Fly the Flag of Fire!

Episode 122: Don't Fight with Strict Courage

The brave and the dragon general consult.

Northbound Knights of the Holy Grail will perish. Marco Hahato is an unconscious weight.

Rumors like that have blown like a cold wave that won't last long, causing unspoken cold air in every corner of the kingdom. Nobles and civilians alike are bluishing and shivering their complexions without distinction. Everyone is terrified of war. He's frightened and frightened that something terrible is going on.

"... so I see a floating raw man!

Leo Salmant, who glanced at the scroll marked with a surprising letter and held the countenance on his shoulders, was lonely to bite. It is a secret book that has just arrived from the Wang capital. It contains impeccable content.

Says there is disturbing air in Wang Du.

A force is interested in rebelling against the valiant and the Knights of the Holy Grail for their bowed treachery and demands that the Queen explain her apology to the Church. Condemnation was also made of the house arrest of Bishop Joaquim Beck as to where information had been leaked from. Besides, they are widely hustling and hustling about those speeches, so let's just say that the activity is swordswallowing from the beginning.

There are those in the nobility who align themselves with that claim, not only in the south, but also in the north, and it is still subject to doubt that the ceremony of the reign was done not by priests belonging to the Oriental Church but by special parish monks. The same applies to Hiltura Border Bob and the development of the plague that he is carrying out in the first place.

Leo finds it horrible. This is what God's power is.

People are beginning to deny from the edge of their eyes all the new era that has moved through civil unrest to the point where they are fearful of becoming disgraceful. We are trying to awe God by pushing the dynamic politics, the economy, the society… this new kingdom of Asuria back into what was previously constrained.

Exactly because you can't blame the Queen directly, or three people are being slandered on her behalf.

The first is Severi Kalisalmi, the former uncle. There is talk of him as a madman when he was the first to be attacked by the sacred flag.

Says he is a proud man who makes himself as drunk as he is drunk, and with his narrow horizons rapidly changes the colour of the flag. In the civil unrest, he surrendered to the north without showing any will, and, if he lost his title, he attacked the Knights of the Holy Grail in search of battle like a rabid dog. The total annihilation would be natural......

The second is Lucas Yuriharsila, the son of the lead nobleman Yuriharsila family. I have a saying about him as a fool who stood up to the brave with his military rights as me.

Says he is a bizarre man who was born of Kwon Mun but made him an ignorant and obscure man, and no less smiling from his carelessness. Without training himself, he drowned in the excitement of commanding a strong soldier, and deviated from an inept battle by imagining himself comparable to both the brave and General Dragon. Destruction would mean that one of us would have fled and would have been cowardly...

And the third is Dragon General Marco Hahato. There are rhetoric that insults and disparages him to the point where he is also seen as the hero of the new age and future king.

Said he was a man who fought like a beast with a love affair that could not give up his identity to the princess, making him the birth of a village on the periphery sinking in the devastation of the people and the corrosion of his temper. Misunderstood that it was conveniently used by the Marquis Uliharsilla because of its youth and lack of blood background, and showed his thoughts of heroism, and the savagery of leading a private soldier, such as a fire, to run wild resembles the horse thief's crude.

The face of loyalty and patriotism is false. Make him a rare grower, a man of lawlessness and upbringing... he may or may not be cunning. There is a tragedy of war as prepared before he runs. He was built on the scourge of war. It's an allegation of disaster.

If it's not all coincidence, maybe he's the demon who showed up in the new era. The brave man may only have manifested himself in the world to argue with him. The brave man may have done his mission beautifully.

If you are a man of piety and respect for culture, shouldn't now be the time to carry on after the holy work of the brave?

Shouldn't we punish Marco Hahato and correct all the vices that allowed him to bounce?

Isn't that the only means for people to respond to God's love?

Summing up everything about the new age of the kingdom as being the sin department of a single individual named Marco Hahato, the intention is to restore sanctity to the nation by rejudicating this… that is the argument.

"Church......!!

