The girl with the fire wheel.

Episode Thirty: Tomorrow's Weather.

After burning down Karnas, the transferred Noel squad successfully entered Coimbra territory safely. Because the Baha 'i army's reduced march speed, and the lack of a chaser, allowed us to act quickly.

Nevertheless, the situation in Coimbra territory has changed dramatically over the past month. Most lords have already disobeyed, and their numbers are increasing day by day. Each village is also beginning to grasp the situation and it is the end of spontaneous lowering of the coin bra flag. For the Noels, it is harder to say that it is the earliest safety zone. And the Baha 'i army, 50,000 led by Amir, completes the repression of Baha 'i territory. He was breaking into Coimbra territory in an attempt to attack back to Madres, the state capital. Raise the flag of the sun which Befnum gave you. Every one who defies this flag will be a rebel.

As I find myself the successor to the Sun Empire, Amir began his prestigious, westward march of the streets.

"When you give the signal, as usual, Ligret blows the assault trumpet. Of course, not if you really want to attack me."

"... there's no point in doing this. It's a good place to burn stones and water."

"Shit, Ama's got a dark root to say. You're just really good at lowering our morale."

"Shut up! To that big army opponent, every day and every day such a small worker. I was just wondering what the hell that meant!

The ligret starts making noises. I was in favour of it being effective at first, but if I had to run it myself, fatigue would accumulate. And the stupidity leaks. Noel thought again that this would leave very little to the commander. You like to think on a desk, but you can't do it yourself.

Naturally, I wouldn't say that face to face. I'm sure it will hurt you. It is important that the right materials are in place. It's up to you to do it yourself. And forcefully take Liguret, who leaks stupidity. If you take him, he occasionally gives you interesting opinions. This is the correct form of command and deputy.

"We need to do what we can. Besides, it's the fight they do what they don't like. Enemies, even if they're laughing at first, will soon be frustrated."

"Yeah, I hope so. This one's getting annoying."

Tongue-in-cheek ligret, balbus staring at it. I'm not involved, Kai. Not at all. It's the usual sight.

Noel places soldiers along the streets of the Bahar army, especially where hills, forests and other dots are dotted. He blew his assault trumpet several times, day and night, or beat the drums of war like crazy. The Bahar soldiers, who witness the tragedy of Karnas, rush into formation and take an interceptive stance. That demon is engraved in the soldiers with anxiety and fear that they don't know what they're going to do, and a strict vigilance is always taken. The fact that the other day the Black Yang mount was sacrificed by twenty horsemen has been spreading among the soldiers since sometime, with a tail on and rumors continue to spread.

But enemies never show up. The sound of the heard trumpet can be raised with a two-hammer flag, but it has never actually come to attack. Soldiers who were nervous at first can also get used to it no matter how many times it lasts. I gradually fail to be vigilant, and I stop caring about the sound of the trumpet. Evil ghosts, etc. are still just rumors, and they start showing us room for fear, etc. etc.

Just waiting for it, Noel leads the termite party in a raid. Target is a blunt moving heavy squad. Burn it down thoroughly and by the time the main unit returns, it will be oblivious. These kinds of guerrilla warfare are the best thing about the termite party that has survived based in the mine. Led by Noel, who excelled in combat, he rammed endlessly.

The Bahar army was plagued by this guerrilla method of warfare and always tried to resolve it by keeping guards around heavy units. All soldiers were given the touch of never being cautious, and those who disobeyed were given strict orders to behead. The Bahar soldiers will be forced to maintain tension and will be scattered with mental power by Noel, who has only repeatedly threatened them again.

"I've got a lot more security, but for that matter, the enemy seems to be getting a lot tired. Rigglett, that must have meant a lot."

"... well, what about that"

"You really are a mouthless woman. Doesn't it work how you see it? Always this guy, his face is exhausted. You don't look like a righteous and glorious army flying the flag of the sun."

Barbus with his binoculars mocks him.

The footsteps of the Bahar soldiers are heavy to see, and they don't look good. Being constantly frightened of raids is probably under a lot of pressure. Noel rang his fingers and kept him happy with what he was aiming for.

