Scheduled training days. After finishing the mock earlier than expected, the Duke of Sanga asked me for my thoughts on the mock, just in case I asked.
"Right...... depending on the situation, I don't think you should think about fighting. At least, if you go for the win in numbers of one or two people, you'll definitely die. It feels like the three of you said you might be able to buy some time if you fight well."
If you think about it in Kaios' case, if you buy time, they could self-destruct. My conclusion is that we have to aim for it.
"How was Primera?
"If Primera and her deputy, knights with magic skills support those two, it could be a good battle even for a Caios opponent. Well, just saying it could be, I think it's more likely they'll kill you."
Primera and her deputy felt that it would work even when they joined the Kingsguard, but many others said it was better than the average soldier. Well, there seems to be more accuracy and individual strength in collaboration than in the past, but it wasn't a level where we could counteract Kaios.
"Does that mean we shouldn't form a liaison team?
"No, depending on your upcoming training, I think you're quite likely to survive. However, I think we need to be thorough in what we call a last resort and prioritize how we fight to escape or survive."
Tell you what, many of the Fourth Squad don't think they can fight that way. Because because there are many people of noble origin in Unit IV, I have the impression that even if their strength is inferior to that of other troops, only their pride is higher than that of others.
"I see... Tenma, what do you think it's like to say the training needed for the Fourth Unit?
To the question of the Duke of Sanga, I couldn't get my hair in.
"It's about building strength, right? The next step is to build muscle strength."
I replied. Ideally, you should at least try to escape with minimal sacrifice when you run to pieces, as you get the stamina and speed to just run off to your monster opponent, but I don't think that's possible.
"It may be heartless, but I think we should also incorporate a method of warfare that assumes sacrificing someone"
"Sure, it must be necessary...... by the way, how do you think we can fight and win?
The Duke seems to want to hear how we can win without using the "" but that's a simpler way. It's
"If you consider a unit of a squad to be three, if you can put it together with three more than Amur, Kingsguard, or Eliza's skill, the winner will rise steadily"
And that's what it is. We hunted down Kaios with those three until halfway there, and I think the biggest reason we lost was in alarm and lack of information, so if we could go beyond those three with overall strength, it would be possible to win. Well, as an avant-garde, how many pairs can you make to Amur, one of the top in this country, a Kingsguard who will be at the top of the knights in strength, a trio beyond Elsa, who has considerable strength as a wizard, combined with the Kingsguard and the Knights of the King's Capital? That's about the level, so it doesn't matter what you think of the Fourth Squad alone.
"That's... you can't. If you gather the knights of the Duke of Sanga and choose from above, you will be able to do a few pairs, but it is unclear whether they will gather enough to form a squad, and most importantly, that the forces everywhere will go down significantly."
"As for the other proposal, it's simply enough to increase the number of fights. However, the higher the number, the harder it will be to work together, and I think you will lose the speed you need for your liaison team. So is it enough to move a threesome in three teams even if you do it?
"Right. Nine people will be able to work together well depending on their training… but they must be under-represented."
If we let the nine of us act, we're running out of liaison teams this time.
"This is also a hand to make up for the number in the golem...... ah! As a matter of fact, we've been working on securing wizards who can make golems in our homes for a few years now, and we're starting to get numbers."
You thought you'd be mistaken for assuming you were counting on my golem, I added that you could have it ready in front of you right away.
"It's costly to throw away a pawn, but it's more than damaging human life"
He wouldn't want to throw the golem away and pawn it if possible, but the Duke of Sanga said with a sigh that if that were the case, he would have sacrificed the golem because his parents would be noisy if he died of noble origins, and if he did poorly, he could have meant disobedience.
"Do we have to get the Primeras to work hard on their training so that the cost of the golem is not bulky...... Primera! Time to get the crew up! In front of the Kingsguards and the Knights of the King's Capital, don't let them expose themselves to the unusual forever!
The Duke flew his sword to the knights who were still falling or sitting on the ground. But less than half of them were able to react immediately to that voice, enough not to reach twenty if they were in numbers.
"And excuse me, Duke. Fourth unit, line up!
When Primera rushed to issue the decree, the knight who had stood up earlier lent his shoulders to the knight who was still snagging, aligning what was a distortion.
"Salute Your Majesty!
Primeras saluted the king, who was just away from me and the Duke. In contrast, the King answers lightly with his hands raised.
"Come on! Salute Lord Tenma Ootri, Duke of Sanga!
Then he saluted the Duke and me, and the Duke raised his hand lightly, as did the king, and replied, but I bowed my head lightly because I did not know what to do.
