In order to increase the speed, the mana supply in the water film was increased a little, and it galloped away as if it were flying.

Ahead was the French side of the Strait of Dover, and the Knights were unable to move because of a proclamation from France and an order from the British capital.

Four hundred years ago, in the 11th century, William, Duke of Normandy, France, was orphaned after the death of his cousin Edward the Confessor, and the great nobleman Harold was proclaimed. William crossed the sea to invade England under the pretext that Edward had promised the throne during his lifetime; Hastings complicated relations between England and France by killing Harold in World War I and establishing himself as King William I of England, known as "William the Conqueror".

The French aristocracy could go to England to fight for the throne, and vice versa, England, in such a chaotic situation.

In 1087, due to a territorial dispute with King Philip I of France, William joined the battle against France and captured the fortress of Mount near Paris. Seeing that victory was imminent, William the Hero fell from his horse and died, and the battle began the prelude to the centuries-long conflict between England and France.

And now because of the story of the past, I am afraid that France will also want to try to use the British royal family as a shield.

As we move forward, the road in the distance gradually appears in front of us.

There are only outlines.

It is a coast with a V-shaped edge, and on the side avenue on the shore, the fire is constantly splashing out with a bang.

In fact, the first thing I saw was not the firelight, but the royal carriage that emitted the light of magic circles and spells; The roof is trimmed with a gold triangle, and if you look closely, its design alludes to the English rose, the Scottish thistle, and the Irish sorrel, and the farsighted aid allows Natsume to see in more detail.

The stacks of the composite structure appeared in view, and its defenses were all turned on, swaying slightly in the storm of magical attacks.

Basically, the carriage should have a fairly complete magical protective net.

In the past, when this carriage was built, it was teased that it was so strong that it would not send out a distress signal even if the planet was split in half.

It is so strong that even Intix's special monastic garment, the "Mobile Church", is unmatched. Created by combining the essence of the history of the magical power of Britain, the royal carriage is known as the "moving iron wall", and it is impossible to stop no matter what attacks it encounters.

But now it's not just stopping, it's shaking.

The purpose of the Spanish Star Sect's attack on the princess is probably also to influence the United Kingdom, and the British side also intends to use this as an excuse to interfere there and expand its influence.

Sure enough, the third princess, Vilian, was completely regarded as an outcast.

Princess Verian herself is a gentle and humble person, and among the three princesses of the royal family, she is known for her "human virtue", and is known for her benevolent nature and noble character. Because he cares too much about other people's feelings, he seems to lack assertiveness, so he can't make correct judgments when faced with this situation.

If she could, she might be able to send a distress signal to the British family instead of the Knights.

The combat effectiveness of the royal faction is obviously insufficient, and on the battlefield in front of Natsume, most of the people who flew up with the explosion were Veryanne's personal guards, which was also a group of people who were abandoned by the state along with the princess.

Swinging the metal club again, Natsume crossed the border and came to this place alone, to this battlefield.

A voice came from the front right, a queue of magicians.

"The carriage defense structure is analyzed, and it is good to neutralize it directly without breaking it! No matter how strong the defense is, it has its flaws, so use the technique of neutralization through that place! ”

Neutralization?

It's like fighting poison with poison.

Suddenly, there was a sound of the ground shaking and the earth and rocks cracking from the side, and a giant made of dirt slammed his fist into the maid guarding the carriage.

Bang!

The earth shook, but the earth-and-stone blade stopped in place, unable to move, no, it was no longer able to move.

The fist of its right hand was pierced by a metal club, and Liliang that pierced through its entire body shattered through the gap in its right fist.

There were more and more tortoise patterns, and after a soft click, the earth and stone giant's whole body collapsed and turned to dust.

"Are you alright?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you are?"

"Where's the girl, princess?"

"So rude!"

The other party made a look of 'cutting you with a thousand knives', Natsume didn't care, but continued to ask

"The mercenary from England will come to help after getting the money! If I can, let me help you escape. ”

"It's really untrustworthy, the mercenary Weishenme from my country is so frivolous, it is completely different from those warriors and knights with glory who have stepped into the darkness, not to mention that the queen will send someone to rescue!"

"That's exactly what a mercenary is, forget it."

Except for the maid, everyone else also cast puzzled glances.

It is ridiculous and sad for this only rescuer, and no matter what, the future that awaits them will be ruined.

Natsume didn't care, and started the activity centered on the carriage.

The main thing is not to fight, but to survey the situation.

The forces of the royal faction are constantly decreasing, and the only way to escape is to go back except for the blocked coastline ahead.

The Shili distribution of the Spanish Star Sect is fanned out except for the troops blocking the road, so a breakthrough is needed.

At that moment, a white light illuminated the surroundings as if it were day, and the missionaries in white robes stepped out from the back of the procession.

"That's?"

"The glorious Armada is coming! The bombardment that destroyed the enemy will be repeated! Destroy the 'city gate' of Britain again, the princess is just a prop! The stories of the past will be forgotten history, and now victory will shine on Spain! VivaEspa?a！ ”

“VivaEspa?a！ (Long live Spain!) ）”

Natsume wanted to stop the impending event and sabotage his technique, but the move was blocked.

His presence had long been discovered, and dozens of people dressed in uniform black and red tunics and loose culottes with badges in their right hands rushed over.

A simple attack should have done no damage, but Natsume retreated.

Contrary to what they imagined, this group of people must belong to the Assault Soldier category in the sect.

In front of Natsume, the more than a dozen people disappeared in front of him together.

It turned out that it was not all, except for a soldier who was extremely tall and had a strong build, everyone else had disappeared.

"Visual misjudgment?"

