The Immortal Genius Spearman (101)
“How… how could something like this happen?”

General Mateus of the Spanish Kingdom looked despairing at the rumors coming from the Empire.

―The prince who inherited the Spanish kingdom was captured by the empire.

Mateus also knew very well what kind of person he was.

How can I not know?

Finally, there was a letter from the palace with the royal command to protect him.

‘I heard that you escaped safely.’

Did the Imperial pursuit party catch up that quickly?

But since I had no way of knowing the circumstances, I just felt frustrated.

‘20,000 troops have become useless.’

Now that we know that the prince is in their hands, we can’t attack rashly.

Perhaps because he may be the last royal heir to the Spanish kingdom.

Even if they regained the kingdom, if the entire royal family was wiped out, only an empty shell would remain.

But then.

“warlord.”

“… … Ah, is it coming?”

General Matheus of the Spanish Kingdom saw the Baroque Kingdom’s troops approaching from afar.

The Baroque Kingdom readily accepted the request for an alliance from the Spanish Kingdom, which might otherwise have been ruined.

Mateus tried hard to hide his complicated expression and went to see the commander of the Baroque Kingdom.

“This is Commander-in-Chief Matheus. Thank you very much for responding to our request.”

“This is Liselotte, commander-in-chief of the support force. What is the situation?”

Liselotte, who had come leading the reinforcements of the 6th Legion, asked Mateus.

Mateus looked at Sragan and said with a stern expression.

“The guys started doing crazy things. They were killing all the civilians in the city and dumping their bodies outside… …in piles.”

“… … What did you say?”

For a moment, Lisellote’s expression hardened coldly.

Now let’s look towards the wall of Sragan.

“Those crazy kids… … !”

As Mateus had said, there were a huge number of corpses piled up under the wall.

As if to show off.

Liselotte, who saw this, asked Mateus.

“The walls are quite high. Is there any way to get inside?”

“I’ve already set up the catapult. But… … .”

For a moment, Mateus’ expression hardened into a very serious expression.

Lisellote asked with a slight frown.

“What’s the problem?”

“Now… …the empire has captured the escaped prince.”

“What is that… … .”

Mateus briefly explained the circumstances before and after.

It is said that most of the royal family was killed, and the prince who was the legitimate successor escaped.

When Liselotte heard those words, her expression hardened seriously.

“then…….”

“I think I need to find out a little bit about the situation first. I’m really… … sorry.”

“Umm… … Okay, I understand. I understand the situation, but I can’t take too long.”

“yes.”

It’s almost time for the weather to get cold.

Moreover, there was a limit to the continuous supply of food for 10,000 soldiers.

The reinforcements can only stay here for a fortnight at most.

The battle must end there.

Swish.

Liselotte, who was looking towards Sragan, spoke to Mateus.

“We must be thorough in our defense and vigilance. Given their nature, they won’t just sit back and watch from inside the castle.”

“… … Let’s do that.”

Given the nature of the empire, it would not necessarily be just a matter of water.

‘They have already bared their teeth. They are not satisfied with just standing by quietly… … .’

They will obviously try to show off their exploits by attacking in some way.

Moreover, if we have secured the prince of the Spanish kingdom, we can expect that they will take a passive approach.

‘I will never let this situation go on.’

And there was an even bigger problem.

‘Auror Master… … is that you?’

The Auror Master, the Supreme Commander of the Empire currently within Sraggan.

There is a significant difference between an Aura user who simply handles Aura and an Aura Master.

Just like the skill of someone who has studied swordsmanship for 23 years and someone who has studied it for over 10 years are different.

In the case of the Master, he is a monster that can slaughter at least twenty or thirty soldiers with just one swing of the Aura Blade.

“Who is the Auror Master over there?”

“… … This is Fiarren Tail. I am the commander of the Rose Knights.”

“Fiaren Tail.”

Liselotte’s brow furrowed at Mateus’s words.

Because Piaren was quite famous just by his name.

As a bloodthirsty murderer.

Rumor has it that she has quite a beautiful appearance, but contrary to her appearance, she has a very cruel personality and is somewhat of an outcast even within the empire.

It was rumored that when he entered battle, he would swing his sword like crazy, regardless of whether it was enemy or ally.

‘If the guy comes out leading the soldiers… … .’

You can’t fight a clumsy all-out war unless you dig a trap and completely surround them.

Because neither Liselotte nor Mateus were equipped to handle Auror.

“Then I’ll wait for you today. I’ll be resting, so please check as soon as possible.”

“thank you.”

At Mateus’s words, Liselotte slightly bowed her head and returned to where the soldiers were.

And then.

“Commander!”

“What’s going on?”

“The Kaion unit has joined, and the Kaion unit leader has requested an interview.”

“Tell him to come.”

With Liselotte’s permission, Damian finally approached him.

Damien had a small child in his arms.

“Glory to the kingdom!”

“Hmm, are you the captain of the Kion unit?”

“Sergeant, Damien! Greetings to the Commander.”

“But what about that kid?”

It’s not like you brought the child because you had nothing to do.

