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

Within that day, when reports came in that giant ship owned by the Zaion Empire Navy had landed on the northern shore of the island of Benoa, the Knights worked out measures and took action as soon as possible.

However, we did not immediately enter an interception posture.

Priority should be given to gathering information first, the Knights thought, forming a force for it.

Once again, a request for cooperation was made to Setuna in order to know what its purpose was for the Imperial Navy to land on the island of Benoa and, depending on its purpose, to be a force capable of inflicting pain on the Imperial Army. Setuna, also thanking the Knights for the fact that they were moving for themselves, promised to cooperate and was to be dispatched to the northern shore of Benoa just now as part of an investigative unit.

The investigating unit, with the Orthodox Knight Floyd Zan-Esteban as its captain, two Orthodox Knights, fifteen Quasi-Knights and thirty Sub-Knights came under its command. Setuna will be accompanied as its external collaborator along with Rem.

Flood's appointment as the chief of the investigation unit must of course be based on his previous track record, but it must also have a lot to do with the thickness of the people's expectations coming from his spirituality. When he meets as an investigative force, Setuna sees the sight of Flood being admired not only by knights below the quasi-knights, but also by the equally qualified Orthodox knights.

I'm not surprised by that fact. He is a knight enough to be entrusted with the guidance of Setuna, even among the former Rowfa. It was a certainty that Rowfa, a Knights executive, could not be expected to leave that much to a knight he did not even trust, nor did he place a great deal of trust in it, when, after the ceremony, he found the figure of Rowfa speaking aloud and intimately to Flood.

Rowfa, a man with a side and a reputation for being an uncomfortable man, gave him a shattered look. That, in other words, means that's all Rowfa puts his faith in Flood.

Besides, Rowfa isn't the only one who appreciates him. Sid, Bain and Luveris both seem to admire him highly, and even rumors are circulating that he is the head of the next Cavaliers executive candidate.

Most importantly, Flood himself smiled at the rumours that he would not wear kasas for being appreciated by Knights executives, but also as the lead candidate for the next Knights executive. For him, it is not enough to take such rumours and so on, and it is unnecessary in deceiving his true worth as a knight, he said.

On the surface, it is a flood that is often seen as a person who is always bright and probably also crushed, but the essence of it is also what should be called an example of a Knights Knight, and Setsuna thought it was because he is such a man that he gathers the respect of the Knights Knights.

And I was proud and glad that such Flood recognized their caregivers and was constantly caring about them.

It was in the early morning of January 29th that the investigation unit, captained by Flood Zan-Esteban, left Benoa, that is, the morning after Setuna heard about the appearance of the Imperial Army ship on the northern shore of the island of Benoa, which would mean that he could see the speed with which the Knights acted.

As for the Knights, it was necessary to explore as soon as possible the purpose for which the Zaion Empire had landed on the island of Benoa. If the Zaion Empire is looking to dominate and dominate the island of Benoa, it must do its utmost to defeat it and protect Benoagard and the island of Benoa. To do this, after grasping the power of the Imperial Army, the Knights' power had to be assembled in northern Benoagard, where quick intelligence gathering was required more than anything else.

On top of that, perhaps the ships of the Empire that crossed the sea and reached the island of Benoa beyond the far reaches of the Zaion Empire may be available for the purpose of Setsuna, to Lyohan. That is also a wish or a fulfillment for the Knights, who spared no cooperation for Setuna, and if the Imperial Army says they will respond to the negotiations, they will negotiate their way to Lyohan in Setuna.

If you do not respond to the negotiations and land for the purpose of invading the island of Benoa, you can destroy the Imperial Army and take the ship, the Knights believe. What this one wants is a way to cross the ocean, not the cooperation of the Imperial Army. If the Imperial Army won't cooperate, I have the feeling that I am exercising my powers.

Of course, it is best not to, but it is also true that anxiety remains, considering that the Imperial Army, which has just kicked through a small group of nations, will respond to negotiations with Benoagard.

The arrival of a giant ship on the island of Benoa revealed that the Zaion Empire retained a great power in the post-Great Destruction world. The “great destruction” that tore the continent apart should naturally have also partitioned the territory of one of the three major forces, the Zaion Empire, and it is hard to believe that it did not fall victim to the crustal fluctuations that struck the small group of nations. But given that we could afford to send troops overseas on a large ship, the forces of the Empire didn't seem so faded.

It was said by the former that imperial territory was about the same or more than a small group of nations. Even if they tore the national territory apart and splattered, it's no wonder they retained more power than Benoagard, no, this island of Benoa. And it wasn't surprising, even if they marched that force as not extending overseas.

