The Branded Female Fencer
City of Pleasure, Part 236 - Battle of Tarram
"More so the Red Knights. It's often said that the Red Knights' Red is the blood of the enemy."
"The little Red Knight blew me away with one blow. That's not human business."
"You're a Mercury. When I signed up for the guild, it was no good. So, you've been a mercenary for over 20 years, but... how old the hell is he? You got a baby face."
"You better figure out how to get rid of it than that. Can't you handle it with your flames?"
"I can't spit flames while running at this speed. I can't let go of my braces while I use my lungs to run. You do too, don't you?
"Yes, I am."
"Then we'll have to run and pull it apart. I can shake it off because I'm still speeding, but maybe you can't. No matter how powerful Porch's legs are, the Red Knights are persistent, aren't they? It's time to plug into the north street, so the road narrows down in the woods on the left and right, but the flat road continues all the way. Horses don't slow down."
"And I think it's the shallowness of Gunz. Porch, do it."
Porch howled as he reacted to Dogra's voice. Then the forest that was spreading in front of him swayed, and the herd of oaks leaped out with the cry. The orcs hogged like a state of battle, passing next to Cerberus and Gunz.
"Down on the ground! When were you prepared?
"From the beginning. Seems like a decision was made to withdraw. Don't worry if you're ready."
"Ha, you're going to say something like your general!
"It's about 500, but I think it's best to stop. Run away in the meantime."
Cerberus's outlook is roughly correct. No matter how many cavalry we have, we can't move forward like stepping down a bunch of orcs. But Mercury wasn't the only one. Seeing a bunch of orcs suddenly appeared, rather only Mercreed was accelerating.
"Let's do it, Diodyne!
"Bluh-oh!"
Mercred's running horse roared like a beast. Accelerating with tremendous momentum at the same time, he rammed straight into the herd of oaks. Mercreed shook his spear and shook it down in one piece. Moment after moment, the orcs illusion as if Mercred, who is supposed to be a small soldier, had become huge.
By the time I realized it was an illusion, the orcs' necks were already dancing in the universe. Mercred's spear was flying nearly 10 oaks in the neck with a single blow. Whenever a Mercred spear is waved, it sounds like a roaring wind. The way that the oak is pounded up and thrown into the universe is exactly the time of the gods. What is even scarier is that even Diodyne hits the oak. Of course you're stomping your head off, your horse is chewing up the oak's head. There was a madness in Diodyne that could not be described solely by the word ferocity, although the size of a horse outweighed even the oak.
The Red Knights thrill at Mercury's onslaught, knocking down the oak and advancing. Mercred was brilliant, even frightening of the stiff oak, but still didn't get to the point where the Red Knights swallowed the oak herd for a breath.
"You guys sweep the oak before you follow me! I'm going after the enemy general!
"Good luck!
My men thought the opportunity should not be missed, and they covered the breakthrough in Mercredo. It was thanks to this that Mercreed broke through the herd of oaks with little slowing down. This was just as unexpected as Cerberus.
"What!? There's more to it than just interrogation!
"You're certainly not kidding. Even now that I'm supposed to be this body and overwhelmingly strong, I can't stop shivering. That's the monster.
Hey, look, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna get away with this at full speed, okay? I don't think I can beat that one. "
"No, wait. I have another idea. Maybe we can get away with it more than we can speed up."
"Ho? What kind of idea is that?
Cerberus and Gunz are talking about something. Mercred chasing from behind, but I don't even know what the conversation is about.
"What are you up to...?
"Is that the captain of the Karatzel cavalry?
All of a sudden he was talked from the side and Merkleed almost speared out in surprise. Though he watched forward, he is unconscious that he is caught up with horses and unaware. A green-haired woman on a white horse rides. I saw it in the distance, it would definitely be the woman at the head of the guys chasing it from the rear. Even though Diodyne is inferior to the horses of the Blue Knights only at the highest speed, it is a famous horse competing for one or two of the Carazel Cavalry if it combines endurance. What a horse with legs to catch up with already. Besides, my body is barely even sweating, and foot judgment travels quietly so as not to strain the rider with grace. Mixed with the pure white of the body, it was even art.
Though I thought it was out of place, my accidental praise came out with Mercred's mouth.
"A brilliant horse. The riders are great too. How'd you catch up to me?
"The herd of oaks bypassed. We can't catch up when we're fighting. It's bad for my men, but I can't keep up with the highest speed of this sylphide. I couldn't help but leave."
"Do you want to bypass that herd and catch up? I'd like to run away without thinking about it."
"Is that dictation?
"Say stupid. I'm not old enough to dictate a young woman like you. And that's not the point."
Cerberus and Gunz suddenly burst into the woods in front of us. Gunz's lower body looked like he was returning from a horse to a human. Well, Merkleed struck his tongue wondering if he had such a hand.
