Kuro no Senki (LN)
Episode 17: The Showdown, Part 4
"Damn, I knew you'd attack me!
When Roy stepped out of the tent without poking his favorite spear, there was smoke all around him.
The general soldier runs around with a weapon and sounds like a daddy pan from afar.
Each time, the general soldier snaps his neck.
That's just a sound, but those who know nothing will have fear.
If you've heard it over and over again, you should get used to it.
No, I reconsider.
I might get used to the sound itself.
But what about fear?
After the sound stops ringing, will you continue to fear to know nothing?
Not to mention that they showed off all that magic item threat.
No wonder I'm in a suspicious dark spot.
Think that far, shake your head.
Would Chrono think that far?
I didn't think that was likely.
If it works, I might just be harassing him for making money.
But...
"Oh, stop it. Stop it."
Roy scratched my head with me.
I can't be sure of Chrono's sincerity.
We should deal with what is happening now rather than thinking about it.
Symptomatic, maybe, but that's the most certain thing.
Roy headed to the tent for the ops conference.
In the meantime, daddy, the sound of pampering is echoing.
After a while I saw the tent.
"... are you coming already?"
Roy sighed small.
In front of the tent he dressed the same way as during the day - in short, a fully armed Archena stood.
"It's late!
"I was resting."
"And what's that outfit?
Archena stares at me.
Roy looked down at himself.
I'm wearing pants, and I'm wearing a jacket.
I didn't have time, so I'm naked under my jacket...
What kind of uniform is that?
"Aren't you in a constant battlefield mindset?
"Give me some instructions before you denounce my mindset. This is a battlefield."
Roy groaned in a fed up mood.
What Archena wants to claim, well, I know.
I understand, but now we should respond to rebel raids.
"What's the situation?
"We're under ambush from both directions."
"Two sides?
Roy shrugged at the parrot.
Again, the sound of daddy, daddy, pan.
I did hear it earlier from the same direction.
That may mean that the enemy is not cooperating well either.
"What instructions did you give?
"I have instructed you to prepare your troops and pursue them."
Archena said as frustrated.
I know how you feel.
It wouldn't be interesting if Roy, who is only an assistant, checked the situation and instructions.
This guy is this kind of guy.
"I'm on my own."
"Wait. What are you going to do"
"What are you going to fight for?"
"I won't tolerate unsolicited behaviour."
"The situation is moving. We have to deal with this ad hoc."
"... guh"
I'm coming.
Archena moaned at all costs, and Roy walked out in the direction of the flow of smoke.
I guess Archena also knows that she didn't stop because she tried her best.
I know, and it's Archena who tries to follow the rules.
"Hey, I'm going to smash the rebels. Follow me."
"Yes, sir"
Roy proceeded as he spoke to his moving men.
By the time we reached the outer edge of the position, the number was about twenty.
At the outer edge there was a general soldier lined up with shields.
"Endure it until your allies are ready!
One soldier raised his voice and Roy opened his eyes gently.
It was the man entrusted with the construction of the position who raised his voice.
Run over to the man and hide yourself in the shadow of the shield.
"What's the situation?
"- Huh!"
The man glanced at this one in a murderous manner and peeled his eyes slightly.
"What's the situation?
"We are being ambushed by rebels. The number of enemies is about fifty... over there."
That said, the man looked behind his back over his shoulder.
The sound of daddy, daddy, pan sounds from afar.
"Combined with the people who are ambushing us from another direction, there will be about a hundred of us."
"You made sure?
"I'm doing enough to build a network."
You thought you were being ridiculed, the man said like a muck.
"What's the damage?
"Twenty or so of my people were hit in the face of them."
"Twenty?
Roy inquired unexpectedly.
I don't know what to say, but it's a lot less.
"They run away when we chase them. So, if this one leaves, they'll come after us."
It's a nasty opponent, the man told me to throw up.
"Chip, aren't you going to fight properly"
"But this is not how you hide."
"Oh, you can't keep me on track."
If you don't tell them you can make them eat a blow, they'll get on with it.
That would result in more and more bold action.
"Any ideas?
"For once, there is"
"What idea?
When Roy asked, the man opened his eyes unexpectedly.
"You must no longer be able to lure me out." (Grunts)
"It's like collecting tree branches in this gap!
Tyga told him to blur and Aridead gave instructions to his men.
Speaking of greed, I wanted to lure out some more enemy soldiers, but I can't help what I couldn't.
It was originally a thought-provoking action.
So all twenty men were laid down against the enemy.
