The girl with the fire wheel.
Lesson 38: Sword in your right hand, balance in your left hand.
After Madress's reign, the Red Wheel Army, led by Elgar, slowly entered the castle a few days late. Welcomed by the cheers of the people, and the Coimbra soldiers. I guess the thought was stronger that Grohl was still better than Wilm. If he is the son of Grohl, we can't be so outrageous to ourselves. So the people lined up and welcomed the young and old as they shouted Hail.
Elgar waves and responds to it as he indulges in impenetrable thoughts.
"... Irvan. You know what I'm thinking right now?
"Thank you. My heart, I'm painfully guessing. We also have ourselves driven down the continent. A man's heart is the death of a man who wanders easily."
"These men were celebrating the death of their father with applause and cheer. I will never forget that sight. I don't think there's anything left in their heads."
Elgar distorts his face.
"They're desperate to live their days, too. In every continent, that remains the same."
"... oh, I won't say it again. Just stupidity."
Elgar sighed like tired, then put on a mask and grinned.
During the gaze, Elgar sitting on the throne, next to both, Irvan and Noel refrain. Lined to the left are the Red Wheel Army, Cynthia, Ligret, Nudge, etc.
On the right is a line of martial officers and civilians who have chosen to serve Elgar. Those who surrender include Royer and Perius. I miss Elgar. There's no reason to know what they're here for. With the exception of Cynthia and Ligret, it is a form of confrontation between people from the North and the South, left and right. There is a mixed gaze of hostility.
(The gulf between North and South is deeper. Though we must try to reconcile it. Father would have had a hard time)
Remembering the agony of the late Grohl, Elgar looks down at the traitor who is kneeling before his eyes.
Detained with rope and held in spear by soldiers is the Taishou Wilm Gramble ahead. With a seemingly shameless face, he stares at Elgar, and Royer and Ligret. Even in this situation, he still has the strength.
"Long time no see, Wilm"
"Elgar! You said you kept him alive with mercy, but you would return the favor with vengeance!
"I wonder which mouth says to the habit of traitors. The thickness of the skin on that surface is unmatched. It doesn't seem to be accompanied by strength."
Ligrette advances and kicks Wilm's back.
"-Good. I never got tired of renouncing the roles of Li, Ligret, and the gendarmerie, abandoning my father and selling my soul to the devil! That sin deserves to die!!
"Ugh, if I'm going to fall for you, I'm going to sell it to you. I couldn't wait to see your face. This is the last time, so you can call me more, okay? The more you call, the uglier it will be in history."
"- Hey, who's you?
"Nevertheless, I can't believe they dropped the madre in just two days. Um, there's only two days of robust madresses! It's not an unprecedented, amazing event. That's proof of incompetence."
"So shut up!! If there wasn't even a traitor, for this!
"You mean you didn't even see your feet. That's how you used to be a general and a Taishou. Wilm's name will remain forever as a symbol of the Fools. Woohoo, embarrassing enough to die as a“ former ”daughter. Wow. Hey, if you know any shame at all, bite your tongue and self-determination now. - Look, die quick."
Rigglett makes Wilm curse. Wilm exposes his anger so much that his blood vessels are about to run out.
"Oh, my God! How far are you going to fool me!!
"Yeah, that's it. What I wanted to see was that face! - Oh, I'm so happy, I'm already dying!
Ligrette is holding her mouth and enjoying the laughter that comes in. After trembling like that for a while, I turned to Noel.
"Ugh, after happiness, you seem to be a physical poison. Hey, I knew, Captain Noel?
"Though I don't. Um, we're all pulling something off, so maybe we should stop looking at that face."
"Ugh! That doesn't matter anymore. Hey, look, the repentant face of this shithole! Really, I can't wait. As much as I'd like to keep it in the picture for the memorial! Somebody go under the castle and get me a painter! Yes, this will be the last time, so say something to him too."
Noel tries to embarrass me, but Ligret's too smooth mouth doesn't stop. Forcefully pushed forward, Royer is deflecting his face and putting his mouth in a single letter.
