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

"Setuna. I'm so glad you're okay."

That's what Leongand said when he came into the hospital room. The golden hair and only one blue eye looked more dazzling than usual, perhaps because Leongando was holding it together and smiling at me.

Setuna laughed back, unable to move one on the sleeping table.

"Is this safe or not?"

"He's alive. You're supposed to be safe. And that's enough."

Leongand has laughed uncontrollably. I was happy with Leongand's use of that kind of chi, and Setsuna was about to spill tears. I guess I'm crying brittle not because of my age, etc. (I'm only a teenager), but because I can't move out of my bedroom. I can't wait to take care of one.

Leongand meant that, during his administration, he could no longer stay even when he heard Setuna regained consciousness and flew in. The administration was left to the neighbors, including Zephyr-Maldean, who brought one, the SS, to this point. It's so light that it doesn't deserve the king of the great powers, but that kind of lightness must be why Leongando's Leongando wants to be.

Leongand began to tell us why he had flown all the way to the battalion building when he was one delight that Setuna regained consciousness.

"There's nothing else to talk about. It's about the person you fought for."

"Neewe, right?"

"Oh. Niewe. Someone with the same name as you..."

Coming in with a bitter smile. It is unthinkable to the godless Setuna that there is a person in the world with the exact same name as the pseudonym that Faria conceived for me. And the person with the same name as the pseudonym was Setsuna and Melon, as well as the user of the Edge of Surst, which should also be a crack in the black spear. I have to report that.

"I hear he named himself Niewe Raam-Alsur. Ragna told me."

"From Ragna?

"Oh. He taught me a lot"

That's when, thanks to Ragna being on my side, I was able to pass on information even while Setsuna was in a coma.

"You didn't have any teeth at all, nor did Neewe's ability to summon an armed - or edge of thrust - seem incomprehensible."

I don't have a word to give it back.

It's about Ragna. Leongando questioned me and I guess I talked to him without covering it up. He thought it was the role of Setsuna's servants. And the idea is not a mistake. He did the right job as a servant. I had to thank Setuna for telling me everything I had to.

I'll praise you later - and so on, I think about Niewe.

"Glad to hear that."

"Yes?"

Setsuna looked suspicious, not knowing what Leongand intended to say.

"I'm glad you lost something like this."

"Are you glad I lost? What do you mean?

"Don't get me wrong, it's not like you're about to be killed. I'm relieved you're alive."

"I know that..."

"Then I'm relieved. It's hard for you to get me wrong and resent you."

Leongand laughed. The uncontrolled way of laughing seemed to stain Setuna's heart.

"Well, let's talk about why it's good that you lost. It has to do with who he is."

"He...... who Niewe is?

"That's right. Identity of Niewe Raam-Alsur"

"I do care, though"

How can you tell that what the name Raam means has anything to do with it? I can also imagine that Niewe is in a special position because it sounds similar to Lars, who shows his collar. But I don't know what that really means.

Leongand has told me quietly.

"He is the prince of the empire."

"Huh...?

"The Zaion Empire. You've heard about it, haven't you?

"Of course it is. One of the three major forces of the continent, dominating the eastern part of the continent... that empire, right?"

Setsuna answered, roughly. I may have made a mistake in my memory, so I didn't. Imagine the immensity of the country. The intent of Leongand's remarks is beginning to be understood.

On the Wargrain continent there are forces known as the three main forces. Vashtarian communities lying in the northern part of the continent, the Kingdom of the Holy Deal, which reigns in the western part of the continent, and the Zaion Empire, which dominates the eastern part of the continent. Small groups of nations exist to be besieged by the spheres of power of those three forces.

"That's right. Niewe Raam-Alsur was the prince of the empire. Just look it up and you'll find out. A prince at the end of the present emperor Siwelhein Leighnas-Zaion, a man who was given the title of Lord of the Fight. We're talking about being out of the next emperor's candidacy, but that's just a rumor that's being passed on to small groups of nations, too. It's not credible."

"Neewe... Prince of the Empire..."

Disgusting, stunned. There was no way out, and it was completely unimaginable. It is no exaggeration to say that there are two figures, myself and a melon, and that the person deserves a surprise just to say that he was chosen as a piece of black spear, but that the person is in his capacity as the prince of the empire, so that surprise is enough to rock heaven and earth.

That's why.

