Kuro no Senki (LN)

Episode 15: The South, Part 4

Chrono stared at Isabella kneeling.

She pretended to surrender and attacked me from behind.

If I hadn't hit my hand and put it down, it could have caused a lot of damage.

"Dear Krono, please, only my son, only my son's life"

Isabella looked up at Chrono and told him to petition.

No, rightly. That was a petition.

Only life can be saved by shutting down or banishing the traitor's son.

How easy would it have been if such a decision had been made?

But if you do that, the lords who call themselves neutral will think of Chrono as a sweet man.

And so are the soldiers left with the Alliance Lords.

You can just force a useless battle, or your military code could collapse.

It's also a suicide decision.

That's not all I can do as commander of the Imperial Army.

At the same time, anger comes in.

If my son's life is in vain, I wonder why he imitated it like this.

I couldn't help but hope she was a little more thoughtful.

I couldn't help but be angry at my sweetness, which made me think of a way to help even though I couldn't accept the petition.

".................. too bad. I really thought I could kiss Tilia."

It was hard to squeeze out the first word, but it was easy to get from there.

Word overflows like a weir cut.

Shit, I think.

What do you say you do with excuses when you have to kill them?

"So..."

"Admiral, let's stop it" (Bubba)

You didn't see it, the deputy gently touched Chrono's shoulder and shook his head without force.

Mistakes may be made, but there was a gentle light in his eyes.

It was the kind of light that would complain to me that I knew.

I feel just a little easier, and I get a feeling of disgust for myself like that.

"Whatever you say can only be an excuse." (Buzz)

"Right."

Chrono exhaled deeply because it would be easier just to find out that there was someone who would understand.

"We're going to discuss your disposition. Perhaps the execution will be tomorrow or the day after."

"... my son, please, in a way that does not suffer"

"That's all I promise you"

Isabella exhaled as if relieved, then a rough footsteps sounded.

My men climbed the stairs.

As it was, it avalanched into the hallway, surrounding Isabella.

A while later, Tyga approached me with a child in her arms.

"Oh, Thor!

"Stop moving."

The deputy offers Paul Axe and controls Isabella, who tried to rush over.

"Mother!"

"Thor!"

Children - Tor screams and Isabella screams back.

What do you want me to do? '(Bubba?

"Put them both in the same room. I'll keep an eye on you, but I want you to treat me as a nobleman."

"Easy to understand."

The deputy nodded loudly.

"Stay in this room until you're ready."

"Yeah, yeah, okay."

As the deputy glanced at him, Tyga lowered her toll.

"Mother!"

"Thor!"

Isabella hugged Tor.

'Tiga, you're on watch with your men. I think I know...' (Bubble)

"Of course it is."

Tyga walked out and four beastmen followed.

Isabella returned to the office holding him to shelter Tor.

"Tyga, please?

"You Know"

Are you laughing, Tiga strips your fangs out.

Two beasts consolidate the left and right sides of the door, and the three Tigers enter the office.

The beast man at the rear quietly closed the door when he saluted Chrono.

"Ciro, hyiro, you're guarding the mansion. Sprouts...... '(Buku)

"I know."

"We'll take care of it."

Shiro and Hyiro nodded cocky, cocky.

"The rest of them are ready for camp outside the city."

My men head downstairs.

I thought they'd say they wanted to stretch their feathers in the city, but they seem to be speaking up there.

"... Phew"

"Admiral, it's too early to exhale."

"That's right. Report to Tilia, make a compromise with the Imperial Army, build a execution bench..."

"It's easy to lose something important."

"... we have to pay the reward."

"Hey, how long should we wait?

Chrono sighed and looked at the voice.

Then the bald-headed big man - Nicole - went up the stairs and approached us.

Behind it is a young man with gray hair - also the figure of Nege.

"Wouldn't you mind waiting a little longer?

"The credit is that you can take the money you loaned early."

You don't trust me.

"What am I supposed to trust about him that we're going to fight? You're poor, you're rich, but when you die, you die, okay?

