The girl with the fire wheel.

Lesson 24: Beyond That Mountain

Upon entering the city of the fallen Rhine, Noel was led to the Lords' Hall. The city is completely dominated by the hands of Barbus, who was leading a separate task force.

"Hey, didn't you burn down the hall?

"Uh, I was going to, but these guys didn't try to get out. So I didn't have a choice, so I burned one of the warehouses. Work enthusiasm or stubbornness"

"It is."

A glance at the barbus scratching his head, looking at those lined up with tense faces. The servants, the servants, the maids. Seeing as how he didn't escape, he seems to be loyal to his duties. Nevertheless, there is no particular tendency to disobey.

The Baha 'is talk about everyone being brave and showing resistance to the invaders, but they are still individual people. It's not really possible, such as being from and having a fixed personality. Noel, who had no idea where he was from, had a crush on him like that.

(Speaking of which, where am I from?... I figured I'd be born in that church)

"Hmm."

As Noel roars pointlessly, one of his servants calls out to him as a fart.

"... Um, may I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"What happened to our master, Master Bellotte?"

"Yeah. I called for you to surrender, but on the contrary, I killed you because you came slashing me. My neck is here, though. Want to see?"

Put forward the wrap Noel had in his hand. Hit, and the squire lags behind.

"Maybe I want to mourn you, but I can't give it to you right now"

"... Really? Too bad."

"Uh, I'm not going to kill you, and I'm not going to reach out to the people in the city. So from now on, you can do whatever you want."

"Well, even if they say so. We don't know what to do without Master Bellotte either."

"It's okay, it's okay. We'll be out in a minute. I'll ask Master Grohl to send me someone decent."

"Yes, sir"

The servants show relief at any rate.

"By the way, I'd like you to bring someone who knows me best here later. I need to ask you something."

"I don't mind that.... Even if they say this one, the range is too wide. Specifically, where?"

"I often go in and out of the Balkez Mountains, the back mountain of the city, will you drop by the hunter or the wooddust? Nice to see you soon."

That's what Noel says, slapping the servant on the shoulder. And I urged Barbus to show me somewhere I could calm down.

Guided was the office used by Bellotte. It was a beautiful, medium-sized room decorated with paintings and pots. In particular, Noel is attracted to carpets woven in silk from the famous Bahar.

"Wow, this is amazing. It's beautiful, and the pattern is glowing. I wonder how."

"That's a good one inside. If I bought it outside of Bahar, it would be at a price that would pop my eyes out. They used the same thing in the Gemb Hall."

"It was made in this city. They use special bug cocoons to braid over time."

When Kai shares his thoughts as he touches the carpet, an old squire begins to speak with a proud face. The pride for them may be this manufacturing technique, not martial arts.

"I see. Boulders specialize in silk, Bahar. And I was impressed."

"Thank you. Master Bellotte used the most well-made objects. Especially since this carpet seems to have been very popular."

Looks like it was that guy's treasure. Noel got a little hungry. Normally, they get mad when they take people's treasures. But what if it's someone who's dead? Maybe not after all.

But Cynthia gave me the shaped glasses of her late brother. Ask him right, and if he says no, let's give it up. I thought so.

"Hey, if I told you I wanted you to sell this carpet, would you be pissed off?

When Noel asked to try, the old squire slowly shook his neck to the side.

"No, as soon as possible there is no Lord of this Hall, Lord Bellotte. Master Bellotte lost his wife early, and you didn't have any children. So it would be better for the carpet to have you use it, even though it's a vendetta.... Instead, please, I will sit down. Please, do not make abusive imitations of the inhabitants of the line."

"Yeah, I promise. Barbus, it's been a while since you've been here, but never to plunder. Tell him the man who broke it will be punished severely. Specifically, 'cause I'm gonna smash your head."

"Ha! If the captain says so, they'll tremble and be nice to the residents. Nevertheless, what are you going to do with this carpet?

"I'll have someone carry you to Madres later. Take care of it in my room. If I take a nap on this, I'm sure it'll feel good. - Which one?"

