“What, what!?”
“It’s a surprise attack by the Kingdom Army! Everyone, wake up and respond!”
The inside of the Sabalun quickly became an abyss.
It was because of being unilaterally trampled by the kingdom army that had entered the interior.
Solstad and Yorgil’s troops tried to quickly gather and respond, but… … .
“Cuck!”
“Hey, these guys are strong!”
“Once we get together… … .”
Kwagwagwang-!
The magic bombardment from close range overcame them.
In addition, the fierce sword attack cut the bodies of the soldiers belonging to the giant family without difficulty.
“The Blue Lion and the Royal Palace Knights occupy District 1, and the Blue Bamboo and Yeokrang Team occupy District 2.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“The rest follow me.”
Everywhere I went, enemies fell like autumn leaves.
Although the internal defense was weaker than usual, it was easy to get hit.
More than that, the strength of the SS was overwhelming them.
When it reached the deepest part of the inner base, Leia, who had infiltrated first and slaughtered the enemy, approached.
“Your Highness, the enemies are giving up their defense and appearing to escape.”
“I guess I decided I couldn’t stand it. Which way are you heading?”
“It seems to be both the front line and the rear.”
“It means that you will somehow inform us of our betrayal.”
The front line was where the elite troops were out to hit Henrik, and the rear was where their main army was.
Trying to do both is going to be difficult.
“Leave the front lines alone.”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, you can miss them.”
It didn’t matter if information leaked out to the front line.
Once we’ve captured this place, we’ll go straight ahead and annihilate them.
“Inari.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“I’ll attach thirty black furnaces. Can you deal with those who fled to the rear with only the jeolsadae?”
“of course! Just leave it to me!”
* * *
Those who managed to get out of Sabalyun hurriedly got on their horses.
Strategically, we divided the destination into two places, the front line and the rear.
What they chose was the rear where the main army was located.
‘f*cking kingdom bastards… … ! How dare you put a knife in our backs without even knowing the subject!?’
It was Yorgil’s plan to destroy Henrik within three months.
After that, I was going to save up my strength through exchanges with the kingdom for a year, and see an opportunity to hit them… … .
This was a really unexpected situation.
‘No matter what, I have to inform the kingdom of betrayal so that I can save my allies on the front line.’
It was also a problem that their offensive against the Henrik family was in vain due to their surprise attack.
The biggest problem was the troops on the front line.
At this rate, we will be surrounded and unable to avoid annihilation… … .
‘Tsk, even if Henrik didn’t destroy all the roads, I would have used a combat Maga.’
It sucked to have to use a horse at such an urgent time, but there was no time to complain now.
Inform the army of this fact and urgently send reinforcements in order to save the allies.
“Lo, Mr. Rose! The Kingdom Army is pursuing!”
At the soldier’s words, he hurriedly turned around.
The Royal Army on horseback was chasing them there.
Rose figured out their numbers.
‘… … Is it about a thousand people? That’s a lot.’
He raised an eyebrow slightly involuntarily.
It was because he was convinced that he could escape from the kingdom army.
‘You fools! A thousand people accompanied in pursuit.’
Basically, it was stupid to use an entire unit to track down a runaway enemy.
I don’t know if they’re a search party… … .
From the looks of it, that wasn’t the case.
Due to the nature of the unit, which has to run while maintaining rank, it would be difficult to recklessly increase its speed.
‘I can safely escape with this, the distance is sufficient.’
After completing her judgment, Rose giggled and spoke to the soldiers.
“There is nothing to be afraid of! Do you think they can catch up with us? Never mind and run!”
“Rose-sama is right! It seems like they couldn’t catch us with a small number, so they must have recklessly brought a lot of soldiers.”
“Idiots, they say they have no war experience, so they can’t even make basic judgments like this!”
Dozens of fugitives laughed at the kingdom army proudly.
The sound was so loud that even the kingdom army chasing them could hear it.
Inari did not hide his displeasure.
“Lea, are they laughing at us right now?”
“It will be so, since the thousand soldiers are tracking while maintaining their ranks, it must be like that.”
“Hmm… … .”
Inari stared at them with her eyes narrowed.
Misunderstandings are free, but I couldn’t forgive Cruz’s act of laughing at the bodyguards.
“Never mind, Inari-sama. This side is riding a bima used by the river demons… … .”
“no! I can’t do it, I’ll have to take all of their heads.”
“… … .”

Leah showed her embarrassment by remaining silent, but Inari stared straight ahead, not caring.
Originally, I was going to attack after relaxing a little more, but… … .
‘Because attacking now doesn’t seem likely to fail.’
Inari Loft was undoubtedly talented and skilled, but was not recognized by the family due to his frivolous words and actions.
But I wasn’t particularly dissatisfied with it.
I was used to being pointed at and being shunned for being frivolous.
Cruz’s bodyguards also didn’t apply because they had great intentions.
As I said at the beginning, I only stabbed him once because I really liked his appearance.
It was good if it was, or not.
＜Are you the leader of the Corps?＞
＜Yes, I’m trying to make a unit that mainly uses bows. I want you to be the captain there.＞
I was a little surprised by the proposal, but I wasn’t too upset.
In fact, there was no warrior in the kingdom who could handle a bow as well as Inari.
What surprised her was what happened next.
＜I’ll set the scale at 1,000 for now. You will be my closest friend.＞
＜… … yes? Who is your closest friend?＞
＜Yes. You can think of it as a similar position to Leah, Hela, and Lahos.＞
＜Uh… … ＞
＜I want to join my personal elite unit, the Black Road, but there is no one else who can take on the Absolute Squad other than you.＞
＜… … ＞
＜Do you like it? I can’t help it if I don’t like it. ＞
＜No! I don’t hate it! Let me take it!＞
It is also the case that I entrusted the captain of the main unit, which is equivalent to 1/5 of the 5,000 Royal Guards.
