Kuro no Senki (LN)

Mid January 434 of the Imperial Calendar - Ralph signed the paperwork and placed the feather pen.

Lean against your back and exhale.

Consciousness maintains clarity, but how fatigue erodes the body is difficult.

When I was younger, I was more incapable.

Now I still feel tired even if I intend to take enough breaks.

I think that youth is a treasure now.

No, should I say time?

Time is far more precious than money.

Life is too short for a man who tries to keep his name in history, like himself.

Too short.

"... immortality"

Squeeze small.

I hear that in the East an attempt was being made to become a god in the person.

When I was younger, I thought I wouldn't let it go.

I was not dissatisfied with the fact that my life was finite.

Instead, I thought it was a limited life that made sense for greatness.

But now I know exactly what it's like to seek immortality.

People die. Kings, heroes, and wise men die as old as ordinary men.

Die and return to the earth.

There is no escape.

That's why I tried to be a god - I guess I sought eternity.

"… thirty-four years"

I think Ralph spent his days as head of the Kingsguard Knights.

I could have accepted it if it had been a payment box as a result of my settling that civil unrest.

In the midst of the civil unrest, it was accepted even if it had to leave the line before then.

I would have had the pride of being the best soldier in the empire and had a peaceful day.

I may have taken a disciple and enjoyed his growth.

Think that far, shake your head.

I can't help talking about assumptions.

Reality didn't come to that.

I was branded incompetent and had days full of humiliation.

I wasted thirty-four years.

That's everything.

"... stigmatize me"

There has to be snow.

We must make a name for ourselves in history.

But...

Will you make a name for history simply by crusading the rebels?

Wouldn't it be forgotten after a while?

Such anxiety springs up.

"... that I could stay"

Ralph told himself, but he couldn't shake off his anxiety.

"It might not be a bad idea to read after this battle."

I meant it lightly, but it didn't seem like a bad idea.

Ralph contemplates a distant future.

A young man aspiring to be an officer is looking for a book in the library.

Let your gaze wander over which book to turn into, and find a book.

The young man opens the book and knows Ralph.

It's a great future.

"... but"

Ralph puts his hand on his chest.

I'm not sick, but old age is definitely eroding my body.

And how long will you live?

Ten years can be difficult.

It doesn't make sense for your brain to lose clarity even if you could live.

I don't even know who I am anymore and sprinkle my manure like a baby.

Paranoia, though, is frustrating.

"... five long years"

No, it could be shorter.

Once again, I feel the weight of thirty-four years.

A newborn baby grows up, has children, and has grandchildren as early as possible.

I've wasted so much time.

"... five more years"

Ralph groaned.

It may have been an inappropriate wish to make history or something.

I wouldn't have to suffer this much if I'd given up my minutes.

But you can't give up hope.

Ralph is such a creature.

That's the kind of creature I would have ended up with if I had noticed.

I couldn't find value in public happiness.

No, I didn't understand the sensibilities of being a child and being overjoyed by its growth.

I didn't know why living caricaturally was a good idea.

All I want is to make a name for myself in history.

I don't need anything else.

I don't need anything.

"... Quickly"

Come, Ralph prayed to the rebels.

The rebels have not moved since occupying the harbour under Emperor Kai's direct authority.

Even though we can't even fight properly without a position, yes.

Are you after this exhaustion?

Or can't we be alert to the raid and step out into building a position?

No way, you're not going to fight like this.

"... I don't want to"

Ralph shook his head small.

He said he got a chance to snow the stigma, but it's too nervous.

We need to be calmer.

"... I guess he's aiming to fight the southern border"

But I laugh.

We have already sent 10,000 generals to the southern border.

It's a collision of mutual forces.

Thirty-four years ago we had to know, and it is not easy to break through with the new nobles today.

They're heroes. You have to admit it there.

But as old as Ralph is, they are also old.

Considering it's been thirty-four years since I put my weapon down, I can no longer fight or anything like that.

