"Well, what is it?"
Sarma again looks at strangely when I ask him. He looks a little troubled and opens his mouth.
"Normally, those who are dispatched by the king's order carry a letter from the king. ......"
"It was an urgent matter. ......"
Escalina opens her mouth from behind . Sarma looks in her direction with a smile on his face.
"I was ordered to leave imdiately, so I ca here without any further ado."
After all these years, Escalina's voice is beautiful. It's kind of heartwarming. Sarma seed to feel it, too, as his smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a serious expression.
"Indeed ....... This is not a normal ti. I am very sorry."
With that, he bent at the waist and bowed.
"Well then, let show you to the Commander-in-Chief.
With that, he began to walk away.
◆◆◆
Soon after, the camp curtain ca into view. This must be the main camp. Sarma entered the camp without hesitation. The inside of the camp was surprisingly complicated, and we had to go around and around several tis. I don't mind, but I am afraid that we might lose ti if an urgent ssenger cos, but, well, I will say nothing here.
A ssenger from Agartha has arrived.
Suddenly, we found ourselves in what appeared to be a large open space. There were three n sitting in a mountainous formation. The one at the far end was probably the commander-in-chief.
Sarma walked up to the man sitting in the back and knelt down on one knee.
"A ssenger from Agartha?"
The man has a dubious look on his face. At first glance, the man looks cold. He looks sowhat like Sarma. Could it be his father?
"Yes. I have a letter from Agartha offering wisdom. The wisdom has arrived.
"So, the joke of a letter was from Agartha. ......"
"Father ......"
He said, "Father. I knew it was my father. I wondered if this boyish commander would beco like that in the future. Then the commander-in-chief stood up and ca over to us with a big step.
"What is your na?"
"My na is Kenshin."
"Kenshin? That's a funny na."
Are you kidding ? No, I was being serious. It's a pity you can't understand it.
I notice that the Commander-in-Chief is looking at Siddee and Escalina, who are standing behind , as if to lick them.
"Oh, this is Siddee, and this is Estalia.
After my introduction, both of them slowly bow their heads.
"Are these ...... won?"
"Yes, sir."
Why don't you show your face? Why don't you show your face?
"No, it's ...... a matter of circumstance."
"Circumstances? I don't know what your reasons are, but I am the commander-in-chief of this army. It is impolite to greet you with your face hidden. Or is such rudeness a common practice in Agartha?"
"Well, it's a country that doesn't care about details."
"Humph, this is a country where a man from slavery is the master. They know nothing of courtesy.
"Well, the king is, but his wife is the daughter of the previous emperor of the Heedata Empire and the sister of the current emperor. She is beautiful, graceful, and well versed in all the rituals. As long as she is around, I don't think they will do anything too bad. ...... Hmm? What?"
Sadie's behind , tugging at my hem. You want to say sothing about myself, not just about Rico?
At that mont, Escalina opens her mouth.
"Let's go ho."
"......"
"I have no right to help such a rude man."
"What did you just say?"
A blue streak appeared on the Commander-in-Chief's brow. What the hell are you talking about? .......
"We are here at the behest of the king of Agartha, and we cannot tolerate such disrespectful behavior. To speak out against us is the sa as speaking out against Agartha. We take it as the word of the Seyfant Empire. We must imdiately turn around and inform the King of Agartha and the Emperor of the Heedata Empire. Perhaps Agartha, Heedata, Niza, Lamaron, Hladi, Sandanj......, and the Church of Crimiana will also turn against the Seyfant Empire."
"...... wait and see."
The Commander-in-Chief's face is contorted. He has been hit where it hurts. It was Matkal who said that a commander should not show his emotions as much as possible, but it was fortunate for him that she was not here. If she had been there, he would have been lectured to the point where he could not stand.
"No, I was too harsh. I take back what I said before."
With a look of bitterness on his face, the Commander-in-Chief sat back in his chair. As if he had been waiting for this, a man standing by his side stood up and gave instructions to the soldiers with a hand gesture. Imdiately, soldiers appeared with chairs and urged us to sit on them.
No, welco to our eting. I am Ruwand, chief of staff of the Seyfund Imperial Army. You are right to be suspicious of , Commander-in-Chief. We had estimated that it would take at least two more weeks for reinforcents and emissaries from Agartha to arrive. We had not expected them to arrive so soon. ......"
"If it takes that long, the battle will be over."
When I lowered my voice a little, it seed to have a surprisingly positive effect. The man who called himself Ruwando looked clearly frightened, and with a wry smile, he sat down in the chair he had been sitting in.
"So, you say your na is Mister Kenshin?"
Suddenly, the commander-in-chief opens his mouth. He strokes his beard with his right hand and looks at as if he is trying to gauge my worth.
"King Agartha said that you would lend us your wisdom, but what kind of wisdom exactly can you lend us?
Well, we'll have to wait and see.
"I see. If you have any questions, you may ask . Well, there are so things I can't tell you, but I will tell you what I know. I look forward to hearing your wisdom.
"Father ......"
Sarma interrupts, unable to see. The Commander-in-Chief glanced at him, but quickly returned his gaze to .
"Well, there's one thing I'm not sure about, and I'd appreciate it if you could tell what it is. ......"
"Well, whatever you say."
"Would you be so kind as to tell us your na?"
"......"
The Commander-in-Chief's brow wrinkled. At that mont, the curtain behind the Commander-in-Chief sprang up, and a soldier ca running toward him at full speed.
"Sir!"
"What?"
"Elsmo's army is on the move!"
"What?"
The commander-in-chief stands up and opens his mouth to the soldiers who are waiting for him, breathing on his shoulders and lying prone on the spot.
"What is the position of the army of El Salvador?"
"They will probably arrive here in about half a day."
"Half a day?
"We thought that they would probably enter Lien, the capital of NONO, because of the size and slow speed of their army, but they suddenly increased their speed before Lien. Now 20,000 of Elsmo are rushing toward the castle of Khaza."
"That's not good. So the NONOs surrounding Castle Khaza are going to attack us more ......?"
The commander-in-chief looked like he was thinking about sothing, but then quickly turned his attention back to .
"If that's where you're coming from, what do you say?"
...... You're asking out of the blue.
