Sacred Chevalier

Episode XXXIV: The Holding of the Samurai

The Battle of the Cabbage Plains, which took place in 2002 in the history of the Empire, is generally regarded as a victory on the part of the Empire. Indeed, the Imperial Army left 30,000 troops, led by famous General Bergarard Faranx, to accomplish its strategic goal, the "occupation of the Arce River coast". In the sense of war, it could be considered a victory for the Turkmen Empire. But he didn't really feel like a victory.

"Your Highness... I understand your frustration, but please calm down. It involves the morale of the soldiers."

Partina, the chief of the bureaucracy, was embarrassed by Austro, who had a bitter, bitter look on his face that night when he left Faranx. Austro, with his hands behind his back and walking around the curtain hall, sighed deeply.

"... So, how's this damage?

"We have fewer than three thousand dead and wounded together. But of the three thousand Phalanx troops, we took half. There have also been reports of injuries to Faranx himself. It's a victory."

"Oh, yeah. Victory. Victory indeed. But not a great victory (...). Originally, Faranx's neck was supposed to be lined up here. That horse riding squad has to come!

"I have a report on that. This is the heroic flag that the Horse Riders used to fly, all of which we don't see anymore in the past."

"So that horseman didn't have a holy knight, and he pulled the used hero flag out of the warehouse and reused it, huh? Those women must be businesswomen. No, sometimes you would have made me dress like a woman if I did poorly... Damn, they're hateful."

When I warped my mouth and cursed, I sat in a chair dokah. Again, I laughed low as I sighed heavily.

"... isn't that brilliant? With just less than a hundred horseback riders, you saved Faranx without compromising a single soldier. Have you figured out who the man who was leading that horseback squad is?

"No, it's still unknown. But probably not from the Faranx Army."

"Well, what's the reason?

"That Yang Dynamic is not a Yang Dynamic for Victory. It's a positive move to avoid the worst defeat: Faranx dies. If it were Faranx's instructions, such positive motion would not be set up. If I were you, I would let 30,000 troops storm at the same time as the Yang Dynamics. I don't think Faranx knew about that positive move because he decided to retreat in front of the cannon."

"I see... sure"

Austro nodded and closed his eyes. I thought I'd have a little booze.

A hundred horseback riders led by Kate entered a three-kilometre rear faction from the Imperial Army. Both humans and horses had reached their limits because they ran both day and night. The Faranx Army wasn't sinking as much as I thought. Sure, it's a defeat, but 90% of the 30,000 are safe and famous General Faranx is alive and well. It was the look on everyone's face that they believed they could roll back from here.

When a hundred people joined the line, the applause happened naturally. The ex-soldiers have some proud, sunny look on their face. On Kate's side, one of them walked over.

"I am General Faranx's deputy, Elvin. The general is waiting for you. Come here......"

Kate and the four Saint Knight candidates were taken by Elvin into the curtain hall. In the centre of the back stands Faranx, with half his face covered in bandages, lined with the tabernacles beside him.

"Along with four Candidates of the Holy Knight (Paladin), Cadet Kite of the Hero (Chevalier), I ascended."

Five men stand upright with their heels together. A big man stood in front of Kate before Faranx opened his mouth. The hero Walter Wackenheim looks down with no expression.

"... kite, eat your teeth off"

At the next moment, Walter's fist plunged into Kate's face. I'm swept away by awesome force. Plus, he kicked up the belly of a fallen kite. Too much force, the diarrhea leaks out of my mouth.

"What are you doing!

To sudden violence, the four of them try to stop. But before that, the holy knight Gratina Wackenheim stood.

"You are guilty of the same crime."

I hear a creepy sound of bread. All four cheeks were stretched. Walter grabbed Kite's collar without worrying about the diarrhea.

"What are you going to do? When you're a candidate, you sneak out on the battlefield! Not if you're the only one dying. But you've got hundreds of people involved! I was going to be a general!

He is thrown away as he is, striking him hard in the back. I get kicked in the face even more. The Elfinas couldn't move. Because the Holy Knight in front of you is staring with an angry look. If he showed a slight gesture of help, he would be beaten the same way. I found that clear. The sound of violence lasts for a few moments. Bergarard Faranx opened his mouth.

"That will be enough. Give him a break."

Walter's movement stopped. A toast with Gratina and back aside. Kite, covered in moles, rises up groaning. Faranx narrowed his right eye and smiled at his mouth.

"Thank you both. Elvin, take them. Tonight, you can give it a rest."

Elfina and Sophia held Kite from left to right, who was about to collapse. Elvin took me out of the curtain hall.