Chrono won't get angry either.
"Did you get the souvenir?
"There must have been movement in the enemy."
"Mmm, that's like I can't ignore"
Aridead clawed ahead and stared at the enemy formation.
Until now, the enemy soldiers had hidden behind their shields and lined up in a row, but they had also lined up their shields on them.
"What is the purpose? '(huh?
"I don't know, but I kind of have a bad feeling"
Aridead dampened her lips with her tongue.
After a while, I heard the horse hissing.
Could it be that you intend to mount a riding assault?
But Aridead looked over his shoulder.
There are woods spread out there.
If a heavily armed cavalry is your opponent, you are confident you will escape to the woods.
If we don't have all the numbers, we can destroy them.
Mechanical bows have the power to pierce sheet metal armor, as well as engraving.
Despite this, anxiety cannot be wiped.
What are you going to do? '(huh?
……
Aridead thinks silently.
What would Chrono do at a time like this?
The answer came right away.
Chrono would run away without thinking about annihilating the heavily armed cavalry or anything.
"I withdrew - heh!
The moment Aridead opened his mouth to give the order, the shield that was lined up blew up.
It was the horse that blew the shield and showed up.
Not one or two heads.
Twenty horses were quoted less, and so many horses rushed this way.
Sometimes it was before I gave the order, and my men's unleashed arrows shoot through the horse.
Even though I say so, the horse rushes toward us as he raises the earthen smoke.
Aridead is familiar with the character of a horse because he is part of a bow cavalry.
Horses are cowardly creatures.
If you don't train, you panic with loud noises.
The Imperial Army horses are used to loud noises so that doesn't happen.
But can we train them to come straight in even if they are attacked?
"I withdrew... no retreat! It's like pulling the trigger!
Copy that! '(ugh!
"Copy that!"
"Copy that!" (Huh!
When Tyga responded briefly, his men replied as well.
I also thought about turning my back and running away, but bareback horses are bad minutes for the other guy.
They'll catch up before they get to the woods.
It's worse to get stuck in from behind.
The horseshoe sounds and the horse sticks in as he follows the earthen smoke.
I feel nauseated by the tremors coming from the ground.
Even though he wears engraving, he can't overcome his instinctive fears.
But I wonder if that's okay.
Fear is an important emotion.
If you can't detect the danger, you die prematurely.
Aridead pulled the horse to the critical and jumped to the side.
Horses rush ahead of you when you jump.
This draws you to the brink...
"Kuh!
Yet another horse advances.
I should have only had about twenty of them. As I aimed clearly...... ha, I avoid horses thinking about that, like this is what I do everyday.
Horses rush ahead of us avoided.
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Shortly after Aridead twisted and twisted his body, a roar sounded.
Roy runs the battlefield with his favorite spear in his hand.
Of course, running is the lead.
No. 2 of the Legion runs off the lead.
It may seem foolish, but the rebels have killed twenty people.
There is also daylight.
Regardless of the Kingsguard knight, the general soldier is freaking out.
So this is where Roy runs off the lead and the Imperial Army has to show he can fight.
Well, there's also the possibility of a light death and a gutter of morale -.
"Raise your roar, you bastards!
"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!
He is pushed back by a wild roar to speed up.
"... what about the commander? That's him!"
Roy circles his gaze and sets his gaze on the female elf.
A woman with long blonde hair tied to her right, no, should I call her a girl?
No, no, even a girl must be a woman.
To be honest, I don't want to kill a woman, but I can't say whether I like it or not.
This is war.
"That neck, I'll take it!
"- Huh!"
Increase speed even further and stick out the spear with full force.
But the female elf gave Roy a slight blow.
Big leap to the rear. It's impossible to make so many leaps with an Orc.
If there's anyone who can, you're a kamikaze...
"Engraving!
Roy screamed briefly.
The red light was coloring the body of the female elf.
It also looks like barbarian war makeup. It's an engraving - a pattern that supposedly floats when the barbarians integrate with the Spirit.
Why did the elves think of the engraving technique - but if you think about it, Chrono made the barbarians of the Areos Mountains compliment.
No wonder I'm able to apply engraving to my own men.
Roy threw the spear with all his might as he blurred in his heart, sucking up the skill if he had such a convenient technique.
Of course, the aim is a female elf. Sometimes I just landed, or the female elf couldn't react.
Keep the spear going...
"I won't let you! '(ugh!
It was knocked down by a tiger beast man who jumped straight out of the side.
I'm not just an animal man.
The beast man who brought up the red engraving.
