CHAPTER 58 – MATCHED TO THOUSANDS
I came to Rica’s place .
As I entered, she was having a meeting with guys who seemed bossy, so I thought I’d come later, but I got caught by Rica’s expression .
It was a face that was almost crying .
Just like that, I went to where Rica is .
「Baron Yuuki? We are having an important」
「Well, well」
A middle-aged man tried to drive me away, but a young man stopped that .
I ignored the both of them, and asked Rica .
「What, did something happen?」
「Kakeru……save me」
「Ou, what should I do」
I heard the story from Rica .
「Meaning, the place called Saria’s fronts had collapsed, so want me to do something about it」
「Un」
「I got it . If the fronts have collapsed, soldiers are probably needed . Prepare them quickly, I’ll do the preparations on my part」
「I understand . Acheron, gather all the soldiers that you can」
「Are you serious, Your Majesty, it is for the better offering peace and tighten our guards, rather than retaliating」n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
「That is only when Kakeru’s not there」
Rica declared clearly .
「If it’s Kakeru, he will do something about it」
「Ou, I’ll do it . I only need to push back the enemy army, and steal back the place called Saria right」
「That casually……」
「Acheron, this is an order」
Rica declared again . With a commanding tone .
「……I have understood」
Acheron gave up .
Next, the young man opened his mouth .
「There is only one problem」
「Statis?」
「Baron Yuuki’s position . Demon Sword Wielder, Goshaku-sama . If I am correct, he should have received barony from Comotoria . If you go out to the frontlines, will not Baron Yuuki worsen his position?」
「Don’t care」
I declared .
「What’s wrong with saving my own woman . And if they would want to take away my barony with that, let them do it」
「Kakeru……」
Rica’s eyes were wet .
It looks like she was moved . She had tears, but it was far better than her crying face earlier .
「Meaning, it’s like that . Is there any other problems?」
I looked at Acheron and Statis . It looks like there’s none .
☆
I warped, returning to the mansion for once, and went back taking Nana and Io with me .
Because the two would be useful on a battlefield, I took them with me .
Taking the two, while being seen off by Rica, we departed together with the gathered soldiers .
Saria’s a place that I’d go for the first time, so I hurried with a horse .
After running there for a whole day with almost no breaks, I reached a fortress that was surrounded .
「Is that it?」
I asked Nana who was on my side .
「It should be the fortress called Debai . As the flags look, the Calamba side is being besieged, surrounded by the Comotoria side」
Looking carefully after Nana’s explanation, it actually looks like that .
On top of that, the fortress is also being attacked right now, and seems to be losing .
『If this was taken, they would probably advance to the next base』
Well, that’s true .
「Yosh, let’s enter the fortress first」
「We will enter?」
Io was surprised .
「We’ll charge through from behind, and go to the fortress at once . Nana, do as you like」
「Understood」
「Io too . Lend lightning magic」
【Magic Powers of Lightning will be lent to Io Akos . Time Remaining: 59 minutes 59 seconds】
「I-I got it」
「Yosh, let’s go」
I held Eleanor and Hikari, and charged with Nana, Io, and the soldiers we took with us .
The Comotoria army that noticed us intercepts .
There were around thousands of enemy soldiers that are surrounding it, but it doesn’t matter with breaking through .
The hundreds of soldiers I had from Rica broke through, and reached the fortress .
「I had been told by the Queen Her Majesty, open the gates!」
I shouted with a loud voice towards the fortress .
Unlike the sounds of the battlefield, sounds of hesitance and noises could be heard .
The gates wouldn’t open, it looks like they are hesitating .
Tch, you incompetents .
And while that was happening, the enemy soldiers closed in .
The soldiers I took with me collapses .
「Tch!」
I turned around, and cut the enemy soldiers .
「Nana! Lead the soldiers and go behind me . And persuade them to open the gates」
「What will Aruji do」
「I’ll enter last」
「Understood」
「Io, shoot magic as much as you want . If you want to, don’t mind hitting them with me」
「I understand」
I stopped the enemy soldiers with Io .
And while that happened, Nana somehow persuaded the Calamba soldiers in the fortress, and entered with the soldiers we took with us .
While defending against the enemy soldiers, I entered lastly .
☆
「I am the adjutant of the Comotoria Subjugation Army, Eria Irio」
After entering the fortress, a woman welcomed us .
A woman who seems cold, and lacks flexibility .
「I am Yuuki Kakeru, a baron . I came, being told by Rica . My bad, but you’d hear my commands」
「Rica……?」
Eria’s eyebrows narrowed .
「Rather than that, the situationーー」
「Aruji, it looks like the enemy continued their attacks」
Nana said .
「Tch! There’s no end」
「We’ll intercept」
Eria said .
「Wait, leave this to me」
「Leave this, you mean?」
「There’s no end playing defensive normally right? I want to talk leisurely . I will make them shut up for a while」
「What are you planning to do?」
「Open the gates . Don’t attack until I say so」
「But……」
I ignored that, and went towards the gates .
The soldier was surprised, but I said with a firm tone, and let him open the gates .
I went outside the fortress alone .
「Close it」
「Y-Yes」
I stood in front of the gates, and glared at the enemy soldiers .
Eleanor, and Hikari .
I held the two of them, and clad my body with twice the dark aura .
The enemy army who re-invaded stopped .
「My name is Yuuki Kakeru!」
When I named my self, they clattered around .
「The ones who wants to die……bring it on!」
I shouted with a loud voice .
The clattering stopped .
『Wa〜, Otou-san, so cool〜』
『H-Hmph . This much is natural』
While holding the mother and daughter who were talking inside my head, I glared at the enemy army that had got silent .
After waiting for a while, enemy soldiers charged .
It’s cavalry, their numbers are ten .
I stopped their charge, and slashed the Demon Sword through all of them with their horses .
Ten of them charged again . I slashed them off just like earlier .
Next, arrows flew from afar . The arrows that fell like rain, I slashed through all of them with the Demon Sword .
And lastly .
「My name is Manos, I will challenge you to a one on one fight」
The man who had challenged me full of confidence, I cut him into half with one slash .
I defeated all of the enemies who attacked one next to the other by myself .
And after doing that, I felt like fear and disrupt spread on their side .
After a while, the Comotoria soldiers retreated, surrounded the Debai fortress from afar, and stopped moving .
After confirming that, I casually returned inside of the fortress .