The grip cannot be weakened and the text shakes. Leo had refused to allow his uncanny movements in the King's capital to be at the initiative of the Church. Perhaps everything was ready before Joaquim Beck's king's capital entered. Whatever consequences the actions of the brave must have had, it must have been an outpouring of praise and criticism of the new kingdom.

And even the moves that must not be made are in the Wang capital, he said.

It is the national army.

While greatly undermining its strength in the war against the Empire, it is now the Kingdom's largest army, which was undergoing restructuring by the time it counted 50,000 five divisions. Its commanding power is the flag of a dragon that exists only two times on the continent… in the Kingdom of Asuria it is assumed to be attached to a flag called the East Dragon Flag. It is the king of kingdom who presides over the flag.

But Queen Paulina has not adorned the back of the throne with the Dong Long flag. It has not declared the possession of the right of command.

The Dong Long flag is loaned by the Archbishop of the Orient in order to comply with the strict laws of statehood. None of them have issued any orders to arm themselves. As things stand, it can also be said that the national army is half independent of national politics.

There is also an ominous smell in the National Army.

No apparent anomalies have been particularly confirmed. Under the supervision of the Crown, the army continues to restore its power in good order. But there was a disturbance at a different location from the military facility. It is a liquor store for high-ranking officers and the Wangdu Mansion of the Southern Nobility. Night clubs and rallies are held day after day. There are suspicions that several National Army officers are acting in harmony with the Queen's critical forces.

Or what was expected. Because there was human resource pollution by the Church as a fact found by the end of the civil unrest.

It revolved around the shocking content that those who grew up in church-run orphanages were acting as assassins rather than spies. There is also a customary context in which such born persons have been preferentially recruited by servants and soldiers. After discovery, proficiency surveys and ideological tests were thoroughly conducted, and changes in personnel were observed in all settings.

It's not enough, even then. Because even if their origins and identities are apparent, there are numerous people who have connected themselves with the Church, even in National Army officers and national political bureaucrats.

I don't know if that motive is due to profit or doctrine. It would also have the aspect that those who were disadvantaged in the domestic force map of the new era sought the means of gaining power. There have also been multiple confirmations of forces opposed to the plan to exploit the plain. There are still voices questioning the qualities of Queen Paulina. The more arguing one way or another, the more problems there are. The kingdom is still far from a single rock.

And now the crisis is upon us. The discord is shivering heaven and earth in the kingdom.

Retreat the Emperor. With that great momentum that calmed the civil unrest in the kingdom, there is a feeling that all kinds of things that remained potential have surfaced at once. Leo has identified the hang-up as just one thing.

It's Marco Hahato.

The fall of that awesome man brought millions of dangers to the kingdom.

He was just huge as an individual. There was something called intimidation that he would unleash just to be present, and that covered the kingdom extensively. His presence was a major prerequisite and an absolute condition for the new era.

In fact, it's all his business.

He is involved in all important military victories, both in the war against the Empire and in the civil unrest in the Kingdom. Exactly. Always undefeated. No enemies on the way. Its military talent will be recorded in the history of war and will no longer disappear as long as the history of men continues. Without exaggeration, Leo is so sure.

But his performance is not limited to the military. The reconstruction of the northern part of the kingdom and the restructuring of the economic structure of the north and south, among other things, are making a powerful move forward in the new era of the kingdom. It brings vitality to people's fortunes.

It's about art when it comes to something he doesn't have talent for, but where he does it, he provides his appearance as a subject matter for painting and opera and a history of war.

He's the alleged disaster? I'm not kidding. He will be the leader of innovation.

Leo thinks so too.

I wonder if the history of future generations, when speaking of Queen Paulina, will be appreciated only as a monarch with the loyalty of Marco Hahato. And I was wondering if that would be more than anything else.

At least I can't do anything to Leo to gain the loyalty of Marco Hahato. I can't even imagine. That's not all he talks about.

Daniel Hackinen, Axeli Arnell, Oiva Otara, Lauri, Yarucco...... and Kuster.

