Shikkaku Kara Hajimeru Nariagari Madō Shidō

Episode 89 In Situation of Neglect

The clouds were carried by the fast westerly wind, and the sky that was clear had no shadow to see in time.

The grey canopy blocks out the sunlight, causing the area to be more gloomy even during the highest-ever afternoon.

Does such a dark sign imply something that will happen?

― ― Arcs had already left the battlefield with Seiran and the guards.

The location is a highway built to tear down forests and woods behind the Enemy, on the eastern side of the plain.

The roads are wide, familiar, and well-maintained, as they also pass large carriages.However, because tall trees are lush on both sides of the street, and the development of parts other than the road is not proceeding, it is still an illusion that the road width that should be wide feels somewhat cramped...?

As soon as the cloudy weather clears up, the darkness of the trees is about to leak, and the path is so dark.

As it stands, there are only a dozen guards and a minimum number.

As a result, many of the nearby guards remain on the battlefield, allowing them to retreat without fear of the outcome of the battle.

The crusade was originally victorious, and all we need is time to win.

There is no chance of being covered from here.

That's why I still don't know what this annoying anxiety in my chest is.

The formation consists of three horses in front, two horses on either side, and five horses behind.At the center of this is a situation where you and Seiran are running horses.

While heading towards the rear formation, Seiran talks to me.

"I remember one day they told me how to use the rest of the fake... but I didn't expect to use it like this."

"Yes"

"Arcs, do you think that improvised tensioner can do the rest well?

"I know it's possible.If no one else knew, Your Highness would have been on the battlefield until the end. "

"Hmm...."

…… Excuse me, Your Highness, do you have any concerns?

Secondly, I can feel the shadow in Seirean's voice, and I say such a question.

I feel like I'm worried about something when I float over to Sayoshi Face.

However, the answer did not return immediately.For Seiran, who has always returned clear answers without worrying so far, the impression is that it takes a lot of time to answer.

Eventually,

"Arcs"

"What is it?

"Do you really think that was the right decision?

"Is that about retreating?

"That's right. Let me tell you what you think."

Do you want to hear it again from someone else?

If Seiran had the same indifferent anxiety as herself, she might want to dispel it.

"Well, I'm afraid... in the circumstances, Your Highness's retreat is a tough one.Polk Nadar was after His Highness, and if the Empire were after His Highness, it would be none other than His Highness.If such plots are stupid anywhere on the battlefield, pulling His Highness away from the battlefield will frustrate the plan beforehand. "

"Can't you imagine that the Empire's plan will overwhelm the Nadar army's defeat?

"If we are to change that situation, we will have to replenish as many troops as the Crusaders, and if so, the Empire has no reason to let Polk Nadar win.Instead, we don't suspect involvement, so we think it would be a good idea to cut through early when we are disadvantaged. "

"I see... I think so too much.I think so..... "

……

Seiran leaks his words so that he can hear them.

In suspicion of such rhetoric, Seiran began to whisper.

"... I smell it.I can't smell it. "

"Is it the smell?

"That's right. There was originally a strange smell on the battlefield, but when I came here, the smell became stronger."

"Does that smell matter?

Hmm.

For some reason, it seems that Seiran is bound to something called smell rather than a logical explanation.

But the smell is everywhere.Outdoors, the smell of soil, the smell of herbs and flowers.If you are indoors, the smell of building materials and furnishings, etc.Of course, the smell of blood can be mentioned first on the battlefield.

However, Seiran's words do not touch such a smell, and they cannot smell like that now that they are away from the battlefield.

You try to touch the core of words that imply something else, and you say the question.

"Your Highness, what the hell is that smell?

"Cigars... no, paper cigarettes."

Paper cigarettes?

You can't smell like that in a place like this.Of course, the guards don't smoke paper during the battle, and even if they have a smoking appetite, no one should bring it to the battlefield.

After all, there must be something.

That's how I thought about it, then.

"--- Seylan Crossell Road! Ready? Ooh!

――

All of a sudden, I hear voices aimed at life.As it approached from the right side, someone burst out of the trees and jumped out with the horses.

The number is not a single horse.The five or six horsemen came together and stormed with their spears pointing forward.

"Empire......"

"Ambush here!

"Ah, everyone! Protect His Highness!

