Kakei Senki Wo Kakageyo!

Episode 124: There's no escape in this world.

Though marching north on the bustling plains of summer grass, Topias thinks of nothing.

As there is applause in music, as there is rhythm in poetry, is there something like speed and regularity in history that stacks events again? And that looks a lot like the beat of a person's body. If you calm down, you will not be conscious, and for the first time you will hear its presence when it becomes intense.

Sora, there is something that can be heard apart from the sound of more than nine thousand soldiers moving on. It sounds like a bass that sounds like ground and a scrubbing sound of spark scattered metal. Similar to the noise you hear on the battlefield.

It's really easy to feel. There's no way.

If you were involved in history in search of something, there would also be a slowing of sensations such as obsession and enthusiasm. But for Topias, 10,000 events are only other personnel. Even though I have a certain role to play, there is no drunkenness of excitement… just a slight interest and interest in the evolution of history.

Because he is a holy knight. It is all about the Holy Knight to play the given role. Anything else is just foam. Holy life and death are available. I don't roll one of the evil pebbles on this blue-grey road.

So I think pale about the current situation.

The brave Margareta has been killed in battle in the northwestern part of Uliharsila territory and Bishop Joaquim Beck has become a prisoner in the King's capital. The Archbishop of the Orient remarked that this was a far-fetched matter. The decision that there was a distortion to be corrected led to the deployment of the Knights of the Holy Grail.

And with it the increased number of the holy knights is seven thousand five hundred. The seven thousand and five hundred that landed with the brave... five thousand of them have not returned just one horseman... and now all the fifteen thousand forces under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Church have been sent to the kingdom. It is a massive intervention reminiscent of a former war.

Go on, I think solemnly of my current role.

The body of the brave must be recovered.

Nina Ursula, the flag knight, hits this with five thousand saints. From the western part of the Eteramaki territory we will aim for the scene of the showdown. All kinds of violence were allowed in view of the importance of the mandate. The orders are not to hesitate to eliminate those who are handicapped by the sacrament. The nature of Ninaurusla is suitable for this role.

We must rescue the bishop.

This is hit by the kingdoms of the Parent Church. Those who name the Confederacy of Protectorates head from the kingdom's southeastern Tervahal territory to the king's capital. Birgitta, where he was the new Countess for the Son of Topias, was also to be its flag, but apparently the Marquis Adolphe Maryaranta stood as the Alliance leader.

To some extent, this is what was expected. Maryaranta Marquis was in a position to guide the rule of Tervahal territory, but he also took a move to gather and protect certain forces into Tervahal territory while preparing various forms of territorial government.

The new reign of the kingdom, which began without the heat of civil unrest cooling down, has, as a result of the forcible revamping of the domestic order, also caused people to create, in many cases, great distortions. Disgruntled domestic forces… after all, that means the forces of the Parent Church. The military uprising in Tervahal territory happened in such a way as to occur.

In the west, military operations for the recovery of bodies are exchanged, and in the east, military operations for the rescue of bishops are exchanged. The role of topias in the middle of them is difficult inside. East-West coordination and assistance.

We have to go north while capturing both the scene of the showdown and the Wang Capital, both of which are in view. Whether that's all you can do to help both, depending on the matter, you can reinforce them directly. Action is required to identify the situation. It was thought that it would be a task that could only be carried out by Topias, who had a long experience as a flag knight.

Yes... Being a flag knight brings some kind of "excess” to its body and mind.

Topias is not lost in his life or death. The blue-gray road stretches far and quietly and there is no room for it to pass. But I was also aware that there were two or three pebbles that I had sneaked into my nose. If it is an obstacle to fulfilling the role, discard it, but since it is not, it can also be viewed with comfort.

Hobbies, should I say? Topias enjoys that waste attached to himself as the Holy Knight.

Eleonora, a long-running doll, has been lost on top of being broken. The next doll margarata was an interesting unity in the fruit of what he was not a manipulator, to the point that somehow he would be sanctified by the brave. It is unfortunate that it has been broken.