It is the same for those brilliant men, who seem to have made a vow of subordination to him before he gained a special general position. I am convinced that it cannot be my own subordination.

Marco Hahato's fall made him feel unintentional, and that renewed his consciousness.

My body and mind are light.

It may be an illusion, but Leo didn't feel like he had lost his weight to Russia. Something tense breaks off, and I feel my strength slip out of my tense body. Its hips are heavy. My legs don't move forward. Together I want to throw everything out and leave myself to the flow.

Leo remembered this feeling. It was when I was a youth. Days between the sickness of a courageous and strict father and his inheritance of the Earl of Salmant...... the breadth of the world was reflected in other personnel, while the room where he would wake up wrapped Leo with rustic charm. I remember that strange sense of liberation in the morning when I couldn't hear my father.

Strict father or who is Marco Hahato.

Weren't the nineteen-year-old heroes present in such a way as to teach the kingdom an exhortation?

If so, the men who have ordained him Lord are ministers as well as sons. Found in his fatherhood, much anticipated and rigorously trained… he must be sharpening his talent to an area that cannot be reached only by the person in question. Should I also say that it is an offer of innovation? That the men's brilliance has a reason.

There will be a bond between them that no one else can enter into. And that's hope, Leo thinks.

The previous crisis has been resolved by Marco Hahato with his awesomeness. That is the harsh truth. But not this time. Because frozen rumors are infinitely close to the truth. He has fallen, even victorious over the brave. I hear there's nothing else in life, but I can't demonstrate that talent. I can't let go of that presence.

The current crisis that strikes the kingdom must be overcome without the power of a giant named him.

"My lord, the Knights of the Holy Grail hope to see you..."

"Apologize."

I spoke blocking the voice of those under my command. Continue without making me say two sentences.

"I ordered you not to let the messenger through. I should have let Leo Salmant tell him he was ill. He's taking bitter potion water and sleeping, so add that you wait until he recovers."

I think that's it, and the distribution stays on the spot against orders. If you look at your face with something, you say complicated tensions tangled in your expression.

"I'm not a messenger. The commander is here."

"Is that the little girl? Making it with the Church......!

Leo stood up with indignation as his driving force. It also took effort to restrain myself from hitting things. I walked out into the tent on my big crotch.

This place is in formation. Five thousand Salmant army troops are on standby in a state of imminent battle.

The location is to the southwest of Kalisalmi territory and to the south to see the border with Etheramaki territory. Under cloudy weather, which may be day or evening, the Earl's flag makes a damp noise in a disturbing breeze. A wooden wall is set up between the rock cliffs to prepare for the south, while a wooden fence is also tripled across the main formation to the north. It's ready for the north.

This incredible form is based on a design document given in advance by Marco Hahato. Leo still thinks. I wonder if the emergence of the brave was foreseen. Because that would convince me of a variety of things.

This fortress, built like a plug in the land of majesty... after you want to let the brave pass, you hold back the additional soldiers, and do not miss out on the brave men who may have defeated depending on the matter... Wasn't it prepared for that?

A few questions remain. It is forbidden to build a yakura on the north side. The drying is also limited to the north side only between the wooden fence and the wooden fence. Compared to the south side, which builds enough facilities, it's an unfortunate design.

Is that a sign of confidence that we will not miss the brave to this land? Or something that hated that the army's morale caged inside?

In any case, it is the current situation that the threat exists only on the south side.

The Holy Grail Knights are building a field position. There are indications that what was at first a thousand and three hundred troops has swelled several times in the last few days. The number of cooking smokes that go up is different. The number of flags flown is different. The force of the war spirit that is unleashed is different.

It could be about today or tomorrow.

The smell of a polished struggle on many battlefields is giving Leo a hunch of the beginning of the battle. Every breath comes and goes from the back of the nose to the lower abdomen. I don't know. I have the power to rise to my body. Sleep became shallow, and the more the night became brighter than it always was. Instinct is coming to war before reason.

