Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Fried Army, King Alford Headquarters

A young man's fury echoes in a tent of tension and luxury.

"What do you mean you can't secure food?"

"They say the southern nations have all sold their surplus food to Cilentium.

When I answered with a chilling man's voice sounding embarrassed, the young man's anger sounded even higher.

"... what? Betrayal!?

In the tent a young blonde man, situated in the upper seat, stared bitterly at a man with a middle-aged, quiet atmosphere.

But the middle-aged man, Miyazai Bergan, did not seem to have moved into the extraordinary gaze of the young man, Prince Danford, and returns the words pale.

"No, it's not. Looks like he had already finished buying to feed the pioneering people, leaving a contract on the date before King Alford sent out his soldiers.

"Damn...! I guess there's food for the people!? Let them testify!!

"That will involve force if you do poorly, okay? You will turn the Southern tribes against your enemies.

At last, Bergan was clearly embarrassed by the way he just sighed at the impossible demands made, but the prince carries on the words in a way he didn't even realize he was embarrassed.

"... you have to, don't you? We need food for the fight! Anyway, just let it go, and if it doesn't work, you'll have to charge it!

"... OK, let's work on each Village Yi now.

"Hand warm! Good, burn down one village and let us know what we mean! That way the other villages will serve food!

Despite the compromise proposal, Bergan sighed clearly to the unconvinced prince.

"Prince, if you do that, you will shake Cliffonam's tie.

"... against the royal life? Just do it! Don't worry about the Southern tribes or anything!

Bergan, stuck out his index finger and frightened by Danford, who showed him the exit, looks behind Danford and walks away silently leaving a message.

Danford, who hatefully dropped off Bergan's back out of the tent, looked back at Alford, his father, who sleeps behind himself as his palace palace ruler saw him.

After not letting go of the black box and the great sword and seeing Alford rowing the ship cleverly in a frustrating manner, Danford wanders around and comes and goes in the tent.

We've already received word from spies who have infiltrated the Cilentium in large numbers that the work is going well.

Another spy also informed me that it was possible to snipe with the King's Common Stone Bow.

Collaboration with collaborators also seems to have been successful, and apparently things carry better than expected in Cilentium.

Finally, the contents of the martyrdom proudly arrived from El Laicia.

But an inconvenience arises in the army that I lead, and Miyazawa is spooky and doesn't listen to herself.

"Damn, the warriors say they've gathered enough... how can it not work! The measures are supposed to be working!

Danford kicked down the candlestick that was standing at the same time as he screamed.

A candlestick that makes flashy noises and rolls.

Nearby is also the figure of Charlotte and Dernford with their magical faces wrapped in armor.

But King Alford kept sleeping without worrying about the noise, and Danford made his appearance more harsh.

"Damn, why!

Without trying to hide his frustration, Danford shrugged his head and shouted, leaving room for his confused siblings.

In hosting the army, Danford succeeded in severing the king's personality from court officers and palaces in the name of being a direct king's army and their direct command of the army.

Sometimes it was a long battle, and in this period, arguably a breakthrough, gathered more than 7,000 warriors, and Castle Fradia sprang to life just before the war.

The convocation gave up because of Bergan's hard opposition to the other tribes, but it is nevertheless a sufficient number to attack Cilentium, which has no decent defense or power.

The march began immediately, but the problem is immediately discovered.

The warriors follow Cliffonam tradition and bring three days' worth of portable food, but the warrior chiefs and kings will prepare food thereafter.

It is largely secured by looting under the name of local procurement, but this time it is a battle in the area where the Cliffonams live, and it cannot be looted in vain. As a result, Bergan asked the marching tribes and villages to prepare food, but this is not ridiculous.

The reason is Hal's planned food buyout.

Besides, Hal had prepared a contract disguising the date so that the people of each tribe would not be held accountable at that time, and had distributed the necessary number of sheets to each tribe, so each village Yi has not been able to seize them so far, along with the fact that it is also advantageous to suppress Bergan.

However, the food gathering was so poor that Danford finally cut the toast of the bag.

"... you can't do it, have you ever assembled the Cliffonams listed by King Alford?

