Chapter 167: Reunion

In the【De in front of the castle gates

Cruel’s 《Rank 1》Aquinas, 《Rank 2》Marione, 《Rank 4》Ornoth, 《Rank 5》Shublarz; the overseer of the country’s army, 《Head Commander of the Demon Army》Rushbelle, 《Demon Army – Captain of the Herbreed Corps》Herbreed, and《Demon Army – Captain of the Eonis Corps》Eonis

All of these fa soldiers were also sing nervously as they were encompassed by a sense of anxiety

Within all of this were Hiiro, Liliyn, Silva, Shamoe, Mikazuki, and Nikki

Today was the long-awaited day of their shoith the 『Gabranth』 In other words, it was a crossroad

If they lost this shon, the chances of the unable to live the sa to the 《Contract Roll》, it was agreed that the losing side’s people would not be needlessly killed Even so, everybody felt that as long as their country was being made to live under the opponent’s rule, they couldn’t possibly expect to have the sahts as they had up until now

That was exactly why the faces of the gathered soldiers and civilians, who had coe them, were currently stiff

In order to cheer up the people, the Maou Eveam, who had come later from the castle on her own, opened her mouth

“Everybody! Do not worry! We will definitely obtain victory! I will show you the peace that I shall grab with these hands!” (Eveam)

As she proclai from the faces of a few people here and there

“In addition, it is within our expectations for someone to take this chance to assault our country! That is ill be leaving our strongest warrior, Aquinas, here!” (Eveam)

At those words, each and every one of the nation’s people exhibited signs of bewilderment It seemed that they couldn’t understand the reason why she wouldn’t let the country’s strongest fighter, Aquinas, participate in this battle, even though defeat was absolutely not permitted

“Silence! In his place, we have our greatest benefactor! I’m sure everyone also knows of hireat achievements in the recent war, Hiiro Okamura!” (Eveam)

Everyone’s gazes all turned towards Hiiro at the same time The person in question had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, as if her announcement didn’t concern him

“His existence is the reason why our country suffered e from the battle! The monster clean-up, the defeat of Crouch, one of the 《Three Warriors》, and the destruction of the【 Mütich Bridge】 These are all feats that he le-handedly!” (Eveam)

The cheers of the people resounded, going “Oooooooohh!”

“It may be hard to believe, but he possesses power that is equal to that of Aquinas! That is so that Aquinas himself has admitted! That is exactly why Aquinas has entrusted him with the important duty to take his place in the duel!” (Eveam)

Shouts of joy once again caused the air to tremble

“That is why, please believe in us and wait! The next tirasped victory with these hands!” (Eveam)

Treround at regular intervals rang out It see everyone’s morale

Hiiro gri happily Then, she turned her face towards Aquinas

“Aquinas, in my absence, I leave the country to you” (Eveam)

“No probleo win this” (Aquinas)

“Yeah!” (Eveam)

Then, as Aquinas glanced towards Hiiro, as scowling in an annoyed manner, once more, Ornoth approached him

“I’ll leave the Princess……Her Majesty to you” (Aquinas)

“I’ll protect her even if it costs me my life” (Ornoth)

The two of theave a small nod

“Hiiro, do it” (Eveam)

Upon being told that by Eveah as he wrote the word, [Transfer] / 『転移』

“Hold on to each other’s bodies so that everybody is connected in some way” (Hiiro)

At Hiiro’s words, everyone except Aquinas began to touch the ones next to the connected was created

Not only the strongest individuals, but also the soldiers behind the each other’s bodies There were likely around 100 people in the entire group ere connected together They were connected in such a way that if electricity were to be run through Hiiro, it would flow through the entire group

“Let’s go” (Hiiro)

“Yeah! Everyone, wait for us!” (Eveam)

“Oooooooooooohhh!” (Evila)

Then, as Hiiro activated the word, the figures of 100 people disappeared all at once

“……It’s up to you now, Hiiro” (Aquinas)

Aquinas muttered as he returned to the castle

The place they arrived at upon teleporting was the location for the duel, 【Valaaru Wilds】 In front of everyone’s eyes lay a giant cavity

It was a crater with a radius of approximately 200 metres The duel would be held within it

When they looked towards the centre of the crater, they saw that the 『Gabranth』’s army had already taken up their positions

“Let’s go” (Eveam)

Eveahtened as she took the lead and descended into the crater

“How adentlemen of the 『Evila』!” (Leowald)

The one who spoke was the king of the 【Beast Near hiest warriors【Passion】boasted of

However, afterhis eyes around restlessly, Leowald posed a question towards Eveam

“Red Robe……What happened to Hiiro Okamura?” (Leowald)

“Uu…about that……” (Eveam)

Evea difficult to say

“He said that doing sos was troublesome and that he’d ‘wait here’, so he’s over there……” (Eveam)

She then pointed her finger towards the place they had teleported to Hiiro’s figure could be seen standing there

“Sorry for his lack of courtesy” (Eveam)

Eveaized for Hiiro’s behaviour, as he had, for the ti, become her subordinate However, Leowald simply said-

“Gahahahaha! He’s an interesting fellow after all, that Hiiro! For him to be selfish even in a situation like this! Gahaha!” (Leowald)

As he said that, nu towards Hiiro

“Don’t tell me it’s a surprise attack!? You bastards!” (Marione)

Marione shot a bloodthirsty gaze towards Leowald, but surprisingly, the one who stopped him was Eveam

“Stop it, Marione” (Eveam)

“Bu-but they were planning a surprise attack!” (Marione)

“No, that’s not a surprise attack” (Eveam)

“………Hah?” (Marione)
