Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World
Episode One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Eight: Taural's Successor (II)
Zayed-Hayne is Abard's warlord.
He was one of Abard's two proud generals and was given the position of General Double Tooth.
It is new to my memory that I was once told of Abad's bi-perfection along with General Galan-Sidor of the Double Horn, and that I had gained absolute trust from the Abad people, General Abad Army. No, in the first place, there was no such thing as loss of trust. Even after the civil unrest by the Sheila faction and Galan-Sidor's clarification of his position as the head of the Sheila faction, trust in him should never have been undermined.
Sheila's popularity was overwhelming. Many of the people were Sheila and thus the popularity of General Double Horned, the head of the Sheila faction, also became awesome, but that is why Zayed was never scorned. Zayed, without conferring on either faction, merely because he was in Abad as a double-toothed general.
Even after the civil unrest came to an end as a result of Endwidge's battle, his position remained unchanged.
As Abard's double-toothed general, he continued to be there.
Many subordinates, including one of the Royal Abad, had placed their trust in Zayed-Hayne, who continued to exist as immovable beings.
Maybe that's why Zayd was able to keep standing as a double-toothed general.
But an incident erupts that rocks his scaffolding like that.
It is the Abad unrest.
The big incident that shook the country itself, Abad, was enough to even jeopardize Zayed-Hayne's position, and Zayed had to reconsider his existential value.
There is no difference in the position of General Double Tooth.
But Abard's subordination to Gandia plunged General Double Tooth's value.
Abard had to be good about Gandhia.
Firstly, the Abad royal family itself has suffered enormous damage as a result of the unrest. The king, the queen and his wife have lost their lives, and the king's brother is dead. Sheila, who triggered the unrest, declared that she would leave the Abad royal family, thereby making young Sail Reus-Abbard the representative of the royal family. Impossible, such as a prince under ten standing at the top of the country. I have a guardian. The minister or general was supposed to serve as guardian, a man from the General Staff, seconded by the ruling country Gandia, and General Gandia's right-eye succeeded him.
It was the moment when General Double Tooth's position became light.
Zayed took pride in his position, and his pride, pride and self-esteem were the ones that made him loyal to the Aberd royal family.
That position swayed.
Aberd came to fruition with Gandhia's country.
Was there no other way? Wasn't there something else you could have done? Various thoughts staggered and swelled up in Zayed.
That's right, there was contact from Giselcoat Lars-Kernall Krebourg. Contact from him, Gandhia's greatest power, was what prompted his determination to be in Zayed.
This meant that it was independence from Abad and that Zayed-Hayne Mizu would be the lord of a small country.
position shapes a human being named Zayed-Hayne.
If the general is who he is now, how will he be transformed if he is the king?
His imagination kept swirling and he couldn't wait for Gisele Court to start a rebellion.
And I finally got word from him.
After Gandhia sent troops to rescue Maldia, he said he would take control of Gandhion, the king's capital.
He's ready for battle.
As planned in advance, I was going to grasp the Taural fortress and get Sentier, Lanseed and Gordvan from there. If we could have a fortress and a total of four cities in our hands, it would be enough for a small country. Gandhia was also a country to that extent at first. And the country of Zayed, to that extent, is sufficient. As far as force is concerned, there is nothing wrong with Giselcoat if he masters Gandia. If a big country called Gandhia becomes Giselcoat's, it will also eliminate the lack of power in Zayed's country.
Yes, I was thinking.
In fact, the problem, up to this point, was going well.
Everything, things carried him the way he wanted.
The Taural fortress fell without bitterness. I didn't drop it, I fell. The famous name of General Zyde-Hain is that he was still alive. It would also be significant to have succeeded in stirring up residential sentiment in Taural and disrupting the garrison forces in Taural Fortress. The resentment of one of the Taurals towards the Abad government is deep. Zayed promised to clear their grudges, thereby gaining the trust of the inhabitants.
Thus the fortress of Taural belonged to the Zayed army.
There were only five hundred or so garrisons in Taural, but they never joined Zayed's subordination. There was a conspiracy to rebel. There is no way the garrison, who pledges allegiance to the government, could be under the umbrella of Zayed. but that will also change depending on the situation. For example, if the situation in which the Abad government was placed worsened, something might appear that would change its position, and Zayed took those five hundred soldiers prisoner.
Because at that point, I didn't intend to cage.
Zayd was beginning to work out measures to drop Sentier after the Taural Fortress suppression.
Sentier is a city ruled by the Window Clan. After the death of Keene-Window, who was once a Sheila, it was thought that the influence of the Window clan had fallen to the ground with the beginning of the repression of the Sheila by the rise of the Sails, but after the Abad unrest, the Zeele-Window had successfully stood around, regaining its power as a ruler again. Since then, Sentier has also shown a presence as a special city within Abard. Anything, Zelle said that at the time of the unrest, she helped Sheila, gaining a say within Abad against the backdrop of that fact.