"If that's where the enemy stands, it's not a hoard. Preparing for an invisible enemy is a difficult thing. If you keep getting ready every day, you'll be exhausted sooner or later, and if you stay alert, the devil will attack you. If I try to chase him, he'll run away at first sight.... Well, aren't you actually a real ghost?

Noel laughs happily as Kai has said it in his true face.

"What would you do if you did?

"Right. I just want you to tell me the secret to becoming a ghost. That's what I want to fight as a servant to protect my country."

"Haha, you can be anyone with a horn on your head! I'll show you how to make it later. Rigrette, get your hips off me."

"What if I'm saying something stupid! Though it does make us more exhausted, our enemies are well on their way to Coimbra territory. We need to seriously think about how we can hit our enemies hard!

Ligret's right, but if there's such a big blow, I'm doing it all the time. So now I'm in the middle of spreading the bait. Should I have one more chance? If you miss that, you have no more winning eyes.

"... but there's nothing else you can do. We're under a thousand men, but we're dealing with over 50,000 men. The advantages of us are that small circles work. So don't think this is a good idea now"

"In the middle of a conversation, Captain, I thought it was time."

"Yes, you are."

With that said, Noel sends a signal with his hands up to those of the termite party. It's a signal to raise fire on the side of the Baha 'i army. An easy firing device for placing burning dead grass and just hanging oil and shooting fire arrows. Sometimes I have to live up to my expectations because I somehow know they don't like fire meters. Because it's small, it won't be able to do any harm to them in particular. There is no problem because it is harassment.

The termite party archer, and Noel, too, lay a bow and strike a fire arrow into the firing device. Then, he also punches an arrow into the leading Bahar cavalry and shoots it down. The rows of noisy Bahar turn to us. But covered in rugged trees, it's hard to come all the way up here all at once. Moreover, the opponent has to move while alerting the ambush.

"That's it for today, shall we go next? Because there are other enemies that rot."

"Ha!"

Noel signaled the lifting and began the retreat while hiding in the grass.

Noel, who was free to act, was ready to do what he thought he would. Until now, I had to ask my superiors for permission to do anything. But Noel, who has left that bondage, fully enjoys his freedom.

The way Noel takes the city is simple and clear. Raise the Bahar flag you took from your enemies and make a dignified visit to a small city that is believed to have rebelled. The military costume belongs to a coin bra, but when I tell him I'm under Wilm, he opens the gate and lets me in without any doubt. Under these circumstances, there are no people on the coin bra side, so naturally. I owe Wilm a lot of things, so I have to give it back from here on out.

"How are the people in the city?

"He threatened me at first, but now he's a big man. When I found out I was from the same coin bra, I felt safe."

Barbus answers. Noel, who entered the city easily, detained the lord who came to see him on the spot. Taking weapons away from the upset defensemen took control with a quick move.

While repeating false troop actions against the Baha 'i army, Noel is in parallel by falling a rebellious city. The city has supplies and a place to rest. I just thought there was no hand in not using it. I'm not on your side anymore, so I don't care what you do with it.

By the way, it will be the fifth in this city to let it fall. It seemed ridiculous at first sight, but lying was a very effective means. We only have to see the flags that are flying to identify, the status quo we do not know who is the enemy and who is on our side. Perhaps you'll be fine, the margin that only you can handle it creates alarm. Lords who have never been on the front line, the defense has no shards of tension either. It would have been far easier to deal with the Baha 'i army, such as following it.

"Oh well. That's good. If they disobeyed me, I'd be in trouble."

As far as I can tell, residents don't try to come out locked in their homes. Though not so prosperous originally, it is as quiet as ruins.

"I don't have that courage with those guys. By now, you must be desperate to keep the sun from catastrophe."

"You'd be happier in the world if God helped you just by praying"

When Noel mutters, the termite party people around him nod and agree over and over.

"By the way, the lord is tied with rope, what do you do?

"Hmm? The traitor needs to be killed. If you let him get away with it, he'll just have more enemies. As usual, slash your neck and leave it exposed."

"I'm crying and begging for my life, okay? He said he'd do anything."

"Of course. I'm tired of hearing the lord cry now, so I don't need to talk to him now. You don't even have to forgive your enemies. I don't even think it'll help. So just snap your neck."

