Hardlett Northern Saraed Village Evening

Lonely, needless to say, a small village beyond the countryside.

A disproportionate group was now pushing in large numbers to its village of Saraed.

"Minister, you have arrived at your place of stay today"

"Very good as planned. But it is uncomfortable to 'minister' because my duty now is to be the head of the inspection delegation. Captain, or Lord Fitton."

The old gentleman strokes his hoarded white beard and gets off the carriage in a firm gait.

He was the head of the Hardlett territorial inspection corps, the Minister of State, Burga-Fitton, who had been ordained by the King.

"It's a crude and superb bedroom, but it's just a rural old place..."

Guided by a tense village chief and deputy was the biggest and sturdiest, less gap windy deputy mansion in the village.

Of course, it does not extend to the mansions of the lower nobles of the King's capital in everything.

"I'm sorry, sir. If I could afford a date, I could have stayed in a town that passed by noon."

By aristocratic standards, the lowlife apologizes while opening the doors to crude excellence.

"Then let's delay our arrival in Rafen for a day. Your Majesty tells you to go as quickly as possible. Being faithful to the King's destiny is paramount, bedding comfort is secondary."

"Tomorrow Rafen will have a suitable place to stay. Please be patient."

Fitton leaned slightly into the narrow room, but sat back in the chair without complaining.

"It is the outsiders of the abode who are more desolate. Aren't they saving their lives?

"If I say hello to my lord in Rafen, I'll check the treasure trove - I'll take charge of it."

"You can't be ruling this colony and not making a backing fund - no, no, I'm the one who's fit"

"Why don't you just step in and buy Sir Hardlett's wrath all of a sudden - what do you guys want to do? Then me too!

"Then let's give up the treasure trove ride."

"Er!?

All we talk about is how those chosen by the Kenneths hide their injustice, and how they ambush and uncover it.

"As different as the paperwork and the numbers are, it's not a cover, it's a mistake. Sir Hardlett should be informed and corrected. '

"It's a land of untouchable size where carriages run all day to a decent town. Even if the number of soldiers is a little high, it's not a problem."

'Don't panic if your lady comes out of bed or closet. You've got made-up clothes to disguise?

On the other hand, those chosen by the Eirich talk about excuses and so on.

Fitton shook his head small.

"Your Majesty said, 'Inspect the hardlet territory and reveal everything'. Deciding there's an injustice, assuming there's shelter, is out of the essence."

Fitton continued with a cup of tea served by his last name.

"I'm not a fool for a nonsense. I know His Majesty will keep the two factions evenly in balance. At the same time, it also means having an unbridled stone head set on the head of the regiment."

"Allegedly?

White beard stands without heart or pin.

"Non can neither doubt nor shelter Hardlett. I intend to report to His Majesty only the facts confirmed by my eyes and ears. Whatever the factions, or the neutrals, say. My power does not extend far to the Chief Military Officer or the Chief Internal Affairs Officer... but it was this one who ordered the Chief Inspector. Bending the truth cannot be done in the name of His Majesty and of Goldonia."

A cautious man who beats stone bridges and doesn't cross, a man who lives by eating honesty, a king's gear.

My last name makes me laugh remembering the disdain that made me look like the Lord's honor.

As I wondered how this lack of accommodation would affect the inspection from tomorrow, a volume decree scratching off the speech of the inspection team face-to-face sounded.

"Confirm the entry of all inspection teams into the village! Put him in security at the entrance and exit!

"At the same time as the sun falls, the night shift leaves to look around! The noon shift is in the village, waiting armed!

"We've been contacted when we hit southeast alert from the Lord Hardlett Army!

They are not members of the inspection team, but knights of the kingdom who were entrusted with escorts.

"There are two hundred escorts against fifty by the inspection team. And the Hardlett Army there...? I think it's too much."

"Because there was just a raid. Given the history, we can't just leave it to the hardlet soldiers."

I also knew, of course, the rumors that Hardlett might have raided both factions.

That is also the reason why the Knight of the Kingdom is attached to the protection of those who visit it with a royal decree that should be fulfilled by the Lords.

"Why can't you? His Majesty publicly concluded that both raids were the work of thieves. Then do not question our Lord Hardlett."

My surname hastily blocks my mouth, which is called a stonehead, and spins another word.

"Sir Hardlett is also said to be able to mobilize 10,000 soldiers in the first place. If you're serious about being 200 and 300, you're not going anywhere."

