Unnamed Memory

Promise 16

From around the border, the wilderness gradually changes color.

Ruth was constantly caught sight of different scenery before other countries stepped foot for the first time. Look up at the blue mountains standing on the west side, and speak behind the saddle.

"Sheryde, do you miss it?

The leopard responded to the question with the sound of his throat ringing. Ruth laughs when he gets hit in the head with a tongue on his back.

The road, which is now a slope of sorts, should eventually be divided into mountains in earnest.

Five hundred horsemen rush on the road quickly, aiming for what awaits them.

No one will have noticed this move yet, neither Noidia, nor Lisai's own country. Ruth looked at Tautos' back driving the lead horse.

The wide streets are triangulated well ahead of sight, one of which slowly takes off the streets and turns to the left.

"Well, I wonder what will happen"

In response to Ruth's statement, the leopard lying in the saddle rang small.

But his voice was also wiped out by the sound of his horseshoe - and soon, from the streets, he could not see them without a single ride.

The stone gate in question was much closer to the border than Ruth had thought.

Even though it proceeded at considerable speed, the Willidis army, which arrived near the gate on the morning of the second day, first stopped marching where the slope was relatively loose and rested the horse. Ruth gives a smug voice to Tautos against him as he turns his scouts toward the stone gate.

"You had a gate in a place like this. I didn't know."

"They originally paved the way for invasion of other countries and built gates. You know, picked a place where the surrounding slopes were almost perpendicular and put a giant gate there."

"I see. If it's a gate you can't open from the outside, there's nothing you can do to find it. So it's better to get closer to the border and make a quick invasion?"

Tautos returns with an ambiguous smile to Ruth, who raises his convinced voice.

"Most of all, the plague was endemic in the country shortly after it was completed, and it was gone by then. While doing so, the plains are devastated by the 'Ikzusia sand'..."

"You mean it's gone wilderness? Surely it would be hard for the Nodians to march over there."

The master of the castle, pompous in the midst of the wilderness, laughs sarcastically.

At present, wells are dug and water is available at Willidis Castle, but when it had just become a wilderness, there would really be nothing, only the land of dry and hot wind and sand would have spread. The environment itself must have seemed to the enemy to the Noydians living in a land of high and cool altitude.

Tautos wiped the sweat seeping into his forehead with the back of his hand when he grinned bitterly.

"Still, the king who made the stone gates claimed the invasion, he said, but Alta Ditiata opposed it at the time, and the plan was put back on blank paper"

"You've had a lot of priesthood power."

"It's an old story..."

The gaze of a man wandering the universe captures a leopard leaning against Ruth.

Because of his continued riding on the running horseback, the rig seemed to lie flat on the ground half asleep.

Tautos smiles when Ruth realizes that gaze.

"Today Alta Ditiata has the power to pull out in history. From an early age, you have been good at manipulating various techniques, not just weather prediction. I hear a lot of people have been saved physically and mentally by that help."

"I'm a leopard now."

As Ruth pounded his black back as he said, the rig only moved his tail and paid for that hand.

Tautos looks at the man trying to grab the twisting tail with difficulty in reacting.

Eventually, the scouts returned and the information was passed on.

Ruth nods at the content as expected when it is reported that detouring is impossible and that there are about three hundred enemy soldiers deployed.

"What exactly does it look like the gate is broken?

"That was... something was exploding nearby. Even handling artillery weapons may have been incorrect. Is there no gate left, and there's a big hole?"

"You didn't try to fix it"

"The wood was being brought in. Or maybe he's willing to do first aid."

"Then we have to hurry."

It can be a hassle to attack if a hole is blocked. When Ruth gave instructions to his men, he stood up to move himself.

The road to the stone gate is a winding slope to the left and right.

That would have been a treatment for cutting through the steep slopes, but it was certainly difficult for them to fight, which inevitably would have been arranged downwards.

In the midst of this, ten horsemen advance up the hills along which the trees follow.

Tautos, whose flank injury had not yet healed, was driving his horse with a look that would not let him see it at all.

When he sees the gate, he raises his hand towards the fellows that follow behind him. I loosened my horse leg and pulled the reins on the way down the hill.

Apparently the soldiers deployed on this occasion have also been informed about them escaping from the King's Capital of Noydia. Rather, it is conceivable that so many soldiers are being placed here to keep them from communicating with the fort.

The soldier on the lookout, standing on the stone gate, immediately noticed them and shouted.

From the shadow of the stone gate, where a large hole was soon drilled, a dozen riders chase their horses towards the Tautos.

"All right, we'll do as we're told."

