531 Chapter 514 The Southern Border Guard

North of the Principality of Albatro.

Near the southern border of the Empire.

There was a fortress of border guards built by the Empire.

It was a robust fortress that could not be defeated in the Duchy of Albatross, packed with tens of thousands of border guards.

It was here, Fort General.

It was Pranerto, the general in charge of the border guards, who took charge of the fort.

More than 60 years of age and more than 40 years of war history.

He was one of the oldest members of the Imperial Army.

Such a planet loved to look out of the fort.

"Oh, this is Prince Diethelm."

"Please don't be a prince." He's already a duke. "

"Hahahaha, for Tsubaki, the prince is always the prince."

Pranelt was once an active general in the center.

Many times, he came out with the Emperor, and when Al's uncle, Diethelm, was still a prince, he also taught swords and military instruction.

"It's no different, you are."

"The prince... no, has the royal brother changed?"

"Somewhat. I thought I wasn't fit for the emperor's rank, and then I put my brother in the rank of emperor in a deadly madness."My brother prepared a number of positions for me, but I withdrew.Because the struggle for power was a struggle. "

You seem to regret it, don't you?

"Oh, I am. If I were in the Imperial City... maybe I could have made it a little easier for my brother."

In hiding, Dietrich Lum watched the changes in the Empire.

The information that flows is all disturbing.

Still, the good ones are with my brother.

The more you move, the more confusion you create.

Believing so, I was in hiding.

Sometimes, the day was a busy one, and the life spent on reading suited my needs.

But...

"For my brother, Wilhelm was everything.He was the son to whom I entrusted my ideals.With the loss of his son, your brother was unable to resist the customs of the Empire.Compete for the children you love, and give the throne to those who have not won.I was forced to do the same as the Emperor before me.At that time, I regretted that I should have stayed in the Imperial City. "

"The imperial struggle is a struggle for power. It will be difficult for you, the Emperor's younger brother, to remain neutral.Some of them would have been saved, but others would have been a burden to the Emperor.Things are like that. ”

It is impossible to say that there is only a benefit.

Someone's interests are someone's disadvantages.

Somebody's justice is somebody's evil.

There are good things and there are bad things.

Many battlegrounds had made it clear to Planeto.

And Diethelm, who had won the battle for the throne, knew that.

If you don't want to get in trouble.

If we don't want to be hostile to anyone.

We have no choice but to live in spite of everything.

I thought that would be fine.

Until now.

"If you move, it will be to someone's disadvantage.I didn't move because I didn't like it.But even if you know it's to someone's disadvantage... there's someone you need to help. "

"Is this Prince Arnold..."

"She's just like me.Just as I tried to put Leonardo in the throne, so too does he try to put Leonardo in the throne.I want to help you. That's what I thought. "

Is that why you came to me?

"Oh, I need you to move the Southern Border Guard to an offensive position."They put pressure on the nobility of the Principality near the border. "

I think it's a good idea, but as a guardian of the borders of the Empire, I can't be arbitrary, even under the orders of His Majesty's younger brother.

"I take all responsibility.The pressure alone would be a great help to Arnold. ”

"I will not move the army unless requested to do so by His Majesty the Emperor or by an authorized person."The Border Guard, as its name implies, is the defense of the army.It is only an army that does not let them invade.That's why the Emperor has no life, and it's unacceptable to show invading maneuvers. "

"I know everything." However, the situation is time-barred.The Duchy is already in a state of civil strife.Arnold alone is hard to recover. "

Diethelm's favor pushed Pranelt's eyes into his thoughts.

Diethelm is a wise man.

I'm asking, saying that the man knows everything.

It's easy to say no.

After all, Pranerto was more correct.

However, it is not always best to do the right thing.

Pranelt understood that too.

The sound of a whistle cautioned Planeto's ears.

"What's going on!?"

"A horse is coming towards us!"You can intercept them at any time! ”

"Don't shoot until you get permission!This is strict! "

Hah!

That's what Pranelt tells the soldier who came to inform him.

It was definitely a single rider approaching the fort.

The Duchy will understand what it means to be close to this fortress.

There is no information that people will enter the Empire from the Duchy.

An unexpected visitor.

The soldiers squeeze their bows as they climb the walls.

I could have shot him whenever I wanted.

Tension runs between the soldiers.

In the midst of this, a boy on a horse made a voice.

"Ah, I have received a letter from His Highness the Arnold to His Highness the Imperial Brother!"Please look through your eyes! "

"Drop the bow! Open the gate!"

Diethelm wasn't there when Planeto gave his instructions.

I ran to the gate.

As we alert the soldiers, Pranelt heads to the gate.

There, a boy on a horse drank the water vigorously.

He probably came here almost without rest.

My clothes are dirty and my horse is tired.

Your Highness, what did the letter say?

"Arnold asked for it." In the form of a joint name with me, I want the Southern Border Guard to conduct exercises. "

"I see... is that what the Ambassador wants..."

Deeheelum had the emperor's ring in his hand.That's the Ambassador's proof.

No matter how many ambassadors we have, we have no authority to mobilize the border guards.

But it was an excuse.

Message!

Hah!

"Tell the whole army!" We're going to carry out a massive exercise with all our troops!As soon as you're ready, hold the line on the Duke's side! "

Roger that!

At the behest of Pranelt, Diethelm exhaled.

If the Southern Border Guards move in the name of exercises, the nobility of the Duchy will panic.

As a real threat, judgment will change if the Empire's military might is seen.

You're Raul, aren't you?

Yes, yes!

"Thank you for delivering the letter.But I need you to do one more job. "

W-What the hell!

"Come with me to your parents' house."

That was an unexpected word for Raul.
