Kuro no Senki

Episode 17: The Showdown, Part 13

Warm sunshine plunges in through the window.

Leonhardt was reading a book in the corner of the mansion.

Journal of War - a book supposedly written by the first emperor.

Did the first emperor really write it down?

I don't know where it actually is, but it's reasonably pleasant.

"... Well"

I whine small about what happens.

It was only the other day that I learned of the death of Archena Dios.

I don't think I was so shocked.

Instead, I was even convinced.

I think he was suffering from being himself.

Assuming you survived this battle, you must have died.

Would it have been possible to overcome suffering without this battle?

I may or may not have been able to.

It belongs to a godless man.

I can't look forward to the future.

"... oh"

Unexpectedly leaks his voice.

It's not just about the future, it's about people's minds and their prospects.

I try to understand as much as possible, but not in the essential sense.

I've never understood.

That's who I am.

With that in mind, I heard a footstep called Dotadota.

It's Leela.

I want you to walk a little quieter, but I can't help it.

That's what she is.

Close the book and correct your residence.

Then, at a brilliant time, Leela showed up.

In my hand is a barrel of parchment - I have a letter.

"What's wrong?

"I got a letter from your palace."

"Thanks. Can you give it to me?

"Okay."

Leonhardt received a letter from Leela and unsealed it.

Follow the text written there with your eyes and look away in amazement.

"Damn, that guy..."

Leonhardt groaned.

I just had to groan.

The battle between the Imperial Army and the Rebels - we should remain neutral until that trend is revealed.

Yes, I spoke to my father.

My father thought it was something he would judge that way, too.

Nevertheless, my father's reply was: 'I cannot stand under the wind of the new nobility'.

I even learned the feeling that my vision was inclined.

It was my first experience with mental shock causing eyesight.

He further writes a paranoid statement: 'Lead the people of the clan to reinforcements'.

"... why"

Words like that leak.

Why can't I see what's going on?

Why would you risk your home for not being able to stand in the wind of the new nobility?

I don't understand.

There are no disadvantages, so you should see how it goes.

What is it that stands under the wind of the new aristocracy?

Isn't that the last thing compared to risking such a thing, the clan romantic party?

I don't understand.

The man who taught us to think of the interests of the house did the opposite.

Besides, get the guys from the branch involved.

If Empress Tilia wins, she will crush the house.

I can't use my political power to escape.

Because the Palatium family was clearly hostile to Empress Tilia.

What do we do? Leonhardt asked himself.

A number of proposals have passed the back of the brain, but any adoption will be detrimental.

It is deadly that my father has marched.

But you have to choose.

The realistic route is to take over the governor and then take away the real power of the country.

Kill Empress Tilia and, if necessary, my father and Alfort.

What a rambling plan.

My name, the Palatium family, will fall to the earth.

But there is nothing compared to the fact that the house itself will be gone.

In the first place, I've already betrayed my friends.

This is the result of prioritizing the interests of the house.

I am a traitor.

What hesitation would there be for my name to get dirty?

I think so, but I wanted time.

I'll come up with another way if I have time.

I can minimize the disadvantages of the Palatium family.

I was so sure.

But...

"... I don't seem to have time"

Leonhardt looked out the window and sighed small.

Outside the window was the figure of an armed man.

He is politely accompanied by Leonhardt's beloved horse.

Well, and Leonhardt got up.

"Master Leonhardt, what are we going to do?

"It's work."

Leonhardt glanced lightly at his shoulder.

Work - yes, work.

It's easier and better to cut it off.

We have to face the fact that we've killed our friends for decades to come.

At least I want to relax now or so.

Roy rolled his blanket and glanced at him.

I have a small scratch on my armpit, just like the first victim.

Cover your face with a blanket and move to the bed opposite you.

There's already a blanket rolled up, but I guess this distracted Richard.

The sheets are painted on blood and, naturally, the soldiers are dead.

When I raised my arm, I still had a small scratch on my armpit.

Cover your face with a blanket and join hands.

With that said, Roy remembered the first victim.

Would you have prayed then?

I feel like I gave it to you, and I feel like I didn't.

Maybe you didn't dedicate it.

I have lived a life unrelated to faith.

I'm not in the habit of praying.

Why are you praying now?

I don't even have to think about it.

Because Archena is dead.

His death is affecting him.

Thinking about it makes me feel odd.

I thought death was over.

I'm sure it is.

Death is an absolute end, at least for the person in question.

But not for the people left behind.

Living humans get something out of the death of others.

I guess that's what it is.

Roy hid the soldier's face with a blanket and stood up.

Then Richard called out, naughty.

"... what do you do?

"I'm with you last time."

"Right."

Richard said in a sigh.

I thought they'd say one of the complaints, but it seemed like it was just a concern.

Most of all, I don't know what you think inside.

Three days have passed since Archena died in battle.

In the meantime, Roy hasn't done anything.

I'm just following orders to stand by.

"Any sightings of the suspicious?

"Hey."

"Really?"

Richard said as discouraged.

"... two this time"

"Three or four next"

"Give me a break"

"Right."

Richard looked up and Roy nodded.

It's not fun to talk about some of the next victims.

It would be beneficial to listen in as much as to think about that.

"... are you an invisible assassin"

"Well, that's hands-on."

The assassins whose identities have been exposed are third-rate, and the assassins who can hide through are first-rate.

So far, assassins are top notch.

But...

"I can't solve it."

"Saying?

"With all these arms, how can you kill a common soldier?

"Isn't it to incite anxiety?

"Maybe that too, but isn't it inefficient to incite anxiety?

"Sure, killing a common soldier doesn't necessarily incite anxiety,"

Richard nodded with a strange face.

If you want to render the army inoperable, you should kill the commander.

"So who?

"Right."

Roy stroked his jaw.

When the beard stings, it stimulates the fingertips.

"Not the Imperial Army, not the Rebels. Didn't someone kill you for the cost of going?

