Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
Episode 534: On Single Ride
Preparations for the withdrawal of the Royal Sub-Clinar Army were swift. The soldiers instantly prepared their own baggage and, in a controlled move, embarked on a ship moored in the harbor just behind the fort.
Lacker kept an eye on the soldiers. There was no disturbance in that look, and it was as if, watching the training. The commanders watched him like that, just shut up.
"Your Majesty, please proceed to the ship."
Sanena, the commander-in-chief, urges him to board. But Lacker stares at Sanena's face silently.
"... the king?
Sanena, get on the boat first.
"What will they say! If the King does not board, we will not be able to board!
"Sanena, you, after boarding my ship, you're thinking about staying in this hyama, right?
Sanena's face is distorted. Seeing how it goes, Lacker grins with a niggle.
"It's about you. You will apologize to Agarta for this battle, and on top of it, you will be thinking of killing yourself. Ha-ha-ha. I've known you a long time. That much, I can see it in my hands."
That's what Rucker laughs bitterly at.
"This battle has nothing to do with Agarta..."
"Not necessary"
"My king!
"I'm not saying I need to apologize to Agarta. Agarta and he are not aware of our invasion and are easily deprived of this fort. What are you gonna do with that? If the enemy has invaded, it will defeat them with all its might. But Agarta hasn't done it. Agarta's bad for failing to prepare."
In Lacker's words, Sanena gives an indescribable look.
"Get aboard now. If you don't get on board, I'm not moving here."
"Lord Commander-in-Chief, please board first, as the King has told you. The Commander-in-Chief is at the mercy of our national army. We feel the same way about the king. So..."
A young commander is staring at Sanena with his eyes as if they were stunned. As prompted by his eyes like that, Sanena turned her heels in a gracious manner and began to walk towards the dock.
"Everyone must protect the king."
He shrugged without telling anyone. To that voice, the young commanders nod softly.
"Come on, let's pull it off. The attack by the Agarta army may begin now. Everybody, hurry up."
That's what I said, Rucker walked out.
What he headed for was a horse cabin in the fort, not at the dock. There, his beloved horse was connected.
"You kept me waiting, Murak. Now, let's go."
"Your Majesty, please wait!
One of the commanders opened his mouth to a lacquer who laid his hand on his beloved horse.
"Mulak, I will take you to the ship. Your Majesty, please proceed to the ship first."
"Big idiot......"
"Ha..."
Lacker embarrassed the commander with a lonely look on his face.
"Wouldn't it be easier if you rode on my back than to tow Murak with your beard?"
That's what Lacker said. He flickered across his beloved horse's back.
"Get on board as soon as you can, boys."
"King!?"
"See you in Wang Du!
"My king!
When Lacker pulled the reins of his beloved horse, he ran in the opposite direction from the ship. Then the commander and the soldiers of the escort went after him at full speed.
Sanena heard the report just before she boarded the ship.
"What!? Didn't I ask you to ask for the King!
The preaching order in front of me got sloppy listening to his words. Whatever you say to this soldier is not what happens. So rethinking, Sanena quickly switches her head.
"Follow the king!... disappeared as a cloud? Find it! Find it! Look no further than the fort!
That's what I ordered, and Sanena turned her heel back and ran out toward the fort.
"The King's riding Murak is fast legged...... I hope we don't lose sight of it..."
As he murmured and crept through the gates of the fort, rising above the walls at full speed, he was hailed from the western direction. At first glance, there was a strange sight.
There was a huge hole in the Agarta army unfolding on the west side. The cheer is apparently coming from there.
The hole is gradually moving north as it grows larger or smaller. If you look closely, at the center of that hole was the figure of a single horseback rider.
"My king! Your Majesty!
From above the walls, Sanena screamed as best as her voice could. But they haven't received that voice. He immediately gives orders to the soldiers around him.
"If you haven't boarded yet, get out of the fort immediately! We're heading to rescue the king! Hurry!"
"Whoa, in awe..."
"What the fuck!"
"The soldiers' boarding is almost complete. We have already left the port…"
"... just those in the fort now! Everybody out!
Sanena went down the stairs of the walls early, screaming out loud.
Meanwhile, Lacker, surrounded by the Agarta army, was waving his spear as far as his power could. But the soldiers did not come near him like that, but took him and surrounded him with a dozen dozen, while maintaining a certain distance.
"Nooo wow!!"
Lacker threw his spear at the Agarta army with a scream. But even that, the soldiers scolded me. He was, for one reason, breathing heavily moving his shoulders, but eventually, when he got off his beloved horse, he approached the soldiers early.
"I am Subcliner Epas Lacker III, King of the Kingdom of Subcliners. I surrender here and now to the Agarta army. Now seize me, and let me be your last resort."
When he shouted so, he took the sword he was laying on his hips and threw it over the pond and meadow. And as he sat doggedly on the ground, he put his arms together and looked up to heaven.
It was not until some time after that that that Linos was reported to have taken the enemy general prisoner.
"Have you captured the enemy general? Are you sure it's him?
"No one knew his face, and I took the trouble to verify his identity, but this letter came from the subcliner's side, so I'm pretty sure he's probably King Subcliner."
The decree took a single letter from the nostalgia and handed it to Linos. There, in the beaten and written letters, it was captured by the Agarta army that he was king of the Kingdom of Subcliners, and the content of his plea for his life was briefly written.
"Do you want to pay tribute to the compassion of King Agarta? So, what's the general doing now?
"Ha. I said I'm hungry, and now eat your meal."
"What is it?
Linos looked up to heaven with a frightened look on his face. In experience, I never even heard of such things as the King coming into the enemy line alone.
"But you lived a lot, though enemies. It would have been more likely that the soldiers would have taken over..."
"No, in a way, it could be what the enemy thinks it is."
It was Matocal who opened his mouth. Linos turns his gaze to her holding back.
"As you wish? You mean you came all the way here to be captured?
"If you ask, the enemy general is after the life of Master Linos, isn't he? Dear Lord Linos, if we are going after one person, it is more likely to jump into our nostalgia than to lead an army and attack. To that end, did you not deliberately surrender and show them? If you surrender, you will not be able to strike your neck. We must capture them and let the general see them. All the more so if they are kings."
"After all, do I have to catch him?
"Naturally. That's what kings do."
"... I don't like it"
"With Master Linos's connections, we'll be fine."
"Okay. So, uh, shall I call lacquer here? Hey, Mato."
"What's the matter with you?
"Until he gets here, can I have him knee-pillow?
"That's no good."
Matocal shakes his head slowly. There was a faint redness on his face. Seeing that cute look on his face, Linos calmed his mind...
