Chapter 9: Prelude to the Storm

The half-elves came a little earlier than originally planned.

Fuy Lorraine is a prominent warrior in the tribe, and her loyalty to the tribe is unquestionable, but as the elders of the tribe, the elderly half-elves think more than just habitat.

Human greed and discrimination against half-elves have led the race to a state of self-abandonment. If it weren't for the excellent archery skills of the half-elves, the king's army would have rushed in with swords.

The half-elves have been discriminated against for so long that they themselves have forgotten that they are good archers.

The elders began to mobilize and migrate, and Fay Lorraine set out for the castle with fifty of the best rangers and swordsmen in armor. On the way, they heard the news of the defeat of the Count of Annaba.

This allowed them to speed things up.

Until they meet the scouts of King's Landing.

"The tribe should have embarked on its journey. "The ranger saluted gracefully, the most distinctive features of the half-elf were its slender body and pointed ears, but strangely enough, you could recognize a half-elf, relying on all intuition.

"And besides, this castle?" asked the ranger. The baron brushed the grass from her face: "Don't worry, when your people come, the castle will continue to change." ”

As the number of people under his rule increases, the castle will be restored accordingly.

Fuy was stunned and touched the face brushed by the baron, and was in a trance for a moment without speaking. The baron, who had not yet come out of Earth's casual greetings, did not notice that the ranger's face was a little red. Butler Frederick grinned.

"My tribe needs food and ・・・・・・"

"It's going to work out. , please make another trip, let your tribe speed up, what is needed, tell Frederick the butler. In addition, I will send soldiers to join your tribe and try to get to King's Landing sooner. ”

Seeing the back of Feuy Lorraine and his soldiers in the distance, Frederick's butler spoke: "Have you considered accepting the allegiance of the half-elves?"

The baron asked, "What else can I do?" instead of questioning my decision, tell me why the world rejects half-elves so much. ”

It's a long story, Longlongago・・・・・・・

Well, let's cut a long story short.

To put it simply, the half-elves betrayed the founder of the Holy See, Pope St. Dorman. Before his death, St. Dorman made it clear in the Holy See's supreme canon that the half-elves were heretics and needed to be dealt with with by holy war.

This situation is understandable to Lord Baron, and it is not easy for anyone to be cheated.

The problem is that St. Dorman suddenly added it a few days later, and as a last resort, he tried not to hurt the half-elf.

So the half-elf became what it is today.

Over the years, the Holy See has gradually gained great prestige in the human world of faith in God the Father, and the Holy Scriptures have become an unquestionable standard.

The Holy See has developed the faith of God the Father into a more rigorous and complex cult of Grace.

The baron took in so many half-elves, it was easy to attract the attention of the Holy See.

Then the Holy See will magnificently find itself and its henchmen all heretics.

It's still the kind of person who doesn't know where it's different.

The baron swallowed and looked at Frederick innocently: "What should we do?"

"We want to develop as soon as possible, and the Holy See and the Kingdom of Bamholm will not act for the time being. Last year, the invasion of the Asuna Empire was widespread, and the armies of various countries, including Baanholm, paid a heavy price to barely repel the enemy, and there will be no major war for a short time. As for the small scale, I think the Earl of Annaba is a good example. ”

"The Asuna Empire?"

"An empire that believes in Allah Bona, belongs to the Hashemite world, and occasionally fights with the nations that believe in God the Father. In recent years, the Asuna Empire has risen, and the last invasion shook the entire Holy Grace world. Frederick replied.

Wars of religion, wars of religion. Lildra vividly remembers the shocking historical sources she had been studying the Crusades.

"But don't worry about the Asuna Empire for now, because they are far away from us, and the last invasion only affected this area. Butler Frederick continued. Seeing the baron's relaxed expression, he added: "It's just that by the way, I defeated the kingdom's 30,000 troops." ”

The baron jumped up all at once: "By the way?"

Frederick laughed and walked away.

The baron only felt the deep malice of the world towards him.

But what he didn't know was that soon, the world was about to change.

The Asuna Empire, with its capital at Izrmí.

"The army of the tribal chiefs has already begun to mobilize, while the collected supplies are being transported to the forts on the front line. The armies of the Levants and Livolstan are moving towards the borders of the infidels, and we have sent messengers to make contact with them. ”

Ibrahim III, the Sultan of Assuna, sits majestically on a throne made of diamonds and gold, separated from him by a beaded curtain of crystals.

Vizier Abdul Muhimeni knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the soft carpet of Dubes wool, and reported to his supreme sultan.

Last year's defeat angered the great Imam Gudama, who was revered throughout the world of belief in Allah, and he traveled everywhere, united with his friends in religious circles, and finally brought about the largest holy war in recent years!

The number of countries that have expressed their participation has reached four, and many more are gathering the armies of their tribes and ready to heed Allah's call. An unprecedented army has been assembled under the banner of the Sultans of all countries, ready to deliver the most ferocious blow to the infidels!

Ibrahim III, of course, knew that the agitation of the Gudamai Mamu had a huge impact on the common people, but the nobles had other plans.

Fifty years ago, during the Sumela War, the infidels captured the holy city of Tanzimet and renamed it St. Dorman's ministry here.

The servants of Allah wept over it.

But the fragmented Hashemite world is powerless to do anything about the growing pagan empire.

Until today.

The Suleimans, who migrated from the east, believed in Allah, defeated the divided Alab, and founded the Asuna Empire.

In order to recapture the holy city, Ibrahim III did not hesitate to lower his profile to deal with the Alab, and a large amount of aid and commitment finally made the Arab sultans and chieftains relent.

Last year's invasion was nothing more than a temptation. And the aid of the Eastern Empire enabled him to spread the glory of Allah in the spring.

If you can become a hero in the recovery of the holy city, you must not be far from the entire Hashemite sultan. No, not the Sultan, it's the great caliphate.

The Sultan stood up, and the vizier's head lowered.

Ibrahim III's voice carried a hint of fanaticism: "Continue our cause, my vizier. Let their hypocritical Father tremble under the iron hooves of the army of Assuna! Allah is supreme!"