One of the major changes in the aftermath of the unrest was that the Sheilas regained their voice, and that Zayed was unconvinced.
Sheila must have been the trigger of the unrest.
In my head, I understand.
All the causes leading to civil unrest and unrest in Abad were Iseld-Abad's ambitions. That's how it's explained. You have to be convinced. That's all it is. But there's something about him that I'm not convinced of.
Weren't all the culprits, Sheila?
Even so, is it right that Sheila's evil deeds are written off and Iseld is held accountable for everything because Gandhia wins as a result?
That thought again. It became a reason for him to betray the Abard royal family.
Eradicate the Window Clan when mastering Sentier.
Zayed thought secretly and immersed himself in building a Sentier offensive operation.
In doing so, the circumstances surrounding Zayed changed.
It can be called a dramatic change.
Leongand-led Gandhian troops took off Maldia and arrived in Abad territory.
The reward went into Zayed's ear on April 10th. It was on March 28th that the Zayed army took control of the Taural Fortress. It's only been more than ten days. To the arrival of the Gandhian army Abad at an unimaginable speed, Zayed turned bright white in his head.
Different story, he thought, but the person to be stuffed may also have thought so.
Gisele Court should have intended to keep the Leongands and the Gandhian army in the land of Maldia for a long time. At the very least, we need to buy time to put the majority of Gandhia under control. It has to be unexpected, such as reaching Abad in about ten days from Zayed's rebellion.
Zayed had to put an end to his plans to march on Sentier and assume that the Gandhian army would send troops to Fortress Taural.
The Gandhian army took off Maldia, naturally, to discuss Giselcoat and other rebels. If we do not discuss Gisele Court and put an end to the insurgency, there is no future for the Leongand regime. I guess that's why you took off Maldia as soon as possible, but it's still too early.
According to Gisele Court's story, it meant that several countries were cooperating in his rebellion, and Maldia should have been one of them. In the Maldia army, did it not even serve as a stepping stone?
I guess so.
The Gandhian army was easily kicked in by the Maldians and others, leading to the Valter. And you must have found out about Zayd's rebellion at Valter. Abard belongs to Gandhia. Even as a leongand, we can't abandon the Zayed rebellion or anything. I'll make sure they send in the army.
Zayd did what he thought.
It was only on the twelfth that Zayed heard the news that an army separated from the Gandhian army was on its way to Taural. And the slowness of the information was understandable from the fact that a few hours after I heard the news, I was able to visualize the Gandhian army from the Taural fortress.
Valter is far from the Taural fortress.
There is no choice but to delay the information.
Whatever it was, it wasn't if you said you had no choice. We have to intercept it. But how do you mean, intercept? The breakdown of enemy forces is somewhat clear. The Black Beast Corps led by Sheila, about four thousand troops dominated by the Ishika Star Bow Corps. It can be called the Great Army.
In contrast, the total strength of the Zayed army is roughly one thousand and five hundred. The inhabitants of Taural cannot be a force of war. Although it was only possible to confuse the garrisons of the fortress, it was only because the garrisons could not reach out to the inhabitants. Being a Gandian army would be a different story.
Most likely, to Sheila and the soldiers of the Abad army, it's the same thing.
How should we fight?
There is one way to take it in two.
Strike out, discuss enemy commanders, or wait for reinforcements in a closed cage.
(Let's cage)
Zayed's decision was quick. We shut the gate and arranged an archer. The Taural Fortress is difficult to defeat. Terrain, structure, difficult to attack, easy to protect. Multiple stretched walls and moats make it easy to stop enemy incursions.
Typically, to attack this fortress, you have to break through each wall in turn, and it will take a few days for the fortress to fall completely.
If Gisele Court is grasping the rapid rollover of the Gandhian army, he should be sending reinforcements to Zayed. Even for Gisele Court, the presence of the Zayed army is worth using.
Yes, I believed it.
That is why he caged the castle and closed all the gates of the fortress.
Just hold on for a few days.
No matter how Sheila is the opponent, it will break her bones to fall this fortress. It's not easy.
There are cases where his thoughts are shattered like that.
The gate that was supposed to have been closed suddenly opened, inviting the Gandian army in.
When the reward came in, Zayed felt bloody.
"What happened......!?
Though he shouted reflexively, he immediately realized.
The informant showed up.
"All of you, follow me. Bye."
Sheila and the others, who entered the fortress, were greeted by rebel soldiers just over two walls. The failure to receive any interception to get there is due in large part to Marino-Aqua measures. The gates of the castle have been opened from the inside, and all the gates of the walls that stand alongside them have been opened, because Marino's plot is working.
