What should we do, Allen?
As far as I'm concerned, there's only one option.
We work together to save Rohzenheim.
Huh?!
The Demon Lord has waited for years to amass ten million troops.
But even so, it's not enough to conquer Rohzenheim, the Baukis Empire,
and the central continent at the same time.
3 MILLION
That's why he started by putting pressure on Rohzenheim with an army of three million.
3 MILLION
His goal is to make all the elven healers leave the central continent.
Then, after Rohzenheim falls, the other troops will attack the now weakened central continent.
Until, finally, they launch an all-out assault on the Baukis Empire.
That explains what the four million reserve troops are for.
Exactly.
But there's one more thing...
After Rohzenheim was invaded,
they unilaterally decided to pull their elves out of the central continent, right?
Am I correct to assume that violates the terms of the Five Continent Alliance?
Well, it's complicated...
Creating discord among the allied nations and breaking down their established lines of support.
That's exactly what the Demon Lord wants.
We cannot play into his hand.
Be it the elves, the humans, or the dwarves, no race can fend off the Demon Lord alone.
Saving Rohzenheim is the key to everything.
It's the best way to protect everyone, our kingdom included!
EPISODE 19: ONWARD TO ROHZENHEIM
Even so, the fact remains the central continent is faced with two million monsters and no elven healers.
Sure, we could save Rohzenheim, but not if comes at the cost of losing the Giamutan Empire.
Right.
And that's where these come in.
I'll supply them to our troops here!
What is that?
A recovery elixir.
One of these can heal every soldier in an area the size of
the Academy's training grounds by a thousand HP.
HP
Really?! That could heal almost 3,000 troops in most common tactical formations!
I have 600,000 of these.
It's not a surefire strategy, but it should take a lot of the pressure off the troops defending the central continent.
Yes, I'm sure it will.
Did this come from your Summoner powers?
No. It's a new type of elven recovery elixir made in Rohzenheim.
What? Elven? But you-
Sir Allen speaks the truth.
Huh?
It is indeed a new elven creation!
Princess Sophialohne?
To make up for withdrawing our healers,
Rohzenheim is going to supply these recovery elixirs to the central continent.
Isn't that right, Sir Allen?
Spot on, Sophie!
That should alleviate any concern about the alliance falling apart.
Mm-hmm.
So we can save Rohzenheim, shore up the central continent's defense,
and keep the alliance in place!
Pulling this off successfully will bring the Demon Lord's entire plan crumbling down.
You're a genius, Sir Allen!
Well, there's no guarantee that everything will go smoothly.
Let's be prepared to adapt on the fly.
Is it just me, or is our leader almost too smart?
Yep! He's always been big-brained!
I'll also give Meruru 10,000 of the elven recovery elixirs for the dwarves.
Huh?
And some of my Seed of Magic elixir, too. It can recover MP.
Meruru is a Talos General who can control golems with magic.
There's a good chance that she'll end up on the frontlines.
Wow, thank you! I'll put them to good use!
But this doesn't change our plan to visit the Baukis Empire in April, y'know?
Huh?!
We're gonna give the Demon Lord's army a quick thrashing,
so the No-Life Gamers can get back to dungeon crawling!
Right!
I'll be waiting for you guys in the Baukis Empire!
I've made sure you'll all be safe.
Rifol of the Hamilton family will take care of you while I'm gone.
So don't worry.
Elder Brother...
Once I prove myself on the battlefield, we can go back to being nobles.
Well, that won't matter if you lose your life.
So please be safe.
Deliver this upon your arrival at the house.
Understood. I'll be sure the Viscount gets it.
Thank you.
Sending a letter?
Yes, like my brother did. You remember the diary he left behind, right?
I want to be prepared for the worst.
I see.
I'm sorry, you guys.
I'm pretty sure the reason that we five were drafted into the war,
is because of a grudge the king has against me.
It's all my fault.
Oh, save it. I accepted that we were destined for war a long time ago!
Same here.
Besides, you're the one who talked big about us defeating the Demon Lord.
Let's go kick butt, leader!
Thanks, guys.
To summarize, our job is to gather intel on the Demon Lord's invasion force,
and then murderize the lot of them, yes?
ELLIE (SPIRIT B)
That's right, Ellie.
And Drago. I know it won't easy.
DRAGO (DRAGON B)
Please do your best to support the humans without letting them catch sight of you.
Roger that, bossman.
As you wish, Master Allen.
We'll fry 'em all to a crisp!
Let the murderizing begin!
HIGH-SPEED MAGIC SHIP
Hey!
Allen!
Sorry for the wait.
It was a good two years at the Academy.
The time really flew by.
With any luck, we can prevent the other students from seeing the horror of the war.
Let's get out there and change the tide!
Yeah!
Hey, Sophie. What's Rohzenheim like?
Will it be a problem if they notice that we're human?
I think it would be best if everyone wore hoods while we're in town.
Rohzenheim is the capital city of the elves that's full of natural beauty,
including a huge tree known as the World Tree.
Elves can be somewhat snobbish when it comes to other races,
but we are a peaceful people who hate war and love the spiritual.
