Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Six months later, Cilentium

"... are you going to continue the siege like this?

To Bergan's words, it was Danford who made a soggy look, but the glued state is a fact that cannot be moved.

Danford can't hide his frustration at Bergan's statement that he doesn't think about the way he speaks to himself as a prince, whether the food situation is unforgivable or a late advice.

But I knew perfectly well that nothing would be solved where I hit Bergan with anger here.

The morale of the Fried warriors under siege is also relaxing.

Unlike the spiritually tenacious imperialists, it is difficult to say that the people of Cliffonam and Oran are suited for cage and siege warfare in such respects, and the Fried warriors are already in a hurry in half moon cage castles.

But that's the same thing as Cilentium, and the majority of the citizens associated with Cage Castle are Orans and Cliffonams.

His Altrius was also allowed to continue his cage castle for as long as five months because he had escaped from the city before the battle a citizen unfit for cage battle, and on the other hand it was an offensive battle that he could have done because a flying charismatic king named King Alford was in command of the front.

"... heh, it's time to set it up... because they're provoking us.

Yesterday, all the warriors of Fried knew that Silentium had made an offer to beat the king to pieces.

Hal became royal over the eastern castle gate, provoking King Alford by complaining about his hectic and irrational gestures toward the Fried warriors who noted something, and at the end of the day cursed him for being a coward who couldn't even take a ride with the Imperial self.

This was the first time the offer of a one-horse beating had been made, but the warriors were greatly angry at the words that made it mean something as if they had made an offer in advance but had been refused, and complained of their dissatisfaction with the prince and palace slaughter who did not respond to this.

But it was Miyazaki Bergan who continued to disagree, not even through such provocation.

"... I disagree. I have no idea what you intend to offer to hit the city side with a single ride at this stage. It still looks like the city can afford it in terms of both its intentions. Some sort of measure may be available.

Bergan, who has completely besieged Cilentium but does not think he has a decisive decision-maker in the Freed army.

That Bergan seemed to see no gaps in Cilentium such as internal response or betrayal.

And alford counts eighty years old, no matter how many battlefields it is.

Danford tried to get on Hal's offer immediately, but as for Miyazawa's position, it wasn't about the trouble in case, and Bergan was strongly opposed to a one-horse hit.

That's why the meeting was disputed and the answer came today.

No signal has yet been given because Danford's planned insider or spy measures are to be activated after he has taken a single hit and shot King Alford.

Also, it goes without saying that we have this measure in Bergan, the palace of Alford.

"... let the messenger out, and the king will respond to a single strike!

That being said, Danford approached beneath his father, who slept in the rear, whispering in his ear quicker than Bergan, who tried to stop him for opposition.

"Father King, Altrius' successor is coming for a ride.

"... what... of Altrius, that he's the successor?!

As soon as King Alford heard Danford's words, he opened his eyes and stood up eagling at the great sword beside him.

And he changed his busy appearance until then, pulling out the Great Sword forcefully in a motion he didn't think of as an old man, making a lavish blade noise and shouting as he swung through the Great Sword.

Even if Alford is usually busy, only when he makes the atmosphere of the battlefield feel or hangs aggressive words shows a movement that reminds him of wonders and epic times.

Let us say sadness in any case whether the memory of the former battlefield will come and awaken you as a samurai.

"Little shit! Immediately, it makes me rust my sword!!

Danford laughed damned at the condition, and Bergan looked painfully, but the person at the time repeated his bareback and roared.

Simultaneous period, Silentium East Castle Gate

A man carrying Alford exposed his messenger and appeared near the East Castle Gate.

'Hal, I'm here...!

"... at last..."

Altrius, who is usually extraordinary, just makes the tension rise and tells Hal, his successor, that a former hatred has appeared.

He was put on hold the other day when he offered a one-strike offer and was the head of the slightly hurried Cilentium, but after watching the Freed Army move today, he realized that the provocation was not futile.

Hal builds his temper and holds his own weapon, the knife of the ancestral tradition, and the white holy sword borrowed from Altrius.

The white holy sword is homogeneous and unadorned to the Gladius commonly used by Imperial soldiers, but very light and rugged and not comparable to the common Gladius on that point.

Although it was possible to handle more than enough with one hand, Hal decided to use the defense mainly with his left hand because it was also a straight sword that he was unfamiliar with.

