Running Away From The Hero!

# 45 Their Reason: The Reason of a Military Officer

When I arrived at the empty meeting room, most of the people arrived.

Some of the seats were still vacant, but most of them had high positions.

I, the end, arrived too late.

“It's a little late. ”

When I arrived next to the general, my line manager, I apologized first.

“That's okay. It's too late for what I asked you to do. I can't say. Are you ready? ”

It was a situation that could be reprimanded, but the general smiled and walked away.

“Thank you."

“No.”

He was a good man, too.

I was fortunate to be his assistant.

From time to time, there were all sorts of soldiers.

I was fortunate to become a member of Her Majesty's elite troops, who are rumored to have little to fight for.

Lucky for you, the boss is the most important thing in the army.

“If there's a problem with what I'm going to report to you for, you'll be in big trouble. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

I bowed my head and reviewed the materials prepared again.

It was all about this war.

“Are you afraid?”

My hands seemed a little shaky while reading the prepared report.

The general asks me if I'm afraid of him, in a loud voice, if you've seen it.

“I think so……. ”

“Like? That's not a good thing to say as a soldier. ”

“I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I've ever been in a war. ”

I don't know why, but the participation in the war has suddenly begun to be prepared.

I felt that it was too sudden rather than too frightened because it was unimaginable.

“That's right. You've got it all wrong. You've never been in a war compared to your position. ”

I couldn't say it was too absurd. It's because I haven't experienced a single battle.

“I was lucky. ”

“Luck is good. Honestly, it's better not to go to war. ”

Luck is good.

If that were true, I would be a tremendous talent.

Before I was an officer, when I was trained at the Academy and became an officer, I had time to go out and experience the battlefield for the first time.

It was time to experience the devastating battles of the borders as a student.

However, when the border arrived in a state of tension, it was only recently that the change bag made perfect peace with the immigrants on the defense through colorful diplomacy.

As soon as we arrived, what we saw was a change bag with the leader of the immigration who laughs and drinks with each other.

What I learned there was how much more man could drink than the devastation of war.

“War is something you can't explain in words. When you wake up in the middle of the night, that's where your coworkers disappear. ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. You have to experience it firsthand. I lost a lot of motivation to join in the first war. I was asleep, and the Wizard's army was bombed. After the bombing ended while avoiding in a frenzy, the one who was sleeping next to me turned to ash. ”

If I had just flown to the side, I would have been the one who died.

The general speaking with a bitter expression was the veteran himself.

“Are you afraid of war, General? ”

“I'm afraid. The more I participate, the more I fear. As a veteran, I know the battlefield scares me more. You know who thinks war is the funniest? ”

“I don't know.”

“One is the verbal participants in the war, and the other is incompetent. ”

“Aren't they both the same? ”

“No. Most of the first ones start a war, and the second ones support it. ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. You have to participate. I know war is like nuts. They're statistics, and they're trying to judge war by numbers. In some ways, we outrank our enemies. So we can win. ”

Mipils, take them all to the army.

To a grumbling general like that, all I could build was a bitter smile.

“Wouldn't it be great to be dominant? ”

“I don't like it. Even with a good sword and shield, a man breaks his head on a rock. We can't be harmless. ”

And the general grumbled that it was the people who waged the war with their mouths, not us.

“Even if the Empire has an emperor who's experienced enough to go to war on his own, the other countries must be pretty shitty. ”

“Only innocent soldiers die in noble warfare? ”

“Yes. Very few nobles conduct their own wars. ”

Starting with this, the general began to curse the nobles hard.

“What's with all the complaining? ”

The blasphemy was not finished until the arrival of the Queen Dowager's leader and longtime guard, Master Regas.

“Ah, Master Regas, have you arrived? ”

“I just got here. Are you still here?”

“I think so. ”

In my words, Master Regas nodded his head and looked at the empty Empress.

“War. So sudden. ”

“That's how bad the charter is. ”

“I didn't think the Empress would go to war on her own. ”

“That's right. Didn't you report any problems with the war you were investigating?" ”

“That's true……. ”

There were no areas where the Empire was pushing back in the prepared reports.

“It was a long time ago when the Empire joined us. ”

“There's still plenty of time to work things out with the Fernes Empire. ”

The fires of war that began in the kingdom of Madesen and Helkas, considered the weakest continent, grew and began to burn the world.

Our Karan Empire, which did not want the fires to get bigger, tried to stay out of the war as much as possible, but was no longer tolerated by the Karan Empire and the hostile Fernes Empire.

“Well, the Kingdom of Mercia is more important than the Fernez Empire. ”

“That's right.”

With the exception of the Fernez Empire, there are only enemies in the Kingdom of Merdea who can fight the Karan Empire.

Given the geographical requirements, this is a kingdom that must be completely annihilated before confronting the Fernez Empire, but it is not easy!

That was the Kingdom of Mercia.

“The Kingdom of Mercia must be where we fight. ”

“The general there was General Pelstein, wasn't he? ”

“Indeed. General Felstein, commander of the 13th Legion, is holding back the Kingdom of Mercia. ”

“He's trustworthy. ”

“That's right."

