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

"Looking back, you had a lot going on."

Setsuna's discussion with Ein was about the afternoon, December 27th, when the year also pressed.

In addition to Setsuna and Ayn, there were Ragna and Uruk in Setsuna's private room in the Temple of Heavenly Wheel Palace Tae. The reason Lem isn't here is because she is attached to Sheila's fierce special training, and Lem was passionate about repeated training, as he did every day. It's not like it started now that Rem is good to hang out, but why he's so keen to hang out with Sheila's training, because it's also important to strengthen the Setuna army that Sheila is stronger.

And the reinforcement of the Setuna army was what Setuna needed to contribute further to Gandhia. The increase in the Black Beast Squad was one of them, as was the retrieval of new equipment from the King's Capital for the Black Beast Squad, the Sydney Battle Squad. It was very recently that the name Setuna Army became used, but it was no longer as uncomfortable as the legions that existed for a long time. That said, the Black Beast Squad, the Battle Squad combined, fifty men. There, where Rem and Ragna and Setuna joined, it's not so much a grand army. But it was Ayn's assessment that being an unbeatable force to the Great Army was something that Ayn almost admitted, and that no more strength enhancement was needed. It means it's more efficient to turn your power to other regiments, troops, than to concentrate on enough Setuna troops.

Ain't got to think about the whole Gandhian army, not just about the Setuna army, and look at things from a wider perspective.

The question of whether he can remain in the Dragon House is such that the trend in the north is easily disturbed from the Dragon House, and also because the Wang Capital has another candidate for the successor to the Army, Allegria-Scene. There is a perception in Ayn that things around Gandia from the Wang capital are safe if left to Allegria. A little over a year, but they are both Kaoru tacticians of Nares-Ragnahorn and the next generation of military candidates. Nares admits he trusts each other and has just the ability to match it. Of course, I don't think Setuna would have to question Ein's prowess either, and I put my faith in Allegria, which he trusts.

"It's been a year."

He went in a calm tone as Ein grabbed the bowl where he poured his own tea. That he cleaned up his work this morning. He was visiting Setuna's private room to kill too much time. Setsuna didn't call him, but Setsuna had some spare time, too, and she decided to talk to him. Ragna was napping over Setuna's head, and Urk would never come into the conversation. Urk is almost always near Setuna and listens to Setuna's conversation, but according to Midgard's story, it basically doesn't mean she talks to Midgard about what she's talking about with Setuna.

'Urk somehow recognises Setuna Bosama as the Lord, so I guess he won't do anything to the detriment of the Lord. Even if I command you, the developer, I will not listen.'

Though I don't know how far to believe because I meant Midgard, Setsuna thought that Urk would have no problem being present on this occasion. There's no way we're gonna talk about anything that hits state secrets in conversation with Ein.

"A year..."

Reverse, look back.

The dawn of five hundred and two years of continental history was the quest for Mion. To conquer Isius Ray-Mion, king of Mion, who spared the neck of Chancellor Mars-Barr, Gandia formed and directed an expedition. The Expeditionary Army also included the armies of Berel and the armies of Lucion, but the main force was The Lion's Tail. The battle was almost one-sided, but it also had a lot to do with Mion's generals turning back to Gandia as far as Isius was concerned. It is the Gandian army that has been the hardest hit in the quest for Mion, which has been heavily damaged by the special attack of Mion's assault general Gilbert-Hardy's death. But Mion perished without the art of exchange before the quantity of the conquerors, and the land of Mion was to be divided and ruled by Gandia and Lucion.

"Why was the toughest thing about Kruselk?" After the expedition, the Kruselk war is starting right away. Again, it's a long story to tell. The beginning of the Kruselk war would have been that in the wedding of Leongand and Nage, the gift delivered by Kruselk was the Imperial Demon and a declaration of war from Kruselk. From the former, Ellen, the demon king of Kruselk, was a man whose peculiar abilities were expressed by the foreign law institutions that once existed in Gandhia, and he hated Gandhia so much that he could have said that he had formed a demon king army to destroy the Gandhian royal family. Even without a declaration of war at the wedding, he would have challenged Gandia to fight sooner or later.

"Yes. There's Master Setuna, there's a coalition, there's reinforcements from Lyohan, it's like we finally won. If any of them were missing, Gandhia would have perished."

