Following Maithausen's orders, his army launched an attack on the enemy, and the soldiers, who had been preparing for a tough battle, suddenly discovered a strange thing, that is, the enemy's defenses were unexpectedly weak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The seemingly well-packed military formation barely put up much resistance and allowed the soldiers of Maithausen to touch the princess's ranks, but this is not an unusual thing, and it is easy to create such an effect if you make a surprise attack before the other commander can react.

But obviously, the term 'unexpected' is not so simple.

When a group of soldiers rushed into the princess's ranks, they found that the enemies were so weak that it would be flattering to even say they were weak. No strength, no strangers to weapons, no way to cooperate, just like a group of ordinary civilians.

If that's not enough to put it in a nutshell, put it another way - the gap between the two sides made the battle a one-sided slaughter.

The battlefield was instantly bloody.

Looking at this completely soured battle, Maithausen's heartbeat quickened for no reason, and he instinctively felt the danger, but he couldn't say where the danger was, plus the battle had already begun, and it was not something that could be stopped with a word, so Maithausen could only hold back the uneasiness in his heart and watch the subsequent development.

Hancock was furious, he knew the reason why the princess brought this army that could not be called an army, and he supported this approach, because it would allow the princess to establish a certain voice and influence among the damned northern nobles, and on the other hand, it was also to be able to make some achievements when crusading against the demon king.

However, the miscellaneous members of the aristocratic faction attacked the princess of the royal family, and as a knight, Hancock had always adhered to his duties and dogmas, and it was precisely because of this that Hancock could not stand the rebellion of Maithausen, let alone the massacre of civilians.

"Bastard!Maithausen!!"

Hancock's anger turned into a roar, and the kind of anger that could make people feel the murderous intent clearly reached Maithausen, and Maithausen only saw this old enemy at this moment.

Unlike other people's speculations, Maithausen understands the relationship between Hancourt and the former king, and the so-called sudden disappearance can probably guess that Hancock received a secret order from the former king. It is precisely because of this that when Hancock appeared next to Charlotte, the warning in Maithausen's heart roared wildly.

Although Hancock was eager to immediately step forward and kill the scum who had corrupted the country and rebelled against the royal family, he did not move.

In this short relationship, Hancock knew Albert's skills, knew that this young man had good political skills and strategies, but he did not have the fighting ability of a real knight, so even if Hancock wanted to kill Maithausen and save lives as much as possible, he could only reluctantly lose his thoughts, because protecting the princess in this raid was the most important thing.

I don't know if I really didn't react, or if I originally planned to let it go, and it wasn't until now that the northern nobles sent troops to press in in a form of convergence.

Since neither side had any real intention of going to war, the battle lasted only a short time before it ended, and the only one who could be considered a heavy casualty in the army was the princess's side.

More than a third of the civilian-based army died on the spot, and most of the rest were seriously injured and protected by Hancock because of their proximity to the princess, but few were lightly wounded.

This time, the situation once again returned to the situation when the two armies had just met, but the army that had experienced a brief confrontation was now full of blood, as if it would immediately start fighting again.

The nobles of the north drove their horses to the front, presenting a situation of confrontation with Maithausen.

Although one of them is a nobleman guarding the border, everyone belongs to the upper aristocratic circle of Heberis, and even if they don't communicate much, they know each other to a certain extent.

Just as the northern nobles were about to speak, the princess's carriage suddenly drove out of the military formation, and the carriage, which was originally more symbolic than practical, was stained with blood at the moment, and the two knights next to the carriage were also stained with blood, but the blood stains on Hancock's body came from the enemy, and the blood stains on Albert's body were only accidentally splashed.

Standing in the carriage, Charlotte clenched her pink fists, and her calm and gloomy expression made her look like she was enduring something.

Both the northern aristocracy and Maithausen were surprised by Charlotte's move, which was generally either intended to burn the enemy camp after the war or had a brain problem.

Maithausen, who didn't understand Charlotte's meaning, signaled the army to stand still, it didn't matter if the princess was the enemy, even if the princess accidentally died in battle, it would be very bad.

The northern aristocracy had a position to do something, but their words were clearly ignored by Charlotte.

Charlotte's carriage came to a halt in the middle of the two formations, and Albert stepped forward and shouted.

"Lord Lord Grimm, Her Royal Highness would like to speak with you. ”

For a moment, Maithausen even thought that he had misheard, and if his previous raid had been abrupt, then the princess's actions could only be described as ridiculous. Even so, Maithausen was not careless, and he glanced at his lieutenant before riding forward.

"What does the princess want to say?"

The old Maithausen looked like he was old and weak, but as the leader of the aristocratic faction, he was obviously not as weak as he looked, as he was now on a horse, and the calm and restrained but sometimes sharp eyes would make people subconsciously ignore the fact that he was old.

Faced with such a Maithausen, Charlotte stepped forward and said in a sad but strong tone.

"It seems that you, like the Demon King, have gone crazy to the point of extending the butcher's knife to the whole country. ”

This unfamiliar accusation made Maithausen frown, and he wanted to say something, but the faint uneasiness in his heart made him unable to open his mouth, and he could only wait quietly for Charlotte to finish.

"You are so mad that you slaughter the people who took the initiative to show up in battle because they were worried about the country, do you and the second prince also want to become terrible monsters like the demon king?"

It was still an inexplicable question, but this time, Maithausen thought of something, and he turned his gaze to the blood-soaked plain beneath his feet.

“...... Could it be said. ”

The previous uneasiness was lifted.

Charlotte's army was so weak for a simple reason, because it wasn't an army at all, it was just a bunch of civilians with equipment on. (To be continued.) )
