It wasn't until Kevin, who was led to the vanguard camp and was read out in public, that Kevin, who heard everyone's applause and accepted everyone's military salute, realized that something was not quite right. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But he had been carried away by an honor he had never dared to think of before.

He served as the leader of a cavalry scout squadron, and his soldiers were more selective and expensive than infantry scouts.

The leader of a squadron in the Iron Bear Legion has three squads and thirty soldiers.

So a cavalry scout squadron leader has thirty professional scouts who are proficient in swordsmanship, archery, horsemanship, tracking, and scouting.

Unaware that he had been sent to the front by a series of misunderstandings, Kevin guessed that he must have received extraordinary recognition and attention from "Lord Sage" or "His Royal Highness the Prince", otherwise how could he have entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.

Accepting the scout captain's standard chain mail, half-body armor, spear, and war horse, Kevin, who felt that he was still dreaming, only adjusted to his identity for a while, and then left the camp with a more kind-looking squad leader.

The leader of the squad that followed him out was a sturdy young man named Demps in leather armor and armed with a saber and a war horse.

Kevin's purpose is actually quite simple, he wants this young man who seems to be relatively easy to talk and quite powerful to teach him what he should do.

But seeing that the other party was older than himself and looked like an elite soldier, Kevin lacked self-confidence for a long time, and he mustered up the courage for a long time but couldn't ask at all.

Walking aimlessly with Demps on horseback, the trusted squadron leader unwittingly moved away from the camp.

And the young scout team leader Demps didn't dare to ask anything because he couldn't figure out the origin and mission of this young man who suddenly parachuted directly from the corps commander.

Seeing that Kevin was just out of the camp, he took it for granted that the new chief had come to familiarize himself with the terrain. Seeing that he looked like a rookie, he thought that he was holding the shelf of a prefect or a nobleman's son and begged for his own guidance, so in order to meet the horse, he simply took the initiative to gallop towards the enemy camp with the new prefect.

So they moved farther and farther away from their camp.

In normal times, the behavior of the two is nothing.

Although this is the forefront, the location of the Iron Bear Legion does not seem to be the main attack direction of the Holy See Army, so the number of Holy See troops deployed against the Bear Emblem Legion is not large.

However, because the overall number of the "rebel army" is too small, it seems that the main purpose of the strategy is to contain part of the opponent's troops, and it has no intention of taking the initiative to attack the opponent.

Therefore, the armies of the two sides are now only in a state of confrontation with each other from a distance, and the military camps on both sides are also very far away, and they are so far away from each other that they can't see each other during this time, and there is basically no fighting.

But I don't know if Kevin is too lucky, this time he took people out for the first time, and directly encountered several Holy See scout teams that also belonged to the Scout sequence.

These Holy See scout squads were originally just in a state of covert reconnaissance in the form of a net, but when they saw that there were only two people on the enemy, they looked like "I'm a rookie", and one of them was still wearing the armor and uniform of the squadron leader, how could it not be justified?

So under the covert signal, the Holy See scouts scattered and outflanked from afar.

By the time Demps, who was relatively alert and experienced, found himself surrounded by the two of them and tried to break out with his commander, they were already surrounded by dozens of people.

Kevin was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and he was even more panicked.

What made him secretly complain was that among these Holy See troops who appeared, there were quite a few shiny and silver low-ranking officers.

Because of those humanoid light bulbs, he could tell them when they were burned to ashes.

"Templars".

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Said.

The peace talks were unsurprisingly rejected by the princess's army, and the envoy was not detained, but politely sent back.

In view of the deplorable defenses of the commercial city, General Padwin Schugmann, the commander of the Holy See's advance army, who had preferred to besiege the city first and wait for reinforcements, had ordered a siege three days earlier.

Today is the time for the first wave of official sieges.

In addition to the low and difficult to defend walls, the biggest hole in the city defense is that the northeast and northwest sections of the city walls, which were originally deep into the sea, will lose the protection of the sea during the low tide every day.

There is now only a newly built wall with wooden walls and even a palisade outside the northern part of Said, which is shorter and thinner than the walls in the other three directions.

This is still the result of working around the clock during this time.

Therefore, the northern wall is also the direction of attack of the Holy See army.

General Schugman's strategy was to first feint the northeastern section of the city wall with great fanfare, and after attracting all the attention of the defenders in the city, he would storm the northwest section of the city wall with the main force and break the city in one fell swoop.

The tactics were carried out smoothly.

The three-day siege had already strained the nerves of the defenders in the city.

Originally, the close numbers of the two armies were very unfavorable to the besieging Holy See troops, but the sparse number of elite soldiers in the defenders of the Sede led the staff officers to adopt the plan of organizing most of the elite combat forces into reserves and transferring them to the section of the city wall where the battle was tight.

The low walls exposed at low tide made the defenders at the head of the city very nervous, so as soon as the feint was carried out, the reserves in the city were attracted to it.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the main force of the Holy See army that had been ambushed outside the northwest city wall rushed to the city wall with the name of the god chanting under the order of the commander-in-chief.

Counterattacked by the feeble slings and bows of the defenders at the head of the city, the Cathar warriors covered many heavy siege engines through the muddy beaches at low tide.

In less than an hour, a wooden wall, which did not look very strong, collapsed.

Nearby Cathar warriors, led by the Templars involved, shouted and rushed to the gap.

They knew that if they crossed the wall, the so-called garrison inside would be vulnerable at all—it was just recruits who were not much stronger than ordinary people.

Sure enough, the improvised resistance wall within the wall did not play a decent role in resisting at all.

Seeing the soldiers blessed with holy light and rushing into the gap in a dense array, the Holy See troops in the rear had already begun to cheer.

However, a mutation has occurred.

A star-like light flashed through the crowd at the gap in the wall.

Then, a "terrible rain of blood" composed of large pieces of armor, weapons, banners, and clothing, mixed with internal organs, stumps, human heads, and blood, flew out and poured over the faces of the troops in the rear.

When the light dissipated and the rain of blood stopped, a beautiful girl with silver eyes, dressed in a set of silver armor shining with hazy stars, held a graceful silver sword, stood alone on the corpses scattered in the gap in the city wall.

Her long silver hair and white blood-stained cloak fluttered in the magical light, making her look more and more awe-inspiring as a Valkyrie.

A few more flashes of starlight, and the hardwood siege engines covered in damp cowhide that had been toppled down had been split into pieces at the same time.

Thousands of soldiers outside were suffocated at the same time at this moment, forming a strange silence.

The girl returned to the sword and lifted her lips lightly, and her majestic but beautiful voice was amplified into the ears of all the Holy See soldiers in this silence: "Death to those who enter the city!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

This majestic and beautiful silver-haired girl is naturally Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth Wright.
