At that time, in a defensive position in the north, Narsson was crossing the rata and staring at the front line, which was a picture of hell.

An allied heavily armed infantry unit is leaving the position and advancing into a white battle with a spear in its hand.

Orange fires were rising everywhere, filling the area with a lot of black smoke.

The wind direction is the following wind, and the enemy soldiers coming from behind appear to be covered in smoke.

Over the heads of allied infantry, countless flares of fire are pouring on the enemy.

In addition, countless scorpions set up in allied positions were shooting indiscriminately at the heart of enemy forces.

"This is Narson. Notify the Kataparte unit. Fire the flame shells as far away as possible, at even intervals. Block the center and front of the enemy. How many bullets? Here you go."

Narson pushes the transmit button on the radio and speaks calmly.

Kataparte unit, copy. There are six bullets left in each squad. Go ahead.

"Three more shots. Then switch to a stone bullet and aim for the rear of the enemy front. Here you go."

Got it.

"Cannon unit, we still have a lot of enemy baristas left. Is it hard to destroy? Here you go."

This is a cannon unit. The enemy's moving barrier is in the way, making it difficult to deliver effective ammunition. Go ahead.

The Barber army's baristas are firing backup fire from behind, causing less damage to our front-line units.

However, reloading seemed to take time, with shots fired every few minutes.

I was trying to destroy it with cannon fire, but the barista was shooting from the clearance of the moving barrier, so I couldn't destroy it as I expected.

"Got it. Abort shooting for now. Wait for the Catapults to attack, and shoot when enemy units come to the front from an unburned area. It is not random shooting, but any shooting by each squad. Go ahead.

Roger, I'll shoot individually.

"This is King's Capital 2nd Regiment Saccord. The enemy forces in the middle are beginning to collapse. Ask for permission to chase by raid. Go ahead.

Narson looks at the central front of his army on the radio from Saccord.

The enemy was gradually starting to retreat, and we were clearly pushing.

Saccord's Long Spear Troops are knocking their enemies apart in an undisturbed motion, but despite the Long Spear Troops fighting, the Crossbow soldiers just behind them somehow shot an arrow at the enemy's front row.

The enemy avant-garde was unable to cope with the spear and arrows from close range, and the casualties appeared to be spiralling with great momentum.

What is that, and Narsson points to Night Vision Scope.

The crossbow soldiers behind the spear soldiers appeared to be shooting from high ground on their fellow laps.

It is a form of "cactus" seen at sports events in Japan where the person on the knee supports and fixes both knees with both hands.

One person on his lap supports and assists him from the front, and one person loads and passes the loaded crossbow to the other soldier who is shooting.

When tired, it appears to be shifting positions and shooting efficiently.

"Hmm. Is there such a strategy? It's hard to do, Satchi."

Narson snapped impressed and pressed the transmit button on the radio.

"This is Narsson. The third flamethrower has landed and will launch a total strike. Maintain the status quo. I'll give you the assault instructions. Here you go."

Understood, it was a snowflake 11 years ago. Let's kill them all!

This is Clairatz First Army. Carnelian has suggested a flanking attack by a light infantry. Go ahead.

"This is Narson. Maintain the status quo now... No, a large army of enemy cavalry is approaching to your right. Tell them to prepare for it. Here you go."

Roger!

Narson gives instructions to troops everywhere.

The entire battlefield is visible from Narsson's position on the hill, and the radio gives us precise instructions without a time lag.

Judging from the Barber army, no matter how they attack, the Arcadian army will not react immediately and show any gaps at all, so they don't know what it means.

Master Narsson! Master Zirconia has returned to the fort!

A message ran across Rata to Narsson, who was in command.

Narsson has just received a radio call from Ichiyoshi, so we know Zirconia is safe.

"Hmm. Did Jill and the others take their heads back?

Narson dares to ask for information he already knows.

"Yes, one of us had it."

I see. As planned, they took down the enemy generals who were still in the regiment fortress. "

Narson said that the message and the soldiers around him gave out a mixed voice of surprise and joy.

In fact, the ambush on the Corps Fortress was an arbitrary attack by Zirconia.

However, Narson decided to communicate it to his allies as a top-secret ambush by Zirconia-led elites.

It is very bad to hear that Zirconia has engaged in dictatorship with a personal grudge during the duel against Barber.

"Did Jill return to his army?

"That's why I'm so tired. I think I can go back to my dorm and rest."

