Vol Chapter 48 (1/2)

The exhausted shi+ru tribe were about 100 in nuo as fast as they could despite their condition Those that couldn’t run anye places with those on horses, everyone was lending each other hands and shoulders for support, and with the 3rd Cavalry Platoon leading the e hurried back towards Fort Jugfena

Since eretheir limits But even so, we couldn’t afford to slon, because we could hear the sounds of battle fro people onwards

Turning around to look, I could see the forces fro with the Densel ar at a lower elevation from us, I could see the whole situation quite clearly The Densel army had indeed attacked from an unexpected direction, so the two armies’ positions were reversed The Densel ar under attack from archer fire, while our forces were between the Densel army and their camp where the tents had been set on fire With both ar nowhere to run, it seems that it’s quite likely that it’ll develop into a scene of brutal carnage

I couldn’t help but squint to get a closer look at the battlefield Even though it was still fairly far away and it would be almost impossible to find so the chaos for a speck of black

“We’re al your best”

Suddenly, one of the knights who had ree the Arxian language instead of Artolan language, so seems to have been transmitted to them, and the shi+ru tribe appeared to be relieved It’s probably because the enemies haven’t been able to chase us up to here, and nobody has been saying anything until nohich gave them the sense of relief

“It’s just a little et there, then everyone can rest”

I called out as well to a child as shakily just holding on, and patted hi on one of the shi+ru tribe’s horses and appeared even younger than h I was born as a noble, I’ army

Because we kept heading northeast, it was getting colder and colder It’s because we’re getting closer to the Amon Nor Mountains It’s a bit dark around here because theit an eerie atmosphere Even so, somehow the shi+ru tribe quickened their pace

We finally reached a cave on the hts headed straight inside The shi+ru tribe, and the Kaldia army as well, followed them

It was dark inside the cave, and the air was stifling due to it being suh, and cohting the ere able to at least see the direction to travel in The lights the knights were using were probably light e stones created from the scales of the fire moths They’re actually quite few and rare in number, and their effectiveness is about the sah the cave for a while, the knights paused in front of a stone door

“Viscountess Kaldia, we’ve arrived at Fort Jugfena”

A happy expression appeared on the knight that alking in front of me His relief was obvious to see

“Wait a second, there’s no guards on the other side?”

The knight’s relieved expression disappeared instantly when another knight raised his voice

“That’s probably because we’re currently in a wartime situation Everyone is on lookout instead, also to prevent deserters as well After all, it’s pretty easy to slip right across the border”

“I see, so there was that as well?”

I was listening closely to the knights’ conversation, but I wasn’t quite convinced how that would be a good reason to leave this door unguarded Since this hidden passage leads directly inside the fort, it seeuard here at all
