Female Soldier: Prince Everem, please wait.

Report from Freria's own country.

Civil strife broke out in the Republic of Cardino.

He is currently at war with a mercenary team led by Pablo, the elder of the Gulard Empire.

Ephrem: Cardino ......

What about Erec?

Is my sister okay?

Female Soldier: Princess Erek has gone to the rescue of Prince Sinias.

His whereabouts are unknown......

Iverem: ...... ......Shh

I thought it was the safest to go to Roston, so I let Erec go......

Although I want to lead the army back immediately to rescue my sister......

Seth: Prince Iverem.

Iverem: ...... I know.

I want to say don't be emotional.

Cardino and Gurad are connected, so the capture of the imperial capital is the closest way.

Continue to march.

Just like that, the order is given.

Seth: Yes.

Iverem: Erech, you must be safe......

――――

Ivrem: ?

Earthquake......

It seems to have stopped.

Seth: Prince Iverem.

Iverem: I'm okay. Don't worry.

I was just taken aback by the sudden shaking of the ground......

You seem to be very calm.

Seth: No, I'm taken aback too.

The Gulard Empire in the south of the continent has always been a country prone to earthquakes.

However, because each earthquake is a small earthquake, the damage caused to the people is relatively small.

Ephrem: yes, speaking of which, I used to ......

It was the same in the time of the Goulard.

When Erec and I were taken aback by the earthquake, Leon's guy was used to it and laughed at us......

Seth:......

Ephrem: This is not the time to be sentimental.

Now we have to move forward......

In order to determine the reality of the Gurad Empire.

――――

Dussel: I can't figure it out......

Why, exactly.

Why would His Majesty do such a thing......

Selena: General Dussel.

Dussel: ...... It's Selena.

yes. So you came to help me.

Selena: Yes......

Soon after, Frelia from the north attacked him.

Please give the order to attack immediately.

Dussel: Hmm......

Will the enemy be Ephrem?

Selena: Yes.

It was Iverem, the prince of the Kingdom of Runes.

Dussel: Hmm......

Selena: Runes is our enemy.

General, please give the order to attack.

Dussel: No, all on standby.

We are not allowed to attack first.

I'd like to talk to Ephrium first.

Selena:......

Sure enough, that's the case.

You really want to collude with the enemy and betray our empire.

Dussel: What?

Selena: General Dussel.

Now suspect that you are suspected of treason.

I hope you will lay down your sword and follow our orders honestly.

If they resist, they will be summarily executed.

Dussel: What stupid are you talking about!

Who instructed you!

Selena: This is Your Majesty's command.

Your Majesty says that you are a vile traitor.

So...... Please come to your senses.

Dussel: How is that possible...... Your Majesty!

――――

Selena: Coorg, you and I go on a crusade against that betrayer.

You bypass the fortress in the southeast and launch a surprise attack on the enemy army from the sea.

Coorg: Crusade against Lord Dussel......

Lord Dussel is just like you, a member of the Imperial Generals......

He is like a father to both your brother and you.

Still, is it still going to crusade against him?

Selena:......

As long as it is His Majesty's order, I will never be confused and resolutely complete the task.

Coug: If you're still a knight of the Goulards, do your job well.

Kruger:......

――――

Seth: Prince Iverem, with Emperor Gurad in front of him**.

Iverem: Well, it's just a little weird.

It seems to be being chased by someone.

Deserter?

What the!

Is that...... Dussel!

Seth: Prince Iverem, please give orders.

Ephrem: Go and save Dussel!

Walk!

――――

Volta: Hmph, that's boring.

We're just getting started.

Imperial generals fight each other, isn't it a lot of fun?

Selena: Volta......

What's the matter?

Volta: Selena.

Go back to the imperial capital immediately.

You have been excluded from the crusade against Dussel.

Your Majesty says you are not to be trusted.

We'll do the rest.

Selena: What......

Volta: I can't even solve that old fool......

Really. It's hard to have such an incompetent companion. Right, Selena?

Berunai.

Berunai: Yes.

Volta: I'm leaving here, because I can't make Erec feel lonely in Cardino.

You stay here, and the command of the battle is handed over to you.

Berunai: Leave it to me.

Selena: How can you be so casual......

Your Majesty ordered me directly, that's why I'm here......

Volta: Didn't hear that?

The command changed.

I heard His Majesty say it himself.

"Selena can't be trusted.

I don't know when it will be with Dussel

The same betrayal of the Empire.

So in case that happens, the two must be eliminated. "Got it?

Selena: No...... No way!

Your Majesty he......

He trusted me so much......

