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

Episode One Thousand Twenty-eight: Enemies or Allies (XII)

It was on the third of October the following day that the crowning ceremony ended and the Leongans followed Seilern, king of Lucion.

The day after the crowning ceremony was spent taking festive fatigue, but it wasn't the only day spent. We also actively interacted with the Heads of State, and for that reason we were going to be extra tired, but it could be called pleasant fatigue for Leongand. The feeling of fulfilment of my duty as king gives me a sense of fulfilment. The feeling of fulfilment was that fatigue was to be satisfied and the feeling that fatigue was not meaningless gave him joy.

He discussed the future with St. Saran-Kilclade, Bow of the Squid, and King Salius Ray-Meredo of Meredo, or heard more about the current situation in Abad from Abad Foreign Secretary Adrid Farks. He also met heartily with Serge Ray-Gibelle, the young king of Gibelle, and exchanged words with General Hermaine-Sector.

I also had the opportunity to discuss it with Eliza Lewe-Warall, the princess of Walal and the next queen, but Eliza said many times that Setuna was not there. Eliza seems obsessed with Setuna, but that's because he is the king of Walal and Setuna is the person who saw the end of Dural Ray-Walal scattered in the Battle of Halundor. Eliza even thanked Setuna. Because Setuna didn't kill Dural, Walal was able to get Walleria back. It was a word that Leongand could not understand, but Eliza's desire to see Setsuna was so painfully conveyed that she suspected that Setsuna might have done something to Eliza after the Battle of Hurndor. When I told Eliza, that's not what happened.

Anyway, I knew full well that Princess Eliza was obsessed with Setuna, and I also kept a message from her to Setuna. Eliza apparently wants Setsuna to be ours, but that's all she was going to stop, and that Setsuna shouldn't be Leongand's or anything like that. If Setuna belongs to another country, it will have to be called a threat. No matter how obsessed Eliza was with Setuna and how much she became Queen of Walal, there was no way she could give him away or anything. Where offering Setuna has strengthened the alliance between Walal and Gandia, there is more to it than it deserves.

"Damn, it's trouble for Walal's next queen, too"

On the road to Gandion, Leongando has spilled his stupidity.

It was at the camp at night. The neighbors also slept, and besides Arya, he was talking to Allegrian-Scene, but at that time, it was Eliza who came up on the subject.

"What happened to Her Royal Highness?

"Oh, Princess Eliza is obsessed with Setuna."

"Dear Setuna,"

"Oh. He liked Setuna at first sight."

"At first glance? Master Setsuna is welcome."

"I would have left Lucion to Setuna. That's when."

"You think Her Royal Highness was put out on the battlefield?

"It won't be a strange thing. Linonclair was on the battlefield from the time of the princess, and he was on the front line even after becoming a princess."

"That's right..."

"Well, I know what you want."

Leongand glanced at Allegria's intellectually radiant eyes. Eliza Lewe-Warall was, at first glance, a woman who seemed incapable of fighting, etc. The beautiful princess is the same as Linonclair, but Linonclair was able to do his body. By contrast, Eliza's figure was not that of a warrior. It was only natural for Allegria to wonder. But it seems to be true that Eliza was in the battle of Halundor. Most of all, although I participated, I was not blessed with the opportunity to wave a sword and spear. Before she fought, King Walal died and Walal's purpose was accomplished.

"It seems she saw Setuna after the battle"

"Making Her Highness fall in love at first sight is a sinner too, Setuna."

"Totally."

Leongand has erupted into Allegria's casual utterance. Of course, she would also understand as much that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Walal did not fall in love with Setuna at first sight. Allegria-Scene is strong enough to be Chief of Operations II of the General Staff. He was found talented by Nares and is one of the military candidates alongside Ayn-Rajar. You can say how much more head turns than Leongand.

But you can't give me Setuna.

"Of course."

It was strange that Allegria had gone a little angry.

"Master Setsuna is essential to Gandhia, so it's impossible to give it to a princess from another country because she sees it."

"I know, I know."

"His Royal Highness, the Princess of Walal, wonders what she thinks."

"If we could get Setuna, Walal would be a stone's throw."

"Do you come thinking His Majesty will let go of Lady Setuna, etc."

"No way, you wouldn't even think about that."

Unless you think of Leongand as so incompetent, that's unlikely. I still don't believe in lying around. If there is anything that believes in Leongand's dark reputation, it is too late for information. But if that's the case, it's no surprise you think you can take Setuna away from Leongand. but from the princess of Walal, I saw no such stupidity. Rather, she seemed like a smart, intelligent woman.

"Except if Setuna falls in love with Princess Eliza,"

"Your Majesty will stop you, won't he?

