The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Magua Avenue, almost halfway between Fort Pere and Castel Creniere.

Damn it!

It was out of the blue in my voice. Krenière's knight Defan had put his armor together and was sticking his kite shield forward.

It is in the middle of the street. On the left and right there is the Magua Forest, and from the direction leading to Fort Pere comes the heterogeneous soldiers with their blue gear.

These are the 'enemies'.

It's a mixed unit of warriors with dokuro faces and warriors who are human but look like buckets of Tsugihagi.

That number, 20, 30, no, there was more.

Defan is in the position of a hundred men. He was ordered to direct and protect the evacuation of the people who had taken refuge near Fort Pere this time.

On that return, he was pursued by the 'enemy'. The main force of the convoy we sent out as the first wave was definitely wiped out if we look at the current situation, where the enemy is imminent.

The remaining escorts are seventeen. Five of them were put under the protection of the evacuees under the command of Miss Eckleen, daughter of the Marquis of Creniere.

Defan, along with the remaining ten, remained in the ranks of the Imperial Army.

I left...

"You don't have warriors!?

The response was a red magic bullet. By the enemy's projectile weapon, half were quickly defeated. What is common to those who were helped is that they had metal shields. That barely prevented the enemy from attacking.

But now that it had been reduced to a few, it was impossible to hold back the dozens of enemies that were pushing at us.

"Our proud Knight of Kreniere!

Put up a broadsword, and Defan screamed.

"You buggers! I'm not going through here!"

At the next moment, enemy bullets pierced the shield they were erecting. Hot so my chest can burn. Seeing, the shield was even pierced with gray metal armor.

"... buckets, people, meh..."

Imminent enemy soldiers. Without seeing the glow of the sword it shook up to the end, Defan's consciousness was interrupted.

Asylum-seekers walk slowly.

Even when they heard the enemy was imminent, the footsteps of those who went down the streets were as dull as turtles. Eckleen Cleniere, who spanned the horses and took over command from Captain Defan, turned her gaze to the rear.

Carriage, no, if it's also a carriage......! If you could have put on the weak of your ankles......

No sign of the enemy yet. But Captain Defan and the others will have little time to stop.

Many of the refugees were children, old people and women. Approximately 100 people. The man who can fight is already conscripted by the defense or remains to let his family escape in the midst of evacuation and is not already in the world.

- Now it's our turn...

The next time an enemy appears, only six of them must be prevented. Still won't even buy you time.

Probably dies here. I graduated from the School of Magic Knights and this year it is a shame to say that marriage is withheld.... Speaking of which, I never saw my fiancée's face after all.

A grin spilled that included self-derision.

If this were the case, I wouldn't have volunteered for a convoy or something, squeaking in my heart. But it is nevertheless necessary to do more than be a member of the Knight of Creniere and also a daughter of nobility.

Knobless Oblige.

That's when the magical knight on the horse - Tedio, the school's sync, came.

"Ma'am, it's an enemy!

"You're already here..."

Finally, the time has come to be ready. My mouth is thirsty for karakara. I also felt my heart beat faster under my armor.

Yeah, I'm scared. The footsteps of a single imminent death.

"This is ridiculous."

"Lady...?

"'Cause you do, don't you? There are only six of us, even though we still have half to go to the castle. No matter how hard you try, you can't save the refugees. But still we must remain on our feet as shields."

What is it that you don't call this a waste of your life? Complete annihilation is confirmed as it is.

"Still..."

I saw Ecklene's face as Tedio strengthens her face.

"We are magical knights."

Fighting to protect the people is the real deal.

- Oh, this weak kid somewhere, he's starting to look like a Han too.

Eckleen grinned lightly at the knight in his contemporaries in front of him. He may be the type to exert his power in the earthen pit.

On the other hand, I think I was right to hold him, I felt responsible for getting him involved in such a fight. If I hadn't picked him up, I wouldn't have even died here, he said.

He will surely be a better magic knight than anyone else. There must have been a magic knight in his clan.

"Your grandfather was a fine magical knight."

"That's what I hear. He's my proud grandfather."

"Okay, let's go!

"Yes, ma'am!

Horseback riding runs to the rear of the evacuees. One of them is at the beginning of the line as the lead, but everyone gathered except that.

One of my men, a knight named Riker, opened his mouth.

"Ma'am, I can finally see the enemy!

Zorro Zorro and a group of enemies are going down the street. Could it be about five or sixty?

"Do you use being a cavalry to storm? It's only five horsemen, so you don't have to worry about the road width."

"We have to buy time."

I know the enemy has a powerful magic weapon. They'll be hit before they get there, such as an assault of just about five horsemen.

"All, lower horse combat. Using horses as shields, they form shield walls behind them. We will slash the enemy as they approach!

There's nothing you can do if you pack the distance first. But the shootout was overwhelmingly unfavourable. I feel sorry for having to shield my horse.

- Heh heh, you just apologized earlier, I...

If you're limited to the task, you haven't failed one thing. I resent the things I have to protect, the things that protect me, the circumstances in which I have to sacrifice them all.

- I wonder if this kind of thing is unreasonable.
