114 Episode 105: Tempered Glass Breaks When Cracked

There are three types of cavalry in the Diagar Empire.

One is the "Cavalry," which runs through battlefields on war horses, as in any country. Next, instead of a horse, a savage monster trained on a dragon, the Ryuuryu. Lastly, among the dragon species, a flightable individual-the "Dragon Cavalry" that controls the heavens by riding the "Hiryu".

"As you can imagine, the Knights of the Tenryu is a knight group built around this dragon cavalry. On the other hand, there are a lot of dragons riding the" land dragon "running on the ground. `` Knight Dragon Knights '', but this is good now. ''

After a brief explanation by Kacurd, Rand told him to impress.

"The Tenryu, the Horned Dragon, and the Knights are well-known. The army of the different nations, which follow the demon beasts and handle them, are of different types and exist in other countries. There is only a Diagal empire if it is an army, and it would be afraid that they could be converted to a number that could be converted into a force. "" Diagal has a lot of land where powerful monsters live, and habitats for dragon species In addition, there are many dragon races that have the same factors in their bodies as dragons. It can be treated as a dragon. ''

According to the traditions of the Empire, the first Emperor Diagar was able to communicate with the strongest and most famous flying dragon in the dragon breed at the time, and built the empire with the power of his own warriors and dragons ing.

The first Emperor Diaghal is the ancestor of dragoons.

"That's why, apart from armed forces, the Tenryu Knights are the star of the Imperial Army and the country's most popular knights."

That said, the expression of Kakul wasn't very uttering praise. The Fima saw it and told Skelia.

"Looking at that face, it doesn't seem to be very popular inside the military." Horse: "The Tenryu Knights have many aristocratic people, so they don't match the Phantom Dragon Knights, which have a lot of flings. `` I wouldn't want to be involved in having been picked up from a place where I joined as a soldier, '' he said. We joined the Phantom Dragon Knights. ''

The average number of soldiers belonging to one order is about 500 to 400. By comparison, the Knights of the Phantom Dragon have about 200 soldiers, only half as many as the other orders.

This is because his leader (= Regulus) directly and strictly sorts out his soldiers and invites him to go to the party. Thus, the Knights of the Phantom Dragon have the smallest number of troops, but have the same strength and individual strength.

Are ... It is said that it is famous inside the military even if it is a favorite of the leader or it is a coincidence that he has many talented people. However, strangely, few people look down on others because they are nobles and ordinary people, and if there were anyone who would say such a thing, the chief of the leader would be imposing a sanction called "training" without omission.

Still, it is not a terrorist politics, and soldiers from aristocratic and ordinary people are united under the leader, so you can imagine that the morality and leadership of her is exceptional. Was.

The Knights of the Phantom Dragon "But unlike the noble and noble barriers, the Knights of the Tenryu Knights are a thorough Knights of" Aristocratism. " It has been hardened. ''

However, Skelia says that this is a special kind of "dragon cavalry", so it can't be helped.

This can be said of the Knight Dragon Knights that handle land dragons, but the military department that handles “dragons” spends a lot of money anyway

The breeding of dragons and the training of soldiers driving dragons are also very costly and time consuming. Both require special training (or training) from an early age, and unless they are nobles, they cannot solve their financial problems.

"Even if you raise dragon species from the time of egg emergence or catch wild dragons, raising them as knights is a huge cost. Looking at these, you can handle land dragons and flying dragons Military inevitably has the power of the aristocrats, and when you look inside the country, you are unlikely to be a member of the military and a flying dragon riding from the commoner. "

There seems to be a small number of non-military independent dragon riders. However, they are more likely to like "freedom" and are unlikely to belong to the Tenryu Knights, which are army and stiffened by the aristocratic class system. The Tenryu Knights cannot scout a bohemian independent flying dragon.

Pen, wait?

"Skelia, can I ask you one question?" "Whatever please" "I said that there are no dragoons other than the Tenryu Knights, and there are no exceptions. Is there any exception? If you're a squadron that is a land dragon rider, you're not a member of the Knight Dragon Knights, but you know about the flying dragon, at least not as far as you know. The successive emperors, including the current emperor, are flying dragons. Did you find any suspicious points in the explanation so far? "" Yes, I understand.

I thank Skelia and think a bit.

(I mean, is that the only person who knows the fact that "Ait" rides a flying dragon?

He could be blurry or skeletal, but I couldn't see any sign from him talking. It's the same with Kacurd.

I leaned my head without grasping the intentions of my question, even with the Fima and the three escorts, but I couldn't help knowing the detailed (but I doubt if I can say) nature of him. If Chloe is here, things are different.

