Outside the village of Nortia with a church with Elizabeth.

There was a figure of Leonid in front of the cabin there.

Although it was a slightly old mountain hut on a triangular roof made of a combination of round-tails, it was sturdy and had no place to decay.

Seems like it's because the original owner, Wooddust, designed and processed it properly to live on his own.

Wood dust has been looking for a buyer for several years now because he is old and no longer needs a cabin because he is retiring, and Leonid conveniently listened to the story in the village.

In the woods outside the village, it would be something of a disavowal for the old man.

I saw a well-maintained, not too big or too small cabin, paid a little more than the market, and Leonid had it given way.

From here, you can walk to the church.

It was today that I originally brought in less luggage.

Without unloading yet, Leonid was confronting Oki behind the cabin with his sword in his hand.

It's a big thing, like decades old, and I thought this wouldn't make it fall easily, so I chose it for my workout.

"Wow!"

When I get in the mood, I swing my thoughts down diagonally to the trunk.

There was a blunt sound of doh, and the great sword pierced the tree.

The blade reaches about a quarter of the thick trunk and lacks the writing to cut it as if with an axe.

For those of you who have run many battlefields together so far, there is not one blade spill.

- I'm here. Finally in this land......

Leonid shook his shoulder.

I was short of breath because I shook it down with all my strength - not to joy.

"Ha!"

Again, wave your sword down the trunk with a temper.

Boom, a trajectory so fast and sharp that it doesn't seem like a great sword reaches the trunk at exactly the same angle as earlier.

Now the blade arrived by about half the tree.

A few more punches and you'll fall.

- I talked to Elizabeth, and I even ate hand-cooked food.

Leonid shrugged in his heart without paying attention to the tree he punched in.

I was trembling with joy.

"From someone I know... to a friend or so, could I have been, one day..."

If we stay close, opportunities will surely come around.

You will be able to gradually deepen your intimacy.

- I haven't seen your face in a month, haven't I seen you. Is that an effect? Because it wasn't an aristocratic dress?

I just thought gradually, but my heart hurried.

Usually if you punch in, you should be able to lose your mind, but now only Elizabeth's figure comes to mind.

- I can't stop you!

My thoughts on Elizabeth make my body hot.

Leonid, once again, wielded the Great Sword to dispel the evil.

"Whoa, whoa!

Roaring, wave down the great sword.

Now go on twice, slash.

Any big beast would slap him. It's a punch in.

The sword profoundly pierces the trunk.

- Huh, shit...

I start to hear the mistletoe break and the tree leans.

Eventually, there was a loud noise of Zuzune around him, and he fell.

Kristohardt, the crawleras lord in his gown, who watched the great trees fall out of the window in the distance, laughed bitterly, not single-handedly at the wine.

It's one of the Count's mansions close to the village of Nortia, and it's a favorite.

The mansion, built in the woods, has green walls to blend in, three floors painted white with only window frames.

From the top, it's shaped like two triangular tips together, and the gray roof isn't noticeable again.

In order to have a good view of the territory, Christhalt had deliberately set up his own room and office on the third floor.

From the window of the bedroom you are in, in the eastern direction, you can see the light of life that the inhabitants of the village of Nortia live in.

More than that, the Mansion side, a little further ahead, would be around the neighborhood where there is the cabin of Leonid, the Knight Commander of the neighbouring country, who is also his new friend who has come to the territory.

Yes, just around the corner where Oki fell earlier.

"Whoa!

Again, a roar echoes in the night sky.

Apparently, one Oki isn't enough.

If the lovers were lining up and looking at the stars, what would they be going to do?

Romance shards are gone, too.

- I don't think you can contain your feelings for her if you do that, Leo.

I squeal in my heart towards him, who keeps shaking his sword in the woods.

"Damn...... wolves are loud"

Christhalt said to Daniel, the deacon who refrains on the side.

He is a competent butler who is serving me from Christhalt's father's place, leaving the details of the territorial management largely to me.

He supported the Count family that although he was old enough to come into the presbyterian realm with prominent gray hair, he could not yet be left to the young.

"I'm afraid that, in the“ Great Sword of the Holy Lion ”hall...?

"Well, it's not that big of a difference, is it?

Jokingly return to Daniel's words.

The butler bowed his head only respectfully.

"Totally... what is the Knights Commander doing..."

- But I wonder if my fun as a man has increased.

Kristohardt sometimes smiled alone, recalling when he met Leonid as he carried wine into his mouth.

That was five years ago, at the age of twenty-one, when I had just inherited my title from my father.

Born and able to do nothing without it, Christhalt was just bracketing high that it was an easy thing to get rid of bandits and so on -.

I didn't even think of it as fine dust like losing my life.

At the time, bandit movements were enlivened in the Kingdom of Remaiza.

When we find out what caused it, we find out that the bandits, who were ever small, are making organized moves.

Because one village is attacked, and when the soldiers decide to go to the rescue, a place far from it is attacked, as expected.

In addition, there have been incidents of blockades and attacks not only on villages, but also on medium-sized cities and streets in large numbers, which have given rise to the need to resolve them as a nation as soon as possible.

An armed intelligence agent of the country has quickly pinpointed the bandit's Azito, but it was a frontier mountain in the realm of the Kingdom of Limayza and the realm of the Kingdom of Mowers.