"I thought you said you couldn't be suspicious. That force is also an important subject of inspection."

As I say, I also don't really think that my surname Hardlett will do anything.

The task of the Knight of the Kingdom is close to public relations, although it is the escort of the inspection team.

The main purpose is to facilitate cooperation by informing the people on the road that the inspection team has come by fate.

"The deputy is still escorting, making it look like an accident and giving the captain's life -"

"It's tough, Hamito. To put it any further, I have to disagree with my granddaughter's marriage.... what makes you pregnant before your wedding as a better companion than you were when you were young"

The first name smiles bitterly and lays down on the floor and begs forgiveness.

Of course Fitton doesn't mean it either. He also seemed to enjoy interacting with his lowest surname rather.

In any case, it is impossible to assassinate 200 knights by making them look like accidents or madness.

And there can be no full-scale attack.

For there is nothing but rebellion under the Kingdom flag, such as attacking in its territory a team of inspectors entrusted to the King.

"Madam Commander, I have plans for tomorrow, but are you going to let me just say hello to Sir Hardlett?

"No. I have one thing to look into as a top priority"

Fitton looks out the window with his expression tightened.

"With a snitch from a certain muscle. Sir Hardlett has come to say that he keeps one of the rebel parties hidden in his territory. Old women and toddlers... are you a girl now?"

"Are you one of the rebels?

Fitton closes his eyes to remind him of something against Hamito, who looks suspicious.

"You never think. If you look at a face that you know well, you can see it at a glance. Well, early tomorrow. Confirm your plans for tomorrow and rest early."

Fitton leaves the building with his collar in place.

And I stopped moving perfectly.

An unusual air that can also be felt in a fitton that has never been out on the battlefield.

The unique earthy smell of the countryside is strangely entwined in the nose.

The horse on which the knight rides changes direction without meaning, and the farming horse in the village suddenly hisses.

"Upward alert -!!"

A watchdog standing in the village raised his voice.

When they all look up, a bright red arrow tinted by the sunset makes a noise with Zaa and falls down.

"Whoa!

"Arrow? Arrow!? From where!!

The confused aristocrats jump from their heads to our farmhouses and barns first.

"My Lord Minister!

Hamito grabs Fitton's arm and drags him into the deputy mansion.

Everyone ate bubbles at the sudden shooting, but after about thirty seconds of confusion, the knights first regained their calm.

"Around thirty arrows! Damage...... None! It hasn't arrived properly on top of not a big number!

"Hold the entrance and exit of the village tight! Expand the day shift to the front and the night shift to the back."

"It's a defensive posture until we find out what the enemy looks like! Don't let one rat in!

The Knights regain control and hide in a place with a roof also restores room for the inspectors' faces.

"Apparently it's not going to be like a mosadier"

"Not many...... are ignorant thieves gathered to see our outfits"

"I hear there is a settlement of savages to the east. Or maybe."

Arrows pour down again, but the Kingdom Knight's gear is gracefully decorated yet not neglected in performance.

The walls of neatly lined shields easily remove the arrows that strike.

Raiders with faces out of the bush were also identified.

There are no fifty or two hundred kingdom knights to be broken through.

Traditional aristocrats, who were particularly upset, breathe back.

"Apparently he's just a thief... his liver's cold for a second"

"Tell the Cavalier to get rid of it."

My intentions for the future also breathe back when I can afford it.

"You hardlets have failed to allow us to attack the thieves. Aren't you able to govern properly?"

"This is also an opportunity. After that, if only there was one dead knight in the kingdom..."

"How difficult would it be for Radharde's hands to fail this as well? Look at Sir Fitton, will you?

"Whatever." The raid was about fifty thieves. I see the Kingdom flag and it still strikes. I have serious doubts about the people's loyalty to the kingdom and the maintenance of law and order. "

Fitton spells pale in the notebook he takes out.

Where several sporadic arrows have been prevented, the commander of the knight, who had made the safety of the inspection team a top priority and was thoroughly guarded, finally gives instructions to fight back.

"The enemy is fifty infantry only. We'll storm and trample!!

Half the knights ride with their defenses broken, and the other half are a formation of iron walls that continue to consolidate their defenses in preparation for further ambushes.

"He is an infidel who bows to the king's flag. You may not surrender, you may slaughter them, but you may capture them alive to investigate."

