Chapter 4, Episode 23 [Northern Female Fox] Part 1

Joshua carries a cigar between his fingers to his mouth from the top of a chopped cliff, overlooking a convoy bearing the crest of an immortal bird showing the Altomere Empire going down the street directly below him.

Mountains stretching along the border of the Kingdom of Zaluda. Countless human horses covered the streets connected to sew through the valley.

A group carrying supplies gathered by the Crown Princess Chardina from the vast territory of the Ortomean Empire.

I wonder how many soldiers and supplies you've brought in.

The Altomere Empire is the triumphant corner of the Western continent.

It's like showing off its tremendous national power.

(As per prior information…? So she's in a lot of hurry, too.)

Gathering so many people and supplies and putting them on one front shouldn't have been so easy, no matter how powerful the empire of Ortomea is.

(Thank you for your hard work...)

With a bitter laugh, a figure emerged of the First Princess of the Altomere Empire, who had been crossing spears for the past year behind Joshua's brain.

Most of all, Chardina doesn't have a face floating behind her brain.

In the wind, Joshua knew Chardina was a beautiful woman, but in the earth world without pictures or TV, she couldn't have known the face of an enemy princess.

(You're a stomach that lets national powers say things and crush this one all at once... after all, have you chosen that? Well, it's a sure tactic)

A cheerful face with a throw somewhere.

Unscrupulous mustache with no care at all.

My hair also remains blurred, and I smell alcohol and cigars from all over my body.

I don't only smell the cheap perfume used by hookers on boulders, but its appearance is exactly what the three sons of a nose knob were immersed in the slums of Wangdu.

Joshua brings the spell fire lighted at his fingertips closer to the cigar.

Then breathe in quietly and enjoy the smell of tobacco in your mouth.

(Guess that means I'm going to detect Ernesgoola's movements and put Keri on without interrupting. You finally got your ass on fire... but it's the same here with no later...)

Joshua's brains understood that there was already little time left in the kingdom of Zaluda.

And that it is the same for the Ortomean Empire...

Although this past year's successful use of terrain characteristic of mountainous areas has slowed down the offensive speed of the Ortomean Empire, it has not reached a fundamental solution.

It's like putting a life extension on a terminally ill person and betting everything on an unknown new drug.

And the flock of people pushing under the cliff is equal to the reaper who tells the sick to die mercilessly.

(Well, good. Either way, I risked my life and the fate of this country on that man's measures... I just do my job)

Joshua's face floats behind Joshua's brain, the first man to exchange words the other day.

A young man even younger than Joshua, who kept getting punched in the pussy with youth from around him.

It's also a nobleman of civilian origin who doesn't know where the horse bones are.

But the measures offered by the youth were worth enough to make Joshua bet everything.

This is not a bizarre thing to take away.

With a little wisdom, anyone would come up with a measure to that extent.

But just because you can come up with it doesn't mean you can make it happen.

(Interesting guy... indulgent... nah)

Ryo Michizawa's true invincible grin floats behind her brain and Joshua's lips hang.

Joshua was aware of something she couldn't help but love to play.

High Risk High Return.

A training ground that dived several times in a pub at the end of the day.

Every time, Joshua's spine is unspeakably paralyzed and sweet.

"Well... and it's about time..."

What's about to start is a big beat I've never experienced in the past.

It is a beating that betrayed the fate of the three eastern countries of the Western continent.

Throw the cigar at your feet and step out the fire on the heels of your boots.

At that moment, Joshua's beastly fierceness appeared on Joshua's face, which seemed somewhere.

"Damn, push Atai with all his work and I'm all dressed up... he's in good shape"

It was a mercenary of a woman with burning red hair who hung a mixed voice with tease and teasing from behind Joshua.

"Are you ready?

"Oh, you can go anytime you want."

Rione nods confidently as she turns her back.

"Well...... you had a hard time. Rione."

"Ah. Quite a handful of evil ghosts together."

That's how Joshua sighs out of her lips when she sees Rione smiling.

Joshua knew full well that it wasn't easier than Rio's words.

"My guys are good with their arms, but these guys are always the ones with habits. Unless you admit it's better than you, you're not gonna catch your nose either."

In fact, I do not firmly follow the command of the knights seconded by the king's capital, Peripheria.

They are a special regiment specially organized by the late General Berhares. Now that his father is dead, he is completely Joshua's private soldier and Joshua's only soldier.

At any rate, they were criminals such as bandits and bandits who had originally vandalized Zaluda's territory.

General Berhares, who was an excellent knight as well as an excellent military man, believed that if he persisted in the way a legitimate knight fought, he would sooner or later give in before the imperial power of the Ortomean Empire.

The size of the country, the power of the country, the talent, everything is too different.

