The Old Knight of a Frontier District

1

Bardo took Cars and Quinta to Himaya.

The knight of the decree was badly worn out, and the horse was not in a condition to run, so he left it in the fusarion.

I said Julchaga would follow me, too, but I left it.

More and more people are coming to the village, and it's time to build credibility in business.

Over the use of gifts left behind by the Farren family, there is also something close to happening.

Jurchaga's high negotiating and coordinating capacity is essential for these adjustments.

So much so that we don't know how much help we can get with intelligence gathering and transmission if we have Jurchaga, but now we can't pull him away from the village.

Quinta was given a horse that a line of earlier weddings had left behind.

Because he is a well-groomed horse, he also rides a quinta that he is still unfamiliar with without difficulty.

On the sixth day we arrived at the Tsunami of Himaya.

It seems we haven't received any rumors here yet, and it's idyllic as usual.

The next day, we arrived at Tri's Tsu.

I felt no heart or tingling.

From there we headed all the way to Rhode Van Castle.

I arrived in seven days.

2.

"Entrante.

Well done for coming. "

Arflaburn greeted me with a face like the rubble of the castle.

It should be, too, and the new servant of this castle is Dusselburne, Viscount of Lianza, or the younger brother of Arfraburn.

No, I'm not a Viscount anymore.

It is Count Rhode Van.

As promised in the First National War, Rhodvan Castle was transferred from Parzam to Goriola.

Without Lord Van Castle as his direct jurisdiction, the King decided to seal the crown.

Düsselburn was sealed by Lord Rhode Van and entrusted to the guardian of the castle.

It would also make sense to reward the Farren family for the great damage they caused in the great invasion of the Warcraft earlier.

They also had the circumstance that no one wanted to come to the end of a land like this, far from the royal capital.

In addition, it seemed sometimes that part of the territory of the former Marquis Vodores would be returned to the Vodores instead of being given here.

The restructuring of the devastated Knights of the Neighbourhood will take some time, so Düsselburn will also be responsible for the task of border security for the time being.

I hear it from Arfraburn at the wedding seat.

"I was just returning to Issacross, and an expedition came from my house slayer.

On April 21st, a Sinkai army suddenly attacked Kobushi Castle and dropped it in just one day.

In the wake of the emergency report, His Majesty the King was ordered by the neighbors to gather and summoned to the Knights of the Royal Capital.

But this didn't make it.

How dare the Sinkai army arrive in the Imperial Capital on April 26th and launch an attack.

It took only five days to lead an army through the roughly fifty minutes journey from Kobusi to the Imperial Capital.

I guess I didn't make it to the speed of the march, or the interception of the city on the way.

The Knights of the Royal Capital intercepted this outside the castle gates of the Royal Capital with insufficient posture.

At the head of the Sinkai army was a giant on a strange beast, a wave of which caused a tornado and blew up the knights of our country. "

Baldo's eyes were opened.

It is.

Such a knight.

General Appetite (Grigor Entra) It can't be anything other than Lugurgoa Gescus.

But it's also impossible to survive that wound.

What the hell is this all about?

"Neither those who told me this story, nor those who ordered the message, saw the scene directly.

But from this story, the enemy general will definitely be regarded as a General of Appetite.

The Sinkai army drove the surplus to destroy the castle gate.

We have arrived at the Imperial Palace. "

Wait, Bardo said without thinking.

Never seen it, but I hear the Imperial Capital is surrounded by huge, robust walls.

Goliola's soldiers are good at bows, and there should be plenty of arrows, because it's a land pattern with lots of excellent wood to pick from.

It's not that easy to break in.

And Sinkai's Horse Riding Legion shows unparalleled strength in the field, but shouldn't necessarily be invincible in siege warfare.

With that said, Arflaburn gave a complex look.

"I thought so, too.

What the decree says is very disjunctive.

Rumors abound that the enemy general used something like witchcraft (Norgerga).

The first blow of the arrow was blown by a strange gust, and surprisingly the enemy arrived at the castle gate.

Oddly enough, there was a commander trying to get the castle gate closed and a commander opposed to this, and the castle gate didn't seem to be completely closed.

