Chapter 24 - A Leap in Line

Against the 5,000 Gandian troops deployed to the south of the Balcer Plains, the total number of Logner's troops deployed behind the Balcer Fortress was reported to be between 6,000 and 7,000.

Logner's forces were in a formation that looked like a bird spreading its wings, apparently intending to surround and annihilate the outnumbered Gandian forces.

The Gandhian army, on the other hand, had divided its forces into four large groups and was forming a formation. Leon Gand was directly in charge of the elite troops, led by the Kingsguard, and this was the leading group.

Next, the troops commanded by Halberg Reus-Lucion, the First Prince of Lucion, were located right behind the elite troops. The troops under the command of Gilbert Hardy, the assault general of Mion, are just behind the lead group. Finally, a group of more than two hundred mercenaries, including Setsuna and Faria, were to the left rear of Leongand.

The enemy forces are overwhelming us in numbers. What do you intend to do?

Algazad-Balgazar's somewhat aloof voice rang pleasantly in Leongand's ears.

Algazad is one of the leading generals of Gandia, and is said to be one of the best in defensive warfare. His good-natured appearance had not changed at all since Leongande was a child, and even Leongande was amazed at it.

With his magnificent white hair, the many wrinkles on his ever-smiling face, and his long beard, it was no wonder that he was called the White Master.

Leongando felt reassured by the old general's ever-present smile, even on the battlefield, and returned his gaze to the front. The expression on Leongando's face must be the same as usual. He was aware of this fact and chuckled in his heart.

(I'm floating, though.)

It is no wonder.

This battle was Leongande's first campaign. For more than twenty-six years since he was born into the royal family of Gandia, he had been deprived of the opportunity to stand on the battlefield. He had been deprived of the opportunity to stand on the battlefield for more than twenty-six years, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say forbidden.

It was a strict order from his father, the great previous king, Siuscloud.

"You shall not fight until you have succeeded to the throne.

Even now, it was a difficult lesson to understand, but Leongande concluded that the heroes had their own ideas and tried not to think too much about it. No matter how much he pondered, he would never get an answer. It was a waste of time to think about it.

Anyway, it might be an irony of fate that his younger sister, Linonclair, had to stand in the battlefield in place of him who was forbidden to fight.

Linonclair, who had completed her first battle in her mid-teens and had experienced countless battles since then, was hailed as Gandia's warrior princess, while Leongand, who was not allowed to fight, was denounced as Gandia's swine.

Leongande, however, did not have the delicate mental structure to be hurt by mere verbal abuse. In the first place, he was just doing what he had to do. He was just running around Gandia in order to fulfill his mission.

He didn't care if people thought he was playing around. However, the fact that the result was that people's minds were turned off and many of them despaired when he ascended to the throne, he could not help but be disappointed.

"Let's go as planned, whether we do this or not.

Leonghand replied lightly, and raised his treasured sword, Glass Orion, above his head. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

The glow of his sword raised above his horse could have been seen by anyone in the lead group of the Gandian army.

"Forward!

With a command, Leonghand swung the tip of his sword down as if to thrust it at the enemy army.

"Let's go, you bastards!

Sigurd's roar roared through the mercenary group just as the lead group, led by Leongando, began to march toward the enemy lines.

It was not a groan that ran through the mercenaries. It was the instinctive shouting of the fierce soldiers who were trying to get as much prize money as possible for their war efforts.

(That's awesome ...!

Setsuna was surprised and moved by the earth-shaking shout. Perhaps this is what it means to have your soul tremble. People from different backgrounds and backgrounds were now united towards a single goal.

"Setsuna, don't let your guard down.

Faria's words brought Setsuna to her senses. This was no time to be impressed. The mercenary troops were already on the move. Setsuna, who had somehow blended into the front of the group, had to move forward.

However, her body had already reacted and started moving unconsciously. However, if she was not conscious, she would not be able to keep up with the speed of the mercenaries' advance and would be left behind.

The man in the lead was moving very fast, if not at full speed. The entire army had no choice but to be pulled along with him. There was no way to break the formation, and no way to let him take all the credit for the battle. Of course, if the one leading the charge was just a fool blinded by the prize, there would have been no need to follow him.

