Isekai Taneuma

Hermes' Successors

Imperial Southwest Hermes Territory.Looking down from the hills where oak trees rise, there is no longer a gorgeous palace once called Versailles, but instead a new makeshift government building was built.It was a tight connection until a new government building was built, and it was only for dozens of civilians to fill it.This is how the rebuilding of the castle, which was turned into a pile of debris by the Hermes War, began.

Likewise, the reconstruction of the castle town, which was ruined by the war, began in the form of an expansion of the city of Phoenix on the other side of the hill.Until then, the castle stretched radially from Sir Hermes' castle, but abandoned its tradition and turned Phoenix into a castle town.

Originally, Phoenix was larger as a city, and the use of downtown as a castle wall, as in the previous war, was due to the reflection that it took too much money and time to rebuild.If you think about it, it looks like you're using the people you're supposed to protect as a shield, which is equal to losing when you're attacked.In fact, since there is no palace in Versailles, which is magnificent, and the city of Phoenix, where the barracks are lined up, it must be said that the defensive ideology of the castle itself was a mistake.

In the new Hermes posture, based on that reflection, we decided to conduct politics in government towns that we had built in previous places, but in wartime, we decided to build a castle near here and hit defense.

This will rob the enemy of the city of Peace and Phoenix, but unless we drop the main castle, the Critical Castle, there is always the possibility of recapture, and the enemy will be forced to stay in the city.The idea is to give it away so that it can be destroyed, but if you look at the castle in Japan, you'll see that this makes sense.There are few cities or villages surrounded by castle walls in Japan.

The selection of candidate sites for Critical Castle will be made by Waltstein, who has newly assumed the position of General Commander of the Hermes Army.In retrospect, it is ironic to say that the Imperial General who fell Versailles was this Waltstein, but nobody complained because he was now known to be a famous general who was neither pushed nor pushed in this world after the Versailles offensive, the Bohemian fortress defense in the Warrior's realm, and the riverbed that eventually became the Demon King crusade.It is praiseworthy that the arm of the new Lord Hermes, who pulled out this man, who was still in trouble, should be mastered.

Now, that new Ser Hermes, the brave Fengbai....

Shortly before the makeshift government building, the road leading to the brave collar stretched to sew the oak tree hills.Through those streets, several horsemen were heading toward Phoenix.Terry, named first as Waltstein's lieutenant, was the flagman, and a few riders followed him sideways.Surrounded by such riders, Waltstein's white horse followed, and beside the white horse, there was a phoenix riding on a crunchy horse while creating a somewhat relaxed atmosphere.

The wind blows, and only the sounds of horseshoes echo around.

When the people of Phoenix realized that such a horse riding army was coming from the street, they immediately interrupted the work they had just done and rushed to the traffic.Fished in such a hasty atmosphere, people gathered from all over the mountain to see things. Soon, the traffic was ruined by people.

Eventually, as the people clashed, the horsemen reached the gate of the city, cheering from nowhere, and the city became like a beehive.The young woman shouted Feng's name and waved as she rubbed it.The popularity of the new Lord Hermes was now the crawling of rabbits.

Shortly afterwards, the gendarmerie, who had heard the noise, ran from all over the city and ran into the crowd of people rushing in to see Sir Hermes at a glance.The fury of paving the way for the Kempeitai flew around.Feng and the others stepped down in a whirlwind and began walking gently.For now, the same thing happens every time I come to the city, so I'm used to it.

Feng didn't change his expression, he just looked straight ahead and walked.All he had to do was wave his hand back lightly to the people in the town who were waving hard, but he pushed ahead ignoring the cheers of the people without breaking his sluggish expression.

Normally, he seems to be angry with "what a bastard, he's scared", but his inability to catch such an attitude seems cool from young women, so human psychology is strange.Does it mean that when you are on the momentum, you will be favored whatever you do?

And then a woman jumped out in front of him from the traffic.A blonde, blue-eyed proportioned priest... who is Jeanne.When she jumped out in front of Feng, she bent her eyebrow root to eight characters and said a word or two with a pleading expression.The words were too small to be heard except by Feng.

However, Feng passed by her side with a cool face as if she hadn't seen her, and walked straight through the traffic with a slender expression as if nothing had happened.The attitude was too elegant, and the people in the town unexpectedly seemed to have the illusion that the two had never met each other before.

But Jeanne, like Feng, was an adventurer with a proven track record of bravery, and the people of the city knew that she had participated in the previous Demon King crusade as part of Feng's party.The sparkling atmosphere dominates the area for a moment.When that happens,

"You bastard lord!

Such a voice was poured on the back of the departing phoenix, cooling the livers of the spectators who were watching it.Looking back at what kind of bullshit, a girl dressed as a waitress who was suddenly striking in the hedge was shouting at the phoenix as she jumped.This is also Lucy, a member of the brave party.She is blaming Feng for leaving in disregard of Jeanne.

However, Feng felt like he couldn't even hear her voice, and without looking back at all, he disappeared into the city.When angry Lucy tried to chase her back, Waltstein's men rushed in to obstruct her path.

Lucy tried to push the soldiers closer to Feng, but a small hand reached behind her.

"Hey, stop it."

"Don't stop, Guillaume!I'm sorry I have to say something today. "

Lucy tried to chase her further, but Guillaume pulled her arm back into the hedge.The soldiers who were approaching to collect the situation lowered their heads in an apologetic manner before returning to their original line.

She pummeled her back and left angrily.

"Why are you bothering me?

"I don't think so."

