Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Black Flower Dancing on the Death Line - (8)

Next to Ellis's laughter was a blond, blue-eyed man who was staring at the Sun Knight with his hands crossed. He is Ellis' older brother, Second Lieutenant Lucas. Lucas looked at Ellis with an irritated face and said:

“Gosh, the enemy is in front of us, and you still want to laugh. Our opponent is the Sun Knight commanded by the Empire's Tri-General, very different from the bandits we usually face. After all, you are five years older than him, aren't you ashamed to call him 'Oneesama'? Does the heat get to your head?”

With that, Lucas reached out his hand to try to touch Ellis' forehead.

Ellis brushed her hand away furiously.

“You're a bitch, who cares about all that. Don't just stand there, be prepared to face the opponent."

Ellis who was entrusted by Olivia with an important task was very excited. He had never experienced anything like this when he was a city guard dealing with bandits.

In this battle, how much attention he could draw from the enemy would determine the battle, so Ellis played an important role. Disguised as Olivia is the key to this battle.

When he thought that, Ellis clenched his fists. When Lucas saw that, he looked at her with doubtful eyes.

"…What? Are you fascinated by my beauty?"

"Hey, do you think something stupid like 'the key to winning this battle depends on me'?"

"Curtain!"

“So I was right.. You are very easy to read. You're just a soldier on foot, and you fantasize about being a commander?"

(Not a horseman.)

"There's no harm in just thinking!"

“You're just Major Olivia's double body. That'sthat's all. And I'm your boss, don't be tough just because you're my sister."

Lucas said as if he had seen it all. That sucks, but he's right. But whether Ellis can accept it is a different matter.

Ellis clicked her tongue unhappily, and saluted pretentiously.

"Yes sir! Forgive my sassiness, I hope Second Lieutenant Lucas can be generous enough to forgive me. Forgive me for being frank, but can you immediately fight the enemy."

With that, Ellis pointed at the Sun Knights. The soldiers behind him laughed out loud. At the same time, a trumpet warning them that the enemy was within range of the arc sounded.

"Why are you…"

"What, is there a problem?"

“Forget— Archers, shoot in three volley shots. Pikemen, take care of whoever escapes. We have plateaus, so make full use of those terrains. ”

"""Yes sir!!"""

"And don't let that stupid woman's identity be revealed."

“Hold, you jerk! Calling your brother stupid is outrageous!”

Lucas ignored Ellis and gestured with his left hand. The soldiers cut the rope with axes, and the wooden rod rolled down the slope towards the Sun Knights who ran—

Basecamp Second Army

After Olivia and her army appeared on the hill, the Sun Knight changed the direction of their attack. When Brad saw that, he realized the mistake he had made.

The Imperial Army anticipates Olivia more than she imagined. The info he could get on the battlefield was limited, but he still had a lot to learn. Brad could not help but smile wryly.

"Your Majesty, the emissary of Major Olivia."

Liz stopped Brad's thinking.

“Pak, the unit placed in the hills is fake.”

“False? What the hell is going on?"

“Ya Sir, let me explain.”

What the messenger said surprised Brad. The person she assumed was Olivia, was actually a double body. Olivia was ambushing with her soldiers at the foot of another hill.

"Huh!?" Even Liz could not hide her shock. Not only that, there were other units waiting for the ambush, ready to attack the rear and wings of the enemy.

The Second Army is asked to temporarily reorganize the unit as Olivia gains the enemy's attention, and launch a counterattack along with an ambush. Brad believes if the plan goes well, they can surround the enemy and have a chance to defeat the enemy despite having a smaller force.

When Brad saw the informant riding gallantly on his horse, he said to Liz:

“You heard that? Major Olivia is brave enough to attract the attention of the enemy and buy time for us to regroup. He even wants us to launch a counterattack, and give us a lot of problems to solve."

“Fufu. He thought His Majesty was capable of doing so. Major Olivia's assessment is on target."

“True…? I wonder what your base is saying."

Liz answered confidently. Brad is interested in that.

"Oh ~ even though the subject himself said there is no basis whatsoever?"

"Yes, the observer will have a more objective view than the subject itself."

“So, you have a point. Let's hear your reasons. "

“Because I'm sure Your Majesty can do it.”

Liz looked at Brad, and her tone was firm. Brad turned his head as if he was trying to escape from his eyes, scratched his head and then said:

“- Anyway, from the movement of the unit on the hill, the group of 'flakes' was well ordered. I don't know how she did it, but Major Olivia's abilities are real."

"Mayor Olivia has started fighting, we mustn't miss."

"really so. After all I am the commander of the Second Army, I must not slow down my proud subordinates ... Captain Liz."

"Send the number of wounded and dead to the center, and spread it in a circle formation."

Brad laughed wryly, then continued:

“Ya, do that.”

Due to Olivia's interference, the battle on the Freiberg Plateau is coming to an end.

The Claudia Amusement Unit

At Olivia's behest, Claudia and Ashton manage to go behind the Imperial forces.

“Yeah, this is unexpected.”

The battle on the hill made Ashton show a puzzled expression.

To fight against the 3,000 army of the Fraud Detachment, the Sun Knight sent out a large portion of their army. Claudia dislikes the nickname Death God, but she has to admit that Ashton's plan worked because it attracted so many opponents.

But Olivia wasn't there. Although Ellis was somewhat skilled with the sword, he was just an ordinary warrior who dyed his hair and wore the same armor.

“It's thanks to the flashy flag that Ashton prepared as well. Even with the advantage on the terrain, the Fraud Detachment would not last long against the Sun Knight who had doubled the number. What are you planning, Mr. great strategist."

Ashton scratched his face in embarrassment when he heard Claudia flirting.

“I admit that I didn't think about it carefully. The influence of the Death God far exceeded my imagination. But-"

"The enemy's basecamp defense is very weak, right?"

Ashton opened his eyes wide, then raised the corner of his lips. It wasn't important, but Claudia found it rare to find a man like Ashton who was completely unsuited to an arrogant smile.

"That's evil, Lieutenant Claudia. So you already know, and just tease me."

“Your miscalculation happened to bring a favorable result. Don't forget about it. "

Ashton is more concerned with the environment than himself. And such people usually die young on the battlefield. Moreover, Ashton could not even use the sword well. So Claudia had to remind him repeatedly.

"It's okay, I'm not so narcissistic."

"All right then. So, what are you planning?"

“It will be heavy, but the Fraud Detachment should last longer. This will save our efforts to kill the enemy commander. I don't think Olivia's gonna miss this opportunity."

“Do not waste time. We'll push in one strike."

Claudia turned around and raised her sword up high, and shouted to the soldiers who were preparing to leave:

“We will attack the rear of the Imperial army. With the main force of the enemy involved in the Fraud Detachment, this was a golden opportunity. It's time you all roared like lions."

““ “Ya Mdm !!” ””

The troops clenched their fists high and replied.

2,000 soldiers under Claudia's command begin attacking the enemy basecamp.