As Noel rolled over the carpet, it spread to the large letter as it seemed pleasant. Awesome slippery and pleasant. I thought it would be a shame to step on this with my shoes. But my squire told me that it was only worth it when it was used, and I thought it would be. Even if you take care of the tools, they just deteriorate without meaning.

"Excuse me.... What the hell are you doing? Is that an imitation of the vagabonds there? Dirty."

A ligret walking into the room looks down at me like I made a fool of myself. At the word vagabond, I turned my gaze to Barbus, so the usual interaction begins again.

"Who's the stray? It's time to remind his body that patience is limited."

"This is rude. What I did was true. And suing violence right away is wild proof, right?

"You shitty bitch!

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Noel has no choice but to stand up. It would be very sad if the carpet suddenly got dirty after being slashed.

"I was just getting my thoughts together. So, Ligrette's here, and we're going to discuss this."

When Noel prompts, Barbus, Ligret, and Kai sit around the long desk. The old squire politely greeted him and then left.

"That grandfather, you were a good man"

"I'm afraid they'll kill us all against you."

"Well, I guess so."

Noel does not disprove Ligret's words in particular.

"More than that, even when you say discussion, I don't know what you mean by dropping the line in the first place. Do you earn points?

"I guess Lord Noel has some idea. But I didn't expect you to fall the line less than a day after you took the offense. It made me feel better."

Kai's squad, as a separate squad with Balbus, was turning to the city's domination and firemen. The city's strength was so empty that no sacrifice was made at all. Above all, it's minor to the termite party, which is good at rough things. That is why Noel entrusted this role.

"Because Kai and Barbus did well. Perfect timing. Thank you both."

"Ha, no thanks. It was just right for my shoulders."

"Hehe, thank you. Captain Noel seemed like a brilliant escape."

"Actually, I imitated Ligret. Then the enemy came after me with a great deal of anger. It worked great!

"Now I heard words that I wouldn't listen to. Who did you imitate?

Ligrette, who would have heard it completely, asks as she cramps her face. I tried to answer you out loud again, and Barbus blocked me.

"It must be my fault. More than that, how was that?

"Yeah, I did a good job. It would be easy to burn down one city."

Noel slaps his desk with a ton of fingers. It doesn't make any particular sense just to be dressed.

I can't seem to help but notice the nervous ligret, I've already tongued him about twice. If you tongue louder again, you speak in a frustrating manner. You still seem angry.

"By and large, when did you bring that stuff in? Though I was not informed at all. That kind of thing comes in the way of a deputy."

A burning stone was used to burn down Bellotte's soldiers in the forest. Red ore in the Bork mine, ready to be picked in place of gold. Crush it while soaking it in water, clay and round it up and you're done. When I dip him in oil and set him on fire, he burns up in abundance, and at the end of the day he bursts into momentum. Barbas and the termites have developed a top-secret specialty at their expense. Soaking the ore in water when manufactured is nothing more than rupturing it when crushed as it is.

"I don't know what I'm going to get for letting you know. That's why I advised you. To surprise you, let's keep it a secret from that fool. Hehe."

"You must be the fool. Well, that's what the lowlifes think."

"- So, you're surprised?

"It's more unpleasant than surprising. If you don't tell me everything about the squad, I can't deal with it when something happens. For example, you would be in trouble if you accidentally died in battle. I'm the next person to lead the team."

Rigglett will say things that provoke him, but Noel in particular won't get angry. Because it's true you didn't tell me.

"Right. I'm sorry, Ligret."

"Heh, she's like real shit to assume the captain's death in battle. Hey, Captain, I'm not complaining about killing anyone right now. Do you want to do one shot here? Burn the body and throw it away."

"If you can do it, do it! You grey-haired monkey!

Barbus puts his hand on the hips sword. Ligrette is frightened for a moment, but stares quickly and takes an attitude through the sword as well. Barbus would definitely win if he actually did, but he wouldn't be able to apologize for Ligret's character.