Nicole told him to throw it away and Nege opened his mouth.

"I was so grateful that I lit the dead grass."

"Bye, you idiot! You don't know how hard it is to light a fire on dead grass!

"Well, I don't have an easy job."

The young man who severed the cavalry's neck groaned smugly.

"Regardless of our credibility, we - the proselytizing army - want to free the people who work in the stone quarry quickly. That's why we need the Emperor's help."

"Don't you need the power of the Imperial Army?

"Because I tend to be sick."

Goho, Goho and Nege deliberately coughed up.

"Nevertheless, a prostitute."

Chrono shrugged in a sigh.

"Come on, we're worried about the future of the Empire, we're assembled patriots. Wouldn't it be nice if you had more respect?

"Entities are members of criminal organizations, groups of criminals and predators who have been hit by mines."

"This!"

Nicole unleashes her back fist, but Nege snorted all the time.

"It's an easy-to-understand armed group that's not patriotic, but ambitious."

"An armed group."

"You're a criminal from the Empire."

"Not to mention the flowers."

Nege laughed nicely.

"Anyway, we want to free the people who work at the stone cliffs."

"Exactly. That's why we worked together."

"If you don't rendezvous in moderation, you'll be executed."

……

Nicole rolled out her back fist silently, but Nege avoids this easily, too.

It's obvious, though, because he's an assassin who stood around more than one another with his adoptive fathers in full season.

"I owe it to the annoying people."

"You idiot, it's a conscientious category in the work I've been involved in. I promised you I wouldn't owe you anything else."

"I wish nothing had happened."

I sighed when I remembered Isabella and Thor.

The courageous army watched over Isabella and the Imperial Army promised to help liberate the stone cuttings very much if anything.

"So, when are you going to help me?

"Not until you report it to Tilia."

"Are you talking about the Empress Tilia?

"Yes, I am."

"Right."

Nicole broke up sloppily.

"Can I follow you, too?

"... good though"

"You don't have to look like that to imitate it."

"... that's not what I meant"

Maybe Nicole's deification of Tilia.

I hope I'm not disappointed when I see the real thing.

"... even though he was the head of a criminal organization"

"He's the head of a criminal organization, not a revolutionary."

When Chrono blurred, Nege told him to throw up even in a sigh.

The camp position was set a short distance from the walls.

The tent stands side by side with a fragrant smell.

Meals are one of the few pleasures for a general in the march.

But I've been ambushed by someone I'm supposed to have surrendered to, and I'm nervous.

Chrono follows his deputy, Nage, Nicole, and walks in it gently.

Walking in this kind of atmosphere is quite enjoyable, but if the commander is relaxed, his men will feel at ease.

I just have to break it off from my job.

Approaching the most luxurious tent in the camp position.

Then...

"Wait, no! This is the tent of Empress Tilia!

"If you want to go inside, follow the procedure. No!

Soldier of the escort - Manchausen and Alonso held back the hand to cross the spear and go.

It's the voice that's loud, but the two faces are cramped with hiccups.

Looks like I'm so happy with Tilia's escort assignment that I'm about to smile now.

Seeing the shadow of the tent, the old knights sat down.

I guess I'm waiting for the alternation time.

"This is Crono, Commander of the Imperial Army. I wish the Empress Tilia all the best."

"Often, wait. No!

"What, what, what's next?"

Manchausen enters the tent from the gap and Alonso palpitates.

"... they're both characters, aren't they?

"What are you talking about? This is what escorts are for."

"Ha, is that right"

If they say something like this, I can only answer, is that so?

Maybe I should have learned to be polite a little more seriously.

With that in mind, Manchausen came out.

"Princess Tilia will allow you to see her."

"Ha, thank you"

Shortly after Chrono entered the tent, the sound of meeting the spears sounded.

Looking back, Manchausen and Alonso were blocking the Deputy's whereabouts.

"Lord Chrono is not the only one that Empress Tilia has allowed to see!

"We're waiting outside."

said the deputy in a sigh.