Naturally, the guards let the arrows rain, but the enemy ignored the damage and ran through here. "

The Sinkai army headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

He also said there was a goriola knight leading it.

Something strange happened in the Imperial Palace.

One of the Kingsguard's commanders abandoned the defensive position and moved as if to welcome the enemy.

The Sinkai army took control of the Imperial Palace and captured the King.

Those who resisted were slaughtered mercilessly, and the Imperial Palace became a sea of blood.

It is even stranger from there.

The king had just surrendered to the Sinkai army lightly, or the Sinkai army was no longer an enemy, touching that the war was over.

And summoned the nobles of the royal capital to the palace.

Marquis Farren also entered.

It is an indisputable summons with a ballmark, so you cannot disobey it.

I had a use from the Imperial Palace that night.

The Marquis Farren was slaughtered and killed because of a disturbing attack on a guest at the Imperial Palace.

At this time, it was the housekeeper who was partitioning the Pharren family.

My oldest son, Arflaburn, is taking three and four men out to Doriatessa's wedding.

My second son, Düsselburn, is at Rhode Van Castle.

The decision to kill the house was quick.

Firstly, he sent the women and children to the House of Vodres, starting with the Marquis queens and Arflaburn's new wife.

In order to get them to cover up.

Equestrian put two skilled and attentive squire knights on the preaching order.

One is under Arflaburn.

The other is under Düsselburne.

All the knights who remained in the house were ordered to make their way to Rhode Van Castle with support.

And he himself turned to the palace for four of his graduates.

You probably can't go home alive if you go to the Imperial Palace.

But if the master says that he is dead and there is no one to pick up the body, it will be a disgrace to the deceased.

Until this point, it is the one conveyed by the master of the house.

When Arflaburn heard this, he broke up with the Marquises of Kariem and others, and came to Rhodvan Castle.

So I joined the Pharren knights, but they didn't have any more exciting information either.

Düsselburn added, after that.

He showed Baldo a single order.

There was a royal decree on it.

addressed to all knights above the Count.

The Goriola Empire stops fighting against the Sinkai Nation, and will look to the future kingdom as its ally.

So that the orders of General Lugurgoa Geskas, the nominee of King Sinkai, may be obtained in the same way as those of King Goriola himself.

was the contents.

It was further accompanied by instructions from the military commander.

sealed writings, which are otherwise unacceptable to the recipient.

The royal capital and the surrounding lords shall lead the soldiers to the royal capital.

This is for the invasion of Parzam.

Once the Hordes of the Northeast and East assemble at the Castle of Rhodvan, they shall enter the Kingdom of Parzam awaiting instructions from the Imperial Capital.

In doing so, Roadvan shall provide any food.

There was.

"I know this commander very well, but he's not the kind of person who gives these shitty instructions."

There is no need for Düsselburn to get a lot worse.

There are a number of suspicions from Bardo, who is an outsider.

"My (D) entrante.

Hanging a convocation on a knight above the Count means that knights belonging to that one party will also be mobilized.

Everything but a knight on a special defensive mission can be said to be eligible.

The knight alone would supposedly number more than three thousand.

When it comes to the total number of troops, it will be roughly 12,000.

The national defense is close to being round naked.

Eighty percent of them go to Orbus via the West.

How much food would you need if you were to march 10,000 people?

It's madness. "

To Arfraburn's words, Düsselburn strikes an association.

"My brother is right.

We're also going to feed 2,000 soldiers to this Rhode Van Castle, so it's a mess.

No cattle, no pigs, no vegetables, no cereals, nothing will remain.

We're going to abandon the road van we got because of you. "

All the people who had lived in Rhodvan Castle since the beginning hoped to move to Fargo with Mardos Arkeios Township Xihou.

He hated being a people of Goriola, another country.

Even so, it is impossible to take everything to cows and pigs.

So Mardos sold his livestock and farming tools to the Goriola Empire.

The payment was made by the Pharrens in debt from the King.

Though part of the walls of the castle is a great collapse, Rhode Van Castle has a number of wells with plenty of water, and the castle is widely and well built.