Really old is cruel.

"Perhaps we could train some of the mercenaries that the Bowties Treasurer gathered."

Bowties Treasurer collected 10,000 mercenaries.

The entity is 10,000 even slaves and needy people who are only named mercenaries.

It's just Kasayamako now, but it would be a little useful if I could move.

Nevertheless, and Ralph put his hands together over his belly.

I didn't expect that Bowties Treasurer to be able to rally 10,000 people in a week.

I thought I'd say crying without being able to collect half of it, but he wants revenge so badly.

"... I thought he died pointlessly"

Surprisingly useful, I continue in my mind.

If I crusade the rebels, I'll have to build a stone tablet for my wife and son.

At least because it helped bottom-up the ability of the Bowties Treasurer.

Well, and Ralph took the paperwork.

The rebels have no movement, but they don't run out of work.

At that time...

"The Secretary of Military Affairs! As soon as possible, I'd like to tell His Highness the Chief of Military Affairs!

I heard voices from the hallway.

Ralph corrected his place of residence.

Perhaps the rebels have made a move.

The deputy opened the door and a man came into the office.

The man - a member of the Seventh Kingsguard Knights - stood in the center of the room early on and saluted Ralph.

Is it raining or my uniform is soaking wet?

"... the rebels have moved, haven't they?

"Ha, ha! That's right!

The man affirmed, but what a bad tooth cut.

Looks like he didn't just move to observe from his attitude.

What the hell happened?

No, unexpected developments are where we want them to be.

The stronger the rebels, the more highly regarded Ralph will be.

"What happened?

"Ha, in a sudden event..."

"Keep the report brief!

"Ha! Sorry!

The deputy raised his voice and the man stretched his spine.

".................. chi"

"Would you say it louder?

"Position."

The man said in a squeezing voice.

"Position?"

"There has been a thick fog in the meadow since the day before..."

"You mean the rebels were building their positions in the fog, right?

"No, as soon as the fog cleared, a rebel field position emerged."

"What!

Ralph stood up and shouted.

"At the bottom of the trench, you dig a trench! Dig it tight! Otherwise your people will die! I'll check it out later!

"Bet on Ninja!

As Silva raised her voice, the engineers raised their voices to defeat.

I wonder why it's a moratorium, but it seems to be wrapped up.

Chrono stared at the field position.

This position combines the same trenches and obstacles caused by the Iron Tsu as when fighting the Eighth Kingsguard Knights.

Even so, it is more than double in size, and some improvements have been made.

That's what came up overnight.

The Imperial Army must be surprised.

Hideyoshi Toyotomi's Pak, but no one complains.

When it comes to pakuri, this field position is also the paku of Nobunaga Oda.

When I finally said it, even in the first place...

Well, my life is at stake.

I just have to reopen it even if they complain.

"Hehe, this is my overnight castle"

"Admiral, what are you doing here? '(Bubba?

Looking back, there was a deputy standing there.

Somehow the bat gets worse and scratches his head.

"No, it's nothing."

"Didn't you tell him this was my overnight castle? '(Bubba?

"Yes, it is"

Chrono had to admit.

"I was delighted to imagine the Imperial Army surprised because no one would praise me."

"Easy. I was told beforehand.

The deputy coughed lightly...

'I can't believe we're building a position in just one night. The Admiral is amazing.'

I said in a flat tone.

It was a brilliant bar read.

"Thank you for your attention"

"If this is good, I'll do as much as I want."

The deputy scratched his head in the light.

Let's stop asking for praise, Krono firmly swears.

It breaks my heart if I hear the praise of the bar reading over and over again.

"By the way, what about Mr. Zion?

"If you're not feeling well, I'll get you some rest at the field hospital." (Bubba)

"'Cause I made it impossible."

Hey, the deputy nodded.

It is thanks to the power of Zion that we were able to build a field position overnight.