"Don't you think you can't forgive Feng's attitude of ignoring Jeanne?

And Guillaume heard his words, and sighed.

"There's nothing I can do about men and women.I don't think it's healthier to stay with Guzguz forever until the men and women break up. "

Really? It's not too much to talk about it. "

Guillaume thought so, but he didn't say it.

"... isn't that up to you?He must have been a bad type.Even so... why did Jeanne imitate her first?You knew Feng didn't want that.... "

Lucy looked like a maiden she was in love with.

"It's love you can't stand, even if you know it."

"... and more. I don't know how the party could have fallen apart."

"Hmm...."

When Guillaume cut and threw away with words without blood or tears, Lucy turned her lips sharply and turned upset.He did not have the words to forgive her, nor did he intend to be rough, and silently shrugged his shoulders as usual.

In the corner of his vision, Jeanne was still shaken by Feng, and the sights of the spectator looking at her from afar were painful even though they weren't pointing at him.

Guillaume said that the party had fallen apart because of the eroticism... but if she hadn't told Feng to see it as a woman, what would they have been doing at the party by now?Either way, the party could not have been dissolved.

The devil King was defeated, the war ended, and peace came.As usual, the Great Forest is swarming with demons, but the human world is no longer shadowed by desolate adventurers like ourselves, and the second round by politicians has begun.In the world of politics, Guillaume knew that he could do nothing.

As Feng waved his spicy arms as Lord Hermes, they would no doubt have been left alone.So it was only a matter of time before Jeanne, sooner or later, told him to dissolve the party.

At the same time that he felt sorry for it, he felt sad as if he wanted a war.Isn't this like saying that the world would be better disturbed if I could be active?

"No... I don't know if I can help you in battle anymore"

Guillaume murmured so quietly that no one could hear him.It happened to reach Lucy in the wind, but while she heard the murmur clearly, she stared at Sir Hermes' line of silent traffic.



Two months have passed since Isaac XI died.In the meantime, the war-torn Hermes kingdom moved its capital to Phoenix, where Feng, a brave man, held power politics.Originally, it was impossible to entrust the real power of the great power to him, who was not a brave man. Especially the other five powers that had been opposed as enemies until recently showed a sense of vigilance, but it was an inevitable measure to calm down the upset Hermes territory, where the end of the war mood was driven by the misfortune of the lord's death.

Moreover, according to the word "authority", he did not strictly assume the position of lord of Hermes, but was only a temporary measure.Hermes is now strictly absent from the Nation, and the two candidates are in the midst of a struggle over their succession, and it is only a matter of time before it is decided.

One of its successors is Robert Isaac Newton XII.

He was the deceased uncle of Eleven and the twelfth generation of the official Hermes Empire, appointed by the Empire during the Hermes War.However, it is well known that after taking office, he failed in his attempt to invade the Heroic Reich and was once again seized of the Marquis by the 11th.For that reason, he is particularly alert from the Brave Leader, and is being held hostage by the Federation Congress if he does not resign from state relations with Hermes if he succeeds him.

However, even though there was a past in which he extended his tentacles to the heroic realm, it was a reality that he was not actually an ambitious man, but simply a good man and a leftist within Hermes.

By the way, in Hermes, the headquarter of the brave, the leftist refers to the imperial conservatives.However, it was not that there were many priests, but rather that the person who wanted to use the power of the priests to rule over humans was the subject.

Hermes is a heroic but part of the Empire, so the original system adopted serfdom just like the Empire, and the domestic aristocracy ruled their estate and collected taxes.At the same time, however, the influence of the brave people who laid down the republican system was also strong, and there was a tendency for farmers to be independent.As a result, there was a feeling that the peasants, who were their property, did not want to do such a thing from the aristocracy because of the war or the mass outbreak of refugees.

That's why it was this Robert faction that attributed the Hermes Empire to Ninro Welcome, and they didn't try to hide the colors of the parent empire, and there was also a reason to mislead the failure of the Warrior invasion, and they were unwilling to try to keep the Warrior Empire away and strengthen their ties with the five great powers.

As a souvenir of Isaac XI, at the dawn of the normalization of national relations between Hermes and the Five Powers, he first approached Sir Cain. In this battle for succession to the throne, he compiled the votes of the leading nobles in the territory against the backdrop of the power of the great powers, and now he is making a step closer to his rivals.

However, originally, there was a tendency to view the attitude of joining Lord Cain as too dangerous in a territory dominated by the brave, and now there was a lack of decision-makers.

Claire Primrose is the other possible successor to the rival horse.

I am from a house that Sir Hermes gave birth to in his side room a few generations ago, and I have no right of inheritance because I am a woman.

But for generations I was blessed with beautiful men and women, and I was more popular than I thought, especially from ordinary people than Robert, to throw out good politicians.Unfortunately, she was not blessed with illegitimate children, and was not expected from conservatives who valued male inheritance because of the predominance of women in the present generation, and there was a weakness in the support base of the nobility at heart.

Claire seems to be plotting to marry Feng, the hero, as a secret strategy for resurrection, but so far, she has not been the opponent.Ideally liberal, it aims to reconcile the brave with the Empire, but somewhat brave for economic connections.

Above, Feng intended to give power to either side while watching the reaction in the territory.However, the expectations of the people were always inclined toward the brave rather than the two with many problems.In a situation where there were still traces of war in the territory, Feng thought it would be better for the lord to run the territory firmly with support from other countries than the two who played the power struggle without paying attention to the people.

The season is in the middle of winter.Even though the world was at peace, it still seemed to revolve around the brave.
