Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Heroes and Knights - (6)

Lamia felt the woman's eyes glitter a little, and wondered if she saw anything. After all, he could not end a fight like this. Lamia slowly became confused.

"Curtain!"

Lamia jumped off her left leg, and slashed vertically again — before turning it into a horizontal attack once again.

“I've seen this move! You think this will work for me !?”

The woman leaned almost to the ground, and swept her enemy's feet. Lamia's weak point was attacked, and she couldn't react in time. He took the blow and fell. The woman did not let this opportunity pass, and pointed her sword at Lamia's throat.

“-Match has been decided.”

The woman said coldly. One wrong move from Lamia, the sword will reap his life. He breathed a heavy sigh.

“Sigh, I lost, yes. But you'll soon join me in hell. ”

“... Still say nonsense, huh? You are truly the disgrace of a knight. "

Lamia said defiantly to the scornful Claudia:

“No, I'm not talking nonsense. You will definitely die for Lieutenant Colonel who will put an end to that rumored monster !!"

Lamia did not mock him for vengeance or expecting a quick death. He wanted to make her agitated and take the opportunity to turn things around.

But contrary to Lamia's expectations, the sword in her throat did not waver in the slightest. The woman exhaled quietly, and looked at him with cold eyes:

“... Two things are wrong.”

"Huh? What's wrong?"

The woman did not care about Lamia's evil expression, and continued:

“First, Lieutenant Colonel is waiting for you in hell. You can increase your decency in that world."

The woman said with great certainty, as if she was looking at the moment when Volmar took his life. Lamia was confused, and the woman continued.

“Second, Major is not a monster. Major is— Olivia is a hero !!"

With that shout, the woman stabbed her sword deep into Lamia's throat.

******

Olivia's duel ends with the death of Volmar Ganglet. And now, the Royal army was chasing the retreating Crimson Knights. Both the Autonomous Cavalry Regiment and the enraged soldiers under Hosmund were involved.

On the other hand, the one in charge of the retreat was Captain Gordo Kreis. He was 55 years old, but still maintained his dignified attitude. About 60% of his troops had been killed, but he was still working tirelessly to save as many soldiers as he could.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

"""Yes sir!!"""

Gordo gathered his men, who responded excitedly. Commander Volmar and his deputy Lamia were killed in battle, but fighting spirit was still high. This was due to their loyalty to Rosenmarie, and their pride as members of the Crimson Knights.

It is questionable whether the retreat will go smoothly. Frankly, Gordo felt his chances were small.

- the reason is clear.

“Captain Gordo! Second Lieutenant Burghardt's line of defense has been broken!"

His servant, Henrik, who followed him on horseback shouted. Gordo turned around, and saw a girl with silver hair draped on a dark horse.

“Monster it! He's catching up so fast! "

This monster disguised as a girl seems to have slashed at Volmar the 'Perisher' until only his body remains. This was a reply to Volmar's invitation letter to the Seventh Army. And now, Gordo finally understood why he had frightened several thousand soldiers.

Gordo gave the order:

“Let the injured retreat first! The rest, form a square formation! Spear forward, stop the enemy attack! Archers in the back should shoot in three consecutive shots! Don't let any of them pass!"

"""Yes sir!!"""

“Mayor, the enemy has taken the square formation. They seemed determined to fight to the death. "

“Crimson Knights, huh. If we continue to attack, our losses will start to increase as well. I will lead and disrupt their formation. Claudia, launch the attack when you see an opportunity, okay?"

“Ya Mdm, leave it to me!”

Claudia immediately accepted it. Ashton rang the trumpet to notify the entire unit.

“Change the formation into a crescent moon! —Olivia, I know how powerful you are, but don't force yourself. ”

"Yes I know. Thanks for your kind attention, I'll leave~. "

Olivia smiled and waved at the anxious Ashton, then moved away from the front row.

"Horsie, I'm counting on you."

Olivia stroked the back of her horse gently. The black horse understood his master's intentions, and began to speed away. Z tells Olivia in the past that horses are intelligent creatures, and this dark horse has grown in her. Olivia decided to give him a proper name after this battle was over.

“—Pikements, forward!”

(Spear squad)

On the orders of one person, most of the enemy soldiers formed a neat spear formation. The spears were as tight as an iron wall, showing their determination to stop the invasion of the enemy. Olivia deftly pulled out an automatic arrow from her back and aimed at the man who gave the — command and then pulled the trigger.

There was a dull metallic sound. At the same time, the bolt pierced through the man's forehead very deeply. Olivia kept breaking through and shooting with subtle movements, and a pikeman would fall down every time like a puppet whose rope was cut.

(Hmm, this toy is really good to wear. It is stronger than a bow, and can shoot repeatedly with enough practice. My decision was right to take this from Mr. Bloom.)

Olivia kept an arrow on her back, and pulled out her black sword with a sweep. He spurred his dark horse forward and attacked the enemy.

“Don't be afraid of that monster! Surround her and stab her!"

Their captain shouted loudly. Olivia cut off the spear that came towards her, then cut off the man's head. Blood splattered on his enemy's armor, making them dying a darker red color.

The soldier who swung his sword towards the blind spot had his head split in two, along with his helmet. His brain spilled like a pudding. Olivia broke through with her dark horse, leaving the Crimson Knights terrified and forcing them to retreat with each swing.

so, their formation began to collapse.

"Lieutenant One Claudia, one corner of the square has been broken!"

(Crimson Knights use square formations.)

Ashton yells.

Claudia took a deep breath.

“This is our chance! Destroy their formations at once! "

““ Yes Mdm !! ””

On Claudia's orders, the Autonomous Cavalry Regiment and the Hosmund Cavalry Regiment began all their assaults. Even the elite Crimson Knights were shaken due to the coordinated attacks.

One by one, the lives of people in red were annihilated on the battlefield—

“K-Captain! We can't hold on much longer!"

A soldier shouted sadly. The square formation was in shambles, and the siege of the enemy was slowly getting firmer. It was impossible to gather their formations anymore.

Looking ahead, the monster disguised as a girl was unstoppable. After swinging his black sword, a group of opposing soldiers would despair. It was like watching a substandard theater play.

The black sword that was covered in dark mist and blood dripping like it was not from this world.

“Captain Gordo, if this continues..”.

Henrik almost groaned.
