Hagusa Spiritualist Examination Record - Knights of the Virgin and Healing Divinity

The main entrance to the fortress is on the east side, but there is also a hidden entrance on the west side. Diete, the archers, called it the 'back door', but he said it would be used often, except when he went back to the fortress with a great deal of notice to the soldiers.

When the soldiers guided him into the fortress through the back entrance, Mr. Diete first stopped at the armory on the first floor of the fortress.

"I can't believe this is going to be available in this phase... as His Highness has read, should I say that it is good that enemy soldiers have come to work? It would be ironic."

Things changed dramatically over the course of the night. The use of Zirconia's military vessels has made it possible to send a cohesive number of soldiers from this side to the Zirconia side, and to mount weapons on the military vessels themselves.

Artillery carried by Zirconia's task forces. Mr. Diete had ordered his men to prepare ammunition for use and a set of wheels for transport.

'Fire spears' made from artillery ammunition seem to be quite destructive as portable firearms, but they should still be a stronger trump card than 'fire spears' if they are available to carry the artillery itself.

◆ ◇ ◆

We headed between the roundtables, and shortly after we rested, we started a military debate.

"You should think that the enemy army has some kind of trump card as well. Or have you sent in task forces to try new weapons… Either way, we have to pay attention to enemy firearms"

"His Highness's intuition is also due to the guidance of the Divine Tree. Perhaps General Alejandro's troops have powerful firearms."

"Cannon...... or are you saying I'm going to use a powder cartridge, like Mr. Diete made it?

Fire spears, he said, are weapons that when impacted, explode and shoot out flaming bullets.

But what I asked my sister-in-law was that there is a weapon that turns a gunpowder explosion into propulsion and shoots metal bullets out of an iron barrel thinner than a firespear - it's called an 'iron fire barrel' and it has the power to penetrate the knight's armor and has the potential to significantly change the shape of the battle.

Fortunately, it hasn't been mass produced yet. And because of the weapons that are made in the south of our country, it is unlikely that Zirconia is deploying a large number of them. Nor have the soldiers equipped in action been witnessed, and the technique of making 'iron fire cylinders' is considered non-existent even if the necessary resources are available.

"Since gunpowder became used in warfare, I have come to believe that the age of knights is one day over. At first sight, you can see that those weapons, which take the lives of many soldiers from a distance, are sooner or later a substitute for swords, spears and bows. You'll be using a lot of mineral resources, but with shooting weapons as powerful as' Iron Fire Bottles, 'you won't have to build heavy armor to protect yourself"

His Royal Highness Astina guides the Changes in the Army. When the technology of the 'Iron Fire Cylinder' is passed on to Zirconia, which can produce large quantities of gunpowder, it becomes difficult for this Isle Rose Fortress to defeat the Zirconian army with only old weapons.

While we can cross with the formation of infantry and knights, and archers, we need to decide on the battlefield - we need to break Zirconia's will.

"It was found by those whom Glass had first interrogated that Zirconia had received arms supplies from our side of the country. I guess the number of soldiers is higher than ours, but the gear hasn't reached everyone...... I think we should wait and attack them from here before they send weapons to Zirconia on any other route. And we have to take General Alejandro..."

"Sister Raquel... I'll do it. Next time Alejandro comes out on the front line, I'll cut in and do whatever it takes to raise the rank."

"Wait, Presha. Speaking of you, I don't think you'll be able to attack a Zirconian soldier if he runs all over it."

"... still have to do it. Because that's all I can do for everyone who's dead."

The danger of Mr. Presha's inner packaging. I could understand now at this time what that was, even though I still felt it, that I didn't see clearly.

A renunciation by the fact that we have seen many deaths. In the battle, she was the same one with a sluggish heart. To end the battle, it has become my heart not to hate my sacrifice.

"... there is no way that throwing your life away can save something. That's nothing but pride. If you think of the thoughts of the dead, you must live."

From the beginning, it was what I thought.

