Episode 360: Southern War: Liberties Surrender

Liberty Stolt Ent

"Dear Agil, I'm in trouble!

Celia jumps into the room.

"Hmm!

All of a sudden Marta, who was serving my male roots, gets her thoughtful teeth up in surprise.

"Ah!"

I look like shit, but with her little teeth, my mane roots don't get hurt.

Rather, it became a good stimulus and the sperm began to appear.

"Ngu... Ngu"

"Can't we at least wait till we're out?

"I can't wait. Take a look at it as you put it out."

Celia blankets every Marta she sucks on my lower body before giving me the seal.

It was torn everywhere and even had blood on it.

You don't seem calm.

"This is a call from Mr. Eirich. A pseudo-messenger jumped in through the castle gate to the southern Eugrian army in front of me. Unfortunately, my injuries ran out very quickly..."

If he brought you here with his life, would it be love to see him soon?

"Nguuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Open a bloody letter, distracted by Marta's desperation.

The content was more shocking than the state of the letter.

"This is... That's right."

"May I see it, too?

"Oh, your seeds have stopped"

The disciplined Celia didn't seem to have seen it first.

Face me out of my side and I'm out of line.

"With my life, all the troops of the kingdom are gathered in the king's capital... no reinforcements will be forthcoming... think there will be no reinforcements. Oh no..."

Celia's face turns blue.

I don't want to see Celia like that, so I gently tickled aside and looked, but there was no response.

"Bring everyone in. If Gido has a woman, just give her five minutes."

Celia replies briefly and pops up.

Late at night, even President White, dressed in his bedroom, assembles in the conference room.

I cut out quickly as Celia stared at the giddo that kept me waiting for five minutes.

"In conclusion. Goldonian reinforcements are not coming."

After a moment of silence, a voice of amazement and confusion leaks.

"... is that to say that reinforcements will be delayed?

Brian says slowly.

I guess it's because the struggle hasn't stopped since the defeat earlier.

"No, you won't come anymore"

Eirich will let you know if you're late, including that time of year.

That means reinforcements will never come.

"Isn't that what you promised!

"I said I chose Cage Castle because I said I could count on Goldonian reinforcements!

There's nothing you can do about it if you tell me.

Besides, I wouldn't have had a choice but a cage castle to lose all that flashy.

The hustle and bustle continued for a while.

Celia stands forward like she's sheltering me, but the complaints fly over my head.

I hope it's healing.

"Either way, if we don't have reinforcements, we have to rethink our strategy."

Brian controls around and then says to President White.

"Fortunately, the city has plenty of food, supplies. Recruiting soldiers from citizens while shielding and consolidating their walls and exhausting their enemies with massive counter-attacks will leave a chance of breaking the siege."

As things stand, the enemy's power is still increasing over 100,000.

The Liberty Army, including the wounded, won't compete if they join my army at about 30,000.

But there are more than 150,000 in Tortoent, so if you conscript some tens of thousands temporarily, you won't be able to counter them either.

Gordonia would naturally do that, but what about fulfilling it and in Liberties?

President White looked difficult and nodded one.

"I understand what the Secretary of Defense says. But that's not for you to decide, and I can't do it alone."

That's what I said. Now look at me.

"Tomorrow I will hold Parliament as a matter of urgency. Commander Hardlett must join us."

President White slapping me on the shoulder saying so.

"Huh."

I will snort for once, but what is Parliament?

- The next day.

I was appropriately advised by Congress to interact with the President, the Senators, and Brian and the others.

But I don't think I can sleep.

"I didn't hear the war was so bad!

"You weren't a bit of a loser!

"How are the military going to take responsibility! You tax thief!

"That's really weird..."

The curse of flying from the senators on the floor is also appalling, but this is another amazing voice like a citizens' grunt that would be surrounding the floor.

"Because I tell the people something extra. People are stupid things, it's best to lay low and move the truth."

Leoporto also comes on a rare and futile story about whether he is not interested in the content of the debate.

"I'm sure this doesn't determine anything."

Celia also tells me as if she was frightened.

Arguments that just yell at each other like this often end without deciding anything.

But they betray us.

