The feud between the Nagras kingdom and the Emmenian empire is deep-rooted.
The beginning of the matter is the destruction of a kingdom that once had vast territory in the land of Causas. Bylaws The royal family of the Caucasus, which died two hundred years ago, fled to the land of Armenia, and the empire was founded. It was Nagras, a city-state at the time, that took advantage of the turmoil of the destruction of the Kingdom of Caucasus and expanded its power.
The land in the southeastern kingdom of Nagras was originally a territory of the Kingdom of Causs. Naturally, the Emperor, who claims to be the successor of the Kingdom of Causs, is equivalent to the kingdom of Nagras occupying its territory illegally.
On the other hand, in the case of the Nagras kingdom, the claim of the Emmenian Empire is quite controversial. Nagras, a city-state at the time of the contraction, was dispatched by local people during the turmoil of the collapse of the Caucasus kingdom, and set up an army. The empire, which did not even maintain the security of the land, was ridiculous, claiming rights later.
The Armenian Empire insists that he is the successor of the Kingdom of the Caucasus in the first place, and the Kingdom of Nagras does not acknowledge it. It is true that the blood of the daughter of the King of Kings, the King of Kings, is flowing into the Armenian Empire, but that is to say, that of the King of Nagras, the blood of the princess, who once came from the King of Kings, flows.
Naturally, the claims of the Kingdom of Nagras and the Armenian Empire clash head-on. Diplomatic negotiations have been so parting, decades of trying to settle by force. The two who gained several times began to regard each other as enemies of each other.
As has been the case between military clashes and tranquility, a re-collision is thought to be inevitable, and the kingdom of Nagras has kept an eye on the Imperial Army, which has been active for several years. . Rumors of the war began to flow frequently as the tension on the border increased, so the king's thoughts of hearing the war declaration from the empire were not a word, but a word at last.
Invasion The Imperial Army, which borders shortly after declaring war, sets up on a wasteland in the southeast of the kingdom and waits for it. Surprisingly, there is little land open enough for the armies to collide with each other, and even less if the land is far from the inhabitants.
It is natural for the Royal Army to avoid towns and villages becoming battlefields and to be devastated, and even to the empire claiming that it is its territory, it is forbidden to work. The battlefield was confined to a very limited area as a result of a strange agreement between the two parties.
Two days late for the Imperial Army. The Royal Army, which has formed a hurry, arrives on the battlefield. For the Imperial Army 3,000, the Royal Army 2,000,800. Logistics Although the Empire is somewhat dominant in troop strength, the expeditionary forces have a long supply line, and in view of this, a kingdom whose battlefield is within its territory would be advantageous.
He determined that the upper ranks of the Royal Army were strong. The reserve army will first guess, and the full-fledged battle will take place after the recruitment of militia and mercenaries is completed. The Imperial army also consists of armed forces, not militia or mercenaries. If called, it will of course be heard in the kingdom and detect movement before declaring war. In order to control the pioneer, the empire was considered to consist of only standing army in the first match.
Mizuki For this reason, a full-fledged battle is coming after the next one, and this battle was looking out for the opponent, watching the battle to strengthen each other and the upper ranks of the Royal Army. But that was a sweet outlook, the kingdom is engraved as a painful lesson.
A few days after the sudden declaration of war and the ensuing invasion of the Royal Army, the people of the impenetrable Royal City were informed of the defeat of the Royal Army.
It was around 10 o'clock, when the sun had not yet risen, as the two sides clashed as shown in the battlefield wilderness.
Ambush makes no sense in the open wilderness. Pioneer Both sides deployed their troops to the full battlefield and contacted each other from the front.
Since they are each other's first match, they are looking for opponents. Each unit did not take any bold action, and the battle was fought on Theory Street, where the injured troops on the front line were pushed back and alternative reserves were put in place.
The situation suddenly changed at around 14:00, four hours after the start of the war. The group suddenly cut into the battlefield when the casualties exceeded one hundred and the tensions that had wrapped the soldiers at the beginning of the war began to relax with fatigue.
An armed group of unfamiliar beasts raised the Imperial military flag and surprised the confused kingdom's headquarters, unable to swallow the situation. The Royal Army, which had been fighting for four hours, had no power to bounce it.
