Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

The battle between the Kingdoms of Granfram and the Kingdom of Merica ended with the victory of the Kingdom of Granfram. Not only was the invading Merika kingdom unable to fulfill its objectives in an attempt to capture the royal city, but the kingdom of Gramhuram was inflicting damage on the invading armies of the Merika kingdom so that the winners and defeats could be clearly seen. Was.

The command line was destroyed by the fall of the headquarters where Princess Olivia, the commander, was. The Army of the Merika was not attacked by the turmoil, but was attacked by the Army of Granfram. Attack by the waiting interceptor and reinforcements including the demon suppression forces.

There was no decent battle between the controlled Glanfram kingdom and the Merika kingdom, which was fighting individually, and the Melia army had no choice but to retreat to its own country. Even in the withdrawal battle, the succulently pursued Merika kingdom suffered severe damage, as King Granfram wanted.

However, this is based on the assumption that half of the interceptors have not been wiped out, and the Grand Flam Kingdom has yet to grasp the safety of half of them.

"... why not found?"

After receiving reports from the intelligence service, the king is not entirely convinced.

"We continue our search, but if most of the army has already fled to our home country and we cannot find it in that situation ..."

The battle in the southeast is almost over. Nevertheless, the whereabouts of the units that would have been behind the Merika Kingdom were unknown. Intelligence has reported that it was most likely taken down by the Kingdom of Merica.

"So why can't you find the body?"

"I may have been taken prisoner."

"Do you say all ten thousand troops have been taken prisoner?"

"that is……"

I can't imagine such a situation. Even so, the Merika Kingdom should tell you something. The loss of the losing kingdom is great. Right now, he should be in a position to be afraid of the invasion of the Grand Flam Kingdom. If you have thousands of POWs, you can't use them as bargaining material to prevent an invasion.

"What is intelligence doing ?!"

I won the battle. However, the king's mood has always been worst. The king lamented that he had lost Lion in an interception battle. Not only as king but also as father.

The worst thing for the king is that he has no way to comfort the queen, who is going mad in sadness. I met my child who thought I would never see him again. The joy was so great that the Queen's sadness over having lost it again was enormous.

"... I'm working hard to gather information. However, in this case, the intelligence department has suffered considerable human damage."

Many in the intelligence department, which was responsible for the information network during the interceptions, are also largely unknown.

"So why are you here?"

"Huh?"

"If there are not enough people, move on! Why is it safe in the first place?"

It is James, the head of intelligence, who is reporting. Why did James, who should have been on Lion's side, return to the royal capital?

"I explained it. I lost contact with the various units, and led my subordinates to move on to confirm. In the meantime, the kingdom of the United States."

Attacks the command post where Lions were. Fortunately, James, who was not there, was able to return to the royal capital without being involved in the raid. This is the reason.

James has explained this to the King many times. The king's attitude toward James is like eight.

"... Attack the Merika Kingdom. Hurry up and build your army."

The King's gaze turned to the Commander of the Knights of the Kingdom.

"that is……"

"Did you not hear me? Lead the army immediately and destroy the kingdom of Merica!"

"It's impossible."

Only the commander of the Knights of the Guards can say these words calmly to the angry King.

"... a king's order"

The opponent is the commander of the Knights of the Guard, and the king is also feeling down. That doesn't mean he's going to overturn the order right away.

"Even if it is, it is the duty of the ministry to say that impossible is impossible."

"Why is it impossible? I've been reported to have defeated many enemies."

"Also nearly 10,000 soldiers are missing here, and above all, the demon has not yet been defeated. I can't afford to invade other countries."

Continue invading the Merika Kingdom while continuing to defeat the witches. If this can be done, the Kingdom of Merica will not attack in the first place. This time I won. But this did not create an overwhelming difference in strength.

"... Do you say that you should be patient without being attacked?"

"No way. The price should be paid exactly, but it's not diplomacy, but diplomacy."

"Now you have defeated the enemy."

"If you are thinking about defeating the enemy in the war between nations, you will not end until you eradicate the enemy."

"It is not!"

The king wants to defeat Leon's enemies. It's not the commander of the Knights who do not know. I know and am in love. In the first place, the commander of the Knights of the Guard did not believe that Rion was dead.

"Even if we fight, how about organizing the situation first?"

"It's sort of situation?"

"Near ten thousand troops are missing. If you were safe, where would you be?"

