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

"Speaking of which, there are no other Seven Great Samurais."

Other than Kurt-Tarisma, who heads the warrior's palace, Asla-Bunel, who left for a search mission for the Milius with Setuna, and Milius, whose source is unknown.

The Seven Great Heavenly Samurai, as its name suggests, consists of a total of seven armed summoners. All of them were among the highest in Lyohan, which should be known as the main mountain of armed summoning. Among them jumping through is Gloria-Ourelia, and her strength is enough to outperform Syville-Swordwin, who was once the head of the four heavenly samurai and also the head of the seven heavenly samurai. Syville tried to give Gloria the lead seat from that, but Gloria refused so hard that it didn't come true.

The biggest reason Gloria refused to take the lead was because if she took the lead, she would be busy at work and couldn't take care of Ruufa and Emil, but another reason was that she shouldn't just choose the lead, which should be the commander of a group called the Seven Heavenly Samurai, on merit. Although Gloria had a proven track record of raising a splendid armed summoner named Ruufa, she couldn't say enough that she had no problems in terms of personality and bare lines, and there was nothing to share and deny that Syville, who was clean and white and personable, deserved the lead. Sylville, too, reluctantly followed Gloria's opinion, which brought together the shape of the Seven Great Heavenly Samurai.

The Seven Great Heavenly Samurai is based on the Four Great Heavenly Samurai.

Once upon a time, at the time of the War of Independence, it began to praise the four armed summoners who worked as the hands and feet of the goddess of war of the predecessors and who brought great results to Lyohan, making him the apostle of the goddess of war and collectively referred to him as Lyohan's guardian angel - the four great heavenly samurai. Since then, it has been decided to place four armed summoners under the direct authority of the goddess of war, who were particularly outstanding not only among the Guardian Peak Samurai, but also among all armed summoners present in Lyohan. Being chosen as the Four Great Heavenly Samurai was just such a tremendous honor that a glorious life was promised. For this reason, few people will be trained to be selected as the four heavenly samurai, and powerful people who do not belong to the Guardian Peak Samurai Corps are lurking all over Lyohan, he said.

There is an implicit understanding that the term of office of the four great heavenly samurai is less than twenty years long. It is up to everyone to decide whether the armed summoner himself chosen as the Four Great Heavenly Samurai will retire, but the decay that comes from age, and the self-esteemed ones of Lyohan's armed summoners will have no shame enough to fail to maintain their strength, and therefore many of the armed summoners appointed as the Four Great Heavenly Samurai will finish their roles when they begin to see decay. Thus, the four great heavenly samurai have changed generations.

It is also significant that Malik-Majik became the patron saint and that the four heavenly samurai were not replenished because, at the time, Farya-Valdish, a contemporary goddess of war, had passed away, trying to escape from a situation centred on the goddess of war by human proclamation. He was trying to stop the system itself called the Four Great Heavenly Samurai. But the final war, and the “great destruction” ripped the world apart, made it impossible to say the same.

Without the power of the goddess of war, we would no longer be able to hold Lyohan.

For this reason, it was decided that Faria would assume the position of second generation goddess of war and, at the same time, replenish the personnel of the four great heavenly samurai. At that time, it was decided to expand the boundaries of the four heavenly samurai by the proposal of Faria, and to add seven of the four heavenly samurai to the three of the four heavenly samurai: Luufa, Gloria, Miliu and Asura.

As for why I expanded the boundaries of the four great heavenly samurai, I had a Faria idea.

In a world disrupted by the final war and “great destruction", the four Great Heavenly Samurai may not be able to cope with the situation alone. It was a natural idea as Lyohan's ruler to have more than one of the trustworthy ones who would move as the hands and feet of the goddess of war. In fact, the presence of the Seven Great Heavenly Samurai has considerably reduced Faria's mental and physical burden.

"Gloria has gone on a perimeter area survey and Syville is participating in joint training with the Guardian Peak Samurai Corps. Nyu belongs to Malik, and Ruufa seems to be being used by Malik."

"Whatever Lord Nyu is, Lord Ruufa?

"Anything, you want to do an internal investigation into the Ark?"

"I see... so"

Alexei looked sinister.

The airship of the Divine Army, won by Kenan Yousnal, a family member of the madman King Ramles-Sypha Dorus of Ethereal Clothes, and brought it to Lyohan as a trophy - commonly known as the Ark, is still rested at the foot of the Lyov Mountains and placed under the watchful eye of the Guardian Peak Samurai. Though damage has been carved into the hull of the ark by the battle with Kenan Yousnal, it doesn't seem to be a great deal of damage. If you know how to start the Ark and how to maneuver it, it means it's not available.

