Maou No Utsuwa

The main army of the Rusua Empire, led by Emperor Nicolai, confronts the coalition of central nations in the central part of the continent. Fighting is taking place in the form of the Allied Coalition of Central States, rather than the aggressive offensive of the Kamui army led by Hildegand, being prevented by the main army of the Ruthua Empire, but the war situation can be called almost glued. The reason why this is happening is that one of the tactical goals of the Ruthua Imperial Army is to capture Hildegand, a goal in the battle facing the big army, because there is a slightly strange mix of things.

"Why can't we just capture one woman!

Emperor Nicolai's roar is echoing in the main camp of the Rusua Imperial Army.

"I've been hunting it down a little bit, but I've missed my luck in just one more step."

General Sergei Baskin, who received Emperor Nicolai's anger, is desperately making excuses.

"When will that be the next step!?

Emperor Nikolai can't be convinced by the same excuse over and over again.

"Must be next"

And I don't know how many times this reply will be again. Hildegand has been leaving the fort and marching out almost every day. Each time, the Ruthua Imperial Army moves to capture Hildegand and is letting him escape.

Then why is the Rusua Imperial Army desperate to capture Hildegand?

"You know what I mean? Kamui is bound to come and negotiate the hostages as shields. We have to capture Hildegand at all costs before that happens."

Emperor Nikolai found out that many hostages were taken by Kamui, including Crown Prince Stefan. We thought that Kamui would use the hostage to threaten us, and we thought that the Ruthua Empire would take hostages so that we could fight it. It is Hildegand's idea to lead a coalition of central nations that has challenged the field many times.

"Of course I know that. But it's not easy to capture every man alive on the battlefield..."

"Can you hear that excuse now!

Emperor Nikolai knows that. Worst of all, it is the subordinates who have advanced the taking of Hildegand hostage to Emperor Nicolai, who was also prepared for the sacrifice of the Empress and the Crown Prince. I am not convinced that it would be difficult to take Hildegand hostage even more now by its subordinates.

"We apologize multiple times for our failure. But, Your Majesty, wasting too much time here could make things worse and worse in our own country."

Neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince are present. The Ruthua Empire's own country is currently in such a situation that the imperial capital has been taken by the Church of the True God and the East has been invaded by the Union of Eastern Nations. We have received reports that developments in the Union of Eastern Nations have not yet been so aggressive, but they cannot remain so forever.

"... what are the aristocrats doing?

The Ruthua Empire isn't just holding hands either. I am sending orders to noblemen everywhere to do their utmost to move to recapture the Empire.

"The riots everywhere are still unhealed, and the army can't leave the territory immediately."

"Who's starting a riot that can't be suppressed right away by sending troops out? There can't be such a force in our country."

Emperor Nicolai thinks reports from the aristocrats are a pretext for not sending out troops. The Ruthua Empire has been a strong kingdom since the time of the kingdom and its governance should have been good in every corner of the country. There was no such thing as a massive riot force.

But those in the preaching report that there is indeed a riot going on.

There's actually a riot going on. Because there are those who fan it. Bandits and those who cow behind societies everywhere. These are Dark's men. It just isn't when it comes to being national. Eastern West of the continent. Looking at it from the main army of the Ruthua Empire, it's just concentrated in a prominent area.

"... is this Kamui's fault too?

Emperor Nicolai turned the question to Vasily. I had been advised for a long time, but Vasily's words that everything was too Kamui's ploy were hard to accept, and Emperor Nikolai did not accept everything. Now that I can't move, I'm finally willing to fully believe it.

"I think so. And we're trying to take Hildegand hostage, and we're wondering if that's what's going on right now."

"What?

"I am a civilian, but I still find Hildegand's movements unnatural. Why does she throw away the fort so often?

"Because that's how she fights. Even in the previous battle when our country invaded the Schutzarten Empire, she had led the horseback riding squad many times in the morning."

General Bondarev answered Vasily's question. The military is not happy with Vasily's repeated claim that everything is on Kamui's palm.

