Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode 153: The Black Spear Operations Act

A day has passed since the mixed units named Westward Army began to move.

September 13th.

Leongando's speech had been given in Myram if on schedule, and the fact was hard on Setuna.

"Your Majesty's speech, I wanted to hear it..."

Leongando Ray-Gandia. He is his master and the only person who has sworn allegiance. He picked himself up in this unparalleled world, even appointed me as a royal palace summoner, and promoted me to Captain Lion's Tail of the Royal SS. I can only thank you, and I thought I could fight through any situation for Leongand.

That's why I wanted to see Leongand's speech with this eye and hear it with this ear. If there was a recording device or recording device in this world, I could still put up with it, but there couldn't be any such thing. The fastest way to communicate is with a message pigeon. Recording, recording, whatever you want.

It wasn't until Setuna joined Ayn-Rajar that she learned the schedule for Leongand's speech. By the time he left Myram, it would have been found the date and time the Gandhian army would assemble. From there the date of the speech must have been decided.

Setuna was fiercely discouraged, but Ruufa seemed to feel the same way. He also has strong feelings for Leongando and for the Gandhian royal family. He, the second son of the Barghazar family that he had long served the Gandhian royal family, would think more about the royal family than the outsider Setuna. In fact, Setsuna is more intoxicated with Leongand himself than with the royal family.

"Neither of you have ever been discouraged."

Faria has been shouting from behind, perhaps because the very horse Ruufa and Setuna work with seemed discouraged.

The western march led by General Astar-Lanadees, the right-eyed general, was rushing to Bahandar by a fast-marching law proposed by General Flying.

The military conference in the Bahandar offensive took place on the twelfth at the temporary headquarters of the Gandia army in Nagrasia. Though it was temporary, we thought about the future entry and exit of the army, where it was fully in place, and the operational conference room was large enough. It was formerly the main building of the Third Dragon Scale Army.

Attendance at the military conference could be described as a key member of the Westward Army. Seven or more Westward Army commanders Astal-Lanadies, Westward Army First Regiment Leader Grad-Clyde, Westward Army Second Regiment Leader Dorka-Form, Westward Army Third Regiment Leader Ein-Rajar, Lion's Tail Captain Setuna Zenon-Kamiya, Assistant Captain Faria-Belfaria, and Deputy Chief Ruufa Zenon-Kamiya - surrounded the large table.

Setuna seemed confused because the restructuring into the Westward Army changed the number of the regiments led by each Legion leader, but he reconsidered that if he even remembered his name in the first place, he could do something about it.

"As for the Bahandar offensive, that means the Ayn army commander has a plan."

Early after the military debate began, Astar urged Ayn to speak.

"Yes."

When Ain stood up, he looked around and opened his mouth gently.

"As you all know, the area around Bahandar where we are going was originally Meredo's land. It is also said that Bahandar has been fortified in order to stop the invasion from Zalwarn. In fact, Bahandar has been under attack for a long time as an undefeated city."

Setuna also wrapped her tongue around the leopard swing of a boy named Ayn-Rajar. There was no child there who was usually attached to Setuna and hazy, and there was a Legion Leader who could not even move into the gaze of General Right Eye. Neither perseverance nor smooth and unpretentious tone could be imagined at all from the usual him.

Seeing that neither Grad nor Dorka are surprised, I guess it's a familiar sight for them. That may be why I have no doubt that I am promoted to Legion Leader at the young age of sixteen, or that I can treat you as a colleague.

"The surrounding terrain is a natural factor, isn't it? Bahandar, as its name suggests, is a city built on a hilltop, but with extensive wetlands lying on all sides of its hill and narrow streets just penetrating north and south. If you approach the streets relying on them, it becomes just targeted, and it's the same thing if you go down the wetlands. Anyway, the muddy took my legs and I can't make it. Zalwarn seems to have been hit just fine because of it."

The map on the tabletop says the march route to the destination. I don't know the letters, but I can understand that they are the route from Nagrasia to Bahandar. There was a good distance and it was clear that it would take a few days to get there.