Silva and the others - I'm not going to deny the power of the engineers, but I couldn't have dug the trenches without Zion's divine authority.

"I wish I could just let you rest like this"

"That's What I Think" (Bubba)

I want to give you some rest.

I meant it, but I also thought it would be difficult.

"Is Baroness Num Corne good? '(Bubba?

"That guy... hey?

"It's easy to get in trouble if you're asked for consent, but it's easy to understand how you feel" (Bubba)

"You're fine, aren't you?"

Chrono sighed small.

Even though Theon has fallen ill, Baroness Nam Cornu is kellogging.

The same goes for clerics, but when God eats them, they will increase their power.

Life is at stake because I don't know where they will eat it, but even in exchange for life, it can be one of the choices for those who want power.

"Doesn't look like much fun, though."

"About what? '(Bubba?

"About the clergyman and Nege"

"You sure don't look like you're having fun."

The deputy put his arms together and nodded many times.

"I need a cleric to work for me, too."

"It's easy to think I didn't think you were going to pay for a bump here." (Bubble bubble bubble)

"I'd like to take it as far as I can."

Do you want to add a hand or a hand? '(Bubba?

The deputy opened his eyes unexpectedly.

"I'm going to be taken to the road to see if God eats me alone."

"It's easy to think it's not there."

Are you laughing, the deputy shook his shoulder in small chops.

"... Nevertheless" (... Bubba)

The deputy stared at the tent that was to be erected.

The tent depicts a red cross indicating a field hospital.

"What's wrong?

"I thought I was thinking about the hospital mark."

"Soldiers can't read letters."

Not everyone can read the letters with Chrono's men.

Other soldiers would be more desperate.

'It's easy too, but it's comforting to be treated even if you get hurt. That's what you see at a glance. "

"I wasn't thinking that far."

Chrono stared at the tent lined up slightly further away.

It's a staging area for food and equipment.

Grain stacks are marked with wheat and equipment stacks are marked with spears.

If the enemy sees it, it will strike first.

Even Chrono does that.

But...

"Which is easier because you don't have to explain it."

"It's easy to think I should prioritize you too."

"The same thing happened when they attacked us so far."

"... Just" (... Bubba)

The deputy stared at a tent.

There's nothing painted on that tent...

"The grandfathers are overstretched."

The deputy said to exhale.

The tent is protected by the Manchausens - the old knights.

It's like advertising that Tilia is here.

"I think you can relax and live the rest of your life." (Bubba)

'Cause there are different ways to live.'

Chrono clenched his neckline.

The Manchausens chose to fight as knights.

That's very important.

"It's easy to change the story..." (Bubba...)

"What?"

How's your stomach? '(Bubba?

"It's normal."

"The Admiral has grown fat."

The deputy shrugged smugly.

"If you say so, in the first place..."

"You leaked your pussy." (BUMBLES)

"I didn't leak it."

What if someone asks me, Krono looked around.

Fortunately, no one seemed to be listening.

Good, Chrono stroked his chest down.

"The Admiral Has Become Fine" (Bubba)

"I've seen you dying so many times."

I don't grow up because I've got a dying eye, but it's hard not to grow up with that dying eye.

"But don't think my stomach doesn't hurt because I'm getting fat"

What do you mean, "do"? '(Bubba?

"It's not as desperate a difference in force as it was in the first place."

The Imperial Army has more than 12,000 troops and the Imperial Army has 30,000.

It seems that 10,000 of the 30,000 was collected in the last week or so, so it's practically 20,000.

Less than double the force difference.

"I had time to prepare for it, I had time to prepare for it."

"It may not be uncommon for a battle of generals."

"I think so, too. Especially if you don't have to worry about arrows."

I struggled with a lack of arrows during parental recruitment.

This time the artisans, starting with Goldie, are making arrows for me in Harbor Street.

Eryl is also desperately making magic items.

"Well, I'm afraid of scary things."

Are you talking about Lord Leonhardt? '(Bubba?