Volta: How about going back to the imperial capital and checking it out for yourself?

After all, whether what I said is true or not, go and ask your gracious majesty.

Selena: Huh......

Volta: What's wrong, Selena?

Selena: I'm going back to the Imperial Capital......

How can you believe your words.

I'll go directly to ask Your Majesty......

――――

Volta: Hmph...... Stupid woman.

Gulad would have had much more peace of mind if he could easily end the war.

However, the pleasant time cannot be extended for long......

Alright, I'll go back to my dear Erec first.

Glenn must not be allowed to get a head start.

Well, Berunai, over to you.

Within the time limit I've set, I'm going to get those guys out. Do you understand?

Berrounay: Yes.

――――

Coog: What should I do, big brother......

――――

Soldier: Captain Courg!

Coug: Got it.

I'm also a knight of the Goulards.

Must complete their own tasks.

In short, stop the advance of the Frelian army first.

Let's go!

――――

Dussel: Coug......

You're here to kill me, too...... bar.

Kruger:......

Dussel: Don't hesitate.

Just let the horses come.

If it is an order of His Majesty......

――――

Berunai: Prince of Runes, Iverem and ......

Obsidian's Dussel ......

It's hard to tell which side is our goal......

――――

Berunai: Cut ......

Too...... Underestimate them......

――――

Berunai: ......Shh I didn't expect it to come to this.

If this continues, I will be ...... by Lord Volta

…… Sail.

Get out of here quickly.

Soldier: Well, but in that case, Lord Volta will be very angry......

Berunai: It's all the same.

Lord Volta would never allow such a failure......

We're going to be slaughtered by that snake dragon just like the ones who died before......

So in comparison, it is more realistic to run away......

Soldier: Wait, wait, Lord Berunai!

――――

Seth: Prince Iverem.

The remaining enemies seem to have fled.

Iverem: yes.

Is Dussel alright?

Seth: yes, please go this way.

――――

Dussel: Prince Ivereem......

You're mature.

When I taught you how to shoot, you were a young and vigorous teenager.

Ivereem: Dussel, thanks to your guidance.

But why would you be hunted down by the Empire?

Dussel: ......

Ivrem: Tell me, Dussel.

I want to end this war.

You should have this heart too.

Dussel: ......

…… Your Majesty, as you know, was once a mild-mannered man.

He did not only think about the interests of the empire, but also wanted all nations to live in peace and happiness.

But...... On that day......

It seems like a different person......

Iverem: ......

Why did the emperor change?

What happened then?

Dussel: ...... I don't know.

But, when it comes to what happened that day, it is......

Prince Leon and the dark mages conduct magical research. In the end, it is said that the [Magic Stone] was born.

Iverem: Magic Stone?

Dussel: That's what priests and princes call them.

I'm just a martial artist, and I don't know anything like magic......

It is said to possess more power than the Sacred Stone.

Ephrem: Sacred Stone...... The one who sealed the Demon King in the era of legend.

That [Magic Stone] has more power than [Holy Stone]?

Mel: Ephrem......

Iverem: What's wrong, Mel?

Mel: We feel the evil aura emanating from the Imperial Capital......

These breaths swallow people's hearts......

It was as if the affected person had changed as a person.

No matter how good a person is, he becomes a wicked person......

Iverem: So, Emperor Pigard's change was also due to the influence of this evil aura?

And during the same period, the [Magic Stone] was produced......

Dussel, where is the Magic Stone now?

Dussel: In the hands of the Prince of Leon, who is in the imperial capital.

After that day, the prince often carried it with him.

Iverem: I see.

Dussel, I'm heading to the imperial capital.

I'm going to ask Leone carefully.

The two worked together to restore Emperor Pigard.

Dussel: ...... I'll go too.

Iverem: But we're going to fight the Gurads.

Dussel: Don't worry. I've been called a traitor anyway.

Iverem, if you can save Your Majesty......

If you can get your Majesty's kind heart back......

I, Dussel, would rather be a disloyal.

――――

Soldier: General Dussel!

[Character on the right side of the screen]: You guys......

I'm so sorry.

I asked you to protect me, a traitor.

Soldier: What are you talking about!

We are always a subordinate of Lord Dussel.

If General Dussel leaves the Goulard, and we join the Frerian army, then we will not go to the same route again!

[Character on the right side of the screen]: You guys......

Alas......

I'm getting old, too.

I couldn't even shed tears......

Soldier: That's how we joined the Frerian Army.

There were also many young knights in the starting team led by Prince Iverem.

Please give this to the knights who have grown significantly.

General Dussel.

Please take care......

