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

"That was force majeure... it was force majeure..."

Setuna's nagging was caused by what happened last night.

At midnight, there was a case of Setuna being raided. The raider said he named the Reaper No. Lem Wa-Marlow, but that it was Lem's personal decision that struck Setuna's sleep. Nahless sees no lie in Rem's remarks, not even thinking that Gibbel, who succumbed to Gandhia's pressure and had just responded to the truce agreement, would imitate his relationship with Gandhia.

Beyond that, as a nares, I was going to decide that there had been no raid on Setuna by the Reaper. If we make this case public, Gandia will be compelled to respond in some way. I didn't want to do that and stimulate Gibbel. Now, what Nares has to do is not go to war with Gibelle.

But it was just as unexpected of him to break a bone to persuade the Lion's Tail crew not to divulge information about the incident externally. Faria-Aslalia, an assistant captain, and Miliu-Lebayen, a squad member, were also uncooperative in explaining Nares. There seemed to be something between Setuna and the Reaper, and the two seemed uncomfortable about it. Most of all, in the end, he was convinced and the nurses were relieved.

"At any rate, I'm glad Master Setuna is safe. If anything happens to Master Setuna, Gandia will have to retaliate against Gibelle. Then it is imperative that we develop into war."

"You can't even deal with Gibbel."

Miliu's words contained, perhaps, poison. They don't care about the Reaper. It seemed necessary to ask what the Reapers had done to Setuna later.

"Oh, my God, you defeated Zalwarn."

Her statement that followed also sounded like an excuse. Of course, I guess that's for real, too. For her, who was born into the ruling class of Zalwarn, she still shouldn't want to believe that Gandia, who defeated the great power Zalwarn, would suffer from the battle against Zibel, etc.

"Warriorly, there's nothing wrong with that. Even if Master Setuna was injured and left the front, it would not always be difficult to lower the jivel."

Gandia lost a lot of troops in the Zalwarn War, but swallowing up Zalwarn troops has increased their power more than before the war. Total troop strength, needless to say, will surpass Zibel's, even in the quality of its power, beyond that of Zibel.

Fight and you can win.

"But it's nearly impossible to win without sacrifice. It is His Majesty Leongand's idea that we do not want to bleed in vain while the wounds of the Zalwarn War are not healing."

Nares felt like he was waving a teaching whip against one of the Lion's Tails. Especially against Setuna.

"Besides, I've never crossed without a war or anything. Appealing to power is both a lower measure and a lower measure. It could be a last resort."

Nares, keep quiet.

"If you can drop a country without fighting, you've never crossed that, have you?

When Nares smiled, Setuna seemed to be bare.

"Can you do that?

"Let's just say I mobilized you for that."

"What do you mean?

"We'll find out soon enough. Enjoy it even after your vacation for a while. It could take some time."

"Aren't you going home?

"... if you go back to the country without a souvenir, you don't know what to say."

Nares left the room behind with the plot in his chest.

When the Nares left Myoln within that day, they headed all the way to Runeberel. Berel's capital spread with information about Zibel's pulling up the army, and while there was a voice of joy, he also lamented his failure to get Harrell back.

"If you didn't make any sacrifices and could get one city back, you could do it."

When Nares snapped, Merrill chuckled.

"Because the Gandian army will not be returned to the country?

It was three days after the signing of the truce agreement for Gibelle that King Istria of Berel inquired anxiously.

It's good that the Gandhians are back from Myoln to Runeberel. Reporting to Istria was necessary, and the main unit of reinforcements remained in Runeberel. Even when returning home, it might be more convenient to rendezvous.

However, the loose movement of the Gandian army could only be of concern to Istria, which just thought that if there was a rapprochement with Gibelle and the threat left, it would be something that would return home soon.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that Gibbel won't break the truce, so we'll be watching for a while."

"I see... that's the Master. Have you thought about later?"

"Yeah. Really dependable"

Chancellor Gino-Lend said he was impressed by Nahless's behavior at the negotiating table with Gibelle, who wanted to be able to behave as resolutely as he did. Istria thought Gino wouldn't be able to do it, but he didn't put it into words. Even if it wasn't possible, being uplifting is never a bad thing.

Istria, in that way, dispelled his anxiety about the movement of the Gandian army.

but Istria's anxiety grows day by day.

Because the Gandhian army doesn't show any signs of leaving Runeberel.

November 12th.

Five days have passed since the signing of the truce agreement in Myoln.

Already the Gibelle army had withdrawn completely from Berel territory and even the troops it was deploying along the border with Berel had been raised to the national ranks. Beyond a truce agreement, we no longer have to consider an attack from Berel. Maybe it wasn't a bad story for Gibbel either in that he could focus that power on the other.

Most of all, if we kept fighting like that, we could have even dropped Runeberel, and it wasn't surprising that we regretted not even Gandia's cross spear.

"Return Myoln for free, that might have been too much."

In the mouth of Augusto, whose staff officer had totally followed the board, Nares could not have forbidden a bitter laugh. Speaking of Augusto, he was the head of the San Sian family, and when it came to his personality, he was supposed to surpass the Gandhian royal family. Someone like that is under the nurse. I couldn't wait for that to go wrong with him.

It was Leongand who appointed him, neglected by the military, as a staff officer with a military mentor. I know Leongand has some thoughts about becoming Leongand, but he was a HR that I don't understand much about Nares. Nares doesn't like smart people like Augusto. But there can be no more veto rights for him than being a royal fate, and he had to reluctantly use them down.

But as he joined Auguste in Bahandar and watched his crowd, Nares was liking him. Even his lord criticized him for his unclothed words on his teeth, which were entirely different from those of a hundred nobles. Normally, nobility is obnoxious to a master. Whatever you think inside, speak up thinking about what happens if you get into your master's ear. But he had no hesitation in dealing with Leongando, even in front of Nares. Of course, I'm not just denying it. The portions that can be affirmed can be affirmed, or praised.

The denial part, the affirmation part, is a lot consistent with what Nares thinks, that is, the wavelength would have fit.

"Exactly, but if we don't, we won't see our face visiting reinforcements"

"Like Berel, who did you say you were?"

"I don't care what Berel looks like. The problem is Gandhia's prestige. You can call it reputation."

"You have no reputation, is that what you have to worry about"

"If you have a bad reputation, you'll be like Zalwarn"

"Oh......"

In a nutshell, he seemed good at it. Nares is always impressed when he is a man of good sense. Zalwarn was unable to ask for reinforcements from neighbouring countries in the war against Gandhia. That's because Zalwarn's reputation was too bad. Of course, there was less flavor in saving Zalwarn, but there would be.

Neighbouring countries during the Zalwarn war, whether Gibbell or Abard, were acting aggressively against Zalwarn, rather than rescuing Zalwarn. Gibbell supports the Gray army, and if the Gray army moves, he has control of Smada and Melis Ellis, and there are verses in which Abad was also moving to attack one of the five-way defensive formations. Meredo seems to have silenced Zarwahn and dawned on the war against Ishika, but if Zarwahn's reputation is good, he could have poked the flank of the Gandian army and led Zarwahn to victory.

Reputation is important.

But you can't just get caught up in all that and lose sight of the big picture.

"Well, let's just say it's time to move. I guess it's about the time Berel's out of his numbness, too."

"Yeah, you must think you should just go home."

"Ask one person for help at all, and when it's over, that's it."

Nares grinned coldly, ordering Merrill to prepare for an outing.