"Well, yeah."

In the parental march, one arm of Ignis overturned the war situation.

Leonhardt should be able to do the same.

Did I ever hear you say you were being cautious? '(Bubba?

"I'll be out when I get a pinch."

Except for the story if the Duke of Palatium would take his side, but he did nothing when Tilia was deprived of her right to inherit the throne.

Now, I don't think you'll be on my side.

'I thought he was a little warmer...' (Bubba...)

"I have no choice."

Leonhardt carries his family name.

And Chrono did the same thing if he was in Leonhardt's shoes.

Complaining is out of order.

"Lord Leonhardt seems to be splitting up, and we'll split this one."

"Of course, it's easy for me to kill, but it's easy for me to feel unfair that only one person will dictate the state of war."

"It would have been easier to fight like a civilian VS nobleman."

If Tilia, the flag, gets hit, it's over.

Of course, that can be said of the Imperial Army.

"Well, that's not the time, so I can't help it."

Chrono glanced lightly at his shoulder.

Everything that could be piled up piled up.

All you have to do is act.

"... Admiral" (... Buku)

The deputy shrugged.

"It really makes me feel good to be here about the Admiral."

"I think you should keep that dialogue. I think the empire will get better when this battle is over, and..."

It's like a death flag, and I keep going in my mind.

"It's easy to understand what the Admiral is trying to say, but I want to say it here."

The deputy said in a serious voice sometime.

"I think this battle is a branch of history... and which one wins will change the history of the empire dramatically. I can participate in such a battle. You can just participate, in the position of deputy, and make it easier to fight while understanding everything '(Bubububububububububububububu)

The deputy said to roll it up.

He has a cadet education - Dr. Weissman's incense.

The word that you can understand everything and fight will be true.

"I can't be happy like that. It's easy to think I made the right choice.

"Not yet. The battle will continue even with Tilia in the throne. We have to break the discrimination and prejudice that's been going on for so long."

Chrono looked up at the sky and sighed small.

How many years would it take to eliminate discrimination and prejudice?

Even with the backing of the country, it should take a hundred years.

I'm almost halfway to too magnificent.

"Oh well. This is..."

What's wrong with dusk all of a sudden? '(Bubba?

"You say you got serious notice, well, like that"

"With what notice? '(Bubba?

"I'll tell you when this battle is over."

"... understandable" (... bubble)

The deputy nodded quietly.

"How soon do you think the Imperial Army will attack?

"It's easy to think that information about field positions is being passed on, but can't it be sooner or later than two days? '(Bubba?

"Two days early?

Chrono tilted his neck.

Two days after receiving the report - Ralph was there during a glance.

The rebels have finished building their field positions and are waiting for them in an all-out manner.

Nonetheless, Ralph is standing there without giving instructions to the army.

It was because Alfort said he wanted to have an appearance ceremony.

I'm not going to deny my desire to have an appearance ceremony.

So I even want to welcome the general if he is going to fight for his life at all costs.

But if it's going to be a waste of time, it's not a story.

The Empire squandered more precious time than gold to adjust the schedules of court aristocrats.

The rebels have finished building their field positions and are waiting in an all-out manner.

Yes, 'Finish building'.

The field position was not complete when we received the report.

I could have fought before the field position was complete if I had moved the army within the day I received the report.

It wasn't impossible to even attack the unfinished parts.

You idiot, and Ralph stared at Alfort flirting on the throne.

Head of the Burkmeyer Promissory Bureau stands face-to-face.

The court aristocrats surround Ralph and the others.

He's the culprit for wasting precious time.

That's all I get nauseous when I think I'm breathing the same air.

Ralph stared at Alfort, no, the front of the throne, nauseously.

There are three men there.

He is Count Archena Dios, Commander of the Knights of the Third Kingsguard; Count Roy Akbens, Commander of the Knights of the Fourth Kingsguard; and Treasurer of the Bowties.

All three of them are on one knee, drooling their heads.