"I'm sorry."

"You can't be bitter if you think this is a job, too."

Are you enjoying a laugh, the deputy shook his shoulder in small pieces.

Turning back to the front, Tilia was on her way to her desk.

Chrono walked over and stopped in front of his desk.

"You can come a little closer, can't you?

"Sweet for your words, then."

Chrono walked over and sat at his desk.

"... I didn't tell you to sit at your desk."

"Yeah, but it's easier to talk closer, isn't it?

"Well, yeah."

Tilia put her hands together to hide her mouth.

"How'd it go?

"We've secured Isabella and her son Thor as lord's deputies. We're letting Tiga and the others watch us now."

"... right"

Tilia sighed small.

"There's no point in hiding your mouth."

"If they weren't you, I'd fix it up a little bit more."

"I was hoping you'd run away?

"That's half. Especially killing children."

"It's an uncomfortable job."

Chrono sighed deeply.

……

"You're not gonna tell me you're gonna help, are you?

"You want me to tell you?

Tilia inquires in a slightly provocative tone.

"No, not at all. Instead, he's relieved that I have to kill him."

"I don't want future historians to tell me I'm an asshole."

"The peripheral lord and his men will judge you."

Decades or hundreds of years from now, even if historians turn up.

Either way, it would not be favourably assessed.

"What do we do?

"I think it's better to execute quickly. Sounds like you're going to build an execution table on a quick pitch the day after tomorrow. Isabella, the lord, and Ark, the battalion captain, in front of the inhabitants..."

The Chronos have to move on, and if they're free between them, the memory of Isabella breaking her promise fades.

"Thor will have you poisoned in his bedroom."

"... poison"

Tilia shrugged in gloom.

"I promised you I wouldn't let you suffer."

"Okay."

Chrono exhaled in a ho.

"What?"

"No, I was wondering what I'd do if they said no"

"... that much mercy is with me"

It doesn't change killing, but Tilia shrugged.

"So, how do you execute Isabella and Ark?

"Use Heavenly Spirit Kagura. You don't have to suffer, and it has an impact."

"You put your hands down?

"I have to appeal to the place that it's not sweet."

You learn to resist using someone else's death, but you should keep it tight where it can be tightened.

"... don't take the trouble"

It's not just for Tilia.

It's for your own good if you polarize it.

"What about the Imperial Army in Baron Bowties' territory?

"We let the battalion leaders decide in our discussions. The new captain is a civilian, and his age is there, but he doesn't seem like a bad person."

"... that's good"

I just think I pulled the poverty lottery to be a battalion leader at this time, but I can't help pointing that out.

"Any other reports?

"I'm going to free the stone cliffs."

"It's a promise."

"About..."

"That's a pen."

"You understand."

"Naturally."

Tilia put her arms together.

He doesn't look like a princess with a muffled nose.

"I have to appeal to you that I am hurting my chest in the tragedy of the stone cliffs. Yes, I am a merciful trader."

"It's not mercy."

"Same thing."

"Well, there's no way to be sure."

If the people around you decide to be merciful, they are merciful.

"Oh, with that said, Mr. Nicole and Lord Nege are waiting outside?

"... Count Nege Hiades?"

Tilia looked sinister.

"You don't like it?

"I just met him, and I don't hate him or like him. I mean, is that guy really Nage Hiades?

"I think it is because my father said Nage Hiades."

"Uh-huh, I didn't think it was real"

"Real."

"I've never seen you before. I thought you were fictional."

"Why are you imitating such a hassle?

"Why, doesn't it seem convenient?"

Tilia said it all the time.

I don't know how convenient it is with Chrono's head, but it must mean a crime or a useful act close to it.

"So, what do you do?

"Sure, I'll see you."

"Okay."

Chrono turned his heel back and headed towards the exit of the tent.

Lift the tent cloth...

"Go ahead."

"Excuse me."

"Hehe, excuse me."

Nege normally, Nicole came in with her back round.

Nicole knelt quite in front of Tilia.

