* * *

Chel, who had been moving around the battlefield as she pleased, thought that everything was going her way until that moment.

“Haaat!”

Life didn’t really matter.

If only I could inflict maximum damage on the Serpina Army-

The act of giving up on survival and charging forward certainly succeeded in giving the enemy an unexpected sense of intimidation.

Perhaps there is no need to worry about magic either.

Whether or not the castle was cast with magic, it didn’t matter to Chel, who had already given up on the castle.

If you cast magic where you are, it will inevitably cause damage to the Serpina army that is fighting along with you.

Even if Serpina decided to take some damage and use magic, it was still a profitable deal for Cello.

Because if you give her the image of sacrificing her allies, it will only hurt her in the long run.

A charge that only thought of damaging Serpina!

If you think about it purely in terms of ‘dealing with the enemy’, it was definitely the best decision that Chel could make.

As evidence –

Aren’t the soldiers of Serpina’s army like a rabble, not knowing what to do?

“First, focus on destroying the siege weapons!”

If you can destroy even one more siege weapon that hasn’t even been set up yet, that alone will be enough to cause damage.

Was it because we had a tailwind, or was it because the enemy was disorganized?

The weapons that were not even ready yet were all being sorted out by the Chel Army at a faster rate than expected.

fast!

Intoxicated by the fight, Chel looked at the collapsing siege engine and smiled with satisfaction.

‘Okay. If I can just keep fighting like this and take out the enemy’s warriors one by one… …!’

at that time.

Instead of burning with fighting spirit, Chel had to think that the speed was too fast.

He must have wondered why his own soldiers were so easily subduing siege engines.

But before we even think about it in detail-

“Chel Brands!”

From over there, a tasty treat was rolling in.

visor!

“Crancis! Long time no see, you damn old man!”

I had encountered Crancys before, back when the continent was still unified.

During the time when all order was collapsing without a monarch being decided between Algot and Sydmead, he was a foolish general who refused the offer of his father, Orlando Brand, and remained on Eingart’s side until the end.

“What an outrageous outburst. They say he’s the best sword in Bran’s, but that’s a really grand title to give to a rat who throws a tantrum in a fight he can’t win!”

“It looks like your heart is burning! Even if you spit out ridicule, I can see beyond it! That look of fear!”

After dividing the sum a few more times, Crancys began to be pushed back unilaterally.

Up until this point, it was all within Crancy’s calculations.

“Commander!”

From over there, another one started riding towards us.

Irian, the blond knight.

A man who stands tall as the most powerful figure in the current Serpina military, practically the ‘next generation general’ line.

He immediately helped Crancys and began attacking Chel from the opposite side.

“Two flies are sticking together!”

visor!

“Did you think you’d get pushed!!!”

For a normal person, it would be natural to feel at a disadvantage in a 2:1 battle, but-

Chel was not like that. She was a battle maniac who felt a kind of catharsis the more people attacked her.

Moreover, he possessed a body that could thoroughly support such a nature.

Although it was a relatively weak situation compared to its heyday –

It was quite possible to deal with both Irian and Crancys in this position.

So, the three of us shared the sum a few more times-

Even though it is clear that two people are hitting one person at a time, the momentum is not weakening at all.

No. Rather, Seunggi was leaning more and more towards Chell.

‘I’m really being pushed… … !’

I had expected it to some extent from Crancy’s cold words that even if two people rushed in, they would probably be pushed back, but when I actually experienced being pushed back, my vision became dim.

But… …we can’t be pushed back here.

For Crancys and himself, there was an important mission assigned to them by the scribe.

‘I have to somehow drain Chel’s stamina… …!’

That moment when the three of them clashed for a long time.

“Ouch… … !”

With a metallic clash, Irian let go of the spear he was holding in his hand.

Battle Ghost Chel never let that moment go by and rushed at him with his eyes shining as he lost his weapon.

“I’m starting to get bored! Let’s take them out one by one! You first, you brat!”

‘Fuck… … !’

The situation is that we haven’t even properly exhausted Chel’s stamina yet, and if we continue like this, the operation could go awry.

But time on the battlefield passes so quickly that it feels rushed even to criticize oneself.

“Die!!!!”

‘Hey, you have to dodge to the side!’

Even if you get hurt to some extent, you can survive if you dodge to the side –

In front of Irian’s eyes, who was thinking like that and trying to move his body as much as possible.

“Ugh!”

“… … Commander… … !”

Crancys, who had intervened without anyone noticing, took Chel’s attack with his own arm.

Of course, the text was just ‘received’… … but instead, it was an attack.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”

“… … !”

After a brief moment of surprise, Irian quickly grabbed the axe that Crancys was holding and-

He swung it straight at Chell.

“Krrr… … !”

With a bang, part of the armor broke off-

For the first time, I was able to land a proper hit on him.

A situation that happened in an instant.