"... Father"
"Royer, why did you wave your tail at such a child! You know what you did!? Waiting for you is as ruinous as I am! Why don't you think about it?
Royer finally turns to the furious Wilm.
"... it's all about understanding. But for this country, I want to do all I can. Even if you destroy yourself. That's the only redemption I can make."
"You fool! If you give in to them here, how do you know you're going to spread the feud? You think this is the end of the war!!
"... it was you who gave birth to the spark of contention, Father. Once, Master Taishou Grohl was at least thinking about the people. You were drowning in desire and you couldn't see your feet. It is this tragedy that has left us with a reckless expedition, without listening to our words."
"I am not trapped in my own lust! The expedition was sooner or later on track and must have brought us wealth!
"Doesn't seem like it to me"
"First, the Empire - do you think His Majesty Amir will remain silent and watch! There will be a massive crusader soon! In the end, all you guys did was call in the war! Unsavable fools!
Wilm, who recruits violently. When Elgar signals by hand, the spear soldier pushes Wilm's body again.
"Watch your mouth. Because you are a loser. Wilm, your sins are truly unforgivable. The sin of making the people bear unbearable heavy taxes and labor, in tune with Amir's foolish plan. The sin of abandoning the spread of the plague and famine over the strengthening of armaments and abandoning our obligations as exchangers. I also deserve everything that happened. Why don't you accept sin clean?"
"Shut up, kid! The only thing you want to do is avenge Grohl! You think you can rule your country with that!
"I guess it's over when you tell me. Was the Father, and the fat chair that kept sitting in betrayal of the expectations of the people, cozy?
"- Kuh!
"Stupid Gaddis is like being fooled by you. That's why I only allowed him to live. The important task of getting people to live and be resentful is left. I will ask you to quell the anger of the people by dying. Use that blood as a basis for a unified coin bra."
It was not from mercy that Gaddis was brought to life. The north is poor, and reconstruction takes a considerable amount of time. By then, we need sacrifices that direct the grievances of the people. Just get Gaddis to take that role. In a way, it would be tougher than dying. But I don't realize Gaddis is mentally ill. You won't even have the strength to die anymore. Get the coin bra's help up to the bone marrow.
But Wilm kills. Definitely kill. Leaving this man alive won't mean the rebellion is over. With Wilm's blood, the North and South Coimbra will be integrated and the Red Wheel Army chaos will end. Above all, there's no way I can keep this man alive who betrayed my father while he was in my belly. Definitely kill.
"Ma, wait. No, wait a while! I have also led 10,000 soldiers. Even in the battle against an empire to come, it should always help. If you kill me, your rebellion will only be seen as my father's revenge."
Wilm turns the tone to polite and begs for his life. I see a clear intention to help at all costs. Seeing the wretch, the soldiers and ministers around them laugh bitterly. This is the end of what was once a coin bra general, and the man who climbed up to Taisho.
"So say what. I don't even want to hear your bullshit or begging for your life."
"... just like Gaddis, please let me live and use it. Think of me and Coimbra and act. It's just that we went the wrong way. I never betrayed your father with my own desire. I can swear by the Sun God to say it. Please, think calmly. You can always kill me!
"So you're saying I'm going to kill you now. What's the problem?
"Wah, young man!
"- Shut up, Shiro! I don't like what was in Tai Chi status, assuming! My father accepted death that day. You should take a little apprenticeship too! Somebody get this bastard to jail now!!
When Elgar signals, the spear soldiers force him to stand. Instead of my face anymore, I don't even want to hear my voice. If it's true, I just want to kill the whole clan. But that way, Ligret will also be in the coalition. So keep it just for Wilm. For the sake of proof that this is not revenge.
"Ma, wait! Please wait! I am also in friendship with Liberdam's Taisho. It should be worth keeping alive! Young man, this is for the coin bra, so you're using me. Take advantage of me and you'll be able to govern smoothly! Resentment does not create anything. Yes, forgiveness is the ability we need to defend ourselves! If you don't make use of people, rebuild the coin bra, etc. -"
Noel approaches Wilm, who resists desperately.
