Chapter 159: The Defensive Battle of the Capital

Captain of the Armored Corps of the Ordin Corp Calgurio did not hide his dissatisfaction over the fact that contact was cut off.

Goods and money were also needed, but above all, large quantities of high-quality "Monster Cores" would likely be needed from this point on.

Because it was at a rate where it was never enough, he looked happily at the sight of them being brought out of the basement.

However, with 350,000 sent, sending in more soldiers would be very bad. Even when danger was expected, the sudden contact was unexpected.

If there is a threat ――i. e. Veldora―― verified, a means for frontline groups to contact all personnel through related contacts has been prepared.

But the result, as shown.

The entrance of the basement was still wide open, yet there was no sign of anyone.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Calgurio muttered, but his advisers could not answer.

Meanwhile, the,

“The Underground Jail is a place to explore.

It wasn't meant to be attacked by troops, was it? ”

Saying bewitching beauty to Calgurio.

Dressed in the uniform of the Empire's Armored Empire, one of Cerberus' bosses, Miranda.

After receiving a secret order from Yuuki, he had to watch over Calgurio's actions while observing the situation of the Tempest Invasion.

However, his position as an adviser to the headquarters of the Empire's Armored Corps was the truth.

With appropriate abilities, he served as one of Calgurio's advisers.

"Did little boy Yuuki say that?"

"Yes .

The person said, if you want to capture the dungeon, you should send only elites. ”

“Kony! I did send an elite !! ”

Calgurio gave an unpleasant answer after hearing his words.

Correction, proud as the empire's strongest corps, 350,000 elite Armored Remodeled had been dispatched. Looking for more than this would only be a prideful hope.

“However, after taking everything, the dungeon still stands.

Since we were unable to explore the situation inside, sending reinforcements was a difficult matter.

All we can do now, is wait for the victim to come out, right? ”

“Tenace. Bracelets with a resurrection effect have been given to powerful individuals.

According to reports, when they die they will come back to life outside the dungeon no.

Since no one had appeared, it meant that the subterranean conquest had succeeded so far. ”

"Unless ... are we not entirely sure the resurrection effect of the bracelet really works?

The person said, since the bracelets were made with skills, they cannot be imitated ”

It silences Calgurio.

The captain of the corps was not chosen solely on the basis of strength. Even if you cannot become one without strength, if one is unable to understand the current situation, they are not suitable for the role.

Miranda's words contained the truth; the effect of the resurrection was an unknown factor.

But, a structure that could not be destroyed even with 350,000 elites was unthinkable.

Militant forces that could burn some major cities to ashes, they could definitely be called an unreasonable force with confidence.

Worse case scenario, they could destroy the basement and avoid it.

200,000 troops headed for the Tempest Capital, and the number of remaining troops numbered 150,000.

One could say they still had 150,000 soldiers, but it should be considered to have 150,000 soldiers left.

Now that everything had reached this stage, Calgurio thought maybe they had underestimated the tempest.

Gathering an army, and focusing entirely on bringing down the tempest capital would be the best course of action.

Calgurio got lost, then, then,

"Leave a few communication squads here, we will strengthen the power of the tempest capital-attack!

And then contact the underground capture team, and set the search— team ”

He had no chance to complete his sentence.

The situation begins to show a change, when the incoming bird has swallowed Calgurio and his companion.

Fighting on various fronts would be their curse.

When the Imperial army finished storming into the dungeon, their capital war on the other hand did not develop at all.

Just a few kilometers away from their current point, it was only a stone's throw.

They spent one day to set up the headquarters, and only sent a scout team to scout around the capital.

Towards the Imperial army, Gerudo laughed mockingly.

No matter how much they lurked, it was meaningless as no ambushes were carried out.

Since they were too close to the capital to deploy traps, this time it would be a head-on collision.

They are very unlucky in terms of numbers.

However, Gerudo's role was to buy time, to defend the capital's defensive front line.

The most battle tactics the Dwarf King mastered, to launch powerful magic behind the protective forces that formed the wall

For Gerudo, this is a clean and simple strategy.

And the one who launched the powerful magic spell, was Kurenai.

Those, who are the personal guards of Benimaru will be the cornerstone of this battle. Moreover, there was the enforcement of the existence of the high-ranking Great Jura forest, Youjutsu's army of 5,000.

They could have gathered more, but this time there was a focus on those with high attack power.

