Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan

Episode 22: Dark Clouds

Having had a hard time stripping Liz from Aura, each is now settling into a chair lined up along a long desk.

"Why is there a Third Imperial Army God?"

With Liz leaning her little neck and asking, Alfred strengthens herself and lets her eyes swim with sweet signs.

Billy narrows his eyes to Alfred, who has become suspicious of behavior, and watches him not to miss each and every one of his legs.

When he bit his lips like trouble, his fright and anxiety were pushing against his thin face.

but it's a moment and Alfred's expression is colored with some determination.

"Well, that explains it to me..."

He stood up momentously, but his long sleeves touched his puffy face.

It was Aura who drowned her sleeves.

"Fine. You sit down."

"Ha ha..."

Released unspoken intimidation, Alfred sat powerless from his knees.

Aura, who was next to her, stood up, breathing small and looking at Liz.

"I'm here to get His Highness."

Did anyone hear the sound of a crack in the air?

A noise that happened in a room filled with silence.

It should have sounded deep, but it might have been treated as just a murmur.

But there's only one person who noticed.

It's a boy with an abyss.

The space at his disposal is cracked and a small light emitting pattern pops up.

Depending on how they come out, they are ready to pull out the "Emperor of Heaven (Excalibur)".

And that's what Biru's expression said, but the opportunity never came.

"I fought the troops led by the Ghost, and I killed many of His Highness's private soldiers."

The melody emanating from the small mouth stopped the time other than Aura, who is here.

"If you say anything, it's only an excuse."

Liz's sharp eyes pierced Aura, but she plays the gaze matching words without running away.

"That's why I don't even want to just apologize to the upper side. Then I can't face my scattered men for what they fought for."

Take anger, grief, resentment, some but still sincerely.

"So - I won't apologize"

After completing her monologue, Aura opened her eyes like a witch waiting to announce when she exhaled small and put her hand on her chest.

"……… If I had apologized, I would have slaughtered him with the Fire Emperor."

I think I heard her heart scream, I can't wait, and Biru looks up to the ceiling and closes his eyes.

Tris sees Liz and exhales.

"... I was ready for them. Those who have been conscripted are prepared to die. That's not why I wanted to die. But where Non and the others slaughtered Brigadier General, there was no feeling of the dead there, only the emptiness of satisfying his own greed. One only means that the living blasphemed the dead."

The living cannot perceive in their hearts what they held, what they wished for, what they thought died of.

And there was no princess to say unto the LORD, and how was their hearts?

That's why I want to know what the last person looks like.

No - you have to know it as the Empress.

"Hey Aura...... could they have been brave?

Liz was dropping a dark shadow on her face like a cloud that was about to cry.

Aura nodded without expression, releasing a false and untrue word.

"They showed no less splendid bravery than the Five Gentlemen of Black Heaven."

"Yes... good..."

Liz held her mouth to tears.

It is the greatest praise for the Imperial Guard, and it is also a praiseworthy word.

Many people, regardless of their status, worship the Second Emperor in an empire that is a military state.

If you are a soldier, you do not know where the popularity of the Black Heavenly Five General, who supported the Military God (Mars), stops.

Liz smiled as she wiped her fingers of tears floating down her eyeballs.

"… Then I'm sure they've been led to the Grand Twelve."

It is believed that those who bravely fought and died in the Empire will be led to the Great God of Grants XII.

Once again, the English spirits will run around the battlefield with the Grands Twelve.

For a while, as if I were silently praying, no one uttered a word, and only the sound of a small breath echoed in the room.

It was Liz's uncle who broke the silence.

"… From there, Count Bunadara and I are going to fight, but we are going to have a truce. You know why, because the Principality of Liechtenstein has attacked me… sadly, I learned that because Count Bunadara has rewarded me."

Once, after cutting the word, Kiork continues.

"I'm surprised. I waved a white flag to stop the fight. When I was surprised, the messenger arrived immediately. The Duchy of Liechtenstein told me they crossed the border."

"It's not like they're fighting each other, even though they're attacking us."

And Aura pinched her mouth.

"That's right... even if we're wrong, the Grand Empire must always be a rock to the outside enemy. Some people don't fit in this frame."

Besides, I put a black star on "Mars". and Kiork proudly added.