When I think of the power of royal blood, it's very natural, and I'm interested in a certain person.

Paulina.

She is the last of the three sisters of the Princess of the Kingdom of Asaria and now reigns as queen...... it is the two sisters and their mother who are different and still excellent in their qualities as puppets?

If I were to decide who would make her jump, I would think it would be interesting if it were me. I don't mind if I don't, but if I did, I'd have fun. I wonder what kind of dance you would be able to perform. It is also interesting to imagine whether the means used when manipulating are soft or just...

"Lord Topias! Lord Topias!"

Because the voice of a man calls himself, Topias saw the Lord of his voice by moving only his neck on horseback.

Kauno Eteramaki, nominally ruling the territory of Eteramaki. Fifty tangled cat backs are heavily armored and on horseback, but I'm not very good at equestrianism, or the pedestrians are taking a swing and guiding the horse.

"I have an urgent report... that I would like to discuss with you... and I would like you to forgive me for behaving in such a way as to disrupt the march..."

He's a man who talks painfully without being short of breath. Topias grasps as a man who craves power and chooses no means if it's for preservation. Specifically, we see an obsession with the king's nephew Cristian. I can guess you want to take in royal blood.

"There's a soldier in sight, over there... no, well, it seems quite far away... but he was lurking, depending on the Holy Knight and the thought of making contact with the group..."

He immediately stopped the march and asked Kauno to guide him. The Holy Grail Knights are unsuitable for scourge due to their significance and nature. Ad hoc responses when acting individually are the most unpleasant. Therefore, it was left to the Eteramaki Army for military matters other than combat acts.

If he had led a hundred horsemen, the saints would have rested in the midst of the topography, where the trees covered the little sawa, so that they could also be touched by the dotted rocks. Is that less than three hundred rides? The military uniform, which was originally aligned in white, is also thinly stained and scratched in the colour of the soil. Many are unarmed. At first glance, he became a cripple.

Topias.

It was the man who masked the upper half of his face who showed himself from behind. The color of the mask is no longer far from white. Blood bathed or bled, anyway, it seems to have dried out after being red and dirty, stained with spotty red brown.

It's Gilly, the flag knight. An irregular saint, but a colleague. I keep Topias and his boss alike.

"How many troops have you led?

"The Holy Knight is four thousand nine hundred and twenty-one. Among them, heavy cavalry is one thousand four hundred and ninety-seven, light cavalry is five hundred, and heavy infantry is two thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. The Eteramaki army is a little over four thousand and a hundred, and it also has a heavy army."

exchange the necessary information for each other without undue delay. There is no waste of spending words among flag knights other than for that matter.

"What about your troops?"

"It's two hundred and eighty eight horsemen here. We separated them several times on a detachment basis, so they would go south if they weren't damaged too"

"Do something unusual. Ask why you ran the Holy Knight that way"

"At first he was chased by the“ Devil's Eye ”and then by the Uliharsila Army. Be careful. Klaus Uliharsilla is in command of the leadership. The kingdom seems to take the position of making margarata a false brave man. Just like the Empire once was."

Keeping an eye on that word is a flaw and a problem if you are a holy knight. But as a flag knight, you are forgiven. Topias was surprised and… delighted.

"How many soldiers does Klaus Uliharsilla lead?"

"Looks like he led five thousand from the Wang capital into the Territory. I also hear there are six thousand in the Territorial Defense."

I want to hear more.

"Have you renounced the defense of the King's capital? That Klaus Ulyhalsilla."

"I'm going to hold back the Holy Grail Knights. The Klaus Ulyhalsilla."

The man, who made himself the leading nobleman of the Kingdom of Aslia and who once served as a marshal of the national army in the war, is about to stand before himself, leading a conscript from 10,000. The perception was comfortable for Topias.

Can you still dance that way, that old man?

