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

Sigil El is a city southeast of Benoagard.

Located directly west of Mardia Santorea, at a straight distance, it was about a day's proximity on horses, but the actual distance took two to three days. Because between Sigil El and Santrea lies the Nair Mountains, and you have to make a big detour north to get to and from the two cities. As long as you can cross a steep mountain, you can also connect Santorea to Sigil El in a straight line, but few choose more complex mountain paths than flat streets. In the first place, just because you took the mountain path and reached it in a straight line doesn't make a big difference in the time to reach Sigil El. Rather, it could even take a lot of work and time to do something extra. It is much safer and plain to go straight north from Santore, west and down south.

The rebels would also have taken the streets and reached Sigil El. There's no way the conductor is unscrupulous.

The rebels headed to Sigil El in the form of a guide to Carline Zan-Rhodis, Maldia's rep. Probably being treated more politely by the car line.

Even if the rebel insurgency had no cause, we would have to be more cautious about the treatment of the rebels than they were asked to save and voted to respond. Even if the thirteen knights, including Carline, were not willing to ride the battle of Maldia, it is true that they fought for their lives. Though rebel leader Gail-Safor stuffed the Knights' inertia on the grounds of repeated defeats and did not attempt to appreciate them.

Drake Zan-Aetheria quietly opened his lid in the dim darkness of the tent. Inside the tent, four thirteen knights, who did not turn to Sigil Elle, try to face each other. Shivula Zan-Suor floats to the top of the Buddha as usual, Hulberto Zan-Benoagard spreads his affection, and Luveris Zan-Finwright looks bored and looks out of the tent.

The Drakes initially planned to enter a defensive base near the Maldia border, but it was impossible to allow nearly two thousand troops to stay in a base with fewer than a thousand people, such as a maximum capacity, and had no choice but to set up a camp near the base. I didn't even listen to the voice that even the thirteenth knight alone should be in the stronghold.

March 28th.

Three days have passed since the Santorea offensive, and the trend of rescue troops recapturing Santorea is being passed on to the Drakes as well. Santore said he was enveloped with joy by his liberation from the rebels, something that made him aware of the low popularity and support of the rebels.

The Carline's report at the Divine Table Conference that Maldia was at peace itself - which meant that Maldia's political situation was stable and the people were satisfied to a high standard - was impossible, for example, for rebels who destroyed such a happy routine to gain popularity.

"I wonder what the Rescue Army is going to do?

He opened his mouth so that Hulberto could not stand the silence.

"I'm staying in Santore and asking how we're doing. You must be worried about what to do with the rebels who fled into my Benoagard territory."

"As a relief force, you want to eradicate the rebels."

"As long as the rebel leader Gail-Safor survives, the rescue forces will also understand that the Knights will not stop helping the rebels. If so, even though we liberated all of Maldia, we can't disband the rescue troops"

"So would the rescue troops try to invade the territory of Benoagard?

"I don't know. I think I'm coming."

"Come."

"Oh. The Rescue Army is a multinational army formed around Gandia. I don't think we're allowed to work long enough to wait for the rebels to rebel."

The time it will take for the rebels who have fled into Benoagard territory to regroup and relaunch is no longer six months or so. It's Benoagard territory. It is irrelevant to the Benoagard people, such as the situation in Maldia, nor can the Benoagard people appear so easily in tune with the rebel idea of overthrowing the Maldia royal family. It would take a lot of time just to get the force in place. I don't even think it's a matter of a year or two. Of course, depending on what the rebel leader Gail-Safor thinks, it's possible to attack Maldia again before the force runs out, but it's not within six months of doing so.

Gail-Safor and others have to dive into Sigil Elle for a while and look at the opportunity to fight back.

"Even if we attack Benoagard, if we destroy the rebels, or if we kill the rebel leaders and deprive the rebels of their driving force, the rest could be to set up a negotiating seat with the Benoagard government and end hostilities with Benoagard politically"

"Well, that must be quick."

"Because in a day or two, you're going to set up an army, and you're going to attack me?

"Maybe. But looking at the situation in Santorea, apparently that's not all."