Malik is therefore trying to investigate the Ark and uncover how it was started and manoeuvred.

"If we could use the Ark, it would help Setuna."

To Malik's word, Faria agreed with all her might and allowed personnel to be assigned for an internal investigation of the Ark. He's certainly right. It would be a lot of help for Setuna if she could move the ark freely. Setsuna is a human being. If you can't fly around the sky freely, you can't have inexhaustible health. We basically have to travel on foot or using horses on the ground, and it can't help but take time. The journey from Areutheras to Lyohan would have taken months. He tried to solve it forcefully in the rough business of simultaneous use of black spears and family members, but he couldn't possibly do something so intensely burdensome on himself every time. If you keep doing that, you won't have it. One day you will break your body.

The ark was able to travel far above the ground at considerable speeds. Unlike on earth, there are no obstacles in the sky. Without the highly undulating terrain, you are unlikely to encounter Imperial Demons or Divine Men. There is no need to be blocked by rivers or to look for a means to cross the Great Sea Plains. What's more, you can rest your body and mind while you're on the ark.

Setsuna intends to travel through Lyohan immediately if she can safely discover and secure Milyu. That would greatly reduce his future burden if he could have the Ark run by him, and more importantly, it would be easier for him to come back to Lyohan after he had completed his purpose. Even in that sense, Faria couldn't help but expect the Ark investigation to proceed.

"If I could fly the Ark freely, Lord Setuna would be pleased."

"Uh... yeah, that's right"

"Dear Faria,"

"Hey, what is it?

Faria was called again by Alexei and couldn't help remembering her nervousness. Isn't it as if Faria's chest is looking clear? Alexei tells me, however, with a gloomy look.

"If it's for Lord Setsuna, it's for Lord Setsuna, and if you ask me. You don't have to hide anything."

"Hey, what are you saying? The Ark's investigation is also essential as Lyohan"

"But the ark that I have completed my investigation is going to give it to Lord Setuna."

"Yes?"

Sometimes. I was going to lend it to you. Without setting a deadline for return. That is not an exaggeration to give to him. They poked me in the core.

"Lord Setsuna is apparently not the kind of person who stays in Lyohan. Perhaps if we end our covenant with the Empire, we will be headed somewhere again. It shall not seem to me that Lord Setuna is led by many voices, and that he is troubled."

"My grandfather..."

"I once saw and saw such a thing"

"Grandmother... you mean the goddess of war"

"Yes."

Alexei spoke quietly, affirming Faria's words.

"My predecessors... Faria was one of those people who didn't like the battle. He wore the art of armed summons only because he met an Azmarian master, and, to be honest, he didn't even want to acquire the art of self-defence. The struggle makes one's heart rough. Nothing is more obscure than the heart of a rough one. Faria knew that very well. So he wanted to live a life unrelated to the battle"

Faria was listening to her grandfather, full of surprises. Because this was the first time Alexei talked about the nature of her grandmother Faria-Valdish. As for becoming one of Faria-Valdish, Faria was proud to be familiar with Alexei and her mother. Fariah-Valdish as a goddess of war and Faria as a grandmother have seen her up close since she was a child. I've heard a lot about how you think as a goddess of war and how you think of your grandmother personally. I've lived those words as a lesson.

But I had never heard of Fariah-Valdish hating the struggle, etc.

Goddess of War.

Perhaps his role as a goddess who directs the struggle did not make him vomit such words.

"But she has acquired the art of armed summons. He was born with a rare talent and gained superior strength than anyone else. She's the one who can't help but live up to that responsibility more than she has gained strength. I was foolish. And he was purer than anyone, more noble than anyone."

Alexei was looking far away. Maybe I'm looking out for days that I miss far away.

"When the war of independence broke out, she was led by numerous voices, and she stood on the battlefield. I really hated the fight and took the lead on that, which I'm supposed to hate more than anything else in the world. That and this, because the unseen voice forced me to. And when the battle was over, everyone praised her. It's a goddess of war. I lifted it up and festived it. She would have been perplexed, and might even have felt sorry for one of Lyohan"

Deep down, exhale. There was a mix of emotions that were neither mourning nor grieving.

"So I guess you accepted to be the center of Lyohan as a goddess of war... now that I think about it, I can only assume so"

"... I am"

Faria, staring into his grandfather's eyes, told him.

"I don't think so."

"Dear Faria?

"I pity the people of Lyohan, etc., never"

And my grandmother should never have thought of it that way either.

Otherwise, there was no way I could have continued my role as a goddess of war for decades.

It's not a lighter role than pity alone can carry on.
