Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

The end of the battle is the beginning of the next battle

Shortly after the border with the Kingdom of Ox, the army of the Grand Flam has retreated. After that, it just crosses the hilly area that is the buffer area of the border. So you can escape into the territory of the Ox kingdom.

However, at the entrance to the hill, the Grand Flam Fleet stopped moving and began to form. There is no sign of attacking. The team on the Grand Flam side is a team with an emphasis on defense.

"... Did you notice it?"

Seeing the appearance of the Grand Fulham Royal Army, Princess Olivia shouted uneasy. At this point, there is no other reason for the Kingdom of Granfram to stop marching.

"Even so, if you come this far, you just push in."

"I agree"

In this hilly terrain, the strategy of the Kingdom of the United Kingdom is to block the exit of the Grand Flam Army, pinch it, and eventually bring it to the siege annihilation. You should be ready for that.

"Now, let's advance the army. Advance the avant-garde! Shatter the Grand Flam Kingdom!"

At the command of Princess Olivia, the vanguards of the Merika Kingdom began to advance in unison. In this vanguard alone, the number is equal to the number of the Grand Flam Army.

A chase battle for the Merika Kingdom has now begun, which we do not know how many times.

And the war situation is the same as before. The Merikan kingdom has not been able to defeat the Grand Flam kingdom.

To overcome the situation, Princess Olivia decided to move.

"... I'm going to the middle army."

"Will the siege be delayed?"

At the point where the vanguard pushed the enemy, the Central Army advanced from both the left and right wings and built a siege. This is the original strategy. Actively attacking the Central Army is different from the original plan.

"Before that, we had to push the Glan Flam army into the hilly terrain. The middle army's delay was compensated by the rear guard. This is the time for the entire army to fight."

"……I understand"

The rear army is the army of this headquarters with Princess Olivia and Yuri. Yuri was a little hesitant in bringing this to the fore, but decided to believe in the words of Princess Olivia, called the War Goddess.

The number of troops more than doubled as the Kingdom of the Merica sent the front to the front. Indeed, the Grand Flam Fleet was unable to withstand this pressure and began to retreat slowly.

"Shrink the distance from the front"

"Hah"

With the prospect of pushing the Grand Fram kingdom to the planned location, Princess Olivia decided to move the rear guard forward. To build a siege quickly.

It is a sign that an army that surprises the Grand Flam Army from behind appears. The rear guard began to move forward in preparation for that time.

"Early! Why did you come out!"

A battle flag stood on a hill behind the Grand Army. A battle flag depicting a sparrow that stops on the crescent moon in the black indicating the Ox Kingdom. He has not yet pushed the Grand Fulham Army into a position suitable for complete siege. It is not clogged to the planned distance.

"Hurry forward! Close the left side of the Grand Flam Kingdom!"

"A messenger to the Central Army! Cover the right side of the Glam Fulham Army!"

In order to take the siege to a siege at once, the Royal Army of the Merika began to move significantly. The movement is hurried, as the Grand Flam may have noticed the intention. The Ox Kingdom battle flag, which appeared to the rear, attacked the Grand Flam Kingdom Army.

"It's ridiculous! I just need to block the back! I'm not going to betray the betrayal!"

Princess Olivia can't hide her frustration from a friend who doesn't move as expected. The army of the Grand Fulham seems to be upset by the betrayal of his allies, but behind it is full of gaps. The siege has collapsed.

"Hurry! At least the rear is completely closed!"

Although he was going to settle here, Princess Olivia gave up on it and put priority on closing the exit. I thought it would work as long as it stayed in the Kingdom of Merica.

The garrison, led by Princess Olivia, hastened her way past the front line and going further back from the left side of the Grande Fram Kingdom. Show the sides of the extended platoon to the Grand Flam Kingdom Army.

There, two phoenixes were fired from the Grand Flam Kingdom Army.

"Oh, that?"

It is clear what it is. Attribute magic of fire and wind. However, it was a magic to see for the first time, and I was surprised at its hugeness.

"Develop defense magic! Hurry!"

Olivia quickly recovered from the startle, instructed her allies, and began chanting herself.

Various defense magic that spreads in the air. Among them, the enormous defensive magic was unfolded by Princess Olivia.

But this response is useless. The magic released from the kingdom of Granfram attacks as if it were a living phoenix, escaping the deployed defense magic.

The two phoenixes became intertwined above the rear guard's head and exploded.

A blast blows soldiers of the Merika Kingdom Army in the air. There was a hole in the rear guard's platoon.