Around Bahandar, wetlands are said to be spreading. In Setuna's poor knowledge and ideas, I could not imagine, but if I even asked Faria on the road, she would kindly tell me. As far as Ein's story goes, he didn't seem to fight in the wetlands.

"On top of that, even if you cross the wetlands and reach Bahandar, what awaits is steep hills and high walls. The rain of the falling arrows is famous for knocking Zalwarn down in despair."

"That's why Zalwarn gave up on taking it down"

"Yes, we changed our strategy, dried it up with a prolonged offensive, and surrendered Bahandar's general. It is self-evident that if the supply line is cut off, it will destroy itself. Considering the time and personnel and cost involved, it's far more efficient than storming and repeatedly crushing balls."

"But we don't have that number or time, do we?

"Yes. We must let Bahandar fall as soon as possible. There's no point in turning down the supply route and waiting for the main unit to die."

"So what do we do? Ayn Legion Leader"

"I'll leave you to Master Setuna."

"Ha!?

Setuna rubbed her voice upwards into Ayn's remarks, which she could not have anticipated at all from the course of the conversation earlier. Admit that the sights of the generals and the commanders of the Legion concentrate on themselves, but they cannot be regained.

Ein said that, just like earlier, he was watching Setuna with a sober eye. It wasn't the eye of a fan in a state of excitement.

"I recognize and remember in detail the strength of the Lion's Tail squad. Captain Setuna's black spear (Chaos Bringer), Captain Faria's assistant Aurora Storm, and Deputy Ruufa's Silfed Feather. Understandably, these are the keys to our attack on the Westbound."

"So much so that our handles are gone."

"It is the job of the Legion Leader to take command. I don't want the rank of a soldier."

"I know."

Dorka seemed flattered by Astar's reprimand. Setsuna also understands that Astar's statement is more correct, although the work of the Legion Leader may not be enough for him to hope for prosperity. However, that word does not apply to Setuna. Being captain of Lion's Tail, he is expected to defeat a number of enemies.

"This time too, I will ask Captain Setuna to take my hand, but I will also ask Deputy Ruufa to play an important role"

"Me...?

"Yes."

Ein replied with a smile to Ruufa's astonished face, arranging the pawns on the map. Three large pawns. It would be a pawn showing the first, second and third legions. Place them south and east of Bahandar.

"The Commander of the Grad Regiment will have the South Gate with the First Regiment. Assistant Captain Faria should act with Team Grad. The Second Legion of the Dorka Legion Leader will hit the East Gate with my Third Legion. General Right Eye is here too."

"Hmm."

"Rikai"

"But isn't this going to be targeted?

Grad's doubts were the best. He was scattered along the wetlands and could easily be sniped if he approached Bahandar.

"So it's Master Setuna's turn."

Ein placed a small pawn, near the First Regiment. Setsuna couldn't help but remember a bad feeling from Ein's mouthfeel.

"Deputy Ruufa's Silfed Feather has the ability to fly. Sounds like you can fly to quite an altitude. I'm talking about how you can afford to be so tall that the enemy soldiers on the walls won't notice."

"Yes, but if you get close to the ground, you'll find them, and they'll shoot us down because we're defenseless."

That is also the weakness of Ruufa's Silfed Feather. I can fly around freely, but I can't even protect myself in flight. Flying arrows is difficult.

"Of course, I won't let Deputy Ruufa do that."

Ein smiled, but it was a rhetoric that bothered Setuna. Rebellion.

"To?

"Yes."

Ein was smiling, but his eyes weren't laughing.

Setuna thought it was like a doctor's eye telling ruthless facts.

"It is Lady Setuna who does ridiculous things"

Affirmed, Setuna was stunned.

With Lost Word Setuna on her ass, Ein moves the little pawn on the map to Bahandar.

"Lieutenant Ruufa summons Silfed Feather as the operation begins and asks you to carry Captain Setuna right over Bahandar and throw him down"

"Ha!?

"Please summon Chaos Blinger in advance if Captain Setuna wants you to. Don't let the impact of the fall kill you."

"Wait a minute!

"Lieutenant Ruufa, after throwing down Captain Setuna, rendezvous with the Grad Squad, then follow the Grad Legion Commander"

"Hey."

