The girl with the fire wheel.

Episode XXXII: Tears of the Dream-Torn Dojo

The Noel team, who left Yavitz, attempted to return to Madres via a rock bell along the street. But when Noel enters the castle, he becomes troublesome, and Amir is afraid, he orders this to be obstructed. Kuroyang Knight marched to block Noel's whereabouts, intercepted him when he set him up, and obstructed him with the policy of not pursuing him in depth. Amir was vigilant about Noel, who seemed passive but tried to feed himself on the road with his enemies. In case you lose Farid, who is your right arm, you will be scratched by a complete victory. Because a lot of people have already made up their minds and there is no need to bother pursuing them at all.

Amir sends Wilm ahead and instructs Grohl to surround the surrounding Madress. to exert pressure with the Liberdam Navy and give them an ultimatum to drink. If you refuse, you are going to make a total offense, but you also want to get it intact if possible. The port of Madres is the westernmost part of the continent. This and Liberdam should be the base of departure during the Mundonovo continental expedition. If humans, supplies, facilities, etc. can be used as they are, they have never crossed it.

Meanwhile, Noel, who was aiming for Madres, was forced to reroute due to this obstruction. The soldiers are hurt, and their numbers are reduced to eight hundred. In addition, Commander Noel has been injured in the hand. I wasn't in a situation where I could make a forced breakthrough.

Noel, who eventually gave up entering Madres, decided to go for the city of Volvo. Located in the north of Madres, the city still falls under the control of Coimbra. Nevertheless, the lord who cut off the coin bra has already escaped with all his wealth. It has been lonely since the gold in the Bolk mine was depleted, and it is not a particularly important base in terms of strategy. The Baha 'is didn't bother to drop this. Gembu in the north is still holding soldiers around the barracks. Speaking of a blank zone of tactical force that was coincidental.

On the road, Noel had been repeatedly raided by rebellious lords and nobles from Coimbra. A huge reward is like a guaranteed one if you pick up a vigilant Noel from Amir. Everyone glances at their desires and leads about 100 soldiers who scratch in a hurry to attack them from the front.

"Even though there are few soldiers, they always come straight from the front. Do we look so weak?

Noel to arm. If you have a number close to the same number, bumping from the front is not a foolish idea. If you make a bad ambush and fail, you can also suffer a huge defeat. But obviously, because of your disadvantages, I don't understand you coming all the way out here to lose.

"No, you just don't know how to fight. He's licking us because he thinks we're crushing the army."

"In Gembu, don't even call it a fallen warrior hunt. The peasants take their weapons, they strip them, they take their necks."

Kill the crushing soldiers and take their gear. You can also get a reward if you take it off the general's neck and give it away.

"I see. But if it's payback, you can't help it."

"What a lord's job is to just use your head for money and entertainment. There's no way we can fight."

"You're an idiot. That's just prejudice. There are good lords."

"Hate, I've never seen it. You're a lord, aren't you? Nobles only have people like shit. For example, with you."

When Barbus laughs with his nose, Ligret argues as he pulls his mouth apart.

"Master Cynthia is noble, too. I'll make sure you get it right."

"He's a fine knight, even a nobleman. Heh, that's an exception."

"I hope that excuse comes through."

"Well, I guess it's time. Ligret, retreat trumpet. Everybody, once we get out of here!

Talking like that, Noel makes the soldiers look like they're retreating and running away. A screen full of left and right ambushes where the enemy has left the momentum to come. I don't have any particular idea, but the lords I've set up smashed it to pieces in this way without skin.

He is not the enemy of the Noel squad, such as the nobles, who have no real combat experience and have never exercised proper command. When he is pinched, he immediately falls into a state of panic and begins to crumble. Noel slaps down the great man who tried to escape first, throwing an arrow at the horse and catching him alive. This happens every time, too.

"Ma, wait. Since the founding of Coimbra, I have been a patriarch of origins..."

"You don't have to talk about anything extra. Because the first person told me all sorts of stories. Um, we're gonna do it again, right?

"Yes. It's a waste of time, so I'll do it right away. Look, come here."

