The Old Knight of a Frontier District

3

Bardo spoke to the knight Cheat Arno.

Speaking of valleys to the north of Obas, there is a "cliff of Drencita."

Knight Cheat Arno, with a slight face,

"Yes.

The cliffs of Drencita are, indeed, over there.

In Padai Valley.

But I can't.

There's no way I can get off that cliff with a horse. "

I replied.

When the kingdom of Parzam was once a small country, there was a young knight named Drencita.

A country called Drufon, which was in the north, attacked and the country had a crisis of survival.

Drenchta led his fellow knights twenty horsemen into a surprise attack on the enemy's master in a place that seemed unattainable.

And they took away the enemy generals, and defeated the army, and saved their land.

That was not the kind of slope that anyone could run down with a horse, but became known as the "Cliff of Drencita".

Bardo was told this story by that hardware official, Uncle Massimosambo, on his way from Rhodvan Castle to Parzam.

I was just bored with history stories and all, but I was excited to hear about this war book.

And I and Uetan couldn't even get down, and the age made my nose rough.

That happened, so he took an impressive look around that this was the cliff of Drencita on his way from Parzam to Goriola with Princess Mallea's wedding carriage.

I mean, Bardo knows the place.

I just saw it once, but the Knight of the Border is a solid memory of the natural terrain that I just saw once.

If that's the place, it's as ordered.

Surely no one thinks about running down a place like that with a horse.

Walking down just because is difficult unless you use it in a line, and if you do that, they'll just snipe you.

That's an ideal place to ambush.

When Baldo told him this story, he glanced at the knight Cheat Arno.

The eyes said, "You don't think we can get off that cliff."

Knight cheat Arno screamed, hiccup, small.

Bardo turned to Killy and asked.

If you are a knight with excellent muscle strength and balance, you may be able to withstand that stormy attack as much as it depends on the terrain.

But isn't it hard to stay on a horse?

He also said, "What about the attack that shoots a light bullet and the attack that lets the sword put light together?"

"is, entrante.

The horse must descend at a point where the slope has become loose.

You mean a light bullet is an attack that makes that air look like a chunk of rock.

I think you should take a good look at that one.

It features in the preliminary motion.

The way you wave your sword, you can also predict the direction in which you fly, more or less.

Because it only seems to fly straight.

The biggest problem is the attack that comes wielding the sword itself.

I've heard before that it brings light together, but we don't see it.

It's just that the sword itself is visible.

Trouble is, even if I put my sword on it, it hit the attack, but I found out about that one before this.

This much around the sword. "

and with both hands about shoulder-width apart, Killy continued the conversation.

"Something invisible is wrapping it up.

So I hope you don't think of that as a sword.

You just have to think of it as Marutai.

It shouldn't be impossible to do that either.

But he's too fast, and his radius of attack is huge.

The reaction rate is also extraordinary.

Even as a swordsman, I must say I have super first-rate arms.

At the distance this attack arrives, it is difficult to engage that attack.

No.

I won't let you, you should think.

It proved in an earlier battle that if you take that one, you won't have any shields or armor.

Still, if it takes a few people at the same time, someone's sword will be able to slash and tear him apart.

Because it was clear in the battle ahead that if the sword was delivered, it could hurt and kill. "

Here's what Killy's saying.

A few hand-worked people strike at the same time.

Some die.

But some swords will arrive.

All right.

Bardo turned his belly, too.

And I turned to all of them and told them about the operation.

The majority of the legions head to Fort Corpos.

Go slow.

And attack carefully.

However, do not cause as much damage as possible to the attacking side or to the attacked side.

Attack for ten days and pull up to the country.

Only me and twenty knights head to the cliffs of Dolenceta.

Then he jumps out in front of the General of Appetite, signs up for a duel by name.

If he gets a duel, fine.

Even if you don't take it, run down the cliff and fight for one of them.

If we win his neck, we win.

However, all of these twenty will die because those who survive will also be killed by Sinkai's generals.

The knights tied the knot strong and nodded.

Subsequent discussions led to the selection of the Assault Squad and General Wangogue was to lead the army in the Fort Corpos raid.

If he was dissatisfied.

Strangely enough, there were eighteen selected by the partition of Arflaburn.

Bardo said this to Arflaburn.

Choose twenty men who will head with me to the cliffs of Drencita.

But one of them is Cars Lowen.

So I thought I'd pick nineteen, but Arflaburn picked eighteen.

The twentiest is an approximate number, and it doesn't mean that it has to be right.

During the consultation, Cars said nothing.

