Volume 12, Chapter 4: The Royal Capital Going Up in Flames - Part 1
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
A few days passed──
That night, Diablo lied down in bed.
What was prepared for him in the Inner Court was a single room. Even if there was a married couple, men and women were not allowed to sleep together in the chapel.
──Of course it would be like that.
Since it was a rule that he could only agree with, he didn’t have any dissatisfaction with it.
Living in the Inner Court was simplicity and frugality itself, and since there weren’t any candles or candlesticks in the room, only the moonlight could be relied on when the sun went down.
Other than the area close to the window, it was pitch dark.
When he gazed at the ceiling that was pitch black whether his eyes were opened or closed, he felt the delusion that his eyes were closed even when they were open.
「……」
In his initial plans, they planned to join up with Sylvie and Horun, and immediately head to Faltra City.
But then they heard that the Eastern Fortress City Kenston had been capitulated by the Gelmedo Empire.
──A major city of the Lifelia Kingdom fell?
That sort of event didn’t happen in the MMORPG Cross Reverie. The Gelmedo Empire was the nation in SLG Girls Arms after all.
That being said, he wasn’t within the game, but in reality, even if it was another world.
If there are countries, then it isn’t strange even if wars were to happen.
It wouldn’t be a problem if the Lifelia Kingdom wins.
Everything would be the same as before.
Diablo’s group would end up running away as fugitives, but the royal capital would be safe.
However, what if they lose?
Would it be fine to leave Lumachina and the others who lived in the royal capital?
Priest Lilitana, who had taken care of them, said that she would remain in the royal capital until the war settled down. As for the Magic Academy, he had acquaintances other than Horun there.
It seemed that Alicia didn’t have any intention of leaving the royal capital either. She had duties as a State Knight, and she was the daughter of a Duke House.
──Above all, I think that the Lifelia Kingdom Army will lose.
Magimatic Sols were introduced in SLG Girls Arms.
What appeared from behind Rose were only gigantic arms and weapons, but they were something with a setting similar to those.
In the game, a maximum of twelve Magimatic Sols could be used──the equipment could be chosen, they could be organized, and they could be made to sortie.
Once they were on the battle screen, a 《Cost》 that would increase as time passed would be consumed, and the Magimatic Sols would be deployed on the map.
There was a limit to the number of suits that could be sortied depending on the map but……
Most likely, in this other world, that sort of limit probably didn’t exist. If things went badly, there was the possibility that several Magimatic Sols would come attacking in swarms.
The Lifelia Kingdom had the Royal Palace Chivalric Order.
They are strong.
However, they probably won’t be a match for them.
──There’s no way that knights from a fantasy world view could win against robots from an SF world view.
What about his own case? For example, when he imagined fighting against Rose……
Her mobility was low, and since she only possessed close quarters weapons, he should be able to do something about her.
However, if the Magimatic Sols of Girls Arms had shooting weapons equipped, they could become long distance types.
Organizing groups to have both close distance and long distance fighters was the standard way of doing things.
Thinking about things in MMORPG Cross Reverie, Chemical Elemental Magicians had bad affinity with Magi Gunners.
In short, Diablo had a bad affinity with Magimatic Sols (long distance types).
「Uheeh……I don’t want to fight against them.」
Moreover, the opponents were manned machines.
There were operators riding within them.
──No matter where they’re from, I don’t want to have a death match with people.
If he had a personality that would take the initiative to stand up against troublesome or difficult things, he wouldn’t have become a shut-in Gamer in his original world.
Diablo stopped his train of thought.
Right now, it was useless to think about this and that.
This body, which had completely gotten used to a healthy lifestyle, would become sleepy at the same time as the sunset.
*Don don!*
There was the sound of the door being struck.
Diablo opened his eyes wide. There was a faint light coming in from the window. The sky had grown light, but it was still before dawn.
「What’s wrong!?」
He turned towards the door and raised his voice.
Rem’s voice replied from the other side.
「Diablo! The Lifelia King has……!!」
「What!?」
Getting off the bed while saying that, he pulled the door open.
Rem was in a rare state of panic.
「The, the Lifelia King was defeated! They say that the army was routed!」
「……I see.」
Since he had predicted it, he didn’t have much of a shock.
The King suddenly being defeated was on the worst side of his hypothesis though.
「What should we do……!?」
「I wonder what the Lifelia Kingdom plans on doing?」
If the army surrenders, it would be meaningless for him to insist on resistance.
「……The royal capital garrison is ready for a defensive battle. There are already a great number of soldiers on top of the ramparts.」
「Fumu.」
The Inner Court was in a high place.
Straining his eyes from the window, countless torches moving about in the thin mist could be seen. Soldiers were lining up on top of the ramparts.
If they were going to surrender, they probably would have gone down to the ground. They planned on fighting.
Diablo asked a question.
「Is the evacuation of the populace progressing?」
「……I don’t know.」
Thinking about it, Rem also had the same position as his. She was nothing more than an Adventurer from Faltra City. There was no way she would be given detailed information.
Diablo left the window, and headed to the door.
「First, we ask Lumachina about the situation.」
「Yes!」