For Topias, who lived in the royal castle for a long time, he was a person well acquainted with Klaus Ulyhalsilla, whose transformation stifled his curiosity. You can see what was always difficult looking and depressing in front of Eleonora, inspired by the beat of history or young and regaining time.

Unrelated to the Holy Knight, its changes and dynamics… makes me want to try things out. Makes me want to observe. I wonder how fast they run and how strong they fight. withstand how far the load goes and how it breaks.

"Can we rendezvous?

"That's hard. It was a collection of consumables more than the original. I'm one of them."

"Did you lose your arm? What do we do?"

"I have something to report to His Eminence the Archbishop. I can't even think about what happened after I exchanged it."

Gilly's remarks differed from Topias' expectations. Together, it is more a matter of asking the Archbishop of Orient than the fact that Bishop Joaquim Beck, who is his direct boss, is under house arrest, but beyond that, he says, he will meet the Archbishop of Orient, Cukrein.

"Are you going to the Holy Grail?"

"Yes."

It's too much. What the hell are you going to report? Topias is intrigued or not. It is also a matter of being a flag knight to deviate from your role and seek information.

"You should return to Eteramaki territory from your eastern mouth. The west mouth is glued."

"Hasn't Nina Ursula been able to break through"

"Looks like Leo Salmant is in command. It's not easy."

"Are we headed for reinforcements?

"I meant to, but... it's hard to think of a Uliharsilla army in the front"

There is also no mixing of lies and lies in the conversation between the flag knights. Topias was feeling lost in words.

It is fast to head longitudinally across the western Kalisalmi territory to retrieve the bodies of the brave men. Leo Salmant is jamming its way out, but there is also information that Peterius' territorial army is sitting on the showdown just past it. Together, they were trained in the military territory of the Earl. Quite a resistance is expected.

On the other hand, I can say that the difficulty has decreased with regard to the liberation of the bishops. If Klaus Yuriharsila and his five thousand troops return to their own territories, the armies that guard the king's capital will be three kinds. That is, the Ronkainen army, the Kingsguards and the National Army.

Regarding the Ronkainen army, it will not be a problem, regardless of the number of them. Topias finds out that tradition is just a symbolic army. He is also less skilled, but most importantly, Johannes Ronkainen, who, as Marquis, has the power of command over the army, is an extremely hostile figure. If I negotiated with Wang Du in my sight, I would also turn over the Bishop's personality.

As for the Kingsguard and the National Army, it's not a problem because it has a formula that won't, although it would be the biggest threat if it were to hit properly. It was thought that Adolf Maryaranta would do well, keeping the alias Monster Old in the North.

"Hmm... I think the impact on each battlefield would be greater if we went north as far as possible. The Salmant Army of the West will leave with it, and the Union of Patriots of the East will be avoided from isolation. Above all, it will be necessary to limit the movements of the army led by Klaus Uliharsilla. If possible, I'd like to head north to Uliharsilla territory."

It is incumbent upon Topias to inform Gilly of his actions here. Flag knights are advised to keep an idea of each other's position due to their rarity.

"There is a surplus in supplies. We should get some supplies."

"Okay."

That concludes the conversation. There is no such thing as greeting or encouragement among the Holy Knights. Everyone only lives in a holy role. That's what blue-gray raw is all about.

When I toed to the horse to cross it, I heard him calling Topias again from across.

"And, Lord Topias, if you could listen to me, the..."

It's Kauno Eteramaki, and while I was talking to Gilly, I kept her waiting at a distance.

"Among the Holy Knights, he has a position and a position… I mean, he looks like an officer, and the… it's hard to say… it's an embarrassing story at all…"

As for words, they also sound like expressions of fear, but the eyes are closing in, staring at each and every step of Topias and not letting him go, making sure to peek into the crevices, even to the body. I am desperate.

"Again, to me, do you think the command of the army is unbearable... even as a horseman on the battlefield, is that, your legs together... I almost think so..."

