"There's going to be a war."

Realizing that she was being spoken to by a voice full of majesty, Setuna opened her lid.

"Kill me again"

A gray sky is floating across my sight. Flowing clouds, the other side of the cloud, even the sun, are anointed with gray. I wonder where we are. I don't even have to think about it. In my dreams.

In my dreams, I lie on my back and sleep.

"How many will you kill? As far as I'm concerned... should there be more?

The voice, perhaps, is heard from the foot. It's a cold, high-pressure voice. But I'm familiar with my ears, and I'm not offended. Instead, I felt safe wanting to hear more about it.

"Who are you, talking to me all of a sudden? I can't get back to you that I was screwed up."

Setuna woke her body up blurry. And breathtaking.

One dragon was ahead of us. It was only for adjectives with dragons. I wonder how many meters long it is. A pitch-black monster that is immensely huge and boasts a huge mass. The surface of the black giant body twists oddly and appears to be flowing in one direction. Even though the huge pair of wings were folded, they met with an overwhelming sense of intimidation. No, it's not just the wings that are intimidating. Thick arms and legs, as well as tough nails stretched beyond them, would tragically kill Setuna with a single blow, while flesh like that fluid would also snap.

A long neck lifts up and stretches out this way. The giant head is like a sharp helmet, and the countless red lights instantly on the front are understandably its eyes. Double-eyed dragon. Countless fangs lined the open mouth, with darkness lying behind it.

I feel like a peek into the abyss.

The dragon's head stopped about two meters in front of him. Though I still seemed to be able to afford it in the length of my neck.

"You're the only one who's good."

Although the voice was heard from the dragon, its mouth was not moving. Seems to be vibrating the air and creating audio. This is a dream, without having to analyze it. Anything can happen.

"I'm sorry it was just..."

I was able to say it back strongly because I have the perception that it's a dream. If it's in a dream, it doesn't matter. Such pointless confidence pushed Setuna's back. Walk a few steps and stop. The dragon's head is right in front of him. I could clearly see the difference between a body like a fluid and a head like armor. Then, we also grasp that the head is not the only part like armor. The chest was covered in armor, as was the shoulder and waist circumference.

"If you're aware, fine"

Countless eyes are watching as they shoot through Setuna. Cold gaze. Normally, I can't help but feel the pressure to look directly at it, but the premise of dreaming made Setuna step on her feet.

The dragon narrowed his eyes.

"Chaos bringer...... big name"

"You're cool."

Setuna strained her chest, but the dragon laughed with her nose. The nostrils seem to be perforated.

"Not good"

"Oh, my God, one of you thought about it."

"You'll come up with it"

"How do you know..."

Setuna dropped her shoulder, but the dragon laughed small about how strange it was.

"As much as you might think, I know."

The dragon sounded his throat.

The vibrations spread like ripples and shook the world of dreams.

Setsuna had been lightly bounced.

The scenery of my dreams was gray everywhere. The sky, the clouds, the earth, even the end of the horizon, are stained with gray colour. Setsuna herself. In it, only the dragon exists like a black dot. The sight I saw by the time I got up beaten to the ground was something like that.

In dreams. There is no pain.

When I got up again, the dragon was spreading its wings. The giant body looked many times bigger. Maybe he's going to fly to heaven.

Setuna rebukes the words of the dragon just now.

"Chaos bringer...... no way......"

"You've got a bad guess inside."

The pitch-black dragon laughs at Setuna. But there's no disdainful emotion there. I'm just laughing.

"Is it a black spear...?

Setsuna also forgot that this is the place to dream. Black spear. A summoning arm that has continued to be tortured since being summoned by Iles Valle. If you ask me, I don't feel that black dragons and black alien spears are alike. Though that's not in a plastic sense, it's sensory.

"You've finally been able to change your words... my Lord. But time's up."

The dragon yelled. Light overflows from the pitch-black flesh, dyeing Setuna's vision white. I can't even resist Setuna. I just have to accept that I'm going to be exposed to the light and even my consciousness is going to be erased.

"Also, someday..."

When I opened my eyes all the way, there was a ceiling I saw. It's a room in the Palace of Myram that was honored by the Lion's Tail squad. He slept on the bed provided there and seemed to be dreaming. It wasn't a bad dream. The finish remained strong and I felt as if I was drunk. I don't know my consciousness. The sight I saw in my dreams still keeps me from leaving the retina.

Grey world.