"……What did you say?"

The king thought that much had been defeated, not to mention looking for it. But the words of the Knights of the Guards indicate that it could exist safely.

"Is there a chance that millions of troops cannot be found and found? It would be even more so if they were all dead."

"Where are you?"

"If you can't find our country and find it, there's only one place left. The place is a bit large."

"... I'm in the Merika Kingdom"

"There is no possibility"

"... What do you know?"

There is some basis for the commander of the Guard Knight to say such a thing. The king is well aware that he is not a guesswork character.

"There are no soldiers in the Band ド ゥ territory. It seems that Viscount Frey has left the territory for a long time. Those who sent to the Band ド ゥ territory came back to report the situation and reported that I'm sorry. "

"... what is it?"

With this information alone, the king did not come to terms. I know Bandu has moved, but that doesn't mean that the army is in the Kingdom of Merica.

"Bandu's troops have not been found in the country. There is no evidence that they have entered other territories. Where have they disappeared?"

"... Speak clearly, don't bother. That's your bad habit."

The king's feelings have calmed down to such an expression. Somehow, the situation has come to light.

"I want you to think a little. You have disappeared from your territory without any evidence of entering another territory. There is only one way you can do that. You have crossed the border. Did you need to exceed? "

"So talk on your own"

"... At all. As I said before, there is no confirmation from here."

"do not worry"

"Obviously, Bandu's army would not move without the life of his lord, Rion. If we crossed the border, it would be because of Rion's command. So there is one thing we know. It was predicting the current situation. "

The surroundings begin to be turbulent at the explanation of the commander of the Guard Knight. Most of them were purely surprised, and some had pale faces. The commander of the Guard knight casually confirmed such a reaction.

"Why do you think so?"

"First of all, Miss Eriel did not accompany me in this fight. It's impossible for them to be because it's dangerous."

Eriel has accompanied all previous battles and is indeed standing on the battlefield. Rion's mission is special, but it doesn't seem like a commander of the Guard Knights to stop him. Rion and Aeriel are not afraid of death, but have an atmosphere of acceptance. The commander of the Guard Knight has always felt so.

"Did you intend to lead Bandu's army from the beginning?"

"I don't know if you're leading an army, but you were going to enter the battlefield with Bandu's army."

"... But the main force of Bandu's army was to defeat the evil spirits. What can you do with a few, like a reserve squad?"

"It's delicate whether the remaining territory is a reserve squad. According to the information, it seems that he is called the Guard Guard."

"Rion's guards ..."

The king thinks that Leon's direct force is just enough.

"I don't know how good it is, but I don't know if it's small. Which country is beyond the border of Bandhu?"

"Maybe Ox and Hashiu are cooperating?"

This is a little problem. It is not a good thing to overlook the fact that allied sovereigns can move their troops on their own, no matter how many opponents they are.

"As I said, this is just speculation. But for Leon, Miss Airiel is likely to move, even in the United Kingdom."

The Guard Knight deliberately joked and spoke. I don't care about the story of Ox and Hashiu.

"It's because of that couple"

The king knew it, and adapted to the story of the commander of the Guard Knight.

"I will send my men to the Kingdom of Merica immediately."

At this point, James caught his mouth. This is necessary to get the story out of the commander of the Guard Knight.

"Now it's time to go. Even if Rion is leading the army and fighting in the Kingdom of Merica, it's not really about an invasion. It's just asking for a way out."

"If so, shouldn't we still be there and send a rescue army?"

"The rescue army is on its way. I don't know what kind of battle it's going to be, but that guy wouldn't have to fight in vain. It's not crazy. It's better to keep in touch than to move badly. "

"……I've acknowledged"

Despite his dissatisfied expression, James uttered his consent. If it was exactly what the Guard Knight said, he knew it was too late.

"I have no choice but to hope for the command of the commander of the Knights of the Guard now, and I'm not ready for diplomatic negotiations. Let's move on to the post-war reconstruction of the territory that has become the battlefield."

"Hah, so this time ..."

The atmosphere of the king is quite soft, unlike just before. He believes the story of the Guard Knight is true. That is not a mistake. In fact, Lion is fighting in the Merika Kingdom. However, the commander of the Knights of the Guard has not yet spoken everything.

There were still stories we couldn't talk about here. When you hear that, the story that the king feels bad again.

