Hyaku Ma No Aruji

Following the signing of the Alliance of Four Kings, the Four Kings began a meeting on strategies and tactics against Mouseg.

The Four Kings' views on Mooseg were common in that 'we should hit the lead'.

Only Harsim had different grounds for that view, but the Three Kings also have common grounds.

"Come here. If we don't sharpen Mooseg's momentum, we can't really get our hands on it"

The Three Kings were convinced at the time the hypothesis arose that if they had been inverted and attacked.

Such a hypothesis came to mind because this point, so to speak, was a watershed.

Whether you fight it or scratch it down, if you decide around here, you won't be able to take it back.

In contrast, Harsim's insides are slightly different.

Hersim had to strike his hand early, 'to help the Demon King'.

There is no longer a step of retreat, such as going down to Harsim.

We just have to move on.

Coup d 'état. But only to make this alliance of the Four Kings true.

If you screw any one of them up, Harsim will be ruined.

Even if we help the Demon King, we must show it to the Three Kings as if it were a planned harmony.

Do not let them discern that the words spinning against Kirishika were lies.

Harsim worked that tactical thought, with great care, and pulled the Four Kings talks.

◆ ◆ ◆

Thus it was on the eve when the sun was about to set that the dense Four Kings meeting marked the first end.

You can't stay in the kingdom of Zuria with Harsim.

In order to be a liaison officer, he decided to place his subordinate, who had kept him waiting in advance in the city, at Castle Zuria with the permission of Kirisica, and to return again to the Lemuse home country.

Now while hiding his face, Hersim, once out of the 'gate' of Castle Zuria, told Aisha, who had refrained next door,

"I'm so glad you're not going to crawl out of that dusty aisle until you get home."

"Not at all, sir"

That's how I shrugged my shoulder and showed it to him.

Then, as if waiting for the two of them out of the castle, there is one shadow that when you do, will draw the hedge apart and run over.

He is a common-style man who is blending into the people waves of King Zuria's people.

However, only the beauty beauty was cared for, and Hershey and Aisha, who looked familiar to such beauty beauty beauty beauty beauty beauty beauty, soon realized who the man was.

- Master Harsim.

"You kept me waiting, Reynald."

It is that Uncle Reynald.

Reynald came with Harsim to the kingdom of Zuria and waited alone in the castle city for Harsim, who broke into the castle in an undesirable way. It made me a lot more annoyed.

One of Aisha's immediate scouts was informed that Harsim was safe along the way, so the waves in his heart became calm from rough to rough waves or so, but he was unlikely to be able to stop the waves themselves until he actually made sure he was safe with those eyes.

That way, deliberately rubbing tea in a terraced tea shop or other place where the gate could be seen, and looking only at the city's newspapers, I find two shadows like it at the edge of my sight that were concentrating all of my consciousness.

I called out to the pavilion owner of the store, put a lot more money on my desk as a thank you for staying long, and walked over to those two shadows early enough.

"Sorry it took so long."

"No, I had received reports that Miss Aisha's 'friends' were able to sneak in well, so I had a first relief. Well, I just forgot how many cups of tea I had at that store."

"Haha, sooner or later we'll drop it at public expense"

Harsim glanced at Aisha and laughed deliberately, "You're as unplugged as ever," he said to Reynald in prank.

"I would like to inform Hersim as soon as possible."

"Hmm?"

Then, Reynald corrected his collar softly, so much so that he had a fun laugh.

Harsim didn't miss that Reynald's face got a little steep either.

Therefore, similarly correct the collar and put the drink (and) in the tired head again in the talks.

"Anything wrong?

"Example, about the demon kings"

Reynald put the word on his mouth, making sure there were no people around him.

"'I found it'. I found..."

Harsim finds herself unwittingly aware of the backwards words before she thinks "do it".

"I have faster legs than I expected. Already left the" Principality of Neus-Gaus ", trying to circle slightly from the south towards the Lemuse."

"That's a route you don't even wish for. There was still room for choice in terms of the Three Kingdoms or Lemuse, but they must probably be headed for Lemuse while stopping further south from Neus-Gaus. - It's an ideal route."

"I'm getting lucky," Harsim wanted to add.

but to see Reynald's complexion, I guess that's not all.

So I decided to put my judgment on hold for one second.

"- So? Something you don't like?

Reynald nodded with a mysterious face to Hershem's urging.

"… At the same time, there are reports that battalions have moved out of the Mooseg Kingdom mainland. It was passed down in the Wind Bird's message, but given the time difference, I was wondering if Mooseg had already traveled that distance, too."

"- Right."

Harsim rounds his eyes just a little, but wasn't as reactive as he said he was surprised.

"... I see, then the fact that the Demon Kings' feet are fast becomes a necklace? Well, I see."

