"Behind us are all the non-combatants who fled King's Landing. I have no will to resist, and I don't have the skill to fight. If you..."
A foreign object jumps into Minerva's sight, calling out to the Imperial soldiers.
Behind the line of Imperial soldiers hiding, there was a swaying stain rising on the hot road.
From experience, Minerva warns her surroundings of what it brings.
"Something's coming!
"Spread out!
Moore reacts quickly to Minerva's words.
Of course, Minerva herself can't help but wonder.
As he manipulated the rope and managed to move the horse, a fireball appeared over the Imperial soldier's head to swap in.
High-speed fireballs burst into the ground.
The heat from the air hit Minerva's skin and the shock staggered her body.
"Coming up next!
With Moore's voice in front of him, an arrow was fired from a group of Imperial soldiers into the mountains.
Minerva immediately runs his horse and avoids being targeted.
Moore lined up to defend the side.
"You're not going to catch me from the beginning!
Moore is right.
Rather than negotiating, they don't even listen to us.
In addition, if they respond with magic and arrows, it will be clear that their purpose is not to capture Minerva, but to crush him.
"I didn't expect you to chase the sorcerer! These Empires, they're a little lazy on the shoulders!
Moore blurred as he swore off the flying arrows.
Indeed, the presence of the sorcerer was unexpected.
As the kingdom is, an army sorcerer would be a valuable asset to the Empire.
Moore wasn't expecting it to come in pursuit of these evacuees.
"Well, unless you were after the lady from the beginning!
There are never many arrows coming from the Imperial Army.
Not all archers will be able to accurately target moving horses.
But the problem is the magician's attack magic.
As long as we have visual acuity, magic can aim more accurately than bows and arrows.
"Miss, this is terrible."
"That's right. I didn't think a magician would come out."
"We must leave immediately."
"That's...."
When Moore suggested a change of course to the unexpected, and Minerva showed some difficulty with it, a portion of the ground on the path collapsed unexpectedly.
It must be the magic of an enemy magician.
Ah!
In contrast to Moore, who quickly manipulated the horse to avoid it, Minerva kept the horse running.
"Lady!
While Moore's voice echoed, Minerva's vision spinned.
The next moment, a strong shock to the shoulder.
You can't even breathe temporarily because your back, hips, and feet are hitting the ground one after the other.
"Oh, my God!
I can finally catch up with the understanding that I fell down, but that also means that I was in the worst possible situation.
I whipped my painful body and tried to get up, but my arms and legs didn't listen to me.
The appearance of the Imperial Soldiers quickly filling the distance is visible.
The sound of a hoof breaking into it.
"Hang on, lady!
Moore rushed over to protect Minerva and took his hand off the horse.
However, the body that had finally been able to breathe was as dull as carrying a heavy stone against Minerva's will and was unable to take his hand.
"Captain, where's the lady!?
Until then, the other three horsemen scattered around to stir up the Imperial soldiers.
"You won't be able to pull the strings. It's impossible to put someone on a horse and make a breakthrough."
Moore looked around at the Imperial Soldiers surrounding him in a despicable way.
The five Minervas were already surrounded by Imperial soldiers.
Shit, you're surrounded.
Moore and the others descend with their tongues shut.
I lost my riding advantage with my legs stopped.
With Minerva in the center and each other's backs facing each other, Moore and his men stare at the Imperial soldiers.
"Look, if there's a gap, take down the cavalry horses and the sorcerer."
Moore snapped with a small voice that only Bosley and his friends could hear.
"I understand."
"You can't be a magician, can you?
"Just come out front and do whatever you want."
Moore asks Minerva when he receives a reply from the three of them.
"Miss, do you think you can run?
"... your feet don't hurt that much. Maybe we can run."
Minerva finally regained her bodily freedom and replied with confidence.
The pain on the shoulder is still strong, but the symptoms have gradually healed.
I'm glad I didn't hurt my leg.
"When we break through, we'll head north. Rest until then."
"No... I can fight too."
"Please don't make it impossible. If the lady's feet stop, it's over there. There's a numbness."
Minervas need a conversation to get to know each other, but not the Imperial soldiers.
The Imperial soldiers, completely surrounded by five men, attacked each other with their weapons.
Moore and the others take the sword and intercept it.
The difference in the number of people is 100 to five.
However, no matter how much we encircle, we can't kill a hundred people at the same time.
At most, Moore and the others who were behind each other were dealing with two or three people at the same time.
Of course, it would have taken a lot of skill to fight multiple humans, but the Moors here are the best of the Duke's guards.