"Hey, give it up already. Maybe because this madre doesn't have one of your allies. Humans, giving up is the key."
"So shut up, you devil! Young man, I worked for a coin bra! I didn't betray Master Grohl with my personal greed! Yeah, let go! I can't die carrying a stigma!
"When it's ugly to this point, on the contrary, it's clear. I said it was just a little funny."
Noel leaked the novel so no one could hear him.
Speaking of the truth, when I put it under the ligret with Royer, I also thought it might be just a little funny, but I was rethinking that it would never be possible right away. Whatever you do, it won't work, and it will bring misfortune around. You should definitely kill him here. That's all I can assure you. If Elgar had said he would help, he was going to crack Wilm's head open on this occasion.
"Let go, you fools! I'm stubborn! You guys know what happens later by imitating like this!! Don't touch me!
Wilm resisted with noise to the end, but after being beaten several times by spear soldiers, he was forcibly taken out.
The Elgers follow suit. Executions are carried out in the Grand Square of Madres, as is Grohl. I have already told the people, so they will push me to the sights just as they did then. The people stone and scold Wilm, whose neck was placed on the truncated platform. To a sight that hasn't changed anything, Elgar is going to despair.
The executor is Noel. It's too barbaric to smash your head with an iron hammer on a boulder, which means Elgar is giving you his own sword. The long sword seems unfamiliar and has been swung by the universe several times for confirmation. After the people who saw it turned to say they were red-haired demons, they cheered. Horrible for an enemy, but comfortable for an ally, I guess.
Elgar moves closer, in order to put his last words to Wilm.
"The rest of the Gramble family won't get their hands on it unless they defy it. Die in peace."
"... I didn't know I was going to be the wingman to follow the same end road as Grohl. Come on, where did I go wrong? What, you think it was a mistake to betray Master Grohl? He said it was a mistake to bet against Master Amir. I should have had glorious glory waiting for me. Sure, I saw the sun shine. That's why."
"Come on, I wonder. Maybe it was just bad luck. There's no other way out of this world."
Wilm finally laughs bitterly at Noel's words with his sword on the upper stage.
"... luck. After all, you should have taken it in without hostility. No way, so far, I didn't know you'd get in my way. He was truly a handicapped little girl to the end."
"Haha, you hated me from the beginning. We haven't even talked about it at all, but it's awful."
"For some reason, I had a bad feeling. You drive me to ruin, I had that feeling. So I just wanted to get rid of it and kill it."
"Oh well. Actually, I've always wanted to crack your head, too. You always get in my way. If I'd just killed him, I'd probably have done better."
"Come on, are you thinking the same thing about each other? And you're the last one to win. Really careless."
The minded Wilm closes both eyes.
"Noel, it's time to do it"
"Right. Then it's time to kill him."
"... Young man. I'm not in a position to say this, but please, get a coin bra-"
"Noel, do it!
At the same time as Elgar's order, Noel's sword severed Wilm's neck. A blood splash rises and rolls down in a bucket placed in front of it. It is the pathetic end of a man who betrayed the Lord and grabbed the throne of the Taisho.
"The traitor's dead!
"Long live Master Elgar!
"Long live Master Grohl!
"Long live our coin bra, long live!!
An empty cheer enters Elgar's ear. Really offensive, but don't show it in your attitude. The people expect new leaders. Never expose your emotions.
(... revenge is over. Gaddis captured, Wilm killed. The traitor is gone)
Elgar realized he wasn't happier than he thought. I thought something more, a feeling of generosity would come up, but that didn't happen. The audience is calling to reveal their joy as if they had weighed. As the momentum grows, Elgar's dark thoughts follow.
Turning to Noel, he is waving his sword and paying for the blood paste.
"Now would Father have been pleased? Will my mother sleep in peace?... really, was it good"
"I chose it myself, so I don't care. Only this man had to be killed. We weren't all convinced. If I let you live, I'll never do anything like that. Can I bet on all my treasures?"
