Konjiki no Moji Tsukai - Chapter 308

Chapter 308 The War for Edea Begins (1/2)

 
 

   
 

 
 

 
On the 【Bridge of Dohas】 connecting the Beastmen continent to the Humas continent.

 
And on the 【Bridge of Mutich】connecting the Demon Continent and the Humas Continent

 
The forces of Humas, Beastmen and Demons forming the 《Miracle》army stood against the army of Victorias led by Avoros silently acknowledging the corresponding arms existence.

 

   
The two bridges in the past had different distances with Eveam ordering the destruction of the『Geldurut Bridge』having significant differences in distance, along the distance was not too long.

 
Right now the most important thing was for the army on the bridge to see which one can invade the opponents territory quickly to obtain an advantageous position.

   

 
The two of them could not hand this over that easily.

   
This was the important first attack.

 
The side which wins the first attack gains more morale which in returns gain more fighting spirit.

 

 
That was why, the war potential was very highly concentrated here.

 
Each person was a trusted person who had gained the commanders trust.

   

 
On the Miracle army side on the 『Bridge of Dohas』was the unit of『 Beastmen army number three』led by 『Crouch of Gabrant』, and to assist there was the units of『Demon Evila』Ionis Corps and halvrid Crops along with Ionis and Halvrid

   

 
And on the 『Bridge of Mutich』 was 『Demon Army Commander』Rushbelle and 『Cruel Rank Five』Shublarz and their army where protecting the bridge.

 

   
On the enemy side on the 『Bridge of Dohas』was the army unit led by Kainaby and Bijohhny.

 
On the 『bridge of Mutich』, was the army unit led by Iraora and Abissu who were both spear heading and blocking the opponent.

 

   
There were a total of Four Black pattern clothes wearers which was verified on the two bridges, but there were also some ones with black clothes who were leading their own respective smaller units.

 

 
And the soldiers led by them looked like dolls that had no signs of life.

 
They were wearing armor but the pale skin with no blood coloration, and pupils where no light could be seen.

 

 
According to the investigation reports, they were the dead soldiers of the previous wars who had be resurrected by avoros.

   
Which was to say, that they were zombie soldiers who felt no pain.

   

 
「Nyhahah, what is this nya, this side is also completely zombies nya!」

 

 
On the bridge that Crouch was defending from under his feet a large amount of monsters started to flood from crouch’s shadow.

   

The monsters were already dead, these were zombies created by Yuhito who was the pride of the 『Beast Country Passion』.

 

   
Since they knew that the other side would use Zombie soldiers, Coruch had gathered many monsters for this war.

   
And Yuhito modified them into zombies.

 

 
And about the surprise attack from the sky and the sea which were planned beforehand, the other side had gained the information as well and had correspondingly made ample preparations.

 

 
To intercept the attack from the sky using the Flying horse Carriage the other side had made preparations such as probably employing 『Demon Evila』who were dead and had wings.

 
In addition, the miracle army did not have that many numbers through this route and they thought that the other side would be able to defend much securely unlike the attack from the sky and hence making the surprise attack more difficult.

 

 
The respective lords had also agreed that they should concentrate first on the bridge strategy as the frontal attack. 

 

 
「Crouch-dono, the signal to sortie should be given anytime now.

 
As planned, shall we first use the monsters as the vanguard to assault while using the troops to attack from the rear?」

 

 
A unit leader of the Halvrid was confirming the strategy with Crouch.

 
The current crouch figure was the same as the one he had when he had met hiiro which was the figure of a Black panther personified.

 
This was because the beast king had said that in war there was no diginity in shiroop?

 

   
「Leave it to me nyaa.

 
This bridge, we shall definitely take it nyaa」

 
 

 
「It is encouraging~desu.

 
Eonis, how is the preparations on you’re side?」

 
 

 
「All good~nano」

 

 
A soldier came alone with a message there, after delivering the information, the face of three tightened

Chapter 308 The war for Edea Begins (part 2 of 2)

 
 

 
 

 
 

  
 

    
On the 『Bridge of Mutich』the soldier morale had been increasing.

 
Unlike the 『Bridge of Dohas』the unit here was completely composed of the 『Demon Evila』led by the commander of Demon Evila and 『Cruel』, they did not feel for one moment that their army would lag behind the opponents army at all.

  

 

「Shublarz-sama, are we really going to use them?」

  

    
Rushbelle asked shublarz doubtfully from within shublarz unit while looking at her line of sight.

 
And within that sight, there were to existences that they were looking at.