"That's oddly specific."

"If you just say so, that's why."

I have no certainty just because I'm talking about my imagination, but I feel like I might be.

"If not both, would it be the surrounding lords?

"I told you it was a waste of time to go.

Richard tilted his neck wonderfully.

It's like saying the answer...

Well, I have no choice.

It's hard to get to the answers that lie beyond your imagination.

"What happens now?

"Wait a day or two... if we're lucky, we'll pull out."

"With any luck, is it?

"Oh, if you're lucky"

Roy glanced lightly at his shoulder.

"What happens if you're unlucky?

"Don't let them storm you again."

"I'm not the lucky one."

"Me, too."

Richard said in a sigh, Roy laughed.

"What are the odds?

"Eighty-nine out of ten."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Right."

Roy smiled bitterly.

If military commissioner Ralph Libra wants to win on his own, it's a retreat.

It's a re-assault if you want to win even with the help of others.

The latter - Roy believes there is a good chance of a re-assault.

Military Secretary Ralph Libra is like a gambler who doesn't get the hang of it.

I borrow money from all over to gamble with you because you ran out of possession.

Very poor quality.

But only this time, I know how it feels.

Anyway, I still have the trump card on hand.

It's a trump card that can open up a war situation.

Hard to resist the temptation to win.

It's all the rage because we keep losing.

I also feel like Roy could win if he used a trump card.

I just remain anxious about whether it's a good thing to ride the butt horse of military commissioner Ralph Libra.

I feel like I'm going to lose next time.

Thinking about that...

"Lord Leonhardt!

"The First Kingsguard Knights are here for reinforcements!

"Now you can win!

"The Empire can win!

I heard voices like that from the outside.

"Looks like reinforcements are here."

That's what I'm talking about.

Roy sighed deeply.

"Aren't you glad the First Kingsguard Knights came to reinforce us?

'Cause I got a wingspan to re-assault.'

"Oh, is that what you mean"

You're not happy, Richard said to groan.

"This will be the tent for the Ops conference."

"... oh"

When Leonhardt entered the tent, the man who named him Richard left with a shitty.

Inside the tent was Count Roy Akbens.

I'm flat out saying my friend just died.

Surprisingly, I'm surprised.

He thought he was more of an emotional type, but he seemed to have the wrong view of himself.

"Hey, long time no see."

"Well, it's been a long time, isn't it?"

"I don't care either way."

"Oh, yeah"

Leonhardt walked over to the central table and stared at the map spread out there.

Rebels - enemy field positions are curved.

Probably recreated the crane wings at the position.

Rebel's, it's Krono's bitter tactic.

How much wisdom have you squeezed so far in fulfillment?

I can only imagine, but you must have suffered quite a bit.

Well, that's not why I'm going out of hand.

Just as Krono carries the fate of himself and the Allied territories, he also carries what he carries.

Now, how would you attack me?

When I looked up, Roy was looking at this one.

Shit, I think.

Roy just lost a friend.

I should have uttered my condolences.

"... Lord Archena was unfortunate"

"It's too white."

What don't you like, Roy told me to throw up.

"I mourn the death of Lord Archena."

"Lucas' husband is dead."

That's sad.

"Count Rio Cairon is also dead"

"I'm not sorry."

"So, Chrono next?"

"I don't have a choice, it's"

Really, I think so from the bottom of my heart.

It would be unfortunate if the interests were in agreement we would have been friends.

"............... So, what's the operation?

"By the way, where is Lord Archena?

Inquiring, Roy looked up.

I'm not going to give you the wrong response, but you seem to have handicapped it.

I'd like to ask what bothered you, but you'd be buying extra anger.

It's better not to touch anything you don't understand.

Roy pointed to one point on the map - the enemy's left wing.

"What's this obstacle?

He's been removed.

"I see."

As Leonhardt nodded, Roy looked more and more at him.

"So, what are we gonna do?

"Focus your forces on the left wing of the enemy"

"Not as good as the center, but there's an attack coming from both directions, right?

"It's a positive move."

"Right. So, what's your destiny?

"My destiny is mine. While the enemy is being drawn..."

Leonhardt pointed to the center of the map.

"I'll break through the center"

"Can you do that?

"Yes, I can."

Using Kamikaze, you will be able to protect yourself from arrows and jump over the fence.

Except...

"You need to draw your enemies in order to break through."

"I see."

Again, tell them to throw up.

They hated me for just a few takeaways.

It's a shame.

If I could have gotten his credit, I might have increased my success rate.

"This is a suggestion, but I need your men to cut it first."

"Why?

"Don't you see?

Roy sighed deeply.

I don't know what he's trying to say, but it's not.

"I just checked, just in case."

"To confirm?

"Words are incomplete. Confirmation is important. Can't we just grab the honor without sacrificing it?"

"Well, that's the thing"

Roy said like he was sick of it.

"This one's making a lot of sacrifices. There's no way I can convince my men that Lord Leonhardt is the only one who has made a further sacrifice."

"I understand. We'll be ahead of the line. Is that all right?

"Oh, that's good"

Again, it's a fed up tone.

"Well, I'll have a meeting with my men outside"

"... hey"

As Leonhardt turned back his heel, Roy called out.

I have no choice but to stop.

"What is it?

"What do you... what do you fight for?

"It's for the Palatium family."

Leonhardt responded instantly.

It's all for the Palatium family...

That has never been and will never be the same.

"... for the house"

"Aren't you?

"I think there's something for a house that's been inherited."

"Have you succeeded?"

With that said, Roy was out of common.

Well, that would happen.

"But, well, I guess it's for me in the end"

"... oh, I see"

Leonhardt was finally in the mood for a match.

My father thought I misjudged him, but apparently not.

From Leonhardt's point of view, my father's judgment can only be described as foolish.

Not just this time.

The same goes for all the mistakes I've made.

All are judgments that can only be described as foolish.

