The Old Knight of a Frontier District

Lesson 2: The Land of the Werewolf King (Part II)

3

In my country we just explored the state of the country.

Surprisingly, then, the end of the battle is finally opened and the armies of the nations are attacking towards the capital of Zarban.

Hi, it seems that the three countries of Teula, Seion and Kalisau had a bond with Sinkai.

They are all countries that depended badly on green flame stones and wanted more green flame stones.

Since sometime, the number of warcraft has decreased and the beast has been quiet, and long-distance mass transit has become much more difficult than it was a long time ago.

In every country, the population was on the increase, and you needed fuel to support it.

The way Sinkai, Tula, Seion and Kalisau did things was cowardly and extreme.

It suddenly hit the Zarban country without even declaring war.

It's the bandit's way, not roughly the honorable knight's way of fighting.

But Zarban succeeded in blocking the passages of only five rocky mountains, although he was devastated by the fighting.

But it's still unclear how, but Sinkai pulled out the west aisle.

Was it also betrayal on Zarban's side, or did you even know it was like a secret path?

Zarban's defenses collapsed and Teula, Seion and Kalisau also entered the Mountain Mordos system.

I mean, the armies of the Four Kingdoms attacked like a tsunami from the west, north and east.

The Principality of Zarban was a sparsely populated country in the first place.

In a small basin surrounded by the Mount Mordos system, there was the capital of Zarban.

There were several cities, as surrounded by them.

No matter how strong the Zarban knights were, they thought the number of enemies was too high to resist.

Later, the Knights of the Temple of Mercano and the Gainellian army joined the battle.

Zarban's defeat was considered a must, and he must have wanted a share.

But the soldiers of nations lose momentum here.

The generals of each unit were taken over one after the other, and they fell into chaos.

It was due to the work of the King's Sword, which should be called the trump card of the Principality of Zarban.

In the Principality of Zarban, there is a knight known as the "King's Sword", who shows up during a national disaster and leaves his foreign enemies.

I thought it was just a legend, but there was really a knight like that.

Needless to say, the leading knights in command of the Legion are generously protected.

The knight of black armor, who sends the swords and spears of his guardians in a magical motion and quickly leaves with a fatal wound to the knight of interest.

Given the breadth of its scope of activity and the short travel time, "The King's Sword", at the time it was called the Black Knight, but I don't think the Black Knight was alone.

However, the resistance of the Principality of Zarban was that much.

The General of Appetite (Grigor Entra) appeared on the front line and easily laid down the black knight who was so handsome.

The motivated Sinkai army finally broke into the capital of Zarban and began to kill a man called a man.

Defeating a knight did not attempt to capture him, but killed him, as did a non-fighting people, indiscriminately.

In mundane wars, knights capture and ransom, and the people enslave.

But not in this case.

He tried to kill all but one person who could claim ownership of this territory and the Green Flame Stone.

That's when the Black Knight came out again by pushing his injuries, but he was still knocked down by the General of Appetite.

It's not just the Black Knight.

General Appetite, with his monstrous fighting power, kicked Zarban's army.

A wave of a giant sword will blow ten knights away.

When I first heard it, I didn't know how everyone could seriously believe such an unlikely story.

Starting with the monarch of Zarban, all royalty was killed.

Parzam's army was already going deep into the Mount Mordos system at this time, but not on either side.

If the Principality of Zarban were to succeed in defense, it was going to pull the army as it were.

On the contrary, we had a large quantity of medicines and food available to make it a gift to the Principality of Zarban, which was wounded in the war.

I was also accompanied as part of the Medical Rescue Corps.

At least King Parzam and his men did not forget the benefits of the Principality of Zalban over the years.

Or so, I couldn't make the decision to challenge the overwhelmingly dominant invading army to fight from the front.

Instead, things were going on and on without clearly capturing the situation either.

At the time, it was Lord Buckenborg Seed, Count of Ride, who was in command of the Parzam army.

The city of Ride was the closest of the kingdoms of Parzam to the Principality of Zarban, and the Seed family was also related to the royal family and the king's trustworthy.

Uncle Ryde decided from the information coming in uninterrupted that the demise of the Principality of Zarban was no longer intolerable and went into bold action.

