I touched on the fact that Setuna and the others entered the Stra fortress on the first of January, just after the year opened.

The beginning of the year is also an important milestone in this world. I guess it's the same in every world, in every country, to celebrate the dawn of a new year and pray for a disease-free breath for a year. It was the case in Gandhia, and in Benoagard, it remains the same.

However, Benoagard had nothing like the King and Queen greeting the New Year and, unlike Gandhia, issued throughout the country, the Knights Commander making some kind of declaration to the people. It is reasonable that the Knights, even though they preside over the politics of Benoagard, carry out state operations on behalf of the people. It is the position for the good of the people that gives the Knights absolute righteousness and is a factor in gathering support from the people. The ruler behaved like a ruler.

The beginning of the year in Benoagard is a festival led by the people, and it must be a lot of noise in Benoa, Flood said. The Orthodox Knight Flood Zan-Esteban under Rowfa Zan-Seyvas is clearly attached to Setuna and Rem and takes care of him. Thanks to Flood, Setuna and the others are blending into the Knights without any difficulty.

"Noisy, is it?

"Originally, people from Benoa loved the festivities. Since before the revolution, it was something that made a fuss about turning the heavens and the earth upside down. That became the beginning of the year after the revolution. It is the beginning that His Excellency the former Commander of the Regiment was designed to listen to the voices of the citizens and involve Benoa as a whole."

"Heh."

"However, the year immediately after the“ Great Destruction, "neither did the" Great Destruction ”scar take place at the beginning of last year, which was deep. That will be held this year, and the Knights will be at the festival in total. Even I wanted to celebrate the new year with my family."

"That's a shame."

"Say what"

Flood has fisted his chest and gone in a strong tone.

"You can always take a group with your family back to Benoa. But that won't happen if it's Benoagard's defense. It's the only time."

"Dear Flood"

"Well, I may not be needed in front of Lord Setuna and Lord Rem."

"No, I'm not."

Setsuna said, not flattered.

"Mr. Flood is very helpful."

I'm relieved to see Flood smile the way people like him.

I wonder if there's ever been a better person than Flood. The Setunas are able to safely be in the Knights because he is constantly keeping his eyes open. Without an intermediary like him, I can only imagine it would have been a little more uncomfortable in the world.

All the remaining knights in the Knights wholeheartedly subscribe to the philosophy of salvation. What I really don't agree with, I lost the temptation from the outside and left. If so, all that is only natural and pure temperatures will be gathered and further refined. In short, it's hard to stick around.

While everyone in the knight is exhausted by the reality after the “Great Destruction," he still tries to be the Knight of Salvation and is tempted to take the Knights' philosophy to heart. So do the Ozfeld, Sid, Luveris, Bain, Rowfa and the other thirteen knights, and even a mere Orthodox knight like Flood has such a heart.

When, you look dazzled.

Whenever Setsuna sees the glow of those people's hearts, she thinks it's good to respond to the Knights' requests for cooperation. Whenever I see the light their souls emit, I can look back at the likeness of my weak, fragile, foolish and unsaveable soul. I can gain the power to look directly at my own, nauseously fragile soul that has fled to hell.

That's how we celebrated the night of January 1st.

Having finished their dinner with nothing, Setuna entered the allotted room and went to bed after a meeting with Sid. How much time has passed since then? Suddenly, the sound of something collapsing echoed, and the fortress itself shook violently.

Setuna, as she jumped off the sleeping table, woke up slamming a sleeping lem next door and jumped out of the room holding her sleeping eye. Rem doesn't have to sleep. Even if you don't sleep, they can operate unlimited as long as you have physical strength. But it seems that less than two years of sleep have made her habitual to sleep, and since reunion, she has slept at night. Setsuna doesn't consider it a bad thing. Because I believed that a human lifestyle must make her somewhat happy, and sleep was important for her physical recovery.

"Is that your husband?

In Setuna's arms, Rem was decent. but Setuna, without explanation, ran through the passage in the fortress, ran up the stairs and popped outside. Moments, windstorms to awesomeness strike the Setunas.

Setuna flied out on the rooftop of the fortress's central building, from which it was possible to see a panoramic view of the fortress.

"This is..."

"Why, sir?

Release the just bewildered lem and cast a spell.

