"Where are the commanders of the Imperial Army? Where are they?

Setuna approached the Imperial Army position with Sheila in her arms, asking aloud at the Imperial Army soldiers.

Just because the difference in force is historical doesn't mean you need to get out poorly. It's the difference in force that's overwhelmingly higher in the Imperial Army, but if it's the difference in power, it's not the story. Even if there are dozens of armed summoners in the Imperial Army, it has nothing to do with Setuna right now. At least, with the Imperial Army's power, it would be impossible to kill Setuna, as well as to hurt her. Even if you can't hold Sheila and use your arms in battle. It doesn't shackle anything.

The Imperial Army soldiers were in turmoil as Setuna stepped through the blank zone that had been created by the confrontation between the Imperial Army and the Provisional Government Army. He warns Setuna as he pushes his big shield forward and insists on vigilance. Countless archers withheld behind the shield are pointing their kill arrows at Setuna. As soon as there was a decree, he was ready to fire at any time.

"Wait! Stop! Oh, don't get any closer!

"Oh, yeah! Stop, don't move!

"Why not?

Setuna merely uttered a simple question, which the Imperial Army soldiers apparently took to provocation. One of the soldiers comes back high.

"If we approach any closer, we attack!

But Setuna did not stop approaching, and the Imperial Army soldier who saw it tried to wave down his raised hand. It would be for an attack order. but the hand stopped before it was swinging down. A soldier - perhaps the front-line trooper - stood behind him and quickly grabbed his wrist. The heavily dressed man made a peek into the soldier's face with his eyes as disastrous as a serpent.

"Who gave such an order?"

"The enemy ignored the warning..."

They say, "Who can attack?"

"Ko, this is Lord Colonel......!?

As the soldier freezes, he is still like a frog stared at by a snake, which further strengthens the impression of a snake-like man. The chilling plaque seemed to not think of one person, it was both inorganic and unusual. Long skinny. Though much taller than a front-line trooper and a soldier, a fleshless skinny would give the impression of a snake scorpion.

"We need to be surprised at what. I will be the commander of this legion. It is only natural for a commander to go out when negotiating."

"But..."

"Are you going to answer the commander?

"Yes, no..."

As the front-line trooper panicked and shook his head to the side, the commander and the man thought, his gaze turned to this side. Blunt brilliance is not what a soldier can hold.

"What. He's apparently not going to fight us. Negotiations seem to be what you want."

"Apparently, he's got a lot of ears, the commander over there."

Setuna narrowed her eyes by admitting to the Imperial Army Commander that this conversation was out of reach.

"You're also an armed summoner to your men."

"Well, I guess so"

Sheila must be right. It is not unlikely that the commander himself was an armed summoner, but he did not appear to be wearing a summoning weapon. A woman holding back on the enemy commander's side, apparently. A wand with a jewel wrapped around a circle around its tip is nothing but a summoning weapon, no matter where you look. There's no way a man can make a weapon like that. A woman with long clothes and a headscarf on her eyes like a wizard, her brown skin was hidden from view. I'm not sure about the expression. Put your gaze back on the man.

"Did you say colonel?"

"... the ranks of the Imperial Army, I'm not sure."

"Well, well."

Titles such as Colonel and Major were extremely unfamiliar substitutes for the central part of the small group of nations. Even in Gandhia, I've never heard of you. I'm glad Gandhia, in particular, called it a huge mess of extremes when it comes to class. General, Legion Leader, Captain, General. Regardless, there is a slightly more nuanced classification, but the more I understood, the simpler the structure of the countries in the small group of countries.

In that regard, even in the corner of the three major forces, they can't do that either. According to Rigford's story, the ranks of the Imperial Army are finely divided and there are eighteen ranks in all, from the lowest Private to the Supreme Commander, the archdeacon.

The Colonel, above the Lieutenant Colonel, is of the rank of Major General, and may be called superior. Although it is uncertain whether it is the best rank to command twenty thousand men stationed in Kruselk.

"Is it true that your lord is with the representative of the interim government of Longfu?