But it was the right thing for my father.

"... I see"

Again, whine.

If my father had been wrong, he would have been wrong again.

I was thinking in common sense.

I should have killed my father if I wanted to do it for the house.

That didn't make it like this one.

Damn, Leonhardt sighed and left the tent.

Looking up, the sky was covered in thick clouds.

Leonhardt crossed over to his beloved horse and looked at the battlefield.

The submerged ground, the burning obstacle, etc. tells the story of a fierce war.

Numerous soldiers run through the battlefield, dead and wounded.

I can be myself.

Hopefully my men will attract the rebels...

Looking at the enemy's left wing, his men hid themselves behind the earth base.

Sporadically enemy archers release arrows, but fortunately no injured.

Leonhardt slowly pulled out his sword.

"... God"

When I pray, the blade emits a dazzling light.

It is a divine art that only sheds light.

Eventually, the light goes out.

And -.

"Ohhhhh!

My men roared and jumped out of the dirt base.

Arrow rain pours down there.

But the light, the shield, prevented the arrow.

Leading the way are the kamikazes, followed by the knights with shields.

A divine magician unfolds the shield of light and runs.

More arrows pour down, but you can't stop your men - Knights of the First Kingsguard.

"Yikes!

"Grr!

A short scream sounds.

It belongs to a general soldier who tried to follow the First Kingsguard Knights.

That mind is great, but unfortunately it has different abilities.

My men are the best of the Imperial Army.

It's not like the average soldier.

But that's the same for the Knights of the Thirteenth Kingsguard - Chrono's men.

They have been fighting since 430 years of the imperial calendar.

Those who were forged by the battle in action.

An enemy infantry fires an arrow with a crossbow and an enemy heavy-duty infantry releases a stone with a stone throwing string about half the distance.

More arrow rain falls.

Prevent an attack by a divine magician flying from the front.

If it was a shield, it would have stopped my leg.

But the shield of light unfolded by the Divine Mage is the power of God.

Nor is it impossible to proceed without stopping your legs.

That said, there are limits.

God's power is too much for man.

I guess that's why they call me God...

Either way, we can't keep Kamikaze from attacking us.

One day we will reach our limits.

Leonhardt breathes deeply...

"Ha!

I ran the horse.

The horse gradually increases speed and passes by the side of the obstacle in front of him.

At that time, an enemy archer released an arrow.

Arrows come down, but not so dense.

My men are attracting enemies.

Dive through the rain of arrows without slowing down.

Soon I saw another obstacle.

A burnt blanket is hung.

It would be sentimental to look like a burnt corpse.

Gakun, and slows down.

You can't jump over this obstacle, the horse seems to have decided.

Leonhardt grabbed the horse's neck.

"... God"

"- Huh!"

Activate the physical performance of horses with kamikaze.

The horse whispers to the pain.

The horse spewed blood bubbles out of his mouth but overcame the obstacle.

I can't help but laugh.

Because I thought if I were Brad Hamal, I wouldn't allow this kind of outrage.

Forgive me or not.

The road is divided with him, too.

No, I didn't see the same direction from the start.

All the Knights of Kingsguard.

I feel like Count Ernato was the only one thinking about the Empire.

I only take shape.

That's the knight now.

Arrows fly in.

It's an arrow released by a crossbow.

The next arrow was immediately released after changing course.

"God!

Leonhardt develops the divine art 'Holy Shield' to prevent arrows.

I try to change course again, but an arrow flies in as if I'm anticipating it.

Look forward and narrow your eyes.

There the old man had given instructions to soldiers with crossbows.

Plus the old man cages hands - screaming something at magic items.

The density of the arrows increases and the face is flaunted.

The soldier with the crossbow is a young man.

Probably a prostitute gathered in the territory.

Experience should be scarce.

Nonetheless, instead of falling into panic, he is letting Leonhardt use the art of divinity.

It can be prevented by divine art, but not forever.

There are limits.

Then the horse is further revitalized by divine art.

Accelerate so the horse can play.

The wind makes a lot of noise and passes through my ear.

Vision sinks in just a few moments.

The horse has reached its limit.

But if we get this far, we'll be fine.

Leonhardt jumped the horse onto the stepping stone.

Jump the fence over the hole where the soldiers are hiding themselves.

The moment I landed, the pain crawled up from my leg.

Apparently, he hurt me.

Bite the pain and kick the earth.

An arrow flies from behind, but it's all off.

Empress Tilia -, and Leonhardt put her gaze around.

At that time...

"I apologize for the unintended blow!

My vision wandered and Leonhardt bounced off.

Slightly late the woman - Faye Mullifine came down.

I came to kill you for real.

It's obvious from her standpoint, but how could she have screamed?

If I hadn't spoken up, I might have been shot in.

Faye turned over here and looked decent.

Well, I guess so.

She's strong.

You must have hardly ever fought anyone better than yourself.

So I can't help but watch Leonhardt wave his sword down properly.

"Wind! '(Buuuuuuu!

Green light breaks between Leonhardt and Faye with the mood of tearing.

Wind magic, no, a magic item.

Although we can prevent it with divine art and kill Faye...

Leonhardt dared to distance himself.

It's not because we've wasted time killing each other or because we're friends we fought together.

Because I decided I didn't have to risk it here.

But...

"God!

The woman's voice sounds.

Not Faye's voice, but a familiar one.

Sure, it's the voice of a daughter named Theon.

Conical rocks pop out of the ground.

It is the divine art of "Mother God, who makes loess and conducts abundance".

Jump back and avoid, but one rock after another pops up.

A lot of power, but they didn't benefit from the opportunity to use it.

Leonhardt took a distance from the three of them.

"I chilled my liver."

"I'm sorry."

Crono's deputy - Minot walks over in charge of Paul Axe and Faye stands up.

Beyond that, Zion stares at us.

"If you don't die, I can cure you."

"It's easy to make an effort."

