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

Episode Two Thousand Four Hundred Ninety: Prince of the Sea (1)

"Why?"

Setuna asked with the thought of throwing up blood reflexes, staring at the appearance of a deformity that left little shadow of Rigford either.

"How can you laugh like that?"

When you say you're dead, why, can you stay like that? How can you smile when you say you've lost your life? What makes you so proud to say that you lost everything, but rather happy about it?

"He's dead."

"Are you..."

Rigford laid his eyes down slightly. Like trouble. Or with a softness that makes kids squeeze wastes away.

"Lord Setsuna, you seem so sweet."

"Kind? Me?

For some reason, he wanted to scream. If they were kind, if they could have considered them at all, wouldn't they, the sailors of the Melissa Noah, have lost their lives? At least, even if you encountered the Ark of the Nea Gandia Army, you could have protected the lives of the sailors. If it was just the sailors, we could have transferred them to the Wolknakt. And then I realize. I wondered why you didn't do that from the start.

The number of crew members on the Melissa Noah is known. With the power of the Mayuri God, it is not impossible to carry up to 10,000 people aboard the Urknakt. As much as I could afford to carry all the crew on the Melissa Noah. No, I know. If Navy Admiral Rigford couldn't have made the choice to let go of the Melissa Noah, he didn't have the choice to leave it there. There's no way an Imperial Navy general, starting with Rigford, would let go of a demonic ship that should also be an important secret of the Empire.

I know that.

"You must be feeling responsible for our death. It's not your fault at all, and it's not like you made a mistake or made a mistake."

"But"

"But? But what? At that time, when we promised to reunite on the mainland of the Empire, there was nothing you could have done to us. We had to return to His Majesty with the Melissa Noah. Hang on to the pride of the Western Zaion Empire Naval General. There is no way I can leave a ship I have left behind more than His Majesty. So then you can say that you did the best we could."

Rigford was pointing a soft knob at us. As I forgive Setuna's heart, as I mercy her.

"Did you come aboard that ship and head to the mainland of the Empire?

"... Yep. General Rigford. I have fulfilled the promise I made with you and His Excellency the Great Governor."

"Hmm......!

He didn't seem to anticipate all that.

"I mean, you can think of that as a successful overthrow of the East, right?

"Yes."

Setsuna, serving and making a smile, affirmed. For Rigford, I haven't had a happier report. Setsuna could do as much as the consideration that it would not be good with a dark face to let her know the details. Inside, there are many things to think about, but only the fact that I fulfilled my promise to him should be communicated with a strained chest.

Setuna and the others were active, and the Eastern Empire was defeated and the Western Empire won. Rigford broke up his rapport when he told him that the ambitions of the Imperial Mizgaris had been crushed and that the Southern Zaion continent had been united in the name of the Emperor Niewehein Leighnas-Zaion and that a united empire had been established. There will be joy in the appearance of the white alien, and it will be that we can see how much he has been waiting for the report. The overthrow of the Eastern Empire and the reunification of the continent by Niewehein were a memorial and a grief for him.

That finally came true.

"So our death was not in vain."

"How does that happen?"

"That would be so. Because we did not do anything to pull the feet of Lord Setuna and all of you, there was a prompt overthrow of the Eastern Empire. If you think of it as a sacrifice, if you think of it as a price, it's cheap."

Rigford narrowed his eyes proudly, but Setsuna couldn't have been more convinced. I know what you want. Every sacrifice is a sacrifice, and there are convenient stories about winning without sacrificing anything. I don't know, I need a price.

Whatever.

It takes a variety of sacrifices for humans to just live. Winning the battle means more than just living, and the sacrifices to be made for it have to get bigger.

There have been very few sacrifices in the East-West conflict since Setuna Line joined the war. That would be an unthinkable number of casualties of war. The unparalleled small number of victims in history may be called into question in later life. After so many great victories, the imperial capital, Zaius, turned out to be a bloodless opening. Whatever you are, it's just a theory of results, but in any case, it's been recorded as a fact that there were fewer victims.

Even with that in mind, I have to shake my head sideways when it comes to convincing the Rigfords of their death.

"It's not just Lord Setuna, it's all of you, but nothing makes you sick. Consider that our death was a necessary sacrifice for the victory of the Western Empire."

"Dear Rigford..."

"It'd be easier if I could break it off like that."

"Let's split up. It's already done. And we have gained new strength. With this power, I also obtained forgiveness to help His Majesty. Nothing. Isn't that right?

Rigford laughed softly, but Setuna, as he said, could not be broken. That's because of the fact that Rigford lost his life where it had nothing to do with Setuna's will.

For example. If you took a life of your own free will, the story would be different. Setuna has taken countless lives so far. Thousands or tens of thousands of lives have been screwed down with overwhelming force until irrational, building up victories. For that matter, it can be considered separately. Because that is what I have done by my own will, after having been commanded. Convincing. But my heart gets heavy as soon as I think that there is something that has lost my life where it has nothing to do with my will, and maybe I could have saved it.

I know what Rigford's trying to say, and I understand that we should cut it off.

Still, he thinks.

"Speaking of which, you hadn't named him yet"

He put his big hand on his chest. Flesh covered in an outer shell like white armor doesn't resemble Rigford when he was a human. In its unusual appearance, after all, there seemed to be a newly given name. As the lions of Nair Gandia have named themselves by a different name from their lifetime, yes.

Perhaps the lions too must have been given their name by what reincarnated Mizu.

"My name is Sagmaw. It's a name given by Master Mauau, but he says it means Prince of the Sea, which would be strange."

"Yes?"

"A prince, etc., and not a name to be given to this old man."

"Ha..."

Rem uttered a thoughtless word like he had trouble responding. It looked like he couldn't keep up with his cheerfulness, but Rigford, Sagmaw, doesn't even seem to care.

"And this is Tazmaw. They say it means sea shaking cages. Well, you wouldn't know it, but it's a rebuilt vehicle based on the remains of the Melissa Noah."

Apparently named Tasmau, the white giant object raised its alien body at sea in response to his words.

streamlined giant reminiscent of the white whale was as if alive
