“Jerohts and h the enemy’s center”
“Yes, understood”
Jerohts of the South gathered, having already garnered many remarkable contributions on the battlefield in this war
The Southern knights now consisted of not only Milton and Jerohts sent by the nobles of the Southern region With Princess Leila’s knights also added for support, this current rendition of the knight order was Milton’s trump card for frontal matches
“Are we ready?”
“You only need to give us the word”
Milton tightly put on and secured his hele began
“For the Repub- GAH!”
“Stop… stop thenashi+ng through a great wave With Milton personally at the forefront, they cut through the Republican soldiers with their terrifyingforth with no regard for their own lives, there was a difference in strength which could not be overco Milton and Jeroht’s order of the Southern arst the enehts ere yet to be Experts but were certainly not lacking followed up from behind
It was a force that simply could not be handled by run-of-the-mill soldiers
The battle lines collapsed, and the knights did not find the disorganized troops to be threatening no h their olden opportunity for us Fire!”
Right on cue, Trike commanded his archer unit with a bellow There was no need to be sparing with their arrows This was the time to pile it on to maximize their results
“AAAAGH!”
“KAAAH!”
Even these troops who had been advancing relentlessly like zo upon theood as decided
Though there stood a chance for the Republican are, the knights’ charge and Trike’s rear support nullified it
There was only one thing left now: to take the head of the enemy commander
“Where is Milton Forrest!?”
Alfred thundered as he fought in the fray One knight answered his call and rushed to him

Alfred narrowed his eyes at the knight who approached him with a pompous shout
“Are you Milton Forrest?”
“Why should our lord meddle with the likes of you? I am Rick Storie Remember it hen I send you on your way to the next world”
It was one of Milton’s close men, Rick Alfred’s eyebroitched

For the first time in his life, Rick Storie experienced the attack of an Expert with a sincere intent to kill Of course, he had been bent over backwards countless ti with Jerome and Milton, but actual combat was different fro experience allowed hile blow – but his resultant state was unsightly nonetheless

“Indeed I as
“As you can see, the battle has completely tipped in our favor Would you not like to surrender and save your men’s lives, at the least?”
As an answer, Alfred readied his sword

Milton stormily muttered under his breath

“What did the likes of you just…”
A fire lit inside Alfred’s eyes with his righteousness stained, and he was about to object But Milton no longer felt the need to exchange words
