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

"A losing streak of battles? I guess it was a failure to detain Nares."

It was Orian-Lebien who had been laughing sarcastically at the silent Mirrelbus. Mirelbas-Ryburn turns his gaze toward the man who has been mocking him when he breaks the thoughts that keep him confused. Try to lean against the entrance and exit columns of the room, and he stands. It's a familiar face. A long, decades-long relationship had made Mirelbas and his relationship like light and shadow.

Mirrelbus takes a drink on the surface stage as a light, and Orian leaps behind the scenes as a shadow. Most of all, none of the things involved in the center of Zalwarn knew Orian existed. I mean, I can say it's not a leap. During the last decade he has been known as the commander-in-chief of the Dinobot Cave, and he is also a fearful being as the organizer of that hell. And it would even be thought of as the belly of Mirelbus, the king of Zalwarn.

In fact, it's a relationship close to reciprocity.

Mirelbus uses his talent and strength, and Orian also uses the power of Mirelbus. Orian's help was essential to the reform of Mirelbus. With his help, it is fair to say that Mirelbus was seated on the throne of the lord. Thanks to this, we were able to make a difference in the old state of Zalwarn's national government, and we were able to find many talents.

One of them was the Nares-Ragnahorn.

The rare military master that Gandia boasts has left the country and flowed north because Leongand, where he is heir to the throne, was too foolish. One theory also whispered that King Siuscloud was mad and out of love that it was General Algazard, not him, who chose him as Leongand's guardian. Given his track record, there were many voices to his guardian that General Algazard was fit, rumours that the human personality named Nares was suspect, but if the rumor had flowed from Gandhia, he could have seen it another way.

Didn't Gandhia, who feared Nares would serve in another country, try to plant a bad impression on his run? No matter how prestigious a military teacher is, it's hard to sign up if you have personality problems. Besides, if you believe in the rumors from Gandhia, you can also take that he left Gandhia because he can't be involved in national politics. How many countries can welcome such an ambitious man?

With all those rumors flying around, Mirelbas met Nares and felt talented in him. And I was able to immediately touch my strength. Mirrelbus also intuited and convinced that Nares was also a necessary human resource for the reform of Zalwarn. It took five years to realize that it was an error, partly because of the cleverness with which Nares was crafted, but for one thing, it was significant that Mirelbus trusted him too much. I guess I decided to have my beloved daughter daughter-in-law because I believed him. If I had doubted him, I wouldn't have made that decision.

"... if I had left Nares alone, Zalwarn would have been eaten up. You can't even be the target of a lion who's gaining momentum by eating poison and weak dragons"

"Five years. In five years, Zalwarn's been eaten up."

Orian laughs. In one hand of a skinny man, for some reason, a skinny knife is gripped. Reflecting the light of the demonic crystal lamp, his body was glowing dull.

"... may be so"

There was no word to give it back. Since the fall of Nagrasia, all the war reports jumping in from all over Zalwarn were good news. Nothing was more shocking than the fall of Bahandar, but in the battle on the Longhi River his son Ginarvi-Lyburn, along with Fay-Vridia, died in battle. On the eighteenth, Malwale fell, and the following nineteenth, an interception unit with armed summoners from Miliu-Lebayen, Crude-Fabruneia, Zain-Vridia and other Dinobot caves was defeated by Gandia's troops with black spears.

I keep losing.

"You believed too much in his talent. No, are you overconfident? Either way, that's a bad habit. If you had missed him a little more and taken care of investigating your neighborhood, it would have prevented it. Everything is your responsibility. [M] As a result, many humans died. I wonder if the innocent and the sinful are as dead."

Orian's chilling voice pierces Mirelbus's heart as if it were a sharpened blade, but that's not one thing I can argue with. Instead, you can't even do it as a national lord if you seem to be depressed at this level of language. It's also something I've been thinking about ever since we got the report that the Milius have been defeated.

Where was the beginning of the defeat?

Zalwarn is a major power that nominally has a total of 18,000 troops. One of the smaller groups of nations had a flying national territory and boasted a corresponding territorial power. The surrounding quarters had enemies, and some belonged to them. There was no foolish country that would have swept the war on Zalwarn at the time when he had nearly 23,000 power if he had combined his native logners, and if he could have freely used that power, it would not have been his dream to be the champion of a small group of nations.

But there's no way you can turn all of the possessed power into an outpost, etc. Because civil unrest has become more frequent in Zalwarn at one point or another. The need to devote force to the crackdown on civil unrest resulted in neglect of the outposts. Still, I was moving Logner to prepare for the south, but that didn't work either. It was all a nares ploy.

But that, and this, is none other than because Mirelbus picked him up, used him heavily, and gave him power.

"It's all my fault. I know that much."

"It would be obvious. And I'm not here to pursue that."

"I guess so. That's what you are. And what happened?"

"I decided to let Crude take my place"

"... are you a jerk?

Mirelbus caught a glimpse of Orian's complexion but found no change in his face exposed to the light of the Demonic Crystal lamp. A crude is an armed summoner in the Dinobot Cave, who was supposed to have died two days ago in battle with the Gandhian army.

But how did Orian bring his remains to the Ryufu research facility for resuscitation experiments? I hope the resuscitation experiment was a brilliant success, and Mirelbus caught a glimpse of Orian's fearsome talent. It is not something that can be believed, such as being able to resurrect the dead. but if I could actually show Crude that he was living, walking and moving, I had to believe in his accomplishments. And that could have led to a significant boost in power.

