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

Episode One Hundred and Twelve: The Successor of the Lion

On September 22nd, nine days had passed since the battle between Setuna and Niewe, and the noise of the King's capital was subsiding.

The Wang capital was overflowing for a time with worries about Setsuna, who was seriously wounded dying in the battle against Niewe, anxious that Setsuna, who was supposed to be an invincible hero, had been defeated, and that Setsuna was also a human being.

In addition, rumors spread that Niewe, who had inflicted mortal injuries on Setuna, was still lurking in the Wang capital, and the sightings continued unabated. With powerful information, although the Urban Guard moved, all the information brought to the Urban Guard was based on rumors, and it was not possible to determine where Neewe was, or even grasp its footsteps. The state of the search for the City Guard also raised the voice that Niewe might not be in the King's Capital anymore, but Setsuna makes it clear that he would be in the King's Capital.

According to Setsuna, Neewe came to this king's capital to kill Setsuna, and he would not leave Setsuna's surroundings until he had killed Setsuna. It seems clear to Setsuna that Niewe is the summoner of the Edge of Thurst and that the purpose of the Edge of Thurst is the destruction and absorption of the chaos bringer. but that's not the only thing driving Niewe, either.

"Neewe is me."

The words Setsuna said remain in Leongand's ears.

It's me in this world.

Setsuna, even with a serious face, has said something she does not imagine.

It is a story Leongando is also well aware that he is a man of another world, summoned by the Summoning Armed Gate of Vermillion of Azmaria-Altemax. I hear it directly from him. And I guess that's true, also because of his lack of knowledge of this world and the different worlds from which he was born and raised. It wasn't the kind of story that could be created with fantasy or delusion, and Setsuna wasn't the kind of person who could tell a lie on that occasion. More convincing than anything. Besides, it's no surprise that there are otherworlds, as you can see from the presence of Faria Belfaria-Aslalia, who has otherworlds as her father.

Neewe Raam-Alsur is Setuna in Ils-Valle, he said, of such a different world. They say it's the same as Setuna. When I first heard the story, Leongand doubted his ears and even wondered if he was mad, but he really seemed to think so to see how Setuna was doing with calm itself. And as I listened, Leongand also began to wonder if that was the right perception.

Neewe is a Setuna in this world, and that's why he thinks we have to get rid of Setuna.

That's why Neewe should still be lurking in the king's capital and looking at opportunities to kill Setsuna.

The security of the Lion's Tail building was extremely tight because we needed to arrange to be able to deal with it in case Neewe raided us. Most importantly, Neewe was an opponent who couldn't even fight Setsuna with a black spear. How tightly guarded I was, though I wouldn't have a pile if Niewe attacked me along with those three men's subordination (and I can't throw away the possibility of being more). Still, it would be better than nothing. If Niewe's purpose is Setuna, and protecting Setuna is our purpose, we may be able to detect the raid and escape the difficulties of Setuna alone if we keep our security net tight.

You can't lose Setuna.

His death would be a greater loss to Gandia than to anyone else.

I can tell you that it is an extraordinarily greater loss than Leongand's own death. Setsuna can hit 10,000 demons by herself. He destroyed the giant dragon and also defeated the giant ghost that appeared in Kruselk. Nowhere is it comparable to a single legion. On the other hand, it is not too much to say that even the military can overwhelm them. Just because I lost it doesn't make it easy to replenish.

The fact is understood and recognized by everyone but Leongand.

Citizens of Wangdu were making a fuss about it, too. In case Setuna loses her life, what happens to Gandia's future?

Gandhia got huge. It boasts an imprint that is incomparable with a year ago, and its forces are no longer exaggerated when it comes to the largest group of small nations. There are no enemies in the neighboring countries, and Benoagard, who sees them as virtual enemies, is also overwhelmed in terms of the amount of power they have. Even where I lost Setuna, I don't have to worry about it for the moment. But as soon as the army, which has so far relied on Setuna and the Black Spear, has lost the physical and spiritual pillar of him, we do not know what will happen.

At least, we won't be able to fight like we've done before.

It is obvious that the sacrifice for victory will increase.

Nor can previous victories be said to have been less expensive. Not many victories have been grabbed with much damage. Still, it was true that the black spear Setuna would have done us less damage, and without him Gandhia would not have expanded so rapidly. Whether or not you had an eye for winning the battle against Zalwarn, as it was only by winning against Logner.

The more we think about it, the more we converge on the conclusion that Setuna is essential.

"Losing Setuna is an important part of Gandia. Strictly guard Setuna's perimeter. Don't let him walk outdoors, at least until he's fully recovered."

Leongand ordered that towards the neighbors. It's bad for Setuna, but we don't have to do that to make sure it's all right. Because if the escort can move around freely, they can't protect what they can. Regardless, it's until Setuna's wounds are completely blocked and her health is restored. If he recovers, I don't care how much you walk around. It's about him. Even if I encounter Niewe, he will give me priority to running away rather than fighting.

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Zephyr-Maldean nods. Because he was particularly close to Setsuna among the sides of Leongand, he often became a liaison with Setsuna.

Leongand was now in a meeting with the heavy ministers. Participants in the meeting include his four friends, Elius-Logner, Gilver-Kernall, and former left-eyed general Deion-Hawklow, who had just returned from the Kruselk side, as well as his chief ministers, including General Algazard Barrol-Bargazar, General Staff Allegria Sheen and Ayn-Rajar. Ein has also just returned from Abad, where he has right-eye general Astal-Lanadies in his place. Until the prospect of the reconstruction of the Wang capital and the domestic situation in Abad stabilized, the Gandhian army was to be garrisoned.

