. In the meantime, I was struggling with the magic that was repeatedly shot down from the air.

More than 100 knights have died because of one of them.

But he has been attacking alone, aiming for the top of the Knights.

His powerful magic is a threat even without flying.

However, a Japanese soldier destroyed the demon beast Marathrath with a magic wand.

"Captain Hyakuta, helped me to destroy Marastras. Thank you."

"But ... because the decision was delayed, the Vice Knight Commander ..."

"What do you mean. If you weren't there, we would have been annihilated. So much of a powerful monster."

One hour later, a meeting for the rescue operation of civilians in Minaiza district began, and the meeting continued until midnight.

2 days later-early morning

The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Topa Kingdom Special Dispatch Unit advance platoon entered the Minaisa area from the castle gate.

◆◆◆

(Scary ... Scary ... Someone is awesome)

Erey, who was running a restaurant in the fortified city of Tormes, Minaiza, was terrified.

Those who survive the Demon King's invasion are once gathered in the plaza during the day and moved to a building managed by a demon at night.

In the open space, monsters watch out around you and cannot escape.

Some were trying to flee, but they were quickly caught, followed by the people, and cooked on the spot.

The demons pointed at the victims who cooked and laughed, saying, "Dance, live!"

Every day, some were taken for cooking.

"Today is ... awesome, awesome ... isn't it?"

A childhood friend, Menia, who lived next door, was also taken yesterday.

Menian parents fought desperately to take their daughter, but they were all brought together.

Living hell.

Why is the fear of the Demon King now resurrected ...

If there is God, I want you to help.

There was Guy and Knight More who became mercenaries as a childhood friend. Will you come to help me?

Because Mr. More worked at the door of the world, he may have died.

Several times the Kingdom Knights tried to come to help, but were killed by the Red Ogre, now standing on the main street connecting the square with the gates.

In old tales, the sun god who heard the prayer of the elf's god descended on the world in the battle between the Demon Army and the elf.

I am an elf.

I'm not God, but let's pray.

God! God! Please help everyone and us.

Please destroy the devil! ! Bring down the angel of the sun god again. Please! !

I pray, but nothing happens.

"Um, today's meat ..."

Also, demons are watching various tribes for cooking.

"The Demon King said he wanted something simple today."

"Today we're mainly vegetables ..."

The atmosphere of relief flows to everyone.

"Elegant women are just as good as seasonings.

The demon grabs Elei's right hand.

"I'm gonna help God !!!!!!!"

"Gora is rampage."

It was at that time.

Doun Doun

The area around the red auger was wrapped in smoke.

◆◆◆

A grenade thrown from the side street of Red Ogre on the main avenue exploded at the foot of the demon.

"I'm here !!!! Temporarily evacuated !!"

SDF members start running toward the path.

"Goooooooooo !!!"

"I'm angry and angry!"

Whether the grenade explosion has not worked at all, the ogre starts running toward the trail of the subway.

Fast! !

"Okay, the ray has shifted from the people!"

The members manage to get behind the Type 89 armored fighting vehicle.

Ogre runs on the path.

There are no civilians on the ray.

"Tee !!!!"

Don Don Don Don! ! !

The 35mm cannon of the # 89 armored fighting vehicle roars.

With a powerful 35mm gun that evaporates when touched by humans, many holes are drilled in the auger's body, and the demon falls down as if the thread of the thread doll had been cut.

Immediate death.

A group of other monsters rushed towards the Type 89 armored fighting vehicle.

◆◆◆

Self-Defense Forces and other soldiers participating in rescue operations for civilians flew out of a dry fountain in the middle of the square through a dry water supply.

Goblin Road is watching over 10 people.

Dadadadadadada ...

Eliminate the Goblin Road from a slightly elevated location above the fountain building.

Knight More and Mercenary Guy also jump out of the fountain.

"It's not at all ... anyone who thinks of a strategy in the middle of such an enemy is insane."

Guy looks around while saying that.

Discover an elf woman being pulled by Goblin Road.

"Ah ... that's it !!!"

Guy goes straight to Elei and drops his sword on Goblin Road.

Pigya! ! !

Goblin Road is exiled by Guy's sword.

◆◆◆

Elei prepared for death.

Because it is the meat of the Demon King's diet, a monster catches my hand.

"Iaaaaaaa"

"Go Gora, don't go wild"

When he was still trying to pull his hand, the foot of a demon on the main street exploded.

The demon floated in anger and went into a side street.

Dogun! ! Dadadadada ...! !

You hear the sound of something big exploding.

Other monsters also run in the direction of the sound, leaving only a few monsters.

At that time, a strange green-looking man appeared from the dry fountain tower in the middle of the square.

I was sorry for the spots, and for a moment I mistaken for a demon, but when I looked closely, I was a human, and I was holding something like a black cane in my hand.

