296 296. 80. Imperial Trouble (2)

I felt like I was going to fly until I first left the kingdom.

It couldn't have been so good to know we'd be on the battlefield soon.

“Commander? I hope so. You do a lot of hard work in the back. I go to the front. ”

It was pleasant to tease Vincent, who was tied to his feet at the fortress of the Silver Lion.

That was it.

Beyond the old boundaries of the kingdom, through the new territory of the kingdom torn by the Three Princes, I felt like a lie as soon as the kingdom arrived in the newly occupied area.

The whole world was a eunuch.

The march is blurry, and the eyes of the dead overflow into and out of the citadel.

There were countless people who took their home from monsters and lost their close relatives.

“Long live the kingdom of Leonberg. ”

When I saw them stretching out on the side of the road and shouting without a soul, I was disgraced.

That was not the only place.

Almost all the areas occupied by the allies did so.

“Long live the kingdom of Leonberg. ”

It led to a buzzing cheer.

“Long live Balahard! ”

Then the people of the occupied territories heard a name they could not put in their mouths.

A fairly fervent voice that is clearly distinguished from other cheers.

I immediately summoned those who had mentioned the name of Balahad to the soldiers.

“It's called Luang. ”

He introduced himself as a veteran and would have been the food of monsters had it not been for the Royal Army.

I heard the Rangers' outrageous relief efforts through him.

I felt like I was getting a bit of a headache since I entered the occupied territories.

Shortly thereafter, the Rangers' strong intentions led the Royal Army to become more active in relief efforts.

During the relief effort, the Rangers cleared out a group of monsters while slowing down their advance.

He said that the monsters in the back had a reason to get in trouble, but I didn't believe him.

The Rangers weren't the kind to roll their heads like that.

I would have acted the way I wanted to, and only then would I have given a proper reason.

“Idiots.”

Where else in the world are those fools who make a fuss about saving the people of their enemies during the war?

I was so happy with that stupidity, and the title was so good.

Of course, it was a complaint that they were so hostile and monstrous that they had to clean up and move boredly without having to carry out a common battle.

But when I met the Rangers, I could tell Chiha.

“Your Majesty is coming, so we cleaned it up. ”

If I hadn't only seen Jordan blubbering with a cheeky face, I would have thought so.

“Just in case, I snuck around specifically, and I checked twice or three times. ”

Everyday, it's been a long time since I've seen a chatty Ranger squadron commander.

So I communicated.

I made contact with the Rangers, and they gave me a colony of monsters.

Unexpected income.

I headed that way to the colony of monsters, and flew with excitement.

Then I joined the vanguard.

There was Eli.

The look on Eli's face was really strange, as if he wanted to see the flag of my family that had never been seen before.

A frozen face, not crying or laughing.

That's why Arwen hates it.

“Big. You said it was real. ”

I felt a sense of humor, too.

I didn't complain because I came to him in the middle of the night and left without a proper greeting from him.

Absolutely.

“Jorden said it was a secret. I made a mistake.”

The failure to keep secrets was never deliberately pronounced by Jordan because he hated it.

That's when Montpellier shoved his face in.

Bona Marna, look at the sympathy on this side of the street.

The moment I saw him, I remembered the Occupied Territories that had passed by while I was coming.

The greedy bite the faithful, and the rest are the beasts of the dread. And while the Beasts were only looking after my castle storehouse, the people were beaten by monsters.

It was nothing different from what the Empire has done to the Kingdom in the past hundred years, and today the Kingdom would have met if it had not been independent.

The fire rises.

“Billion!”

When I woke up, I was already beating him in Montpellier.

Montpellier didn't even make excuses.

When I kick, I get what I kick, and when I hit, I get what I hit.

He's not going to be so stubborn. He's going to defend himself by now by putting on all sorts of excuses.

There must have been something going on.

I knocked him hard and thought. I squealed with his screams.

I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a reason.

“Why didn't you attend my funeral? ”

I laughed in vain as if he was carrying a load.

Then he looked at me.

A face full of resentment and coldness.

For the kingdom's sake, I suffered among fools, and I opened the duc in recognition of the identity of my spies dying miserably. Where else in the world is this?

He was talking to me with his own eyes.

Of course, the seeds didn't even work out for me.

“You have a lot of bad eyes. Just the eyes of a traitor. ”

An angry Montpellier closes his eyes.

“The presumptuous boy, who was stranded in the first place and was stranded in a car that was being dragged by force, would have thought he didn't have to come back to the cruel kingdom. ”

Looking at him like that, I said coldly.

“I thought it would be better to start over here because I can't even make it to the continent if I let it go, and I'm committed to my own country again. ”

If it wasn't for that, I should have come home late after everything I was doing.

