Chapter Five: Flao[]
D’Angleterre (Angle Province)
Located in the southwest area facing the sea, these settlerants fros of Tristain over the generations
This was because there was a culture of independence here; whenever soovernment
So around a hundred years ago, when a religious leader froious country Rohly ion all rushed to join in this event Even though this displeased the king and raised his suspicions… Still the people in this region continued to ly accepted the terorous suppression
In other words, the people in D’Angleterre were slick and pleased both sides
Twenty years ago, they forced the Tristain governovernion
Because of that, they becaovernment In the end, Tristain was pressured to send an ar the incident then
That day, twenty years ago, Agnes was still only three years old Her
The three-year-old Agnes was originally collecting seashells on the seashore
Then she found so more beautiful than the pretty seashells sculptured by the waves
It was… A ring with a big ruby on it, beautiful like a fire-- It was sparkling on the finger of a young female that had been washed ashore
The three-year-old Agnes felt afraid, as she stretched out her hand to touch that ruby ring At that instant, the fe voice
“…This place is?”
“D, D’Angleterre”
After Agnes replied, the young female appeared satisfied, and nodded
After that, Agnes ran to inform the adults that she had found soh that feers she h
She called herself Vittoria Even though she was a noble, as she was a ion, she was pursued by Romalia but she escaped
A Tristain squad came to this place a month later
They burned the village indiscriminately
Fathers, rew up in… All sed by flames in an instant
The young Agnes kept running amidst the fla in
Vittoria hid Agnes under a blanket Not long after, a group of men rushed into the room
“The Romalian woman is here!”
The rough nes very scared
Following that, she heard a voice chanting a spell
The next nes hide on the bed, was surrounded by flaradually faded away, she saw so flanes to increase her resistance to fire-- It was Vittoria
Agnes’s memories ended there temporarily The next scene that was reflected in her eyes was--
A man’s neck
An ugly neck that had very obvious burn marks
Agnes was being carried piggyback by that nes understood that he was a e In other words, she understood that this was the e into ashes
Agnes’s consciousness began fading onceby the shore, wrapped in a blanket The village kept on burning in thefla her eyes
She was the only survivor
From that day, over twenty years had passed
Yet whenever she closed her eyes, she would iine those massive flames
Those massive flames that had burned her family and savior
At the other end of those flames, a man’s back would appear
After growing up, Agnes learned that incident was part of Roer for that incident was protection of Vittoria in the village who escaped froated and found out that it was conducted with the excuse of “eradicating a contagious disease”
Since there was a change in religion in Roion Hunt canes’s heart had not healed
Even though she had put an end to Richmon--the man who accepted bribes from Romalia and made the plans for that incident-- with her own hands, her revenge was still incones’s heart would not extinguish until all the people who had burned D’Angleterre to ashes were eradicated
The information bank for the Royal Army was situated at one corner of the eastern part of the Tristain Palace
Even ah positions were allowed to enter this place In fact, Agnes could be said to have worked hard to prove herself in order to earn the right to enter places like this
The Musketeer Corps that Agnes led was one of the few defending squads that would not participate in this battle of conquest against Albion, even though they were iuards In a war like this where the entire country’s strength is i in the battle as well… But theofficer for the upcos towards them
Even though the scale of the battle would be suards was equivalent to a general coher So if the i and qualified Musketeer Corps participated in this battle, it was quite likely that de Poitiers' achievements would be taken away by them So the General, who hoped to become marshal, naturally refused to let them participate in the battle That is to say, all the contributions and achieveathered by hi s
Besides, Agnes was not even a e What can a nes and her squad
Of course, the reasoning on the surface was an entirely different story He put forth a reasonable justification that, “Regarding the Musketeer Corps of the iuards, they should naturally do their uthness”
But to Agnes, this was instead a good chance
Frankly speaking, she did not care about what happened to Albion
With such a nes immersed herself in the information bank of the Royal Army, and after about teeks, she finally found the docu words ritten on the cover of that document:
“Magical Research Experimental Group”
It was a sroup of only around thirty people; it was the squad that destroyed Agnes’ village
She flipped through several pages; all the members were nobles
That guy too? There were names recorded in there that shocked her
Agnes bit her lips hard, and carefully read through each page To her dismay, quite a number of these members were already dead
Reading though it, Agnes was so surprised that she widened her eyes… I that, her expression became distorted by hatred and displeasure
This was because the page regarding the leader of the squad was ripped off It was clear who did this… Yet there was no way to find out as their leader now
She was unable to find out about the most sinful man
Agnes’s body began to tremble
In the town of Rosais, which would require two days horse ride froerous looking men appeared
It included apatch of burn scars on the side of his face… A squad led by Menvil It was just a s aura they gave off was coe squad of heavily armed spearmen
The leather coats they ere filled with stains, shohat experienced mercenaries they were Under the coat, each of the onto their weapons As to what their weapons were, it was really hard to guess
The group ca stove at an air force factory near the countryside It was a s metal tohard to coies This was because the temperature of the stove could not be increased any further; lead was still okay, but its current low temperature couldn't melt other metals
“Boss…”
“There's not enough coal, and the wind is weak What a headache… We et a hundred cannon balls ready by the afternoon…”
The nagging chats of the technicians could be heard
Right at thatin, a bunch of trolls appeared Trolls were huhlands of Albion, and they could be as tall as five men
Even though their nu desire for battle War between humans was not their concern However, they would be able to use clubs to beat their most hated humans into human paste as much as they want, so they participated in this war as well
Indeed, they e size, they were very useful in a siege Yet they were always acting arrogant and alhty no matter where they went, so human soldiers hated them very much And they would always defy orders and act on their own, so noof a force they were, there were a lot of co officers ere unable to handle them
Speaking of which, for trolls like these to gather and roup of around twenty, it looked like a large forest sprinting ahead The technicians and roup of trolls pass
The trolls gave off a voice like a tsuna at the hu at their feet They opened their antic bellowsall those small and helpless humans
This group of trolls stopped in their tracks
That was because a huroup led by Menvil There is a huh to stand in our path? The trolls found it hard to believe
The trolls vibrated their throats like bellows and growled for some time
“What is that bunch of useless things nagging about?”
Menvil asked, looking disgusted Standing beside hi eyes spoke up to report to their leader
“They are saying 'move aside'”
Menvil ordered his subordinate who could understand Troll language,
“Tell thes to humans”
His subordinate said a few lines in Troll language Once the sentence had left his itatedly raised their spiked hammers in their hands
There was a piece of er than a cannonball at the tip of the spiked ha it could even smash a solid castle wall in one blow
If hit directly by that thing, a human would stand no chance of survival
“Hey, what did you say to them?” Menvil asked
“Err… Buru, Shubu, Toru, Uuru… Oh shi+t, I made a mistake This is the worst insult possible, I am sorry”
“So, that's the reason” Menvil replied
One of the furious Trolls ai down
Menvil used his left hand to lift his coat and took out the weapon inside; it was a long, coarse ht hand to hold the htly
And then he chanted a spell
A bunch of flames flew off froht ar the spiked hammer
In the blink of an eye, that flaether with the spiked hammer The metal pieces that were heated red flew off in all directions, but the ic
A sulfed the melted metal, and wrapped it onto the faces of the Trolls The red ave off painful moans
