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

Episode Two Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Nine: Urgent Report (3)

"It's a rare sword screen for Sir Kenbu."

When Setuna snapped, Niewehein was quickly wearing the mask he had placed on the table when he took it. Sometimes I'm wearing a bandage, and I shouldn't mind trying to wear a mask, but I guess I valued my majesty as an emperor. He turned out the door and told him sternly.

"Get in."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Charlotte, who quickly entered the office, also saluted Setuna deeply when she saluted Niewehein with a more demanding gesture than usual. Setuna is still an ally of the Emperor in the Empire, and therefore everyone has to treat him politely.

"What's going on?

"We have just received more surprising news than Noabourg. If you look through this report, you'll know more."

Reflect on unfamiliar geographical names as Charlotte watches him hand the letter to Niewehein.

"Noabur?"

"It's the northernmost city in the former Western Empire. No, even if I saw it as a united empire territory, it would hit the northernmost... what?"

"What's going on? What's going on?

I'm guessing he was in the process of reading the letter. With Niewehein's sudden and startling voice, Setuna realized that an emergency appeared to be happening in this country. For the most part, he was stunned to deal with it calmly, rather than surprised. It's not hard to imagine what would have happened. Also, Charlotte jumped into Niewehein's office, which in itself can be called an anomaly.

Kneewehein, having finished reading the letter, has stared straight at Setuna. The intensity of the gaze you pour from the other side of the mask is more than usual.

"Setuna. I'm sorry for the sudden, but will you fly the ship now?

"Are you in Noabourg?

"Oh."

"... ok"

When Setsuna undertook for no reason, he took Setsuna's hand in such a way that he was uncomfortable with the feeling. It's obvious from the way the two of you are that this is a matter of urgency. If so, I don't have to ask the circumstances. Whatever the circumstances, the idea is in him that Niewehein's reliance on Setsuna means that Setsuna and the others could do something about it. And the certainty that you will be able to live up to that expectation is in Setuna.

It's just, if there's anything to worry about, how much of a thing he's got to do. Noabourg said it was former Western Empire territory. It doesn't seem like an area where armed uprising by the resistance would occur. Regardless, it is possible that the resistance forces that were lying on the ground flowed to Noabourg and beeped up there, but apparently that is not the case. To the extent of the armed uprising of the resistance forces, Niewehein has not shown that much of a response.

"I'm sorry. I'm just counting on you..."

"Your Majesty the Emperor. There's nothing to apologize for."

"Setuna......"

"I'm lending you this. The more His Majesty does me a favor, the bigger the loan will be, the better."

"How serious are you..."

Kneewehein shook his head as if he were exhausted when he let go of Setuna's hand, which he was holding. Seeing his such reaction, Charlotte narrows her eyes.

"I mean it everywhere."

"... Not at all, you don't know very well sometimes"

"I don't know. They're swinging at me."

"Phew... well said"

"What the hell is going on?"

"It means you don't know the best."

"Ugh."

Badly, Setuna glanced at him. Niewehein was laughing in the back of his mask. There were signs of that, like I got myself back in an exchange with Setuna.

Setsuna, of course, didn't mean to make fun of him.

After hearing the details of the incident from both of them, Setsuna immediately contacted Mayuri, the goddess, from a bracelet-type communication device, informing all sailors to gather during the Great Light Palace White Ri. The Great Light Palace collectively refers to the northern part of the Temple of Heaven, the one where Setuna and the others are freed to stay. Between Baili, it was the largest hall of the Great Light Palace and the place to hit and attach to call and gather everyone.

And Setuna, who asked the Mayuri God to transfer him to the Ark where they were all aligned, just let the ship's needle cut northwest and set Noabur, a city northwest of the continent, as his destination.

Faria and the others had been forwarded to the Ark without even knowing what was going on, and had been informed only of their next destination without explaining the circumstances, something that had been under silent pressure, until Setuna explained, but he did not want to think it was inexcusable.

Things are the matter.