"Captain Setuna, please ramble flashly in Bahandar. You may take a total of the handles. We approach Bahandar multiplied by the chaos following Captain Setuna's throw. Regardless, I don't think the confusion will last long, but we'll figure it out if we get too close to the enemy's bow range before we drop it."

……

Setuna was silenced because all of the statements were silenced. Giving up makes Setuna sit in a chair. Neighbor Faria put her hand on her shoulder. Maybe he's consoling me.

Ein was smiling satisfied after he set up the setuna throwing operation. It may have been a measure of congregation for him, but if you try it on Setsuna, it doesn't seem like a measure or anything. Isn't there a lot of hopeful observation? Confusion, etc., can't last long.

Indeed, it is a matter that the enemy's armed summoner will not make it a prediction, such as being thrown from above, and it will be a commotion for interception. A black spear thunder name may upset you. But is that gap enough for the troops outside to attach to Bahandar?

Maybe that's why he told me to ramble flashly. If we go wild and draw the attention of the enemy forces in Bahandar, we may be neglected in our response to the outside world.

"Got any questions?

"Yes, yes."

"Dorca Legion Leader"

"And Lord Kamiya will die, won't he?

Dorka must have done something decent a long time ago.

"What?"

Ein looked at Dorka with a face like, I don't know why. Setsuna wanted to hold her head. Ruufa's hand rides on his left shoulder. What a wonderful military debate, sympathetic to the two of his men - with such irony in mind, Setuna was watching about Ein.

He was preaching.

"Chaos bringer can do anything with that degree of altitude!

"Well, I'm afraid of something that's going to work out."

Dorca's statement may have been caused by the destruction of the Gates of Nagrasia.

The blow that smashed through the thick iron gate seemed to shock the mixed army in various ways, and the soldiers' response to Setuna had changed since then. I guess the military men who waver between their pride as Logners and their fear of black spears will also have to change their attitudes if they see reality. That said, few humans bewildered against Setuna, rather an attitude that even the swelling would touch.

"I've never tried that before."

As Setuna opened her mouth with a snack, Ain looked back at this one to reinforce her narrative.

"You don't have to try it! 'Cause it's Master Setuna, isn't it?

I didn't know where that confidence was coming from, and Ein was still an avid fan of Setuna, and I just had to think that's why it was a measure. Or so, I can't even think of an objection. I also have the conviction that a black spear would accomplish it.

"Anything else you have an opinion on?

Astar looks around the conference room, but no one gave an opinion. I don't care about Ayn, who is absolutely confident in the operation he has planned, Dorka, Grad the Ideal Face - and the expressions of the Legion Leaders vary. When Astar sees that he doesn't give his opinion, he probably doesn't have any other ideas.

Ruufa seemed somewhat nervous. Just because you can fly to a high altitude doesn't necessarily mean you're safe. It is also possible that an armed summoner has been placed in Bahandar. In that case, there is also the possibility that every Ruufa will be shot down, but when it does, it will happen and we'll have to bust both of us.

Faria didn't even look particularly worried. Maybe he trusts Setuna and the power of the Black Spear. Nevertheless, it's not fanaticism like Ein. I guess it's the credibility that comes from the fact that you actually look at it with your eyes and feel it on your skin. Setuna thanked Faria for the look on her face.

"The Bahandar offensive will employ the operations of the Ayn Legion Commander. It should be noted that the objective of the Bahandar attack is to secure a supply line. Dropping Bahandar will also make it easier to get in touch with Recondar. What's more, Bahandar is a hard-to-beat fortified city. If you fall, the morale of the entire army will rise. As it should be."

I can't complain more than Astar adopted. No, Setuna doesn't have the ability to plan operations in the first place. The only thing Setuna can do is complete the operation decided upon above. And that's fine. That's what black spears do. I will do everything in my power for the operations laid down.

Black spears can withstand falling from any height - Ayn's enthusiastic certainty is not in Setuna's midst. Chaos Bringer's hidden power is not to such an extent as to destroy the Gates of Nagrasia.

Setuna, when she was ready, looked into the general's eyes.

The Rin's gaze seemed to hold expectations of Setuna.
