Black Summoner
Episode 131: Declaration of War
- The city and makeshift hall of Pars
Pards, who had been showing a lot of buzz over the course of the day, was also restoring calm by closing promotional ceremonies and other festivals. Heavy towns in various countries where visitors were visiting have also begun to arrive on their way home, and the number of tourists staying in Pars is gradually decreasing. In the meantime, a meeting had been held in a hidden room made even more underground and in secret in a room with a temporary hall where the promotion ceremony had taken place.
Do you agree with Lord Tsubaki?
"Uhm. Even my country, which was originally in trade, has been having constant troubles near the border lately. Trysen is a harsh land. I don't think we're stockpiling enough food without trade."
The Lord of the Voice is Leonhardt Gown, King of the Gown Nation Beast. And it was King Trage, Tubaki Fujiwara. The crystal used during the promotion ceremony is placed on the tabletop.
"Powerful monsters appear everywhere, and Tricen's suspicious moves… it's reasonable to assume that the Demon King was born in Tricen"
"Even as an Adventurer Guild, we believe that's most likely. Because Tricen also seems to be putting a lot of pressure on each guild branch in the country, limiting the movement of adventurers."
This is the witch of Delamis, Colette Delamirius and the guild rep. Rio. Colette, ostensibly, supposedly returned to Delamis at the Transition Gate, but was participating in another purpose currently taking place in this basement, a regular meeting between the three countries and the Alliance of Adventurers.
This meeting, which had been held uninterruptedly since we reached harmony during the Great War, should have been joined, if at all, by Trissen. But there is no shadow in that seat.
"Lord Zell stopped showing up at the meeting, and how long it would have been. I've been cautious for a long time, but I wouldn't have acted so foolishly. No matter how much armament you try to boost, it's a good place to recklessly deal with countries across the Eastern Continent."
"It is in the inheritance that those who become demon kings are stained with malice. Whether you are an intelligent monster or a man of mercy. Perhaps King Tricen..."
"I know. The scouts in our country have seen and heard such information. Lord Leonhardt, how dare you?
"There and there would have just been a noise from the black wind. Gowns have a lot of skirmishes with Trisen even if they don't. Well, that's what I'm staring at. Their behavior has been unusual these days. The inside of the elf was protected by Kelvin's work, but even today, as both my sons are on the border, the information drawn from the captured generals was all black stories. If we don't set it up soon, the damage will spread further everywhere. It is high time, even if we are allies who have made peace. There's no more time to wait for Zell to prove he's the Demon King."
………
There is no voice affirming Leonhardt's words. But there were no voices to deny the opposite. Representatives from all countries understand. That a time is approaching when we must wage war on the confrontation caused by the full-scale use of force.
"Assuming Lord Zell is the Demon King, he'll need the strength of a brave man. Lord Colette, where's Delamis' brave line?
"... in accordance with Lord Melfina's trust, we are now in the Western Continent"
"You think it's the Western Continent? It's gonna take too long to call him back!
"Either way, I won't call you back. In Delamis, the Divine Consort will never take action here until the brave find the meaning of this divine consort."
"But, O Witch Hall -"
"... wait"
Tsubaki blocks Leonhardt's words.
"I just got a letter from Tricen"
"What do you mean?
The rubbing sound of a piece of paper that crinkles more than a crystal. Tsubaki then leaked his sigh and opened his mouth in agony.
"Hmm, finally here... Lord Leonhardt, Lord Colette. Perhaps the same thing will reach your country."
"That's no way..."
Trisen's announcement of war.
- Tricen Capital
The capital of Trysen, the castle town of Trysen Castle, was a crowd of people. A moment ago all the people were summoned by the king through the soldiers. Dragon cavalry regiments swirl over the capital, and an alert system is laid. The people are tempted by the difference.
"Be quiet! From this, the great King Trysen will have your word! Be quiet!"
The top soldiers scream. The folks who overheard it become perfectly quiet as if they had shown each other, standing still in a Tricen-style salute posture. Even women, children and old men are not lost in the movement. Is it the fruit of education in a country that has stained its body and head from an early age?
It is the executives who hold the position of captain of the army and captain of the great battalion who snort to their satisfaction. Soon one of the executives will confirm that the popular convocation has been completed and send a signal to the castle.
King Trysen, Zell Trysen, who eventually shows up more than the terrace of the castle. Beside it is Stura Trysen, daughter and dark general, who refrains. Someone heard a goku and a saliva swallowing. In Trissen, the king is an absolute ruler, and if he works slight disrespect, there is no guarantee of life.
