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

Episode One Thousand Nine Hundred Seven, Second Lyohan Defense Battle (I)

March 7, 5006, continental calendar.

The Lyohan siege net by the Divine Army was narrowing by the day.

It is clear to everyone that the prospect of a divine army aiming at Lyohan is a mass battle by a large army totalling more than 200,000 troops and aimed at overthrowing the siege.

It was also a siege net caused by force differentials until despair, and Lyohan was in a desperate predicament. Though a few months ago it was pushed with tens of thousands of large armies that greatly surpassed Lyohan's total strength, it was pushed off by Lyohan's strength and dragon reinforcement, and now it should be thought that it was time to work out tactics in order to achieve a complete and indispensable victory.

Unovershadowed force difference.

Lyohan could not work with neighboring cities in such a way as to make things happen.

Lyohan is called a land island.

Once, at a time when the Wargrain continent was everything in the world and was divided into three major forces and a small group of States, Lyohan was an autonomous city existing within the sphere of power of the Vashtarian Community. All the surrounding quarters except Mount Lyov and the surrounding territories were Vashtarian spheres of power and did not even interact with cities, towns or villages. The Church recognized the autonomy of Lyohan, but it was not pleased that the Vashtarian man would interact with Lyohan. There are no Vashtara followers who do what the Church does not want. Naturally, Lyohan had become a floating presence in the Vashtarian sphere of power.

That's what Lyohan wanted.

The population is never large, but that's why we had the pride and the fact that we could do it on our own. I could have done anything without Vashtalia. Instead, I would have preferred no interference from Vashtalia. Otherwise, because there was no point in independent autonomy, and Vashtarian interference might hinder Lyohan's growth.

It had engulfed Lyohan, even after the "Great Destruction” had taken place and the Vashtarian community had seen the fear of collapse, as a constant and unchanged state.

Firstly, it is significant that many of the nearby cities still cannot abandon Vashtara and that the Vashtarian army recognises Lyohan as their enemy, a goal to be destroyed during the World War. Some cities are enough to call it all. The reign of Vashtaria by hundreds of years planted the Vashtarian faith in almost every person living within the Vashtarian sphere of power in the northern part of the continent, and it was no exaggeration to say that Vashtaria was everything in heaven and earth. The idea that the Church must be eliminated, no matter how unreasonable the reasons were, beyond what the Church has ordained as enemies, is breathing among Vashtara believers. That's the complete elimination of heretics.

Most of all, those cities lost much of their fighting power because of the World War, and the defense of the cities was limited. It is new to my memory that almost all of Vashtalia's forces were put into battle during the invasion of the Vashtarian army into a small group of states. As a result, the cities were not attacked by Lyohan by the chaos that followed the Great Destruction, and Lyohan could therefore be said to have abandoned those neighboring cities. Assuming a city appeared to try to undermine Lyohan's sovereignty, Lyohan would have had to wager the whole spirit to fight those cities and, although within the guardian kingdom, would not have been able to live in peace.

In that sense, perhaps we should be thankful that Vashtaria has directed all its forces towards a small group of nations. Most importantly, if Vashtaria hadn't moved, no, if the three forces, including Vashtaria, hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a world war or a "great destruction”, and there's no way that Vashtaria could have been happy with its full military input.

Anyway, for that reason, Lyohan couldn't work with the surrounding cities and be relative to the Divine Army. In the first place, as mentioned earlier, the reality is that neighboring cities can only be used to buy only a few hours before the Divine Army reaches Lyohan, even if only defensive forces have been left behind and they have been able to cooperate. And if you used it for such tactics, you'd buy useless grudges from those cities.

If the divine army is solely aimed at the domination of Lyohan, those cities will be abandoned, and there is no need to look to the darkness for cooperation, to attack and destroy them. Where it's doomed, it has no effect on Lyohan, but that's why I have no reason to have to look it off. Vashtalia was the enemy, but the idea that the enemy should be destroyed equally - etc. - is just horrible.

But even under such circumstances, every one of the inhabitants of Lyohan lived in peace and had no sense of crisis whatsoever. The people of Lyohan know that Lyohan was able to outrun the whole continent without any problems, both during the world war that shook it, and during the “great destruction” that tore it apart, and that the earlier battle against the Divine Army was able to rule victory without any particular problems. And it's also because we're not circulating useless information. Information control was also essential to avoid creating unnecessary confusion. Residents don't even know that Lyohan is besieged by the Divine Army.

Lyohan was able to escape multiple crises because, for one thing, he is protected by a barrier called the Seven Spirits Guardian Order.

Most importantly, the line from Malik, the patron saint of Lyohan, has protected Lyohan from ”great destruction” and has been protecting Lyohan for more than two years since then, but in a sense he has been powerless against the invasion of the Divine Army.

Because the guardian kingdom cannot rule out humans.

They say that we can also create a bond that eliminates humans, but if we do that, all the inhabitants of Lyohan will be eliminated without exception, and the whole area of Lyohan will be a deserted land. There's no way anyone would want that, and Malik wouldn't. Malik returned to God to protect the inhabitants of Lyohan and Lyohan.