The chief knight nods at Fitton's words and takes the lead by lowering the cover of his face.

The knights line up to continue.

"Let the thieves remind him of the strength of kingdom knights!

A hundred men, led by the Knight Chief, storm towards the thieves lurking in the bush.

Fifty infantry soldiers and a heavy cavalry knight are no match for a hundred.

Horizontal row of assault formations, those with crossbows on the outside were arranged, formations that could be broken through without any problems with a little bit of twitching.

"Start the raider escape!

"Naturally! Don't let one of them get away with it!

The knights have no doubt whatsoever that the raiders have abandoned their bows and started walking away.

I'm going to increase the speed of letting you get away with it.

"Wrong person to put your hands on, to hell with remorse -"

The Knight Commander suddenly raised it.

It's not a metaphor or a mistake.

The ground bounced, his beloved horse's neck lifted, and the first half of the knight jumped to the sky with every armor.

The knights' surprised voices are scratched off by the roar.

The sound of an iron bullet engulfing his face and torso, his screams, the sound of his life disappearing, were all erased by the roar of breaking his tympanic membrane.

"What happened!?

Only those in the rear can scream decently.

"If so, explosion!? No, look at that -!!"

A cleverly disguised carriage stopped at the tip of the knight left in the village pointing fingers.

I wonder if people moved around the carriage, the roar and smoke go up, put it down for a few seconds and a few knights blow it together.

"Cannon!? Such an idiot...... they are thieves!?

Voices are raised that they cannot be believed by the new nobles who took part in the war against southern Euglia.

"It's a new weapon not even found in the Royal Army, such as a cannon that shoots while still connected to a carriage! No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

There was no time left to continue the analysis.

A farmer, where several people were caged, is instantly crushed.

"Iron Bullet!? Or a catapult!!

It was cutting the sky black with the iron ball dyeing into the sunset.

"Evacuate! A wooden roof before a catapult means nothing."

The barn that took a direct hit crumbles with every contents, the private house collapses in half, and the knight guarding the entrance becomes a stain on the ground with every shield.

"My lord -!!"

Hamito grabs Fitton by the arm and runs away.

After a few seconds, the deputy mansion collapses to collapse from its center after receiving three rounds of iron bullets.

"This kind of... inspection... lives..."

Grab Fitton's shoulder and Hamito screams.

"New cannon on catapult! You can't have thief style! This is a hardlet attack! Because villages like this are still surrounded! Evacuate immediately!

Hamito desperately draws Fitton's hand.

Things get worse and worse in the meantime.

"Arrows are coming!

"The numbers and momentum are not the ratio we just had!!

Shooting like heavy rain if earlier arrows were light rain.

A knight who runs away from the iron sphere disrupting his faction with nobles without a roof to protect him falls flabby.

"Around! Sir Hardlett... why... my sister..."

Cedric, who was jumping on a horse, receives an arrow on his shoulder and falls.

"Hey Hardlet!! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sister!!

Rivals caught in fragments of destroyed buildings roll down the ground screaming curse words.

"Crouch!"

An arrow stood on Fitton's forehead as Hamito looked back at the short scream.

"My Lord!!

Power falls out of the old man's legs and he goes silently to the ground.

Hamito tries desperately to hold him up.

"My lord... my lord..."

The arrow will stand medium, eyes will open, and the body will not be slight.

It was instant death in everyone's eyes.

Hamito rises with the Lord rolled to the ground.

We are supposed to have to bring back the Lord's remains. If that's not possible, we have to protect the remains and destiny together.

But I can't.

You can't be shot in this place.

The most important thing to do was to cut through this scene and report things to the King as soon as possible.

"Whoa!

Hamito rises and runs through the rain of arrows and iron balls.

I can see the inspection team and the kingdom knights lying on the sidelines getting killed to fold.

From around the village there was a sound of horseshoes that did not belong to the kingdom knights.

Taken by the vibration of a falling iron ball, Hamito jumps on a horse that has lost the Lord, ignoring the pain of an arrow stabbing him in the arm.

Hamito rushes to the north, with an arrow poking his foot against his arm on its back.

The village exit was piled with the remains of a kingdom knight, who changed and another cavalry was about to enter.

"Get out of the way!!

Swing your sword at doomsday tea without slowing down, breaking through the middle of a delayed cavalry in response.