It is not always clear with borders.

If there is a river, etc., it becomes extremely vague, although it can be clearly divided, if it continues, that the border belongs to that country, that is to say, to the vicinity of the nearest village where taxes are paid.

I guess the bandits put Azit on the border for it.

They tried to create a situation in which jurisdiction became obscure and difficult to reach.

At the time, however, relations between the Kingdom of Limayza and the Kingdom of Mowers were good, and those who were competent and tolerant enough to propose and accept cooperation were in charge of politics.

As a result, the two countries, which equally feared the organisation of bandits, would carry out a joint operation to exterminate the bandit Azito.

Joined there were Leonid, the knight of the Kingdom of Mowers, who was still vice-president at the time, and Christhalt, who had just succeeded to the countenance and had been tested for its power.

At the foot of the mountain, where the bandits are in Azit, there were hundreds of soldiers gathered.

Half of the soldiers sent by the Kingdom of Mowers and the other half were private soldiers of the Count Clorreras family, gathered by Christhalt.

There are over a hundred bandits, so I'd like to ask the Knights of the Kingdom of Limayza for backup, but Christhalt's pride didn't allow it.

In the camp, a simple tent is erected for military deliberations and a large folding table is placed in the centre.

There was no chair, and all the participants stood and glanced at the map of the area placed on the table.

"The mountains are here, our camp is here"

There a cloak wrapped Christhalt leaves a wooden carved pawn.

A horseback riding pawn that stood out to the soldiers of his own army, where he is now.

Place the pawn of an infantryman in a bandana who looked out for the bandit in his stomach.

"Middle belly on the north side of the mountain - there's a bandit aside around here"

From intelligence sources, Kristohardt checks the details directly, hires more hunters nearby, lets them look around as scouts, and makes a decision.

I was well prepared and didn't miss anything.

Impossible to fail.

"It's just like our investigation. We must attack quickly and sweep away without letting them get away"

Leonid, a representative of the Kingdom of Mowers, agreed to Christhalt's information.

- - We just got there, to Azito's position...

Leonid, who became deputy commander, had already wrapped up the atmosphere of the mighty man of the war.

He carried a sword big enough to wonder if it was too heavy to wield in such a look as a staged knight to see.

The knights around them also looked resilient.

At an early age, it is reminiscent that the sword did not meet Leonid at all.

Though nostalgic and comforting, you can't let him take away your credit.

The bandit crusade has sometimes been called from the side of the Kingdom of Remaiza, so Christhalt must take the lead and move.

- I'll show you where it wasn't me back in the day.

"This tripartite mountain path is already blocked. The biggest streets leading up to the Kingdom of Mowers have this regiment leader, so there's no problem first."

Leonid pointed in turn to the streets on the map.

In advance meetings, each street near the border leading to the mountains is blocked so that bandits do not flee into the country

Apparently, the Kingdom of Mowers has placed the Knights Commander, the superior officer of Leonid.

For its part, the Remisa had placed the Knights of the Kingdom of Remisa in whole, as a suppression of the streets.

I'd like to merge a little here as a force of war, but this time I'm being tested for strength as a new Count, so I can only use it as a restraint behind me.

"This street is also... all blocked by the Knights. You can't get through one of them."

Christhalt pointed to the street written on the map.

There is already an X written there, indicating that it is sealed off.

"And then which one cuts into Ajito..."

Christohardt went on to say the core of this military council.

Even though there was a lot of cooperation, it was important to know which one would attack first.

Because they both have to show the country the results, more than they are sending out soldiers.

"If you want to show King Remisa a good place, you can use me as an escort and you can go in"

Leonid replied that he was not interested in the handle.

- An escort? You're telling me this operation is a simple mission that won't even be handled by them? Or are you being licked?

Though the suggestion is something I wouldn't even wish...

Unexpectedly, Christhalt wanted to take the offer.

Originally, I was going to argue that this is the one to attack first.

But I swallowed it right up to my throat.

In Leonid's words, on the contrary, they realize that they are in a hurry for merit.

Perhaps he is a strong man who has survived the battlefield many times, on the other hand, Christhalt is like this in the first line.

The difference between the experience and the power was historical.

And the purpose of this operation is not to raise the profile of Christophardt within Limayza, but to make the bandits better policed near the border with as little damage as possible.

"Decide what to do."

Leonid asks again in a strong tone.

"... With all due respect, Lord Deputy Commander. I am coming to crusade the bandits, to defend the country and the territory of Crawleras. I don't want to brag about my powers."

Reiterating his thoughts, Christhalt spoke to the effect that he would turn to backward support.

Leonid may have deliberately said provocatively after predicting all of his situation and feelings in the country.

"Place this soldier around the mountain hem. We have better land prospects."

Leave the little pawn on a fine mountain path.

"Take that command from here on out. Nobody leaks one. I want to leave Ajito to you."

- It doesn't make sense if I go without experience of battle when entering.

I can't believe my men are just protecting me.

Then you should command the soldiers, as a net of bandits fleeing behind you.

I have confidence in chess.

"Okay. So I'll go."

Leonid just nods at Christhalt's operation.

So no one voiced dissatisfaction, and the meeting was dissolved.