"That's quite an unscrupulous demand."

Minot and Faye set up their weapons while tapping lightly.

"Lord Leonhardt!

"What is it?

"I want you to stay."

"Ha, that's a lot to say about slaughter."

I laughed unexpectedly.

"Unfortunately, I have a situation, too."

"Is that a problem that cannot be solved in a discussion?

"Well, I don't know."

Leonhardt flaunted his shoulder.

I feel like I can fix it, but I'm in the middle of losing everything by believing in my father's judgment.

Now if they trick me into responding to the discussion, that's the fool.

"… unfortunately"

"I'm not sorry, either."

Night Rangers were fun.

Oh, yeah.

It was fun.

That kind of stupid imitation was so much fun in my first experience in my life.

Excited.

Well, that was a long time ago, too.

"That's not true."

"What is it?

I'm sorry to hear that, Lord Leonhardt.

"Me, huh?

"I'm sorry Lord Leonhardt went around."

"That's terrible."

"If Lord Leonhardt had been steadfast, we would not have been in this situation."

"Is it my fault?

"It is!

……

Leonhardt couldn't say anything back.

Faye's words are true.

Silence descends.

"Is that the end of it?

"That's it"

"Okay, let's get started"

Leonhardt put up his sword quietly.

The first thing that moved was Minotaur.

Bubba! And he roars up and goes in.

The light runs.

The yellow - the light that symbolizes the earth colors the body of the Minotaur like the warfare makeup of the barbarians.

Increases speed.

Large subhumans are quick, contrary to their dull appearance.

That's because your body size is different.

When you're fighting with the intention of dealing with a human being, you're quickly packed with distance.

Leonhardt has made several pairings with a big sub - fast.

When I noticed, Minot was approaching.

I don't see Faye.

I guess he's hiding behind the minnows because there are signs.

Should we distance ourselves here?

Leonhardt tried to jump back and noticed a shadow tangled around his ankle.

It is the divine art of "Goddess who darkens and conducts chaos".

Cut the shadow with the sword and jump back.

Minotaur flashes the pole hammer.

Leonhardt bows his knees to attack and turns to fight back.

No, I tried to turn.

That's when Faye emerges from the shadow of Minot.

Something like a black jaw rises from all over his body.

I guess I'm bottoming up my physical abilities and defenses with Kamikaze.

The structure is a spike.

The aim is the neck.

Minot is already shaking Paul Axe, to say the least.

Get ready for Faye's attack when it fails.

Quite a brilliant collaboration though...

Leonhardt jumped towards Faye.

The cutting edge passes right in front of you.

My neck muscles are hot.

I meant to, but it seemed to have been plundered.

But I succeeded in turning aside and shielding Faye.

Minotaur moves dull.

Keep faying, twist your body.

The next moment, the ground burst.

At first, I thought it was minotaur engraving.

"Guha!

"Guh! '(Buzz!

It seemed different because we're both blown away.

Leonhardt was slapped from his back to the ground and immediately stood up.

"Oh, I'm sorry!

"Gu, it's a good job!

"Give me the guns! '(Buzz!

"Yes!"

I'd like to say if you're kidding, but I'm getting over it.

Leonhardt exhaled and set up his sword.

Kick the ground, pack the distance from the minnows.

Bubba! and roar, and the minnows wave down the pole ax.

Deploy a protective wall over your head and get attacked.

"It's a gap!

"There's no gap!

Take Fey's slaughter with your sword.

I tried to recieve it, but I couldn't.

"Wind! '(Bubba!

My body gets heavy.

Minotaurs used magic items.

"Nah, thank you!

"Chi no!

Faye pushed his sword in.

The core of my head remains calm even as I pound my tongue.

Use the momentum you've been pushing in to keep it flowing.

Faye's upper body swims.

Leonhardt shook up his sword and bowed down.

He ate Faye's side kick in the chest.

I thought I'd be bound by the battle with my sword, but I was surprised you'd use your body surgery.

Unexpectedly, my vision blinds me.

Raising her gaze, Minotaur was floating in the universe.

Open your eyes.

I didn't know Minotaur would jump over Faye -.

"Wind! '(Bubba!

"God!

Shaken down Paul Axe crushes the fence and Leonhardt takes it with his sword.

My body was struck by too much impact.

More conical rocks pop out of the ground.

"Chi no!

Leonhardt pushes Paul Axe back with full force and manages to escape to the side.

I thought it was kamikaze, but Theon has a decent face.

Does that mean minotaur engraving?

Bubba! and minnows roar.

Then the engraving emitted a strong light.

A crack occurs around the minotaur and a conical rock pops out toward all directions.

Plus, it spreads toward the outside.

"God!

Leonhardt takes a distance while expanding the fence.

Something plunders the corners of my sight.

I don't have time to check.

The next moment I stood my sword reflexively, the sound of a tall armor sounded.

There was a fay in front of me.

He was approaching in the shadow of a rock.

"Thank you for your life!

"You can't do it yet!

Faye pushes the sword in, and Leonhardt can lose and force.

I inadvertently lost my resistance.

Faye flipped in anticipation of Leonhardt's moments of strength.

Not at all, I don't like it.

"Light!

"Kuh!

Light bursts between Leonhardt and Faye.

Vision flickers and kicks hard on the ground.

Paul Axe is swung down to where Leonhardt was until half a second ago.

This is also the power of engraving, or something stone-like hits me in the back.

Kick more ground.

Not to escape.

The enemy's weakness - to kill Zion.

She's not using her powers.

Better start and finish before you can use your powers in battle.

"Please don't come!

When Zion screamed, the stone pillar jumped out of the ground.

It also resembles an explosion.

But to this extent, it can be avoided without construction.

Approaching Zion just a few steps away.

That's when I ran scared.

"God! A miracle of protection!

"God, please!

Heterogeneous air pushes from Scion.

I don't know how heterogeneous it is, but I had a feeling if I couldn't resist it, I'd die.

