The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 379: Great, it’s the Sword Master, we are saved!

Chapter 379: Great, it’s the Sword Master, we are saved!
Was the speech just now good or bad?

Is it uplifting?
You can tell by looking at how confident Anastasia and the others are.

The declaration of war was undoubtedly a reckless move, and it might make the Archbishops of Sin prepare, or even run away. But at the same time, it was also the easiest way to boost morale.

"Rather, morale is so high that I'm worried that everyone might mess up."

Anastasia smiled at the unexpected result. After all, they who were standing here had all regained their spirits due to the influence of anger.

In this way, the purpose of broadcasting is successfully achieved.

"It would be great if people in the city could relax a little now." Natsuki Subaru breathed softly, "Is there anything else that needs to be done?"

"If you want more, you have to eliminate the cause of all this."

The Witch Cult should have known Zun Zun and his intentions from the broadcast just now. Even so, they will still act according to their original purpose.

In this regard, we can only rely on their irrationality. Regardless of the effectiveness of the speech, the Witch Cult has the means to destroy the city, and this remains unchanged.

They must be defeated quickly before the worst happens.

"Do we need to capture all four control towers at the same time?"

"Three Archbishops of Sin, and two experts to assist them. We must discuss how to allocate our forces to carry out the attack, including countermeasures against the sub-beasts."

“…Is it really like this?”

Zun Zun couldn't help but speak about the conversation between Natsuki Subaru and Anastasia.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Zun Zun?"

"How should I put it... the protagonists of a hot-blooded anime are divided into different parts when facing an enemy, and then they fight each other one by one, and then they explode and defeat the enemy. So, how about everyone shouting 'We are the candidates for the King's Choice!' this time?"

"No, no, no, this isn't a hot-blooded anime."

"But it does have a hot-blooded anime twist, right, bro."

“Al is right. Subaru, don’t you know that at times like this, you should talk about friendship and bonds? This is romance, don’t you understand romance?”

"This isn't a teen anime!"

"Brother, why don't you just say you are the Hokage O."

Zun Zun, Natsuki Subaru and Al, the three of them inexplicably began to have a heated discussion, but the content of the discussion was not the abilities of the Archbishops of Sin, nor the distribution of combat power, but confusing words such as friendship, bonds, and the future.

During this time, Anastasia wanted to stop them, but was forced back by the three people's roar of "Don't get in the way!", which made the big businessman furious on the spot, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

"That's enough! There's no point in arguing about those useless things at a time like this!"

“This is romantic…”

"Ok?"

“…I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

I didn't expect that the quiet and steady Anastasia would have such a crazy side. It seems that even the best-tempered and best at hiding a person will sometimes lose control.

"The key point now is how to allocate our combat power to carry out the attack!"

The distorted topic was forcibly reversed.

Simultaneous capture of the four occupied control towers is a must to save Watergate City.

It is difficult to concentrate our forces now as we did when we attacked the city hall. If we concentrate our forces to retake one of the control towers, then the other three towers will really open the floodgates next time.

It is true that the Great Water Gate was not opened after Zun Zun conquered the Archbishop of Lust, but that does not mean it won’t be opened next time.

It is undoubtedly a gamble to pin your hopes on your opponent. Of course, it should be difficult to continue such a gamble or to win.

There are five main enemies in total. If we subtract Crusch and the others from our side, our hand is quite severe.

"Well, how about adding a joker card?"

"Ok?"

Just as they were counting their combat power on their fingers, a voice suddenly came to their ears. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the entrance of the room. When they saw the figure standing at the door, Natsuki Subaru was furious. Then, he suddenly relaxed and put his shoulders together.

Zun Zun saw the person coming and greeted him.

"——Hey, you're back?"

"Yes. My master is at the front, but I can only stay at the back. Shame on you, the so-called Grey Knight."

Otto gave a wry smile.

He was a knight. Even though he had been an internal affairs officer for a year, his main job was still that of a knight. However, when his master was fighting the enemy on the front line and even conquered a sin archbishop, he did not show up.

Honestly, it's so embarrassing.

But Zun Zun felt that it was not his fault. Not to mention that the Archbishop of Sin had disturbed the tranquility of the city, and later the Archbishop of Wrath had attacked the Chamber of Commerce, and then the flood had submerged the city. It was already very good to be able to return safely.

Natsuki Subaru also felt very close to Otto when he saw him.

"Otto, I haven't seen you for a while, but you think highly of me."

"Not as good as you, Mr. Natsuki."

Otto greeted him casually.