The rest will be prepared just in case when the gerudo falls, for the final match.

Currently, they were formed by an army of human volunteers, and currently had to be assigned in groups.

The squadron of 5,000 Youjutsu users is led by Benimaru's self-proclaimed partner, Momiji the tengu.

"For my Husband-sama, Victory !!"

He refreshed the masses warmly.

It seemed like the obstacle had already been eliminated, and now this had already become a reality.

At the stage of strategizing, it seems that Momiji is above Benimaru, Gerudo thought, although the person in question might suddenly not hate this.

If he really didn't like it, he would have handled it a long time ago.

If it wasn't that, the title "Supreme Commander" would cry.

The backline support is perfect, our means of attack are ready.

After that, the Empire's army and our own troops, whether their barrier is stronger and how to defend themselves from their magic attacks, this will be the deciding factor of this battle.

That would happen.

In this battle, there is Shion under Gerudo's supervision, and he declares that he will take independent action.

Doing as they please, this is usually considered an outrageous act.

But, if they want to compensate for the very unfavorable status quo of a lesser amount, wild cards like Shion might work.

And Benimaru commanded, and,

"Just leave him alone, he might have something in mind.

At that moment, when the enemy is thrown into chaos, aim and attack! ”

He said .

Gerudo's task now is to become an absolute wall that no enemy troops can pass through.

They will put their whole hearts to survive, and soon Shion will cause chaos in the midst of the enemy forces. When the opportunity arises they focus entirely on full firepower.

Simple and straight.

Since Gerudo believed in Benimaru, he would fulfill his duty without hesitation.

so, after a 24-hour standoff, the battle began.

Gerudo's defense is impenetrable.

The imperial army was unable to destroy the combined strength of the 17,000 high orcs of the yellow corps (yellow number) and orange corps (orange number)

The portable magic cannon is canceled by Gerudo's unique "guardian" skill, as it provides his entire army with an iron-clad defense.

In addition, With his unique skills 『Gourment』 allows the items in his stomach to be shared among everyone in the corps.

Rather than just for this war, a large amount of recovery potions would always be stored in 『next』 in case of an emergency situation.

Damage never happens, so through the effect of 『stomach』 Subordinate Gerudo can remove the herb at any time.

Considering this from the point of view of military logistics, troops that can heal the wounded on the spot without moving away have become the second trustworthy defensive wall after the impenetrable wall.

Above the second corps led by Gerudo, someone floated in the sky facing them below.

It was Carrera.

This demon (Devil King), along with 2 attendees were assigned to the second corps as military intelligence officers.

As a soldier, Gerudo happily accepted the girls, and told them to act as they wished.

In reality, with Gerudo fully focused on the role of the wall, there was nothing Carrera could do.

Carrera has received a secret order from Rimuru, to protect Gerudo.

Most likely, Testarossa and Ultima also received the same order, because among the imperial troops there were some that were so powerful that even the executives could not handle them, either, and delaying time by becoming their enemy was their role.

But everything is different now.

The reason is, Go all out! This was a command that heaven sent from their master, Rimuru, who was the most beloved.

Yet they also understood if they overdone he would be unhappy, as seen from Ul and Testa.

Not to overdo it, but go out.

In conclusion, Carrera decided to unleash nuclear attack magic from the sky.

“A ~ wait a minute! Carrera the same, what are you planning now? ”

His vice-officer demon bow Agera frantically stopped him.

His sensitivity to signs allowed him to read Carrera's actions, a skill honed over a long span of time, a genius who had experienced many lives.

"Oh yeah? Agera, something wrong?

I was just thinking of starting a nuclear explosion in the air, and roasting the ground with excess heat?

How about that? I've been pondering this, you know?

I did not attack them directly, and will resist perfectly! ”

“Excellent, this is perfect! As expected of Carrera Sama !! ”

"Good 'Once 'Bout 'Bout！ Silence yourself!

…… Are you sure Carrera is the same. I can't believe this is really holding back. ”

“What ....... what did you say? ”

The one who had a lot of experience of Agera's life, after silencing Esprit's irresponsible flattery, politely explained as if to a child.

Carrera, his boss, has a personality like a car that runs away without brakes.

It will be hard work to calm him down.

His strength was immense, and it was just as difficult to manage.

His partner Esprit who was supposed to carry the burden with him was just a useless vagrant who had just followed Carrera around.