"Look, you're one of us, so you don't have to kill me. Barbus is the leader of the termite party, and Ligret is an important deputy. Both of them are necessary to me. So let's get along."

Both, poisoned by Noel's words, take their hands off the sword and turn away from their gaze. Kai just looks interesting and doesn't look particularly blamed.

"... so, Captain Noel. What are you going to do now? As I said earlier, I don't think there's anything strategic about dropping such a remote city."

"Haha, what are you talking about, Ligret? This is the real deal. Fun fire festival is coming up!

"Huh? You don't make sense to me. No matter how many commanders, I don't have time to hang out with kids' jokes."

Noel decided to change his tone and give orders to Ligret, who turned to him. I'm in trouble if you don't do all this securely. Cynthia also said make up your mind when you make up your mind.

"Ligrette, put out your use for fatigue and deliver this bellotte's neck. And tell him this. Our Noel squad used a way out of the Barques Mountains to raid Besta, the capital of Bahar. We can make the grill succeed alone, but with reinforcements, we can make it fall. Hopefully, send Cynthia's squad. 'Cause if you're not someone who can communicate with you, it's gonna be a hassle."

"It's ridiculous. Though I don't think such an unscrupulous thing would be allowed. Weren't you saying the same thing the other day and buying laughter from everyone?"

"My squad of seven hundred and Kai's hundred, together with eight hundred. Plus a thousand Cynthia Squads can do devastating damage to Vesta. Barbus brought it, use all the burning stones. I'll burn all the fields under the castle."

"That's another fancy thing.... but that's all it takes to bear considerable notoriety.... Is the captain ready for that? Not just the devil, but every alias."

"Bahar matched the villages and cities of Coimbra with misery. So they won't be able to complain about our revenge. Because the voice of the winner will be right. If everyone thinks so, that makes sense. It's like that in the world, so I can't help it. So I do."

Noel speaks plainly. Barbus goes out of his mind for a moment, but he has no particular desire to disagree after learning of Rockbell's tragedy. Raiding the weak is about getting revulsion, but that's limited to the Coimbras. Whatever happens to the Bahar in Vesta, it's not the first thing I learned. Because it's over there that I've been getting my hands on first.

"... the word karma has long been passed down to Gemb. Good deeds mean good deeds, and bad deeds mean bad deeds return to themselves. But I guess it's the world that doesn't always do that. Exactly, the world is complicated and strange"

Kai, who wore an arm, meditated his eyes and groaned heavily. I didn't really understand what Noel was saying. It was just complicated and strange.

"Because I seem to be an evil, outrageous devil. There's nothing worse than what you've done. Yeah, now let's even fly a flag with a ghost face on it. I'm sure you'll all be surprised!

"Please don't! As long as I'm around, I'll never let you give me that flag! You'll be seen foolishly until I do!

Ligrette slaps her desk and disagrees. It was a joke, but it seems to have been taken seriously.

"Ha! Something like that, it really seems like a Gemb. Lord Noel, if the cold treatment at Coimbra continues, you should come and take refuge here. I would like to welcome you wholeheartedly. And my Lord, Sidden, will definitely like it."

Kai hangs an invitation with a serious look on his face. Noel, having trouble responding, replies only, "Just think about it," and looks at the map he spreads over the long desk. For a while now, there will come a bright line of humans in geography. If you're a woodcutter or a hunter, the Barques are like gardens. We have to extract information at all costs.

"I hope I listen and tell you honestly. If not, Ligret, will you listen to me?

"I'm sorry, but I'm not in favor of a Vesta ambush. Why are you holding me there?"

He indulged in tongue-beating and inquired with the expression that Ligret was not convinced.

"Yeah, okay. There are no fatigues or generals here, so I'll be honest. If I tell you, I don't know why we're all under Baha 'i control."

"That, Captain, will be in pursuit of Amir's responsibility after the war to capture Bahar 'i territory economically. It's a lame story, but if you kick Amir down, Master Grohl is the next emperor's most powerful. I'm sure the impotence will pass."

When Barbus says so, Kai and Ligret also agree.

