The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Tribal Grune - descendant of the former Ladle dynasty. That was the title given to Theo Grune after he received his life.

Theo had a mother who performed the sacrifice of Ladle, a father of the general of the Ladle army, and a sister, Lucia.

Mother - Yuri is a gentle, gentle, beautiful person for everyone. Since I was little, Theo and Lucia naturally also adored the childhood friendly Calogero.

Father - Tessin was a tough guy anyway. From an early age, he is thoroughly trained in the skills necessary for tribal leaders, including etiquette, martial arts, tactics, and equestrian arts.

In retrospect, it was a constant day of wounds and injuries, but I think this was the culmination of Theo's happiness.

Discord with the Empire. The fact that the discord has often been heard for more than thirty years.

What made that flame of contention a reality was the death of the youth of the Laddle people. More precisely, the armed clashes in several villages that originated that death.

The conflict resulted in the death of the empire's nobles and the destruction of three villages in Raddle. Difficulties and skirmishes persist as both are unable to pull off.

That equilibrium collapsed because of the sudden disappearance of a village.

The name of the village without it now is - Elm. Elm was considered the home of the first King Raddle and was used as a ritual site.

Elm is only a ritual place. Therefore, it was not a great sacrifice on a normal day. But the day was coincidentally visited for rituals by witches from every tribe.

The massacre of elms - they don't rob hardware, they don't offend women. Just killed it, just broke it. Apparently the village was such a wretch. The only thing in the heart of the land was an imperial flag pierced.

Naturally, Ladle's public opinion goes to war with the Empire. The same was true of Theo, who lost his mother in that massacre. At this time, it seems that he was imprisoned by an improbable hatred of the Imperial people.

Most importantly, General Tessin refused to fight the Empire and forbade all strife.

Though this father's decision was thorough, he also said he was dissatisfied.

And then, when I'm thirteen, that incident happens. Theo himself pulled the trigger of Ladle's ruin.

Theo and the others at this time organized a militia called the Mountain Kings along with Calogero and the others to look around.

That's when Theo stumbles upon an imperial citizen traveling through the mountains. I try to inform my countrymen instantly, but one man caught me.

The man named himself the same Laddle people and said, 'This caravan is temporary for epidemic diseases. You must never speak to anyone because you will only pass,' he said, freeing Theo.

At the time Theo was only a fool with high ideals, even though he didn't even know the world's logic.

The opponent is a traitor on the imperial side, even though he is a compatriot. Without even considering the veracity of his fellow young man's words, he reports them to the army without any grip.

As a result, some troops disregard the life of their father and attack said caravan. Killing dozens of innocent citizens and the mercenaries who were escorting them will prevail over Ladle.

As the ladle floated to victory, Theo was good at reporting back to his father.

My father beat Theo, saying, 'The great fool has done what you should never do as a warrior!'. Over and over again, my father hit me.

The father who beats Theo with that cry - seeing what Tessin looked like, Theo finally understood the weight of the sins he had committed.

This caravan raid made the discord between the empire and the ladle decisive. The nobles of the Empire, who had been nonwarriors, expressed their will one after the other.

As a matter of course, they are headed for an armed clash, and Theo and Ladle will be defeated and subordinated to the Empire.

The Empire has taken a variety of measures to ensure that Ladle never becomes defiant again.

One is to move to other territories and serve as serfs and miners in order to break up tribes known to militants. The horror of the ladle is solidarity. I guess that's why they targeted me there first.

The second is the exile of the Raddles from the capital of Raddle - Camelot. It takes the capital of Raddle and uproots and sharpens the last resistance and rebel elements. I guess that was the purpose.

Father Tessin forbade all resistance, but the tribe, which could no longer be seen as humiliating, rebelled and suppressed. Thereafter, of course, those involved were executed even women and children, and their fears were beaten to the bone marrow.

Besides, the confiscation of what serves as a weapon and the construction of a snitch system made Ladle, both famous and imperial.

In what can be described as the worst, a turning point comes. That's a massive outbreak of undead that emerged from the Rudoah Great Forest in the north. The undead swallows Camelot instantly and David's territory virtually vanishes overnight.

Various speculations flowed among the Raddles about the annihilation of Viscount David, who had suffered so much from Raddle overnight, but were all other forces like divine punishment. The interest gradually shifted to the topic of the new Lords.

Perhaps the Raddles' willingness to resist had already vanished at this time.

The tragedy continues. Because of the chaos within the Empire caused by the undead. The new lord never did it.

Alternatively, the worst has come. It is an invasion of the kingdom of Amulzess.

Originally, the Archive Empire and the Kingdom of Amulzess used the top of the Ladoah Mountains as their borders. More precisely, the forested area on the eastern side of the Ladore Mountains was also Ladr territory, but it was taken by the kingdom in the wake of the war with the Empire.