If I had intended to continue living as a nobleman of the kingdom, it was normal to at least see for myself what the kingdom would look like after my death.

But he did not return, nor did he send a man to examine the circumstances of the kingdom.

“All the useless will be dead, not a word of it for the rest of us. It's my world, I'm sure. ”

The meaning was so obvious.

"What, were you planning to build a Montpellier dynasty here? ”

He flinches at me.

“Clement de Montpellier. ”

Montpellier's body begins to tremble.

“Maybe I don't know you. ”

“Your Majesty! ”

At that moment, he approaches on his knees and hangs on my crotch.

“Now, wait! Wait a minute! I just imagined it! I swear I didn't do anything against your will! ”

He was out of his mind for a while, just a delusion of a handwriting. Montpellier desperately begged me.

Ugh.

He bends over. He grabs the crotch and hits Montpellier, who was wailing.

I reach out and slap his cheek lightly.

"Trust me."

Smiling brightly.

The constantly whining man shuts his mouth.

“I would have been strangled already if I hadn't. ”

I look more at the back of his face.

Montpellier turns his head after me and stiffens.

There were three gray shadows on the back of him that appeared like a rubble.

It was only four half-elves now, including Gunne, who I left to keep an eye on when I might be able to pull the strings.

“Jonathan. Harun. Ibir."

And when they had called their names, they came and stood before me with a loud voice.

“Hi-yeah! ”

Montpellier shot the Iron Puduck's ass.

Then or not, I looked at the half-elves and said softly.

“The surveillance mission is over. Well done.”

Jonathan of the Red Cross laughed at Bassi. The dark-haired Harun slices his head. Ibir, blonde, shook his lips and asked for his next mission.

But there was no next mission.

“You're free now. ”

The freedom I speak of is not just the freedom of action, but the perfect liberation from the fate of those who persecuted and oppressed the poor halves.

“Ahhh.”

Half elves shake their heads, making the same distinctive sound as a wounded animal.

Poor half-elves who lost their way to live alone without an order.

But I believed.

Just as you have overcome your destiny by stepping out on your own at the last minute and sticking a knife in Sigrun's back, they will overcome their destiny one day.

All they need is a little bit of time and a little meter.

“I'm not going to be forced out, so don't be so anxious. ”

The half-elves, who were groaning like abandoned puppies, returned as usual.

Until then, Montpellier still hesitates to sit on the floor with his frozen face.

“Montpellier.”

“Yes? Yes! Your Majesty!”

The one who raised his body in rage fell flat before me.

“This is my last chance. ”

“Go, thank you! Your Majesty!”

He shoots his head on the floor.

“Thank you! Thank you so much! Sire! I will not even dream of this Montpellier! ”

To keep his forehead warm and wet with blood, he did so several times and thanked me.

I saw my beloved knights who finished the work of the Monpellier and the Half Elves.

Eli and Arwen were looking at me with one face.

“Let's go. I have so much to hear. ”

* *

I spoke to my knights that day to let the sun go down.

To be precise, I heard Eli's story unilaterally.

He doesn't stop talking about much.

Much of it was about his specialty in this war, and the rest was about the Eli family.

If it had been usual, I would have sealed it several times, even if I had sealed that chatty mouth in the middle.

But not today.

I let Eli roar.

So I heard the same story about five times.

“Anyway, that's what happened. ”

Eli's chatter is finally over.

The man who finished the story stares at me.

“Yeah? Good job. Well done.”

I think I want a compliment, so he snorts and mouthes quickly.

Then suddenly I hardened my face.

I wanted to ask you something, but I hesitated because I couldn't ask.

I almost knew what Eli was asking me.

“Well, are you okay now? ”

As you can imagine, the question Eli brought out a long time ago was about my condition.

"I'm fine."

I pulled out the sword as I could see and swung.

Eli woke up more than ever with that look in my eyes.

“I suddenly remembered what I had to do. ”

Then he fled and disappeared out of the barracks.

“Kid. Kid. I can't tell you the truth. ”

I can feel his eyes as he kicks his tongue as he looks away.

Arwen was looking at me for a break.

“Why. Well. You want Arwen to show off for major? ”

She knelt down on her knees, shaking her head small on my words.

And he asked me to punish him.

As the commander of the army, he did not listen to the advice of the chief of staff, but begged for sin because he made his home a danger to others.

“What else did I say? ”

On the way here, I had already heard the news of the Great War through Jordan and handed over her sins without a grudge.

But she begged me to punish her even more strongly.

“Let us serve as knights and wash away our sins. ”

He put down the top of the Great Deputy Commander and even made a plea to fight at the front line with one knight.