"If you win, yeah. If we don't win, it doesn't mean anything. In the first place, the aim is to stop Lord Bahar from taking office as Crown Prince."

"Well, yes. Wouldn't it be strange to stiffen your feet to win?"

"It does matter, but I don't think I can take the time. What I'm worried about is whether the enemy's main force was really in Imperial City. To make sure of that, I want to blow Vesta away. You shouldn't be able to imitate it like leaving the state capital alone. It's about my reputation."

"... do that again. This is a report from a secret detective released by my father and Lady Gaddis, there is a mistake..."

"Hi, I'm curious. General Gaddis to General Wilm, plus Liberdam's envoy, Griel. Everyone's taking the time to march cautiously. What Lord Bahar hates most is that he is supposed to be marched at once, knowing the sacrifice. It's not funny when you get back that your hometown Vesta is falling."

"... Hmm, that's true. If it were Lord Bahar, it would not have been the case that he would have dropped the state capital he grew by hand salt."

I nod softly when Kai makes sense.

"Right. I'd provoke the coin bra first to get my hands on it first. Now prepare the righteousness to go backwards. Later, he pulled into the territory, sandwiched it with a soldier who lay low, and finally turned down the exit route and struck out a screen. The soldier who stayed down was the main unit that made him look like he was headed to the Imperial City. Oh, is the navy in Bahar moving in conjunction with Liberdam? If Bahar is buying time until the main force turns back, the victory is for sure. The most important thing here is to give the Coimbra Commander the confidence to“ win "until the end."

Soon Noel, who wore glasses, makes me try to lift him up so good. I'm thirsty after a long story, so I drink a glass of water. The heat was warming it up and it wasn't very tasty.

"... Captain, I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to talk too loud right now. Anyway, it's dangerous to say things by speculation. I don't know where anyone is listening. There are dobmice everywhere."

Barbus tries to say something, shuts his mouth. But that gaze stares at the ligret. Because I'm sure he's a Wilm's dog.

Ligret doesn't even try to hide his uncomfortable expression. That would be the case, too. Noel is obviously saying that Wilm, Gaddis' policy is a mistake.

But that's not the only reason I'm uncomfortable. Ligret perceives that his father Wilm is through friendship with Amir. I've watched a few messengers from the Bahr come and go, so I'm pretty much sure. But no one believes in exposing it. It is the mountain of Sekiyama that will be closed for being confused. So Ligret chose to follow the flow with great care. I had no choice but to survive.

Noel is trying to defy the flow from the front. Ligret doesn't know what to do now. That was uneasy, uncomfortable and irresistible.

"So, I'll ask you. Your thoughts are all speculative, aren't they?

"Yeah!"

Clearly, Noel. There's nothing to prove. I want to unleash scouts, but if Noel's words are not trusted, it makes no sense. I wish I could show you the sight that the enemy main force is here, but I can't do that.

"Then with such uncertain information, I just think of it as foolishness, such as taking drastic measures. Or is it a certainty that your strategy will always win?

"Haha, your father asked me the same thing, but there's no way I can be sure I can win. I don't know if I'm gonna try it at the end."

Again Noel ran out of words. No matter how many thoughts you go around, you don't know how to fall unless you hit it at the end. If all the measures put in place work, there will be many emperors in the world.

"This is really ridiculous. That's why they laugh at the shame of the Coimbra army and so on. If you're going to name a knight, why don't you speak your common sense!

"I don't care about common sense. I just need to win no matter how much they laugh at me. First, there is no way in this world that there is a" certainty that you can win ”. If there is, just put it in a trap for the upside down. Fighting is a trick behind your opponent. I learned that before."

"... kidding, manipulative. That's how you keep answering your mouth, so the people up there stare at you!

Ligrette cursed herself up on the shelf. Everyday, I'm the one who wants to smoke by saying all the extra words to Wilm. My superiors, colleagues, and subordinates keep their distance. Even if you're aware, you can't stop it. At this rate, I have an inner threat that sooner or later it won't be far to be crushed by this superior officer known as the devil. Still doesn't stop talking, so it's a kind of disease.

