Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

- Ride perspective

My head suddenly brightened as I stomped desperately and fought with my sword waved myself.

"Dear Ride! That one!"

Asked and nodded. That's one of the three types of signals I had predetermined. It's a signal of successful capture. Red if you can kill Steed, white if you succeed in capturing him, blue if you let him get away with it. Apparently Lord Lapis said he was the best and gave me a good result. Enjoy the urge to scream yourself, work and calmly tell the facts.

"Oh, it's a signal of operational success! We won!

When he raised his voice so that it could be heard by all the people around him, he returned a completely different reaction on the enemy's side.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The allies are lifting spears and swords in their hands to heaven and winning, even though enemy soldiers are in front of them. The enemy, by contrast, cannot hide its agitation. They're fighting on the front lines, and they haven't heard from the enemy's general, Steed. A man of strong will would continue to fight regardless of his determination as a means of upsetting ourselves, but most people were confused as to whether we should fight or escape.

But at that time, behind them - that is, from the main formation where Steed was and around it - the sound of the horn whistles echoed simultaneously. It's all in the same code. As soon as I heard that, the enemy soldiers, who were still willing to engage, began to retreat simultaneously. I don't know exactly just the enemy codes, but I guess that was an evacuation order.

"Dear Ride! Do you want to chase!?

You were drunk on the excitement of victory after winning, the soldier's eyes telling the truth that he wanted to lift the handle. But I shake my head quietly.

"The pursuit is useless. We don't have that kind of leeway, and there's still a big opening in the force gap. I'm also bored to get my hands on it poorly and get paid back. Better hurry to rescue the wounded than that!

Though he looked dissatisfied only for a moment with my instructions, he immediately rushed to do his job again with his expression. Exhale in a ho at the way it is. Battle enthusiasm is usually easy for even sober people to lose their reason. Fortunately, however, my men seemed to be capable of disciplining themselves properly.

(Ma, if this is the army of another country, I might not have been able to push it and chase it... this time it's a civil unrest. They will soon have the opportunity to fight shoulder to shoulder. Then only if you don't buy extra grudges)

Watching the enemy troops retreating neatly, I pulled my strength out of my fortified body.

- Lapis point of view

The battle is over. Capturing Steed, the enemy's best friend, quickly converged the battle that was taking place throughout the entire area. Looks like the troops from all over Rubias and the others were back without much damage. Apparently, the black knights Steed asked for, most of whom were assigned to the main force that fought me, and the other troops were able to fight with relative ease. Karin's unit was probably the hardest part of it, simply because she could only do melee combat.

Steed tied his body with rope and after being bitten by a monkey mole, he was jailed with the severity of twenty men on guard alone. At first he seemed to curse at the soldiers on the lookout vigorously, ordering him to get himself out of here with his gaze from above, but all he returned seemed to be a mockery and scorn mixed glance. If you can keep up with the boulders like that, even that guy will be able to enjoy it, and now you think he's totally grown up?

Regardless of that Steed, we were face-to-face in the Lords' Hall in the city of Suphore. Count Grom's office is the only one, not that it's originally narrow, but I feel cramped when the boulder gets so densely populated. There are three princes in the room, Prince Magna, Rubias, Count Grom, me, Karin and Ciel, and representatives of the nobles who have joined the war this time as allies.

"Miss Lapis, I'll check again, but there's no doubt about Steed's connection to the Rebble Empire, is there?

"Yes, Steed did say. With the help of the Levre Empire. There were enemy knights and soldiers there, so I don't think the witness will have any trouble."

"Right..."

I had made general reports since the end of the battle, but when I answered Prince Magna's question, which I went to for confirmation and shame, the nobles seemed shocked, as well as Rubias. There is no reason to be hurt, either, because one or the royalty who wears it as his lord, one or his own body, was trying to sell the country. Although Karin and Ciel are flat because they have nothing to do with it.

"Then... he'll be executed publicly after the trial."

I also use a sword of truth that I've used before in a trial, so it's impossible to get away with lying. I mean, there's no escape route left for Steed. The first would definitely be the death penalty.

"Brother, how do you deal with the Rebble Empire?

"If it's true, I'd like to retaliate, but I can't afford that much in the Bordeaux Kingdom right now. So much so that after all the shapes of protest, you refuse to admit the imperials"

Prince Magna answered Rubias's question that way with his arms around him. To say that the Empire and the Kingdom of Bordeaux are alienated does not mean that there is no interaction at all. Some merchants will be doing business between the two countries, and travelers such as adventurers will come and go and get hard. It's a damaging means to each other, but don't do all this without retaliation. The face of the country will be rounded up. It was a bitter measure.

"How is the King's Capital?

"According to the nobility of the Wang Capital, the nobles who were Steeds seemed to be ready to flee as soon as they heard he had been captured. But we've already sent our allies along the border. I guess I can't get away with it now. What needs to be done now is to go to the King's Capital. If you don't save your father and master the Knights, you can't stay in law and order.... there's a chance the Levre Empire will do something about it."

I found the air in the room heavier in the words. The Rebble Empire would not have lent Steed a hand just for harassment purposes either. What was it for that provoked civil unrest and sharpened the national power of the Kingdom of Bordeaux? There are many possibilities, but isn't it normal to assume that the purpose of the invasion was still to make this noise?

This is the only major battle in the country, but before that, the assault and looting of black knights and steeds everywhere is a problem. Thanks to that, the people are distrustful of the country, and there must be a lot of people who have fled the country. Even if Prince Magna tackled his internal affairs in the King's capital, he would need considerable time to recover.

"It looks like demon damage is spreading everywhere, so you have to turn knights and soldiers there first"

"Exactly. Ask the nobles and their soldiers who participated in this battle to settle down and then give them a prize, for now, once they have returned to policing the territory. But Count Grom, only your army wants to be lent to the King's Capital. Me and Rubias aren't the only ones dressed in boulders."

"I understand. Your Highness."

Count Grom bowed his head deeply. To say that his army will enter the king's capital while escorting Prince Magna will show internally and externally that the nobleman closest to Prince Magna is him. Many aristocrats would have lent a hand to the prince, but I guess he was treated as drawing a line with the other aristocrats because he provided both the city where he would be based and the army that would defend him. Perhaps Count Grom will have positions such as title and national key positions in addition to more territory than ever before.

In contrast, the nobles belonging to the Steeds are good and await the confiscation of their property and territory, or, worse still, the severance of their houses and the death penalty. I can only sigh in the dark future while other personnel.

"That's it, then. Prepare yourselves to leave the day after tomorrow."

Oh man...... I thought I could slow down a bit after Gotagota, but it's still going to take awhile. I was thinking about that, nodding to Prince Magna's voice.