Tautos, who pulled out his sword, showed his willingness to respond, while rounding his horse's neck as various chasers approached. Going down the ramp at a rough distance.

The soldiers of Luxa, when they fled, became mighty and began to follow them. I wander away from the stone gate and eventually plug it into the first curve.

Hunting down former martial officers with abuse, like chasing fleeing rabbits, they must have been surprised by a target who suddenly stopped at the tip of a slow bend in the road.

And they had to make an effort to swallow the unsweetenable when they saw Willidis' soldiers behind them.

"Stupid... what soldier..."

You're not from this country.

Laughing happily and answering, Ruth waved her right hand.

It was in the mountain path surrounded by blue woods that the abrupt battle began.

A splashing splash of blood becomes a sphere, reflecting and brilliant the day it is about to fall.

A groan of anguish was heard there, and the sound of the bone meat being trampled scattered them.

Ruth swings a white blade down the shoulder of the enemy soldier as he plays the axe spear penetrated from the front with his sword.

The return-blooded horse shook his head gently, but moved forward in response as his husband kicked his flank.

The sound of a constant sword trident. The place where they are becoming a sounding battlefield is not a ramp near the stone gate. It's a plain closer to the border.

Ruth, who dared to let some of them escape during the initial contact, skilfully lured the incoming main unit this far, waiting for those humans to report to the unit.

The sky is dyeing red. Maybe the white moon is already out if you look.

Ruth looked around and ascertained the state of the war, which was becoming "her time". Anticipate when to give instructions.

That's when a horseman jumped in front of him.

The man who glances at Ruth with tears and wars will be a captain from his arms. Squeeze out your hateful voice.

"Why is it that Recai... has been cunningly searching for gaps?

"You must have done it in such a way as to show a gap."

"Shut up!"

Ruth flushes the slaughter into the outside with his sword. Then I got a second pair from the front.

The Noydia soldier tries to stick his teeth in and push his sword straight in.

"Those who live in the wilderness just have to fish for dead meat like that! Stay out of our country!

"Even if they say so. - - Alta Ditiata said she wanted help."

The title strangely distorted the man's expression in an instant.

When Ruth plays his opponent's sword for a loose gap, he slashes the man off the horse under a flash.

A body that falls into blood without a voice. Wiping the blood splashed on his eyelids with his hands, the master of the wilderness turned his sarcastic eyes to an unspeakable man.

"The rest is simply for me."

There is no point in the act of answering the question.

Looking up at the falling day, Ruth confirmed the battlefield where victory and defeat had almost been decided, ordering the remaining enemies to sweep and return.

Eliminating the soldiers who were deployed at the stone gate, the line was divided into two hands: those returning to Willidis Castle and those heading to the fort.

When Ruth returns to the castle with the rig, he prepares for the messenger who will soon come from the king's capital.

Noydia's coup d 'état and the ensuing skirmish - Ruth could only leak a bitter laugh at how surprised the king of the rhinos was at the news.

He was spreading documents with the neighbors in the office at night, with his cheeks on to view information from the King's Capital.

"The king knows what other brothers and sisters are like anyway."

"Lanoma said it was annoying. I told His Highness Pale to be careful."

"Hmm..."

My men are now on their way to Noydia's fort with Tautos. When he heard the name of a man who was constantly floating, Ruth turned into an imaginary face.

It's usually a lanoma with a lot of lightness and impotence, but that's a good way to cut your head off.

I guess there's something about him if he says "watch out". Ruth asked the woman standing by the window.

"Pale. I miss you. Remember, Sheride?

"Huh...... Sorry, I don't remember at all"

"Well. You were a leopard back then."

Silence flows through the office to the strangeness of a series of conversations.

Ignoring his men, who were desperate to realize it, Ruth made arrangements.

"You can stay home first," he adds when he realizes you're tired or a little pale Sheryde.

"Oh, is that okay? Excuse me."

"You can sleep. If you have any messages, write them down."

"Okay."

When her figure disappeared from the office, Vernon looked like she had lost her strength. Show a slight scout, but squirm.

"I don't know... you're in danger"

"Is it dangerous? Is Sherida here?

"Is it because you are involved in witchcraft? It's like... yes, you're not a normal person"

"Oh. I guess so."

Ruth smiled bitterly at his men's thoughts.

She does look different day and night, and the fact that she is a priest in another country, from other human beings, would seem oblivious.

A man with such a woman as his lover laughs and flushes without blaming Vernon for his words.

After work, Ruth went through a corridor facing the courtyard to his room.

At that time, when he looked in the garden, he - he saw Shelaide disappearing behind the garden with white flowers in his hands, and thought of the past.