Harsim stroked his chin with his finger at the thought, roaring several times.

"Well, it is assumed that other armies will come out of the Mooseg country. At Lindholm Spiritual Mountain, Celias found a line of demon kings, so at that point, he must have sent an order to set up a search line in his country. I guess you're ready for that.

- So, what are the chances that the Demon Kings will reach Lemuse before that Mooseg army?

"I don't know, that's all"

"Well, I guess. - Forgive me, Reynald, I asked you something mean."

There is a time difference in information.

Unless it's an eye that sees everything floating in heaven, but using birds and horses really takes time to get around.

In anticipation of them, Harsim used arithmetic, but it was only a prediction as well.

I forgot to sleep and stuck in the room, and with that brilliant brain I calculated many patterns, but naturally I don't expect to get the answers that started that way.

Harsim also understood the negative meaning of Reynald's phrase "faster than expected".

Harsim derived it from arithmetic, and the Demon Kings' feet were faster than that.

"A detour from the south."

Harsim crushes again, like organizing information.

"- Too far south, that could be a problem."

Stopping by to the south and detouring, naturally, is predicting the pursuit of Mooseg.

To get away from the moozeg, to get around.

But at the same time, it is a trajectory that leaves' even from the Three Kingdoms'.

"So I have nothing to say to you if you will escape the demon hand of Mooseg."

If they are trying to slip through Mooseg's demon hands by detouring south, and complete their journey as they think it is, as a hersim, I can hope or hope.

I think that's extra because I'm getting the certainty that I'm on my way to Lemuse.

In contrast, if Mooseg succeeds in sliding himself between the Demon Kings and Lemuse, that's probably where the battle breaks out.

Harsim naturally expected that to happen as one of the possibilities.

Therefore, an alliance with the three countries was attached, along with the implications of insurance for that time.

But in that case, the Demon Kings' feet are fast becomes a problem.

"Damn, too good is a problem."

If you go too fast, the armies of the Three Kingdoms may not be able to make it when they hear where the war is taking place and then move to reinforcement.

There's an assumption there that Mooseg's legs are commensurately fast and he can slip himself between the Demon Kings and Remusse - but at the time that assumption is cleared, the Harsims will no longer have room to argue.

The encounter begins immediately.

"When that happens - don't let 'where the war starts' get pretty important..."

The position of the armies of the three countries at the time of the war.

Distance from there to the battlefield.

Possibility of bowling with another Mooseg army on the route of travel until rendezvous.

When you think about that, it also becomes a slightly dark source of anxiety that the route is stopping for a detour from the south.

Even as a matter of Harsim personally, I would like to avoid a war in a place too close to Lemuse as much as possible.

Forgive the people for the flames of war.

"... by the way, do you think I can make contact with the Demon Kings from here? Well, it depends on how fast they are."

From what Reynald had said, he had apparently not made contact with himself yet.

I may be brazenly stuck to ask for my commander's judgment, but it doesn't mean I'm sorry to speak otherwise.

Of course, it will be necessary to be quite cautious and, more importantly, 'polite', but recommending cooperation to the Demon King, who is in a situation that is being pursued by various countries, does not in itself work in the negative.

With that in mind, Harsim sees a shadow on Reynald's expression.

"That's..."

Reynald gave me a troubled, then half-hearted look.

Harsim put his neck on the reaction and waited for Reynald's next word.

"Um... there was a" Dragon (Railnote) "appearance..."

……

Harsim and Aisha raised their faces simultaneously listening to the words coming out of Reynald's mouth.

Aisha soon regained her calm face, but she also still looks somewhat restless.

In contrast, Harsim didn't even try to pull that vertical face in, and sighed even louder.

"... ha. Well, you can't count on arithmetic. I didn't expect to use the dragon (Railnote) on my feet..."

"Yes......"

Harsim exhaled with his nose again, adding that he could always predict to such a thing.

"Then, to predict - did you confirm your appearance but were you immediately pulled away?"

"Yes, exactly. - Said it was between" ah "and" ah ".

Those who excelled in the visual system were on the spot, and the information obtained at Lindholm Spiritual Mountain went to other men, which is why they managed to determine it to be a group of demon kings. But as you said, the contact itself... "

Hearing Reynald's answer, Harsim now came to his chest with a satisfaction that included a little shame.

"... damn, now I want to say 'you idiots' to those demon kings. I'm going beyond my expectations where it's not convenient here."

Bitter, mourning, such a body, spinning words in a sigh mix.

Reynald was also snorting at such Harsim's words as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead with a cloth.

"- Hmm.... well, let's do it for now. At least I got confirmation that I would be on my way to Lemuse. Even vague information about fast legs can narrow down a lot if calculated from the sighting point. Contact itself can suck in the form of me. It makes me a little cramped."

