Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 120: Knights of the Empire

Preparations for the race administrator (All Masters) were in progress.

"Don't fail to strengthen the walls!

"Summon the mercenaries! Don't thread the gold!

"Let the merchants gather the supplies!

Dawn from the meeting between the Empire and Orn, the city of Orn is moving in a hurry.

In the course of yesterday, Orn Taishou issued a "Taishou Decree” to citizens. This set a strict precaution in Orn.

"Get ready to recruit prostitutes! And gather your weapons!

"We're in a hurry to volunteer, too!

"Oh. Don't delay the others! Make Orn proud!

Soldiers and craftsmen were busy moving around the city. Many citizens have also named themselves prostitutes.

Everyone was outraged (dunno) at the irrational race administrator (All Master).

"The people of Orn are miserable, Isis"

"Thank you, Master Yamato"

From the observation room of Taishou Mansion, I was inspecting Isis and such a city. Any trivial citizen information is now a necessary time.

"We pride ourselves on trying to protect the autonomy of the city as one of the continent's best"

Orn, an urban state, has long defended its autonomy.

There are many surrounding countries that aim to moisturize Orn as a trading city. But all of them, the Orn army has a history of retreating.

"Speaking of which, it's a trade city, but it's rare to have an Orn with a Knights"

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. We have recruited many people in Orn who are confident in their arms, regardless of their birth."

There are knights in Orn who don't even take a pull in the big countries. Leanhardt, who was a swordsman of the stream, was also employed when he was young.

Let me say things to my financial strength again, and I have some mercenary regiments that won't yield. There are also volunteers from citizens, whose morale is high.

"Maybe, Isis. Orn could be the battlefield."

"Yes... I'm ready, Mr. Yamato"

As proxy for Taishou, Isis had decided to be prepared.

From the Woods of Uld, where there is a racial administrator (All Master), this Orn is the closest big city. For this reason it could be at the forefront of the fight against spiritual beasts.

"Orn is a base of defense. Until Yamato returns, we will be sure to defend him!

"Oh. I'm counting on you, Isis"

The terrain of the central part of the continent makes Orn the most important hub for the battle against racial administrators (All Masters).

It will be important for the Allied armies of Orn and the surrounding countries to hold out against the flock of spiritual beasts.

"All the people of Suzak have asked for it."

"Yes... Yamato's older brother"

I speak to the Suzak witch who kept her in the lookout room.

Their clan secret “forbidden no song” gives untiring courage to those who listen. Its immense effect had been demonstrated during the Giant Dragon Crusade.

"We... work hard for Brother Yamato"

I'm usually a faceless witch, but I have a strong will in my eyes today.

For the past few months after the giant dragon crusade. Suzak children in the village have been heavily trained.

The song of the people of Suzak will undoubtedly protect the Orn soldiers and the citizens.

"Mr. Jii of Gaton, I asked you to join all the Mountain Hole tribes."

"Hmm. I don't even need to be told. Leave the weapons to me."

Speak to the old blacksmith Gaton, who likewise refrained from doing so in the observation room.

The old men of the Mountain Hole tribe who were in Uld had taken refuge in this Orn with the village chief. They are in the process of manufacturing weapons for the spiritual beast in the city's workshop under the "Taiwanese Decree”.

"And you behaved like a spiritual beast, kid."

"It's a continental crisis. Nothing to spare."

Rock salt mines, tree seas and empires, and battles in the Holy Capital. I entrusted Gaton with the material of all the spiritual beasts I had ever obtained.

They say it's a material that can buy many countries at market capitalization. But he offered it all free of charge.

"I'm sorry that Jii had to offer you some secret technology this time."

"Hmm, never mind. Unlike people, the Mountain Hole do not have a monopoly on moves."

Gaton told the rest of his people all the technology he could have.

Thanks to this, production of Uld-style crossbows (crossbows) has also begun. If there were a crossbow (crossbow) that even prostitutes could handle, Orn's defense would be much improved.

"Thanks to Yamato, the Orn defenseman seems to be able to handle it."

Isis breathes relief as he sees the Orn defense ahead.

"Spiritual beasts are outsiders. But it is in the form of a beast. That'll keep you alive, Isis."

"I see, Yamato."

The inhabitants of this continent have long feared spiritual beasts as contraindications.

But if you can prevent a "curse," you're not the one who can't defeat a spiritual beast either. Those who outnumber them always lay the methods of collective warfare, and if they successfully use terrain such as walls, they can handle it.

"A man has no beastly flexing body, nails or fangs. But these two hands and wisdom are the biggest weapons."

"These hands and wisdom are our greatest weapons…"

The strong body hair and hard skin of the spiritual beast (Kohi) will also pass if the weapon created by the Mountain Hole clan. It is particularly important to know the existence of a “nucleus (core)", which is a weakness.

It brings together the wisdom and skill of many races in Orn today. With that power, the spiritual beast is not the opponent that cannot be defeated.

"Then keep getting ready, Isis."

"Yes, I did. Good luck, Yamato..."

Orn's preparations for the defense were well under way.

To set off for the Woods of Uld, I also head down to the main entrance of Taishou.

I just went down to the main gate, and I run into Roki, the prince.

"We're leaving now, Loki"

"Oh. I was just waiting for the Bales"

Prince Loki leaves for his native Hizan empire. The Knights of Crimson Red was with it.

I was just waiting for Barez the Great Swordsman and his immediate men.

"I asked you, Loki"

"Leave it to me, it's Yamato. I will return to the Imperial Capital on the shortest path and speak to His Majesty the Emperor"

The purpose of Loki's return is to see the Hizan Empire. Advocate for coalition alliances to be formed against racial administrators (All Masters).