Two people who have not been dating for a year are actually not that close. To be precise, no matter who they are, they will be resistant to someone who is enthusiastic towards them from the beginning. Maybe they are plotting against them - this is the natural psychological defense of human beings.

Coming in front of Zun Zun, Otto looked at him deeply.

I feel the gap is getting too big.

The others were knights who played an important role in this battle, whether it was Ferris, Julius, or even Natsuki Subaru, they were all quite outstanding. Only he did nothing from beginning to end, and was not even by his master's side.

Even Al would rather not fight the Archbishop of Lust with them, but would find Priscilla first.

"——Why are you blaming yourself!?" "It hurts!"

Zun Zun slapped him on the back.

"Listen carefully, Otto. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It is the job of the superiors to help them flourish in their areas of expertise. In other words, it is my responsibility. It is abnormal for someone like Natsuki Subaru to jump around like a flea even though he is so weak."

"Take me as an example!?"

Natsuki Subaru pointed at himself dumbfoundedly.

Although this was hardly consolation, at least Otto cheered up.

“Okay, okay.” Seeing that the time was almost right, Anastasia clapped her hands and interrupted, “Anyway, I’m thankful that Mr. Otto is still alive. Although I really want to ask him what he’s been doing until now, but before that—”

Her pale blue eyes fixed on Otto.

"Can I ask what that meaningful remark just now means?"

"A joker? It's very simple. I used a little trick to bring him here."

In response to Anastasia's question, Otto said as he made way for the entrance.

Taking this as a signal, the footsteps of the person who was waiting outside the door without any hurry came in. At the same time, a new person walked into the room -

"Sorry, I'm late."

Just these words from this person make people feel as if they are helped by God and are reliable.

Everyone looked at the newcomer in disbelief, their eyes slightly widened, and their heartbeats quickened.

The combination of the illusion of a strong wind and the real feeling of seeing the flames in front of my eyes was extremely shocking. I am not exaggerating, in fact, this reunion really had such an impact.

The combat power that he had always longed for, the strongest reinforcement, his arrival made him extremely excited.

"Sword Saint Family, Reinhard van Astraea, although it's a little late, we will meet here."

As he said this, like a blazing fire, the Sword Master expressed his willingness to join the battle.

Just by showing up, Zun Zun's limelight disappeared completely. Although Yi was a little unhappy, he had to admit that he was still far from being the invincible swordsman.

Then, the Sword Master bowed and apologized for being late.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you at the critical moment."

Everyone's eyes were on him. It would be easy to accept his apology on the surface, but they couldn't hide their true feelings.

During these hours when combat power was urgently needed, it was a fact that Reinhardt's whereabouts were unknown, and it was hard not to wonder what the result would be if he joined the city hall attack.

——The Archbishop of Lust was defeated, the city hall was recaptured, and Crusch and Natsuki Subaru did not suffer from the side effects of dragon blood.

Although all of this was done later, the pain was not reduced at all.

"It's all Reinhardt's fault."

"……Yes."

Reinhard lowered his head even lower after hearing what Zun Zun said, but the next moment he heard—

"If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have to do anything with the Bishop of Lust."

"Eh?"

"That guy was very difficult to deal with. Although his strength was not that great, his recovery ability was amazing. In the end, I had to use my ultimate move. At that time, I was only 5% sure, but it was really -. What if I died accidentally?"

"...Yes, it's my fault."

Reinhardt had a troubled look on his face.

Zun Zun's complaints were not over yet. He seemed to want to save Betty, Mimi, and Crusch, to appease people so that they would not worry anymore, to make a plan on how to fight the enemy, and finally he even complained about how hard he was forced to make okonomiyaki yesterday morning...

Constantly complaining.

Gradually it turned into unreasonable trouble mode.

No matter what happens, blame it on Reinhard.

But it is just like this that makes others realize that human power is limited - the Sword Saint is only a Sword Saint, even if he is the strongest on earth, it is impossible for him to save everyone one by one, and he cannot be perfect.

After understanding this, they looked at each other and helpless smiles appeared on their faces.

"Phew, that feels good."

Zun Zun fanned his hot cheeks. He had just told him that Reinhard had brought him here against his will.

"Don't you want to say something? Such a good opportunity doesn't come often."

“…What should I say?”

"Didn't you say everything, sir?"

"There's nothing more to say."

Anastasia and the others shook their heads.

I already understood the truth. If I lost my temper again, I would be as unreasonable as Zun Zun, so I stopped talking.

Reinhard also understood this, so he bowed deeply to the Master.

"——Thank you, sir!"

"Reinhardt, are you Duem!?"