"What are you doing! No, don't! Stop it, please!

Rigrette commands the soldiers to fire at the feet of the sobbing lord, as he slams on the wooden pile. The fire burns into the Lord's body one by one. And when I ignited the pile of straw, it burned all at once, enveloping the Lord's body. The screams of the captives and the screams of the lords are wooden spirits, and the unpleasant smell drifts in the wind. After a while, the lord's voice scratched out completely.

After being rendered powerless, the prisoner decides to leave it to Barbus to free him. You won't be able to fight for months.

"If you don't want to die, you just have to make a big deal out of it in the territory. I wonder why they're coming."

"When you get stronger, you must feel stronger yourself. The result is different."

"Well, it's about time the captain's notoriety spread. When you lay your hands on the evil Noel, when you are burned to hell. It will fit when the fool never shows up again."

Ligrette with a good face. What do you say, just saying.

"Um, I don't know if that was a good way. Raids don't decrease at all, and something like only my notoriety is spreading."

Noel twists his neck. Noel, whose enemy raid had gotten in the way, asked Ligret if there was any good way. Because I couldn't come up with a way like this. I immediately came up with about attacking the city of my attacking lord and burning everything down, but I stopped saying it because Barbus would get angry.

'I have a name for myself,' said Ligret. He said it would be good if he sentenced the captured lord to fire and showed intensely what would happen to the end of those who could not help themselves. He was already practicing in the Lords of the city he dropped earlier. Things have been tried and made to do, but there has been no decrease in enemy raids in particular.

"No, there will definitely be less raids. If you show off, your enemies' morale will be reduced. So there's nothing wrong with that."

"I wonder. It's just like it's a hassle. It's hard to prepare firewood every time."

"No problem at all"

Noel thought it wasn't convincing, even if Ligret said he wasn't going to prepare for the execution. Barbus has offered to burn this guy, so I'll dismiss him.

The next day, he was raided by a nearby garrison. Apparently the garrison captain had betrayed him. I gave it back gently.

The next day. The brother of the lord who burned him came to raid, calling him a hater. I killed him with one punch. Ligret had tongued over and over again that this wasn't supposed to happen.

The show is certainly effective, but few have witnessed it unlike Carnas. Is it the city's inhabitants and soldiers who are afraid? It will take a considerable amount of time for rumors to spread among them. After all, Noel thought inside that it was a subtle place to see if it would work.

Ligrette, who received Noel's gaze, said, "It's a fabric stone for later. Thousands of miles of road are a step away," he told himself. A positive and good trend, Noel praised him. Instead I got the tongue of the synagogue.

Ten days later, Noel finally reached the city of Volvo. The lord fled and was absent, so he decided to sit on his own in the deserted hall. Noel first instructs us to strengthen the defenses of the poor city. I paid the residents, cut out the marutai to install random piles, dig moats and buy some time.

Without any setup, the enemy cavalry will push you straight in. I don't even intend to die here, but I wanted to avoid a situation where a handful of Black Yang rides would tear me down.

"Hey, why aren't the people of the city evacuated?

"The rest of us in this city are just like he's already given up. I live that day and don't think about what's ahead. You won't even be able to go now, and you should let them do whatever they want."

The city of Volvo, formerly known as the Golden Town. Immersed in its glory, it is the inhabitants of this city who live in poverty. The people who want to start over have already moved to other lands.

Convinced, Noel decided to let him like it. And I'll give Balbus a different order than to consolidate his defense.

"Is it the manufacture of burning stones? Well, I don't mind. We need a lot of time."

"I don't mind that. But will you make as many as you can?

"What the hell are you going to burn by collecting a ton of that stuff? … No way, I'm going to burn the madre surrounded by enemies -"

If you light a fire under the castle, you will also cause some damage to the besieged army, but more than that, the Coimbras will die. I mean, there's no point in doing that at all.

"No, I'm not! If you do that, you'll even kill Cynthia and Young Man. Would you look at this for a second?

