Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 1: The Ghost of Cilentium, Part 3

"This is my arena! It would be pretty good.

Artrius and the others were brought to the site of the Arena, located at the northern end of the Legion Base.

Although the site is somewhat too well cleaned, there is nothing more to say about the site than that people are not using it, even if things that were people were using it.

Do you know how to fight?

"Oh, I don't know if it works for you, but..."

Hal replies to Altrius's question with no confidence.

Fighting technique is the technique of fighting with your own fighting spirit and will in swords and fists, and can usually also cause damage to the presence of more sharp swords or fists that cannot be touched directly.

Although it is the first technique gained by reaching what is said to be mastery, Hal is a swordsman and fighter enough to enter ten fingers even in his hometown.

Naturally, I've met him, but of course I've never fought a Necromancer.

"After all, there was no madness in my eyes, what, if I had met you, it would be problematic, so I wish I could touch you.

"... that's what I say. What about you?

When Hal raises the question, Altrius laughs with a higher angle of mouth.

"Who do you think I am, a fool?" I'm Altrius the hero! My sword is the white holy sword, destroy yourselves. The force and the blade are not fading.

Altrius and Hull intertwine their gaze for a moment before entering the starting line indicated by red bricks on the floor of the arena.

Altrius blew out his sword with a gentle chill and raised his voice in a heartfelt delight.

"We will now host a sword fight with the welcome of the new Border Guardian!

Hal sighed one time, keeping an eye on how Erlacia was safe as she was being watched by the ghost soldiers and slowly pulling out the knife on her hips.

"The imperial province of Albionius is the castle owner of Castrum, Gaius Altrius!

Satisfied to see how it was, Altrius sets up his sword and raises his name.

"... Qiu Ru Qingyi, a magician in the town of Akircius, the new realm of the Empire.

Hal raised his name quietly with a knife on his shoulder.

Altrius raises a single eyebrow to Hal's name.

"Well, I've heard rumors that the Swordsmen of the Alliance of the Islands... are quite powerful, but this is the first time you've paired up... but the New Territories means that the Alliance of the Islands has finally been brought down to the Empire..."

"Unwillingly...

Hal answers bitter objects with the kind of face they contain in his mouth.

Did Altrius feel anything about the way it was, he changed his previous momentum and mysteriously set up his sword.

"Let's get started, Yamato Swordsman!

Altrius kicked the ground with his faded leg and leaped to Hull.

Hal uses a powerful and pushing Altrius to fight back, squeaking, and occasionally sharply while judging.

Gradually, the sword starts to take on dancing glamour, and Erlacia originally sees the ghost soldiers surrounding her more often in the match between Altrius and Hull as well.

"Wow haha! Didn't think we'd do this far!! Don't do it, Yamato Swordsman!!

"... I don't feel bad about being complimented by a hero.

Two people exchanging words the moment they take a few eye-catching intermissions.

"Hmmm!!!

"Come on!"

meet each other's swords and swords with Kin, and after leaving, the two distance themselves from nature.

'... hehe, let's get this far from the game, it was a really good time, thanks!!

"Oh, this is the one, it's been a long time since I fought so desperately..."

When Altrius declares with a cool face, Hal responds with a breath on his shoulder.

Returning to each other's starting line, he exchanged a grace and put his sword and knife in his sheath.

Two people with a satisfying grin.

Hal slips into the starting line.

"Hal!"

Ellesia rushed under Hull as the game ended and the ghost soldiers stopped sieging.

"Oh, Ellesia, were you okay?

"Yeah, the soldiers haven't touched me one finger.

"Right..."

I was confirming, but once again, I heard you safe, and Hal sounds relieved.

"Hal was the one who was okay? Are you hurt?

"Oh, I'm fine, it looks like we've been getting a lot less than that.

Hull gently strokes Ellesia's head touching Peppe and Hull's body and looks at Altrius with pleasantly surprised Ellesia in the margins.

'You're close.

"Oh, that's not..."

"Yes!"

Erlacia blocks Hal's words from trying to deny Altrius' words and hugs Hal into them.

Hal tries to fool around, but he's out of power and he can't fulfill it.

Altrius looked a little jealous, then he regained his mind and opened his mouth.

"... well, you're not so despised about force, Lord Border Guardian will be within the third of the mighty men I fought.

"Ah, it's an honor... but I want this to be clear already.

Altrius nods at Hal's words.

'Um, don't worry, now my wish has been fulfilled.

Along with Altrius' harsh voice, a quiet light fills the perimeter of the arena.

"Is this...? What's going on, Altrius?

The light that begins to fill the perimeter of the arena eventually covers the entire ruins of the city.

Altrius with a satisfying view of the city.

"What... the takeover ceremony of our 21st legion is over.

Altrius turns his gaze back to Hal, who is surprised while Erlacia hits him.

"Actually, it is the handover ceremony of our Legion tradition to make arrangements with the new Legion Leader and the former Legion Leader, I also received a rough welcome from my predecessor, a nostalgic memory.

Until then the exhilarating appearance lurked, and the figure of a calm samurai was there.

Altrius turns his gaze to the ghost soldiers.

When Hal and Ellesia were caught in sight and turned their eyes, the soldiers gathered continuously from all over the city to the arena.

"I'm sorry, Haruyoshi, but now the whole 21st legion, including myself, has entered under the command of the Lord, there, so, I have a favor to ask.

"... what is a favor?

Hal, who noticed the intent of Altrius thinly, asked, however, what the request was about.

"We want you to free the soldiers who have been tied to this land for years.

Altrius mouths the answer as Hal expected.

"It is my responsibility to fail the city, but not to the soldiers who did their best to spare their lives, following my awkward command... will you please return me to my homeland? It's irrational for the soldiers to be cursed with me, right here.

Wrapped in a pale light, Altrius pleads with Hull in earnest, bowing his head.

'Please, listen to me!

Hal, blurring at how the soldiers had often begun to align and Altrius bowing his head, rose gently apart from the mundane Erlacia.

Hal tells Erlacia to step back once and stands in front of the ghost soldiers who have completed aligning Altrius in command position.

And I gave the order with a firm eye on Altrius.

"Former Commander of the Legion of Altrius, report personnel.

'... eh!! Whoa! Imperial Northern Guard Command and Direct Jurisdiction, 834 Imperial 21st Regiment! No vacancies! Currently 834 total aligned!!!

Trembling at the hunch, Altrius makes his final personnel report to Hull.

"I lay down my life under the authority of the Acting Commander of Legion, Hal Akircius Border Guardian Officer... for forty long years on a mission, thank you all for your hard work, the 21st Legion will be dismantled today, and each soldier will be demobilized promptly.

The ghost soldiers gave a uniform look of joy to Hal's words, and a moment later, they disappear one after the other with a strong light.

'Thank you, I send you my utmost gratitude... and I pray that you will not be happy with your future.
