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

Episode One Thousand Three Hundreds and Thirty-two: The Dreamchaser (2)

"Stupid...... Impossible"

Leongand snapped stunned.

"It must not happen. Lucion said it was on Gisele Coat. You betrayed me? His Majesty Halberg..."

Leongando was not the only one who looked incredible. Everyone in the command room was struck down by shocking reports and was confused. Setsuna herself, was so shocked that her head turned white.

Lucion is an ally of Gandia. From the time we had the tri-national alliance together with Mion, Lucion was a special country for Gandhia and it was a long time since we relied on Lucion's military power. To strengthen her ties with Lucion, Gandhia had Princess Lion and Princess Linonclair daughtered by Halberg, who was a prince at the time. Since then, relations between the two countries have grown deeper and its ties were believed that Leongand and Hulberg could not break while they were alive.

I betrayed that trust.

The shock also swirled with anger and pity for treachery, and of the rescue army leaders gathered in the command room, Gandia's soldiers were paling their faces.

This situation seemed unexpected to the General Staff, and both Ein and Allegria had sinister faces. But it's about you two. It's not hard to imagine having that look but thinking of a way to crack it in the back of your brain. That's where we can count on the two of us, and Setsuna scolded Mizu for saying that we should have the strength of our minds like them.

Just because Lucion betrayed you doesn't mean you're in a thought stop.

"Such a thing, there can't be! It must be some mistake!

It was Linonclair who roughed up his voice. Excited, she stood up with enough momentum to kick down the chair to get herself on the desk. Long hair roughed up and disturbed her emotions.

"Your Majesty must also know. Halberg, my husband and king of Lucion, was admired for his majesty more than anyone else. The dream of walking with His Majesty and with His Majesty's help was the dream of Hulberg. Now that Hulberg is king, there is no reason for Lucion to betray Gandhia!

"Oh yeah...... sure, yeah. Linon's right. There is nothing like why Hulberg betrays me. It is against reason, such as Halberg's enmity against me and against Giselcoat. Nothing like what Lucion gets in hostility with Gandhia. What one"

To Linonclair's remarks, Leongand left his face pale, as if to tell himself. But the words were not compelling, and there was so much wickedness that I thought I might not believe them myself.

"Your Majesty, believe in Lucion. Halberg, my husband!

Linonclair's cry was like a heartfelt growl, and Setuna had the feeling of being struck in the chest by the complex emotions in her. As for Linonclair, there is no way he can believe in the betrayal of Lucion, his daughter-in-law and beloved husband, who is king. In the first place, it's hard to believe that Hulberg would do something like betray Leongand while keeping his wife, Linonclair, with the rescue troops. I know what it's like to think it's a false alarm, painfully. But how likely is a false alarm?

It's a report from Gandion. A false alarm is hard to imagine.

"Trust me... I'm here. Yes, betrayal is impossible."

Leongand nodded quietly, staring into Linonclair's eyes. I hear someone breathtaking. In that much silence, Ain opens his mouth.

"But if the report is true, the Gandhian army won't be able to deal with it alone."

"They say it's not true!

Linonclair stared, but Ain told him with a cool face.

"Whether it's a false statement or a false statement, Maldia has no better way of ascertaining the truth than to be in Santore. It's a good idea to believe in Lucion, a long-time ally, but we can't throw it away more than we have reports like that."

"Huh..."

"While waiting for information from Gandhia, the Giselcoat army will not allow Gandhia's territory to be dropped."

And, Ayn. Indeed, it seemed foolish to keep waiting for new reports here. It's good to believe Lucion can't betray you, but if the report was true, it would be irrevocable. Even today, the Gandhian side is falling.

There are several cities on the Gandia side, but Muldar and Fortress Balsar fell into the hands of the Giselcoat army in Gandion, the king's capital. And Krebourg and Kernall were originally the territory of Giselcoat. In other words, it can be said that the Gandia side is entirely under the control of Giselle Court. Of course, not unless the Lucion army has betrayed us, but if we think on the assumption that we have betrayed them, we will.

What the Giselcoat army will do next will be an expansion of the territory. On the Logner side, it must try to control the Myon side and extend its dominance even further to the Zalwarn side. On the Kruselk side, it won't matter. The Kruselk army is controlled by General Deion-Hoclaw. If that deion came into the hands of the Giselcoat army, it should have been seen that the Kruselk side was in the hands of the Giselcoat army.

Less time left.

I began to see a rush in the face-to-face look of the command room recognizing that fact.

