Sentenced to Be a Hero (勇者刑に処す 懲罰勇者9004隊刑務記録)

This peril will strengthen the bonds between military and Temple more than ever.

Those bonds are what will bring humanity our victory.

Uncle.

I am moved by your words, Uncle.

May Saint Mahaeyzel protect us.

Now, let's go on the attack.

Uncle!

I'd like to learn more about the current situation.

Which unit first noticed the faeries in the city?

Ioff City Defense Force Unit 7110.

A few of their number survived, but they're in no condition to talk now.

Understood.

Farewell, then.

Well, they have their inroad.

Guess I'll head back to work.

Prepare for combat!

Sniper Captain Siena, slow them down, would you?

Cavalry Captain Zofflec, we are in place.

All units...

Open fire!

There we go.

Now! Send them scattering!

Follow them! We'll clean up any they missed!

Let's secure the area!

Yes, sir!

Not bad.

We can leave this much to their Holy Knights.

We must continue our investigation into Demon Lord Spriggan.

Sentenced to Be a Hero

Sentenced to Be a Hero

Tatsuya, go!

Is that a new faerie?

A humanoid one. They're fighting their own kind?

We're human. Open the door.

Human?

That sacred seal...

A penal hero?

Open up already!

The faeries will be calling in reinforcements.

You wanna die in there?

You won't last long hiding out like that.

Xylo, that is no way to handle this situation.

Attention! Civilians!

Attention, civilians. I am the goddess Teoritta.

I have come here to save you all.

I ask for your swift cooperation.

That's right, civilian friends.

Your shelter is in a very precarious position.

But don't you worry now.

The Shining Goddess of Swords, Teoritta,

and the Thunder Falcon, Xylo Forbartz, are here to save the day.

Goddess?

Thunder Falcon?

Isn't that...

Knock it off.

Whoops.

Where'd you hear that "Thunder Falcon" crap?

The rumors reached me even in my lonely cell.

You've earned quite a positive reputation.

Shut your stupid—

Xylo, that is quite enough.

The Shining Goddess of Swords and the Thunder Falcon.

It is like we are champions of legend.

We need to get them into fighting shape.

Rhyno, teach them how to use lightning staffs.

Sure. It would be my pleasure.

I'll strive not to disappoint you, Comrade Xylo.

But I do wish to ask your advice on one matter.

We should decide which civilians we allow to die first.

You...

The elderly should be considered the most expendable, yes?

They've already had longer lives than the children. It's fairer if they—

Were you really expecting me to just nod along to that?

Oh, you consider this unethical?

We fight to ensure the best outcome until it's no longer a possibility.

Only then do we even consider the possibility of civilian sacrifices.

Reinforcements already?

Xylo. You're not done here yet?

What a slowpoke.

Looks like I win this round, too.

Thank you, Comrade Jayce. Comrade Neely.

Let me offer you gratitude on behalf of the evacuees.

Shut up, asshole.

Dotta, what's my next target?

O-Oh, actually...

This is pretty bad.

There's someone in black armor on that red tower.

Artillery?

Neely!

Tracking shells, huh?

He won't be any help to us like that.

Rhyno, Teoritta, and I will go after Tui Jia.

You and Tatsuya stay here and hold the warehouse to the death.

You got it.

Let us all work together to overcome this trial.

After all, if you were to reject me, I'd no longer have a place in this world.

Whatever that means. Creep.

Okay.

Come. It is time to show our bonds and courage.

Let us fight together...

for the peace and victory of humanity.

Oh? That's a surprise.

That dragoon must be pretty nimble on his mount to dodge a barrage like that.

We can't afford to leave that dragon at large.

Iron Whale, I need you to rid us of the problem.

You'll need to do something about the ones approaching on foot, then.

Artillery and close-range combat don't mix.

You'll be facing the goddess killer, won't you?

Yes. He's a powerful foe.

Worthy of respect.

You really are a strange one.

I thought you Demon Blight freaks were more savage than this.

Many are.

But not me.

I have no hatred of humans.

Their approaching destruction makes them all the more deserving of respect.

That's something I don't like about Spriggan. The complete lack of respect.

The only one who appreciates my perspective is my king.

Your king?

So even Demon Lords have lords?

Ah, I've said too much.

This conversation is over.

Wouldn't dream of prying.

In my business, people who know too much are the first on the chopping block.

The goddess killer is coming.

I rather like humans like him.

But I must kill him.

Everything I do is for my king.

Captain Kivia.

We've secured the area around the government offices.

What do you recommend next?

Captain Kivia?

I'm sorry, but I'll need you three handling the action on the ground.

There's something I need to take care of.

I'm sorry. I can't explain further.

It's fine.

I pledged to stay with you to the end, no matter what, Captain.

It was the same at Couveunge, remember?

You're the one who taught me to wield a sword, Captain Kivia.

I'll return to my post.

Rajit.

Ma'am?

I'm going to tell you something I can't tell anyone else.

In case something happens to me...

Comrade Xylo, I'm in position.

The people in the warehouse had better still be alive.

Yup. No problems whatsoever.

Comrade Tatsuya's doing his thing.

I never knew he could use lightning staffs, too.

We should be glad he's on humanity's side

and show him a bit of gratitude.

Venetim! Is Tsav ready yet?

It may take a bit longer.

It appears the faeries have reached the inland district, so...

Teoritta. Are you ready?

Yes. Let us begin.

For humanity!

We might both die in the process,

but unlike me, you've only got one life.

But your memories are lost with each death, are they not?

I will protect your memories.

Then, you need only protect my life.