What does this man have in mind for another confrontation with his hate enemies?

Bardo had Quinta present as an obedient, but his eyes carrying a change of tea were red and swollen.

I was impressed by the meeting.

What readiness are these knights in this place?

To the point that he felt it and yet was impressed by it, this young man knew the harshness of reality and understood the height of the will of the knights gathered here.

Bardo thought it was a big deal.

4.

I had some problems.

First of all, how do you know where they are?

Upon learning of this presence in advance, General Appetite will attempt to destroy this one by pointing at his subordinate generals.

We need to know where the enemy army is so that we don't feel this presence, and we need to know where the General of Appetite is.

I can't get close with a horse.

We can't keep waiting on the cliffs of Drencita for five or ten days, so we have to explore enemy march speeds and climb the cliffs at the right time.

This is hard.

As long as we have Jurchaga, this problem will be solved.

Secondly, to whom do we entrust Jana's bracelet?

The operation will be a success if you take out General Appetite brilliantly, but after that, the Baldos will be slaughtered by the Sinkai army.

It's no good getting Jana's bracelet taken away by the Sinkai army.

Someone must be entrusted with it.

It is also desirable that the person has the agility to escape in the unlikely event of being chased by the Sinkai army.

This problem will be solved if there is a Jurchaga.

Why don't you stick it in the quinta and give it to Jurchaga?

Jurchaga would also be able to give a bracelet to anyone who needs it to see how the countries are doing.

Third, I don't have any money.

A thousand and eight hundred men joined the knights and infantry, but not enough food to march on.

Overwhelmingly not enough.

It is more hopelessly inadequate than not taking the means to plunder in Mithra.

The stockpile at Rhode Van Castle has almost eaten up.

Livestock, vegetables and cereals, all that remains is the property of the inhabitants.

If you root for it, you get a good amount of food.

But that's the same as telling the residents to die.

If we take everything away, they can't live.

With the promise of giving livestock and farmland, they came to the end of this land.

Can you take it away from me?

But there's nothing more to it than to do it without other means.

I wish I could give you money and buy it, but I don't have it.

The provincial vault of the House of Fafferen was also completely emptied about the marriage of Doriatessa and about the castle of Rhodovan.

There will be no money until the next tax is delivered in other territories.

The generals also ran out of money on the road so far.

Bardo has also spent the money in his hand for Fusarion.

I keep a lot of money at the Royal Palace in Parzam, but I have no way or time to pick it up right now.

I have already bought food from the residents with a word of mouth, that is, a promise to pay ahead.

I can't do this any more.

When I was worried about what to do, one messenger visited Baldo.

The envoy offered a jewelry box, a bag of gold coins and a letter.

The letter came from the Marquise of Kariem.

The Marquise of Kariem had surrendered herself to the territory of relatives in the east, avoiding the danger of returning to the royal capital.

When Arfraburn's brother, who was travelling east to procure food, asked for help by visiting his relatives, the Marquise of Kariem learned about the situation of the Balds.

This is what the letter said.

I wouldn't be so happy if this jewel and some gold coins could help you.

Ferian Terne Carriem, the congregation's representative who admires the old knights of the border. "

Bardo cheered.

The next moment, I was struck by a chill.

Can I really use this?

Am I not going to do something irrevocable?

No, I don't mind!

If I have to, I'll die a lot.

Instead, I'm dead when this operation succeeds, so there's nothing wrong with that.

When Bardo wrote a thank-you letter and gave it to the messenger, he gave the gold coins and jewels to Arflaburn.

"Are you a magician?

and to the surprise arfraburn, for some reason I was unwilling to tell him where the gold came from.

I had Linz deliver the letter.

Uncle Linz has 600,000 Gayles in his custody.

This is the rest of the money I received as a thank you for protecting me from the assassins of the Coendella family.

Have it delivered with exactly the same food.

That mischievous old count will surely burst into laughter when he sees his delivery destination become "during the Goriola army attacking Fort Corpos".

June 42.

Finally, tomorrow is the night of departure.

In the courtyard of the castle, in the arena, a general is eating.

As soon as gold coins were available, large quantities of livestock were bought, dismantled and treated for preservation.

The rest of it was swayed by the general tonight.

I also dispensed plenty of liquor.

We're having a lot of fun tonight because we're not allowed to drink during the march.

It's roughly a thousand and eight hundred generals, everywhere.

"My Lord Marshal of the Union.

Would you like to enjoy this meat? "

and received the plates offered by the graduate.

