Only one, the platoon leader who's coming after us.
There are two types of Imperial soldiers armed, bows and swords or spears alone? This platoon leader is a bow and sword type.
The bow was prevented first, so I guess he's willing to pack the distance and attack us with his sword.
Distances from each other shrink with giddy. Long spears are a long way from getting there.
Mr. Rhina also has a sword, but it would be more advantageous to attack him from behind in a postural manner. Is it the horse or me that gets slaughtered first?
Either way, it's not very nice.
If I could use a bow, I could intercept it, but unfortunately I don't know how to handle it, and I don't have a bow and arrow in the first place.
For now, I've warmed up the contents of my wallet, and now I'll throw it for a direct hit, but it's from a swinging horse, so it doesn't work at all, and even if it hits it in the first place, it's not very damaging.
I'll explore your pockets to see if there's anything else, but all that came out was the paper and pen you use for your notes.
You wouldn't hit me where I tried throwing a pen like a dart, and it's not paper............ Hmm? Paper......
Fold the paper in two and triangulate it as a centerline in order to try the thought that came to mind a little bit.
Mr. Lena's specialty paper was moderately stiff and easy to fold and quickly took the form of an airplane. Kids play, it's origami paper coffee.
There's no such thing as origami because paper is a luxury product in this world, and planes don't exist.
Even this kind of thing is supposed to be a completely unknown object.
I raise my voice and intimidate the platoon leader.
"The Imperial Soldier there! I am Yoji, the supreme magician in the Kingdom of Markham! It's a waste of your time, but I'll show you my magic specially!
I'm most embarrassed to say it, and it's super appropriate that I just changed my name to Yoichi.
I can't help but think my sister sounds like it, but I can't be selfish at this point.
I haven't seen it yet, but there seems to be magic in this world. Tension runs on the platoon leader's face.
"O white fairy who carries death to those he touches! Answer my voice!
That's what I scream for, and I throw a paper hickey hump.
Unlike normal throws (stunning) that draw parabolas, unfamiliar objects fly in fuzzy and floating unfamiliar movements.
It's natural for humans to be alert to what they see for the first time, and it must have had my deceptive effect. The platoon captain hastily pulled the horse's reins and twisted his body to the best of his ability to avoid paper coffee, causing him to fall by the side of the road.
... I honestly didn't expect to succeed, but it seemed to have had an unexpected effect.
You're gonna try.
The platoon leader's appearance keeps leaving on the other side, and the sand smoke coming after him is pretty far away.
I think this has earned me a lot of time.
Unlike cars and motorcycles, horses are creatures, so I have to give them regular breaks to drink water.
And from what I saw, the Imperial soldiers didn't have spare horses.
We've lost our spare horses, too, but I think it's bigger over there with armed soldiers on board, in terms of horse fatigue.
The sand smoke that was visible on the other side decreases, making sure the Imperial soldiers take a break, and we find a creek to stop, too, to rest the horses.
Horseback riding uses a lot of strength, so besides horses, it should also be a human break, but Mr. Rhina speaks to the horse drinking water without trying to rest, rubbing his horse's feet with a simple brush bound with grass, and giving him a massage.
I guess I should help too, but my whole body hurts, so I can only be rolling on the grass.
My sister was just as hard, too, and when she lay down to come next to me and lean in, she immediately started to get some sleep.
I appreciate you not chilling the embarrassing little play you did to your squad leader, but on the contrary, that means you can't even afford that.
I'm sorry I can't help you...... when I was sending my gaze to Rhina, she looked up and smiled softly at me as she noticed it.
What a man with a liver in this situation.
We gave Rhina a strong sense of security in her smile, and after about half an hour off, we drank water, and she became the one on the horse again.
I called out to my sister to see if she was okay, but a powerful reply came back: 'I'm fine, thank you brother'. This sister is probably dying too...
I know the enemy only comes from behind on the main road, so it's easy to be alert and my sister's danger detection, but I feel really sudden (let) because I'm being chased.
Be alert to smoke and look back sometimes. When I saw someone working in the field, or in a village on the way, I said, 'Idra, the Imperial Army is attacking us!' He shouted and made a sudden announcement, while even going for the Wang Capital.
I don't know how effective the warning is, but this is like my rest of the day already.
If you believe me, there are things you can do in a few dozen minutes.
Rhina spoke as she ran her horse, only slightly relieving her nervousness due to her distance from the Imperial Army.
"Yoichi, how did you bring down the enemy soldiers earlier? They said it was magic..."
"Oh, oh... you know..."
It still seems destined to be penetrated.
"That's not magic or anything, it's a toy of a child that was in my village of birth...... or play. I didn't see it this way, so I thought I could use it to threaten you. You can call it magic."
"Really? If it's unusual, tell Eina next time. She loves rare things."
"Yes, if we can rendezvous safely, in time"
Mr. Eina, would you be interested in paper coffee?
Unlike hot air balloons, planes don't seem to be able to reproduce in this world at all... would that be a reference for gliders or something?
Well, in any case, after we've successfully overcome the crisis we're facing.
The area is gradually getting darker, but it slows down at night and keeps running.
If I had a spare horse, I would alternate with a horse who hasn't drained his strength due to an empty load, but he went somewhere with the medication the pharmacist gave him. So go ahead and watch the horse for more breaks.
So before sundown the next day, we safely returned to where we could see the city walls of Wang Du.
That's just the horse Rhina chose, and they both endured the harsh itinerary really well.
I also owe it to Rhina for continuing to take care of the horse without taking a break.
My sister worked hard too. I... I want you to take a big look because I worked for a little while.
Anyway, the Death Line was a success.
All we have to do later is rendezvous with Eina and do everything we can to get rid of the enemy army as soon as possible...
