Me and Doran Bellrest, along with the strongest magician Meruru, the kingdom of Arkrest, had arrived at the convened kingdom, the floating battleship.

Taken by a young servant who has been our guide, step into one of the large rooms at the heart of the floating battleship. Inside the ship, voice tubes and pipes to convey magic power are set up, and the inside of the ship made of all metal is rather small.

As the target room approached, the number of people coming and going decreased, and it could be speculated that they were also moving away as a defense against intelligence. Merle is still in a "simply" state, and as soon as he sees Prince Superior, he is likely to apologize and prostrate.

The Great Witch is vulnerable in spirit as hard to imagine from fighting at full power.

It would be an attraction if it was shown in everyday situations, not on the battlefield, but it may not be very welcome in the current situation. From a personal point of view, because of this kind of fragility, I feel that Merle is also a human being, and I like it.

"Merle, do not be afraid to apologize when you look at Her Highness's face.

"Hey, was it in your mouth? Oh, or did you read your heart?"

Apparently my predictions seemed to be brilliant, and Merle began to panic over and over, but unfortunately, neither. It is simply a rule of thumb from a short but dense relationship.

"Because Merle is a relatively straightforward and straightforward person."

"Oh, maybe my face."

"It's a face. I know that I'm regretful, but suddenly the first time from Dogeza, my Highness will be surprised."

"Yeah, be careful ..."

Following the guidance of the guide with Merle, who was shattered, he arrived at the corner protected by soldiers and wizards who clearly saw that the quality of equipment and training was different, Prince Spielion was us at the point where the thick iron door was opened. have been waiting.

A human owl A rectangular table is set in the center of a large conference room made only with practicality, Prince Superior is sitting on the upper seat, and beside it is a full-time knight Chard and a staff member by age. Men.

At the table are the main commanding officers and staff members at the headquarters, as well as some of the people who command in the fort-type golem from Bern.

The fort-type golems participate through a mirror-shaped magic communicator. Chris, my lord, is also a communication group. Giouda, whose wound has healed, is also a communication unit.

Well, not only Jiouda but also Vajé often fought against the superior Masfellow. I'm full of heart, with heartfelt praise. The Brothers in the Mores Mountains are fighting really well. Hmmm.

Then, the Highness awaiting our arrival, Meruru, look at me in turn and call out.

"Merle, Doran, they fought well in the last battle. Without your hard work, the damage from the battle with the Demon King would have been invisible."

Merle would have been too active or would have had a lot of reluctance to be active, but the only way to compete with the two Majo Shoguns, except for our Bernese talent and Renia And only Merle in the kingdom. Is it natural to work and praise her first?

His highness, at least superficially, praises the Lord, but the wizards and other princes around him have a slight cheek pull and awe-inspiring colors in their eyes. . Well, it's turned to me, but why did you stop Merle's last blow?

"And then, when you are in your Highness, I give you extraordinary words, and I am extremely grateful to you. I have fulfilled my duties as a Minister."

Merle was a bit squashed, his body was stiff due to tension, his tongue was dull, and his appearance was ragged, but he was originally a character with no ambitions or shards. Replying to her praise from her face while turning her face red.

The content of the reply is bland and legitimate, and the appearance of Merle, which looks both humorous and pathetic, does not seem to be the same person who fired the great magic with the momentum that destroyed the planet. Evidence showed that some of the princes had detoxified faces.

I'm a bit longer with Merle than others, but I'm not surprised that this woman is an extremely average woman without magic, but strangely mediocre to others Would.

Well, I can't just let Merle talk. It is the same with me that I gave praise from my Highness.

"As Merlu-sama says, he has fulfilled his duties as a member of the Arkrest Kingdom, His Highness."

"Humility is no longer a virtue, but it's a reflection of your two humble personalities. In any case, the power you show will be key in your future fight against the Demon King's army There is no doubt about Baron Berne about Doran, Baron Bern? "

Chris, whose water was directed at His Imperial Highness, bowed slightly over a communication device and broke down.

It's a different person than when I was in the fighting camp, like me or Doramina, holding down the urge to jump into the front with Elsparda and Doradnaut in my hands.