In fact, the Grand Duke of Zarban, Enisiliturg, had already fallen on the fierce blade of the General of Appetite, but his wife, Trienta, and his children, Swahalturg, had fallen on the city of Farom, which became Zarban's last resistance base.

The lord of Pharom was Count Huddle Zoráls.

Perhaps Master Huddle and Uncle Ryde were close.

Master Swahaltorg was only thirteen years old, but Master Huddle took the oath ahead and became a knight.

And Master Swahaltorg declared that he would take the Grand Duke, and Master Huddle approved it.

Immediately Uncle Ride was declared war on the Principality of Zarban.

A document of acceptance was issued, a duel was fought between one knight, and Parzam won.

And Grand Duke Swahaltorg and Regent Huddle surrendered to the Kingdom of Parzam.

There is, of course, no way that a General of Appetite would approve of this odd way of doing things.

But Uncle Ryde has done all he can to argue the General of Appetite.

General Appetite has the weakness of not officially declaring war, and by contrast, Uncle Ryde had a big father-in-law, but the modus operandi is unique to fire scene thieves from people's point of view.

The late arrival of Prince Parzam, or His Majesty the Predecessor, was in full support of Uncle Ride.

With the addition of representatives of countries, the debate began to present a look of confusion.

It is here that the countries adopted an attitude of half-acceptance to Parzam's claims.

Countries were afraid that only Sinkai would take all the good things.

By acknowledging Parzam's claims and selling grace, we also tried to get our share.

Parzam also did follow the war procedure, so if we admit this, we can repair the outrage that struck other countries without even declaring war.

General Appetite hated the conclusion prolonged and made significant concessions.

As a result, the precious mountains were divided among the countries that took part in the invasion.

The Grand Duke clan of Zarban has had to die without remaining.

The people of Zarban, who survived, were to abandon their country and leave.

Here Uncle Ryde was hard pressed to make demands.

As the death of Swahaltorg, who succeeded the Grand Duke, was inevitable, the Queen, Trienta, wanted to help at all costs.

General Appetite said the injured Grand Duke clan had to be destroyed.

But Master Trienta is not from the Grand Duke clan.

Finally, the General of Appetite also broke, poking odd demands and agreeing to the help of Dear Trienta.

It was the death of the Black Knight and the surrender of his sword.

The Black Knight was thought to have died defending the palace, but he was wounded and yet fell into the city of Pharom.

Under the watchful eye of the delegates, Grand Duke Swahaltorg has slashed his own throat with a poison cup, the Black Knight, or the King's Sword.

The Black Knight sword was taken away by the General of Appetite.

Representatives from all countries were relieved.

To be honest, you didn't think General Appetite would honestly separate the mountains.

I was worried that the whole pile of green flaming stone could be made Sinkai's and only sell the right to collect it.

I thought if we did poorly, we wouldn't even get the green flame stone that we were just getting in the days of the Principality of Zarban.

The countries of the Middle Plains were in a situation where they wanted more green flame stones.

It was the fear of losing access to green flaming stones that got the countries into Zarban, wasn't it?

As for the allocation of mountains, the General of Appetite was Eagle Deep.

Most likely, for Sinkai's country, there must have been no green flame stone.

There are plenty of mountains and forests in my country.

If this happens, it's so hard to see why Sinkai suddenly had to attack the Principality of Zarban.

Of course, no subpeople were discovered called werewolves or anything like that.

No, Sinkai says he discovered a werewolf colony and wiped it out.

The story of a knight heading for the quarantine is that the body shown was another sub who lived in the Mount Mordos system.

Anyway, this is how the kingdom of the Werewolf King perished.

National historians would have recorded the destruction of the Principality of Zarban by the Kingdom of Parzam in four thousand two hundred and fifty-first.

In exchange for that disgrace, we were able to help a few people.

Well, after the representatives of the nations left, the General of Appetite, who changed his blood phase, came back.

I was paying for the injuries at that time.

It was with these eyes that I saw the General of Appetite.

Lord Bardo.

Numerous horrible rumors weren't just bullshit.

That's not human.

Height, yes, just about twice your size.

Just cross the blade of the sword raised on your hips, or go beyond your back length.

I couldn't help but wonder if there was such a thing as a giant tribe still in the world.

The giant is angry with his eyes running blood and his bright white hair upside down.