Fortunately, the kamikaze 'kamikaze' was preventing Zion from attacking.

Leonhardt stuffed the distance intact and protruded his sword.

The sword pierces his chest, and his power falls out of Zion's body.

Theon leans down...

"... Gotcha"

I said it in a chilling voice.

I try to pull the sword out, but I couldn't.

Theon was squeezing the blade.

I knew immediately what I was going to do.

My body began to rust.

When I was able to pull out my sword, my torso broke from the middle.

Leonhardt kicks the ground and takes a distance.

Horseshoe, and Zion threw up blood.

You must have inflicted a fatal wound, but you don't look like you're dying.

On the contrary, the blood has stopped already.

That's good.

If you are a divine magician - it is not impossible, especially if you believe in God, who excels in the power of healing.

"Yes, it hurts"

Theon held his chest and said in a voice as if he were crying.

But there was a grin on his mouth.

"Are you okay?

"It doesn't look easy on amateurs."

Faye and Minotaur stand to shelter Zion.

"I'll miss you now, won't I?

"I'd love to, but I don't think so."

Leonhardt raised his hand and stared at the sword.

Though my body has been lost since the middle of the day...

"God bless my sword"

Divine art "Holy Blade" - the sword is wrapped in white light, and the light shapes the body.

Naturally, the light is unbalanced because it has no weight.

"Are you going to beat these three?

"I didn't have to do it."

Leonhardt glanced lightly at his shoulder.

The enemy is strong, but he can definitely win.

Well, that doesn't mean it's an easy win.

Enemy Kamikaze, who was running the lead, turns into white light emitting particles.

Side effects of kamikaze - it was eaten by God.

As it hung up, one enemy kamikaze magician turns into a particle of light with another.

The sight was beautiful and nightmarish.

Death is a terrible thing.

And yet, if you die like that, the horror fades.

Death becomes lighter.

Even if I point that out, they must be disputing it.

Faith has been proven.

But...

"... like you really want that?

Aridead shrugged as he watched the battlefield from the one he had installed on the tree.

God-eaten.

Integrate with God.

I don't mind either, but it doesn't seem like much fun.

I think it would be more fun to eat something tastier and play with than that.

The clergyman also said 'that's better' so I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, I'm experienced.

If I said God's undigested, it would be sincere because it was squishy.

I'll buy you a drink when this battle is over.

Perhaps I can give you a prayer.

Ugh! And my voice goes up.

The Imperial Army and the Imperial Army clashed.

Five minutes so far.

But over time, the Imperial Army will be driven to a disadvantage.

Well, by rule of thumb...

"Now, my dear warriors... are you ready like OK?

"Yes."

When I called on the magic item of the cage hand, my voice returned.

There are enough arrows.

You don't have to save like parenting.

"It's like asking our enemies to die for our future!

"Oops!

Aridead unleashed an arrow towards the Imperial Army.

The three were strong: Faye, Minot and Scion.

Faye was a great swordsman.

In five more years, he would have become the Empire's first swordsman.

Minot supported Faye well.

Highly skilled as a warrior himself, but not the only one.

He had a broad horizon.

There was even a verse like looking over the battle itself.

But if it was just Faye and Minot, there would have been an early settlement.

It was the presence of Scion that prolonged this far.

Anyway, she's an amateur.

The idea is very hard to read.

That affected the whole fight.

I overturned my disadvantages many times by amateur thoughts.

But that's over, too.

Leonhardt exhaled quietly and stared at the three of them.

Faye and Minot are breathing up and Theon is still going to fall.

It's time to end it, Leonhardt kicked the ground.

The aim is Minotaur.

The engraving is blinding.

I mean, the limits are close.

You guessed this one's intentions, and Minot shook up Paul Axe.

But the movement lacks glory.

A dull feeling comes from the sword.

The sword pierced Minotaur's chest.

"Ya, Admiral..." (Bu 'ya...)

"What, you fought well?"

"Ho ho! '(Buzz!

Twisting the pattern, Minot exhaled blood.

"Just..." (Bubba...)

"Don't let me die!

Faye waved his sword down, and Leonhardt jumped backwards and shouted.

Minotaurs are caught on the spot.

It's fatal.

"Lord Theon!

"Okay!

"I won't let you."

Leonhardt unleashed a divine art - a light bullet.

A light bullet hits Zion's knee directly.

Knees pull up, Scion falls.

"Please wait. I'll be cured soon."

Scion crawls on the ground and heads under the minnows.

Without even trying to heal my wounds.

So I figured out that she was already the limit.

"Well, what do we do? Do you mind if I miss it now?

"It's a consultation I can't do"

Faye stood to shelter the minnows and put his sword in his sheath.

And stand on your back.

A black jaw rises from Faye's body and a chill crawls up Leonhardt's spine.

I would be willing to use a trump card.

Leonhardt exhaled small and saw his own sword.

My body has been lost since the middle of the day.

It forms a temporary selfishness in Kamikaze art, but this does not allow it to be attacked.

I had no choice, Leonhardt put his sword in his sheath.

Stand up just like Faye.

The upset is coming through.

"You don't think you're the only one who's special, do you?

"I don't think so."

Faye said like a muck.

Leonhardt stares at Faye.

The sound moves away a little bit, and the surrounding sights lose color.

Confront Faye in a white, white only world.

At the same time, move.

The air wraps around like a stew simmering.

Uncomfortable.

It's just uncomfortable.

Consciousness and flesh are not engaged.

Engage the two vigorously.

My temples hurt.

"Artifact - heh!

"- Summon!

"" Draw the sword!

The voices overlap and pull out the artifact.

Light and darkness collide, sound returns.

It sounds like a thunderbolt.

I can play the artifact, but it doesn't get to disorient me.

"Ha ha!

"Ohhh!

Roll out the artifact with the temper of tearing.

A roar sounds and the artifact is played.

