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

The wind stroked my cheek.

Autumn winds carry cold air, winding vortexes and climbing to heaven. I guess it's getting chilly because autumn is finally deepening, and it's also a foretaste of winter coming soon.

Algazard Barol-Bargazar thought of that as he walked down the streets of the Royal Palace section.

October is almost over.

At the end of October, five hundred and two years will be left in February.

This year, it was quieter than last year.

Algazard, turning to the two following him, snapped. Jill-Balam and Ganan-Dex are in position to be called vice-generals, who should also be assistants to the Grand General.

Algazard is the Grand General. It was a position to be placed at the top of the Gandhian army, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was reigning at the top of the Gandhian army.

Until a year and a little while ago, it would be Leongand's intention that he should have been promoted to Grand General, who was only one of the generals. I must be just saying that the easiest general to steer for Leongand was Algazard. Regardless, they say that the final judgment is so, taking into account abilities, personalities, achievements, etc., and they don't even think that it was all decided by Leongando's existence. Besides, even if that's what Leongand thought it was, it doesn't hurt my mood. Instead, I even think I'm happy.

Isn't that the proof left that Leongand is so forgiving to Algazard?

"It was like there wasn't an outbreak."

"About Abard."

Abard didn't send out all the troops either, he stays just part of the Zalwarn and Logner armies. Regardless of Abard's army, the battle against the Knights seems to have been extremely harsh and caused considerable damage, but it would be insignificant compared to the damage done in the Kruselk war. I know that if you put the Kruselk War to work, everything feels slight is a sign that your senses are paralyzed and not good.

"Oh, speaking of which, the Kruselk War was also this year,"

"Speaking of which, yes."

Ganan-Dex nods as he recalls. Maybe he forgot, too. Needless to say, the general in charge of all the armies, the vice-generals who are the hands and feet of the general, are also having a busy day. That's why I was so busy that I could say that I didn't have time off, and I still worked my vacation back. Still, I can't help but think it's a lot compared to last year, and, in fact, you're right.

I remember being busy from the middle of last year to the end of the year or something awesome. War after war. In Gandia's history, the battle went on so long as to say that we had never fought a war in such a short period of time. It did so also because of the continuing situation in which it had to, and it did not happen with the intent of Leongand alone.

But if you think about it now. I can't help but admire that it's something that's been going on a lot. The constant victory must have led to maintaining the will of all armies. He has continued to triumph without a defeating-like defeat. That scratched out the repeated voices of dissatisfaction with the war, leading to excitement and Dawn. That situation lasted until the Kruselk war, but when the Kruselk war ended, such excitement disappeared, as I had woken from my dreams.

Because in the Kruselk war too many generals lost their lives.

It is due to the fact that the army of Kruselk was tens of thousands of Imperial Demons, but the fact that the relatives of the war dead, whoever their opponents are, is no different to the fact that their husbands and sons died in battle. It is only natural, in a way, that those who complain about how tragic the war is and what is vain appeared, and that the feeling of abhorrence covered all of Gandia.

The moon flowed without being able to wipe out such air altogether. The feeling of antiwar that had covered all of Gandhia was finally showing calm.

"The Kruselk war, the Abad unrest, the dispatch of reinforcements to Lucion - when it comes to major events related to the Gandhian army this year, that's about it"

"That'll be enough."

Algazard looked up into the sky. The seeping blue sky covers far overhead. The same sky as always. It's the sky of Ils-Valle.

"That would be enough"

Again, crush.

The body beyond the age of sixty is no longer reaching its limits.

The flesh, forged and created over decades, still works as he thinks, and the motion is light in itself. There's nothing out to the right if you take a weapon, and youthfulness is the only thing I don't feel like losing to the guys in the handle, and the fact is, I never lose, but that's why I couldn't say enough that it's something I can fight forever. I don't even believe it. Every day, I experience a slower recovery of fatigue.

Old.

"The next war may be my last battle as a great general."

