Vol 2 Chapter 38 (2/2)
(If I can stop the enemy here, the impression Hodram has toward me would improve. Since Hodram who was on a decline would need a trustworthy subordinate!)
That was what Kyle had in mind.
He was thinking of raising his appeal towards Hodram so that he would receive even better treatment once they reached Thalluja Kingdom, that was the only reason that Kyle allowed Hodram to escape with his family first.
In other words, he a.s.sumed a dangerous position to reap the benefits from Hodram, after all, if they were only mere bandits then they would be no match for Kyle.
Even if he suddenly received a surprised attack, he predicted he would be able to survive and win by making use of their sheer power and equipment.
Of course, if the people who attacked him was Princess Lupis’s subordinates, then his calculation would be thrown far off.
(What should I do? What should I do to survive?)
Kyle thinks desperately.
Around them, the sounds of swords clas.h.i.+ng against each other gradually become fewer.
Since the mercenaries were able to deal with the knights one by one.
(This is bad! If this continues... there's no other choice... If escaping to the forest is impossible then...)
Kyle directed his eyes forward.
Even if he were to escape, he would just end up being pursued.
He must make the enemy confused in order for him to escape the pursuers.
(That's it! Over there is the enemy's headquarter! There's no other way than break through and attack that place at once!)
Kyle spotted a small group that hasn’t moved since the beginning of the battle.
He judged that it must be the enemy's commander.
”Listen! Keep pus.h.i.+ng forward! We will attack the enemy's commander!”
”Are we going to break through the enemy?!”
The Knights become noisy.
However, they immediately quiet down.
After all, no one else had thought up of another solution to survive.
”Listen! Only focus on the enemy in front of you! Kill all those who stand before you!”
Kyle only demands one thing from the Knights.
And that is to kill the enemy who stands in the direction where they are advancing towards.
Straightforward and clear orders restore the knight's spirit who was caught in fear.
(That's right! Push and kill!)
(If I want to survive, kill!)
(Kill, Kill and only Kill!)
Within the knight's heart, they only want to kill Ryouma.
”””OOOOoooh!”””
Their fighting spirit was burned up once again.
”PUUUs.h.!.+”
Following Kyle's order, the knights begin to push the mercenaries back.
Just like how a cornered mouse will bite the cat.
Kyle who was driven to the corner due to Ryouma's plan is similar to that of a mouse.
And now, Kyle tried to bet his life on the line by engaging Ryouma head on.
”Khuu! What's going on! Somehow they managed to gain some momentum!”
”Calm down! That was just their last resistance!”
Being pushed by the knights who suddenly gain their momentum, the mercenaries movement was stopped.
”Stupid! What are you doing?!”
”This is bad nee-san! If we stay like this, they will break our front line!”
While wipping some blood stuck on her sword Lione clicked her tongue after hearing Bolts words.
”Enough! I will personally handle the front then!”
Originally, she is a warrior.
Although she can command troops, her real value lies in her competence as a warrior but Bolt couldn’t let her go to somewhere so dangerous either.
”You can't nee-san! Did you forget what young master had said?!”
”Stupid! This is not the time for that! If we leave it like this then...”
The G.o.ddess of war is smiling at Kyle this time around.
While Lione and Bolts were arguing with each other, Kyle managed to break through.
”Nee-san,it’s dangerous!!”
Bolt covered for Lione.
A sword clashed against each other in high speed.
”Khuu! Who are you trying to obstruct me!”
The men voice resounded and he raises his swords fast aimed at Lione.
”You!”
”Are you the leader of this people?! Why did you attack us?! Well whatever, whether you're a bandit or Lupis’s follower, there's no difference, die!”
Kyle sword began to move toward Lione's head who was caught off guard.
Clear murderous intent can be felt coming out from him.
”DIE!”
”d.a.m.n it! Nee-san!”
”Dodge! Bolts!”
Bolts and Lione were prepared for death.
*Hiyu*
Suddenly the sounds of wind being cut can be heard.
*Clank*
”Who?! Who is it?”
Kyle shouted while trying to fix his stance after deflecting a blade flying at him.
*Hiyu, Hiyu*
*Clank, clank*
Kyle desperately knocked down the blade that was being aimed at him from somewhere.
”d.a.m.n it! Show yourself!”
Around Kyle, the knights who had survived the break through standing surrounding him
Only five of them left.
”Boy...”
What reflected in front of Lione's eyes is Ryouma.
”Are you alright? Lione-san.”
”Y-Yes! You too, where did you come from?!”
”It's fine, let's talk later... Lione-san and Bolts-san should withdraw here and command the remaining units.”
”But!”
”It's fine... This guy is mine.”
Ryouma's eyes s.h.i.+ne coldly.
His gaze freezes Kyle and his knights for a moment.
”It's you huh?! You're the one who interfered!”
Ignoring Kyle's words, Ryouma pulls his sword in silent.
”I will personally eliminate you, Kyle Irunia-san.” <tln: in=”” case,=”” this=”” is=”” kyle's=”” surname=”” ”イルーニア,”=”” and=”” yes,=”” it=”” sounded=”” like=”” a=”” girl.=””>
Then he performs ‘Kage no Kamae’, a stance where he hides the end of his word behind his back.
”You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! We won't let you touch Kyle-dono!”
The knights around Kyle began standing in front of him tried to protect him.
However, in the next moment, blood splashed out from their neck.
”Do not disturb my lord. Youngsters.”
From the shadow, Genou appeared while wiping blood from his sword.
No one realizes how fast his movement was.
Despite the confusing battlefield, there are five knights left.
Yet he was able to kill all of them in a single moment. For his enemy, his movement is equal to that of a G.o.d of death.
”W-Wha-What are you!”
Kyle raises his eyebrow in surprise and fear.
”You don't have to mind me. I only want to get rid of the hindrance. Your opponent is my lord over there...”
That was the cold words coming out from the person whom Kyle thought to be a G.o.d of death.
Ryouma and Kyle.
The fates between the two will be decided here and now.