Leonhardt immediately rolls out the artifact.

That's the same for Faye.

The artifact hits, bounces, and hits again.

Accelerate as if manipulated by God's will.

White and black light trajectories into space.

It's as if the space is shredded.

Thoughts like that plunder the back of my brain, but it's the end of the story.

Faster, just faster, even faster...

My vision is red.

My mouth stinks of blood.

Bones crunch, muscles cut a thousand times.

Still, accelerate.

As I say I am for it.

Unfortunately - humans are not just there to accelerate.

There are limits.

"- Kehaha!

It was Faye who took the limit first.

Lie back and spit out blood.

It was a one-of-a-kind opportunity, but Leonhardt also took the limit.

Lie down, spit out blood.

"Ahhh!

"Ohhhh!

Squeeze the force and wave the artifact.

Faye waves down his sword, and Leonhardt waves up his sword.

The artifact collided and a clear sound sounded.

Faye's artifact broke like glass.

"... you couldn't beat your fate."

……

Leonhardt waved down the artifact silently.

Blood shattered and Faye collapsed from her knees.

"Mr. Faye!

Scion shouted as he was trying to cover himself with a minotaur.

I was wondering if I should kill him or leave him alone...

"A thief!

"Protect the princess!

I heard a squeaky voice.

When I saw the voices, the old men were rushing toward us.

Is the number about fifty?

I'm tired, but no problem.

"... Phew"

"My name is Manchausen! Princess Tilia's servant!

"One servant is no one! This Alonso is my best servant!

The two old men - Manchausen and Alonso - push each other with their breasts.

Damn, depressing.

"" Happy, always battling!

They came at me with a weapon in their hand.

Pathetic, but you should take it seriously.

Leonhardt flashes the artifact as it passes between them.

The sound of Dossa sounds from behind.

"Manchausen! Alonso!

"How dare you two!

"Compete and fight all the time!

The old men are attacking me.

Of course, I don't give a shit.

Slash and discard, slash and discard.

A normal soldier would have escaped, but the old men came toward him without a shy eye.

The expression was full of joy.

Die laughing.

He passes away smiling.

What the hell drives them?

At least it's not driven by madness.

"Long live Her Royal Highness!

Slashing and killing the last one, Leonhardt looked up into the sky.

Thick clouds cover the sky.

It may rain.

"How dare you kill me?"

……

When I saw those who spoke silently, an aged beauty was drinking wine.

My throat rises and falls glossy.

Sure, they should have called you a cleric.

He complained that his instincts were dangerous, but he also had a feeling he wouldn't have to fight.

"Don't you fight?

"I'm not an observer."

That's what I say, laugh.

"I don't mean to do it on my own."

"Right. That helps."

That was serious.

I don't know how many hundred years I've lived, but if I don't have to fight, I've never crossed it.

Leonhardt stepped out...

"Bye..."

"But?"

I stopped my leg and groaned at the parrot.

That's when.

I got stuck with someone from behind.

When I looked over my shoulder, I saw an old man.

He grabs my arm, grabs my leg, while I wonder what it is.

It was an incredible sight for Russia.

Because the old men who were supposed to have killed them are moving.

Leonhardt stared at the cleric.

"Weren't you an observer?

"Did you say that?

The clergyman tilted his neck.

I'd like to say she's cute, but she hates me.

"Well, because you paid for the alcohol."

"With that?

"It's important."

For me, the clergyman said something to you.

Leonhardt dropped his gaze and realized the old man was squeezing something.

That's a magic item.

"Die with Nong Ra!

"Long live Empress Tilia!

"God!

At the next moment, the red lotus flame filled my vision.

An explosion blasted from behind, and Leila narrowed her neck.

Didn't something happen to Chrono?

Such anxiety passes my chest.

I can chew my lips off my desire to rush under Chrono.

I can't help myself if I go.

Instead, I get stuck.

And I was entrusted with the command.

Yet how can you betray your trust?

Leila stared at the battlefield.

On the left wing, the Imperial Army infantry and the Imperial Army knights interact intensely.

Should I say it is harshly abusive?

The Imperial Army soldier is - proud that the 13th Kingsguard Knights can't beat anyone.

But that would be the same for the enemy.

I don't struggle if I can win with feelings.

Now the Imperial Army can be stopped because the Arideads are also supporting us.

I want to loosen more pressure.

That way we can win.

"... what can I do"

Layla bit her thumbnail and realized there was.

A prostitute.

The prostitute is free to consolidate the center because the enemy is concentrated on the left wing.

The question is, can't we talk to each other?

Prostitutes have awkward skills.

It's another dream, like shooting.

That's when it poured and rained.

Reflectively looking up at the sky...

"Angle and shoot!

Leila screamed unexpectedly.

How could I not think of such an easy thing?

"Troops 1, 5 and 7, please move to the left wing!

Leila yelled at the cage-handed communication magic item.

"... rain"

Leonhardt opened his eyes to the cold feeling.

The rain was falling apart.

Repeat shallow breathing to wake your body up.

Apparently, my body is safe.

The Kamikaze technique used to alleviate the impact of the explosion.

Get up somehow and circle your gaze.

There are bodies scattered around, but no sign of a cleric.

Did you run away or lose interest?

Well, do you mind if I don't interrupt?

Besides, I can't help trying to read the intentions of those who are no longer human.

"... Well"

Leonhardt walks out with the artifact in his hand.

I have a headache.

I can't stop nauseating.

My whole body is hot.

I can hear the noise creaking.

My vision is dark.

It only smells and tastes like blood.

After a while I saw the tent.

Before that was a woman in chrono and robe.

I can't see my face because I wear a hood deep in my eyes.

I felt that way when I was called Empress Tilia.

Chrono slowly approaches us.

Keep a distance of about ten steps and stop.

"... can't we discuss this?

"If you think about what you're going to say, can't we discuss it like that?

Leonhardt smiled.