Chip, Roy pounded his tongue and kicked up the spear that was falling with his leg.
'I told you I wouldn't let you!' (ugh!
A roar sounds and the tiger beast man accelerates like an unleashed arrow.
But it's faster for Roy to grab the spear.
"Ha!
Spears roll out with the temper of tearing, but the tiger beast man has packed his distance, not with a great sword.
The unfamiliar guy dies in the back, but this guy seems hand-worked.
This guy might make me feel fever.
But I can't just be impressed.
This is a battle for your life.
Roy flips the spear and rolls out a stone poke.
If I were human, I would have been able to smash my throat.
But in front of you is the Beast Man - one that is also enhanced by the power of engraving.
The figure of the Tiger Beast Man scratches out in front of him.
The red residual light is burning in the space.
Stick the spear to the ground reflexively and squeeze it with full force.
The next moment, the shock came through.
It's a terrific, paralyzing shock to the core of your body.
Slightly dropping his gaze, a tiger beast man was crawling to the ground.
So I finally found out that the tiger beast man unleashed the slaughter of the horizontal giraffe from a crawling position.
The engraving shines strong and the Tiger Beast Man wields a great sword along the spear.
Roy took his hand off the spear and jumped back.
The spear explodes in two pieces.
"Chip, don't do it"
Roy kicks up the spear that was falling on his leg and grabs it in the air.
"" "" Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The roar and metal sounds from behind.
I guess the average soldier finally caught up with me.
Roy stared at the Tiger Beast Man as he put up his spear.
The Tiger Beast man sets up a great sword to hide the blade with his own body.
"We'll do it. I'm Roy. Roy Akbens, Commander of the Fourth Kingsguard Knights"
"The Awkward is Wang Gu... Captain Taiga of the Knights of the Thirteenth Kingsguard" (Guru)
Tiger Beast Man - Tyga said proudly.
"What's an emperor?
"The Awkward Men Are Named Imperial Armies" (Guru)
"The Imperial Army? Oh, you mean the Emperor's Army. No, the Empress? Either way, I don't like it."
Roy glanced.
If the rebels name the Imperial Army - the Emperor's Army, this one will inevitably be a bandit.
If Archena hears, she's going to fall.
Aside from that, I guess Tyga's sense of belonging is not in the Imperial Army itself that he deliberately re-mentioned it as the Thirteenth Kingsguard Knights.
I pledge allegiance to the Chrono individual.
The Imperial Army hasn't been able to turn into a single rock either, but the rebels seem to be rebels and all sorts of things.
"So, what are we gonna do?
"The Awkward Are Not Gonna Fight Your Lord"
"Don't say things that don't stick together."
Roy concentrates on sounds that echo from around him as he looks to Tiga.
Metal sounds diminish, and short screams echo between them.
Though he stuck his horse in and confused it, the rebels seem to be recovering.
It would be a difference in level of practice.
The Knights of the Thirteenth Kingsguard have been in action many times.
And...
"I'm a little surprised, but the number of enemies isn't that high! It's like if you fight calmly, you'll be fine!
The female elf slaughters the Imperial soldier with a dagger in her hand as she raised her voice.
Although the skill itself is never high, physical abilities are enhanced by engraving.
General soldiers with all their physical abilities or inferior skills have no hands or feet.
I thought if I knocked this guy down, I could change the flow, but then something came down.
I think it's bad, but I can't afford to look under my feet.
If you do that, Tyga will come at you.
Shortly afterwards, underfoot, no, the sound of daddy pang rang from everywhere.
Your body is stiff to light and sound.
It was a magic item that came down.
"It's cover! Cover me!
Roy saw a little female elf.
The female elf is fighting a general soldier.
Even so, I heard the same voice as the female elf from another direction.
Daddy, daddy, it sounds like a pan...
"Retreat! Retreat! It's like the wounded should never be left behind!
The female elf raised her voice and Tyga ran out with her back to this one.
It was like a move Roy was convinced he wasn't coming after.
"Wait! You rebels!
"You wait."
Roy took control of the general soldier he tried to chase as he sighed.
"But!
"If we accidentally chase him, we'll be devastated."
The rebels are fleeing into remote forests.
I can't make it if I chase him now.
I guess you're setting a trap because you're deliberately fleeing into the woods.
If it's day, it's still night.
You won't be able to see through the existence of the trap.
When I looked over my shoulder, the rebel detachment was also retreating.
Roy took the spear and put his gaze around.
All that is falling is the general soldiers.
