Chapter 1: 1

Episode 1: The Beginning

 

    Spring 937 of Belgicudo calendar.

 

　Among the countless countries that existed on the continent of Purique, there was a mediocre country with no particular strengths, the Kingdom of Sanchest.

 

　In addition, one of the countries bordering on that kingdom was the Great Empire of Balbes.

 

　The Empire of Balbes was three times smaller in terms of land than the Kingdom of Sanchest, and its military scale was three times larger.

 

　The borders of the kingdom were violated almost every year.

 

　Despite this, the empire was unable to defeat the Kingdom of Sanchest for ten years.

 

　This is because the Kingdom of Sanchest had the strongest magic corps known to other countries.

 

　Its name is Fire Dragon Magic Corps.

 

　Although the Fire Dragon Magic Corps is a group of about 100 members, it has been active as an independent army on a fierce and inferior battlefield, and has left many glorious achievements.

 

　Just hearing the name of the Fire Dragon Magic Corps from another country’s army made even commander-level soldiers tremble with tension, and cold sweat ran down their foreheads.

 

　And voices of uneasiness leaked out among the soldiers, and there were many fugitives.

 

　The common understanding among the armies of other countries was to stay away from the Fire Dragon Magic Corps.

 

　The Fire Dragon Magic Corps is trusted by the citizens of its own country, the Kingdom of Sanchest, and is said to be a group of heroes.

 

　Each and every one of the 100 members of the Fire Dragon Magic Corps is a powerful force, but it is said that the three vice-captains are also a threat.

 

　Houth Van Aubert.

 

　He is a spear master who stands out even among the corps.

 

　Furthermore, magic abilities such as fire and wind are added to the tip of the spear in order to pierce through a large enemy army.

 

　Allison Boletre.

 

　It is said to be able to manipulate a thousand magic spells.

 

　Of course, it is also possible to attack.

 

　She created more than 1,000 golems to shield her comrades from the attacks of a large enemy army and was attacked. She also healed the wounded with magic.

 

　Russet Stein.

 

　Based on his knowledge as a former thief, he is good at creating traps and espionage using magic and disintegrates a large enemy army on the march.

 

　If someone were forced to point out their flaws as vice-captain, it would be that they are too quirky.

 

　The man who made them obey him with strong habits was a man named Allen Shepard, the commander who created the army from scratch.

 

　It is well known that he is a half-elf who is a mixture of elves and humans, who are said to be long-lived.

 

　Although he was in his late forties, he looked like a boy in his mid-teen, with a silvery-white hair, which is typical of elves.

 

　As for his abilities…the abilities of the vice-captains are widely known, but few people know about them.

 

　Therefore, many people wonder why he is sitting in the position of leader, and why the highly skilled vice commanders are following his orders.

 

　Even so, Allen was undoubtedly the leader of the Fire Dragon Magic Corps, which the people revered as a group of heroes.

 

　However, something seemed different that day.

 

　This is a straight road that leads to the Benades Wall, which is called the eastern gate of the Kingdom of Sanchest. The road was lined with horse-drawn carriages.

 

　Inside the carriage was a guy with his hand and feet locked in a Jute bag.

 

　A man in gold armor and six men in steel-colored armor sat around him.

 

“Lubaga-sama. Was this guy… leaking defense information outside the country?”

 

　One of the men in steel-colored armor, a man with brown hair and a shaved head, looked at the man in golden armor…Lubaga ranked.

 

　Lubaga nodded in response to that question.

 

“Ah, that’s right. He made a lot of money by leaking defense information abroad. That’s why this country is invaded every year by the empire and neighboring countries. I hear that he will be pardoned and deported.”

“Such a big villain… an amnesty for a bandit…”

 

“… it’s already been decided. You shouldn’t object to the king’s decision.”

 

“I’m sorry. Forgive my rudeness.”

 

“Just pretend you didn’t ask.”

 

“Thank you very much”

 

“Well… he’s a hated national bandit. I also have some thoughts about this decision.”

 

“So, is it. But, I could understand why he were transported like this.”

 

“That’s good. Hmm, looks like we’ve just reached the Benades Walls.”

 

　As Rubaga said, their carriage reached the Benades Walls.

 

　Then, after some formalities, the gates of the Benades Walls were opened. The carriages passed through the gates and went out of the country.

 

　The carriage was stopped just outside the gate. Then, from the carriage, a man wearing a Jute bag with his legs unlocked was kicked by men in steel-colored armor and pushed outside.

 

“A bandit!”

 

“Hey! Get out of the Sunchest Kingdom!”

 

“Don’t come back, bandit!”

 

“Die you ugly!”

 

“Die!”

 

“Get out, I will never allow you to enter the Kingdom of Sanchest again!”

 

　Lubaga saw the man wearing Jute bag being kicked to the ground by men in steel-colored armor, and he laughed a little.

 

　And then, approaching the man wearing a Jute bag, he looked down with a fearless smile and muttered softly.

 

“Heh, you were called a hero because you were a half-elf… Allen, you deserve it.”

 

　Lubaga ripped off the man wearing a Jute bag… it was Allen under the Jute bag.

 

　Allen looks like mid-teens.

 

　Slightly drooping eyes but well-organized features.

 

　Right now, he still has his youthfulness and his cuteness prevails, but… years from now, he will probably be handsome enough to turn the heads of many women.

 

　It was so beautiful that her peculiar silvery-white hair could be seen shining.

 

　His height was around 150 centimeters, and although he was slender, his body looked like it had well-trained muscles.

 

“…”

 

“Hmm”

 

　Allen, who suddenly had his hemp bag removed, looked dumbfounded and didn’t say anything. Lubaga saw this and snorted once and removed his handcuffs.

 

　Then, Lubaga and the men in steel armor quickly returned to the carriage and retreated into the gate.

 

　Allen slowly opened his mouth as he saw off the leaving carriage.

 

“…The handcuffs have come off, so you’re finally able to use your ears and mouth?”

 

　Allen looked around while rubbing his handcuff-marked wrists.

 

　Then he shook his head in confusion.

 

“This is the Benades Wall, right? What is it? Why is it here?”

 

　That’s right… Allen has just been deported from the country.

 

　He was the leader of the Fire Dragon Magic Corps, Allen Shepard, who was treated as a hero by the citizens of the Kingdom of Sanchest.

 

　How did he come to be like this?

            It goes back four days earlier.