Loud enough to think I could break my ear, General Appetite said.

Where did you do the sword?

That's a fake, he said.

His Royal Highness Prince Wang, Uncle Buckenborg, and Lady Huddle replied that the sword was indeed held by the Black Knight, and we did not hide it.

The General of Appetite was not convinced and told me to take an oath.

A nearby cleric called me and swore an oath to each patron saint.

Finally, General Appetite made the three of you swear:

When the sword is found, it must be delivered to the General of Appetite.

4.

Lord Bardo?

What happened?

I wonder if you feel bad.

is that per water?

Shall we go up a little out of the water and have some cold water with Azuma?

Well, how far have we talked about it?

Yeah, yeah.

That was Van Fleur.

No, no.

When the name came out of General Appetite's mouth, you doubted your ears.

No one will ever know what crawls through the earth.

Anyway, it's a famous fairy tale.

A serpent enough to wrap the mountains around him turned himself into a sword figure, swearing that he would tear into a werewolf king and become a servant.

This is the Devil's Sword.

It must be a story heard by children from all over the continent.

Did that General of Appetite seriously think such a sword existed?

And that it is in the kingdom of the Werewolf King, that is, the Principality of Zarban.

It's completely incredible, but as far as I'm concerned, I think that if I wanted that sword, I might have attacked the Principality of Zarban for it.

No, you said something funny.

The knights and the people of the kingdom will not float if they are killed and destroyed because of such delusions.

Well, that concludes with the demise of the Principality of Zarban.

Then Count Huddle Zoráls crossed the border with the surviving people and created the city of Krask.

I really wanted to tell you this story after hearing from you about Krask's development and hearing about your uncle's health.

Well, that's not the end of the story.

I want to talk to you about another terribly odd Later Tan.

And if one day you ever go to Krask again, I'd like you to tell me this story if you should.

Let the servants back off.

I'm a heartbroken bunch of people, but I can't tell you this story.

5

That's right.

Another glass of wine, please.

Oh.

Do you think there is too much food brought in?

Ha.

I'm not taking this home.

Why don't you throw the excess food on the ground?

Well, it's milky stone, even if it's local, and it's often washed in water, so it doesn't mean it's dirty.

What is left on the plate must never be left in the hands of servants.

But you have to clean the food you dumped on the ground.

The bag they're wearing on their hips contains leaves.

You wrap it up and put it in your lower back bag.

If you find out that I came to the hot springs today, those people's families will expect good food.

Ha ha.

No, no.

I won't be left behind on purpose.

If you eat it in the carpet and still stay, you just have to throw it downstairs.

So, here's the rest of the story.

The Grand Duchess Trienta stayed with Uncle Ryde after Sir Zoalus travelled with his people.

It was an appointment that Uncle Ride would be watching, and you were badly ill.

Remarriage was not allowed and you were supposed to live quietly behind the castle until you died.

However, Trienta lived with Enisiliturg's son.

When I find that out, I hear that Master Trienta was delighted as he was alive.

Uncle Ryde was baffled.

In consultation with Prince Wang, he concluded that if he was born a man, he would have to kill him, but if he were a woman, he would not have broken his vows if he were to shut up until he died.

Because the child in his belly was not born new, but possessed before the pledge.

It was the woman's child who was born in fulfillment.

Dear Trienta has returned to the ghost with a small taste of happiness.

This princess thing was kept secret, and she was to live quietly deep inside Uncle Ryde's castle.

And time flies, and the princess turns twenty.

If you looked like your mother, you would have grown up to be a very beautiful princess.

Something troubling happened.

Uncle Ryde's eldest son, Lord Tsubaiborg, said he really wanted to marry this princess.

Uncle Ryde could hardly have children, and it was Lord Tubaiborg and his brother who were finally born in the young side room where he was greeted at the age of forty.

When the princess was fifteen years old, a hair-raising ritual was performed, but since then, when she saw him, Lord Tubaiborg had been in love with the princess and was eventually in a pattern to secretly meet her.

As a matter of fact, marriage is not impossible.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to have children.

If you need to make it a side room full of shapes, that's fine, but you really want to make it a regular room.

You can't forgive this.

Even children born from other side chambers are treated as normal children, so they are the same as princess children from around them.