"... I see. Tell Jill's army what I just said. Soon the Commander will be a Shadow Warrior and the soldiers will be confused. Keep McGregor in command."

"Got it!

The telegram replied energetically, kicking Rata's stomach out.

At that time, fire bombs fired from allied positions drew an orange arc in the night sky, landing one after the other behind enemy vanguard units.

Boom, a loud firehand rises, and the flaming enemy soldiers scream and roll around the ground.

After a beat, the sound of the armored arrow sounded three times from the enemy's side and kept standing.

Mmm, that's exactly what you're going to do.

Enemy front-line units are turning their backs on us and fleeing in a hurry.

The enemy Command must have issued an order to evacuate if they lost their escape.

Narson was relieved and pressed the Transmit button on the radio.

"Notify the front-line units. It appears that the enemy forces have begun to retreat. Kill as many enemies as you can chase them to their burning positions. But don't go too far. Here you go."

As soon as Narsson took his hand off the submit button, he received several replies acknowledging.

Friendly front-line units shout at each other and start raiding fleeing hostiles.

A loud cheer echoed to the battlefield from the allies in the position.

In a dimly lit room with candles from a wall candlestick, Lise sat on the sofa alongside Zirconia.

Zirconia has been trembling and sobbing for a long time now, and Lize is holding her hand and snugly leaning against her.

There is intermittent cannon fire from the outside, and the fighting seems to be continuing.

--I can't believe my mother is so exhausted...

Lizzie looks worriedly at her weak mother, whom she has never seen before.

I had forgiven Zirconia for crying in the conference room of the fort the other day, but she looked much weaker than she was then.

Holding back the desire to hear what happened, Lizzie simply leans silently against her mother.

After a while, Zirconia stopped crying and sighed.

"... I'm sorry. Show me your pathetic face. It's okay now."

Zirconia raised her face and smiled slightly at Lize.

"Narson's waiting. We have to go back."

"No, I'm fine. I wirelessly contacted your father."

Lize smiles gently.

"I'll always be there. Rest well today."

"... thank you. You're such a sweet girl."

Zirconia strokes Lise's head.

I met his granddaughter at Marquez's.

"My granddaughter...?

"Yeah."

Zirconia nods to Lise as she answers.

"He told me. It's just one grandson. Please don't kill me."

……

"The people who killed my family were going to find all his family and friends and kill them all. He said he would definitely see me the same way. Otherwise, it would be unfair."

Zirconia drops her eyes on the hand of Lise, who is holding her hand.

"But, that girl, she pointed her sword at me to help Marquez, who was about to be killed by me. I looked like my old self, and I couldn't help but feel like killing him. I thought I'd miss it then. But...."

Zirconia clogs his words and bites his back teeth.

I put it for a few seconds and opened my mouth again.

"That girl... I wonder if she said Asha. He shouted to me to kill Marquez and leave," I will kill you one day. "So," Oh, I see. This girl is going to be like me. If you miss it, it's going to be terrible. "So....."

"Mother....."

Reese gripped Zirconia's hand with sad eyes.

Zirconia softly gripped back the hand.

"I won't let anybody touch my family again. My judgment wasn't wrong."

Zirconia sees Lise.

"I'm fine now. Lise, go back to Narsson first. I'll be there as soon as I get some rest."

"But...."

Zirconia gently strokes her worried head.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it."

"... yes"

Lise nodded and stood up.

He walked a few steps and looked back at Zirconia.

"Um...."

What?

Zirconia tilts her head with a smile at Lize, who looks a little lost.

"Shall I... call Kazura? Outside the door... I think I'm waiting..."

Last but not least, Zirconia's face looks neat on Lise's fading voice.

And soon, I smiled bitterly.

"Yeah, it's okay. I'm fine by myself."

"Yes, yes."

Liz nodded and quietly left the room.

"... hah"

Zirconia leaves her back on the sofa and closes her eyes.

I didn't think Lizzie would say that.

By that time, it seemed like Lise trusted her best.

--I wonder if Kazura-san was really angry.

I think about it blurrily.

Habel said he was furious, so I'm sure he is.

--But I'm glad.

I remember every word Ichira said to me.

When I think of the time when you said, "It's been a long time," I started to cry a little.

"... you can try harder and finish it."

Say it to yourself and wipe away your tears.

The sounds of occasional cannon fire stopped sometime, and the battle apparently came to a standstill.

Zirconia stood up and walked towards the door with a firm foothold.
