Day 182 after being sue)
At the tiround Elena carried out her revenge deep inside the forest
”damn it! Protect the General and his family!”
”Follow h!”
Different orders flew fro battlefield
A person suggests protecting Hodram
One tried to gather soh
While their arets broken bit by bit, they desperately deflect the attacks that came at them
However, reality is a cruel thing
Their good luck was not being rewarded
While holding shi+eld and sword trying to break through the encirclement, one after another they fall down into the earth
The number Hodram has on his side is about 30 people
In contrast, Elena has 200 people under her command
Because the troops of both sides are Knights, the effect from the difference in numbers has become apparent
Currently, Hodraot a his escape
This trap is actually Ryou
While Ryou, Elena acted as the hunter
Such measure has proven to be very successful
”Elena-sa as instructed After this what left is to take Hodram and his families heads”
”Good Looking at the process I can already see the result Ryoureat job”
Elena nodded her head andthe report from her adjutant
”But still To think that it worked so well That young ”
Her adjutantattention to the battle development
In front of his eyes, there is a battle that could be described as a total massacre
Of course, it was Elena's side who massacred the enemy
Having four to five knights ganged up against one of the enehts, one can already see the result of the battle
Furtherhts also surrounded the area in case someone escaped
Only death rehts who followed Hodram
And this kind of situation was created by a man named Mikoshi+ba Ryouma
In the adjutant eyes, fear toward such a man can be seen
”I guess so, he's indeed a great man Are you by chance scared of him?”
After praising Ryouma with a smile on her face, Elena asked a question toward her adjutant
The smile she displayed previously disappear from her expression
Her adjutant kept quiet toward her question
Such attitude speaks his true feelings
At least, for now, Ryoudom
It would be fine to admire Ryouma's ability as an ally
However, Elena's adjutant can't erase the uneasiness that appears in his mind
(Certainly, he had ies and coreat However, he is not soer if such strategist were to get appointed by the ene to happen?)
He acknowledges Ryouma's ability
Of course, the adjutant’s thought is nothing but iination without basis
And of course, he also understands that his fear was only his iination, but he still fears Ryouma
Such feeling is also attributed due to how Ryoudom
He does not pledge his allegiance to Princess Lupis, nor does he have any sense of affinity for the Kingdom
It was by accident that Ryouma and Princess Lupis become an acquaintance
And the executives under Princess Lupis know that
That's why Elena's adjutant was terrified of Ryouma's achievement and capabilities
”I see, so you're really afraid of him huh? Well, I can understand the reason why you're that worried I've received this kind of consultation several times already”
Elena's muttered those words with lonely expression
Hearing her words, the adjutant expression changed
The worst possibility appears in his mind
And that is the thing called assassination, but
”I've told the others to not do soht accidentally stir up a snake by poking the bush which ht end up badly for us”
Elena shrugged her shoulders and said those words
”Is that about the possibility of killing Mikoshi+ba Ryouma?”
Elena did not deny her adjutant's question
After all, it was the truth that such plan was suggested by some people already
(I guess, this is like the saying 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered in' huh?)
Within the adjutant’s heart, there is feelings of vexation and also desolation
Certainly, he was afraid of Mikoshi+ba Ryouma
However, he never had an idea to assassinate someone just because of that
(However, no one has achieved more than him in this civil war It was thanks to him that Princess Lupis could take down General Hodrah he is not a citizen of the Rozeria Kingdoreatest achievement by assassination is a bit)
One can saya nation is not all pretty
For that, the adjutant can understand
However, he can't really accept if they decide to assassinate Ryouma
There's also another problee such thing
It is fine to choose assassination as a measure
However, to perform that, a certain condition must be met
And the condition is to 'not fail'
They have to be absolutely successful in doing it
If the assassination ends up as a failure, they reater than Hodram and Gerhardt
That's why the adjutant didn't feel the need to kill Ryouma due to such risk
(The best outcodoether)
But that is easier to say than done
The social status barrier in this kingdododom
”Elena-sa this problem?”
