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

Episode One Thousand Six Hundred and Fourteen: The End of the Dream (VI)

"Is that the Imperial Army?"

October 19, the continental calendar five hundred and thirteen.

Gandia's left-eye general Deion Lars-Kursale peeked into the binoculars and confirmed the unprecedented large army unfolding far away.

Knox Turreb on the Kurserk side of Gandia territory.

Deion, who held the position of Kurselk leader and left eye general of Gandhia, contacted Gandhion, the king's capital, and moved independently even as he set up his questioning, when he heard of the invasion of a small group of countries in the Zaion Empire. Specifically, he assembled his army on the Kruselk side and consolidated his eastern defense on the Kruselk side.

The Kruselk side army boasted a larger than the Zalwarn side among the Gandian army, as well as a unified organization under Deion's will. moved quickly with his one voice. The reaction was so petty that it never seemed in vain that he followed Nares' words and devoted himself to mastering the Kruselk side.

All in all, the Kruselk side of the army boasts eight legions. The total number of troops is twelve thousand, and the armed summoners are also deployed to each regiment one at a time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in the Gandhian army, the Lion's Tail, with the exception of the Setuna army, is the strongest aspect of the army. This enrichment is due in large part to the work of Deion. He ran to enrich the military's strength on the Kruselk side and also actively recruited an armed summoner. As a result, the Kruselk army became the newest of the Gandhian army, but also the most well-equipped.

Deion was restrained in the Kurserk side of the army's battle force enrichment because it was essential to gather people's hopes. Words alone don't follow one. I can't convince you from the bottom of my heart without showing clear track record. Thus the army on the Kruselk side could say that it was no longer under the control of Deion, and the army commanders and soldiers on the Kruselk side had even shown themselves to be more loyal to Deion than to Leongand. On the other hand, I wonder if that's okay as a minister, as long as Deion himself has pledged absolute loyalty to Leongand, and Seras-Beartrix, the head of the grand army who succeeded him, has drawn Deion's will to me. As long as she is the Commander of the Great Legion, the Kurserk side of the army will not be able to keep the Gandia royal family in check.

Information about the invasion of the Zaion Empire was still pouring in while the Kruselk side army, led by the great army commander Selas-Beartrix, was responding to Deion's decree and consolidating its defences on the Kruselk side.

The forces that emitted the territory of the Zaion Empire said they launched simultaneous attacks on the countries at the eastern end of the small group of nations. Countries with borders adjacent to imperial territory, such as Regrana, Shazane, Sedkia, Mashga, Herslit and Kalbar on the northeast end. Countries in the southeast of small groups of countries, such as Kalbar, Balladier and Quorraan, may also be under simultaneous attack. No information came in that far, but if the empire is bound by a simultaneous invasion, that's likely. That's also extremely.

The purpose of the invasion of the Empire's small group of nations was unknown.

The Empire broke hundreds of years of silence and set in motion. It is difficult to imagine that action was taken in search of territory in a small group of countries. It would be reasonable to assume that for some reason. However, the possibility that it was simply intended for territorial expansion could not be discarded either.

The Empire said it did not respond to Sedokia's negotiations.

Sedokia is a small country. It was smaller than the previous Gandhia, which swallowed Logner, and was the kind of country that was surviving this turmoil by entering into friendship with its neighbors. Naturally, the power that you can have is not a big deal either. There's no way we can stand up to the Imperial Army. Therefore, when the Imperial Army came aboard Sedkian territory, it immediately set up a negotiating envoy. But the Imperial Army rushed back unconsciously and attacked the cities and military strongholds of Sedkia. It was quickly destroyed and the Sedkian royal family was uprooted.

And Cedokia said that it had come to fruition with the imperial territory.

That's what's popping in.

"Simply because imperial rule has stabilized, it is possible that we have embarked on territorial expansion."

Selas-Beartrix, with a sinking face, said. If she's right, there's no way for Gandhia to survive. You don't even know she gives that look.

In fact, if we find out about the formation of the Imperial Army that destroyed Cedokia, Deion must also feel alive. More than 100,000 large armies attacked Sedkia, he said. 100,000. It would be less than 10,000, such as Sedkia's troops. Even if you quote a lot, it's between five and six thousand. Much less than the Kruselk army. There was no way I could win. It was swallowed by turbulence, but it was destroyed as well.

