Desperate Measures
(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Gyah!” (Soldier)
“Guah!” (Soldier)
Without mercy, countless arrows assaulted, and the battlefield instantly turned into a hellish scene of screams and agony. Even the soldiers of Tyr, who carried shields, had unfortunate soldiers pierced by arrows through the gaps in their shields. Let alone the soldiers of the pursuing army, who were without shields, were pierced by arrows like hedgehogs and fell one after another.
“Bad, bad, bad, bad!” (Jeanne)
The moment she saw the arrows covering the sky, Jeanne, the 2nd Unit leader, quickly assessed the situation and immediately started to flee. She trampled over the fleeing soldiers with her horse, literally kicking them aside, desperately trying to get away from the battlefield.
“Ugh!” (Jeanne)
Numerous arrows also struck her back as she fled. Since she wore a sturdy armor, most of the arrows didn’t penetrate, but when they pierced the seams of the armor, intense pain shot through her.
*Hii-hiiin!*
Arrows also struck the horse she was riding. The horse, in intense pain, began to thrash about, going wild.
Before Jeanne could be thrown off, she quickly dismounted. Then, in a hurry, she pulled off the saddle and strapped it on her back, escaping on foot. The saddle conveniently covered her body, preventing further arrows from striking her.
“I, of all people… to retreat so pathetically… but what could I do? How was I supposed to predict such a desperate attack!?” (Jeanne)
Irritated, Jeanne muttered to herself, running desperately.
Around her, the groans of fallen soldiers and the sound of arrows falling created a dissonant, eerie symphony. Jeanne, in a hurry to escape, trampled over soldiers who called for help as she fled.
“Look! Our army’s great victory!!” (Tyr Soldier)
“The enemy soldiers are either falling or fleeing! They’ve learned their lesson!” (Tyr Soldier)
Amidst the arrows raining down, Tyr’s soldiers cheered as they watched enemy soldiers fall one after another. The enemy soldiers, who had almost cornered them, were now either lying on the ground or fleeing. It was a complete victory.
“We can go home. We can go back to Mikanda…” (Tyr)
Among the cheers of her allies, Tyr muttered quietly. He could hear arrows striking her shield that covered her back one after another.
“It’s time to stop the arrows…” (Tyr)
Tyr tried to give an order to his subordinate behind him, but his voice stopped midway.
Something was wrong. He felt a sense of discomfort in her line of sight. Tyr looked forward sharply.
Amidst the rain of arrows, all the enemy soldiers should have been fleeing with their backs turned. But one person alone was facing them. No, even more than that, that person was coming toward them.
“That’s…!” (Tyr)
With incredible speed, the rider spun a lance, deflecting all the falling arrows. It was Sanya, the 6th Unit leader.
“Tyr! The revenge for Alma and Martina!!” (Sanya)
Sanya, with a demonic expression, charged forward, and even Tyr’s usual composure was momentarily shattered.
Just as Jeanne was thrown into confusion by Tyr’s desperate attack, Tyr also couldn’t react to Sanya’s desperate assault.
The long spear is bad. I’ll block it with my shield. No. The rain of arrows from my allies hasn’t stopped. If I pull out the shield now, arrows will pierce my exposed back.
While Tyr’s mind raced through various possibilities, Sanya charged without hesitation. A moment’s hesitation proved to be fatal.
“Prepare yourself!!” (Sanya)
Sanya, approaching rapidly, thrust the long spear she had been swinging. At the speed of the horse, it would undoubtedly pierce Tyr’s body. However, being mounted, Tyr could not avoid it. He was, in essence, a stationary target.
“Ah, this is bad.” (Tyr)
Tyr let out a dull voice, which was not fitting for the situation.
The world seemed to slow down. Sanya’s long spear drew nearer. But Tyr’s body didn’t move. Suddenly, a shadow leapt in, and Sanya’s spear disappeared.
*Dosh!*
A beat later, a sound followed.
Tyr couldn’t believe her eyes. The scene before him was unbelievable.
“Ha…l…?” (Tyr)
Between Tyr and Sanya was Hal, pierced by the long spear.
