Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

103. Messengers from the border

The wind and clouds suddenly announced.

Rapid reports of the arrival of Emperor Alsline, Zacharius van Alsline, at Fort Brain were also delivered under Raidor, in the eastern border town of Cultris.

"... the Empire monarch is so light in footwork. I want my brother to take an apprenticeship."

Raydol first fell like that, following word from General Bazel Garst, who guards Brain Fortress.

Though it seemed like there was plenty of room for the first time, there were wrinkles on Raydol's eyebrows and his face was steep. It is a natural reaction because we encountered an obvious crisis situation in which the head of the enemy came.

The room was lined with Raydol and all his close associates. They all look nervous, drawing on the gravity of the situation.

According to a messenger sent by General Garst, Emperor Zacharius suddenly appeared at Fort Brain about a week ago.

Post-war negotiations have been under way between the two countries since the victory a few months ago.

The Kingdom's demands are mainly for the restitution of the seized territory and for compensation. The demands of the Empire were, of course, the return of Empress Celia and the Holy Sword Clausus, captured by the Kingdom.

As for the kingdom, it is a huge victory against the big countries. We must make great use of this opportunity to bridge the gap in national power with the Alsline Empire.

As an empire, it has the meaning of a great power. Just because the Empress and the National Treasure have swords on them, it is not easy for the Kingdom to take the lead in negotiations.

The post-war negotiations between the two countries did not come to an end months later, and arguments arose day and night at Fort Brain, which served as a forum for discussion.

In the meantime, Emperor Zacharius suddenly appeared at the scene of the negotiations.

The emperor who was supposed to be in the Imperial Capital was surprised not only by the realm's appearance, but also by the imperial side's negotiators, who seemed not to have been informed beforehand.

Zacharius opens his mouth with a majestic chest, floating on the smell of surprise to the representatives of both countries.

Two weeks after this. This battle will end with a duel between Yu and your king's brother Raydol Zain! If Raydol Zain wins, the Empire will accept the Kingdom's demands one last time!

Ignoring all previous dealings, Zacharius declared unilaterally.

Negotiators on the kingdom side could not help but raise their voices to that unusual attitude.

Please wait! We have Princess Celia here! Such selfishness.... "

Ahh!?

Hiiiii!

A diplomat dispatched from the royal palace fell out of his chair in one of Zacharius's intimidations.

If you make a diplomat who doesn't know the battle, Zacharius, who became the supreme king of the great kingdom and the holder of the Holy Sword, is a monster comparable to a dragon. The frightened reaction is helpless, but the emperor's eyes overlooking it are stained with contempt and disgust.

If you want to kill Celia, you can do whatever you want! It doesn't hurt in my eyes, my little girl, but it's still the rules of battle for losers to take their lives and pride! Cut off your neck, rape, whatever you want!

That's not true...

Instead, don't think you can ever reconcile with Yu's daughter again! Be prepared not to let one of the kingdom's subordinates live!

Royal Zecharius looked down at the pathetic diplomat and proclaimed himself grandly.

The smell of fear from the pale face of the diplomat's crotch was too strong, even the smell of sticking his nose.

Saying just what I wanted to say, Zacharius turned back to the Imperial Fortress of Barmes.

Approximately the diplomat who fled back to King's Landing in fear, General Garst flew his fast horse to convey the emperor's visit to King and Raydol.

"So you're telling me to fight the Emperor at Brain Fortress. You're going to do a lot of boldness, the king over there."

When I heard the story of the messenger sent by General Garst, Raydol snapped half astonished and half impressed.

I suppose you have made such a request because you are so confident in your power, but if you lose, the Emperor's life could be lost.

Already, Célia, the holder of the Holy Sword, has been taken prisoner, and besides that, if Zacharius, the holder of the Holy Sword, collapses, it is possible that the Empire's roof will tilt.

"Emperor Zacharius is so strong....."

"That's right... I'm sure it's strong."

It was Warlord Sven who answered Raydol's question.

"Emperor Zacharius is the man who stole the empire from his father, the Emperor, and the owner of the sword Durandal, who controls the flames. Emperor Zacharius became Emperor, and the territory of the original Empire was nearly doubled. Even without being the holder of the Holy Sword, you must be quite good at battle."

As usual, Sven on Angelica's lap answered Raydol's question as he listened to the Emperor and forgave the excited demon of vengeance.

Incidentally, Angelica, the human chair, sometimes has hateful hair like a snake, but when Sven throws the cookie into her mouth, she returns to her soft face.

"Nevertheless, this is a great opportunity. If Lord Raydol triumphs here, he may not only regain his usurped territory, he may also be able to take advantage of it."

"Well... no, I can't avoid either way."

If you're telling the truth, I don't want to bump into the Emperor with Raidor.

In the first place, Raidor's drawing on his head set out to build as good a relationship as possible with the Alsline Empire and confront his brother Granard without worrying about the back.

If something happens to the Emperor and leaves a tragedy behind, it may interfere with the plan.

(No, the other way around? If we defeat the Emperor here, we can make peace without bending our knees to the Empire and with more than parity. If you think about it later, there's no problem.

"... I can't run anyway. If I refuse the duel here, the Emperor will drop Fort Brain and destroy the kingdom."

Had it been Raidor when he was deported to the border, he would not have been so concerned if the kingdom of Zain had been destroyed, but the situation is different now.

Raydol now has his own minister and an army. We have something to protect. When you decide to settle with your brother-in-law from now on, you can't let him lie down.

Raydol nodded forcefully toward his subordinates, who were gathered in the room to await his master's decision.

"Let's take it. To Brain Fortress. I will put an end to years of war against the Empire."

"" "Ha!

The neighbors who were in line with Raydol's decision nodded respectfully.

Cursed sword and flaming sword. The moment the two holy swords collided, the moment approached.