General Deion returned home because Krüselk had also become quite stable, and also to allow him to take a vacation when he had long been in command in Krüselk. General Deion tends to be terrible because he's user-friendly. The General's face, which had been around for a long time, seemed somewhat obnoxious. He doesn't talk to himself, he's tired, etc.

That's why there's talk about how to torture Astar, but Astar was younger than Deion and, more importantly, left Mion in charge for a while. On the Mion side, it was quite stable right after the quest, and it was like letting Astar play in the middle. Astar herself, she was so happy to have decided to travel to Abad, she was free. Abard is Abard, too, and he must be free.

"What will the guests of the Holy Kingdom do?

The question I've been asking you is, Gilvale.

"Midgard-Waharam"

"Yes, Lord Midgard is obsessed with Setuna. They used to come in and out of the building here and talk to Setuna."

"I left Midgard to Setuna. I have nothing to say."

And Midgard says he's talking with the momentum to talk about everything if it's Setsuna. Demon crystal doll. Demonic crystal technology. Demonic crystal weapon. A number of words Leongand couldn't get out of him are popping up during his conversation with Setuna. It was Falia who compiled those conversations into a report and submitted them to me. Falia is excellent because Leongand will prepare a report even if he doesn't order anything.

Leongand, intending to hear directly from Setsuna, left Midgard to Setsuna, apparently without even having to hear from Setsuna. Faria is covering all the information Midgard has spoken of.

"So, do you want me to?"

"So far, no suspicious moves on the Midgards?

"Yes, Lord Urk will always be in the building, and it seems he will be in the sight of Lord Faria, even in the building. Lord Midgard is also often caged in his room except when he goes to see Lady Setuna, and there is no noticeable movement"

"If there's no real harm, just throw it away"

To Leongand's words, Gilvere nodded silently. He understands, too. You can't possibly even get Midgard-Weharam, a visitor from Deal, out of the way or something. If he's the average Deal guy, there's nothing wrong with him. But first of all, he was definitely an important figure in Deal. It is because of his standing behavior, but as long as I trust what he has to say, even Deal is someone who has a lot of speaking power. Of course, it is not possible that he is making a false declaration, but if you look at the report from Faria, you can see that there does not seem to be any lies in his words and actions. Unless you're a person in quite a position, there's no way you can bring something out of the country that should also be called a crystal of technology.

"Demon crystal doll"

Crushing, early on back home, I remembered Ayn shining his eyes when he saw a report from Faria. He seemed to wonder if the latest technology brought by guests from Deal would have a positive impact on Gandia's future. Demonic crystal stones are also mined throughout Gandhia. If you can convert that spare Demon Crystal Stone into a weapon, there's nothing better, he says. Of course, on the assumption that what constitutes a Demonic Crystal weapon is something that can withstand pragmatism, but if Demonic Crystal weapons were useful and could be developed within Gandhia, Gandhia's reunification of small groups of nations would be further accelerated. And it also reduces the enormous burden on Setuna. Ein said the possibility seemed bright.

Most importantly, it is unlikely that Midgard will ever teach Gandia the technology Deal has been a secret. I don't even think it's going to work where we negotiated. Midgard didn't give Leongand one piece of information about Demon Crystal technology. It's hard to imagine that he would cooperate with Leongand's dream like that.

"I'm surprised the Holy King has such technology."

"After all, it means we shouldn't turn the three forces against our enemies"

The Kingdom of Holy Deal is not the only one. Neither should the Zaion Empire have turned to its enemies. Neewe, who defeated Setuna, and Neewe's men, who sealed off the Phalia, are only part of the empire's power of war. The Empire is a superpower comparable to Deal. Even if we were lagging behind Deal in terms of technology, it's hard to believe we're lagging behind in terms of battle power. More importantly, the Prince Mizu uses armed summoning techniques. The Empire must have embraced the art of armed summons early on.

The Devil's Crystal technology would have developed, Deal, and the Zaion, which uses armed summoning techniques. What would happen if both countries, which boast an overwhelmingly vast territory compared to Gandhia today, moved all its forces? I feel chilly just imagining it.

"Make Midgard like it and avoid fighting Niewe. So far, it's probably the best option."

"If Lord Midgard wants to investigate Setsuna, how about using that investigation as a trading material?

"I thought about that too... I wonder if Setsuna, anyway, would Midgard shake his head vertically"

Setsuna will accept. It is not him who says no to Leongand's orders. He has the horror of obeying any order. There is such a place that if you order me to die, I will die. As much as I examine my body a little, I wouldn't think anything of it. But Midgard doesn't understand. Providing technology is a technology leak and can be a hostile act. No matter how little Gandhia intended to be hostile to Deal, given the future, it was hard to imagine Midgard would accept.

"It'll be worth a visit."

"Well...... na"

That was the time. When I wondered if the door to the conference room had been opened, the soldiers rushed in with momentum.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness is safe, Your Highness has given birth!

"Seriously......!

Leongand stood up on his knees and saw the joyful face of the soldier jumping into the conference room.

The soldiers were as happy as we were, and I sincerely congratulated them on Leongand and Nage.