Why was Mr. Presha so angry when he first took me to the dungeon and put me in the presence of the interrogation?

To kill her men, weapons flown by the betrayal of the Royal Army may have been used. That anger, she couldn't hit anything then.

If I make any suspicious moves, I'll kill you. Her mind was already at its limit when she said that, and still so far, she kept waving the spear.

I wonder why I was left doing nothing in front of her walking with the open wound intact. It's proof that you cared about all the wounds on your body and neglected to see your mind.

"... yeah. Okay... sorry, what happens if I protrude on my own Captain Attack... that's what's going to put my men at risk again"

"Until now, I was on the defensive side. I wasn't allowed to attack...... but not now. Your Highness fights to protect Lazennaia, that's the same."

There are those who try to convey it to the center by twisting and twisting it as just a 'breach of order', an act of rebellion.

Vaisek - that man who insulted His Highness Astina, without even mourning the soldiers who lost their lives.

"Your Highness, I thought you were keeping an eye on Weisek. His trend is…"

His Royal Highness Astina shows us a report from a secret detective.

With eyes on what was noted there, Mr. Raquel closes his eyes. And I grip my fist tightly on my desk, painfully and powerfully.

"... contact Haltner Reinfeldt, the head of the lavish family on the hospital bed. I bragged that if I ever worked with His Highness Astina to engage Zirconia, I would see it as a rebellion... If that were true, Weisek would..."

Following central orders, we are moving to avert an all-out war with Zirconia - not such a beautiful one.

In order to break His Highness Astina's legs, he is set up to lose the battle against Zirconia.

"Why is that all the way through... now it's like..."

Mr. Diete has already thought of it, too. Weisek behaves so bystanders because he has a powerful man behind him.

I have to tell you now what Noyne told me. Until now, I only knew I was a 'royal man', who was my insider with Zirconia...

"... His Highness Astina. It is Queen Cassandra who goes to Zirconia and Jorg Frost, a court magician who works with her."

The Second Queen is about to let her son, the Prince, inherit the throne. Even I, a student, knew that in rumors, so they couldn't have known.

But there was no certainty. Even if there were, it would not have been a reason to turn the flag against His Highness Astina immediately - or to appeal directly to the King to rebut the Second Queen's actions.

It is true that she is hostile to Zirconia, and because this fortress serves as a shield to protect the people, she has looked only at the matter and continues to fight.

"… to hold down enemy strongholds and suppress any further incursions. Making Zirconia approve of a ceasefire. I have to make it happen. Even if Cassandra is trying to ostracize me, she wants to get to the table for once."

"Why… Your Majesty the King should be acknowledging His Highness Astina's achievements. That means not listening at all…"

To Mr. Raquel's advance, His Highness Astina shook her head quietly.

I can't hide it in the expression of His Highness, who never collapses.

Hairing up like a golden thread, His Highness has eyes that look somewhere far away.

I know I'm connected to her via the Divine Tree. What she feels is loneliness.

She could not properly receive love from her father or from her mother, and she still cannot think of her parents as allies. Because sweetness in that way weakens my heart, which I have fought as a knight - so much so that I discipline myself harshly.

"His Majesty the King asks Master Cassandra for a place of mind. That is something I cannot do… My mother was sick and weak and could not always be beside Her Majesty as queen. I have heard that marrying Master Cassandra, who was a child of a house equal to my mother's, has relieved my heart much. Now, even if I rebuff Master Cassandra, Your Majesty will only try to keep me away from the army."

"Even if the Second Queen is about to crumble this country? If you forgive her arbitrariness, this western realm will be truncated. Many people will die just to satisfy Lady Cassandra's personal desire to let Her Highness Astina lose her legs."

"... whichever way you choose, it's Tsubaki's way. If you are going to fight your country, it will also affect the morale of the soldiers. Because some people have families in the center."

This Knights retreat is cramped. Neither can His Majesty the King expect me to be on his side - Zirconia is not strange whenever he strikes.

