Running Away From The Hero!

# 101 Their State: The State of the Kingdom of Mercia

Boom!

“What's going on here? ”

No one could reply to King Griyde's red face.

It was a cannon, a cannon.

Duke Raisha has been defeated in the Empire and taken from many borders. Fortunately, Duke Raisha has been deploying his base, retreating to the castle of Mevelis, and has kept the Imperial forces at bay since, but the problem was the border with the Reich.

“No one noticed until the Imperial Army reached the Reich! ”

The Imperial Army's first prince was negotiating with the Reich and marching with them across the border into ruins.

The fortresses that are already on the border with the Reich have all been captured, and if time goes on, it won't be long before the Allied forces of the Reich advance to the capital city of the Kingdom of Mercia.

“How many troops are there? ”

Looking at the noisy nobles, King Griyde sighed and told the commander of the Royal Guard.

“30,000.”

At the words of the Kingsguard, who bowed his head, King Griyde could feel his eyes darkened.

“Only 30,000…. ”

Soldiers were drawn from the capital of the kingdom, Merdea, and large territories nearby.

As usual, you could recruit up to 100,000 people, but you have been struggling since you have already recruited to support the Duke of Risa.

“They haven't been trained properly. ”

“Ugh……. ”

There are a few, but the rest are untrained.

They say they are training the Buryans, but there is no reason for the Imperial Army to wait. No, it was a good thing we didn't increase our speed to get there before the training was over.

“Do the great gods abandon the kingdom of Mercia...?" ”

King Gryd says no nobles can open their mouths.

“What should I do? ”

For the past few days, he has been King Griyde for 10 years. I asked meaningless questions, looking at the nobles with a face full of worries.

“We must gather our troops and defend the capital. ”

“No, Your Majesty. Fighting in the capital is not good in many ways. Instead, we should form a defensive force to block the way to the castle and fight our way out. ”

“No, Your Majesty. If your enemies are advancing straight to the castle, you may want to block the enemy supply lines and the organization of the Star Battalion in the remaining territory. ”

“Your Majesty! Or this way……. ”

Nobles started telling all kinds of stories, but they weren't very nutritious.

It was a meeting of all the major nobles anyway. The majority of the nobles had to go back to their territory and gather troops or stop the imperial forces from entering their territory.

“I keep saying the same thing. ”

King Griyde raises his hand and squeezes it around his eyes as his eyes begin to become heavier due to excessive accumulation of blood.

“Is there really no way? ”

By the time King Griyde was halfway through,

“Still, Your Majesty. ”

“Lord Baez! ”

A loud voice.

The protagonist of the voice was the prince of this country, Baez, who was actually the former prince of this country.

“Sa, you're alive! ”

All sorts of emotions began to cross King Griyde's eyes.

How surprised you were when you first heard that Duke Laisha's army had been wiped out and Baez had gone missing as a subordinate officer!

It was a state of war, and he showed a cold appearance so that he would not be shaken as the king of a country, but the flesh was flesh.

King Griyde couldn't sleep well even after hearing that Baez was missing.

Maybe he made the wrong decision.

Maybe that's why he brought his precious son to his death.

I couldn't sleep because of that worry.

Bares, who grumbled against him in his dreams, appeared when he could barely sleep and woke up.

Do they blame themselves for dying?

Is he really dead?

Baez appeared before King Griyde when he was troubled!

“Sa, you're alive. ”

I wanted to run out and cuddle right now, but I had to pay attention to the nobles' gaze. That's why he was acting coldly, but his red eyes and trembling voice could see how pleased he was.

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

In the presence of King Griyde, Baez bows his head and thinks.

‘Yes, but he's still a father. ’

Even when I first took the position of the prince and sent him to Duke Laisha, it was Baez who unleashed a great deal of grudge and anger upon King Griyde.

But over time, that grudge and anger became a way of looking back at themselves.

I saw Duke Bertin Raisha in the midst of the enemy with less than 30,000 troops and realized what an exceptional general he was. The moment I acknowledged it, I could also see how much my father had made a decision.

By throwing yourself away, the nobles become united and the rules within the army are firmly established.

Behold, even the next king crashed like that in violation of the law.

It's military law to protect even the royal family. You can't break this!

“I have a way, Your Majesty. ”

Baez grew up.

Although there were those who fell to the ground and broke their wings so that they could never fly again, or were accustomed to the ground and were corrupt, Baash looked up at the sky from the ground and prepared to fly again.

If he continues to defend the Kingdom of Mercia and inherit the throne, the Kingdom of Mercia will receive a holy army called Baez and enjoy the Peace Corps.

“Is there a way? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. First, we need to get General Raisha into the capital. ”

It is true that the castle of Mebellis is the best fortress, but it was a castle on the border.

The terrain of the Celestial Hye Fortress meant that it was difficult for allies to get out while also receiving support. It meant the best castle to stop the enemy, but it was a good castle to be isolated if the enemy didn't attack.

“Abandon the castle of Maybellis? Then what if the enemy joins us? ”

“General Wagrain remains by General Raisha's side. If you give him 20,000 troops, he may be able to withstand the Empire army. ”

“Ugh……. ”

General Vargrine was the one who caused Baez to be stripped of the Crown Prince's position.

