King's Raid: Successors of the Will (キングスレイド 意志を継ぐものたち)

One hundred years have passed since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again, threatening the world, spreading fear and unrest to all.

In order to investigate the Demonic threat,

the Guardian Knights of Orvelia decided to go on an expedition to the Galluah Plains.

The Black Edge was chosen to serve as the vanguard.

You all went from cold stares to hero.

I'm sure it makes your drinks taste better.

Once the Demons are gone, everyone will forget what we did.

That's why we need absolute status.

The Entrance

to the Abyss

Demon! The Black Edge will defeat you!

Same here! The Black Edge will defeat you!

That makes no sense!

It's the Black Edge!

Awesome!

It's the real one!

So cool!

What are they doing here?

Princess Scarlet invited them.

Greetings, everyone.

I've brought my companions.

Good work. The princess will greet you now. Your Highness.

I am Scarlet. Thank you all for coming.

Yo!

Good to finally meet you, Princess!

Hey, read the room!

--Cut it out. --The princess should have the right to choose.

I suppose?

Stop.

Riheet did mention how brave you are.

I hope to see that energy put to good use in this upcoming expedition.

Yeah, count on it!

Can't say no to a pretty princess!

Insolent fools...

It's fine.

Everyone, listen up.

Within the knightly order, I am not a princess. I am the supreme commander.

I will be accompanying you on this investigation of the Demons.

I hope to be on good terms with you.

Tomorrow morning, we depart and head towards Galluah Plains.

This expedition could determine the nation's-- no, the fate of the entire world.

Demia will explain the details.

Demia.

Yes!

Our goal is the ruins of the Republic of Grey in the Galluah Plains.

We will take the road facing the Forest of Elidora and enter the plains.

From there, we will head straight towards the castle in the Republic of Grey.

That castle is exactly where the Dark Lord Angmund appeared 100 years ago.

The Demons destroyed the nation, so the entire area is in ruin now.

If there is a force there attempting to bring back the Dark Lord,

we must stop them, at all costs.

You will be our vanguard.

I must admit, however, that I have some worries about your ability to coordinate.

There's no need for that. We'll bring back some Demon heads as a souvenir.

You should just wait here for us.

Yeah, no need for the whole party. We'll be fine alone!

They don't seem committed to the idea of being part of the knightly order.

Agreed.

This is worrying.

You there.

Hmm? Me?

Yes. Help me get warmed up.

Clause, you will observe.

Yes.

You should know, the princess is tough.

Don't let your guard down, or you could get hurt.

Hah. I look forward to that.

Give me everything you've got.

And... begin!

You're light on your feet.

But your strike is also light. You don't have to hold back.

Come on, I'd be in trouble if you got hurt!

Wow...

Impressive.

You...!

Stop!

What's wrong, Azal? Scared of the princess?

That's not your style!

I just went easy on her!

Does anyone else want a match?

I trust in you. I hope you will trust in us knights as well.

I see. That's why you did this.

The quickest way to earn your trust is to show my power, is it not?

Interesting princess.

It's true, she's definitely not a pushover.

Lord Moriham, why did you call us here?

I must discuss something with you regarding the Black Edge.

What is it?

You are aware that Riheet and the knights are going to Galluah Plains, yes?

Of course.

Because Princess Scarlet invited them into the castle, the nobles are in an uproar!

We are stuck with the task of calming them. I want no more trouble.

Then this will be the last time.

If and when the Black Edge return from this expedition,

I'd like to give Riheet the title of Honorary Noble.

Nobility?!

Why do you believe we would allow such a thing?!

It's not an unreasonable request.

I'm just saying, the savior of the nation should have the appropriate standing.

I oppose this! We allowed those mercenaries to join the knights!

Isn't that enough?!

He's right! Lord Moriham, why are you so supportive of them?!

For the nation, of course.

To defend our kingdom from the Demons, the Black Edge must remain on our side.

Lord Schmidt, I'd like to hear your opinion.

M-Me...?

I... I agree.

Huh?

Lord Schmidt?!

Yes, thank you!

Speak truthfully. What are you plotting?

There is no plot. All I desire is world peace, Lord Menos.

Your wealth, your land... Those things are valuable to you, are they not?

Only those who side with me would be able to protect them.

The Black Edge will be great guard dogs.

Th-The chancellor will never allow that to happen...

In that case, we would need to remove him from the picture.

This nation will now be driven by us.

We can create the nation we desire.

The four of us, with the strongest soldier-- no, hero by our side.

Your Highness, please wait!

I will not wait.

Your Highness, please rethink this!

You yourself heading out to the Galluah Plains...?

We've discussed that many times already. Have you forgotten? Have you gotten that old?

Certainly not! I am well aware of your role as supreme commander.

However, should you be injured, the king's heart would be so deeply hurt...

Father will understand. You are the only stubborn one here.

Your Highness...!

Oh, if only we had the Holy Sword Aea... None of this would...

We can't just wish for something we don't have. We must defend our own nation!

Clause! Great timing. I need to discuss tomorrow's plans with you.

Yes.

Your Highness!

Stubborn, just like your father...

Thank you. As you see, Behl worries too much.

The chancellor cares for you sincerely, from the bottom of his heart.