"Oh. The Provisional Government has delegated me full powers regarding negotiations with the Imperial Army"

That's not a lie or anything. Setuna had been entrusted by Gracia, a representative of the provisional government, not only with regard to Kyouo, but also to his response to the Imperial Army. I don't know about leaving it to Setuna, who has no political capacity, but I guess it is the current situation of the provisional government that there are no other people besides Setuna who can deal with the imperial army. So Setsuna was going to fly to Kruselk as soon as she could convince Nine Tails to release Sheila. Regardless, it wasn't alone then, and the Phalia and the others were supposed to accompany them, but unfortunately it didn't. Whether you're there or not, it doesn't affect a lot of people, but I know that a retarded Setuna alone isn't the right place to negotiate. So I wanted Faria and the others to accompany me, but I had no choice but to do this.

If we do not negotiate here, we will allow the attack on Malware by the Imperial Army. In that case, Setuna cannot remain silent either. It has to be repelled, and it can't be repelled in a semi-productive way more than it looks like the Imperial Army is stuck in its wings. You could bleed for no reason.

"Negotiation? I really didn't know you were going to negotiate with us. Much... underestimated."

And it was on Setuna's chest that the man gave me a glimpse. Setuna understood, at that moment, his gaze and intent to speak. It must have been about Sheila.

"... oh, this. Never mind about this. There are circumstances."

"I recognize that, too. I just don't care."

I understood his statement well enough, too, but it was the way it was said that I didn't care for Setuna. It's also kind of pathetic that Sheila has a troubled look on her face. Sheila's just caught up in Setuna.

"It's the same here that you don't care. Let's be friends with each other, with each other who doesn't care."

"Hmm... you're not being polite"

"Courtesy? Have you ever stepped foot in a man's land and spoken of the kind of people who are roughing it up"

When Setuna said it out sharply, I just found the other guy to be just as glamorous. Soldiers and armed summoners around them react slightly. There were too many thorns in Setuna's words. Sheila whispers.

"Oh, hey, Setuna"

"What the fuck?"

"I thought you were here to negotiate. What do you want me to do, sell you a fight?"

"I'm not going to sell you a fight. Sometimes I just have to say. It is true that they ravaged Kruselk. How many died for that?"

In the final war, Gandia had to be unilaterally ravaged. Beginning with the Kruselk side, every region was crushed by the overwhelming quantity and absolute military power of the three forces. There was no point in resisting or anything. Numbers of violence. Irrational. So how much blood was shed in Kruselk? How much blood flowed throughout Gandhia and how many deaths were full? Just thinking makes my heart tremble.

There is also a contract with the Western Zaion Empire, something that we have not tried to think about as much as possible. I should have pretended not to see it and eliminated it from my thoughts. Strange obsession leaves a disturbing shadow on the contract. But if you see and hear the words and deeds of an arrogant Imperial Army commander, you will come back to what Setsuna had in mind and blow away.

"Well...... yes"

Sheila looked like a bum. Maybe he cares that he couldn't get around to the Kruselk side. That's not what I'm saying, and when Setuna tried, the commander of the Imperial Army opened his mouth arrogantly.

"Ku... Ku Ha, your lord, you have a lot of bad negotiations. Isn't that like provoking us?"

"Well... at any rate, I wish you would attack me with or without me."

"Well... so what is negotiation?

I am heartily dismayed by the fact that some unfortunate feeling is being created along with appeasement when I see an Imperial Army commander take control of his men who expose their anger with his hands. My contradictory feelings about wanting to blow up the Imperial soldier in front of me, loathing to kill, are all too black and fierce. Exhale deeply and shake your head. You have to calm down, you have to.

I have no interest in fighting with the Imperial Army here. Just because we completely eliminated the Imperial Army from the land would be just solitary satisfaction, such as what we get. No, whether it's something that even gets you satisfied.

I just killed all the weak ones, and they're just vain.

I know that by now.

So Setsuna hates killers. I killed him too much. Too many lives were taken.

"... but I really don't want to bleed in vain, mine. I'll swallow the grudge against the Imperial Army now. It doesn't clear my grudges that I killed you all."

"I hope you can destroy more than 20,000 of us in your hands."

"I can."

Setsuna gave me a quick cut. It was just such an attitude as bold invincibility and arrogant shores, but I don't even care. But there's no way 20,000 people can stop Setsuna.

"You forgot to tell me. My name is Setsuna Zenon-Kamiya. I am the summoner of the court of the Kingdom of Gandhia."

"... that your lord is that Setuna Zenon-Kamiya"

An Imperial Army commander dyed the original blue face even deeper.

Apparently, he knew Setuna very well.