Marino stirred up an internal response.
It was no surprise that some of the rebels led by Zayed-Hayne questioned the rebellion itself, and that the Gandhian army's return from Maldia would have had the potential for the rebellion to be suppressed. So Marino forced a bunch of arrows to be shot inside the Taural Fortress. The letter noted that Gisellcourt's conspiracy itself was a Leongand measure; that Gisellcourt's conspiracy would end in failure; and that Leongand would not condone the conspirators, but would not do so if they were to surrender and cooperate. The last story in particular had gained credibility by giving practical examples of Saran and others, and seemed powerful enough to move the hearts and minds of the soldiers who were upset inside. but I didn't know if it actually worked.
It worked.
As the castle gate opened, the soldiers surrendered.
That represented an indication that the popularity of Zayed-Hayne was not necessarily high, as well as a small number of soldiers forced to join the rebels. The number of soldiers before Zayed is known.
Abard forbids them to have private soldiers, even if they are generals. All Abad soldiers must be royal soldiers and government soldiers.
"Naturally. Some of them will be intoxicated by General Zayed, and even if one were to mourn the status quo of Abad, nothing is strange."
Nor could she deny Marino's words, and Sheila set up a Heart of Beast. Marino is on the front line, probably because she has a background in originally serving as troop leader in the army on the Logner side and has the power to fight. It's different from the Ayn-Rajar and Allegrian-Scenes. But Sheila didn't expect her as a force of war, and that's where she admits herself.
What is expected as a force of war is the Sheilas, the Black Beasts, and the Saran and Star Bow Corps.
"I mourn the status quo...... hey"
"You don't know!
"No, I know,"
"You know!?
"Why are you surprised?"
I can hear my men talking, but Sheila ignored them. It is only natural that there are different opinions on Abard's current situation. Thinking differs from one person to another. It's no surprise that some things didn't make Abard a good country for Gandhia. Instead, it may be stranger not to be uncomfortable that Abard, who has walked independently, has suddenly become subordinate to a great power. But now is not the time to think about it.
Sheila thought only of defeating a standing enemy. I accept the surrenderers, but if they are hostile, I will not condone them. Although I don't want to kill you as much as I can, if I can't make it work, it's also likely to do harm to my allies. If you want to keep your allies to the limit of damage, you don't want to kill all enemies you encounter. There is also the hand of stunning and restraining, but given the hassle of restraining them, it is not a good one. All the more so if you're in a brawl.
The same Abirds didn't want to kill each other. But circumstances don't allow it. If they have chosen a path that is hostile to the Abad royal family and hostile to the Leongands, there is nothing more to it than to fight.
We have to kill him.
Sheila invaded the fortress at an overwhelming rate as she cut down the rebel soldiers at Heart of Beast.
The castle gate at Sube on multiple walls was open. It was a bunch of surrendered soldiers who opened them, joining them near Heavenly Guard, who were wounded by the way, but laughed that it was an injury to their honor. And I apologized to Sheila for the flat apology. Sheila rather thanked them for apologizing that following Zayed turned out to betray the Abad royal family and caused this to happen.
Because they have limited themselves to Zayed, because Taural will soon fall.
By the time it reached Heaven's Watch, more than half of the Zeid Army had surrendered to the Abad Liberation Army, and about half of the remaining Zeid Army had been wounded or killed in combat with the Liberation Army. This means that about a quarter will protect Heavenly Guard or be in Heavenly Guard.
Of course, the PLA side is not intact. There have been numerous casualties, but there were no deaths from the Black Beast Squad, nor from the Star Bow Soldiers. They were all from the Tooth Beast Regiment, the Claw Beast Regiment. It's not something to be happy about.
"It's heavenly to leave behind."
"If Zayd were to surrender, that would be the end."
"Even if the general surrenders, it's a maximum sentence, isn't it?
"I know."
Sheila looked bitter at Marino's words. I get it. Zayed rebelled. It is also by the will of Mizumi. Everything is different from Saran, who made the attempted assassination. In Saran's case, it was the king's life. There is nothing more than obeying. By contrast, Zayed is his own will. There was also a path of not committing a conspiracy. We've just surrendered, and it's probably too late.
"Well, more self-respecting than the general, I don't think he's going to surrender."
is, Saran. It would be his last remark after analyzing Zayed. And that's probably for sure. Zayed-Hayne was a stubborn, inconvenient, self-respecting figure on top of that. It was Sheila's father Reserg's Zayed review that she was a user-friendly person in that she could also use it to tickle that self-esteem. I'm not making a fool of myself, but that kind of pride is what the general deserves.
"I guess."
In front of Heaven's Watch, Sheila retightened her mind.
Heavenly Guards were guarded by hundreds of Zeid soldiers.