If you're not worried about the back, you won't be left behind by one soldier.
"Endori, how many are there now?!
One of the guards knocks down the Imperial soldier's spear and asks a colleague next door.
"Now the second!
A man named Endori shoved his sword at his will and pushed the Imperial Soldier into his shield.
A broken soldier's neck was stabbed once with a sword tip, causing a second victim.
"We're still together!
"Shut up!
"You guys are fine!
Dodge the Spear of the Imperial Soldier that Moore attacked, whilst pleasantly calling out to each other's vicious men.
"What kind of captain is that?!
Now...
Immediately shortened the distance from the spear to the sword, and Moore cut off the Imperial soldier's arm.
Five!
It has not been long since the Minervas were surrounded and began to exchange swords.
No one has been wounded yet, and the opposing Imperial soldier's casualties have already exceeded two digits.
However, as always, it is an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of strength, in addition to fatigue in humans.
Overlapping fatigue can lead to delays in judgment and loss of life in an instant of error.
"Yabah!
One of the guards misses an Imperial soldier's attack and shows a big gap.
One of the Imperial soldiers came after it.
"Watch out!"
It was Minerva's sword that saved the crisis.
A magical short sword plays the sword of an Imperial soldier.
"Thank you!
The escort who escaped the crisis cut off the Imperial soldiers and thanked Minerva with just a voice.
"I'll cover you!
The pain caused by the horse fall has finally healed, and it has been confirmed that it moves without any problems except for the severely struck shoulder.
It is not Minerva's wish to remain alone in this situation.
While standing in the middle, Minerva looks in all directions and waves her sword as she enters to support her escort under pressure.
Once in a while, as the guards moved, they went on a march to contain them, and the next moment they hit them, they immediately retreated and looked around again.
I didn't originally train these formations as a team, but strangely, instant collaboration worked well, so no one left the team alone.
But no matter how much Moore's guards outnumber the Imperial soldiers, everyone understands that this state of affairs is not favorable.
"Captain, it's time!
"Oh, I know!
Besides, we can't beat this many opponents.
All Minervas can do is break through the enclosure and escape after inflicting damage on their enemies.
The timing should leave some leeway.
Now that I have already abandoned my horse, I must crush the legs of the cavalry that will chase me and escape from the enemies that will chase me on top of them.
"Cut it open with Cain and Endori!
Yes!
Got it!
Moore's orders put two of his guards on active offensive.
Their role is to push through the enclosure.
Until then, they were unable to cope with the two movements on the defensive side, and two Imperial soldiers were quickly knocked down.
However, Minerva, who tried to follow them, noticed that the edge of her vision reflected the moya that she had seen many times.
"Magic is coming!
Short warning.
The next moment, Minerva saw a fireball flying towards the back of the running Cain.
"Ghhh!"
"Wow!
At the moment of Minerva's impact, Cain and an Imperial soldier will take it seriously.
"My allies got involved too!
Moore screams to throw up.
Minerva also lost her voice when she saw an incredible sight.
With so many enemies close by, I didn't expect them to cast attack magic.
After we break through the enclosure, we can still talk.
It's only natural to be wary of attack magic and arrows flying in pursuit.
But Minerva didn't expect us to attack until we got our soldiers on our side.
"Mr. Cain!
Minerva rushes to Cain.
"Lady, don't stop! Run!"
Moore's cry is also in Minerva's ear.
But still, she stopped her feet.
"Uu... Please go, young lady...."
Cain said so with a weakness similar to a groan.
He seemed conscious.
It is clear, however, that whoever burns his back will not be far away and will lose his life.
It is not in such a state that it can run on its feet.
Not to mention swinging a sword to fight.
Once again, the Imperial soldiers have been trying to siege the stopped Minerva.
Ah, this isn't good at all.
Even in this situation, Moore's tone remains light.
I don't know whether it can afford to come from the experience of passing through the dead line many times, whether it is false, or whether it is an epilepsy.
We can no longer make a breakthrough.
At last, Minerva realizes that she has made a fatal mistake.
Rushing to the wounded ally would be normal.
But right now, that's not a normal situation.
Seems ruthless, but we should have left the wounded Cain behind and left the four of us behind.
In a very short blink of an eye, Moore had to make his decision as he shouted.
But when it was spoken for this period, there was no doubt.
Minerva made a mistake.
No, even if I understood that abandoning Cain was the right thing to do, I'm sure I wouldn't have hesitated to do it and made an immediate decision.
"I... misjudged..."