From the look on Ein's face, his statement seemed genuine. It is a natural conclusion given the difference in power between the Demon King's Army led by Yubel and Gandia, and there is no room for disagreement. The Allied armies, the numerous armed summoners, and Lyohan's goddess of war and the four great heavenly samurai made it possible to defeat the Demon King's army. As he said, if any of them were missing, the Setunas would not have had such a boring end of the year.

"It's a big deal because the Demon King gave me the spear."

"Well... what would have happened if Demon King Yubel hadn't listened to His Majesty's words"

The Demon King was about to assemble an Imperial Demon of up to 200,000 in Kruselk. And those Imperial Demons talk about killing the Demon King and not stopping, and at that time, if they had to kill the Demon King, the Setunas might have got to fight 200,000 Imperial Demons. Two hundred thousand. It is clear that the Allied forces would not have been able to defeat them with all their power, and because the Demon King listened to Leongand and left the army, the Allied forces were able to win the Kruselk war.

Glad to call it a triumph of thin ice.

"Really."

Sigh. When I think back now, I can see how I've crossed a dangerous bridge.

"Nevertheless, that's it"

"Yes?"

"The Demon King hasn't been on the stage since then."

"Yes, some of them have seen Lewdies leave the battlefield, but that's the last sighting, and since then, not even the Shadow of the Demon King has been witnessed."

A vicious and extreme figure named Yubel the Demon King disappeared from the battlefield of Kruselk along with numerous Imperial Demons. It remains unclear what happened to the Imperial Demon who belonged to the Demon King's Army after that. At least, it is also clear that the Demon King's rule was not lifted on the spot because after the Demon King's departure, the Imperial Demons stopped attacking the Allied forces and left the battlefield. But I didn't know anything about what happened after that. The location and whereabouts of the Demon King are unknown, and we can only imagine where and what he is doing now.

Some of the Imperial Demons have guessed that they have returned naturally, but perhaps that is correct. The organized movement of the Imperial Demon that Setuna encountered when infiltrating Abad showed the possibility that he was an Imperial Demon who belonged to the Demon King's Army. The Imperial Demon of the Demon King's Army was trained by the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon King's Army, Olias-Leviath, who was never less organized than the human army. But at the same time, it will create weaknesses that were not in the Imperial Demon, and it is a famous fact that it became an entrance gap for the Allied forces.

If you crush your head, the victory will be confirmed, he said, a tactic that worked well because the army of thoroughly militarized Imperial Demons was the opponent, and not for wild Imperial Demons. The Imperial Demon acts as a herd, but without the head of that herd, it is usually done that another Imperial Demon becomes the head, so unless you recognize the absolute difference in power, it is hard to think about retreating. The difference in power between the Imperial Devil and man is immense. Usually near impossible, such as showing off the absolute difference in power.

"Wherever I go, whatever I do, I don't care if I don't turn to Gandhia's enemies again."

"Well... if I may, I want you to take control of all the Imperial Demons so they don't attack humans"

"I guess that's not how it works."

The Demon King's ability to rule the Imperial Demon is said to be an alien created by foreign law. It has the same origins as Aryan's unrecognizability, Iris' super powers, Ur's spiritual domination, etc. I don't know if there's a limit to the super suspicious power of Illis, but it seems to be in Arya and Ur. Most importantly, Setsuna did not know what limitations were placed on Aryan and Ur's incompetence because they had not been given details. The only thing that can be said is that there must also be some limitation on the Demon King's ability to rule the Demon.

At the end of the Kruselk war, there was the birth of Queen Nage and the match in front of her to celebrate it, and various things happened, including her reunion with Sheila in the Dragon Palace, which became Setsuna's new territory, her encounter with Ragna, and the battle. That's the last year I haven't finished.

In addition, there were the Abad unrest, the Lucion rescue, the reign of the new king of Lucion, contacts with Niewe, and encounters with Midgard and Urk.

So, the Setunas were formed.

"Are you still mad?

I'm not mad at you anymore.

"Oh, my God, good"

"Gandia's, it'll do you good, won't it?

"Yes."

Ain nods as he grins.

