“Yuta…..who the hell are the Iron Knights? I’ve heard that they’re strong, but I didn’t expect them to be this bullshit strong…….”

Kiyone says as she witnesses the strength of the Iron Knights. Tris and Brunnhilde seem to be unable to hide their surprise as well.

“I think I understand why you are so strong, Yuta. It’s not as unexpected as it sounds.”

“Even the Sword Clan in its prime could not have done something like this…….”

I could see that the army of the Kingdom of Lubel was clearly in turmoil after being hit by Fugaku’s main gun. It would not be difficult to get to the main temple now.

“Alana, I’m sorry, but I’m heading up the mountain now, can you tell Jean to cover me?”

When I asked her to do so over the external output sound, Alana immediately communicated it to Jean. She also said that she would go with me to the top of the mountain. It would certainly be more convenient for me to go with her, since there is a communication problem.

“Kiyone and I will head to the main temple, while Brünnhilde and Tris will take care of Dalaim’s team.”

“I want to go too!”

“No. Even if the enemy is confused, there are still too many of them, and Tris Tora is in tatters.”

When I said that, she pulled back regretfully.

Jean opened fire on the enemy troops along the route to make it easier for me to get to the top of the mountain. My Excalibur, Kiyone’s Kiku-Ichimonji, and Alana’s Bercya ran along the road that had been burned to the ground by the four elements cannon.

“Yuta, Fugaku’s main gun is out of ammo. Jean says to do something about the rest.”

It seems that they shot us until they ran out of ammunition. There aren’t that many enemies left in the mountains, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

The surviving enemy troops that had escaped Fugaku’s main gun came at us in droves, but Kiku Ichimonji and Bercya’s swords killed them instantly. Alana seemed to have noticed the sharpness of Kiyone’s swordplay and asked me about it.

“Yuta, who is the rider of that magicraft?”

“The rider of that magicraft is Kiyone, formerly of the Sword Clan.”

“Kiyone! Sword Emperor Kiyone of the Twelve Heavenly Masters”

It seems that Kiyone is a celebrity after all, and Alana knew her.

Looking at the foot of the mountain where everyone was fighting, I could see that the large army of the Kingdom of Lubel was being tossed around by the small number of Iron Knights. Some of the Lubel Kingdom troops were running away, so it was only a matter of time before they retreated.

When I arrived at the main temple of Alice’s Abbey, I was struck by the sight of Count Dalaim’s men lying in ruins. The memories of eating together in the dining hall and other places come to mind, and my grief became even greater.

The main temple is torn to shreds, but there are still sounds of fighting in the back. If they were fighting, then there were still people alive. I hurried to the back.

Count Dalaim alone was desperately guarding the entrance to the main hall, which should be called the last stronghold. His magicraft was already in tatters, and an enemy’s sword was stuck in his back.

There were about ten enemy magicrafts fighting Count Dalaim. I leapt to approach the enemy magicrafts and destroyed one of them as I slammed my sword down. At the same time, Kiyone and Alana were also moving. They went to the right and left, and each cut down an enemy machine.

The ten enemies were eradicated in a few seconds. Seeing this, Count Dalaim fell to his knees in relief.

“Count Dalaim, are you all right?”

“Yuta-dono……I’m so sorry! I didn’t expect you to come to my rescue…….”

“I’m glad you made it. Are Mother Maysa and the other sisters safe?”

“Everyone has taken refuge in the main hall.”

I was deeply relieved to hear that.

“Yuta, it looks like the bottom of the mountain has been cleared. The Kingdom of Lubel’s army has started to retreat.”

It seems that Alice Abbey has been defended. But what would have happened if the arrival of the Iron Knights had been delayed even a little bit?……I thanked my friends from the bottom of my heart for showing up at the right time.
