Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World
Chapter 972 Branding (5)
"At least one woman's heart and this country will be saved"
The word of the sword man pierces his chest.
"Saved... my mother..."
Rebellion clogged my chest even more. Sellis' gentle expression and words pass the back of his brain. Loved memory. Memories I loved. Soft knitting. Calm voice. He always cared about Sheila. Sheila also always cared about her.
You call her such a pain in the ass?
Are you saying that the existence of myself was tormenting Selis?
"Sheila, hold on! Don't listen to him!
Shaken violently by Setuna. I wonder why he's so close. I'm not turning my head. Thoughts are dull. I don't know.
"But Setuna... I... the hell..."
"Run away!
"Run away?"
Doubts come to mind with rumination.
(To where?
I wonder where you're going, running away.
There's nowhere to run.
This is Abad, and there can't be a place for Sheila in Abad or anything like that. The queen wants Sheila dead. The Queen wants what the country wants. The Queen's wish is the wish of the country. Everyone wants Sheila dead. Everyone wants to kill Sheila.
There's no escape anywhere.
Still, he pulls Sheila's hand, so she has no choice but to walk out. There is an impending chase from the rear. On the path, the guards have gathered even more and the numbers have increased, and thousands of Knights soldiers have arrived from the right hand side. It seemed like rage. Wouldn't it be easier if you were drunk by that fury and died?
But I can't die.
You can't die.
I was completely forgiven for dying without being asked why I had to die.
(That's right. I'm not dead yet. You can't die.)
If you die, that's it. It's too early to end it all. Not until you know why. Then you can die. I have no complaints about being killed. If my mother is suffering, if she even thinks she has to worry and kill for herself, she can be killed. Let's get killed. Let's end this.
Anything, that's how it ends.
But for that, too, we had to crack this situation open.
Sheila looked up. The enemy is all around except his left hand. The group approaching from the rear right is troublesome on the number, but the most difficult enemy is the three knights approaching from the rear. Summoning weapons and weapon users have been found to be extremely strong because their bones are broken even if they are dealt with normally. You don't need to fight properly. Forward, it seemed easiest to break through the formation of guards blocking the passage.
"Wait."
"Who waits!
Setuna screamed back and looked back and hit the dark doll on the sword man.
"Now what?
The knight of the sword asked without changing his expression when he cut off the dark doll that flew in without suffering.
"Huh?"
"Like Setuna?
"Eh."
Sheila was stunned. Sure, I did. It's gone. I slipped my mouth. It's not a pseudonym, it's a real name. It wasn't loud, and it should have been so fine that it could only reach Setuna's ears, but the knights have a summoning arm in their hands. It wasn't surprising that that hearing was enhanced, and it wasn't strange if their ears heard Sheila whispering.
"Setsuna...... are you that Setsuna?
Next to the swordsman's confusion, the man of the great sword turned to his face and saw the bowman.
"Hey, Terius' report. So, weren't we talking about miscellaneous fish?
"Exactly. Miscellaneous fish say too much. I thought you could use it more than a soldier."
I told you it wasn't as much a vessel as a hero.
"Oh."
"Did you attack me?
"Mm-hmm. So you're less than a soldier."
"You're wrong."
"I know."
The exchange between the Great Swordsman and the Bow seemed like a testament to the fact that, although it was the tone that was light, he had not looked lightly at Setuna. And knowing that the armed summoner in the mask is that setuna makes him even more alert. Setuna. Black spear setuna. It is clear from the summoning armed that he has not exhausted that strength.
Although it is strange not to question that Setuna uses a black mask.
"Terius?"
Setuna's doubts were thwarted by the voice of the sword man.
"Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard...... Gandia's Hall of Heroes, why are you here? Why are you taking Princess Sheila?"
"Well, Sheila's in trouble!
Although Setuna said so back, it is obvious from the reaction that she is halfway out of it. They found out who they were supposed to hide. That too, Sheila's inadvertence. Sheila felt everything collapse from the scaffold. This ruins everything. Because of this, he said he's come this far with the help of Setsuna, but he's been hiding who Setsuna is.
It definitely develops into a big problem.
"Is that all?
"What else is there?
"No... fine. It's just like us. Are you like us?"
"I don't know who..."
"It's the same thing. Same. Reach out because you're in trouble. Help me because I'm counting on you. Because you crave salvation, save. That's all we want."
"Yes... keep spies sneaking into people's countries."
Setuna's words are provocative at all times. It was clear from a series of words and deeds that Setuna had no good feelings for Benoagard. Whether or not it was caused by Benoagard releasing spies to Gandia.
"To listen to the voice of salvation, you can't just stay in your own country?
The words of the sword man, though not incomprehensible, are not in a situation of understanding and admiration.
