Chapter 4 – Capture Part 1
Starlight Year 1262. June 16th. Five years after the end of the Second Astraea-Fenrir War.
Right after the sudden explosion in the final battle of the Third Astraea-Fenrir War.
An ancient ruin hidden beneath the border area Hezen Plain.
“An explosion at the timing aimed at the end of the battle and the resultant collapse of the ruins… This is Fenrir Kingdom’s work? …It can’t be.
Rising dust and smoke.
Boulders scattered everywhere.
And the corpses of countless soldiers caught in the explosions and falls.
In the midst of this sudden accident, her armor was somewhat broken, but her body was unscathed, and Reina closed her eyes and was lost in thought.
In his hand was the remains of a mana stone bomb.
How far did you read in an instant?
With an incomprehensible expressionless expression on his well-groomed face, he slowly opens his eyes.
“You shouldn’t have died like this, right? Aricia.”
Kwa-ang!
At the same time as he said that, a large stone was launched from Reina’s side toward the sky with tremendous force. To lay
Even if it is the size of a normal human being, it is obvious that it would have been crushed, but the woman who walks out from under it looks fine, similar to Reina.
“Haha? What are you saying out of the ordinary. Little boy?”
“I thought it would be nice if you died with the one I just had. After all, it doesn’t come easily.”
“What is it? You really aren’t a cute kid. But a kid.”
Aricia, who was talking playfully, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
At the same time, sharp tension like a blade threatens Reina in an instant.
“Isn’t this what you guys did?”
“No way. Even a gorilla would know it if you looked around, right?”
“Go… Gorilla?! Would you call me a gorilla again?”
As the dust clears, Aricia’s eyes come into view of her surroundings.
What can be seen among the piles of dirt and rubble are countless corpses of soldiers dressed in two types of clothing. The number looks the same on both sides.
“Sheesh. There’s no way you hypocrites who care so much about life would have planned a strategy like this…”
“And there’s no way you guys have the brains to come up with a plan like this.”
“What? A cheeky kid..!”
At that moment, while glancing at Aricia, who was in a fit of rage, Reina put her hand to her mouth.
The sound of footsteps in the dark. Considering its size, it is quite a number.
Soon, countless yellow eyes emerge from the darkness one by one.
“These are… Orcs? Could they be traps…?!”
“The orcs planted bombs and set traps? That can’t be the case. I don’t think they have the intelligence to do so… Even if the orcs had the intelligence to set traps, look at these wreckage. With the mana stones embedded here Looking at it, it looks like a bomb that was made to explode using mana stones, but I’ve never heard of a bomb made with mana stones in the west of the continent, although I’ve heard that there are mana stone bombs in the empire in the east of the continent… Not even me It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this in real life. There’s no way an orc made something like this, that is…”
“In other words…?”
“Are you not thinking at all?”
“Ha ha. You guys are specialized in such troublesome things.”
“Ha. It’s you. …Meaning someone gave the orcs bombs and plotted this. I never thought of it, but it’s fair to say that someone who isn’t an orc is in command of these orcs, isn’t it?”
Reina said that while looking into the darkness. I don’t know if it’s intuition or her ability, but I know exactly where I am.
Clap clap clap
I clapped my hands and slowly appeared behind the orcs.
It is a reunion with the female heroes who have been waiting for 5 years.
“As expected, it’s surprising, Sir Reina.
“Illegal Cain…!”
“But Lord Reina’s information update is a bit slow. These days, I’m called the Kirin or Cain of the Principality of Vinland.”
“I’ve heard rumors that you’re alive… But to think that trash like you is called a giraffe after five years… And these orcs…?! What the hell have they done?”
“Do you know someone?”
“…? Aricia, you’re the man you almost killed in the last battle, aren’t you?”
“Huh? Was there a guy like that?”
Aricia tilted her head. I almost lost my reason for a moment at that expression of ignorance.
Kwadeuk Kwadeuk.
I barely resisted the urge to run out and grab him by the collar as I bit my molars so hard that they broke.
After today, even if you want to forget, I will make it unforgettable..!
“Haa… You still have no interest in anything other than the strong. You.”