I wasted a lot of time explaining it, and I've decided to head to Noabourg anyway, so I thought I'd just explain it to you during the boat trip. As a result, I bought not only Milyu and Rem, but also Faria's unhappiness, which as a setuna is a good place to fail, but I can't help it.

Anyway, it's a waste of time.

I wanted to get to Noabourg fast, even minute by second, and I had to get there.

Otherwise, it will be irrevocable.

"Ahead, the next destination is Noabourg."

It was in the engine room that Setsuna opened her mouth to explain her purpose. When it comes to the engine room, it's only because you can use the projection light screen. The projection light curtain currently displays a map of the Southern Zaion continent, with coordinates of the city of Noabur in the northwest coast indicated as the light point.

Noabourg is arguably the northernmost city on the continent. The “Great Destruction” tore the continent apart, and the imperial territories were also torn to the north and south, so much so that if Noabourg's position had been even slightly north, it might have been caught in “Great Destruction” and the city itself would have been in two main pieces. As a result, it has become a seaside city and, in recent years, it is said, it is undergoing renovation to a port town.

"Also, the mission? Now what? Crusade of resistance forces? The annihilation of the Imperial Devil? Or..."

"Well, don't be angry."

It's been a long time since I've seen Miliu's obstinate face, but not if I'm flaunting her now. She swells her cheeks and eats down.

"I'm gonna be mad. For Setuna's sake..."

"Miliu"

It was Falia who issued the warning in a chilling word to Miliu. Setuna recognized it as a help ship by Faria,

"Ah... now, forget it"

"Hmm?"

"So why are we headed to Noabourg?"

"Oh...?

Apparently, Faria's warning to Miliu was that the content of Miliu's story was an issue, and that it was meant to keep Setuna from hearing what it was about. Though the content was a matter of concern, I decide from Faria's chilling stare at Milu and how Milu is wary of such Faria's reaction that it seems better not to go into too much depth. Because of Setsuna, I think it was something like that, but it wouldn't be too much to worry about.

I just received a rescue request from Noabur in Teito.

"Heh. Does that mean it's the Resistance after all?

"No, it's not"

"So, Imperial Demon?

"Or should I be Nair Gandia?

"If you're Nair Gandia, miss the Ark, Mayuri. Bye."

"That's right. So, what the hell...?

Looking around at her mouth, Setsuna opens her mouth.

"He said only one enemy existed to assault Noabur, disable Noabur's garrison, and subdue Noabur."

"Just one......?

"What is that, what do you mean?

"That enemy presence was no match for the armed summoners belonging to the Noabur garrison unit when they bundled up, and they also instantly destroyed and rendered powerless all their forces. That's how Noabourg was quickly suppressed and the enemy presence launched an attack from Noabourg on every city in the northwestern coastal region"

That was still a surprising story in Setuna, and it was natural for Charlotte and Niewehein to be stunned.

"You don't seem to be an armed summoner..."

"You mean a man like Zenelfer with God's blessing?

"I've thought about that possibility."

Hard to think of as an armed summoner, as Sheila denied. Because it's not easy for just an armed summoner to exert an overwhelming power over multiple armed summoners. Except, of course, if you are an extremely good armed summoner like Faria or Miliu, such an armed summoner is not what you are. Not all of them are possible, but they are, after all, hard to think about.

Also, a human being with God's blessing. It is possible, for example, that the Mayuri God will react in some way. Mayuri God is currently desperately exploring what humans with God's protection, like Zenelfer, are not lurking somewhere on the southern continent. Does it mean that it did not gain God's protection at a time when it was not caught up in its search network?

"The adversarial presence was dressed in the military uniform of the Zaion Imperial Army. But if it wasn't west or east, naturally, there wasn't a unified empire stamp on it."

Setuna told, thinking of the bittersweet reaction shown by Niewehein and Charlotte.

"Southern Zaion Great Empire," he said in the chapter.

This means that the northwestern coastal regions, including Noabourg, are currently exposed to invasions from the Southern Zaion continent.