 

 
「Ara~, right now it is friends yo~~」

  
 

 
「That is so, but certainly they are heroes.They could possible betray you know」

 

  
Rushbelle was more concerned about their possible betrayal.

  
For the past several months, they had received various informations from the Demon lord while the girls were living at the demon castle.

    
Rushbelle was wary that they had been sending information to the other side.

 

 
But shublarz shook her head with a smile.

 

  
「It will be fi~ne.Those girls are now my subordinates.And putting my trust in them, i let them become the Divison captain, and so~」

    

  
But just a simply reason would not illicit trust, if an order is passed to a captain, it shall be passed to a subordinate below.

    
Giving a position within their own men, there were also a possibility they could act selfishly when there was a situation.

 

    
It was Marione who thought about this, but shublarz said that those girls were strongly aware of the responsibilities and were prepared to the things that were told to do.

 

 
When they were told that they were going to be provided with the position of a division captain, Shuri and shinobu had their eyes almost popping out, but they immediately answered that they would do everything they could with the power provided to them.

 
There was no wavering determination in their eyes.

  

    
「…….If by chance those girls if they screw up……what to do then?」

 
 

  
「When that times comes………i will personally take responsibility」

  

    
shublarz turn with a smile and conveys to rushbelle that those were serious words.

  

  
「……i hope that it does not come to pass.you have my permission」

 
 

 
「N~n, it’s fine~yo.Thinking for the sake of every demons~, Thank you Rushbelle」

 
 

    
「It’s fine, then i think it’s almost time for the signal to arrive」

  

    
Rushbelle headed towards his own unit after bowing his head cleanly.

 

 
「Fufu~, As usual you’re too honest a~~」

    

  
Shublarz unconsciously gave a smile and then headed towards shuri and shinobu.

 

 
「Yaho~ yo two……..are you two prepared~」

 

 
Looking at the two people, she could feel the ambition and also the tension in the air, and then shublarz said so.

  

 
「Wa, Yes.As Commander Shublarz said we have prepared as discussed and have made it to the front line.that is why we shall be sure to uphold the trust you placed on us」

    
 

  
「fufu~relax a little shuri, See~ you’re shoulders are completely stiff~」

    
 

  
「Come to think of it Shuri~chi, you can’t give you’re all if you’re to stiff」

    

 
While saying so shinobu floats a smile which soon turns a little pale.

    
Although you could see that she was trying to show courage, shinobu was rather trying to instill more courage into herself to freshen up.

 

    
「Good you two, i know that you want to help the other heroes. But first priority is the life of your subordinates and you’re own.

    
If something were to happen to any of you, both the demon lord and I would be sad」

 
 

 
「「Commander…….」」

    

 
The two of them were deeply moved and harmonized together quite well.

  

    
「fufu, if the information about the hero were to come along, then you shall be the preferential ones for the information.But still, even if you were to get the information you cannot act unreasonably before or after~」

  
 

    
「「Yes!」」

 

  
Shublarz nods in satisfaction listening to their reply.

 

 
「Ok then, it’s almost time before we head out~, prepare yourselves~」

  

    

As Shuri and shinobu return their answers again, they hurried to their respective troops.

    

    
Demon castle of the『Demon country Xaos』

 
The Demon lord Eveam was thinking that the army must have started their advancement.

 

 
「Ok, ok, ok, it’s finally starting」(TL:Demon lord is pacing)

  
 

    
「If we were to lose this, then the world become a place where anyone who goes against him will be immediately killed. There are no compromises in this war. Whether one wins or loses, it is a war where it is either kill or be killed」

 

    
Next to Eveam was Aqunias who was the 『Rank One 』of the 『Cruel』.

 

  
「Kill or…….be killed…….ha」

    
 

  
「That’s right. Everything is prepared……are you done?」

  

 
The two looked at each other, and silence continued for a while.

    

    

  

  
「I can obviously not be prepared for this at all! But I will make sure to get an absolute victory in this war!」

 
 

    
「………….Do not falter princess」

  
 

 
「I am not the princess anymore! I am the DEMON LORD!」

 
 

  
「……..fu, That is indeed correct.Then I shall send the signal now.It’s almost time」

 

  
After giving a nod to Aquinas, Eveam reaches for the sky with her hands.

  
And then closes her eyes and stayed so for a while, then she slowly raised her eyelids.

  

    
「BEGIN THE ATTACK!」

  

  
A crimson lotus was fired into the sky.

 
It rises straight into the sky and when it reaches the highest point, it suddenly produces a tremendous sound and luminescence.

    

 
At that moment, a shout that resounded that shook the very atmosphere of the every continent.

 
The WAR had begun in earnest.
