213 King Heim Capital Strategy [7]

"- No, well, that would be nice. Whatever happens, your mother can't possibly not love me when I'm stronger."

Ed suddenly returns to sanity.

He was acting as if he was distressed, and suddenly, he put his behavior back on that earlier.

"... I didn't tell you, but I have a healing pill that uses Heelbird material"

Lloyd talks to the two of them, staring at Ed with a changed attitude.

He held a lot of sweat in his hand and tightened his mind for the battle that would be starting.

"It was also purified by Lord Majorica. Therefore, because of its preciousness, the number is small - but some impossibility is advantageous."

Chris and Lili look at Lloyd.

I imagined what he would say from now on, sipping and watching.

Lloyd then continued with a reliable look.

"I will be forced (...) to be a wall. Even if we don't win, we're gonna do enough to hurt you badly."

Chris and Lili nod with a mysterious face at words that ignore the fact that they are going home alive.

"If you believe him, you can't let him go with Ein."

"It is...... Do you want to do your best?"

Maybe he's airy.

The two answer with determination, but somewhat less energetic than usual.

But the three decide in their hearts their willingness to confront the reinforced Ed.

"Okay - let's go!

Lloyd cuts ahead and runs out.

Ed sees Lloyd calmed down until he feels calm or behaves.

Put up the spear with one hand and reach out to take Lloyd directly from the front.

"If you are a true demon king, I may be happy!

"Hmm. And you say?

A complete break from Lloyd's front.

I see Ed with the same blow that turned the Yatsume Rabbit into two pieces.

Best blow of the day...... no, a brutal blow to the muscles not thinking ahead of Lloyd twists and drives Ed behind who took it.

"You can form the same thing as our first sire! If that's you... there's no more joy!

"Ha! Is it with that man!

"What's wrong?!

I guess Ed's body hasn't settled down yet.

Lloyd's desperate blow continues to put a lot of pressure on Ed's hand to take.

Though wrapped around the red aura, the blood vessels floated colorfully.

"I can't believe you guys still wanted to do the same thing as a family killer man, you were barbarians!

"- His Majesty Marc killed his family...? What are you talking about?

"Oh, isn't this story telling Ishtarika right now? I see...... Yikes!

Ed's spear cleaves the sky.

If you stand nearby, there is tension that the air alone is likely to cause cuts.

But in anticipation of the time, Chris and Lili also hit Ed.

"Ed, are you being modest?

From the nostalgia, Chris poked Rapier out and launched an attack on Ed's body.

"I felt the same way! After all, you're still halfway there!

The clash between Lloyd and Ed caught my eye.

Assuming Ed has truly evolved... no matter how crazy Lloyd would be in death, Ed will never be driven away.

Because if you look at the ground, there are deep traces of the two shoes.

"If you think about what you're going to say, that's disrespectful. All right, let's start with you two."

Ed changes his position and stands around trying to launch an attack on both Chris and Lili.

... but the anomaly came suddenly at that time.

"- Hmm? My red...?

Red aura wrapped around Ed.

As that red aura begins to contract, the tip of the spear trembles small.

"Huh!

"Become... what... wake up... ugh!?

Chris pokes Rapier without missing a gap.

Then, finally, for the first time, there was a scratch on Ed's body.

"I'm here too - hey!

Now Lili cutting with a dagger without throwing.

It's just a little surprise attack, wary of counterattacks.

But following Chris, Lili's attack also scratched Ed's skin.

"What happened...? No, attack first!

Go on. Lloyd, too, waves the Great Sword down against Ed.

Then, perplexed Ed exploits Lloyd's power and is deliberately blown away in the form of receiving the Great Sword.

"Chris. Lili. What the hell happened to that?"

With just a little distance open, Lloyd asks.

"I don't know. When the red aura suddenly became unstable, Ed's movements slowed down."

"Er, I don't really get it either... but you got a frightening light attack"

"... I see. Sure, don't look like the red aura is healing."

Hear the two words, and Lloyd turns his eyes to Ed.

Then, while the red aura was healing, her hands and feet were shaking lightly.

