Vol 3 Chapter 79 (1/2)
Chapter 79
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 housesIt’s probably not an aust)
Saying you went to check it outThat’s quite dangerous
“You weren’t discovered?”(shi+n)
[Thanks to theNot only has the aic powerI 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 number…”(shi+n)
[Sorry](August)
“There no helping itEven 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 former imperial capital?
To destroy the buildings 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 tooFor the ti an eye on the situation froust)
“I seeYou should wait until we join up for this one”(shi+n)
[They were already given a strict orderThey 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 froust)
[Roger!](UM)
The end ga
We missed two chances alreadyFailure is not an option this timeWe have tothem!
And like Gus said, the soldier that exchanged 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)
“YesKurts reconnaissance unit confirmed itBecause it was confirmed by multiple people, it’s not a mistake”(Soldier)
“I-Isn’t his Highness Augusto 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 them yet…”(Ralph)
Portated yet
But why is he relieved they haven’t been suppressed?
“All right! Our destination changed as wellWhere is that city?”(Ralph)
“It’s there”(Why would you do this to yourself?)
The soldiers spreads a map of the former empire and points to the city
They have been advancing 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 EarlshydesBecause 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 forcesWe’re going to do it aloneBecause 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 achievement
Besides, this is not the end goal of the strategy 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 demons
After subjugating 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 themBut… They’ve suppressed devils in the pastDon’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 mistakeWhat with his attitudeI 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 commander)
The Els and 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 commander)
“Usually he’d never say so like that!”(Dahm deputy)
“I heard that tooSo 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 so and opened his mouth…
“Perhaps… The subjugation 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 about it
“During a world crisis… What do you think?”(Ys commander)
“Really… It’s deplorable”(Els commander)
Els and Ys seeree
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 from the city
“It’s been a while shi+n”(August)
“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 arrivedAfter that, only Alice and her group is left
“Freed yesterday, shi+n todayCorner 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 ultimatum?”(shi+n)
“…Because a devil having free will never happened before, I didn’t think of thatIs 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 commander)
The Els coarded the necessity of a surrender ultimatum
People froreed
They are the enemies of humanityCriminals who already committed indiscriminate murder
Well, I thought so too but there ht be someone who’d kick up a fuss because we didn’t send out a surrender ultimatum
Although 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
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
And even though they’ll most likely lose their lives, the eyes of allied forces soldier were burning with determination
And the Earlshyde army…
“Originally, all countries were supposed to gather hereBut waiting for all arust)
To let the other armies save face
I thought Gus would say so 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
“HeyIt’s been a while shi+n”(Galland)
“Oh, GallandLong time no see”(shi+n)
“You’re quite a guy after allForget being well known, you’re being touted as the saviour of this world”(Galland)
“N-noEveryone 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 a”(Galland)
Magical swordsman?
