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

Episode One Thousand Two Hundred Seven Six: The Knights Meet

It was only on the sixteenth day that Tran-Cargilius arrived in Cyclahim with his disciples, Anyan-Lyon and Cuyun-Beselias.

Three days had passed since the battle over Seal Wale, and the rebel troops withdrawn from Seal Wale had arrived in Cyclahim in particular. They even gave up half their rendezvous with the trans, apparently. Tran doesn't know what you're thinking.

The Trans arrived in Cyclahim a day late, so there might have been nothing the rebels could do if they thought the Trans had been defeated, for example, they would estimate the power of the Trans too low.

The trans' arrival in Cyclahim was delayed because they had to travel on foot. When the trumpets left the battlefield, the city of Sealwale was controlled by a separate Rescue Army unit, and there was no such situation as being able to enter the city and borrow horses. Of course, although it was not impossible to take it by force, given the depletion of the two disciples, he decided that it was not necessary to fight in vain. We should have left Seal Wale a moment earlier than that.

I can't disappoint Seal Wale more than it fell into the hands of the rescue troops. No matter how “sword saint” it is, it is worn out and exhausting. And it was only natural for a human being not to be able to fight in exhausted condition, and Tran was still tired of the two disciples. It is natural for them to wear out. They are summoning not only their summoning armies, but even their summoning armies for the tran. Even though it's hard to summon and maintain just one subpoena armed, they summon two of those things and put an extra strain on them.

It's not what Tran wanted.

but from one point on it became natural.

As a result of listening to their desire to use Tran, Tran saw further heights. The world seen by the aid of subpoena armaments, the enhancement of the five senses and physical functions, was an area that would not reach the ordinary man, so much so that once he stepped foot in, the normal world would appear inferior.

If you were going for the height of your sword, you probably shouldn't have seen it. I guess I shouldn't have touched it. I guess I shouldn't have stepped in.

But you can't possibly forget what you went through once or anything.

Tran has fought more often since then using their summoning arms. No matter, according to the other party. If you were dealing with an armed summoner or Imperial Demon, you would still not have had to use a summoning weapon against a miscellaneous soldier. You can't let the disciples strain you for the miscellaneous soldiers, because there are.

So, usually, Tran doesn't use subpoenas, and that's what they say to Anyan and Kyun. Of course, that is not the case with the two who are armed summoners. Armed summoners. They need to use armed summonses from time to time in order not to decay their skills. It's not like a tran.

North of Seal Wale. On the road to Cyclahim, supplies were scattered that would have been thrown down by the withdrawing rebels. I must have been in a hurry anyway. I was afraid to chase the rescue troops. The aim of the rescue army is the extermination of the rebels. There was a good chance they'd come after us. That's also why Tran rushed away from the Seal Wale neighborhood. I couldn't even take a day off around Sealwale under the influence of the rescue troops.

I could finally rest away from Seal Wale, but there's no way I could stay long. Because we have to give priority to rendezvous with the rebels over being part of them.

Cyclahim was on strict alert with Seal Wale being recaptured, and even the trans struggled to get inside. Fortunately, although Khoon-Harba, who is entrusted with Cyclahim, gets nothing from coming out, it was something that Quyun enraged that Neo-Darkaiz's troops, who accompanied him on the Seal Wale offense, did not give him one of the help boats. Most importantly, Quyun's fury is too quiet to pass on to anyone, which makes her unnecessarily angry. The more angry she gets, the more quiet she gets, and finally, the more she has the character of silence, but she won't be able to tell if she's angry except for Tran and Anyan because she doesn't usually have a lot of mouth.

The reason for Quyun's fury is to extricate himself from the poor treatment of the tran, and I guess it is also significant that the rebels were belly-up for their continued underestimation of the “sword saint”. That, this time, seems to have been exploded by the silence of the Neo-Darkays squad. Nevertheless, she is also turning her back on her position. Just because I was furious, I didn't mean to hit someone with anger, I just kept having one anger.

Though Tran figured out a way to forgive Kuyun while expecting Anyan to forgive her, he couldn't think of anything in particular.