But if we leave Weisseck alone, he will continue to work in Western territory - and if the people ruled by the luxury cease to cooperate with us, this fortress can sometimes come to an end in the form of food shortages.

I do not regard Western territories as important and I do not think it is ok to cut them off. Even if His Majesty the King is unaware of Queen Cassandra's intentions, the status quo has become so - if so.

"... rather than being ravaged with territory by Zirconia. While we maintain our ability to continue fighting, we should establish a system of governance so that the Western territories can defend themselves with their own will."

"By your own will...... Glass, you know what that means?

"The enemy is attacking across the canal. They're breaking the border. Don't fight it back, it doesn't form a body as an order anymore"

The same is true that Queen Cassandra has ordered Her Royal Highness Astina to take responsibility when she allows Zirconia to break in, or to die a war of honor.

I know nothing of His Highness Astina's previous efforts or distress. I am committing too great a sin for the purpose of making my still young son king sooner or later.

"… as an independent, I rule the Western territories. You say you should."

"Yes, that is the only way to continue to gain the people's cooperation and maintain the strength of the fortress. After the rebels continue to emerge, it will be irrevocable."

By explaining to the people why His Royal Highness becomes a lord and fights Zirconia, we root not to easily trust the rhetoric (zan) of the forces that interfere with it - I think we need to detain him about Weisek, but even then his replacement will just be sent.

"Previously, on behalf of His Majesty the King, he was only acting on behalf of the order. You can't blame him for his actions in any way you've ever done to seal Weisek's movements."

"Your Highness draws the blood of His Majesty the King, the one who has the legitimate right to inherit the throne. If you weren't a knight, you'd get a partner and become a lord."

"Right...... right. If His Highness Astina hadn't become a knight..."

"In that case, we would not have received territory, which would have been used as a material for a political strategy to form an alliance with the enemy countries. I'm glad I chose to take the sword. I still thank His Majesty the King for his permission... but..."

To His Majesty the King - point the sword at his father. If you declare yourself to be the ruler of the Western territories, a party of Queen Cassandra will always interpret it that way.

Ever since I first saw His Highness, I've felt the sanctity of human separation. I wondered if this would ever move emotions more visibly - because it was too perfect.

The girlfriend is shaking her hand. Hold your own body so as to hold back the tremor.

Mr. Raquel was in tears when he saw him. Mr. Presha, Mr. Diete, stands up to rush over - but before that, His Highness told him to squeeze out with a trembling voice.

"... even under the defamation of a traitor. Even if His Majesty the King abandons me... I must protect the people who believe in the Knights. And I want to walk with you all as one nation."

Mr. Presha covers his face. Mr. Diete stays on his knees, unable to raise his face.

Leslie, who's been standing beside me and listening, touches me on the shoulder. The hand was trembling and Leslie was crying to push him to death.

The light is far away and the bright road is not spreading ahead.

But no matter how narrow and steep the road, if there is a way - if His Highness is here, none of us will lose hope.

"It will be judged in the next battle whether the people will recognize me. I will defeat Alejandro."

I don't wear 'General'. I guess that's because His Highness Astina recognised once again that he was the one who had to be defeated.

Mr. Presha wipes his eyes, keeping a bright red eye, upright and hands on his chest.

Mr. Raquel and Mr. Diete will do the same. His Highness slipped out the glowing silver sword, put his forehead on the bundle and prayed before offering it forward.

The three people who always use spears and bows also wear swords on their hips. A knight's pride, the sword - the four with it, I felt the most dazzling ever.

I am honored to be present here. At the same time, anxiety about the difficulties ahead - the emotions that gush beyond them.

"We fight together, we live together, we pledge to fulfill together more than this. In the name of Astina-Lazennaia, we will launch Operation Zirconia."

Goosebumps wrapping around the whole body. How brave their appearance inspired the hearts of the people - I just imagined it, my heart trembled.

"" "- To Our Knights, Glory be to You!