The overrun Honjin was raised and the Imperial Army, which went on a full offensive, was overwhelmed and the Royal Army was overwhelmed. When the commanding general was defeated, the chain of command collapsed, and there was no systematic resistance except for some units.
The British soldiers who attempted to leave the battlefield were pursued by the Imperial Army's main forces where they were blocked on an escape route by an unknown unit that had breached the main line. Less than 2,000 people have finally managed to leave the battlefield.
More than 1,000 dead and missing. The fact that the injured could reach one hundred and fifty was a huge defeat that could not be described as catastrophic.
"So the royal capital is surrounded by the heavy air of a funeral home."
It's Cyrill who talks to Nere at Aldis's house.
About ten days have passed since the defeat of the Royal Army. The hustle and bustle As the territory of each region gathers in the royal capital for the next battle, militias are invited and mercenaries are invited to join the war, so it will be wrapped up soon. But at the moment, the impact of the previous defeat is still dragging. In particular, military officials have been severely depressed and seem to be unable to recover from the defeat.
"It's also a terrible defeat."
After listening to the series, Nere remarked as if by another person.
"It's good to say that the standing army of the royal city is annihilated. If we gather local territory, militia, and mercenaries, we still have the capacity, but the same goes for the empire."
Gozume: The empire, which won a one-sided victory in the first match, was staying in the wilderness and joining forces from its home country. Some troops may have left the front line in the previous battle, but their numbers are an order of magnitude less than in the kingdom. Approximately 2,000 unidentified cavalry groups in addition to army soldiers. He added that the troops would be in excess of 12,000. In this battle, the empire seemed to seriously settle with the kingdom.
On the other hand, the Kingdom's troops to intercept are few. Even rake the territory and militia from all over the country. In addition, the standing army of the royal city, which should play a central role, has been destroyed. Currently, reorganization is progressing at a rapid pace, but it is doubtful that the number of minor injuries will exceed 1,000.
"Is Aldis OK?"
Cyrill devised Aldis, who is currently in the empire.
It's hard to imagine a person with such a devastating strength being forced into trouble. Nevertheless, it is easy to predict that wartime enemy countries will be incredibly dangerous.
"No problem. Mercenaries originally do not belong to any country. It is not unusual to fight against the nation where you are usually based."
"Eh ...? No way, Aldis, aren't you in the Imperial Mercenaries?"
Cyril's face turns blue instantly. Cyril did not even think of turning Aldis into an enemy.
Judgment: "It is possible. My Lord does not serve this country. I just happen to have his home in the kingdom."
"That's ... I think so."
Yo, "Well, don't worry. I don't care about the kingdom, but there's no reason to turn it into an empire. It's my Lord. No matter what, they will do what they want to do. ''
"Oh, well, yes, that guy is going to cut through the battlefield with a nervous face."
Rather, it seems that Cyril's understanding of Aldis has deepened as he can imagine it more smoothly.
"Hmm. I'd say," If you rumors-- "
Amairo A look away from Cyril's convinced face, Nere's eyes turn south.
"What? What?"
Cyrill asks a question without understanding his meaning. After a short delay, Philia and Liana happily raise their voices.
"Come here, Kiriri!"
"Aldis and Rona!"
"What? What's coming? Aldis and Rona?"
The twins were all looking in different directions. As his gaze gradually shifted from south to east and over the door, which was the entrance to the house, Kirill finally understood its meaning.
There was some sign behind the door.
"Ah ... maybe?"
Yare got up and Nere walked to the entrance and gently opened the door.
Few people know this place, located in a dangerous forest. In addition, it is home to twins who cannot be seen. Naturally, strangers do not suddenly visit, and Nere cannot allow strangers to approach.
Yasushi A person who welcomes Neré to the stage. As far as Cyril knew, there was only one.
Souvenir "I came here, Cyrill. It was just right.
Behind the open door. The boy stands with a beast wrapped in golden hair, a reunion for the first time in three months.
"Welcome Aldis!"
The twins jumped to the black-haired boy with a voice of rejoicing.