"Anyway, I can't disobey orders any more. I'll give up" control ”if Taisho says he can't do anything about it. I have to obey my superiors' orders and military rules."

Just stop the repression and do the baking. Otherwise it is just a waste of bones.

"Oh, what are you saying that sounds great about the obvious"

"Regards about the messenger to Taishou. Barbus, call me when the dust or hunter arrives. Kai can do whatever he wants. Let the soldiers rest."

"Got it!

"Well, then, I guess I'm pretty busy."

When Noel said so to each of them and moved, he began to roll gobbly on the silk carpet. Destiny and how will they roll from now on? I have no idea what to expect. Then just do everything you can right now. Noel simply decided to think.

Hopefully, I'd be glad Cynthia came. In the battle with her, I've never lost. Vesta control is sure to work.

- Bahar State, a camp. Amir in the midst of turning back from the imperial capital was taking a short break by stopping the soldiers. That number is 30,000. From the south streets, we are sending 20,000 men, led by General Balzac. North and south, the aim was to sandwich them in one go.

Around 10,000 have remained as defensive soldiers throughout the Bahr. Naturally, the defense for each city becomes thinner. Even though it is a measure, it is still intolerable to give your city to the enemy. Amir was struggling to push and kill the sense of impatience that was coming in.

"Dear Amir. This is a call from the Castle Fortress of Carnas. Chief Hoslo fought bravely to the end and was killed brilliantly."

"... well, did Hoslo do his job? At dawn, when I seize the throne, I will surely reward the bereaved of his people."

"And there's another bad report. The city at the foot of the Barques Mountains, the line, has fallen. The lord Count Bellotte appears to have been killed in action as well as going out to intercept. Looks like he's under enemy control now."

Amir's wisdom bag, Mills the staff officer, tells me that with one hand the paperwork. Sleeping blush head with a soft look that looks good to people. Seems like just a good guy at first glance, but all the measures I'm going to suggest are all this is disgusting. People are people who go to the ground, not according to what they see.

If Farid's Black Yang Ride is in charge of Amir's martial arts, Mills is in charge of the measures. By making the most of these two wheels, Amir reached the point where he was on the verge of winning the Emperor. These are the people who are indispensable to the reign of Amir.

"You think the line was dropped? You've got a little trouble."

Amir looks at the expanded map. If the Coimbra army is after the state capital Vesta, the only way to do it is through the central street. But if the enemy is looking for danger over the mountain, this line will be the shortest base.

"... I'm afraid I do. Is it possible that you just attacked a thin stronghold without any particular thought? I was wondering if the fools in the coin bra could have had enough."

One of the martial officers gives a convenient idea, but Mills denies it's possible. Naturally, Amir thinks the same thing.

"You mustn't insult the enemy. Immediate alarm is the greatest drawback of our excellent Baha 'is. Fighting is a change of circumstances, and the Commander must strike the next hand with that in mind. The general who dropped the line will undoubtedly be aiming to cross the mountain first. No wonder the locals know one or two ways out."

After scratching his hair up, Mills places a pawn on the line imitating the balance and proceeds to the Barques Mountains.

"But I don't think it's my brother's idea. After the fall of the coin bra, my brother is starting to care about his health by the time he's nervous. Until you take risks, it's hard to imagine taking precautions."

Though it was Amir who drove him to do so. He used rhetorical flying without threading on gold and thoroughly scattered Grohl's bad reviews. In response, he asked the people to describe the remarkable development of Bahar and to plant the impression that Amir was better. I understand it's a bad way, but this is the usual way to grasp the emperor. There is no point in being criticized because Grohl could have taken as many countermeasures as he wanted.

"So did even the troublesome wise man draw to his side?"

"You haven't heard anything like that."

"Then that commander may have dropped it arbitrarily"

"So it's troublesome. If the pawn moves on his own, he will be watered down by a serious battle with his brother. Isn't that right, Mills?"

Amir sends Mills his gaze. Mills, who raised the edge of his mouth, takes another piece of paperwork out of his nostalgia.

