Around that time.

In the village of Grisea, a new defensive captain, Celet, was crouching down to teach the children how to make coal regiments.

A coal conglomerate is a solid fuel that is doughed with a mixture of powder of charcoal and animal manure dissolved in water.

Very fuel-efficient, with weak firepower but excellent to keep burning all day.

Since almost all the charcoal produced in the village of Gricea is devoted to iron refining and transport to Isteria, the main fuel used for boiling and cooking in the village relied on the charcoal regiments made by the children.

Selette had not been well told not to enter the village, so when she entered the village she used to play with the children.

"Here's how you mix it up and then make it dough"

A girl about five years old mixes the connections of root-chopped bird manure with water in a powder of charcoal and makes dough with this.

"Well, that sounds like mud dumplings."

"Yeah. But it's easier than mud dumplings,"

"It is. I'll try."

Celet puts charcoal powder in the wooden jar, mixes the connections and wriggles them with her hands.

They told me that bird manure was used for the connection, but as a celet I never thought it was particularly dirty, etc.

"Can bird shit be used for this, too," I'm just impressed.

"Master Celet!

As Celet was playing charcoal, the old man from the village rushed in a panic.

I have a radio in my hand and a portable antenna.

"It's tough! They say there's been a rebellion in Gregorn territory, and the rebels are on their way!

"What!?

Celet getting up in surprise.

"Oh, is that true!? Information from where!?

"It's Master Narson! Tell Master Celet to take his place immediately!

That's what I say, an old man gives a radio to Celet.

Celet turns to him with a strange face to a tool she has never seen before.

"What's this?

"It's a tool called a radio. It's connected to Master Narson, so talk to me!

Without even knowing it, they hand me the radio so I can push it from him.

"Celet, can you hear me? It's Narson. Go ahead. '

"Wow!?

Suddenly, to the voice sounded from the radio, Celet was surprised and about to take off the radio.

"Please leave the red button there pressed. This voice will be heard over there."

"What? Huh?

"Quick!"

While the eyes are black-and-white, the cellet presses the transmit button on the radio.

"Ko, is this okay?

"Yes. You sound like Master Narson, so please come over to my face and talk to me. After you talk, say 'go ahead' and then release the button."

"Ha, ha"

Celet faces the radio.

"Uh... it's Celet. Doh, go ahead."

"It's Nalson. Celet, can you hear me? Go ahead. '

"What!? hey, what is this!?

"Dear Celet, press the button again to talk! The button remains pressed!

"Yes!

The selette presses the submit button again.

Unfortunately, other villagers who worked in the fields around them came together.

The children who were playing coal regiments are also turning their anxious eyes to Celet.

"Is that Master Narson? Uh... go ahead."

The selette releases the submit button.

'Um, it's Narson. Celet, calm down and listen to me.'

Narson's voice sounds from the radio.

"In Gregoria, an army rebellion broke out earlier. Within a few days, the rebels are in danger of coming to Isteria. The village of Grisea is on its way, so the village may be attacked by rebels'

To horrible information, Celet opens her eyes in amazement.

'Celet, just load up the materials in the village immediately in the carriage and take all the villagers and evacuate to Isteria. Go ahead.'

"Dear Celet, press the button. After" go ahead, "it's our turn to talk."

Celet nods at the instructions of the old man and presses the transmit button on the radio.

I don't know why, but my head calmed down in an instant when I heard the village was attacked.

"Do you know the number of days before the rebels arrive in the village? Go ahead."

'I don't know for sure, but it'll take a few days. But it's possible he left a few days ago. No matter how late you leave the village by tomorrow. Bring out all the weapons we produce in the village, burn any food we can't carry, and destroy large machines and blast furnaces such as lumber mills completely so we don't know the prototype. Go ahead.'

The villagers scream at Narson's instructions.

"Master Celet! Ask me if I can't have my army spinning from Isteria!

"I can't believe you burn it all..."

Celet nods at the noisy villagers.

"Master Narson, do you not have the means to defend the village? Go ahead."

'Unfortunately, I can't do that. The army is paying for the fort, and you can't crack Isteria's defense force. The village of Grisea abandoned and the Celets placed under the command of the Isteria's defensive forces. Go ahead.'

"Dear Mr. Narson. Does that mean that Master Kazura agrees? Go ahead."

'That's right. I can work on it right away. Go ahead.'

"... Dear Narson. I promised Zirconia that I would protect the home of my loved ones in Zirconia, where Kazura would return."

Celet speaks to the radio with a rugged look.

"Losing your hometown means you must never forgive me. Even if we take back the village later, the fact that we were tainted with our homeland will not disappear. Absolutely, we can't lose this place. Go ahead."

The villagers took their breath, Serret said.

There's no way Celet, a defensive captain at one point, could do that, such as answer to Nalson, the lord.