Chel quickly pulled out the sword embedded in Crancy’s forearm, turned his horse around, stepped back slightly, and covered the wound where Crancy’s axe had grazed him.

“This fucking brat… … !”

“Lee, Irian… … You did very well. As expected, you are quick to judge… … ”

“Commander! Are you okay?”

“Rather than asking for his safety, that guy… … that monster, if we can end it on our own… … !”

“But if that happens, Commander’s life… … !”

In fact, even though the axe was stuck in her body for a moment, Chel let out a small sigh and prepared herself for battle again.

Blood would definitely flow, but he didn’t waver at all and just glared at me as if he was going to burn me.

monster.

The title of ‘Bran’s First Sword’ was not just a formality.

If we continue to fight him like this, we might be able to defeat him, assuming we get support – but Crancys will definitely die.

So what decisions must we make? What is best for all of us?

At that time, Irian was at a loss as to what to do.

visor!

“Yes, four years… … !”

The one facing Chel, who had once again entered battle formation, was the red-haired knight and second-in-command of the occupying forces, Irene Juliette.

“Irian-kong! Take the Commander and evacuate! Leave this place to me!”

“General Irene… … !”

Instead of saying anything further, Irian nodded briefly, picked up Crancys, and quickly left the battlefield.

At this point… … I must have done as much as the bookworm told me to do.

I’ll just leave the rest to Irene.

“Oh yeah… … Irene Juliet. The face of that dirty traitorous bitch… … I’m going to see it again with my own two eyes. I’ve been waiting. I wanted to kill you with my own hands… … at least for four years.”

“Isn’t it the same for you and me when it comes to betraying our lord?”

“I also have the blood of the Bran family flowing in me… … How can you call that a betrayal? You dirty bitch who has tarnished the face of your father who served the Bran family all his life… … !”

“… … ”

“What is left in your life after four years, except for the Brans?! Everything in Juliette’s house was made for us, the Brans! There is nothing left! You are the only one left in this world!”

Irene slowly closed her eyes.

If it were normal, I would have been shaken by such words without hesitation… … But not anymore.

Because it wasn’t the Brancus family that kept me centered.

And, I’m not alone anymore.

“You’re pitiful too, Chel.”

“What… … ?”

“I was oppressed by the name of Branth and did something I didn’t want to do. Because I couldn’t trust my younger siblings. In that sense, you and I are not qualitatively different in that we can’t even trust our relatives.”

“… … !!”

Chell’s face began to distort rapidly enough to be visibly distorted.

Of all people, someone named Juliet is pitying me… …?

Even the pain felt from the axe wound emptied that place, and what took its place was… …overwhelming anger.

“… … Irene. Four years… … Do you really want to die? ”

“Unfortunately, I have no intention of dying for you. I have a lot of work to do.”

“What?”

The moment Chel was about to continue her story.

–bang!!!!!!!

‘What, what is it?!’

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard from behind me.

Technically, it’s a sound like something exploding.

‘Is it magic? Did you use magic… …?!’

But if I use magic in this situation, the damage to my own army will be considerable… …?

Still, it wasn’t a situation that made no sense at all.

Even more so when you think about who you’re fighting right now.

‘Serpina, that villainess is determined to… …take care of this side even at the risk of her own troops… … .’

At that time, he thought that somehow dealing damage to her in the way he had planned was the right answer.

Irene turned her horse and started to walk away from Chell.

“Are you running away, Irene!!!”

If I left this place, there was a chance I would be subjected to magic-

Looking at the situation, it seemed that the wizard had already been deployed to the battlefield, and there was no need to be overly fearful as there was only one of them.

Besides, even though I was somehow holding on for now, I felt my vision gradually becoming blurry.

Even so, that girl can win.

Before I die, I’ll kill that bitch with my own hands for the last time-

With only that thought in mind, I followed behind Irene.

* * *

After some distance from the battlefield.

“Take it!”

Chel finally turned her horse’s head again and continued to argue with Iren, who was clashing weapons with her.

Surprisingly, Chell wasn’t pushed even here.

Even though he had fought two people before, he was on par with Irene.

Rather, I sensed that Irene was being pushed back little by little.

“… … !”

Looking at Irene’s movements, which seemed to continuously lead her somewhere, it seemed like there was something going on…

The amount of blood that Chel had shed while running here was too much to judge in detail.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

visor!

“This is it… …the end!!!”

The very moment that Chel raised her sword towards Irene.

――Thud, that is.

“Uh… … ?”

Bam!

Chel couldn’t even swing her sword, and it fell out of her hands.

He slowly lowered his head and looked down at his chest.

And then you notice.

That a green rapier engulfed in bright red flames pierced my chest.

And then a man’s voice is heard.

“It’s not Irene who’s ending, it’s you, Chel.”

“This… … thing.”

Before he could even realize what was going on, he turned his head and saw-

It was the image of a man with pure white hair and a woman with pink hair.
