24 – Episode 24. The Lunarien army hides itself from the world

* * *

In front of the gate of Zeeland Castle.

Gustav, leader of the Raven mercenaries, and Aaron, leader of the Chilean mercenaries, were exchanging their final greetings with Luna in front of her.

“Then, please take good care of our soldiers.”

At Luna’s words, Gustav bowed his head and said.

“It’s okay if you don’t use honorifics.”

“For the time being, he is no longer a feudal lord.”

Gustav made a bitter expression after hearing those words, but then spoke in a serious tone.

“Someday, when Lunarien appears again on the stage of history, I will definitely come to help.”

“Please stay healthy until that moment.”

Aaron also bowed his head and showed respect.

“Okay then.”

“See you again, Lunarien.”

Just like that, the two leaders went their separate ways with their respective troops.

The mercenary group’s troops included approximately 70% of the existing Lunarien army’s troops, with each half added to the force.

Among the soldiers, those who wished to be discharged from the military were given consideration so that they could remain as territorial citizens, and the rest were all people who wanted to make a living as soldiers, so they would probably be able to adapt well even if they belonged to a mercenary group.

There are approximately 3,000 soldiers remaining.

This was the number that would accompany Luna to the south of the continent until the end.

Considering everything including food and movement speed, if you carry more than this, the speed slows down exponentially.

Luna thought as she saw off her leaders.

Since she was trained under Tifa, she will be able to function well as a soldier to some extent –

For some reason, I remembered Swen’s voice hinting to me while watching the soldiers training in her barracks.

‘Swen…….’

If you trust me, I will put the world in your hands in return.

Can I really build a country again?

I survived…… Will it be possible to settle down again in a new territory?

She closes her eyes slightly, and decides to never ask that question again.

I will be able to do it.

I will unconditionally believe what Swen says.

Because Swen said so, I can do it.

“Master. Preparations for departure are complete.”

“Ah…”

Kane’s voice was heard urging Luna as she was organizing her thoughts.

Two generals and 3,000 troops.

Was it a coincidence that the size of our army was the same as before meeting Swen?

At that time.

Tifa said, scratching her head.

“Well, really. I’m worried.”

“What’s going on?”

Tifa bowed her head at Luna’s words, then clicked her tongue and spoke.

“…Is this really the best? Is it really the right thing to do to leave a corrupt child like Swen in the castle? Aren’t you just throwing her away? I really don’t like that.”

Tifa seemed to think that this was a cowardly act to save her life.

Luna said, shaking her head.

“No, Tifa. Swen told me that this path would be the answer. I trust Swen. No matter what happens.”

Tifa looked at Luna’s expression.

Her red eyes were sparkling, filled with her faith and trust.

“Well, I’m completely ignorant, so I honestly don’t know what he’s talking about, but everything he said was right, right? I guess I should believe what you say. If we don’t believe the kid who insists that we trust him, who will believe him?”

“Yes, Miss Tifa. Lord Swen has extraordinary talent. He said there would be an opportunity, and there will be an opportunity.”

After hearing Kane’s words, Tifa nodded his head.

Overwhelming trust from three people.

In Luna’s opinion, it was the only way to repay Swen.

Yes.

Then we must escape from this place as quickly as possible.

Because that was my way of repaying his faith in telling me that I would take over the world.

Luna climbed into the saddle of a horse, stood up straight in front of about 3,000 soldiers, and spoke.

“Everyone, please listen!”

This moment.

All of the soldiers were only looking at Runarien’s mouth.

“We are going to the south from now on. We may end up under another feudal lord. You can quit along the way and leave. Or, you can stay in the new territory we have settled in. However, it doesn’t matter.”

Her voice was appealing.

The spirit that naturally leads people.

Despite his small stature and somewhat weak personality…… She definitely had the look of a ‘leader’.

“If you follow me until the end… I will take responsibility for the lives of those who followed me for the rest of my life. Since you have trusted me, I will never abandon you halfway. I will not use you as a chess piece to be wasted and discarded. “I promise you that!”

Wooooo!!!

At Luna’s words, the soldiers’ shouts echoed through the sky.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the best way to boost morale as it is before a long journey.

“Everyone, please get on your horses! We’ll leave right away!”

Like that-

Luna left Zeeland Castle, her first home, behind, accompanied by Tifa, Kane, and her 3,000 soldiers.

It will be goodbye to her first bookkeeper for the time being.

Nevertheless, she had no doubt about it. I hope he will definitely come back to my side.

‘Swen. Certainly…… I will definitely stand up again. I’ll definitely see you again.’

Lunarien, the ruler of the Lunarien army, disappeared from history for a while.

* * *

A pillar near the old seat of the royal castle, prepared for the monarch.

I was sitting here, roughly leaning.

To be exact – both hands were tied to the pillar next to the seat.

On the surface, I needed to appear abandoned by Lunarien.

He was going to end up under Brans’ army anyway, but in order to explain the situation in which the castle was turned into a mess with no troops and no gold, it was a good excuse to be known as such.

And the soldier who tied me up and did various things to listen to me until the end-

He came before my eyes, knelt down on one knee and reported to me.

I thought it must have been a very strange sight for a third party to see, so I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Swen. As you ordered, I have raised a white flag on the castle.”

The white flag hung on the castle signified surrender.

I hung it in the most visible place, so there will be no needless attacks.

It was clear that if he did something like that, he would lose the public support of the people of the territory.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“And here…”

The soldier handed me a neatly folded flag.

I opened it and checked…… It was a bright light green flag that symbolized the Lunarien military.

