Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Mr. Torrell and the others also went out to two towns, but they still don't seem to come after us beyond the northern village of Artem.

"Could it be the same thing when you go to Wangdu?

"No, Wang Du would be garrisoning one battalion-sized force. I'm sure the towns and villages are just sending two detachments of security forces from the fort."

Even when it comes to policing, it is a place of stress for the soldiers stationed in the Kingdom of Cardina. You must have come scattered all those troops.

It must be time for the other side to hit some kind of hand...

One of those days. A guest arrived at Fort Aldes.

The news didn't come from the sentinel, it came from the wolf's nest hole, but a merchant close to Mr. Lady seems to have brought it from the side of the Kingdom of Madenium.

The person who came was three clerics. Is it because they're all women that we're supposed to call female officers?

I feel sorry that the heavily armed infantry has spent more than half a day walking as an escort.

When the three of them took the headscarf of a deeply worn cape, the princess took a seat with a surprised look on her face. In the back seat, Mr. Marian opens his eyes and tries to pray.

"To Aunt Emilda, isn't it Sister Fina! Good luck and safe…………"

"I was surprised to go into the hall, too. That's Lord Zairas. I didn't know you were building a new Knights to protect Sadie..."

The princess is taking a seat and letting her make three seats next to her right.

I said aunt and sister, but it would be better to check the relationship with the princess. The other woman would be like a samurai looking after two people around her because she moved the chair and sat behind them.

"Again, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Emilda and I have been appointed cleric with the Order of the Diocese of Ardennes. The great clerics seem to have taken into account that I am from the Kingdom of Cardina. At the time of the invasion of the Madenian kingdom, I made a priest of Fina, who was visiting me, so there were two seconded priests and three priestly tours combined."

The princess introduces each and every one of us to the table.

I also took a seat and kept my head down gently.

It's such a waste of beauty to keep him a cleric, but unfortunately, he'll be over thirty, so he doesn't seem to have much to do with me. Fine and his introduced daughter will be over twenty at the same time. Even apprenticeships seem older than me.

The problem is with Emilda and the others, isn't it? There are no temples or churches here.

"By the way, where can I find the cathedral?

Mr. Fina asked the princess. Ugh, he turns his gaze on me while he's stuck. Answer me.

He has funny eyes, Mr. Emilda is looking at me, and Mr. Zairas and his knights are looking anxiously at me.

"Please be aware that respectful language is not used well. I will be the one who formed and named the Knights. As you know, the Kingdom of Cardina has been annihilated by the invasion of its neighbour, the Kingdom of Madenium. We rounded up the knights and soldiers who could barely evacuate the battle to become the Knights. The leader of the regiment will be Mr Zairas.

In question, the name of the Knights of the Basilica of Ardennes used the name of the Great Mountains, which soars to the north. Sometimes it is said that its size is like a diocese watching over us, depending on how dare you put the diocese on the head of the Knights.

I delivered a letter to the church apologizing for having attached the diocese without the permission of the church, but the letter was addressed to the Knights of the Diocese of Ardennes, so I believe it was tacitly accepted. "

Mr. Fina, who asked the question, looked frightened and opened his mouth with a pocan.

But Mr. Emilda is smiling at me.

"Well, what about the quarters we live in?

"I will prepare it for this fort. I will make two rooms available, so please live with it"

I have a princess talking to Marianne in private in my words. She seems to be checking to see if she can offer us two rooms.

"It will be a greater diocese than the temple of the congregation."

Mr. Emilda said to me without breaking his smile.

But Mr. Fina has a tough eye on me.

"You lied to the Order! It's not allowed to fool the denomination."

"No, I'm not going to fool you. Are you going to express our feelings?

Saying so, I drink the tea Mu brought to everyone.

If you can afford it, you'll think that word has no lies. In a way, it's a deception.

"I didn't know you likened the mountain range to a cathedral......, I read it once in the classics." … The cathedral that rises before me rises high in the sky, and you cannot see the left and right galaxies at a glance. I set foot in the cathedral, searching for the mark of God… '. When I was a girl, I didn't know what that cathedral meant, and when I joined the church, an old cleric finally told me that it was the Ardennes. "

"Even if I bring up such an old story……………"

"I came because I remembered that story. Who likens the mountains to a cathedral? And."

