Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Dekimus Adamantius and his soldiers, who held all Boreus squads, will take Boreus squads to the Legion Base site once they are disarmed.

"I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you, I'm the defensive commander of the Dekims Adamantius Northern Border Post.

"I'm Hal Akircius, the border guardian, thank you very much.

When Adamantius greets him that way as he salutes him, Hal bows down with his spine stretched to answer.

And Adamantius turned his face to Altrius, who refrained beside Hull, with a thoughtful eye of all.

The two people, often silent and seeing each other's faces, smile, both bitterly and can be called smiles, and take their gaze off.

And Adamantius asks Hal a question.

"I understand the assignment of policing and the assumption of military power in the area of responsibility delegated by the Lord Border Guardian Officer, I sincerely pray you, for a period of time... is that okay for the time being?

"Please.

"The power of attorney is certainly received from Lord Reysink. Here, thanks to this power of attorney, we can proceed without delay with the takeover of the Boreus squad.

Since the Boreus squad is not under Adamantius' command and belongs to the neighboring North Central Oran Border Guard, Adamantius cannot be disposed of or detained outside the Imperial Territory, which would otherwise not be in charge.

However, with Hull's power of attorney, a border guardian officer, military power within the area for which the border guardian officer is responsible is delegated to the commander with the power of attorney.

The date of publication of the power of attorney is the date on which Raysink handed Adamantius the power of attorney and signed it.

Fortunately, the date was before Boreus carried out the raid, so Adamantius was able to exercise his authority without delay.

"What will you do with it?

To Hull's question, Adamantius, looking sideways at the soldiers of the Boleus squad being disarmed, slowly opened his mouth after conceiving that way for a while.

"Boreus, the captain of the mastermind, was executed by the Border Guard Officer for urban disturbance, and all participating soldiers will be stripped of their military citizenship and retrained by me at the police station. Thirty soldiers less than or equal to the remaining deputy officers will also have sights, so they will be under the direct command of Cilentium. What do you say?

"Okay, what about the fort that's left?

"The fort of Theoneus has been migrated by the subject Theoneus to be managed, so it will be an unnecessary fort and will be destroyed later. The rest of the soldiers are dead, too, and I'll take them in with my team. Do you want me to bring the materials from the demolished fort here?

"Right, we'll pick up the material. I'll send the request for the breakdown of the fort to the border guard I'm in charge of.

"Marquels, the commander of the North Central Border Guard, is a discerning person to talk to, but with that, it's easier to discuss, so it helps.

Hal approved Adamantius' proposal and the treatment of the Boreus squad was decided.

"What happened to the village of Theoneus?

Hal asked the question, toying with Helionel behind him, and Adamantius answered unfortunately.

"... I didn't confirm it, but according to the soldiers' testimony, unfortunately, they seem to have been burned down and sprinkled with salt to show off at the hands of the Boreus squad, it won't be possible to rebuild.

Sprinkling salt on the marks that have destroyed the enemy land is the way the Empire curses.

It is difficult to rebuild the cursed land because it is extremely weakened and the land becomes barren under the influence of salt.

"Really, there is only... although I am sorry for the people of the Theoneus tribe.

"... no, it's a home I threw away once, it's a lie to say there's no untrained, but I'm defining this place as my new home... so I'm fine.

As Hal turned around and said, Hellionel looked lonely and sadly.

Hal and Adamantius watched Hellionel as he couldn't resist, but when Hellionel smiled slightly, he headed to the Temple of the Sun to lead the warriors and hit the guidance of the peoples.

Adamantius uttered words as he sent a small silence and turned back to Hull.

"Now, I'm going to arrange for the transfer of the Boreus squad, 500 more from the barracks, because I'm going to call the soldiers.

"Please, until then, keep them in the dungeons of the Legion Base.

"I got it.

To Hull's answer, Adamantius sent the salute back on his heels and headed to the disarming location of the Boreus squad to command the soldiers.

Ahead of Dekimus, Altrius wrapped his arms and looked at Dekimus' men's working gestures satisfactorily, but as Adamantius approached, he looked back and raised his mouth angle.

How have you been, Adamantius? Well, you're old enough! My men are also well trained, bouldering.

"Yes, rigorous training is hopeful and gainful for tomorrow. I am exposed to shame for surviving thanks to that teachings, but are you sure your teacher... is well...?

'Wahaha, sure! We're not there anymore as the Lord saw us then, so it's hard to say that we're fine, but, well, we're fine. It's a pleasure to have a new apprentice.

To the words of Adamantius, laughing Altrius.

And when he saw him, Adamantius remembered the day of his presence, and wept unexpectedly.

Soldiers of their men who marvel at the sadness and tears of repentance that their harsh and oblivious commanders show for the first time.

Adamantius carries on the words in tears with room for the soldiers to breathe quietly.

"Really, that's... uh, most importantly... no... really..."

"... what's up? Doesn't it?

To Altrius, who is gentle, Adamantius' tear gland creates tears without knowing to stay.

Tears since that time forty years ago.

