Black Summoner

- Tricen Castle Town

Dan and the Iron and Steel Knights arrived in Trisen the day after Kelvin and the others broke into the castle town, which was also around sundown. Not to mention storing a siege weapon in a magic item that lacks mobility, running military horses and returning abruptly, their basic gear is platinum armor that covers their entire bodies. There was also a limit to the emphasis on speed.

(Damn, you took more time than I thought......! But what is this situation?

Dan had some suspicions since diving the main entrance. It is the reaction of the residents of the castle town who discovered a line of dan bound for the castle.

"Oh, it's the Knights of Steel led by General Dan!

"Kah! Master Dan! Master Jin!

"The boulder is the strongest warrior Trysen is proud of! Ha ha, my country is cheap."

"Long live Trysen! Long live General Dan!

Look at him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Skilled knights trained under Dan could not hide their agitation from the unexpected. If it's a triumph, it's still like this battle has retreated from the battlefield itself. There's no reason to be greeted like this.

"General, what the hell is this...?

"I don't know. But no matter what happens, stay calm. Let's hurry to the castle first."

Rumors call for rumors, and one nation after another. People pave the way to the castle and throw admirable words in their mouths. The Knights are just worried, even though the sight of a hero's triumph, the fitting of that word of pitari, spreads before their eyes. Dan himself, who earlier admonished Jin, his deputy, was also one of them.

"Hey, did you hear that? The Magic Knights continue to beat the suburbs of the gown."

"I heard nothing, but there was a direct reign from Wang. The gown surrendered before the war started. It's only natural to fear and fight the Trysen army, but it's not worth the reign."

"Ugh, well, this is the rule of the ever-winning country."

What I heard was a conversation between a couple on the side of the road.

(The King himself made a false announcement...?

Not only the couple, but the people all have no way of questioning the King's words. I believe in matters that make me smile that I won't do that if I think about it a little bit, as if I were going to abandon my questioning.

(This phenomenon is the same as ours... Leonhardt's statement that the King is the Demon King. I don't think so. But it is also true that until it was mentioned, as one of our Knights, there was no one to doubt its potential. Acquiesce to the revitalization of monsters and even Tristan's leap in the area except for Tricene in the transformation of the king. Again -)

Dan's aim is to meet the king directly and see if Stra is safe. And rescue - Azgrad, who was the first candidate for the next king, was defeated in the battle against Pars, and the Dragon Cavalry Corps had no one to return to as one, and was wiped out. I don't want to think about the death of Azglad, who was a beloved apprentice and beloved, but now is not the time. If we don't leave royal blood behind, this country will collapse. Even if the other foolish princes inherited it, that would be the same. At any rate, Dan needed to protect Stra.

"Jin, your squad goes from the back to the castle. I can't predict what's going to happen from here. Whatever you sacrifice, give priority to Lord Stra's life."

"Copy that. What about the general?"

"I will also go to the rescue of Master Stra, but I would like to see the King, if possible"

"Hey, what are you talking about! Master Stra comes first! Besides, the only thing that works for the Demon King is the Brave Attack! No matter how many generals..."

"It is on understanding that there is a contradiction. But this is still the king's katana. We need to make sure it's true and pass it on to the king."

"General..."

I don't see the look on Dan's face running the lead from Jin. But his back was somewhere lonely and sad. He was a gin who was sympathetic to his father and feeling a little sentimental -

"Well, if it's a weasel, I can afford to help Master Stra out a little bit and convince the king!

A full grin on Dan's face as he looked back. Gin that becomes symmetrically faceless. His sentimental emotions seemed quick to cool down.

"... then it's time for me to go"

"Oh, come on. I don't think so."

Through the castle town, there are no more shadows of the people.

"... Father, don't die!

Jin's squad leads him off the cobblestone to the castle and disappears.

"Ayamatsu... keep going, lords!

"" "Ouch!

- Trysen Castle.

If you run for a short time down the cobblestone road through the castle town, what you will see is a second wall surrounding Trysen Castle along the hill. The only way to break through this wall is through the main entrance or use the entrance behind the secret presence. As with the walls outside, there are barriers in the sky, because there is still no way to break in from them in the normal course of time.

"It's Dan Dalba, General of the Knights of Steel! Open the gate!

The main entrance is shut tightly, and there is no sign of those who would otherwise refrain from serving as gatekeepers. Only Dan's voice sounded vain in the evening sky, but the dimension passed and a shadow could be seen appearing over the castle.

"Isn't this, General Dan! It's a long and early return. A boulder is a true hero, I didn't expect to grab victory without fighting. I can't help but admire General Tristan's arm."

"Tristan......!

than is Tristan. I met the most troublesome guy, Dan thought sincerely so.

"What's early! You will be the one who escaped the Trage without a fight!

"Well, what is it about? Me and the Magic Knights have won the Trage. That's what the people would have said."

"You......! Enough, open the corner gate, too. I need to speak to the King and Master Stra."

"Hmm, you're in trouble. I can't do either of that."

Tristan tilts his neck and hands on his chin in a sloppy tone.

"What?

"The King is currently educating (...) Master Stra. I told you not to let anyone through the room, so whether it's General Dan or not, it won't come true."

"... Ku"

The situation was leaning towards the unsavory. Assuming you believe Tristan's words, the King and Stra are in the same place. Rescue of the princess and identification of authenticity, which in any case becomes difficult.

"Besides, at the castle, we're in the middle of a feast inviting a heavy town in the country. Those armed, like the generals, will frighten their customers in mischief. Please, pick up today…"

"Well, the first challenge is to break through here."

A fearful Tristan with his hands on his chest, but Dan hasn't seen him at the earliest. Reach for the sword pattern on your back in slow motion -

"Oh, General Dan, I'm sorry. Now it's harder to ask for it."

"... what?

Zugaan!

Behind the faces of Dan and the Knights of Steel, a roar sounds as if he dropped something huge. Together we turn around and see what happened.

"That is... the ancient dragon of the Dragon Cavalry!

"There was a survivor!

There was Rock Dragon Boga, an ancient dragon proud of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment. My men rejoice in the return of their compatriots. He doesn't look like he's taking the deep hand, but rather looks better than he did when he went out in battle. enough to raise an extra-large roar on the spot.

"Is there a soldier on board?

"I can't see much from here, get closer -"

"Everyone, combat attitude. There's a siege weapon, too. Get it out."

"Huh? Ko, is that a siege weapon?

The order given by Dan was not Boga's protection, but his destruction.

"Where did a giant dragon emerge like him while this barrier was being erected? I feel an incomprehensible power different from the Dragon Cavalry. Boga seems motivated."

Boga lowered his posture and is still in a position to kick the ground and try to run out. Heading there is the main entrance.

(... it seems like the one on the back of the dragon is really at risk)

"I know you do, but you can't open the gate, can you? Castle defense comes first."

"Hah, you mean this is your ruse too!

"That's not true. It's also an unexpected event for me. Hmm, it's an emergency... General Dan, I'm in a hurry, so if you'll excuse me."

"... you'll remember later."

"I'll wait in anticipation. Bye."

Boga started the assault at the same time Tristan turned his back.
