Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi

Morning - even so, the sun rose and it was already close to noon.

Finally, the king's capital, Goldonia, came into sight.

"You seem more prepared than I thought."

The main street leading to the South Daimon in Goldonia was dug up, and the excavated soil was mixed with scum stones and piled up everywhere.

"We know our main force is the cavalry. It's a simple but depressing protection. Especially the carriage and tank movements are going to be pretty restricted."

And in front of the castle gate tens of thousands...... if Rebecca's letter is true, two legions, 30,000 soldiers have a rectangular formation that will not allow them to break through.

"Soldiers are also deployed on the city walls. I was wondering if this was 15,000 from the Wang Metropolitan Guard. They have a high bow-to-crossbow ratio with very little cavalry and long spear soldiers. They won't let you out in the open."

We don't have a cannon to smash down the city walls because of mobility issues.

Therefore, the only way to step into the king's capital is to break through the castle gate, where thirty thousand people have solidified themselves disappointingly.

With defense teams lined up all around the city walls, it's unlikely that they'll get through digging holes or putting ropes or ladders on it.

I don't have time to take the nagging oddities through the basement.

"Salvation isn't as good as a fortress in Goldonia."

"It's a first-class city wall, but there's no fortifications, no rounds, just scaling up the town walls."

In other words, if you attach it to the castle gate, you can handle it.

I know how it works to close the gates.

I used to get drunk and make a scene a long time ago and close the castle gate on my own with momentum.

I thought Eirich would kill me then.

"Dear Agil, Mr. Dorothea is here."

I leave my battle readiness to Leopold to jump off the horse.

"Oh, you got away well. Sorry for the rush."

Hold Dorothea with her little child in her hand and her little one on her back.

The timing of the announcement was critical but good in time.

Dorothea looked at me and gave me a reassuring face, but she looks at the army around her and makes her face strong.

"... are you going to war? In Wang Du?

"Ooh."

There was a village nearby.

Let's let them evacuate until it's over.

"I brought the children who were at home. But I'm sure there are some orphans in Goldonia who can't reach me. Besides, if it's a fight, I'm sure it's coming from a happy family now... can't you think of anything?

Attempts to rub Dorothea's chest are rejected and her arms are held with both hands.

"I will try not to."

Neither pre-construction nor repair.

Efforts will be made to ensure that no harm is done to the people in vain.

But if you need it, or if you try, you can't help it. That's what I mean.

Shake Dorothea's hand away gently, stroking her milk and sending her to the village.

"Hardlett said. 'I will try' and…"

When I look in the direction of my voice, Kubihelmina writes something as she watches us interact.

You were following me.

"I keep a record of this battle. Whatever the end, it must be a big turning point. It could be a valuable history book a hundred years away if you write it down fairly."

"Tristan said the same thing. And there was a lizard."

On a good look, Kubihermina was moving her own hair and writing letters.

Oddly the ink looks purple, but what dye is it?

"It's great. The more points of view, the better. Not to speak of a single neck now, but Wilhelmina, my memory, also challenged me not to rule the central plains. The record keeper will be forgiven."

If you want to talk about me anyway, you're a beautiful man. Sweat smelled like roses. Serve me up.

"You can't write lies in history books"

They just slashed me. It's not even on the edge.

"You'd be in trouble if I lost, too."

"If I lose, I'll sink into those swamps and crawl out in a few decades or so. Though they may seem alive and dirty with a decaying body for once, they have yet to find the meaning of life. I don't want to die."

When I say that, Kubihermina is a brush... or I stop my hair and look up at this one.

"... you're a hell of a beauty to know you're a bug on top of being fired"

It's not cuteness or loveliness, it's pure beauty.

"I think it's beautiful. And you don't look old enough to stay young for decades."

"Now if you're not fired, I'm gonna pull you into bed."

Lift the firehermina with both hands.

"If we merge, we'll have a problem."

"Do you want to run the binding?

Tikkuk walks in tech.

No, it's so uncomfortable with an extinct beauty on a child-form tick, it tears my head off before lust.

"There's not much I can do to get fired, but if I survive this battle, I'll figure something out."

"Stay tuned"

I try to put my finger on the lips of the firehermina to the prank.

When you get puckered in a sigh mix, you have countless tongues in your mouth...

"Sorry. I went to the bathroom earlier and forgot to wash it"

It bit me.

You're clever enough to be fierce with your neck alone.

"Well..."

Leoporto looks at this one and waits for the signal.

Then it was when I thought the battle had begun.