It's not strange to be immediately deprived of your status and punished.

"Promise Jill? What's this all about? Go ahead. '

"Master Kazura is a place for Mr. Zirconia to return to. Jill said Kazura is more important than Nalson or Leese."

The expression of the villagers surrounding the celet stains with amazement.

"And Master Kazra described the village of Gricea as a place like home. I cannot forgive Jill for making me feel sad again about losing the home of someone she cares about more than anyone else. Absolutely, this village needs to be protected. Go ahead."

……

The selette releases the send button and silence flows.

Even as a celet, I don't think this is a good story to tell Narson.

But it is not the case of four or five.

Celet felt strongly that Zirconia should never be allowed to feel sad again.

"Did Jill say that?"

Narson tells him to snap, and a little silence flows.

'... Celet. What's going on with the village defense system? Go ahead.'

"It's surrounded by a fence all directions, and a large open moat surrounds it. All the surveillance towers are equipped with scorpions, and numerous pre-transfer scorpions and crossbow parts remain in the Isteria. As long as you send me soldiers, I'm in a state where I can fight enough. Go ahead."

"... right"

Narson says, silence flows again.

I'm telling you, I don't know how many rebels are coming.

Narson's squeezing voice echoes from the radio.

"If it is a battle, on the contrary, it could be ravaged and even wiped out. Are you prepared to die protecting the village? Go ahead. '

"Mr. Jill is my family. If you can't keep your promises to your family, it's better to die. Go ahead."

Celet says it out instantly.

Some of the villagers I was listening to were in tears with their hearts struck by her words.

'I know exactly what you're ready for. Send the cavalry of the fort to Isteria to turn to defense and move the Isteria's defense team over there. All the villagers, send them to Isteria immediately, you defensemen work with reinforcements to defend the village of Grisea. Command has the reinforcement captain in command. Defend the village of Grisea. Go ahead.'

"Thank you. Even in exchange for this life, I will try to protect this village. Go ahead. '

'Mm-hmm. And there must be some tools in the village called bikes. Tell the villagers to move them all to Isteria. Get on it and go now. Stay on board and run to my mansion in Isteria. Go ahead.'

Narson said, some of the villagers ran out and went.

Celet didn't know what it was about, but the villagers seemed to understand, so I don't ask any particular questions.

"Yes, I did. We look forward to your reinforcement arrival. Go ahead."

'You will arrive tomorrow. Get ready to accept. End of Communication'

At the end of correspondence with Narson, Celet turned her attention to the villagers surrounding her.

"Gentlemen, as you have heard, this will soon be a battlefield. We'll send out all the carriages, so you're all ready to head to Isteria."

"Dear Celet, let us fight with you"

One of the old men blocks Celet's words.

"I, too, was still conscripted in the last war. Because we are trained to be fast."

"Me too. We still can't beat the young."

Several old men raise their voices.

Celet pointed her troubled face at them.

"No, it doesn't. The village will be protected by our soldiers, so please evacuate to Isteria."

"Hmm. Then can Master Celet imitate the same as this?

One of the old men picked up one of the big stones of the cobwebs that had fallen at his feet and turned back toward the village fields.

"Mmm!"

He swung through his thoughts and threw stones.

The stone flew in a straight line at a fierce speed, hitting a tree about sixty or seventy meters away, making a blunt noise.

"... what?

Celet leaks her flashing voice into a sight too far from common sense.

The stone the old man threw flew in a straight line, even though he didn't think he could reach that distance by throwing it diagonally upwards.

I didn't know what happened, what it meant.

"You're right, I'm still active. The children and their parents will send to Isteria, and we, the old men, will help."

"If it's that far, I can throw it too."

"Mm-hmm. Distance is good, but it's hard to guess. But if it's a throwing spear, so am I."

Oh, no. Old men starting to say it.

"Oh, no! I know you guys are amazing, but we in the village..."

When Celet regained her mind, she panicked and scolded the old men.

Finishing wireless communication, Narson sighed.

By the side, my village daughter, who had a portable antenna, is squeaking and crying.

I can't stop crying to Celet, who told me she would risk her life to protect the village.

Nalson glanced at her like that and walked over to Ichigo, who was communicating with Isteria a a short distance away.

Ichigo looks somewhat bewildered and is on his way to the radio.

Nina, who is headed to Isteria with a portable antenna, and her village daughters beside her, are also puzzled.

"Lord Kazura, can I talk to you... please?

"Ah, Mr. Narson. Your parents told me you haven't seen him for a while."

"Colts?"

"Yes. I'm a kid from the village of Gricea in Isteria, but he doesn't seem to be anywhere. He thinks we're gonna get annoyed, and he hasn't heard from us before. They said," Maybe you haven't come to the fort. "

"... ok. Let us search the fort. More than that, I want to tell you..."

Nalson had a good conversation with Selette earlier.