"... What is that?"

Princess Olivia stunned at an incredible situation. Princess Olivia had never heard of the magic of free movement, as if she had a will.

Rion had been hiding it all the time and fighting. Rion also thought that this was the land of settlement. No more hiding your back hand.

The kingdom of Grand Flam, disguised as confusion, has already stopped its camouflage and is reshaping its formation. From among them, the cavalry jumps out with Rion at the top.

Disturb the enemy's formation with a large-scale magical attack, assault it with a horse, and stop the enemy's center. There is no difference from the battle with the demon.

The only difference is that you are led by the Tiger's Guard Guards.

"... what is that?"

A cavalry squad that jumped out of the Grand Flam Kingdom Army. Princess Olivia was worried about calling it a horse. It is straddled by a Knight of the Grand Flam, which has a distinctly different character from a horse. The forehead has long and thick horns.

It is impossible for Princess Olivia to know, but it is a guard hunting monster squad that gathers the same kind of monsters as Nightmare and creates them.

"... a monster?"

I don't even know Yuri asked. From the standpoint of the Guard Knight, there is no opportunity to exterminate monsters. I have never seen a beast.

All you can tell is that the cavalry is incredibly fast.

"Get ready! Intercept the enemy cavalry!"

In a hurry, give instructions to your army. The soldier who received it tried to form a team in front of the cavalry squad, but that didn't work.

Even if the rushing monster pierces the horns, is thrown up into the air, or does nothing to the enemy knight, the monster attack alone destroys the first unit to come forward.

Still, in terms of numbers, the United Kingdom is overwhelmingly large. The knights and soldiers of the rear guards move one after another, but the enemy's feet still do not stop. Many of them are scattered without being able to get close to Matmo with Rion leading.

"……great"

Unexpectedly, a voice of exclamation leaks from Princess Olivia's mouth. So much, Leon's fight was terrible. The magic is always spreading around, and if there is anyone approaching, it will attack.

If so, as soon as Rion turns on the attack, the surrounding spells will turn to prevent the spells and swords from attacking. It is a fighting style without any gap, how to express it correctly, one battle and one sword.

"Her Princess, please drop here"

Yuri has advised her withdrawal, as she cannot prevent Rion's squadron from entering.

"Do you want to run away?"

"Yes, that's right"

Yuri replied clearly that there was no need for extra care now. If Princess Olivia is defeated, it will lose. It will not be a loss in one battle, it will be a big loss for the Kingdom of Merica.

"It seems impossible ..."

"Now?"

More massive magic was being released from the Grand Flam Kingdom to the rear guards. A tornado swirling high in the sky is rampaging, and the rear guard is in chaos.

Rion led the Guard Knights squadron rushing to where Princess Olivia was.

"... Are you a princess?"

Red and blue eyes stare at Princess Olivia.

"You are Viscount Lion Frey"

"Oh, yes. I don't have time to talk slowly. I'm going to be calm and captive."

"I don't allow that."

Yuri draws his sword and breaks in between Lion and Princess Olivia.

"I haven't heard you. By the way, even to the princess. Nightmare, jump."

"what!?"

With Leon on board, Nightmare jumped over Yuri's head and landed beside Princess Olivia's horse. Rion pulls the surprised Princess Olivia's arm off her horse.

Nightmare quickly stomped on the back of Princess Olivia with one foot. A wonderful collaboration.

"Do not move! If you try to imitate poorly, crush it as it is!"

"Coward ..."

"Anyway. Well, if you don't want to kill the princess, retreat."

“…………”

There is no guarantee that Princess Olivia will be released, pulling the army. Yuri couldn't take the action he was told.

"I see. Let's die. Nightmare."

"Oh, oh oh!"

There is no hesitation in Rion. And there's nothing more in Nightmare. Princess Olivia's scream echoed around.

"Hey, stop!"

In a hurry, Yuri raises a voice.

"Deploy the army. The demands are no more and no less. The answer you seek is indispensable."

"……Do you get it"

You can't just kill your princess. No matter what unreasonable demand awaits, Yuri had no choice but to acknowledge.

He gives directions to the entire rear guard as he seeks to find a chance. But this ends in a wasteful exaggeration. Even when the army was ready, she couldn't find a chance to rescue Princess Olivia.

Even if Rion shows a chance, Nightmare does not allow it. The reverse is also true. Yuri has no hands or feet.

Yuri slowly retreated the rear guard, distorting her face so regrettable that she could hear bruxism. Not just the rear guard. Both the Central Army and the Guards.