It was a very big decision to believe that his skills were famous, but he believed in someone who had a bad relationship with him.

‘You've grown.'

I choose my country over my personal vendetta. It meant that the position of the prince had been taken away, but that he had succeeded in creating a bigger vessel than the time of the prince.

"With the support of Commander Raisha and at least 30,000 troops, we can hold out long enough. ”

The castle of Mercia was the best fortress not to fall behind the castle of Mevelis. As long as the soldiers are full, we can hold them off.

Enemies inside the kingdom could be disadvantaged if they could hold out.

This is the Kingdom of Mercia. All the people of the kingdom will reject the Imperial Army.

Over time, the Reich will help the surrounding empire, hostile and friendly, just as the Reich helped the empire.

If we could get rid of both the Empire Army and the Reiko Empire, we could take over the Reich and even the newly recruited soldiers would be skilled soldiers.

Hang in there. Hang in there.

The enemy of the Empire is not just the Kingdom of Mercia. The Fernez Empire, the biggest enemy, is still intact!

Time is on our side. Just hang in there and you'll get your chance back!

“A winner in battle is not a winner in war. We lost, but the war is not over yet. ”

King Gryd nods as Baez looks at him with an upright gaze.

“Who has a better opinion? ”

No nobleman answered his voice.

“Then I shall summon General Laisha here, as Baez has said. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Hearing the nobles' answers, King Gryd looked at Baez for a moment.

And then...

“And when this war is over, I will step down from the throne. The next king will be Baez Ralph Merdea! ”

“Your Majesty!"

You hear screams everywhere, but King Gryde does not back down.

“Your Majesty.”

“Well done. And work harder. ”

Baaeth's eyes were filled with trust, and all sorts of emotions began to cross in the image of King Griyde looking at him.

I don't know what to say.

“I have my orders, Your Majesty. ”

Baaeth, who was concerned about everything, said he would bow his head and take orders politely.

‘Here we go. ’

I gave up what I thought was big, and I got something bigger.

It was a very short time, but Baash was able to realize many things.

Now, if you and General Raisha can stop the invasion of the Empire! ’

Be a great king. Build the heyday of the Kingdom of Mercia!

“Well, what did you say? ”

However, the commitment was foamed by the message of the messenger who arrived soon.

“La, Commander Raisha says he's not sending troops! ”

“What, what? ”

I don't know what the hell this is.

Despite the fact that he holds the position of a general, violating the king's command is the same as the reverse.

“In addition... ”

“What else do you mean! ”

The prince, or the next king, trembles with the call of Baez.

Saying this is bad news. But it is something that must be said.

In front of the explosive magic camp, the messenger closes his eyes tightly and takes what he heard out of his mouth.

“Commander Raisha has taken all the soldiers near Mévelis Castle… using the position of a general and brought them all together to Mévelis Castle. ”

“What, what? ”

The border around Mebellis was a bad place for people to live. Land was not suitable for farming because it was infertile. Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres that appear from time to time are very difficult to get out of the walls.

Will it be rumored that a wagon driving a wagon across the border is at least as good as a knight? Such dangerous and unpleasant places were the cities on the border, including Mebellis.

And to adapt to that environment, the people there were more likely to raise spears, shields, and bows than farming tools.

Food is the border guard, so I sent support from the center, and I was less complained about how I could make a lot of money if I defeated monsters and myself for training occasionally. That's why in a crisis like this, the borders were the most reliable place to create troops!

“Oh, how many did you take? ”

Soldiers recruited from the capital or grain panels will not help. True power was those who lived in the borders or those who lived in the borders.

Fewer numbers, but the most powerful!

Baaeth grips his teeth and yells at the messenger, who appears to have taken all of his power.

“What the hell does that mean? General Raisha is rallying soldiers across the border in violation of the king's order? ”

“Well, yes. ”

Why the hell not?

Prince Baez, who had been holding back what he wanted to shout so badly, realized that he was excited and began to calm down.

‘Maybe it's because General Raisha has an idea. ’

Let's think about what he's thinking.

When he calmed his mind down like that, he closed his eyes and began to think things like he had become Duke of Lycia.

Are you trying to gather the troops from the castle of Mebellis? No. It's not a good place to deploy a lot of troops. A fortress that prevents many enemies with few troops.The castle is small to gather many soldiers. It's better to gather from nearby castles. ’

Then why the hell not? Was there anything you didn't see?

As he truly believed in General Laisha, Baez had a lot of thoughts, but could not find out what was in his heart.

“Damn……. ”

I just had to believe it.

He is a general and hero of the Kingdom of Mercia! It was General Raisha!

# 102 Their Reason: What a General's Reason is

“Good.”

The Duke of Laisha, a general and hero of the Kingdom of Mercia, smiled at the crowded soldiers in the castle.

“This should protect me. ”

He was the Duke of Raisha that everyone in the kingdom believed in, but he had no intention of saving his country.

“I have to be okay first. Are you fucking kidding me?”

Because I thought someone else would!