They used the wand to bury the beast with some of the attack magic that made a loud noise.

The monster holding my hand is stunned.

One swordsman cut and demolished the monster.

He was ... a person I knew well.

"Yeah, hey, Elei, were you all right?"

It's a childhood mercenary guy.

He often came to my store to eat.

Three years ago, I was confessed that I wanted to go out, but I refused.

Even if you look at the reality, mercenaries are not stable.

But ... helped me when I was about to die.

He came to me on the battlefield with such scary demons.

(It was a little cool!)

I thought so and tried to talk to the guy,

"Erey, are you okay?"

There is a voice from behind. This voice! ! !

Look back at the speed of light.

"Mo More"

(I'm so lost for a moment. It's the same with Moa who came to the battlefield to help me. Moore is my prince of Hakuba. Absolutely escaped.)

"You came for me, Elei, Kang Ge Ki!"

It was an unsaved mercenary guy.

◆◆◆

The monster in the square was destroyed.

The Knights of the Topa Kingdom responded to the movement, leaving the castle gate and heading for the square.

SDF members have started evacuation guidance for citizens.

Distance to the castle gate, about 1.5km

Close but far distance.

With the people, they move.

After about 500m, join the Topa Knights and head to the castle gate together.

It was at that time.

"Goooooo !!!"

You can hear the shout.

"Let's go! Blue Ogre!"

The people panicked.

◆◆◆

The red auger was attracted by soldiers in spotted clothing.

Thank you for helping us at the expense of ourselves.

And the mottled soldiers coming out of the fountain eliminate nearby monsters and the people head to the gate.

At that time, a blue auger pulls 40 orcs from the north and runs.

You will surely catch up by the gate.

Orcs can finally be defeated by 10 knights.

If the orcs attack in groups, it is not simply a 10x knight.

In addition, this time, the legendary monster, Blue Ogre, is also heading.

No. I thought it would be helpful, but no matter what I thought.

The mottled soldiers did well, but this is it.

Hmm?

The mottled soldiers line the swarm of orcs in the direction that the ogre is heading, behind us.

The number is about 15 people.

With just this kind of soldier, it is not a force that can win. it's useless.

We willingly try to protect the people in order to secure some time for them to escape, but fifteen people will only increase the number of corpses and hardly gain time.

Despite, the Knights of the Topa Kingdom head to the castle gate with the people.

Do you mean to protect your people even if you discard soldiers from other countries?

I can understand that spirit, but what do you think of soldiers in the country that were discarded?

The mottled soldiers line up in a row and point their black wand at the demon.

"Tee !!!!"

Tatatatatata ...

A bullet of light is sucked into the orcs.

That powerful demon, the orc, collapses very easily.

Data Tatatatatata ...

The attack continues.

"Goooooo"

Although most of the orcs have fallen, there is one monster rushing while playing light soldiers.

Blue auger! ! !

Their attacks are not working at all. No! ! !

What can I do?

It was at that time.

"Jojima ! Use Carl Gustaf !!"

A person called Kijima with an oversized magic wand faces the Blue Ogre with the tube on his back.

"Tee !!!!"

Puzzle ...

Smoke blows out from the front and back of the cylinder, and the explosion sounds around the wood.

The next moment, the legendary beast, Blue Ogre, exploded without a hitch.

◆◆◆

The Ground Self-Defense Force, who managed to manage the demon invasion, guided the evacuation of civilians and rescued them from the Minaiza district on the north side of Tormes.

But it was dangerous. The Blue Ogre was a monster that couldn't be reached by an automatic rifle. He did not give himself a demon to Date.

No way, there are some creatures that rifles can't communicate ...

Speaking of which, Wyvern didn't fire.

It's a different world.

The unit that attracted most of the enemies defeated the demon with a 35 mm cannon, and the unit that was guiding the evacuation used the girl Gustav, which was taken just in case.

"I'm glad I was able to rescue civilians for the time being."

Captain Momota nodded satisfactorily.

From the diary of More on that day

I feel that I am in history now.

The elite Topa Kingdom army is now fighting the legendary Demon King army, a legendary Demon King army that is said to have quickly occupied the Philades continent.

Currently, in the fortified city of Tormes, he has prevented the invasion of the Demon King Army while making great sacrifices.

We may be much stronger, including the advantage of the land, than the former inter-tribal alliance.

However, only the monsters, Red Ogre and Blue Ogre, that had devastated the elite Topa Royal Army, could not be defeated by Topa.

How did the former heroes do it?

that's what I thought.

But today is a historic event.

The Red Ogre and the Blue Ogre were easily overthrown by messengers of newly emerging emerging nations, Japan.

The power of all the weapons they used was so powerful that we could not measure it.

Japan has defeated the legendary beasts as if they were exterminating the pests around them.