"If Setuna doesn't respond to my restraint, there's nothing I can do."

Leongand made the facts known, not by giving up or anything else. There's no way I can do that, like rule Setuna.

"Setuna belongs to Gandia, but I cannot bind his personal life. You understand that, too."

"I know..."

"Of course, I'm not going to let him go, and I'm going to keep working to make sure he stays in Gandhia"

"How can we continue to hold Master Setuna back to Gandhia?"

Allegria went with a sigh. Leongand recalled that Allegria also likes Setuna no less than Princess Walal. No, Allegria may have a stronger sense of purity than Princess Eliza, who craves Setuna from a political and strategic point of view. Of course, just because he's strong doesn't mean that Allegria is looking at him like the other women surrounding Setuna.

Allegria often sees Setuna from a tactician's standpoint.

"That's what I'd like you to think of, my lords."

"I am not a warrior."

"Must be a military candidate"

"Candidate."

"Hmm. Then let's change the way we say it. I asked the candidates to think about it."

"Ha."

"What. Are you unmotivated?

"I can't think of any way to stop Setuna."

Allegria sighed once again. Words similar to giving up felt the same way about Leongand.

"Master Setsuna is greedy."

"Indeed."

Leongand agreed. She was certainly right.

Setsuna had never wanted anything from herself since she was under Leongand's command. No status, no money, no honor, no woman, nothing greedy. There was no such thing as Setsuna wishing something to Leongand. It's only trivial compared to his accomplishments, such as Eleanor-Diffon's help and the treatment of Rem.

Human beings are creatures of greed. It's not what you are, such as an abnegate person, and even say that there are more people who are greedy. And the more manipulative the deeper you are, the harder it becomes to manipulate the less greedy you are. Setsuna and I are human. Though completely abnegate. but not once has he asked for consideration for his activities. It was worth the surprise, and it was also a great deal to haunt Leongand's head.

Deep humans can fish with things. If you keep giving things, you won't betray them. But when you become a greedless person, you don't.

Setsuna is a greedy person. At least, that's how Leongand recognizes it, and as you can see from Allegria's statement, it's the general thrust of the General Staff.

Leongand, for that reason, came to me with everything he could give me for Setuna. It was also for Setsuna that he created a new, unfamiliar official position as the Royal Palace Summoner, and formed the Royal SS "Lion's Tail" for him. The addition of Faria Belfaria-Aslalia to his subordination is also irrelevant to buy Setuna's interest. One of them was to give the territory and appoint it as a consul. I even increased my territory and picked up Rem from Gibelle as he asked.

All in order not to lose him.

I would do anything to stop Setuna from connecting to Gandhia, and I'm prepared to give it to you.

"I wouldn't be so grateful if he wanted something."

Allegria chuckled as Leongand snapped into a sigh mix.

"As far as Setuna is concerned, that's impossible."

"I guess. Trouble."

"But that's the kind of setuna that I like."

It struck me that Allegria gave a slightly illuminating look. I know that she is a Setuna believer before. Nares says he's enthusiastic enough to tell the story all night long just about Ein and Setuna. But it's hard to imagine her talking about Setuna like Ayn. Ein can convince me, and I can imagine.

"Speaking of which, everyone in the General Staff, including you, likes Setsuna. Anyway, I think we're talking about Setsuna."

"It's not my fault. The director, the chief of O.R. I, the bureaucrats are all concerned about Master Setsuna."

"Is that out of interest in a human being named Setuna?

"Of course, there is, but most importantly, a force called the Black Spear Setuna."

"Black Spear Setuna...... na"

With some sentiment, Leongand rebuffed her words. Setuna's summoning arms, named Chaos Bringer, are often referred to as black spears. It is precisely the shape as it is called, and it is also synonymous with Setuna waving black spears. The black spear that brings about absolute death is Setuna, and Setuna is the black spear.

"Master Setuna doesn't need tactics or measures. A rare person who can just dictate the battlefield by himself. It's not what you are, such as an individual with so much power."

"Right."

There is a race of armed summoners. Those who freely use the armed summons devised by the Red Demon Azmaria-Altemax can be said to have the power to overwhelm ordinary people. All of the weapons and protective equipment that are summoned from the other world by the art of armed summons are extremely powerful and increase the physical abilities of their owners.

It is Setuna who overwhelms such an armed summoner. He has accomplished something no other armed summoner can imitate. His numerous martial arts, which have brought victory to Gandia, were mostly all he could do. This means that without him, Gandhia would not have been able to expand the national territory so rapidly, etc., and the fact of the matter is that everyone knows it well. That's why you can't let him go.

