The Old Knight of a Frontier District

1

It was on February 18th that Bardo woke up.

I would have slept for about a month and a half.

I was put to bed in the back room of the royal palace, and Cars still took care of me, and Taranka and Quinta looked at me.

Jules Rant came to see me when I could talk decently in a week.

"Jitter.

I'm just surprised.

But don't be surprised at me.

Even when I found out about Cars and Jurchaga, I was taken for granted where the hell I would find such excellent men.

This time it will.

Tell me.

Who the hell are Taranca and Quinta?

At first, I thought you were just a squire. "

I didn't really understand the conversation, so I asked about the details.

2.

The countless bullets of light launched by Bardo from the Devil's Sword could be seen by everyone present.

The flying dragons, struck out by that light bullet, lost consciousness and crashed.

Perhaps the dragon men also lost consciousness.

Fei Long and the dragon men quickly regained consciousness.

But it was twenty or so before they clashed on the ground.

Nearly one hundred and eighty remained unable to adjust their posture and struck their bodies on the ground.

Still, it is a terrible sturdiness because there were not many flying dragons or dragon men who died at that point.

But the dragon men who fell to the ground received painful hands.

It is outside the walls that they fell.

There is a wide open space there so that the outside enemy cannot hide himself.

And the knights drove their horses out of the castle gate, lest they should turn aside.

Spear units follow on foot.

To the fallen dragon men, they have arrived.

That's when someone noticed.

He said there was something coming from the east sky.

It was a new flying dragon and a dragon man.

It's the same number that came first.

That is, the power that reaches two hundred.

The knights felt despair.

But there's something strange about the two dragon men.

About twenty horsemen who were able to return to the sky among the first dragon men who came are trying to escape the new dragon men.

Will the new dragon men go after and capture the dragon men who came first?

And when one of the new dragon men came down near the ground and stationary in the hollow in front of the veranda of the palace, he said:

"Human heads, can you hear me?

My name is Chitil Arch, daughter of Sasian chief Poporbal Popo.

These are the rebels of the Sassaeans, and my Sassaeans are not willing to do business with humans.

Fei Long and the dragon men who fell to the ground, take them home with allowances, so don't lay a hand on them. "

That's all the dragonman Chitil Arch said and tried to fly away.

I don't care if they listen or not.

But there are those who called out aloud.

It is a quinter.

Quinta jumped out onto the veranda from between her sides and spoke to the dragon man.

By the way, at this time, Bardo said he was supported by Cars and put to sleep between his sides.

"Wait!!

Chitil Arch, daughter of the Sasian chief.

Don't dragon men know people's manners, even if they solve their words!

Don't you have pride and virtue!

Chitil Arch flipped Fei Long's neck and stationary in the air near the veranda.

The dragonman's face is in front of Quinta.

"Did the dragon man say that he was not proud and honorable?"

"That's right.

We were raided by the dragon men and intercepted.

And he drew down one hundred and eighty of the two hundred hosts into the earth, and nearly stabbed the stomach.

There you come, saying that you want to take the losers.

But there will be a lot of manoeuvres to take the losers. "

"Kid.

We can tear you apart without leaving you alone and then take your people home.

Shut your mouth. "

"You must have your pledges and restrictions.

Didn't you yourself say that the Sasians are not willing to do business with humans?

If you're not willing to do something, do your best to get it done. "

The dragon man, with his horrible and faceless snake eyes, dazzled the quinta.

Quinta flickered back the dragonman without flinching.

Eventually, the dragonman said.

"What do you want?"

Here Quinta saw Taranca.

Taranka was on the veranda again.

Talanka advanced a step forward and said in a calm voice.

"I want to hear an explanation of what happened.

Why have you craved the Spirit Sword and its users?

Why did you dispute among yourselves?

Why do you not mingle with men?

And I want to hear it again.

He said it was the dragonmen who manipulated Manuno, created numerous warcraft, and caused him to attack man's kingdom.

He also said that it was the dragonman who did not manipulate people's minds under Lugurgoa Geskas, General of the Sinkai Nation.

