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

July 28, 5006, continental calendar.

The Western Zaion Empire, as planned, launched a total offensive against Eastern Empire territory with all forces.

They attacked from the Western Imperial Army on all fronts, from the north to the south. That, too, was the first enrichment of war at a glance that it was not the usual skirmish, leading to countless war-terms opening up in various parts of the country along the border stretching vertically from north to south.

But when it came to whether the West would achieve an overwhelming victory through the simultaneous putting of a great deal of power, that could not be the case.

Because the East, which sensed the movement of the West, also deployed its forces everywhere by means of a tremendous speed of reaction, in response to the total attack of the Western Imperial Army.

Respond to total attacks with total attacks.

That means, that is, the start of a major showdown between the East and West Empires.

Both the East and West armies deployed all their forces at the forefront, creating countless battlefields and repeated clashes to the harsh, everywhere along the border from the north to the south. Hundreds of thousands of generals from each of the two armies deploy along the border, clashing near the border at the same time as the war begins. Mutual dominance is still an armed summoner, but armed summoners often end up in battles between armed summoners and are unlikely to be what determines victory or defeat. More importantly, the number of troops put in is enormous. Not enough for one of the two armed summoners to change the circumstances of the war.

Regardless, more than two thousand armed summoners from each other or close to each other have been distributed across battlefields, but still, a number of generals are moving far beyond that.

Together, the two armies had nearly a million generals filling along the northern to southern borders.

Ellix-Zaion, Governor of the Northern Wars Regiment, departing from Divnor, the largest city in the northern part of the Western Zaion Empire, was behind the front lines and in command.

It is the opinion of those around him that we should sit back on the Governor and wield extraction, and he thinks it is best. In fact, it's not a very good idea for him to be on the front line, even with the general on the northern front. If the General were to discuss it, it would be a myriad stories in the past and now that a large number of people in that battlefield would make up their minds at that moment. Experience in action was the lesser elixir, but I have some knowledge of the ancient and present history of war in small groups of nations, from which I have learned many things. He therefore also lent his ear to the surrounding opinion that there should be plenty of generals in the rear.

He was also well aware, however, that this battle could not be that way.

This battle is also supposed to be the final battle for the survival of the Western Zaion Empire, and if any battlefield built along the border from north to south is defeated and the East Army falls into an avalanche from there, there can be defeat of the Western Empire.

The Western Empire was throwing all its power into this battle. I keep my guards out of sight and concentrate all my forces only on attack. What does that mean? If the formation of the attack is breached and pulled out, the weakness will be exposed as soon as possible. It means they could even attack the Imperial City. And if the Empire falls, this one loses. In the imperial capital there is the emperor Niewehein Leighnas-Zaion. He's an armed summoner. I wouldn't die for something semi-productive, but a lot of them are passive. If you push a lot of enemy forces, you can kill them.

That's why we can't be pulled out by the East Army on any battlefield.

So what should we do with the Northern General?

The answer is one.

Going to the front line and encouraging the arousal of the generals fighting on the front line was the only thing a person in a position like him could do.

Exactly. I don't do anything to get out of the Governor's office to the front line and meet with enemy soldiers. If we do that, as soon as possible, the enemy's armed summoner will target us and we could lose our lives. That's the good thing about lethargy, too.

(I can't repeat a lapse like that)

Eriks felt responsible for the East Army's domination of four cities, including Niasaian, on the northern front. He has feelings of hatred for the Governor of the Northern Front, even if it is not an event for which his responsibilities extend. If, at that time, there was nothing like the Setuna line conferring on the Western Empire, there was no doubt that a huge wind hole had been drilled on the northern front by the eastern army, owned by Lazen-Ulknakt, which could have been pushed and wound by the eastern army as it were. It's not Elixir who doesn't feel responsible there.

There was, and he had to, get excited.

To take back the lapse is nothing but achieving results.

And the achievement in this battle was nothing but the maintenance of the front.

Victory comes second.

You don't even have to lose.

As long as we don't defeat and keep the front, the victory rolls in. That's the strategy. And he believes it. I just have to believe, and it's better to say.

More importantly, I was even tired of all the skirmishes with the East Army over the past two years.

He's not the only one.

Everyone was tired of skirmishes just to maintain equilibrium, no different from the East Army.

Both the Western and Eastern Zaion Empires, antagonizing each other in strength, in power, and without finding a decisive battle, continue to fight as if they were never tired of it, but if we tried to make it the generals on the front line, it was like they were leaping a never-ending ring dance song, which was coming in more with spiritual depletion than with physical fatigue. Although it puts less of a mental burden on soldiers on the front line by allowing them to take turns on a regular basis, there is nevertheless a limit.

We've been fighting for almost two years, irreplaceable.

That's not gonna change the outcome of the skirmish.

We have been forbidden to give each other all we can, we cannot win or defeat each other, we have repeatedly fought like a twisted, tame battle.

It's natural to get tired.

It goes without saying that it led to the great defeat of the Northern Front and the failure of the Southern Front, so we have to put an end to this never-ending roundabout as soon as possible.

Otherwise, we could end up committing the same kind of lapse as we did back in the day.

"What's the status of the war?

Ellix asked what was left and right as he looked to the other side for a battlefield that unfolded near the border, far east of Divnor and east of the small city of Noalan.

He hasn't come to the forefront. of the front line, staying rearward. I can't get too far out of this. In some cases, it was in such a position that the enemy armed summoner could be blinded, and the proximate crowd was always whimpering that one day they would be attacked. In fact, he was also war-torn on the inside, but this much fear could have been anything but thought of those fighting on the front lines.

Zaion's pride as a royal man is exciting him.

"As it stands, it looks like we're pushing it. After all, the fact that His Excellency the Governor came forward seems to lead to the General's excitement."

"You're in a good mood. It must be the General's struggle."

Elix appeased to the report, whilst telling him without bitterness.

Being on the front is not necessarily pointless.

There are several things that move a war situation.

One is the number of soldiers. Differences in troop strength and quantity are among the elements that drive the war situation significantly.

For one thing, power. The presence of a force that overshadows the difference in force also makes a difference in the war situation.

For one thing, morale. The mental state of the soldiers, he said, has a lot of impact on the war situation itself.

For example, if morale is low, defeating no matter how many soldiers you have outnumbered is a lot in history, and vice versa.

In other words, if your power is antagonistic, even more so, if you have higher morale, you win, and raising morale is what commanders do.

So how can we raise morale?

There will be many ways to do this, but the greatest method in the Empire will be for the royal family to go to war.

A clan of emperors in the Zaion Empire could have been called a clan of gods.

If those in such a position go all the way out to the battlefield and wave the extraction, both the general and the soldiers must be excited and exhausted.

What I learned from ancient and present history of war lives here.

Elix-Zaion, in such certainty, was excited about his predominance on the northernmost front.

The battle has just begun.

Don't be alarmed.
