Chapter 422 When I followed Fiona’s gaze, I could spot a blue and white colored flag fluttering on top of the cliff . The motif drawn there had a sword, a shield, and a dragon . I am not really used to it but I do know that that was Avalon’s national flag .
However, I don’t know what squad they were . “You are quite knowledgeable about this, huh, Fiona?”
“I just heard it at a lecture . ”
Now that she mentions it, I do feel like I heard something similar at a lecture . After all, I feel like I have heard the 1st dragoon squad “Dragon Heart” somewhere .
It seems Fiona is much more capable when it comes to academic performance . My results weren’t bad in high school but I wasn’t the first at anything either . As I thought, Fiona is a genius, eh?
“I had heard that we will receive some reinforcements from Avalon but… hmm, I see, it certainly is better to send the elite dragoon squad rather than a lot of soldiers . ”
With the Pegasus Knights being the first sight of flying knights for me, they certainly are very strong and rare . Sure, Avalon didn’t send a large army but judging from the fact that they sent their treasure, it does seem like they do have the intention of supporting Spada .
“The Crusaders will probably also implement quite a lot of flying military this time . So it is certainly reliable having a soldier to go against that, even if it’s a few . ”
“Lily is also here!”
“No, it will be fine if we just leave it to Spada and Avalon’s military . We, the Element Masters, will be able to fight together this time . ”
Although it is still just scheduled to be that way . I pray that an emergency situation like that time when Lily had to fight a flying horse knight doesn’t happen again .
“I hadn’t been of any use during the Last Rose subjugation so I will definitely do a lot this time . ” “Lily will do her best so you can praise Lily a lot, Kurono!”
“Thank you for your reassuring words . I will also do my utter best—”
I will show the Crusaders hell .
Now then, the preparations to meet the enemy has been fulfilled . All we need to do now is wait for the enemy to come .
“–Ah, it’s already getting dark . . ”
Before we realized, the sky had already started getting red . Soon, this Galahad fort will also get dark .
I wonder how many days it will be from now till the fort is dyed red with fresh blood .
Till the time comes, I just have to quietly wait here .
16th day of the month of Gloom . Early morning .
With the rising sun as its background, one Pegasus was flying with an air of composure .
Beneath it lied a snowscape . Even the verdant grass-covered plains were now under a thick layer of snow and the deep green forest had also lost its color .
The flying Pegasus’ hair was also not any less whiter than the snowy landscape . No matter who looks at it, they will surely agree that it’s beautiful .
However, the one mounted on its back was even whiter . Her long silver hair glistened like silk threads and her holy priest robes fluttered in the wind .
Her skin was so white as if it wouldn’t allow any kind of impurity .
“… . We’re here . ”
Her mutter mixed with a sigh disappeared into the air leaving behind only a white breath .
The girl slightly pulled on the reins to command her horse to stop . Correctly understanding his master’s command, the horse flapped its beautiful yet strong winds and descended from a high altitude at once .
And its destination was a huge deep black boorish looking structure .
The structure, which had been built not to defend, but to attack, looked way more colder than the snow .
And then, the girl got off the pegasus .
“–7th Apostle Sariel, welcome to Alsace fort!”
The ones greeting her were the entire army of the fort, lined up systematically in front of the main gate . They were wearing white equipment to blend in with the snow but a group of 5000 men did stand out .
Still, Sariel’s small body shone even among that group of 5000 .
Translations by AsianHobbyist . com Website . Stop reading at pirate sites that steals translations . Check novelupdates . com for legit fan translations The act of the 7th apostle Sariel, supreme commander of the Crusaders, descending from the heavens was nothing short of sublime . In front of her beautiful young girl like appearance, all the soldiers prostrated and caught their breath . The young men soldiers’ eyes glittered as they saw her . The young woman soldiers forgot all about jealousy as they admired her beautiful face . And the veteran officers just let out a breath of admiration .
“… . Raise your heads . Report the situation . ”
Sariel had gotten off of the pegasus like an angel’s feathered rose slowly touching the ground . The soldiers then remembered their duty .
A young man wearing gaudy silver armor came hurriedly running along . He was the Count Belgunt and was the general in charge of Alsace fort .
“Pardon me, your Excellency, Sariel! I lead the 8th squad of Belgunt allied forces—”
While the name did stay in Sariel’s mind, she probably wouldn’t ever call it .
The reason why she came to this place despite it being midwinter was only to watch over the battle with the enforced Galahad fort . She doesn’t plan to interfere needlessly by brandishing her authority as the supreme commander .
“It seems the main army has already departed . ”
“Yes! The main army has departed from Alsace fort on the 24th of the month of Frozen Soil . As you can see, because of the steep roads and the blizzard, it taking them some time to proceed while securing the road . ”
Even though she hadn’t asked that much, the nephew general went ahead and gave a careful explanation on how they were maintaining the snow-covered roads while advancing .
It would be a serious matter if an apostle were to find fault in them . He is also probably desperate to earn their approval and make them understand .
Although, no matter how sloppy or careless the plan is, Sariel probably won’t interfere either way . With no way of knowing the silent apostle’s true intentions, the general kept earnestly piling up useless explanations one after the other .
“–As such, we predict that uncle—excuse me, his Excellency Belgunt general, will begin attacking Galahad fort today or tomorrow . ”
As the long explanation finally came to an end with a conclusion, Sariel suddenly stopped her feet . As it was so sudden, the young man took a step back and stumbled .
His foolish appearance wasn’t reflected in Sariel’s crimson eyes . Her gaze was fixated on the calm towering Galahad fort way far away in the distance, underneath the cloudless blue sky .
“… . It has begun . ”
Nobody could ask ‘what?’ . However, hearing her mutter, everyone of them could guess more or less .
Sariel didn’t speak any further . She had no obligation to explain . It is enough as long as she understands .
She had just sensed that the fight between the Crusaders and the Spada army had just begun using her super senses which apostles have .
“I will go, make preparations . ”
“Preparations… . ?”
He asked this time . Because this time, her words seemed to be directed to him .
“Preparations . ”
“Y-yes… We are already prepared to welcome you and if you are tired, there’s also a room ready for you to rest…”
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website . Not knowing what her ‘preparations’ mean, he just had a perplexed expression as he tried to get to the truth . Being stared at by those crimson eyes, the young man started to sweat .
“Later is fine . ”
The silent girl decided to abandon any further explanations without hesitation and went into action .
She past through the Alsace fort front gate once again and went outside . In front of her was the 5000 Crusader soldiers in a standing formation . She took quiet steps and started walking by the castle walls .
Just when everyone was wondering exactly where she was headed, Sariel stopped once again .
“U-umm, is something… there?”
He finally asked after leaving ample in between . Sariel slowly turned around, still having that doll-like expression and clearly said,
“I will, draw a magic circle, here . ”
What magic and for what purpose? Only Sariel knows that . And she probably won’t explain either .
And so, to them, it was literally ‘Heaven knows’ .
However, if it’s something an apostle does, there’s no mistake in it . It is most definitely an action parallel with the divine will .
If so, then what Sariel is doing now will surely bring victory to us Crusaders—that’s how everyone interpreted the situation .
However, the person himself didn’t want to use it if possible, in contrast to what they were thinking .
The magic circle she will draw now . If the time comes when she has to use that magic, then most probably–
