Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Battle of Iris - (11)

"We may lose 30% of our troops ... And half of the survivors are in no condition to fight."

"understandable. The wounded must remain within our formation, and spread the rest around them. When we're ready, we'll retreat to Kaspar Castle. "

"Yes sir!"

Cyrus sighed as she saw a hint of rationality in George's eyes. After preparations were completed, their units retreated towards Kaspar castle.

"Stop messing around! We must retreat to Kaspar Castle! "

Minits shouted with red eyes. His servant attempted to calm him down, while the officers ignored the Minits, and quickly prepared to retreat in an orderly manner. They didn't do this on Minits orders, they just didn't want to die. There was no way they would want to die along with the stupid watchman. They do not state this openly, but their attitude shows this clearly.

Minits servants were unhappy with the soldiers, but did not dare to vent them. They are afraid of anger if they say something. They only realized by now that the Reoness was the one keeping the entire unit together.

When the retreat was completed, the incident happened.

Historical records state that Major General Minits was killed in a stray arrow attack from the Royal Army. But the reality is -

"What's wrong? Where's Lord Minits' horse? Are you planning to let His Majesty run off by yourself? "

An officer asked in annoyance, and Mars who was in charge of the retreat replied coldly:

"I'm not Lord Minits' cage boy. If you really need it, why don't you get his own horse, Your Majesty? "

"- !? How dare you ...! What you just said meant betrayal. I'll let you go this time, so bring His Majesty's horse here now! "

"You want to charge me with treason? Please - try it! "

Mars walked up to the officer and punched him in the stomach. The officer fell to the ground and groaned with his hands on his stomach. The other officer swung his fist in retaliation, but he was too slow. Mars turned around to dodge, supported him, and kicked him so hard that the officer fainted.

Officer Minits was only a civilian officer, and not a match for Mars who was a military officer. Minits finally noticed the commotion and shouted:

"Basic stupid! What did you do to my servant !? I'll chop off your head! "

"I doubt you can do that, Lord Minits?"

In response to the Minits wielding his sword, the Officers in the tent all pointed their bows at him.

"What's!? Dirty village bottom, how dare you point your arrow at me, who has noble blood on my veins !? What does this mean!?"

Minits lashed out, while Mars gave a measured response.

"Nothing to explain. Because of your foolish command, our beloved Major Reoness died in battle. And he did it to let trash like you escape. "

"Continue!? The plan almost killed me! Of course he must die! It's bullshit! "

"If you can't even understand this, then die."

Mars shot his arrow without hesitation, and hit Minits right between his eyebrows. Minits fell backwards and died on the spot.

"M-Relievous-"

"Do it!!"

On Mars' orders, officers shot the two officers. Their mouths jolted like fish out of water, and died painfully.

"... It was a pity, but Lord Minits and his bodyguards died respectfully from the arrows of the Royal Army. Let's hurry back to Kaspar's castle and report this. "

"""Yes sir!!"""

Mars rode his war horse, and retreated with the surviving soldiers.

George and his Full Metal Knights are fighting a terrible retreat. As they withdrew from the plains of Iris, they defeated their pursuers over twenty times. Historians from the continent of Doubedirica rated the difficulty faced by the Full Metal Knight as one of the worst on the battlefield.

"- After passing through this rocky area, we will reach the plateau... We should be able to rest there for a while."

"Unfortunately, you're wrong."

As if they were mocking George's words, a new group of enemies appeared before them.

"A persistent group."

"Y-Your Majesty, look at that!"

"So, they are a stealthy attacking unit that controls the main base camp ..."

George gritted his teeth in anger, and could feel the blood in his mouth because he used too much force.

"Should we destroy them?"

When he heard Cyrus, George could not help but smile wryly. They had less than 2,000 people left, and everyone was injured and exhausted. But despite all that, their fighting spirit was at its peak.

"Ajudan Cyrus, when did you start talking like that? That's not something an aide should say. "

"I may be influenced by His Majesty. And there's no way I can stand to see Lord Osborne like this. "

With that, Cyrus unsheathed his sword that was already stained black. The other riders prepared their spears, ready to attack.

"Hmmp, stupid - but well, as expected of my subordinates."

George raised the corner of his lips, and attacked the Royal Army soldiers who had appeared. With that as his signal, Cyrus and the 2,000 Full Metal Knight followed in his footsteps. Their teamwork and neat formation made it look like the movement of a single being.

George drove his horse towards the girl in the middle of the enemy formation. Normally, he would mock the weak Royal Army for sending a girl into battle, but his instinct told him that the girl on the black horse was dangerous. George braced his guts, and thrust his spear into the head of the black horse to strip the girl of her mobility.

"What!?"

"It's a shame that the horse died."

His spear fell to the ground by the black sword. His grip on the spear came off because of his incredible strength.

Instincts right. This girl is very

"Did you kill Lord Osborne?"

"Lord Osborne ...? Yes that's true. I killed him."

The girl looked towards Osborne's head and replied with a smile.

"I'd guess... What's yourname?"

"I? I'm Olivia. "

"Olivia. So - go to another world in peace !! "

George drew his sword and slashed at Olivia. Vertical cutting, horizontal swing, piercing attack, he dodged all attacks deftly. George pulled himself in to catch his breath.

"Huff, huff, this is ridiculous. He dodged my sword easily... "

"Enough-enough? No, let me repeat it. I'm gonna do a deadly blow now. "

"In your dreams!"

George attacked Olivia with his horse, and swung his sword diagonally to the left with all his might.

"- B-How did this happen !?"

George looked up at the sky. Olivia jumped off the back of her horse to avoid the blow. The last thing George saw was Olivia drawing her sword vertically from the air.

The last thing George saw was Olivia drawing her sword vertically from the air

"Your Majesty !? Fuck you!!"

Cyrus turned around and slashed with his sword. Olivia grabs George's sword and throws it at Cyrus. The sword cut through the air and pierced Cyrus in the face, pinning him to a rock cliff.

- An hour later.

The famous Full Metal Knight was wiped out.

On the fourth day of battle.

The rain that started at dawn had stopped, and the sun was shining down on the ground through the cracks in the clouds.
