Mobile Fortress Saratoga ~Silvery Sword Princess Became My Servant.

Episode 68: Whatever you do, I don't think it's worth it.

A fire column that makes noises and rises.

The spire of Rhoda Castle, which had been visible until earlier, collapsed with a roar, and disappeared across the wall as it was wrapped in black smoke.

Blur, mourn, and anger.

A voice full of negative emotions flying between the rising Rhoda soldiers fills the inside of Saratoga's outer wall, and a voice that seems to belong to a troop leader who scolds (snuggles) to regain control is swallowed up in the blank.

There's no place to go home.

That fact was sufficient to put Rhoda's soldiers in a state of panic.

It would not have reflected the confusion in the minds of the soldiers, but the flames and black smoke that also scorch the sky shade all of Saratoga, drawing complex texts over the Rhoda soldiers.

And with a bitter look as if tangled in its shadow, Uncle Rhoda devoured her teeth and lay her eyes down.

"... does Saratoga keep even demons"

Under his bitter breath, Uncle Rhoda wheezed (ah). The words are erased by the sound of the roofed ladder (Sunbuka) being ripped apart from the walls.

The fire column gradually drifts away and the red-stained sky gradually flows backwards as well.

Apparently, the motorized castle fort Rhoda stopped its movement and was stripped from Saratoga, which was grounded, leaving it in the desert.

Frenzied Rhoda soldier.

Mio, the saratoga lord of the dough head, who swoops through the whole of it from an empty hole in the walls of the castle.

In the back of his arrogant attitude, his chest was just burning.

However, the result of consciousness was this attitude that the other should not be enlightened about the impatience.

What do you want me to do? That asshole sword princess!

Mio poisons in his chest.

What Mio ordered was the occupation of Rhoda Castle, not destruction.

Occupy the motorized castle fort Rhoda, hostage (castle quality?) Proceed with the negotiations as Even though it was such a calculation, this is like suddenly killing a hostage caught in a corner (because of it).

Then I'm surprised who ordered it.

If you ask the blue one, you make a giant crater to stop Saratoga from progressing, and if you ask the red one, the castle that is supposed to be occupied collapses.

Already what? This barbarian.

Not the sword princess, the barbarian princess. But you should change your name, right?

I can't stop complaining about Princess Sword in Mio.

Burning motorized castle fort Rhoda. As that appearance took him away, the stirring of Rhoda soldiers under his eyes also seemed to restore calm. At the same time, however, I can see the gaze of the Rhoda soldiers looking up at Mio becoming fiercely murderous.

Mio the boulder also trembles with a gaze full of intentions to kill from about 5,000 people all around him.

No, come on. Really. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Mio maintains an arrogant attitude with a cold sweat dripping down his back and holding back the words of excuse coming out of his throat. It almost presents the appearance of spinal movement because it was rather too conscious and repetitive.

But as a matter of fact, the Rhoda soldiers, who lost their place to return if left alone like this, would go crazy to death and attack Saratoga.

Who's bad. YES! The 'red one' is bad.

But not if you're attacking the 'red one' forever.

Anyway, things have changed.

The only weapon Mio can use is, after all, his own three-inch tongue, no matter how he falls.

In his head, Mio begins to reconfigure the story of the negotiations.

Rhoda's castle itself is on fire, but if the Demonic Crystal Furnace is alive, it is possible to regenerate Rhoda.

It is possible to treat them as hostages if they are not even dead. Even if it was dying.

There is no guarantee that the Demonic Crystal Furnace is alive, but there will be no better than to bring negotiations on that premise.

Can we do this?

To my own inquiry, from the depths of my heart, I said, "It's okay!" and a strong reply came back.

Breathe loudly as you do, and Mio tells the enemy under his eyes again.

"Your return is gone."

Once again, Rhoda soldiers hoisted their tongues and raised their voices of anger.

But Mio turns his gaze to Uncle Rhoda after looking around without distracting himself from the look of it.

"You think... Uncle Rhoda. But really?

After grasping the sincerity of Mio's words, Uncle Rhoda looked suspicious and his temper spread among the soldiers.

"What are you trying to say?"

Laughing with a hoot of nose, Mio opens his mouth.

"Indeed, your castle burned down and the motorized castle fort Rhoda stopped.

The Demonic Crystal Furnace is still alive, but you who attacked this Saratoga against the life of His Majesty the King already bear the stigma of a rebel yourself.