Receive the sword offered by Noel and deliver it to the sheath.
"... oh yeah. You're right."
"Besides, you see, there's still work to be done. We're going to have to work hard."
Noel pounds me on the back. Elgar nodded and walked out to the castle. Along the way, Royer, Ligret and I slipped away. Royer looks up to heaven, pushing his emotions to death. In exchange, Ligret was laughing happily in tears.
Faces that saw Wilm executed and gathered in the conference room again. There is much work to be done. But what should I start with?
"What are the trends of the Lords of Coimbra?"
"No one shows a movement that stands out and disobeys. If you assure him of your status, he will not be able to resist. With regard to the edge of the Wilm with the territory, I also know if we should miss it once and for all. As soon as the system is in place, insert a new neck."
"All right, I'll leave it to Ilvan to adjust. In consultation with Perius, ensure that he is treated appropriately. If you want to express your dissatisfaction, threaten to follow the same path as Wilm."
The reward of coin bra control will soon spread throughout the territory. Because we don't know what will happen in the future, many people will put their attitudes on hold, but if they resist, they can turn their soldiers. There is no nobility like to show loyalty to the Empire and fight resolutely. If you appease the territory, you should be making a big deal out of it for now.
"Yes. Dear Elgar, we should start by developing the military's attitude. The goal of the Red Wheel Army was achieved for the first time. I wonder if those who return to the village should return and increase the number of workers. On top of that, let's restructure the army. This should be done immediately."
"We should have deputies in the north and let them focus on home affairs. Hopefully, someone who knows what's going on in the north."
Following Irvan, the surrendered Perius gives his opinion. Elgar has decided to recruit a Southern Coimbra martial officer, a civilian, as he is. I can't afford to be wasting my time doing something like Solemn Qing. Crush those who can use it until they are rubbed off. Otherwise, we can't save the coin bra from ruin or anything. As soon as we calm down, we are going to gather talent again.
"All right, let's leave the people we need for defense and get them back to the village when it comes to the militias. The Red Wheel Army will be disbanded, but its soul will remain a flag for good in the future. Ilvan, give them all the rewards they can, so that they can live for the moment"
The crest of the unified coin bra overlaps the coin bra's balance with the red ring. It will be a symbol of defeating a tyrant who laid down bad governance.
[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)
"Young man, no, Master Elgar. Let me just tell you one thing. Why does the Red Wheel Army have such a large amount of money? The North is poor land, there is no reason to earn such income. How the hell did you do that?
"Sooner or later, I'm going to reward you. But we can't talk about it yet. There's money in front of you that can save the people, isn't that good now?"
To the cloudy Elgar of the Word, Perius withdrew, even with suspicion. Sure, because that's the only way to do it now.
"Okay. But as soon as you calm down, be sure to let us know. Reconstruction of Coimbra is our mission. Master Grohl would like that too."
"... oh, I know"
Elgar could only respond raw. If we know the reality, Perius will surely be furious. Because it's a gain that Elgar made by spreading blame on hostile states. Same thing as the money you got for wretching the people of other states. We need time to get an understanding of clean perius.
Besides, I can't afford to throw away the blame grass right now. Already, it has become a valuable source of income. Farmers who benefit from cultivating blame grass are also not convinced. Ilvan's, words are too much for my head.
"Blame grass is a contraindicated plant. peace and suffering to those who used it and those who created it. The last thing I can wait for is hell. Are you sure you're ready for that?
Ilvan and the Ils taught us how to grow seeds and how to grow them, but they don't try to help us grow them in any way. He seemed to know by staining his bones what would happen to what he had put his hands on. We don't just use it, we know it's harmful to the growers.
In fact, Elgar can't let this go. Isn't that the same thing as a terminal blame grass addict?
(... sooner or later, we'll have to do something about it. But not yet. Without money, it would be impossible to complete reconstruction)
Elgar shook his words so as to drive away the sight of ruin that had passed only for a moment.
"The deputy in the north is Nudge, I'll leave you to it. Encourage your auxiliaries, because they are accustomed to them!