As a form, this one will have been unilaterally done.
Either way, victory is victory.
I could also show that being ambushed does not mean being unilaterally hit.
With that in mind, the face I saw approached me.
A man who had entrusted the construction of a field position and lined up his shields to outmaneuver the attack.
"Oh, how are you?"
"Thanks to you for saving me. What's your name?"
"It's Richard. Richard Arklight."
"Does Arklight mean noble?
"Yeah, well, I'm still out of military school. I didn't get very good grades..."
Man - Richard scratched his head in the light.
"I'm too humbled to do poorly"
"I had a really bad grade. It's not good for my boss either."
"I see."
I add in my heart that my boss hates my mouth and sent me to Imperial City.
Either way, it's comforting to have a competent officer.
"But thanks to you, I gave up."
"What do you mean?
"When this battle is over, I'm going back to my parents' house and I'm going to get married"
He said, "Oh, my God."
I don't think it's okay to say this at this time, but sometimes thoughts attract luck.
I'll have to go home alive, then.
"... Yes!
The man nodded forcefully.
"Admiral, the Arideads are back."
"I'm going now"
Called by his deputy, Krono went out of the tent.
Tilting his gaze, a chair was placed near Tilia's tent.
The three Aridead, Deneb and Taiga were poking one knee near the chair.
Behind it, moreover, there is an imperial soldier and a human being.
Tied in the back hand, surrounded by Imperial soldiers.
Nevertheless...
"What about that one?
What's that? '(Bubba?
"Because the Arideads are kneeling in front of the chair."
"That's a performance."
"... performances"
Chrono shrugged as he held Komikami down.
I think I heard it somewhere...
"It was an idea from my grandparents. The prostitutes are full of amateurs, so it seems logical that they need a play. '
"'Cause I only teach you what you need."
Chrono squeaked smudgingly.
Prioritize what you need for a prostitute - sounds good if you say so, but I only teach you the minimum you need.
Little has been taught about how to behave as a soldier.
"At the corner, I subordinated the traveler, so I should have told you in a dramatic fashion."
"I can't deny the late timing, but it's a good idea."
"Let's do it if we have the next one"
I don't want things like this to happen again, but this isn't a bad story if you think it's part of the communication.
Chrono headed under the Arideads.
Slightly late comes the deputy.
Is this also part of the play?
"Good luck"
"Master Chrono seems healthy and above all,"
Sit in the chair thinking it might be a candidate mistake.
Aridead, report.
"Ha!
Aridead responded briefly and began to explain his history.
"Though ten people were injured for saying…, it seems like they have succeeded in harassing and securing prisoners"
"Like"
"It's" (Guru)
When Aridead finished his explanation on behalf, Deneb and Tyga continued.
"What about the wounded?
"According to the field hospital teacher, it's like a minor injury."
"... right"
Chrono poked his cheek cane in support of his elbow hanging.
The soldiers I have deposited with Aridead have been my men since the time the Kingdom of Holy Argo invaded the Marquis of Elakis territory - the oldest soldiers.
I'd like to get back to it as soon as I can.
"All right, let's get the injured ten to focus on treatment"
Are you sure? '(Bubba?
Krono looked up at the deputy standing next door.
"Because you're an important man. I'm sorry."
"I understand. Easy to pull out of the soldiers in charge of the trenches' (Buku)
"Boulder, Mr. Minot. You understand."
"We've known each other a long time, so it's easy to understand."
The deputy said to exhale.
"Replenishing soldiers means you can think of night raids as a continuation? '(Bubba?
"Of course."
"Easy to understand."
It's not a bad thing to check just in case.
I hope the prostitutes see it properly.
"With that said, Taiga"
"What is it? '(huh?
"I was talking about fighting Lord Roy, but how do you feel about matching up?
"That's a pretty hard question." (Grunts)
Tyga told him to groan.
"It's only a personal feeling, but what seems fearless or rough tone is someone who makes you feel calm on the back."
"... I see"
"It's Only Personal Feedback" (Ur)
When Chrono nodded, Tyga told him to push just in case.
I will refrain from going into the mail show because it doesn't seem to make sense.
"... I'm not surprised."
Chrono remembers how Roy fought when he saw him in the arena.
He reigned in the arena as an absolute king, but that's not the only reason for the strength of his arm.
Because he was picking up audience reactions and cheering up with kittens where they would cheer up.
If I recall carefully, I was trying to create a critical battle, but I never had a reckless way of fighting.
"... I see"
Krono shrugged again.