Seeing as I bowed my head, Primera moved the troops towards the edge and into the break.
"Duke of Sanga, I'm sorry I said I couldn't"
"No, those guys would have been a good experience, too. Though a knight in the Duke's house, because if you belong to the Knights of a local city, you don't, for example, come to the Royal Castle. Yet he was able to wave his sword in front of His Majesty. You'll be proud of them."
When the Duke of Sanga said so, the king nodded to Eagle Deep. Up to this point, the King knows the currents.
"Your Majesty, may I have a moment?
And from here on out, it becomes a story the king doesn't know.
Behind Caesar, who spoke to the king, stands Maria and Lyle. Master Lyle didn't seem to have been asked about the future yet, and he looked the same as usual.
The king, called by Master Caesar, approached Master Caesar and Maria without showing any particular attention, although it was something not in the story he had known beforehand. And they took me out of my sight... never came back like that.
"Duke of Sanga, Tenma, I'm sorry to leave you alone. His Majesty and the Secretary of State were to be removed from their seats because of sudden errands."
Only one came back, Master Caesar said a word of apology to me and the Duke. Well, it's a play to show around.
"Nevertheless, when something happens to you about this condition, you're going to have a lot of damage to the liaison team."
"Yeah, I was talking to you about that, Tenma, but in the current situation, it's going to feel like we're going to respond with more troops or we're going to use the golem ready to throw away pawns"
"Well, that's tough... well, you should let them attend training at the Royal Castle once in a while. It would be a good stimulation for each other."
Caesar said, "You can take advantage of this so that the knights of the other nobles can join you," and he also said to Lady Lyle, who is not here, that he would try to make a suggestion next time, and walked to the one where the kings disappeared.
"Well, you won't make it happen. Reformers in particular will not want to know their power of war, and even if they let them participate, they should have a middle-sized knight."
In fact, the Duke of Sanga also brought here the fourth unit of the Knights of the City of Gunjo… knights who until not long ago had also been treated like luggage. They are just people who are not known for their strength, nor are they painful or itchy.
"Most of all, I appreciate it as far as we're concerned. Because this will make it easier for us to join our knights. If you can, I'd like you to gain a lot of strength before any other nobleman joins... it's going to be hard"
The difficulty is that it's going to take some time to build strength in Unit IV, and if you find out about this, they think the Marquis of Sammons is going to let you join them soon.
"If the Marquis Sammons listens to the liaison, he'll probably make a similar unit"
I wondered if there were any troops in this world that would give orders and such, and they do, but they're basically inefficient because the vacant average knight would serve as one.
"They used to, but they can't do much as a force, and they need quite a few horses, so there seems to be little in the name of spending cuts, etc., right now. Besides, if you have a little contact, the adventurer will take care of it. It's cheaper there."
That's what they said, and Ted came to mind first. Adventurers who use demons like Ted to carry information have the advantage of not having to replenish new knights or compensate their survivors if they arrive faster than knights travelling on horses, depending on the adventurer, and get involved in accidents and incidents on the road, because the money involved at a time may feel expensive but the means of travel are basically ahead of them. Well, there are also disadvantages such as information being stolen, but it seems more advantageous because it's just a story about not having to use adventurers for important information.
"Sometimes it's like the Wyburn disturbance and the Imperial invasion disturbance on the Houst border Berg territory, and there's a monstrous disturbance like this one. There will always be occasions when you need a unit specializing in your own liaison. With that in mind, I can't help but spend a little"
When I thought I would, a Kingsguard appeared in the square where I had trained with the Fourth Unit until earlier.
"Tenma! Because of this, I'll do it with us!
It was Jean who invited me out loud. The main force of the Kingsguard is rare today, and they all seem motivated, so if you say no, they're not going to let you get away with it. Now, Chris and Edgar are trying to get behind my back so they don't let me get away.
"The Knights of Gunjo City should also come in whenever they want to join!
When Mr. Dinn shouted that way, Primera reacted first, followed by the deputy, and then a dozen rose, but the knight from the nobility had not been able to rise except the first two.
"Well, shall I do the Primera opponent"
"Please!
Mr. Chris got Primera first and walked away from me. Following such Mr. Chris, a female knight from the Kingsguard caught the female knight from Unit IV in the same way and took him near Mr. Chris.
Seeing that the female knight of the Fourth Squad was gone, the other Knights of the Kingsguard also began to capture the Knights of the Fourth Squad, who stood one after the other.
With a refreshing grin, Mr. Edgar was only trying to do what seemed like a livestock business: take Mr. Din, Mr. Jean and Mr. Sigurd where they were waiting.
