Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Prince Arnold led the Knights of the Guard and was leading the battle against Maria's SS. The entire Grand Fram Army was desperate to rebuild the formation destroyed by the Great Alexandros Empire bombardment.

If you attempt to retreat a unit out of the cannon's range, the bombardment will be fired in the retreat direction to prevent it. The phenomenon of an iron ball flying from the sky and exploding at a tremendous rate was such that even soldiers who knew magic could panic.

Nevertheless, the leader of the Great Alexandros Empire sorties as the commander tries to calm down the upsetting soldiers, give directions, and retreat.

Attacked while turning his back to retreat, the Royal Army of Granfram falls into havoc.

In order to remedy the situation, he ordered to send reinforcements to the front line, preparing for some sacrifice.

"... the movement is strange"

Frederic Knight commander commanded a move to move the separate army and muttered Bosori.

"A messenger! 伝 え Give your instructions again! 出 Put 10,000 on the front line to support the retreat of the preceding unit!"

Commander Marcus Knight also noticed that the separate army was performing differently from the order, and instructed the messenger to give the order again.

"... No! Marcus! That is a betrayal!"

"Now !?"

Instead of heading for the front line, about a quarter of the separate workers are retreating. It's not just retreating, it's trying to get behind the team.

"Forcibly retreat the front line! Merge and break through the rear!"

About 10,000 troops are trying to get behind. Now, the same 10,000 remains in the main team. It will cause some damage, but you can do it if you want to break through.

But Commander Frederick Knights speculate that there is something in the Great Alexandros Empire. There is no point in betraying and just preventing the back. If you betray the same, there should be better timing.

And this bad feeling comes true.

"What did you say……"

The Great Alexandros Empire's new weapon, the cannon, which was attacking allies on the front line, turned its sights, and the headquarters, which also began to shoot backwards.

The Great Alexandros Empire had hidden its real range. In addition, the number of shells flying is also much higher than before.

"I see, pinch shooting?"

The Great Alexandros Empire is closing in behind, trying to bring the Grand Flam Royal Army closer to the capital city. Then the attack is done with a gun.

This would require an enormous number of artillery and shells, but the Great Alexandros Empire has shown it.

He is trying to stop the heart of the Grand Flam Kingdom in this battle.

"... Even after the explosion, 10,000 enemies are waiting. The rest of the armed forces ... whether or not."

The remaining 30,000 of the separate army cannot see any movement. Despite the betrayal of 10,000, you cannot go through the shelling rain. The same is true if you move forward. This time just aim with a gun. There is no intention to fight against all enemies in preparation for that, and the separate army, a collection of aristocratic armies, does not.

"What do you want to do? If you don't fight as it is, you could lose your strength."

The shells fired at the rear have shifted their position and are approaching the headquarters. At least it is not allowed to stay still.

"... I'll lose"

When asked by Frederick, the commander of the Knights of the Guard, King Grande Flam returned without words.

"If this goes on"

"Is there a reversing hand?"

"... I can't do it unless I manage new weapons."

The misfortune for the Grand Flam Kingdom is that he now does not know what the artillery that is attacking them is. If you needed bullets like a catapult and you knew that they were still limited, you might have come up with the option of waiting for them to run out.

However, doing so will certainly cost you a lot of money. The Great Alexandros Empire has enough shells to do just that.

"Is there nothing?"

"In this battle"

In other words, flee this place, says Captain Frederick Knight.

"That's only if we can leave the fighting power."

The escape path is blocked to escape. And when it comes to withdrawal, the Great Alexandros will definitely pursue. Withdrawal battles are difficult. Soldiers are losing their will to make it difficult to maintain their military form.

"I will leave my lord."

"Hmm ... but who is leading?"

"I"

"what?"

There is no chance that this hall will survive. That's obvious to Frederic Knights. He volunteered on it.

"The Lord is not just abandoning his life. If he dies at the end, he must live a little longer and stop pursuing the enemy a little longer. Am I right? "

"……Really"

As Frederick Knight said, he couldn't be left to a half-hearted person. The Grand Flam Kingdom has almost all its troops assembled here. Even if you retreat, it is only Bandeau that you can barely say a safe zone. It takes a month and a half, usually two months, no matter how hurry to reach Bandu. He must earn enough time to escape during that time.

"Can you leave it?"

"I want to hear one. Do you think you can't win anymore?"

"... this battle"

"Don't be deceived. If you can win the next battle, and if so, you're going to live to make it happen."

King Grande Fram and Frederic Knights have a long relationship. We know each other's ideas well.

"... I can't imagine how to win."

"So, who would you think?"

"It's Your Highness."

In response to King Granfram's inquiry, Frederick Guard Knight replied without delay.

"... Is it my name here?"

