Border Guardian Hal Akircius

After another four months, Cilentium

For more than a month and a half, I felt the air in the Empire City, studied technology, acquired knowledge, and joined the 21st Corps, which bought a variety of goods.

Exchanging formal pact documents, Hal left the Empire behind even as the text was spared in his chest, on his way home.

Being a large area and also due to the significant increase in luggage, the return directions followed the streets of the Empire back via Colonia Lemesia, Colonia Meridieto, so it was possible to return fairly quickly in time, but still the face of the 21st Regiment, which completed its long journey for the remainder of February, was exhausted.

But it had become a situation where Hull could not even grant a respite to heal his fatigue.

Because the Cilentium citizens, far more enthusiastic than when they returned after the victory, were waiting.

Moreover, this time it is not just the citizens of Cilentium.

The tribes of Cliffonam and the newly joined people of Oran were also pushing to the Cilentium to be present at the moment of the birth of the Northern Union.

Of course, few of them have come to see at a glance the courage of Hal, who is its greatest feat and undoubtedly the first Supreme Leader of the Northern Union.

Its cheer and enthusiasm culminated when Hal put up a cylinder containing an ancient dragon necklace showing King Oran and a lifelong decree of the Protector of the North delivered by Emperor Julianus.

At a time when the great waves of cheer are rocking the city of Cilentium with the sound of the earth.

In the unpopular temple of the Sun, Altrius felt the aftermath of the cheers raised by Oran, Cliffonam and even the former imperial subjects.

Hearing its hopeful and joyful cheers, Altrius knelt in the temple of the Sun but could not hold back his mouth from breaking with nature.

Audio is emitted in such a manner as to embarrass Altrius.

………… ………………

"Well, you know, we don't sit untrained in the earliest days… there's only one thing untrained… there's something we'd like to see."

…………

'... it is. Can you forgive me for staying in this world for a while now?

…… ……

"Thank you. Happiness, then… to greet you later."

An acknowledgement, Altrius, who stood up.

Soon his prospective successor will be the leader of the North in both fame and fame.

This last sunny stage, I'll have to burn it in my eyes at all costs.

"O Haruyoshi... it is thanks to your Lord that I have become unrepentant in my life."

Altrius pulled in a grin until then, crushing with a serious look, he headed from the Temple of the Sun to the administration building early.

Administration building, office in Hull

'Well, this is the last finish! Faster!

"Hey, can you give me an inch of rest, Predecessor?"

"Heh heh, I don't mind... but I think the people of Cliffonam will probably be waiting for you, huh?

Early on in his return, Hal is rushed from Altrius, who suddenly appeared and dressed in his attire.

By its side, Ellesia is helping Hull change her clothes with a smile on her face.

"You can't say that... you don't..."

"Would it be?

"Because Hal is popular"

Once it was Hal, who hung his mouth open again to protest, it was clear that, if we saw the zealous gesture of Hal when he returned, not only the citizens of Cilentium, but also the people of Cliffonam were eager for Hal to assume that throne for the first time.

I had already been informed in a letter that there was talk of a throne award on the way back to Cilentium, but Hal was greatly confused when he thought the ceremony was waiting for him shortly after his return.

Already the mayors of the northern cities and the Chiefs of Cliffonam are also in full swing in arrangements for Altrius and Sittius in the north, south and east.

On behalf of the people of Oran, Randeljes and Chris Urawinus, from the East Photographic Empire, also rushed Le Seung-bak and Sukei Daicheng, as well as Sir Greater Quinkinatus, the first ambassador of the Western Empire Cilentium, who has been with us this time.

Naturally, Adamantius and Tarpeius, acting mayor of Colonia Pontius, and Petra, mayor of Colonia Fellum, have also arrived, and everyone smiles to welcome Hal, who has finally emerged with Erreisia.

This time the stage is also the Temple of the Sun.

Already the chiefs were now waiting for the delay and Hull, and when Hull and Erlacia rose to the stage, they stood together.

Gatti, the oldest Alpecio chief, looks left and right and slowly opens his mouth when he confirms that all the chiefs of Cliffonam are standing up.

"This is not the second time that all the chiefs of our clan in Cliffonam have met together, and there has never been a king before, so there is no such thing as manipulation. I can't help but think about it and consult with the King, who will take the oath of those who represent our tribe under the Sun God. Whether it's tribes or tribes that get the agreement of their peoples."

With that said, Gatti pulled out his sword with a serious look on his face, put his cuttoe on the floor, held his sword body with his palm and drooped his head and knelt.

Each chief imitates it.

"We will represent the people of Cliffonam. With the generosity of our people, we pledge to exchange Hal Akircius with the king of Cliffonam, as our good guide, to show courage on the battlefield, to show Jen in the village, and to help his reign."

At the end of that proclamation, the chiefs, who rose up sounding all the time, now held the pattern of the sword and put it in front of them, turned their swords and pointed their cuttoes towards the ceiling.