"You always say it's the same, but you've never done it in this combination, have you? It seems magical, but what do you want to do?
"I have no choice. Edgar, you'll have to deal with him later!
"No, Mr. Din, not Mr. Edgar, please get out!
"Then get the sigurd out too! Tenma, that's good!
Then I nodded, but just before I started,
(I've never done this combination before... but it's usually tough to think about, right?
I thought so, but it was a later festival. In the case of no magic, Mr. Din and I scored enough to go to the fifth or not, but when Mr. Jean joined us there, we had zero wins. If this were other than Jean, like Din and Chris, there might still be some way to do it when it comes to shielding the person and using him as a weapon, but Jean never showed such a gap and was thoroughly entwined by Din, who was given the kind of training that I just thought was bullying Jean's blow coming from behind him.
When the bullying by the elderly was over. So now Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd, plus four Primeras, came to Chris. It also struck me as if I was going to ambush you shortly after taking a breath. It was just after that bully so I didn't have the strength and was full of just defending it. Well, although the four of us were pushed and in a mood, I just said draw because I didn't give them a decision hit.
But after Jean told me the end, Chris said, "The situation is favorable, so we win" and so he said, "More than the four of us couldn't beat him, it's Chris' loss," so he and Chris hung up at a distance, but when he said, "If you have any complaints, ask Din and Jean to deal with him and then say," Chris was pulled away by Din and Jean. And he was bullied just like me.
"Though it's Chris's fault, Tenma, you can't say the same."
"Well, since we won the martial arts tournament, Chris has been in a bit of a good mood,"
Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd did not take refuge in Mr. Chris, but quietly watched Mr. Chris being hit.
"Mr. Tenma, are you okay?
"I'm tired, but I'm not hurt badly... well, are you okay?
Some injuries in training are routine tea meals, so I feel like I said it was okay except for fatigue. I gave it back, but Primera looked sorry, so she said, "Mr. Chris forced me to go with you, didn't he?" When I heard it, I nodded small as I got lost.
Then it was all Chris's fault, so when Primera said she had nothing to worry about, Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd said the same thing and encouraged it, and the female knights of the Kingsguard who watched it said the same thing. As a result,
"Why, if you survive the ghost and the haunted mess, my ratings are down!
Such as this, Mr. Chris' ratings within his unit dropped. Well, half of them are all acting like that to make fun of Chris... but I guess it's not my fault that I feel like some of them have really gone down.
"All right! That's it!
By order of Mr. Din, the training was terminated. Is it because we have a fourth unit today, or the way the Knights of the Kingsguard were in the mood looked different than usual? Because of this, the Knights of the Kingsguard can see smiles and leeway to discuss their plans after this or to be there for a laugh, whereas the Knights of the Fourth Corps looked like they had said dead bodies cumulatively, and only a deputy and a few veterans were standing.
"So, unit four... stand up... thank you"
Primera was rushing everyone to stand up and thank her when she saw the Knights of the Kingsguard begin to align. The Knights of the Kingsguard who saw it replied thoughtfully, speaking and waving, with the words of Mr. Din's dissolution, each flexing and going back inside the castle.
"Tomorrow, how many of you will be well?
"Maybe a little less than half... Of course, I'm fine."
"I think it's less. Of course, I've made up my mind."
To my doubt, Mr. Edgar laughed and said less than half, and Mr. Sigurd said less than that. You two are right, I think that's about it, too. Whatever, no matter how much the Knights of the Kingsguard outnumbered their normal knights in strength and skill, they always trained with more temper than usual, and quite a few Kingsguard knights were concerned to look good on the Fourth Unit. Normally, it wouldn't be strange to be as snarky as the Knight of the Fourth Squad.
"Well, don't. Being able to be patient is also a skill I need as a Kingsguard."
"Exactly, because you can't show weakness in front of other troops."
"Say that, both of you. Aren't you too patient?"
It was Chris who seemed patient enough to stop talking about people who had put tea in Mr. Edgar's.
"Recently, Mr. Edgar has been saying that muscle aches are coming in two days and he's having trouble, and Mr. Sigurd is concerned about hair loss, isn't he? Isn't that old? Are you close to giving up your seat to a young man?
That's what Chris says and treats the two of them as uncles... but they don't make that much difference in age from Chris. Rather, close enough to say the same age.
The two people who were treated like such an uncle by Mr. Chris were quietly angry. That was enough to squeeze my fist to tell me that blood would seep out already, and let my veins float up my forehead to tell me that blood would erupt. And Mr. Chris hasn't noticed the anger between the two of them yet.