"... Thank you for your hard work ahead"

"No, there's no such thing as hard work. It was an easy job to monitor and light a fire."

Pessipessi, and Nicole slapped her head.

"You have a different attitude than I did?

"You idiot! There's no reason for His Royal Highness and the Elegant to be with you - ha!

Nicole curled up toward Chrono, but suddenly she looked at Tilia.

"... there's no way we can do this together, Guhehe"

"It's super hectic."

"For some reason, people are seeping out worse now."

"Indeed."

Chrono nodded as he looked sideways at Nicole.

I know you're going to have a loving laugh, but it looks like a bad guy is acting badly to keep this one alert.

"When I was in Imperial Capital, I heard you were the head of a criminal organization?

"Yes, no, a little business. But it's true what it's like to worry about the future of the Empire."

"I've been trying so hard to be confused and make a scene all over the place that we talked about joining the Imperial Army early."

"Which side are you on?"

Nicole punches him with her knees poked, but Nege gently avoids it.

"I'm changing my mind now, Guhehe."

Nicole laughs with a rubber.

"A little disappointed"

"What's wrong with you?

"No, I'm the head of a criminal organization, so I had this unyielding image of power."

"Criminal organizations rub against the powerful."

Ha ha, and Nege laughed at the trick he wanted to perform.

If I recall well, Nege was also part of a criminal organization - a group of assassins.

Perhaps criminals, horses fit each other.

"... have you changed your mind"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Nicole laughed niggardly.

"I'd like to entrust Baron Bowties with his rule."

"Oh, well, already! I'll kill you!

"Right!

Nicole embarked on herself and said, Tilia meeting hands.

"... but all of a sudden I'm going to rule."

"Oh, hey!

Nicole grabbed Nege's pants.

"Okay. I'll be there for you."

"Um, now you don't have to worry"

Tilia laughed niggly.

Chrono leads his men to the stone quarry.

The number of soldiers is two thousand - less than a hundred soldiers defending the stone cliffs, so it's too many.

"No, boulder, it's Princess Tilia!

"Right."

Chrono sighed small as he watched Nicole and Nege appropriately gavel praising him for doing it and Tilia.

"What's wrong with you? '(Bubba?

"Kind of when I see you're so happy"

Exhale again.

"Well, suddenly it's easy to rise without being lord." (Buzzing)

"Am I on my way?

"The Admiral couldn't have been more experienced."

"Right."

Nicole is the man who climbed up to the head of a criminal organization.

There is a difference in experience between cloud mud and chrono.

"If you think about it, maybe you're enjoying the hard work."

"............ what?

Nicole stopped her leg and looked back.

"What's a struggle?

"Baron Bowties will be the shield of the economic alliance."

"What?

Nicole opened her eyes to Nage's explanation.

"Because the Empire won't admit that Mr. Nicole will be a lord, will it? This is the position that the Imperial Army will attack first."

"Damn, that was too floating."

Nege further explained, and Nicole told him to throw up.

"I didn't think the Empress would do that."

"It would be difficult to saddle the Empire."

Nicole is leading the brave army and causing problems within the Empire.

"Thor, will you help me in case I have to?

"No, you can't do that. When you have two heads, it's just confusing. If I suck, they'll kill me."

"I guess."

"Besides, it's bad to lose your back shield. Damn, I should have just joined the Imperial Army."

Nicole groaned bitterly.

"Fine, you're on your own."

"I didn't brace you because I've been thinking about myself since the beginning, brace you"

"No, no, it's not a problem if Empress Tilia takes the throne!

Guha, and Nicole laughed.

I feel airy, but it would be better than depressing.

Moving on for a while, I could see a fence made of wood.

You're going to be the gatekeeper, or two soldiers are standing.

One of them noticed this way and peeled his eyes.

"Hey, who are you!

"I'm Nicole from the Imperial Army! I have come to free the stone cuttings on the orders of the Empress Tilia! This is the proof!

Nicole raised her parchment high.

