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

Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Twenty-two: The End of a Dream (XIV)

"Will you finally attack Zalwarn"

Leongand, with the thought of biting his umbilical cord, was looking through the news from Ein. I had heard that Maldia had fallen, and I knew it would be a matter of time. But it's too soon nonetheless.

It was two days ago that Leongand heard of the demise of Maldia.

Of course, we knew that the invasion of Maldia by Vashtaria had begun long ago. but nevertheless, I have to think it's early. I just thought it was something that would take a little longer, no matter how little Maldia's power was. But I guess that was the sweet idea.

Ayn-Rajar, a warrior who returned to the king's capital to convey the accompaniment of the Vashtarian army, turned his heels back to the Dragon House immediately after conveying the information to the Leongans. Vashtarian forces are taking control of Abad and approaching Zalwarn. It is the role of the warrior to enter the Dragon House and work out strategies and tactics.

At last, though, I heard and know in a report a few days ago that Gandhian territory had become so much of a battlefield. This time the surprise is greater than when I heard the news, simply because the Zalwarn side is more familiar as an impression than the Kruselk side.

On the Kruselk side, I have the impression that Leongando feels far from the other side. Even Zalwarn was quite far away, but he had no choice but to stretch further northeast on the Kruselk side because it was a further land than that. I guess information about the invasion of the Imperial Army's failure to reach the King's Capital inside is also, in a way, unhelpful.

On the Kruselk side, there is also the impression that the land of General Deion Lars-Krusel, left eye. Deion said he struggled to master Kruselk because of Nares-Ragnahorn's measures, and thanks to that, everyone was starting to have the impression of Deion when it came to Kruselk. I made Krusail his territory, also because Krusail is the center of Krusalk's side, and he deserves it.

With such the cohesion of the rulers of Kruselk, there is no match for the quantity of Imperial Army, and the front continues to retreat, he said. Ein also tells Deion to retreat to Malwale so he doesn't waste his power, but how does it work too?

By the time the remnants of the military forces of the Kruselk side led by Deion arrived in Malware, Vashtarian troops might be in the process of attacking Malware, and in that case they might not even be able to rendezvous with the military of the Kruselk side and the Zalwarn side. Because the overwhelming quantity of Vashtarian troops must prevent them from reaching Malware. The Zalwarn side of the MalwayThe military may be able to retreat, but how about Deion. Don't we just get caught in the crossfire between the Imperial Army and the Vashtarian Army when we get back to Said Rock?

No, it's not unlikely that Saidlock itself will be attacked by the Vashtarian army. We are talking about the simultaneous invasion of the countries of the northern end of the small group of nations by the Vashtarian community. It was not surprising that neighboring Giuwain, Sylvina, had been destroyed during the same period when Maldia was destroyed, and it was not surprising at all that Vashtarian troops had avalanched from those territories into Gandhian territory.

It seems that not only the Vashtarian army, but all the forces of the three major forces, did not concentrate their forces because a single concentration of that vast excessive force could be broken. From what I can tell, that judgment is not a mistake, because both the Imperial Army, the Holy King's Army and even the Vashtarian Army are calling for a total of two million troops. Gathering as many as two million troops in one place is too much waste. Even 100,000 is excessive in attacking and destroying a small country. Two million is out of control.

Thus, the three main forces dispersed their forces of war among each. The destination, which seems to be in mainland Gandhia, would never be in vain to extend the sphere of power to small groups of countries if we considered the situation after the fulfilment of our aims. That's why we're marching on attacking and destroying small nations.

If we can figure out what that purpose is, we may be able to overshadow the situation, but so far we have not even received a halfway through the investigation from Setuna and the others. They are now underground deep in the Gandia mainland. It will be a few days before we find out the findings.

Leongand was anxious about Setuna's absence. No Arya has always leaned in like a shadow. Arya, along with Ur, is on his way to the Imperial Army headquarters. If you can “rule” the Emperor, you can control the Imperial Army. That way, we can also turn the Imperial Army's power into Gandia's defense. That was by far the most anticipated measure.

To the Kingdom of the Holy Deal he turned to Kelius-Magnate, Gilveer-Gandia, as messenger. The Deal Army doesn't have to work with me, but I expect Midgard-Weharam to listen to me, but what happens?

Vashtalia has no choice.

Kuon-Kamiya may listen to me, but in order to do so, we will need to put Setuna up to the messenger. Whether that bet is worth enough to diminish the protection of mainland Gandhia.

