At night, the shadows that run as if hiding in the darkness of the king's city.
　Yes, they are the demons that Lasse follows.
　They deceive the knights who are on the rooftops and in the shadows.
　When they arrived at the thieves' lair, they arrived at their destination.
　Not ten minutes had passed since they arrived at the thieves' lair.

Let's go then!

　Under the command of the commander Arachne, the demons of the shadow troops began to act.

　.

"Gawd!

"What the hell is this thing?　How long did it take you to get in here?

　The men are surprised by the sudden appearance of the beast.
　His name is Kuro Dog, a true hunter who can move through the shadows and neutralize any obstacle.
　Kuro Dog attacks the man.

Hee!

　The man rolls around in the nick of time, but Kuro Dog immediately gives chase.

You f*cking dog!

　The landlord's man takes out his hidden sword and attacks Kuro Dog.

What?

　But the landlord's man stops moving in an unnatural position, still wielding his sword.

His body is ......

Oh, you don't want to swing that thing around in the house.

　A bewitching female voice whispers in the landlord's man's ear.
　It was the spider demon Arachne. The man was entangled in her spider silk and couldn't move at all.

I guess it's over there, too.

　When Arachne moved his gaze, he saw a man who had been knocked to the floor by Kuro Dog.

"Now you give back the treasure you stole from my husband.

　The men, who cannot escape, are ordered by Arachne to return the treasure.

"Uh-huh.

　But the men are not frightened of Arachne, and they laugh.

"What's so funny?

"Hahahahaha!　That's a shame!　The treasure is already out!　We're a decoy!

　It's true that the woman who misled the knights during the daytime pursuit, the demon shape-shifter who has the ability to change is not here.

It's not hard to get out of the capital with her ability. It's hard to get me out of here, but she's on her own!

　Shapeshifters are amorphous demons.
　And although shape-shifters are often thought of as only shape-shifters, the shape-shifter's strength is also its ability to use its amorphous body to hide and move from place to place.

Now, they've broken through the siege of the Order and are probably delivering their treasures to the main body!

"Hmm.

　But Arakne's attitude was different from what the men expected.
　I'd expected her to be furious that she hadn't gotten her hands on the treasure.
　Seeing this, the men who served as bait thought they would be the least they could do before they were caught.

Well, that's all right. We've got the shooter, we've got the spy's place. We've done our job well. Let's leave the rest of the treasure to the others.

　Yes, since only two of them, Arachne and Kuro Dog, are here, and the other demons are attacking other places.

So, take care of yourself.

　And Arachne called out to a small potted plant that was in his hand.

　.

It seems that Arachne and her friends have caught the culprit. But I think the treasures are already gone.

　Lasse and the others, who were waiting at the residence of General Maldo, heard the dryads tell of the sight of the potted plants.

All right, let's move on to the second phase of the operation. We must capture the courier demon before it gives the treasure to the main body of the enemy.

The enemy's main body is still not moving and the holy knights are heading for the enemy's main body, which is hiding outside without hesitation.

Let's get this over with while the holy knights are holding us back!

　The　

　The Holy Knights were on their way to the main body of spies hiding in the forest.
　The dryads had found the spies hiding in the eye of the plant and told the pixie of their location.
　And the holy knights were soon to make contact with the enemy's spies.

"Captain, I'm seeing faint lights. It's likely they are hiding the light for the camp.

　After hearing the report, Edil nodded in agreement.

"That's good work, Mr. Dryad. I feel your love for its accuracy.

（（（（ No, not （（（（ ））））

　Although the subordinates secretly denied it at all costs, they would not dare to offend their bosses.
　I know that at times like this, it's better to let them get carried away.

"Then we will attack the bandits. There is no need to check, just come at them with all your might. They are God's enemies for the power of the devil.

「「「「 Got it: 」」」」

　The holy knights give their approval in a whisper.

Then all hands on deck.

　In a whisper Edil ordered the assault.

　.



"Divine Sword!

　The holy knights who have jumped into the spies' camp will activate their enhancement magic the moment the spies become aware of their presence.
　Since the holy knights are also priests to the gods, they are able to enhance their physical abilities to the level of professional knights through sacred magic enhancement.

"Eat me, God's enemies!

　Edil's side-strike knocks the spies off their bodies together.

Yeah!

"Hi!

　Although he couldn't kill them with a single blow, he cut them deep in the belly and the spies cowered.

Why are the Knights of the Round Table here?　The patrol is not supposed to be here for a while!

　The spies, who had mistaken the holy knights for the Knights, stood up from Edil and the others' armor.

Divine Lance!

　The holy knight thrusts out his magically enhanced spear, and the spy thrusts it through the shield he's holding at a moment's notice, easily piercing his body.

"AAAaaaah!

"Divine Armor!

"Divine Shield!

　Although the spies fight back, the holy knights cast defensive magic to make the already hard plate mail even harder.
　They also use their shields to defend themselves, so they can't attack properly.

d*mn it, they're too incompatible!

　As the spies were discarded, they were a covert unit that was solely for the purpose of receiving magical treasures.
　They are also known for their ability to assassinate and escape due to their light weight, but their equipment is of the dagger variety, which is clearly not powerful enough to deal with an opponent with their entire body in armor.

　You will be able to find out if you are able to get away with it.

The Evil Weapon!

　The sword in its fiendish brilliance sliced through the holy knight's armor, splattering blood.

''Aaaaah!

Shaun!

　The holy knights are amazed at the destruction of their armor, breaking through the sacred sparkle.

"Captain!

　It seems that it was the leader of the spies who destroyed the Holy Knight's armor.

"I never thought the Order, or even the Holy Knight, would travel. We didn't expect that.

　The leader of the enemy, holding his sword in a fiery glow, gives a command to his men: "Permission is hereby granted to use the witchcraft armament.

"You are authorized to use your magical weapons. Be careful not to overuse them.

「「「「 Ha! 」」」」

　At his direction, his men discarded the weapon in their hands and took out another dagger that they were not using.

「「「「 Evil Weapon! 」」」」

　It's probably a magic item, and with the command to activate the power, the dagger shines miserably.
　The shine is of the same quality as the one that tore through the holy knight's armor just now.

Come on, let's run over these holy knights!

　Here the curtain was about to rise on the death struggle between light and dark.
