Vol 17 Chapter 333 (1/2)
Army of the Dead vs Army of the Dead
… Lyle’s army
Its ic to prepare a moat
Fro on the dead arh Lyle wasn’t a the forces that had returned from the city, General Blois wasn’t perturbed
In the remains of Centralle’s royal palace, even now there were so on Then they were fighting on… Lyle’s survival was a possibility, is what it meant
“But these numbers are…”
The army of armored skeletons in numbers to bury the scenery before his eyes came out of the ruined ra the norenerate
They couldn’t coic, but it’s not as if they could keep blasting them away for eternity
“Overwheluess it is a means of certain victory”
To General Blois as he broke into a cold sweat, raced Baldoir Maksim and Alette ith him
“General Blois, I’d like to form a unit to rescue Lyle-sama!”
“N-no, but in this situation…”
While Alette was trying her best to talk hi an ear
As Baldoir said that, Maksim looked at General Blois and shook his head They had tried to persuade hiood
The general scratched his head
“… The Valkyries are still operational, and their battle still rages on What’s e would be able to make it to the palace No, it’s fundamentally impossible to reach”
Seeing Baldoir’s face, General Blois understood theahead of his mind
While the desire to save his lord was just, that wasn’t a decision that would win a war Vexed, Baldoir clenched his fist
“Sending men out to die is…”
Once that hts hts suddenly came to be
Those three and the surrounding soldiers turned to look
“That’s no good A commander should always stay level-headed You’ll spread unrest around”
The one who appeared froht was Maizel with a sword in one hand With his left hand, he traced his beard, swinging the sabre with his right
The skeletal soldiers around were bloay and torn apart Froht, a woman came out
“Woman over there, carry yourselfconcerned for and reserved from your husband If you don’t say what must be said, the man will never understand”
That wo up her staff, she blew the surrounding skeletons aith a gust of ic
Lightning dwelled in the blade of Maizel’s Sabre and he swung it forth
“Hahaha, I’ve no comeback to that But there are a bit too many I should call the others”
Claire nodded to Maizel’s opinion
“Yes, at the very least… we must protect the place for Lyle to return”
There, a large door appeared in front of the stockades From it streamed soldiers in quick succession
In his surprise, Baldoir ran forwards
For there was the form of Beil on his horse Across the stockade, Baldoir and Beil had met once more
“U-uncle…”
Maizel and Beil ere supposed to be dead, alongside legions of soldiers and knights; the scene was one Baldoir couldn’t understand
The forhts before Celes drove them mad
“Baldoir, have you been well!”
The ones cohts who had lost their lives in the battle against Lyle, and even the ones who had fallen after that
As the soldiers gathered around Maizel, they took down the nearby enemy dead
“Beil!”
“Hah!”
As Beil urged on his horse and raced to Maizel’s side, Maizel stuck his sabre into the ground
“… As a parent, there’s no way I could look him in the eye But at the very least I want to be of soh a lot”
“… We’re all in the sahts that dithin all of us haven’t wavered”
Claire looked down, clenching down on her staff
“… Lyle, you’ve grown up splendidly I’ve no qualifications to say it But if only for the slightest moment, if I can work for your sake…”
The strea defeated the warriors of bone Seeing the soldiers of the Walt House all the same rushed to their aid
Many of theht
“Father, father!!”
A young soldier called out a ed man
“Who the hell cries on a battlefield? If we lose here, just what do you plan to say to the young ive me back that spear in your hands! You’re my son, aren’t you”
Elsewhere, a knight locked hands with the dear friend he reunited with
And Maizel wrung out his voice
“Courageous men of the Walt House And soldiers of Lyle We have yet to settle things So I’ll sn h… do you have the th to this Maizel Walt!? For the sake of victory!”
Crossing the stockade, one and then another soldier crossed the stockade, lining up by the coinning to build up once more
General Blois looked upon the scene
“This isn’t a normal battlefield anymore”
Heto his side…

… The eastern front centered around Faunbeux
At Margrave Resno’s camp, his son Balfeld appeared Varius rose from his seat and approached his son
“Y-you’re… alive?”
There, Balfeld gave a bit of a sorrowful laugh
“Sorry father I went and died But for now, I’ve been given just a bit of tiize I’m sorry”
The crying Varius wiped away his tears
“I regret sending you to the site of your death I alanted to apologize Sending you to the likes of Celes… I’m sorry”
Balfeld placed a hand on the cru Varius’ shoulder
“Father… lend us your power We can’t leave that one be If we let her run rampant, it isn’t just the continent The whole world will end Father… please lend us your strength”
Varius stood And he looked at the end of Balfeld’s gaze, at the so up in the sky
“… Understood Leave it to ood health”
Hearing that, Balfeld… the heir to the Margrave of Resno who had been sent to Bahnseihed…
“I see Then I can rest at peace”

… At the Faunbeux caone weak at the knees
Before their eyes was the demon who once chased them about and cut their land away
His name was Brod Walt Seventh Generation Head of the Walt House
“It’s been a while, whelp You’ve grown quite a bit By the way, there’s so preparations to flee?”
Around the Seventh were the soldiers of the Walt House, sprinkling their glares around The Seventh didn’t really need the air so he had brought the
“T-that’s…”
To the treh But his eyes weren’t laughing
“You can’t randson behind and run away yourself? For argument’s sake, I’ll tell you… if you run, I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth I do hope you still have that swiftness of foot you showed me on the battlefield”
Saying that, the Seventh left the tent and stood before his own arathered
“Hmm! What a spectacle! As expected of my armies!”
Before the aranized himself, the Seventh was satisfied And before his soldiers
“… Elites of the Walt House If we stay silent at this crisis, it will threaten the lives of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren It’s not so good a thing for the dead toon the Goddess… for Lyle’s sake, I’d like you to lend me your power”
Without a thread’s breadth of disjoint in their movements, everyone corrected their posture The Seventh nodded and looked to the young er days
Straddling the horse, the Seventh spoke to Zell
“Zell, randson’s been in your care I have one more job I’d like you to do Will you accompany me?”
“It’s an i, Brod-sama!”
His horse trot down the center of his lines of ht-about face, and abided his orders Right ahead of theun
“Attack”
As the Walt House’s army moved to action, the troops of Faunbeux watched the scene with theirover The skeletal soldiers kicked and blown about…

… The King of Faunbeux sobbed in the tent the Seventh had left behind
“Daet involved with the Walt House! Those guys torment Faunbeux even when they’re dead! Just how far does he plan on chasing me!?”
His trauma of the chase in his past revived, what’s more, this time the man himself had made his appearance