So when it came to the south gate, everything was in order. Leo climbed the stairs in such a way that he would declare war or receive it, and he appeared above the wooden wall.

"Is that it? Brave, huh? You said you weren't feeling well... it's a surprise Nina."

Momentarily aware of his intention to kill, Leo glanced at one of the three horsemen who was not even disembarking in front of the gate.

A blonde girl knight who is about out of place in this land of tension is there following the Holy Knight by both sides. When I was a year I was younger than Marco Hahato or Lucas Uliharsilla. I would be older than my youngest daughter Sandra, but when it comes to the tone of voice, this one is more childish than ever, and that's what I care about.

His name is Nina Ursula. Hard to believe is he who commands the Holy Knight in office.

"No bullshit. Let me ask you something."

"Open the gate? Through us? We must retrieve the body of the brave man. We have to take you to Holy Grail Island. If you're a man of the kingdom, you know how holy that is, don't you?

Put your hands together and say to your superiors. The force goes into the fist.

"No. The Knights of the Holy Grail do not recognize such rights of free passage within the Kingdom's territory. The fact that you're stationed in Eteramaki territory is a serious problem."

"Have the brave men come to you?

"... the kingdom has no gateway to shut against the valiant men of the sacrament. That does not mean, however, that it also applies as it is to the Knights of the Holy Grail. If it is an army led by a brave man, let it pass. Otherwise, even if it was led by the Archbishop of the Orient, it would not pass."

"Keep the brave man alive?

"... General Ryu defeated this relative to the brave and after reaching the battle. If General Ryu became a hero of the kingdom, I would question the actions of the brave men who directed their armies against him."

"Hmm... that's what I'm saying. Count Salmant is going to take the bait for a brave man?

Leo tried to retain his character even though he was angered by his gesture and the way he spoke.

"Hey, if not for the brave men ahead, the late, or the Earl, who was only a slave in the diaspora. Hey, monkey territory or pete territory, countess who just didn't die by chance because of such a whim on the part of the Imperial Army. Is that really what I'm supposed to say? You're saying to the brave man who embodies the will of God in his honor that the Count has done so much? If you're curious, you're doomed, but like a nation? You just admit you're a privileged class in that domestic law, that kind of folklore? I don't even realize the disrespect I'm looking down at the flag of God, and I'm saying something extremely, very big about the idiot... it's Nina at the end of the line."

Did you try, should I say?

"I am also very suspicious that your lord is the Holy Knight, but I am also saying that I no longer know whether whoever passed through here earlier was a brave man or His Royal Highness Sister Wang, or just a touched woman. Or something that the Church has a problem with miracles and twitching sacraments and doings? It is untenable to say that the previous generations will continue to lose their lives in the middle of their purpose even to the present generation. I can hear God's will."

I uttered something swirling in the bottom of my belly in words.

The response was exchanged with a sharp cut of the wind, and Leo slashed it away by a swing of the pluck.

Arrows.

That is what the killing spirit, which I had sensed from the moment of the beginning of the questioning, came to fruition in the form of a single arrow. Looks like he was lurking in his wife, another ride besides the three horsemen he could see. Leo doesn't deliver his sword to the sheath. Anger is also revealed and I just look down at the girl laughing on the horse.

"Haha! A man who blasphemed God pulled his sword toward the Knights of the Holy Grail! haha!

"The outrage against the Six Horsemen of the Kingdom of Asaria is now confirmed here with this eye."

Point your fingers at each other, say.

"You're a traitor! haha! I hereby take the place of the Divine Punishment as my holy duty to keep the flag of God!

"With that madness, I presume to be a thief who calls the Knights of the Holy Grail a nickname. If you open it, disarm and lay low on the ground."

The girl's laughter leaves, and the Holy Grail Knights send their troops neatly.

Leo issues an order and the Salmant Army moves in defense.

Together, five thousand soldiers... Leo roared to see it... and here the two armies, totaling ten thousand, began the battle over the land of the havoc.