"Tie the princess up"

Only a short distance after the Royal Army's army, Rion opens her mouth and directs her men.

"What's that?"

Princess Olivia complained about Rion's order.

"A position to complain?"

"I can say this. I am a princess from a country. I am a prisoner, but I have the right to demand the proper treatment."

"Well, are there such promises?"

"It's courtesy."

It is a privilege that can only be granted to royals and noble prisoners. The opposite is true if anyone else is taken prisoner. All human rights are ignored.

"... Can't you rage?"

"If the treatment is kept, we will behave accordingly."

"... Do you lie?"

"No! I'm the Princess of the Kingdom of Merica!"

"It's not grounds to tell a lie. Well, if it's a rule, can't help it. What about treatment?"

"……Please"

Olivia's expression is regrettable when she is demanding proper treatment for her royal family. It was not a request for hospitality, but a humiliation of being tied up, and it was something he said.

"Then I'll ask you Airiel.

"Yes, leave it to me."

Rion turned to Ayriel for help and a physical examination.

Aeriel first removes the sword on her waist, and helps others take off her armor. Pick up the dagger you wore beneath it and explore the whole body for anything else hidden.

While you're doing it, you should be pretty hurt, but Princess Olivia is still standing still. At least it's a mean.

After confirming that no weapons were available, Eriel cast a healing magic on Princess Olivia. It's not like a cut, so it won't heal completely, but it's still going to be pretty painful.

In fact, Princess Olivia stood up in a seemingly silent way.

"Do not ride on horses. If you want to ride, accept tying your limbs."

"... I won't flee."

"Bad, but I don't live the way I can believe those words."

"Do you want to keep walking?"

"It's not long, until a carriage is ready."

"... when was that story?"

"Ask him, Prince Alex behind him. If you have it, Prince Alex."

"... Prince Alex?"

Looking back at Princess Olivia, she saw a face she had seen, trying to hide behind her. Princess Olivia is familiar with Prince Alex of the Kingdom of Ox.

"I see, you are in a carriage. What kind of carriage are you looking forward to?"

"Um, um, um, yeah. Let's prepare a fine carriage that meets Princess Olivia's expectations."

"Yes. I hope. But did you want the Ox Kingdom to meet your expectations in a different way, if possible?"

"It's ..., there are many things here ..."

In line with the Kingdom of Merica, the Kingdom of Ox should have invaded Gran Fulham. Rather than dismiss this secret, he turns over on an important battlefield. For Olivia, she is an unacceptable traitor.

It was the Airdiel-led Bandou territory and the Hashiu kingdom that made Ox kingdom do it. Almost at the same time as the invasion of the United Kingdom began, the two troops invaded the Ox Kingdom with the implementation of the alliance as a shield. With Bandu's troops alone, they had the option of fighting, but not with the Hashiu kingdom. There is no big difference between Ox and Hashiu. Even more, if the invasion of the Kingdom of Merika was exposed to the Kingdom of Granfram and was ready to intercept, it would be impossible to get to the Kingdom of Merica.

"Did they know each other?-That was good."

Watching the two exchange, Leon talks to Prince Alex.

"Even though I knew ..."

Prince Alex is not stupid. Leon knows that he has a secret agreement between the Kingdoms of Ox and the Kingdom of Merica, and knows he has used it.

It was so fit that it came to the worst situation for the Kingdom of Merica, where the princess would become a prisoner. In this case, you have no choice but to continue following the Grand Flam Kingdom.

But Leon goes beyond Prince Alex's idea.

"Then, after that, the princess will be kept in the Ox kingdom, because a princess of a great power can't be taken care of in Bandeau."

"... what is it now?"

"I will have the princess later, so thank you."

"Are you serious?"

"If you're acquainted, I think the princess is comfortable too. You'll need to come to Bandhu at least once, but if you can think about going sightseeing."

"……Really"

Prince Alex can't read Rion's intentions. There is no doubt that he knows that he has betrayed the Grand Flam Kingdom. Even so, she wants to leave Princess Olivia. Do you want to escape, or do you think the Ox Kingdom will not betray you anymore? Prince Alex considered the former.

Rion's lack of loyalty to the Grande Fulham kingdom is hard to investigate and he is convinced.

"What are you saying?"

Lion has no loyalty, but there are those who do. One of them is Sol. I was convinced that the battle had ended, and I had left the team.

"What are you doing?"

"He has taken the princess of the Kingdom of the Merika as a prisoner.

