Orian remembered the odd chest noise, not because he couldn't read Mirelbus' thoughts. His mouthfeel evoked memories of the past. A long time ago. A time when Mirell Bass was still proud to tell of his blue-smelling dreams. Long before Orian entered the Revien family.

It's a nostalgic memory, but not if you're immersed in it.

"... will you take the king?"

As soon as I put it into words, I'm stunned by its idiocy. But Mirelbus nods without worrying about Orian's emotions.

"Oh."

The more I think about it, the stupider it is.

It's impossible to stand on the battlefield from the lord of the kingdom and discuss the king of the enemy. There must be no. There shouldn't be. It is good that the king of a small country should be on the battlefield. If we try to make it a weak state, kings can be one of the forces of war. But Zalwarn is not such a small country.

The power is numerous and the funds and resources are luxurious - so much so that he shook his head in his chest.

(Is that a long time ago, too)

Two months ago, a sixth of the enormous force of war was lost as a result of the Grey-Balzerg rebellion. That's the first. No, I guess Logner should be the first to get drunk by Gandia. This would not have happened if Gandhia's logner control had been prevented.

I watched the power of Gandhia sweetly. No one thinks that we can defeat Logner to a small country that has lost its great predecessor to Gandhia and has become a boner. Everyone was aware that the recapture of the fortress of Balsar would be the limit.

But Gandia quickly overturned the expectations of the great, destroying the Logner army and putting the whole territory under control. He also said that the measures that followed had not been graduated and that people's hearts were stable. I don't know the sentiment that Gandia's rule is better than Zalwarn's.

It was Zalwarn, who had been deprived of his beloved country and betrayed by an important force of war, but only then could he still have recovered as much as he wanted.

If Gray is not to be held captive, I should have done everything in my power to destroy him. That way, we don't have to get into a situation where we have enemies in the country. I was able to hit all my forces against Gandia's invasion.

But Gray and his army were abandoned. It must have been a good hand for Gandhia now that he stumbled upon Fort Gallon and silenced his enemies staring at the dragon palace.

Perhaps the beginning of it all is that we have had a bug in the body of a lion named Nares-Ragnahorn.

It was Mirell Bus who found the nurse and reused it. Moving from scratch to apply the bully is not an emotion to understand.

And, both militarily and by the time he had to stand on the battlefield, he was cornered. It may be personal power or something. But it would be cheap if he could take on the leader of an enemy army with his own life. Especially for Zalwarn.

Mirell Bass and Leongand. Whether it is the life of one another's lord, it is not equivalent.

Mirelbus has fostered succession for times like this. He handed down his ideas and nurtured talent to realize his ideals. He considers himself one of the pawns. It's just a pawn, a means to make Zalwarn the ideal country.

"... I thought you weren't coming."

"I, too, thought that it would be good if it were. But apparently, reality doesn't work that well."

So let's discuss the leader of the enemy army from the lord of the land and pull the curtain of battle?

Surely the army will lose momentum if you take the king of the enemy. I'm not talking about losing momentum. King Gandhia is still young, unmarried, and has no one to bequeath.

If we lose Leongando, that alone would disrupt the country of Gandhia and disrupt the political situation. There can be no way that the war can continue, and the Gandian army cannot help but give up its invasion of the Dragon House. Maybe let go of some of the cities you've dominated. Even if you don't let go, the opportunity for recapture will come. That's all we'll be able to create.

Discussing Leongando is the only way to overturn the situation.

"But what are you going to do? I don't think they're gonna make it through the guardian dragon."

Orian looked at him with pride.

The Gandhian army will not be able to defeat them with one guardian dragon. Even the Black Spear, even the White Shield, had no hands or feet on the dragon. I just hit my full strength, and I have no chance of beating the Gandhian army. Can it be broken through?

Nevertheless, the guardian dragon cannot move from the site of the fort. The contract binds the dragon's actions. That's what I had to do to get rid of the anxiety element. If we allow the dragon freedom of movement, what awaits the end of the operator's death becomes more tragic. It's not just the Dragon House. It could be a threat to all of Zalwarn, no, the whole small group of nations.

But the inability of a guardian dragon to move does not pose a major problem. Dragons just have to be the ones that protect the dragon palace. All you have to do is stop the enemy from approaching and repel him.

If you had reigned as an invincible defensive net, a five-way defensive force, that would have been all. That alone, the Dragon House is protected from all external pressures.

The Gandhian army also has to give up one day. It is not unlimited to be able to squeeze out troops, funds and resources.

"The story is that the Gandhian army is a large army of roughly seven thousand men, but it's hard to imagine hitting a guardian dragon with all of that. Perhaps the Gandian army thinks that with four thousand, control of the Dragon House is possible?

"Hmm... less than 2,000 dragon-eyed troops. No wonder you're thinking that."

Orian put his hand on his chin.

"So you're saying that 3,000 men will attract the attention of the guardian dragon and forcibly break through with the remaining 4,000?"

It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of an armed summoner will double if it is included among the four thousand. We know that the Gandhian army has several armed summoners, including a black spear.

And the presence of a group of mercenaries called the White Shield is also significant. Quon-Kamiya is not an organization that belongs to one person. An invincible shield just can't grab a victory with it.

The White Shield has a powerful array of armed summoners, the facts of which could also be confirmed in a report from the Guardian Dragon. Of course, the guardian dragon itself is extremely helpless.

If you turn all that fighting power towards the Dragon House offense, you may not even be an opponent, such as two thousand Dragon Eye Armies. Kicked away, wouldn't the Dragon House be instantly subdued? In that case, this country is over.