"If it's true, I've just accompanied you and defeated the Race Administrator (All Master)."

Loki was worried that I was headed to the enemy's home base in small numbers.

The prince but Loki is an excellent knight. He is also a user of the Devil's Sword, whose arms will be mutually reinforcing with Bales.

If this prince had accompanied us all the way to the Woods of Uld, there would have been no more thankful helpers.

"Convincing Emperor Hizan can only be done by Loki"

"Oh, yeah"

But I refused the offer.

Because the only thing that can convince Emperor Hizan is Loki on this continent. This prince is responsible for the keys to the Alliance's success.

"I'll call you if you need anything, Yamato"

"Oh, sharing information is important."

I had given Loki one of the “Toomi stones" I borrowed from Maria.

The other one has been given to Isis, which will allow the sharing of information by the four parties. It is a precious magic item, but I will spare no effort when I get here.

"Be sure to come back alive... Yamato"

"Oh, I'll definitely accomplish it"

This time Loki's real sister, Sildria, will also head with me to the Woods of Uld. Therefore she, the Empress, will surely return me alive.

"But there really are only four of us, getting into the home of a racial administrator (All Master)?

"Oh, Loki. A few elites are more likely to deceive (bruise) the enemy's eyes."

For this measure, we will gather troops in Orn to serve as a base for our defense.

Embark on a handful of elite and enemy strongholds led by me on a ski with the eye of a racial administrator (All Master) pointing that way.

(There are no problems with the measures themselves. However, there is still no shortage of power...)

It is more likely than ever that a racial administrator (All Master) will summon a powerful spiritual beast.

In contrast, only three of these handlers are Ole, Sildria and Leanhardt. Other racks and Uld wagon carriers will be supported on the way.

To tell the truth, the other is comfortable to be accompanied by an armed warrior. That's also the fierce man used to fighting spiritual beasts.

"Loki, you kept me waiting."

A knight from another empire is approaching me when I'm thinking about that. It was Barez and his immediate knighthood.

They are the ones who will join Loki and return to the Empire City from now on.

"Barreth... Your loveliness..."

But when he sees the Bales, Loki loses his word. Because their enthusiasm was not ritual for return.

It was the equipment of a knight on his way to the battlefield, fully armed with swords and armor.

"These guys stayed in Orn, Loki."

"Your Highness... please forgive us for joining the Orn Defense Corps!

Following Bales' words, one of the knight's representatives opens his mouth.

Plead (cancer) to Loki that they acted as independent troops to protect the people of Orn and Uld.

"During the giant dragon crusade ahead, many citizens of the imperial capital were saved by them…"

A few months ago now. By the giant dragon Agni summoned by the spiritual beast administrator (Leiju Master), the imperial capital was in danger of destruction.

But there was also the cooperation of Orn's knight Lenhardt and Taishou Acting Isis, as well as the Uld Carriage Caravan, who were able to crusade safely.

Those who are pleading were the Imperial Knights who fought together then.

"We are also prepared to strip the knighthood… but as an Imperial Boy, I want to return the favor of that time, Your Highness!

What Loki and the others received from the Emperor this time was only diplomacy with Orn. Combat other than self-defence is forbidden and leaving the squad is a serious order violation.

But they were ready to throw everything away. I was so determined to join Orn's defense forces.

"Sorry, Loki. I convinced you, too. But he's too stubborn to know who he looks like."

Barez laughs bitterly and defends his men. And the eyes of the Great Swordsman were serious.

"You guys..."

Loki, for a moment, clogs the words. As a prince, I have to make a decision that I am determined to make.

"I command you in the name of Loki Hizan... to show you the power of our mightiest Imperial Knight!

"Ha! Even if we risk our lives!

But Loki hears the wishes of the knights. The face of a prince who is usually as calm as ice. Now my dependable men were staring, with a warm grin.

"By the way, Bales, will you stay in Orn, too?

Likewise to the fully armed Bales, Loki asks. This man was a knight, yet a character who followed his instincts.

I'm going to the Woods.

"Oh well... sounds like you, Bales"

The exchange alone made Loki perceive everything.

While superiors and subordinates, these two knights are united in deep trust.

"Is that okay, Barez? You can't make up for your life."

"Hang on. Who are you going to say something to, Uld's Yamato!

"Oh, you did"

Bales is one of the most proud knights in the Empire.

When it comes to toughness alone, it's more than me with enhanced physical ability. He was just an immortal swordsman.

"Working with us won't pay you back, Barreth."

"Nothing. Not for Temeer. I owe that spiritual beast bastard!

Bales shines his eyes as he sets his sword.

The sword was more radiant than the last time I saw it. Probably made of giant dragon material, with significant enhancements.

(You've got your arms up pretty good...)

And most importantly, Bales had his sword arm raised exceptionally.

It's only been a few months since we last met. Perhaps Bales was imposing a bloody workout on himself.

"When it's all cleared up, remember...... Wold's Yamato"

Barreth is pointing the cutting edge of the Great Sword at us.

He's still releasing an attacking killing spirit and grinning like a beast.

"Oh. I'll look forward to it"

I was worried about my lack of strength, and I depend on Bales' name.

He is a man as dangerous as a beast, but his sword arm is guaranteed.

Nor was he frightened against the spiritual beast, and he was the bearer of stronger spiritual power than anyone else.

Fighting a spiritual beast requires more calm and indomitable souls than sword arms.

"Departure is noon today, Bales"

And when we had a trusted companion, we set sail into the woods of Urd.
