Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 168 The battle is the loss of those who showed their backs
"I... can't hear you very well. Say it again. Which city did you say fell?
It was Emperor Ramaron who spoke out. I'm desperate and pretending to be calm, but my voice is shaking. Seeing how it goes, the Empress also opens her mouth.
"Yeah, what I did, I missed asking. What city was it in Agarta that fell?
The Empress's face also manages a desperate and spare grin, but she was finally able to make a pulled smile.
The squire takes a deep breath, stares at the note at hand and looks again at the Emperor and the Empress.
"I say. Galby, the castle city of the Empire, has fallen. By the Agarta Army, they fell."
The squire reports in a calm, slow tone. As that report progressed, blood drew from the face of the Emperor and Empress.
"... Galby... falls?... unbelievable..."
The emperor is unacceptable of that reality and has suddenly lost himself.
"... call the General... call General Carries."
The Empress's dossed voice was exhaled. The servant to the voice squeezes out his voice as his body trembles.
"Kako... Married. This... news, even for Master Kanich."
"It's useless!
The voice of the Empress echoes all over the room, similar to the scream.
"Let the Duke of Kenich attack Agarta like this! If we had dropped Galby, Agarta would have attacked with all the troops. That means Agarta is a mushroom now! Let them attack! More than that, it's Galby! Make sure, make sure, you get it back! Call the General, call General Carries ASAP!!
The squire, fearful of the Empress's too many swordscreens, tried to escape the scene and left. The room only heard the Empress's intense breath, and no one uttered a word.
A while later, General Carries showed up.
"I heard you call for a fire, and I came up"
"Go to Galby."
"What? Your Highness, I don't know what your words mean..."
"We're going to Galby!!
The Empress stood up unexpectedly and was screaming. There was no usual plump spare smile, only an old woman with her eyes lifted and a deep twist carved between her eyebrows. The emperor, who was watching such a sight swimming through his eyes, opens his mouth to General Carries as he is stuck in words.
"Gah... Galby fell. There were reports that Agarta had caused her to fall."
General Carries' eyes change. Nowhere was the no-horny atmosphere until earlier, and the face of a man who had survived several trials and training grounds was there.
"Galby... That's between the royal capital and the call. If that falls, the Imperial Capital is in danger. Nevertheless, I didn't know it would fall that fortified city that was proud of its difficult downfall... But when it comes to attacking there, 10,000 soldiers under my flag is not enough. We will have to recall 30,000 of the Imperial Capital's defense forces and troops who have travelled to Agarta."
"Wow, okay. I'll like it..."
"I won't!
It was the Empress who blocked the Emperor's words. She continues her words as she looks sideways at the emperor, who ceases to be her sword curtain.
"Let's admit we're taking the imperial defense forces. You will not return the Agarta Dispatching Army!
"Why is that! That fortified city is robust. The only way to ravage with a great army..."
"Agarta would be a mushroom shell!
He was a General Carrier who was poked at the void for a moment, but instantly he regains himself. And as he slowly exhales to regain his composure, he continues his words as he teaches.
"As I said, Agarta may be a mushroom shell. But, Your Majesty. What we need most now is to recapture Galby, not Agarta. As it is, even if we could drop Agarta, we could lose our mother house called the Imperial Capital. May you draw on that and desist from your expedition to Agarta, this Carrie Seema, lie down and lie down, please."
"I won't. We will not halt our expedition to Agarta."
"Your Highness! Now when Headata reinforcements arrive in Galby, it will be even harder to drop them! Troops now occupying Galby would be three thousand, even if many were quoted. Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they will fall, no matter how robust the city. Whatever, whatever..."
General Carries drapes his neck deeply. No one speaks the language. And in General Carrier's ear, the sound of silk slippage entered his ear.
"How many times do you make me say the same thing? I hate all that futility."
That said the Empress turned her heel back and left the room behind.
"General, that's why. Lead the Royal Metropolitan Defense Forces to reclaim Galby. This is life."
The emperor took a glance at General Carries, who kept his neck hanging, and immediately followed his mother's empress into the room. And that was followed by the ladies leaving the room behind.
In that room, where no one was anymore, General Carries slowly raised his head. And he exhaled deeply as he looked at the ceiling. The general was looking far away. I was just looking far away.
Meanwhile, after several mountain crossings and camps, the Ramaron army, finally arriving at the Agarta border, was breathtaking by the current sights.
There was a great river like no other I had ever seen.
Kanich, commander-in-chief of the Agarta Dispatching Army, had not even tried to hide the wolf, but had abhorred his voice.
"What is this! What happened! I didn't hear the Irvej River was in such a state!
He stares at the river Irvej, which became a great river, eating up his teeth with criticism. No one speaks out. At that time, a casual conversation between the soldiers who had been in the subsequent troops who arrived entered Kanich's ear.
"Wow - I knew it"
"It's been warm here lately. I was wondering if there was more water."
Kanich goes silently and horses to his soldiers. Surprised the Commander-in-Chief approached, soldiers drooling. Towards those two, König quickly pulls out his sword and sticks his cutting edge.
"Whoever slaps him in the mouth for nothing wants to be put to death, but I forgive him for that one now. Answer my question. How did you guys know this river was gonna get more water?
"Dj... we grew up near this river. The Irvej River is affected by snowmelting water every spring, which increases water. It's often because the water flows suddenly become dangerous, and when I was a kid, my aunt in the neighborhood pissed me off. However, this water seems to be very good, and the perfume made with this water is wonderful..."
"Wu!
The soldier, who was desperate to speak, was instantly dead with his throat slammed by the sword of Kanich.
"I allowed you to answer my question, but not to slap me in the mouth for nothing"
Kanich shivers next to the soldier who was killed, fighting, turning his sword toward the other soldier.
"Hey, you. Which squad?
"Fourth Army, from His Excellency Commander Benezene's horseback squad."
"What rank?
I'm the captain.
"Sergeant... that means you're an elite unit, right? Can you cross this river?
"Wow... I don't know"
"It's my order. Cross this river now. It's a simple story. If we can cross to Agarta's side, let's reward him. If you want to die, don't hesitate to refuse.... go."
A sword protruded from Kanich is further rammed down the soldier's throat. Not surprisingly, the soldier left the scene and advanced his horse towards Agarta to the Great River.
Just down to the middle of the river, the horse stopped that walk. For a while the soldiers whipped into the horse, kicked the belly of the horse with a hammer, etc., but eventually the horse was flushed into the water of the river and the soldiers were flushed together. The man never showed up on the water again.
"Commander-in-Chief, let's retreat the soldiers to the Imperial City."
A deputy who has served himself for years comes nearby and speaks up.
"No, I'm marching to Agarta"
"Please wait. If we proceed along this river, I think there will be many soldiers to be defected. It's not a good idea to keep soldiers in the river."
The deputy is complaining in desperate shape. Kanich had been staring at the river for a while, but eventually gives orders to his deputy.
"Gather the commanders. Open a military debate."
Kanich ordered the assembled commanders to think of measures to cross this river by tomorrow morning. However, the opinion of all commanders was to withdraw to Lainey. Könich claimed only an invasion of Agarta, but the commanders began the retreat without listening to Könich's orders.
Sooner or later, it was Kanich who decided to retreat to Rainey, but his heart was filled with fierce hatred.
"And Agarta... commanders... I will crush you. Crush Agarta, and then crush the commanders who ignored my orders... Those who do such a waste... crush..."
Kanich alone, on a horse on the way to retreat, continued to vomit bumps and noisy words.
