Ninety-eight Tales: Heroes of the Queen

Lucina shook her neck to the side as she laid one hand on the ladder.

"I don't know... what are you talking about...! Explain it properly! What happened in the square!!

Reinforcements are coming.

Galore steps down the ladder to slay the enemy at his feet.

Faster than Lucina eyeing her looming big back, a soldier who was fighting on the next ladder shouted joyfully.

"So you swept away the enemies in the square! Will the Demon King come to defend the stone walls with his companions who were fighting in the square!?

"No, the enemies of the square scattered all over the king's capital. The Demon King behaves differently from me. You won't be here for a while."

From the face of the soldier who was smiling, blood draws at once. But Garrol shook his voice at Lucina as he waved his sword, "It's okay," he said.

"Still, still, don't worry. Behind us now… a cliché… 'miracle' unfolds"

"A miracle?"

"Can't you hear me?"

Lucina looked back and tried to deafen her ears. I didn't realize it because I was in the vortex of the defense of the stone wall, but from within the king's capital, it does convey the voices and signs of countless groups.

Nor is it ten or twenty. A hundred or two hundred people can hear a loud noise from behind the capital.

"Is this...!? Before we started the fight, there were more signs than all the soldiers in Coffin......!

"Dust encircled this king's capital with a magical circle, and bled the earth of the king's capital to do the trick.

Reinforcements emerge from within the capital. Follow the enemies within the stone walls and destroy them all, to this end. A miracle called for by the magic of Dust… the help that was otherwise unwanted will soon come. "

Lucina asked that far and said, "If so!" and stared at Gallol, who held the sword.

"More to the point, get out of the way, Gallo! We have to defend the stone walls with everyone here until reinforcements arrive!

"No, on behalf of Master Lucina"

"Don't be ridiculous! You've come so far..."

"That's why I'm here!

Gallor, crushing the iron mask of a snobber soldier, clenched his teeth as he turned his back on a glistening lukina.

From the meadow, I hear King Separca laughing with his giant sword.

With Galore bathing in blood, no, in a quiet voice, I said.

"Do you want to lead the great army and fight, like King Separca? Do you want to come to war with dignity, boasting of your strength on the front lines, for the sake of the soldiers and the people?

Because he is a king, he fights more valiantly than anyone else... and so was his predecessor, Master Lugassa "

"I am."

"I want you to live. I don't want to keep the royal blood, or I need it for Coffin's future, that's not the reason.

A man named you lives in the post-war world... and that's what I want... our future. "

Galore's words changed the look on the faces of the surrounding coffin soldiers.

Gallol slightly louder to Lucina looking around their backs fighting.

"So to behave in prison, I was honestly angry! I told you your choice was our will, but I didn't know you were going to try to burn your heart! Speaking of too intact......!

"Hey."

"I am your blade! There is no way that the blade will pull the enemy in front of you and behind you! I'll kill the enemy before you! Otherwise this galore has value and more!!

Lucina's weight disappeared from Gallol's standing ladder.

in front of Gallol, who turns all the way around, Lucina flies to the ladder next door, where the elderly minister was up until the moment before.

Lucina clings to the ladder with both hands, then breathes up to the same height as Gallol. Lucina turned to Gallor trying to open her mouth as she urged the other soldiers to spear.

"Garol, you, you like me?

"Ha...?

"No, what?"

Lucina pokes an impending enemy in front of Gallor, who shows a gap for a moment, with an incoming spear.

Lucina coughed her hair up gently to Gallol, who gazed back at the falling snobber soldier.

"If you want to stick around so much beside me or in front of me, I just thought I'd (...) do it to my husband."

"Then, stupid! No! I didn't mean to say no... No, no... do something horrible!

"Well, think about it. When the war is over, you will be a hero of salvation. Few people make a scene with different identities."

As soon as the word hero came out, the expression disappeared from Galore's face. Still turn your attention to the enemy under the wall and shake your head.

"Dear Lucina... Anyway, back off. Here comes the next wave of enemy soldiers."

"Say no."

"Dear Lucina!

"I don't want to be your father or King Separca. They have nothing to do with it. As your current king, I will not allow you to leave this place."

Under the stone wall, when he saw the last soldier fall, Lucina put up a spear and glanced at a new formation coming this way.

"The time has come for soldiers to protect us and skip directives from within the walls. In the former famine I was preached by Dust on my responsibilities as king... but now it is no longer the last time the country itself is about to disappear.

Even the logic I learned then doesn't work. "

Coffin soldiers who had only kept their mouths shut and listened silently. The warriors set up their weapons as they stared at the enemy formation as Lucina did.

Lucina raised her voice sharply to Gallor, who would not even pluck the blood that drooped her chin.

"How can a soldier risk his life when there is no king on the last line of defense protecting the king's capital! Inside the stone walls, we don't even know how the battle went! If you live and die, this Lucina is worthless!!

Lucina shook her fist into the void, the opposite of the hand holding the spear, screaming even more.

"Warrior Captain Galore is the belly of this queen Lucina! As my right-hand man, a rare hero!

……

"Stonewall warriors! You guys make this Lucina's hands and feet again, part of the flesh! Together, it is the 'Sword of Coffin' that is responsible for the destiny of the kingdom!

I'm watching all your fights!! Fight as you wish!!

To the sidelines of the impending snobber soldiers, the men of the stone wall turn their blades, along with the roar of payback to Lucina.

Lucina also looked at Gallol, here, as she put up her spear again. "Do you have a complaint?" Asking her small, Gallol squeezed his sword, as he was ashamed of something.

"... sometime... you seemed to be stronger than me..."

"Don't make jokes. Plus, I'm done with 'me'. I guess that's the 'ground'"

"I was going to protect you. But the truth is, I was better protected. I kept myself because you needed me.

The impudence of not being a hero in this step… I had to be crushed by it… "

"Oh, is that what you meant earlier?... that I wanted you to be 'the best' when I was a kid... do I have to apologize?

"No," Lucina said, shaking her head, loosening the end of her mouth before Gallo, who raised her face, answered.

"I reward you for your strong hard work. But apologizing is misguided, and disrespectful.

Gallo, you're my hero. I'm not lying or flattering. Really, it's a waste of time for me. "

"... Dear Lucina"

"So talk about my son-in-law, think seriously"

In an instant, Gallol pulls his face together and says, "Weren't you kidding!?," he exclaimed, pointing the blade at the enemy.

Lucina laughed high and, with the Gallols, shook her blade down to her crawling enemies.
