Chapter 6.1

The girl was twitching her nose .





Even if he heard that she was trying to scent out whether there were enemies hidden in this fog or not, Cyril wouldn’t be surprised anymore . He had already understood that Lampito was a girl outside the scope of his common knowledge in various senses .

Euchemard, who had gotten onto a two-horse chariot, stared in the direction where Delbrück should be in an imposing stance supported by his sword without sitting down . Large number of soldiers were lined up orderly at his front, back, left and right .

「…If possible, I don’t want to destroy that town too much though」

The mutter of Euchemard wasn’t particularly because he sympathised with the town’s inhabitants . Of course, he didn’t intend to idly torment people, but matters after winning were probably in the mind of the brave general with long military service .

After getting Delbrück to surrender according to plan, Euchemard’s party would fight a defensive battle against the Haiderota’s reinforcement, which would come closing in intermittently, based in Delbrück this time . In that case, it was a self-evident truth that it was easier to defend when the town’s damage was small .

「If I remember correctly, I heard that there are plazas, which also serve as markets, in the north and south of Delbrück . After gaining total control of the town, if we promptly bring in and install the trebuchets again at the south plaza, we might be able to cause serious damage to the reinforcement, which will come closing in」

「After all, if it’s that town, we’ll have as many stones as we like…」





「Hai」

「Nevertheless…」

Euchemard shifted his gaze upwards .

Although it was blurred because of the fog, a silhouette that gave one the impression of a big tree whose leaves and branches were cut off towered in front of Cyril’s party . Looking up at the top, Euchemard smiled slightly .

「Is the one defending this place that youngster who is Remi Christian’s cousin?」

「Yes . It’s Sigibert Duevre, who had a narrow escape the other day」

「For that kind of youngster to even come intruding again without Ballesteros… does he intend to vindicate his reputation, or is Remi Christian simply feeble-minded… in any case, it’s worth seeing when they’ll notice this…」





「It’ll be excellent if we can end this before they notice though」

「Certainly… it’s not too late even from now; however, it’d save us the trouble if they surrender」

「U?」


At that moment, Lampito, who was leaning against Cyril’s bottom and facing the rear alone, raised her face as if she had noticed something .

「—Your Highness!」

Before long, an orderly soldier riding a horse came from the front and informed Euchemard’s party .

「It seems that sounds of horns could be heard from the direction of Delbrück!」

「…It looks like that youngster wants to fight with me at any cost…」





「Isn’t that better than a castle siege battle, which is no different to mere work, for Your Highness as well?」

「However, don’t be too happy . —You must render military service too, you know?」

「Ha」

Within the whole army that had begun to move slowly, the chariot Euchemard was riding also started running .

「—As soon as the preparations are complete, commence throwing . No need to think about aiming at the enemies who will come out attacking from the town!」

Cyril, who had seen Euchemard off, straddled a horse together with Lampito and encouraged the combat engineers operating the trebuchets .

「—They’ll eventually fear the sound of the stone bullet cutting through the wind and lose their fighting spirits! Don’t let up on throwing stones at all until then! At the same time, we mustn’t allow the enemy to get close! If we do so, victory is ours! The time to take a big step towards engraving our names in history together with Euchemard-denka has come!」

The combat engineers and also the soldiers guarding the trebuchets thrust their fists up high to the sky simultaneously at Cyril’s loud voice .

「Yururogu banzai! Euchemard-denka banzai!」

The cheers of thousands of soldiers shook the sky, which was filled with fog . To cheer them up even more, Cyril held his sword up over his head and galloped the horse .

「Victory to our army! Death to the usurper of Aurillac!」

While saying a phrase that was ordinary but for the purpose of raising the soldiers’ morale, Cyril incidentally looked down at Lampito .

For this girl who was opening her mouth wide and looking up at him, she most likely wouldn’t understand the feelings of them, who fought for their motherland, even if she took a whole life .

After all, Lampito probably didn’t have a hometown .