I want to hear what you know about that.

We have the right to know how and why we did what we received. "

The Dragon Man Chitil Arch alternated between Taranca and Quinta and answered some time later.

"I need permission from the chief to answer that."

Taranka did not put in her hair between them and mouthed her next request.

"Then lead us to the chief."

The Dragon Man Chitil Arch said after some silence.

"Soon, I can't.

The chief is not feeling well right now.

Besides, we have to treat and restrain our fellow men who have been struck down by you and take them home. "

"This one's not convenient right away either.

Then give me a pick up on the day of April.

This is a maximum of ten people.

Pick me up at this place.

And take him to the chief, and bring him back here when we're done talking.

What can and cannot be spoken, then the chief may decide.

and pledge not to cause harm in the meantime. "

"Let's swear.

Your name? "

"Taranca the Fusarion"

3

"No, I'm surprised.

They would have stayed behind and not been attacked directly by them, but nonetheless.

You can tell that horrible dragon man something grand on that occasion.

I wanted to stay on the spot and ask.

Moreover, it is very demanding, very muscular, and it is as dense as I think it might have been considered.

At the end of the day, the great dragon man didn't think of it, and he said, "I swear."

No, it's a whole lot.

Does Fusarion have such a squire? "

It was Bardo who surprised me.

How dare Taranka negotiate in such a dignified manner on such occasions?

I heard from Engdall that the dragon men had an unusually high temper, but it's also brilliant that they used that high temper to draw attention.

Bardo asked what happened after that.

Quinta said he took Cars and ran to Chantillion.

And he told them that there had been peace with the dragonmen.

Taranca ran behind the royal palace, telling King Julelant the upside of things and begging him to give his life for a truce in the king's name.

In the end, it took about two days for the dragon men to recover all the wounded.

In the meantime, the emissaries under the instructions of the heavy ministers tried to negotiate several times, but the dragon men did not respond to the call at all.

No, he only got a response once.

That is the reply: "The covenant was already exchanged between the chief's daughter, Chitil Archi, and the Fusarion Taranca".

I didn't even have an island to take care of.

The battle is over, the Engdahls said they were leaving.

Julelant set up a banquet of gratitude and asked Engdall on the spot.

"Lord Engdall, thank you for your help this time.

My kingdom of Parzam carved the courage of the Zoi family strongly into its breasts.

By the way, will you not be accompanied to the dragon men on April 1st? "

"I never talk to them.

Call the Zoe family when they come back for help.

They're going to have painful eyes. "

The Engdahls returned to their place of residence, led by a messenger attached by Juleland.

When Bardo wakes up, tell him to come back soon.

This is what Jules Lant told me.

Three days later, the Council of Ministers met.

to discuss future responses to dragon men.

The day before this, Bardo performed the knightly epistle of Taranca and Quinta.

Talanka is nineteen years old.

Quinta is seventeen.

I am no longer a young man, but all of its martial arts are enough to win a border competition martial arts club.

The experience gained was also dense, such as a knight's younger brother, who spent time in the aristocratic family.

Now, Taranca, along with Bardo, was also asked to attend the Council of Ministers.

The heavy ministers also raised voices criticizing Talanka.

It is about Taranka, who, apart from those in his rightful capacity, is no more than a squire in another country, having negotiated with the Dragon Man on his own.

On the contrary, he also raised a voice of praise.

For if he did not speak up there, the Dragonman Chitil Arch would have pulled up, and could not have negotiated.

Taranca is also near Sir Bardo Lowen, though he is just a squire.

Since Bardo is an independent knight who should also be a benefactor to Parzam, and the negotiations conducted by Taranca in response to his intention, there was also the opinion that the rationale for the matter should be confined to Sir Bardo Lowen.

And anyway, first give Talanka the sincerity of what he said on that occasion, but the debate then came to that.

Taranka, who was asked to speak, spoke with dignity with her chest stretched.

"It is Taranca, the knight of the Olgazard family in Fusarion.