"Four horsemen are approaching from the Wang capital. It looks like a messenger."

"You don't have to ask. Shoot him."

I will forcefully stop Leopold's raised hand.

"Wait."

Four horsemen - what an Eirich it was to be in the center.

It's Agor next door, Bruno I miss next door, and Cedric with a bandage on his head at the end.

I was surprised enough to get it on my face.

I didn't expect Eirich himself to come out of the front.

"We should kill them at all costs. If the general dies here, the enemy will undoubtedly be disturbed."

Leoporto is imminent.

I know how you feel. It's most likely to kill Eirich here and storm right after.

For some reason, even Myra said, "Cahaha, don't die." But I decided not to look at this one.

"No."

I can't admit it if I know the reason. That would be too bad.

Eirich stands in front of us without fear and screams.

"Do you have a hardlet?!

"Yes, I am."

When I step forward, Eirich suddenly shows his relief that he can't be showered with arrows, and at the same time he looks sad.

"I thought you'd be fooled, or locked away somewhere."

"Unfortunately"

We stare at each other from the front.

Eirich's eyes are too mixed with anger, pity, agitation, and intrusion to discern emotions.

"You... how can you be so calm?

Even I feel pretty upset.

I've already decided to be ready, but I don't like anything I don't like.

We drink together for a long time, take him away and go to the whorehouse. It's not a beast that can kill each other flat with those guys.

"Come on, Hardlett. We need to talk."

Eirich points to the tent placed between the two armies.

"Do you need to talk now?

Dare to reluctant.

It's not like I don't want to talk about it. But I'm prepared to make up my mind.

"You don't have to worry about time. Move backup while we're talking."

It's a baseless word.

Except to say it's the only word that came out of Eirich's mouth.

"Okay."

I move on Schwartz.

"This is my decision. You think the best again."

I assure you clearly before Leopold says anything.

Into the tent I look at the four in front of me as if to avoid painful silence.

"Sit down."

Eirich Radharde is the one pointing to his face.

Top military division in Gordonia, boss since the Wings of Dawn...... for me I have more in-laws than kings.

I did a lot of fools, and each time Eirich was pissed off to my minute.

……

Bruno-Lenster is the one sitting right next to Eirich, either on my guard or silently.

He's the first man I've seen when I was just a wanderer to each other and also inspired me to get to know Nonna as a result.

I did hear the Viscount recently described me, and the crest on my shoulder... you were the head of the regiment.

"Lord Hardlett..."

Agor is the one showing more troubled faces than Eirich.

This guy's been dating a long time too. After getting to know each other once in the Federation, Christophe and I came all the way to the Central Plains on set.

Unlike Christoph, who was too incompetent, Agor had a military talent as commander, so he built his place firmly in the Royal Army. The rank of the shoulder... Assistant Commander of the Corps?

On the other hand, you haven't forgotten how much I owed you when I was taking care of you, and whenever you came to Wang Capital, you drank alcohol, stole each other's wives and lovers' eyes and even rolled them out to play in the whorehouse.

Even in the war against southern Euglia, we have had a lot of help exploring the labyrinth.

And Cedric. He doesn't hide the look that intimidates me, and he puts the sword off his hips in a position where he can take it in one breath. On the other hand, he must be the one who feels the most fear. I have a bandage on my head, but I think it was an injury.

Watching the triplets react, I sit back on the front of Eirich and put the dual crater aside.

"Drink first."

Pour the liquor that Eirich placed next to him into a glass to serve.

"I'll take it."

When I grabbed the glass and drank it, all four peeled off their eyes.

Why would I be surprised if I drank the alcohol that was served?

"... you don't think it's poisoned"

Eirich tells me to notice, and I stand up holding my chest to bitterness.

"Sooo painful! You trapped him!

"Sit down, you fool"

Eirich pours alcohol into their glass, too, and drinks it up.

And cut it out.

"You'll see the regiment in front of you, won't you? I know you targeted a sudden raid before the general attitude was ready, but the prospect is broken... disarm and run. Save him now, and he'll escape. There's no one else who can stop you. The Rafen attack will also wait long enough for the woman to escape before doing so."

Cedric tries to raise his voice, but he realizes that Eirich won't even look at him and is silent.

"Soldiers and commanders will be disposable and good. Because there's no longer a territory to govern."

I return the glass and the words in silence.

"I forbid it. We still have a chance."

Agor doesn't look spicy.

I thought they might yell at me, but Eirich keeps doing it quietly.