"Demonization - I can't say for sure, but it's true that that red aura is a symbol of Ed's power"

Chris opens his mouth.

I scratched a lot of sweat on my neck and Chris' proud blonde hair was messy and sticky.

"Maybe, out of fuel - no, out of strength or something"

"Ah... well... well, that 's--"

Lili perceives the voice.

Lloyd also snorted (...) with a look on his face, smiling small and nibbly at his mouth.

"Speaking of Demon Stone Furnaces, you're finally out of Demon Stone."

"Yes, I was wondering if that might be the case..."

"- So... do you even buy time?

Lili suggested buying time.

But Lloyd shakes his head quietly to the side.

"No. There's no way that guy's gonna notice this. - Look, look."

Ed calls himself a combat craftsman.

You can't possibly not notice how he's doing.

Tongue-beating with sounds that the Lloyds can hear makes me feel more struggling than ever.

"I'm sorry, but I'm ready for you. Let's put the curtain down on this stage."

"It's for you. Oh...... ok. This is what I want."

This is what signaled it.

When the two speak up, Ed appears in front of Lloyd at the next moment.

"Ha-ha-ha...!

The big sword prevents defense in time and Lloyd prevents Ed from spearing with his right arm.

I can't cut thanks to avoiding the cuts - but Ed's unleashed blow was too heavy.

In the next moment, such a sound echoes around, as if it had been cobbled from a high place.

"Lo... Dear Lloyd!?

Chris wolves at the sound that would surely have shattered his bones.

"You're not a human resource, are you?

"Huh... it's just so early"

When the roar sounded, Lloyd was blown off for about a few meters.

Chris raises his voice worried about Lloyd, but the next moment Ed comes before Chris.

"Again, do you react"

When Chris left, the place where Chris stood was deeply decided.

"My compatibility with you is troublesome."

"Thank you for that. For me, as much as I appreciate it. Huh!

Chris cuts it off with a rapier as he tries to get around small, but Ed didn't show the kind of gap he just made.

Be polite enough... and squeeze Chris' attack out in a powerful move.

"So let's get this over with"

"... Huh?

Nothing. You don't have to hang out on the same mound as Chris.

Ed abandons hesitation...... he points his spear at Chris with a force push.

"You just call yourself the Demon King...... ugh!

"In modern Ishtarika, women have to slap lightly - but it's decided?

I can't block my empty mouth, Ed.

But I won't pursue it any further. Because I was quick to come up with a battle because I was perceiving something clearly wrong with my body.

"We're getting weaker and weaker...! Have you lost your mind, Ed!

The gradually weakening red aura - Chris mouths it in a strong tone, although the arm limit is approaching.

"- I just relaxed a little bit.... Rest assured."

One swing, and then a second swing...... Chris's posture breaks down with every overlap.

"Eh... ma, not yet...!

That lasted about a few more times, and Chris repeated his defense at the foot without a bump or a leg.

- But Ed, who wasn't powerless, was still strong.

"Look, stay back."

The sound of cleaving metal - and then the sound of piercing Chris' armor, Chris falls to the ground breathing painfully.

I get speared through the vicinity of my flank, and at the same time I fall, I get a lot of blood flowing.

"Phew... ha... ha..."

He repeated his breath irregularly, staring hard at Ed as he fell to the ground.

But where the wind blows Ed loses interest from Chris and turns his greatest hatred to Lili.

"You'll die soon anyway.... you're next."

"- Ha... ha... no, I won't let you"

A great sword swung down from behind Ed, the moment he tried to strike Lili.

Lloyd hasn't lost his hegemony, even as he leaks a painful breath.

"Ooh...? How can you move...?

"I'm a marshal. Of course, right?

"... you're not the answer"

"Lo, Master Lloyd! Safe......!?

The arms must have been definitely smashed and scattered.

Lloyd waved his sword down in a powerful motion.

Ed stares strangely at Lloyd and Lili sounds worried.

"Oh, I don't know! Thanks to Lord Majorica, I can handle it with patience!

I guess I used Heelbird's magic props.