Setuna reached over her head and grabbed Ragna, leaving him alone, who reacted slightly, to move her from top of her head to top of her leg. Then, I deviate from my back so that I can think through the back of the chair. I moved Ragna because he could have fallen from above his head asleep. It turns out from what I've said and done here these days that it's the best way to replenish magic, but it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be on your head. It seems to be able to absorb it to some extent as long as it is in contact with Setuna. Still, we also know that Ragna is restrained at the top of Setuna's head because it's cozy. However, Ragna's body had grown one turn larger than before, and when she was on top of her head, the strain on her neck had increased, making it more difficult to put her on all day, as before.

Therefore, from time to time, it is necessary to remove it from the head and untie the muscles of the neck.

"Does it really work?"

"I do. It looks like it's already starting to work. Excellent."

Is that true?

Setuna turned her suspicions to Ein. I don't really doubt him, but I don't think he's slapping lightly to avoid damaging Setsuna's mood. Ain't got nothing like that.

Most importantly, Ain't been saying anything like caring about Setuna.

"Mr. Allegria is screaming."

"Screaming? Mr. Allegria did?

"Yes, some neutral aristocrats who heard about the Setuna formation seem to have killed Mr. Allegria."

"Why did you tell Mr. Allegria?

"Well, it must be because one belonging to the Setuna sect was only in the king's capital about Mr. Allegria. There seems to be a lot of noblemen out there trying to change their saddles to the Setunas through Mr. Allegria."

"I see..."

Allegria did not participate in the formation ceremony of the Setuna sect in Bandor, King Abad capital. Naturally, she stayed in Gandion.

"Mr. Allegria doesn't like the aristocrats. It seemed hard to deal with the aristocrats."

"Well, I don't know..."

"When you return to the king's capital, please spare Mr. Allegria his labor."

"Oh, oh..."

"You two can eat or something like that. I'm sure you'll be thrilled."

It was just a little odd that Ein was going to come as if he were who he was, but if you think about it, maybe he can tell that his thoughts and reactions are in his hands, being the same Setuna followers.

"Oh. Really?

"Yes, because Mr. Allegria is also a believer in Setuna enough not to take a pull from me."

"... I wonder why."

"The reason is simple. Because Mr. Allegria is a Gandian, and Master Setuna is a Gandian hero."

"Sure, it's an easy reason"

"Not on top of this. But at the same time, it would be an easy reason to be convinced, wouldn't it?

"Sort of. That's why I can understand you better than to be my follower."

As Setuna pointed out, Ain smiled. The grin with madness seemed to indicate that he was a kind of madman. He was insane. At least, it's not sanity shabby, such as being enthusiastic about Setuna killing his colleagues. It would be the status quo in which the end of that madness should also be called Setuna worship until his fervent. Nevertheless, he has not lost sight of reality, and his perception of reality is appallingly calm and sometimes ruthless. So Setuna trusts him, too, and she trusts him.

"Heh heh. Crazy people like me, they're not there, so heh."

"It's true."

Setuna affirmed what he said as she felt something horrible about Ein's smile. In fact, I'm glad to say there's no other madman like Ein. It is not the kind of person who is an enemy but enthusiastic about the battle of Setuna and becomes a believer. It's normal to be distanced even after you're on your side, and it's normal to find it hard to get close to Setsuna.

"Anyway, it's true that the formation of the Setunas upset the neutral nobility and moved Gandia's politics. And it will undoubtedly be for His Majesty's world"

"... I don't know why a neutral nobleman wants to join the Setuna?

"I simply lost track of the opportunity."

"Machine..."

"What will be neutral was born after the confrontation between the Leongans, culminating in His Majesty, and the Linonclair, who list anti-Leongans - the latter queen, surfaced. The Neutralists gained a certain say by not belonging to the Leongans or the Anti-Leongans, but since the demise of the Rhine One Party, when the Anti-Leongans lost momentum and the Leongans gained power, the Neutralists persisted in maintaining their position, didn't they? As a result, I couldn't even get into the Leongans, which is unlikely to be anti-Leongans, so I couldn't help but put up a neutral sign."

"So... how did you end up with the Setuna?

"It's a simple story. It is clear from anyone's eyes that the Setunas are a Leonganese division. Neither are we going to hide that fact. In the first place, there is no turning to His Majesty's enemies from Master Setuna. It's a fact that everyone knows very well."

"Sort of."

"That's why the neutrals saddled up with the Setunas."

"Are you saying that joining the Setuna will make you the same person who belonged to the Leongands? If it was, I wouldn't have been saddled with the Leongands from the start."

