"Mister Hendriksen, is the knight of [lightning] strong?"

"Mister Zen, are you sure you don't want to let Barka fight a duel of some sort? If you let him fight in a duel, it would be very dangerous for him to lose his life, wouldn't it?

"The Orientals are absolute when it comes to orders from above. Since Commander Alphonse has come forward and asked for a fight, there are only a few people who can stop him."

"......Who can stop it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think Chairman Ai would be able to stop him. Commander Alphonse seems to be open to Chairman Ai's opinion.

"......, but that chairman would not be here. I don't think that the Congress in the Orient can stop what is happening here."

　Duel in the main camp of the Perian army.

　The battle between Barca and Cecil the Knight of Thunderbolt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To watch the battle, the two were surrounded by Purge soldiers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing this, the people around them also did the same, perhaps in unison.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition to the Purge soldiers, Orient soldiers and even Perian soldiers surrounded the two men from a distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, a position was set up for the two men in the center to watch the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised that such a thing could happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In an ancient dueling drama, such a situation might have been possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this is reality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had never imagined that after all the wits and tactics of each army, a duel would take place like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that not only I but also the others were taken in by the atmosphere.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of them is Mr. Zen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is a young mercenary who is also a subordinate of Lord Barca and has been chosen to lead several hundred soldiers in the Orient Army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such a young mercenary, Lord Zen, came to talk to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of answering the questions that he asked me, I unintentionally threw a question back at him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, as a matter of course, do we have to stop them?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was wondering if the outcome of both armies could be decided by a duel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Mr. Zen did not seem to have any intention to stop Mr. Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He also said that he cannot stop himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is that so?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know all of his personality, but I have a feeling that he would listen to me even if my opinion is coming from below.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it may be difficult to stop the decision of Lord Barka as a matter of discipline in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only the chairman of the Orient Assembly can do that, Mr. Zeng asserts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The chairperson is a woman named Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have heard many stories and gathered information for my own reference in the course of my work as a town administrator, and from what I have heard, she seems to be a very capable person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seems to be a very capable person from what I have heard, because she has been able to keep the Orient functioning in a situation that should be more difficult than that of the Purge City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I did not know that the chairman is a person who can make Lord Barka, who is in control of the army, listen to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this mean that the Orient is now being run by a person who is strongly influenced by the boy, Lord Barca, but who is also able to control him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel that I have obtained unexpectedly good information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if there is any way to communicate with the chairman, Mr. Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sure that it would be beneficial for me and for Purge City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sure that the Chairman Ai can stop it if he wants to. The fact that he would not do so is not a problem. More importantly, it's a lightning bolt, Mr. Hendriksen. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before. How strong is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You mean Cecil, the knight of [lightning]. This is the first time I have seen him with my own eyes. But I have heard of his strength many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The movement around them is not over yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may take some time, since even the Perian soldiers have stopped their counterattacks and changed their positions to watch the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seemed that the two men were not ready to fight right away either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are standing quietly in the center, glaring at each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now is there a little time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I decided to tell you what I know about Cecil, the knight of the Thunderbolt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that he is from the Soma Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whether this is true or not, I do not know for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is true that the words he just spoke seemed to have less accent of a small group of nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that a person from the Somaic countries has learned and used our language.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems to me that this may be true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, it came to be rumored that the mercenaries in pure white armor who were active on the battlefield came from the Church of Soma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he was very strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So strong, in fact, that he was said to be able to change the course of the war all by himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was often said as if he were a warrior of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　High physical ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And special armor and a special great sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They also said that he possessed a power called [lightning], which he actually displayed on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why they call him "Thunderbolt".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cecil the Knight of Thunderlight is a male priestess of the Church of Soma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A male priestess?　What is that?　I think the priestess was a great person in the Soma cult, as I recall."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Soma cult is a religion that worships the god Soma. The priestesses are supposed to be able to use forbidden spells in accordance with the god Soma. Naturally, these priestesses are said to have magical power comparable to that of nobles or royalty in other countries, but they are all women. It is said that Cecil, the knight of [Thunderbolt], may be a male priestess because he has the same magical power and special power as the priestesses. However, this is only a rumor, and we don't even know if there really is such a thing as a male priestess in the Church of Soma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's just a rumor, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that the story of the strength of the people has become so popular that it has become a myth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the truth is not important at this point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The problem is that Cecil the Knight of Thunderbolt has the strength to be called so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, he may have a strength comparable to royalty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then he may be able to compete with the warriors of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......I'm getting worried now that he might be a little too tough an opponent for Barka-dono.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it would be better to move a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If possible, let's move to a position where we can escape quickly in case Barka loses, and also closer to Ian, the Warrior of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I moved to a different location little by little while talking with Zen.