”Mine? Of course, I'ainst it After all, it was thanks to him that I can kill Hodraht actually end up with a erous enemy”
Toward the adjutant's question, Elena tried to speak auously
Even with such auous answer, a conclusion can be drawn easily
The problem is, whether or not one has the deter
When that tidom
After all, no dom has betrayed him
Nevertheless, Elena is a knight of Rozeria Kingdom
There's no choice for her other than to fight anyone who becomes the enemy of the country
”But If he really ends up as the enedom At that time”
Elena's last words were being cuts off fro the adjutant
”””Uoooooh!”””
””We caught them!””
Drowned by the cheers that sprigged up from the battlefield
”Are you guys injured? Listen, ill try to break through the siege Hold htly! Keep your focus and don't pay too !”
Hodrah the siege while covering his wife and daughter behind him
The horse-drawn carriage has turned into a useless thing after the horse pulling the carriage was killed by the enemy
After the horse was killed, he quickly takes his wife and daughter out froe
However, Elena's encircle that can be said to be like an iron wall, Hodram's escape routes have already been sealed off
In the end, he had no choice but to forcefully break through the encirclement
However, this world is not as sweet as to allow such story to happen
Due to hih the encirclean to decrease one by one
”Father”
The face of his daughter turns pale due to having people withher
Until just a feeeks ago, she was the daughter of an influential person within the country So into the battlefield
Yet, fate threw her into current predicament
”It's fine! I'm here after all! You just have to keep your attention toward me and run!”
Hodram raises his voice to reassure his wife and children
He understands that if he shows a slight hesitation it would end up break the two ladies hearts
”It's fine Believe in your father”
His daughter nods her head toward her mother words
Or rather, is there even another option other than agreeing to it? the answer is none
”Here we go!”
Following Hodrahts around him nodded their head
Their number is four people
Fro him only four remains
””Uooooh!”””
They all rushed together to break through the encircling net
They raised their swords
Swinging those swords like s
They completely abandoned their defense
After all, they had realized that if Hodra will end
And such fact turns them blind
”Your excellency! Over here!”
The encirclement collapsed for a moment due to their reckless move
”Here we go! We will rush into the forest at once!”
Hodrahter nodded their heads at his words
After he confirmed that his families are ready, they ran at once
”Your Excellency! Hurry up!”
Hearing their guard soldiers voice, they increase their speed
3 meter until they will break out the encirclement
(A little h the encirclement, ill be fine! We can escape!)
Of course, there's no guarantee that they would survive even after they break through the encirclement
However, the possibility for theh the encirclement
”Kyaaaa!”
Suddenly Hodrahter’s screams
”You insolent! Get your hands off of her! She's my”
Doga!
Dull sounds resounded
”Mother! Stop! Don't be rough with her!”
In front of Hodraht, and his wife is crouching down after being hit
It hts
Gastric acid and saliva are leaking from his wife's mouth
From the viewpoint of chivalry, people would never believe it if they were told that a knight just hit a woman
However, such beautiful things only appear on a fairy tale, on the battlefield, everything's the same
n: there’s=”” no=”” such=”” thing=”” as=”” an=”” enemy=”” you=”” can’t=”” attack=”” in=”” a=”” time=”” of=”” war=””>
Hodram becomes hesitant
(damn it! Just a little bit more! What should I do? Should I help them? No, that would be impossible Should I run just like this? But, that would hter and wife)
His line of sight crossed with his daughter
He can see from her eyes that she wants help for her and her mother
But he could do nothing
Just a little bit more run and he would be able to escape
It is practically ihter and wife here
His cold-hearted ains
It's impossible
He thought he should run away and abandon his wife and daughter
However, that would also make matters worse
(If I abandon e to escape to the Thalluja Kingdoet asylum there would be close to none)
The Thalluja Kingdom would accept Hodram because he has his wife’s parents family there