"Heh. Oh, is that me!?
"That's right. All you have to do is listen carefully to the words of the civilians and do what you can for the people. If you were me, the people of the North would believe that something would change. Of course, we will do everything we can to help."
A roundabout nudge, but I nodded with a serious face like never before when I found out Elgar was serious. It's a path of misery, but he'll get it done.
Around Perius would be appropriate if true, but there is a strong backlash because of people from the south. Or, you can't leave it to the martial officer who was under Gaddis.
"As for the south of Coimbra, the current grievances will be contained if taxes are lowered and those in need are imposed. If you don't know you can't conscript, they can start a rebellion."
"All right. Perius, you take charge of that. The situation in the south, you must be the most familiar. I don't mind doing what I think."
"I'm in awe"
"... So, Master Elgar. I think we can say that the unification of North and South Coimbra has become more than a fall of two state capitals. What kind of presence does Elgar intend to bring the people together in the future?"
Irvan is asking about Elgar's future status. Until now, he named himself General of the Red Wheel Army, but that's not why he's going to do it in the future. Will you reign as king, or will you create a new system?
"For a while, we will govern as representatives of the Unified Coimbra State. From now on, we must decide in consultation with Lord Guembu and others who have supported us. Perhaps it will be a policy to confront the Empire jointly with those who flipped the anti-flag. Therefore, they also proclaimed their independence, but they have not yet proclaimed the establishment of the kingdom."
No matter, I'm not going to fit under the umbrella of the Empire. I don't even think of myself as a member of the Valdecca family at the earliest. But I also have no desire to be king.
Before the decision, the Gembu envoy has heard some of the abdominal proposals. Either way, if the coin bra recapture doesn't go well, it's all for calculation. I couldn't even afford to be meeting in detail until earlier. Sometimes I didn't expect things to end so quickly. I guess the lead will be taken to Gemb, but Elgar thinks there's no choice in that either.
"I understand. Now let's send a messenger to Siden of Gemb to report the recapture of the coin bra and the unification. Perhaps their battle is also welcoming the good"
Gemb was rewarded with a tremendous onslaught to recapture Longstorm State. They say the isolated, helpless Longstorm has no way of exchanging, and that each fort and city has fallen and has already been hunted down to the state capital. Conversely, Giv, Carm Biz seems to be at a disadvantage, but doesn't have any more information in it.
"Uh, do you have a minute?
"What the hell, Noel?"
"Yeah, I thought you'd forgotten something important."
Noel, who had said something from earlier, raised his hand and interrupted the conversation.
"What happened in such a hurry? If you have an opinion, don't hesitate to say it."
"Yeah. I was wondering if you could lend me another five thousand soldiers. Just go, 'cause I'm gonna slap the Bahar army. You were supposed to be at Wilm's reinforcements."
"Wait, Lord Noel! They should be retreating, losing purpose more than Madres fell and Wilm was executed. Besides, it's not too late to investigate the situation. Get your hands on this one, you don't have to fight extra. Most importantly, the soldiers are tired after a series of battles!
Ilvan expresses his concern. Although Elgar agrees with that opinion.
"The people of Bahar have a reputation for bravery. So he's definitely on his way over here. It's impossible to go home without a fight. Awkward, maybe I'm going to take down some city and turn it into a bridge headfort. I think it would be a good idea to intercept in an advantageous location in order not to let that happen"
Even if it ended up empty, that's fine, Noel continued.
"Then let us Iles be the main force and intercept. Please leave the soldiers with me. Above all, Lord Noel's team is the most exhausted in the Madres offense!
Ilvan taps his desk to emphasize. And I'm sending a suing glance over here. I know what you're trying to say. If you let Noel be too active, it means that you will be able to create a contour within the unified coin bra. Under Noel's command, he dropped Evel, the capital of North Coimbra, and Madres, the capital of South Coimbra. I'm a new jumper, but I can't fly and I'm overwhelmed. Evaluations from the people and the soldiers are also overwhelming for Noel. I also know what the soldiers state, such as if he is more worthy of a mentor than Elgar.