Bergan was an unexpected thought, but still King Alford is alive, and as long as he is alive, he is in law.

As long as I have a brother-in-law, I have to take care of my children, even though I'm incompetent.

And if you win the battle, you won't be able to fulfill your brother-in-law.

"... why don't we do the least... we have no choice.

Dropping his shoulder, Bergan decided to lead his own warriors to the grocery store.

The village of Narthea, Argentine, most recently the main management of King Alford

In the village square closest to the main camp of the Fried army, the warrior chief and the village chief had discussions that could not even be described as conversations.

"Well, isn't that looting...!

"Yes, let it out or I'll take it.

For a moment in the words of the warrior chief, the outraged village chief dyed his face red in anger the next moment.

"... Wow, I don't know what to do with us... you want me to starve to death!

"... why don't you and Cilentium take care of it?

"That's what my countrymen say!? Ho, are you serious?

He was the village chief who sees the warrior chief with the eyes of the incredible, but the warrior chief uttered words very normally without the appearance of going through it willingly.

"Now, if you start, resist, you'll burn the village.

"Oh, no..."

The search for the Fried Warriors began as the village chief watched without a chance to stop them.

Even when it comes to family searching, the people of the village are not hiding food.

We don't have any surplus food, so we just didn't give it away, and we keep our share of it in the house, so we find it immediately.

The warriors, who brutally kicked through the doors of the houses with their swords in their hands, let the villagers, surprised by the sudden intruders, take food or threaten them with their swords to carry them.

Those who resist beat and kick down the warriors.

Occasionally the village was surrounded by noisy air, but the village chief barely stopped the villagers trying to take out their swords and resist.

The food collected in the village square was supposed to be connected by the villagers' next harvest.

Having been satisfied with the amount, the warrior chief uses the village's ethnic people to load food into the cars that were in the village.

"Bye, village chief. Tell the border warden I'm glad to hear it.

He was a village chief who shook his fist with a message to the warrior chief's abandonment dialogue, but he could only look at the luggage truck loaded with his own food without doing anything.

"Mayor!"

"What did you do to me? Shut the fuck up!

In the sight of the village chief, who looked back at the voice of the villagers, there are those who fell injured or families who are kicked and exposed to mutilation.

To the villagers who had gathered, swollen their faces and held their arms, the village chief shook away in anger.

Shut the fuck up! It's not just our food, it's our pride. Pack your load! We're going to the Cilentium!

In the words of the village chief, anger was raised by the women, children and men who were on the way.

Ten days later, Silentium East Castle Gate

Black smoke rose from the direction of the village of Almar.

Perhaps Alford's army, which learned of the Armar rebellion, has burned down the deserted village of Almar.

After a while, the shade of red flames is also clearly visible in the sky, and the people of Almar see, indirectly but not exclusively, the village they have lived in silence for many years.

The people of the village of Almar went up to the walls and, even after the red sky was white and the night dawned and the smoke had gone out, they had always turned a strong gaze towards the northeast that engraved them into their eyes.

"I knew this was going to happen... but it's still a terrible thing to be discouraged and shocked..."

With a look neither angry nor lonely, Arkiando remembers what he said to Hal as he looked out at the night sky, and Hal ascends to the waiting eastern castle gate of Altrius.

"Soon the Fried army led by Alford will emerge.

To Hal looking northeast over the castle gate, Artrius said.

Before Hull snorted silently, and before much had passed, from the slices of the forest, he began to appear in a uniform line, dressed in armored helmets of thoughts, and warriors with swords, spears, and bows.

I can see that there is a box available in the rear.

Above it, held by ten or so powerful warriors, sits a sword that King Alford and his shadow gently unleashed.

Around it emerged a prince, a young man dressed in luxurious armor, one woman in two, who again let the inflexible escort warriors consolidate their surroundings.

"That's... Prince Danford on the left, you're Delnford on the right, and the woman is like Charlotte.

A fully armed Archian, who followed Hull up to the castle gate, explained to Hull, hoping to see him with his hands on his forehead.

Unlike much anticipated, the Alford army, which emerged from the northeast direction, is avoiding this while marveling at the moat of Cilentium and forming itself in front of the eastern castle gate.

