Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
The Conferred Meeting - (3)

Gauss' team left the storage room to open the gate hook. Hearing the cries coming from far away, they advanced cautiously.

“I-This is..”

In front of Gauss' eyes, minced meat and gore splattered all over the walls, and piles of corpses lined the hall. None of the bodies were intact, and all of them had at least one body part missing. Some are even split vertically. Gauss' group were elite veterans, but they were still panting at the sight of this terrifying sight.

Gauss was relieved by this. She was so happy that Olivia became her ally.

“Deputy Commander Gauss, the shout from a distance is..”.

“The commander must have made a mess there. Let's use this opportunity to head for the main gate! "

"""Yes sir!!"""

The group nodded in agreement, and charged towards the main gate.

Bloom's roar echoed throughout the room.

"It's just one soldier, how long do you need!"

“It's not an ordinary soldier! Colonel Bloom, you've heard of him, haven't you? About the monster that holds the black sword !? ”

Major Paduin sparred with a pale face, and Bloom stiffened when he heard that. Rumors of the monster girl had indeed spread to Bloom, but he brushed it off with a laugh. If a girl can kill Samuel, then a pig can fly.

(Now I'm asking you can fly? :p)

“Really unreasonable. I don't care if he's a monster, there are many ways to kill him. Order archers to fire volley shots from a distance.”

By pulling the battle from the open to confined space, closing the way back, and shooting arrows at him. When Bloom expressed his idea, Paduin scoffed at him:

“You don't need to tell me, I've tried it. But before we could even shoot, he approached and cut off the three allies' heads. How terrible the monster is! "

Paduin slammed the table angrily, and Bloom said with a sigh:

“You think I'm gonna believe that shit? Is that a character from a novel? "

“You are free to trust whatever you want, Colonel Bloom. I have given my report, and will release my hands from this matter .. "

After saying that, Paduin tried to leave the office immediately. And of course, Bloom would not tolerate such humiliation from his subordinates.

“Dumb bases, are you going to give up on your current duties? Major, you understand the consequences, don't you? ”

“Haha, you want to execute me for defying orders? Do whatever it takes, I'll die anyway. "

The pale-faced Paduin grumbled as he left the room.

“... Lanchester. We'll handle it later, but what do you think about what he said? ”

Lanchester who was listening quietly beside Bloom said slowly:

“It is hard to believe, but in my humble opinion, we should take action assuming that the report is correct.”

"You think like that?"

An unexpected answer made Bloom stare at Lanchester. Bloom thought Lanchester would scoff at the report, but he instead treated it seriously.

“Yes, he might be something like a walking disaster, impossible to handle by an ordinary human. A good example is the Witch. ”

"What's!? You said that a single warrior was similar to a Witch…? How is it possible.. If it is true, what should we do? ”

“Alright... Please wait a minute.”

Lanchester then walked to the next room, and placed a bow like a weapon on the table.

"- What is this?"

“This is the prototype sent by the Imperial Army Research Department to us. Simply put, this is a simplified version of balista. They said his speed and strength were much better than the arrows of an archer. "

After hearing Lanchester's introduction, Bloom took his gun. It did have a shape similar to a balista, but instead of pulling the bowstring, it used a metal mechanism instead. Does not look as heavy as it looks, and is easy to operate.

"Persian. The Royal Army is outside the castle, if this matter continues, our units will be destroyed from within. "

“Certainly we pressed time— hmm?”

Bloom could hear frantic footsteps outside his office. Footsteps stopped right outside, and a panting soldier barged in through the door.

"Knap before you get in!"

Lanchester yelling.

“M-I'm sorry! But it's an emergency! "

"It's okay, talk."

"Yes sir! The Royal Army troops broke through the main gate, and flooded the castle! "

"What did you say!?"

Bloom stood up from his chair, and directed his gaze at Lanchester, who became stiff from shock.

"What's going on!? Did the Royal Army use siege weapons !? ”

This castle may be old, but it's still a castle. Unless the enemy had siege weapons, the main gate would not easily fall. But what the soldier said was beyond Bloom's expectations.

“They don't use siege weapons! A group of Royal warriors appeared out of nowhere, and released the hook before we even realized it! "

Bloom was surprised. He then realized that the monster girl was just a distraction, and the real purpose of the enemy was to open the main gate amidst all that confusion. At the same time, a question came to his mind. How did that monster girl and the Royal army infiltrate the castle?

Agents from the Heat Haze could escape past the guards, but their numbers were limited. From what he heard, a large number of Royal soldiers had infiltrated the castle. The safety net in Kaspar castle is not so loose that many people can escape.

With the matter piling up, Bloom held his head.

"Colonel, we haven't lost. We have an incredible advantage in terms of numbers. I will rule from the front as well. ”

“Lanchester ....”.

Lanchester who never showed the expression on his face looked grim and resigned. This fact told Bloom how desperate the situation was.

Monstrous monsters rampaged inside the castle, the main gate fell without a fight, and morals were non-existent. Numbers are no longer the deciding factor now.

Seeing the main gate open, Claudia gave the order:

“The First, Second, and Third Vest comes in! Press the main facility inside the castle! "

"Good! It's time for the captain of Olivia's personal bodyguard, the great Guile to shine! You guys, don't tarnish our Valkyrie name! ”

““ “Understanding !!” ””

The First Company vanguard said something strange.

“——Ashton, when did that man become the captain of Second Lieutenant Olivia's personal bodyguard?”

Claudia looked at Ashton with wondering eyes.

“S-Who knows? It may be self-proclaimed ... I'm not sure, but I'm sorry. "

Ashton apologized with a timid face. They could not call themselves personal guards, but her spirit was high because of that, so Claudia pretended not to hear anything.

an hour after that.

The detachment unit successfully suppressed the key installation inside Kaspar castle. When the units attacked, the castle was already in chaos, and the Imperial Soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered without putting up any resistance. Surprisingly, they looked relieved after becoming prisoners. Second Lieutenant Shisiru was so moved that he even cried.