With Father Tessin as general general against the kingdom, he resists the decision to die, but the empire is deprived of weapons and, above all, Ladle, who has lost his will to fight, will indeed be lightly defeated and placed under the kingdom's control.

The kingdom has asked for the execution of Tessin, the supreme force of war, hostages from each tribe, and the submission of 60% of the food it is saving.

If you lose 60% of your food, there will be a large number of starving deaths. Yet, beginning with the chiefs of each tribe, the general public in Ladle still honestly offered hostages and food.

Theo was feeling in his skin that Ladle had become a literal slave at this time.

And this deep dark cloud on the ladle is blown away by one monster.

The monster eliminated Camelot's kingdom soldiers with strength, and summoned Theo and the tribal chiefs.

On the spot, the monster names himself Gray and declares his battle against the kingdom by threatening means.

The troops stationed in Camelot were wiped out. In the near future, the kingdom will lead and attack the great army. Theo and the others have no choice but to deal with the new Lord Grey than to declare that he will not join the direct battle. Besides, there's no better way to survive in the ladle than with food on the bottom, as Gray says, if you don't get excited.

That's why Theo decided he was betting for a generation.

Of course, Gray is an imperial. He is only the new lord to succeed Viscount David, the lord of the Empire, who was bursting with tragedy in that compatriot. No matter how much Theo explains, they don't trust me.

Above all, the Raddles today have already had their slave guts stuck to the bone marrow, and they should not respond to recruiting soldiers in the name of the war against the kingdom.

Explaining that, the Lord only answers with one word, with a vicious grin that the devil also flees with a dagger.

Then, that crazy two-day training was begun, gathering representatives of a confident young people in the arms of each tribe.

After that training, the tribal youths, without exception, become genuinely convinced and heartbroken of the Lord's Palace as the rebirth of King Mountain Xian.

That's the same with Theo, if that lord's palace decided on a plan, it can't end up anything but a must-win. I was starting to think so.

It would be because the path of victory has stood and things can be considered calmly. The reason for the Lord's assertion that there was food in the fort of Arkhroy was also dubious but illusory.

I do think that at this time, Theo and the others took off the invisible chain of slavery and took a step as the original mountain people ladle.

Training begins.

It is not just the representatives of the youth. The people of Ladle, newly joined in training, will also be shown its insane extreme miracle time and time again, bringing back light to their eyes.

By the time the day of the war draws near, almost all soldiers will call the Lord's Palace King Mountain Wise and pledge their absolute loyalty.

This was not intentionally spread in search of strength to the Lord's Palace, but naturally spoken and a widespread awareness among the soldiers.

As much as I had to think about it, a man named Lord Hall was way off track to call himself just a human being.

One, make and give a large quantity of weapons comparable to materials.

Two, a material called the Book of Magic makes many Ladlers who are supposed to be bad at magic master magical talent.

Three, in just two weeks, they will build a fortress on top of the Ladore Mountains that is difficult to attack.

All of them, if it was Theo a while ago, were just matters that I had a smile on. Besides, that young look dilutes the humane taste all the time.

Thus, in the name of the Lordship, also equipped with the solidarity most necessary for the war against the Kingdom, the war against the kingdom of Amulzez is finally launched.

Everyone thought the start would be a struggle. All this betrayal of that anticipation, the Ladr army will devastate the Royal Army, roughly ten times as many, and reclaim the entire original Lador realm.

There is no longer a single man in the Raddle army who regards the Lordship as just an imperial.

One must note that this does not mean that the Raddles' hatred of the imperials has disappeared. Inside the army, the lord's palace descended to earth to save Raddle, not the Imperial. It's just a replacement for that perception.

And that, in fact, may have been the same in Theo.

The Lord is the Savior (Messiah) who will put an end to Ladle's nightmare, which has lasted for decades. That is what I believed in.

If Theo and the others are hungry, feed them, and build them without fortresses. If they take the territory, they take it back in their business. Absolute being unbeatable to any evil, object of faith. Sure, if you just look at the results, that would be right in a way.

But is fulfilling that treatment what the Lordship wants?

First, why did the lords let Theo and the others take their weapons themselves in the first place? Seeing one end of the Lord's power, the magic of the Royal Army and others could have destroyed him in an instant. You don't have to bother letting Theo and the others take your weapons.

Perhaps that man himself had found significance in winning his own freedom.

Why is that? Easy. To get the Raddles to wipe out the slave guts that spread.

Then why, before the war with the kingdom, did the lord say, 'I have ordered the sin of that slaughter. I will bear all this!' Did you declare that? If it is to get rid of the slave guts, the fact of victory is of paramount importance, at the hands of the Raddles themselves, and no such extra consideration is necessary.

(I feel like I want to connect something)

When you were beaten in the past, what was your father trying to tell Theo?

