A Wish to Grab Happiness

Episode 584: The Two Forces of the Continent

King's Capital Archer. The heart of the continent's culture.The meaning of this city at the end of glory and glory is not just the capital of the great garrison.

This was undoubtedly the center of the continent more than before the Garrison.When the great hero Altia built the united empire, she laid her throne here.

That is why it can be said that the Catholic Church and the Garrison Kingdom, which are the foundations of the Ultimate faith, were always related to the honeymoon.

Still today, the Garrison people insist that the entire continent should be in their hands.We cannot say that we are the direct family of the great empire.

That is why they have repeatedly fought aggressive battles and defensive wars.Some have perished, others have fled.

But now the flag of the Sigil, which was supposed to be destroyed, is on the king's capital.What do you mean by this without saying irony?

"Oops - you arrived quite early.Heroes are always busy. "

The splendid decoration of the King's Capital is suppressed.As he entered the corner of the table, the Virgin Matthia, who had been waiting for him earlier, said as a matter of course.Her pale eyes, which I haven't seen in a long time, have an unclean glow of something that doesn't hide her fatigue.

"... don't be sarcastic.Besides, Anne taught me to start at this hour. "

"I see, did Ann do it?If that's the case, I know.She likes the way you hold the rope. "

I've been hit. I thought it was strange.When Ann came to tell me the time of the military council, I should have read that there was a back story.Apparently, they specified a pretty early time.

I had no choice but to sit down on the spot and swallow the biting cigarette to my teeth.It seemed like it would take some time for Phyllos and the others to get together.

Since Princess Philos was officially crowned, it is not necessary to conduct military discussions in a state of separation.You should be able to do it in a majestic room in the palace.

However, I was summoned to the separation chamber today.In other words, there is an approximate expectation that you will talk about something you do not want to be overstated.

Zebrelilis is dead, and the catastrophe is over.But the old Royal Army is pointing a blade at our neck.Now, what do we do now?That's what I'm talking about.

"So, how are you feeling, Lugis?"

Matthia said, looking through the parchment at hand without a pulse.Because of her, I'm sure she keeps working as usual.Maybe even while you're talking to me, you've cleared up a few cases.This is an area I can't imagine.

Distorting what was going on, Matthia added words to the wind that said, "Oh no."

"--How does it feel to be an undisputed hero?"

"... if I were an undisputed hero, my grandfather wouldn't be dead."

I shrugged my shoulders and said something I shouldn't say.But I have to think about it, and there are no days when I don't think about it.

The word hero, which should have burned more than anything, is now infected with poison.

If you're a hero, you should try to save everything, and what is the value of the glory that you paid for your grandfather?

"That's not true, Lugis."

But Mattia snapped a razor ring and looked at me.My eyes will catch my spirits, my eyes will catch my eye, my eyes will catch my eyes.

Is it because of the role of the Virgin?She sometimes makes people nervous with one gaze.

"It is true that he lost his life to help you.--That's why you have to be a hero. "

I almost accidentally removed the biting cigarette from my lips.There is something in sight like an unspeakable numbness.

"Did General Richard die just for his husband?I don't think so. If you want his honor, you must pursue it the most.You're the one who put the price tag on his life, Lugis. "

"... that's it.No.... "

For a moment, I swallowed the words.My lips change shape when I try to say something back, but my voice is not going to pop out.

Bite the silence for a few seconds.It painfully made me realize that Matia kept staring at me.Wrinkle between your eyebrows and then remove the biting cigarette from your mouth.

"... no. Yeah, that's right.Exactly. Grandpa didn't die for everyone.Grandpa can't die for that. "

In this way, you should say that Matthia led you.To my surprise, I was not at all uncomfortable.While being instigated by her, there are even signs that her emotions are calming down.

I wonder if it is the Virgin who makes people believe or embrace people.It was enough to think that Ann might have played a play for this.

"Sorry, no, thank you, Matthia.It's a lot easier to understand what I'm supposed to do. "

As she thanked her, Matia pulled her lips up.

"You don't have to thank me.I am your crown, and you said my sword.Do you thank your hands and feet every day you move?

"I think the analogy is too noisy, but it's my fault."

"Yeah, it's my fault.But it's not an analogy.Just remember that. "

Isn't it scarier than an analogy?

But I never talked about it.Before that, the attendees of the military council, who arrived on time, knocked on the door.

Besides, either way, I don't think I ever asked.

Anyway, I felt like if I took another step, it would be irreversible.Besides, it comes to mind behind my eyelids that I was brought out of my marriage before.The sooner you forget about it with alcohol, the more peaceful it was.

It was the Sigilistic people like Ann and the Garrison nobles like Biomondor who showed their faces in the military chamber.If you look at Carlia, Fialert, Eldis, etc., you first gather key people, both politically and militarily.