This is the first time that Frederick Guard Knight has treated Rion as a royal family.

"I'm dying. I want to be honest with my feelings at the end."

I wanted to serve Lion. I wanted to know what you could see. It is the thought of Frederic Guard Knight.

"But there's no Frey. Then ..."

Show the behavior of King Grand Flam. It's only a short time.

"Advance the headquarters. Come and follow Konoe."

With a determined look, King Granfram declared himself on the front line.

"Your Majesty?"

"I'm not into the wild world. You said this."

"But if there is any chance for His Majesty"

Although there is a chance, in this case, there is one that is safer.

"Arnold takes over. That's a bit more devious than me. From now on, Arnold's will will be the will of the Grande Fram. Wouldn't it be more of a future?"

King Granfram is prepared to die, leaving the next generation to Prince Arnold. Whether this is a sense of responsibility as a king or, on the contrary, a fleeing responsibility is unknown to Frederic Knight Commander Knight. Only strong will was felt.

"... Is it okay?"

"Frederick !?"

In a hurry, Commander Marcus Knight calls out. It is suicide by anyone.

"The Knights lead the way with the remaining army, and then follow Arnold's instructions."

"Your Majesty !? What are you talking about?"

Commander Marcus Knight is not convinced of the words of King Granfram. However, King Glanfram's determination remains unchanged. He opened his mouth straight to the Commander Marcus Knight.

"The King of Granfram has a duty to defend itself in the event of a crisis and defend the country. Turning his back here is the same as abandoning the seat of the King of Granfram. Marcus, dying me as King of Grandfram Please let me know. "

"... Your Majesty"

I'm not convinced. However, King Granfram said so far that Commander Marcus Knight could not say anything.

"Frederick, draw a horse!"

"already"

In front of the commander of the Knights of the Guard, Frederick is a horse-riding horse dedicated to the king, who is approached by a knight who is approaching by a knight.

While the horse is in front of him, King Granfram prepares for the start.

"The Knights of the Guards!

The voice of the commander of the Knights of the Knights of Frederick echoed to the headquarters. The guard guard knights were riding and began to line up in front of the main team.

Prior to that, King Grandephram and Frederick Guard Knight, who have completed preparations, will step forward with a horse.

"Take your Majesty as close to the castle gate as possible! 近 The guards, the Knights of the Guards! It's time to fulfill that role! 励 Encourage everyone!"

"" Ooh! ""

The battle between King Granfram and the Knights of the Guard begins, betting on life.

◇◇◇

If King Grand Flam's flag stands, then King Grand Fulham will be there. Attackes of the Great Alexandros Empire concentrated on a group of equestrians on the front line.

First of all, the rate of hit against moving enemies is extremely low. Until now, it seemed accurate to fire because it had previously determined the position of the fire and guided the Grand Flam Army there. The cavalry, led by King Granfram, entered the artillery range with little damage.

From here it will be a difficult battle. Great Alexandros soldiers have concentrated their attacks, while few units approach for support.

The remaining troops are in the fight to secure their exit, as instructed. Some aristocratic troops were in support, and the rest were already withdrawing.

Many troops on the front line tried to defend the king, but the king refused. Retreat if you can afford the support and relocate to the commander of the Knights. These orders were brought by the messenger.

There is also a reason for the king not to need reinforcements.

"Be patient! Withstand and attract as many enemy soldiers as you can!"

The voice of Frederic Guard Knights is echoing. Despite ordering his men, Frederic Knights' Commander keeps out any swarm of enemy soldiers. He proved that the title of the strongest warrior of the Grand Flam Kingdom was not Date.

The other guard knights are, as expected, trained by Frederic Guard Knights. There is no sign of lagging against many enemies alone. It is the momentum that he will win as it is.

Of course, this is because the Great Alexandros Empire has not yet entered full-scale warfare. Most of the soldiers you deal with are slave units.

"They are the inhabitants of the royal capital! Don't you think of killing the people of your own country?"

Maria is shouting sneaky words from a distance. The more you have to do that, the more you are threatened by the strength of the Guard Knight.

"Everyone who tries to harm His Majesty is an enemy! Don't forget the mission of the Guard Knight!"

The Knights who are about to be afraid of Maria's words regain their momentum with the words of Frederic Knights. The partner you serve is not a country but a person. The guard's attitude was helpful in this case.

"No need to go out! Your Majesty will soon begin singing! ら れ Leave!"

Suddenly, the commander of the Knights of the Knights Guard Frederick addressed Prince Arnold. Prince Arnold, trying to rush to support, heard the words of Frederic Knight, and stopped his unit.

"Are you sure?"

Lambert asked loudly, amazed at Prince Arnold's suspension.

"... It's too late."