Sometimes I feel quite confident in my skill in knowing that I would be at a disadvantage, but that means strongly that Altrius' stigma is restored.

"My holy sword, Halyoshi, is light and rugged, but it is reckless to take Alford's sword head-on. Except when we're here, we don't have a proper meeting.

"I understand, my predecessor.

Not long before Altrius took serious advice, Hal slowly paid for the sheath of his sword.

White, cold swordbody becomes dewy.

"Hal... please be careful.

Fully caring, Hull looked back and smiled small, raising his hand and heading to the castle gate as Ellesia, with a crying face, called out so.

"Tell the Border Guardian! My Alford Hero King has shown his last warmth! If you want to keep the city involved and fight until the last soldier, it will be good, then destroy all soldiers and the people! If that person responds to a single battle with the Hero King as the representative of the city, the lives of the soldiers and the people will be relieved! If you lose, open the gates and surrender! In case my hero king procrastinates, let's leave the soldiers! How about a response!?

"This is the one who made the offer to strike first!... surrender if I win! Hero King!"

"Oops!! I think you can win, kid! Fine, I'll come down in case you win!

King Alford responded to Hal, who replied to tease Danford, who spoke orally.

King Alford, who rode Hal's provocation with a tense voice unlikely to be eighty years old, slowly descended from the box and proceeded with the great sword of the stripper in his right hand and the black box in his stomach.

Danford will be a sinister face to King Alford, who has easily ridden Hal's provocation, but he will shoot all the kings to death anyway.

I reconsidered that it had no effect on a large number of people and made them give a signal to the spies.

From the slightly open castle gate, Hal leads out of the Cilentium.

Alford, with a different back length for about two heads, was royal on the front, and Hal quietly walked over to the vicinity.

Two people standing in a position too far from each other's bow range.

At the same time I can hear the low noise of Silentium's castle gate closing.

Now there is nothing left for Hal.

The next time you go around the castle gate, it's only when you win.

"Be king of Fried. Alford, king of Cliffonam.

"Empire Border Protection Officer, Qiu Liu Qingyi.

Alford's voice like a cracked bell overlapped with that of a calm Hull.

The surrounding area is quiet without a shudder, thinking about the whereabouts and contents of the battle that is about to begin.

"... are you Altrius' successor? Kid from a group of islands.

"Yes, but... Alford Hero King. I never thought I'd see a fairy tale hero in this way.

"Slowly... a fairy tale, or certainly an unrealistic fairy tale world event if you're a kid, but it's not an old story, even a fairy tale, for those of us who rushed through those days so hard. You will succeed Altrius or we will try!

And the battle began abruptly.

He raises his voice like a beast and Alford swings the Great Sword sideways at once.

Hal flies back and forth with the white holy sword in his left hand, which he left behind from Altrius.

On a sneaky descent, the holy sword just scratched shook in fright.

"Hal!!

I heard Ellesia's sad voice later, but I can't look back.

Waving without taking his eyes off Alford so that Hal was not worried, Alford raised a single eyebrow and after Hal, glared over Ellesia, who was on the castle gate.

And I dropped my eyes on Hal's hips.

"... well, if you look closely, kid, you're the one who gets my daughter's knot..."

"You see good things for being busy... you swing?

"It's not like I'm swinging... the battlefield is where I am, and if I get blown by the wind on the battlefield, I'll be sane.

A great sword, vibrated within the end or not of the word, struck Hal in the hanging.

The twitching discord and shock sounds of metal colliding with each other.

Hal played Alford's sword with the Holy Sword.

"Wow, it's not your grandfather's power after 80...!

"Don't be silly, kid! Beat me if you want my daughter!!

"Whoa? is a different story!

After a quick detachment, Alford switches his guard and the sharp slaughter of Hull's knife and holy sword strikes from the vertical and horizontal sides, but can manipulate and prevent the Great Sword with one hand.

"Come on, with one hand...!

"Don't do it, young man!

Hal avoids, sends, and plays with the white holy sword and distracts the tip of the sword, avoiding the slaughter of Alford's stormy sword, which turned to offense again.

"Is that... Artrius' sword?

After a beating, Alford hung his words when he noticed the white holy sword in Hal's hand.

"I don't know! The stigma caused by the defeat of my predecessor will be snowed by my successor.