Chrono's body is colored with engravings and his expression is rugged.

In short, they are full of war.

"No, I don't think so, Leonhardt."

Sounds like you, Chrono.

Chrono set up the sword, and Leonhardt set up the artifact.

The rain increased in intensity and Chrono moved.

No, Leonhardt just couldn't move?

Anyway, it's full of creativity.

I can't help it if I can't move.

Chrono has stuffed up and waved down his sword without worrying about this situation.

I'll take it with the artifact, but I can relax.

Chrono has been attacking like a tatami.

This one is the best I can do just to take it.

My body shudders every time I take it.

But that's all.

Breathe well and focus on recovery.

Attacked, attacked, attacked - blown away by a strong blow.

Leonhardt exhales quietly, but Chrono's breathing is disturbed.

Okay, now it's our turn to attack.

Of course, I don't speak.

Kick the ground and pack the distance at once.

Then, surprised, Chrono opened his eyes.

Shake down the artifact.

A tall noise sounded, and Chrono curled.

Opportunity - is it?

Moved by a bad hunch, Leonhardt took a distance.

Half a second late, there was a small explosion.

I guess Chrono used the magic items he had hidden.

Not at all, there was no alarm or gap.

Chrono laughs niggly.

Do you still have the magic items hidden?

Or do you have other hands?

"... I don't want to"

Leonhardt shook his head small.

Fitted during surgery.

Tell yourself not to rush, take a deep breath again.

Fight while restoring health.

Neither impotent nor impossible.

Leonhardt quietly set up the artifact.

Chrono comes in.

It's a different controlled movement than before.

For that matter, it's easy to read.

The sword swept down, and the slaughter of the horizontal giraffe swept down with his body.

I will recieve what I cannot.

But don't let the sword distract you all the time.

Sorcery, engraving, magic items - I don't know what kind of hand you're going to use.

Slash the shadow you tried to tangle into your feet and scold the magic item you played with your fingers.

Play the long sword and cast the protruding dagger.

He fights back because he has recovered his health.

The offense is reversed within the repeated.

Eventually, Chrono will be on the defensive side.

I get anxiety that there might still be something.

But I also felt like I had to end up here.

Pack the distance and unleash a blow like a sweep up.

Chrono jumped back, but his cuttoe plundered his neck.

Blood splashes, but shallow.

But now it's clear that Chrono has no trump card.

The moment Leonhardt stepped out, the pain ran in his right eye.

A necklace.

A broken necklace caught my eye.

The movement is dull in pain and the engraving that colours Chrono's body emits a dazzling light.

What are we gonna do?

Right vision is closed.

The attack comes from the right.

What about the attack on Chrono?

"Chip!"

Leonhardt struck his tongue and waved down the artifact.

The vision on the right is closed, but I can tell Chrono has a surprised look on his face.

You've reached your limit, Chrono's body sinks in.

That's when I saw Chrono's left arm.

There's a left arm connected by a piece of skin...

Leonhardt was convinced of the victory.

I lost, Krono thought.

He sacrificed Minotaur, Faye, Zion and Manchausen to win.

I drained him and cornered him well.

Nevertheless, it was reversed.

I couldn't.

The necklace - even with the good fortune that Lizard's fangs take Leonhardt's sight.

But well done.

They hunted down Leonhardt.

Isn't that enough?

Let's leave the rest to everyone.

I almost bent my knee wrapped in a strange sense of fullness, and that's when I heard my voice.

Are you ready?

That was a sweet voice.

If you say it's good enough, it's a voice that's going to snort 'right'.

I want to be sweet on this voice.

I want to stick around.

But that 's-- Chrono put his strength into his leg.

There's no good reason.

You can't have sacrificed so much and given yourself up so easily.

You can't even give up for the people you killed, for your dead men.

"... good translation"

Chrono spun the words.

"Is there a good reason! Stupid bastard!

The next moment Chrono screamed, his right vision stained white only for a moment.

It was an unexpected blow.

My left arm should have only been connected by a piece of skin.

And yet, how can you attack?

Leonhardt slowly retreated, buttocks on.

Eyes open in amazement.

My left arm was connected.

"... is there a good reason"

Chrono told him to throw up and slowly opened his right eye.

Green light overflows.

It is the power of God - the power of "God who makes it green and conducts the flow".

Light swirls.

When using divine art, the power of God rises from the sorcerer.

But Chrono was different.

There was light overflowing from the surrounding space, surrounding Chrono.

Leonhardt saw Count Rio Cairon in the light.

No, you can't, you can't. I won't let you kill Chrono.

I seemed to hear voices like that.

"... Rio Cairon"

Leonhardt stood up with trembling legs.

"Are you obsessed with Chrono even if you die"

"... Rio is"

Chrono groans pompously.

"Rio is dead"

"Can't you see that? That's the power of Rio Cairon! Dead, assimilated to God... and still, obsessed with you!

"Rio is dead."

Chrono repeated the same words.

"... but I'm coming with you"

Chrono runs.

It is either due to Rio's power or the engraving is dazzling.

"Fast! But..."

"Ohhhhh!

Chrono raised his roar.

My body was as powerful as a lion.

Chrono rolled out his fist, and Leonhardt took it with his artifact in an aggressive manner.

There was no way I could smash the artifact, I laughed.

At the next moment, the artifact was scattered with the broken sound of glass.

"Stupid! of God -"

"Ahhh!

His fist pierced his face and Leonhardt was blown away.

He is slapped from his head to the ground, and still the momentum rolls on the ground twice, three times without dying.

Finally stopped, Leonhardt made sure his head was attached.

Exhale in a ho at the presence of your head.

It was an awesome blow like being hit directly by a broken castle hammer.

"... you have to stand up"

Stand or die, and stand up scolding yourself.

Leonhardt stares at Chrono...

"... oh"

I accidentally leaked my voice.

Leonhardt saw the dead behind Chrono - beyond the green and black light.