President White slowly rose to his feet as he flew his fury.

"Be silent… I have now been elected as a citizen of Liberty and will report to all Members of Parliament on the peace negotiations with the Southern Eugenian Empire"

"Peace negotiations?

Unexpectedly, my voice goes out.

Leoporto shakes his head small with no expression and begins to listen with a serious face.

Looking away, Brian and Jim look surprised, too.

I didn't seem to let my allies know anyway.

"Since the defeat earlier, I have to say that the war situation has unfortunately been extremely unfavourable"

President White speaks with an exaggerated gesture.

"I cannot deny that this condition of peace is humiliating to us."

What... "Temporary delegation of command of the military," "Temporary delegation of diplomatic power," "Revision of the tax system" Hmm.

"Isn't this your country!

"You can't concede so much to an invader!

The senators make a scene.

Brian is just saying the opposite.

"Certainly not a delightful condition. But this one didn't give way in all respects either. Our country's backbone, freedom and democracy, will be preserved."

What... "Guarantee of citizens' property", "Maintenance of democracy, preservation of the institutions of governance".

"I don't care about property even though I can change taxes. You can't resist if they take the army away in the first place, so I don't think it's a condition or anything."

You just have to beat him down without worrying about your promise after he's irresistible.

"We should not accept such conditions! I guess you didn't forget how they started the war!? It's someone you don't deserve to believe!

Brian and the military agree.

But President White didn't move at all.

"Well then, Secretary of Defense, tell me about the current state of the war and the chances of winning."

Brian stands up with a bitter face.

"… As things stand, the southern Eugrian army has deployed more than approximately 120,000 troops around the capital. In contrast, we have about 30,000 troops under restructuring and 15,000 troops of Commander Hardlett... and 45,000 combined."

Again, the disadvantage is obvious and the sigh leaks from the senators.

"I think our chances of winning in the field are thin. We'll issue a savings order, prepare for a long-term cage castle, and we'll recruit soldiers from the citizens to reinforce the army."

"A saving order? Did you mean to impose restrictions on citizens' wealth?

"Citizen to soldier!? You're not forcing me to conscript!

"That's against the freedom of our country! It's not a good word to get out of a soldier's mouth!

The senators make a scene.

"I want you to listen to me! On top of that, on top of that, if we continue to engage, we want the enemy to abandon the siege, or at least not on terms equal to surrender - we want you to stop the wild!

Brian screaming desperately, but the senators' anger never stops.

"Didn't this happen because the army wasn't impudent in the first place!

"How much damage will be done for that! You think you can gain civic understanding!

"Anyone who hasn't won an election says something of his own accord! It's a change, make a motion for change!

I don't know what to do anymore.

Let's even stroke Celia's legs - that's oddly stiff... I stroked Leoporto's thigh.

I feel terrible, should I change you too?

The president returns to the stage where the senators made a scene.

"I guess the Secretary of Defense has given us the best idea of victory. I respect your talent and the heart that loves your country."

It just looks like you hung Brian up.

"But even if we win that way, can that really be called a victory? Does it make sense to let the citizens die and the victory they gained until they burned the wealth they built?

I don't think you can say that if you look at a pioneering village with great eloquence but actually being robbed.

"I am therefore going to take this peace proposal. Above all, it is our most important mission to consider the interests of our citizens."

I really hope the interests of the citizens remain.

"This is truly a decision that determines the fate of the nation. With all due consideration, senators..."

I don't even need to hear it from there.

The Liberty government decided to make peace with the Southern Eugrian Empire - to respond to the recommendations for de facto surrender.

Return to command with Brian and Jim, who are stunned.

There is no need to hurry. You don't have to run around thinking about restructuring or defending your army anymore.

"Don't be discouraged. There are more things that don't work out in the world. I can't even pick up my loved ones."

That's what I'll tell you, but I'm not responding.

It's like a funeral and it gets dark this way.

"Well, I'll see you later."

I hear the opposite cheer from us quietly.

President White is giving a speech of peaceful acceptance to the citizens of Liberty.

At first, there was mayhem, and I thought that if we did poorly, it might even happen in the rebellion, but if we opened the lid, the citizens accepted it surprisingly lightly.