Aura says, frowning in disgust.

"I can't help it all this time"

Something bothered me, Liz tipped her neck with her finger on her chin.

"Is that it? Uncle, what's wrong with the Fourth Imperial Army?

".................. I have sent many letters, but you remain unresponsive. Reinforcements are unlikely to be expected."

After reacting to Liz's words, Kiork looked over the room and mumbled.

"Speaking of which, I don't see Sir Dios..."

And even as I feel the air change after I say it, he goes on.

"I should have gone to Fort Alto to pick up Liz...... maybe I didn't see her?

Seeing Liz with a sinking face, Kiork realized his loss.

But I can't erase the words that have been uttered.

Tris cut out his eyebrows in eight letters so as to cut off the awkward air.

"There was an ambush of troops from the Principality of Liechtenstein near the Baum small country. At that time………………"

"............... right"

Kiork drops his shoulder as he leaves his back in the chair.

A separate unit of the Principality of Richter Army 3000 was headed for Fort Alto, which Kiork should have known, but seeing as Liz was safe, he might have wondered if Dios was safe again.

"I vowed to reunite."

When Biru looked at Aura's face, she was also surprised and her eyes were rounded.

"That" ghost (orga) "..." Bilu didn't miss hearing Aura whine small.

Kiork, at the edge of his sight, is seeping regret.

"If we don't miss the enemy's separate task force…………"

Aura's deputy, Alfred, reacted to Kiork's dialogue.

"Now is not the time to talk about it." I did make my opponent bare, but showing the 12,000 his back and chasing the Separate Task Force 3000 is only a suicide act. "

Everyone else agrees on this.

If you abandon this fortress and follow your enemies, you will just be caught behind it, or you will be threatened with being sanctioned.

We'll beat the 12,000 first, then we'll go after it, but hey, it's not a handful.

"Besides, you'll be watching His Highness enter here, so there may not be any more time left. His Highness will attack you here if he wants to."

A few ideas came to mind... Biru was not sure how to convey this.

However, the stray is immediately dispelled.

Because Aura said away with a quiet spirit of struggle.

"……… This is our turn next."

Aura's lead-colored eyes lit a small flame.

Kiork corrects his posture and asks her.

"Is that a good idea?

"Yes, we will strike out of the Berk Fortress."

"I think it's impotent...... this one only has 3000. Fighting from the front won't win."

"So just in case, Your Highness will remain in the fortress with Uncle Grinda Borderline and 1000 under his command."

Alfred, his deputy, nodded proudly at the words, but the others gazed with surprise.

"Let's take a look at the army in the name of the god of war."

The top of the tower, which stands in the center of the Berk fortress, was enough to overlook the battlefield.

The hot sun gushes out sweat and the steaming wind blows through the gap between the baths.

There are 300 horseback rides and 700 infantry waiting in the square of Fortress Berk.

If you need anything, we're going to be able to rush to the rescue.

On the other side of the Iron Gate, 2,000 troops led by Aura take odd formations.

It is Liz who looks down at it worryingly and speaks of anxiety with her hands on the wall and herself up.

"Hey, are you okay......? After all, isn't it best to cage?

"No, that's a bad idea. It is difficult to say that this fortress is robust from the outside. If you are exposed to enemy attacks for a long time, you will fall easily."

"So I figured we should fight together?

"I know, but the soldier of Uncle Grinda's border and the soldier of Aura have different degrees of practice. If we fought together, it could be a clump of hands. That's why if we fight separately, they'll destroy us all."

"That's hard."

"Not if you have the same number as the other guy, but this time it's just right."

But beating 12,000 for only 2000 is extremely difficult.

If the commander is incompetent, he will be wiped out immediately.

But Biru saw the strange formation of Aura spreading under his eyes, and when he hung the end of his mouth, he drew the shape of a grin.

All 2000 soldiers consist of heavy horseback riding.

Five of the 100 men were lined up in a horizontal row as one, and behind them were three, including the main unit with 500 as one.

It would be the pinnacle of foolishness to storm like this.

(I see... "Do you want to set up a three-fork (Trident)?)

Biru, who saw the nostalgic formation, got a real sense that he was really back in the aretier.

The battlefield moves when the front lines start to act.

It is stained black as the western sky conceived the dark clouds.