Correspondingly, Hal also offers the knife of his hips horizontally with each sheath in front of him.

"Under our king!

"Take the oath. Reward them for good work, and punish them for falsehood. I will serve the people as king, and I will guide them well."

When Hal returned his reply, Gatti, more grinned, raised his sword once, and with it each chief shook up his sword sharply, as did the blade noise.

"Here the first king of Cliffonam has reigned. I approve and bless this reign in the name of the Sun God"

When Ellesia strictly proclaimed beside Hull and showed heaven with a high priest's staff, the sunlight that was cast out of the skylight fell upon the sword of the chiefs, and the sword was wrapped in light.

The light connects with the knife that Hal holds and quietly disappears after releasing a strong force for a while.

"The sword of each chief became a testament to the chief, as well as an indication of his bond with the king of Cliffonam."

El Laicia's proclamation reaches the ears of the Chiefs, who stare at their swords as if they were surprised, continuing to shed a strange light.

First Gatti returned to me and put his sword into the sheath.

"... that's all, King Achilcius"

Following that word, the other chiefs also put their swords in place, and Hal also restarts his sword on his hips.

"Nice to see you all."

To Hal's words, which are not as decorative as they are, Ellesia grins deeper and holds those hands hard, and grins also on the faces of the nervous Chiefs.

Hal then breathes a cup in his chest when he confirms that all the chiefs of Cliffonam hung themselves in the chair...

"Hal Akircius hereby combines King Cliffonam, King Oran and Protector Officer of the North to declare the establishment of a coalition regime of Cliffonams, Orans and Northern cities, abbreviated as the Northern Union!!

It declared the establishment of the Northern Union.

Not only during the Cilentium, but also in all the areas under Hull's rule, declarations are to be issued immediately, and the Postal Association staff will be in a very bad mood by now.

And the city of Cilentium is immediately thrown into the crucible of excitement.

The venue was no exception, and voices that could not be cheered or screamed arose simultaneously everywhere.

Some cry with emotion.

Some are roaring with their faces bright red with excitement.

There are those who cheer and embrace their neighbors.

The city of Cilentium was transformed into a major banquet hall when the barrels of the dance hall, not to mention the roadside, were opened simultaneously.

At night, Hal decided to take off the venue once.

Hal heads to the administration building with a smile and shake hands, words, and smiles with the chiefs and tribesmen who came from all over the place with Ellesia, as well as with guests from various countries, military personnel, officials, and even citizens.

Sittius smiles uncommonly surrounded by government officials and secretaries.

Li Shengxing and Sosuke Daicheng are discussing alcohol with Sir Greater Kunkinatus.

Maple was with Lucius, chilling Primia, whose face was bright red, and was forgiven by the head of the shady.

Two chiefs from Oran and Adamantius are exchanged, and the Cliffonam chiefs of the Cilentium Alliance compare their drinks.

Everyone in the city and he is enjoying, merciful and blessed this time of year.

Once they returned to their room with a smile on the sight, Hal and Ellesia returned Suzuharu Minami, who had entrusted the child with their care, and headed to the roof after seeing how the twins were doing.

On that rooftop, where the three of us once saw the likelihood when we came to this abandoned city, there was once a God who built the city and kept thinking most deeply.

At the end of that gaze, you can hear a voice full of laughter and cheer, celebrating today's day with lively music and singing to take the head of the toast, as well as a voice to celebrate.

The lights lit the building called the Cilentium Town building, illuminating the streets brilliantly.

When I saw the two of them, Altrius, who wore arms and looked at such a celebratory city, raised his mouth more and uttered words.

"Oh, are you here… is the venue good enough?

"Yes, because later Mr. Sittius and Mr. Adamantius will do well"

"Heh heh, it is a thing that has become great… have you learned to let people do their job"

"Haha, because my predecessor's education was good"

"... is what I came to say"

When Hal smiled and said, Altrius returned his words with a bitter smile, he returned his gaze to the city again.

It carries the good smell of food and alcohol that is behaving all over the city with a wind that slowly falls out.

"... Mr. Altrius, why didn't you come to the venue?

After a period of silence, El Laicia calls out to caress.

He is no longer the Necromancer who once left the city in ruins and was given a curse and wandered the city.

No one can enter the temple without complaining, and there is nothing wrong with attending the ceremony because you are a god.

But Altrius, who hastily dressed Hal, had not come to the Temple of the Sun.

Altrius answers Erlacia's question by pulling his mouth together.

'The rebuilding of the city and bringing peace to this land was a sorrow when it comes to my sorrow… but I am no longer a man, even now that much fear and much defiles the last seat of God. This world belongs to your lords, the world of things that live today. I helped, but I didn't do anything more, and I can't take them to the great things they did. That's why I was absent. "

"... even if I didn't have a predecessor, I wouldn't have one now?

"Well... thank you for thinking that, but my subject is Haryoshi, your lord, so you won't have to make me too athletic, will you?

