Chapter 122 (1/2)

Chapter 122: Chapter 122

Given the situation now, the prisoner, Duke Lars, was inside the room at the end of the hallway where the enemies were blocking our forces’ entry desperately.

Neither ally nor enemy forces were in a situation where they could no longer step back.

Eventually, with the target area only about thirty steps away, the two sides stood face to face, staring at each other. They were in a lull for a minute.

I let out a sigh. I thought that a little more push would have them driven away. But it was very difficult to get there as the 2nd Knight members were desperately resisting.

‘Is there any way to break through them?’

When I was lost in thought, Carsein shrugged and looked around at the knights around him.

“As we can’t delay anymore, why don’t we confront them directly? Let’s move in and fight.”

“What if we are blocked?”

“Then we are defeated, of course. But the result is the same whether the closing time is up or we are defeated, isn’t it?

“You’re right. Let’s go ahead then.”

When some squad leaders agreed, Carsein said with a smile, “Good. If I count three, begin attacking them. By the way, Sir Monique? ”

“Yeah?”

At his sudden calling, I turned my head while grabbing my shield.

“As you are very quick in wielding the sword, stand behind the second row. Then, if you think you can do it, go straight to the target area.”

“Got it.”

“The same goes for those who think they are fast. Okay, let’s go. One, two, three!”

Everyone rushed to the target area, holding their shields before them.

Although the 2nd Knights members were on the defensive even before we charged at them, they began to step back little by little as if they felt it was too difficult to stop our attack.

Was it because we pushed them as hard as we could? There was a hole in their defensive line finally. They noticed it and tried to close the ranks quickly, but I was a little faster than them.

After barely breaking through their loose defense, I opened the door without looking back.

“Duke Lars!”

“Wow! Sir Monique! Nice joy. Thanks for your efforts to come over here.”

Duke Lars, who was having tea with my father in a leisurely manner, spoke.

Next to him were Deputy Captain of the 1st Knights Division, Earl Fleck, and Deputy Captain of the 2nd Knights Division, Earl Burt.

“… ”

I blinked with a blank expression. I felt empty somehow. I arrived here after desperately fighting my way through the enemies. I just felt drained to find them so relaxed, unlike the chaotic situation outside where they were locked in a fierce battle.

Earl Fleck, who looked at me blinking aghast, said with a smile, “Hmm. I’ve heard that you’ve made a great contribution, but I didn’t expect you would come here.”

“…. ”

“I think I underestimated my abilities. I’m sorry. Although your strategy was reckless, it was good. If you make further efforts, I think you can be a good staff officer. ”

“Thank you, Deputy Captain!”

When I bowed to express gratitude, Duke Lars, who put down the teacup, looked back at my father and said as if he felt good, “Kairan, I know you’re happy with your daughter’s achievements, but I don’t think you can be happy now. The 2nd Knights you are in charge of are lost. ”

“… Yes, I agree.”

The moment my father’s eyebrows were wriggling, I heard a trumpet blaring from a distance.

The trumpet sound meant the end of drills.

‘Is it true we have won? Really?’

Suddenly, I smiled. Though exhausted, I felt refreshed at the sound.

Standing up from his seat and approaching me, my father stroked my head and said, “Tia.”

“Yes, Daddy.”
