75 – Participation in the war
“!?”
Selene was surprised.
Why is a boy here who shouldn’t be here?
“I finally see a familiar face.”
Evan also found Selene and her eyes lit up.
It was Evan’s first time coming to the normal Gramberg estate, so it was unfamiliar, but it turned out well.
All you have to do is let Selene guide you.
“Eh… Evan?”
Selene asked somewhat absent-mindedly.
A handsome boy with silver hair.
A blunt, low-pitched voice.
If her memory was not wrong, the boy who had teleported away was Evan.
“Yes, Selene. What’s the situation like? “Unless the wall has been taken over, I’m going to go straight to the wall.”
Evan naturally asked about the situation.
Evan asked so naturally that Selene almost answered for a moment.
“Huh.”
Selene came to her senses.
“Now, wait a minute. Weren’t you at the academy? “How did you get here?”
“I came to gain practical experience.”
“Practical… experience?”
Evan came here to train.
However, according to Selene’s common sense, there were no crazy students who would come to such a dangerous battlefield to train.
-Hello!
Maya giving a belly bow.
Selene was even more dumbfounded.
You brought this young child to such a dangerous place.
Selene’s eyes twitched.
It looks like a swear word is about to come out, but the accustomed manners force Selene to suppress it.
Evan silently pointed to his and Maya’s badges.
All sentences representing the articles of the 3rd princess Cornelia.
Selene’s eyes widened when she saw the golden badge.
“Huh!?”
“Since you have come as the princess’s knight, you can roam freely. “If there are people you don’t recognize, just tell them.”
Soldiers with dark eyes may not know.
Celere nodded her head in confusion.
‘Evan and her sister are knights of the 3rd Princess Cornelia?’
If Evan is holding that badge, he can roam Gram Berge as much as he wants.
People of the imperial family are free in most territories.
But… Even Evan’s younger sister is a knight of the princess?
I guess it’s Evan’s seed… Selene barely managed to guess.
Maya always calls Evan “Master,” So it’s a reasonable guess.
Selene organized her thoughts and finally came up with something.
‘…… Come to think of it, Wolgwang used informal language towards the third princess.’
When sparring with Sias, Wolgwang spoke informally to the third princess.
It’s like she’s a good friend.
Selene felt that her collected memories were organically connected.
‘It’s moonlight!’
Selene was confident.
I feel foolish for thinking about it until now.
She left me so close and went looking for someone else.
“What is the answer?”
Selene kept giving dumb reactions, so Evan urged her to answer.
“…… Let me tell you! Is it better than that? “It may not be well known to the academy or the imperial family, but the barbarian queen may have come down.”
Selene put her worries into words and asked back.
Now is not the time to worry about Moonlight’s identity.
“I have no intention of dealing with the queen directly. “It would be okay if it was a warrior under the queen or a small chieftain.”
“The chief is also strong… Anyway, that’s about it. Follow me! Because the wall hasn’t collapsed yet.”
Selene gestured toward the wall while holding the quiver of arrows.
※
The northern rock wall consists of several structures.
The outermost magic trap, and the outer and inner walls.
The ‘Winter Knights’, Gramberge’s greatest force, were fighting endlessly against barbarians to defend the outer walls.
Chaeng! Whiplash!! Thud!
A barbarian ax used to pound the bottom of the outer castle wall.
The winter knight wearing thick leather armor took refuge.
The outermost magic trap has already been neutralized by the barbarian shamans.
If the outer wall collapses, the inner wall will be reached in no time.
Cynthia was fighting the barbarians on top of the outer wall.
“The outer wall cannot be pushed down!! Pfft! Wizards!! Attack magic on the enemy’s right wing! “The catapult is coming!”
The catapult must be neutralized.
These crazy barbarians are throwing rocks and barbarians on catapults.
The barbarians, who were applying strange magic to their bodies, were thrown into the catapult and fell all over the wall.
“Gasp, gasp.”
Cynthia caught her breath.
It is urgent.
Proper command and control has already disappeared.
There was so little manpower that even the soldiers guarding Cynthia were filling in the empty parts of the wall.
There are too many barbarians.
I feel like I want to lend a hand.
‘Father.’
Cynthia’s father, Marquis Liam, went outside the wall to gain an advantage in the early stages of the battle and was seriously injured.
Currently, he is receiving intensive treatment by healing priests at the inner wall.
‘…… ‘I want to send my father to Bonjung.’
Internal walls are also dangerous.
Perhaps my father will be attacked by barbarians?
Cynthia had asked her father, the Marquess Liam, to retreat to her true nature.
However, Marquis Liam refused Cynthia’s request.
If the commander retreats to the rear during battle, it is a great poison to the soldiers’ morale.
The method of a competent commander is to pretend to have an advantage even if you are at a disadvantage, and to pretend not to have been injured even if you are injured.
So, Marquis Liam was forced to hold on at the inner wall.
However, how long will this last? ….
Wow!
Cynthia makes snowflakes and kills barbarians climbing up the ladder.
First of all, we have no choice but to kill the barbarians as much as we can.
Cynthia acted similarly to the other knights and acted so that the barbarians could not think of her as a commander.