But that alone didn't seem to repair the crushed bone completely, and Lloyd dyes his complexion blue and white, sweating like a waterfall on his face.

My voice was also trembling by the way, and I was told that I was desperately putting up with the pain.

"- Well, that would be nice. Then I'll go on......!

Next to Chris, who keeps bleeding, the battle between the three resumes.

Reinforced Ed is still full of strength, and his offense hits the two of us when he comes to decide on the battle early.

... still waving his sword with his damaged arm - and because of that, Lloyd's one arm was blurred.

Lili also fought desperately with a dagger, but after all, Ed's offense is too heavy for her covert.

Ed's pressure gradually fades away, but it's too long until it's completely gone.

The wound is never fatal, but Lili gets her shoulder pierced with Ed's spear, and Lloyd is also powerless in his sword-shaking hand.

Is it really over now...... and the word came in the back of their brains.

- But they pick up their lives where they are in inches.

"... hmm?

Ed's red aura is no longer left but thin.

That said, we were in a situation where the battle was about to be decided... but Ed suddenly stopped.

……

Ed, whose two sentences didn't tell him, stood in mourning.

When I stick my spear to the ground and peek into both arms, I think with a crease between my eyebrows.

"-Lo, Lloyd... Dear. Ed's arm..."

Keep your shoulders down and Lili opens her mouth to exhale.

Pointing to Ed's body at his trembling fingertips, he spoke painfully to Lloyd.

"... are you shriveled?

By analogy, he suddenly became an old man's arm.

The skin engraves deep wrinkles and the saving is accentuated.

Then the red aura that Ed was wrapped around also lurked the ringing.

When changes come to Ed's appearance to wither away, he scratches his chest to suffer.

"At a time like this......!

Wrinkles around his forehead and opens his eyes, alternating between Lloyd and Lili, who are still conscious.

Whispering, 'What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do...' he showed his back in the way he gave up.

"That stone (...) has to go back to the castle... but don't fight like this -"

More than the Lloyds think, Ed's body seems to be attacked by fatigue as well.

Is it a price for using strong force, pulling spears off the ground with heavy footprints?

Walking out the pulled away spear to wand, he unwinds himself on a horse that was nearby.

"Run! To your mother's waiting place.

Grasp the reins with frustration.

Adding a strong kick to the horse's flank, Ed walked away in a busy manner.

"Oh, how could he not... stab us to a stop..."

Lili talks to Lloyd in pain.

"... it would be completely out of fuel. I guess I didn't even need the strength of my body around using the spear as a cane."

"Uh... that's our win... what?

"- It's like a confiscation match that's close to unlimited defeat. You saved him from remaining incomplete. If it had been complete, it would have killed him overwhelmingly."

But still, the situation remains hopelessly unchanged.

Because Chris lays bleeding, and Lloyd and Lili are in no situation to be able to handle the weapon well. So to speak, one step ahead of total annihilation.

If Ed's power could have been kept for ten more seconds, surely the two of them would have lost their lives.

"Oh yeah, Chris - Chris!

Ed's leaving pushes more fatigue all over his body.

He was careless like he wanted to laugh and deceive, but Lloyd ran over to Chris, who fell to the ground.

Run nearby in pain, holding one arm that hardly moves anymore.

"Hey! Hey!

I lean back on Chris, who was depressed, but as a matter of course he doesn't get back to me.

"... it's okay. I thought you just lost your mind because you bled too much."

Lili tugs her legs while keeping her shoulders down because of the stone that hit the knee kid.

On his knees in front of Chris, lying on his back, he put his hand on his neck and checked his pulse.

"Your complexion - it sucks, but if you hurry to treat it, you'll make it."

But this is not Ishtarika on the battlefield.

Without satisfactory facilities, it is also difficult to treat Chris.

"Barra is here - no, can't she even be satisfied with the treatment on the battlefield? But... yes!

Lloyd, who had been thinking for a little while, got to one answer.

"Lili. You're the same, aren't you? You can't fight with satisfaction anymore."

"... No, Lili can still do it"

"Don't. Don't be patient. You're aware you're gonna pull your leg, aren't you?

"... is that good Lord Lloyd?

