“Tyr!” (Jeanne)
Tyr, who was trying to leave the battlefield after rescuing the mercenaries, reflexively turned around to the sudden calling of his name.
What reflected in his vision was several thousand enemy soldiers.
“It really is Tyr! The enemy general is here!” (Enemy Soldier)
“Take him down!” (Enemy Soldier)
Several thousand rushed toward Tyr all at once.
“Wait!” (Jeanne)
A sharp voice restrained the soldiers.
From among the soldiers who opened a path, the one who appeared riding a horse was Jeanne. The two commanders faced each other at a slight distance.
“You, you really came back. Since you were about to escape successfully, you should have just abandoned a few mercenaries.” (Jeanne)
“I promised to return with everyone. Besides, even if they are mercenaries, abandoning subordinates goes against my aesthetics.” (Tyr)
“That is quite the admirable general.” (Jeanne)
Against Tyr, who answered boldly, Jeanne made a face of exasperation and spoke sarcastically. And then, she slowly drew her sword.
“But, the fact that you deliberately turned back has become your fatal mistake. You die here!” (Jeanne)
“Jeanne. Wait a moment.” (Tyr)
Tyr stopped Jeanne, who was just about to strike by kicking her horse forward.
“??” (Jeanne)
Not expecting to be told to wait, Jeanne stopped without thinking.
At Jeanne, who was watching with a suspicious face, Tyr slowly turned around and briefly commanded Hal.
“Shield.” (Tyr)
And then, he received a shield from Hal, who was behind him.
Looking closely, all of Tyr’s soldiers were holding shields.
“Bu… ahahahahaha!!!” (Jeanne)
Jeanne, who had been making a suspicious face, suddenly burst out as if unable to hold it in, then continued to laugh loudly.
Her subordinate soldiers also laughed loudly.
“Ah, sorry, sorry. I was rude to you all. But, try to understand my position. A person who was just talking about aesthetics and such with a serious face is now solemnly holding up a shield on horseback. There isn’t a single person who wouldn’t laugh at being shown such a scene! What’s with ‘shield’… pfft. Are you a battlefield beginner~?” (Jeanne)
Jeanne, who had laughed too much and had teary eyes, spoke while laughing loudly.
A person who held a shield was a coward. There were not a few military men who held such thoughts. Rather, it was the majority opinion. For such soldiers, while it might have been understandable for conscripted peasant soldiers, the sight of the supreme commander Tyr holding up a shield on horseback must have been incredibly amusing.
“Well then, Tyr-dono who holds a shield. May I attack first?” (Jeanne)
Jeanne, with a completely mocking expression, said in an exaggeratedly polite manner.
“Jeanne. Wait a moment. Wait just a little longer.” (Tyr)
As Tyr asked for just a little more time, he suddenly raised the shield backward.
In response, Tyr’s soldiers also did the same all at once. From behind, their heads and backs would likely be completely covered by their shields.
“What are they doing??” (Jeanne)
All of Tyr’s soldiers were moving their shields backward.
Is there something behind them that they need to be cautious of?
Not understanding the reason for their actions, Jeanne shifted her gaze to the rear of Tyr’s army. What she saw there was an enormous number of arrows approaching, enough to cover the sky.
“Sorry. I gave the order to ‘shoot us all dead’.” (Tyr)
Tyr’s voice was drowned out by the sound of falling arrows and the screams of the pursuit army’s soldiers.