Wearing a magic bracelet that turns her appearance into the most ugly, she was witnessed by the beauty of her Chris who was first seen by Chris for her first appearance.

"We have a long day to fight against the Demon Army, and the dragons in the Mores Mountains fought well. Of course, my vassals were also for their homeland and hometown, thanks to everyone's inspiration. However, compared to Meruru's performance, it will be blurred ...

Finally, Chris smiled and looked at Merle. If you had continued the battle with the two Demon Six Generals, Dramina and I, who would have defeated the High Demon immediately, will join and cut into the Demon King's headquarters or disturb, or with the soldiers of the Bern territory It was planned to rampage up and down the front line to destroy the Demon King's front squad, but the results are as you know everybody here.

The fleeting blows that hit Merle's entire battlefield ceased the battle so early that both the Arkrest Kingdom and the Demon Army were likely to have reduced their casualties much less than expected.

"I was deeply reminded that Merle's ability was beyond my understanding, but at the same time, the leader of the Demon King's army, who was able to confront the Merle with two people ... I must say honestly that I was surprised.

It is confirmed that the Demon Six Generals also headed to the Romar Empire side and fought fiercely with the elites of the Empire, including the Twelve-wing General. I'm glad I chose to co-operate with the Empire. However, the battle is not over.

This time we have convened everyone that we need to know the power of the Demon King again and redefine our next action. ''

Well, the ability that far exceeded the expectation of Merlu, the highest strength of the country, and the unexpected ability of the Demon King who fought fiercely against that Merle, not only the local battle scale but also Have we had to rethink at the strategic scale?

His superiors, staff and princes are more or less bitter, but resemble a nightmare, with the army being kicked off by protruding individuals. However, it is not only us who are trying to reconsider, but also the side of the Demon King who knows that Merle is unexpected, or that he has surpassed it.

Next to the Imperial Highness was a man owl, who refrained by his side. He is a staff member with His Highness. The giant owl's face is exactly the same, with a monocle in the right eye, and dressed in a uniform with no sleeves to make it easier to move the arm from the wing.

"While it was a delightful miscalculation for us regarding Meruru's true ability, it is the unmistakable harvest that Bellerest has also proved to be as good a magician as Meruru.

I'm shameful, but I have some magical recollections, but I can't help but give up on the last magic that Merle released without a hand. However, Belle Rest's counterpart showed off without any difficulty, so no word of hats is enough.

Not only the owls, but the witches who are present here are all of the same opinion, pointing at me with a mix of awe and awe. Originally, I heard that the successor of Arkwich, and the Royal Palace had been playing music, but it seems that this case is equivalent to fixing it.

No matter how recruited, he does not intend to leave Bern, but the central people do not welcome local aristocracy overpower. Well, the most trusting relationship with His Excellency Superior is the greatest request, but I hope he will convey his loyalty to the kingdom and lack of ambition at times.

"No, if you know in advance what kind of magic Merle will release, you know that even if you were not me, there was something to deal with.

Also, considering the sentiment of the soldiers on the front line, he canceled the magic of Merle without permission, but even if I did nothing, that magic disappeared at the last minute that did not damage allies. That's right, Merle. "

In my remarks, the wizards in the room all stared at me with their eyes packed with thoughts of "can you do it!" They were still able to restrain themselves, just holding them down.

I have to say for myself that if there was a strong man around Merle who could stop that magic without prior preparation, she would not have been nervous so much, and the kingdom of Arkrest would reduce its strength It seems that they are quickly starting to invade the war of invasion, as Romar or Takarato.

"Hahahahah, yes. I adjusted the effective range so that no ally was there, so it shouldn't hurt my friendly army. However, because I had forgotten the major problem that it was hard for my ally to see it. , Doran ... resulting in the assistance of Belle Rest.

It was true that Merle had adjusted his ally so that it would not cause any damage, and when he changed his posture, which had begun to turn in a cat-like manner from a negative point, heard that he was steadily told, Prince Superior nodded vigorously.

At a glance, the gestures that have been heard at a glance are already resembling those of those who stand on top of the people, and made me think that the next generation in my home country would be safe if nothing else. The problem is that we are in the middle of that “what” right now.