The vision you're looking at is colored. I stretched out my arm and I saw my own hand that was bloody good. Wake up your body and circle your gaze. There is no one else indoors. They're out of Faria and Ruufa. Is it work?

"Ah."

Setsuna jumped out of bed when she remembered what the situation was now. I fluttered lightly, but that's a flash, too. I am getting back on my feet in the next moment.

Thanks to the fact that I could remember the current situation, the aftertaste of my dreams had also disappeared.

Looking down it was a simple personal outfit, but Setsuna jumped out of the room with no particular concern. And I saw Faria walking in from the front. She is wearing a Royal SS uniform and knows it well from a distance.

When Faria noticed this one, she ran over to a small running mood.

"You're awake, you just shouted."

"Run errands on me?

"It's not a big deal, though"

That said, she's been flying winks.

From the terrace on the fifth floor of the palace, it was likely that the city of Myram could be seen far away. Myram's palace beats Gandion's Lion's Royal Palace in height and loses in size. It must be the landscape from this terrace that its altitude unfortunately exerts. The streets that once boasted power as the capital of Logner are colored by Gandhian flags and crests and grandly claim to be one of Gandhian cities. but the city itself has not done any damage in the earlier wars, and many of its citizens continue to live the same lives as before, he said.

Citizens are not the only ones who are relieved that Myram is not on the battlefield. Even Setuna does. I don't get upset just thinking about things like swinging chaos bringers in a city like this.

I think it's a good city. The style of the standing architecture is not so different from Gandhia's, and Gandhion's familiarity with it looks like a city that is not suffocating, although Gandhion was a Gandhian and interesting city.

Faria brought Setuna here because she wanted us to see the streets spread beneath cloudy weather.

That's what I found out when I went out on the terrace and looked down at the city.

There was an army marching down a large street in downtown Myram. That's not just one thing. Apart from looking forward from the terrace, troops equipped for war were marching from the left and right. Under the lead sky, there is little sunlight. But the armor worn by the soldiers in the march reflects a slight light, dull and glowing.

People along the way seem to be shaking themselves or cheering for a hunch of war.

"That's..."

"It's Logner's army. They're gathering from all over."

"They're coming this way from Gandia, too."

With Leongando ordering the assembly of all his armies, the forces scattered throughout Gandhia were to be gathered in this Myram. However, we do not use this as a base for war with Zalwarn. Fighting must not be an enemy land. That is the iron rule told by Leongando, with Setuna and the others to act with it in mind.

If we turn the country into a battlefield, unexpected damage may have an unexpected impact. It may go well when it comes to the barracks, but a victory that just repelled out of the country is not a true victory. In the end, we have to step into enemy territory. Then it's a good idea to attack enemy land from the start - it seems.

To Setsuna, too, I figured it out somehow.

"Four thousand and five hundred for Gandhia, four thousand for Logner, one hundred and fifty for Pale Wind, one hundred for White Shield - this is the force Gandhia is now free to use."

"That's all you can use, except for defense."

Ruufa nods, yeah. You can see it as double the strength of the previous Gandia. Some of the troops lost in the previous battle could be recovered. Of course, the dead weren't resurrected. I'm just replenishing my troops.

The sweetness of Setuna took the life, and it will never come back.

"How much reinforcements from Lucion and Myon. I'm curious to know how much power Lemanifla's about five hundred people will have."

From Lucion, we talked about Prince Hulberg and Princess Linonclair leading reinforcements. Leongand was happy, I guess, because he could safely leave it to the two of us with a sense of comfort. Mion was talking about sending General Gilbert-Hardy, who also participated in the Battle for the Recapture of the Balsar Fortress, and the strength he brings is considerable. Perhaps we can hope for it, but we cannot help but feel a sense of toothache in the current situation, which we have just relied on our allies for.

Even Lemanifla's power. I don't mind Princess Nage being wrapped up in happiness, but we must even count on the five hundred or so people she brings in.

(If I were stronger)

I think so.

Is that thoughtful, or not?

Calmly looking back at what Setuna has done so far is not considered thought-provoking. but I also know it's foolishness. Setsuna was understanding that she was lucky enough to lead the battlefield to victory by herself.

The battle on the Balsar Plains was also a craftsmanship made because it had sucked up the Great Fire of Karan beforehand. It was only Astar's decision to end the Logner war. Neither is the power of Setuna and the Black Spear alone.

That's what I see.

"The total strength of the Gandhian army is about nine thousand."

By the way, they say Zalwarn has a total of 18,000 troops.