Tears have been hot, thick and stained on my cheeks ever since I thought I would never see him again and tears teared because I couldn't even retrieve it before the enemy army that was about to open the castle with my division's head up.

Adamantius wipes tears, looks up and sees his teacher.

"No... I'm sorry, I can't get sentimental when I'm old, this is how I realized and regretted how I've wasted my life with what I've seen... it's been a forever and wasted forty years.

'No, that's not true, because then your Lord killed your personal feelings and adhered to your custody, and Alford also forbade an imperial intrusion. Besides, this is how I met your Lord again. Sometimes it starts anew because your Lord is here. Never in vain, etc.

To Adamantius, who tells him to squeeze out his voice, Altrius answers without breaking his grin, and gently.

"... thank you, but this body is getting old as early as possible, I won't even be able to help you around the left.

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be powdering myself and my talent from now on! With a dead body. Can we still use it?

"Ha ha... I'm no match for a teacher, I know enough.

To Altrius, who replied as if to his words, Adamantius could finally smile and say so.

"Hal! Are you hurt?

To Hull, who broke up with Dekims, Ellesia rushes.

"Oh, it's okay, were you okay there?

"Yes, everything's fine. You've all calmed down and evacuated and waited, so now we're all going back to the farm or home... are you hurt?

To Hull, who answers with a smile, Ellesia rushes as close as she can, touching Hull's head, face, and body with both hands.

"Oh, don't touch me too much..."

"Oh, no, I need to see if there's any injuries..."

"No, there isn't, there isn't!

As Hal with the big bow opens up and tries to take a step back, Ellesia grabs and secures the hem mouth of the oval coat that Hal is wearing from the top of his armor and tries to insert her hand into it.

I saw a nostalgic face in Hal's sight as he tried to escape in a hurry with the arrangements.

"Hey, Hal, you got a wife, and I didn't expect you to catch a beauty like this.

"... it's Lucius!

"Ooh, it's been a long time.

Hull's face shines on Lucius as he watches Hull and Ellesia twitch together.

"Ugh... I'm not convinced, you seem happier than when you met me..."

Erlacia swells her cheeks in dissatisfaction when she sees that face.

"Sorry, this is the guy's friendship.

Hal looking down and Lucius answering with a full smile.

"Ma'am, there's some stories to pile up, daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna borrow my husband for a second, okay?

"... I can't help it, I can't keep my husband's friends out of the way.

"... you won't be my husband..."

Leaving her hands reluctantly off the blurry Hull, Ellesia said, "Sorry," Lucius turned his hand around Hull's shoulder and moved a little further away.

"Lucius, what are you doing here all of a sudden?

Hal asks with his hands around his shoulder.

"It's called Cilentium here. It's a good place. I want to move here, too.

After answering Hal's question so first, Lucius took his hand off Hal and told Hal how he had come to Cilentium.

"... well, it looks like that girl is recovering well and above all.

"Well, I was just visiting, but I was thankful for you, huh?

Lucius laughs furiously at Hal's words of relief.

But Hull's face darkens again.

"... you've annoyed Lucius, too.

"Oh... my thing is good, you like me and you did it. It was worse than that, I agreed to your left transition, but that son did it for the better, and I couldn't achieve anything. I think we all feel the same way.

Lucius shakes his neck to the left and right of Hal's words and returns his apology with a mysterious expression.

"No, I hate to think I can't help it, but there's nothing I can do about it... but I regret it.

"Oh."

Two people teasing their lips with real regret.

The tyranny of the nobility will get worse and worse.

Once a restraint was added, the noblemen who saw this result were undoubtedly going to be so fierce that the officials lost the power to stop it in this case.

Thinking of the citizens of the Empire, it was Hal and Lucius, whose feelings became darker.

"More than that, Lucius, what are you going to do now that you're fired? How do you work?

"Oh, about that... Hal, why don't you hire me?

Lucius says a little bit badly to Hal's doubts again.

"Huh?"

"From what I've seen, the city is quite busy, but you don't seem to have enough hands, so there are things you can do to help?

Why, let's hasten to say it to Hal.

But Hal returns the words mean after twisting his neck a little.

"Uh-huh, what do you think... Lucius would be free to do it on the border?

"Oh, hey, what are you talking about! I told you I chased you all the way here! You and I are friends, right?

Hal deepens the angle of his neck as he looks at Lucius in an even more hurry to recruit him.

"But hey, what kind of job can Lucius..."

"Isn't that Dade's experience with security officials?

To Lucius straining his chest, Hal sends a diagonal gaze.

"But hey..."

"... please - hire me, I won't say luxury! I've been counting on you to tell the truth. What?"

"... okay, you have no choice.

At the end of the day, I saw Lucius hanging from crying down with his hands together and shaking his neck vertically, Hal.

Certainly not enough manpower.

Lucius, who has experience in urban security, can also be described as a good person for policing, which will occupy an important place in future urban operations.

"Yay! I owe you! Don't worry, I'll do my job!

"I guess it has to be... the same.

I bitterly complain to Lucius, who joyfully and courageously says, with Hal smiling bitterly.

Your ex-colleague, who is in a good mood, hasn't changed a bit.