(At that time, sure...)

The fool did what you should never have done as a warrior!

Someone must bear the responsibility for the lives of the innocent villagers of this dead empire. Do you see the weight of that sin? No, it's a great sin to die for. You pushed cowardice to blame on others. You know how unforgivable betrayal is!

Well, that's why the lord said then that he was responsible for all the crimes of killing.

My eyes went only to the strange power of the Lord's Palace, and I was completely blind. The Lord's Palace was so furious with Zap, maybe for the same reason his father beat Theo.

In this battle, the Raddle army killed thousands of kingdom soldiers. The enemy also has family, lovers, friends. The scale of that chain of tragedies is easy to imagine. And someone has to take responsibility for it.

He knew enough about the burden, and chose to take responsibility for the tragedy, including his family, in one small capacity. How heavy it is to speak of its erosion of heart.

Nevertheless, the Lordship accepted the responsibility. Perhaps that wasn't because of the cheap sense of justice and hypocrisy that Theo had in his past, but because the lord's palace was familiar from his soul with something called war between humans and knew someone had to take responsibility for it.

King Yama-san? God's use? Makes me laugh! After all, I was just running away again!

As Superman, the Savior solves everything conveniently. That is synonymous with them taking on all the merit resulting from the act.

By contrast, monarchs are distinctly different. The minister shares some of his sins with the monarch, and enjoys his merits with the monarch. I see, it's not of a compatible nature.

Which one do you want? It is decided. I can't push all the blame on that one any further.

"Theo Grune's title," The One Saved by ", will be transformed into" The Loyalty of ". At the same time, [Remember - Fighting General] has completely liberated us. As a result, [rigidity] will evolve to [gold rigidity] '

When a woman's voice echoes in her head, explosive forces and heat overflow (overflow) from her body's core (shin).

With its difficult power, it grabs (or throws) the right ankle of the horsehead (Mezu) that is still holding Theo down.

The horsehead (Mezu) is blown in a straight line at a tremendous speed, but cleverly it spins in the air and lands on the ground.

"Apparently, the road has been set."

Stay in sight of the rising calogero, and the horsehead raises the end of his mouth and squeals.

"Thanks to you."

"Good, then it's time to start."

Even the horse's face laughed delightfully (yummy), and the horse's head changed that aspect.

Apparently, I can predict what this horsehead is like in Theo.

"Oh, my Lord, for Gray's sake, horsehead, you will perish."

"Get it done!!"

The horsehead (Mezu), who wields the hammer several times, growls toward heaven.

Theo's last battle thus began slowly.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

The target is crushed, and the hammer is shaken down toward Theo's brain by a squash (crush) and a force raised to its limit.

Rupturing the atmosphere, he punches and bounces the impending hammer with his left fist, releasing his right fist to the flank of the horsehead.

Hit the head with a caged left spinning kick with plenty of centrifugal force around the right leg on the axis at the same time as the unpleasant feeling of breaking a bunch of vacillated ribs is transmitted to the fist.

"Whoa, whoa!!"

Hundreds of golden lights descend intermittently on the spinning floor bouncing but blowing horseheads.

The smell of meat burning stimulates the sense of smell.

Without letting his hair in, Theo kicked the ground and jumped near the ceiling while shaking his right leg up, swinging down the head of the horsehead (Mezu) with full force.

The horsehead (Mezu) tries to take it with his arms up, but his arms bounce, and half of his head fell down, along with all the noises that can also be heard as godjaws.

The horsehead falls on his back with the earthquake.

"Uhm, you can't lose until you're completely skin free."

His face seemed strangely clear as he vomited blood but spoke of his defeat.

"What the hell are you..."

"Have you decided to walk the way of Shura with the Lord? Then we'll get to the end."

"Even in lieu of this life."

When Theo punches his right fist in his chest, a lot of Calogero will do the same.

"This is a reward for winning over Non. Hey, Tessin, finish your last greeting."

"Oh, I'm sorry about the end. Horsehead (Mezu)"

"Fine. It's a fun fight."

Like a solo play, a twirling, changing tone. And my face and body go back to my nostalgic father's.

"Calogero, Theo, please."

"General..."

Finally, whining loudly from Calogero, he pointed his nostalgia face at Theo...

"Theo, you're all right now"

Warm but powerful words. Grief, uncut, and all sorts of other emotions intersect, raging around Theo's entire body.

"Theo, my beloved and proud son. Proceed with confidence."

"Copy that. Father."

With a satisfying grin, my father's whole body disappears into dust (dust).

Sweep away the vision distorted by tears with the right sleeve and devour your teeth. I'll cry later. Master Gray's rescue is now a top priority.

"Let's go."

Theo walks away,

"I know."

When Calogero snorted, he wiped his tears and followed.