"That's why assembling tactics around Setuna is fun."

"Ho."

"The assumption is that you are free to use Setuna."

"What tactics, for example?

"Right... for example, during an expedition, it's a tactic if you have to return to your country quickly"

"That's a very limited tactic."

"A lot of tactical rigging at the staff bureau is basically limiting. Under certain circumstances, with limited force, on certain terrain - it's the job of the General Staff to figure out how we can lead our own troops to victory in those conditions."

"I see."

A great nod prompted Leongand to speak to Allegria.

"So, what is the tactic of the Allegrian idea?

"I leave the army to you, Master Setsuna."

"... I see"

The Imperial Army refers to the units in the rear row of the army, but in this case, they must be in the rear position in the retreating army, and they are doing something about the army that prevents the enemy from pursuing them. This means going back to the country while we let Setuna take on the pursuit of our enemies, and by doing so, we're treading that we can minimize our losses on retreat.

"Setsuna would do a great job for the Lord's Army."

"Besides, if you're Setuna, you'll survive."

"But then should we entrust the Palace to the Lion's Tail, not to Setuna alone?

"Now, the war power on the retired side will be greatly diminished."

"... what do you mean? If we just go back to the country, we'll lose our power."

Instead, even in the sense of increasing Setuna's survival, it would seem better to take the Lion's Tail itself as a hall army.

"If you decide to fight back, it's conditional."

"... Hmm"

Leongand looked like nothing good as he watched Allegria smile calmly. Since all the prerequisites had not been revealed, it was not natural for Leongand to think that way, but he did not speak of it. I'm talking about Allegria. I guess it has some kind of inclusions.

And then, all of a sudden, she came down on a completely different subject.

"By the way, Your Majesty"

"What?

"Have you found the enemy?

"... I can't even see the shadows."

View the next seat with a sigh.

"I also used Arya."

A woman appears suddenly in a space where no one should have been. It's Arya. A gray eye wrapped in wet dark hair was looking at this one. Allegria was not even surprised by the emergence of Arya. If he's also the chief of operations for the General Staff, he's also aware of Arya's presence. Drawing up tactics is the main task of the General Staff. If you don't grasp the power of your own country, you can't even use the brains of the military candidates because of it.

Gandhia's power is growing every day. Armed summoners have joined or signed contracts with mercenaries to continue to build up their fighting power. That was essential for the great goal of the reunification of the group of small continental States, for which there was nothing to spare. Nevertheless, little has been done, such as those that fully grasp the increasing power of battle every day. The same goes for Leongand, the king. I don't fully understand all the power of war. I leave that to the people of the General Staff. A staff bureau is one whose main task is to draw up tactics, but for this reason it is also indispensable to grasp the power of the war and to gather information, which continues to be gathered daily, both inside and outside the country.

If you ask Allegria, you'll know more or less about the Gandhian army's power. Same goes for Ein.

"Uncle Gisele Court has so far not even shown any indication that he is hostile to His Majesty. The enhancement of the private sector units we hear about will also be more natural than the increase in territory. Setsuna also has private units such as the Black Warriors and Black Beasts."

"Oh."

"Whether Uncle Gisele Court is truly betraying Gandia. What is the relationship with Benoagard? I looked into it as much as I could, but I didn't know what to do."

Arya flaunted her shoulders, perhaps because she remembered Kernall lurking. Her incapacity not only to disappear, but also to make the very existence unrecognizable, greatly exerted its power on the undercover mission. Being unrecognized means there is no risk of being discovered. Of course, there was the high level of her physical abilities, but after using those abilities to infiltrate for long periods of time, she had nothing to gain. You'll even want to shrug his shoulder.

"Before and after the crowning ceremony, I also watched Uncle Gisele Court carefully, but there was nothing strange about it. Dear Gilveer, Elius, General Deion and the like have been welcoming each other, and things have been going on like this."

"Didn't you have any contact?

"I've spoken a little too, as much as they asked me about the director."

"About Nares?

"He said he was praying that the director in therapy would get better soon. The warrior, like Uncle Setuna, must be in Gandhia's future."

Leongand, listening to Allegria, was remembering the sight of the feast of the birth of the new king. I remember seeing Gisele Court often colluding with various opponents. He is a collar uncle. In Gandhia, it is not too much to say that he is second only to the king in power. And he was a politician. Home affairs as well as diplomacy are his specialties.

Leongando was also often surprised by the breadth of Gisele Court's connections.

He was also discussing it with General Hermain-Sector of Gibelle and St. Saran-Kilclade the Bow of the Squid, and wondered where he had contacts.

In that sense, even if it was connected somewhere with Benoagard, maybe it's not strange.
