Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 126: The Men of a Country Called Empire

That night, I had a dream. It is an exotic dream.

No, maybe... you're looking at what's actually happening right now in another world.

"Damn!

"Loki, please calm down."

"Grandpa... Oh, you did"

Loki, the prince of the Hizan Empire, was in a hurry.

It is a face rarely shown by this calmly settled man, also known as the "Prince of Ice”.

The old knight of the Vice Commander, who has been with him for many years, puts him back on his feet. But the colour was clearly visible in the look on his face in a hurry.

"At an earlier meeting, His Majesty the Emperor made a final decision that no reinforcements would be sent to Orn."

"Sir Vlad... is it an action"

This is Loki's private room in Imperial Castle of the Hizan Empire.

Vlad, an old nobleman, returning from the conference room with Loki, explains the cause of the prince's impatience. Vlad, who had already retired from the table stage, was present at the meeting at Loki's request.

"My suggestion was also rejected this time..."

Having regained a bit of calm, Loki speaks out the contents of the emergency executive meeting of the Hizan Empire.

The top agenda at the conference was, 'How does the Empire respond to the invasion of a flock of racial administrators (all masters) and spiritual beasts that appeared a month ago?'.

"A month early from the emergence of the Race Administrator (All Master) and the first shooting of that“ Thunder of Judgment "... our empire is too slow to respond..."

About a month had passed since Loki broke up with the Bales in the trading city of Orn.

Loki, who left Orn, hurriedly returns to Imperial Capital to sue Emperor Hizan directly for the seriousness of the matter.

The video and voice floating in the sky of the race administrator (All Master) was also heard in all the territory of the Empire. In response, senior nobles were urgently convened and executive meetings were held day after night.

"Send Imperial reinforcements to Orn as a front-line base and defeat the Race Administrator (All-Master) with a coalition alliance!

Loki, who had returned from Orn, had spoken out at meetings day after day about the proposal.

Geographically with the home of the racial administrator (All Master), Orn becomes the most important base. Every part of the continent is in danger, torn through it by a flock of spiritual beasts.

"But, Father... Your Majesty made the decision to 'refrain from reinforcements to Orn and consolidate the defence of the Empire's territory', Grandfather..."

"Your Highness... there is also damage to the spiritual beast in the territory of our empire. Your Majesty and I have an idea."

The herd of inferior spiritual beasts summoned by the racial administrator (All Master) had now emerged throughout the continent. Not many of them have attacked villages and cities and many lives have been lost.

Even more unluckily, the first shooting of the Thunder of Judgment had wiped out a whole third city of the Empire. This made the Imperial executives more cautious.

"That's why we have to knock on the enemy's home base as soon as possible... we're being played! To that race administrator (All Master)......"

Loki, a brilliant (groaning) strategist, was spotting the end of this continent.

The race administrator (All Master), the enemy of mankind, said he was manipulating an army of herds of spiritual beasts in play.

Without the overwhelming power of destruction of the “Thunder of Judgment", the Spiritual Beast is used as a pawn to destroy cities everywhere, one at a time. Such a leisurely game as it is, that this continent will perish.

"And indeed, there was such a word in the report from Mr. Sildria..."

The old aristocrat Vlad tries to calm Loki down, slightly changing the direction of the story.

Empress Sildria headed with the Yamatos to the Woods of Uld as a death squad a month ago now. But that's where they're forced to retreat in the ambush of the race administrator (All Master).

The three knights, Sildria and Barreth, and Leanhardt, managed to shake off the pursuit of the spiritual beast and managed to be safe. Now based in Orn, I'm asking for an opportunity to fight back.

"In a report by my sister Syldria, the racial administrator (All Master) declared, 'Because he uses an army of spiritual beasts to destroy them while they play slowly'... that's what they were declaring"

Teito and the trading city of Orn used “the stone of Far Ear" and have been in regular contact for the past month. This is one of the legacies of the supraimperial era, a valuable magical instrument of possible distance communication.

Now it was held by three men: Loki of the Empire and Isis of Orn, and Maria the Virgin of the Holy City. This makes it possible to share instantaneous information.

Based on that information, Loki had identified battle stations across the continent.

"Orn won't last long like this. And the future of this continent..."

Organized all the information, Loki came to that conclusion.