I don't want to look into it.

Now that the lengthy explanation has been separated, we can finally get into the subject.

Fima raises two fingers.

"── There are two problems. The commander of the Tenryu Knights wanted to have a close talk with Kanna, and a note from the Commander of the Steel Dragon Knights." Then? "

In response to Agatt's words pointing at me, Fima showed some thoughts.

──Is it a joke? If you ask me to quit, I will follow, but that doesn't mean my glass heart will be hurt, right?

"Even if glass is tempered glass, glass?"

I thought in one corner of my heart that I would play a large dissonant performance by scratching the window glass of my room with my nails. Or rather, there is tempered glass.

"... I think things aren't that simple. You know, Agat. First, we can't let go of Kanna more easily now, but we don't know his excellence." "I just tried to say, Mr. Land. This guy isn't helping me, but I'm sure he's making me understand ... I'm reluctant to do it." Anyway, I think it's too early to cut off Kanna. ''

Agatto has a look similar to Kakurod when explaining the Tenryu Knights, and Kisuka shrugs. I feel Kosoba Yusa in the words of the three escorts. As usual, I am not used to being evaluated by people.

Kanna: "I'm not going to cut it off, so don't worry. And now I'm thinking about the Tenryu Knights."

In the words of Fima, the room calmed down silently.

After a while, the first to fire was Kiska.

Tenryu Knights "I was able to understand the Tenryu Knights roughly from the explanation of the two phantom dragons, but what kind of person is the key leader? As far as I heard from the story, I can imagine it vaguely." A man named Catrates, a very good knight, both as a commander and as a dragoon.His origin, the Countess of Catrates, is a house that produces a lot of dragoons, and the grandfather of Theotis is also the commander of the Tenryu Knights. He was a fierce man with experience. "" What about humans? "

The face looked like Skelia had crushed the insect.

"It's a thorough aristocrat. The height of pride is one of the highest in the army, and the same aristocrat is a person who looks down except for the dragon people. Actually, he belongs to the Tenryu Knights All of the dragoons are forged by dragon races, and are also the knights with the highest percentage of dragon races in force. "

I don't want to get involved just by listening. If you weren't thinking about it and were on an invitation from the Knights of Tenryu, you would have been terrified.

"That's right. You must have been terrified. The Tenryu Knights." "What do you mean, Fira. Why don't you stop reading the hearts of people from a while ago?" The question is, why did you want to have a close talk with Kanna, even though you are in the exact opposite position of a nobleman? "

It was a sudden through skill, but I agree with her words. Although it wasn't, I didn't think I could have a fruitful conversation.

"Mr. Kakuldo and Skelia, are you not sure what you are doing?" "Rather, it's too much for me to be troubled." "... How bad are you?"

As I turned half-eyed, Skelia scratched her head in trouble.

"If anything, it's a one-sided opponent of the Tenryu Knights. I really don't want to get involved ..."

The Tenryu Knights are among the oldest in the Imperial Army, and their history is not short. On the other hand, the Knights of the Phantom Dragon have been launched and the day is still young. In addition, the leader, Regulus, is a unique knight who is a former adventurer. As a unit led by a venerable nobleman, it is not a pleasant story for a unit to emerge at once.

"... Combining the stories so far, I came up with some reasons why the Tenry Knights wanted to call Kanna. It's just my imagination."

The Fima looked at me and said,

"It's not a complicated story. Perhaps the leaders of the Tenryu Knights tried to pull out Kanna." "... What's up again." "The Tenryu Knights use Kanna as" Shirayasha. " You know to a certain extent the kanna as an "adventurer", including its potential. "I can't be funny." "Even if that's the case ..." Adventurer "So, I don't want to see a bigger face in the Phantom Dragon Knights anymore. Has begun to withdraw the canna, because in the position of "employed," it is free to make an employer. "

I'm the one who is the lightest in the role of guarding the Fima. If you pull it into your hands, it's a cool target. It is Fima's view that the Tenryu Knights, who thought so, tried to make contact with me.

We said, `` Considering not only the two members of the Knights of the Phantom Dragon, but also the secret, we turned Kanna into an `` inner '' while keeping the superficial employer the Knights of the Phantom Dragon Did you try to get an advantage by letting the information of the Knights of the Phantom Dragon and my surroundings circulate, so that it is possible at this point? "

Fima concluded that Shruga's advice cannot be speculated at this time.

Eventually, they concluded that they had to watch the situation change at the moment.