There was an elf.

There was a lion beast man.

There was a minotaur.

There was a Lizardman.

Rio Cairon did. - Many of the dead were behind Chrono.

"... oh"

Leaks his voice again.

I wanted to throw out everything I had and to pray to this great king.

If it weren't for this time, I would have done so.

No, I still don't want to do that.

"I have something to protect."

Leonhardt spun his words to resist, but he was empty enough to be thinner himself.

I wanted to protect the house.

But what's that for?

For a father judging by his mood, or a relative incited by such a father?

Do you just want to preserve history?

"Ahhh!

Chrono rolled out his fist, and once again Leonhardt was blown away.

What I was trying to protect gives me no power whatsoever.

Because I haven't found any value in myself.

Still, get up.

Why?

For what?

"... Leela"

Potty and squeaky.

Oh, yeah.

Leela, there's Leela.

A daughter my father bought from a poor farmer.

daughter given to herself.

"... I have something to protect too"

Growling again, my whole body got hot.

White light rises from your body.

"I... can still fight"

Leonhardt clenched his fist.

Bear was staring at the battlefield from behind the trees.

It stands quite a bit since the battle began, but the Imperial Army soldiers still maintained their front.

Imperial Army - Even though the First Kingsguard Knights are devastated.

But it will be only a matter of time before the front collapses.

The enemy is still there.

"... I don't have a choice"

Bear scratched her head.

Commander Leila is maneuverable, but not as cold as ordering soldiers to die.

Then you should move at your own discretion.

I'm going to go to a place of death at my discretion.

Thinking about it, my legs trembled.

I feel sorry for the mercenaries in the war, but if you order, you will give up.

"Well, but Schiff sold it."

We - the tribal federations - die to defend Chrono and his territory.

I have no choice.

The contract is absolute.

At least we have to show an attitude of absolute protection.

Damn, mercenaries are causal business.

"... tell the mercenaries of the tribal coalition"

Bear called on the cage-handed communication magic item - his compatriots ahead.

"We're going to die trying to attack. Are you ready for this?

"Oops!

Reliable voices return.

"Let's go! Tribal federations!

"It's an assault! '(ugh!

Shortly after he ran out, Bear was outrun by Tiger Beast Man - Tyga.

"Are you guys going to die, too?

"You're not going to die! '(ugh!

"Well, well."

Bear called on the cage-handed communication magic item as he ran.

"Fix it! We're gonna win this thing because we're gonna die!

"Oops!

Voices echoed from communications magic items, and Bear, along with his companions, was attacked by enemy soldiers.

There will be intermittent shocks.

When I opened my eyes wondering what was going on, Leonhardt was being beaten by Chrono, who had become a horse rider.

"... oh"

Yes, we were fighting.

My body is heavy as lead.

I can't help it.

Twist your body with the power of all your spirits and slap Chrono down into a sea of mud.

Trying to be a horse rider, the kick flew in.

I don't feel any pain.

My whole body is hot and I just have the feeling that something is hitting me even if I get slapped.

How much did we beat each other up?

I don't know.

I don't know, but at least it wasn't dust and sand when we started beating each other up.

I heard a noise with Gobo Gobo.

Chrono was drowning in a sea of mud.

Oh, this is easy and good.

Thinking about that...

"- Huh!"

Leonhardt looked up and spit out muddy water.

He lost consciousness and drowned himself without realizing it.

I wonder what that means.

Soon Chrono was up.

Leonhardt stands up by mobilizing all his remaining health.

I want to win.

Such thoughts plunder the back of your brain.

Oh, yeah.

I want to win.

I want to beat Chrono.

If you win, I'm sure, you must feel the best.

Even so, Chrono goes the opposite of Leonhardt.

Oh, don't go.

Please.

Fight me, and I'll hit you.

We both fall to the ground.

Chrono tries to move on and Leonhardt sticks.

Interrupted consciousness.

When he regained consciousness again, he was holding his pants tight.

Chrono turns his gaze.

He was crawling on the ground with a cloak of pants.

Please, wait and I'll crawl on the ground.

At that time, Empress Tilia knelt down and hugged Chrono.

"It's all right now!

What is good. There is no settlement attached.

But I couldn't utter a word.

"Our Krono-sama wins!

Empress Tilia took off her hood.

What was beneath it is a look that resembles but does not resemble that of Empress Tilia.

It looks familiar.

Sure, they called her a general.

"Master Chrono won!

The general pointed east, and Leonhardt looked back.

Then a pillar of light stood in the eastern sky.

"... Oh, you mean that"

Leonhardt understood everything and stumbled onto the spot.

It was a positive move.

I guess the plan was for a separate squad to attack down the castle while it was attracting the Imperial Army.

"... oh well"

Leonhardt drooled his head without force.

I was alerted as an imperial trump card, but not recognized as an enemy to be defeated.

That's why Chrono ran away.

"... right"

Tears dropped zero.

My thoughts were only one-sided and even defeated.

If you'd recognized me as the enemy to be defeated, you'd still be saved.

What a misery.

What a humiliation.

This was the price of betrayal.

"Hey, can you declare defeat without soaking up your sentiments?

"- Huh!"

When I looked up, the general offered me a magic item.

Grab the magic item...

"This is Leonhardt, the leader of the First Kingsguard Knights. The Imperial Army should cease fighting immediately. I repeat, the Imperial Army must cease fighting immediately."

Leonhardt called on his friends.

"I repeat, the Imperial Army must cease fighting immediately."

"What are you doing on the battlefield?"

Leonhardt's voice echoed from all sides, and Roy glanced.

"Lord Roy, what do you want to do?

"Oh, my God, it's over. It's over."

Roy put his gaze around Richard's words.

The soldiers have stopped their hands.

"The order..."

The castle is falling.

When I looked behind me over my shoulder, a pillar of light stood in the eastern sky.

Divine, the light of divine authority.