I don't want to worry too much about Carlia staring at me with strange eyes when she finds me.All the time.

Almost all the men were there, and it was Queen Phyllos who finally arrived in the military chamber.Perhaps he dared to adjust the time.Aware of her royal elegance, she sat at the back of the military chamber.

"- Well, everyone knows what it means to be gathered here.Let's talk about what's coming. "

From now on.

Ann nodded little after receiving the words and the sight from Phyllos.She's a little girl, but she looks more prominent than anyone when she stands up in public with wonder.

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me.As you know, the old Royal Army, the enemy army, went south.The target will undoubtedly be this king, Archer.Because their goal is to reclaim the throne.

They are temporarily stopping at a burn on Fort Medraut.The purpose is presumed to be the build-up of troops. "

"Aggregation, Lord Ann.Where did that come from? The enemy is no longer an army. "

It was Biomondol who spoke.A neighborhood floats beneath the big eyes.He was supposed to be an honest martial arts man, but the rumor that he hasn't slept much since he was driven out of politics seemed true.He does not hesitate to pinch his words in front of the queen during the military council.

When asked, Ann raised two fingers and folded one.

"One is reinforcement from the cathedral.They should know that there is no future for them.This is undoubtedly the body of the old kingdom and cathedral.According to the scouts, this alone is about 100,000 troops. "

The word 100,000 transforms the indoor air into something painful.Just as liquor has changed the taste many times in the mouth, the victory liquor of last night has now turned bitter.

But Ann folds another finger if it's not the only one.

"The other thing is, the West is moving."

"... Western Union, Loa.I thought he wasn't interested in anything other than himself. "

It was Carlia who sandwiched her mouth.Her parents are supposed to be guarding the western frontier fortress Coryden.There may have been contact with the West, good or bad.

"As Caria says, they are less interested in things outside the islands.Besides, I heard that I couldn't recover from the Magus disaster... but the cathedral.No, you're under the protection of the Virgin Arieno.I don't know how long it takes to tell the truth.Some say the Knights of the Archbishop have destroyed the Magus of the West. "

Magus. Whatever it is, they are a threat to humanity without exception.If only there were something in the Catholic Church that could have killed it, it would naturally appear to be our enemy.

Nevertheless, it is easy to imagine who it is.Even if he is what he is now, is there anyone else who can do such a trick?

After receiving the words, Eldis opened her mouth while gently fluffing her palm.

"Enemies must have enemy heroes.But I have my knight.Besides, if you feel obliged to help the Western countries to be saved, it would be a beauty talk.Isn't that right, Anne?

"Yes, Eldis.At first glance, this looks like a civil war between the old kingdom and the new kingdom, the Garrison.In fact, there is a side to the next hegemonic struggle. "

Ann talks about the situation while drawing a white line on the black board set up in the military chamber.

The continent is now largely divided into two factions.

The former Royal Army was given by the Western Union Roar and the Cathedral, while the new Royal Army, on the other hand, was close to its alliance with the Eastern Volvato Dynasty and the Southern Elizaldo.In the northwest and south-east of the continent, the boundaries of factions have been clearly defined.

It can be said that the surrounding countries are taking advantage of the civil war in the Garrison Kingdom, sitting in the middle of the continent, to carry out a battle that will occupy the situation in the future.

"Just as the enemy received reinforcements from the west, we also received word of reinforcements from the Volvat Morning and Elizabeth, but I wonder how far the force gap will be filled."

"... no, but..."

Ann groaned unexpectedly looking at the difference between the faction map and the force drawn on the white line.It's not a big deal, but a lot of questions arise.

"Both Volvato and Elizaldo have been very helpful to us.It would be a good idea to see which one they came up with. "

It is only natural that we should be more powerful if we are on our side.It is not always in their interest to give to the new kingdom if they are unaware of the existence of the Altia.

Rather, it is likely to be in the national interest to knock down a weaker opponent after either wins while sitting still.

Make it Mastigios, the magic general of Volvato, and Tersarat, the senior fighter of Elizaldo.I am not a person who moves with personal emotions.If the state needs it, it should make the necessary choices to do so.

Immediately after I said that, for some reason, the military chamber calmed down for a moment.I don't think they poked me with falsehood, but there are signs that everyone searched for words.

The firing alert gently stirred up the black hair.

"Well, I don't think so, yeah.But Elizabeth has ties to the old kingdom, and of course... no, Volvato will want to protect his alliance until he's rebuilt. "

At the same time, Ann uttered words to eat.

The word of the firing alert is also true, but the story is simpler, Hero.

Speaking of heroes, I didn't think I'd been called by that name in a long time.Is that what Ann used to call me?

For the first time in a long time, she says with a smile.

"--Everyone is watching out for you, Hero.Should I say I'm scared? "
