After that, I managed to convince Rent-san to take me to the village chief. Well, I don't blame them for not believing me, though.
　Basically, when I go out, I'm dressed as an adventurer who's easy to move around in. Well, there's something about glittery outfits that I'm not good at. You can't walk around in a shameful outfit like that.
　I managed to meet with the village chief and talk to him, but again, he didn't believe me. It's not about whether I'm the king or not. They didn't believe that Euron's army was approaching our village.
　So I floated the village chief in the Levitation and flew him to the site in the Fly.
　From above, we could clearly see that the Euron army was heading towards the village. There are quite a few of them.
　The village chief is rattling and shaking at the sight, either because of the village that might be attacked in the future, or because he is simply afraid of the high ground.
　Once on the ground, he lands on the ground and sends the village chief back to the village at the "gate". I asked him to convince the other villagers to join me and I flew around the perimeter once more with my fly.
　Deploying and observing the map, I see that apart from the guys coming towards us, there's the main unit over there and a separate unit behind them. This one's probably a supply unit, but they're bringing in quite a few of them.
　On the other hand, speaking of Hannock's army, there are no troops other than those that are clashing with Euron's main force. Expanding the map, I can see another army far behind. It's a hastily sent out reinforcements from the royal capital. But at this distance, they won't arrive until the day after tomorrow. I wonder if the front line can last until then...
　Well, what should we do? I wonder if we need some kind of a title for intervening in another country's war. Of course, I would politely ask Yulon's troops to leave, but that's not going to solve anything, is it? I'm sure they'll be back.
　If only we were in Brunhild. I'd feel free to do so, but.... Hmm?
　Well, okay. There's a way to do that. I went down to earth and opened the Gate to His Majesty the Emperor of the Regulus Empire. I'm not sure if King Hanoak will be able to meet me if I go there at once. I'll ask His Majesty to introduce me to His Majesty.




　With the encouragement of His Majesty Emperor Regulus, King Hannock has accepted my proposal. In any case, the kingdom of Hannock will be at the mercy of Euron. I've decided that this is the case.
　Okay, it's properly handwritten by the king and there's no problem now. I leave the castle of Hannock with His Majesty Emperor Regulus, taking the certificate I received.

"But it's a hell of a thing to say...
It's only temporary. Once we're secure, of course, this will be destroyed.

　His Majesty the Emperor, who let out a dumbfounded voice, fluttered and showed a certificate with King Hannock's signature and the national seal to His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what to expect from this war. It's nice that we don't have to send any relief supplies.

　Well, I don't know if it's going to work. I'm going to do it anyway. I don't have to hold back anymore.




What do you mean you don't have to evacuate...?
I'm going to drive every last one of the Euronians out of Hannock.

　Paolo was waiting for me in the village, and I showed him the certificate that the King of Harnock had given me. Paolo's eyes widened as he read the certificate without understanding it.

This, this, this is real?
It's true. You see King Hanoak's signature right here? He even stamped it with his own seal.

　Tsubaki-san, who was peeking in from the side, also rolled her eyes.

''Well, King Hannock has been allowed to do so........ But if this is the case, Yulon will hold you down anyway, so then........''

　Tsubaki-san speaks to herself, looking convinced, but still unconvinced. 'Be convinced.

'Well, then. Tsubaki-san, go back to the castle and tell Kosaka-san and the rest of the knights about this. I'll chase away all the Euronians who have entered Hannock once.
I'll get rid of him, I'll get rid of...

　I leave a stunned Paolo-san as the guardian of this village for a while, and send Tsubaki-san to Brunhild with "Gate".
　As for me, I fly through the skies in one fell swoop with "Fly" to reach Shenhai, the imperial capital of Euron.
　I've been thinking about it since the masked assailant, and it's somewhat of an Asian-style town. That big building is the royal palace, isn't it?
　The scarlet roof tiles and chalk walls, gilded here and there. In addition, the statue like something animal of gold was attached to the roof and the pillar. It's very flashy. It is the royal palace like a mass of self aggrandizement or something.
　I wonder if it was made with taxation.... If it were in Japan, it would be a complete disaster. Maybe it's my imagination, but I feel that the outskirts of the capital are deserted.
　Well, well, let's just hope it's time to go home.

"Map view. All Euron forces in the territory of Harnock.
Copy that. Accessing map.

　Papa Papa Pappu, and the Euron army in Hannock territory is shown in red light.

'Multiple. Target lock.
Copy that. Locked.

　All of Euron's forces are locked and ready to be captured.

Activate 'Gate' at every foot of Euron's army.
Copy that. Activating.

　One by one, the red lights in the Hannock territory disappeared. And the royal palace was in a panic as the Yulong soldiers appeared one by one in the royal palace below. ''I will return them all to you, Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor.
　After watching until the last red light disappeared, I passed through the 'gate' and leisurely walked out to the border between Hannock and Euron. 'Well,' he said, 'now it's time to get on with it.