"Hey, what... what the heck!

In the tent, Elsa was raising her voice of anger. Four people surround the lying kite. Elfina kneeled pillow and received a cloth wet in water from Sasha. I moved my swollen lips and Kate shrugged.

"Yes, that's okay. I knew this would happen..."

"Kaito, are you okay?

"If you take a throw from Walter Wackenheim, you won't be punished any more. It's only natural that he should be decapitated. So I asked Lord Walter in advance..."

"Ka, did Kate even know this was going to happen? Why? Why not! How did you help your dad when you knew he was going to beat you up until you got this far!

Elsa asks waving her voice. Kate laughed in a dry voice.

"It's your father. I guess it's natural to help...... I'm fine. Lord Walter added and subtracted well. It looks terrible, but the bones aren't broken"

Elsa cried. All I could do was cry. The other three, silently continued with the man's allowance.

By the next morning, the swelling on his face had drawn quite a bit. Because he was good at adding and subtracting walters, and cosoli and a therapist came in the middle of the night to hang his healing magic. Once again, the kites were summoned to the Phalanx. In front of the General, Kate and the four of them bowed their heads and apologized.

"Nhoo... Well this time, I left the punishment to the hero (Chevalier), so I won't say anything more. Oh, it's just... as a father, you have to wear a kejime. Your wife and daughter need a cage."

"Hih..."

Elsa breathed and blued her face. Faranx's eyes capture her daughter.

"Elsa, you'll be back later, it's a butt pen."

"Ha, hi... Dad..."

Ignoring her depressing daughter, Faranx, once again, turned her eyes to Kite. Look at the look on your face and nod.

"Sounds like you have something to say. Allow me to speak."

"What happens to all the hundred ex-soldiers who have helped us?

"I moved my horse on my own without permission, and I came out on the battlefield. Naturally, you're going to be punished."

Kite's complexion changes. But Faranx laughed funny.

"Nhuhuhuhuhu... I'm kidding. They are the victims you instigated. But the result was to save our army, including me. We're offering a bounty to every hundred people."

"Really? Good......"

Exhales ho, grinning at kite's mouth. There was a lot of haste, but the errands in the land were over. All you have to do is stop by the Marquis of Roglaia and apologize directly and return to the King's Capital. First we go back to Valihardt Street and eat. After that, I thought I'd enjoy the four of them in the bathroom. I've been completely insatiable in the last few days.

But the general in front of me was not so sweet. You were foreseeing Kate's evil desire, or you gave her a word that made her want to escape.

"Well...... we have to discuss future prospects. Naturally, I'd like you to join me."

"Huh? I'm a candidate... just a college student..."

"Under the authority of the Grand General, I will requisition you. Join us as Heroes. Hey, it's just for today. The four of you behind me, that's good, right?

Soon Walter stood beside him. I get a gasp on my shoulder. There was no resistance to the air without saying yes or no.

A ball broken in two was placed on the wooden desk. Kate bent over and observed it from the side. Faranx made a personal observation to check with the officers in line.

"This was slashed down by Saint Knight Gratina Wackenheim. The Imperial Army, by some kind of weapon, has shot this one into our formation. Unfortunately, we don't know the shape of the weapon or anything like that. But it doesn't seem as mobile as a bow or arrow."

"Between the second and third shots, there was a time blank. Another third shot was shooting in numerous, unmanned places after the retreat. It may take time to adjust the distance and direction, and it may not be possible to fire continuously."

Everyone nods at Walter's words. With her body back from her mid back, Kite was thinking with her hands on her chin. A walter standing beside him asked Kite.

"Kite, I hear you're approaching from the rear of the left wing. Have you seen anything?

"Unfortunately, all I saw was smoke. It was wrapped in hazy white smoke. I don't know the shape, but isn't it a weapon that uses fire?

When Kate said so, she took one of the broken spheres in her hand. A trench is dug around the sphere. As she stroked the groove, Kate muttered as if to herself.

"It weighs a lot. If you can shoot this in with dozens of shots at high speeds, any hardliners will be able to break down. But more than that, this serves as a siege weapon. Stone throwers, tankers, etc. can be destroyed by fire arrows, stone drops, etc., but if they can be unilaterally destroyed from places where arrows cannot be reached, the common sense of castle attack will change..."

"Yes. This tool can strike from a distance where you can't even see your opponent's face. I can't forgive you. Hey. Only those who are prepared to be killed and killed are eligible to stand on the battlefield. But I don't need to be prepared for that. They attack their opponents unilaterally from the safe rear and don't even check if they're dead… they're even the least bit proud to be warriors"

The men nodded at Faranx's words. Kate was making the imagination go round.