Noel takes out the little pot he was raising on his hips after angrily denying it. Out of the lid of the brown pot is something like a rope, and apart from that, a string is attached that allows the pot to hang. When he lit a fire from the tip of the double-forked spear to something like a rope and set it on fire, he spun the string around and threw it vigorously, aiming far forward.

A few seconds later, the kettle burst as the sound exploded, and the debris of the fire poured down from inside over the ground. Luckily no one was, but if they were, they would be badly burned.

"Ko, this is awesome. If you eat that, your enemies will be surprised."

"I mean, mine. How could you not have thought of throwing it when you used this to dig?

"No, no, if you throw something like this around a tree like that, you're going to have a mountain fire. Why, it was strictly forbidden to use it outside. I never meant to kill a coimbra soldier. Besides, this guy is likely to make people unhappy. I thought I should refrain from giving it to the world."

"I see. Then you have no choice."

Noel nods to Barbus' cautious opinion, too. If abused too much, the enemy would be surprised to start an investigation. I'm going to be deluded with oil and hay, but it's not strange when it's time to find out. Then I just want to make a devastating blow before it does.

"So, you make a lot of this guy?

"Yeah.“ Not powerful enough to kill people yet, but you'd be surprised if it came down like this. Use this to break through Madres' siege net and get inside all at once. There's something else you could use for provocation or something. You'd be upset if they threw you when you were asleep. "

Noel takes out another pot and throws it to Barbus. Barbus to receive in haste, nothing wrong with the contents because they are empty.

Noel had always wondered how to break through when he heard that Madres was finally besieged. I want to get to Cynthia at all costs, and I have to fight to protect Elgar. Because we have to keep our promises.

I flashed when I was forcing an annoying ligret to stay with me and even circling my thoughts. The enemy seems to be afraid of a fire meter, and the only way to make the most of it is to make use of the burning stone. And the Borc Mine is at the end of the eye and nose from this city. Noel decided to name this pot a Noelle-style throwing bullet. The life-taking Barbus has quickly dispatched a termite party to the Borc mine to begin mining and manufacturing combustion stones. If we can do it in large quantities, we have to look at it for a month.

By the way, in the meantime, a messenger from the Baha 'i army came and asked him to surrender. Noel used his words and legs to kick the messenger in the ass. The soldiers of the Noel squad who saw it cheered and were overjoyed even by the inhabitants of Volvo for some reason. He was supposed to be cornered, but when he saw them as if they weren't miserable, Noel nodded contentedly, and Ligret pounded his tongue and exhaled a deep sigh.

Unlike that, Madres Castle, which has a bitter atmosphere, between sights. Wilm was visiting as an envoy on the Bahar side, beneath Grohl, who was blue and white like a sick man and had his cheeks poured out with hard work. Wilm's outfit does not have a coin bra crest, but a sun crest from the flourishing Holseed Empire. At the earliest possible time, as if to declare you are not a Coimbra minister.

"Long time no see, Master Grohl. Sure, I remember it was since the Trice River. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're safe."

To the mocking Wilm, Grohl bites his lips and exasperates.

"Wilm, how dare you show up before me? If you know the shame, self-determination now, you traitor!

"A general in the highest rank of the army works betrayal first, etc! Lord Wilm doesn't seem to have any pride as a knight!

"Traitor, shame on you!

The ministers also curse and turn their gaze of condemnation. One of them, Cynthia, also had her bowels boiling back.

"Self-determination and so on is outrageous. My pride and loyalty are proven by this crest of the sun. It's a testament to the right decision, to the right deed. And it is also the highest honor of my Gramble family. Nothing to be ashamed of."

"How soggy. Wilm, isn't this all your fault? Leading us to defeat, waving tails on amyls to name a few! How long have you been betraying me?

"Ha, different from“ leading ”. It was you who decided to fight. And it was you who allowed my measures. [M] Yes, it was your responsibility, the Supreme Commander, that caused this. There's no reason to be blamed. By the way, one day we'll leave it to your imagination."

Wilm laughing with his nose. Cynthia finally stops being patient and hangs her hand trying to pull out her sword.

"You traitor, fix it there! This I will succeed or fail!