I have never seen an obedient, but when only one soldier after another arrives, I can't remember his face.

From what I've seen, it's a pig-like baking color.

The beef is red in roasted colour, as is the gravy that flows out.

The pigs are white in the baked colour and the gravy is transparent.

But would there have been such a part of the pig?

Circular thinly sliced meat, as thick as a person's wrist.

There's a pretty big bone in the middle of it.

Anyway, I tried it.

Ooh!

The saltiness and the oil smudged out of the meat are really good.

It's toothy meat.

Mm-hmm.

As I was stirring up, my mouth was flooded with indescribable deep gravy, and the aromatic aroma flooded my nostrils.

Strange.

When I grabbed the first bite and the impression of the meat had changed as if.

The meat I thought was boneless actually had an extremely delicate flavour.

Nevertheless, what meat is this?

It may be deliberately painstakingly sliced like this.

"Enjoy this soup if you like"

and the same graduate offered a

Smells good.

I rinsed all the time and, uh, breathed.

Then there was a strange feeling that the back of his nose was soaked.

Taste the other drink slowly in your mouth.

Ooh, ooh!

What depth.

What the hell.

This is amazing soup.

It's a transparent soup that doesn't seem to have such a strong flavour, but it has the strength to beat anything.

Is it like a woman who looks sweet but has a strong core?

I wondered what ingredients would taste like this when I added them, and I saw a bowl with shiitake soup.

but I don't know.

"This is cow-tailed soup."

I was told, I see.

But I didn't know a cow's tail would be such a good soup.

Speaking of which, the thinly sliced meat just now was also a cow's tail.

"Cow tails are a secret treat for the lowest civilian who dismantle cows but can't eat meat.

At first glance, it looks like an inferior ingredient, but its soup is rich and powerful, and if carefully excluded from the emergent oils and acne, it will have a noble flavour that can also be served at the Royal Palace table.

Kamler said. "

I see, I was listening with a nod, but the way the graduate talked and even his voice changed in the last word.

I was surprised to see the graduate's face again.

It was Jurchaga.

"Ya"

And I saw a smile that raised my right hand gently, and I almost cried unconsciously.

I've been crying lately because of my age.

Surprisingly, Jurchaga has been listening to the situation in Parzam.

How dare Jurchaga wrap up the business talks with Krask and Linz, crossing Auva from there and stretching his legs further to Mithra before coming to Rhodvan Castle.

Now in the royal palace of Parzam, we have information that Goliola is going down to the military gates of the Sinkai army and about to attack Parzam together, but we have not been able to do anything.

At best, it is about holding Ambassador Goriola and interrogating him.

But the ambassador knows nothing so poor.

Jules Rant's medical condition is still bad, but the treatment is playing its part and he says it is heading towards comfort.

The poisonous dagger of the First Queen increased the effect more than I thought.

Lacking a powerful leader named Jules Rant, Parzam is as powerful as the giants connected to the chains, unable to move with great power.

The fact that the First Lady was the daughter of the Argorides was a major blow.

Chantillion, a middle-armed general, had to be cautious at home by returning to his post.

Marquis Baucrus, the father of the First Queen, resigned from the position of head of the royal palace administration, still cautious.

Apparently, the Duke of Argoride has lost his say and is in close proximity to house arrest within the Royal Palace.

He says there's been a power dispute between the Argolides and the anti-Argolides, and nothing can proceed properly.

Until that happens, Seidelmont, the general who came in from the outside, must be having a terrible time, Bardo thought.

After obtaining this information, Jurchaga came to Roadvan Castle.

And he acted like he was cooking salt and soup from the tail of a camouflaged cow.

Nevertheless, at the time Jurchaga left Fusarion, he could not have imagined that Bardo was supposed to lead the Knights of Goriola to challenge the General of Appetite.

Nor should he have known that the Goriola army, manipulated by the General of Appetite, was planning to attack Parzam.

Yet Jurchaga's sense of smell, which merged into Baldo after examining the information on Parzam's side, is so sharp that it may be called an anomaly.

Also, there shouldn't be anyone in Rhode Van Castle right now who knows Jurchaga or anything, but I wonder how he got into the kitchen and made me cook.

"Were you mixed up in this place, Jurchaga?

Don't leave your sister in danger. "

Arflaburn approached me, saying.

Oh, well, Bardo thought.

Jurchaga is Arfraburn's brother-in-law.

Of course, I got Arflaburn to talk to me and go in the kitchen.

The three of them talked for a while.

Bardo said what he had been thinking for a while.