"I am the captive, so the princess is mine."

In a very misleading statement, Princess Olivia dyed her cheeks red, and Aeriel stared at it with tight eyes.

"What are you thinking?"

Sol did not make any misconceptions. I'm seriously getting angry.

"Sufficient revenge is enough. Not against the Kingdom of Merica."

"……what?"

Sol has become accustomed to Lyon's sayings. Rion says that outside of the Kingdom of the United States, there are other people who have to avenge. Then it becomes someone.

"I don't know why you didn't notice?"

"... what is it?"

I didn't notice. But it's more abnormal to notice.

"Why do you think the command post was in the United Kingdom?"

"It's a messenger movement or something."

There were quite a few messengers around the command post to connect the units and information. It is enough to feel it abnormal.

"Maybe it is. But if you know that someone is there, it's a command post, how do you know that if you crush it, the information network will collapse? There are thorough intelligence measures around the command post It must have been "

`` The intelligence officer who was the messenger is caught ''

"I was trying to figure out if that happened, what did you say before it came here?-You'll know how much time it takes to gather that squad "

Who, when and where to send and when to return. It was all managed. Not only that, but the messengers sent earlier have certainly reached the target unit. I was to make sure it.

If anyone goes missing, it will almost certainly be known. It may take some time for the information to reach Leon, but it should be faster than troop movement.

"... no evidence"

It is unlikely to remain. With that in mind, Sol put this into words.

"There are witnesses. Princess Hugh Olivia, who is the traitor who sold information to your country?"

"I don't know"

Princess Olivia replied to the promptly asked question. But this answer failed. If you don't know, it sounds like you've acknowledged the traitor. Of course, Rion was asked to answer that.

Now, even if he says there is no traitor, Rion will only pursue further and suggest the existence of a traitor. The result is the same.

"... what are you trying to do?"

Sol received that there were traitors. Then, I'm asking Rion. Rion said he would take revenge. I thought the Grand Flam Kingdom would be a big deal, depending on its content.

"If you don't know, you can't do anything. The suspicious person has a clue, but the mastermind may be elsewhere."

"So what?-It's not you who do nothing."

"Even a suspicious person isn't an easy-going person, so we'll have someone who can do it. We need a princess for that."

"... the kingdom is confused"

"Do you really know?"

Intercepting Sol's words on the way, Rion asks with a stunned face.

"I acknowledge the existence of a traitor."

"That's not the case. You're a betrayal, you're not the only one. All the members of the Knights here are killed by betrayal. Kill nearly 10,000 soldiers Are you okay? Do you want to return to the royal capital where they are? "

"that is……"

Sol realized his failure. Rion's words are not directed to himself, but rather to inform the guards' apprentice knights and members of the Royal Knights Corps who are standing behind them.

Their suspicions will definitely spread to the entire army. The Grand Flam Kingdom loses the trust of its 9,000 troops.

"I want to clean the royal city. Is there a problem with this?"

"……Absent"

I will defeat your rape. It is a common excuse when rebelling. But it is also proof that this pretext has the power to move people. Rion is trying to show it. Now it's a threat. But if he tries to hinder Rion's actions, he may actually do it.

That fear kept Sol from complaining any more.

"Okay, let's go to Bandou right away. I'm nervous in such a place, and I don't want to be afraid if the Kingdom of Merica gets weird. I'm not going to fight against the Kingdom of Merica anymore."

Some took this word as a message from Rion. This is Rion's purpose. The back event has now really ended. The battle is over.

And again, a new struggle begins.

"Don't like me?"

"eh?"

Suddenly asked by Aeriel, Princess Olivia is puzzled.

"So, don't you like Lion?"

"... He's much younger than me, right?"

Princess Olivia is over twenty years old. It is an age that is normally said to be late. He is a soldier and he is spared, so he is allowed to be single.

"Rion was about ten years old and was holding a woman."

"eh?"

"I'm the same or older than you, and I've been dealing with a number of adult women. Rion has grown much older than that."

“…………”

As long as she is a royal family, Princess Olivia is still a maiden even though she is over twenty years old. Airiel's story was a little stimulating.

"... I'm still a child. People like you are dangerous."

Airiel's words have Charlotte in mind. Leon has a relationship when he is actively pressed, but he never loves such a woman. On the contrary, Eriel believes that women who are new to that and only seek emotional relationships are more dangerous.

"... I think you're fine"

"I hope ..."

This is not a new struggle. Just jealous of Aeriel.