"Hmm, you mean kill me? I was a friend of Sydney. I would have done it with a scattered eye. It was all because of my roots that I was in that position, while being a woman."

"Shut up! If I had my father, I would have done the same! Take your neck on this occasion, and make it your guide to the dead!

"I know how you feel, but you'll calm down a little, Lord Cynthia! Indeed, Lord Wilm is an abominable sleeper, but now he is also the envoy of the Bahar! In order to move forward with the peace negotiations, we must listen!

"But"

"Keep it down!!

For a drink of Perius, Cynthia stops at soda. I can manage by eating and tying my teeth with my hands trembling with anger.

"Kukuku, now I am in the position of Coimbra Taishou proxy. I mean, you're the traitors, not me. That's all you need to know."

"Lord Wilm, I'd like you to move on. Don't waste any more time."

Cynthia is not the only one who is experiencing anger. Same thing as Perius. But we really need to move forward with the negotiations. We already know what conditions are being put forward. Later, depending on Grohl's decision. Perius decided to leave the final decision to the Lord.

"There are three conditions that Lord Bahar Amir has indicated to embrace peace. One is to immediately open the gates of Madres and admit us and the fleet of Liberdam at sea to the castle. Never show resistance at that time."

"... after what?"

"Two, immediate disarming of all Coimbra soldiers, and cessation of combat acts. This is also adapted for the Noel squad in Volvo. If Noel hadn't surrendered, Lady Amir would never have accepted peace."

Wilm reads out looking a little dissatisfied. As for Wilm, he insisted that he should be allowed to offer his neck, but Amir retreated from it. Then the devil will surely go down to the field, as it will be an extra hassle.

"... at the end?

"Three, the mastermind of chaos, Grohl Valdecca, is to plead guilty to all the sins involved in this series of wars and to be judged clean. Then tell him not to touch his wife, and he will allow all the generals to save him. With those eyes, it will be confirmed, but it will be good."

Wilm takes the letter out of his nostalgia and presents it to Grohl. Confirming it with an unfathomable look, Grohl confirms it with a rubbed voice.

"Are you sure you're going to save the lives of all the generals, and Sarah and Elgar? You're absolutely sure, Wilm."

"Yeah, of course. Kukku, everyone but you will be helpful. However, you will die as a tenant who caused this unhelpful battle and caused many victims. Yes, you take the stigma of a foolish rebel who betrayed the Holshead Empire into your own hands. It's your last job, incompetent."

…………

"But if only you and your wife are sure to help, let's promise this Wilm. Don't worry, I'll keep this promise."

Wilm tells with a mockery. On behalf of silent Grohl, Cynthia absurds her voice.

"Such an idiot! There's no way you can drink these terms! Sure, it was Coimbra who caused the war, but the cause in the first place was due to Bahar's plot! At the very least, we should have a fair investigation!

"Cynthia, that's enough"

"Taisho, it's not just your fault! Now the dead will not be rewarded either!

"... that's good enough. There is no need to make any more wasteful sacrifices. To those who die, I go and beg forgiveness."

"Taisho!!

Cynthia tries to keep her in mind, but Grohl has a consolidated expression of determination.

"If only I could die and save the life of a general, that would be best. Above all, it's unthinkable by nature, such as being able to help Sarah and Elgar, who are supposed to be in a coalition. … I surrender to Amir and be judged by adults. This is my last job as a babysitter."

When Grohl said so, he nodded powerlessly. I had already accepted death and completely lost things like pride, confidence and ambition.

"But Noel is still fighting. She will never give up. Noel promises to work for you young man and grab happiness together. Until the end, Noel will resist!

"... to Noel, I'm so sorry. Her greatest misfortune is only that she made a mistake with the Lord to serve. It's all my fault. I really, really don't have a face to match."

"The battle is not over yet. Madres can fight for the next year if he works with Noel, a firm castle surrounded by two walls, in Volvo. If we show our readiness to fight thoroughly until the end, we should be able to make peace on better terms!

Noel will never break his promise. Cynthia, who knows it, urges Grohl to reconsider. There are still 10,000 soldiers in Madres. Madres can bring a year, even if he was pushed by a strong castle, a large army if he was thoroughly defended. In the meantime, you may wish to draw on favourable terms in the negotiations.

