Maou No Utsuwa

Kamui's provocation plays a role? The brave men were to lead the Royal Army of Dia, as well as the Western garrison of the Ruthua Empire, into battle. 30,000 imperial western garrisons are in the western part of the continent at the request of the main army of the Ruthua Empire. It will confront the coalition forces of the kingdoms of Oppenheim and Sidvest. The Thirty Thousand Army of the Kingdom of Dia has left ten thousand in the King's Capital West Mid for the attack of Amphang, the king's capital of the Kingdom of Stutzalten, and it has been decided to divide the main army of the Ruthuan Empire, which has retreated further from the front line, in half, to the northeast of the west. To hold off on Nort Ende and the former Oriental House. This formation is actually very much the same as it was at the outset of the rebellion. It happens more naturally than the Ruthua Imperial Army has a limited number.

Of course, the Ruthua Empire side also considered a new conscription. But how far can I trust the soldiers who conscripted in the western part of the continent? This idea makes me hesitate to aggressively conscript into the Ruthuan Empire. The first thing that matters now for the Ruthua Empire is to get Emperor Nikolai out of the danger of a siege, and to return to his country to wage war in the eastern part of the continent. If we can do that, we can recruit new soldiers we can trust in our country and attack back to the West of the continent with further armies. Until then, it is the policy of the Ruthuan Imperial Army that Emperor Nicolai will return to his country promptly, leaving as many troops as he can protect the centre and south of the western part of the continent.

Meetings are taking place in the centre of the continent that could have a significant impact on the strategy of such a Ruthua Imperial Army. Conference room at the Royal Castle in the kingdom of Naumann, one of the countries of the Union of Central Nations. The king of the six countries of the Union of Central Nations sits at the round table placed in the centre of that conference room.

"Is it true that the demons of Nort Ende will not join the battle?

It was Jigrid Neumann, king of the kingdom of Neumann, who provided the venue for the meeting, who raised the question with an anxious face.

"Sounds like a fact. They say that the brave men of the Empire are like spirits led by divine clans who have received God's will, and that demons who are former divine clans cannot fight."

Tristan answered King Jigrit's question adding new information he had just heard.

"God willing!? A god tribe!?

King Jigrit is surprised that all of a sudden the word God or Divine Nation pops out of Tristan's mouth.

"I heard from the Demons, so it seems there is no mistake."

"... Is there a God behind the Ruthua Empire?

"You can't say it's the back shield of the Ruthua Empire. From what I've heard, I'm using the troops of the Ruthua Empire to do whatever I want, but I think you're right."

Tristan has received quite detailed information on the brave. Naturally, it came from Kamui.

"... if you flip an anti-flag against our Ruthuan Empire, won't you be fighting the brave?

"It will be. They are the brave men of the Empire."

"It's..."

This is the supreme meeting gathered by the kings of the countries of the Union of Central Nations. The agenda is whether to fight the Ruthuan Empire or not. Tristan's statement that the brave men of the empire, spoken of in that way, were subjected to the will of God, is something that makes us hesitate to fight.

"There is a fierce battle going on in the west now, but if we join the war, the center will also be on the front line again. It could be an even tougher battle than the West."

Plus Tristan speaks of the severity of the battle. I am not opposed to the battle against the Ruthuan Empire. It is a well-known fact that Tristan and Kamui are in a close relationship. I think it's fair to show aggressiveness here, so I'm purposefully saying tough things.

"What does the battle for the Union of Eastern Nations look like?

King Jigrit has now asked about the state of war in the eastern part of the continent. The pressure of the Ruthuan Empire on the Union of Central Nations varies considerably depending on the circumstances of the battle in the Eastern part of the continent. It's important information as a judgment material.

"So far it seems like something like five fifths. If we go around the empire a little more widely, the empire might hesitate more, but that's exactly what the Union of Eastern Nations won't do."

"Why?

"Because it is the purpose of the Union of Eastern Nations to extend its territory, not to disrupt the Empire"

Where some control has been exercised over the eastern part of the Ruthua Empire, the Union of Eastern Nations has halted the expansion of the invasion. The idea is to consolidate governance with certainty, rather than to extend the area of domination without darkness.

