00086 The Age of Assumptions

“Fall back.”

Fritz von Rosenberg said. The Bone Dragon shines in his gray eyes. A hundred Red Boar Knights turn their heads in the words of von Rosenberg. They didn't have any questions.

The deputy said:

“Mr. President, it's Barbatos. The Moon Blind is almost certain. ”

“Efficiency has led to an underdeveloped monarch of bone. ”

The Earl's cold voice flows. Although his voice was small enough to be buried in the hooves of a horse, it was clearly heard in the ears of a knight who had developed superior senses than ordinary humans.

“It's not efficiency, it's justification. Barbato intervenes in a war that requires a cause. ”

“Of course. That's why you're a lunar soldier. ”

“You must report to the Emperor. ”

The deputy smiled bitterly.

“Are you sure you want to respond properly? ”

“I don't expect anything in the middle. But the Crown Prince is in the islands. He needs to take control of the army. ”

The deputy opened his eyes wide.

“You want me to report to the Emperor before I report to the Emperor? ”

“Speak up for differences of three hours. In three hours, the Crown Prince will have enough contact with the Central Army Command. ”

In exchange for protecting the border, the Change Bag family was granted immense freedom. They were able to rally more than the national legislation allowed, and were exempt from various obligations. He was like the king of a region. Of course, in the middle of the empire, he thought the change bags could provoke rebellion at any time.

The reason the change bag has not been accused of rebellion for the past five hundred years was simple. The change bag always supported a legitimate successor. No matter how trashy the Crown Prince may seem, even at the height of his incompetence, the change bags supported him as the first successor. By acting consistently, the change bag was able to take a step back from the central political fight.

“By the end of the war, the Third Empress will be lost. ”

“It's not the Empress. Earl Eva Triee.”

Earl Rosenberg insists.

The first emperor, the emperor, was incompetent because he resembled his father. I was not only incompetent, but also lacking in character. There was one secret shared between very few nobles. It was that the first prince raped his sister together with his brothers. After a series of rapes, the Crown Prince's sister and the First Princess committed suicide. It's been known to be sick and dead for years.

The deputy asked carefully.

“Mr. President, will the Habsburg Empire fall?" ”

“We could perish. ”

If the central gate beekeepers overheard the conversation, they would be frightened. Immediately, the imperial offense and national treason were applied, and there was no excuse for the death of the three generations. But neither deputy nor Earl Rosenberg, nor any of the hundred knights, frowned or frowned. For them, the empire was merely a tool.

“There are two ways. One is the way the Empire survives. Earl Eva tries to overtake the Crown Prince and take the throne. The Empire will be in chaos, but it will be difficult to regenerate. However, in this case, our change bag will be destroyed. ”

“What's the other one? ”

“It is the way for the Empire to perish. ”

Earl Rosenberg said in a cold voice.

“The Crown Prince inherits the throne. The Empire will rot inside and collapse soon enough. But the reason that our change bags didn't rebel against the state until the end, is that we focus solely on the protection of humanity. Even if the empire falls and a new country is built, our sincerity will be recognized. ”

The future of the empire. Or the future of the family. Or the future of mankind... The deputy said while thinking about it.

“What will you do if Earl Evatri takes over?" ”

“It would be better to create an epic end than to be treated as a traitor's family. ”

The Earl's gray eyes glow dark.

“Allies with other change bags to attack beyond the Black Mountains. We will be completely surrounded and exterminated. However, the Change Bag family remains the guardian of humanity until the end of history. Then I will owe you. You may be destroyed.”

He has a cynical mouth.

“It's only one life after all. It is a glorious extinction. ”

A young blonde. A man who was the commander of Red Mountain early entered the old stable. The stable on the outskirts of the city is worn out, so it looks like no one is using it. It was a disguise. It was a place where members of one group were secretly contacted.

The young man pulled out the hidden crystal shaft in the corner of the building. The crystal sphere illuminates as you recite the spell. After a while, a blue light leaks from the crystal sphere. The light forms a shallow curtain and projects a woman there.

The young man said.

“Sister, von Rosenberg has returned. ”

“Just now? ”

“Well, given the time it took me to get here, it's been about 20 minutes. ”

The woman snores.

“I haven't heard from the Empress. Apparently von Rosenberg decided to serve the jackass. It's an old-fashioned artifact. ”

“Uh, well…… it didn't seem like such a bad person. ”

The woman frowned and looked at the young man. The young man laughed as if he was in trouble.

“W-what am I going to do? ”

“Ahh... The Empress has ordered us to act with the cavalry. ”

“Wait, you're not suggesting we fight the Moon Mercenaries, are you? ”

The young man pleaded with me for help. The woman sighs.

“What are you going to do with a hundred horsemen? The Moon Mercenaries will sway the north side of the continent over the Red Mountain. Of course, there will be panic. Gather the people together and form a medical force. You need to become a medical sergeant from now on. I'll have the funds ready in a week. ”

“No, ma'am. Does any medical sergeant do that? ”

The young man cried.