Whatever the purpose of the Empire, there is no other way to get there right now.

Setuna, along with the Floods, ran north of Benoagard, just a horse.

Desolated by the “great destruction”, it rushes through the landscape transformed into a barren earth. Sometimes it would be winter that I don't see greenery, but even in spring I couldn't imagine the beautiful sight of grasshopping spreading. The same thing Setsuna saw just after Benoagard's descent, like a pure white rock mass protruding from the ground, was uncomfortable. The Floods don't even know what those white rock masses are.

"After the Great Destruction, it became visible everywhere."

"What about Dr. Maria?

"My lord teacher said I had never heard anything like that."

Seetuna gave no answer to what the white rock mass, which Malik had heard about albinism and divinity, was an event that Maria was also unaware of. I thought it might be albinism in nature, but apparently not. Grasshoppers have what is called crystallization as a symptom equivalent to albinism.

Albinism and crystallization.

They are eroding the Illus Valle after the Great Destruction, and as long as there is no cure for them, this world will not be immune from annihilation.

“The Great Destruction” protected Iles Valle from extinction by the Resurrection of the Holy King. but it did not lead to a fundamental solution. It means that there is no other way to save the world than to wipe out completely this terrible phenomenon that covers the entire world. And Setuna doesn't know if she can do that.

Whether that's connected to Setuna's own purpose is even unclear.

Eventually, we arrived near the northern shore of Benoa the following morning.

He joined the Knights scouts who were continuing their investigation on the ground and heard about the trend of the Imperial Army. According to the story, when the Imperial Army anchored a giant ship on the north shore, it began setting up a camp. And when the camp was completed, he said he had initiated a perimeter survey.

"The investigation still seems to have landed for the sole purpose."

"Well, there's no way they won't land for no purpose..."

"Still, you're really big, Imperial Ship"

Rem's rare and astonishing voice was due to the fact that a giant ship floating in the ocean was so far away that it was just ahead of his eyes and nose.

Setuna and the others were lurking on hills close to the north shore. From there, it was difficult to be noticed by the Imperial Army, which landed on the island of Benoa and built a camp on the north shore, to explore the conditions of the camp and to ascertain the giant ship.

Indeed, the ships that stood on the north shore were uninterrupted and enormous. The enormity of what you might call a battleship was as reported by the Knights scourge that the fortress seemed to be floating in the sea as it was. It would only be shocking for the knights, who have never seen a sea ship, and it was a stunning and deserving substitute for Setuna, who doesn't actually remember seeing a battleship or anything else.

Perhaps it would never be surprising if Setuna were born and raised in the world. But the black and huge fortress floating in the sea in front of him was so prestigious as to overshadow common sense in Setuna that he could not help but be afraid of its appearance, which nestled gently in a sea breeze.

The fact that it is an Imperial Army-owned ship is also evident from the flag raised on the sail pillar. He insisted greatly that the flag engraved with the Empire's crest was hanging in the sea breeze and belonged to the Zaion Empire. The giant squadron is painted black overall, with golden decorations everywhere. Especially the statue of the goddess on the bow, everything seemed to be made of gold, beautiful and luxurious. I don't see any turrets anywhere on the hull, but that should do the same. It's like guns and firearms don't exist in this world. It is strange that even with the technical skills of the Empire, it will not be R&D, but without it there was no problem.

In addition to one immense ship, there were two smaller ships than that. This means that a total of three convoys visited the island of Benoa.

There seemed to be hundreds or thousands of imperial soldiers aboard the three ships, and the camp built by those imperial soldiers was also vast.

"Does the fact that you've carried that many people, after all, mean that the invasion is an end"

"I don't know... I can't read the empire's thoughts at all"

To Flood's question, Setuna put on an arm and thought. I can't imagine at all what the Empire planned and rolled out to the outer ocean for. The Empire is not an exaggeration to say that God originally established Himself to serve His purpose. And then for hundreds of years, it was also for God's sake that he remained unambitious and silent. The Return of God to the World to Be by the Resurrection of the Holy Emperor - the three major forces existed just for that reason. With the resurrection of the Holy King stopped, it remains unclear what happened to the gods.

Some gods may be wreaking confusion on this illus valle with their bellies interrupted from returning to the original world, like Ashtra, and others will wait and lurk for the next opportunity.

God of the Empire, please.