With a squeezy voice, Minerva regretted her choice.
The situation is much worse than before.
This is what happens when you hesitate to make a mistake or make a decision at a moment's notice.
On the battlefield, we must make immediate and ruthless decisions.
Minerva has learned the lesson now, but it is only if she is alive that she can make use of it.
Um, well, my daughter is only sixteen years old, and this is her first battlefield. I can't help it. It was worse when I was sixteen. "
Moore's comforting words do not lighten Minerva's heart.
Minerva's mistake is killing Moore and the others.
Naturally, there is no chance of recovery.
In the end, I only pulled around the nobility's pride and duty before building.
As Moore said, he just drove his guards to their deaths with his own actions.
Such thoughts become words.
"... I'm sorry."
Moore gave back his words of advice without hiding his surprise.
"Whoa, duchess lady, don't apologize to the guards."
"There will be no nobility in this situation anymore."
Despite the life-threatening crisis, Minerva smiles bitterly.
"I'm the one who got you all involved. This would not have happened if I had honestly accepted the King's City escape from the beginning. So apologize not as Duchess, but as a human being... and thank you for not abandoning me and for being selfish. To Captain Greysta and to all of you."
Fate has already run out.
Then the appearance and appearance of nobility are even more important now.
Finally, you may be forgiven enough to obey your heart honestly.
"Thank you very much. Don't apologize. Nothing. I didn't hate to follow the lady--"
With one of the Imperial soldiers poking at me with a spear, several soldiers came at me.
Moore continued his words with one of them.
"I've complained a lot about my position, but I don't think the lady's doing anything wrong."
"The captain is right, miss. The aristocracy who stands at the forefront and protects the common people from the invaders is kind of like a righteous ally in the story, isn't it cool?"
A guard guarding Minerva agrees with Moore as he knocks down the Imperial Soldier.
"As a matter of fact, it was kind of fun to be the knight I admired. Waving your sword with the Lord who serves you is an honest and burning situation. It's a rare experience to be a lady."
An escort standing on his right slashed the Imperial soldier in front of him and smiled invincibly.
"That's right, miss. Please keep your chest up."
In the last words from Moore, Minerva's chest boils like a fever.
The feeling that I don't know how to express it filled my body and reasonably suppressed the urge to scream.
"... thank you again"
Without blaming herself, Minerva holds her sword while pressing her shoulder pain.
"I am so proud to be with you. I don't have any recourse for you nowadays, but let me prove that I was at least enough to protect you. So..."
Dodge the sword of a soldier coming at him from the front and tear off his arm instead.
"In the name of the Duke of Nirestelia, let me show you the anti."
With determination, swing out the space in front of you with a sword.
You look good now.
Moore's smiling voice seemed to contain unprecedented familiarity.
Minerva, who feels like she was recognized for the first time as a fellow fighter with equal shoulders, without being subordinate, protector or protector relationship, also makes her forget the situation.
The four swords holding each other's backs slashed and tore apart the Imperial soldiers.
With minor wounds, the Minervas certainly shredded their enemies' power.
But that advantage doesn't last forever.
Minerva's hands are already dull, and his hands are beginning to lose power to grip the familiar sword.
The Imperial soldiers are attacking us constantly, waiting for us to wear out.
Unlike the enemies with the replacement, the Minervas must continue to fight without rest.
A visit to the limits was inevitable.
"Damn, the sword!
A guard standing beside Minerva was severely used to throw a broken sword and obtain a spare weapon dagger.
"Gu...!
The guard guarding the back was staggering with a spear on his side.
But Minerva can't afford to follow them now.
She herself is now slashing the sword with the Imperial soldiers.
No matter how much swordsmanship you polish, Minerva is a sixteen-year-old girl.
It was only natural that they would be pushed into an unfavourable position if they were brought together and pushed with their strength.
There is still work to be done without a shoulder injury, but it is impossible for Minerva today.
"Miss. You don't have any grudges, but you were born in a bad country. - Now, do it!
When the soldiers in front of him sent a signal, other soldiers from left and right raised their spears towards Minerva.
Minerva's whole body is bubbling.
If you were attacked simultaneously from left to right now, it would be a skewer without a scratch.
When she was ready, Minerva felt intense pressure from above her head that she had never experienced before.
She was the only one who noticed the change.
Minerva turned to the sky without thinking.
The colored eyes of the cauldron were opened.
It was spreading over the sky like a dark moya covering all sides.
And now it was a myriad of swords floating in space, pointing to the ground and pointing to the tip.