"You're right. Depending on my spy research, the commander who dropped the line is with Chief Noel Vossheit. Troops seem to be less than a thousand. Now we need to rest our troops on the line and prepare for the next one."

"It's not a threat if it's about a thousand degrees, but it's troublesome when they call for reinforcements. With the number of Vesta's defensemen today, it's impossible to defend the castle completely."

"Master Left. Under your throat, like being stuck with a short knife. Dear Amir, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take this place back immediately."

Other staff members express their opinions. But Amir shook his head sideways.

"We're in a covert operation. If we send the soldiers to the recapture, there is a risk that the position of the main unit will be known. Then everything is water bubbles. The pinnacle of stupidity, such as being brought to a front-cut showdown. … at all, the man named Noel has done a really nasty imitation."

"As for that, it looks like that general named Noel recently started serving Coimbra. Besides, if you are a woman, you are the owner of a warrior who is called the devil and is afraid. As a matter of fact, it was the one who took over Lord Hoslo. No, why is there a demon in the weak soldier and the famous coin bra? I'm really here."

Mills takes tricks like that. But this is also a white act. With its head, it has already begun to figure out how to remove it. Amir and I can't be alarmed. If you do poorly, this strategist could even take the throne.

But if you can't use as many people as you can, you can't be an emperor. That is the statute of those who stand at the apex.

Amir smiles sparingly and speaks to Farid, who refrains on the side.

"Damn, I'm not a demon to a woman. Farid, I think they took your stock first."

"Ha. Let that Noel be our threat for sure. Not only have we captured Lord Listig, the fold in the coin bra earlier, but our Geb, Ned, has been taken over by this man. They were both quite soldiers. I don't believe in rumors, but I can't be alarmed."

Farid frowns and gives a cautious opinion. I am confident in my power, but I do not insult my enemies. Alarm is the first step that creates a chronic mind and leads to defeat. I was thoroughly knocked in that place.

"This is another horrible thing. Then we have to do something about it as a staff officer."

"… So we only select the most elite from our Black Yang rides and raid the line? I was wondering if it would be so difficult if we just got rid of Noel. If it's a small group, I don't think it might make the enemy suspicious."

"Um, that's not one hand. If it's a stone, only remove the pieces in the way. Let them play, they can get nasty later"

As Amir begins to conceive her gaze toward the universe, Mills begins to leak a disgusting laugh.

"Huffle, what the hell. Don't worry about it at all. For times like this, it took a lot of money and a long time to create a collaborator in the coin bra. Besides, I even gave you a bill of glory after the war, so hey. Quickly, but let's try to get the General to move!

"Are you going to use Wilm? If you move too much, your rocky brother might notice."

"I understand that. But it's a waste to use anything that can be used. The reason Bahar has developed is because it has forcefully turned massive waste into an effective resource. This method works not only in internal affairs but also in warfare."

Mills strips his teeth out and smiles. The soft expression is turned around and transformed into that of an evil strategist. This two-sided nature is the pinnacle of this man. That method, which is used in a flexible and free manner, is of great help for amyl. At dawn when he gets the throne, he's going to appoint Mills as prime minister and Farid as marshal. Neither is Bahar going to let go. I intend to put my deputy under direct control, so that my will can fully reach me. The valiant soldiers of the Bahar must be kept at their side.

"I see. You're certainly right. Anyone who can use it will have to use it. Even if you get slashed and thrown away, that doesn't matter. Let's get your brother into a mess."

"Huff, thank you. Dear Amir, I'll take care of everything for you, Mills! Let's get rid of the silly female ghost in the coin bra, with a slice of paper. Huh!"

"All right, I'll leave the ghost exorcism to you. Instructions to Wilm are yours, too. Allow any means to be used. Farid, we will proceed as planned."

"It's my pleasure. Huhuhuhu, you can work the hegemonic exposures of Master Amir, and this Mills, it's an honor!

"I'll take care of it!

Mills and Farid nod and praise each other deeply. Amir nodded contentedly when she saw it.