No matter how the kingdom of Zaluda, as a country of martial arts, is of high quality to every knight, it cannot withstand the number of violence.

On top of that, the key kingdom of Zaluda was never a single rock.

Originally the land was dimensioned by forests and mountains.

The king of the kingdom of Zaluda is not the ruler, even if he is the ally of the rulers and nobles.

The Ortomean Empire, which is almost united under the Emperor's will, and the kingdom of Zaluda, which is difficult to decide unless you are asking about the complexion of the nobles.

Even babies know which is advantageous.

So General Berhares took various means to bridge the national power gap between the Ortomean Empire and the Kingdom of Zaluda.

Among them are naturally included measures to get off the path of knights.

One means of doing so is to reduce security within the Altomere Empire.

To that end, General Berhares sent the bandit leaders who had been convicted of capital offences into the territory of the Altomere Empire in exchange for their lives.

Such are the men who have originally lived rougher lives than mercenaries and adventurers. The fact that you let it follow attests to Rione's ability.

"Not really. I did shave all the time with Choi, so I kicked him in the ass. She's cute."

Rione laughs as she narrows her golden eyes.

In fact, for Rio, there was no such thing as planting Joshua's men.

I haven't put up [Red Lion] 's head "Kagi" while I'm a woman with Dada or insanity.

(I see...... sure that guy is right, she's a usable woman. Besides, I trust that guy)

Ryo Mitsuzai is not in this place.

He should now be headed under the northern female fox risking the fate of the three eastern nations.

What Joshua and Rione are responsible for is to hold back the offensive of the Ortomean Empire at all until the measure materializes.

I was thrown to pieces.

Under this circumstance, which is not even slightly unnatural to think so, there is no disturbing appearance anywhere on Rione's face.

I guess there is a definite bond between Ryo Shiba and Ryone that is not a halfway allegiance or a sense of duty.

"It would be good. Get started."

"Aye. Copy that."

Nodding at Joshua's words, Rione turned behind him.

"All right! I don't know when or where it's coming from. Tell the lead soldiers to be alert enough. Whether it's for Shinkansen's troops or not!

When the commander on the horse speaks up, the transmission is scattered simultaneously.

"Isn't that a little too vigilant?

The commander shook his head sideways at the words of his deputy.

On the other hand, there is a feeling that I am too vigilant myself, many troop leaders have been taken over by the surprise raid of Joshua Berhares over the past year.

Only the two predecessors must be avoided.

In particular, this transport mandate could not fail at all.

"It was said more firmly than His Highness Chardina. Or do you want me to fail this mission?

The deputy shook his head to the side in a panic at the words of his intertwined boss.

"Just kidding..."

"Then shut up and obey... this mission is out of scale and importance... you know that, don't you?

By the life of Chardina, soldiers and supplies are brought into the fortifications of the Plains of Notice like mountains from all over the Altomere Empire.

But no matter how much supplies you save at the rear supply base, it's worth nothing if you can't get it to the front line.

To the commander's inquiry, the deputy nodded silently.

"Get started!

Following the voice of Rione, more than two hundred soldiers began chanting in unison.

"Mother Earth, with your strong arms, you protect your son from evil, and the stone wall rises."

One rock wall after another rises from the earth.

Giant rocks. Heavy, thick walls that fit that expression perfectly.

It is a technique that is traditionally used only on walls, but I am not lost in their expressions.

"Push it down!

Again, we can force the soldiers into the rock walls according to the decree.

"Oooh! Push, push!"

"Put your strength into it!

"It's a waste of rice. Push it in the mood!

It's a wall weighing nearly a few tons.

Even they, who have strengthened their physical abilities with martial arts, cannot push so easily.

They can help with a few people with their faces in bright red.

My muscles swelled up and my blood ran all over my body.

"Drop it right under the cliff!

"" "Whoa!

One last push and the soldiers squeeze the last force and push the stone wall in.

To crush Ortomere's troops passing under the cliff...

"What's that noise?

The commander tilted his neck at the sudden sounding of the mountain from overhead.

"My lord! It's a rock. A rock falls from a cliff."

Turning his gaze to the deputy's pointing report, a giant rock wall rolls down the cliff as he rolls up the dirt smoke.

Because they are not circular, rock walls roll off changing course with irregular movements while hitting each other.

The move is difficult to predict and to avoid.

"Ku! Zaluda's ambush... what was the scourge doing"

"That happens later. Sir, please run away!

No matter, they can't be left on the escape route.

Because a line stretched all over the street can move on, but it can't retreat...

The Ortomean army, which was devastated by the surprise attack on Joshua Berhares on this day, will further reduce its march speed.

And it was meant to give your son Ryo a precious time...