(But I'm ...)

There was no need to rush. This is the first real battle, and in the midst of intense tension and intense excitement, there is no need to rush. Stay calm and don't lose yourself in the atmosphere around you.

The outcome of the battle is expected. That's why he was recruited by the king himself. In order to achieve war results. He wielded his summoned armament and defeated the enemy.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before. In the right rear is the figure of Faria. It's a great way to get the most out of your day. Setsuna could barely keep up with the speed of the group.

In the left foreground, you can see Sigurd Fortier and Jin Claire, followed by their subordinates, the members of the Blue Wind. The mercenaries other than Blue Wind were also running as fast as they could.

It's not that I don't like it, but it's not that I don't like it. His long sword flashed, and I saw a cloud of blood. I heard a scream. An angry voice drowned it out. Enemy soldiers rushed at Lux.

Several sword flashes cut Rognor's heavily armored infantrymen in half with their thick armor. A large amount of fresh blood spurted out, causing the battlefield to bloom madly with red flowers.

When Setsuna saw how many lives had been scattered in the blink of an eye, she couldn't help but be amazed.

(That's the sword demon Lux-Vein...!

With astonishment, Setsuna thrust her right hand forward. She shouted.

"Armed Summoning!

A complex, geometric pattern of light appeared on the surface of Setsuna's body. A torrent of light overflowed from within the pattern with explosive force.

In an overwhelming sense of openness, Setsuna watched as the light emanating from the pattern on her body converged in her right palm. As the light converged into a bar shape, it eventually revealed its distorted and disastrous identity.

The light disappeared, and what appeared in Setsuna's vision was a monstrous jet-black contraption. It was the weapon that had once defeated the Imperial Demon in that forest, the contraption that had struck down Lancain, and the armament that only Setsuna could summon.

(Let's go ... my pike!)

The moment he grasped the handle, Setsuna received a shock as if he had been hit by an electric current. The shock reached Setsuna's consciousness in an instant, tinting everything about him. His vision widened, his senses brightened. His strength surged and his body moved.

"What?

From behind him, he thought he heard someone scream. However, Setsuna understood that it was no longer the time to pay attention to such things.

In the front, Lux's solo stage continued, and in the center of the enemy camp, the battle between the elite troops led by Leongand and Logner's army had begun. From the rear, Mion's troops could be seen trying to follow, and Lucion's White Holy Knight Corps could be seen making a wide detour.

Then, Setsuna increased her speed. As soon as she overtook Sigurd in the lead, the enemy camp was right in front of her. By the time he summoned his pike, he must have already closed the distance considerably.

Surrounded by the corpses of a dozen or so soldiers, I could see that Lux was having some kind of a hard time attacking. The enemy soldiers must have considered Lux to be dangerous, and formed an encircling formation at a distance. Apparently, it was not easy for even Lux to attack the soldiers who were heavily armed and armored with large shields.

The first attack was probably successful because it was a raid. If they are aware of the danger, they may not be able to move carelessly.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. The contraption wanted to rampage. If so, he would have to wield its power. There was no hesitation. I kicked the earth and leapt forward into the enemy lines.

The eyes of countless enemy soldiers and Lux were all on Setsuna at once. A kind of pleasant feeling penetrated Setsuna's consciousness.

"Setsuna?

Lux's voice, heard as soon as she landed, was raised in surprise. But Setsuna didn't even look back.

Yes, Setsuna had landed in front of Lux. In front of her, there were countless enemy soldiers. I could somehow tell that the countless eyes behind the armor were aghast. I guess that's true. There were two idiots who had jumped into the enemy ranks alone.

Setsuna had a smile on the corner of her mouth. I don't know how evil it is. Then, as her instincts dictated, she swung the pike. Suddenly.

"Have you ever killed anyone?

It was Faria's question that flashed through Setsuna's mind. Why did she remember such a question at this time?

(Why?)

It was immediately after that she understood its meaning.

Suddenly, a fierce red lotus fire erupted from the tip of the spear.
