Interested in the One-Eyed Female General So I Joined the White Wolf Knight Order, but It Turned into a Harem?! - Chapter 64

Chapter 64

Shingen returned back to the town of York alone, still bloodied . The advance force of the Ardesil army was temporarily delayed thanks to his effort .

Ortashia who had irresponsibly left that task to him smiled in satisfaction .

Thanks to her, the strategy almost got botched, making the Banrondo army executives, Riru, and Mina to almost lose patience . Ortashia was the one who caused the incident . Riru, Mina and Elize waited near the town of York’s gate for Shingen’s return . Was she testing Shingen out or was it just something she did to kill some time, nobody knows . But seeing the lack of worry on her part, it’s most likely the latter . Or so they thought . Everyone was disgusted but afraid of angering the second princess, thus could only smile bitterly .

Mina, who was the most worried for Shingen, quickly ran to him when he became visible to them . She looked up at Shingen who was still on horseback .

[Are you alright? Did you get injured anywhere?]

Mina asked with a gentle, motherly tone of speech .

[I’m alright… . ]

Shingen got down from his horse, but Mina still egged him .

[Really? But that’s blood, isn’t it?]

He couldn’t really get used to his body getting touched by other like that after all . Embarrassed, Shingen’s face flushed red .

[No, this isn’t my blood . I’m okay . ]

Mina, who finally accepted that Shingen is alright, stroked her chest .

[Thank goodness…]

Ortashia who was watching the scene unfolding from the distance, laughed .

[There is no need to worry that much . ]

[……says the one who caused this . ]

Shrugging his shoulders, he muttered quietly and sighed . Ortashia ignored that, raising her eyebrows as she looked at the surroundings . The atmosphere immediately changed .

[―――――Now then, it’s about time for the enemy to arrive . Everyone, are you ready?]

Everyone who was there replied with voices full of tension . Ortashia nodded .

[Yosh, then first, there is no change to the schedule we’ve decided beforehand . I will reconfirm the deployment just to be sure . Julienne will take command of the archer team . ]

[Umu . I don’t usually do this kind of work, but I’ll do it!]

[Elize, you’ll be escorting Julienne . ]

[Nn, got it . ]

[Riru, Mina, you two will lead the ambush . Attack from the left and right side when the time comes . ]

[Yes!] [Roger that!]

[Shingen, you’ll be my escort . ]

[Yeah, leave it to me . ]

After confirming everything, Ortashia added more things while giving each of them a look .

[To be really honest, this will be a difficult battle . Someone will likely to die . However, this Ortashia will not back down even if any of you people die . Until the battle is over, please take care of yourself . We’ll mourn for the dead after the battle ended . ]

It was harsh . But nobody showed no disgust in their face . Everyone is prepared, they looked back at Ortashia with such faces . Acknowledging it, Ortashia turned around toward the Terraheim plains and walked forward while snorting a laugh, showing her back to everyone’s eyes . She then gestured with her right hand .

[Everyone, spread out!]

[ [ [ [ Yes!!] ] ] ]

Julienne and Elize, as well as the officers of the Banrondo army headed out to each of their designed areas of operation . Among the noises of footsteps, Riru and Mina hit their chest with their fist, speaking simultaneously .

[ [ We are the faithful servants of the Great White Wolf God . We will bring victory to the White Wolf Knight order―――――Fight bravely, bring no shame . Should the time come to die, please guide the fallen to the paradise they belong ――――――may the blessings of the White Wolf God be with you―――――― ] ]

Shingen asked Mina and Riru after they finished their chant .

[Will it be fine if I also chant it… . . ?]

Shingen had read a book about knights to a certain extent and knew that how they behave as knight differs based on which god they believe in to . But he’s not even an apprentice knight . He knew that already . Riru and Mina looked at each other . Riru spread her arms and shook her head .

[Well, I guess it’s fine . Not like it’s something that absolutely has to be done, right?]

Riru replied with a smile .

[Uhuh . It’s just our habit to do just that . So it’s fine . ]

[If you say so, but… . . ]

[You guys still remember about it, right?]

It felt painful somewhere . He wondered why . However, he felt stupid to actually think like that .

[Well, you couldn’t immediately be an official knight . First of all, you have to be an apprentice knight . We can teach you how to become a knight, but there is no need to rush now . I’m afraid you won’t be able to memorize everything though . Do your best, junior]

She said that while giving him a thumbs- up .

(ーーーーーThey already looked down on me……)

Meanwhile, he noticed Ortashia was talking to several White Wolf knights . She seemed to be giving detailed instructions as she pointed at various locations of Terraheim plains, which the knights replied with a nod .

From the little parts he listened to, he picked up something like oil being mentioned . It’s probably related to the strategy .

She’s aiming to win . But the knights were in an emergency state . Some were dripping cold sweat . Their morale worsened since they’re about to fight a force with much greater number than they are . Shingen ignored her for now and focused back to Riru and Mina while consulting the issue he felt just now .

[Will they be alright? I’ve never participated in a war before so I wonder if the strategy will actually work?]

It’s a strategy that Ortashia had decided to use .

[No idea, I was in doubt myself at first . But this strategy feels like something Maru-sama will come up with, so it’ll surely work . ]

Really? Shingen looked at Mina incredulously .