You're not going to challenge the siege, you're not going to surround Cilentium, and Hal can't hide his confusion from the Freed Army, which lays field-like formations.

"Hmm? What are you gonna do?

"... Hmm, that's a field formation.

When Altrius affirmed Hal's confusion, Arkiando opened his mouth.

"... aren't you confused by the walls of Cilentium?

As Alkiando expected, Danford was bewildered.

"... what do you mean? The moat and the walls are in order..."

Think of it as just an abandoned city, and Cilentium is completely unusual and defensive.

There is no reason not to be confused, because the walls that were torn were once again reunited with marble, and a new moat of water is provided outside it.

Not only Danford, but Bergan and the warriors could not hide their confusion and surprise at the Cilentium, which showed a completely different appearance from what they had been hearing.

Not to mention reports from spies have not come either.

Bergan had a bad feeling about it, but he gave up looking at Danford's face to advance.

"... cut off the trees around you, for as long as you can!

Bergan gave instructions and the warriors using the axe as a weapon immediately began cutting the surrounding trees.

Because we did not envisage a siege, the Freed Army, which does not even bring a siege ladder, has no way of attacking Cilentium as it is.

In case of a force attack, take down Oki and give him the top of the moat and set him up on the walls of the castle as a scaffold. A tree of insufficient length would replace a broken castle hammer.

Nevertheless, even though the surroundings are surrounded, the more pioneering and the trees have been cut off quite a bit, the harder it is to carry them to the front of the walls, on top of the few large trees that you may think of.

The warriors struggle to cut down the trees, and when they pay the branches and hang the ropes, they transport them manually to their own formation.

The unfamiliar work did not proceed as late, stirring up Bergan's frustration.

"Hurry up!

It is obvious that food could have been procured once, but quantitatively, with very little comfort, this battle could not be spent much time, and I am concerned that the information on Cilentium was not conveyed correctly.

"Hurry!"

Bergan lost all his calm in a hurry, barking his voice and hurrying the warriors.

"Well, there is a man with a good eye.

"... you're going to use the Ogi instead of the bridge to push across the moat and the walls.

'Um, and it would also be a substitute for a broken castle hammer.

"I see..."

Looking back at Altrius' voice, Hal saw the direction he pointed to and understood the content of the words.

There are many large trees available that have been cut off branches.

Long objects will be used instead of scissors or bridges, and short objects will be used instead of broken castle hammers to break through the castle gates.

'... ma, this much is the range of expectations.

Altrius said when he saw the oiled pot behind him.

The prepared trees are arranged near the castle gate to the east.

In addition, since the Freed army did not attack and remained seated in a field formation near the eastern castle gate, it would be willing to make every effort to break the eastern castle gate considering the number of troops.

After wanting to see how things were going for a while, Danford and the thinker shouted up angrily at his shoulder as he entered the front of the castle gate.

"I am the successor of the Hero King, the people of Cliffonam are the tribe, Danford of Freed! Tell the Border Protection Officer of the Abandoned City! Open the gates immediately and surrender! We are a warrior regiment of Alford heroic kings who hang our pride and gather with the will to rid our land of empires! If you open the castle gate, untie the military costume and surrender, the hero king will give you warmth!!

Hal responded by making sure there were no enemy archers around.

"It's Border Guardian Hal Akircius! I refuse that offer! We tried to build a life in this land with an abandoned city and land! What do you mean you can't destroy it! I say to the hero king! If you wish the peace of the people, leave the soldiers! I'm not going after you!

"... if you don't obey, only pass your intentions by force! Don't regret denying me the opportunity to surrender!!

Danford, who left no aftertaste in Hal's words and shouted back to throw them away, promptly turns back to his formation.

"... don't say it often even though you're not willing to leave from the start.

"Well, this is also the one style.

When Hal spilled as he looked at its back and Altrius responded to it, Arkiando began to give instructions to the warriors under his command.

"... I'm coming!

While Achill and his words were over or not, a group of Fried Army warriors shouted, holding Oki from left to right and sticking him in at once.

The fire of battle was cut off and dropped.