"Believe in the words of Japan's greatest great wizard ever"

The sensitivity of His Excellency, described as “the best” rather than “the strongest” here, seems to me to me. Meruru was in front of His Highness Superior and gave a modest breath of relief.

"First of all, the early stages of the battle with the Demon King Army are over. We expect that the curtain of a full-fledged battle will begin in the future, but we will once again sense their capabilities and respond with the strategies we have built up in advance. We have determined that it is highly likely that we will fall behind or make a mistake.

Fortunately or unfortunately, it is the same for the Demon Army and the Romar Empire, but I would like to have your candid opinions on what we should do. It is not an exaggeration, but the brink of whether our home country, the Arkrest Kingdom, will be exiled. We need input from every perspective. ''

Beginning with the words of His Highness, everyone takes the meeting seriously again, and people from different positions are willing to share their findings from the battle with the Demon King's army and information provided by their subordinates.

The trouble is that the "war", which is usually used as a means, is a semi-purpose only for the Demon King. The descendants of war gods who escaped the battle of the gods and fled to the ground, but because they are looking back out of the dark wilderness in search of struggle with formidable enemies, whether they are recoils away from the battle for a long time It is.

If both the Romal Empire and the Arkrest Kingdom were defeated and brought under control, the Demon King and thus Mundus Kanus would work on the next war, and fortify the next war.

So the fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, and eventually being destroyed, or even their ancestors, tired of the fighting and tired, are the Demon Kings, led by the Demon King Yaham. It's no longer a tricky war.

"The Demon King's dragons hold back whatever we do, but we can't afford to help you soon. Fortunately, we are so exhausted in medical care that we are much quicker to return to the battlefield for the injured, and we do our best to keep the dead out. It is an advantage, but it is a reality that you have not repeated the number of battles so far. ''

As such, Giorda conveyed the consensus of the dragons of the Mores Mountains, and commanders and lords of the aviation forces who fought with them provided their views on the damage and their airpower.

Unfortunately, in the skies, except for the dragon species, the Arcest Kingdom has to admit that it is inferior in technical and operational aspects, and everyone who opens his mouth is disappointed.

After all, the land, sky, and ordinary forces and skills are one or two steps ahead of the Arkrest Kingdom, the Romar Empire, and the Demon King, a sad or unwavering fact.

Nevertheless, conceivable measures come up one after another, and questions are repeatedly raised about their usefulness.

A fort-type golem and a barrier golem that I designed and mass-produced in the Baron Berne were placed on the front side, and this was an assault plan for the entire army as a head and shield that penetrated the Demon King's army.

Instead of aiming for the Demon Army's headquarters, head straight to the west, pinch the Demon King's army engaged with the Romal Empire and destroy it immediately, and then line up the remaining Demon Army with the Romar Empire on the battlefield I was secretly impressed that I would come up with a plan to attack, or just come up with it.

The variety of proposals that came out was a sign that this hand was abundant, but it is always the world's question whether it is worth implementing.

After all, the conclusions reached after the discussions and the proposals were exhausted were probably the ones in every corner of the head before the meeting.

*

At the end of the meeting that started before nightfall, when the darkness of the night was approaching and the sky was turning black and deep purple, I was in the Baronian territory-the commander inside the first fort-type golem "Berlem" In the room, he held secret meetings with leaders such as Chris, Diadora, Serina and Domina.

The darkness is driven out of the room by the light of magic lamps installed in the center of the room and high on the wall. We face-to-face around a large table with a map of the district of Mexes found in prior research.

Before entering the fort, he saw Vajje, but healed his wounds completely, devoured a large amount of food to replenish the heavily consumed health and magic, and healed completely in the morning. There will be. Good, good.

Now, the reason why these people were called is to tell a secret story that reached the end of the meeting. When I and Chris finished talking about their future actions, the first thing she spoke to was Serina, sitting on her lower half of a tuna.

"Is that Doran, Chris, Domina or Merle a surprise attack on the Demon King's headquarters?"

Yes, after all, this war is not a trained army. It is undeniable that the existence of an “individual” with extraordinarily strong power is the one that determines the outcome.

It would be natural for hopes to be placed on me, Merle, and Doramina, which are prominent “pieces” of the Arcrest kingdom. However, Chris's name is not a nomination from His Imperial Highness, but ...