"I'm still in time! Isn't the Majesty's Guard Knights pushing !?"

"No, your Majesty intends to use the last magic."

"No way ..."

Lambert, a guard knight, naturally knows the meaning of the word magic. The ultimate magic transmitted to the royal family, what could be done with this?

"I'm down in a hurry. It's impossible to get rid of the blood of the Grande Flam at this time."

"... Huh"

Prince Arnold glances at the commanding Guard Knight. King Granfram, who was supposed to be near him, was hidden behind a human and could not be seen. He bowed lightly to his invisible father, and ran his horse with his horsehead facing east.

Eventually, their own shadows grow in the direction of travel. It's not the sun's shadow. The ultimate magic of the Grande Fram was activated.

A huge mass of fire appears, illusioning that the sun has fallen to the ground, and swallows the surrounding soldiers. A widespread attack magical grand flam [great flame] that burns out everything involved. This is the ultimate magic of the Grand Fram royal family.

The Great Alexandros Imperial Army, which was on the sortie, was swallowed by the fire. That's not all. The huge blistering flames are about to swallow even the walls of the Imperial City.

As expected, the wall did not burn and kept the flame from expanding, but it was not free on the wall. Many soldiers are engulfed in flames, and explosions are triggered by the explosives igniting the explosives placed on the walls.

The ultimate magical grand flam was as powerful as protecting the country. Because of this magic, the Grand Flams were elected kings.

-Less than a thousand survived the battlefield after the disappearance of the magic. Even that was with Maria's defense magic.

◇◇◇

The Great Alexandros Empire, which caused more than 20,000 casualties with the inclusion of slaves, killed King Granfram rather than killed himself. And the Grand Flam Army was retreating, and it seems they won.

During the audience in the Imperial City Castle, a provisional prize for achievement was held. There is a reason for rushing the Nongong Award.

"Patrick Ivan, honoring this achievement and awarding me the status of the Great Alexandros Empire."

The award was given to a former nobleman of the Winheels kingdom and one of the nobles who betrayed the Grand Flam kingdom. Complete the action for the traitor. This was the reason for rushing the Nongong Award.

"I'm afraid to ask your Majesty."

Despite being awarded, Viscount Patrick's expression is dark. I am dissatisfied with the content.

"……What?"

I know what Patrick Viscount wants to say. I know Lancelot is in love.

"I would like to return my daughter as a merit of this war."

"Daughter ... Oh, you're a daughter coming to service, first because you've heard her own wishes."

"Why !? Parents are asking you to return home!"

Asking aloud, Viscount Patrick knows why. It is nominal, such as a servant, and is actually treated as a hostage.

"However, wasn't it originally a substitute for debt repayment to give her daughter to service? I only worked for a few years as a maid, and it wouldn't have been worth the money."

"that is……"

He makes a huge debt and picks up his wife, daughter and, in some cases, his son as a servant. Lariats, rather than Lancelot as a hostage, is moving many nobles as they wish. Much of the betrayal this time, like the Patrick Viscount, is that Maria was ordered to be a hostaged nobleman.

"I can't afford to return."

"So, can you at least meet your daughter?"

"that is……"

This is Lancelot's turn in words. Few people really work in castles as magistrates. Many are sent to prostitutes. Viscount Patrick tells me to see him, knowing this.

"Are you not allowed to see me?"

"... It may not be possible soon, but let's make arrangements."

The answer is both the sweetness and tenderness of Lancelot.

"Her Majesty. He now governs much of the former kingdom of Grand Fulham. Shouldn't the king of the great power rule the country with charity, not fear?"

This is the true purpose of Viscount Patrick. Lancelot has captured most of the former Grand Flam Kingdom. Now, even against Lancelot, nothing can be done. If so, as a minister, you have no choice but to guide Lancelot in the right direction.

You have to be a king with the right heart, who hates sneaky imitations such as threatening with hostages.

"I know that, but to make something new, you have to break old things. It takes rigor."

"The old thing has already broken. King Grandfram is dead and the elite Knights of the Guards have been martyred. It is unlikely that the kingdom will return to the former kingdom."

"... maybe it is"

Lancelot's line of sight turns to Mary sitting next to her. Maria, unaware that she is staring at Lancelot, stares at Viscount Patrick in the form of a demon.

I know that Viscount Patrick is implicitly criticizing himself.

"Walk on the right path. That is what the ministry wants, so that His Majesty will gather the loyalty of many. That is the time when His Majesty will make a name in the history as a champion. is"

In past correspondence, Viscount Patrick felt a slight response. Lancelot still has some highlights. The cause of the problem is Maria.

If only Maria could be kept away from Lancelot. This is a common thought among loyal members who want to manage the Great Alexandros Empire.