"The war will soon be over. Then food and clothes will come in just like before. You'll always be able to get out of town."

"You don't have to put up with smoked meat anymore."

"Will the price of vegetables also fall?"

"I can also schedule a trip with her. That's Chris!

Citizens seem more interested in daily living than in terms of harmony.

"Once the war is over, we plan to repeal the transactional taxes that were imposed on us temporarily."

"I couldn't help but lose my profit because of that."

"End the war anyway. Whatever it takes for my son to return safely to the army."

Citizens are making noise as if they have won the war.

"Why... freedom is the most honorable thing... even if it's something you have to protect and inherit from your children and grandchildren... how can you not understand that justice..."

"Maybe I was a little too much anticipation for the citizens."

Jim and Brian go through the spot lowering their hats.

Citizens look at us in military uniform and get mildly evil and get drunk on President White's speech again.

"Well, this must be it"

Freedom. Whatever, but most people have their lives first, their wealth second.

That's nothing bad or unnatural.

Honestly, I'm no different.

My own woman just comes above my life.

It's bad for Jim, but 'defending your freedom' is a stupid story. The only point is if I live free.

It is no longer free for me or for others at a time when I am defending the freedom I have been given for others.

In other words, choosing whether to defend or not to defend freedom is also part of freedom... gummy.

"Master Agil, what's wrong? Oh, I have a fever!

Celia puts her hand on my forehead and makes a scene.

"You've been thinking about something difficult with a serious look on your face since earlier? That's not what Agil's head is for, so if you overdo it, you'll get fever."

Celia's always nice.

Anyway, I don't love a free country or a system, and I don't want to risk my life to protect it.

"Justine... my country..."

"Still, I'll do whatever it takes to show my ideals to future generations"

All I think about is that I want to help Jim and Brian with all the tears.

Three days later, Liberties officially notified the southern Eugrian side of its acceptance of the harmony.

"Officially surrender...... no, as soon as the harmony enters into force, we will disarm. I don't think this is a very pleasant situation, but I need you to remain vigilant until it comes into force."

The commanders responded small to Brian's lesson.

It's not about morale or anything anymore, but it doesn't make sense to blame it now.

"The southern Eugenian side is also demanding that the Goldonian reinforcements appear in command after disarming"

"I understand. I'll be ready."

"Hey."

Leopold answered before I could.

"... then thank you. Don't really bother me."

Brian laughs sadly and leaves.

"Hey, why are you saying this on your own?"

You won't have to surrender to us just because Liberties surrenders in the first place.

I was trying to escape because I was confused.

"I will not surrender, no matter what. If you're tied up, you'll be executed for a reason, or at least you won't be able to go back to Rafen."

Leoporto continues with vigilance around him.

"Now that we have communicated our acceptance of the surrender, the enemy's alert will be most relaxed. We'll open the gates from the inside later this evening to forcibly break through and return to Gordonian territory."

"The battle is ready by yesterday."

Myra also says with a frivolous face.

"Have you lied to Brian?"

"Our survival is paramount. I'm not even lying, though."

"Understand to surrender, prepare to escape."

Celia says.

Fine.

I'm not going to get caught too hard.

But the enemy has already completely besieged Tortoent, and the Liberty Army will no longer move.

"Can we break the siege by ourselves?

"Enough is possible"

You're out of words.

"We don't just put ourselves at the mercy of our enemies. If it's a blind night, you can't tell our troops are the only ones who tried to break through."

Well, I guess so.

"The commander of the enemy must consider the possibility that all units of the Liberty Army withdrew their consent to surrender and launched an ambush. If so, we must be vigilant around Tortoent, and we cannot break the siege in a detour. Our purpose is not to defeat the enemy, but to break through, so it's possible enough."

Can you handle it if you just break through?

But that's not going to be a big deal after we're unscrupulous.

"Maybe we'll start a full-scale fight on that. Open the gates and exit, so it will be a battle in Tortoent."

About that...... and Leoporto goes on.

"It's not what I found out. For me the top priority is my own life, and then Sir Hardlett's."

He trivialized himself.