The inside of the wall was a mess.
The barbarians who flew into the catapult screamed and rushed at the servants and soldiers.
Gramberge’s reserve force was busy fighting against the barbarians who had flown in.
Acolytes and village farmers carried the wounded on stretchers and even sat down anywhere to make arrows.
Order has collapsed.
Evan came into the gap between them and cut off the head of the barbarian who flew in.
Pot!
A barbarian warrior whose throat is cut by Evan as soon as he falls to the ground.
Just because they were launched by catapults, not all barbarians landed safely.
Most of the barbarians fell to their deaths.
At least the ones with intact limbs are attacking the soldiers.
This is truly a barbaric waste of troops.
“Is it convenient?”
But Evan evaluated it positively.
You don’t have to go looking for it, but the barbarians will automatically fall nearby.

Is there a more comfortable practical experience than this?
Evan already felt like he had come to Gramberge.
“Phew.”
Selene looked at her outer walls and sighed in relief.
Luckily for her, the outer walls were not taken away.
Gramberge is still holding on.
Right behind Evan, Michael was trembling.
“Well, the magical powers beyond the wall are no joke, are they? This is my first time seeing a shaman of that level. Me, Nari, maybe… “You’re not going to go outside the wall or anything like that, are you?”
Michael asked anxiously.
It looks like Evan is worried that he might jump into that many barbarian army.
Evan frowned.
“What do you think of me?”
“Ha, hahahaha, I made another mistake! That’s right! “There is no way you would do that!”
Michael made a fuss of his.
Evan ignored Michael.
With Evan’s current body, if he goes to that army, he will die quickly.
Isn’t it a collection of all the strongest barbarians?
This is the power of a barbarian that you may have never felt in your past life.
‘Of course, if the situation is not favorable, I may join the army.’
There are always variables in war.
It doesn’t go exactly as expected.
So Evan ignored Michael’s words, which seemed to be conclusive.
-Sabu! It’s a battle picnic!
Maya confirmed and killed the squirming barbarian and shouted brightly.
A picture of Maya having an easy time dealing with barbarians the other day.
‘Battle picnic?’
Evan did not understand Maya’s words.
That’s because it was created by Maya.
-It’s a fighting picnic! Going to a place with her husband is a fun picnic for Maya.
“… ….”
Evan didn’t think Maya’s words were too bad.
It’s a battle picnic.
Is this a picnic to go to battle?
I think it will increase interest in actual combat and reduce the unnecessary excitement of battle.
“It’s not bad, but don’t let your guard down.”
-Yes!
Maya answered and hugged Evan’s waist.
Maya is hugged by Evan after defeating a barbarian.
Selene and Michael were shocked to see these two weirdos.
※
The snowstorm is fierce.
Cynthia felt that the barbarians’ advance was becoming more and more fierce.
As if it had been an exploration battle up until now.
“Kaaa!!”
A barbarian who runs towards Cynthia while screaming.
Chop, clap!
Cynthia made a snowflake and chopped off the head of a barbarian.
“Huh, huh. Omg.”
Cynthia’s breath rose to the tip of her chin.
Her body is exhausted and gradually becomes cold.
The magic power that maintained her body temperature ran wild.
The incoming barbarians are becoming increasingly burdensome.
“Lady!!”
Her winter knights around her try to protect her, without noticing her, but… ….
Newly rising barbarians obstructed the path.
Knights helping Cynthia by cutting off their heads.
Under the wall, the corpses of barbarians were piled up.
Enough for the barbarians to step on and climb up.
Even if the wizards sent away a mountain of corpses, it filled up quickly.
Tsutsutsu…… !
Unusual barbarians are coming up the mountain of corpses.
The appearance of tattoos all over the body is the same as that of any other barbarian.
The magical power it emits is powerful.
Chief under the barbarian queen.
Cynthia realized this intuitively.
Boom!
Two winter knights rushed forward, but their skulls were cracked by the double axes held by the chieftain.
Cynthia quickly cut down the waves of barbarian warriors, glaring at her chieftain.
Can we win?
Normally, he would have predicted victory, but there are many barbarians interfering with his movements.
Cynthia tensed, straining her numb hands.
“Wooow!”
The chief barks softly and runs towards Cynthia.
Two other barbarian warriors attack Cynthia at the same time.
A total of three are coming.
Cynthia felt a sense of crisis.
Kang!
A small figure that towers over the chieftain’s body.
The chieftain let out his snort and jumped back.
Chaeng!
Cynthia used her strength to shake off the two barbarian warriors that were on her, and then she looked up in confusion.
I was preparing to clash with the chieftain, but someone pushed the chieftain away.
“The Winter Queen’s sword loses its advantage when its movement slows.”
What is in front of you is a familiar face.
It was a boy wearing thin fur and leather clothes.
“I will take charge of the chief. So, don’t disturb me and take a breather behind the scenes. “When commanders are tired, it becomes difficult to make sound decisions.”
When Cynthia tries to join, the boy refuses with a familiar voice.
Cynthia thought for a moment that she was dreaming.
She must have been so tired that her mind went crazy.
“…… Evan?”
Cynthia called the boy’s name out loud.