"We needed to get rid of our troops then. But how about now? Why would you bother to imitate the troops of our country trying to leave the country?

"... we also consider the possibility. He said he was trying to stop the Oriental Union from invading our country."

The military isn't stupid either. It was conceived that the battle of the Union of Central States could be a measure to stem its own forces.

"I know that, and why are you staying here?

"Your Majesty, because I found out His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken hostage. Even if His Majesty were returned to his country, it wouldn't mean you'd both be back."

I don't know what negotiating material the two of you will be used for. It may come in exchange for the region now occupied by the Union of Eastern Nations. They may ask for the abandonment of the West of the Continent. I can't accept that. But we cannot afford to expose Emperor Nicolai to the stigma of abandoning his wife and children.

"Don't you think Kamui is deliberately showing us the battle after taking hostages and making it easy for Hildegand to capture them?

"... you mean putting Hildegand, the queen, in such danger?

Emperor Nikolai, who heard Vasily's explanation, issued an inquiry. I'm wondering how much of a ruse you're going to imitate to jeopardize your family.

"Kamui is no longer king, it doesn't matter what the story is. My wife, Hildegand, is why I think about it."

"Even my wife is a tool of contrivance..."

I can put it in a dead place because I'm my wife. Emperor Nikolai does not know that the demands of death are a testament to Kamui's trust.

"As I have said many times, the situation now is undoubtedly the result of years of preparation by the Kamuis for their surroundings. Neither the invasion of the Union of Eastern Nations, nor the uprising that is taking place everywhere. Maybe there's something you haven't seen yet. Now I think it's best to move in a direction that avoids that danger as much as possible."

"You think that's going back to your country?

Vasily's claim remains much the same. Immediately return to your home country and regain your position. For a time Vasily continues to complain that it is necessary even if the Ruthua Empire is to considerably reduce its forces. It also sounds like you're telling me to stop being the champion of the continent depending on what I try to capture. That's why it's hard to accept around.

"I think the safest place is still home."

"That country has been deprived of its imperial capital, invaded by other countries through the east, and riots are taking place everywhere. You're saying a place like that is safe?

"We say that we should do so because it seems that way. It is my belief that the turmoil in the East of the Continent has the potential to keep His Majesty in the West of the Continent."

The most dangerous place is safe. Vasily's idea on the assumption that it was all a measure of the Kamuis. It's not a mistake. The Kamui's home is the western part of the continent and was originally started to defy the former Schutz Alten Empire. Even though you have extended that to the eastern part of the continent, the time you are hanging it is completely different.

But the people of the Ruthua Empire don't understand this. Vasily's claims like you're telling me to jump into a dead place are not easily accepted.

"... that's hard"

Even Emperor Nicolai has no idea what Vasily is talking about. If we want to get behind the ploy, we also need the courage to jump into danger. But considering what happens when you fail, Emperor Nicolai can't make a decision right away. Whatever happens, the Ruthua Empire is over.

"If His Majesty returns to his country, the aristocrats who are sending out troops and reluctant will also necessarily obey honestly. Now all we need in our own country is a being that brings the country together. His Majesty the Emperor."

"... right"

"Wait, Your Majesty!

Emperor Nicolai finally accepted Vasily's persuasion. But there was a voice that spoke differently about it. It's General Baskin's voice.

"What?"

"If it is His Majesty's decision to return to your country, we, His Majesty, will obey it. But what happens to the soldiers left?

The total strength of the Ruthua Empire in the western part of the continent is 90,000, with the exception of the Army of the Kingdom of Dia. Sixty thousand knights, soldiers of the Ruthua Empire will remain even after thirty thousand of the main army of the Ruthua Empire has returned to their country.

"... what now. Weren't we originally on our way back home?

Emperor Nicolai and his army were about to return to their country. It was stopped by the Union of Central States. It is not up to me now to start and decide that 60,000 troops will remain in the western part of the continent.

"Things were different then and now. The insurgency in the Union of Central States has divided the continent between East and West. And..."

"And what?

