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

Episode One Thousand Four Hundreds and Eighty-Five: The Continuation of Dreams (1)

"Where would Setuna choose"

Leongand uttered what he had in mind.

Wangdu Gandion Royal Palace Zone/Lion Royal Palace, between the thrones he is. Nearly two months away from the King's Capital to rescue Maldia. It's been a really long time since he laid his back on the throne in this way, and the sight of looking down from the throne was nostalgic but somewhere fresh.

"It must be Said Rock"

is an allegria-scene. Between the thrones there is only one near the king's side, Gilveer-Gandia, besides a candidate for military master. The other five are paying out, and they're still in between the thrones, about two of the Lion's Claws captain Laksas Zanaf-Bargazar, Lion's Fang captain Michelle Zanaf-Crowe and their men, as well as the Royal Palace Guards.

The fact that the Throne Room is wrapped in silence would also be due to it. The two SS Chiefs never speak a private language, and things around them are thorough with their men. There is no need for royal guards. Both Gilvere and Allegria are basically silent.

If Leongand hadn't said anything, this calm, easy-to-spend silence would have lasted forever.

"... will you spare me"

"It seems that Director Ayn has gone to advise you."

"... I see. I admire your ability to act."

"It's an honor to keep you complimented."

Allegria smiled and lowered her head.

"I wonder how Gibbel will get out."

"It will depend on General Hermaine-Sector. If that ambitious man is to bow his head to His Majesty, he wonders if we should continue to have the same relationship as before."

Her opinion was the best.

Gibbel did something that was certainly unacceptable. He betrayed the king of Gandhia, his ally, Leongando, and tuned in to Giselle Court. By joining the Maldia Rescue Army, he made his entrustment to Leongand, on the one hand, in keeping with Gisellcourt's plot to rebel and ready to invade the Zalwarn side. Planned action. That is an indisputable act of betrayal, and it is not enough to contest it. I can't show the world. Just because we were able to reclaim not only the Wang capital, but all of Gandhia, and cut off almost all Giselcoat and other traitors, that's not the problem we're allowed to have.

Just because we can get everything back, if we allow allies like Gibelle and Ichika to betray us, we will get an unexpected reputation and give the world the crappy impression that Gandia is weak, etc. Gandhia is no longer just a weak little country. At the very least, there are few countries in the small group of countries that can compete. Nevertheless, public reputation may also fall to the ground and trust in Gandia may be undermined if something weak and hits Gibelle or Squid. Even civil unrest is making a bad impression. In order to regain and improve our reputation, we have nothing but to make countries like Gibelle and Ichika strong and give in.

But when it came to just subjugating it, it was an unlikely story to immediately appeal to a word of battle. Given the difference in power, neither Zibel nor Ishika will be opponents, not even Azark or Laksha. As easy as attacking and destroying it is if you have the power of Gandia. There will be no bitterness, and we will be able to win. Those are the countries that endorsed Gisele Court and betrayed Leongando. Where it was attacked and destroyed, the public should see it as reasonable.

However, considering the cost of war and everything else, there was no such thing as waging a war right now.

The big war has just come to an end.

Everyone and he are exhausted.

The number of generals lost is by no means small.

More importantly, the cutting off of Gisele Court, who was the centrepiece of politics, as well as numerous politicians, had caused Gandia's political function to be half-corrupted. It was not only the anti-Leongans, but also the Leongans and Sethunas who endorsed Giselcoat. Confusion was a natural consequence, and the Leongands expected it. Even if we had just discussed Gisele Court alone, some confusion would have been inevitable.

Zephyr-Maldean and his neighbors are running around to normalize Gandhia's political function, and therefore there is only Zilveer between the thrones.

It was inconceivable to start a war under such circumstances for immediate sanction.

And there's no way a sanctioned country wouldn't imagine such a Gandhian situation. There was, of course, a chance that Gibelle and Squid would come out strong against Gandia's rebellion.

"What if I don't follow this opinion?

"If you don't comply by distributing Setuna to Seidlock, there is nothing more than sanctions. Forgive tyranny in one country, and countries will emerge that imitate it. And we're going to set a precedent for not being able to do anything to those countries."

"... Exactly."

"Even if it's not just a full-scale war, we should attack one of the cities and make it clear to the public how we think about our country."

"Or so it is."

Nod, decide to adopt the opinions of Allegria in your heart. Nothing needs to be fought with readiness to make a showdown from the start, which is exactly right, and cutting even part of the territory as a sanction would soften it instantly, even if Gibelle and Squid were curing their attitudes. Not countries that don't know what will happen if we turn Gandhia completely against our enemies. That's why I kept coming out poorly, even though I made an alliance.

"... how about Lucion"

"... you say?

"Halberg king of Lucion betrayed me. Regardless, I did not agree with the idea of Gisele Court, nor did I synchronize it. In Hulberg there was a thought of Hulberg, and he became my enemy by his will. He became my enemy, and he had to face it."