He was an obedient knight at the time of the Dragonman's raid, but yesterday he was told by the knight under the guidance of Sir Bard Lowen.

Thank you for your time.

What Quinta and I did on that occasion, however, was to create a connection for the next, and I know that you can proceed after that in consultation.

Okay, first of all, that's why Quinta spoke up to Dragonman Chitil Arch on that spot.

At that time, there was no Parzam at the distance where we could have a conversation with Chitil Arch.

His Majesty the King, his neighbours, and the chief minister were on the move for a deep place in the palace.

And of the knights that were in the square, he was able to speak, and leapt out of the gate of the castle.

But only then did I have the opportunity to interact with the Dragon Man Chitil Arch.

If you miss that moment, the opportunity to speak the human language and, moreover, to speak with dragon men in a guiding position may have been lost forever.

Someone had to act, and it happened to be Quinta and I who did it.

In addition, I and Quinta have taken the floor in the name of Sir Bardo Lowen, a party to this matter.

So I've heard a lot about this from Lord Lowen, and I've acted like that at his discretion. "

Here Taranka cut the words for a while and closed her eyes.

As if to tidy up your head.

But in fact, this is waiting for the meaning of the word to stain the heads of those who listen.

All right, all right, and Bardo nodded in his heart.

"Next, I would like to explain what I asked the Dragon Man Chitil Arch to do.

First I said I wanted to hear why they wanted the Devil's Sword and its users.

If you don't ask about this, you don't know what they get by getting the Devil's Sword and its users.

How does it benefit them?

If we know that, let us know what it means to the nations of the continent to give them the Devil's Sword and its users.

The next thing I know, I want to know why they fought within their peers.

I hear the dragon man who showed up at this royal palace last June named it the use of Totornostoto,.

The use of chiefs, they didn't name it.

Chitil Arch, after all, named herself the daughter of the chief.

There are probably chieftaincy and anti-chieftaincy.

What was the reason for the anti-chieftaincy's attempts to stand out and interfere in the human world until it broke its old pledges and long-standing habits?

There's the key to uncovering the invisible crisis surrounding the current continent. "

Taranka hung up again before continuing the conversation with a tense voice.

"The next thing I know, I want to know why they don't work with humans.

Gerkast's testimony showed that the Dragon Man was pursued outside the Great Barrier by an ancient great king and made a pledge not to lay a hand on man.

But there must still be some reason why they don't want to break that pledge if they want to keep keeping it.

I thought if I knew, I'd see a way to protect myself from them.

And I said.

He wants to know what the role played by the Dragon Man behind the First and Second Nations Wars is.

That's the way I put it because I didn't know to what extent it was an issue involving the whole dragon man about this.

But behind that war, I'm pretty sure the dragon men are involved in something.

It seems to me that an inexplicable part of that war was the movement of the dragon men.

I thought knowing that was important for peace on the continent.

Finally. "

Taranca continued her words with a drink of courtesy.

"I said on April 1st, to come and pick me up.

He also said there are up to ten people going from here.

With all that time, after much consultation, we thought we could decide who would take what policy.

As mentioned above, I mentioned the matters that I would like to ask you as soon as possible and let you guarantee me the safety of coming to pick you up and deliver you and in the meantime.

That's what I needed to do on that spot.

Because from the Dragon Man Chitil Arch, he could not have known what type of attack had dragged down one hundred and eighty of his attacking squads to the ground, nor could he have known that its user, Sir Bardo Lowen, was unconscious, a situation in which he should have suspected that this one had an unknown means of attack.

And now a hundred and eighty companions had fallen upon the earth, and the chief of the knights was rushing toward them.

It was a state of hostage-taking, so to speak, and it was the only unique opportunity to negotiate in its favor.

Now, the breakdown of those ten delegates is something you should all decide on. "

Talanka uttered his last words, looking around at the heavy ministers who lived side by side.

"I know that some of those ten will surely include my master, Sir Bardo Lowen,"

The floor was noisy.

