Interested in the One-Eyed Female General So I Joined the White Wolf Knight Order, but It Turned into a Harem?! - Chapter 29

Chapter 29

In the darkness, a beast aimed at its prey with sharp eye breathlessly . Tongue poking out .

To be able to fight again, its body felt crazy even at the thought of it .

The town of York’s lord Gering felt uneasy from not being able to find Ortashia no matter how much he searched . There is a possibility that she went to Banrondo without passing the town of York, but the Fuhren Saint Knights did not want to miss the chance to catch her . But it’s all for naught . Where in the world has Ortashia gone to…

Gering groaned as he looked at the map showing the territory of the town of York . There was a sense of tension that the terrible existence, like that of the devil, is already there . But there is that territory near the capital Runatitas had promised to him . With all the productivity and convenience the territory near the capital could offer, he needed to capture Ortashia by all means necessary .

[Where on earth… . ]

A bald-headed aide replied to that question .

[At present, even though we already searched the nearby forest and caves that can be used to hide, we haven’t been able to find her . She should be heavily injured if we go by Fuhren’s Saint Knights information . Had she succumbed to exhaustion somewhere?]

[That Ortashia? She’s suspected as a witch so she can’t be dying so easily… . . ]

=====

A soldier was standing guard at the main gate outside the lord’s residence .

However, it’s not like anyone will come this late at night; demons or monsters are also very unlikely to appear . If something did come out, it will only be thieves . Therefore, it’s a boring duty .

The guard, looking up at the shining moon above, let out a huge yawn . The stars twinkled in the cloudless sky . He felt like drinking sake in this beautiful night . Two others gathered around the bonfire, talking to kill some time .

[The rumour about that Ortashia being here, is it true?]

It was said with a joking tone . A moustached guard crossed his arms and shrugged . He replied with a wry smile .

[Ha ? Yeah right . That can’t be true . Reduced security inside the town, funneling most to guard and inspect town walls, even those who work as officials . How can such a conspicuous woman enter without being noticed?]

[That’s true . ]

At that time, the wind blew a little stronger, causing the flame on the bonfire to dance energetically, grazing the two guards cheeks, passing their sides, then to the trees that grew in abundance . The two guards sent their glance following the wind’s direction .

[ What was that just now?]

[Dunno… . ]

The moustached guard narrowed his eyes . The noise of grass caught his attention .

[Who, who’s there !?]

The two guards readied their swords and threw the question but nobody gave a reply . But there is surely something in the dark, slowly approaching .

The guard who was guarding in the vicinity also readied his sword, alerted by the loud voice of the other guard .

[Is it an enemy?]

[No way . It couldn’t be just a stray dog, right?]

[Anyways, let’s confirm it . ]

One guard brought a torch to let the others see more clearly as he signaled the other guards . The two nodded and followed behind the guard with the torch .

Watching carefully to where the noise originated from, the torch was brought up front . Then… . . a woman was seen standing there . A dreary smile hanging on her face .

[Hiii!]

[Who, who the hell are you!? ]

One of the older guards asked . The woman looked suspicious .

[Who? You don’t know… . . ? Your excellency, your princess . Is that too hard to understand for a common soldier?] (Ortashia)

Once everyone realized who it was, they couldn’t help but feel a chill run down their spine . They backed off . There was one whose waist rejected to move and he fell on his butt . They understood who stood there in front of them . A young guard mumbled with a shaky voice .

[ O, Ortashia… . ]

The woman whose name had been called upon laughed then pulled out the sword that was hanging on her thin waist .

[Yes . This Ortashia has come to play with you… . To courteously entertain me is your duty, right? Come, I’d love to see it . Let’s perform a dance of death . ]

A shiver ran amok as Ortacia said those words like a murderer .

The old guard readied his sword .

[Ooooortashia! Prepare yourself! ]

The old guard let out a shout worthy of admiration .

[Hoo . Pointing sword a to this me? Very well . Do entertain me . ] (Ortashia)

Ortashia held her sword with one hand . The old guard attempted to swing down the sword from above, but Ortacia sank his body a bit and slashed his abdomen with a speed that the eyes couldn’t catch up with . Because it’s just leather armor, it split fairly easily . Two guards who followed also had their heads separated from the torsos in a blink of an eye . Blood poured out from the severed neck and some of it splashed on Ortashia’s cheek . She looked glad instead of feeling unpleasant . She inhaled deeply .

[The smell of blood after such a long time . My body is aching for it… . Fufufufu . ] (Ortashia)

Guards who had witnessed the swift death of their companions did not have courage to fight against Ortashia . It all happened very fast that it’s hard for the brain to process . Why did Ortashia appear here in such place? Everybody was wondering . All of them trembling, their feet too scared to escape . The rumour tells about how crazy Ortashia is… . A young guard whose face turned pale blue turned his back on Ortashia and ran to the gate . He beat the gate desperately, hoping for it to open up .

[Help me! She’ll kill me! I don’t want to die! ]

Fear spread and others quickly forsook their weapon and forced the gate, pushed it open and ran away .

[Turning your back to the enemy eh, I’m too busy for this . Always like this . Well, I guess there is no other way… . ? ] (Ortashia)

Ortashia said with a shrug . She noticed and walked toward a guard who was on his butt due to being too scared to move near the gate, bending her knees to kneel, then she looked into the man’s face .

[How was it? Was it scary?] (Ortashia)

He did not dare to look directly upon Ortashia due to fear . Mouth rejected to open either . The woman exhaled as she stood up, then pierced the thin sword into the man’s neck without hesitation

[Eh?]

[This country doesn’t need cowardly people . ] (Ortashia)

Ortashia looked down at the guard’s incredulous face . A young man tapped her shoulder .

[Now, let’s go ] (Shingen)

[Shingen, please do not disturb me . ] (Ortashia)

[You know, about battling: you said you can’t do it just yet . But you fought like normal just now . ] (Shingen)

When Ortashia was about to engage the old guard, Shingen had planned to interfere but was brushed off . There is no need to intrude . The remainder of the guards also . She might have gone and cleaned them up if not for Shingen stopping her .

[So what ? My body moved on its own . ] (Ortashia)

While saying so, she placed her hands on her waist, acting with bad attitude . Shingen scratched his head . Afterward, he took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood on Ortashia’s cheek .

[Oh, pardon me . ] (Ortashia)

Ortashia gave a thankful word and again turned her body towards the main gate of the lord’s residence .