There are many houses and they are ready to use.

The fields are also being investigated, and pasture areas are nearby.

Fuel is also available in piles.

Plus, we even got tons of livestock, so we can put management on track as a fortified city with a strong subsistence system as soon as humans can.

The human arrangement was difficult.

The Farren family doesn't have as many knights as they need to defend here.

The Pharrens turned ten new in addition to the ten who were originally direct to Düsselburn, but that is the limit.

Turning to more knights can be an obstacle to the operation of the Farren main house.

So he gathered the third son of a knight without territory to inherit, and the squire knights who were unable to become knights because of economic problems, to secure numbers.

This was possible because a certain amount was paid annually from the Imperial Palace as the cost of maintaining the Knights.

Securing peasants and various craftsmen was more difficult.

The engineers living in the glorious imperial capital did not want to go to a castle like the end of the earth.

A peasant is something that doesn't originally try to leave his land.

Nothing could be done, and at the end of the day, the king issued a warrant for the collection, and sent the villages to turn the knights for a [briefing], gathering almost as many human beings as they could.

It is this command that the attitude is about to be investigated.

Bardo has never thought of a 2,000 soldier station.

I can't even imagine when 10,000 soldiers moved.

Even if not, Nakahara is not the same as the mountain fields on the border, making it difficult to procure food.

If you are three knights and three squires, as long as you have some money, you may be able to procure most of the food locally while also replenishing it in the village and elsewhere.

But when it comes to thirty knights and thirty squires, this can no longer be self-sufficient at all.

Even a day or two stay in a small village would be a huge burden.

How about three hundred knights and three hundred squire?

Once you eat, you will hunt down small forest beasts and consume a lot of trees by fuel.

Even a city the size of which is there, if it stays for ten days, the surplus food will be eaten up.

If you still get paid to match it, you can also replenish the lost food from the surrounding cities.

But when this is two thousand people, what happens?

It is difficult to fill their bellies, even if they gather food for the big city and the cities around it.

And the food there is eaten up, as it is replenished from other cities.

So what happens if 10,000 soldiers stay for thirty days and take away the food and fuel for the next thirty days?

That would be a serious blow to the big city and its surroundings.

I can't even feel the consideration given to these points in this instruction.

The Lord Van Castle itself is capable of accommodating two thousand troops.

But according to this decree, they will feed their hosts for a month or months.

In order to do this, you should be given a preparation period of several months or years to accumulate food and supplies.

This is a land where food cannot be imported easily.

Moreover, that is the story of the castle of Rhodvan as having performed its full functions.

At a time when I had just taken over from Parzam and finally had a vertigo capable of maintaining the castle at a minimum, this order is much more than mucha.

And I just think you're going to crush Rhode Van Castle.

The same applies to the urban groups of Theula and Seion.

It is the present empire of Goriola that makes this unusual way of doing things go through.

4.

So Bardo asked me why I was called.

Now the Goriola Empire is bending to the Sinkai Nation and trying to wage war with the Kingdom of Parzam as its enemy.

That may be a suspicious order, but it is undoubtedly an order that came out of that man, the king.

Although Baldo did not belong to any country, he was considered to be a General of the Chinese Army in Parzam and out of the Parzam side in the Union of the Three Kingdoms.

From the Farren family today, the enemy, that is.

"Di entrante.

I want to take the right path as a knight.

Now something is about to happen.

No, I'm awake.

I want you to stay here to find the right way to this confused world.

Let us see things with your eyes, determine their meaning with your heart, and let us hear the words that have come to mind.

We will find our way out of the Word. "

To Arflaburn's bold, but sincere words, Bardo nodded.

Two days after Bardo arrived at the castle of Rhodvan, a message came from the ambassador stationed in the king's capital of Parzam.

The decree gave a letter to the King's Capital and a letter to Lord Van Burt Düsselburn.

It is a letter of report from the ambassador.

There was news there that would freeze Bardo's blood.

Jules Lant, king of Parzam, was stabbed with a poisonous dagger by the First Queen, and died or was in danger.
