Running Away From The Hero!

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

The wars between the Karean Empire and the Kingdom of Mercia have begun to tilt rapidly.

After the border was taken, the castles were so helplessly taken.

Due to the rebellion of the Duke of Laisha, the general, the human resources were depleted and urgently gathered people from all over the continent, but he could not defeat the elite militia, the continental elite.

Thanks to you, most of the castles and villages were occupied by the Empire, except for the capital, Mercia.

The Empire Army's attack did not end there.

Oh, no, this?

The princes and nobles of Merdea looked at him wearing heavy shackles on his feet and fancy magic bracelets on his hands.

“What is this……. ”

“What the hell does the Empire want with us? ”

The Empire released captives and sent one of its video magic tools to the Kingdom of Mercia.

“What's wrong with that traitor? ”

The man in the video was the former Duke of Raisha, known as the current Religious, whom the Court of Mercia gritted and cursed.

Hey, don't do this! Why are you doing this to me?

Relligius in the video continues to tell you not to do so with a red face.

“What the hell is wrong with you! You evil empire bastards! ”

Everyone would expect torture if they could just hear the sound coming from the video magic tool.

Religious made a nondisclosure pact with the Empire naming it the Reisha Kingdom, but now he is broke.

It was not unusual to torture the Duke of Laisha, who was once their enemy.

But...

“You bastards! ”

“Ahhhh!”

Looking at the Duke of Raisha, many nobles cursed the empire. Some of them even shed tears.

Relligius cries out as he considers their hearts.

Let me touch it! I'll tell you everything you know. Let me touch it! Or just keep them out of sight!

Relligius shouts in a voice filled with tears.

In front of him, many beautiful women were wandering in rebellious form.

“Ah, Areta……. ”

Boom!

The nobleman slapped his desk and looked at one of the women on the screen with trembling eyes.

Yes, it is.

Those on the screen are all noble ceremonies.

So suddenly the castles were taken down that the noble families couldn't escape were treating him with a disgraceful face around Duke Lysha!

Here, I have prepared the finest steak. Eat.

Then a new person entered the room.

He dressed up as a soldier in the Kingdom of Mercia and brought very fancy food to Religious.

"Cow, let go of my hand! You have to let go before you can eat!

There was no restraining his hands, but Duke Laisha was unable to use them at all.

It's because of the magic imprinted on the bracelet on your arm.

But we are prisoners of the Kingdom of Mercia, and we cannot. Instead…….

A man in a soldier's uniform turns his gaze away, and the noble ceremony closest to him shakes.

…….

Ah, ah, do it!

She looks ashamed, biting her lip, but a man mutters something in her ear, smiling, dipping a steak in a fork and putting it in Relligius' mouth.

Ooh! Closer! Come closer!

Hahaha!

Relligius is excited to see a woman about to shed tears right now, as if she had forgotten her situation.

“Elisha……. ”

Seeing that, a nobleman was shed tears.

“Your Grace, I will not ask you to surrender your army. I have enough private soldiers on my territory, so please allow me to fight the evil empire. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Your Majesty, please! ”

As soon as the video finished, the nobles started pressuring Baez.

You evil empire bastards! ’

Baaeth was unable to do this or that in the appearance of such nobles.

King Gryde has fallen even more seriously since he destroyed the Duke of Lysha and imprisoned those involved in the Lysha family.

According to the fisherman, stress caused mental instability and seemed to adversely affect the condition.

As the next king, Baez said he wouldn't last much longer if he continued his government operations, but things got worse.

Rarely defending against the aggression of the Reich and the Imperial Alliance, the rebels were defeated and the Imperial forces began to flock in.

Those who defeated Religious, a traitor to such a powerful military force, fell in vain, and a few castles fell overnight.

Despite the evacuation of the people, the nobles who were guarding the territory were taken captive, and their families were captured and experiencing the same nonsense as in the previous video.

What was even more sinister was the fact that all of this was staged to look like the work of the Kingdom of Mercia.

