Vol 14 Chapter 271 (1/2)

Dead Men

… While avoiding the ed to march his army all the way to the destination point

But when he finally thought he was growing closer to South Beim, what he saas

The battleground was set for noon, and the elites and soldiers scraped up from the feudal lords were in the midst of total exhaustion By the daily attacks and loud noises, they weren’t able to get any satisfactory rest Their horses had been set free, so to carry their supplies, they had to put hureater exhaustion

Within that situation, Breid looked around himself The two Baronets who had approached hiot to follow them Before he had realized it, they had stuck on a reason, and withdrawn from the force, unit and all

The worst of it was that they had taken off with valuable supplies Arrows on top of spare equipment But still, it wasn’t to a level where they were incapable of battle More than that, Breid had enough power to overturn this nue

For these soldiers he brought along were the elites who had sworn absolute loyalty to Celes These men would easily thron their lives for her sake

With a nureat disadvantage, they had enough perseverance to easily break through However, there was soive

That ascending the incline, on the defenses above solidified like a fortress,stood Lyle looking down over them in blue and white armor

“… So you set this up! You tricked me… you!!”

Breid’s anger was immense More than that the Baronets had betrayed hi on the pal that to Breid, Lyle was his detested idol of loathing itself

Just the thought he was fro he was a driven-out incompetent, he ridiculed him within But he had defeated a Gryphon, and acted as if he had no interest in that achieveet his hands on

It felt as if he was just being tossed the leftovers… no, it was fact that Breid had gotten his current status by chance By chance, he had stabbed the knight Celes failed to kill from behind

His black arallant knight ung about his spear on his horse… the knight Breid aspired to be Out of a desire to be closer to that knight, he had fixed up the armor and draped it over himself

Wearing that armor with a contrastive coloration to Lyle’s, Breid extended a hand to the hilt of his swordHe was tired, but with the ene spirit didn’t fall short from that of the throay elites

“You incouard… Breid Vaht! Attaccckkkk!!”

There was no such thing as a plan Breid chose to sie at the ene style with the highest possible rate of success at these elites’ disposal

“Chaaaaarrrggeee!!”

Everyone reached for thethe lid, they all chewed up and sed the solid masses within…

At the defensive lines we prepared for eic were overcome by the soldiers, who successfully breached the first wall

The scene of over thirty thousand attacking was quite a masterpiece, but noasn’t the time for that I looked upon it as I mutter

“What… just what’s going on with them!?”

The soldiers who joyfully leapt in front of the loaded guns Using those soldiers as shi+elds, the ones in the back pushed their way to the wall, and stuck themselves to it Pierced with spears or cut with swords, it looked as if the only thing on their minds was to breach this wall

Not dying so easily even with fatal wounds, they gripped the soldiers on our side,style that easily sacrificed their comrades

I couldn’t call their perseverance anything but abnormal

“… Do they know no fear?”

The unit stationed at the front was attacked by the enemies that breached the wall bloodstained as they were What’s ht

Froue

『Che… Lyle, have the forces step back This is worse than I thought』

They were erous than the Fifth had anticipated I had the forces retreat To create an opening for that, I sent those two out

“Have Gracia and Elza step out Don’t let the soldiers get close by any means! Just blow them away!”

Originally, I planned to have those two come out when the ene to make some time for the front force to retreat

Riding their horses, they lead their own battalions at their flanks to provide relief to our allies When they fired their h the air

But an ene that scene They were deploying a shi+eld through ic to keep casualties down, but they didn’t show any fear to the h it

Soldiers burned through by Gracia’s pale flaap, the others let their bodies be clad in flames as they pressed on

The ene behind paid them no mind as they shattered them underfoot

Just press forward… just kill the enemy before your eyes… before the enemy force with that mindset, I clenched my fist

They were supposed to be exhausted, yet this force that wouldn’t stop their assault even co advantage, but ere being psychologically cornered

Night

While the front line was still fighting, I stepped back a bit, and gathered all the main members

Within the tent, I sought the opinions of those who had actually witnessed the force of our foe

“Even with our greater nureater than ours But we’re losing psychologically I want to do so about it”

Hearing that from me, Maksim-san folded his arms

“I’ve clashed with the enemy soldiers a few tie as thirty thousand to attack resolved for death… it e The enemy casualties haven’t reached ten thousand yet, and even if it does, their hearts won’t fold If we put out any more casualty before that…”

Our hearts would be the first to break, though Maksih to the end Everyone who’d been out on the battlefield understood it I had prepared thinking they were an arht they would be that abnormal

No, if it was mere abnormality, that wouldn’t be a problem, but all their soldiers were undoubtedly elites with a certain level of ability

Having defeated many enemies, Gracia made an unmerry expression

“Are all Bahnsei like that? That’s plain bizarre Without even thinking of the deaths they suffer, for them to simply press forward…”

Elza shared her opinion

“I can understand when someone knows this is where they will die But it truly is abnormal to be able to accomplish it with those nuerous”

I tried thinking over what Celes had done to those elites It’s true dead ht about such an aptitude to break through

There, Monica entered the tent

“PardonI need to inform you of”

“What?”

I looked at Monica She straightened her back, and spoke without any of her usual jokes

“… About the soldiers on Bahnseiested a sort of drug Result of analysis shows it is soic analysis is out ofto Professor Da them a pseudo-Skill effect”