◇◇◇

Headquarters of the Merika Kingdom invasion army. That wasn't a huge number. It was just an escort of Princess Olivia, the general commander.

That was the bad luck of the Kingdom of Merica. Rion's 9,000 Glan Flam troops weren't just knocked out of the fort, they were driven away and fled home.

But that was a while.

After all, he was running away in his territory. The surrounding aristocracy and the garrisons of the army who knew about the situation gathered on the battlefield one after another and became overwhelmed by numbers.

From there the situation is reversed. The Grand Flam Kingdom should have fled, but things are not going as well as the Merika Kingdom wants.

"Attack on! Don't let go!"

Princess Olivia's fiery resounds on the battlefield. Although the Grand Fulham Army is continuing to retreat, it is far from running away, and it is in a very controlled movement.

While continuing to retreat, if he finds a chance, he will violently attack. The army of the United Kingdom was a mixed army with the aristocratic army, and despite its lack of movement, the response was impressive.

"Magic unit! Beat the enemy avant-garde!"

Following the command of Princess Olivia, the magicians of the magic unit began chanting at once. There, magic from the Grand Flam Kingdom comes in.

It's not a huge number, but it's an attack on a defenseless chant. Several magicians were hit directly and fell on the spot.

"... again, what's going on?"

The same situation has continued many times. Placing a magic squad forward in order to perform a magic attack will always lead you first. The number is overwhelmingly the Merika Kingdom. But Princess Olivia feels that the gap has certainly narrowed. While their army's magic is declining, there is no sign that the number of enemy magic is going to decrease.

Attack magic is released from a magician who was not attacked. But most were shot down before reaching the enemy. There is no indication that other magic did not damage the enemy.

Magic attacks are not absolute. Depending on the type, it can be prevented with a knight's shield if it has the power of intermediate magic. Then you can use advanced magic, but then you will consume more magical power and you will not be able to shoot numbers. You can't use it unless you can hit the enemy and deal more effective damage.

This is one of the reasons why magic, which is absolutely superior in individual battles, is not so great in war.

"Let's lower the front line!

Nevertheless, Princess Olivia has chosen to use advanced magic. You can't escape the Grand Fulham Army here. The battle so far has been a series of humiliations that Princess Olivia has never experienced. He never turned his back on an enemy and ran away.

However, this is an excuse that the number of troops was still small. But even now that number surpasses the enemy, the situation is not much different. As expected, he no longer escapes, but when he sees his own troops being driven away by enemies, his body shakes with anger.

"... Defeat the enemy! Aqua Storm!"

The chanting is over, and a water element magic that swirls like a tornado in the air has appeared. As it swells, it heads for the Grand Flam Army. Involved in the magic, many soldiers should fly in the air, but before reaching the avant-garde of the Grand Flam Fleet, it would be prevented by a single man. Just do a crushing gesture that you hold in your palm.

"... What is it? Who is it! Who is that guy?"

It is no exaggeration to say that the hardship in the United Kingdom is due to this man alone. The commander of the Grand Fulham Army and the astounding magician have prevented the attack on the Merika Kingdom.

"Rion Frey. I've heard the rumors, but I didn't think this was it. It's stunning."

Yuri Stewart, the guardian knight of Princess Olivia, is impressed.

"... Is a monster a stronger enemy than I thought?"

It seems that Princess Olivia calmed down a little with Yuri. Changes in wording indicate this. That's exactly what Yuri is aiming for.

"I don't know, but the rumors of a hero appearing on Grand Flam seemed to be less exaggerated."

Lyon's rumors had reached the Kingdom of Merica. When spread within the Grand Flam Kingdom, it is heard by the Kingdom of Merica. The Kingdom of Merica is essential for gathering information on enemy countries. That's why I thought the invasion was successful.

The miscalculation is that he misunderstood the power of Rion and, before that, did not expect that the local lord, Rion, would be in a position to command the interceptor.

"If you miss it, you'll be a real hero. I can't forgive it."

"Yes, I know, but don't be impatient. Let's make sure to put Rion Frey first."

"Yes, I wanted to hide my back hand."

"Once you've defeated, you can remain hidden. I'll send a messenger to your opponent. If you block behind at the expected location, there's no escape. You can defeat Rion Frey and not just the entire invading army."

"Yes. I hope that will happen."

The Kingdom of the United States has decided to use his hidden hand. But they don't know. That it is no longer a deep hand. Rion also has a hidden hand.