All he can think about is the battle. It's troublesome to think about anything else, so I always wanted to get up on the battlefield, and I was to acknowledge the existence of two disciples. Because the disciples handle the trouble. Tran wants to live only in battle. Nothing but battle, and battle is all he has in his life.

So it wasn't bad to keep fighting like that.

Lux-Vein and Esque-Soma.

Masters of swords worthy of the names "Sword Ghost” and “Sword Demon”.

The battle with the two of you, you could say, has burned for a long time. What time has it been since you were able to fight with all your spirits? At least, it's definitely the first time since we got to the group of small nations. That's about it, I was hungry for a real fight. Much of the battle in Estore was tantamount to a play of children, something that was still weird and only weird for everyone to worship as "Kensei”.

Cyclahim is a city in western Maldia.

From Mardion it is located northwest across the Seal River, with Recondor to the northeast and Seal Wale to the south. Northwest was the border with Benoagard, which meant that if the Knights were to send their forces, it would be here and the northernmost city of Santorea. In fact, the Knights' regiment flag was flying when the Trans reached Cyclahim, indicating that the Knights' reinforcements had entered Cyclahim.

Tran was called to the conference room some time after his arrival in Cyclahim. In addition to Tran and his two disciples, the commander and deputy of the Cyclahim garrison unit, and the Knights knights were all face-to-face in the conference room, and the fact that they called him to such a place would have received special treatment, which would have meant that Quyun would have had the feeling of falling back on his drinks. Quyun can't allow himself to take his tran lightly.

The commander of the Cyclahim garrison unit is a man named Kaon-Harba. In the Maldia Army, the man who was head of the Huishi Warfare regiment was one who gave the impression of a mass of muscles, a man who seemed more dependable than the Neo-Darkays who died in the war. Most importantly, it's just about appearance, and whether or not it's accompanied by truth is another story, but at least, it seems better than Neo. Maybe that's what I feel because I'm a tran who has been through various battlefields, different armies as a mercenary.

Nevertheless, no matter how dependable, in the end, only the arm of his sword can be trusted by the tran, and nothing else.

From the Knights of Benoagard, Drake Zan-Aetheria, a Knights cadre, participates in naming thirteen knights. Speaking of Benoagard, it is known as a mysterious and odd country in the small group of countries of the North. What is odd is its guidelines for action, basically without waging a war for the expansion of the national territory. Sometimes the land has spread as a result, but the likeness of a country that does not have ambition and sends its forces in response to the voice of salvation washes its blood with this blood, and in warring turmoil, where betrayal and conspiracy swirl, it is so bizarre, so colorful and so clear.

Of course, it doesn't matter to Tran. Whatever idea Benoagard has, it has nothing to do with him. Tran wants a battlefield. Blood-boiling meat-dancing battlefield. War. We don't even need a reason to fight. That would be the only reason to fight if you were ordered to be a mercenary. That was enough, and I don't need anything else. Together, even being called to an ops conference is a pain in the ass, and I don't even want to face a conference or anything like that.

I just want to focus on fighting.

However, we also know that, from a standpoint, it is not acceptable.

The rebels see “Sword Saint” Tran-Cargilius as a valuable force. At least, it has determined that it must be treated as such on the surface. Damaging the mood of a tran can also result in loss of important combat power. Then it is no surprise that we believe that it should be respected, whether ostensibly or not.

"Anything, they didn't wait for us to arrive, they started acting."

Drake Zan-Aetheria looked to the rebel executives with some extraordinary eye for it. Kaon-Harba nods with a harsher look.

"As a result, we have lost precious power. And this is because we took action without waiting for the Knights to arrive."

"Why didn't you wait?"

Drake's voice is chilling, but not the wind that he's blaming Kaon. I guess Drake knows. We know that Kaon-Harba was treated only as a rebel executive and was not able to participate in executive meetings that set the rebel's course of action.