"That's the crap about politics."

Ein laughed bitterly.

"For all the nobles who were mindful of the neutrals, I can't allow my self-esteem to be saddled with the Leongans. However, I recognize that it is imperative that we remain neutral and be left in the course of the times, and I also understand with my skin that the world of Leongans is coming. I should have wanted to join the Leongands at any rate or come close."

"So... you're a Setuna"

"Yes, the Setuna are undisputed Leongans, but still, it would be better to join a new, smaller faction than to replace them directly with the Leongans, who will retain their self-esteem. I didn't think it would work this far, either."

"Was that the prospect of Setuna formation"

When Setuna told him with a sigh, Ain made it right. And he stares at me with his eyes narrowed.

"No way."

"Hmm?"

"That's not all."

"What else is there?

Setuna can't read Ein's thoughts.

"The formation of the Setuna sect, the saddle replacement for the Setuna sect of the neutral nobility, is meant to make the Leongans a stronger faction. Then the anti-Leongans will also be unable to remain silent. I have to move."

"Right. Are you saying that if the anti-Leongans move, they may also reveal enemies who may be lurking inside"

Since his suspicion of Gisele Court, Leongando had focused on color-coding his own allies with enemies who might be inside Gandhia.

Enemy or ally, ally or foe.

Since the fall of Reins-Anslius and other anti-Leonganese leaders, on the surface, there seemed to be no more enemies inside Gandia. But not all humans who had put up anti-Leongands quickly changed their minds with the devastation of the Rhine faction. Anti-Leongans existed as always, and Leongans, they did not fail to monitor anti-Leongans. It was also worth it, and although it was only anti-Leonganese activities that caused no direct damage to Gandhia, it remains unclear what they would do if they dived into the dark. It seems that they anti-Leongans have not yet given up on Leongands' leg loss. Not to mention the inability to lower Leongand's reputation, and within the royal palace compartment, where security has become much stricter than before, there can be no such thing as a twofold attempt on the assassination of Setuna, and I could not imagine what they were thinking and planning.

Most importantly, the devastation of the Rhine party has definitely led to an extreme reduction in the number of anti-Leongans. Some of the anti-Leongans have joined the neutrals and even acted as if they had forgotten that they were flying anti-Leongans flags. Even if those people who moved to neutralism have been saddled with Setuna, it's not surprising that it's the creeps in politics. It's just a convenience to maintain a position, such as a doctrinal assertion.

In other words, the anti-Leongans are a smashing minority in Gandhia, and the power to just cut head-on against the largest faction, the Leongans, is long gone. Still, we had to be vigilant, because it wasn't always that they wouldn't be out exercising their strengths when they were cornered, and we saw the possibility that they were connected to Gisele Court.

Starting with Leongando, it was from one case in Albeyl-Kerner (Terius Zan-Kayloon) that upper Gandia began to see Giselcoat under suspicion, and even for no other reason, but only one of them was sufficient reason to suspect it. But since then, he hasn't done anything to damage Gandhia. On the contrary, he subordinated Azark and Laksha, and his contribution to Gandhia was tremendous. Ein only laughed, though, at Setuna's words that it might be impossible to doubt Gisele Court.

He still suspects Giselle Court.

"And it will be revealed that it is close"

"Close?"

"At the dawn of the year, there will be a great conference in the King's Capital"

"The Great Conference? I'm not listening."

When Setuna rounds her eyes, Ain comes naturally.

I didn't say that.

"Hey."

"You heard about the messenger from Maldia, didn't you?

"Oh. The princess of Maldia. She said she came out from all over?

It was only the other day that the story of Yuno Lewe-Maldia, Princess of Maldia, taking a minister to visit Gandion, the king's capital, and holding a meeting with Leongando had been passed on to Setuna in the Dragon House.

"Yeah. That messenger from Maldia came to Gandia to request rescue, but the Great Conference is about its treatment. Gandhia's policies can be determined in that seat, where the upper ranks of the Gandhian army, including the Grand General, are in full swing."

"That's where the enemy and allies are revealed?

"Well, even if that seat doesn't reveal itself, you'll be exposed under daylight."

"You're so confident."

'Cause it's a staff bureau for that.'

For Ayn-Rajar's mighty until smile, Setuna breathed.