The army of urban states in the central plains is now assembled in Orn. For the past month, the spiritual beast army pushing from the north and they had been battling through the streets day after day.

But some of the enemy forces also appear advanced spiritual beasts, and the Orn coalition is exhausted.

"That's why we need to send reinforcements from our empire as soon as possible..."

"Your Highness... it will take a little longer to move a country as big as the Empire"

As Vlad, the knight of the war, advances, the main army of the Empire has yet to move.

It will take a little longer to move the executives of an empire that has become too great a power. Virgin Mary is moving desperately, but so was the Holy Kingdom of Romanus in the west.

"At least if Lord Yamato..." Sage of the North ”was alive, though he had the wisdom to strike..."

The old knight was buying Yamato's bravery.

Many Imperial Citizens' lives have also been saved during the Giant Dragon Crusade thanks to the measures of his (or her) wise men.

"It's my grandfather's bad habit to rely on those who aren't there."

"Ha, Your Highness. Sorry, sir."

But according to Sildria's report, Uld's yamato was missing.

It took a despicable technique on the part of a racial administrator (All Master) and said he was forced to fly far away. The first time I heard the sinking voice of my sister Syldria, Loki had also heard the report.

"If it's Wold's Yamato..."

While scolding the old knight, Loki was thinking the same thing.

That man...... if he's a would-be yamato, how do we break this predicament? I wonder how to move the executives and emperors of the slow moving empire.

"Speaking of which, that guy was a real freak..."

Loki remembers Yamato, if he stares out the window.

That I named my life a risking rescue squad for Barez, who had nothing to do with it. That he had been slaughtered by giant dragons without changing one complexion, even before overwhelming despair.

"An unmatched swordsman and wise man... and yet you said, 'I am a villager'..."

Yamato turned down all the prizes and titles from the Empire and gave them all for the bravely deceased Imperial Knight. Affirming that I am a villager and merchant.

"Huh, Yamato... you really were a greedless man..."

Loki smiles naturally and bitterly.

Just remembering the face of the man who went missing makes me feel indescribable. Loki's whole body loses its wasted power, and his head, which was up in blood, regains its calm.

"Ha ha... well, I get it! I still can't abandon my greed... did I overlook the big picture... Sir Vlad, let's go!

"What is it, Your Highness?

Suddenly Loki laughs. And with a full grin, he mouths that there is no clapping.

"Again from now on, I'm going to go preach His Majesty and the executives!

"But, Your Highness. Any further suggestions will be considered foolish and your Highness will be in danger."

Vlad's allegations were accurate.

Loki is the third prince of the Hizan Empire, but due to birth circumstances, his right to inherit the throne is low. For this reason, over the past few years I have carefully handled it and raised its right to inherit the throne one by one.

However, the rush preceded earlier in the meeting, making that impression worse. Any further failure jeopardizes Loki's position in the Empire. Vlad, the old nobleman, was afraid of it.

"You say it's a right to inherit the throne? Such a thing is no longer useful to me. I will risk this life... to persuade Your Majesty as one man!

Loki's eyes were serious. It's Han's face trying to penetrate his thoughts until he throws it all away.

"Your Highness... why, by then..."

"Vlad, I promised. To Uld's Yamato..." I will convince His Majesty to send reinforcements to Orn. "

Loki was remembering.

About the promise I made to Yamato when I left Orn a month ago. It's a promise, but I didn't want to fall behind just Yamato.

"If we show our imperial souls here, we have no face to make Yamato meet."

"But Lord Yamato of Uld... is no longer..."

"It's okay, Vlad. The man will definitely be back... with the same face he never eats..."

Prince Loki knew. The nature of Wold's yamato.

He also looks like an unfathomable and ruthless schemer at first sight. But in fact, no matter what the situation, Yamato had an indomitable soul that would never give up.

"Sure, that guy was... that kind of guy"

"Right......"

Vlad and the old knight also nod small at Loki's words. Yamato and I have a short relationship, but were so strongly impressed by it.

"Then let's go, it's Vlad!

"Ha, Your Highness...... no, Loki!

Thus Loki, as one man, goes to the place of persuasion risking his own life.

Yamato has disappeared into another world... believe in its absolute return.

I was in Japan. I was dreaming.

Perhaps that would be a dream of another world.

But the voice of the souls of the heated men lingers in their hearts as if they were real.