4.

"Silly!

What are you thinking?

They want to use the Devil's Sword and the Devil's Sword.

It's a summer bug flying into the fire. "

"Don't you mean to manipulate people's minds?

Try to manipulate Lord Lowen as you wish.

What will happen!

"When the dragon men strike again, how can we fight without Sir Lowen!

As the anger of the heavy ministers flew, Bardo was engulfed with emotion.

I see.

Is that what happened?

So I get it.

Bardo was wondering, too.

Terrible dragon men, who are the righteousness of destruction.

In response to Chitil Arch, the chief's daughter, who has led two hundred dragon men, Quinta said, why could Talanka say things?

I'm not talking about things.

Did they cross each other in grandeur so much as equivalence?

Were they sued for demands and their legitimacy, as if they had thought in advance?

I was thinking, beforehand.

That was the moment Quinta and Taranca were waiting for.

Bardo told me the purpose of the journey.

We met Yemite together, and we met Engdal.

I learned that Bardo wanted to know the mystery of the Warcraft, the secrets of the Spirits, the identity of what he was after Bardo and the Spirit Sword at all costs.

Both Taranca and Quinta wished for Baldo's wish.

It is the dragon men who hold the secret key.

The dragon men say they will attack the royal palace in Parzam.

It's a good time, these young men thought.

He said it was a thousand opportunities to directly question the dragon man and learn the answer to the mystery.

So when everyone in Parzam was just thinking about how to beat the dragon men.

These young men were probably thinking about how to pave the way for negotiations with the dragon men, and all that.

So at that time, oh and quickly, oh and accurately, I was able to relate to the daughter of the Dragonman's chief.

Baldo's wish as my wish.

These young men tried to cut and pave the way.

No.

I still do.

Bardo stared at Taranca, who would strain his chest, let his eyes shine, and take every curse.

With all his vanity, this young man is fighting for me.

To make my wish come true.

So that I can meet someone who asks what I wanted to ask.

Pushed into the deep room of a huge palace of great nations.

Surrounded by luxurious and varied décor and conditioning.

In front of a group of highly qualified and experienced heavy ministers.

Without a single flinch.

Keep your chest open that I'll try to answer any questions.

You're fighting for me.

Bardo felt the back of his chest get hot.

5

When I spit out where I think, the heavy ministers calmed down, too.

That's how we discussed it, and it wasn't such a bad idea that Baldo Lowen would meet the dragon sheikh.

Whichever one gains the Devil's Sword, the Dragon Men are overwhelmingly dominant over man.

Then the question is how much you can go over there and see and hear.

No one is more qualified for that than Baldo.

Besides, I've already been promised.

And then there's the question of who goes.

In this regard, Talanka gave the Parzam's heavy ministers the right to decide.

But in conclusion, they abandoned it.

I mean, I don't let people out of Parzam.

Parzam is not involved in this.

It is Sir Bard Lowen of Fusarion and his followers who go to see the Dragonman's chief.

That's settled.

It was a terribly unexpected, clapping conclusion for Bardo.

It may be said that there are no more important issues.

Yet why don't the Parzam's heavy ministers try to get involved?

It was thought that a considerable number of people would be sent to the delegates on this negotiating platform to take the lead.

But they don't send their representatives in the first place, they entrust negotiations to the Balds.

It wasn't surprising.

That's why Jules Rant told me after the meeting.

"As a matter of fact, I had finished my conversation while I was asleep.

It is the conclusion of the ministers that no representative will be sent from the Kingdom of Parzam on this matter.

At first I was surprised and disagreed.

I thought Dragon Man was a big problem for this country.

their size, their power, their place, their intentions, their strategy.

I can't make peace in this country without looking into those things.

Besides, it's like suddenly getting beat up.

If you don't put on quite a stigma, you won't have the face of the country.

That's what I thought.

But the heavy ministers were not at all enthusiastic.

That's for a reason.

Now we can say that this country is on its way up.

No, it's a big part of it, too.

