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

"Surrender...?

"Is it true...?

"Then why did you turn the clock back or something?

It is only natural that Faria and Miliu and the others should wonder. If you mean to surrender, it would be extremely natural to think that it would not be necessary to bother to return time, etc., but that surrendering promptly on that occasion would not change anything. Setuna, however, listened to Mizgaris and understood that he had somehow returned time. The reason he put his time back. That's probably it.

"... to surrender, I suppose"

"To?"

Setuna spoke out feeling half admiring a man who was not a loser, but rather nestled like a winner.

"You turned back time just to surrender... to restore the lives of those who died in that battle, didn't you?

"That's right. I will not allow you to die in vain. Unbeneficial battle, unacknowledged waste of life. All lives that can be saved must be saved. That is the service of the Emperor Zaion. I guess so. Surrender. Then what happens to the lives lost for that matter? Everything just goes to waste as it is. Did this battle for the Empire mean anything to you? Yes, you do. You know that best."

Seeking Mizgaris' consent, Setuna nodded quietly. I have to fully agree with what he said. There was no point in this battle in the Empire. The results were clear from the beginning. With roughly 10,000 troops left in the Imperial capital, it was best to stop the Setsunas slightly, making it impossible to destroy them. If all of that 10,000 were armed summoners, it would have been different, but none of that could have happened. Because if all those armed summoners were in the Eastern Empire, they would not exist from the edges, such as equilibrium with the Western Empire, and the Western Empire could not even survive due to a succession of overwhelming victories of the Eastern Empire.

But not in reality. The Western Empire continued to survive and was able to build equilibrium with the Eastern Empire. That is because, in other words, there was no great difference between force and power, and it was antagonistic. The total force battle began. If so, the defensive forces left in the Imperial Capital are known. The only thing that would have been Hasline's ability to participate in forced combat if there had been a miscalculation on the Setunas, but what had to be killed by that ability must have been that the time had gone back to not dying. Otherwise, there's no point in turning back time.

The battle didn't happen.

The Empire only saw the Setunas descend, and nothing else changed.

"Oh. You're absolutely right. Wouldn't you?

When Setuna asked everyone to agree, after a lot of silence, Faria nodded first.

"... well, yeah. It didn't make any sense."

"Miscellaneous opponents don't even make it into a prep movement."

"I learned how to add and subtract!

"Finally."

When Sheila poisons, Esq flashed, but after such an exchange between the two, Rem and Elina smile face-to-face. Even such a sight can be said to be due to the return of time and the decision not to make all the sacrifices. Even if we could have surrendered the Emperor as it was, there must have been something left with some bad aftertaste. Regardless, that was something we had no choice about, and everyone understands that, if we could avoid it, every single thing we wanted to avoid. to minimize damage to the East and West Imperial Army. That was one of the goals imposed on the Setunas. From the total strength of the East and West Empires, it's only about 5,000. Nevertheless, five thousand are five thousand. I had never been able to save him, and Mizgaris must have made time go back because of that.

And Setuna's review of Mizgaris was where he made the decision to return time only for the lives of five thousand generals, and yet, did not go on to rematch there. Normally, if the time is back and the power is back, it would be to try to reassemble and retry the tactics. Defeat, for example, is not so easily acknowledged. Especially he has a position. As the emperor of the Eastern Empire, it has been nearly two and a half years since the Great Destruction, ruling the eastern half of the southern continent and rivaling the west. We've done everything we can to win the West. We're going to let that go with the defeat of this first battle, so we can't do anything half-baked, such as admit it.

Of course, the calmer you think about it, the more obviously you have no winning eye on the Mizgaris side. You can imagine that there is nothing you can do about bringing together all the forces left over from the Empire. If we were to beat the Setunas, there was nothing but concentrating all the power of the Eastern Empire on one point, and that was impossible. I can't physically recall all the power I put on the front line in an instant.

Perhaps that would also have been possible if we had maximized the ability of the subpoena armies to freely transfer the forces of war throughout the Empire, but at least, not unlimited and near impossible in human spiritual power. Given the depletion caused by the ability to return time, I can imagine that it is all the more impossible. And in the first place, if that were possible, the Eastern Imperial Army would have won more than once by a single concentration of force, without which it is believed that the scope of effect of said summoning armed forces would be about the entire imperial capital or a little wider than that.

This meant that we could not add more Empire's power than that, and that we had no chance of challenging a rematch and seizing victory.

It's the same thing, even if you've been putting in Hasline's ability to subpoena the armed from the beginning. Rather, it could have been a more favourable condition for the Setunas, as they would be targeting Hasline destruction as a top priority.

You can tell by the confident look on Mizgaris's face that it would be a surrender after even thinking about that. He has no dust doubts about this declaration of surrender either. Completely indispensable surrender. That is why he behaves like a winner rather than a loser.

Setuna didn't think that if you were a loser, you could act like a loser, etc. Rather, isn't that grandeur worthy of the last role of what you named emperor?

"Nevertheless, at this moment I am not an emperor, but a rebel who has deceived the emperor… but I have no choice. This is no good for losers."

That being said, he was there, in the attitude of the Arrogant Shore itself, and Setsuna shook her head about to feel somewhat more like a loser to herself.

It was definitely ourselves who won.

The Emperor acknowledged the defeat of the Eastern Empire and declared his surrender. That was an indisputable fact and a clarification of the victory of the Setunas. It was something to rejoice about. That, too, is honestly delightful because of the fact that we were not to have killed the soldiers. In Imperial Capital, there was no battle. Near the bloodless opening of the castle, the Empire fell into the hands of the Western Empire.

The Emperor's declaration of surrender will soon echo across the southern continent and shock the people of the East and West Empires. Many of the Eastern Empire subjects may rebel, and not many of them are appeased. The Setunas are also well aware of the story that just because you are a citizen of the Eastern Empire does not necessarily mean that you support Mizgaris from the bottom of your heart. Since Mizgaris came under that force as soon as possible to suppress the Empire, name the Emperor and embark on the re-establishment of order, he only became a national of the Eastern Empire, which meant that when the Western Empire was erected, there were many of them who flowed into the Western Empire. Because the western emperor Niewehein had been named his successor by his predecessor Siwelhein by name, and that fact was widely known throughout the empire.

It is only natural that there are a number of the people who think that Niewehein, who named the Emperor as his rightful successor, deserves more than Mizgaris, who denounces the Emperor. And it was also logical that such ordinary citizens would have no power and, therefore, enjoy life as nationals of the Eastern Empire. It is not hard to imagine that such a single person would welcome with joy the declaration of surrender of Mizgaris, who would put an end to the battle of this East-West Empire.

The Southern Zaion continent will soon be united by the Western Empire, and many Eastern Empire subjects will embrace it.

The battle over the Empire ended with the victory of the Setunas.

If this news reaches every frontline in the middle of total force, the Western Imperial Army must hail victory and the Eastern Imperial Army surrender to each of them.

That is how the victory of the Western Empire becomes absolute.
