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

Episode Two Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-three: Northern Front (VI)

Back in time.

From the deck of the Wolknakt, Setuna was looking down under her eyes.

Setuna's aim is to secure the Lazen-Urknacto and its subsequent recapture of Niaferou. Whether Larsen-Wulknactt was an esc-soma or not, he thought he needed to secure it first and listen. Only the pattern that generates the blade of light. Summoning armed is Esq's favorite sword caine, no matter what you think, because even if Larsen wasn't Esq himself, he seemed to have some involvement.

Most of all, it doesn't actually involve anything, maybe it's just something I picked up.

Even so, I need to know where I picked up Swordcaine. Not all of us have the possibility that Esq is alive and wandering near it.

Of course, the most likely thing is that Larsen is the pseudonym of Esq himself.

To be sure, Setuna was to take part in Operation Nearfellow Recapture, and the Ark, with Setuna and the others on board, was on its way to Nearfellow.

At the same time, an attack on the eastern empire of Niazuki is planned to begin, with the Phalia and the others on their way. Setuna and the Ulknakt quickly head to Niazuki after bringing down the battle troops led by Sir Kenbu Charlotte-Morgana. As for Niadar, the idea was that after the Niaferow, Niazuki recapture, we should turn our forces around sparingly. Because the power ratio in Niadar is more in the Western Empire, and unless there is much left to lose.

For starters, you just have to focus all your efforts on recapturing Nearfellow, Nearzooki.

And in doing so, Setuna was going to make contact with Lazen-Urknacto and reveal who he was.

To that end, he looked down far above the armies deployed in the western area of Neaferow and wrapped his tongue around the number of soldiers used in its defensive nearby formation. After all, the mobilization of troops of the Great Empire, named as one of the three main forces, cannot be compared to the countries of the small group of nations, even if their territory falls below half. It's inconceivable for countries in a small group of countries, such as the ability to allocate 10,000 troops to the defense of a single city.

Even at the height of Gandhia, it was important to move all that power, and there was nothing like that unless there was a war. Of course, at present, we know that the Western and Eastern Empires are in a state of war and that the Eastern Empires are putting unprecedented effort into removing their previous adhesive state.

But we also need the force to defend the vast territory of the Eastern Empire, leaving behind the defensive force, and since we are able to mobilize a total of about 50,000 troops into this phase, it could only be considered overwhelming no matter how much we raise them.

The number of soldiers mobilized in one phase is different.

That's all the size of the battlefield, and even to the extent of the skirmishes, there will be a large number of injured, but they say they leave room for each other to be immense while continuing such skirmishes for more than a year.

(Was it about 400,000 total)

What Setuna crushed in her chest was the total strength of the Western Imperial Army. The total strength of the Army that the Western Imperial Army is currently able to mobilize is about 400,000, and the Eastern Empire holds the same level of generals. Both west and east, compared to the old imperial period, have only about a quarter of each territory. Nonetheless, the forces that could be mobilized were not even comparable to Gandia at its peak. If you bump from the front, there's a force difference to the point where you get kicked out without a pile.

Those two new empires don't bump into each other from the front because they don't fit in for it. Beyond naming each other the rightful successors to the Old Empire, the land subjects of both countries claim that they are all their own. The soldiers, the people, the houses, the land, the money, the resources, they all proclaim to be the property of their respective emperors. And for that matter, we have repeated skirmishes in advancing our armies into each other's territory, but we could not go into decisive action with each other.

If the two empires contend for the seat of ruler of the Southern Zaion continent and bump into each other with all their might, it will be an awesome war. In that case, there will be an unfortunate number of casualties at the skirmish, and the number of wounded will be enormous. That's not all. Citizens would also be caught in war, wounded, bled, or lost their lives. If order is disturbed and the hearts and minds of the people are desolate, it is no longer a place of war. Not to mention that if the Great War is aimed at the reunification of the southern continent, it can be the end unseen and the chaos extremes.

Therefore, neither the Western nor Eastern Empires could do more than skirmish on each other's borders. It was the rumored armed summoner Larsen-Wulknekt who broke that equilibrium.

The stone thrown by Razen-Urknakt became a ripple and spread within the territory of both empires, deflecting the popular hearts of both nations, arousing the generals or making them fight for fear.

Even though it was not in the hands of one Lazen-Wulknekt that the Eastern Empire was able to dominate the four cities, it was Lazen who first broke the equilibrium and motivated the Eastern Empire. If that Lazen can be defeated, will the General of the Eastern Imperial Army be depressed and even disinclined?

That's what Charlotte-Morgana had in mind.

So, she said she was going to take part in the Nearfellow attack from scratch and destroy it after nailing Larsen-Wulknect.

Charlotte's strength is the ink of a one-time contender, but there is no guarantee that she can beat Lazen-Urknacto. Because it is clear that Lazen-Urknacto has repelled several armed summoners on the northern front so far, and if he is Esq-Soma himself, he is stronger than he was two years ago.

For that reason, it must have been a good choice for Charlotte that Setuna was to hit Lazen-Urknacto from scratch. Sir Kenbu is an important position figure in the Western Empire: the proximity of the Emperor. If you only lose to Razen-Wulknacht, there must still be no such thing as being killed.

Setuna is different in that respect.

Even if Setuna is killed, the Western Empire has no pain whatsoever.

etc., and it was when I was looking down from the top of the slowly descending ark. Under his eyes, at the forefront of the enemy formation, the light blinked, and at the next moment, something grew at a tremendous rate. When he sees it like a single ray of light, Setsuna is jumping off the deck. The belt of light approaching the ark at high altitude looked familiar.

It is the blade of light of the Summoning Armed Sword Kane.

Setuna sprayed her mail-of-doer wings in the hollow as she blew out the blade of light with a "ray of destruction" illuminated from the tip of a black spear, descending to the ground with a sudden acceleration.

Forward, as roughly 10,000 troops took an interception stance, there was one man with the pattern of a sword without a body, standing far ahead of him.

Lazen-Urknacto.

As the information suggests, the long-sleeved man, wrapped in full body armor and hidden his face with a heavy helmet, had his black coat swept in the wind.

From the looks of it, if you don't know your face, you don't know who you are. There can be no such thing as the certainty that it is an esc-soma, Setuna admitted that her heart trembled with strange nostalgia at the signs emanating from the inside of its armor.

He's in there.

Be there, hostile to Setuna.

Signs emanating from the inside of that armor were filled with insane killings and blinding hostility.

No, actually, it was glowing.

His sword.