The guards were quick to respond, but naturally there was no way they could have responded in time.

Though himself and Seiran rushed the horses and escaped the assault, the Kintetsu, who was defending the side of the attacker who appeared, was properly attacked and repelled.

"Your Highness, please stop!

"Kh, have you seen it before!?

Immediately after Seiran raised his voice and stopped the horse, a cavalry appeared from the gap in the trees ahead to block our path.

Naturally, we have to stop.As the horse hisses a chorus because of the sudden braking, Kintetsu quickly pulls the horse into the defense to protect the Seiran.

... more than twenty cavalry troops emerged from the woods.

Both mares are heavily armed, and all of them are wearing black armor.Armor is also black. The horses are also black.Armed black. A dark cavalry with everything dyed black.

In addition, the chest is stamped with a sigil indicating that he is an Empire soldier.

--Why in this place?

Such words occupy your head.

The raider, the Imperial Cavalry, immediately blocked the path ahead and the rear exit after hitting one side of our formation.

I can only imagine that this move was supposed to be a retreat.

I can't grasp the full picture of what happened, but I didn't have time to think about it at all right now.

"Chia-- a falling spear.The flash of murder. Dazzling gold.And he that is foolish shall crawl over the earth, and be covered in coal: and a golden spear shall offer himself before him.Redress. Destroy. Scream from heaven! "

In response to the raid by the Imperial soldiers, Seiran immediately cast magic on them.Lightning flashes immediately with the glow, but the Imperial Soldiers either expected it or prompted the horse to move quickly and disperse it before magically activating it.It avoids it brilliantly.

Good move. Too good.The way the horses move is so remarkable that it is not comparable to what the Nadar army has seen so far.

Is this the Imperial Cavalry?

"Your Highness, this is the Black Panther of the Empire!You're being interrupted--hah!?

Arrows penetrate Jinsho's armor, prompting him to pay attention.

It appears that the cavalry behind the unit was holding a large crossbow in one turn.

"Ah... don't worry, everyone!Protect yourself!

As Seiran screamed, he immediately went down from the horse he was riding and hid in the shadow.

An arrow was fired from the crossbow.A series of rain-like shootings hit the guards defending Seiran, as well as themselves.

I can't defend myself against spells in time.

"Damn it, this... wow!

Move the horse to avoid the shot arrows.

Most of the arrows were focused on Seiran and Kintetsu, so they could be dodged, but still some hit the horses.

The equilibrium of the horse's feet collapsed.

The horse's sad sigh rose.

--- My leg breaks. The moment I realized that, I took advantage of the momentum of the horse to fall and jumped out of the horse.Though I managed to kill the momentum and land with the noise of rubbing the ground with shoes and being wrapped in sand and smoke, I now have a distance between myself and Seiran.

It seems that some of the nearby guards who turned to the defense have lost their horses.

Shortly afterwards, instructions flew among the Imperial Cavalry.

― ― First of all, the nearby guard! Kill the guards!You can use all the arrows!

The enemy moved quickly.

The remaining guards were thrown with all sorts of arrows.

Although Kintetsu died and paid for it, there were too many arrows flying in.

The remaining nearby guards fell off one after the other.Many people breathe, but cannot move satisfactorily due to arrow injuries.

The moans that you hear and the words that encourage Seirean escape.

... almost instantly.In an instant, all the guards on the guard were defeated.

All that remains is you and Seiran.

Besides losing a horse, there is a distance between us and Seiran.

The situation was worse than ever.

(Damn...)

The sound of biting your back teeth resounds in your skull.

A man who looks like a commander of the Imperial Army stepped forward and disembarked in a deadly lifetime.

Like all the other cavalry, they were neat and sturdy, wearing black armor.

When I was young, I probably hung it from the early to mid-20s.

It looks like it's everywhere, and it looks like it could be buried in a group.

Light blue eyes are powerful and remind me of honesty.

The commander's man took off his helmet and thanked him on the spot, abbreviated but imperial.

"For the first time, I would like to express my gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Seiran Crosel Road.I am Düsseia Lubanka of the Eastern Side of the British Empire.In the Eastern Army, you will hold the rank of Lieutenant General. "

Did Seiran remember that name?

"... I know.Ride Düsseia. Originally from a clan that was hostile to the Empire, but the emperor appreciated his bravery and gave him a high position in the army... yes. "

"I am honored to be known to His Royal Highness the Famous Prince."

