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

Episode One Thousand Ten What is a Military Master? (XI)

The Taural Fortress is a major military stronghold of the Abad army known for its location in northeastern Abad territory. After the Kruselk war, the western half of Kruselk became Abad's and Lanseed and Gordvan became Abad's cities, positioning Lanseed in the northeastern city. Still, when it comes to the northeast of Abad, the perception of Taural is not only amongst the Abad people, but also among one of their neighbors, perhaps because of the intense impression of the Taural fortress.

The Taural Fortress is arguably the largest military base in Abad. It is one of the fortresses that is said to be difficult to defeat, and there are countless buildings within a vast lot surrounded by multiple robust walls, capable of putting in thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers. From Abad's mobilized forces, although it was an overly gigantic fortress, it was rather less used as a military base and more often served as a single city.

It is also known as the territory of Abad's collar lord Lahnheil-Lars-Taural.

And due to the influence of Lernheil, who was the head of the Sheila faction, Fortress Taural was used for a time as a base for the Sheila faction, gathering nobles and military personnel from all over Abad and wrapped up in a bitter air, he said. The fact that the civil unrest by the Sheila faction led by Princess Sheila was drawn to the curtain by the tragic outcome of the Battle of Endwidge is new to memory. Thereafter, after Larnheil was taken to the King's capital, the Taural fortress was placed under the control of the double-toothed general Zayed-Hayne. As I said earlier, the Taural Fortress is a military base. Perhaps it was only natural that Zayed-Hayne, one of Abad's two great generals, was to be administered.

Most importantly, Zayed-Hayne was so busy that he showed his face to Fortress Taural once after Lernheil was gone that he seemed to leave everything to his men.

That, too, is what we have no choice.

The Abad army has been bisected by the activation of the Sheila faction. Double horned General Garan-Sidor per the Sheila faction, and most of his troops gave to the Sheila faction. After the Battle of Endwidge, some seemed to have returned to the Abad Army, but the majority were punished for inflicting rebellion. Naturally, the Abad army has to fall short of talent. All the burden of Galan-Sidor's disappearance was on Zayed-Hayne. That's not all. The extreme decline in troop strength was such that it had to depend on other countries, and Abard now seemed to be in such a situation as relying on reinforcements from Benoagard.

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that such Abad's plight led to Charlum's great victory, and he was even grateful for this situation.

Outside the window, the light plugged in from the clouds is oddly beautiful. Where the light falls, the township of Taural spreads. Inside the Taural Fortress is a residential area, which at first glance is a very ordinary city. The stone city was turned into a stormy battlefield a few days ago. The sudden raid by the Charles Army would have been about water in their bedears to the Abad Army, which was stationed at the Taural Fortress, but as for this one, I didn't know that.

The storm has now subsided, and a serene and extreme routine is beginning to emerge. Most importantly, the only thing that seemed calm might be the extent to which it could be seen through the window, and there could have been looting outside of sight. Two days after the Tallal Fortress repression. I think I've taken everything I can.

With the door slammed lightly, he learned the feeling of bringing consciousness back into reality.

"Open it."

When he ordered, a man's squire, who had refrained from doing so on the wall, responded quickly. When the squire opened both open doors, a person stood as he had expected. A young man. He was characterised by strangely reddish dark hair, with long clothes wrapped around his long skinny body, but he looked swollen.

"Luv-Seezuel, I'm here now after a tour of Taural"

"Are we done?

I waited for a young man named Luv-Seezuel to step indoors and then asked. When Luv enters the room, the squire leaves the room and closes the door. A well-educated squire could be called his proud squire.

Luv nodded quietly as he walked up to his sight.

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do to stop all this."

"I don't have a choice. Post-winning looting is the only privilege allowed to the soldiers. You can call it a reward for fighting out and surviving."

Him - Xanrude Lars-Dinwood, urging Luv to sit in the chair in front of him, lowered his back to the opposite seat from scratch. The two chairs are placed to pinch a small desk.

"I don't mean to know"

"I also know what Sir wants. But if we make him stop plundering after the war, there will be dissatisfaction from the soldiers. If that's all, it's still fine. Disgruntled, blow it up. You can't even see it."

"Yes......"

"Sir, I suppose you want me to imitate Gandhia. Sir's venerable Nares-Ragnahorn, told me to imitate the way he did his things"

When Xanrud looked into Luv's eyes, he didn't even try to look away. Blue eyes, looking straight at this one. If anything else, it's a distraction along with the excuse to hit disrespect, but only he was always strong against Xanrud's gaze as well. I'm glad to say that the temper that doesn't suit a good man's appearance is why Luv-Seasel's Luv-Seasel is so. It's also why Zanlud likes him.