Right now, we're heading for Nest, which is normally a tranquil port town,
but it's become an emergency refuge for those fleeing the Demon Lord's invasion.
I hope your family made it to safety.
Me, too.
My mother has very formidable bodyguards, so I'm sure she's okay.
It's frustrating that we don't know much about what's happening over there.
I hope we make it before the worst happens.
FOUR DAYS LATER
There it is!
That's the city of Nest!
Thank heavens. Looks like it's still standing!
Yes!
Okay, so the invasion hasn't reached here yet.
We need to gather intel fast and find a way to help the elves on the frontlines.
Princess Sophialohne.
We are here to escort you. The Council of Elders awaits your arrival.
O-oh my goodness...
How awful. Are these all injured people who fled the war?!
Looks like it.
They must not have enough healers.
There are upwards of a million refugees not counting any soldiers.
Allen!
These people need help! Let's use the elixir on them!
We could, but time is of the essence.
I want to meet with the elders first.
But we can't just leave them!
Mm-hmm. Listen, why don't we split into two groups?
Okay, good idea.
I'll use my summon creatures to let you know when the meeting is over.
All right!
Okay.
You're up, Cleric!
Thank you...
Princess Sophialohne is here!
I have returned from abroad as per your orders.
Your Highness!
Princess Sophialohne!
We're glad to see you.
What of the Queen?
My apologies. We tried to convince her to evacuate with us, but...
she's currently stuck in Tiamo where they continue to hold the line.
So she's still alive?!
Not quite...
Contact has been completely cut off.
Tiamo could fall as early as tomorrow.
And Nest will soon suffer the same fate.
Heavens, no...
We still have time to stop the worst from happening.
Who is that?
It's a human! What are you doing here?!
Wait! He has raven hair!
That's right.
This is the savior who Lord Rohzen spoke of.
He came with me from the Kingdom of Ratash to save Rohzenheim from disaster.
My name is Allen.
This boy is really the one?
In that case, Sir Allen, please join us for the war council.
Hold on, let me treat your arm first.
No need. I've already had it bandaged...
Lukdraal. Do as you're told.
Peachy's Blessing of Heaven should heal lost limbs.
That's impossible!
You have an elven elixir?!
Awesome. That's exactly what I wanted them to think.
Sorry to cut to the chase, but will you tell me how many wounded soldiers you have here?
Roughly 100,000.
Good to know.
This elven elixir can fully recover both the HP and MP of all the people
within an area the size of the town square.
FULLY?!
My friends are currently tending to the injured as we speak,
but we need more hands.
I'll provide you with a thousand of these, so please use them to treat the injured.
Preposterous! You can't possibly have a thousand elven elixirs!
It's strange enough that we've never heard of such a powerful-
Lukdraal.
It truly is an elven elixir. Follow Sir Allen's lead on this.
Understood, Your Highness.
We have no time to waste.
My group will immediately head for Tiamo.
But it takes a whole month to reach Tiamo by carriage no matter how fast the horse...
Distance won't pose a problem.
I have more questions I'd like to ask you, so I will leave a proxy here to handle those.
Ellie!
Here, Master.
Poppo!
Please leave it to me, Master Allen.
I-is that a spirit?!
Excuse you.
We are summon creatures brought forth by Master Allen's amazing Talent.
This bird has the ability to transmit my voice, like so.
It sounds just like Sir Allen!
Take care of things here.
I will journey forth with Sir Allen.
Your Highness?!
Princess Sophialohne! Why have you come back here?
Please, you must flee! Rohzenheim is done for.
Don't lose hope! We must never give up!
But we're defenseless. We have no homes, weapons, or even food left.
My husband and children were eaten by monsters right in front of me!
I have nothing left! What hope could there possibly be?!
No matter how bad things get,
I have a duty not to give up on Rohzenheim and its citizens.
That's the spirit. Let's go.
We're here!
Come on out, Griff!
I have returned to save Rohzenheim from the invasion!
Have faith and offer your prayers to the Sovereign of Spirits!
Hope lives on!
Princess Sophialohne...
She's right. We still have some fight left in us!
Heal our wounded troops as soon as possible!
We'll regroup and rally the army!
Yessir!
Hold on tight! We're going top speed!
Awakened skill: Jet!
We will get there before it's too late!
TYPE: BIRD
RANK: B
HP:
MP:
Attack:

GRIFF

Do you see those lights?
That must be Tiamo.
It is!
Looks like something's on fire.
Hollow!
Awakened skill: White Night!
Let's see...
The city is surrounded by monsters,
TIAMO
but it hasn't been breached yet.
Seems like the Demon Lord's army is taking a break.
Although it's taken some damage, the city is still standing. We can save it!
Thank heavens!
Monsters incoming!
Prepare to fire!
Wait!
We're with Princess Sophialohne!
Her Highness?!
Stand down!
Princess!
Take us to the Queen!
Yessir!
Princess Sophialohne and her bodyguard Volmaar have arrived!
Sophie?!
Mom- I mean, Your Majesty!
Sophie!
I made it back home. I'm so glad you're okay!