"No one knows Tilia's letters when you say proof, right?

"Before that, I was a soldier who could read letters."

"I don't think anyone wants to defy you because of all the difference in power."

"Bring the man in charge! Bring it on or the Imperial Army elite will give you guys a blood festival! That's good, huh?

Ignore Chrono's conversation and Nicole screams.

Then the soldiers looked at each other.

"Shh, I'll bring in the person responsible immediately!

"So just give me a little respite!

"I'll just give you a minute!

Nicole screamed, and the two soldiers ran away.

"... hey, work properly"

I'll take care of the negotiations.

"I'm Chrono-sama's escort."

Chip, Nicole pounded her tongue.

"Nage! You're such a deputy, don't make me work all the time!

"I'm a combat officer. Instead, please make me feel better."

"Damn, you're not just useless!

Nicole screamed and stepped on the estate waste.

"... Mr. Minot, how's your first home in a long time?

"Oh, are you from around here?

"I wanted to live a better life than I do now, and I stopped abandoning my hometown with my clan." (Buyabu)

"That's what I meant. I knew we - the poor didn't have to bet."

Nicole laughed niggardly.

"Heh, Nicole has a lot going on, too."

"That depends on a lot of things. There's a lot going on here, isn't there?

"What do you think?

Nege tilted his neck.

"You don't feel like you've had enough of a life to say there's been a lot of things."

"Because he's alive in a mess. I'm always thinking about the day after tomorrow."

Nicole pointed at herself with her thumb and bragged her chest out.

"So, what do you think?

"It's easy to get in a complicated mood."

The deputy looked up to heaven and snorted.

"Mr. Minot has a good nose, too?

"It feels like compared to a human being."

"Something bothering you?

"Death stinks easily."

Chrono took a deep breath with his nose, but could not smell the dead odor away.

"It's easy to say you dumped it, but your hometown is in a morgue."

"Right."

The deputy said in a sigh, and Chrono nodded.

"Oh, my God, you're back."

When I looked up at Nicole's words, a little fat man was approaching us with only ten soldiers.

"What are we going to do?

"Don't worry, it won't be a fight."

Nicole laughed niggardly.

Bad guy grins naturally, but feels dependable.

The little fat man leaned against the fence and repeated his rough breath.

"Who is it?

"I'm Nicole from the Imperial Army! I've come to free the stone cutter workers according to the life of Empress Tilia!

"Non will supervise the stone cuttings with the life of His Highness Alfort! You can't follow orders like that!

"Ugh! Get the fuck out of here! If we're gonna get any more rattles out of this, I'm gonna fucking kill you!

The little fat man yelled out loud and Nicole yelled back even louder.

"There is also a will in Non!

"Trouble stinks, let's kill him"

"Isn't that going to be a fight?

"If you think about it, you don't have to negotiate."

"... ok"

"Admiral, I'm here."

The deputy walks out in front of the Chronos, Bumowow! and raised the roar.

The yellow light colors the deputy's body like barbarian warfare makeup.

"Oh, you can use engraving."

Nege groaned like any other HR, and the deputy roared again and stepped out.

A crack runs from under the deputy's feet toward the little fat man.

At the next moment, a conical rock protruded from the ground.

It doesn't end in one.

Conical rocks stand one after the other along the crack.

"Wow, okay! I'm leaving!

A little fat man screams and the speed at which he stands turns into a loose one.

Finally, the conical rock slowly stood and completely stopped moving.

It's like this.

Buhoo, and the deputy exhaled roughly.

Two days later (day five south) - Chrono climbed the execution bench in a dark mood.

It's well made, even though it was an unexpected job.

I can't see it from here, but the sculpture applied to the sides was also stunning.

Climb through the stairs, face up.

On the front of the execution bench sat Tilia, protected by the old knights, on the chair.

More Imperial soldiers surround the perimeter.

The inhabitants of Baron Bowties' territory are quite far apart.

I can't get a peek at the look on your face, but at least you don't look happy.

"Statement of guilt!