The God of the Empire is such a God that he didn't even hate to remain silent for hundreds of years to fulfill his purpose. I don't think you're going to be self-inflicted like Ashtra because you failed to resurrect the Holy King once. But it was also hard to believe that he had returned as the shadow ruler of the Empire. If so, it's because I don't think the Imperial Army ships can cover the island of Benoa. For the sake of the next opportunity, and if we are to remain silent, it is unlikely that we will march abroad.

In other words, isn't the present action of the Imperial Army a reflection of God's will? Most of all, there is no possibility that the Empire God is moving soldiers to explore the next opportunity for the resurrection of the Holy King.

In short, it's useless to think about it.

"Speaking of empires, what does Lady Neewe do to come?

Setuna looked at her face as Rem had inadvertently pronounced an unexpected name. I don't even know what Rem meant by Setuna's reaction, and he tilts his little neck.

"... I don't know. I don't even know if he's alive or dead."

In fact, I had no idea what was happening to Niewe right now. In the first place, I could feel him being the same because he had the Edge of Thurst, a family member of the Black Spear, and I could no longer feel Neewe, something that had happened since the Edge of Thurst merged with the Black Spear. There seemed to be no such thing as a soul resonating because it was the same. No, maybe it's because they're no longer the same.

Neewe, who lived half-way across the world, was no longer entirely identical to Setuna and was out of his destiny to make a showdown. Setsuna will therefore not have to fight Neewe, and there is no longer any chance that Neewe will turn to the enemies of Setsuna. Most importantly, in the final war, Setsuna and Niewe were not unlikely to confront each other. Because I couldn't say enough that he could not possibly be on the front line, who was the Empire's prince and Lord of the Fight. Fortunately, Setsuna has not had to encounter Niewe on the battlefield. If he were to make contact and engage, Setuna would have killed him without hesitation.

Setuna at that time could not even control herself by anger at irrational fate.

"When you say Neewe, you're the empire prince, right?

"Yeah, I had a little connection with him."

"Hmm?"

When Flood looked intrigued, Lem opened his mouth with a windy face he found out about.

"Dear Neewe, I hear you're like a living copy of your husband. I, unfortunately, have never seen it."

"Are you sorry?

"Yes, because it was my dream to serve your husband."

Setuna let it down because Rem has gone with a look that he can't even joke about. When she says it that way, the truth is largely mixed.

"You're gonna make me samurai."

"Yes. Like your husband"

"When did I make you serve me?"

"Both of you, be quiet"

"Ah..."

"If you're making a scene, you'll be noticed"

"It's your fault."

"Your husband has a bad affair."

Who is it?

Setuna flaunted her shoulders as Lem's teasing half and genuinely half said. I don't know what she's trying to say. Even if Setuna doesn't mean that, from the eyes of others, there's just no choice but to be received that way. There is no prediction of explanation.

Lord Setuna.

"What's up?

Feeling the change in Flood's voice, Setuna swept away the crap in her brain.

"There's movement in the camp."

"Noticed?

"No, something seems to be gathering the soldiers of the Empire."

"Hmm..."

Setuna, just thinking a little, stepped away from the sides of the Floods. Ass the Floods with a strange face, cast a spell. Just a word, an armed summons, that. At that moment, an explosive light arises from the entire body of Setuna, which converges within his right hand. A pitch-black spear embodies from within the bands of light and materializes in his hands with a chilling weight. Black spear. Chaos bringer. Or, the Demon King's Wand.

When he approached the sides of the Floods again and lay down, Setuna succeeded in pinpointing the identity of the anomaly that was happening in the Imperial Army camp by means of his dramatically improved vision.

It seems that the generals in the Imperial Army camp gather at the entrance and exit of the camp and are waiting for someone to arrive from the ship. It can be seen that the person apparently waited on board until the camp was completed. And from what the generals say, it also turns out what the person is called. Visual is not the only thing that black spears enhance. Hearing, smelling, tactile - every sensation is enhanced. I've never confirmed it, but it may also enhance my taste.

That's why the smell of the sea breeze became so sharp.

"Apparently, the soldiers are waiting for someone known as His Excellency."

"My lord..."

"Do you know a man called His Excellency in the Empire?

"Ha... Empire's internal affection doesn't convey much. I'm familiar with members of the royal family."

It was Flood, but I soon found out that it was something I didn't even have to ask him.

His Excellency landed on the island of Benoa aboard a boat that came out of the ship.

The man known as His Excellency was a woman.

The big woman with red eyes in her dark hair matched someone in Setuna's memory.

Nina Raas-Enciel.