"Hmm?"
As I watched the three of them half enjoying what would happen, Jean was making a gesture from far away telling me to do something about Chris...... smile. Returning that it was impossible, now Mr. Din started the same gesture with amusement.
"I have no choice... uh-oh, sure, today... whoa! There he is! Look, come out!
I peeked into the dimension bag I had left in the corner to meet the expectations of Jean and Din. And freed the devil (...).
"Meh?... Meh!
"First, the target is Mr. Chris... now is your chance to clear your daily grudges!
And I abetted the black demon thing 'Merry'.
For a moment, Mary set herself up to hit me, but as she waited on the verge of flying to make Chris gaze at her, Mary immediately seemed to understand what I was saying. To say that this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for Mary, who is always forced to moff and stress.
"Meh...... meh!
After Mary stared at me with a respectful eye, she rang as if to salute,
"Meh... meh, yeh, yeh!
Mr. Chris rushed forward.
"Huh? Hey, why is Mary here... don't come now -! Damn now! Forgive me now, Ihaaaaaaaaah!
Advice Mr. Chris didn't leave enough leeway to make a fool of Mr. Edgar (rather, he didn't think he'd left more than the two of them), but he was devoured and blown up on the back of his body hitting him, chased where he rolled, and Mr. Chris was savoring the pain of hell. And such Mr. Chris was laughed at by the remaining Knights of the Kingsguard. Among them, Mr. Jean and Mr. Din did not hesitate to laugh heavily, and Mr. Edgar and Mr. Sigurd had a ridiculous grin. Besides, when I heard Mr. Chris scream, the knight who went back came to see how he was doing, so the way Mr. Chris was being hit by Mary was to be seen by everyone in the Kingsguard.
"Merry, it's time to come back"
"Meh!
Mary was letting Chris crawl and try to escape, hitting and stepping on her body over and over again, and at the end of the day she looked satisfied over Chris, who stopped moving.
I didn't sneak up on calling Mary like that, but when I spoke to her to come back because it was time to go home, she unexpectedly came back honestly and went from herself into the dimension bag.
"Tenma... I didn't tell you to do that."
"Me too... or why are you bringing me here?
Mr. Din and Mr. Jean were drawn to Mary's behavior, but when he said that Mary's behavior had no choice because there were aspects of Chris's deserved, he was convinced that was true, too, and had ordered the female knight who was nearby to move Mr. Chris into the corner.
"That's why I brought Mary... Mary's guy, he was too violent in our house and he defiled my laundry, and Jeanne and the others kicked me out"
Well, it's too much to say that they kicked me out, but they pushed me into a dimension bag and deposited it with me going to the royal castle. Jeanne and the others were going to leave the mansion with me to finish redoing the laundry and other cleaning.
When I told the two of them about it, "It's a matter of keeping quiet that I was bringing them here, but there's been no damage other than Chris, so I'm going to do something I didn't see," Din told me. Exactly, it seemed a bad idea to keep quiet about what you were bringing in, but it's a missed form of not being a demon and not having a lot of damage.
"But there are conditions"
Jean, who had been struck in the ear by a knight who had finished carrying Mr. Chris, came up with exchange terms. It's
"Is this Shiloumal's moffing party? I'm sure you'll be all right if you prepare a snack of Shiloumal."
With that said, cheers were raised by the female knights of the Kingsguard and some male knights. Anything, the knights who can come as escorts for the Marias are limited among the Kingsguards, basically like Din, Jean and Chris, centered around the knights we used to meet when we came to Kukri Village, and even if every once in a while other knights were in charge, they were often waited outside or returned to the Royal Castle once.
For this reason, the animal knights, like Chris, are envious of Chris, who can come into contact with Shiloumal and Mary at any time, and Chris, who knows it, boasts of the fur of Shiloumal and the comfort of Allie's embrace.
"Hmm?... oh, let me tell you that too"
As I was discussing the scheduled date for the Moffle party with Mr. Din, the female knight was also earing at Mr. Jean.
"Tenma, its a moffing party, but Chris wants it banned. It doesn't matter, does it?
So he nodded instantly. However, on condition that Mr. Chris be contained and that the Mofflers bear the burden of progression and security, a voice of understanding was immediately heard.
A few days after the training, Ms. Edgar told the Shiloumar and Mary moffing party about a report that an unidentified masked figure (the word of a security knight) tried to sneak into the venue, was discovered and chased around by the knights, but escaped, and then he didn't know where he was going...... but that one person was left in the Kingsguard's holding room and many sheets were placed on Chris's desk, who was supposed to have been paperwork done.
