As blood splattered, Robin swung his sword to the right.
"Break out from the enemy's left flank! I'll open the way! Ignore the small fries and follow me closely!”
When they finally managed to pass through the enemy heavy armored cavalry, the heavy armored infantry was already waiting in formation at the rear.
The archers were also ready to attack. Taking the initiative to charge into that place was the most foolish choice.
The reason Robin chose to break through from the left flank was to avoid this.
His decision wasn't wrong. If he wanted to break out of the encirclement on the battlefield, he had to be ruthless and abandon most of the soldiers.
The messenger quietly watched Robin's back as he fought alone.
"He really has a body full of martial arts that makes it a pity to kill him.”
The messenger's men stepped on the heads of the fallen knights of Robin's camp and crushed the infantrymen who could not escape in time.
Originally, the difference in numbers was already like the difference between heaven and earth. In addition, the casualties on the emissary's side were few. The war would end soon.
When the one-sided killing operation began, three warhorses came to the side of the messenger.
The cavalrymen who got down from their horses placed their hands on their chests and knelt on one knee.
"About twenty enemies have broken through. Kill all the remaining soldiers without leaving a single one alive, is that okay?”
"As you wish. How are our casualties?"
"The princess has not been found among the dead enemies. In addition, regarding our side's casualties, one centurion and twelve heavy cavalrymen are known to have died. The number of heavily injured and lightly injured is currently being urgently confirmed.”
"Is that so? The casualties are really not small."
"Should we pursue?"
" No need. Let them go. They're all wounded and disabled. They'll probably die under the bandits 'attacks before they enter Count Koda's territory.”
"Can we not capture the princess?"
"The princess is not among them, so there is no need to pursue.”
"But it's also possible to disguise…"
"The princess is not that smart."
"If that's the case, where is the royal woman?”
After a moment of silence, the messenger said,"
"It should be the Egyptian territory. She might have already crossed the Black Mountain.”
"Then, are we also going to Egypt's Ao territory?”
"No, if we act in a bigger formation, we will definitely be noticed. Disband the army!"
"Yes, sir."
The envoy shifted his gaze away from the soldiers who were bowing in greeting. Under his hood, his bright eyes stared at the Albis Mountain Range as if he was chasing prey.
The central city of Lord Kedar's territory, Berlin, was a strange town that had both grassland and desert terrain.
The residents lived in different districts according to their ranks. The northern grassland area was the upper-class citizen. The desert area in the south was for the lower-class citizens.
The manor of Lord Luthor Gil Kedar was located in the North Borough. The exterior walls of the mansion were white, and an octagonal attic protruded from the center. The roof was tilted in all directions.
The two-story wooden mansion stood on a high ground overlooking the city. It had the taste of a noble family. In front of the iron gate in the middle of the high walls surrounding the mansion, a man was lying there.
The guards on the left and right quickly rushed forward to take a look.
"Hey, hey! What's wrong with you?"
"He's seriously injured!"
The faces of the soldiers who had flipped the man over turned ashen.
The man was covered in wounds and blood. Although it had been killed, it was obvious that it was newly infected.
The soldiers couldn't help but feel impressed that he was still alive.
The man suddenly grabbed the soldier.
"Please, please inform Lord Koda immediately!”
"Oh, hey! Although I don't know what happened, let go first!”
"You're injured, so stop moving!”
His well-trained arms had extraordinary strength.
Even though the two soldiers tried to pull him away, the man still held on tightly.
"B-Please! I'm Robin Giltaton…I'm a retainer of Lady Arielle Fron Lisa…Please, inform the Earl for me!”
"I, I know, let go! I'll go and report it now!"
"Please…There's no time…"
The two soldiers looked at each other in dismay.
They didn't have time to verify the authenticity. If it was a lie, the consequences would be unimaginable, but if it was the truth, he did not know what punishment he would receive.
After determining that the situation was not something he could handle, the soldier who was captured by Robin hurriedly said,
"Hey! Quickly report to the garrison captain!"
Another soldier who tried to pull Robin away nodded and got up to run to the mansion. The garrison captain, who sensed the abnormality, immediately rushed out of the door. As soon as the captain approached Robin, he gently patted his shoulder.
"Count Koda wants to see you. So, can you let him go?"
The two of them looked at each other. After that, Robin let go of the soldier and sat on the ground paralyzed.
"Please…Her Highness Aurora is in danger.”
"Alright, I know. Before that, you have to receive treatment first.”
The garrison captain added,"Send Lord Robin to the infirmary.”
Robin was carried to the infirmary by two soldiers.
In the infirmary, a man who was already waiting there immediately said when he saw Robin,"
"Although I really want to exchange greetings, please explain the situation.”
The man should be Lord Koda. Just as Ellie described, he had a gentle and beautiful appearance.
Robin was placed on the bed and began to explain as he received the doctor's treatment.
"Among the 150 people…I am the only one who survived.”
Robin's words were filled with regret.
After breaking through the siege on the battlefield, the injured soldiers died on horseback one after another.
A leak in the house came with the rain of the night, and on the way there was a thief attack. How long could the exhausted humans fight? When Robin crossed life and death situations again and again, his vision began to blur, and he realized that he was alone.
After listening to Robin's narration, Lord Koda's expression was distorted with grief.
"Is that so? Thank you for your hard work. Although I really want you to have a good rest now…"
Lord Koda paused for a moment, shook his head, and handed a letter to Robin.
"I received this yesterday."
Robin took the letter with a puzzled expression.
