Chapter 6 (2/2)
He quickly tosses his spear aside and draws the sword from his waist
Cavalrymen are behind him with their spears at the ready, and infantrymen with their swords drawn
But even if they did atteainst a spirit weapon
Although her fighting abilities are originally high, her physical abilities were likely drastically raised by the divine protection of a spirit
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stop Dios’s spear so easily
Dios lets out a deep breath as he thinks
If they ive the eneh time to make contact with them
In which case, the ones to get captured will be Dios’s side Total annihilation would be inevitable
Dios raised his sword and let out a shout which rang through the plains
「Alright boys! Even if your comrades are about to fall, don’t stop to help the back!」
「Yeah!」
「Charge!!!」
Dios swung his sword down, kicked the side of his horse, and dashed straight towards the plains
「Oooooooohhh!」
He raised a rousing warcry, and following behind hions were abandoned
Immediately, Dios and his cavalry unit clashed with the enemy’s heavy cavalry unit
「Come on!」
Dios steals a spear from an enemy, and knocks the heavy cavalryman from atop his horse
Soon, his aide riding by his side yelled out
「Captain Dios! We’ve been separated from the units behind us!」
The cavalry and infantry units behind were trampled down by the enemy’s heavy cavalry
Their daily training is not half hearted Neither does their experience fall behind the 1st Imperial Army’s
However, nuainst the heavy cavalry
This was because they were lightly equipped for the sake of mobility
「Leave them!」
Dios had no other choice but to make such a decision
They were overwhelly outnumbered There was no way they could be saved
Regardless, as if he couldn’t completely throay the hope to save them, the aide could not look away
「We can still make it in time!」
「Do you not understand the situation?!」
「B-But, they are valuable private soldiers given to us frohness!」
「They’re alsomyself!」
The aide did not press the matter further
No, maybe it’s more accurate to say that he couldn’t
This was because Dios’s face was steeped in rage
With an expression of an ogre, he thrusted at the onco enemies and smashed his spear into them
Each time he did this, he would steal their spears as he ended their lives
「Move it! You weaklings shouldn’t be blocking my path!」
「Are you the 「Ogre」, you bastard?! You’re rather skilled! I can test ainst you!」
An enemy joyfully yelled out to Dios as he approached him
He was a heavy cavalryn of a captain
「Shut up!」
Dios changed his grip to hold the spear horizontally and tossed it with all his ht
「Guoh!」
The spear pierced his hele amount of blood flew out from the cracks
「Th-The captain was-?!」
Before the heavy cavalry
As blood sprayed up, Dios pointed his sword to his right, completely dyed in red
「We’re cutting across the enes and follow me!」
Even if they got past the heavy cavalry, what lied in ere the heavy infantrymen
There was the archery unit as well Plunging towards them on purpose was a foolish choice
Dios chose to break through the left flank to avoid that
He was not mistaken When they broke away from the battlefield, their cavalry unit had dwindled to 20 units
Bunadara sighed at the soldiers avoiding her
「Really now… Such a poor plan…」
Bunadara turned back, and what she saas the ht cavalry clashed
The fallen cavalry units were tra infantry units were crushed to death
Her aide would constantly give her a status report, so she was not worried at all
This would likely end soon with few casualties on her side
More ihts of the Sixth Princess
Three cavalrymen approached her They dismounted their horses, touched their hands to their chest and knelt on one knee
「Approximately 20 units broke away We captured 60 units and the rest are dead We cannot confir the dead Furthermore, we have confirmed the captain’s death, and the death of 12 heavy cavalry to confirht wounds」
「I see There are more casualties than I predicted Also, treat the 60 captured private soldiers of the Sixth Princess kindly Any who abuse or treat them harshly will be severely punished Also, be sure to respectfully bury the dead」
「Understood Will we pursue them?」
「No, leave them be」
「But, the Sixth Princess… It was his highness’s order to kill her」
「Even if we chased after and captured the theroup」
「Is it not possible she was in disguise?」
「I did think of the possibility, but considering the 6th Princess’s personality, I doubt that’s likely She is not one to quietly stand by in the rear… Also, the number of infantrymen does not roups」
「I see Then where is her highness?」
Bunadara contemplates
No doubt she’s thinking of the empire’s territory in her head
After a short while, her mouth immediately formed into a smile
「The small country of Baum Did she cross over Himmel mountain?」
「Why would she go there…?」
「They likely split into two groups thinking the successor to the Imperial throne would dispatch an army That decision was not mistaken」
「Will we go to Baum as well?」
「A poor move If we entered a country without notice or permission with this ardless of it being a doive an opening for the other successors to take advantage of the situation, and Third Prince Brutar’s position would be in danger」
「Then, ill you do?」
「As we first planned, let us head for Margrave Grinda’s territory」
「As you wish」
Bunadara turned away from the soldier whose head was lowered, and looked towards the Grauzar its prey