Leongand opens his mouth slowly.

"So I'm glad you lost and you didn't have to kill him."

"... I see"

"You win means you kill him. Wouldn't you?

"Right."

That's undeniable.

The battle between the armed summoners, basically, will be a life-threatening one. Winners live, losers die. Summoning weapons are powerful weapons. Though adding or subtracting is what you can do, it's common for the world to lose if you do that. If so, we have to fight as hard as we can, and if we bump into each other as hard as we can, it's life and death that separates us from victory and defeat.

Winning means killing your opponent.

Losing means being killed by the other person.

Besides, it is also likely to be a source of disaster if we let it live.

So kill.

A bitter experience is planting that idea in Setuna.

"What would have happened if Neewe had been killed with your hands"

To Leongand's word, Setuna learned the feeling of her spine freezing. Leongand is glad Setsuna lost, too.

What would have happened if, at that time, Neewe's abilities had been breached and he had been in his hands? It's just horrible to imagine.

Regardless, Setuna was badly injured because it was impossible to do so, and she couldn't help but get out of the hospital room.

"No, I'm not talking about what's going to happen right now... but the empire would have moved not far away. The prince was murdered. It doesn't make any difference how out of the next emperor's candidacy you are a prince. The Empire would have moved the army in retaliation. And then what happens? Empire moves, which means Vashtalia, Holy Deal Kingdom moves."

"The empire just moved, is it?

"Naturally. The three major forces remain silent because of the antagonistic forces in their possession. Show me the intent of any country to invade a small group of nations. Other forces would move in the same way to maintain antagonism. It is the equilibrium that has kept the continent in one form for hundreds of years that makes the sound and collapses away.... the simultaneous invasion of the three major forces. The small nation will disappear without a trace."

Leongand went with a sigh.

A whole group of small nations and a force of the same magnitude are pushing from the three sides. weak nations and so on quickly ravaged,

It will be swallowed and crushed. And that doesn't change Gandia either. It is within the small group of nations that we are a great power and boast of a powerful nation, but there was no way that we could be safe by turning all three forces against our enemies. It is not hard to imagine that it would be swallowed up from afar, such as Kruselk, and that any of them would be ravaged to the mainland of Gandia.

"I am moving to make a small group of nations the fourth largest force on the continent. The goal is to create absolute equilibrium by making the continent divided and governed by the four main forces. Such as the unification of small groups of nations by Gandhia"

So Leongando means he doesn't choose the means to expand Gandhia's dominance. It not only dominates in the exercise of strength, but also puts it under control in a political rush. Expanding our national territory is not all we can do. It was important to form an alliance and to strengthen that belt, as well as to increase the number of belonging countries. What matters is how quickly and quickly we can unify the small group of nations.

"Until then, the three forces must remain silent."

Leongand turned to me with the face he was pointing out the window. The ship's eyes seemed radiant.

"Which means Neewe must not be killed"

The only reason Setuna swallowed Tsubagami after hearing Leongand's words was because it was outrageous.

"But will Niewe try to kill you?

"He's an Edge of Thurst user, so he's going to be after my life again."

"Which means you, too, have a reason to fight Neewe."

"Yes."

"Pieces of Black Spear Power......? Destiny does something harsh."

Leongand sighed loudly.

"But. Killing Neewe is unacceptable. If we do that, the end of the world will be the same. At least, the history of the group of small nations ends. If you're going to fight Neewe, don't just kill him."

"Whatever you say..."

"I'm sorry. With all this in sight, I'm going to ask you to add and subtract. I'm so sorry. Just push my thoughts."

"No. It is only natural that His Majesty puts the country first. And I only obey His Majesty's life. That's how I got here. There's no such thing as disagreement."

And laugh bitterly.

"Besides, it's easier to be ordered not to kill than to be ordered to kill."

"... setuna"

Leongand narrowed his eyes. I wanted to know a little bit about what he thought and what he thought, but decided not to think about it. Setuna can't even tell, such as Leongand's thoughts. Leongand's horizons are much wider than Setuna's and look far beyond. It's no surprise that Setuna is thinking about things that will never end, and that's why he's the monarch of a great power.

For a while, silence ensued.

The only thing I could hear was the sound of the wind blowing through rocking the book.

"It's for the good of the country. One more thing, will you listen to me?

After a while, what Leongand had come for was also unimaginable to Setuna.