"But now I can't miss you more and more. Princess Sheila - No, should I say traitor or something?
The chilling eyes of the sword man gave a more frozen glow. I can shoot him. I can't resist because of what he said. traffickers
"Traitor......"
Sheila, stunned, rebelled the word and was struck by the meaning of the word. The meaning was understood in an instant. How he interpreted what and branded Sheila a traitor. I have reason to be convinced. And it is also undeniable. Regardless, I don't mean that to Sheila. Sheila only visited Abad to stop the execution of Larnheil's clan royalist party, making it impossible to find any more meaning in this series of actions, etc.
But the sword man's words also make sense.
Yes, it can be interpreted.
"What the fuck!
"For whatever reason, it can only be considered an act of betrayal of a country, such as drawing others in without any understanding of the country"
"Where's the traitor?"
"Uncle Setuna... you don't understand your position, do you? Think carefully about how important you are to Gandhia and how critical you are in battle. Thousands of unjust and unjust, you can say that you are comparable to the power of a nation by yourself."
"Terius' bastard hated it when he said he was a hero of the idol."
"His report contains too much subjectivity"
"Oh, Lord Commander, you have to stick with me."
"More fun to go home to Benoa"
"- She brought in so much fighting power. Isn't it hard for you to deal with all Abard's power by yourself? Losing the Beast Princess and having to rely on the Knights is the status quo of Abad, so it's not impossible to wipe it out by yourself."
The word the swordsman poked at Setuna is nothing but a true argument. Setuna, however, had such an attitude as where the wind blows, such as such an argument.
"So what's up? I said I wouldn't do that."
"Whatever you think, it means the Abad government doesn't think so, Uncle Setuna. The fact that you broke into Abad with Princess Sheila, who was supposed to be dead, and tried to ruin a public execution, is not surprising to be seen as the beginning of the Abad invasion by Gandhia"
"Ha... Gandhia did that -"
"You think I won't?
The sword man's bluff is cold. His eyes were always cold enough to think that no man could fit as well as him with the word cold.
"Gandhia is a country that has quickly transformed itself into a great power in the past year. Uncle Setuna, you must have been the driving force behind that transformation. No one understands a country better than you, Gandhia. Driven by ambition and desire, what makes it so easy for a country to stop running to this day?"
"I'll stop. Right now, Gandhia is stopping and focusing on home affairs."
"... well, fine"
He shook his head like it was out there. Maybe you thought it wouldn't be a conversation, and in fact, it's visible that it won't be a conversation. Setuna is a Gandhian person. It's natural to think things through in Gandia's shoes, and there's no mistake whatsoever. In contrast, the man of the sword is a man of Benoagard, and he also becomes a word, a thought, in the position of Benoagard.
That's why they don't engage.
"I don't care about Gandia's circumstances, etc. The problem is the fact that Princess Sheila brought Gandia's black spear into the country and raided the execution venue. I'm gonna run out of this."
That was also a heavy fact for Sheila.
It's true.
It is a reality that cannot be overridden.
Sheila, like him, did break into Abad with Gandia's black spear and raided the execution venue. That's the only fact I can't deny. And for accusing me of being a traitor, Sheila has no words to return it. Of course, Sheila's purpose is not to be a traitor or anything. It's something else. But as helpless as those words are, even Sheila can tell.
Nothing is more helpless than words.
In reality, Sheila was under Gandhian asylum and was starting her life as a Gandhian. Such a man visited his country along with Gandia's supreme forces of war and tried to stop the execution of anti-royal forces. If we only arranged the facts, we couldn't help but be slandered by traitors.
Whether or not it is acceptable because we have no choice is another story.
"Princess Sheila. You're a traitor. There's no escape for you. If you die clean here, you'll die without wearing the traitor's stigma, right?
"Here..."
"Sheila! It's their bullshit. I don't need to hear it!
"Nonsense?"
Sheila finally rebuffed Setuna's words. I'm glad to say that my head hasn't followed me at all in so many successive situations. I knew what was going on, so I did my best. No, I haven't even been able to get an accurate picture of the situation. I can't keep up with my thoughts. I can't turn my head. I can't think. I don't want to think about it. You have to think about it. You should think about it. Think or not, that fills my head.
"You're playing with me, Uncle Tsubaki."
"Home affairs interference in territorial assault, execution-site raids - and breaking and entering. If you want to do something, do it, don't you think so?
When I noticed, a great swordsman and a bowman stood on Setuna's left and right. Sheila couldn't even think about how she moved. Was it the rate at which you couldn't catch up with the aid of Heart of Beast, or simply, missed it because Sheila is in a state of confusion?
Probably the latter.