It was the rebel executives who decided to attack Seal Wale. Executives are those who were more than troop leaders in the Holy Stone Brigade, and have not entered as one from the Luminous Stone Battle Regiment, which rendezvous in response to the rebellion of the Holy Stone Brigade. For once, Kaon-Harba, the former head of the Huishi battle regiment, is supposed to be a rebel executive, but for seemingly logical reasons of defending Cyclahim, he was unable to participate in a meeting held in Recondor.

Meanwhile, Neo-Darkays, who died in battle in Seal Wale, participated in a meeting of Recondor because he was a former head of the Saint Stone Brigade, and set guidelines for action with Gayle-Safor and others, who made him a former Saint Stone Brigade leader and commander of the rebels.

The executive meeting came to the conclusion that Seal Wale was to be attacked by a force dominated by the Trans and used as a bridgehead for the Mardion offensive. And we were to rush the formation of troops and the start of operational operations, because, if we did not hurry, the Knights reinforcements would join the rebels.

"Lord Gail was breathing that we couldn't just rely on the Knights."

"Hmm... I don't think the head of the organization that has relied on the Scattered Knights so far should... well, I don't know. It would mean that we can't rely more on external forces than to claim that this rebellion is legitimate."

"... well, it will"

"But as a result, the rebels lost precious fighting power with executives"

"Yes."

"It ended pointlessly"

Drake tells without a scratch. There is no objection to conclusions that are extremely calm and do not even see pieces of emotion. It's not what Tran thought either. All the thoughts of the rebel executives were emptied beyond being recaptured Seal Wale. Seal Wale suppression has become meaningless.

"No, on the contrary, it motivated the rescue troops and sharpened the rebel momentum"

"It seems Lord Tran's activity has allowed him to sharpen his enemy's power."

That said, Kaon-Halba glances at this one. Kaon's face was nervous and blue. I'm just overwhelmed by Drake's power. On the outside, Kaon has more succesful flesh, but Drake seemed more overwhelming. Not from standing up. Drake was resolute and could even afford it, but Kaon couldn't afford it. Even wandering.

"I don't think it's going to affect a lot of people. What do you say? Lord Tran-Cargilius."

"It won't have an impact, will it? Just shredded a unit of the Rescue Army Separate Squad. That's not even supposed to diminish the salvage force."

"The Rescue Army is a large army of over 20,000 troops. If you destroy a separate unit, it will still be the same for some of its units only. There will be no change in numbers and no change in the power difference. Rather, aren't the rebels who have lost their executives more affected?

We do not know how much the death of Neo-Darkays will affect the rebels. At least, it had no effect on Cyclahim's garrison troops, but that may be because Cyclahim's troops are being consolidated with former Huishi Battlemen under Kaon. The Huishi Warriors and the Holy Stone Brigade are in opposition. Yet Kaon took the majority of the Battlemen and threw himself into the Saint Stone Brigade rebellion. It meant I agreed with the reason for the rebellion, and I guess it was a convincing go for the members of the squadron who followed me. Caon was taken lightly in the rebels. Because the mainstream is the Holy Stone Brigade, it may have been natural in some ways for the leader of the Huishi Battle Regiment, who was on the contrary, to be treated lightly. Still, staying in the rebels without rotting, I guess, is still the reason for the rebellion. It's something that Tran doesn't really understand, and I don't even think about it.

"… but it is prudent to mention that it is no longer done. I don't even want to talk about it. Let's talk about Seal Wale, let's talk about the future."

"Future......"

"The Knights have decided this time to send five executives to the rebels. Me, starting with Drake Zan-Aetheria, Luveris Zan-Finwright, Shivula Zan-Suo-l, Hulberto Zan-Benoagard and, naturally, Carline Zan-Rhodes."

The names of the Knights executives that Drake continues to raise were interesting to Tran. Knights executives, the so-called Thirteen Knights, are known as excellent combatants. One of the most famous was Drake of “Divine Martial Arts," and Tran, watching Drake's unshakeable expression, wanted to cross swords with him someday. He also wants to fight a battle with the Knights executives. Regardless, I couldn't fight as an enemy any more than I was on my side, and I was just a little sorry about that. For that matter, I have expectations for Gandhia's hero, but I don't know if there will be a day when I can fight him, and I've had it.