"Cynthia, your honor is young. Similar to my late father Sydney, he is truly brave. But even if it sticks here, Master Amir will never give in. Think of all the sacrifices you've made with your futile resistance. Sure, Madres is a robust castle. Even if this incompetence commands, it may last about six months. But the sacrifice of the people will be compatible. Are you prepared to accept it?

"What a traitor says. Huh! How many Coimbra people do you think are dead because of your cowardly deeds!!

"It's all about the development of the coin bra, and protecting the lives of the people. I feel sorry for the dead, but I also want to end the fight quickly for them. Regardless, we intend to provide adequate compensation to the survivors later."

Talk to Cynthia as Wilm tells her. Wilm likes Cynthia, and he's not going to let her die in a fight like this. No matter how much they curse me, I'm not going to harm my friend's oblivion.

"How dare you! I will never be convinced!

"Think calmly. Sure, if you work with Noel, who's all over Volvo, you might be able to buy some time. But it is obvious that this is the first battle without winning. That's what your dignitary who was on the front line would know. I know exactly what it's like to want to fight through to the end. But is that the right decision as a knight? Don't let your temporal emotions flush you, think about it!

"... cum"

To Cynthia, who bites her lips, Grohl, with his face up, tells her.

"It's good enough, it's good enough, Cynthia. I sincerely appreciate your loyalty and that of those who followed me to the end.... Wilm, tell Amir you've accepted all the terms. We will open the castle gate tomorrow and disarm the soldiers. Cynthia, Chief Thousand, I'll leave Noel's persuasion to you."

"... but I very much don't think Noel will follow!

"If I cannot persuade Noel, then I shall make amends with the lives of me and my wife and beg for the lives of the castle soldiers. Even if Noel defied my life, that's something I can't help. I'm not in a position to face Noel. Never blame me."

With a faded face like a dead man, Grohl groans small. Neither the will to fight at the earliest, nor the ambition to try to relaunch. I had totally accepted to give up.

"Kukuku, that's a really great decision, Master Grohl. Your decision now must be the most wonderful since you became a coin bra. This wilm is very impressive."

When Wilm crooks his mouth and slaps his hand, Grohl stares at him with a grudge.

"... Wilm. I'm sure I was incompetent, but all of a sudden, your reward will come. Never forget that."

"This is said to be different. You were the first to betray our expectations. No, you can say I kept being betrayed. It is none other than you who will be rewarded and rewarded. As I said, there's no reason why I should be blamed at all!

…………

"Your misfortune is that you have been left to guard yourself even though there are no vessels. But don't worry. The misfortune will soon come to an end. Leave the rest to our coin bra people. Be sure to rebuild it and show it back to what it once was. You should watch it slowly under the tomb. Oh, don't worry, young lady, we'll live discreetly with your support."

Wilm shouted and laughed, glancing at the silent Perius and exiting between his grand glances.

Grohl also rises and leaves with his shoulders held by his squire. The ministers have given up on their fate.

Unsatisfied Cynthia stood there for a while, but eventually began to walk to fulfill the mandate she had been ordered to perform. Earlier, I could have slaughtered Wilm. That would have made me feel better. But at the price of that, tens of thousands of people have sacrificed. The battle will not end.

What would Noel have done? Probably stuck with the execution. It is Noel who is simple and easy to understand. If it's true, Cynthia wants to keep fighting with Noel, too. But Grohl has already decided his mind. It's painfully understandable not to make any more wasted sacrifices, and only Elgar, Sarah's life, wants to help.

(Can't help it, huh? Really, it's an irrational and unbelievable world.... Hey, Noel)

When Cynthia exhaled loudly, she consolidated one determination.

An hour after the negotiations, Cynthia left Madres with hundreds of her own squadrons. They were talking through, and the siege was temporarily lifted and the Cynthia squad was able to go bare.

The destination is the city of Volvo in the north - a city symbolized by the glory and apocalypse of Coimbra, where Noel flourishes.