Failure to do so would have prevented him from fulfilling his dreams if he had not fought and beaten Leongando. I thought I couldn't.

The assumption moves one.

Of course, I know Gisele Court must have pushed his back. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been in tune with Gisele Court's conspiracy and would not have been hostile as his ally. But Halberg's will had nothing to do with Giselcoat's will. And Giselle Court would have understood that, too. We were just using each other.

Giselcoat used Hulberg as a force of war. It's not just power. It is also a force that can shake the spirit of Leongand. It may also have had the effect of impressing on the public that putting allied Lucion on their side would be of great value in Giselcoat's rebellion. Most importantly, the effect was too weak compared to the impression that Gisele Court had betrayed him, and I don't know if it made sense. In the first place, if Giselcoat were a man who cared about the public reputation, though he would have stomped through the conspiracy since it happened even with events that would make Leongand less impressive.

"Hulberg... he was dreaming of standing shoulder to shoulder with me and following his dreams. But I guess you've decided that's impossible as it is. So he challenged me to battle. By beating me, he will finally be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with me"

"That's why I was wondering if you'd like to be in tune with the conspiracy."

"Exactly"

There is nothing more to Zilvale's opinion than a nod.

In fact, it is. Whatever the reason, the fact that Halberg led the Lucion army, took part in the rebellion in Gisellcourt and turned to the enemies of Leongand will not disappear. They fought Leongando, bled heavily on each other, and dyed Balsar's field red. That was already known to the public, and few voices accusing Lucion reached Leongand's ears.

It must have been the betrayal of Lucion, the ally, that was shocking to the citizens of the Wang Dynasty as Gisele Court plotted against them.

Though there was nothing to criticize on behalf of Linonclair, who entered the king's capital with Leongand, I don't know what you think inside. Of course, as one person now thinks that Linonclair, who was the princess of Gandhia, was a betrayal, it makes no difference that she is the representative of Lucion today, and all criticism of Lucion pierced her.

"So I'm having trouble handling Lucion"

"Aren't you sure your majesty will do what you think?

"It sounds bad to the public."

Leongand glanced at Allegria and went. He treats Lucion special. Like Ishika and Jibel, despite the betrayal of their allies. That can be an alliance that Lucion has supported Gandhia for a long time compared to other countries, but turning Lucion against his enemies now would be troublesome. Plus at the time we discussed Hulberg, Lucion's apex has a linonclair on it. Sanctioning Lucion also means sanctioning Linonclair, my real sister.

To Leongand, I can't stand that.

Not only has Linonclair been betrayed by his beloved husband, he has witnessed the moment when his beloved husband is killed by his real brother. Since then, though I have been behaving with temperament until yesterday, inside, what emotions were swirling. I feel pain just imagining it.

"Beginning with His Majesty Hulberg, what was the Lord is scattered in the Battle of Balsar, and what survives is submitted to us, and in later battles he serves as our spiritual soldier. It's not like a squid or a jivel, so I was wondering if there was anything wrong with it."

"… then, fine"

Leongand was relieved.

"I'm relieved. Now you don't have to put an extra burden on Linonclair"

"Princess......"

Maybe it was on purpose that Allegria called him a princess about Linonclair. When my remarks go around and I hear them outside, it's the two military candidates who even consider making some impact. The way it's been handed down from Gandhia's best military teacher, Nares-Ragnahorn, maybe it is.

By treating Linonclair as the princess of Gandhia, I suppose he's also trying to elicit the sympathy of the Gandhians. In fact, one who is a born Gandian and knows the princess days of Linonclair well is sympathetic to Linonclair. Linonclair had no part in Hulberg's betrayal. She was also a person on the side of deceit and betrayal. She didn't believe in Hulberg's betrayal until the end, and even after she found out that was true, she thought she could do something if she persuaded her.

But it didn't.

Hulberg marched out while putting Linonclair to sleep and engaged Leongand. When Linonclair woke up, it was too late for anything.

Although she used Chartier-Fouse and transferred to the battlefield, she could not stop Hulberg.

Leongand, too, couldn't help but kill Halberg. If I hadn't killed him, Leongand could have been the one who was killed.

I had to kill him, cut him off.

Even if the result is to break Linonclair's heart.

Linonclair had left the King's Capital during last night and was on his way back to Lucion. Leongand could not demand a stay in her king's capital. Linonclair wanted to transfer the remains of Halberg and others to the land of Lucion as soon as possible to perform the funeral. It will be a national burial.

Hulberg is not a traitor to Gandhia.

We fought Gandhia's enemies as Gandhia requested.

That's a trick.

But he knows that if he doesn't, he can't protect Linonclair.

Leongand narrowed his eyes, aware that he would have a bitter look.

"... Jillvale"

"What is it, Your Majesty?"

"Did you hear that?

"Yes?"

When I looked at him with a suspicious face, his face looked a lot like Gisele Coat when he was younger.

"It's about Gisele Court."

Leongand said with a calm expression, trying his best.