He trusts both the General and Master Regas.

It was General Felstein who was blocking the Kingdom of Mercia.

As soon as I graduated from military school as a civilian and enlisted as a lieutenant, the war was averted.

Excellent promotion to lead the platoon even as a new officer.

After that, he won big and small battles in succession, like lies, and even though he was a commoner, he stood before the nobles without revolt.

“Wherever he is, it's easy to get there. ”

“Yes. He might not need our help. ”

“Shouldn't we still be paying for food? ”

“I'm paying for my meals thanks to Sir Ast these days! Thanks to him, we are being treated like lab rats by military strategies, tacticians, and imperial magicians! ”

I listened unknowingly to the grumbling Leader Regas.

“Something. Is life the best line? You didn't like my deputy position? ”

And the general, who noticed me like that, said with a playful face.

“Oh, no. I just wanted a chance to know about the rumored Sir Ast... ”

“There are a lot of people in the Imperial Court who are quite interested in him. Especially the military. ”

It was Lord Ast who was the most interested person in the current imperial court.

A fast-paced promotion that is unreasonable even though it is a nobleman or a commoner.

And yet they are irresistible.

If he had been a baron, his specialty would have been spectacular enough to know that a new one might have been born.

“Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I couldn't even talk to him because he couldn't get close enough to carry him around. What kind of man?”

Among the royal families, she was the First Empress who boasted a particularly strict security.

The number of butlers, maids, and servants and maids who lived inside was determined, and they were all elite elites who were carefully vetted by the imperial court.

Of course, most people didn't last months to say elite.

And it was Sir Ast who had been standing by him for four years.

What does he look like?

I looked at Master Regas himself with curious eyes.

And Captain Regas, who looked at us, sighed a little bit.

“Crazy bastard.”

I gave a very short and bold answer.

“Huh?"

“Madness. Madness isn't usually madness. N-no, even Her Highness, who is a little special, is mad enough to admit he's crazy. ”

Something about the Queen Dowager, Master Regas, was a little strange.

No, before that, Chief Regas.

The Empress tried to put a blasphemous expression on her face that she couldn't even imagine!

“Is that it? ”

“No, it's more than that. You have no idea. He's a madman beyond all imagination. ”

“No, to what degree are you even saying that? ”

Commander Regas was serious enough to be surprised.

“I can't put it into words. It's unusual. What can I say? ”

General Regas, who had a moment to think about explaining Lord Ast, soon nodded his head and continued.

“Oh, right. The Queen Dowager's followers didn't have much time left, did they? ”

“I did. On average, three months? ”

“I did. But do you know how it is these days? ”

“Well……. I'm not sure I'm interested. ”

“More than half a year. More than twice. ”

“Is that so?"

“Yes. And with the exception of individuals and families like marriages, it's going to take longer. ”

“Is that so? What does that have to do with Sir Ast? ”

“It does matter. Because of Sir Ast. ”

“Lord Ast did not tell you about the steward or the maid's care! ”

Oh, a man.

A compliment has come out of the General's mouth for Ser Ast.

He also preached to the First Empress who alone holds His Majesty's love, although I don't know why.

1A number of administrations against Her Majesty's Majesty are still being reported like yesterday in the Imperial Court.

1Even if everyone is careful to get Her Majesty's eyes, no matter how much she favors you, you can stand up for others.

The spirit of a knight who truly cares about his master's advice, thinking of his weaknesses!

“No, it's just that Lord Ast has done so much madness that the Queen Dowager's patience has improved. ”

... I thought it was, but it wasn't.

“Huh?"

“Literally. I've seen and heard things beyond my wildest imagination. The Queen Dowager has been kind to me. ”

In a sense, Lt. Gen. Regas complimented Sir Ast that no one had succeeded in his education as a deacon.

“What the hell did you do? ”

“The moment I explain, how I'm being held in contempt of the Imperial Court? ”

“Is that it? ”

“I told you, he's a man who does unimaginable things. I'm not saying this because I suffered for Sir Ast. ”

However, it was very unfortunate to say that it was very minor, irrespective of imperial blasphemy.

“… What kind of man are you? ”

As soon as the general speaks out,

“King Athia Nell Karan has arrived! ”

The visit takes place with the soldier's loud voice.

Her Majesty and Lord Leah, the youngest sorcerer in the empire.

And then...

“You can see for yourself that you're here. ”

“Is that so?"

And about two steps away from Her Majesty and Lord Leah, a young man of modest impression was walking in an orderly fashion.

“Your gait is full of grief. You're not afraid of war? ”

The Queen Dowager and her sorcerer, Lord Leah, were a step with no more strength than any other.

I looked at Sir Ast with great admiration, as well as the rest of you, in that energetic footstep.

“Now, let the meeting begin. If you have something to say, say it. ”

In the words of the Empress who begins the meeting at the top of her class.

“War is not good! Long live peace! The world's peace... Town!"

“Get him out.”

After the meeting, they all lost their horses when they saw Sir Astor being expelled after 10 seconds, and the princess who was wrapped around her head.

“Look, he's crazy, right? ”

Except Director Regas.