Even if we defeat Saratoga, we can't ask the capital for help, and we're still going to die in the middle of the desert. "

"So you think it's useless to defeat you? Is that what you're trying to say?

"Don't rush to conclusions, rough guy."

Mio doesn't even have to change his expression to say a decisive word about Uncle Rhoda's spit-and-drop inquiry.

"A whore can make the fact that you are traitors (...) or (...)"

"What?

"If you take the whore's suggestion, you will not be traitors."

"Stupid! How can you do that!

"You're not the fool. Would you have seen the whore retreat Gergios with this three-inch tongue? I'm going to use it against the people in the capital for you. If you cry and thank me, you'll never guess."

The Rhoda soldiers who heard the words were openly dismayed.

I was hoping maybe.

But what do you say, if you ask me, I end up with a kid's bullshit (screaming).

Uncle Saratoga, the rebel, came to convince the people of the capital that Rhoda was not a rebel. There can be no one in the capital who believes in Uncle Saratoga's words or anything else.

Uncle Rhoda shook his shoulder and turned his pitiful eyes to Mio.

"I'm frightened, Uncle Saratoga. What you call the weight of words is first determined by whose mouth it came out of. There's no reason to listen to your lord."

But Mio says it back unintentionally.

"Why, it doesn't seem like an out-of-the-box. You're right. It's important who gets out of your mouth."

"If so..."

Mio slaps his words in the way that Uncle Rhoda nearly said so.

"Immediate Deputies of the Royal Family"

"What?

"Don't even say it to everyone. Don't you want to be called a fool any more?

Uncle Rhoda lay her eyes down and held her silence.

I guess what Mio's trying to say passed on correctly.

Looking down satisfactorily at the condition, Mio enters the negotiations.

"There are two hostages we're holding. Mobile Castle Fort Rhoda and Uncle Strasbourg. So there are two demands.

The first is to withdraw from Saratoga and then at least settle the spear (dust) until the end of the prostitute's trial. If we can protect this, we will free you from the position of traitors and promise Saratoga to tow Rhoda to the capital's repair facility. "

Uncle Rhoda slowly opens her eyes.

Don't get lost...... That's how Mio saw Uncle Rhoda.

"The other is to vote for the innocence of prostitutes in a majority vote in a trial. If we are to defend this, why don't we release Uncle Strasbourg after the trial? If Saratoga really had a Strasbourg uncle."

"... Uncle Strasbourg's liberation comes first"

"What about your lord? Why should you let go of the reason why your lord voted not guilty of prostitution?"

"Then it's good at a glance. Show me what Uncle Strasbourg looks like!

Uncle Rhoda's request was pregnant with a kind of sad sound, but Mio kicks it over.

"I'll say it again, what about your lord? Whore said Uncle Strasbourg wasn't here from the beginning, but you can't possibly show him what's out there!

What a contradiction.

Mio says he's not here while holding Uncle Strasbourg hostage.

Perplexed, Uncle Rhoda asks Mio about that contradiction.

"After the trial, we release Uncle Strasbourg. I thought you said so!

"If you let me go, I'll stay here. You can magically force me to do that. Or does your lord admit that there is no Uncle Strasbourg in Saratoga?

"That's possible!

"Then show it to me or something. Or have you lost confidence? The truth is, if you don't have Uncle Strasbourg, you'll lose the big name your lord attacked Saratoga. You're just gonna be a thief."

"Gu!"

Uncle Rhoda, who is magically believed to have Uncle Strasbourg locked up in Saratoga, cannot modify the idea. You can't change that if you get stuck with an obvious contradiction. Mio poked there. He took Sole hostage while informing him that Uncle Strasbourg was not here. And hunt him down just to hunt him down, and at the extreme, reach out to Uncle Rhoda for salvation.

"Think about it. After the trial, you will not become a traitor where your lord attacked Saratoga. No, even though your lord voted not guilty before that, why don't we always let Uncle Strasbourg go if the whore is condemned to death? If only Saratoga had Uncle Strasbourg."

And finally, you apply your hand directly to the picture that would be painted in the other person's head.

"As far as prostitution is concerned, your behavior is like that of the hero Tan, but if you end up helping the princess, it's not the hero Tan, it's not the hero Tan, but if you prefer such a childish tale."

Uncle Rhoda gives a hazy look and turns to a funny look.

"Fine. I'll take your lord's truck. What are we gonna do with the contract, leave it in writing?

