Although it was partly a forcedexplained to the residents that it was inevitable due to the war, the ress

Facing the residents, Alyssa said 「You will be able to come back the day after tomorrow」 While they were only half-convinced by such words, the residents cah co us down, huh?

The portion of soldiers, who stayed up all night to prepare for the battle, were still within their dreams

The soldiers, continuing by taking shi+fts, lined up several vehicles on each of the two rail tracks and installed spear throwers on the rear wagon of the rail cars

The wagons before those were used to transport the reserve spears while at the sa force

Up until this day, today, the chances for Kasha to speak with Origa had increased little by little

Although Origa still displayed the same cold attitude towards her, it wasn’t like she conored her

At the current rate they inal relationshi+p slowly She also held onto the fleeting hope of the days once again someday

Around the tiround shook with the sounds of feet fro from the direction of Rhone

The soldiers of the territorial ar watch at the exit towards Rhone warned their allies of the nearing ene

As they confirues on top of the gate towards Fokalore, the soldiers on watch withdrew at full speed

They were told to escort the evacuees on their es

As a matter of fact there was absolutely no motivation for them to risk their lives in the war

Because crossing swords with the eneiven if they stole that opportunity

Around the time when the soldiers on watch left the city with such an excuse, Hifu pose between two rail cars with installed spear throwers

In his hand he held the kusarigama (T/N: sickle and chain weapon)

While he was bored and thus swung the counterweights on both sides around, the soldiers, who had boarded the rail cars, set up the spear throwers and waited impatiently and nervously

Hifuhtened his back and performed a beautiful bow

“I am honoured to overning the territory of Toono, my name is Hifumi” (Hifumi)

“You said Hifumi? It’s you bastard, huh?!” (Buer)

“Oya, for some reason it seems my name has become famous even over there in Vichy” (Hifumi)

Looking over his shoulders, Origa returned a 「That’s only natural!」 on top of the rail car

“Raise the speed after properly hitting them We will have them run for a while” (Hifumi)

Origa and Alyssa conveyed the instructions of Hifu on top the rail cars, to the soldiers sequentially

Urged on by the voice of Buer telling those, ere stu over or such, to avoid the fallen soldiers or even tread on them, but no matter what to chase them, Vichy’s soldiers frantically advanced forward

There was a lot of cavalry in the vanguard troops Even with Buer running wildly without concerning hi behind, the distance spread steadily

Lured by the group that was eagerly pursuing at the front, the entire ar fast At the time the end of the line left the city of Arosel, they were assaulted by a large quantity of spears hurled at thehway
