It is difficult to fight properly against the army of the Kingdom of Lubel, which has 5,000 magicrafts deployed. We have no choice but to concentrate our attack on a single point and try to break through.
I instructed Dalaimâs men to use the arrows to intimidate the enemy, and Kiyone and I rushed into the enemy unit defending the entrance to the mountain to break through. However, after killing about a dozen enemy machines, the enemy forces retreated a bit. I had a bad feeling about the unexpected retreat, but sure enough, a large number of artillery shells were flying in from around the mountainside.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was a sea of fire.
âYuta! That new magicraft bombardment is dangerous! Letâs move back a bit!
I know that Kiyoneâs suggestion is correct, but when I think about Count Dalaim and Mother Maysa, I feel like I canât do anything about it.
There was a big explosion around me and I was blown away. Thanks to Excaliburâs high defense, it has been able to avoid damage, but it wonât last long in this stateâŠâŠ.Reluctantly, I had to retreat.
Not only did it become more difficult to get close to the mountain, but the bombardment of the new magicrafts of the Kingdom of Lubelâs army drove us back. In addition, a large army was encircling us, the army of the Kingdom of Lubel, which was closing in on us no matter whether we cut them down or not, was slowly squeezing us.
I spin around and cut down enemy magicrafts that have been attacking me from three sides, and then skewered a large magicraft in front of me with my sword.
I looked up and saw that an enemy unit was approaching Musashi. Dalaimâs troops desperately attacked with arrows, but there were too many enemies and they couldnât stop everyone. I think I need to go helpâŠâŠbut I canât move because Iâm surrounded by enemies too.
BrĂŒnnhildeâs Kunitsuna Onimaru steps out in front of the troops approaching Musashi. Her swordsmanship is a defensive swordsmanship called Mamoru Ken, in which she manipulates her sword according to the movements of her opponent.
As soon as the enemy magicraft swings its weapon, Kunitsuna Onimaru sword moves to cut down the enemy. As expected of a triple Highlander, Kiyoneâs number one disciple, she wiped out the approaching enemy force with overwhelming strength.
But the enemy troops keep showing up one after another. Kiyone and Brunnhilde seem to still have some energy left in them, but Tris seems to have already reached his limit. The body of Tora was severely damaged, and cruelly, his left arm was about to be torn off.
âTris! You need to step back!â
Kiyone instructed, sensing Trisâ limitations.
âI can still do it, Master!â
He said, but he probably wouldnât be able to hold on much longer.
Damn it! At this rateâŠâŠ.
But then, I saw Fugaku who had emerged from the forest.
Kiyone reacts to my words.
âIt means that the Iron Knights have arrived!â
I couldnât communicate with Fugaku from Excalibur. I was wondering if there was any way I could let them know that I needed help but when they approached me I called out to Fugaku using the external output sound.
âThis is Yuta! Jean, can you hear me Weâre struggling with many enemies, we need help!â
âWhat the hell, Yuta, why are you riding Excalibur the Sword Saint?â
âWe can talk about that later!â
âI know, I know. Iâve already given them the order.â
Just as Jean had said, the hatch of the Fugaku was opened, and out of it popped the old faces of my friends magicrafts.
âYuta, itâs Nanami!â
âYou asked me to come and now youâre at war. Youâre a busy man.â
âOdeâŠâŠYutaâŠâŠhelpâŠâŠ.â
âWowâŠâŠ.Excalibur! Iâve never seen Excalibur in person!â
âWho cares, the enemy is the Kingdom of Lubel! Why are we fighting them?â
âI donât care who the enemy is! Letâs just get this over with and have an emotional reunion.â
âNo, it has something to do with you, Linnecarlo-samaâŠâŠ.Itâs that Kingdom of Lubel!â
In addition, a familiar magicraft also appeared.
âYuta is always in trouble, isnât he?â
âThatâs right. Donât sit around and get beat up.â
âWhy are you in Fugaku?â
âWeâll talk about that later. Letâs get this over with.â
Itâs true that there is no time for idle talk. I have to save Count Dalaim and Mother Maysa. I changed my mind and readied my sword.