"If I could imitate the cleverness of eliminating only the enemy, I'd never have crossed it."

And Malik said, but no one tried to blame him. Thanks to Malik, Lyohan is able to escape the effects of ”great destruction”. Without Malik, if Malik hadn't protected us, Lyohan would have been swallowed by the "Great Destruction” again and would have been devastated.

Besides, Malik's guardian kingdom is cleverly adjusted in that it is possible to accept dragons. Pushing any more impossible challenges would be unreasonable no matter how many opponents are gods. Even though I'm burdened. Malik has nothing in return.

Faria just thanked Malik for such care.

'I just want you to be assured that the power of the Divine Army will never extend within the conjuncture, for example, if it invites God. This is all I swear to you, with all my presence. "

To Malik's comforting words, Faria and the others were brave thoughts.

Even if a mighty God appeared, Lyohan, protected by the kingdom, would not fall.

That's all Phalia and the others can fight for.

The enemy is roughly 200,000.

By contrast, less than a tenth of them are allies.

In addition to the two thousand guardian samurai, six seven heavenly samurai, and the goddess of war, Faria, there are a thousand Dragon genus led by Ramles-Sypha Dorus, the Mad King of Ethereal Clothes. Not much for a total of three thousand. So let's hit 200,000 large armies. It's insane. There will be no such thing as insanity.

But to defend Lyohan, to defend the life of every inhabitant of Lyohan, there is no other means but to fight.

I don't have a hand in surrendering.

Gloria leaked it in a conference seat. It could be said that the meeting, with only the Seven Great Samurais and the Goddess of War face-to-face, was held to confirm readiness rather than to confirm tactics. We must still become Lyohan's top seven heavenly samurai and goddess of war. In the Guardian Peak Samurai, I'm a little uncomfortable. Doesn't mean I'm not strong. Instead, it can be said that no battle group as powerful as the Guardian Peak Samurai exists anywhere in the world looking. A combat group composed of armed summoners. Not the majority of the army. To say too much about the world's strongest, there was no doubt that it was at its peak.

Still, it is inferior to the Goddess of War and the Seven Great Heavenly Samurai.

The goddesses of war had an irreplaceable experience in action, which the Guardian Peak Samurai lacked.

"There's nothing to declare war on, is there? You don't have ears to listen to."

"Uh-huh. That's the problem with surrendering."

"Gloria's right. If the Divine Army is going to accept our surrender and acknowledge Lyohan's sovereignty, it will still, however, just invade us unilaterally. There's no room for negotiation."

There is no room for negotiation with the other party, as you can see in the first act.

If, as Ruufa said, the divine army has declared war on Lyohan, you can see that there is still negotiation there. Because I have words. Communicating a clear will could spread the story from there. I can't say enough about none of them. But there's nothing you can do to someone who has no declaration of war and is just showing signs of coming at you. I don't even know if you'll respond to my call. Because if there is no room for negotiation at all, it may not be, and the opinion may well be that every hand should be used for the survival of Lyohan. But it is also clear from the earlier battle with the Divine Army that the Divine Army is just about to attack and destroy Lyohan, and I have taken the negotiations and it is hard to imagine that they will take it.

All seven heavenly samurai gathered not only in Faria, but also in the venue of the meeting, looked difficult. The siege net is about to be immediately attached to the protective junction. Lyohan's battle position was almost over, and he was in a situation where he could be deployed at any time. The Guardian Peak Samurais were also extremely cooperative with the Phalia's when it came to this battle with the Divine Army. This could also be won in the battle against the Divine Army the other day because the Guardian Peak Samurais are aware of the fact that much is due to the activity of the Phalia people. They only actively adopted Phalia's opinion, and there was little negative reaction.

Even Vistendal-Haukmur, who complains about refugee policy, has not given any mouth when it comes to the actual battle. That's all that means we recognize our lack of experience and trust our experienced Faria's. This means that Faria as an exchanger and Faria as a combatant recognize him as separate, as well as proof that he is not moving in emotional theory.

"Even where there was room for negotiation, I don't think they'd be relieved of the peace."

The voice that suddenly rang in my head was harsh, intimidating, well-acquainted.

"Lady Ramles?

Faria looked over her head unconsciously, but could only see the ceiling of a room in the Battle Palace she was using for a meeting place. The figure of the Dragon King, who wraps around the scale of the flock blue, cannot be seen from here.

"I knew it was here."

Looking back at the flesh voices I heard, Ufiria-Surline stood at the entrance and exit. There was no such thing as a door in the Battle Palace, and anyone could have come in to the meeting place as long as they had the permission of the Guardian Peak Samurai who was escorting them and could have entered the premises. I mean, it's not the right place to hide things, but in the first place, it's a place that the general public can't access, so there was no problem.

"Ufi!"

Faria stood up with the momentum to knock down the chair as she saw her.

Ufiria had become like a tranquilizer to Faria without Miliu.