It seems too dishonest to do what the eldest son was supposed to have closed to stop the Grand Duke's blood, and Uncle Ryde's honor will be lost.

But to Lord Tubaiborg, who will not give up, Uncle Ryde offered the terms.

If we can increase 10,000 Gayles to a million Gayles in a year, we'll allow marriage, he said.

However, you shall not sell any of the things of the castle, including what you are wearing.

You shouldn't even borrow money from people.

Nor shall Lord Tubaiborg himself take a step out of the castle.

That's a terrible condition.

It is very impossible for Lord Tubaiborg, who has never had the ability to be a knight or to do business or anything else, to get a million Gayles on this condition.

But Lord Tubaiborg had the gift of a strategy of intimacy.

When I called in and out merchants, I gave them half of 10,000 gayles and offered to buy knowledge.

Knowledge of investment.

And based on the knowledge gained on the spot, I ordered the investment in the other half.

Of course, it's about paying a fair fee.

That investment was a success.

Then we steadily increased our money, sometimes already, sometimes at a loss.

Towards the end of the promised year, Lord Tubaiborg bought large quantities of luxury tea leaves from countries of the South.

It was a very expensive thing to sell, and if it all sold, I should have had more than a million Gayles of gold on hand.

At the end of the day, instead of investing in people's businesses, you tried to buy and sell your own products.

Sometimes the publicity was good, and the tea sold to fly.

Here Uncle Ryde went into some cowardly behavior.

They bought similar tea leaves and let them sell them cheaper than the market at the store next to where Lord Tubaiborg was letting them sell.

Lord Tubaiborg's tea no longer sells perfectly.

The day is finally upon us.

Lord Tubaiborg had more than 900,000 Gayles of money in hand, but it was hopeless to make less than 100,000 more profits.

It seems that a lot of merchants wanted to buy their own, but this was banned beforehand.

That's when the princess said it.

I'll buy the rest of the tea leaves.

The princess was offered 90,000 Gail.

So Lord Tubaiborg's holdings turned out to be a perfect million Gayles.

Uncle Ryde was outraged and said, "Who gave the princess the money?"

The princess didn't have any money or anything at all.

I've been taking care of it since I was a baby, so that's for sure.

So someone must have given the princess the money.

But a thorough examination of family relatives and servants did not disobey the words of the castle owner.

But it turns out there was a strange case.

Just a few days before that happened, it seemed like a soldier guarding near the princess's room had lost his mind for a very short time.

Uncle Ryde thought it might have stunned the guards and someone had entered the castle.

On further investigation, even a few months ago, a guarded soldier was asleep.

Uncle Ride, who wondered if the princess had any collaborators outside, asked the princess.

Then the princess admitted that she owed money to the Grand Duke of Zarban.

The last sale is void, Uncle Ryde said.

Lord Tubaiborg said:

The amount I sold to the princess is on the market and where is the problem?

You were absolutely right.

Where the princess got the money from is another matter.

The deal itself is not against the rules at all.

Uncle Ryde forbade people all over the castle to buy tea, but not just to the princess.

Because I never dreamed of needing to be forbidden, etc.

The battle was your eldest son's win.

Finally, Uncle Ryde was ready and blessed the two of them to marry.

After that I abolished Lord Tubaiborg and made him vow not to have children for the rest of his life.

The city people were informed that the wife their son got was not fit to give birth to a heir, so it was abandoned.

But even though it is only for a few days, the princess will once have been a full chamber of the heirs of Count Ryde's family.

Uncle Ride's consideration is to protect the princess at all in case anything happens to Lord Tubaiborg.

That was last year, wasn't it?

Lord Bardo also stayed in the city of Ryde.

I wonder if this rumor still flourishes a lot in that city.

They say your eldest son, who took love and abandoned his identity, is admired by the inhabitants and is starting to show off his business skills with a glimmer.

Eventually, as your second son's assistant, you must be supporting the management of your territory.

Huh?

Wonder how I even know this.

Hmm, mmm.

I'm also strange.

Probably not like this.

Someone has to know the truth.

Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it when something happens.

It's something you have to keep a secret from, but someone has to know.

I guess I happen to have been chosen by that person.

That's what I tell you about this.

Someone has to know the truth.

It was felt to me that you were the one who should know this.

Come on, it's a lot later.

Would you like to sleep?