I waved that Harsim was the only one and corrected the color.

"Let me ask you something, isn't it true that not all demon kings are on earth dragons?

"Yeah, well, if that's the case, I'm more fluffy, too."

Reynald has also regained enough room to skip some light mouth while wiping the sweat off his forehead.

And now it rocked its beauty and conveyed the information to Harsim with an extremely serious look.

"- There are several other horses. Looks like a pretty good horse. Because they carry all the loads to the ground dragon, the horses can give them enough speed. … well, there seems to be quite a distance between the ground dragon and the horse"

"Naturally. Horses fear ground dragons. - I don't know if he's tapping his horse's ass with a dragon behind his back."

It's like a joke.

Soon after adding it so lightly, Harsim returned to the conversation.

"Well, that means we're going fast anyway. Let's keep that in mind first."

After the words, Harsim finally walked out.

The big report is over, and the rest is an announcement of intent that you won't mind on the road.

Reynald and Aisha also started walking out throughout the city of Zuria, in keeping with such Hershem's gait.

"Nevertheless, the demon kings are arranged unusually quickly. Was he also a demon king with a handout in the Duchy of Neus-Gaus?... Given the relationship between the funds, the Alchemy King in the example is a pain in the ass. That lineage used to gain fame as a luxury, and it was only once that fame was crushed by the failure of the Alchemy King some generations ago -"

Expect Harsim to be somewhat.

"Now that the Alchemy King is inheriting that blood, it is possible that he is using even a pseudonym to become a luxury merchant again. - Kim's deceased is deeply rooted in every age. Halfway through the line, the Golden Deceased is easily destroyed, but when he crosses a certain line, he gets stuck."

"Maybe you're right."

- Hmm.

Harsim, spinning such a slightly sarcastic language, still seemed to be working out an idea somewhere in his head.

and Harsim stops walking, as if to prove that Aisha and Reynald's predictions were so centered. I haven't walked twenty steps yet.

"- No, wait. I still have a bad feeling.... remembered in" The Ground Dragon ""

The subject was steep and undone.

Neither Reynald nor Aisha, however, put in any lay about it.

Harsim looked hazy, so her body strained instead.

"A long time ago, when you were sneaking up and drinking at a tavern in the capital of Lemuse, you heard rumors about the Grounddragon."

It was easy to truncate such a thing, drunk crap.

In the first place, I also think it seems somewhere amazing in itself to remember such rumors that came into my ear by accident at a cluttered meeting point called a liquor store.

But Harsim himself remembered it, and didn't trump it.

"Rumor has it you've seen a sparse herd of dragons around the west of the Three Kingdoms."

"sparse, is it"

"That's right. Grounddragons are highly social organisms, but their connections are strong and the herd itself is basically huge. The expression sparse is somewhat uncomfortable."

I just can't think of any reason why it was sparse.

But vaguely that had become a source of anxiety for Harsim.

Hersim then finally returns his heel on the spot and begins to walk again on the road to the castle of Zuria.

Sudden return.

"Take care, and we'll make another breakthrough to hurry up to the Mullans. And tell Reynald to keep some of the detectives close to Mooseg on the spot. I'm also concerned about the battalion that moved, but I don't know if something weird will move late after that." Don't let the battalion catch you all the time, "keep in mind. There are many times in this day and age when such flashy movements are positive. I don't know if I'll be able to communicate it in time after I realize it, but I still think I need to keep an eye on it."

Harsim had dropped that gaze to the ground while giving instructions to Reynald.

Staring at the ground without blinking one.

Instead, he no longer seemed to use vision.

It even seems to spend the whole nerve on thinking in the brain and letting strategic thinking unfold in the head.

"Ha, thank you"

"Oh, I got it"

At Harsim's direction, Reynald left the scene early enough.

Detach the meaning of 'move quickly' from Harsim's words and move to immediate action.

It was also an unveiling of Reynald's excellence.

Aisha, who remained on the spot, was just waiting for Harsim to spin his words, staring worryingly at Harsim, who was still doing his hand on his chin thinking.

He was just leaning softly next to Harsim so as not to disturb him, nor to enlighten him that he seemed worried.

After a while, Harsim returns to me as he finally separates his thoughts.

He flew his gaze towards the ground into the sky once and followed the loose movement of the clouds for a few seconds before finally turning to Aisha.

There was a gentle smile on his face.

"- Well, I'm also concerned about the demon kings' behavior, but first let's hope they and they don't encounter the worst in the worst possible way"

No matter how well you work out your expectations, there is always the possibility that the subject will go beyond that expectation beyond being in another human being.

I wish I could put my hands on all my will.

"Damn, it's the usual thing to be annoying."

Nor did Harsim doubt that it was the norm of men.
