Chapter 244 - Closing

Closing

(A soldier’s under Iris’s mother point of view)

Even though there was a sword in front of her nose, she did not appear to be particularly surprised.

“…slow”

Instead she said those words while smiling.… Of course, that’s not the word you’d said to an enemy in front of you.

“I’m sorry”

That was the answer from Lyle who was pointing a blade to the enemy general in front of her.Behind him … In a different direction from where they came in, there were the soldiers from Lyle and Dida.

“You’re too fast. To be honest, I didn’t get in time.”

“… But it was easy to do?”

“Well, yes. If the two parties rush in at the same time, the confusion will be greater. But I understood well. I lost.”

“Looking at our locations, yes, because there were fewer people guarding from the direction you came in than from where we were coming in.”

Mary was working to predict and support their movements.At the same time as their entering, they were aiming to deepen the enemy’s confusion.

“Well, I thought you guys would come. …… but I had to to help and thought why not better take his head.”

To the end, the initiative was to help the army lead by Dida and Lyle.What happened in the territory will be resolved now …Mary thought that it was desirable that after this display of power, the foreign enemies take their eyes away from this place.

…… However, even if Lyle’s arrival was late, the feat was accomplished.Now, an early solution should be the first priority.If reinforcements come to the enemy, the difference in strength will further increase.Then, it will be difficult to overturn …

“… For now, let me ask you a question”

With a sharp glance, Lyle directs hi voice to an enemy general.Only then, the man shouted “Hi …”.

“Who are you?”

The man gazes to the right and to the left.But no one moves to help him.Because his companions have already been thrown away by Mary or Lyle.The rest of the group are reluctant to turn their gaze towards us.At the time, Lyle is aiming his sword at the hostage, it can not be helped.Lyle brought the sword closer to the enemy’s neck.And, one crimson line falls from the enemy’s neck.

“Answer or he dies. Who from Acacia sent you?”

Next to me, Mary asked in a different language.The man bites his lips at those words.

“Oh, you … you know Acacia! ”

“Somewhat. So who are you? ”

“Well, I am the first Acacia prince, Jalal Bento Acacia! ”

“Eh … this man is the first prince?”

Mary and Lyle, who was listening to the conversation through an interpreter, were just perfect.The two have an embarrassed expression without hiding.

“Isn’t it a lie? Normally, the first prince will have some protection. If he makes a mistake in a decision, others will prevent him.”

“First, I have never heard of a first prince invading another country.”

…… Well, she can’t speak too.. I have never heard of a Duchess taking the lead and running around the battlefield … I thought for a moment such a thing.Lyle was having a heartfelt laughter while thinking the same thing.

“You guys … do you know what happens if you scratch me? ”

The first prince and the enemy commander began to smile invincible.

“… Why did you attack this place? ”

“His Majesty conspired with the Twil country. After the war, the land of the Almeria duke and its surroundings will become of the kingdom of Acacia, and the rest will be for Twil’s country. I was going ahead of the war as proof of that cooperation. ”

Lyle looked at him and his face distorted.

“Oh so.. that’s it”

But Mary next to Lyle continued to have an easy smile on her face.When she heard what she wanted to hear, the response was that we have seen before.

“Lyle. The truth is that this guy is definitely a member of the royal family. Let’s just wait for a bit to cut his neck. In the meantime, take him with you. He may be useful for my girl to negotiate in the future ”

And after she said that, his reaction was quick.He shook the hand-held sword and tried to escape while swinging it.At the same time, a cry like a beast resounds on the spot.

“… Well, did you think that you would just order this and return unscathed? You should know the pain of a person.”

Seeing the man, Lyle roared while frightening him with his sword.She laughs happily at the sight.She opens her mouth as she looks down at the man who shed tears.

‘Oh. feel safe. We will not kill you. Be grateful to the lady. At best, help this land. ”

Lyle pushes a cloth into his mouth and ties him. And then, he beats him.

“Well, this isn’t going to kill you,”

“Surely, but is this our only option? He was annoying.”

Like nothing, she returns the words.

“But how … how could you be sure that he’s from the royal family?”

“He’s right middle finger ring. Each royal in the country is given a unique symbol and wears it carved in a ring.

As Mary said, a golden ring was put on the man’s middle finger.The jewel is not inlaid in the center, but a bull pattern is carved in its place.

“Huh, I see. … So, Mary can we return?”

“Yeah, of course. I just came to help, everything else is for you to decide.”

Lyle smiles in pain at those words.However, he immediately changed expression and opened his mouth.

“Clean up the people of this place! Leave no one!”

And those who have been under the first prince, are hit further into confusion.The soldiers lead by Lyle steadily discard enemies one after another.Without danger and without stopping.…… I came to the Anderson family training at an early age, so I know their childhood but … well, this is still surprising.

And behind that, Mary started giving instructions to us.It is amazing to see that she was not really serious when she opened the enemy line.Even I was surprised that I could not see her limit … The surprises of the soldiers were terrific.

Like dancing in blood, just specializing in “breaking” her opponents.We are intimidated to keep up with it.Then, as she continued to fight, most of those who were on the ground without being able to resist die in a flash.Of course, it was because she had crushed their heads at one swing.At the same time, Dida, who was committed to defending, also joined the cleanup.… and the battle that took place in the east was over.