He won the war of nations twice and suppressed the rebellion between Fargo and Ejite.

Commercial exchanges with the Goriola Empire have also flourished, with an explosive increase in purchases from countries in the southern region.

The Troika Trade Alliance is now home to as many as eight new Member States.

Many countries and cities want to get under Parzam's asylum.

The States of Teula and Seion have also sought defence and trade agreements separate from the Tripartite Trade Alliance, in a very favourable way for our country, given the experience ravaged by Goriola.

There are so many rights flying by.

The heavy ministers want to concentrate on you.

Among the heavy ministers, there is competition for how much power they develop.

Those who have now fallen behind will remain behind in the future.

If I were forced to order, I could have sent one of the heavy ministers under my umbrella.

But whoever is struck by a compromise with the dragon men, he shall lag behind in a dispute of rights.

I mean, I'm going to let down my own forces.

Also, it became clear that they had the power to manipulate people's minds.

Nobody wants to go.

Once you go, you will be seen for life with the eyes of a person who may have been manipulated by a dragon man.

You can't feel a dragon man just taking such a risk.

Anyway, it's the ones who live outside the Great Barrier.

You can't fight, and if you fight and win, you don't have the territory to take it away.

If anyone can pick up chestnuts in the fire, I want to put them all over you and decide that there were no more dragon men.

Rather, it is the idea of the heavy ministers that Chitil Arch, the daughter of the Dragon Sasian clan chief, need have no more relationship with humans than he is unwilling to do with them.

I didn't think that would happen, but I thought about it and changed my mind.

Bringing out a national representative means that the report that that representative brings home will also become widely known.

But I think it's better not to spread the secrets of those dragon men.

I think something terrible is about to come out of it.

So, twitch.

When you get back, just report it to me.

Besides, duh.

I said right earlier, but this is a great opportunity.

Parzam is a big country, but many are poor.

Even in this king's capital, the lives of the lower residents are terrible.

And every village in the kingdom is poor where it is poor.

There are few parents who don't eat too much food and sell their children to survive the winter.

You have to be rich.

For the poor to become richer, the whole country must first become richer.

And business needs to flourish and things need to move more vigorously.

Now is a great time.

Heh, heh, heh.

Let me tell you something.

It was the tea trade that made it one of the calls for a deal with the South.

Knowing the flavour of southern branded tea, the Horsemen became interested in trade.

Nevertheless, is it the Land of the Dragon Man?

Oh, boy.

Unless you're tied to a chair like this, it's where I want to go.

What kind of place is it?

Aren't you really excited?

Shit.

Looking forward to the report.

So be sure to come home safe. "

Oh, my God.

The heavy ministers did not at all welcome the fact that Talanka paved the way for negotiations with the dragon men.

All I see is something extra to do.

Chitil Arch, the chief's daughter, said she had no intention of dealing with humans, and she thought that was it.

Whether or not, I'm only thinking about it.

Bardo felt his stomach boil for the first time in the heavy ministers' rugged "Cancer".

What can be believed, such as the words of the dragonman?

If their convenience changes, countries will soon be nailed by them.

Besides, don't you mind the movement behind them?

It doesn't bother me.

Now is not the time.

Whatever danger awaits us tomorrow, we now have a right in front of us.

It is for you, for your home, for your country, to grasp every possible amount of ambition.

Leaving the good in front of you, I can't live today.

That's what they think.

Okay, then.

Okay, then.

Is it true that all the arguments that Talanka put up with desperate thoughts were hard work?

Are you saying it was a farce?

No.

No, no, no.

That's not true.

That was an incident in which Furuki gave way to the young branch.

Parzam is an old country.

Lose the temper of progress, and the idea of guardianship holds the heavy ministers back.

Their involvement with the dragon men is unprofitable.

Parzam is a dragon man who doesn't want to be involved as much as possible.

Said they saw that horror in front of them, but the presence of dragonmen in their minds does not appear to be a threat.

I say a lot in my mouth, but I don't feel threatened from the bottom of my heart.