“You need some fame to lead Mincho. I'm no better than the local she-camel. And it's a crest, a crest. A lost shield of red acidity. ”

“Impersonation is simple. ”

“Yes?”

The woman smiled.

“I heard you and the cavalry were wiped out by the acidic defenders. Then disguising yourself shouldn't be too hard. They borrow the names of some of the most famous men in the garrison. Master of Reversal, the only one to lead and survive in Red Castle. We'll just have to push through with that impression. ”

“ ……. ”

The young man twitched his chin.

“... I see. Well, I guess I'll just have to explain to the cavalry that I borrowed the deceased's name in order to get the medics. It won't be hard to convince them that this will eventually lead to the vengeance of the defensive forces. ”

“Yes. Who has the same name as you? ”

“Kurz.”

The young man smiled beautifully.

“Kurzschleigh, please. ”

“Red Acid Commander-in-Charge? Well, that's more like it. I'll give you an ID when you wire the funds. Although the name is a little too cute for your personality. ”

“That's too much. What's wrong with me...? ”

A woman and a young man. The two were the shadow of a princess.

They sacrificed everything for the establishment of the empire and for the power of the Empress. They had no names or identities. Became an alchemist and assassin as needed.

“Don't pretend to be an abomination naive. You were gonna take care of it at the right time anyway, weren't you? ”

“But that was... too bad. ”

The young man sighed.

“He was a good man, but he had no interest in Her Highness. Soldiers who are unfaithful to the Empire are unfortunate, but must be excluded. ”

He mutters.

“It's fortunate that the Moon Blind are moving properly. The guards were wiped out before I could move. Well, if I did wrong, Kurzschleigh would have been the only one left behind to die. I just tipped off the fact that the enemy is ahead of the Moon Blind... Well... They said they want to stay and die. ”

The woman looked at the young man with bored eyes.

“You ended up killing all the guards with one word. You can't afford to be naughty. ”

“Well, I didn't kill him. They killed themselves. Please don't drive me into a strange person.... ”

The woman shakes her head. In her view, the young man was fine on the outside, but rotting from the ground up. I was truly loyal to Her Majesty. As long as I had the ability and loyalty, I could spare you the trouble of toughness.

“Well done anyway. Keep up the good work. Don't forget to report how von Rosenberg behaves. ”

“The Queen Dowager's army cannot escape the war by the Moon Blind, and the Crown Princess who controls the military is here to solve the situation at once... The Empress is always good.“ It's a word for Her Royal Highness, an obstinate mistress. ”

“Well, that's just it. Don't get knifed for no reason. ”

The young man caught the woman trying to disappear from the crystal ball.

“Oh, Sister. Wait, I have a question. ”

“What?”

“The Empress. How did you know the lunar army was invading so early? ”

The young man frowned.

“That's weird. It's too fast. Although our shadow is capable, there are no spies in the Demon King's army. ”

“Kurz.”

“Yes?”

The woman smiled.

“Never mind. You'll get hurt if you know.”

The light has gone out from the crystal sphere. The stable is deserted.

The young man sighed a long time.

The 6th Legion of the Monthly Blind occupies the Black March passageway. ― ― News swiftly struck the entire Demon Prince army.

More than half the troops have not even marched yet. In the meantime, the fact that the Sixth Army had prepared a beachhead for an early continental invasion was not bad news for the proud Demon Monarchs. Even the Demon Kings who had been running late were in a hurry to prepare their troops.

The 2nd and 3rd legions went ahead, so they went behind the scenes and held a ceremony. The fourth platoon was quiet because back-up was the mission. The 5th Legion was made up of only two Demon Kings, so they left without any commotion. With the exception of the seventh legion of Baal alone, the first legion remains.

It was a mountain army led by Pymon.

She glances down at the map. Next to him, the twelfth highest ranked Citri after Pymon in the mountains was chattering.

“Oh, Sis. It really pisses the kids off. The mountain tribes are slow in movement.Where did they sell their pride? I wanted to pierce their backs. ”

Citri was famous for her eccentric lust. First of all, she had both male and female penises. Born a woman, but undergoes sophisticated surgery to the genital organs of men. So far, nothing has been greatly flawed. If it was intentionally positive like Citri, it was quite unusual in the horse system. The problem was that she was a Goblin, an Orc, and enjoyed having sex with all kinds of people. Pleasure and generous witches hated it here.

There were many women and men who liked to be impaled by monsters. However, there were very few people who liked crashing into monsters. In this regard, Citri strongly criticized the current landscape of the machete by stating that 'the one who hits, the party is also obliged’. Of course, Citri's criticism did not elicit any reaction other than frightening the Mind Society.

“Sis! Are you listening to me? ”

“Of course. Why would I ignore Citri? ”

Citri pounces.

“Sometimes I don't know what you're thinking. What do you gain by informing humans that the Moon Blind has assembled? ”

“You shall have it. ”

Pymon chuckles.

“Lots. Lots of them. ”