"This is…"
After reading the letter, Robin looked at Lord Koda with pleading eyes.
"There seems to be an army of two thousand. However, don't worry, I won't do anything to betray my niece.”
"But…this situation…"
"Of course I know about the 'Maiden War God'. Although this was the border, he still heard this name often. I might not be able to catch up to him. Moreover, even if he wanted to make a statement to His Majesty, His Majesty was currently on an expedition.”
"Then, do you intend to hand over the princess?”
"Didn't I say it before? I won't do anything to betray my niece. After all, she was just a memento left behind by her sister.”
"If the enemy has two thousand soldiers, how many soldiers can you gather?”
"It would be fine if it was an area at war, but this place is isolated from war. Lord Koda's territory only had 3,000 soldiers. Even so, it was impossible to gather them all at once. Moreover, there was no time left... perhaps a thousand people would be able to do it.”
"This is not enough…"
Her opponent was just a " Maiden God of War." Even if the enemy's military strength was small, she would not let her guard down.
He would definitely use all his strength to completely defeat them. This could be proven through her battle experience.
"I will definitely resist until His Majesty returns. Even if the opponent was the "Goddess of War" that everyone feared.”
"When will His Majesty return?”
"I received good news five days ago. He and the First Prince should be on their way back now. I've already sent someone to deliver the order, but it'll take at least five days…at least three days. Before that, he could only try to avoid defeat.”
"Won't we lose…"
"That's right. According to the scout's report, the enemy was currently leaving Apollo Village and heading south towards the Gulore Plains.”
"In other words, the final battle will be held at the Gulore Plains?”
After Robin finished speaking, Lord Koda nodded.
"The enemy's target should be Egypt's Ao territory. However, I won't let them succeed. First, he had to hold them back at the Gulore Plains.”
"Then I'll go with you!"
"No, please bring 200 soldiers to the capital of Aalut to welcome Aurora. That place might not be impregnable…but the most important thing now was to stall for time. Whether it was a city-sealing battle or any other method, they had to try.”
Yalut was a capital city built near the border with Egypt's Ao territory. As there had been no war for many years, the regular army did not even have a hundred men. Moreover, the facilities were old and not perfect for the capital.
Lord Koda was praising peace too much. However, Robin had no intention of blaming him. After all, it was normal to have such armaments. Lord Koda did not fill his own pockets. Instead, he used the funds on the people.
"I'm sorry. If I was more reliable, things wouldn't have turned out like this.”
"No, it's me who dragged all the trouble to rely on you. That's why I want to apologize to you.”
There was no one else who had brought the troublesome " hot potato " here-it was Robin!
If he wanted to keep his current position, he just had to hand over the princess.
Even so, Lord Koda still decided to fight.
Robin was already very grateful that he was willing to help in this battle that had no chance of winning.
"I'm sorry…"
"The princess will definitely say the same thing, so please raise your head.”
"Would she say that to me? Thank you.”
Lord Koda raised his head, but then lowered it again.
Since Lord Gilinda still did not look up, Robin decided to change the topic.
"Then, what should we do next?”
"Once the soldiers are gathered, we will set off immediately.”
"Then I'll leave it to you. I must go and welcome the princess…"
"I will send someone to the capital of Yalut to pass on the message. I'll leave Aurora to you."
"I understand. The next time we meet,"
Robin extended his hand.
Lord Koda smiled and shook his hand.
"Yes, let's reunite with Aurora.”
"Alright, it's a deal."
Just like that, after they made an agreement to meet again, they began to act in order to carry out their respective missions.
Twenty-four kilometers away from the Gulore Plains, the Third Kingdom's army had set up camp.
The sight of hundreds of tents could only be described as spectacular.
In a black tent in the middle of the camp, a man and a woman sat across from each other across a table.
The man first tilted his head and then looked at the girl who was reading.
"Divine Eye?"
"Yes, I am. Does Minister Aziz know?"
"Of course I know. It was one of the world's three secret eyes. Even the Long-Ears, who were known for their longevity and knowledge of destiny, did not possess it. Since ancient times, the only one who possessed it was the second emperor.”
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Zi continued,
"Ah, right. Speaking of the Long Ears, there seemed to be one among the First Prince Bell's advisors.”
"Yes, I've talked to that person several times. I heard him talk about the Divine Eye during our conversation.”
"With their longevity and knowledge, they must know a lot of things.”
"It was a very meaningful conversation. According to the Long Ears, the divine eye could see through heaven, earth, and people, and control the battle. It was simply an absurdly strong Eye of Defiant.”
"Could this be just a joke? I don't think human eyes have such power…"
Zi shrugged in disbelief. However, he immediately put on a serious expression. Because Ola was puffing her cheeks in displeasure.
"There is no doubt about the existence of the Divine Eye. The War God is the best evidence. More importantly, this matter came from the mouth of the Long Ears, who never lied. It was quite credible. Doesn't Minister Aziz believe me?"
Although he didn't dare to deny Ola's words, he still couldn't believe it. Therefore, Azi carefully chose his words so as not to anger Ola,"
"It's hard to believe for a moment. If that was the case, wouldn't tactics and strategies become meaningless? After all, victory was in the hands of others. Just looking at it with the eyes would not yield any gains.”
"You're right. It was humans who controlled astronomical phenomena, humans who stood on the ground, and humans who controlled people's hearts. If he just watched, he would be no different from a mere bystander. Even so, I still sincerely hope that the Divine Eye really exists.”
After Ola finished speaking, her gaze fell on the map spread out on the table.