The young man ran through like a wind into the streets leading to the north.

Severe back pain and spilling blood shake my consciousness.

"Your Excellency… must… to Your Majesty…"

The moment he looks forward with his determined eyes, Hamito is beaten to the ground with one spin per horse.

"It's a good decision to prioritize escape. Good behavior before the siege was completed."

There were thick chains involved in the legs of horses with broken necks and cramps.

"But it's foolish to escape the streets while watching a planned attack using even a siege weapon."

A crossbow is erected and Hamito's consciousness falls into darkness.

"Now the plan is complete."

I hear a woman.

"You let me get away, so I helped. I have no idea why."

The other party's low, unchallenged voice could no longer reach Hamito's ear.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Rafen

Ear damage sound with cracked ceramics.

"So, are you okay!

We were busy getting ready to be scratched around the mansion by the inspection team until the day changed and we were finally eating near dawn,

That's where an urgent message came in from a unit that was putting Saraed on guard.

"Saraed Assault - Pattern of total annihilation of inspection team and escort knights"

That's the sound of a graduated nonna smashing a dish with her forehead.

"You think the raid is wiped out anyway?

I listen back chewing on the sausage.

"Ha, Commander, Sir Burga-Fitton. Most of the following inspection teams were killed. The kingdom knights had also left a very small number of seriously wounded and almost all had been murdered!

"That's terrible."

I pour tomato soup and then release the spoon onto the table.

"Oh no... why... I've worked so hard"

There are tears all over Celia's eyes.

Claudia freezes with a fork stuck in her steak.

Adolph is similarly zeroing his first dinner in a day onto the bottoms and floor.

The paperwork I was reviewing while eating is also scattered off and wet to oil and soup.

"Most buildings were completely half-destructed at the scene… from the circumstances, I thought catapults and field artillery were used."

"Then you wouldn't be a thief."

Grab the steak attachment with your bare hands and throw it into your mouth.

Myra holds her mouth and runs to the corner of the room.

Tristan held his head with both hands and slammed it against his desk.

Mel calls and hugs the children as they tremble.

"In view of the situation… I was wondering if I should report it to Master Hardlett before passing it on to the Chief Military Officer or the Wang Capital."

I lean down to Ceclito and my dietary hand is stopped.

"Hmm..."

Nonna came back to life when I got up.

"Let's Run, Dear Agil!!

He leaves his shoes on a table lined with meals, steps on the dishes and jumps at them.

"Let's get out of here! Let's Run!! I need a life-saving inspection team... they won't listen to any more excuses!

One crying nonna in my chest.

I pound and scream at the breast of the decree when I wonder if I gave him a face.

"The next thing you know... they will kill you again... Master Agil, the children and Kara will all be killed -!!"

Nonna panicking and rambling.

It would be useless for the situation to hold onto the situation alone, so I would lift it forcefully and shoulder it.

This way, the movement stops for now.

"Beep!!

I can't help crying anymore.

No one opens their mouth except for Nonna's crying voice.

Kubihelmina was crawling out of her bump and putting together Zazen.

The hair is cleverly used to write difficult characters.

"Well, I don't care what you think. I'm the only one who did it."

I don't know what they all do by simultaneously arguing wah.

"But I don't remember it at all. So let's hear it."

"To whom do I ask?"

I glance around lightly and then scream.

"Leoporto. You're here, right?

The door opens.

It's not good momentum, it's not slow.

As usual, he comes in with an unfathomable face, stretching only his spine in vain.

"Would you like to call me?

In a flat tone with no discouragement on every gloomy face.

I look like I'm getting tired, too.

"When will battle cannons and catapults return"

"Catapult will be in the morning after tomorrow. We're stopping the field cannons because there's no point in pulling them out."

I guess earache silence refers to this.

You can hear everything from broken dishes to the sound of soup falling on the floor one drop at a time.

"Fu, fu, kuku! Hahahahaha!! You did it! You finally did it!!

Using Secrito's mad laughter as a signal, Nonna shouts so much that the window trembles, and Celia flies to Leoporto.

Myra pulled out her sword crying and raised an anger that Adolf didn't look good on her face.

"Everybody shut up."

Calm all voices and movements with one voice.

Watch Ceria, who paused in the air, fall to the floor with her mouth blocked before continuing.

"Leoporto, is that you?

Ask as you gently unload the shouldered nonna.

"-Rip."