Selina also seems suspicious of Chris's name being raised, and has a questionable color on her adorable face. Deirdre, who was directly involved in this project, was very active in reducing damage.

She moves her glossy lips while playing with her favorite smoke tube in her last battle with her right hand. Looking at me, did Chris say his selfishness anyway? I was asking. That's right, but it's easy to understand.

"Why does Chris's name come out there? I'm not the head of the Baron Berne at all. I wonder if he would give the order to throw it into the most dangerous battlefield without any traces? You haven't been cornered. ''

"The Highness didn't even mention Chris. It was me, Merle, and three of the Dominas who had beaten the high demons together. Chris joined ..."

I glanced at Chris and my baron's lord rebuilt my utmost dignity and confessed honestly.

"I've sold me to Highness Superior."

Chris, frankly speaking with a crisp face, had Serina prick her eyes and Diadora dropped her shoulders. Domina recalls the situation at that time, hiding his mouth with his left hand and laughing a little.

If Chris hadn't even wore an Agururua bracelet here, Serina and Diadora would have fallen into a state of unconsciousness on her dignified and beautiful face. Diadora distorts the shape of the eyebrows and asks the formal Lord.

"You say that again. If your parents know, you may be surprised."

"I didn't think it was, but it's an enemy with such a powerful person. As long as Doran is, he alone can afford, but Merle will be accompanied and Doran will need to be moderately adjusted. That's right, so we came to the conclusion that it is better to have as many people as possible, yes. "

Well, that's the way Chris understands himself, not very convincing. Everyone at this place understands Chris enough to know that.

"Well, that's a lot of forgiveness. If you're guilty, if you die before gaining momentum, you might be able to put the Baron's territory under royal territory or use it as a reward for lords like a cut pie. What's the matter, Domina? "

Asking the Queen, who is the most dependable of the night and moon for this kind of thing, she replied, excluding her secret laughter.

During the meeting, we did not share the memoirs and the view with the Doraminas, but it is easy to grasp the state of the meeting if you use natural sight or sacred artifacts. It was Diadora's question in anticipation of that.

"Neither His Imperial Highness or the owl who came next to him, and the other attendees, wouldn't have thought about it. It was, for better or worse, full of the war at hand.

However, it may be more surprising that Merle acknowledged Chris's accompaniment. ''

"Why did Merlin admit that Chris was allowed to accompany him, Domina?"

By the way, by this time, our women are increasingly calling each other by nickname or discard. Only Serina is continuing to add "san", but for Chris she has changed from "Christina" to "Chris".

"Besides, there was a precedent that Nernesia's parents were fighting at the forefront, and there is a measure in Bern to keep the dead. We've proved ourselves in the fight against the army? "

We have given Ariadne, an emergency transfer device, not only to our Baron soldiers, but also to Serina, who are participating in this battle. This magical tool greatly reduces the risk of Chris adding to the most dangerous attack on the Demon King's headquarters.

"Well, yes, that's right. I didn't have the opportunity to use it, so I forgot. I'll give it to Merle. If it's safe, it's not going to be overworked."

"That may be the case, but let's do it if it ends in the next."

Diadora smiled, as expected, to Doramina, who gave her unwavering confidence.

While Diadora smiles, Serina then mutters that she and I are your answering machine before opening.

"Speaking of which, did Mr. Meruru also talk about Domina?"

"Yes, if only a few elite raids on the raids, you should definitely join me, Merlus was enthusiastic, because you remembered that you did this after the festival. That's a recommendation for that. "

`` Because Merle was recommended not only to Doran but also to Domina, I was surprised by the people who attended whether Bern had the strength so far. ''

Chris tells her that she's sorry, but she's the same as Doramina.

"Chris and I would have surprised those who were there, presumed that I and Merle weren't short of skill."

Merlus has never made any direct arrangements with Chris, but Chris is allowed to accompany him, according to what I said following Dramina and his decision to remember Highland's battle with Abyss Dawn. Was.

Who was the one who muttered in the conference room that a small number of surprise attacks on the Demon King Army was like a fairy tale brave?