"... most of the troops have been put into battle in the West and there is no army for the seizure of the Kingdom of Schutz Alten, the former Oriental Uncle"

Encouraged by Emperor Nicolai, General Baskin uttered a continuation of his explanation. But this still doesn't tell the whole story.

"How does that happen? What happened to the 30,000 you sent from the main army?

Emperor Nicolai's known army placement is thirty thousand for the battle against King Oppenheim in the West. Thirty thousand of the kingdom of Dia for the seizure of the Kingdom of Schutz Alten and the protection of the King's capital West Mid. And it was to send the 30,000 on the one hand, which divided the army into two parts, to hold off Nort Ende and the former Oriental Uncle family.

"Looks like it headed west again too..."

"How did you do such a discretionary imitation?

"No, not our instructions"

"So who gave you the instructions?!?

Unless directed by the generals, all that remains is for Emperor Nicolai himself to have authority. Emperor Nikolai reinforced his tone by thinking that General Baskin was in love to escape responsibility or something.

"I don't know for sure... but I also have information that Her Majesty's orders were given..."

"What...?

"Yes, no. It's not as if there's any certainty yet. I'm just trying to get a closer look at the situation."

"Is it possible that Crowe..."

Emperor Nicolai's knowing Claudia is just a woman with childish innocence. I can't think of anything like moving the army on its own. That means you don't know anything about Claudia.

"I'm afraid so, sir."

Vasily has offered prophecy to Emperor Nikolai, who is flabbergasted.

"... what?

"If, in the unlikely event, there is rebellion against Her Majesty the Empress..."

"Such an idiot!?

Emperor Nicolai shouted, blocking Vasily's story. I know what Vasily wants to say. If there were any rebellion against Claudia, the Ruthua Imperial Army would only be 30,000 of its own. With the premise, of course, that knights and soldiers of the Rusua Imperial Army in the west would obey Claudia honestly, but that possibility is not zero. Thirty thousand Ruthua Empire troops fall at once to the weak in the western part of the continent. It's no surprise that there's a general out there who wants to ride a winning horse. And in many cases, soldiers obey the orders of generals. There are as many examples of that in past history.

"I think we should make a decision on that if we find out the findings. But sometimes I wonder if I'm waiting for it."

…………

Why did this happen? Emperor Nicolai barely endured to show this as a word. Because I thought that would mean that Emperor Nicolai himself would admit that the Ruthua Empire was on the path to collapse.

◇ ◇ ◇

Kamui's ploy, not the only cause, but the Ruthua Empire at once, anyway. Things are unfolding as the Kamuis wish. But not everything is. Taking the power to fight from the Ruthua Empire is not the main point for the Kamuis today. It is only one of the necessary conditions for discussing the Spirit who names the brave, and the divine clan who can follow it. Kamui was troubled a lot when it came to discussing the God-clan with the brave man whose original purpose it was.

Within the territory of the Kingdom of Oppenheim. Kamui came back on horseback riding to that rather rear camp, not the front line of the battle against the Ruthua Empire.

"Oh, depressing!

This is the first voice of Kamui.

"What's up? Is the operation a failure?

It was Carlos who asked that Kamui. Carlos, a Dieffried minister of the Union of the Kingdom of Sidvest, is responsible for disrupting the rear of the Ruthuan Imperial Army. Kamui is distracted by Carlos's troops. Carlos bought a rear rioter to get Kamui involved, but it's true, but that's a secret story to the soldiers of the Union of the Kingdom of Sidvest.

"Your operation is a success. I was able to burn quite a bit of the food that was being carried."

"Then what are you complaining about"

"There's a brave man stuck in the transport unit because he knows I'm coming out. Those brave men are depressing."

The brave men's top priority is not to beat the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Sidvest and the Kingdom of Oppenheim, but to discuss Kamui. Originally, war meant nothing to them, such as winning or losing, only as a means to kill people. It was coming down to the rear where I could abandon command of the front line and encounter Kamui.

"You're fighting for that brave man, so you're where you want to be, right?

"Yes, but I still don't know how to discuss it"

"Don't you know how to do it?

