Chapter 13 (1/2)
Chapter 1, Episode 13: Execution
A black , it filled the entire sky
It peaked at its arch, then fell with great force, almost like torrential rain
「Here it comes! Stay low and raise your shi+elds!」
『『Ohh!』』
In an instant, thousands of arrows hit the ground
CRASH—
The sound of a thunderous roar, like a stor down, took over the battlefield as the onslaught of arrows pierced the shi+elds of the infantrymen
After waiting for the sound to stop, Liz shouted
「Create a wall!」
A group of large soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder, about 6 men wide
There, the heavy infantry unit thrust their shi+elds into the ground and stand ready against the onco enemy soldiers before them
Liz and her men chose a narrow path with cliffs on either side as the location in which to engage the enemy
—Invalidate the enee of the land
Even if they number 3,000 men, there’s no way they can destroy the cliffs to advance
And so, naturally, it becoroups of small numbers
Liz threw a spear at the charging enemy
「Gah!」
She does an iet, but a new enemy climbs over the corpse and approaches
「Archery unit! Fire!」
As soon as she swung Laevateinn up, a flurry of arrows flew above head from behind
All the arrows shot froets
The front line of enemies become corpses They hinder the advance of the soldiers behind thereat force
However, more soldiers simply tra their momentum
『『Ohh!』』
A war cry loud enough to shake the air jolts their ears
「Princess, to the rear!」
The heavy infantry units flex their arrit their teeth
The winds change direction and a cloud of sand envelops them
BOOM—
As the sound of a collision rings out, the sound ofcan be heard as well
「Haa!」
As the cloud of dust gets pushed aside by the wind pressure, Liz thrust out Laevateinn
Liz feels contact She then pulls her sword out and continues to swing to the side
While feeling out the presence of her enemies, Liz continued her attacks without pause
When a gust of wind blew through the spaces between the wall and cleared everyone’s view, Liz was surrounded by a mountain of corpses
A short distance away from her, Tris mon his enemies with a spear
「Princess! You’re pressing too far out! Come back!」
「Not yet! I’ to finish off as many enemies as I can here!」
The eneh the narrow path as they reach Liz
『Urahh!』
「There’s no way an attack like that would hit me!」
『Goh!』
She cuts down each of the the rushi+ng enemy soldiers with a stroke of her sword
「Grahh!」
『Gahh!』
Cerberus jued out the flesh of another soldier’s neck with his fangs
He ju lives as his white coat began to turn red
Liz pivots on her right leg and swings Laevateinn down
「Hah!」
She lops off the ar to take her rear
『Gaaaaahh!』
She ignores the screanificant soldier and pierces an ene his life
Using that momentum, she twists her body and lops off the head of an enemy to the left of the previous one
『Goh!』
Finally, she severs the head of one last insignificant soldier who had lost both arms
「I’ll buy us some time」
A mass of flames spews out from her crimson blade and an explosion envelops the area
『Gah!』
『R-Retreat!』
It would be no si procession pushi+ng through narrow passage
Most of the eneony becoins to waft throughout the battlefield
Liz runs off, cutting down and pushi+ng aside the enemies between her and her allies who have been cut off from the rest of their army
By the time she rejoined with Tris, she had created a path of dead bodies
「Princess! Are you hurt?!」
「I’m okay More iet ready for the next wave」
Now that she had sohts went to Hiro
They separated in a horrible way As she recalled Hiro’s hurt face, she started to feel regretful
If by chance she were able to see hiize in all sincerity
Though that hat she planned to do, it was less to think about that before the battle was over
(The battle’s only just begun…)
Liz forces a strained smile as she pets Cerberus’s head