"Armed Summoning"

In the sensation of explosive flashes erupting from his entire body, Setsuna was witnessing a dark cloud-whirling night sky. One star. No sign of the sky. Thick clouds of black and black cover the heavens and hide them, wrapping vortexes. It's not just the clouds that swirl.

The momentum of a storm full of awesomeness gushed through the Stra fortress, and the heavy rain pouring down like a waterfall pierced his entire body and was painful.

There's just a storm rolling in.

It was with a black spear in his hand that he grasped that it was the sound of an explosion when that storm blew up the walls of the Stra fortress that he knocked Setuna up. It captured an unusually enhanced vision as the fortress was gradually beginning to erode by a storm that dug the earth and swirled with momentum that was just winding up the dirt and sand. I also hear screams. The soldiers who were on alert were blown by the storm and seemed to keep swirling as they rose high in the sky. I heard the demon cut off. He clashed with debris in the air and seemed to have died instantly.

The storm zone is expanding as we look at it, and as the excavation range expands, the walls are then blown up, becoming debris and rising to heaven. The soldiers escape into the fortress, but as it is, the fortress itself will be consumed by a storm? And in that case, everyone will have to wait for death without even being able to move. It's not something that you can move around freely in a storm.

"Master, this seems to be some kind of work."

"Look, I know."

It's not like a natural disaster, no matter how you look at it.

Even if there were such a storm, there couldn't have been such a thing as not moving around and just continuing to expand the storm zone. Not a typhoon or anything. I can only assume that the will of something is intervening.

Setuna stared as she grabbed the black spear. It was clear that there was something on the other side of the darkness, in the heart of the storm zone. Feel the power. A tremendously mighty twist of power, a flurry of will. Anger, wildness, roaring, rolling backwards. It's like a scream. It's like the soul is complaining about something, such a storm.

"I've been dreaming about your husband for a while, and some of them are impeccable."

And so on and so on and so on and so on, Rem invokes the “Reaper” symbol. The girl wearing the dark coat took a giant sickle out of her shadow as she stood behind Rem. The large blade that draws the curve is black and disastrous.

"What dream?

"No, I can't"

"I don't care what happens. It's a dream."

"Yes."

You admit it.

Setuna, frightened by Rem's light mouth, confirmed that the storm continued to expand the sphere of power without stopping. Although we can see that the knights of Stra Fortress are moving around to cope, there's nothing we can do about this. It is clear that the storm that erodes the fortress is an attack of some sort, but nothing but finding and overthrowing the attacker in order to stop it. That seemed impossible to the knights.

Sid and Bain would be different.

"Lord Setuna! There he is!

Flood running up the stairs pops out to the left of Setuna. Setuna warned, confirming his appearance in armor.

"Mr. Flood, please step back. It's dangerous."

"Say what! It's time to show our chivalry spirit."

"But"

Setuna tried to eat down because she didn't want Flood to die, but she couldn't. Because another knight showed himself on the rooftop where the Setunas were.

"Lord Setuna, Flood is right. Leave it to one of you, the knight of Benoagard, to break his name."

Sid showed up on the roof with Bain. They're both wearing armor. Setuna, by contrast, is a battle suit made in Azmaria, and Rem is a maid of honor. It wasn't bedtime clothing, considering the possibility of a night raid.

"That's right, Lord Setuna. We should work together here. The enemy is not alone or two."

Bain turned his gaze in the opposite direction of the storm. When he was seen, an army bearing the flag of Nair Benoagard was approaching from the northwest direction of the Stra fortress. Apparently, a few days ago, Bain defeated an army. He would have been intercepted, pretending to retreat and circling to the north side of Fortress Stra. To pinch this storm coming from the southeast. The number of soldiers is about two thousand. Normally if you have the power of war, you don't even get the number of things. Setuna alone, or any of the thirteen knights, will be able to handle it easily.

The problem is, there's a storm coming. If we leave nothing behind, the entire Stra fortress will be swallowed up, destroyed and destroyed. If you lose the Stra Fortress, Benoa will be naked. It could be to allow Nair Benoagard's full-scale invasion.

"And that..."

Sid stared across the storm. The other side of the storm that winds up dirt and debris and turns it backwards as a natural disaster itself.

"What's that? Do you have any idea?

"I'm sure it's him"

Sid laid his hand on the pattern of a sword strapped to his waist.

"Shivula Zan-Suor"

I could only see the signs that Flood was a little on Sid's word.