Although Mr. Feene seems to be unconvinced, Mr. Emilda seemed to know that the Ardenne Cathedral would be the Ardenne Mountains themselves.

That would mean that the denomination already knows what that means. Good, that's what gave me that return. That means you approved it.

"Dear Emilda, then where should we pray to God?

"Don't you get it yet? We're already inside the cathedral. The cathedral is the place where you can see the Ardennes. Pale ceilings in the sky and green carpets on the ground. There's a ridge in the mountains on the back wall, and God himself has carved out a harsh teaching that doesn't bring people in."

Sounds like something. I'm polytheistic because I'm typical Japanese. Because we think that God dwells in everything, we can be quite convinced of the mountain faith. But if you tell people in this world that the mountain range is a cathedral, that would be a rather heretical teaching.

Is it bitter that the Church dared to forgive the invasion of the Kingdom of Cardia in the Kingdom of Madenium?

"Sister, I hope you don't complain like that. It is the Knights of Ardennes themselves who are protecting us."

"That, too, is strange. I've never heard of a Knights like that. I've heard so much about Lord Zairas' martial arts, so it wouldn't be a rush to build a knighthood. But wouldn't that make you a Knights of Mercenaries?

Mr. Zairas is laughing bitterly at Mr. Fina's pursuit.

Maybe it's time to tell the truth.

"Sister. Actually..."

When the princess begins to talk about the assault on the Madenian kingdom and what has happened since, now she is listening with her eyes open.

Don't feel a little scared that Mr. Emilda is looking at me with a constant grin.

"Did you start a bandit!

"It's not outrageous! We're thieves."

I'm going with my chest up, but you're a bandit in the end, aren't you?

That said, if you kill one, you're a murderer, and if you kill a thousand, you're a hero, so maybe there's no difference between a bandit and a regular army.

"That's why Master Emilda, with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, tried to make his way to the Knights via the Kingdom of Madenium. You're supposed to be the easiest guard."

"But at the end of the day, we'll be interested in the country, because in the second year we had two forts and a village. There's got to be a little more territory."

"There, that's why I brought Fine in. I happened to stay in the church as a use from the Kingdom of Cardina, but I wouldn't even have a home to go home to. I heard that the nobility who lives in the Wang capital was solemnly honored. Is there no role for Fine behind the Knights?

Are you saying we're going back to the realm?

I'm still young, so that must be one of my choices...

"Hmm...... They were trying to protect the nobleman's children from being carried as slaves, but they wanted to be our civil servants. I was worried about all the young people, but if I had a sister, I'd feel safe."

"Fine. Help the princess here. I'm going to live as a nominal cleric. There will also be prayers to God for the life of the Knights and the inhabitants. If I can get a private room, I'll be based there."

"But..."

Mr. Fine turns to Mr. Emilda and looks at his face.

Eventually, he nodded small. After all, I guess he thought living as a cleric was not appropriate for his character.

But now I'm in good shape as a Cathedral Knights. Besides, in Marian's story, Mr. Fine seems to be a rare talented woman among the noble offspring. I can now entrust you with the management of your finances.

Nevertheless, Mr. Zairas and the others built a prayer hall on the corner of the fort about twice the size of a classroom, but the place is a former stable, isn't it?

When I say it's a pretty big place in the back facing north, it looks like there was only a horse cabin.

It's a bit of a horse-smelling place, but Emilda put it on the north side of the chapel without complaining about it, on a platform with a symbolic statue that resembles the mark ''.

A statue made of bronze, less than 30 cm high, but I guess that's the symbol of the Order.

Three prayer times a day are joined at any given time by more than ten knights or peasants who have listened and come.

Looks like you were a people of faith.

"Don't banters pray?

"There are so many gods I believe in that I pray for them sometimes. It's not like you don't believe in God."

You wouldn't understand if we talked about it like that.

The Japanese view of religion has changed considerably.

Mr. Fine seems to be investigating our assets with his former noble brothers. I don't think there are any financial problems because there are troops bandits in the streets...
