Chapter 73 - Revolution (2/2)

「…If both advance and retreat mean the same. Then we should advance and die running forward.」

「So we are going to die, aren’t we?!」

I shout in lament to the words he spoke while tearing down the enemy.

What a mess! I was too careless because we had Taiki-sama’s golems.

We should have waited for the golems to return before invading the castle, no matter the circumstances. I hate myself for allowing Aifa to stare me down.

「So-Someone save me!」

As I was screaming I deployed a wind technique towards the large number of soldiers that were approaching.

【Mea]

As we descended from the sky to the Empire’s capital, the sight of soldiers running through the city came into view.

「……They look busy. Could it be that Aifa and others were discovered…」

The moment Schnee said that a sound came from the castle. Despite the considerable distance, the noise of destruction reached out ears.

Almost simultaneously with Schnee I turned to its source and saw that a part of the wall on the top floor of the castle has collapsed and has fallen to the ground.

I don’t know what happened, but Aifa and others must be there.

「Let’s break into the castle.」

Taiki-sama’s golem immediately changed course towards the castle after I said that.

「Wa-Wait?! That’s obviously reckless?!」

Schnee said with a surprised look. Receiving such reply I lowered my head and clenched my teeth.

It certainly is dangerous and I do think it’s a reckless choice.

However, there is no doubt that something is happening in the castle. And sure that it’s related to Aifa, Yuri and Ditzen.

In other words, the last elf should be in that castle.

My mission is to rescue the elf, so there is no option of drawing back here.

「It will be fine if we act together with Taiki-sama’s golems. It should go well if we rush inside, rescue them right away and escape.」

「I think it will be rough but…」

「If we don’t go in now, the elf, Yuri-sama and everyone else will be executed.」

「Ugh……」

Schnee groaned with a glum expression. And then shook his head with a sigh.

「Haaah…… I understand. It can’t be helped. I’ve already resolved myself to die once anyway. Let’s go for the last fight.」

「It’s okay, we won’t die.」

「Yes, yes.」

Schnee replied with a bit of a bitter laugh.

As I sat on the shoulder of Taiki-sama’s golem, I lightly patted the golem’s head and took a deep breath.

It’s fine. We have Taiki-sama’s golems, there is no way we can lose.

I said to myself in my mind and then turned to use my eyes and ears to probe the situation in the castle.
