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

Episode Two Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Four: Water Capital (1)

It was not until after noon, on the tenth day of June of the continental calendar, five hundred and sixty six, that the Urknacto reached a distance to view its next destination, Binozonkanan, and the Setunas were witnessing the sight of massive quantities of water filled with giant cracks that suddenly appeared on the deserted lands of the Southern Zaion continent, overlooking it from a distant height.

"Hey, that's more than I heard."

Miliu made sure to get himself out. From the window of the bow observation room, you can admire the view that extends beneath your eyes.

The Ark Urknacto basically travels far above, above the clouds. That is because one person on earth is unnoticed by other creatures, such as Imperial Demons, Divine Men, Divine Beasts, etc., to minimize the likelihood of being attacked. For this reason, it is not possible to kill time while enjoying the view flowing under your eyes during the journey to the destination, and only gather in the bow observation room when you arrive near the destination or when the distance traveled is short.

Under his eyes, the immense amount of water that suddenly emerged on the magnificent continent was still like a great river, and the surface of the water, reflecting the sunlight and glowing innumerably, even looked down from the sky as beautiful.

"True, it sounds like a big river!

"That was originally a valley, wasn't it?

Sheila looks suspicious following Elina raising her admiration. There was no reason for her to question it either. As far as we can tell, Binozon Canaan is a city built just in the narrow corner of the valley and shouldn't have been floating in the river. But what Setuna and the others are now looking down at is a city like an isolated island floating in the cramps of a great river, and things were strange when it came to being built within the valley.

"Yeah. They say it's true that Binozon Canaan is a city built in the narrows of the valley. According to the story of one of the Empires,"

Phalia was half frightened, and went.

"It was centuries-old emperors who saw and were impressed by the great Lexian valley known as the largest in the southern part of this Zaion continent as the“ Architectural Emperor ”Hyalhain Ragnas-Zaion. He was called the“ Architectural Emperor ”because he had built a variety of buildings and cities all over the Imperial Territory and was involved in the design itself, but what he created in the Great Lexian Valley was a city that floated in the narrow valley."

"To?"

"Of course, it's not really floating around. Between the great valleys, there was a plateau that existed as if it were the middle state of the great river. The Architecture Emperor laid eyes on it and embarked on the construction of a big city. Bridging east and west of the valley also meant easier access to land across the valley, but the construction of Binozon Canaan was largely due to the hobby of the Architectural Emperor."

"Well... an emperor is a very different scale of thought."

Sheila sighs sarcasm or whatever.

It is only natural that I would also like to receive sarcasm if I saw the current state of Binozon Canaan. Binozoncanan was created in the narrow canyon, so it was about to be drunk by a huge amount of water flowing in from upstream. Although they didn't actually only drink it, the situation is, it's close to the worst.

"In the first place, why did this happen?

"Originally, the Lexia Valley was home to countless rivers from the mountains to the north. As it was, it was in its original form that it flowed into the sea far south. Still, it shouldn't have overflowed. So they were building embankments in the mountains of the north, and adjusting the amount of water flowing into them."

You mean they smashed that embankment?

"I don't think that's all. If that were enough to overflow, the water damage before the embankment was built would have been terrible. But they don't have records like that."

"So you're breaking the embankment in the north and stopping the flow of water in the south."

"That sort of thing"

"And as a result, the water stays, keeps growing, and it's still flooding."

"Well, the amount of water seems to be adjusting because I have trouble overflowing the river water from the valley..."

Nevertheless, the big city of Binozon Canaan, which only appears to be floating in the middle of the Great River, if left alone, will run out of food and bottom, and any other way to help, besides surrendering to the Eastern Empire. But Mills-Zaion, viceroy of the Southern Wars Regiment of the Western Imperial Army that he is in Binozon Canaan, even hates the Eastern Empire's nicknamed emperor Mizgaris, and it was the view of the Niewehains Western Imperial Heads that he would never take the initiative to get down. Therefore it will hold up for a while, and in the meantime I was hoping that the Setunas would calm down the north and return to the Empire City, just in time for the Setunas to return to the Empire City.

If you look out over the valley, you can see the sight of a frivolous army unfolding in what should be called the west and east shores. Deploying on the western shore are, of course, the forces of the Western Imperial Army Southern Wars Regiment, those who found out that Binozon Canaan was in a water attack, sending a rescue request to the Imperial Capital as well as rallying their forces. The armies of black armor seemed solemnly but beginning to show impatience.

The eastern side is an army of the Eastern Imperial Army, regardless. The great army was also a great army, in the midst of forming a position in a vast area. It is easy to imagine that after attacking Binozon Canaan in the water, he began to build his position slowly. The enemy Western commander is inside Binozon Canaan. It may be extra painful to start creating a position before you bite your teeth and regret it. From the positions of the Eastern Imperial Army, room was felt. If you try East Army, you just have to wait until Binozon Canaan turns up the sound, and in the meantime, you just have to keep an eye on Binozon Canaan. Regardless, they will relentlessly attack anything that tries to escape Binozon Canaan or communicate with the outside world, and several armed summoners must be on the alert for that.

The Empire has a large number of armed summoners.

There are numerous armed summoners on every battlefield. And that's the biggest obstacle to the Setunas. Knocking it down is never difficult. Setsuna has gained more experience in action than the armed summoners of the Empire, and it is the Setsuna who have accumulated even overwhelming workouts. In a half-breed armed summoner, you can't be fat. Setuna and others in particular will be able to handle it without any problem no matter how many armed summoners they may be dealing with. I'm sure. Regardless, depending on the ability of the subpoena armies, even Setuna will sometimes be forced to struggle, but that is why Setuna's leeway will not waver.

The problem, therefore, is not defeating it.

Because it becomes important to keep them alive and capture them, not to defeat them, to kill them.

The Western Empire is not the end of defeating the Eastern Empire.

The Western Empire has its main focus on swallowing the Eastern Empire and stabilizing the Southern Zaion continent. It was only in order to unite the southern continent, bring true peace to the subjects of the Empire and reassure the hearts and minds of the people that Niewehein rose. To do this, it was logical to want to bring to life the armed summoners, who, though once turned to their enemies, were human beings of the same Zion Empire and, after the war, would be the power of a united empire.

Neither does Niewehein understand as much as that makes it difficult for the Setunas to carry out their mission. Therefore, even though I have communicated my request to do so as much as possible, even as a setuna, I wanted to fulfill Niewehein's intentions wherever possible. If you think about post-war empires, the less blood you shed in this battle, the better.

If we end up with a massive flow of blood in the battle between the West and East, we will remain a cause of hatred, and after the war we may be pulling the feet of the Kneeweheins, who will be required to build a prompt order.

If there's no blood, there's less remorse to be had.

So the Setunas also had to figure out how to win the Eastern Empire generals without killing them as much as possible.

Even in this Binozon Canaan rescue fight, yes.

How to defeat the Eastern Imperial Army without bleeding, which is beginning to build vast positions on the opposite shore, all of which became the contention of the Setuna and their meeting.