In the dawn when resuscitation drugs are mass-produced, the undead soldiers will probably be the mainstay of Zalwarn. An immortal army that runs the battlefield of Zalwarn. Soldiers who rise as many times as they have flesh, whether they are killed or killed, and attack their enemies. If it's nothing but fear for the enemy, it must be a nasty sight for the allies.

The work of the devil who blasphemed his life could only be accomplished because he was an Orian. It could only have been something he could have done, a being freed from ethics and morality.

Orian set foot in an unknown realm. I'm also in the mood to see where he's headed from now on, but in some circumstances, that would be a hard dream. I have no choice. It was only myself who screwed up.

"There are no anomalies in Crude's life activities. Rather too well and surprisingly. My memory seems to be somewhat missing, but it will serve as much as mine. Besides, even if you die, you come back to life. You don't have to worry."

"That's what you mean. I guess there's no mistake."

"Oh."

Seeing Orian snort confidently, Mirelbas thought it wasn't a mistake to get a half body called him. It is because he is a shadow that we can become aware of ourselves as light. The more confident he gets, the more confident and confident Mirell Bus can be. I move on because I am certain that the path I have taken will never be a mistake.

There were failures.

It is true that expectations and trust in Nares led Zalwarn to the status quo. Nares has spoken to HR and admitted it because he thought it was his decision that would be useful for Zalwarn's future. In fact, much of his dedication was to push Zalwarn further into power. It was only recently that poison scattered in the shadows began to wield ferocity. After the war began, at last, Mirelbus noticed the prospect of Nares.

The choice of Gordon-Fenec as Wing General of Nagrasia and the entrustment of Kerle-Clover to Wing General of Zeol were in anticipation of the Gandhian army swallowing logners and attacking Zalwarn in the future.

There are several routes to attack Zalwarn territory from Logner territory. One is the path to attack from Recondahl to Bahandar, but it is courage to choose the intractable Bahandar as a land of engagement. If it's possible to put a lot of energy into it, that's fine. But no one would have thought of attacking from Bahandar where Bahandar's myth of intransigence was alive. Our enemies, our allies.

It was also that manifestation that only the minimum necessary force was deployed in Bahandar, adjacent to the border between the two countries. And I'm glad to hear that. Until Gandhian troops dominated in the rough business of dropping black spears, Bahandar was not attacked, because he continued to reign as an invincible fortified city.

Another is the path to invasion from Myram to Nagrasia. Nagrasia did not leak into the example of the city of this era, it was a city covered by walls, and the castle gates on the south side in particular were splendid. When Logner was a country, he was said not to even require the placement of defensive forces, but the strong opinions of Nahless spared him the movement of forces. And when civil unrest broke out in Logner, there was a shock in the light of Nares' foresight. And the fact that Logner was levelled by Gandhia increased his confidence irrevocably. Because Nagrasia has become the out-of-Gandia front line.

But did anyone realize that was the prospect of Nares?

Nares was even creating the path Gandhia would take when he invaded Zalwarn. That is, the route from Nagrasia to Zeol, to Fort Vridia, to the Dragon House. The city's wing generals on the road longitudinally through the center of Zalwarn were all civilian ascendants, people with limited experience in action, etc. Even Heavenly Admiral Carmel-Lamel, who commands Fort Vridia, is a civilian if he corrects the original. What happens in times of war, even if you are a warrior? Nares said he would expect their struggle.

"Again, a thought?

"... I'm sorry. I think about it."

Mirelbus, honestly apologizing, saw his face. Orian-Lebaen had a calm face sometime. Is it because he is also happy that the experiment was successful, or because Mirelbus had such a pitiful look on his face?

"What happens when you regret the past? It doesn't change anything. The mistakes you've made, the failures, the failures, they don't disappear with blisters. Time will not return, and the past will remain the same. Then you can do what you have to do."

"Right. Exactly."

I didn't think Orian would tell me, but if you think about it, there was none other than him, such as a man who could speak like that against a national lord. He's the only one in a special position. Neither God General Cyrus-Ode nor Heavenly General Xenolute-Ryburn, his son, will reprimand Mirelbas. I don't care if you book opinions or disagree. In that sense, it can be said that it is half-body and not half-body, but that is also why it is a thankful being.

"The stage is getting ready for that. It is more likely that you will be settled before you go on stage..."

"True five-way defense..."

"You've seen it, too. That day at Melis Ellis."

What floated behind Mirelbus's brain was a burning sky of colour. That day, that time, in that place, Mirelbus watched a large number of humans die without the art of exchange. One man, young or old, who died just for that being born in Melisol. Innocent babies and sinful humans were equally killed. I might not even have been able to raise the severance demon.

Mirell Bus was on the ground. I couldn't let one Orian-Lebien carry the business. Orian planned it as the extremes of the foreign law. That could not be transferred to execution without Mirelbus's consent. If Mirelbus had been a king on man's path, he would not have admitted to Orian's experiment. That was the same thing as falling into the underworld demon.

"Why did I and you bear the burden of mass murder?"

"For Zalwarn"

"Step forward in peace. I'll pick up your bones."

Orian had a dry grin.

Decades ago, like that time we first met.