To hear what Seiran has to say, he seems to be a famous general.

However, the fact that such generals were waiting for such a location to be clear meant that the Empire had been targeting only the Seirans from the beginning.

The question is why the Empire was able to read through the withdrawal of Seychelles - but the Imperial soldiers did not give us a respite to answer.

Aim for the rest of the neck.

"Yes, I'm afraid I'll have your neck - don't be alarmed, everyone!Surrounded by horses, all at once!

…………

"Nh, Your Highness!

As he screams, Seiran is surrounded by cavalry.

And as the black spear did not stick out at once, the surrounding air suddenly faded.

"─ ─ Ha, I didn't expect such an attack to harm the rest of us, you bastards!

The echoing anger of Seirian.

It was shortly after Seiran shook away the Chinese sword.Rigid winds swept through the area and the Imperial Cavalry, which was trying to harm the Seilan, was blown away by the horses.

Hmm!?

What the-!?

Seiran flips his black hem and pierces the sword into the ground as his surprises overlap with those of Dusseia.As the roar of lightning reverberated, the ground broke like a crack, and a small shake of the ground wound around.

Seiran shouted loudly, showing himself standing majestically in front.

"I don't know what to expect!Royal Crosel Road is going to be a prince, Seiran!Know that you won't get a single hair wound from such an end-of-life attack!

A majestic voice runs around like a shock.

In this desperate situation, the stature of the enemy soldier shouting grandly had the exact style of a king.

"Let go of the sword here..."

Did you see Seiran stab a sword on the ground as an opportunity?One of the blown up Imperial Soldiers strikes out hostility towards Seyran.

As it is, they will attack immediately.

"Wait! Don't be alarmed!

Düsseia screamed in a hurry, but the voice of restraint was too late.

─ Seven swords (swords) invite you down from heaven.The sword shines and crushes its enemies with a glimmer of light.The clouds of night light will be torn apart before the drums whistle.Before the trembling screaming arrow (Koshi) disappears, both Kasumi and Koshi.Confused, filthy, crossed, the cries of those who glorify the thunderbolts turn away, and dwell in this hand, sword of thunder!

Seirian spells are completed even sooner than the Imperial soldiers attack than the voice of Dusseia reaches.

When the Magic Letter (Arts Glyph) produced by chanting rotates with a blue color on the palm of Seiran, it eventually turns into a glowing sphere with intermittent lightning.When Seiran stretches the bulb of light, which has grown into a bow, as if to squeeze the bow, the bulb is fixed in the shape of a sword with a buzzing sound.In the meantime, the dust inspired by the blue lightning rises, and eventually the blue light begins to clutter the air.

A bluish irritating odor standing around.As the toxicity of ozone began to cause tingling pain in the back of my throat, I heard:

- [Thunderbolt Sword].

With the completion of the magic, Seiran fires a thundering sword from his hand.

Shortly afterwards, high temperatures of up to 30,000 degrees Celsius create shock waves and blow away everything.The thunderbolt of lightning, which broke through the air wall, scattered shocks like white clouds all around it, penetrating into the location targeted by Seiran.The lightning spread far beyond the earlier lightning strike and hit the ground.

Several people, including enemy Imperial soldiers, are caught in the middle of the discharge.

Don't forget the scream of the demon who rises at the moment of death.

There is no intermittent tremor caused by electric shock.

The Imperial soldiers finally lay down on the ground with only one tremor.

Seiran pulls a sword pierced into the ground as he watches.Following the impact of the sword, the overwhelming power was revealed, but the Imperial soldiers' wars continued unabated.

We're going to surround Seiran again.

Seylan tries to intercept it, too.

(No, if you can see it...)

Immediately after a self-consciousness is born in your mind, you run out for backup.

I kicked the ground and hurried to Seiran... where the Imperial soldiers stood.

"The kid! Stay out of my way!

"Kh...!

Blackspear shaken.

I put my sword to sleep to catch it when it came from the front, but it was blown away because of the punch that made me say something.

As they roll and poke their knees, the Imperial soldiers come at them with spears to eliminate themselves.

Fast moving. It's not as agile as a mercenary's head one day.

Even the shortest spell, I couldn't make it.