"What are we going to do?"

"As previously resolved, we must head to the recapture of the King's capital. However, assuming that the Lucion army is joining the Giselcoat army, there is nothing more to it than that the Gandhian army alone is underpowered. Even if we gathered troops on the Zalwarn side on the road, or skipped orders to synchronize with the army on the Myon side, it's still not enough. The target is Lucion's soldier. You'll need a lot of fighting power."

"Battlepower…?"

"Sire!"

Linonclair shouts out loudly. Her expression was mixed with all sorts of emotions, which made it complicated. Believing in Hulberg, doubtful of the report, but unable to allay his anxiety, his expression full of unspeakable distress.

"We will accompany you to Gandia, too. There's no way Lucion's army could betray us, but we have to be sure of the truth with this eye."

"Oh, I know. Yeah, I guess so."

Leongand either perceived Linonclair's hard work or followed it in a gentle tone. What you can notice about the other person even in this situation is whether or not that's what you should call a king. Setsuna is such a Leongando hard-work that she doesn't have to guess.

"More than this, why don't we disband the rescue troops and get all the troops back to Gandhia?

That's what Snow Zan-Emeralia suggested.

"Lord Snow... it's... but..."

"That's a proposal. With all the current power, even if Lucion's army was turning to the enemy, we could handle it."

"I think there's more to it than a plan."

Ein and Allegria spoke strangely happy. No one else can suggest the disbandment of the Rescue Army except the Maldians who asked Gandhia to rescue them. If Snow hadn't suggested it to me, I wouldn't have been able to come up with the idea of disbanding the rescue troops.

"If the rescue troops are disbanded, the rebels will again threaten the land of Maldia"

Leongand sees Snow.

"If you do, you will believe in the day when the rescue troops will arrive again, and you will endure more."

Snow said so, smiling. The only thing I can't say enough about defeating the Maldia government forces is the fear of the rebels. The rebels themselves are not horrified. The status quo, if only the rebels, would be government forces or whatever. But behind the rebels are the Knights. Knights of the Divine Table in Benoagard. The existence of the threat of the thirteenth knight is overwhelmingly strengthening the rebels. Though the rebels were caught up and retreated to Benoagard Sigil El, if the rescue troops had disappeared over Maldia, they would undoubtedly invade again first. At that time, the knights must also be accompanied and the thirteen knights wield vicious power. Government forces alone can't beat it.

That's what Setsuna knows.

"Report!"

A soldier rushed into the command room, shouting out loud. I guess the only reason my voice is up is because it was an urgent report.

"What's next...!

Leongand roughed up his voice.

"The Knights crossed the border and formed north of Santorea! We are showing you the plot of an attack on Santorea!

An impact runs into the command room.

"What the...!?

"Stupid......"

"What do you mean!

"I see... is that what you mean"

"You can also convince me of strange movements."

In astonishment, the two chiefs of staff were extremely calm. Leongand turns his suspicious face to both of them.

"What do you mean?

"Benoagard was connected to Uncle Gisellcourt."

Ain went with a firm face.

"What was suspected from the Albert-Kerner case proved to be true. Now you can cut the front and bullet Uncle Gisele Court."

"If that's what you're saying!

"Don't be mad at me. Whether you're angry or in a hurry, things won't change."

When Ein said it out in a floating manner, he continued his words quietly.

"Perhaps the information of the fall of Wang Du and Gandia, which reached us, reached the Knights as well. Somewhat faster than we are. So I've given my strength to those of us in Santore."

"For what?

"Naturally, to stop our movement."

"That would be to cover Uncle Gisellcourt's rebellion."

After Ein's words, Allegria told him. Various tactics have probably already begun to be drawn up in the brains of the two military candidates, but tensions in the command room only increased, and the calm between the two floated badly.

"Even as we tried to silence the Knights and head for Gandhia, the Knights would come poking us in the back"

In Ayn-Rajar's ruthless proclamation, the command room was engulfed with further tension.

"Now... you're glad?

Not knowing the intent of Barberide-Warsoon's question, he succeeded in capturing his opponent in sight after wandering his gaze into the void. Barberide's horned face looks tough at all times. It's not my fault. Barberide didn't do him any good. But Barberido obeyed his orders and followed him so far. Don't complain about one thing, don't criticize, don't deny it. However, I have obeyed my promises. That's a man named Barberido. It is also why he defines Barberide as the loyal minister of Lucion I.