Setuna was appalled by the fact of the shock that Faria had lightly told her. Does Leongand want to fight a doubling enemy?

"Huh..."

"That said, that's a number that includes defensive warfare. That's not how many you can actually move."

"What... surprised me"

"Still far more than this one. And the number of armed summoners."

Setuna held her fist to Faria's words. We knew early on that opponents of enemy armed summoners would be the role of Lion's Tail. The only way to fight a weapon with the mighty power of summoning arms is to bump summoning arms. Of course, armed summoners are not invincible, and they must be able to crush them in quantities, but losing hundreds of soldiers to kill one armed summoner is not a good idea. Then you'd better let the armed summoners offset each other.

"In the meantime, we're lucky that General Balzerg's rebellion is blunting Zalwarn's movements"

(Balzerg...... General)

Setuna remembered the person whose name Ruufa had spoken.

That was when Logner infiltrated. By a measure that could be described as the bold invincibility of Ruufa's brother Laksas, he entered Recondahl, which had been occupied by the Arles army, facing Gray-Barzelg. The majestic figure of a giant man, as if to embody the word samurai, was so full of tremors that it came just to remember. He belonged to Zalwarn, but when the battle between Logner and Gandia was over, he said he flipped the anti-flag against Zalwarn.

"Three thousand disobedience... it hurts"

"Three thousand men, but four thousand and five hundred troops on the Gandia side, right? Wouldn't that be awesome?

"With only comparable force to a small country, he chose a path that was only hostile to Zalwarn. There were other ways to live for as much as you wanted."

To the voices heard from overhead, Setuna was so surprised that her eyes were about to pop out.

"Your Majesty!?

Leongando Ray-Gandia stood behind Setuna. They're getting closer by erasing the signs, that's why. I guess Setuna and the others were too obsessed with the conversation to be distracted.

"The Royal SS uniform stands out. There were rumors that the SS was looking high."

"Takamitsu... that's kind of a rude thing to say"

Faria must have stunned because she didn't mean to. Falia also understands that Setsuna is not the kind of person to wear the status to Kasashi.

"I was watching Logner's army come into the castle from here. If that's what you think it is, do you have a way?

"So is that."

"Besides, if it's your position, it's fine with the sight of heights. I don't mind you flirting with me. It's my SS."

That must have been Leongand's complacency.

Faria protested calmly.

"Then Your Majesty's authority will be hurt."

"It must be more scratchy than it was before, such as an authority that hurts to that extent. My aim is not to that extent. but if we don't bring Zalwarn down, the country will perish before authority can."

If we lose, a country called Gandhia will disappear from the ground. The disappearance of a country called Logner is new to memory. I also remember Setsuna very well. The fact that one country is buried in history is daunting and horrible. Logner became part of Gandia. (i) It became a region. The first name will remain. It is also engraved in history. But the country is doomed. Does one of the Logners live with such a sense of loss?

When Gandia is doomed, will Setuna endure that sense of loss? To a disturbing imagination, Setuna shook her head. Tell.

I won't let you do that.

"I'm hoping. You rely on me."

Leongand looked into Setuna's eyes and went. Blue eyes. Beautiful and clear eyes glimmer as if he were not a regular, attracting Setuna. And the king's voice seemed not only to tremble his tympanic membrane, but to echo in his head and shake even his soul. I'm sure he's attracted to a man named Leongando. And that's by no means a bad thing. A pleasant exaltation affirms it.

"Setuna, this is not a battle of defense. It's a war of aggression. Shields are important for protection, but spears are important for offense. I mean, it's you. That's the same thing as before. I've always needed you. I could be here because you were there."

Leongand's tone is strong. It's as intense as tapping into Setuna's heart, and dazzling.

Setuna was listening to Leongando's voice with all her body and spirit. It is the heart and the soul that is trembling. This is what you would expect to be impressed with. My vision shakes unnaturally and my eyeballs get hot.

Leongand's words, they don't end.

"You pushed this country so far. Thanks to you, Gandhia can fight Zalwarn. Without you, I don't even know how many years it would have taken to control this place. It's you. We can fight because you'll cut ahead."

Setuna didn't even want to stop the overflowing tears. Nothing to be ashamed of. My heart is shaking, my emotions are just cut off and flooded.

And Leongando's bluff is serious in itself. I didn't even want to block my sight for a moment to wipe my tears.

"I will continue through the wind pit you have opened."

That only means that Setuna and the others can be entrusted with the lead.