Noel runs his thumb around his neck. Dirk said, but they have to abide by the military code. Treason can only be death. Then it would be right to do so. Dilk seems to be dead, so I thought I'd at least protect that. to the best of our ability.

"Oh, if you're going to execute me, why don't you leave it to me? I have a little idea."

I hear you came up with something, Ligret.

"That's good though. What are you gonna do?

"It's a ghost rumor spread because of it. I thought I'd make more use of it. I was wondering if it was worth a try."

"Hmm. I'm worried about something, but I'll leave you to Ligret. Sorry, Barbus."

"No problem. Then the city's defensemen will threaten you severely before you let them go."

"Yeah. Keep it thorough enough to never think of having a sword again. Maybe I could break one of your arms."

"I'm going to.... Until a month ago, I was on your side, but somehow, it's intelligent. I can't do this."

"That's what the world is like. Deep down, you should stop because you're gonna die prematurely."

Noel receives a water bottle from Barbus and mouths it. Inside, there's a booze of sight. I can't drink a lot, but it's fine for a little bit.

"... somewhere and I want to do a liquor platter for a while. I don't think I drank with such a chick."

"Haha, when the fight is over, let's drink enough to take a bath. Cynthia will have to ask her out."

"If you ask Master Cynthia out, you'll be pissed off again. I was angry that you couldn't be human when you were drinking all the time."

"Yeah, you must be pissed off.... It's really always loud, but you're lonely without me. Yeah, it's pretty tiring to keep fighting."

"That's what it must be like to fight. It may be interesting to the captain, but it's usually painful and hard. I've been at the Bork mine for a long time, and I know it well."

"Yeah, there's something you'll know after going through it. I studied."

Noel appropriately hammered Barbus' words.

Noel treats the inhabitants of the fallen city with a tolerant attitude. Lords are also the only ones who deal with beheading. I didn't even kill the whole clan. Defenders are freed with some punishment and do not loot from residents. Noel sees them as not allies, but not enemies.

"... uh, I need more booze"

Noel pours just one more glass and the Lord's secret wine into a glass. When I drank it up, the tannins and bitterness spread through my mouth. I thought it would be sweeter, so Noel was disappointed. Because the contents of the tall product were bad, I drink water and re-mouth it.

"... Captain, please don't burn the city again."

"I don't say the same thing over and over again. But I know exactly what it is. I promised I wouldn't, so I won't. I will never break my promise."

Noel pointing his mouth. I don't really like being persistently told the same thing over and over again. Because I don't feel trusted. Nevertheless, that may also be irrelevant. Barbus was furious when Noel killed all the defensemen and the city and the fields were completely burned down. Momentum that's going to kill me now. What the hell would I have done if my people had slashed me? I figured he was fighting back because he didn't like to be killed. And I guess you'll be sad afterwards. I feel that way.

"I'm sorry. I just really wanted to keep it in mind."

"Barbus is a really good man. You'll make a good father."

When Noel says so, Barbus blows out the booze.

"... stop teasing me. It's bad for your heart."

"My hair is white, but my face is bright red, funny!

"Captain, come on!

"Haha, I'm sorry. I made a little too much fun of you."

"Damn, I have a face too. Give me a break."

"Hehe, parent. It's under your nose."

"Ugh!

The first perception of Noel was that if the lord betrayed him, everything in that city betrayed him. You better have one or fewer enemies. Naturally all the defensemen are killed. I don't have a base in supplies, I don't want them to stay where they are. I thought it would be better if I baked it in order to make it look like this if I betrayed you. I also tried to flesh out the reputation of walking alone, such as the devil.

But I honestly stopped because my buddy Barbus was so hard against me. "Lords have just betrayed us, something that has nothing to do with the residents. I just burned down their house and nothing will change. Instead, it just increases the number of enemies," he said. And he said, "The captain used to say Coimbra was his castle. Then it is wrong to suffer those who live there".

I thought so, so Noel promised not to burn the city that had fallen.

"Then, if you collect as much as you need again, you can distribute it to the city people. I can't hold it anyway, because it was originally made by everyone who worked."

"I hear it every time, really, can I distribute it all? Once you give it to me, you'll never come back."