So, to balance things out, Ilvan tells me to let myself go. We can't miss this any more.
"I'm fine because I'm not tired at all. Everyone will be fine in the sun."
"It seems rude, but you have no right to make decisions. Dear Elgar, you are the leader of the unified coin bra. All decisions are yours. It's not Lord Noel or me. Please indicate your decision correctly!
When Ilvan strongly urged, Elgar made a decision.
"Okay. This time, I'll leave it all to Noel. Take the supplies you need, the soldiers. Is there anything else you should be aware of?
"E, Master Elgar!
"Eh. The Liberdam navy may be approaching, so you'd better be on guard for once. I think this one's just a threat. Why don't you give Royer a try?"
"... to Royer? Isn't that dangerous for boulders?
Elgar turns his gaze to Royer. I won't put it in my words that I might betray you, but it's not strange to think so because they killed my father.
"It's okay. It's not a betrayable situation. Besides, he seems to be good at handling ships. I'm sure you'll work desperately to restore your honor. If you don't suspect and use it here, there's nowhere you can use it."
Indeed, it is hard to believe that Royer, who betrayed my father and offered it to us to show it, will now descend to Liberdam. If you do that, they will kill all the people of the clan who helped you because of it. There will be no loyalty to Elgar, but duty will certainly be fulfilled. Above all, the soldiers led by Royer are almost intact.
"I see, it makes sense. Let's try to do everything you say. So, when are you going to be out?
"Tomorrow, I guess I'll leave here at the same time as the sun rises. There's a place I'd like to intercept."
"I get it. Now our policy has been decided. Noel for Bahar army interception and Royer for Liberdam navy. - That concludes the meeting! Each of you, do your best to work for the unified coin bra!
'Ha!'
Everyone left, and only Elgar and Irvan were left in the conference room. In its eyes, anger and suspicion are commonplace.
"Dear Elgar. Why do you take Lord Noel's opinion so seriously? I also understand very well that you two are friends to each other. But it seems that some of the soldiers even publicly declare that Lord Noel deserves a leader. Here, if you don't make your position clear, you won't be able to govern the unified coin bra well!
"Is that what you're saying Noel won't trust?
"It's not. Instead of Lord Noel, I'm not even telling you to reuse me. I say that we must balance the achievements of the ministers. Indeed, Lord Noel must be a fierce general with no one in line. But the others are not funny if you keep hitting one person. With that, some will be rebellious against Master Elgar. The balance, the crest of the coin bra, is as good as the balance, and fair judgment is required in what stands above men."
Elgar nods that he knows better. When I adopted Noel's opinion as it was, I knew there was a dissatisfied martial officer, a civilian. Most of them served in Southern Coimbra. I guess I still don't like Noel from the civilian population in the north. I wonder if they are still drawn to that, but the long accumulation of history does not alter overnight. It is the ability to bring those people together and improve them little by little that is required of the leaders of the unified coin bra.
- But.
"I'll leave it to Noel this time. My father Grohl turned Noel away because of Wilm's rhetoric, and was driven to death as a result. I have no intention of treading on that."
"Tell me that I speak out of my own greed! Didn't I give you my property, my technology, and even my life? Are you saying you doubt our loyalty now?
"I'm pretty sure I'm counting on you. And I'm going to reward you a lot from now on. But I'm not going to get rid of Noel at all. I'm not going to block Noel's actions."
"... Master Elgar, why are you so detained? I'd love to hear it."
"Because if we are to perish according to his word, it is our destiny. Even if you love me and scratch my sleeping neck. My life was once saved by Noel. As a result of believing in her, no matter what happens, I have no regrets. Happy to embrace destiny."
Elgar affirmed with an unacceptable momentum to rebut.
Just as the people believe in the Sun God, so does Irvan believe in the God of Islam, so does Elgar. About the woman who once saved herself and kept fighting me to the end without abandoning my father. Remember the promise we once made, about Noel Vossheit, who came back to me again.
