1397 City of Pleasure, Part 232 - Battle of Tarram

"Your arm could have gotten in the way, Valand. You were gonna shoot three heads out at the same time, weren't you?

"Exactly, but it's a bet you stopped or not."

"If that's what you think, you don't have to place a bet here. This fight is half a play for him. That sounds stupid enough to risk your life.

Wake up, demon. That should be a lot of bullshit. "

"It was broken"

Cerberus rose up peeling. My left arm, which I received earlier with a Mercreed spear, was hanging around to see if my bones had broken, but as its arms wandered back. My eyes should have been crushed, but I was already playing it. The stabbed arrow is also pushed out naturally as the wound blocks.

As the knights marvel at the demons of the Demon King for the first time, Mercred is calm.

"His regenerative power is first-class. Perhaps even having your body amputated would be great for death."

"I'm only proud of Shizukusa. It's alive here that I've been caged."

"Hmm. It feels like a hot spring when you're in an anomaly cage."

"Then what? You want to fight until you kill us all with that bragging regeneration?

"No - what should I do?"

Cerberus showed a distressing bare gesture, but when he suddenly grabbed the oak that was around him, he threw it at Mercred. Mercury struck them out without bitterness, but Cerberus was running away in the gap. It is as fast as it is, or as a detachment.

Cerberus' escape was heard from afar as his surroundings became slightly clearer.

"I'll leave you around today."

"... what a comeback."

"It's ridiculous to chase you too. Prioritize the rescue of Tarram?

"Right. Although it seems good because we happened to be practicing near here, it wasn't officially requested otherwise by Tarram. The big guy apparently has someone knocking him around, and shouldn't he knock him out properly and ask Tarram's council to pay for it?

"... no, I'm going after him"

The other three captains were surprised by Mercred's words. The Demon King's neck would certainly be expensive if applied to the Alliance, but its value would drop before the arrangements came out. Because the Alliance will set that hand-grade forehead in the wake of this battle, so you won't make more money afterwards. Mercury seldom undertakes extra work that doesn't become money like a mercenary. Everyone also knows that they do not like strife. I didn't know that would offer a pursuit from me.

Mercreed speaks pale.

"It's a demon that should be kept alive. I'll kill you today at all costs."

"Come on, you and the candlesticks are noisy. Why are you so obsessed?

"You humans are a poor race, but you are sweeping the continent. As a race, I would say a champion. Can you see why a race that's also said to be below goblin if it's a bare-handed beating has expanded its territory so far?

"... what?

"Humans learn and grow. Make up for the shortcomings and explore new ways of fighting one after the other. And I won't forget my grudges. What is done is often passed down to descendants, and revenge is also done. That's hardly any other species.

But occasionally demons like humans appear. He's intelligent, he feeds on defeat. That demon is like that. The guy with as much power as the Demon King, running away without hesitation but trying to survive is the scariest. Yeah, it can grow to be the Great Demon King if left alone. We should kill him now. "

"It's as if you've ever seen a demon like that."

"... old time."

Merkleed did not elaborate, but gave the instructions quickly.

"Roxonoa, welcome to the support of Liano and Forlicia. Gort will continue to sweep here, and when Captain Ordine gets here, rendezvous and make sure he sweeps. Vanland is a perimeter sentry. Make sure the orcs aren't hiding anywhere else, around the street.

The Red Knights go after the orc earlier with me. Let's go! "

The knights moved in unison under the decree of Mercredo. The other captains blur at that time.

"Sometimes I think Merkleed's kind of like a captain in chief,"

"Oh, I really don't care. I don't care..."

"When Mercury genuinely skips instructions, it's often a bad time to fight. It's for your own good to hear what people say."

"I know... the Blue Knights would be better suited for pursuit, but they're kind of unintelligible."

Roxonoa blurred, but, as he was told, headed to cover the Purple Knights and the Green Knights.