“Thank you for the compliment, kid.”
“That’s not a compliment! You gorilla!”
Aricia and Reina seem to be joking around leisurely despite being surrounded by orcs.
However, if you look closelyIt is not.
Eyes that look around slightly while talking.
Right foot with power.
The posture of holding the handle of the sword with the right hand would be to be able to draw the sword at any time and deal with it.
I spoke casually, pretending not to know the tense atmosphere.
“The two heroes have been very active in the past.”
Yes.
While I was miraculously resurrected from this ruin and prepared for my revenge, the prestige of these heroes was much higher than it was five years ago.
Reina Astraea.
She fought numerous battles in the Second Great War of Astray-Fenrir and won many of them, cementing her reputation as a genius strategist.
Among them, the most famous anecdote is the “Battle of the Witch’s Canyon”, Which led only about 1,000 soldiers and lured the 2nd Corps of Fenrir Kingdom, which numbered close to 5,000, to an advantageous terrain and inflicted near-annihilation damage.
However, it is not as a strategist that she is now famous in the west of this continent.
After World War II, Reina donated all of her property, including the bounty money given to her for her devastated country, and since then, she has been traveling around the country without rest with the Knights of Light, volunteering for her damage recovery. Have been doing
The people of Astraea, seeing her helping her regardless of the nobles and nobles, never once disobeyed her words, “The people can’t rest in peace, but there is no knight who can lie down with her feet stretched out.” They praised her, calling her “The saint of her country salvation”.
With her beauty and noble behavior, as if an angel descended from her sky, she now has a popularity comparable to that of the current king, King Vincent, and is called by the people as the number one candidate for the next king.
Reina Astraea.
She is also just a stupid hypocrite. She is a bitch who is intoxicated with her good self who helps the people and does justice… Heung. Really youLet me teach you what
By comparison, Aricia Weinberg’s name had become famous in a different way.
The fact that the Kingdom of Fenrir was able to fight evenly against the Knights of Light, which moved in an unusual way according to Reina’s strategy, was due to Arisia’s force.
The incident in which Aricia, who fell into Reina’s trap at the end of World War II and was isolated, single-handedly beat 3 of her knights and 50 of their subordinates, and escaped laughing while covered in their blood, is so famous that no one in both countries knows about it. .
Arisia is the motif of the fairy tale 『The Red Goblin Catching Bad Children』, Which is now told to children who are not listening in the kingdom of Astraia.
Another anecdote in which Aricia became fully established as a symbol of terror occurred shortly after the truce of World War II.
Returning to Fenrir, Alicia was bombarded with requests for a duel aiming for the position of corps commander.
A person who seeks a gap weakened by fatigue from the aftermath of the Great War.
Who thinks her reputation is exaggerated.
She is the one who thinks it is her fault for not winning the Great War.
A person whose head was filled with greed for the position of commander of the 1st Corps.
The number is at least 13 people.
And a word from Aricia about those duel requests.
“Ah? How many? How are you? Hey~ This is really, really annoying… Tell the minnows. Just hit me all at once.”
In an unprecedented 13-to-1 duel that took place in the arena of Heartway, the capital of Fenrir Kingdom, Alicia took 6 casualties and 5 seriously injured, and it is said that she won overwhelmingly.
In that duel, the fearless, laughing ghost-like appearance was imprinted on the residents of Heartway, and the rumors spread over and over again, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in the western continent who does not know about 『The Devil in the Red Hat』.
Aricia Weinberg.
A cheeky bitch who dares to go wild with female subjects without knowing how high he is. A bitch like you who has an empty head but big breasts Original useLet’s teach the body what it is.
Reina and Aricia, who wrote the legend in the present progressive form, are now besieged by more than 30 Orcs and are unable to move.
Considering that one orc had a force comparable to that of three soldiers, their current situation was as if they were surrounded by 100 soldiers alone.
Besides, the match between Reina and Aricia today had been going on since morning.
Both of them must have been tired to the point of exhaustion, even though they were putting on a nonchalant face on the outside.
Now, my turn is over. How many heroes will come out?
Exhilarating pleasure as if playing chess.
I looked at Reina as if urging the next move.