"My lord, suddenly you say something!

"Yes! We still need His Excellency!

"... even so"

Algazard didn't even change one look on Jill-Balam and Ganan-Dex's face in a hurry. I'm glad you said that, and I'm not in a bad mood to be relied upon. It is also true that those moods and emotions underpinned the continuation of the General.

"Gandia has numerous talent. I'll take my place."

Rather, it has to be. Otherwise, I'll have to keep whipping my old body forever. Not yet, okay. But sooner or later, that kind of impossibility must sneak in and interfere with the activity. After that, it's a good idea to get off the Grand General's throne and leave it to the young and talented.

"There is nowhere to be found, such as on His Excellency's behalf!

Jill-Balam has been in a strong tone. It was a temperamental girlfriend reaction. Because of its length, it creates an air that is difficult to get close to, but in fact, it didn't happen. She was so sweet to the person who had forgiven her, and Algazard cherished her like her own daughter. Just like you think of Ganan as your son.

Of course, I care about my real sons, Laxus and Ruufa, and I care about them. However, since the two sons were not in a position to be directly involved with the Gandhian army, they had little chance of dealing with Algazard. Maybe it's distracting that little bit of loneliness.

"First, there's you guys"

"What..."

"Jill-Balam, Ganan-Dex, you have been my aides for the past year or so. You've seen me. Admiral Algazard Barol-Bargazar. Nothing understands the work of the Admiral as much as you do."

One thing is missing in capability, but it is the strength of the two deputy generals to have extra experience to make up for their abilities. I've been watching the Admiral's work. That is an irreplaceable experience, which will serve as a bottom-up for strength.

"That's why we can't do it."

"That's right. The Admiral can't think of anything other than His Excellency."

Jill-Balamtganan-Dex's remarks were, on the other hand, bitter. Looking back, two strong gazes pierced me.

"... have a wider perspective."

That's the only way.

"Don't fix your thoughts and narrow your horizons. Drop the idea that the General must be me. Even if the ensuing war was not my last as a grand general, it will eventually come at the end. The only difference is whether it's late or early."

"But... it's still too soon"

"Sure, it might be quick"

Algazard grinned in a sense of self-derision. Worship the position of general, more than a year. In retrospect, I wonder what one thing you might not be proud of as a general, worthy of the name of a general. Although he stood on the battlefield as a grand general in the wars of Zalwarn and Kruselk, he has not been remarkably active, etc. It is only natural when it comes to taking command of all the armies in the rear, because it is the job of the Grand General, but naturally, it is also a little vain.

I miss it when I was running through the battlefield.

As a general, what can't I leave behind?

Think about it, that's just to conclude that it's probably the selection of a successor.

"But it was a matter of discussing and deciding with His Majesty."

That's why the Algazards came out of the royal palace. Algazard visited the Royal Palace to discuss it with Leongand and spoke carefully for several hours. Just the two of us. The only reason I couldn't turn in the others was because of the consideration that Leongand wouldn't be able to tell the truth if I didn't, and Algazard himself, that would have been more convenient to tell the truth.

The lieutenants were to wait a long time.

"With Your Majesty...? Your Majesty, couldn't you hold back?

"You stopped me. Take my hand."

"If so!

"Still, you accepted that my determination was unshakeable"

That being said, it seemed that Jill-Balam also had to be silenced. I guess I realized there was nothing I could do where the two deputy generals disagreed more than Leongando admitted and acknowledged. Algazard saw the look on Jill-Balam and Ganan-dex's face like that and felt calm. I think it's a blessing for a good man. Algazard must have been sent a general because he had deputy generals like them. Had it not been for them, I would have stopped at once.

Even that, I think.

"What, we don't know when the next war will be. I'll let you stay with me for a while."

Algazard put his hands on both shoulders that way.

"Till the end, please"

'... Ha!

The look on the faces of the two men, who had gone to a different tone, always seemed powerful.