(Tools are progress. I'm shooting such a big bullet now, but any one of them could be a small tool enough to fit in my nostalgia. If this tool became popular, the Saint Knight would no longer be needed. At least, its importance diminishes…)

Face the four who refrain behind you. The sight of my holy knights storming on horseback floats. There, hundreds of shots and balls are punched in at a rate that goes unnoticed. The Holy Knights run between the earth columns. But the sword will not arrive. Unilateral attack from afar, falling with one, again...

Gilli

Kate accidentally toothed. I couldn't forgive it. Sometimes it hurts more in battle than being a holy knight. It is acceptable if you are to be hurt in battle between the Holy Knights. I also accept receiving spears and arrows in the midst of a conflagration. But such a unilateral "killing" could never be allowed.

(This tool is dangerous. If Colle spreads, the protagonist of the battlefield becomes a tool, not a human. The power of being able to kill humans cheaply would accelerate the evolution of tools. And its power could eventually destroy the human being itself......)

We have to beat this tool. We must defeat this tool by human wisdom and power. To do this, I needed to know more about this tool first.

"General Faranx, I advance. How about a night raid tonight?

"Nhoo."

To Kate's words, the famous general smiled with joy.

There was no alarm for the Imperial Army officers, including Austro Tormakia. Despite occupying the central area of the Kabachi plain, materials must be transported from the country in order to build a full-scale bridgehead, and until then they must be protected by laying a strong line. Austro, in particular, was wary of night raids. Cannon is a powerful weapon, but it cannot be used during invisible nights. He lit a bonfire brilliantly that night and was alert to night raids.

"I'm sorry. An enemy horseback squad is imminent! That number, roughly three thousand!

Austro, jumping out of his shallow sleep, soon left the tent. I've split into platoons and made wave-like attacks of fire arrows.

"Calm down! There are a few enemies. Focus on preventing an extension!

The corrugated attack lasted a while and retreated before dawn. There were bows and arrows crossed, but sacrifices are rare.

"You played your credit for not being floated to win and being on full alert. I just shot him and left."

To the words of the Chief of the Tabernacle, Austro also nodded. Were you getting tired or were you drowsy and about to lose your mind?

"There won't be any more tonight, but don't be too vigilant. That and the allowance for the wounded..."

"Your Highness, take a moment off. From the cannon preparation to today, it has been moved with little rest. You look tired."

"Ah......"

Go into your own tent and lie down. My consciousness was immediately interrupted.

The inventor of the cannon, Lizaris Prada, rose with the sunrise. When I wash my face with Bashabasha, I go check on the damage caused by last night's night's raid. That doesn't mean we confirm the wounded. See if the cannon is scratched or if the barrel containing the gunpowder is safe. I just woke my eyes when I was attacked at night, but they told me to feel safe because I was just shooting arrows from the outside, and I fell asleep right away. I slept a good sleep myself, but the soldiers look sleepy.

The cannon is placed behind the formation. I hang cloth on each piece and store it carefully. There should be soldiers on watch, but no one because of the night raid. Then one soldier was walking between neatly placed cannons. He seemed to be lifting the cloth and checking something.

"What are you doing?

Speaking from behind, the soldier turned around in surprise and took a distance. He is a younger soldier than himself. Lizaris laughed Kerakera.

"Sorry. Sorry. I was obsessed, so I rang. Do you care about cannons?

"... cannon? Do you call this cannon?

"Hmm. You're apparently not an artillery."

"Artillery... Yeah, yeah. This battle is the first battle. I was worried about this one, which was making a loud noise, and I wanted to know. I'm sorry."

I get a really sorry look on my face. Lizaris laughed and waved.

"Iyo, Iyo, what do you want to know? Your sister's gonna teach you, okay?

The young soldier began to ask questions when he gave a horrible look. What is the principle of launching a bullet, what is the material made of, what is the range, and how do we transfer it? Lizaris, who liked to talk, was happy to talk to the pepper. The young soldier was snorting with a soft grin at his mouth, but with a sharp glance. But Lizaris, more interested in things than in humans, never noticed it.

Once asleep, the tired brain activates. Austro vaguely thought of that in his dreams. Then rapidly, discomfort surfaced. I jumped out of the water.

"Suspicious. If you're as famous as Faranx, you're as promising as this one is. And yet why have you been carrying out such a halfway night raid?

What would you do if you were in Phalanx's shoes? Austro thought a little and got to the answer.

"I would... infiltrate someone. To find out the unknown weapon!

