Tower of Karma
Chapter 66 Last night before final mountain battle
”What is this happening all of a sudden? At this rate—”
Nikka's voice echoed within the enclosure of the Noir Guard. Volf stopped polis.h.i.+ng his sword and said,
”At this rate, it will look like the war has stagnated because we took command? Exactly. That was their aim. It was the work of the perfectionist, White Mask.”
Ywain and the others stopped drinking.
”With that, no one in the Nehderk army will think of letting us have command. And even if there are any, they would be the minority. Now that it has already happened, we probably won't get the right to command unless we can turn the situation around. But White Mask won't do something as stupid as just letting us have our way. We would have to do it in an instant.”
He wanted to remove the Noir Guard from the center of the battle even if it meant losing a little. One could also look at it like he was afraid of Volf's command to that extent.
”The battlefield just became rigid all of a sudden. In reality, our form was still not broken. It looks like we are being pushed but, we are holding our own properly.”
It would look as if the Nehderks were overwhelmingly being pushed back throughout the whole battlefield. In fact, everyone surrounding the current commander are probably thinking something along those lines. But it is only made to be seen like that. It isn't actually as bad as it looks.
”They will also probably come aiming for the commander's head. We have two options, to sit back doing nothing and lose or be prepared to be taken down and strike the enemy while making many sacrifices.”
Nikka tore off her bandages without saying anything. Her wounds have not yet healed. Her silence, which protested that there was no way they would lose and retreat like this.
Ywain and the others also dropped their wine and started equipping their weapons.
(Kukku, you guys are all idiots. Really, that's why you guys are the best.)
There was no way Volf would sit and watch them lose like this either. He was confident that he was much more superior. He was confident that he had better troops. If that's the case then, there is no way they would lose.
”Alright, we will take the White Mask's head tomorrow and let Oppai-chan join us!”
”Alriiightttttttttt!!”
And just like that, their morales had risen.
”Okay, you die today.”
Nikka threw a knife with all her strength at Volf. Volf slightly dodged the knife but then started getting punched. With swift movements, from which one could not even tell she was wounded, she strangled Volf's neck and waited for his apology wearing a smile.
”G-Gan't breath.”
That was Volf's last word's for the day.
”…..You have any complaints?”
Seeing their general's appearance, with bubbles coming out of his mouth, there were no other idiots who would dare get excited over oppai. Nikka had given away the feminine life but her heart was still of a maiden. She bears a perfectly level chest but, when there's an idiot pointing it out, she turns into Shura. It can't be helped.
”War meeting, tomorrow morning. Dismissed.”
The scarcity of words too were scary. Everyone went to their bed in low spirit.
When there was no one there anymore–