The same goes for appointing him as one of his closest aides and introducing him to the queen.
For the first time in her life, Inari realized what emotion is.
I thought I was used to not being acknowledged because of my frivolous words and actions.
In fact, it was considered that way because it had never been acknowledged.
‘Um, I think marriage will be difficult because of your status… … Still, wouldn’t it be possible to have a concubine?’
That was enough of an opportunity to turn a vague crush into absolute loyalty.
Of course, it was a little different from what others think of loyalty… … .
There was no difference in prioritizing Cruz over anything else.
“Everyone, open the magic field!”
coo coo coo-
At the same time as Inari shouted, magic power flowed from the armor of the Bima they rode on.
It was none other than a device that increased the horse’s mobility.
Doo doo doo doo!
The sound that emanated from the increased mobility was truly amazing.
The defense forces of Sabalun, who were running away from the intimidation, looked back in amazement.
“What, what!?”
“Rose! The speed of the kingdom army suddenly increased!”
Hearing the urgent soldiers report and confirming the current situation, he frowned.
It was because the distance that had been far away was quickly closing.
‘Damn it, what the hell is that!? Why are horses at such a speed… … !’
Bima, said to be descended from the highest rank of phantom beasts, the bloodline of the Heavenly Horse, was far superior to ordinary horses in speed.
The mobility that the power of the demons added to this was unmatched.
“Don’t panic! It’s still quite a distance away! Go a little further… … ?”
Rosé, who was directing while looking behind her, doubted her eyes.
It was because the cavalrymen of the kingdom that were following them were aiming at them with their bows raised in unison.
In response, Rosé raised his voice and provoked him.
“You fools! Do you think it will reach you from this distance!?”
This was a provocation, but also a genuine mockery.
If you shoot it with all your mana, you should be able to reach it.
However, it was obvious that it would literally be barely within range.
Without meaning, it was a situation that only consumed mana, so I couldn’t help but laugh at it.
At this, Inari sighed lightly and said.
“Looks like you’re the captain there, but you’re really stupid.”
“… … what?”
“Of course, you’re aiming because you can reach it, right?”
“It doesn’t sound like anything… … ?”
Keying –
The bows of the soldiers aiming their arrows were enveloped in the light of magical power.
It was not their own magic.
A special light that is expressed from the weapon itself.
At that sign, Rose felt an instinctive crisis.
“everyone! defensive stance… … .”
Do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
A storm of arrows buried his cry.
Arrows pouring in straight lines and curves reminded me of waves.
Its power and speed clearly exceeded the range of a normal bow.
“Aagh!”
“No, stop! Stop it!”
“Spread! Spread out!”
The pouring rain of arrows was cruel and merciless.
I pierced their bodies, both head and body.
Even though it was fired from a long distance, it showed such a penetrating power.
In a situation where almost half of the fugitives were killed by the shooting earlier, Rose couldn’t help but be astonished.
‘It’s not their pure prowess, it’s a weapon if you look at all the bows… … damn it!’
As he guessed, all the bows used by the sharpshooters were weapons.
It was a deteriorated version made from Inari’s artifacts.
The assistance of this weapon and half a year of training made this possible.
“All but the first five remain here!”
It was a quick decision made after seeing the attack power of the Absolute Army.
Remaining in this place, except for the first five, meant that I would tie my feet with the determination to die… … .
“We must inform the army that saw the betrayal of the kingdom to save our allies in the front! Move quickly—!”
“Follow Rose-sama’s orders!”
As a result, the gap between the leading five and the rest of the soldiers gradually began to widen.
It was an act to deliberately slow down and tie the feet of the desperate team.
“We need to get attached to them before a second attack follows! Follow me!”
It was a battle of tens and thousands, so of course there was no chance of winning.
But he had the confidence to tie his feet.
All of them, including Rose, were high-ranking military personnel.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
As if to prove this, Rosé radiated a red aura.
Other than that, there were quite a few people who spewed speculation.
Doo doo doo!
Inari increased her speed as if showing off.
“Advance across them! Get sideways!”
“If you can, try it!”
Wow!
Rosé radiated speculation as if provoking.
At the same time, he fiercely turned his body towards Inari.
Toow-!
Red arrows were fired in an instant.
Inari shot with fighting spirit.
It was so fast that I didn’t even notice when I pulled the bowstring.
Even Rosé reflexively swung his sword and bounced it off, so… … .
The trembling that remained in his hand made him guess the power of the arrow.
To Do Do Do!
Three more arrows were fired in succession.
Rosé had no choice but to focus only on defense by swinging the sword with all his might due to the fierce rapid fire.
This naturally resulted in tying Rose’s feet.
“… … Kut! Don’t mind me, stick with me! Charge at the others!”
At Rose’s instruction, the other runaway soldiers dispersed all at once.
I didn’t care about the future, and I used my magic with all my might.
Do-do-do-do-do-!
Shaking off Rose, Inari fired seven arrows at once loaded with fighting spirit.
Caan-!
Accordingly, they had no choice but to wield their swords with all their might.
“… … !”
“What is this… … !”
Those who blocked felt the heaviness as if a lump of lead had been removed.
Even if he wanted to advance further, the horse’s speed had already died, making it impossible.
“Back to God.”
Remembrance.
Inari raised her middle finger at Ruse, then slowly moved forward.