Quickly exit the tent. Saint Knight Isis was waiting. Notice the serious look on Austro's face.

"Good morning, Your Highness.... Something?

"Hurry, gather your soldiers! Someone is infiltrating. The aim is cannons. And make sure Lisalis Prada is safe!

The Holy Knight rushed out in a hurry.

"I'm the gunpowder. Oh, be careful. 'Cause if we get the fire close, it's gonna explode."

"I see. That's interesting. From the nitrous stones you can take in the mountainous areas of the northern part of the Empire, you can do this."

"Yes, but it's difficult to produce less and be vulnerable to water. I guess the next goal is to make it usable even when it rains."

"Mr. Lizaris is a genius."

They were totally, intentionally. Gunpowder vaults are inherently top secret. The two soldiers who were guarding were with the inventor Lizaris, so that the young soldier was also put inside.

"Lord Lizaris?

There was a young woman's voice. It is the Holy Knight Isis. Lizaris turned around and introduced the man to Isis.

"Hey, Mr. Isis. I was just teaching a prospective young man a cannon. Hey, he's pretty. I want to be your assistant."

Lizaris with a smile on his face, but Isis is more eye-catching. Put your hands on the pattern of a sword lowered to your hips and stand in front of the man.

"... say your affiliation and name"

"... Ah, Your Highness Austro?

The man gave a surprised look when he turned his face behind Isis. Both Isis and Lizaris looked back unexpectedly. But there's no one there. At the next moment, Isis was feathered in his rear hand and assembled. As the man tied his arms up with rope, he stuck a dagger to his neck.

"Ki, you!

"Hey, hey, you! The ramblings..."

"Lord Lizaris. Very valuable information, thank you. So be in a good mood..."

distorted his mouth, and the man shrugged. Isis bit the monkey and held him hostage, and the man left the gunpowder depot. Lizaris had a stunning view of himself afterwards.

Men surround Isis held hostage. But with his arms tied, he has a dagger stuck around his neck. Knowing that his holy knight was being held hostage, Austro raged.

"Fuck! Isis now, the power of the Holy Knight cannot be unleashed. It's just a lady knight. Did they poke you there!

What the rendezvous Austro saw was the mention of his precious saint being bitten by a monkey and tied up, being held hostage in a man's arms.

"Stay away from me. Okay? Take more than ten steps away!

"All of you, do as Soitz says!

Austro yells. The soldiers got their distance while surrounding them. As Austro advanced to the ten critical steps, he faced the man.

"My name is Austro Tormakia. Let's hear your name."

"... my name is kite. Well, you're the Austro."

"... Are you the man who was leading that horseback riding squad?

I wasn't sure about Austro because I didn't see his face. But the man at the head of the horseback squad and the man in front of him overlapped with clarity. Kate rubbed her tied up Isis chest gnarly, as provoked. Austro's face was distorted.

"Austro Tormakia. Woman's hobby is going to suit me. Good lady."

"... what do you want. You think you can get away with this!

"Whoa, stay away from me, okay? I don't want to kill such a good woman, either. There are two demands. Prepare the horses first. And promise me you'll get me home safe. Bet your honor."

"What? So, where's the guarantee that you'll let Isis go?

"There isn't. But I swear on my honor, too. If you bring me back safely, I'll let her go."

………

Austro gave him a remorseful look. A soldier ran up there and whispered something. Hearing that, Austro nodded.

"Didn't you kill Lisalis Prada?

"I didn't run out of cannons when I killed them. Besides, I don't want to kill as many women as I can."

"... you're a sweet guy"

Austro smiled. At the same time, the man in front of me was rapidly spared.

"What do you say, Kite and I do. Why don't you join my Tabernacle like this? It's called a tactic that deceived us with an oligarchy, it's called the audacity of coming in alone, it's brilliant. You promise to live more than the kingdom?

"I hate it, but I hate a weapon called a cannon. Besides, my woman is waiting for me. I say no."

Austro sighed. Laughing at Hung and his nose, he gave instructions to the soldiers.

"... Everybody, put down your weapons. And get the horses ready. Let him go Soitz."

"Your Highness!

Everyone panics. But once again, Austro was desperate. Kate reached the exit of the formation as she pulled Isis over. One horse, waiting. Exchange your gaze with Austro.

"... I keep my word. Bye."

Push the dong and Isis. When I jumped on the horse in a hurry, I started running. Soldiers stare at bows at the same time. But Austro stopped it.

"No. That man, it's a shame to let him die with an arrow..."

I narrowed my eyes and looked behind me as I ran away.