"I accidentally attacked one of the brave men in the West Mid, but the one who should have cut off both arms legs then was on the battlefield. Five bodies satisfied."

"... healing magic?

"I can't believe the healing magic that far...... well, maybe the gods can use it. Even so, you mean you lived with your arms and legs amputated until you got that magic?

Kamui thought that if he was a god tribe, he might be able to use the healing magic out of common sense. In fact, Kamui is present where Mikhail made him try to fix an injury he couldn't fix in the Divine Church before. But even if it was healed by healing magic, it is surprising that he could have lived with massive bleeding.

"You mean we can resurrect the dead?

"... I don't think so. The magic of resurrecting the dead, the magic of creating a demon called the undead instead of resurrecting them, but Aur hated it furiously. Only God can manipulate a man's death."

"Can't the gods do that..."

"I think it's more right to think simply because they're spirits than that. Flesh is just a vessel to them. No matter how much you hurt it, it won't affect the body."

"You mean immortal?

"I mean, are you dead to the Spirit? Oh, there is. The more dirty the world they live in, the more the Spirit dies. I don't think people will be able to live again."

Once man did it. Create something called science that only humans can be comfortable with. That buys the wrath of God, and there is a world today. So there is no science in this world. I can't tarnish this world.

"... you, what are you going to do with someone you can't kill as your enemy?

"I've been thinking about it"

"Shouldn't we break the vessel until it's more irrecoverable? Easy to burn."

"I thought about it. But even then, wouldn't it just resurrect someone else in a bowl? And if that vessel is stronger than it is now, it's gonna be a hassle."

"... Indeed"

The vessel that houses the Spirit greatly increases its power. If the power of the vessel is originally strong, it could only be stronger than that. This is also why Kamui doesn't seriously discuss the braves.

"It is possible that if we discuss the Divine Nation, that would be fine. But the Divine Clan is hardly on the table... so now it's a priority to strip off the power around them rather than to discuss the brave ones themselves."

"What happens to us when we get caught up in it?

Carlos thinly knows what Kamui is trying to do in the West.

"You just have to get out of here so you don't get involved"

"You want me to betray Deefleet?

"You can say that, but if you don't like that, I'll change the way you say it. Just cut it off. That's what I said first."

"That's right..."

Carlos wasn't very enthusiastic when Kamui asked him to put the south together around Deefleet. of that Carlos. "What if you don't have the qualities to just support it? In response to the question," Kamui had replied in one word, "Cut it off". Kamui is talking about that time.

"Don't worry. That's sweet. I put my hands on it for you."

"... what did you do?

Nothing worries me more than Kamui telling me not to worry.

"Tell Mr. Sylvia what's going on ahead and ask her to think and act for Carlos."

"... oh, you, you met Sylvia?

Silvia is Carlos' wife. Silvia, who originally liked Kamui, thanks to Kamui's advice? So he became Carlos' wife. Pretty forceful, in the form of a so-called pushy wife.

"I'm fine. I haven't got my hands on it."

"Naturally!

"Mr. Sylvia did me a favor pleasantly. He's still a good man."

"So what did you ask for!?

"I have been told to stop fighting for my sake, my family's sake, my people's sake. Not only with Mr. Sylvia, I don't know how many, but with all sorts of people's news. That's the whole family and people thing. It's up to you how you use it."

An excuse to leave the Union. That's what Kamui prepared. Of course, the people of Deefleet and the Kingdom of Oppenheim wouldn't admit that, but it wasn't originally meant to convince them. It is to make the people think that they have not fled, but have ended the battle with respect for the will of the people.

"... where else are we going around?

"I've only met Mr. Sylvia. Ask Alto where else he's going around. Well, I can't ask because Alto never shows his face."

"I knew... you guys really..."

"What?"

"No, I just thought it was starting to look like you."

Kamui is trying to dissolve the Union of the Kingdom of Sidvest. If that succeeds, the front line barely supported by the coalition forces now will collapse. The Kingdom of Oppenheim will be totally driven. And beyond that.