Five, is it?

There must have been a feeling that Caon didn't hide all the disappointment for just five of them. Of course, executives have their men's soldiers. Each Knights cadre is accompanied by a thousand soldiers, and the participation of five cadres means they gain five thousand troops. But still, I have to say, it's not overwhelmingly enough to stand up to 20,000 great armies. Coupled with about 5,000 rebels, it's only 10,000. At 20,000 and 10,000, it can't be a battle. It may be a number that can be won depending on the tactics, but as far as the rebels' previous battles are concerned, it was not the kind of organization you could expect from the tactics.

In the first place, we were able to put the northern part of Maldia under the control of the rebels, because thanks to the Knights unit led by Knights cadre Carline Zan-Rhodes, the rebel generals and others were just a few pairs.

They are unreliable.

"Oh. Five. Five will be enough if we just destroy the rescue troops. This is close to Benoagard."

"Yes?"

"No, it's about this one. If there is a problem, the Gandhian army without the backbone of the rescue army. There's a Setuna-Kamiya in the army."

Tran, silently, agreed with his words. Setuna-Kamiya. The person known as Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard is known as Gandia's hero. The armed summoner of the Black Spear is someone who has shown a wide variety of activities and has to make Gandhian leaps. Dragon slaughter, demon slaughter, ghost descent, all demons injustice - one end of his activity is evident in those two names. Dragon killing and Massacre injustice, in particular, represent in the end that he has superhuman power. That's why Tran wants to fight him.

"Setsuna the Black Spear, right"

"Oh. That he is a man of comparable power to the thirteenth knight."

Caon was stunned by Drake's remarks. Because he has seen the battle of Carline Zan-Rhodes, and he knows the strength of the thirteen knights.

Tran, too, watches.

Carline Zan-Rhodis said she had just one person try to drop a robust Fort Hale.

That was for every rebel who was skeptical of the strength of the Knights, and Tran was surprised to hear that information. It was precisely the first battle to be called Superman that was so different from that of Tran that when this battle was over it made him think it might not be too bad to fight the Knights.

"How to seal him off. That's the key to victory..."

Drake went looking at the map spread over his desk.

"Well, how do the rescue troops get out?

With the recapture of Seal Wale, it became the three cities under rebel control: Cyclahim, Recondor and Santorea, and Fort Hale. The Rescue Army will not seek to reclaim the land of Maldia from the rebels, to the King's capital or to every city, and to defend it thoroughly. You should be on the offense. In that case, the rebels will be forced to defend themselves.

If we keep up the protection and continue to cut the strength of the rescue troops, one day we can win - maybe.

(Doesn't matter)

Tran spilled that sentiment as he looked out for Kuyun, who was on his way, surprised at how she was doing with Anyan, who had fallen asleep at some point.

As for him, I'm glad the rebels won or lost.

He stays on this battlefield only to satisfy his personal desires.

It's not what happened.

That would be fine if we could fight.

As long as you can cross swords with strong enemies, winning or losing doesn't matter.

In that sense, the battle of Seal Wale was a good one.

Two-on-one, but this is a duplicity of subpoena arms. It wasn't a bad minute. I was able to fight fully and ramble fully. Long time ago, I feel like I fought.

That was too much.

"The Seal Wale army will go north and seek to recapture Hikrahim"

"That's reasonable. And then how does the main team move that they have entered the Wang Capital? Have two troops, one go to Recondor and one go from Shieldar to Fort Hale? Or concentrate all your power on Recondor."

As Drake stares at the map, he thinks.

"Either way, we have to hit Cyclahim's defense."

"Exactly. First, we have to defend Cyclahim and figure out a way to overthrow the rescue troops."

He nodded small as Drake glanced at Tran. There was no room for disagreement. Anyway, the meeting itself is a hassle. I wanted to get it over with and give you two a break, Anyan and Kyun. You two are tired.

"To that end, can you tell us more about the battle in Seal Wale?

Though Drake's word was as good as expected, Tran had to be disappointed.