I looked right at her.

“It was the crew that put Arwen at the forefront. The old man couldn't have predicted this situation. I know all about it. ”

No, to be precise, it had to be seen as aimed at.

“Now that the enemy's resistance has changed, it is possible to stamp it with force, but it is clear that even if you go later, you will be able to use it. ”

Unlike the last war.

At that time, I did not tolerate my enemies because I was risking my life to protect them. At that time, the enemies had no choice but to retreat to the mainland to avert death and fight.

If the horror slows down the advance, the allies can make that much time.

“If there is only one choice left for the enemy, they will plead to die to live and stop their allies. ”

Fighting those who are eager to die has not always been easy.

Even if I won, I had to take the damage. And the allies were unable to recruit lost troops.

No matter how many troops you squeeze, the number of allies was the maximum of 20. In reality, it would have been the limit of fifteen troops in a column that had to be kept to a minimum.

In this war, we had to concentrate our strength on the battle that was absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, you will lose the placenta of your troops before you even fight the Empire's real army, the Emperor.

There had to be at least one hole to get out of the enemy. Don't feel the need to risk your life.

“Though not all fruits were achieved here, Arwen, when the realm started the real fight, your choice would come back with great consequences. ”

It was unimportant that the negotiations returned to failure. What was really important was the fact that the Kingdom showed that it was not a fierce army that killed all the warriors, but an army that was sometimes tolerant.

Including me, Vincent and the other commanders couldn't do it.

Dead in a fight, not capable of accepting clumsy negotiations.

Only Arwen was different.

The crew knew it, and I knew it.

“Haona, I've become a danger to Eli...”

“At least!”

I cut off the words of Arwen who repeatedly pleaded guilty.

“Arwen Kirgayen, I know, is never a reckless knight.”

Arwen flinches at me.

“I heard that there were five Paladins who stood in the way that day. ”

I looked at Arwen like that and asked.

“How'd it go with you? You really couldn't handle it. ”

Arwen hesitates for a while and opens her mouth.

“... it was a meaningless home, but to be honest, it didn't seem to be a loss."

Other than her, it was quite a cautious tone to shine with arrogance, but it was cheerful.

I knew it from the start.

That the first of my articles had reached completion, took another step.

I didn't know exactly when she took that step.

I was just guessing.

The day me and the maid fought the sword, she saw something, and she would get it again.

It was just a guess that depended on the feeling.

But the power she had was reality, not speculation.

Arwen was already the owner of the Rosary Division and was no lower than the Western strongest knight.

For now, Arwen Kirgayen was the strongest of my knights.

He stroked his beardless jaw and asked.

“I thought you said there was only one army, one knight, left in Brien's nature. ”

“I'm not an elite person, but it's true that there are still enemies of that size."

Arwen nods.

“Perfect. ”

I laughed.

“I'll give you a hundred knights. ”

And I ordered it.

“Take down Bryan Castle with them. ”

She opens her eyes in a puzzling order.

Numerous emotions swirled over the starry eyes.

And when she was not left, she said,

“I will follow your orders. ”

It was just a loud voice.

* *

Early in the morning, I climbed to the bluff of the plain and saw Brien's work.

Above the firmly closed gates and walls, archers are pulling out their heads.

A hundred allied knights appeared in front of him.

Until then, the enemy only looked at the Knights.

I couldn't see the motions of the troops, so I noticed I wasn't very vigilant.

I am still looking at the mystical confrontation, and I can hear all the dying voices from below.

“Thy Majesty. ”

It was Montpellier.

The one with the sweat on the floor with his two arms has been exhausted since he served as my chair.

“Are you having a hard time?”

He nods desperately and holds his voice.

“Boo, you certainly forgive me, didn't you say you give me another chance? ”

In his words, I turned my gaze back towards the author, staring loudly at him.

“You're giving me a chance. ”

In fact, I had no intention of overturning the words.

But if I had a chance before forgiveness, I would have tried to fix the rotten tenacity of thinking of betrayal.

That way you'll never have another heart.

To do this, there was only one condition I had.

I will be my chair until the castle is destroyed, and I will make it as innocent as possible if I endure it, and I will make my past achievements worse.

“At least take off your armor...”

“Take your armor off the battlefield to see me naked? ”

“That's not it...”

“Don't try to negotiate with me, but if you have the strength, you'd better stick it in your arms. ”

After that, even the Montpellier didn't bother me anymore.

Did you take my advice or not?

In fact, it seemed good.

I tightened my eyes and saw the side of the wall.

It was the moment that the knight who was at the forefront of one hundred allied knights began to walk alone toward the gate.