If there was anything I didn't like, it was that he was too impressed by Gandhian military master Nares-Ragnahorn. I also prefer to wear long clothes because I heard about Nares always wearing long clothes. I've said many times that it doesn't look good on Luv, but there was no sign he would have ears to listen to.

Xanrud also knows that Nares-Ragnahorn is a rarely talented military teacher. Even the baby will know that Gandhia became the largest country in the group of small nations in less than a year, thanks to the military and heroes. He admires Nares too purely, even though Luv, whose goal is to set the culmination of a military teacher, has no choice but to admire him.

He said it was enough to send a letter to Nares, and now, more often than not, to exchange letters. Even if there is no danger of State secrets spilling from his letters, it does not seem too good to get too close to human beings in other countries. Especially for weak people like him, relationships within his own country are the priority.

"Those things are just hypocrisy"

I threw it away the way Gandhia did.

Gandia has fought countless battles since the Logner War. That is why we have experienced such a great battlefield as Charles and others that we cannot compare, and have adorned many of them with victories. But as far as I can tell, Gandia never worked a looting act after the war. There is even talk of banning looting and severely punishing those who break the ban. Why did you forbid looting? I also know an explanation for that. The victorious and dominant city is Gandia territory from that moment on. I wonder if any of them will work in their own territories for looting.

"It's just a deception to mislead an act of aggression. What do we fight for? To take it away. Take away the territory, take away the person, take away the hardware, take away the law and the code, and finally rob the country. Fight for it. Fight, bleed, and scatter your life. To take that and this too. After you win, you fight to take everything away."

The only pleasure that looting was allowed to the soldiers is not a mistake in a way. It is no exaggeration to speak of the common sense of the battlefield that this long and long warring world has created. In war, the winner is justice and everything. The loser has no choice but to obey the winner, and it is only logical that the winner takes away and the loser takes away.

"Yet it would be just a eulogy not to allow even post-war looting. For after the war? To lubricate post-war rule? Such a thing, after you take it all away, whatever. A weak creature, such as a human being. You can rule by force. Wouldn't it?

"Ha"

"Well, I'm not denying Sir's idea. If Sir wants to forbid usurpation, I know it's worth a thought. I don't know as many talents as Sir."

"It's a terrible thing."

"What, I am only justly appreciating Sir. A man as talented as Sir deserves to have power..."

To Zanloud's words, Luv seemed frightened. He is the owner of a temper that is not even cowered by the gaze of Zanrud, the general of Charles, but when he was appreciated, he quickly changed his attitude to leopard. I'm not used to being praised. Smoking underground for a long time is a distant factor.

"In fact, by moving the army as Sir suggested, we were able to drop the Taural Fortress and get the bridge headrests of the Abad invasion. Hardly any damage. Neither that nor this is possible because Sir has worked out his strategy and braided his tactics. Without Sir, it would have been another dream, such as Charles flying a flag on the land."

Xanrude put his emotions into the words. The talent I found worked. I couldn't be happier.

Multiplied by Abad's confusion, shouldn't it invade Abad territory, was a controversial topic in Charles.

Because Abard was not exaggerating to say that he was extremely confused since Princess Sheila's revolt.

With the triumph of the Royal Palace Army in the Battle of Endwidge, and the loss of heavy Sheila towns, including Princess Sheila, such as General Garan-Sidor, Kean-Window and Langrid Zan-Sidonia, the Sheila faction followed a path of devastation. As a result, Abard was thought to have been completely ruled by the Prince Sail faction, but his inner life was very different.

And it may be said that it was the public execution of the Uncle Lernheil clan in Sentier that made that apparent. Abad declared that he would carry out a public execution of Larnheil and his clan royalist party as a start to crush the Sheila faction that was lurking in the rings to lice.

At least, that's what Charlum received. I viewed it as a late act that I could not afford the Prince Sail and Royal Palace factions of Abad. But as soon as I found out, the truth seemed very different. It seemed unmistakable that the royalists could not afford it, but public executions were apparently meant to broil Princess Sheila, who would be lurking somewhere.

That can also be seen from Abard's statement that Princess Sheila, along with a group led by Gandia hero Setuna-Kamiya, raided the Sentier arena and ruined the execution.

And what I could tell from that truth was that Abard's political situation was still disturbing and that he might not have taken control.

Although I was surprised that Princess Sheila was alive, in view of the mood of the Royal Abad, it was not an unthinkable story. Although it was the civil unrest that caused it, Princess Sheila is no stranger to being an irreplaceable daughter to the King and his wife. I felt sorry for him and I couldn't help but fake the execution.

But it is paradoxical to think that a princess whose life was perpetuated by a false execution is seared out. I don't have any muscles. This is probably because of the confusion over Abard's politics, the conflict between those who want to keep Princess Sheila alive and those who want Princess Sheila to be the deceased.