"Let's not have to. If your lord broke his promise, Uncle Strasbourg would die, and if the whore broke his promise, your lord would send forth his soldiers again. That'll be enough."

"Uhm."

Uncle Rhoda nodded heavily, and the soldiers around him breathed relief.

"Now let's get Saratoga back to where Rhoda is stopping. We must retrieve one of the barbarians who sent us to Rhoda. You can wait around the castle gate."

Uncle Rhoda nods silently, and when Mio says just what he says, he flips (hisses) the hem of his skirt and disappears into the back of the big hole.

And when he came from the Rhoda soldiers to where he could not see, Mio went to Petan on the floor.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

By the time Miriam arrived at Mio's, Mio and Uncle Rhoda's negotiations were already in full swing.

As Mio killed his breath behind him and followed the negotiating path, Miglia, convinced that Mio would be able to wrap up the negotiations, removed her seat so as not to make a sound, and headed right next to the bridge (bridge) to an empty room that no one normally used.

"Nino. How's the deputy?

When she opened the door, Miriam called out to the red-haired toddler who was there.

"Yah. Shut up, quiet down"

Miriam twisted her neck, not knowing what the response meant, but was immediately convinced when she saw the likeness of a man rolling on the ground.

"Oh, it was May, so you did the monkey snap."

"Yar"

Touching Nino's head stretching his chest, Miriam crouched beside the man rolling on the floor.

"Hello, deputy. I never talked to you properly, did I? I'm Miriam."

"Ugh."

While breathing bitterly between the monkeys, Pippin leaps up and storms as he glances at Miriam.

"Oh, I wonder if the monkeys are painful. I'll take it off for you later. Well, I want you to listen to me first."

"Ugh! Ugh!

Pippin keeps rumbling as if it hadn't reached Miriam's ears, for example.

Miriam sighed one, making a sticky smile once again, pulling it up critical when she pinched Pippin's ear.

"Didn't you hear me? Or does that mean you're not interested in hearing about the housekeeper (maid)?

"Ugh! Ugh!!

"Whether or not we listen here is the divide between living or dying a deputy?

Pippin 'movement stops perfectly on that word.

"Yeah, that's wise."

Slowly releasing her hand from Pippin's ear, Miriam pokes her finger towards Pippin's nose tip.

"First, deputy. Tell them as accurately as you can about the circumstances in which the deputy is placed. Be as objective as you can because you misjudge people with weird hopes and delusions."

Yes, put it forward. Miriam, first of all, stands one finger.

"The first is that the Royal Regular Soldier brought in by the deputy has been wiped out and no one is alive - In other words, there's not a single deputy on Saratoga's side."

And put up another finger.

"The second one, deputy. You punched Mio in the face, didn't you? That was awkward.

I guess the deputy didn't know, but Mio is an idol in Saratoga. That's more than a royal princess.

In other words, the soldier would rather kill the deputy than the former, without leaving a single resident of Saratoga, if there is a gap. Understand that you think so. "

To the pipin that causes the cheeks to cramp (one), Miriam sticks her face all the way and distorts her nibble and mouth.

"Of course, I want deputies to die as miserable as they can. That's what I think."

Pippin gave a hippy little voice behind his throat.

Miriam stands a third finger, looking down satisfactorily at the condition.

"Finally, Gergios has already left and negotiations have been concluded, albeit conditionally with Rhoda. You can assume you've come to the stage of thinking about what to do with your deputy. Well, even when it comes to treatment, it's about how to execute him."

Pippin's face cramped and a ball of tears floated around his eyes.

"So, here's the real deal. It's him if you don't want to die, but are you willing to listen?

Pippin snorts full of strength with the boom.

"If it helps, I promise. Saratoga's soldiers, including me and Mio, now (...) after (...) one (...) cut (...) ki (...) mi (...) hands (...) out (...) and (...) (...) yes (...). Listen to me with that intention. First, I want the deputy to report to the capital this time."

Miriam told Pippin to say one by one after another.

"It was Gergios who raided Saratoga. This will wipe out all the soldiers directly under the royal family. Under the command of the deputy, the Saratoga army intercepted this but fell into a disadvantage.

That's where Fort Rhoda, the manoeuvre castle, showed up for rescue. Working together in the Rhoda and Saratoga armies to defeat Gergios, the motorized castle fort Rhoda was devastated and rendered inoperable.