"Why, Eigil. We've come all the way up here together, but we've come from the unreliable to number two and three in the country that dominates the central plain, so why are we rebelling here?"

It's hard when they say it this way.

I should have been swung by an axe all the time I killed him.

"It might sound like a guess. But I thought I could lose to Kenneth to save you. I lost many excellent thoughtful men in Mozadier and Saraed. Still thought I didn't want you dead!! For you...... seven years with me didn't matter. Was it just time to be bored?

I pull out a piece of hair uncomfortably, fly it with my breath, and then give it back.

"I want to be king."

I found everyone's spine frozen except me.

"... does that mean His Majesty has a place to include?

Shake your head.

"There's nothing like that. I just want to be king myself. For this reason, you will not be king in the most loyal ministry."

"Isn't that how you got blown in? To that guy who says Leoporto or something."

In a tone of anger, Eirich says, still somewhere to shudder.

"I have a lot of history. Honestly, I don't know about the raid... or it's all Leopold's fault."

Still, I'm the last person to decide to disobey. It's not Leoporto.

"I've decided to be king. I wasn't fooled or abetted by anyone, but by my own will."

"Is that more important than time and friendship to Goldonia?

Words come out amazingly confusing myself.

"Yes."

It's a very concise and clear word.

"I haven't forgotten what I owe you. I feel like friendship."

Then watch Agor.

"I took care of you and I took care of you. Bringing in Christoph's asshole is a reduction..."

Slight laughter leaks.

Next time I see Bruno.

"You're old, too. If I hadn't seen you, what would have happened to Nonna?"

Her eyes slightly swayed as she narrowed with killing intent.

Last but not least Cedric.

"That injury, then, is it time for one of the raids? I'm sorry, and Marty's fine... but stop craving her sister openly. They're gonna find out if it looks like skinship."

"Hmm!!

Cedric hesitates in panic in the sight of everyone.

"And to His Majesty, too. Honestly, I'm not loyal, but I have a brother-in-law, and I'm not dissatisfied."

I went on to monologue for a long time.

I just have to say the key thing.

"Grace, friendship, peace, stability... throw everything into flames but be king. It's the way I risked my life."

"Look at the situation in front of you. The defensive side is four times better than the siege side, and I know you well. I'm neither alert nor incompetent. It's a winless battle!

I snort.

Don't hesitate to even smile.

"I know a hundred things that are strong. Still, if you don't, there's no point in living."

If you couldn't do it, you had no choice.

I just mourn my own genius and bad luck that I screwed up.

But if you don't. If you give up even though it's possible.

That's to say you're breaking your promise to Lucy from me.

It's synonymous with denying everything you've ever lived.

"I won't stop. Target the throne as a treasonous rebel."

One breath down.

I don't think I need any more salutations.

"So let's hear the opposite. If you surrender, everything will fit."

Eirich will lose to Kenneth and become NO3 no matter what he accommodates this commotion.

Then you can go back to NO2 if you take over the kingdom about me.

Agor and Bruno will also be Marquised at last.

Cedric can be given a close tour of the intense sexual activity between my sister and I.

No one laughed at the suggestion that he was laughed at with his nose and deserved it.

"I can't. I swore allegiance to His Majesty. You can do whatever you want, but you can never break the loyalty you swore to once."

"Same on the right. In my case, not to His Majesty, but to Lord Radharde."

"I naturally follow the Military Director. But the rest of my heart... my sister..."

Cedric looks at me with regret.

You don't have to worry about it.

It was Agor who hesitated to the end.

"To tell you the truth, I owe Sir Hardlett more than His Majesty"

Nothing surprising. That's what this guy is.

Two-stranded and stabbed with a knife in the flank, but thick for righteousness.

"On top of that - no. Your life as a Gordonian soldier has been opened up to you."

"Can't you? Now I'm gonna put Christophe on my men with privileges."

"The stray has disappeared. Say no!!

A slight laugh occurs at the end.

We raise our glasses and toast.

"Now I know why you have calm eyes"

Eirich said without turning his face.

"You were finally ready. I thought it was my last chance to convince you... that it was a farewell feast."

"If so, I wanted the woman to have it too"

A rebel is slapped in the head for being busy.

"How much?"

"Oh."

Me and Eirich get up and the others go on.

Leaving the tent I jump on Schwartz and head back under Leopold, who is farsighted and faceless but has a skanky vibe, and Celia, who is getting a little closer with a crawl forward to see if I'm worried.

If it were to come true, I would have rewinded my time for about a month and played at the whorehouse with Eirich again.
