Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Heroes and Knights - (2)

The girl who made thousands of soldiers tremble in fear. Volmar wants to fight him with his battle axe as quickly as possible.

Simple reason. He wanted to know what song the monster would sing.

“In addition to the joke, are the reports that the Seventh Army has entered the fortress city true?”

Lamia put her telescope back into the equipment pouch on her waist, and nodded firmly:

"Indeed, there were many reports of units carrying the Seventh Army flag entering the city. This is according to the report sent by Heat Haze as well.”

"good. If I can't return the favor, I'll disappoint Lady Rosenmarie who sent me here. "

“I don't think it's going to be a problem. With the overwhelming power of the Lieutenant Colonel, the rumored monster is about to crash. That's why you're called 'Perisher'. "

Lamia's sarcasm made Volmar sigh heavily.

“Enough about that. Really, who gave me that nickname? Thanks to that, people think I'm a bloodthirsty killer."

According to Lamia, Volmar's opponents always ended up as dismembered corpses, which was the reason behind his nickname. Volmar did not intend to do that, it was only because of his overwhelming strength. He can't stand Perisher's nickname.

“Hah !? You start again. That's a fact, is your head okay? "

Lamia blinked and looked at him in disbelief. Volmar looked at the others, but they all turned their eyes away. The misunderstanding seems deep.

“Let me explain, this is a mistake. I just love the songs my opponents sing when I crush them with my battle axe. I don't care much about killing them. "

“Sigh.. Lieutenant Colonel, that means you are no different from a vile killer who enjoys murder.”

Lamia sighed, and Volmar sighed heavily after hearing that. Volmar lamented that he could not find anyone who could appreciate art.

“Hei Lamia, you should put more effort into art. So that you can become like me, and be enriched from within. "

Volmar put his hand on his chest and said in a serious manner:

“When you say subtle words with a large body like a bear, it feels very unreal. Besides, what should we do? Since the enemy is not moving, why don't we take their city with our siege weapons? This would be a great opportunity to test the performance of the prototype."

Volmar followed Lamia's gaze, and caught a glimpse of a wheel. It was a prototype of a small catapult from the Imperial Army's Technology Development Division. It was twice as strong as the previous version, and could destroy the wooden fortress wall in a single blow.

“This will be our last choice. Colonel Gaier's instructions were to put the city in the best possible condition, as it would be our base to attack the Central War Theater. "

“Then what should we do? Sit here and wait?”

Volmar stroked his chin while thinking hard. Lamia was right, they couldn't just wait here. It is almost time to take action.

“Alright.. Let's send them an invitation.”.

The moment she heard that, Lamia's expression brightened.

"That's a good idea. Once they received the invitation from the Lieutenant Colonel, they would not sit idly by and wait any longer. "

"In that case, I'll hand it to you?"

Lamia nodded firmly and accepted:

"I will make preparations to cut down some trees and prepare the material."

Lamia hummed as she called some soldiers to follow her, and moved away from Volmar.

the next morning.

As the morning sun slowly rose above Mount Gransoles and illuminated the ground, the three crucified figures grew more and more visible.

One of them lost his nose and eyes.

The other lost his limbs.

The latter had been skinned entirely.

And near their feet were the uniforms of the Royal Army.

******

The next day after they finished off the Heat Haze. Olivia's group leaves Dessert City Keffin. They've got information from Alvin, so there's no need to stay in town. The Guard Captain was extremely disappointed, but his mood changed for the better when he heard that the possibility of an Imperial Army attack was very low. He sent the Regiment over happily, his personality very easy to read.

—Two more days passed.

“Major, please don't sleep on the back of his horse. That's dangerous."

Claudia reminded him of being worried. Olivia stretched her back, yawned, and then looked up at the sky:

“That's all because the weather is so good. If the battery can lie on the plains, I can sleep comfortably. All right, can we take a break?"

“You already said that two hours ago, and we rested as you want. We'll reach Emreed soon, please wait a minute."

Claudia said desperately. Ashton who was driving beside them smiled awkwardly. It seemed that his plan to rest on the plains had failed.

“Claudia, you are evil! Hey, Ashton, is there anything good in Emreed? Ada, right?”

"Why are you asking me. Hmm ~ since this is a fortress city, there must be good food."

“Mayor, I didn't say anything. Besides-"

"Shut up."

Olivia put her index finger on her lips, and looked forward. He could feel someone approaching.

"What's that?"

Claudia asked tensely. Ashton took out a telescope and observed the front.

“- A rider comes towards us!”

(Gw goru he rode a horse, rode a pig, what riding a wife of a man.)

"Stop!"

Claudia gave the order. All eyes were focused forward, and a man in armor appeared with the sound of a horse tread.

"That .. a soldier of the Royal Army."

"Fright."

“He looked confused. What's going on?"

When the man noticed Olivia's group, he looked relieved — and immediately advanced with a tense face.

"It's an emergency, let me report about riding a horse. I assume that you must be Commander of the Olivia Regiment of the Autonomous Cavalry Regiment, correct?”

"Yes that's right. And you?"

"I'm Private First Class Ritz from Major General Hosmund's unit. Our unit is fighting the Crimson Knights on the plains of Almheim, and the battle is going on badly. Please help us…"

It took everything he had to say this much. Ritz's body swayed slightly, and he fell off his horse. Ashton quickly got down and helped the Ritz stand up.

“... He's fine, he just lost consciousness.”

Claudia sighed in relief upon hearing that, but quickly tensed her face.

“Our front has been against the enemy. Their opponent was the formidable Crimson Knights."

"They'll be in danger if we don't hurry to help."

Claudia nodded firmly.

“Mayor is right, we cannot ignore our allies who are in danger.”

“Come fast.”

"Please wait."

Before Claudia could give the order, Ashton said in a panicked voice from behind. He turned around, and saw Olivia more seriously than before.

"A-What's wrong?"

Her face that looked different than usual made Olivia a little nervous.