Sophie looks just like her mom, huh?
Yeah.
There's an animal riding on her shoulder.
I guess elves are really attune with wildlife, huh?
I heard word from Nest of your return, but I didn't think you'd get here so fast!
Well, it's all thanks to Sir Allen!
Your Majesty, let me introduce you to the No-Life Gamers and their leader: Sir Allen.
Nice to meet you. We came to help your people fight off the invasion, ma'am.
You're the one?
The boy who Lord Rohzen prophesized.
He's our savior?
All I'm seeing are five little kids.
So, not everybody believes in the Sovereign of Spirit's prophetic nonsense, huh?
How wonderful. I've heard of your thrilling battle against Helmios the Hero.
We would love to have your assistance.
If I may, Your Majesty.
Tiamo will not survive the assault come morning.
Please use this opportunity to flee with Princess Sophialohne back to Nest.
Absolutely not!
There are still 700,000 refugees who are stranded in this city!
Forget about me and focus your efforts on finding a way to survive the assault!
B-but that's a tall order...
Pardon me for interrupting.
Can you tell me how many troops you have left here, wounded or otherwise?
There are about 60,000 left who can still fight and 140,000 who are wounded.
All right.
I can provide you with a thousand of these elixirs.
Please use them to heal as many of your troops as possible.
Heal them? With some strange elixir that we've never seen before?
There's no time for a debate.
Cooperate with us and we can fend off the Demon Lord's invasion.
Are you serious? You intend to fight against that huge horde?
Of course. That's what we came here for.
We're going to attack the monsters now, under the cover of night.
Right now?!
We'll throw them into disarray by killing as many as we can
and buy time for you to heal your troops.
Volmaar.
I want you to stay here and conduct the treatment of the wounded.
Uh... yes, ma'am!
I'll leave Ellie behind, too.
Ellie!
Keep me updated on the situation here.
As you wish, Master.
And finally...
Okay! Let's move!
How many of that elixir do you have left?
It's called the "Blessing of Heaven."
I have about 2,000 still stocked.
Are we attacking the monsters by ourselves?
Yep! The plan is just to go wild on them.
Awesome!
Sophie... do me proud.
I used Hollow to take a quick look. There are 300,000 monsters surrounding the city.
130,000
30,000
30,000 TIAMO 30,000
30,000
Our target is their main force of 130,000 that's posted on the north side.
Did you say 130,000?!
Drago! Cerby!
Here's the plan. Drago squad, use your fire breath to hit 'em far and wide.
You got it, boss. Leave the small fries to me!
Cerby squad, focus on the A-rank monsters. Your awakened Skill can defeat them instantly.
Yessir! I'll take out their big guns!
Fillet! Finny! Genbu!
FISH D
FISH C
FISH B
Use your abilities and Awakened Skills to buff our team!
Your wish is my command.
Keel. Sophie.
All Protect! Magic Shield!
O spirits of nature, bless us with your protection!
Cecil and I will attack them from the air.
The rest of you can charge in once the fighting starts.
Roger!
Sounds good!
Game on!
It's been a month since the Demon Lord's army of three million attacked Rohzenheim.
And I'd estimate about three million elves must have lost their lives.
Monsters need nourishment and rest just like any living creature.
Which means...
they've been using elves as their food source while invading.
These bastards deserve no mercy. It's time to make them regret it!
Cecil! Are you ready?
All set.
This is for you, Mihai!
Extra Skill:
Petit Meteor!
Whoa.
That's the total opposite of petit...
It worked!
That probably wiped out 10,000 of 'em on the spot.
Your Extra Skill is nothing to laugh at. What a crazy strong spell!
It sucks I can only use it once a day, though.
Way to go, Cecil!
Don't use your Extra Skill, Krena. We can't have you going berserk on us.
Huh?
Okay, let's give 'em hell!
Sweet. We're off to a great start.
Achew! Achew-chew!
They have healers. Do you see those lights?
We gotta take them out!
All right.
You're up!
Wally Blaster!
Stone Bullet!
Achew! Achew-chew! A-a-achew!
Curse you!
They defeated three of my Dragos.
I'll summon more.
Huh?
We have company!
It's a gargoyle.
Eat this!
Cobble.
And ka-blamo!
Do I kick ass or what?
You've got it down to a science!
Uh-oh.
Looks like the troops posted at the north gate are already making a move.
We can't let them catch Krena's group in a pincer!
Poppo!
Awakened Skill: Messenger!
30,000 TIAMO 30,000
30,000
Listen up, all.
There are 30,000 more monsters coming our way.
Fly into the sky and we'll regroup!
Allen! I clobbered a bunch of 'em!
I bet you did. Nicely done!
I took down my fair share, too.
Yeah, I saw! Your Extra Skill was crazy!
We delivered a pretty devastating blow.
So, are we done attacking now?
Nope.
The healing in Tiamo is coming along, but they're going to need more time.
What's the plan?
We zip over to the south side and attack the 50,000 monsters posted there.
Well, team? Ready to defeat some more?
Mm-hmm!
Alrighty! Let's go!
Yeah!