"I am Master Agir best!

All right, all right, I'm glad you told Celia that, but you prioritize your own life.

If you shelter me and Celia dies, my heart could stop in shock.

"Hmm..."

I don't care about Liberties, but I'm sorry about Brian and Jim.

"So give up and surrender to southern Euglia?

"No, let's do it"

Brian and Jim like it, and I'd like to help them if that's possible.

But you can never be a prisoner with Celia or Myra on this occasion.

I can't believe southern Euglia just needs to catch us.

Priorities must not be different.

"The problem is a cavalry group of enemies who supposedly will come after the dawn of the night to grasp the situation and chase it. It's impossible to shake it off than having infantry here. It'll be a tough fight."

My whole army rides, but the Royal Army is mostly on foot.

"Worst case scenario, you might need to trump them whole"

"Don't do that till the end."

It's not just the mood I don't want to abandon my men.

If you abandon your allies and run away, no soldiers will follow you from the next.

Eirich won't trust me either.

"The only time I can forgive it is when it takes to save my woman's life."

"Understood."

We must not change our priorities.

And in the middle of the night, we're ready in front of the North Gate, turning off the pine lights and squeaking our eyes into the shade.

Good thing Liberty soldiers aren't around.

I guess he's even sleeping if he can't help being vigilant anymore.

Normally there are no soldiers in front of the gate, which can be easily opened.

On the other hand, over the city walls, the fire is burning so brilliantly in excess.

Serious southern Eugenian soldiers should be watching the fire without sleeping.

"Let's go."

Someone grabs my hand when I try to wave it up.

- Did you find him?

That was Brian.

Well, it's been a pain in the ass.

Do we just have to argue with each other before an escape play that seems like a lot of hard work?

"Don't worry. I'm not here to interrupt."

That said, Brian signals small.

Those who are not soldiers because they see them as only a few soldiers.

Oh, there's Susie, too.

"They are the ones who do not surrender as good, from the right - no, there is no time. Let's not."

Brian laughs lightly.

"Please let them get away with it. If Liberties were to perish, the buds of freedom would come out again as long as they were there. Jim, you asked for it, too."

"Again, the Secretary of Defense is with us..."

Looking into Brian's eyes, Jim cut the words and just nodded.

It looks like Jim will be escorting the exiles.

"Now go. We'll cover as much as we can."

"Aren't you going to surrender?

Brian laughs.

"The harmony has not yet entered into force. Besides, it won't be what you think."

It's like a ready eye.

I don't need to ask any more questions.

"Open the castle gate. At the same time, water the pine lights."

The castle gate opens with a loud noise.

It should sound good in the middle of the night and the enemy will notice strangely.

It's a forcible breakthrough, not a sneak escape.

"Assault. Run."

"Whoa, whoa!!

Lead with me and the escort, and the cavalry, the infantry, as I speak.

"It's a night raid -!"

"The fools have surrendered!

"Reinforcements!? Or is that a trick?

Arrows fly simultaneously from the bow cavalry towards the enemy.

A bow cavalry arrow, accustomed to the darkness, captures enemies precisely.

The arrows of the enemy that rushed back fly in a completely different direction.

For once, he seemed wary of night raids, but on the contrary, his eyes, which continued to see more brilliantly torched pine lights than usual, were not used to the sudden darkness.

It'll only take a few minutes, but it's a precious time for us right now.

"Break through!"

I put a spear over 3m on a horse and pierce the enemy in the front row.

The Liberty Spear Squad told me to disarm him anyway.

I thought a long reach would be good.

"Cancer!"

The spear with Schwartz's acceleration forcefully pierces the torso part of the enemy soldier.

He swings around forcefully with a person stabbed further ahead to disrupt the surrounding enemy formation.

"Damn, you monster. Go after him, I'll definitely let him get away with it - Around!

A bow cavalry steps into the horde of enemy soldiers who tried to chase me, trampling me with horseshoes.

Anyway, it's a linear assault prioritizing breakthroughs.

When I pierced the other one further and tried to shake it further, I made a slight noise and the spear broke.

"Yeah, brittle."