I guess that resulted in a case like that.

And that was the same thing that was hustling around the neighboring countries that Abard was in the confusion and created a gap to penetrate.

Charlum's opinion that the country should, naturally, invade Abad and, at the very least, cut off its territory burned, and public opinion also supported the outpost.

Charlum was enlivened, it can be said, because Kruselk was defeated by the coalition forces and the Demon King's fears disappeared. In that sense, I was grateful to the coalition participating countries such as Gandhia and Abad. Because it was a country called Charlum that never arose an argument that we should stop travelling to Abad, etc. There are also concerns about the rapid expansion of Gandia. The fear of being drunk by Gandia if we do not expand the national territory a little and enhance the power of the country has become an obsessive notion that drives Charles.

Abard's confusion could have been described as a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Charles.

The invasion of Abad territory has been decided. But we got an opinion on where we're going to attack. The most supported was the city of Lanseed, northeast of Abad.

It was touched that Lanseed was once the territory of Kruselk, a city that became the territory of Abad after the Kruselk war. It is the most northeasterly located city in Abad territory and is in such a position that you can reach it if you go straight south from the city of Sirlaan in Charlum. It's a great place to attack. It was only natural that there would be support for the view that we should attack Rancid.

But the young military master, Luv-Seezuel, assumed that he should attack the Taural fortress, not the rancid. The Taural Fortress is Abad's largest military base and is known for its difficult defeat. If it can be contained, it will certainly work in favour of future strategies.

Taural is located west of Lanseed and was formerly known as a city northeast of Abad. If we were to attack, it would still consist of Salaan, but we would have to travel longer distances than Lanseed, and the Charlum army sometimes knew with the robustness of the Taural fortress, and there was less to support his opinion.

But Luv didn't bend the theory. One of the reasons he narrowed his invasion destination to a Taural fortress was that if he attacked Ranseed, it would stimulate Gandhia. Lanseed is formerly part of Kruselk territory. The area formerly known as Kruselk is divided and governed by two countries. Abad in the western half, and Gandhia in the eastern half, and attacking Ranseed, there's no chance that Gandhia in the eastern half will overreact, which is why he should attack Fortress Taural.

Regardless, that wasn't the only thing that forced him to hold the Taural Fortress invasion.

He really needed to attack the Taural Fortress and direct the Abad government's attention here.

In doing so, it was his intention to push back Gandhia's Caesar offense. And that's not what he thinks alone, etc. The intentions of Gundia's military master, Nares-Ragnahorn, are involved.

Of course, it was not like Nahles-Ragnahorn did anything to inform Charles' military master beforehand of Gandhia's military actions. The letter he showed me to Zanloud didn't even have the text to smell the Ceasel invasion. But Luv read Nares' intentions from the letter. I guess it was a sentence only Luv and Nahless could understand.

Anyway, Luv plotted a taural invasion to coincide with Nahless' invasion of Ceasel.

Xanrud supported him after he heard the sincerity from Luv and summed up the views of the Charles Army in one piece. Zanloud's opinion, which reigns at the apex of the Charles army, is respected above all else, and how black and white he becomes when it comes to white.

The Charles army then invaded the Taural fortress from Salaan and fell after a fierce battle that lasted two days. Then two days have passed. The soldiers will be finished looting and in rest. When the rest is over, the next battle begins.

"Next, the King's Capital."

Zanloud dropped his gaze on the map he had spread over his desk. The map, which focuses on Charles, also spells out the city of Abad. It is a map of where Lanseed was still the territory of Kruselk and is also noted as an independent country, such as Knox and Niwale.

The Zanluds are at the Taural Fortress. It is far from Bandor, the King's capital, northeast of Abad and located slightly west of Abad. We have to drive long.

On top of that, the Wang capital may be referred to as the eye and nose tip of the Gandian army, which would have dominated Cesar, and it is not unlikely that the battle has begun sooner than the Charles army of the Taural fortress reaches the Wang capital.

But if you ask Luv, he says that's what you're after.

"Isn't it a bad idea to sell your thanks to Gandhia..."

It was Luv's opinion that helping the Gandhian army invade the King's Capital would help to negotiate with Gandhia in the future, and Zanrud agreed with that.

It's all too ridiculous to be hostile to the enlarged Gandhia so far. Charlum is by no means a weak country, but it is not powerful enough to counter Gandhia. I expanded the territory a little and craved the power to fight Gandhia, but I also knew it wouldn't come true. Where we have expanded our national territory, Gandia's rate of expansion is much faster. It's not even a dream to antagonize the power of war if you don't get the same amount of national territory. Then we should negotiate with Gandhia, establish friendship, or enter into an inviolability treaty.

That would be the only way for Charles to survive.