More importantly, I was concerned about the Dragon House in Leongand.

In the Dragon House, his family is hiding. To his wife and queen, Nage, to his daughter, Leona, and to his sister, Linonclair, to his mother, Gracia, all lurked in the dragon palace. There were expectations that the Dragon House would be able to spare its annihilation, both in terms of its strength and its visibility as an ancient capital, even if there was an attack by a large force.

Nage wanted to stay in Gandion. If destined to perish at any rate, she has complained with tears that she would like to remain in the royal palace with Leongand and come to an end. Leongand knew how Nage felt so painfully. Same. I felt the same. Leongando also has the desire to see the moment when it all ends in Gandion, the king's capital, and the Lion Royal Palace, without the help of stopping the invasion of the three main forces and knowing that the purpose lies on Gandia's mainland.

But that's why Leongand didn't accept her wishes. She has a mission to raise Leona. Gandhia's blood must not cease. Even if the country perishes and we lose our position as royalty, we will have no face for our ancestors if we stop this blood.

Of course, that's not the only reason I drove Nage and Leona to Dragon House. Leongand didn't want his beloved Nages to die.

Surviving itself is not a difficult thing.

You can abandon the king's capital, dive somewhere, and wait for the battle to end. Fortunately, there is no time for examples of underground spaces to escape war, such as the Dragon House and Bahandar. As easy as laying low and spending the battle. We know that the purpose of the march of the three forces is mainland Gandhia and that they will not commit barbaric acts that would kill all the inhabitants of the city. If you lurk in the basement of the Dragon Mansion, the battle will end sooner or later. I guess one of the three major forces will be the winner of a battle that doesn't even know what this is all about. That's not necessarily the end of this battle, but in any case, it's never hard to stay alive until the confusion has subsided.

But to Leongand, I couldn't do that.

It's unthinkable, abandoning the Gandion and descending into the field.

It's just like ending a dream.

(Dreams...)

Leongand sits on the throne and thinks alone.

Dreams.

I had this great dream of small group reunification.

It was a dream that, from the standpoint of being nothing more than a king of a weak and small nation, was uninterruptedly large and unlikely to be frightened of anyone. It's called paranoia. It's called fantasy. That's about all I can't think about.

Gandhia was nothing but a weak nation.

Lucion, a small country to the extent that it had been able to sustain its national territory in spite of its alliance with Mion. Without military power, the general is less proficient. It was slandered as the weakest of the three Alliance countries and said to be weak even compared to Logner, Zalwarn. Why did he, born as the prince of such a country, dream of the unity of a small group of nations, without even reaching the modest idea of maintaining its national territory?

The floor between the thrones is covered with a crimson carpet.

There's nobody there right now. The neighbors were paying off, and Ayn-Rajar, of the two military masters, is flying to the Dragon House, and Allegria-Scene is holding military discussions with the Grand Gentlemen.

There is something blurry floating in the void where no one is.

Phantom of a brunette boy. It was the boy with the pitch-black spear, which was just disastrous, who dreamed of Leongand himself.

(Setuna)

Leongand spins his name, in his chest, in love.

Setuna-Kamiya.

Kamiya-san.

If he hadn't been summoned from another world, Leongando's dream would have ended as he had dreamed. It can't be real. Logner may have been able to attack, but he may have had to throw his life into Zalwarn's reign, and could have been destroyed by the Demon King's Army in Kruselk with no hands or feet.

Anything, thanks to Setuna.

His presence allowed Gandhia to take numerous victories.

Gandhia's leap, Lumpy, is largely due to his presence.

Gandhian hero.

Everyone compliments so much.

A thousand fierce men on one horse.

Dragon killer.

Demon slaughter, or, 10,000 demons unjust.

His presence, glorified by two different names, held Leongand's dream back.

It drove him to the wilderness of the warring world called the small group of nations, and made him chase his dreams.

Keep following your dreams. Not much, enough to forget reality.

Blink.

Setuna's phantom had disappeared, and Allegria stood.

Maybe it's time to wake up.

There are feelings that it will be over, and there are feelings that it will be enough.

I've been running.

Just over a few years.

We've been rushing through at an unlikely rate if we think about it normally.

Even if you get tired, you can't help it. Yeah, I'll tell you what.

"Your Majesty... you don't seem to have a superior complexion"

"What? Sleep a little and it'll heal"

I'll tell you.

"Dreams are still halfway down the road."

That is why it must not end.

It shouldn't end.

But he did hear the footsteps of doom.