Sedokia is not the only country destroyed by the Empire.

Shazane, Regrana, was also lightly destroyed and said to have become imperial territory. Those two countries say they had more than Cedokia, but that is simply to the extent that the national territory was larger than Cedokia's. The power difference is enormous. It's overwhelming. Whether you make a move or use an armed summoner, it doesn't make sense.

When the reward of Meredo East Ridziul being destroyed by the Imperial Army without any means of exchange jumped into Deion, he was forced to be prepared.

East Ridziur is an adjacent area on the Kurserk side along with the western Ridziur, which has just become Gandian territory. The fact that the area has fallen into the hands of the Empire means that the Imperial Army will avalanche in the direction of Kruselk. There's no way I can stop the weir in West Ridgewall. West Ridziul is in the midst of Gotagota due to the change of rulers. There's no way we can fight properly, and in the first place, there can't be any decent fighting power in West Ridgewall. Not even the army on the other hand has been formed. I was just using my former squid army as it was.

Eventually, one of the people of West Ridziul fled towards Kruselk. Because the Imperial Army tried to destroy even West Ridgewall. There was no mercy for the Imperial Army. There was no mercy. It just harshly, naturally spreads the edge of the battle.

It was then on October 19th that the Imperial Army appeared on the side of Kurserk, Gandhian territory, and General Left Eye was pressed to make a decision.

Fight the Imperial Army, surrender or retreat.

Surrender is out of the question.

The Imperial Army did not even hear Cedokia or Shazan surrender. He didn't listen, just fought mischievously, destroying and killing. I don't know what that means. A bunch of battles that it's like you're enjoying ravaging. Cry. Cry. The information from the battlefield that reaches Deion was all tragic and hopeless, like the Imperial Army seemed like a ghost or a demon. However, that is not the case when the Imperial Army is brutally outrageous.

At least, there was no record that the general public was involved in the battle of the Imperial Army, even though it was considered a brutal and extreme act.

So I don't know.

General, what can you do?

"Thank you very much."

To Sellas' question, he shook his head.

The first step is to set up a negotiating envoy and buy some time.

Asking for Leongand's instructions takes time. The Kruselk side and the Gandhian mainland are too far apart. Regardless, Deion has authority as General Left Eye. When things happen, you don't have to ask for the King's instructions, you can move the army as General Left Eye thinks. Even if it was different from the intentions of the Leongand and Gandhian governments.

The question is whether we can buy time.

It is unlikely that the Imperial Army will respond to the negotiations with Gandia. Until now, we have not responded to the negotiations of many countries. Will Gandhia be the only one with a special response?

(Doing)

Deion admitted, not giving up.

There is no reason for the Imperial Army to respond to negotiations with Gandia. Whatever the purpose of the Imperial Army is, it would also try to swallow Gandia territory if it were intended to destroy the countries on the path and incorporate only that territory under its control.

What it means to leave only Gandhia is not in the Empire.

And if we were to take Gandia into account, West Ridgewall would have spared doom, too. But West Ridgewall was destroyed. Like East Ridziul, it's a shame.

And in fact, it didn't even come true that the messenger offered by Deion would come under the command of the Imperial Army.

October 20th.

An attack by the Imperial Army on the Kruselk side began.

The Imperial Army initially rolled out 50,000 troops that took control of East Ridziur against the Kruselk side of the Army 12,000. On the Kurserk side, the military had built a defensive line based in Turreb, but was pushed by the quantity of goods and forced to lower the front. Overwhelming battle power difference. Even in the number of armed summoners, they were overwhelmed. Nor was it an exaggeration to say that the great army of 12,000 was too small compared to the Imperial Army of 50,000.

"What a number......!

Deion had to look at a black armored army group pushing like Yunxia during the retreat.

Deion's army, which abandoned Turreb in the course of that day, pulled further down from Knox to Kruselk when it pulled to Nevia.

The Imperial Army, which had entered Knox, had swelled to 100,000 by then.