Having a vast territory that cannot be governed creates a disturbance in the country. That is proven by the Empire. Besides, too much enthusiasm for territorial expansion could lead to disputes between the Union. No matter how many individual territories are spread, the Union will not be able to resist the Ruthua Empire if it collapses. This area has been confirmed many times within the Union of Eastern Nations during the invasion. It's worth it. So far there's no country out there that runs wild.

"... I don't think I can go out there and win. Within the country, the Empire can still increase the number of troops."

Although some regional armies have been moved, the Ruthua Empire has not yet mobilized in total. If we gather all its armies, large and small, the aristocracy of the empire, the quality, whatever it may be, will lightly double in number.

"You will, but there are also limits to vandalizing the territory of the Empire. If you get too far on track, it's imperial."

This is another reason why we cannot expand the invasive area. For its part, the Union of Eastern Nations also needs to protect its own country. We can't leave the invading Empire East much longer.

"Is it only a matter of time before the East cracks down?"

"What about that? There will no doubt be a Kamui behind the Union of Eastern Nations. Let Kamui fight the battle without winning, or no, Kamui may do it, but there must be something that the Union of Eastern Nations is convinced of."

The Kamuis, who could make the Union of Eastern Nations a fine stone to throw away, but they should still have made you think you had a winning shot at moving it. Otherwise it would not seem to Tristan that the Union of Eastern Nations would also decide to fight.

"... but 90,000 just because the Imperial Army is back. It's triple the enemy. And how do you want to win?

"If we don't allow the return of the Imperial Army, we'll double it."

"... right"

He was King Jigrit, who thought to listen to the state of war in the eastern part of the continent and use it as a reference for judgment, but he also found that the state of war in that eastern part of the world varies greatly depending on their own decisions. I lost one piece of judgment material.

"Sixty thousand imperial troops remain in the western part of the continent. Plus the Royal Diamond Army for a total of 90,000. The opposing rebel side is 50,000 at Deefleet's, and no. Is it 40,000 because it would be considerably less powerful? I don't know the number of places at Kamui, but I'm pretty sure it's not tens of thousands. But if the Kingdom of Schutz Alten is in tune, it will be between 10,000 and 15,000."

"If we reward the rebellion, we will be equal in number."

"No, if we move, the guys in the north will undoubtedly move first."

To the north of the Union of Central Nations are the countries that became empires during the early years of the unrest. I don't know if there's 20,000 of them as an army, but it's not a number I can ignore or a positional relationship.

"... right"

"Besides, if we wake up, the main army of the Ruthua Empire will remain in the west. The number is won by the Empire. Unless right now all forces whose flags are unclear are on the rebel side, I was wondering if it would be too sweet to expect that."

"... what is your Lord going to do?

King Jigrit, unable to make his own decision, tried to hear Tristan's thoughts.

"I don't think that's what I'm saying right now. Unless, at least, after everyone's feelings have hardened."

"Right."

I don't have to ask Tristan what he thinks. I'm going to settle for Kamui. That's the same for the other two, Raoul and Alexis. Half of us on this occasion have decided to rebel. That's why they don't try to say anything. I'm not sure they can beat me either. We know it's going to be a tough fight, and they can't be willing to fight those who forced them to synchronize. The idea is that it is better to have the enemy turn around from the start than to be betrayed.

"My son is a fool who can't help it."

"... Laurent. Hey, what's up?

It was Laurent Hellstrame who suddenly opened his mouth and called his son an idiot. King Jigrit is bewildered by King Laurent's sudden and unclear remarks.

"No, it's about our stupid son"

"So now is not the time to talk like that"

"Well, listen. That stupid son of a bitch says he's leaving the house."

"What!? What's that supposed to mean?

It's not just a kid's run away. It means that the next king of the Hellstrame kingdom will abandon that status. King Jigrit asked for details, even though he thought it had nothing to do with the battle against the Ruthuan Empire.

"Tell me it's not a man's business to avenge his gratitude. I'm in trouble because a good adult says something like a child."

"... with vengeance?

"Whose fault is it that we have our country? Forget about it and say what it means to keep your country. Whatever it is, it is the king's duty to preserve his country. Don't you think that's not what Prince Wang would say?

"It's..."

Whose fault is it that the reconstruction of the homeland has been achieved? Following the story of King Roland, King Jigrit decided to think about it again. You don't have to worry. I don't have to think about what King Roland wants to say. I know.