Chrono's voice echoes around him.

"Even though Lords proxy Isabella signed a deal not to be hostile to the Imperial Army, he ordered the Great Captain Ark and his subordinate, the Cavalry, to raid!

Oops! The audience turned.

"Both names shall be put to death, and so shall Thor, Isabella's son, as a consortium!

The audience turned again.

The voice is smaller than earlier.

"It should be noted that Isabella's son Thor is not involved in the raid and therefore is to be poisoned! This is a procedure to avoid unnecessary suffering! Isabella, give me both names of Ark!

When Chrono vacates the place, Isabella and Ark climb the execution bench.

The two climbed the execution bench and the audience issued a third twist.

Probably.

You two haven't just been hit with rope, luxurious costumes - because Isabella wore a black-based dress and Ark wore military uniforms.

"I would otherwise execute you as a sinner, but I give you the right to decorate your own death. This is mercy."

Isabella and Ark stood on the execution bench, eye-catching.

It was Ark who knelt first.

"What's left to say?

"... everything"

Ark opened his mouth quietly.

"Everything was a life full of lies. But my bond with my dead men was real. I die a loser. This is real too."

Ark looked up at Chrono and leaned down.

"... Heavenly Pivot Kagura"

Tons of letters flow like waterfalls, creating pitch-black spheres.

A pitch-black sphere covered the head of the arc, and Chrono shaped his fist.

Ark's body slowly falls down after losing his head.

The attitude was as if it were grounded, but at the end of the day it made me feel aristocratic.

Isabella moved loosely.

I poked my knees and put my hands together to pray.

"What's left to say?

"Thank you for preparing your death as an aristocrat."

"Heavenly Pivot Kagura"

A pitch-black sphere covers Isabella's head.

"T-"

Isabella opened her mouth, trying to call her son's name on the verge of Chrono shaping her fist.

But I couldn't call my son by his name.

Isabella's body slowly falls.

"... the body will be buried, but we will not tolerate a degrading imitation. For two sins were redeemed by death."

Chrono exhaled small and went down the stairs.

As Chrono entered the bedroom, Tor was lying in bed.

I haven't drugged him yet.

"... what about your mother?

"It's gone."

Chrono lowered his hips to the chair by the bed.

"... it's my turn"

"Right."

Chrono took the paper from the porch - the poison.

It's what Sue made me make.

It seems poisonous to give death to sleep.

When Chrono offered the poison, Tor took it with his trembling hands.

Black pills were removed and swallowed at once.

"... I'm going to die."

"Yes."

Thor was looking up at the ceiling.

"... will you tell me something?

"What can I tell you?

"Anything is fine."

"... right"

Chrono thought only a little and decided to talk about the man who came from another world - himself.

I spoke pale about what was in that world.

Thor has been asking questions, but that's only the first one, too.

Little by little, I lose my response and listen back more often.

I stopped listening back, and I heard a restful sleep.

……

Chrono was beside Tor until he stopped breathing.

"Ha, that's beautiful"

Rio looked up at the rising firepowder and laughed.

Fire powder rising to be sucked into the night sky is fantastic and makes you feel slutty somewhere.

"... Dear Rio"

"What?

When I saw the voice, the deputy was kneeling.

"Done"

"Oh, are you done yet?

Rio looked around.

Until a few hours ago there was a village here.

It was a village like everywhere, but not now.

The building is in flames or burns down, and the villagers are dying or dying.

"Did you let him escape moderately?

"Because that's what I ordered."

"Yeah, yeah, it's great to be true to orders."

Rio met his hands in front of his chest.

"... by the way, you didn't rape him, did you?

"Yes, because I was ordered to."

The deputy nodded quietly.

"It helps with all my well-listened men. It's only a hundred cavalry men, but I'm sure of Grandpa's choice."

"Thank you"

Rio looked up into the sky again.

"At this rate, Chrono will find me."

"… I hope so"

"If you engrave a message on the body, we'll go next."

Ha ha, and Rio laughed again.