‘What would you think if you saw this video in another kingdom? ’

Baez could feel his eyes darkened.

It may seem that you are using the nobles' ceremony to gain information to seduce the Duke of Lycia.

Unlike those who know every situation, those who know nothing at all.

“Your Majesty!"

Those who know everything.

His family was captured and tortured by the Empire (?), the nobles of the Kingdom of Mercia were indignant.

The betrayer who drives the kingdom to ruin is furious, but he who treats the betrayer is his own family!

Even those families had the face of wanting to die.

He probably took other hostages and threatened them.

In the heads of the nobles, all kinds of scenarios were created and began to disappear, and he firmly began to believe that his family was being humiliated in all kinds of ways.

“Your Majesty, please allow me! ”

“Please allow me! ”

Seeing the nobles who seem to be running away right now, Baaeth felt something bitter.

“We must defend this place for now. ”

Although the enemies of the First Empress were powerful, the Empire's First Emperor alliance with the Reich was not great.

There is no way we can go to war except for the nobles' soldiers in this situation.

But...

“I'll go. You just have to let me go, Your Grace. ”

It was very difficult to stop the angry nobles.

“Everyone calm down. The opponent is an Imperial Army. They anticipate and move on until the end of the war. ”

Entertaining Religious with the uniform of a soldier in the Kingdom of Mercia will be in case there are any problems after the war.

Did the moving Empire army not expect the nobles of the Kingdom of Mercia to rush in full fury, thinking about the end of the war?

Not at all likely

Knowing that, Baaeth had no choice but to stop the nobles.

“But, Your Grace, I cannot let my family continue to suffer more than death. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Nobles sometimes have to go even though they know death. ”

“Please let us go. ”

Seeing those who pleaded earnestly, Baaeth had no choice but to make a decision.

‘If you send it like this, it affects the wire. But if you don't send it, it could collapse inside. ’

It was Baez who was responsible for the fierceness of the empire attacking human psychology, but eventually decided to raise their hands.

“We can't send them all. I'm going to give Earl Harsen 30,000 troops... to defeat the enemies of the realm. ”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

To the most powerful of those who had been taken from their families, Bares gave them the power to mobilize 30,000 troops.

“However, we must not draw troops from the kingdom. ”

“I know. ”

Thirty thousand men will all be filled with noble soldiers.

‘Not only the Duke of Hastings, but the nobles who have stolen his family will lend him their troops. There will be many knights on the battlefield, so it will not be easy to lose. ’

For Baez, it was the best choice we could make at the moment.

Borrowing a nobleman's soldiers is the act of indebting the nobles as a kingdom, but since the nobles are volunteering, they are no longer indebted.

No, you let the nobles owe the royal debt because you allowed them to move freely in a dizzy state.

Compared to the weakest soldiers at the moment, the noble soldiers made me earn up to one hour on the front line because of the elite soldiers.

‘Compared to the Empire army, it's a small number, but it's 30,000 soldiers with one as well as the Swordmaster, which should buy us some time. ’

Baez has tried and tried to defend the kingdom of Mercia.

But...

“Your Majesty, the forces of Earl Hastings have fallen! ”

“Your Majesty! Hostiles are advancing towards the capital! ”

“Your Majesty!"

“My lord!”

“Damn it!”

There was a difficulty in restoring the tilted balance as it had already been tilted.

“... send a lion. ”

And he had to make his last choice.

“I surrender.”

It was admitting defeat.

It was to stop my pride as a royal family and not create any more victims.

“Your Majesty……. ”

Seeing Baez grinning bitterly, his men couldn't hide their sad faces.

He failed to do his best to overcome the crisis in a situation where he had not yet become the official king.

Nevertheless, he is willing to accept the consequences, take full responsibility, and sacrifice himself.

“I'll do as I'm told, Your Grace. ”

If it's for this man, we can die together.

So, since he wanted to live, I will live with any humiliation!