――――

Seth: Prince Iverem, and then it's the sea.

The follow-up Frelian army was already preparing the ship.

Please be patient and wait for the arrival of the ship now.

Iverem: Got it.

Let's take this opportunity to give everyone a break.

What will follow is a series of fierce battles.

――――

Rachel: Ah!

Do you want to go to sea?

Ivrem: ?

yes, what's wrong......

Rachel: A reminder to you.

It's better not to go to sea now.

The local people are very scared, and no one dares to go to sea.

Ephrem: Is it going to be a storm?

Rachel: No, it's because of monsters.

I heard that a huge ghost ship has recently appeared, repeatedly attacking and sinking ships that have gone out to sea.

Everem: Ghost ship?

Rachel: Right.

But don't worry.

Let me destroy the ghost ship.

Renak: Cut ...... Not again......

Dozra: Kahaha!

How chic, Miss Rachel!

Rachel: The peace of the sea is guarded by me, Rachel.

Well, take care, strangers.

Dozra, let's go find the ship.

Dozra: Kahaha! Wait a minute!

Let's go, Reynak!

Renak: That's why I said don't walk around, decide on a goal first......

Ahh......h

and did not listen to my ......

Iverem: ...... What's going on?

――――

Seth: Prince Ephrem's ship has arrived.

Please get ready to get on board......

What's wrong with you?

Iverem: No...... It's nothing.

Okay, let's go!

――――

Iverem: Dussel!

Dussel: Are you ...... Ivrem.

Iverem: Why were you ...... by Gulard?

What's going on?

No, it's time to protect you.

Come with us. Dussel.

Dussel: ......

Iverem: Dussel!

Dussel: I'm Dussel, one of the three Imperial Riders......

This name and the presence of His Majesty are the driving force for my survival.

Now that these are gone, it seems that I don't need to live......

Ephelem: Dussel......

…… No kidding!

You are my teacher!

I'm not going to let you die!

Dussel: ...... Prince Iverem......

Iverem: I've heard about Emperor Pigard's disappointment.

But if you die here, will you still be able to save Goulard?

The future of the empire!

What should the people do?

Dussel: ......

Iverem: You're going to live, Dussel.

As a betrayer......

Carrying the Shame......

Although I understand that this is a shame worse than death for you, as an Imperial General.

But, no matter what, you have to live.

For something more important......

Dussel: ......

I understand.

My life......

I'll leave it to you.

――――

Dussel: Coug...... Well......

Coog: Lord Dussel......

Because of your vain attempts to betray Your Majesty, I will execute you here.

Dussel: ...... I'm prepared.

I'm no longer fit for this position, you're a general of the Empire.

Just do your duty.

Kruger:......

Dussel: Courg!

Coog: To be honest, I'm confused myself.

Should you be executed, or should you not be executed?

If it's the big brother, I should make a judgment right away......

And I'm here before I can even make up my mind.

Dussel: ......

Coog: However, it wasn't until I got close to you that I was convinced.

You're still the Empire's Three Horsemen, Lord Dussel.

Not like a betrayer who took refuge in Freria.

Dussel: ......

Courg: So I can't turn my gun on you.

Mr. Dussel......

Until Your Majesty's misunderstandings are cleared, it is up to me to protect you.

Dussel: Coug......

Really......

――――

Tana: Stop, don't fight anymore.

If you can talk about it, you will become good friends.

Coog: Who are you?

Tana: My name is Tana.

You're from Goulard, right?

Why

To fight General Dussel?

Coug: That's because......

Tana: Hate General Dussel?

Kruger:...... It's not because I like or hate this childlike naïve question.

I am a soldier of the Empire.

Military personnel must obey orders.

Execute those who betrayed the Empire.

That's all.

Tana: General Dussel

Betrayed your country?

Do you really believe it?

Kruger:...... It's not a question of believing it or not.

As long as it's a command......

Tana: Ephraim believes that General Dussel is innocent.

Don't you believe in the general's character?

Kruger:...... Move.

I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore.

Tana: Stop!

Please, please protect General Dussel.

Isn't he too pitiful to die without even solving the misunderstanding?

Kruger:...... Get out of the way.

If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you first.

Tana: Okay. But there is one condition, you have to believe in General Dussel.

Kruger:......

…… It's ridiculous.

I would be influenced by a child like you to make my own decisions.

Tana: Huh?

Coog: Okay.

Let me protect General Dussel.

Uncover the truth under the command of the General.

Tana: Really, really?

Coog: I don't even know if this decision was really the right one.

However, if it were the eldest brother, he would definitely do it.