In the stone hall, he is. Only he and Barberide, and three of his adopted sons, Halleine-Warsoon, occupied this overly large space.

"Oh. That's it"

Halberg Ray-Lucion, finally, understood and told the words of Barberide.

"Now my dream has taken a step forward"

The great hall of the fortress of Balsar.

Once known as the fortress of difficult defeat as the northernmost guardian of Gandia territory, the fortress of Balsar fell without difficulty. No, it's not as much about falling. It was at the request of King Leongando Ray-Gandhia of Gandhia that the Lucion army entered Fortress Balsar. As it was, it belonged only to Lucion, and the inhabitants of the fortress of Balsar knew that the rulers had changed, not even knowing what had happened. Then there was a riot, but it was immediately suppressed.

Since then, Fortress Balsar has remained calm.

"His Majesty's Dream...... is it"

"Oh. It's a dream, Hallein"

Halberg saw the boy with the mask behind his face and told him. The boy's eyes shine dull behind a mask that hides only his burned and ugly eyes.

"It was a dream. This is mine."

Hulberg laughed bitterly when he realized what he was telling himself. Is it enough that I have to say it? Are you saying that by now you are cowardly and inert?

(I guess so)

Hulberg, in his chest, admitted. I don't want to admit it. Until today, palpitations have subsided and not once were enough. In response to Gisele Court's rebellion, Halberg's chest kept pounding, something that had happened since he had put the Balsar fortress and Maldar under his control.

Excitement, fearless heartbeat speed.

(What to do, brother-in-law...... no, Leongand)

The figure of the lion king with the eyes of a ship floats in the back of his brain. Perhaps it can be said that he gained majesty by losing one eye by carelessness. He was just a beautiful young man, transformed into the king he deserved to bind Gandia, Logner and Zalwarn because he became a ship's eye. Battle wounds can be foiled in some cases. Regardless, Leongand had his style as king, not because he lost one eye. The experience of repeated battles transformed him from a “lying" you to a young lion king and elevated him to a great lion king.

That's why Hulberg kept following him. Together with him. If I kept walking with him, I wondered if I could be like him again someday.

Yes, I believed it.

But.

'Your Majesty... No, Halberg!

In his ear, Jilveer's screams remain.

I went into the Lion's Palace to greet Gisele Court, and besides things, when I met with a closed Jilveer.

"Weren't your dreams with His Majesty!

Zilveer's feelings of disputing Halberg were painfully conveyed.

'Yes, you promised. Then you didn't...!

'Speaking of which... you were there too. Jillvale'

To Halberg's words, Zilveer moved. As a child, Leongand, one of Linonclair's playing friends had Gilvale. His real brother Zelbard was one of them and he played well with Halberg. At one point he was alienated from the border, but Halberg remembered it to Zilvere, who disputed himself.

'I don't want you to tell me. I could not discern the essence of His Majesty, who was playing the foolishness, and I was disappointed at my own initiative, and left His Majesty.'

Gilvere didn't say anything. There's no way I can. Because it is true that he was disgusted by Leongando's “nagging” and complained about Kernall. Although it is now time to wave a major player as one of the sides of Leongando, previously, I hated Leongando so much that it was said that he was part of the anti-Leongando faction.

'I am, no. I knew the essence of His Majesty. His Majesty was a light to me. When I was heartened, I saw the light in His Majesty. It was the sun. I was illuminated by the sun, His Majesty, and I was feeling raw. I kept wanting to be with His Majesty. The sun, His Majesty, and the moon, Linonclair, were all mine. So I shared a dream'

A dream to stand alongside Leongand and run the field.

"I am just a star, illuminated by the sun and the moon. How can a star stand alongside the sun? The sun is too dazzling and too intense. As the stars are, they burn you out just by getting close '

To stand side by side, you have to be a star with just the same amount of heat.

To the sun.

Otherwise, you don't even deserve to love the moon.

(As it is, your country will belong to that man. Then your dreams will end. End your dreams? There's no way we can end this)

Rebellion in Gisele Court.

There's no way there's any justice there. Without justice, I don't even know what that means. Besides evil if you think calmly, when you think of Gandhia, you should be excused. Most importantly, Gisele Court has not done much good in this rebellion. I don't even believe in justice. I'm just doing what I have to do.

Because this revolt for him is the one hand for Gandhia.

And this revolt for Halberg is a hand for dreams.

(Hey, Leongand)

Leongando Ray-Gandia.

It's my dream.

To stand alongside him, you have to be relative and conflicted.