Baez's men have become more and more proud of their service to him.

That's why I was able to endure it even when I was ready to surrender.

But...

“Surrender? Whose will? ”

“Eh……. ”

“It was you who started the war, but it was us who ended it. Surrender? No. Just go.”

The enemy refused to surrender so decisively that it made such a colourless decision.

# 111 Their Reason: Leah Reel Arrays' Reason

“… Is this okay? ”

No matter how hostile he was, he was a lion who came to surrender.

Sending those people back like that...

“Lord Ast himself has spoken. Winning without fighting is the best victory. ”

That's why he did all these weird things, like make Duke Raisha a general.

Of course, there was a huge mistake in the middle!

“Sir Leah, you should see the big picture! Big picture!”

“I can only see one dot because it's too big for me. ”

Sir Astor's paintings are enormous.

It's so huge that you can't see the rest of it from a distance.

The worst thing about it is that it has a more demon-like taste in evil gods than in humans, so you wouldn't understand a big picture of Sir Astor by human aesthetics.

Yes, it is.

Sir Astor's big painting is that you can't really see it, and even if you can see it, as a normal human being, I can't understand it.

“Can you interpret that big picture for me? ”

“Oh, of course. ”

Lord Ast took out a map of Lord Mercia's liver, which was supplied to the commander.

“The last bastion, the enemy capital, of Mercia, is a fortress. It's an artificial fortress, not a fortress of divinity, like the castle of Mebellis. ”

I have no choice.

Natural terrain was originally designed to prevent enemies from entering Heaven's Fortress.

On the other hand, it's a very difficult terrain to walk around in.

In a very small country, like the Kingdom of Mercia, transport should be convenient for the Kingdom of Mercia, where tens of thousands of people are moving every day.

“It won't be easy to take down this castle. ”

The Kingdom of Mercia is collapsed due to continued defeat and expanded front lines, with the exception of troops guarding the castle.

It is because there are royal guards trained by the elite among the soldiers, Royal Knights and Royal Wizards to protect the royal family.

“So we have to accept surrender even more? ”

The more you listen to the story, the more you think about why you should surrender to the enemy.

“But if you surrender now, your enemies will have better terms. I want more. ”

“Even if our soldiers have to sacrifice for it? ”

Sir Ast frowned.

If there's no choice, we've surrendered to the hostiles and are doing things that could cause military damage.

This is disqualified behavior as a commander.

“No, I won't fight. ”

But in that gaze, Sir Ast made a look at me like, "What are you saying?"

“Oh, you're not fighting? ”

“Yes. Why fight so hard?" It's hard to keep fighting these days. ”

“ ……. ”

I had to open my mouth when Sir Ast told me I was going to die of hardship.

Honestly, I did everything I could to fight! I wanted to shout. "

Not long ago, I fought hard against powerful enemies, but after I finished, I heard Sir Ast saw me fighting in an area unrelated to fighting.

You said it was for the command, but "The rear can be ambushed, so let's go to the center where we can deal with it at any time! I was doubtful because I received a report saying,"

“Without a fight, will you allow your enemies to surrender on bad terms? ”

The king who had been silently listening until now broke his silence and looked at Sir Ast.

“How?”

Seeing his eyes gleaming, he was like a child learning to do evil.

I was a little happy to see you behaving like your peers, but I was desperate to expect Lord Astor to behave.

“Yes, Your Majesty. For now... ”

And words from Sir Ast's mouth.

Is that what the world is saying?

Seriously, what my head understands is the language spoken by the Empire?

I feel like I'm hearing the gospel of an evil god that I should never understand.

“Pu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! ”

His Majesty began to laugh with tears.

“It's not over yet, Your Grace. After that……. ”

“What? Really? ”

The empress, who was so bad at expressing her emotions that she heard that she had lost her emotion, grabbed her stomach and began to laugh.

A smile that will announce the imperial emergency in the future.

The beginning of it was a smile that foretold the fall of the Kingdom of Mercia.
