Chapter 123 (1/2)

The battle began with a surprise attack

“An attack from behind!”

It was just at thefile created by 500 soldiers, finished the e

The instant she heard the voice, Alyssa stood up soundlessly and turned her look towards the rear

“Miyukare-san, stay here” (Alyssa)

“G-Got it!” (Miyukare)

Being inexperienced with battle, Miyukare steps into the carriage while lowering her body in this suddenly strained atmosphere

At the sae

“Director, it’s this way!”

Being called out by a soldier on the platfore, she nion

“Hurry!” (Alyssa)

“Roger!”

The platforon of Fokalore’s feudal army, which had experienced one is like cushi+on e wheels rising its appearance and performance remarkably

Becoon, there’s no proble

The platforon advances as it makes an unique sound of shuru shuru due to the axles and cushi+oning, ainst each other

Responding swiftly to the previous voice, the soldiers went ahead by separating from the ranks of the non-co towards the rear

“Be cautious of attacks coht! One third of our numbers will deal with the rear!” (Alyssa)

While giving orders in a loud voice, they arrive at the end of the file

“A human-shaped monster!?”

One of the soldiers steering the platforon screamed

Alyssa also saw that bizarre figure

Both its arer than those of a normal human All of its nails are sharp and thick

It easily possesses a height of three , was hairy and had an aed muscles

Only its head had a face strongly tending towards that of a human Alyssa had memories about that face

“That is… if I remember correctly, in the capital…” (Alyssa)

It was no one else but the knight Balzephon which Alyssa had provoked in the castle and lured to the dance hall where Hifu

She still recalled his expression of tree

“The human-shaped monster… Balzephon, it was him” (Alyssa)

Alyssa had a bitter expression due to theiracross it while withdrawing

Once she surveyed the site, she saw several soldiers being injured and shedding blood Creating a wall by toppling over a feagons, they shot spears at Balzephon

“Send the injured to the ranks in front after I attract its attention!” (Alyssa)

Alyssa ju

“That’s dangerous, director!”

The soldier, who operated a spear thrower in the shadoagon, tried to stop her, but she quickly slipped through his hands

“It’s been a while!” (Alyssa)

Balzephon shi+fted his focus and opened his hollow eyes widely due to Alyssa’s voice

It totally doesn’t look like there’s consciousness dwelling in thenise Alyssa

Towards an opponent that has merely half the size of himself, Balzephon simply raises his arms overhead to attack

“Without any particular reaction, eh? In that case” (Alyssa)

As he swings down his long ar at her face with her wakizashi+ She used the i her balance violently towards theforith a somersault

And yet she didn’t come out of it unhurt Her cheek was cut deeply and blood was pouring out

“Gu…”

A heartbreaking cry is raised by the soldier who saw that, but she has no leeway to react to that

Closing in underfoot of Balzephon while rolling forward, she swung her wakizashi+ and cut open a calf

“Gaaaaaaaaa!” (Balzephon)

Two, three spears pierce into his back as he squats dohile raising a scream

“Guuuuu…!”

“Alright!” (Alyssa)

The h underfoot, tried to pursue hi unbelievable

Although she should have definitely cut up the muscles and caused an injury to the tendon of his ankle, he has already stopped bleeding and the wound is on the verge of being completely closed

“That's a lie…” (Alyssa)

Alyssa movements stop albeit only for an instant

Ai for that moment, Balzephon drew out a spear, which caused pain to him, and casually threw it at Alyssa

“Auu!” (Alyssa)

It was good luck for her that the spear had no blade and was only sharpened at its tip to be used by the spear throwers

Having the collarbone of the hit shoulder broken, even her right arged into it and the forearm was fractured by the strike

Although she soed to switch the wakizashi+ into her left hand, Alyssa, who ended up collapsing due to the i it difficult for her to stand up

“Director! Everyone, shower it with all the spears we got! We will save the director!”

“””Yea!”””

Three soldiers risk their lives by leaping in front of Balzephon and at the sa the spears si them who throw the spears with their own hands

Covering Alyssa so that the spears won’t hit her, the three soldiers thought of only protecting Alyssa even while they were scared to death by occasional spears hitting their ar down steadily

“Aaaaaaaaaa!”

Even Balzephon, who knocked down spears while displaying his own ability, was naturally unable to handle such an ahith several spears pierced into his body

None of the soldiers try to chase him and they all rush over to Alyssa at once

“Director! Are you alright!?”

“Uuh…” (Alyssa)

Sweating profoundly, the groaning Alyssa opens her eyes and surveys the vicinity

Countless soldiers are peering worriedly at her face

Even the soldiers, who risked their bodies to protect her, two of the ready to place her on a stretcher by supporting Alyssa’s neck without even wiping their faces which were smeared with dirt

The re upwards withoutwith a twitch

The soldiers, who noticed Alyssa staring duly closed their eyes

“Director…”

“That guy, at the ti its spear…”

The soldiers report the circumstances with squeezed-out voices

“… Such a…” (Alyssa)

He has beco the Fokalore feudal army trained by Hifumi

There were also accidents during training and deaths from diseases and afflictions unrelated to the military It wasn’t the first ti his life in order to protect her, even more so in front of her, in co her forget the pain of her own injuries

“A-Aaaaaa…” (Alyssa)

“Alyssa-sama!” (Miyukare)

At the tih the soldiers, slid in front of Alyssa

WithoutAlyssa and applies a clean cloth on Alyssa’s cut cheek

Showing surprise only for an instant due to the obviously fractured arm, Miyukare, who iently hugged Alyssa while being cautious of not touching her arm as much as possible

“Let’s get your injuries healed first That’s the job of the person as protected” (Miyukare)

“Miyukare-san…” (Alyssa)

The soldiers placed Alyssa, who lost consciousness just like that, on a stretcher and carried her to the carriage upon Miyukare’s orders

“Carry the corpse to a carriage or wagon that has space left, too” (Miyukare)

As they agreed upon the case so happened to Alyssa, the command is transferred to Miyukare

“Are we close to a nearby city? There’s a city close-by in the direction we returned froh”

While pointing her look at Alyssa, who’s being carried, Miyukare thought about the question posed by a soldier leading a platoon with closed eyes

“… Let’s head towards Fokalore as planned I’ic potions if I request it from Lord-sama” (Miyukare)

The expression of Miyukare, who saw the soldier nod while saying “I see”, was completely like that of a fierce God

Beco bloodstained froed Alyssa, she is overwhelaze at the level of being able to kill people with it