Alfort slowly opened his mouth.

"As you already know, the rebels are approaching west of the Imperial Capital. The leader is my sister-in-law."

When Alfort told him to groan, the court aristocrats bothered.

It's a white act.

"My sister-in-law fell ill and renounced her right to inherit the throne as unbearable for her official duties. I was curing under the Marquis Elakis, who was close to me..."

Alfort punctuated the words and bit his lips.

"Marquis Elakis was a brave man. No, that's what I believed. I served in the holy kingdom of Argo to save the rest of those trapped in despicable traps, and I bowed to the barbarians of the Mount Areos with mercy."

But Alford drowned his head without power.

"It was a clever fiction of the Marquis Elakis. The rest did not discern the Marquis Elakis' ambitions. The man rebelled by holding his sister-in-law to make the Empire his home."

Spit out words in bitterness.

I don't think it would have been held by the Marquis of Elakis had the Empress Tilia been the chief, but no one puts a penetration into the boulder.

I know you want to say that, but I want you to make sure there's no contradiction.

"Speaking of single parents, it hurts my heart to contend with my blood-connected sister-in-law. But pity will set a bad precedent. The rest was determined by the thought of being torn apart."

Alfort punctuated the words again.

The silence surrounds the sight.

"The people who disturb the order... we must discuss the rebels."

"I didn't know you were going to fight with your sister and brother..."

"I didn't know Marquis Elakis had such a great ambition..."

"You new nobleman of the Beginner. Return the favor with vengeance."

"Your Majesty, what a pleasure."

When Alfort uttered his determination, the court aristocrats followed.

"... Archena Dios"

"Ha!

Alfort called his name, and Alhena drooped her head with one knee on her back.

"I appoint you commander of the Crusades."

"Ha! I accept!

Archena's voice echoes during the sight.

Ralph stroked his inner chest down.

At the time of Lucas' defeat, it had been decided that Archena would be commander of the crusade.

Capably, Roy is better up there, but unfortunately, the bastard's out.

Some priors got into trouble in court.

I chose Archena for these reasons.

That's a man who told Alfort too, but can't even be a god.

I was worried that he would call the Bowties Treasurer a commander.

To the boulder, it didn't seem so stupid.

"Roy Akbens"

"Ha!

Roy also drooled his head with one knee on his back.

"Assist Archena."

"Ha! I'll take care of it!

Alfort gave Roy's reply a satisfying look.

A man who causes something wrong in the court obeys honestly.

I guess that was my pleasure.

What a little man.

"... Bowties Treasurer"

"Ha!

Alfort had a painful look on his face.

"The misfortune that has befallen thee is heard. Half the time, her bloody sister-in-law killed the wife of her most trusted minister. The rest of your mind is in chaos."

"Ha! Thank you for your concern!

Bowties Treasurer said as he was impressed.

If Alfort hadn't put suspicion of conspiracy on the Marquis of Elakis, there would have been no revolt, no wife would have died, but he's completely lost track of how it happened.

After all, emotion is a pain in the ass.

Because they even make you forget that true vengeance is in front of you.

"I wanted to entrust you with the commanding officer, if I may, but I can't prioritize my personal feelings."

"No, no, Your Majesty. That feeling is enough."

Bowties Treasurer said in tears.

Ralph nodded small to see if this was what he wanted to do.

An emperor who must perceive the mood of his men but give priority to the country.

I see, that's the subject Alford seems to like.

"Last but not least, I'd like to apologize again for what turned out to be such an appearance. I wanted to send it out alot, but it didn't come true because the rebels were approaching"

"That feeling is enough"

Archena responded with a serious voice.

"... Ralph"

"Ha!

Ralph stretched his spine.

"Archena is only the commander of the crusade, and the chief of the army is you, the chief military officer. Lead him to victory with your wisdom."

"Ha! I'll do everything I can!

Um, and Alford nodded to Eagle Deep.