One person is used to attract Natsume's attention, and the others all move at high speed after unfolding the technique.

It's the back!

The swing of the club knocked the weapon behind it from the side, and Natsume turned around as the enemy was stunned, and his left hand slammed into the enemy's abdomen as the metal club turned around.

Without mercy, Natsume's left hand pierced his stomach, and bright red blood spurted out, making Natsume tremble with a burst of refreshment.

There is no mercy for the enemy, help the poor, help the needy, and then, punish the rebels!

He drew his fist and grabbed the enemy before he could fall.

Sting!

The broadsword suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the powerful Liliang tore through the corpse's waist, cutting it through the middle.

Seizing this opportunity, Natsume let go of the enemy's lifeless body and lowered his body and rushed forward, but before the enemy could realize Natsume's movements, he was knocked down by Natsume, who was faster than his own dynamic shili.

As if hitting a ball, the club, swinging horizontally, slammed into the enemy's waist, and with a muffled snort, the huge body smashed into the group of warriors behind it.

By inertia, he kept running forward, not to escape, but to protect the attacked carriage.

Although the soldiers sent by the royal family were doing their best to protect the third princess, the difference in numbers was too great for long, even with the protection provided by the carriage.

The maid covered the wound on her left shoulder with her hand, which seemed to have been torn by a wild animal, and Natsume pulled her over, whether the other party wanted it or not, and rudely inserted her blood-stained left hand into her wound.

"What are you doing!"

“biedong！”

A large amount of restoring mana is improvised and poured into the opponent's shoulder, providing them with an outward defense after removing the filth.

"...... the hell!!"

"It's all said, it's just a nameless mercenary, you can't hold it here, let Queen Vilian come down and escape!"

"However, Her Royal Highness is unwilling to give up this equipment."

"What?"

"As a member of the royal family, she knows what to do! What is it to abandon the soldiers and flee alone, Her Royal Highness can't do it. ”

"Is that her reply?!"

Is this the princess of 'human virtue'?!

The next moment, when Natsu witnessed a soldier flying and tried to persuade Verian to get off the carriage, the earth shook, and the sky became even darker, and the wind and clouds surged like waves running overhead.

Screams rang out, shelling sounded, and the shouts of thousands of people resounded through the sky.

The soldiers of the royal family were forced to gather together, but they were slowly losing numbers in the face of attacks from all directions.

"That's it! The Armada built by Spain?! ”

Some of the soldiers let out a bitter shout, and many of them looked desperate when they heard it.

Natsume saw it too.

There was something in the sky, wrong, it was a fleet.

The people on the British side who were present were dumbfounded.

Floating in the air were more than 100 warships, as many as 2,000 cannons all pointed at the crowd below.

The translucent canvas was all raised, and the reproduced Armada turned its bow and aimed all at the British side below.

Even if it is translucent, you can see the sturdy hull and powerful cannon made of iron and solid wood.

The Armada, a powerful fleet at sea that is currently being built by Spain. Equipped with many short-range, powerful cannons and other killing guns.

"Since the Empress has the 'Mobile Iron Castle', which is known as the strongest defense, our fleet will not pose a threat, but the rest will suffer from the karmic fire of our fleet and the roar of the victor!"

Damn it!

Natsume saw that the muzzle of the cannon had been aimed, and looked at the dozens of people up and down behind him, with a helpless expression.

The third princess, Verion, wanted her people to flee with her, and she didn't want to abandon them, but that was impossible.

What can a girl at the age of fourteen do?

She neither has a spiritual costume nor can she use it properly, so such a 'human' princess may only be able to watch the death of these people.

Natsume wanted to shout and let everyone come behind his back, relying on the powerful magic output to resist the combat power of a country's fleet, but at this moment, a figure passed in front of him.

The third princess of the British royal family, a blonde woman with snow-white skin wearing a green dress that appears like a fairy tale book.

At present, the expression on her face is not panicked, but resolute.

As if the Buddha had decided something, it was not 'human virtue', but the royal daughter with 'liliang'.

With her hands outstretched, shielding Natsume and everyone else behind her, Verian spoke

"Your purpose is nothing more than to take me away, so now I can dispose of you at will, how about letting the people behind you go? I swear with the dignity of the royal family that I will never break my oath by running away, so please put an end to this battle! ”

"Magisters are loners, and don't like to hear useless things say, but don't you know? If you can, killing you is the most convenient way, the reappearance of the Invincible Armada, open fire! ”

"Hey!"

Since the fleet is a reproduction of a magical shell, their artillery bombardment is not a physical cannonball, but a purely magical cannonball, so it takes a while to fire.

Therefore, Natsume grabbed the princess in front of him.

"Her Royal Highness! Let go of your hands! ”

Some of them rebelled against Natsume's feelings and aimed their weapons at Natsume.

"What for! When I want to live, I stand in place biedong! ”

"Who are you?"

"Accept the nameless mercenary from that bastard leader."

I don't know how many times I've said this, but when Natsume finished speaking, Verian struggled.

"Let go of me! They'll all ...... if they continue."

"Then you're good to go! If you want them all to live! If you look forward to such a miracle! I'll create it for you! ”

Natsume watched the oncoming shelling.

"Third princess, do you have the consciousness to sacrifice everything?!"

"If only the status quo could be solved."

"Then hug me!"

"Huh?! But how can such an intimate action between a man and a woman be ......"

It's a nuisance.

The reason why she was asked to hold herself was not because of lewd thoughts, but because of Natsume's insurance.

She will take action, and the main person to protect is Veryanne, so she needs to be with her for a moment.

The act of telling will cause the two people to separate, which will increase the risk factor.

Because......

"I'm trying to fight the fleet power of the whole country alone."