Sure, Lloyd's got one arm out of use, too.

But Lloyd is the best of the three, thanks to the use of Heelbird's magic props.

"- Somebody! Get the horse! Bring the horse!

Lloyd calls the Knight of Ishtarika out loud.

Then a knight appeared who was watching and stopped the horse in front of Lloyd.

"Ha!"

"I'm gonna borrow your horse."

Borrowing a horse from the cavalry, Lloyd lifts Lili with one arm and puts her on the horse.

"Huh? Ha... hey, hey! Master Lloyd!?

He went on to hug Chris and put him on the front of Lili and fastened him with a string.

"It's time for Leviathan to arrive at the port town Round Heart. Get on with it and treat Chris. Leviathan has a lot of the latest magic tricks."

"- I see! Sure, if Leviathan...!

Lili regained her temper by finding hope.

"Oh, that? But Master Lloyd...?

"... than this, I march after Ed to King Heim's capital. It's about time - and don't forget to treat Lili."

A far more transformed view of the battlefield near Wangdu than before fighting Ed.

It was clear that the Ishtarika side prevailed, with many Haim forces running out on the ground.

"Master Lloyd! Give me this horse!

"Oh. Sorry."

When he receives a horse from a Kingsguard knight who has come late, Lloyd rides in pain.

"This is a report on the state of war..."

"Ask while running. The purpose is the king's capital! Let's go!"

"Lo...... Dear Lloyd! Please wait! Even Lord Lloyd's body..."

"If we're going to beat Ed, it's the only time! You saw the weak one! - Knight of Ishtarika, go on with me!

To prevent it from becoming a major obstacle, Lloyd decides to go after Ed.

On the other hand, Lili, who was left, saw Chris, who could hold him.

Considering Chris' injury, who is losing his mind, Lili runs her horse toward the port town Roundheart.

"Good luck. Dear Lord Lloyd."

When Ed began to awaken with black stones.

Even a short distance away with a horse, a dramatic stand-up was about to begin.

- Dear Ein,

"... it's about time"

The momentum between the two armies that bump into each other does not stop, and many bodies are stacked.

In the meantime, changes came to Ain and Dir, who kept fighting Heim soldiers.

"... if you don't mind, I'll take them"

"No. I'll take care of him."

The moving battle situation finally brought us closer to the distance of the commanders of both armies.

In other words, Ain and Logus stand at such a distance as they did during a verbal battle.

"Again, can't you trust me for losing the other day?

Dill talking about the defeat of the day of the talks.

But Ain hit Dill on the shoulder and denied it.

"... what a fool. There's no day I didn't trust Dill."

"So, bye! How could Ein himself...!

- No matter how rotten it is, it will be my father for once.

Ain seemed spicy, seeping through emotions he couldn't stop.

"Sooo... ha..."

At an early age.

When I was present with the Kingsguard knights - I stole their sophisticated skills one by one.

When I was present with Chris - I was desperate to catch up with Chris early.

When I was present with Lloyd - I worried about Lloyd's power and how he would react to standing around.

Since growing big,

Standing with Cain - overcoming shortcomings and learning the strength of the absolute strong.

And a loyal man - standing with Marco, he let his body blossom with the power to sleep.

"I can win. I beat Marco, but my father - I can't believe Logus beat me, Marco, no... Cain (...) will scold me too"

Even though he disrupts his pulse with strange tension, Ein disciplines himself in that way.

"Oh, but it's not a compliment for commanders to fight each other."

"... if you win, the morale of the enemy soldiers will fall to the bottom. So I don't think everything should be denied"

"Oh well. Good for you."

"However, that presupposes that the commander is not royal like General… Ein"

"Uh... that hurts when they say it"

Ain't no different. Ain't light.

When we laugh like when we joke at each other in the castle, we scratch our cheeks in embarrassment.

"Dill."

"Ha!"

Ein changes his voice color and calls Dill.

"We will defeat General Logus and attack the King's Capital at once. I'm also concerned about how King Ralph is doing, but I'll take Anon's neck first."

"Ha. As you wish - Your Highness"