''What the hell is this?''

　I can hear that from below. What a surprise. We were suddenly and inexplicably sent back to our own capital, and after spending ten days trying to invade Hannock again, we found that a huge wall had been erected on the border.
　And the one fluttering on top of that wall was not the moose of the Hannock flag, but my Brunhild's war maiden.
　As I appeared next to that flag, a man who appeared to be a Euron general on horseback called out from under the city walls.

''What do you mean by this!
"'Gentlemen of Euron's army, thank you for coming this far. But this is now Brünnhild's territory. We cannot allow it to go any further.

　The Euron army was buzzing around without understanding, and I held a certificate in front of them with an aerial magnification projection.

'What? This....this....thing...!

　It was a certificate that the King of Hannock would transfer only one kilometer of territory on the Hannock side of the border with Euron to Brunhild. In other words, it is not Hannock that borders Euron at the moment, but the enclave of Brunhild.
　If Euron's army wanted to invade Hannock, they would have to pass through here. But of course Brunhild has no intention of passing through.

By the way, this wall leads to the entire border with Euron.

　That's right. It's the Great Wall of China, which was built in just six days with the help of earth magic and the workshop. Of course, it's taller than that one. The area is a kilometer wide territory all along the border. Perhaps it's larger than the Brunhild mainland.

All troops charge!

　At the command of a single general, all at once, Euron's army marched towards the wall. Ah, they attacked. I don't mind telling you this, but since this is another country's territory, you should ask His Majesty the Emperor if you want to invade it, or maybe he didn't believe you. Or did you not believe me? Well, that's a good thing, though.
　The moment the soldiers of Euron's army invaded Brunhild's territory, reached the wall, and were about to start climbing it, the soldiers suddenly disappeared as if they were sucked into the ground.

''Nah!''

　After that, one by one, the soldiers disappear as soon as they touch the wall.
　Surprised by the sudden disappearance of the soldiers, their march came to a halt.
　When they touch the wall, a "gate" is activated under their feet and they are automatically sent to the capital of Euron, and moreover, to the middle of the royal palace. Well, I'm not going to explain it to you.
　The soldiers continue to shoot bows and arrows at me, and they are all blown high into the sky by the wind attribute magic on the city walls. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's all going to be returned to your palace.

　The wizard in the army was raising his wand, so I give him a heads up. The wizard slowly lowered his wand, as if surprised by my words. I don't know if he believed my words or not, but I guess he's not ready to try.
　Well, it's true. In response to the magic, a 'gate' opens on the wall. Of course, the destination is Euron's royal palace.

"Now, shall we consider this an act of aggression against our country any further?

　When I snapped my fingers, the flame gear heavy knights 《Chevalier》 descended one after another from the gate that opened in the air. With a thud and a thud, a total of ten of them landed in front of the city wall, and then two black knights and a white knight, the "Knight Baron" and a white knight, the "Shine Count" were the last to land.
　The black knight that our two deputy commanders ride on and the white knight that our leader Rain-san rides on. Well, both the white and black knights are based on the same base. I just changed the shape a bit and repainted it pure white. It's a good idea to make it look like that, since it's the leader's flag horseman.

It's not a good idea. Whoa!

　The general of Euron's army was swept off the ground by a horse that was startled by the earth shaking and fell to the ground. The horse easily abandoned its master and fled from the scene at once.

''If you are willing to fight, my Brünnhilde Knights will be your opponent.

　At my signal, all of the aircraft drew their swords from their hips and thrust them into the ground. Seeing this, Euron's troops lost their will to fight at once and began to flee in a hurry.

They retreat! Retreat!
Run! You're going to get crushed!
'Ohhhh!'

　All at once, Euron's army retreated like a scattering of spiderlings. If we're going back, we could touch the city walls and get to the royal palace right away.
　As I watched the Euron army fleeing in a hurry, the chest hatch of the black knight standing next to me opened and the deputy commander, Norn-san, leaned out.

''Your Majesty. We might be able to prevent this from happening overland, but those guys are going to use the sea route to attack Hannock, aren't they?
You'll be fine, too. I've summoned about ten large Kraken to the sea on the Hannock side. I've told them not to attack anything but military ships, so there should be no problem.
Wow, that's not very nice.

　What do you mean? Call it attention to detail. If there's a suspicious intruder or something unusual on the walls, the arrows indicate the location of the intruder, and they're full of traps like "paralyze" and "gravity" and "slip". It's impossible to get it to fly, though.
　We'll just have to wait and see. We've got some bait. If the people who attacked us before were from Euron, they wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. They'll do something about it.
　Now, let's see what he's got in store for us.