"Slowly, can you fulfill it!?

Alford answered and saw the Rigid Sword again as he laid his sword unannounced and included a laugh at Hal, who responded well to his prestige.

"Cut, damn it!

Hull's attack is lightly taken and bounced off by Alford, although he strikes back at the occasional gap while slashing.

"You can't beat me in such a breezy attack, Border Guard!!

Alford, who had switched swords to both hands, was slashed by Hull with the speed and force he'd doubled before.

"Oh, hey, what's up? Just do it!

"I've already given the signal... but I'm not responding...!

"Hey, what?

When warriors and soldiers from both sides were being seen in the squabbling battle, Danford was hastily and dewy squabbling his obedient warriors, but blued to the content of the reports received.

In spite of sending out signals, there is no response from the spies.

An arrow of stone bows should be flying from the Cilentium, halibuting the King and the Border Guardian at last, but the remaining two continue to attract warriors and soldiers on both sides by fiercely meeting their swords and developing a brilliant battle against the background of the sound of a sword thorn.

"Brother..."

Delnford has been calling out in a voice-color stuffed with cut wings, but it doesn't get into Danford's ears.

"Ku... damn, if this happens..."

You're gonna put yourself in Alford crisis, pretend to be a backup shooting, and shoot the two of you...

However, no matter how many flowing arrows, if an arrow hits Alford in this case, there will be no tomorrow for Danford, who ordered it.

Still, any measure that fails will soon be exposed.

In the unlikely event that King Alford's sidekicks, such as Bergan and court officials, are rebellious against themselves, they will be expelled and, worst of all, they will take their lives.

"Shit..."

Danford was pressed to make a decision.

I make a blunt noise, Alford's sword swings empty, digging the ground in front of Hull.

Looking at the gap, Hal glances at his neck with a knife and puts in a quick poke, but Alford is forced to jump up the great sword that dug the ground.

Hal hurried himself around to the sword approaching from below, but an unexpected counterattack saw the cutting edge of the sword scuffed his face and his blood flew small.

And two people taking the distance again.

"Ugh... oh..."

Compared to Hull to the extent that he is breathing lightly, Alford is getting a darker color of fatigue.

Alford breathes heavily on his shoulders and takes a deep breath repeatedly.

Translate, Hal.

The blood dripping from the brand new cut just made to his jaw falls on the ground pompous, but he also looks at Alford's movements crying about how he cares.

"What do you want in this land, swordsman of the islands? In the land where the people of Cliffonam dwell?

"... peace and tranquillity, and everyday.

As Hal responded to Alford, who slowly opened his mouth, Alford grinned sarcastically.

"Is it peace and tranquillity in the empire?

"You're not... just to be clear, I don't like the way the Empire is doing it now.

Alford further asks, having put a funny grin back on Hal's words.

"... Slowly, then, you mean to lead the people of Cliffonam to the empire?

"If necessary.

I assure you, Alford opens his eyes to Hal's words.

"... the successor of Altrius... that's what the good successor came for! Let's be happy with him.

Happy with Hull's last words, Alford can squeeze his expression and focus on his body.

Blistering and muscles swelled and muscles hung from his shoulders to his back rose.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Undecorative blows swung down from the Great Upper Stage, but fearful powers are caged in.

If it's meant to be, it's a blow you can't go without.

But Hal took it straight from the front.

The great sword, the sword, and the shocking sound of the moment the holy sword touched it.

Both heels of Hal I received dig the ground.

The wind broke out, and the shock and vibration struck the neighborhood so hard that Hull's arms and spine became pungent.

Exactly to the blow that risked his life and pride, Hal is about to drop his knee.

But Hull's knees, hips, and arms swelled up, which were building up rebellion.

"Ohhhh!

Mood flashes.

The antagonism was broken and Hal played Alford's sword.

And then the sound sounds like a thick cloth tapped.

Alford slowly collapsed to the ground in front of a slightly disturbed hull.

Traces of a sword carved into Alford's torso.

The slaughter, which broke the armor and reached the flesh, deeply tore Alford's abdomen.

"... brilliant.

Alford smiles satisfactorily and falls on his back.

Hal's eyes, who dropped off the look, saw Fried's bow warriors staring at the arrows at the same time, looking at themselves and squeezing their bows.