"Is it Lord Roy's strategy to make the horse stick in?
"That's indescribable."
"Well, I can't help thinking about it"
Well, and Chrono shifted his gaze to the prisoner.
Then Aridead and Deneb moved to the right and Tyga to the left.
"Move on! '(ugh!
Driven by soldiers of the Imperial Army, Imperial Army soldiers - prisoners step forward.
"I'd like to ask you about the Imperial Army, but can you tell me the Legion Leader first? Well, it's so easy..."
"The Legion Leader is Lord Archena Dios of the Knights of the Third Kingsguard and his assistant is Lord Roy Akbens of the Knights of the Fourth Kingsguard. The legion consists of 2,000 Kingsguard Knights, 20,000 general soldiers and 10,000 mercenaries hired by the Bowties Treasurer."
The prisoner blocked Chrono's words and began to talk to Perapella.
Unexpectedly sees the prisoner.
"Why was the Imperial Army clustered in building the position?
"I'm not sure, but I heard rumors Lord Archena ordered me to start over"
"... I see"
Don't talk about internal circumstances so easily, Krono penetrated into his mind.
I meant to, but I guess it was on my face.
The prisoner snorted like a mockery.
"I... don't want to die in this fight"
"A soldier of the Imperial Army."
"I didn't like being a soldier."
The prisoner said as muddled.
"What's your response to the southern border?
"I heard you sent 10,000 soldiers."
"How's the Imperial City?
"It sounds terrible. Insecurity is poor, and the price of things is particularly high. I thought I'd buy a woman a souvenir... but I can't buy anything."
Uh-huh, and Chrono roared.
Wouldn't it be enough of a crisis to come to war and try to buy souvenirs for your lover?
"The truth?
"I didn't throw up"
I can't be sure if I'm telling the truth because there's only one prisoner.
Chrono changed his arm and poked his cheek wand.
"Do you want to be tortured for a moment?
"Don't kid me!
"Grow up! '(ugh!
The next moment the prisoner embarked on himself, the Imperial Army soldiers held him back.
"Let's start with the pinky."
"Don't be ridiculous!
"... Mr. Minot"
"Easy to understand."
"Princess Tilia is here!
"My head's high! Don't lay low!
The next moment the deputy stepped out, the voices of Manchausen and Alonso echoed.
Chrono rose from his chair and looked at the tent.
As Tilia got out of the tent, Manchausen and Alonso led her closer to us.
Tilia wears a white robe and wears a hood deep in her eyes. Only the hands and mouth are dewy.
"Come on in."
"Dirty chair, but have a seat"
……
Tilia sat quietly in the chair.
"Empress Tilia is heartbroken that Nong and the others are fighting, and she is in mourning!
"Oh, how sweet of you!
Manchausen and Alonso said with tears in their eyes.
Tilia makes a call to Manchausen.
"What is it?
……
As Manchausen leaned his ear against his mouth, Tilia shrugged blushing.
"Boulder, not the Empress Tilia!
"What's going on?
"Empress Tilia does not like the blood of her subjects to flow. I said let him go."
When Chrono asked, Manchausen shouted with an excited face.
"Huh? There's a wounded man out there, and there's no reason to let him go!
"Oh, it's tyranny! Tyranny!
"Will you shut up!
"" Yes ""
When Manchausen had a drink, Aridead and Deneb silenced.
"With all due respect, Empress Tyria. We've done a lot of damage."
"Marquis Elakis! How dare you take Princess Tilia's orders!
"... I get it."
Manchausen raised his voice and Chrono nodded.
"However, liberation dawns and blindfolds because they don't want extra information to be known until then. I want you to swallow this condition."
……
When Chrono presented the compromise, Tilia nodded and got her hands on Robe's.
What I took out was carefully folded paper.
……
"Hey, what is it?
Tilia invites, and now Alonso has an ear to his mouth.
"Ha! I got it!
When Alonso received the paper from Tilia, he walked over to the prisoner.
Kneel, stick paper in your nose.
"What's this?
"Give it to Baron Bowties. If you say you received it from the Empress Tilia, you will understand."
Alonso explained to the prisoner in a quick tone.
"That sort of thing..."
"No!
As Chrono walked over, Alonso flashed his arm as if to keep him away.
"We don't have any information that would put us at a disadvantage, do we?
……
Tilia nodded quietly at Chrono's inquiry.
I just had to admit I've been told so far.
"Mr. Minot, I'll take care of the rest."
"Hey, it's easy to understand."
Chrono turned to his tent.