Drake looked around at Luveris, Halbert's face before turning his gaze back to the table set in the center of the tent. Reports of scouts are arranged on the table. According to that, Santorea's rescue troops are not in the kind of situation that they would immediately deploy. Of course, if we take into account the post-war handling of the Santorea offense, it is only natural that we cannot move quickly. But there is no momentum in the rescue forces in Santorea.

It's as if the calm that there won't be a fight for a while surrounds a long city to the north and south of Santore.

Shivula opens her mouth quietly.

"They may demand Gail-Safor's surrender."

"Such a request, we think the Knights will accept," he said?

"Acceptance is acceptable, but it will be before construction."

"I see."

Pre-Construction.

As a pretext for the rescue troops to attack Benoagard territory, the possibility of demanding the identity of rebel leader Gail-Safor from the Benoagard government - that is, the Knights - was ample. As a Benoagard government, it is an absolutely unacceptable demand. The Knights decided to help. Though we decided to use it for another purpose, we should take care of it until the end, more than once we decided to save it.

"If the Knights resolutely refuse, they'll use that as an excuse to attack you. And destroy the rebels and reconcile them with the Knights. Well, if that's what you're going to do, is there a problem for us..."

"Right. I apologize to the rebels."

Hulberto, with his eyebrows in eight letters, gave him a truly sorry look. He's a good young man. That was the bearer of a character unsuitable for the harsh position of the thirteenth knight, and I wondered if that was why he had been chosen. Some of the thirteenth knights are as liked as he is.

"The hand of salvation should be reached to 10,000 people as slippery as possible - but it would be a worthy end for the unrighteous"

"Can we buy time for the rest?"

"Whether the purpose can be fulfilled"

"What, you don't have to panic"

Drake ran out of serenity in response to what Luveris and Shivula said.

"If the Rescue Army is going to ask the Knights to hand over their figure, what's going on? It'll take time."

I needed time just to be a messenger for demands and write letters back and forth between Santorea and Benoa. Benoa is situated in the central north of the territory of Benoagard, and he must fly his horse from Sigil El for four days, and from Santorea for two or three additional days to it. Even if you flew a fast horse, it can't be less than half the number of days you need. A round trip alone would take ten days. We also need time for the Knights to scrutinize the content of the request and decide how to respond. In view of them, it will take at least one month for the negotiations to break down.

There's going to be a month, too much,

"There's a month, and that one's just taking action, right?

"... would have already woken up"

Shivula made a chilling affirmation.

"It's just something that takes time to communicate information. Do as Lord Aetheria says."

"I mean, it could already be over," he said.

"There will be. There's a chance it's a failure."

"If we fail, what will we do?

"That's when it is. We will cooperate with the rebels, fight the rescue forces and identify Setuna"

Drake looked out for and told the side of Luveris.

That is the biggest reason why we were to put as many as five thirteen knights into the rebel battle. It was the life of Fairling Zan-Chrews, and the Knights who survived the winter cage, moved the Knights as the Divine Table wished, for which reason Drake was to join his colleagues in the battle over Maldia. Because if Maldia had asked Gandhia for help, we knew there would be a great opportunity.

There's no way Gandhia won't put in a black spear setuna.

"If necessary, call Setuna to a meeting and turn to the Divine Table for judgment"

Setuna-Kamiya.

Whether the black spear user-friendly youth deserves a savior.

It was the ultimate reason why the Drakes did not prioritize victory for the rebels, and for that reason, they also used another circumstance.

"All for great salvation"

When Drake told, Shivula, Luveris and Halbert quietly took the lead.

We need strength to save the world.

Without power, we cannot save the world, such as fulfilling the Knights' purpose.

Use everything for that.

Make the necessary sacrifices as well.

Both the death of the Knights and the defeat of the rebels are sacrifices and costs.

I'm not acting with the sweet idea that I can save everything without any sacrifice.

The Knights, rather ruthlessly, look directly at reality. Coldly, we are aware of our lack of strength.

That's why we have to reach out for salvation.

We must reach out for salvation and show the strength of the Knights.

Because that leads to great salvation.