Setsuna is flat. Left flat, he thrust Sheila backwards. The moment she was thrust, Sheila saw Setuna fly forward. Multiple body dark dolls emerge and are attacked by the Great Swordsman and the Bowman. The arrow of light emitted by the bowman beats through the dark dolls one after the other, and a glimmer of the great sword cuts through multiple dark dolls. It doesn't even buy me time. but the distance between Sheila and the knights opened.
Sheila watched Setuna jump on the sword man as she was pushed away. The bow and sword turn this way. There is a distance. Sheila stood up and turned back. I finally understood Setsuna's intentions. Setsuna's trying to get Sheila out of here. The aim of the Knights Knights is Sheila's life. Sheila's the one who has to run.
I don't think I can handle it where I escaped.
But if you don't run, they'll just kill you.
You can't be killed right now.
I wanted to know the truth.
I needed to know why I had to be killed.
Otherwise, you can't die if you die.
What are you gonna do?
"Run... run away"
Sheila burst out with her hands holding back the ragna that began to rumble under her clothes. Ragna responded to the arrows of light flying from the rear. A magical barrier plays me an arrow of light. There was no problem with the Great Swordsmen who arrived if they moved faster than the Great Swordsmen. Sheila is a beast princess. He's a Heart of Beast user. Losing to the user of the summoning arm at speed is not what it is.
On the road, the guards are swelling to about thirty. I guess the formation that fills the aisle has the intention of preventing Sheila and the others from escaping by building meat walls. If only we could prevent escape, then the Knights of Benoagard would do the rest. Abard's Beast Battle Regiment and other forces. I haven't asked for it, but given the power, it might be a natural decision.
(What do we do...?
What Sheila was lost in was that to break through the meat wall, the soldiers had to be overthrown. This one gets the Heart of Beast. Fighting not to kill is not something else, not difficult. However, hands-down means that there is also the possibility of delays in responding to the two knights looming from behind. No, in the first place, I don't have time for guards. The moment I get caught up in the meat wall, I'm caught up with the Great Swordsman.
It was then.
"Dora!
When I thought I heard a painful scream along with the fierce temper, I saw one of the guards launch high in the sky in the cry. No, not just one. Two, three, four and then they are launched.
"Ha-ha-ha! It's all smashed. Whoa!
What was heard was a shout from an Esque-Soma-like figure, and Sheila realized that the other side of the meat wall by the guards - in other words, the Sidonian mercenary regiment - came from the battlefield exterior. Esq apparently managed to break through the security net in the upstairs northern section. It should also be said that Setuna's ordering Dorin and Remill to rendezvous with Esq did the job.
"Die, die, Neewe, die with me!
I hear a voice behind Sheila's back against the escs who destroy the meat walls while doing something noisy.
"What ah?
"There are usually forty-two people. Perhaps Princess Sheila's collaborator."
"Hiccup!
Esq puts up guards as he wields a rod-shaped weapon. It wasn't long. Soon, thirty guards were wiped out. The meat wall completely collapses and the path opens. Except there's the Esques and the Sydney Mercenaries ahead, and you can't go outside without breaking through them. Sheila was somewhat anxious only because Esq was running noisy words.
"Esq! I'm in a good place!
I raise my face in a position where Esq swung through the gain to Setuna's scream.
"Am I?... that? What's going on?
"Run outside with Sheila!
"To? Run away?
"Get out of the sentier!
Sheila is reaching in front of Esq as Setuna's screams echo. Overcoming the guards who fainted, receiving mercenaries.
"Han? What are you doing?
With the blurry esc on her ass, Sheila looked back at Setuna. Setuna was in the midst of a battle with the Knight of the Sword as thousands of Knights pushed forward in fury. Slaughter runs and Setuna is blown away. I didn't see any blood. It hasn't been slashed. I must have managed to prevent it or how.
"Setuna!
Sheila screamed, but was realizing it wasn't a situation where she could just keep an eye on him. The Great Swordsman is approaching, and the Bowman is after this one. Fortunately, the bowman's arrow of light has no problem because Ragna prevents it, but Sheila doesn't know what it's like to be an attack of the Great Swordsman.
"Sheila, live!
Setuna removed her mask in the hollow. I screamed as I removed it and sent the black mask back as I landed. His voice was heard as the black mask was wrapped in light and turned into countless particles.
"Armed Summoning"
Explosive light emanated from Setuna's entire body, and everyone who was moving at that time stopped their legs and looked back at the light source.
At the next moment, a boy with a disastrous pitch-black spear was pointing that cut this way. When I wonder if the tip of the ear has burned white, the blinking light runs and kills me here. Shortly after the Great Swordsman retreated as he struck his tongue, the running of light pierced the ground in front of Sheila and exploded.
Sheila turned her back on Setuna as the exploding light blew like a storm.
There was only one way to escape.