Their minds will not accept what has never been common sense, such as dragon men.

Parzam has been and will continue to be.

Yes, they think.

How to win the advantage in it.

That's the only problem.

In contrast, Fusarion is a new country.

Although it is not yet ready for size as a country, it may be said that it is a country by will.

It is full of energy to seek and discern the unknown and the unbelievable.

It is about to develop and expand outside.

Its youthful wood-like growth power even tries to stretch its branches beyond the great barrier.

This time, the young vitality of the Fusarion overwhelmed the apathy of the old Parzam.

Right now.

When the daughter of the dragonman's chief appeared, wasn't it only the young Quinta and Taranca who could say things toward her face?

People like the heavy towns of this country who are said to be the need for a diplomatic compromise were just fleeing and fearing.

Only Talanka and Quinta could cross with Chitil Arch in a majestic manner.

Even the Council of Ministers was able to preach the meaning of the act with dignity.

In the end, the heavy ministers were pushed off by it.

Taranka and Quinta fought the political monsters of a great power named Parzam, winning them brilliantly.

If we think about this from another side, what happens?

Bardo's face brings an invincible grin.

Now Fusarion is just a tiny little being.

Eventually, however, it becomes a major force on the border.

And when Fusarion and Parzam confront each other, Parzam will never have an advantage over Fusarion.

Even in beast-to-beast prestige, once you've wrapped your tail around them, you'll never get your head up against them again.

Whatever the reason for this, the Parzam ministers wrapped their tails around Taranca and Quinta.

It is to those two young men.

When Taranka eventually becomes prime minister and Quinta becomes chief knights, who the hell in Parzam can beat him?

Besides, let's think about things.

Not being represented out of Parzam means not being disturbed.

It means that the dialogue with the dragon men can proceed as Bardo thinks.

Isn't that a lot?

Heh.

Tea.

Has the trade in tea become a call for trade revitalisation?

Princess Shernelia wasn't just a queen stuck in the rear palace after all.

Well.

What place is the Dragonman's dwelling?

It is said to be outside the Great Barrier.

In other words, Baldo can be seen outside the Great Barrier.

It is the outside of the world that Bardo knows.

What kind of world can we see?

6.

Bardo didn't waste his time until April 1st.

He recruited migrants to the Fusarion while consulting senior priest Bari Toad.

The first thing I wanted was a papermaker and an inkmaker.

I also need wooden carvings and finger craftsmen.

I also want a bricklayer.

We also need technicians who can refine iron and various metals.

The carpenter is still not enough.

Don't forget the glassmaker either.

At any rate, more and more mountains of iron, copper, tin, and quartz are being found.

But I don't have the technology to use it.

Bari Toad was very pleased to organize as many as forty immigrants around those from the orphanage.

Various types of equipment were also bought in.

Baldo still kept most of the compensation he received from the king in the royal palace, so the funds were luxurious.

Fifteen carriages were arranged.

Though I decided to put on a quinta, I really don't have enough escorts.

Such a luxurious bunch is naturally easily noticed by the bandits.

I wish I could hire a mercenary, but if I hire a bad escort, I'll turn him into a sending wolf.

It was Chantillion who solved this problem.

What a shantillion lent me a nearby knight, Nutz Kajnell, and five obedient knights in the name of training.

Bardo was thrilled.

Later, I found out that the knight nut had been secretly fathered by Chantillion, and my gratitude would be halved.

Secret fate is to hear from the people of the Knight Quinta and Fusarion about the unknown traces of Sir Bardo Lowen.

Bardo, of course, also met Lady Shernelia and Prince Baldrant.

I've never seen a toddler so noble and cute.

Baldo's eyes were sluggishly down.

Quinta was badly disappointed when she found out she couldn't get onto the Dragonman's home base.

But I followed Bardo's life.

Even as Baldo, he only wanted to avoid losing both Taranca and Quinta because he was also anxious to get into the Dragonman's home base and see if he could really make it home safely.

Sending out the immigrants on March 32, Bardo waited for April 1.