"Every time, fine. Soon, the Baha 'is will come to this city. I don't have anything for them."

Noel decided to distribute to the residents the supplies that the Lords were collecting as taxes in order to burn them down. You can't travel with it all, or if you leave it, it will be received by Bahar. Then I'd feel better if I gave it to you generously. If Bahar came and took it from them, there would surely be rebellious sentiment. It's not a bad idea to plant sprouts to start with, and most importantly, Noel loses nothing. Act with a view to the future, not just now. One of the teachings left by the Sun Emperor. There are no shards such as feelings of respect for the Sun Emperor, but Noel decided to try to do it because it was something he remembered at the corner.

"... is it time?

"Yeah, we're almost there. If it's going to be an ambush, I wonder if that's the only place I've ever told you about. There's a place to hide, and the line stretches even if the road is narrow and I don't like it. Neither can an intrusive cavalry move freely. Really, it's a great place."

Ask Barbus, when he takes the treasure glasses out of his nostalgia, he makes him act smart. When I wear these glasses, I actually feel like I'm getting a headache. Plus, it's kind of fun because I feel like I can even hear Cynthia preaching. But if it breaks, it's tough, so I usually take care of it.

Noel's aim now is to take Bahar's fat amyl neck. No, you won't be able to overturn this disadvantage unless you take it. I'm going to try my best to the end, but I'm not stupid enough to think that I can pull everything back. Noel is also going through a lot of thoughts. The raid point is a point in the mountains in the middle of Canaan Street. He lurks in the mountains, lurks in the front row, and gets upset, and Noel's main unit runs into the group where Amir is.

For this time, Noel went on and on to set up acts of agitation. The vigilance has gotten tougher, but it's tiring to stay nervous. The aim was to reduce the morale of the enemy by increasing exhaustion. If morale drops, discipline will be disturbed and alarm will arise. That's what it is, I'm pretty sure it's because the chief of the gendarmerie also said so.

And I frequently planted a fire meter because I wanted to plant a fire threat thoroughly on my enemies. If the induction unit shows the bare gesture of the fire meter, the enemy will have to ride. Although small, it can be fatal on narrow roads. Disruption even if you don't like it, move on to pursuit. Amir's leg stops, which would be in the middle of the line. That's the aim.

"You'll have arms. If you're good, you've got a big handle. Captain Noel is definitely born, and we're heroes of the Coimbra!

"Parents, are we among the heroes?

"Naturally. Kill Amir, and everything's broken. I don't know what will happen to Grohl's bastards, but Bahar is sure to be in havoc. It means we can buy enough time to rebuild."

I also feel a lot sweet, but Noel also thinks that's the best way to do it. For one thing, there is no doubt that Bahar's soldiers will retreat. I'm pretty sure Grohl will be held accountable, but as for Noel, if Elgar and Cynthia are safe, I don't care later.

"... hmm. But I don't know."

"What is it?

"I was wondering if it would work out so well. The enemy won't be stupid, either."

"What are you weak about? I did everything I could. Later, you'll just get in the mood. Tell that shit to blow more trumpets than usual, so don't worry."

Barbus was right, I did everything Noel could. I intend to. Take Amir's neck and bring the place into a scratchy, five-minute situation by the time it is completely skinless. The stigma of Grohl's renegade will not disappear, but if Amir's reign is gone, the meaning of this battle will be completely lost. Amir's death is an absolute condition for Noel to win.

But thanks for the bad weather. It would be advantageous for Noel to have poor vision. Bad things always happen on rainy days. Cloudy weather I don't know which way to fall now. If I wanted, I wanted it to be clear.

"But when I get here, I can't help it. Yeah, you have no choice, do you? We just have to do it."

When Noel wears his glasses and stands up, he tells Barbus to leave the next day. Tell him to take his last break and prepare for the showdown. Intentional Barbus took the termite party faces out of the room. Ligret is executing the lord, and Kai is working on checking supplies. Noel is the only one in the room right now.

"I don't know, you're free. But now we have to keep it together."

Noel rubbed his forehead unconsciously, then slapped both cheeks to regain his temper. In this case, nothing goes well. We have to work hard here. Discuss Amir, the General of the enemy. It's for everyone, it's for yourself.
