The sound of the cannon was still rumbling, the river was still quiet, and in the fog, on the narrow and long beach above the riverbank, Karl crouched at the feet of Liella without saying a word to dismantle the mines.

It was five minutes, but the mines still hadn't been cleared.

The time for the shelling had supposedly passed, but in order to hide the roar of the engines of the Edelweiss and the Diving III tanks at both ends of the riverbank, the shelling did not stop, and everyone knew what it would mean if the bubble stopped, and the enemy heard the sound of the engines on the river beach.

Liella will definitely die if she steps on a mine, but that's not everyone's concern.

Most people care about the commander, and it is Karl who will find out that the enemy will be beaten into a sieve by the enemy's bullets.

This is unacceptable to the entire force.

So the shelling troops extended the shelling time, and even though the shelling time has now passed, the shelling is still going on......

"Commander, it's already okay, you've worked hard, please go. ”

Looking at the busy sweating at his feet, Calliella knew that if he did not attack again, it would be too late to send people when the enemy became suspicious.

If you step on an anti-infantry mine, once you explode, you will blow off your entire leg and then bleed to death, and you deserve to die when you step on a mine, but the regiment commander should not die here, he still has his own mission.

"Call me Carl, don't talk to me for five minutes"

Carl, who was concentrating on clearing mines, really didn't have the time to chat with Liella now, so he continued to clear mines after a casual remark.

“......”

Seeing Karl's sweaty and focused expression, Liella didn't understand that his young regiment commander was actually afraid of it, this was a mine, a mine that could blow them all up casually.

"My full name is Liella Maruserys......"

I don't know why. Liella wanted to talk so badly right now, wanted to talk to Carl

"My home is in the northern border area, and on the first day of the war, I responded to the call to join the Volunteer ......"

Looking at Carl, who risked his life to dismantle the mines for herself, Liella was so moved that she wanted to express all her worries

“...... Later, our troops were surrounded by the emperor, and the entire army died except for me and others...... Except for me, everyone...... All of them...... Not a single one escaped......"

Liella is strong but fragile, her strong instinct is the instinct to fight, and the fragile is the heart that belongs to the human being, she has survived countless battles alone, and she has experienced countless life, death, parting and despair, and the lonely heart becomes more lonely and lonely after death, more sensitive and fragile, and more easily injured.

"In the end, by the time of the great defeat before the Second Battle of Lando Barsa, all the troops I had stayed in had been wiped out three times, and after that, no unit dared to take me in, so I was assigned to the punitive force. ”

Although she is always strong, cold and guarded, in fact, Liella, who is fragile and easily shaken inside, is easily hesitant and scared, and she wants someone who can stand up for her when she is afraid of being alone and hurt...... Preferably a man.

"After that, the people in the army rarely communicated with me because of my name of death, and it wasn't until Kreuzer came to the army a few days ago that the situation improved slightly......"

But the bitter and sad thing is that Liella lacks understanding of her own strength and fighting instincts, she has no idea that it is almost impossible for the kind of man who can save her in a situation that she can't bear, so this princess who has the power of a dragon squats in the castle every day and waits for the dragon slayer warrior to come to rescue her, so naturally she can't wait for the man she wants.

Because she herself is a dragon that no man can defeat.

And today, there is finally a person who is willing to risk his life for himself.

He was so polite and kind, take a closer look...... It's also beautiful.

"That...... That ......"

Probably because happiness and joy came too suddenly, and Liella, who was put to death, suddenly found that the situation she was in with Carl at this time was not the situation she had been looking forward to?

A man risked his life to protect himself for himself.

Isn't this handsome, beautiful and responsible man right in front of him now?

In an instant, the figure of Captain Kreuzer and Karl appeared in her mind at the same time, and after a short hesitation and thinking, Liella ghostly deleted Kreuzer's figure, leaving only Karl, only Karl, the figure of Karl who risked his life to defuse the bomb for himself.

"If I survive, I can ...... OK...... Do you want to be a secretary to the head of the regiment?"

Although looking at Carl, Liella suddenly felt a cat's claw feeling in her heart, pure and a little shy, where was she embarrassed to say that kind of thing as soon as she opened her mouth, so she had to take the curve to save the country and start with the secretary first.

"Yes, as long as you survive, you can do whatever you want. ”

Carl was still sweating profusely to dismantle the mines, and he didn't even hear what Liella had said just now.

"Thank you Carl, thank you for coming to save me at such a moment, thank you very much~"

For the first time, Liella felt the breath of spring......

............

"Hey. Fredrica, do you think Liella is smiling?"

"Well, I think I'm really smiling......"

"I laughed when I stepped on a mine...... The Grim Reaper or something, it's really terrifying. ”

....................................

"Boom--boom--"

The long night was finally coming to an end, and the last darkness before dawn would pass in less than twenty minutes, and Yargarov, who had been busy all night in front of the area, dragged his tired body and lay down on the sofa in the war room, ready to take a nap for the possible enemy offensive in the morning.

The sound of artillery outside the house was still continuous, and the uneasiness in his heart always lingered, so he was worried, and lying on the sofa, he checked the time again on his watch and found that the shelling time had been a full five minutes overtime.

What's going on?

Just as I was about to get up and call the front to confirm the situation, the gunfire finally stopped.

The silent dawn of the fog seemed to descend on the world in an instant, and Yargarov's sleepiness hit him in an instant.

It may be that the artillery commander was too tired to look at the wrong time, and this kind of thing also happened after the shelling all night.

Thinking about it, he collapsed on the couch and prepared for bed.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

At the same time as he collapsed on the couch, the saturation shelling, which was even crazier than yesterday, began......

24 howitzers began to fire at the same time, and the rear position of the emperor instantly fell into a sea of fire.

"Tong - Hugh ............"

A red signal flare shot out of the building slowly fell on an anti-tank fortification built with sandbags in front of the bridgehead, and before the emperor ** in the fortification understood that a shell flew across the river and accurately hit the fog with red light in the dense fog, with the explosion of the grenade, as an attack signal, the whole shelling stopped on time at ten minutes, and the three tanks of the 422 troops that landed on the east side and the edelweiss grass that landed on the west rushed to the river embankment at full speed at the same time. Under the shocked gaze of the patrolman, he calmly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the unprepared imperial barricades and fortifications that were close at hand......

"Boom!"
