Chapter 792 (2/2)

The knights were still exhausted after running so far, there’s no way they could retaliate

I forced my tired body to stand and faced the enemies

「Get behind me, Popurus-san!」

I ordered the travelingsoldier

But this soldier was quite strong I had reached the peak of 【Spear Techniques】with my spear, this soldier was probably the same with his 【Sword Tecnhiques】

Of course, the spear has the advantage of attack range, but he’s still not an opponent that I could beat easily

ーーWhy is a person this strong placed in this kind of place?

「shi+t! This guy is tough…!」

The ene some distance away from me

Then the ene to the other soldiers

「ル-Conset・卜-Flame ー 《Flame Lance》！」

「Guaaaa!」

The fe any weak spot

Their leader was knocked down and their soldiers were tre in fear

「Get them!」

I ordered the knights

That was probably their aim

I don’t think the eney, would send soldiers to this place without any

If we can get inforht be able to lean their whole plan

Even so, our opponents are elite soldiers Beating them will prove to be difficult

「Adventurer! Lend me a hand!」

「I’m not “adventurer” my name is Julia!!」

The fe the knights with her fire attribute

her fire attribute ic

I commanded the soldiers to surround the enemies, but as expected, they knew they were outnumbered

「fuuu… I was surprised」

The feh a relief

Howeverー

「卜-Flame・∨-Spread ー《Fireball》！」

Suddenly, fireballs sent flying from behind the trees

「ーku! Careful!」

I quickly ju line and rolled together on the ground

The fireballs exploded near us

「ugh……」

My back was roasted in blistering flames

「Ice Prince!?」

The female adventurer raised her voice

Even without hts rushed to the source of the fireballs Not long after, the enee’s scream could be heard from the trees

「are you alright, sir!?」

One of hts rushed over

「I’m fine… I only took a little bit of flame… Ah-Ouch!」

I tried to get up but I felt a heavy pain on my back

Apparently, 《Fireball》 exploded on a rock and the impact blasted a piece of rock and it hit my back

「Ice Prince!」

「I’ht… It’s just a bruise」

Unfortunately, there are no one in our squad who can cast 【Healing Magic】

I guess I have no choice but to endure it for a while

「hy did you protect me?」

「Fuun It’s not like what you were thinking My body just moved on its own」

「Risking your life to protect a temporary mercenary, Ice prince-san is really isn’t suited to be a commander but… thank you…」

「You are welcoic to help…… How many of us died?」

I asked the knight

「About 5 people, sir」

「I see…」

5 people died due to my carelessness

I pusheda break I didn’t consider the possibility of being found by the enemy soldiers

It’s still hard for me to accept people’s death

They always reminded of my late wifeーKanan

「……nce-san! Ice Prince-san!」

When I came back to my senses, the female adventurer looked at me anxiously

Her face and Kanan’s face overlapped for a moment in my eyes

I shook my head to clear the illusion and answered the female adventurer

「Aah… Sorry I was lost for a while」

「Are you really alright?」

I turned hts to stay alert

The adventurer, feeling ignored, pouted

「……It’s Alfred」

「Eh?」

「That was my name… Julisan」

「……e-eh??」

The adventurerーJulisan was caught speechless I ignored her again and ordered the knights to interrogate the freshly caught enemy soldiers