I see. A knight is inherently an independent step.

Even though it is the king's command, if they cannot accept it, they may differ, or turn their backs and take the path of their own choosing.

That's not true in real life, though.

Everyone lives in a mess.

But the Knights of Goriola who came here are brilliant.

It comes as no surprise that there are so many knights trying to martyr in an old chivalry nowadays.

Even though it's a dying operation, I can't feel the fear or lingering, he said.

Arflaburn punctuated his eyes.

"I wonder what you're talking about.

That's what you're making me do.

When you come to this castle and see what you look like and breathe in the wind that blows from you, wonders calm your mind and your belly rests.

They realize what they were looking for was here.

We all feel with our intuition as samurai that there is nothing to fear with you.

In the first place, all the facial rashes I've gathered this time are twists that aren't a glimmer.

The weak didn't even come near the castle.

The magnificents were drawn to thy martial arts, and those who were not were blown away. "

Baldo had no choice but to laugh bitterly at this fat one.

but no more words overlapped.

Bardo did not dwell on Arflaburn for setting up an operation that presupposed death.

Nor did Arflaburn frighten Baldo that he was sorry for the battle he had to die for.

We were comfortable with each other.

There is a silent, knight-to-knight dialogue there.

Bardo remembered the question he had forgotten.

Arflaburn is a question of when and how she thought through Doriatesa and was willing to marry Princess Mallea.

Not much to ask in person, but we're going to die anyway.

Thought, to Arflaburn,

Why did you ask Princess Mallea to marry you?

I asked.

Arflaburn replied with a bitter laugh.

"Sometimes I joined the reinforcements to Parzam myself, actually wanting to have a good talk with Doriatessa again.

At that point, I thought Lord Baldo would get a title or territory in Parzam.

Naturally, when Jurchaga settles down in Parzam, too.

That can mean marriage at last.

Above all, I couldn't bear to leave Jurchaga and Doriatessa alone in the wild in distant Parzam.

But when I went to Parzam and saw the two of us, my feelings squished.

There was no room for those two to get in at all.

Oh, Doriatessa is already married to Jurchaga in her heart.

I didn't even think so.

I was completely discouraged.

The gentle Maru area seemed to have noticed my heartbreak.

He was kind to me. "

In short, it seems to have been relieved of its kindness.

I see.

Someone started singing songs.

Pilgrim Knight.

Soon a large crowd began to calm down.

I wonder how so many knights know this song.

Stop thinking about it and so on, and Bardo sang along.

By the time I sang the third lyrics, everyone stopped eating and drinking, just singing and listening.

A knight.

A knight.

Pilgrim knight.

The Medal of Merit is carved.

In the hearts of people.

On the white wing of the Maiden of War.

Now grace is all over the ground.

All pain is healed.

In the miraculous morning of God.

The last promise will be fulfilled.

Praise you, Padarien!

Praise you, Padarien!

Old wands blow young buds.

The brave men who can die will rise.

The throne of God is open, or O.D. En Roe.

The throne of God is open, or O.D. En Roe.

Two moons overlooked the Roadvan Castle on the night when the knights sang.

6.

The following July 1st.

As instructed by the commander, a separate unit departed from Rhode Van Castle.

There was Jog Ward over some dunes.

Colin Cruiser is with us.

"Twitch.

It's late. "

They said, and for some reason, reflexively, I'm sorry, I apologized.

Jog and Colin joined the queue as a matter of course.

And closer to Arfraburn,

"Hey, Kinkira.

You coward. "

and blamed him with his teeth out.

I knew immediately what Baldo was talking about.

In welcoming his wife from the Duke of Argoride family, Arflaburn avoided passing Gainelia, who was in alliance, choosing the path via Seion, Tula.

That's the thing.

In other words, Jog accuses you of plundering the bride if you go through here, but you're a coward if you go out of my reach.

I knew this man was weird.

Arflaburn laughed at Jog's statement with his nose and threw teasing words.

Jog devoured it, and the two continued to say things that didn't benefit (want to) either.

Killy Halifalus also pulled a horse over there to join the conversation.

Being able to pick a time and a place to wait means Jog knew about this appointment.

Who let you know?

Four men from the Farren family were in charge of contacting Gainelia and buying food and other items.

I must have let you know then.

Naturally, by the life of Arfraburn.

These two may be good friends on the road.

Arfraburn was convinced that he would rush into battle if he were informed.

Jog was the twentieth brave man.

The Baldos are about to put up a bet with no chance of winning.

but its heart was as clear as the sky teasing.