As a result, it is made to shoulder all the burdens, making this a less desirable work environment.

He may barely be able to manage the evil Testarossa but has reason and Ultima who is holding back but just exaggerating it.

However, Carrera who always goes out is not good.

Agera had no mentality to watch over him, and laughed at him beside him.

No, so far it'll be fine.

And worldly wise Agera politely explained to Carrera ―― Carrera is someone who easily gets bored with long explanations, so the explanation remains short. It was a difficult task ―― but when it was done.

Suddenly, abnormal changes occurred in the front lines of the enemy.

Leading Yomigaeri, Shion and his personal subordinates had started to make a move.

Their number is 10,000.

Personally trained by Shion himself, in short the Yomigaeri are an army made up of his fans.

Their numbers were not high, but from what Carrera had observed from the sky, they had extremely high combat prowess.

Due to Shion's unique skills, all Yomigaeri members are clad in 『Haki』 Terror.

10,000 soldiers turned into Knights of Terror as they struck the imperial army.

Inciting fear into the hearts of enemies, destroying their war spirit.

Sealing the enemy's own abilities while one side unleashed uncontrollable violence onto them, the effect was incredible.

Wearing a bluish-purple armor made by the elder brother of Garm's three dwarves himself, Shion's personal army dominated the battlefield.

There were 3 giants that emitted a ridiculous amount of demonic aura as they rampaged. They were the 3 sons of the demon king Dagruel.

The three also donned in Terror Haki 』have been incarnations of violence literally when they went berserk.

they were like 3 vortexes in the middle of the battlefield, slashing down the imperial army like weeds.

Excluding the 3 giants, each individual from Shion's personal army displayed an incredible level of magic power and essence.

He did not know what kind of training they were going through, but even from the demon Agera's point of view still felt a threatening feeling.

“Hei, Agera.

While we're here listening to your boring story, it looks like Shion has stolen a march on us huh? ”

Agera was worried.

Considering Carrera's lack from the start, it would become even more explosive when she was angry.

Furthermore, if Carrera's target of anger was him, he could have given up on the idea of staying alive.

“Carrera same! There are some standingby troops still intact in the rear line! Isn't that enough? ”

Espirit was like, 'Thank God, idiot!' . His gaze seemed to convey this message while his finger pointed elsewhere.

And there, there was an army of 200,000 soldiers facing the capital, on standby in their camp.

Carrera nodded and smiled, though,

"Ooh, there is! Isn't that neat, let's dig! ”

He nodded with a satisfied expression.

The Agera didn't try to stop him again.

If his boss goes berserk and gets a reprimand, he'll come up with something.

Because right now the most important thing is to make sure he's not upset with her.

The difficulties of the wise Agera in the world have just begun.

Thus, the second army camped in the camp ready to attack the capital was destroyed by an attack from above.

Their permanent barrier is undone by their own creation as a magical canceler, and is struck by a large-scale destruction magic bombardment.

Agera and Esprit each work to disable different types of obstructions.

Soon after, Carrera aimed for the right time and begged for her magic.

A kind of nuclear attack magic, "Gravity collapse".

Suddenly, the force of gravity surged drastically, the soldiers could not hold their own weight and were crushed by it.

setting up camp in a wide open space, was the exact reason why they could not escape the eyes of the demons.

If the force of gravity was too strong, the super dense gravity would explode and cause a huge explosion, but this time Carrera held back a little.

He hesitantly accepted Agera's advice and drew his punch.

And the explosion didn't happen, most of those who couldn't help it died, and the magic disappeared.

Even so, for these soldiers there were no light losses.

Carrera was satisfied with this one attack, and ordered a retreat.

He returned to support Gerudo.

And now all that was left was for the Imperial army to do a crushing blow.

However, for them this was luck, because it happened so quickly that they did not have time to feel terror or regret when they went to the afterlife.

Conversely, those who lived, buried under a mountain of bodies had fear encroach their very souls, created a distrust toward the empire, and amid all this could only lament about their own stupidity .

And so, this battle near the capital's vicinity had developed into a one-sided trampling by Shion, while their reinforcement were crushed by Carrera .

And, Gerudo's wall had hardly fallen at all, as they pushed back the empire's army without losing any ground .

The Tempest Capital defensive battle was a complete victory .

With the Capital defensive battle over, the war situation had shifted to cleaning up the last of the empire's forces .