Chris, whose ancestor is not a demon but a hero who defeated the ancient dragon, and me, the dragon himself, felt as though I had been sarcastic from an unexpected point.

"I'm far from it. I rely heavily on Doradnaut. I'm proud that I can do it if I can get down with Mamoru."

In my opinion, without the help of Doradnaught, Chris would not lose to the high-end demons and the fighting doll, which was the trump card of Vengitta, against which Doramina was competing.

Lack of means of attacking wide areas and low maximum firepower is a problem in the assault group, but it will not be a problem because Dorado Note will also work.

"I understand why Chris was allowed to participate, but I guess, how specifically do you want to make a surprise attack? At random, you can spread the damage or assassinate the Demon King. I think there is. "

Selina's question is understandable. Since we are in the middle of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops with only four people, it is usually clearer than doing fire to see what would happen if we did so without any clear purpose.

However, this time, if you can go without any purpose, it is a safe face to talk about it, but if I am not there, it is a dangerous opponent even if it is a dramina or a merle. Chris responds to Selina, muttering one.

"The main objective is to assassinate the Demon King Yaham. Then destroy the six Demon Lords as much as possible. The aim is to reduce the number of" powers "with the outstanding power of the Demon King Army. I don't want to reduce it. ''

"Hmm, if the Demon King disappears, is it a goal setting aiming to disrupt the command chain?"

"No, it is our view that, given the interior of the Demon King's army, it is like a gathering of the armies led by each of the six Demon Lords, so confusion can only be expected for a short period of time. They are paying attention to the possibility that a battle for the next Demon King will occur among them.

Everyone acknowledged that it probably contained hopeful observations, but if it was possible to defeat the Demon King and reduce the ensuing powers, the Demon Army would return to the dark wilderness again and take the place of the next Demon King It was decided that it would move.

And if we do that, we can move not only to the Kingdom of the Arcest and the Romar Empire, but also to the west of the dark wilderness to build a siege for the Demon Army. ''

"Speaking of which, there is no specific diplomatic relations, but the investigation revealed that there was a country fighting the Demon Army."

"Oh, it's a pretty big nation with the god of wolves as the patron deity. It seems that the emperor and the demon king of that country were fighting against each other and ended in a painful split. Assuming cooperation with that country, reject the immediate invasion `` Next, it's a surprise attack to make time to fight back from here. ''

For the time being, Selina seemed convinced of the purpose of the surprise, but she seemed to be worried.

"Your opponent is a descendant of a war god, but will that surprise be successful?"

Chris's answer was straightforward.

"It won't work. We're going to be dealing with all six Demon Lords and the Demon King, including Meruru from the beginning.

We want to gain experience in fighting strong opponents, so I'll have Doran moderately, but if we fight all day and night, we will be settled. ''

"I can afford it. It feels like the greatest misfortune and worst failure of the Demon Kings against the Arkrest kingdom of this era."

"I agree with Serina's opinion. If I knew the country where the dragon was reborn, wouldn't it be the case that the assassin demons wouldn't have attacked me? Yes, and we can finally move together. "

Information on the movements of the Arkrest Kingdom and the Romar Empire is shared from time to time by me as Doran and me as Gwandan, but in other cases, both sides use cryptography created only for this war. Had been in contact with each other by magic communication.

Since there are multiple forces on the side of the Romal Empire that can cross the Demon Six, once the Romal Empire moves, the Demon King cannot be ignored. If the Mores dragons move, the fake dragons led by Masfellow will attack them first.

It was a common view of the Surprise Assemblies that the surprise attack would be executed on the premise that all six Demon Lords and the Demon King would be dealt with, but in fact it would not be possible to deal with all seven.

"When are you going to take action? Given Dramina, it would be most effective to launch a surprise in the middle of the night."

Chris answered that as it had already been decided.

"We'll set off tomorrow midnight. Despite the possibility of the Demon King's side moving cautiously due to the presence of Meruru, we will continue to fight as before and lower the army at dusk. After an hour's break, It sounds like a very strong march, but if we move, wouldn't it be? "

Chris, who gently meditates on her left eye, said that Serina wanted to deepen her sympathy for the Demon King's army.

"I now sympathize again that the members of the Demon Army have made the wrong fighting opponent."