It's not all because of Kamui. But King Jigrit is not arrogant enough to say that even without Kamui, his homeland has been rebuilt.

"To be honest, I want to wait until the wins and losses are a little clearer to be called cowardly. I want to know who wins. Even if they told me I wouldn't have rebuilt without Kamui Kreutz, I wouldn't want to destroy him again."

"... that's me too"

Homeland reconstruction finally. I don't want to imitate that without the rebirth of my homeland, which has been a grief for generations, even if there is gratitude for Kamui. This is the real deal.

"But without a heir, the country will still perish. Even if the shape of the country remains, it is no longer the Kingdom of Hellstrame. So I decided to be ready to martyr my son."

"Roland......"

King Jigrit and King Roland were close in age and close in touch. Just like the Tristan's. Sorrow spread slightly on King Gigrit's chest when he heard his King Roland's readiness. Our time ends. I had that thought. But this is early.

"I was going to. I changed my mind."

"Huh?"

"I came here today to find out that I'm still ready to die."

"What do you mean?

"If we survive this mayhem, my country will be bigger. I never dreamed this would happen again at this age."

"The guy named you..."

A mayhem involving the whole continent. It's a great opportunity for ambitious people to realize that ambition. King Roland, not his brother-in-law, is about to rise to rebellion by ambition. Though King Zigglit was flattered by it, the thought also arose that King Roland was indeed right. It's too early to go into protection. Now it's turbulent. This is a time when any ambition is feasible. These thoughts sprang to my chest.

"We can't lose to the younger ones yet. Don't you think?

"I never thought I'd lose."

"Right. Then it's settled. Remaining is…"

Only one person hasn't come to a conclusion. It's King Barack Carl Heinz. Not as old as the Roland Kings, not as young as the Tristan's.

"... do you think you can disagree in this situation?

"I'm not disagreeing or agreeing. Fight or not. If we don't hostile, we won't do anything from here."

This meeting does not take decisions as a Union of Central States. It's a place to decide what to do in individual countries. It is a meeting that may in some cases decide to dissolve the Union. That is why kings of nations are taking part.

"That's not the problem, do you think you can say you won't fight alone in this atmosphere right now?

"No problem. We have no intention of forcing you to obey."

"That's us..."

Hearing the words of King Roland, a disgruntled look appears on King Karlheinz's face.

"Is there a problem?

"Aren't I alone out of company? Even though I'm shadowy, I don't have any friends my age."

"Out of company..."

There was a king who said more like a child than the son of King Roland.

"I'll do the same with you. I don't like being out of company, and even if the shadows are thin, if it's all this mess, maybe history will have a name, right?

"You don't stay, you stay."

"Fine. Let's do our best to keep our name in history."

"This is unanimous. The Union of Central Nations fights the Ruthua Empire! Fight and win! Everybody, let's go!

King Roland, who has completely taken the lead in the meeting. I can't help it because I'm more motivated than anyone.

"Finally... finally. I can finally repay Kamui."

Alexis, who had been silent for so long, also leaked his true intentions where everyone agreed on the battle against the Ruthua Empire.

"Kamui will be mad at you for saying what you owe him. Fight for yourself, not for someone else."

It was Raoul who answered Alexis' whining. Raoul was unanimous and disappointed. I had decided to fight the Empire no matter what the outcome, but I had never crossed the line to split into enemy allies within the Union of Central Nations.

"Some people in the world want to fight for someone. That's what Kamui doesn't understand."

"He's been blunt for a long time. I hope so now."

This time, Kamui has not asked me to cooperate. That's how bad it is for Alexis and the others. I want you to fight with me. Even though these words alone say that we can be prepared to fight no matter what enemy we are dealing with.

If it's not coming from Kamui, we'll have to push it from ourselves. Perhaps Alexis thinks this will be the last battle. He said this was his last chance.

The Union of Central Nations was to rise to the battle against the Ruthuan Empire. The mayhem grows more intense.

◇ ◇ ◇

The Union of Central Nations, which decided to fight the Ruthuan Empire. The move is fast. Half of the Union had decided to fight from the beginning, even if not, the other three countries were only getting ready to fight. The Union of Central Nations, which was set in motion, divided its forces into two main parts. Leaving the Army of the Kingdom of Strasser, led by Alexis, and the Army of the Kingdom of Barack, led by Karl Heights, ready for the north, the remaining four nations assembled their armies in the capital of the Kingdom of Lambert. From there, it's a tactic of moving to a castle fort to the southwest, and pulling in the imperial main army marching south there to try to intercept. The main army of the Ruthua Empire is 30,000. The Four Kingdoms Union is twelve thousand. It's just a tough decision to fight from the front.

