Chapter 81 (1/2)
The Final Phase… Or at least it was supposed to be
“Is it true that they found devils?”(shi+n)
Gus was presented with shocking news in one of the daily reports that devils were found
We were ai for the imperial capital, which we believed to be the devils base, but Kurt reconnaissance forces discovered a city where the devils gathered
“What are the odds of it being a trap?”(shi+n)
[I went to check it out, but it wasn’t a large city and the devils were distracted by destroying houses It’s probably not an a you went to check it out That’s quite dangerous
“You weren’t discovered?”(shi+n)
[Thanks to theNot only has the aic power I also used the ust)
“That’s good but… So? Was Stromm with them?”(shi+n)
[I couldn’t search the whole city… I ical powers in the city…](August)
“Because they moved around you couldn’t tell the exact nuust)
“There no helping it Even if I know there’s no possibility of an ambush I’m still uneasy about this…”(shi+n)
Still, ould they gather in a provincial town rather than in the fors to pass the time on top of that… Are they frustrated their two attacks failed?
Is it a crude surprise attack?
It’s strange if you just sit there being frustrated after failed raids and not planning the next one
“Soe…”(shi+n)
[Oh, I think so too For the ti an eye on the situation froust)
“I see You should wait until we join up for this one”(shi+n)
[They were already given a strict order They can’t handle the devils alone so they should leave theust)
It’s impossible for us to face dozens of devils until all of us are gathered together
[There’s gonna be a report froer!](UM)
The end ga
We missed two chances already Failure is not an option this time We have totheed information between all allied forces reported it to the leaders of Els, Ys and the Dahm commander, Ralph Portman
There are already three of us there
“What!? The devils base have been discovered!?”(Ralph)
“Yes Kurts reconnaissance unit confirmed it Because it was confirmed by multiple people, it’s not a usto with the Kurt forces? He didn’t subjugate them?”(Ralph)
“He is, but because there’s so h, and so he’s waiting until the Ultiather”(Soldier)
“Really… He hasn’t subjugated theh of relief that the devils weren’t subjugated yet
But why is he relieved they haven’t been suppressed?
“All right! Our destination changed as well Where is that city?”(Ralph)
“It’s there”(Why would you do this to yourself?)
The soldiers spreads a map of the former e through the demon territory for several days now
Because they all marched to the same destination, the forces are positioned not that far apart from each other
They could join with them in 2-3 days
“The problem is the army most far off is Earlshydes Because they don’t have any Ulti on the situation, the battle ht start before we arrive there”(Ralph)
Certainly the Earlshyde army is far away
However they’re not responsible for the suppression of Devils
Even though they can take down a disaster class they wont participate
“Not only does the Earlshyde army want to avoid a confrontation with the devils, but so do all the allied forces We’re going to do it alone Because we’re going to arrive before the battle starts”(Ralph)
“…Didn’t they say you cannot subjugate a devil by yourself?”
For some reason that was a bit of a prickly subject
One would think the sheer nuated by each allied force in the past few days would be enough of an achievey itself
When the devils are gone the land will be distributed to each country
In that case, a lot of people will live here so it’s necessary to greatly thin out the de the devils, the demons will need to be mopped up
Even if you don’t participate in the devil subjugation no one would complain
“It was said by the Swedes correspondence that they can’t iine the countries troops can deal with them But… They’ve suppressed devils in the past Don’t you think this strategy was drawn up and approved based on that?”(Els commander)
After he said that, coant” and a glare of hatred
“What? I… Did I say so bad?”(Ys commander)
“No, I made a mistake What with his attitude I don’t like it”(Els commander)
“Is that really the attitude a countries co of Portman, wasn’t he supposed to be an honest person with a fair character?It’s eion”(Ys co their concerns
It would seem like it
Because an allied force commander suddenly blew up at them
It was all so sudden and he couldn’t react, because even in his wildest dreams, he didn’t think he’d flare up like that
“There is no excuse for that! I apologize for the rude behaviour of our commander!”(Dahm deputy)
The deputies of the Dahm army hurriedly lowered their heads
“Why does your commander act like that?”(Els co like that!”(Dahm deputy)
“I heard that too So what happened to him just now?”(Ys commander)
When pressed for an answer by the Ys commander, the Dahm deputy had to think of an answer
And finally he thought of soation of a devil is still a ht be frustrated that the Ulti it…”(Dahm deputy)
…That was it
They wondered why he was relieved when he heard the devils weren’t subjugated yet
But, it’s harder to think of a reason as to why he would be so violent towards them
His subordinates also wondered if they should say so a world crisis… What do you think?”(Ys commander)
“Really… It’s deplorable”(Els coree
With such aed their route to the iathered and the Kurt forces camped
They arrived at a hilly area, located close by but it’s invisible froust)
“We hear each other every day so it doesn’t feel like it”(shi+n)
In a couple of days I joined up with Gus
Tony’s group already arrived After that, only Alice and her group is left
“Freed yesterday, shi+n today Corner will probably show up toue we’ll rest for a day and attack after that”(August)
“Now that you mention it, should we send them a surrender ulti free will never happened before, I didn’t think of that Is it required?”(August)
I wonder
Should we ask people from other countries?
“There is no need! They are enemies of mankind! They are a threat! They must not be allowed to run free!”(Ys commander)
Ys is adamantly opposed
“Is it required? In the first place, haven’t theythe surprise attack on Swedes? Even if they weren’t devils, they’ve still committed crimes before”(Els coarded the necessity of a surrender ultireed
They are the enemies of humanity Criminals who already coht so too but there ht be someone who’d kick up a fuss because we didn’t send out a surrender ultih they’re now devils, they used to be huiven them a surrender ultimatum
Well, before the allied forces of Swedes arrived, a rough strategy was decided upon
Surround the city with the 12 of us
Synchronize the attack ireless coic all at once
After the sweep, we close off the exit routes and drive the devils into the center of the city where we’ll create a killzone
…Although it’s a rough strategy for only 12 people but we should probably be fine
As for the Alliance forces, they will surround the city and prevent the escape of any devil that h they’ll most likely lose their lives, the eyes of allied forces soldier were burning with deterinally, all countries were supposed to gather here But waiting for all arust)
To let the other ar like that
“Besides, It’s also i to be circling around”(August)
The Earlshyde army wouldn’t make it in tiate demons
Once the operation is over, the rest will join up with Swedes
Everybody was ordered to rest after a series of battles
While the allied forces arled, a certain man appeared before us
“Hey It’s been a while shi+n”(Galland)
“Oh, Galland Long tiuy after all Forget being well known, you’re being touted as the saviour of this world”(Galland)
“N-no Everyone is just over exaggerating”(shi+n)
“If you’re that modest won’t it be mistaken for sarcasm?Be careful”(Galland)
“Huh… Sorry about that”(shi+n)
“Indeed, that sters these days sure are aical swordsical swordsman”(shi+n)
“Ha? Tony is also one A swordsic He made quite an impression on the Karnan allied forces”(Galland)
“Mhm”(shi+n)
