Chapter 24: Lone Sword and Lion Millions (1)
The sudden attack of the army clearly caused a panic in the knights who were besieging Her Majesty and the accompanying nobles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, the sound of gunfire soon calmed them down a little.
It had been a long time since the first cannon shot, and the army still did not come in, but the fighting became more and more intense.
It seems that it was the army on the side of the Grand Duke of Scotland who was exchanging fire with the army on the Queen's side.
The Queen's face was gloomy, and the army was openly fighting fiercely in the city of London, and even if they won afterwards, it would undoubtedly cause great trauma to the whole city.
However, now is not the time to think about these issues.
"Mu Yue, please, rush out with Iyeta!"
"Your Majesty!?"
"Leave me alone, even if they catch me, I won't dare to do anything, you take Iyeta out quickly! There is only hope if you two manage to get out!"
Her Majesty pushed Iyeta to Mu Yue's side while holding her scepter aloft.
"Everyone, open the way for Her Royal Highness the Princess!!"
「「「「「「Long live the Queen——!!!!" 」」」」」
The nobles on the queen's side roared and rushed towards the Knights.
"Darling—"
Iyeta held Mu Yue's hand tightly.
Mu Yue took one last look at the queen, nodded, and waved the knight's sword that he had snatched from an enemy in his hand.
(Sure enough...... The compatibility of ordinary swords with spiritual power is too poor, and the strength cannot be exerted much at all)
Like the last sword technique used in the duel with Castries, if you use this ordinary knight's sword, then this sword will definitely break after casting.
At that time, Mu Yue will be in danger without weapons.
"Iyeta, let's go!"
"Uh-huh!"
Iyeta, who was held by Mu Yue, nodded, and then rushed towards the outside of the church under the guidance of the young man.
"Stop them !!"
"Get out of the ——!!!"
Mu Yue swung his knight's sword and kept chopping the knights who came forward to block him to the ground.
This time, he didn't spare his hand, and he didn't have any way to worry about whether he had caused fatal injuries to the other party.
None of the ordinary knights were Mu Yue's enemies, and when he saw this, Castries was about to draw his sword and rush forward, but several nobles desperately pounced on him and rolled him to the ground together.

"Damn!! Still can't get in?"
Octavir hid behind an armored car, staring at the front-line commander beside him with a gloomy face.
"The rebels have blocked all entrances, and our men can't get in! Of course, it is possible if it costs nothing, but then it will accidentally injure the people in the church, and Her Majesty is still inside!"
"Bastard !!"
Octavir clenched his fist and slammed it into the armored car.
Even if she was the leader of the Knights, she would not be able to rush into the army that was firing at all hands single-handedly.
He was instructed by Her Majesty the Queen to sneak out and enter the city of London with an absolutely loyal army, but he didn't expect to be a step late in the end, allowing the other party's people to block all the entrances to the church first.
Fortunately, because of the appearance of their own army, the rebels who were originally tasked with entering the church to capture the queen and her party had to temporarily set up positions outside to confront them.
Artillery fire roared, machine guns fired.
Street fighting in the city, there is no way to use large weapons.
"Can you call air support?"
"No, Captain, communication with the nearest airbase has been cut off!"
"Did the Air Force defect too!?"
"I don't know, but we can't get in touch! I guess the communication was disrupted!"
The impatient Octavir couldn't hold back any longer.
"Have your men split into a small group, and I'll lead them into the church!"
「…… It's !!."
After a moment's hesitation, the front-line commander snapped in response.
And yet—
"Wait! Captain! Look!!"
The commander suddenly pointed to the entrance to the church, which had been reduced to ruins.
It was behind a rebel blockade.
At this time, Mu Yue and Iyeta had already appeared in everyone's sight.
"Fire Cover !!!!!!"
Without hesitation, the commander immediately gave the order.
For a while, almost all the firepower was tilted on the rebels near Mu Yue and Iyeta, overwhelming them for a short time.
"Your Highness!!"
Octavir didn't wait any longer, turned over with the knight's greatsword and jumped over the armored car, and hurried away.
Taking advantage of the moment when the rebels were suppressed by the sudden and powerful firepower, Octavir and Mu Yue and Iyeta made peace.
"Let's go! Your Highness!"
Iyeta hung the knight's sword directly behind her, picked up Iyeta with both hands, and tried to protect the girl with her body in her hands, and rushed to her own position with her head down.
When Mu Yue was halfway through the run, he thought about it and suddenly turned around.
"Now that you've rushed out, let's let you make the final contribution......
Stroking the knight's sword, Mu Yue raised his sword and aimed it at the rebels.
The spiritual power did not care about the bearing capacity of the knight's sword, and frantically poured into the sword body.
The next moment
The wind howled, and the sword light exploded.
The air roared, and the earth shook.
By the time everything had calmed down, the rebel positions blocking the entrance to the ruins were in shambles.
Overturned armored vehicles, soldiers lying on the ground groaning in pain, scattered guns and ammunition, and exposed ground that was split in half along the middle of the street.
The crack stretched to the end of the street, and a building at the end was crumbling.
"Good...... Awesome ......"
Holding Iyeta and returning to his own position, Octavir stared blankly at the scene caused by Mu Yue's blow.
「…… Mr. Mu, it's even more powerful than before......
"Liar...... Deceptive, right? Even those magicians from the Magicians Association can't be so powerful, right?"
"That guy...... Could it be an evil spirit?"
"Idiot! Don't be in a daze! Hurry up and take this opportunity to attack and rescue Her Majesty!!" 、
The commander who reacted first immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and roared loudly, bringing the sluggish army back to his senses.
Soon, throwing away the hilt of the sword that had no sword body in his hand, Mu Yue returned to Octavier's side.
"Arrange a car at once, Ieta and I are going to Greenwich Castle!"
「…… No!"
Octavir shook her head immediately.
"It's now occupied by the rebels!"
「…… Tsk!"
Mu Yue gritted his teeth, thinking that after using a very expensive sword technique twice in a row, his face was already a little pale.
His eyes fell on the knight's greatsword behind Octavier's back.
"Octavir, lend me your sword."
"No problem...... Wait, what are you going to do!?"
"You arrange for Iyeta, and then go and save Her Majesty,...... I'm going to Glenich alone!"
Staring at Octavier, Mu Yue said word by word.