"Dear My people, a matter has arisen which must be communicated to everyone as soon as possible"
Every word Zell utters resonates with the hearts of the people. I'm not shouting. I'm not even using a magic item that diffuses my voice. That being the case, Zell's voice on the top floor of the castle had reached the entire capital. As if speaking directly to your heart.
"Yesterday, our country's proud General of the Magic Knights, Clive Terraze, was ambushed by the hand of the Beast Nation Gown and died in battle. General Clive is on sentinel duty, by the hands of a subhuman who is not a man! It is confirmed that the night after the monster crusade, they were attacked in the camp at a time of quiet sleep."
The public stuffs their breath at the announcement of the shock. Zell's tongue is legged with facts, but a people who knew nothing had no doubt about the king's words.
"Master Clive...? Lies, right?
"How hard..."
Naturally, no one knows the reality of Clive to the people. Because he is known to the world as a young, talented prince.
"Everyone understands anger very well. I, myself, am going to forget me with anger. We demanded that the mastermind be handed over to the gown, and we have repeatedly searched the way for a solution. But Leonhardt, king of beasts, did not try to cope. On the contrary, he went on an outrage to slaughter and abandon the messenger who sent him to negotiate! It is unforgivable to speak of Christophe, a Trysen hero, as a bandit, and still an unforgivable act, as is the trage, Delamis, that binds them today! Dear Nationals, what do we all think!?
"Damn, you cowardly bastards!
"Don't forgive the beasts of the gown!
"Delamis and Trage are equally guilty!
"Is it believable, such as a country that recognizes subhumans!
If one speaks of anger, it fishes him and the people spill their anger into his mouth. Zell controls the people with his hands and continues his tongue.
"Exactly. Patience and the fact that I can lose my temper when I get here. In the past, during the Great War, Trissen wanted human peace and made peace, but it was not complete. It is precisely now that we are coming at a time when we must take the path to true peace. We in Trissen have declared war on all nations and decided to move towards the rule of this entire continent!
A joyous voice of the soldiers, a people that roars across the capital. Stra was walking out into the castle unwittingly as the entire country began to wrap up different air. Zell's speech is still going on behind his back. My father's voice crossed my mind, and I couldn't possibly keep my sanity to the point that even I was about to believe that most of it was false.
(Could General Dan have given Renoir a letter?
Stra sent a letter to Renoir, who changed his name to Sylvia, leaving the matter to Dan, who he trusted most. The contents of the letter were immediately notified to leave the eastern continent. Rather than saying that, the fact that there will be a war involving the whole continent is something that lay low and made Renoir somehow steer toward the western continent. Not only Renoir, but Stra did all kinds of work on countries.
(Once the war begins, turn the Adventurer Alliance into a battle against the enemy. In that case, both Renoir......)
I really don't want to cross swords with my best friends, Renoir or Ashley. But if we make Renoir or Ashley, the S-class adventurer, our enemy more than that, it's obvious that Trisen will be devastated by it alone. This is a deliberate idea that we would like to eliminate if only marginally possible.
(Heh heh, you only see your best friend as a pawn on the battlefield, huh? You're a nasty woman, I...)
There was a man ahead of her who progressed in thought.
"... Brother Tabla, this is the only place where forgiveness is granted."
"Hmm! You still have a big attitude, Stra!
This man with a tyrannical attitude toward Stra is Tabla. He is the only brother with the same mother as Stra. He's the man who made a scene in Pars in the past and was beaten down by Kelvin.
"It's what happens if your father finds you. I decided not to see it, so please come back."
"Are you sure? I've brought useful information to you in the dark."
"... information?
"Ask and be surprised! I just got word the other day about a guy named Kelvin who was promoted to S in Pars! To hear the voice of this king, would Trissen make nations enemies? Then, inevitably, the guild will also move. You don't know much about the guy who just got S-graded and has little information. But don't worry. Anyway, I've been watching him for a long time..."
"That's not true. We've been collecting information about him since Christoph was taken into custody."
"Well, thank you for asking... what?
"We've investigated the stories you might learn at Alliance, Pars, and Trage. They're all stunning stories, their stats are covered up, and vice versa... there's got to be all the information your brother can get."
"Well, how about some info on the other S-class adventurers? We've been looking into adventurers for a long time. My use misplaced me in the passenger seat of the mock game the other day, causing me to investigate. Firstly, Sylvia, the new-faced S-class adventurer who was there, and two of Gordiana..."
Stra exhales heavily.
"Brother, the S-level adventurer who was at the game venue, except for Kelvin - no, that's enough. Satella."
"Here."
"Become!?
When Stra called his name, Satella, a dark deputy, appeared out of nowhere.
"Brother Tabla is back in his room. Take me with you."