“Who is? The ical swordsman”(shi+n)
“Ha? Tony is also oneA swordsicHe made quite an impression on the Karnan allied forces”(Galland)
“Mhm”(shi+n)
Tony you hid this from me? I have to have a talk with him later
“Even so, don’t get nervousIt’s quite natural”(Galland)
“OhA devil is not that big of a dealI’m only worried I’ll let some escape”(shi+n)
“To say a devil is not that big of a deal…”(Galland)
Actually that’s right
We’ve beaten them twice now and they escaped, so this ti them escape
“I have faith in youWell then, do your best? Hero”(Galland)
“Yeahleave it to me”(shi+n)
When I said that, MrGalland went back to the Karnan troops
After joining we’re acting collectivelyAt the saed fro tent
There I took out a bed froe and set it up
“A bed for caust)
“I’ve got enough for everyone but if you don’t need one that’s fine Gus”(shi+n)
“A bed is best to get rid of fatigue after all”(August)
You sure change your mind quickly
Well, enough rest is absolutely necessary before the final battle with the devils
I would’ve given Gus the bed anyway, I’m not that malicious
“In any case, he said he brought beds… He also developedso he could to that while caust)
“We haven’t been doing that!”(shi+n)
“Is that so?”(August)
“Is that true?”(Tony)
“What about Mark and Olivia!? They’re a couple too!”(shi+n)
“That would be an insane thing to do”(August)
“I think so too!”(Mark)
This interaction continued for a while
If i had to say it, being together with Sicily would obviously be wonderfulNonetheless, having friends that are guys that you could talk to without holding back is also nice
I also went to the feive them beds
I also went to the feive them beds
After all they were quite tired, so they were jubilant
“shi+n, this bedding…”(Sicily)
“Oh, it’s from back home”(shi+n)
“Wow! I’lad!”(Sicily)
Sicily laughed delightfully
She did personally experience how grandma’s bed felt after all
“Is that true? That you didn’t use wool”(Maria)
“Yes, it is”(shi+n)
“Hmmm”(Maria)
Maria doesn’t seem to trust me
Sleeping on it just once is
After meals and a bath ere all so tired, ent to sleep immediately without much idle chit chat
When I woke up the next
“I have no memory of what happened after I went to bedI felt a sensation of being enveloped and before I knew it it was ust)
WoahThat’s high praise
By the way, it wasn’t only Gus but everyone else had the same reaction
What to do? If it’s so popular, should I add it as a product in my company?
Oh, but itstores
Then, should I sell the idea of one to a store that deals in beddings?
…Well, I’ll have to look into it after this matter is settled
While I was thinking about that, some of the Swedes forces joined us in the early afternoon
“Ah~… I’m tired…”(Yuri)
“Dizzy”(Alice)
“I wanna take a bath”(Rin)
They look very dizzy
I heard that they were running at a considerable pace since et here as soon as possibleIt seems like they were part of the force that subdued demons on the way
The exhausted Alice got herself ainto one of the beds
They woke up at night and asked for the bedding
In any case, the Ultiicians have arrived
The reconnaissance unit reported no devilto be tomorrow
The fate of the world is hanging on us
Fro around
“I slept through the day and can’t anymoreLet’s talk everybody”(Alice)
No goofing around!
Toainst the devils
The allied forces theht the devils, but if shi+n let’s one through, we must stop it even if it costs us our lives
Even if there were to be no response, the at
Meanwhile, several people gathered in front of the Dahm tent
“Director Porticians are starting their attack the day after tomorrow”(Dahm Soldier)
“Their titles aside, their abilities are the real dealIf this continues as is and they get all the achieve the devils, any request to withdraw their titles would be laughed off!”(Dahm Soldier)
“I know! Don’t get impatient!”(Ralph)
All the opponents of the Messenger of God and the Saint have gathered in Ralphs tent
To be of use in the e nuht now there were around 50 people which is close to the maximum capacity
They saw shi+ns power and half gave up on getting hiive up his title, but an opportunity appeared suddenly and unexpectedly
There are devils right in front of them now
Therefore he became aware of it
There is no better opportunity to prove the world doesn’t need to be saved by relying on theer of God is unnecessary, than to subjugate all the devils before shi+n and the others do
Ralph cal impatient
“ListenEven if we tried to approach that city right noe’d be found out by soo to bed ahead of tireat operation to be as ready as possibleIn other words there’s less people standing guardWait until then”(Ralph)
Ralph cal impatient
“ListenEven if we tried to approach that city right noe’d be found out by soo to bed ahead of tireat operation to be as ready as possibleIn other words there’s less people standing guardWait until then”(Ralph)
Because there’s still plenty of tiht
Therefore, Ralph told everyone to wait until to
Their eyes were a bit strange
The realization of their wishes is right in front of them
God created this opportunity for us
God helped us er of God
After all, he shouldn’t be called Messenger of God
We will show that
God says we should subjugate the devils
They interpreted this situation as such
And because of that interpretation, they were convinced they were the chosen ones, recognized by God
Fanaticism
It was exactly that which reflected in their eyes
However, there was so that didn’t occur to them in their fanaticism clouded minds