Did Hal's words make you loose, Altrius says with a grin that makes you feel bitter.

But Hal felt more disturbing than content in the words.

"Predecessor?"

"Farewell, Halyoshi... this is the place to be, and this is my role. I didn't mean to be unfamiliar, but I've missed what I thought since I looked around the city. I remembered when I met the lords on this occasion… but now I think it's still good to see them last '

Altrius spins his words as he looks with a merciful eye at the outdated Hull.

It seemed to me during this time that we exchanged words on this balcony that we did not love, but the passage of time is fast.

Upon hearing the words, Ellesia threw a question at her temperament, even as she was upset.

"... God's bondage by reason worked, didn't it?

'Wahahaha… even though I actually avoided putting my hands down as much as I could, I seem to have become too involved in some people's worlds, even counting from the days of the Necromancer. I've been scolded by the Sun God, and often I say goodbye... but at this stage, do you need my help?

Altrius lay it down when he took out the white holy sword, letting it be held in the hands of Hal, who had not yet recovered from the shock.

"Is this...? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on."

To Hal, who hastily tried to push the white holy sword back, Altrius stares at its eyes from the front and slowly opens his mouth to bite and include.

'I entrust this... Haruyoshi, I will never see you again in this world. I am everywhere in this city, and I will be nowhere else. But I'm sure we can help those who inherited the Lord's will in previous worlds when they're in trouble. "

"Oh, no..."

"Can't you change it anymore?

Supporting Hal, who was slowly about to collapse while holding onto the white holy sword that Altrius released, Altrius quietly shook his neck to the left and right as Ellesia asked the question again.

"I told the Sun God I couldn't do it until today... and he waited until the formation of the Northern Union, and I can't postpone it any longer."

Altrius' body, laying down his eyes slightly, began to shed light.

Perhaps there really is no respite anymore.

"I wrote to everyone and left them inside my namesake altar. I guess I would have to say hello myself, but I can't tell you... I want you to give it to me."

"Okay..."

As Erlacia answered with her tear-filled eyes, Altrius nodded gently and turned his attention to Hull.

"Haruyoshi, these past few years have been the best period of my life that has been an affair. Because the Lord did what he had to do, succeeded to my will, and carried out the reconstruction and development of this city, it became clear that my regrettable life was not in vain either. Say Thank You. '

"Is there anything... wrong with that? I can put my chest up, right?

Altrius laughed frantically as Hal said with a crying smile on his face.

'Waha, that's for sure, but you're not tight on that face... but thank you, my successor... no, be my comrade and friend... and... farewell!

Altrius said so with a smile on his face as he spread his right hand and raised it to his shoulder.

At that moment, Altrius' body sparkles light, which eventually overflows to the point where it can be seen in Cilentium, and finally the light becomes grain.

The grained light is scattered throughout the Cilentium, and it melts into all things, little by little, to everyone in this city.

And the last light scattered, and the darkness returned.

"It's gone..."

"Yes."

"We have to stick together."

"Right."

The feast continues.

No one but two knows that Altrius has fallen into a deep sleep.

Celebration voices and music echo the Cilentium, and the lights illuminate the whole city with brilliance.

Hal remained firmly in touch with Ellesia and continued to see the night view of Cilentium, which Altrius would have been watching for the last time.

Cilentium Central Square, Aquarius fountain top stage

A large ball of light appeared in front of Aquarius sitting at the fountain's erupting mouth.

"You... Artrius, right? Are you sure? I'll take it. '

As Aquarius affirmed the words he uttered while pointing to the ball itself, the ball dashed brightly.

But Aquarius sighed when he watched the balls for a while.

'... I really think I like it, too, but sometimes it's called fallen in love weakness... and the contract is good to go on, Altrius'

When the balls blink as bewildered, Aquarius laughs all the time and carries on the words.

"... is that good?

Ball to brighten again.

"It's a city completed by your will… it's fun to help people today, and kids are cute, okay, contracts mean being out-of-the-box, and I'll work with you too"

With that said, Aquarius held the glowing balls to his chest with both hands out, and the balls even entered Aquarius' chest as he shed light.

Warm, great force pulses within Aquarius' body.

'So sleep in me for a while, Altrius. The time will surely come when you will be needed again... then, unfortunately, I will let you out'

Smiling so lovely, he put his hands on his chest, and Aquarius shifted his gaze to the streets watched by his great soul.

'There is no eternity, but eternity is possible, and that's the world of men... and I get it a little, too, Altrius. I'm sure some will succeed you, Haryoshi... so don't worry, your will is forever'

The Northern Union will continue to develop under the precise policy and war guidance of the Protector of the North, Hal Akircius, supported by its competent officials and military personnel, and will remain famous in history as a power alongside the Western Empire in the western part of the continent.

Northern Union, which has since developed through many wars and crises.

During the crisis, strange ancient heroes were bound to emerge from nowhere, giving accurate advice to aspiring leaders of time, he said.

I'll see you then...