Saratoga has significantly reduced cruise speeds in order to tow the two manoeuvre castle forts of Strasbourg Rhoda. Your arrival in the capital will be delayed by a week. Right. "

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Reflected on the Spirit Stone Plate (Monitor) on the bridge is the installation of steel wire to tow the loader.

Strasbull behind Saratoga, with a loader in a vertical row behind it again.

It would be an unprecedented event for three motorized castle fortifications to travel side by side.

"Do you have the Saratoga's Demonic Crystal Furnace, both of which tow a manoeuvre castle fort?

"Speed drops a lot, but nothing else should go wrong"

"Um, nice to meet you"

The door opened while Mio was interacting with the chief engineer, and Miriam came in.

"It's over, too."

"What's the problem?

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay. I knew you were a great man there in the center. Word for word, they reported it exactly as I instructed, but it didn't seem to raise any questions. All right."

"Hmm, and then what are we going to do with the deputy?"

Mio makes a bare gesture of thinking with his elbow on his elbow.

"Right. If we leave it at Saratoga Castle like this, maybe one of the soldiers will kill it outrageously."

"That's pathetic for the soldier. I can't punish you in a position...... I'm sorry to bother you, but I need you to put up with the house arrest outside the castle."

"Is that okay with Mio? You got so bummed?

"That said, not one scratch remains, but I think the deputy had a position."

Miriam flaunts her shoulders and opens her hands just to say she was frightened.

"If Mio says it's good, I don't know what (...) to (...) or (...) and (...) nothing (...) to (...) waste (...)"

I heard a small voice from around Mio's feet following that Miriam's words.

"Oh, you know..."

There was the figure of Hertrude who was seated by way of example.

"Also, even if it's time to stop the front seat, are you there... huh?

For a long time, Hertrude had a distressed look as her legs seemed numb.

I saw how it went. With Mio smiling bitterly, Nino! and call out.

"Disappointed?"

For some reason Nino starts poking at the back of Hertrude's leg with a thin stick, shaking according to the doubtful shape.

"Akan! Akan!

Nino is relentlessly attacked by Hertrude, who leads him to flee.

Hearing the repeated voice of Akan, Mio turned to Miriam and opened his mouth.

"Now, all we have to do is reach the capital and be judged solemnly."

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"... watch it now."

Pippin muttered in a small voice so that the guards surrounding him could not hear him.

Both that fucking kid lord and the ahoy looking lord, when they get to the capital, they'll wash them all up and plead guilty.

You remind yourself, the royal deputy, of this sin that meets your eyes.

Pippin distorts his mouth as he ponders the sight of two people stomping at his feet, Uncle Saratoga and Uncle Rhoda, on their way from Mio to the assigned separate residence.

"I'm guessing you'll find the finest sofas and wine in the apartment."

The soldiers of the guards answer nothing to that question of Pippin.

He just keeps walking around the pipin without breaking his expression.

People in towns who see pippins walking down the street frown, some look at pippins, some spit and throw away.

"Hey! That disrespectful behavior towards me as a deputy to the common man! I'm sure you're the ones who beat me up!

Pippin calls to the soldiers of the guard. But the soldiers continue to walk solemnly, as if they had not heard any words of Pippin.

Gradually around Pippin and the soldiers, more and more people keep walking together, trying to get around Tori. There were merchants and carpenters, women with town daughters and shopping cages, farmers with scissors, elderly men with crooked hips, and still young children.

"Hey, what? What is it?

Pippin gives a frightened look, feeling the swordswallowing atmosphere that each of them creates. And a long way from Saratoga Castle, when the soldiers suddenly stop on their feet, they leave one pippin and leave outside this hedge.

"Ah, you guys! It must be your job to protect Atashi! Become an asshole!

In a progressively narrower hedge, Pippin raises his screaming voice.

In response, one of the soldiers shrugged.

"We are said to be one (...) cut (...) hand (...) out (...) and (...) ru (...) na (...),"

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Pippin, a royal deputy, went missing while moving to a separate residence.

Some witnesses said they were surrounded by the people, but the soldiers who were escorting Pippin denied it with their mouths together.

Thus, Pippin's disappearance was treated as likely to have been abducted by the remnants of the Gergios army who remained within Saratoga.

A few days later, in a pile of garbage to be discarded from the rear of Saratoga, there was also a man breathing constantly.

Parents of the cleaner, who saw that face, spit away in a grumpy manner and murmured, "It's not raw garbage day," opening the hatch for releasing garbage.