Pull out the long sword and slap the opportunistic and incoming enemy soldiers.

He breaks his head and dares the enemy he slaughtered to be bounced by Schwartz to fly left and right.

There is no point in killing any number of enemies.

Above all, a slightly larger breakthrough must be opened.

That's when a screaming voice comes up from the whole enemy.

"Whoa!

"Fire arrows fly from the entire tortoise entrance!

"You lied about them surrendering!

Arrows are being rammed and shot in all directions from the city of Tortoent.

The aim is obviously appropriate, but it cannot be ignored.

The enemy who was trying to hunt us stopped to prepare for further raids.

"Brian."

Unlike me, Brian is from this country.

You won't just be sorry if you do this.

But that's Brian's decision, not mine.

If we take the exiles through the siege, his thoughts will also be fulfilled.

The bow cavalry swoops left and right as he breaks through the front enemy, inviting confusion in the enemy formation.

Tanks also shoot big crossbows. The blade on the wheel does not look good in the dark, causing the enemy to open more distance than necessary.

Archers also randomly fire arrows into tears as they run.

Since the allies are only in front and behind, there is less danger of peer pleasure. If you hit it, you'll make money.

Finally, the infantry forces kick the confused enemy with shields and swords to turn down the worry behind them.

"You must not put out the light of freedom! Justine, take formation!

A handful of soldiers led by Jim are also disappointingly protecting the displaced.

I suppose the morale and the high proficiency were gathered together.

You look overwhelmed with Southern Eugrian soldiers who are never weak.

"What makes Justine give in to each of you!

Jim himself is a brilliant fighter.

He holds the Great Sword and the Great Shield with one hand each, slamming around kicking, punching and head pounding enemy soldiers.

Oh, I even left Lariat.

I can't lose, either.

Sift and fly your enemies with big shields in the front to soften up their long swords.

Fly the neck of a spear soldier aiming at Schwartz's foot from the right, and let the left enemy jump at Schwartz himself.

"There's another demon out there! Shoot him, shoot him!

Crossbow soldiers aim at this one simultaneously.

Watch the firing finger move and stick out the shield and play the bolt.

It's hard to shoot down the bolt itself, but if you know it before it fires, it's easy to prevent it.

"Gu."

There was a shock in the stomach opposite Zdon.

Looks like they were after my back too. Brilliantly, a bolt is stabbed in the gap in my armor.

"Shit."

Luckily it stopped with muscle so I quickly pull it out and throw it away and put it away.

Celia checks on me regularly as she fights, but apparently she wasn't noticed.

Make her worry too much. On the contrary, she'll be in trouble if she gets hurt.

"Almost there. We can go."

"Ohhhh!!

Just a few moments after the breakthrough.

"Ah, Christoph!

"That fool."

I can't stop my legs here. If they do, you can't pick him up anymore.

"I didn't get hit!

Unexpectedly, I'm going to fall horse.

Christophe, who was about to be thrown down by a long spear, twisted his body like a crooked artist and avoided the spear.

It would be a coincidence not intended as far as the expression goes.

"You can do it!

"I've never seen you look good!

Praise Christophe one after another as the convoy fights.

My stomach hurts when I try to get him on a light mouth, too.

I guess I'll stop wasting my mouth.

With Brian's support and allied struggle, we succeed in breaking through the siege of Tortoent.

But the real deal is coming up.

There is still a distance until it reaches Gordonian territory, and it is inconceivable that a group of enemy cavalry will not come after us.

"You're gone."

"Yes, you went"

Brian smiles at David before ordering the attack to stop.

"Attack halted. Fly the white flag immediately. Send out the messenger. The contents..."

"The attack is not in the will of the Liberty government at the discretion of a runaway rebel. We have no intention of withdrawing our surrender. I promise to hand over your country and punish the parties'

"Secretary of Defense…"

Brian doesn't break his grin.

"Ha, don't look like that. This would also be a natural reward for failing to protect my country. Besides, it left a seed for the future. It's cheap enough to make me a traitor to spit on."

"... it could be cheap indeed. At least I can't make it if I'm in line."

Brian and David walked out to the gendarmerie in a hurry with a grin.
