Under the dim sky before dawn, a thousand cavalry were quietly waiting for the march. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

To conceal the reflection of the blades, the tips of the swords and spears were covered with mud, the mouths of the horses were covered with chews, and the hooves of the horses were carefully wrapped in cloth filled with cotton.

So, without being detected by the enemy, they approached all the way to the side of a hill.

The rearguard of the enemy, the Brunay Army, which was located on a gentle slope, had entered the night camp. The flames of the campfire danced slightly in the wind.

"- Rest. Be prepared. ”

The silver-haired girl standing at the forefront of the cavalry smiled faintly. The soldiers obeyed her orders and began to rest.

The chew from the horse's mouth was removed, and the cloth from the horse's hooves was removed.

Finally, the scouts returned to the army.

Hearing reports that the enemy had fallen asleep and were not alert, the girl looked back at the cavalrymen.

She drew the sword at her waist and raised it high into the air. An evening breeze swept around the sword.

"The enemy in front of us is about five thousand, five times our strength. Although the opponent is a rearguard, the main squad of the commander should also be an elite force that is difficult to attack. ”

However, the girl with a warlike intent in her red eyes continued.

"I'm going to march forward and win. Will you follow me?"

The cavalrymen were silent, raising their swords and spears into the air.

The girl turned her face back in the direction of the enemy, riding her horse and swinging her sharp sword.

"Assault forward!"

The military flag stood in the wind. This is the Black Dragon Banner - the flag of the Kingdom of Gistato, painted with a black dragon.

The air began to swell with a loud boom. The horsemen raised their swords and spears, or put their arrows on the bowstrings, and ran up the hill with the maiden.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth, the sentries finally spotted the attack.

However, it was already too late.

"Enemy—"

The tip of the girl's sword flashed, and before the soldier's head could scream, blood splattered and flew up.

Under the gradually whitening sky, a thousand cavalry led by the girl wreaked havoc in the enemy ranks. The Brunay army was in great confusion, and even troops left their weapons and fled in disarray.

Although there were soldiers who resisted to the death, their forces were far from the enemy's.

Moreover, the girl who rushed to the front of the Gistato's army and brandished her sword had overwhelming strength.

She can slash through crowds of enemies with a single blow, or dash them mercilessly with her horses' hooves. The girl didn't even have a drop of blood spilled on her body.

The sword whistled in the wind, and the corpses rolling to the ground increased one by one.

Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind, and the maiden burst straight into the enemy line, followed by the cavalry who had gathered in a square formation.

At this point, the war was decided.

――――――

Bursts of tinnitus hit.

Sporadic screams, dying roars, the roar of horses' hooves, and the clanging of swords and halberds ravaged his ears.

“…… Not. ”

He opened his eyes.

The blue sky, which was almost inhaled, stretched out in front of me.

Pushing away the object pressing on his body, Tegler sat up.

After the tinnitus disappeared, only the sound of the wind and the moaning that muffled it came to my ears. The broken military flag fluttered slightly in the wind, and the trampled and trampled weeds were also swaying.

The smell of blood wafted through the dusty ground.

"Am I unconscious......

He staggered to his feet, turning his head to look around. Mountains of corpses were piled up all around.

The grass was stained blood-red, and hundreds of corpses lay across the ground.

The feeling of vomiting could not help but rise, and he covered his mouth with his hand. Along with the wet touch, the red color spreads on his hands.

- Blood ......?

He rubbed his face and head back and forth, but found no wounds.

"Is it someone else's blood......

Teegler seemed to have been buried under several corpses just now, so he escaped the eyes of the enemy.

"Batlon!"

He called out the names of trusted subordinates and close old knights, but there was no response.

He called out again for the names of the soldiers who had followed him, but no one answered.

"If only they had already fled. ”

No matter which direction you look, there are corpses all over the field. There were also discarded swords, broken spears, and flags destroyed in battle.

Beneath the mist, he couldn't see what was going on in the distance. But, at least as far as he could see, there was not a single living person who could move. Whether it's a companion, or an enemy.

Tegler's heart did not swell with anger against his enemies, and the severe exhaustion made his whole body extremely heavy. A sigh came from his mouth.

"What a terrible battle......"

Almost at the same time as dawn, the Brunay army was attacked from behind. After they fell into disarray, enemy troops also attacked from the front. The army of 25,000 men was crushed.

-- Before sunset yesterday, our troops confirmed the information that the enemy was on the front. That is, Gistato's troops were divided into two parts, one of which attacked the rearguard first, and the other attacked from the front in conjunction with the sneak attack.

A chill ran through Taegler's back.

Such a strategy is very simple. Even children want it.

-- But what is terrifying about them is the spirit of being able to carry out this strategy as if nothing had happened in the face of a five-fold enemy.

Doing so will further disperse the already much smaller forces than the enemy. If you don't do it well, you will be easily defeated by the enemy. The soldiers must have resisted as well.

- Still, they succeeded.

The Brunay Army completely collapsed.

Pushed by his comrades, who were shaken and fled in defeat, Tegler fell off his horse and lost consciousness before he could take formal command.

Taegler's troops were killed by our companions.

"Then again......"

Tegler began to think back to the silver-haired girl who rushed to the front of the enemy army and brandished her sword, slashing Brunay's soldiers to the ground one after another.

However, he only saw her for a moment.

"Is that the battle princess? ”

Senki usually rushes to the front of the line. He recalled the words of Math Haas.

It's beautiful—an anachronistic thought comes to mind, and Tegler scratches at his red hair in self-reflection.

Luckily, his bow fell aside.

Teegler picked up the bow and flicked the string with a little nervousness and unease.

“…… Seems to be fine. ”

He soothed his chest with reassurance. If the bow handle is bent or the string is loose, the bow will not work.

There are only a few arrows left in the quiver.

Taegler looked up at the sky and judged the direction based on the position of the sun.

"Is it the West over there? ”

From this battlefield, to the east is Gistato, and to the west is Brunay.

Holding back the pain in his body, Tegler staggered west.

"Yo, big brother, you look like you're in pain~"

"!!" Tegler was startled when he heard this, drew his bow and arrows, and then turned back for only a moment.

However, the arrows shot were directly grasped by the comers.

"Oops~Oops~ It's so dangerous! Big brother, if it weren't for Yui's strong enough, it is estimated that this arrow would have shot Yui's head through~" The little black-haired girl complained to Tegler with a puffed face.