It appears that the original flag was brought before the white flag was hung.

“What should I do with this?”

“…….”

For a moment, I thought about taking care of it myself.

The general who surrendered personally kept the flag of the defeated nation?

It was clear that it would not give a very good image to the new monarch.

“Please handle it appropriately.”

Because it was a flag that would not have much meaning for the time being anyway.

“Yes! However, if you don’t mind throwing it away… I’ll keep it for you.”

The soldier said so and took his old flag.

“Do you have any more orders?”

“No, no. Now that you are free, you can move as you please. Thank you for your hard work for our military.”

“Nothing to say. It’s something I have to do.”

After hearing those words, I looked at the soldier’s face.

When I saw that, I was able to notice it again.

This soldier was a messenger from our army who came to the monarch every time there was a war.

Seeing this, I realized that the messenger was not a system, but a real living person.

I asked him a question.

“So, neither the mercenaries nor Luna followed you?”

“Yes. Because this is my hometown. My parents and grandparents’ graves are all here, and my family is here as well. It’s a bit burdensome to move around with my family.”

“Then are you going to stay here?”

“That’s right. I’m going to take off my armor.”

The soldier who was the messenger said with a grin.

“If I keep wearing this, won’t I have to work for those Brans guys? So, I’m thinking of giving up my soldier life and going back to farming. If they try to conscript me again, I’ll just cut off my fingers.”

“I wish you wouldn’t do something like that.”

“I’m just kidding. hahahaha.”

The soldier said as he took off his helmet.

“I don’t know… I’m illiterate and I didn’t even get basic education before, let alone the academy, so I only farmed, so I don’t know much. I have no doubt that it’s a monarch like Runarien who should unify this world. I have a lot of money. “He used it to provide relief to the people of the territory without hesitation, and he did not even forcibly carry out conscription, which other leaders naturally did.”

“…….”

“So… I trust the choices of Master Luna, Master Swen, and other generals. I am confident that Master Lunarien will raise his troops again. Until then, I will do my job and live.”

I looked at the soldier’s face.

The two eyes were very clear.

He is an extra. He is neither a leader nor a C-level general. He was a level 1 soldier who could be filled by pressing the conscription button.

That kind of being was shaking my heart intensely right now.

The soldier slowly stood up while looking at me, and then bent his waist 90 degrees towards me who was tied up.

“So, until then, stay healthy, Swen. I look forward to the day when we can serve Luna together again. Then.”

“Over there.”

I caught a soldier trying to leave.

“Can I know your name?”

“Are you talking about me? My name is James. I don’t have a last name because I’m a commoner.”

It’s such a common extra-like name that it breaks your sense of the world.

Still, the universe of this soldier – a man named James – was still shining intensely.

“Please survive, Mr. James.”

James smiled after hearing what I said, and then he quickly left the castle.

Now I was the only one in the royal castle. Without a single soldier guarding the castle, I was the only one left here.

Lunarien Inian.

He was one of the common monarchs of a small, extra-weak country in the central region.

They say there is a Wanggui concept, but it took a long time.

Even among users, he is the kind of monarch that you don’t bother touching unless you plan on playing the concept.

He is not a monarch that has become a meme and is played as a hardcore concept among users, but is just one of the ABC leaders with no presence.

There was also someone here who wanted her to conquer the world.

And, my prediction was still that ‘she will become a unified monarch.’

I remembered her face.

The two eyes that shined like ruby when we danced together…….

‘We will definitely meet again.’

The important thing for me now was to survive this difficult time without being greatly disliked.

In any case, in order to return to the original world, one had to remain under the unified monarch, Runarien.

Until that day, I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I will avoid being caught in the torrent of history and dying. Certainly.

My 100-point brain will become a compass.

Now it was time to wait.

Whether I liked it or not, I had to move forward.

To welcome the person who will become the new owner.

* * *

Leading the large army of about 81,000 people was the monarch himself, Lyn Brans.

It was extremely rare for her to personally lead her troops on a march. It was not a very wise decision for a leader to roam the battlefield unless he was a combat-oriented monarch.

But she couldn’t wait any longer.

I’m about to go catch and eat the ‘incredibly appetizing’ food…… It was a bit sore to have her butt attached to Anne Castle.

At the forefront of this unit were Chell and Irene.

Originally, only one person, Chell, was to be appointed to the vanguard, but Farfalle, who had resumed his duties as a warden, repeatedly sent messages to Lin.

“Use General Irene carefully. He will definitely be of great help. At the very least, place him in the vanguard along with Chell. He is definitely not the person to guard the safe walls of Arnel Castle.”

In fact, Farfalle had advised several times in the past to use Airen in this way-

‘What does she do when she just doesn’t like something?’

She’s just a general who’s good at siege warfare. Wouldn’t she say that without her, the Brans army wouldn’t run?

Moreover, despite his reputation, it was true that he could not capture even a castle in Zeeland.

But what…… If you just fail once and don’t use it, that would be a bit of an attitude as a leader.

Thinking like that, I called Iren again.

Whether that thought was right or not – for Brans, it was like an absolute will.

Because she was the ruler of Brans County.

At that time.

“Master!”

From far away, a soldier was riding on a horse.

“What’s going on?”

Has the Lunarien military prepared something else?

As there was a man named Swen, I asked with a bit of excitement what he had prepared for such a large unit.

“On the outskirts of Zeeland Castle… There is a white flag hanging.”

“Huh?”

Of course, Rin knew what the white flag meant.

It was surrender.

And the fact that the Lunarien army, which has only one territory, raised this flag –

It meant the destruction of the Lunarien army.