The Dragon House is the capital of this country, Zalwarn. Because the land of dragons is the land of dragons, it was this capital, even if it was named after it.

"But not even 3,000 men can stop a guardian dragon."

Orian just told the truth. The Grey army gathered in Fabulneia has been destroyed by the power of the Dragon. The fact is, of course, that Mirell Bus should also know.

"If Leongand is a man who doesn't hate sacrifice for victory, he will try to drop the Dragon House even at the expense of 3,000"

"Is Leongand such a man?"

"At least his hatred of Zalwarn is deep"

Orian was listening with a cool face. Mirelbus mentions the cause of death in Siuscloud. Twenty years ago, it was Marcias-Vridia who planted the poison that led to his death in the Sius Cloud, where he visited Zalwarn. He remained in Zalwarn's history as a tyrant, but for Orian he was also a forensic master.

Orian was picked up by Marcias as an armed summoner and studied foreign law instead of teaching him armed summoning techniques. Marcias wasn't a bad man, either.

That's not what they are, such as the bad guys at the root.

That's why it sucked as a national lord to say that his politics could not possibly be appreciated. It was no exaggeration when it came to disaster itself. So much so that we also know that Mirelbus was determined to forbid the lord of the land from carrying it around. Zalwarn, approaching ruin by the tyranny of Marcias, brought it back together, for one thing, because of the dedication of Mirelbus, who became the national lord. If humans other than Mirelbus had been seated on the throne of the lord, Zalwarn would have been doomed or close to it.

The son of a wretched king with the poison fangs of such a man is Leongand. According to the story, he gave a speech in Myram, cutting Zalwarn off as evil, and disputing him. Since the cause of Siuscloud's death was declared to be in Zalwarn, the Gandhian army's will seems to have risen in response.

Cius Cloud was probably the person located exactly the opposite of Marcias. He was admired by the people, trusted by the soldiers, and the general called him Yingjie. It was only natural that they would show their anger towards Zalwarn and attack him with hatred.

Nevertheless.

I don't even think he's the kind of man who would force a soldier to die just because of his emotions.

Leongando Ray-Gandia was, to the best of Orian's knowledge, a sober man. It has taken six months to recapture the fortress of Balsar. Logner, the war and this invasion were the electric ones, but it's not hard to imagine that there were just so many reasons for that.

I didn't think very much of myself as an enthusiast who would drive his own soldiers to death to avenge the country that drove my father to death.

"There will be insurance"

Mirrelbus narrowed his eyes.

"For example, White Shield"

"... I see"

Orian finally convinced himself of Mirelbus's idea.

Using the "White Shield" Quon-Kamiya would also work effectively for three thousand yuan. Even if you can't defeat a dragon, it's not pointless if you can withstand the dragon's harsh attacks. If the squad can break through the dragon range, Gandhia wins.

Besides, if you were to use the White Shield, you might not be able to break three thousand on the dragon. The fewer the number of positive moves, the stronger the pressure on the Dragon House, but it may rather be where we want it.

"Come to Dragon House (here)... they are"

"It will come"

Mirelbus affirmed. You don't even know much about the battle, but you're a bad guy. You can try to believe it. Either way, there is no better way than to obey his judgment.

"Right...... We must welcome you."

"I leave the rest to these things. Nothing to worry about."

Mirrelbus glanced at the neighbors and went. The people raised as his half have a uniformly anxious look on their face. That was the look on Mirelbus's face because he knew he was ready. When the main unit of the Gandhian army arrives at the Dragon House, as Mirelbus imagined, it is only then that Mirelbus's life count runs out.

He is not afraid of death.

No, I'm about to die. That's what he means to be on the battlefield. In the flesh that begins to see decay, you can't possibly fight or anything. It's not like it was decades ago.

Regardless, Mirelbus, it's not just going to die. Discuss the Leongands and die on them. Otherwise, it makes no sense. It will be a waste of time. No matter how many successors you have, but if you die, it's a waste of pawns.

The means for doing so were provided by Orian.

"Long time. Standing on the battlefield is"

When Orian snapped, Mirelbus looked unexpected.

"Are you going to leave too?"

"Naturally. I am your shadow."

Orian, smiling, turned his back on him. If it's going to be a fight, we need to be ready.

"Orian."

"What?

Called to rest, he looked back. On the other side of the round table, Mirell Bus stood. A slightly empty ray of demonic crystal stone envelops his entire body. If the world were the world, he would have finished his life with honor. That's all he is, Orian believes.

"Don't take the trouble"

"It's the usual thing. Never mind."

"The usual, huh?"

"Oh, you haven't changed a thing in a long time."

"The nature of human beings, etc., can also be so different."

"Only a few decades of excuses for that."

"You're tough."

"Naturally."

Orian laughed. I noticed myself layering him as a teenager on Mirell Bus's face with a bitter smile. My body and mind were young, where I was blue. He had a blurred hope, a vivid dream and a high profile ideal.

I guess that hasn't changed yet. I guess I'm still following my ideals and looking to make my dreams come true. But back then, he wanted something else. That's why he wanted Orian to learn the art of armed summons, and when he found out it was impossible, he envied Orian.

He wanted to fight power.

(You just wanted power, didn't you?

If you had the strength, you must have thought you could get it back.

As long as you have the strength.

Even the power of purity...

"Okay, then."

Orian turned his back this time and walked out. I can't help but immerse myself in the past. Things are constantly moving and changing. It's a waste of time.

If the Dragon House was to become a battlefield, it was necessary to prepare for it.