Then I dazzle somewhere. As if the dark beast had been exposed under the day.

"This is it, my lord... the authority to command the soldiers of the Eteramaki, temporarily, but it was up to me to think that depositing it with the mask ahead of me was not a rush... Aye, the general command is under Lord Topias's command, of course, but if there is another man to command it, it will not be a problem even without me..."

I say this. This man. That's the way I dance. Like an unsaved cloud.

"The operation is already in motion, Sir Eteramaki. Leaving the battlefield here is generally an act convicted of pre-enemy escape. Be courageous. I just asked for immediate relief, and it's only going to cause later misery."

"No, no, I didn't say this out of cowardice... no, I just sincerely hope to keep it free of misunderstandings anymore... it's just a heart I don't want to be such a weakness, like pulling Lord Topias' sacred service leg... yeah, really...!

There are many different ways people dance. What would happen if we returned this man named Kauno Eteramaki to the south... Topias can predict that by making sure he reads the development of the puppet show.

First, we'll secure Kristian's figure and push him all the way to the Castle. And write to the people. He keeps a large number of secret detectives who make it their business to dive into the water from the shade or the ground. The scrolls marked with illustrations and suggestions should also be delivered to the Wang Capital. Or maybe let it reach the north.

I want to settle with the center, you stupid doll.

Now that a massive military intervention by the Knights of the Holy Grail is under way, there is no problem if that ends in the defeat of the present King. If the Church has once again strengthened its influence over the kingdom, the Eteramaki family is at ease. Instead of countenance, it shall be awarded the rank of Marquis.

But if the present king triumphs, then what awaits the Eteramaki family is only ruin. The title would put even the life of the clan at risk. That's all I do.

Exactly the big battle to stretch or to the contrary...... sometimes Kauno Eteramaki chose it because he couldn't do anything else, but above all according to one strong motive.

Hate. To Marco Hahato.

A resentment against a powerful young hero would have killed an illegal lord of enthusiasm if he had been the main aspiration for conservative preservation. Being in tune with the Church is not devotion by faith. It's not that kind of guy.

If you're such a man, you don't start dancing like no other because brave men and resentful enemies have fallen together.

Losing the hate-pointing destination, losing the symbol that convinces him of victory too... I guess Kauno Eteramaki regained his normal self by trying to recover from fever. A cowardly, foolish self unrelated to decisiveness.

Similar questions were asked when leaving Eteramaki territory. That has remained the same since entering Kalisalmi territory, and this is how time is often taken. Decide that it will be appropriate.

"Okay. It must have been hard."

He took his leg off the toe and smiled and approached the doll.

"Ooh, ooh... did you get it! Right, right... you know...?

Without having to order anything out of his mouth, Kauno Eteramaki and several of his offerings became the enclosure of the Holy Knight's Hundred Horsemen. This place is away from the main unit and invisible.

"It's not liquor-like, but it's similar and it brings medicines that help reassure the mind. Let's split it up. Don't worry about it. A holy knight is a medicine that takes care of everyone from a young age. I'm also bringing it to this march as a standing by medication. It's okay, it doesn't taste bad either. It's very easy to drink if you mix it with tea."

Do not make noise, but promptly complete various tasks. It's only a rough cure because it doesn't take long, but it's a doll that I don't plan to use for that long. Just until the show starts.

And Topias smiles. As usual.

It's all pity. The world outside the Holy Grail Island is only the stage for poor puppet theater. Those who leap to dance without some peace in their hearts do not have time to realize it. Even when the thread is attached, it does not give way to solidity, dancing madly, and eventually the thread cuts off with the two. What a busy life and death it makes me look.

Kauno Eteramaki, so far. After that, there is no show.

But Klaus Ulyhalsilla is different. Must show you a brilliant dance.

Yes, in secret anticipation...... Topias let the whole army resume northbound. Make those cheeks laugh with a hint of genuine pleasure.