Coalition of the Four Kingdoms headed from the capital of the Kingdom of Lambert to Fort Castle. You'll be surprised to see the flag flickering over Castle Fort that you finally see.

The flag of the black silver cross belongs to the former Federal Republic of Artenkreutz and is now the flag of the Kamui army.

"... this has happened before, hasn't it?

Seeing that flag, Raoul mentioned this.

"Before?

Tristan with his neck over it.

"You don't remember things well. Well, it was a different flag then."

"No way......"

"Well, there it is."

Horse-riding squads entered from the opening of the gates of the castle fort. The number is dozens. A blonde woman hardened herself into the silver armor leading the way, stands out in the midst of a few of Raoul's known faces. It looks like Hildegand.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you all, hasn't it?

Hildegand comes nearby and greets him with a face he seems to miss.

"Dear Hildegand..."

It's the appearance of the person as expected, but still Tristan can't hide the confusion.

"Now I am a stateless, unruly person. Dear Sir, no need. Oh, you're all kings, so that's rude."

"No, even if you are unruly, you should undoubtedly say no to the Queen."

It makes me wonder what it means to have Hildegand on my throne like this. The majesty of Hildegand is undoubtedly the Queen's. I know it's slightly eye-catching, but Tristan can't help but think like this.

"So I'm not in any position... you can't go on with this"

"Yes, I will treat you the way I like you, so nothing will bother you"

"Then I will do so. Now the first thing I have to ask is, what is this army for?

"Do you show up in front of me in that number of people before you hear that?

If the Coalition of Four intends to fight on the side of the Ruthua Empire, a small number of Hildegands will be easily taken over. No matter how strong the Hildegands are, they can't deal with 10,000 people.

"Do you need to worry about that?

"No, there isn't. Even if we were to fight on the side of the Empire, we wouldn't have a blade for you."

It was Hildegand who saved the Eastern Border Lords Army, which had once been driven by the invasion of the Kingdom of Ruthua. Hildegand is more than Kamui's benefactor to King Roland and King Jigrit.

"So we can fight together again, right?

"Can you fight for me?

"I feel a little sorry for being told that way"

"Why not?

"You can't ignore the main army of the Ruthua Empire if you put the Silver Cross flag here. That's what I thought."

The Silver Cross flag is flying in Castle Fort to attract the main army of the Ruthua Empire. Hildegand is here not for the Union of Central States, but for the convenience of his own army.

"No problem. I was just worried about how to attract the Ruthua Imperial Army."

But I'm not going to make that a problem with Tristan. I was glad that Hildegand was here and that he would fight with me.

"It makes me feel a little easier when you say that."

"Where and what is your husband doing?

Raoul's got his mouth pinched here. Raoul and the others have not been informed of Kamui's whereabouts.

"I'm in the west now."

"West? You mean the Deefleet rescue?

"I don't think it can be called rescue. Kamui fights in the west to turn the awareness of the Ruthuan Imperial Army to the west. To make the fighting in the West more intense."

"... let your wife take over the emperor's army. Are you west?"

"Oh? Are you dissatisfied with me?

"No way. I just don't like how Kamui seems to be motivating me properly"

If I decided to fight and come to this place, I would have had Hildegand just like I once did. Though I think it's too much, Raoul can't hold me back from feeling high either.

"I came here because I wanted to. Because the Nikolai Emperor has a loan in his time as Prince Wang. I'm going to get that loan back this time."

When Emperor Nicolai was still Prince Wang. The army of Prince Nicolai, who invaded the south, and Hildegand were fighting. The operation flowed when he was ordered to turn to the east when he wanted to locate and assault the headquarters, but if it had been executed, the Nikolai Emperor might not be alive right now. Even if he lived, he could not have been stripped of the throne of the King Prince and become emperor.

The last battle is over with lucky results for Emperor Nicolai. So what will be the end of this battle? Watching Hildegand's motivation was the Kings who were convinced that it would never be a good result for Emperor Nicolai.