Liselotte asked with a puzzled look. Damien answered.

“He is the prince of the Spanish kingdom. We saved him from being ambushed by the imperial pursuit force while he was trying to escape.”

“what?”

At that moment, Lisellote’s eyes shook greatly.

Didn’t you just come from a conversation with Mateus about the prince of the Spanish kingdom?

‘It was clearly said that it had fallen into the hands of the Empire… … .’

Liselotte asked Damien with a stern expression.

“Is this person really the prince of the Spanish kingdom?”

“Yes, he was being pursued by the Imperial pursuit force. And the escort who was protecting him was also rescued by us and is currently receiving treatment.”

“Where is that escort?”

“I will guide you.”

At Damien’s words, Liselotte began to walk quickly after him.

Finally, Liselotte arrived at the place where the Kaion unit was and saw a knight from the Spanish Kingdom being brought in on a stretcher.

It was a fairly serious injury, but fortunately, it seemed like the crisis had passed.

Liselotte asked, looking at the knight lying on the stretcher.

“Can you speak?”

“……yes.”

Although he was covered in bloody bandages from his injuries, he pursed his lips.

Lisellote asked him.

“Tell me your affiliation and name.”

“S… … King of the Fenian… … King of the country… … The direct… Captain of the… Guard, Julion… … is here.”

“Julion, is the person you were guarding the prince of the Spanish kingdom?”

“yes.”

A short but decisive answer.

Liselotte nodded to him.

“Take Prince Izawa and follow me. I will go to the commander of the Spanish Kingdom.”

If the situation has become like this, there is no need to delay and you can attack immediately.

In the first place, letting the prince escape would have meant that the royal family within the capital also risked their lives.

furthermore…….

‘They are crazy people who massacre ordinary citizens like that. There is no way the royal family will be safe either.’

In this case, it would have been better to attack them quickly and reclaim the capital of the Spanish Kingdom.

If this becomes their stronghold, more Imperial troops may come down from the north.

Thud thud.

Liselotte walked quickly towards Mateus.

Mateus, who was having a meeting with executives, tilted his head when he saw Liselotte suddenly appearing.

“What’s going on?”

“We are serving the prince who escaped.”

“… … !?”

In an instant, Mateus’s eyes widened.

It was so unexpected that I almost felt like I had misheard.

“Hey, what did you just say?”

“We have secured the prince’s new recruits.”

And then I glanced back.

Damian, who was holding the prince, approached Mateus and said.

“I am Damian, the captain of the Kion Unit, directly under the 6th Army Corps of the Baroque Kingdom. We have rescued and brought you the prince who is being pursued by the Empire’s pursuers.”

“Ahh… … Ahh… … .”

Mateus shivered as he looked at the prince in Damian’s arms.

After a while, he slowly bent down and knelt on one knee in front of the prince, bowing his head.

“Thank goodness, Prince. Sob… …!”

He tried to hold back his tears, but hot tears flowed from his eyes as he lowered his head.

Behind him, who was sobbing and shaking his shoulders, all the other generals knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to pay homage to the prince.

And then.

“Huh… … Thank you. I will never forget this favor.”

Mateus stood up and spoke to Damian.

I couldn’t figure out how such a young looking boy could be the leader of a unit.

“Thanks to you, the Spanish kingdom was able to survive. Although I am of humble status, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the kingdom.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

Damian greeted Mateus with a light nod.

Then, Mateus, who had received the prince, called his adjutants.

“Protect the prince thoroughly. From now on, I will not expose the prince to any threats.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Mateus looked at Liselotte as the adjutants shouted out their response.

“We will begin the operation tonight.”

“The faster the better.”

Today, we will reclaim the lost capital of the Spanish kingdom.

The two commanders nodded and began to move their respective troops.

Puuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Roberta’s gaze turned to the sound coming from outside.

What is this all of a sudden?

Roberta’s expression hardened as she watched Jimern running towards her in a hurry.

“What’s going on?”

“The enemy has started moving!”

“What?”

Roberta’s expression suddenly distorted.

It’s not that I’m afraid of them moving, but because they’re moving much faster than I expected.

“Have you really spread the rumor that we have secured the prince?”

“Yes, they all know that. But… … I can’t understand why they’re suddenly acting like this.”

“… … .”

Roberta frowned at Jimenez’s words.

If they hadn’t confirmed the prince’s whereabouts, they would have had no justification for moving.

After all, the royal family is the most important thing they have to protect.

But still.

“As soon as the Baroque Kingdom’s reinforcements arrived, they attacked right away… … Did they perhaps secure the prince’s new soldiers?”

“… … We cannot rule out that possibility.”

In any case, wasn’t contact with the pursuit party completely lost?

It is also possible that they were attacked by some units of the advancing Baroque Kingdom.

But Roberta stood up as if it didn’t matter.

“It’s a fight that can’t be avoided anyway. No, it’s a fight that I had no intention of avoiding.”

I was planning to observe the situation for a bit and then attack first to find an opening in their way.

Even though the Allied Forces attacked first.

“What can these guys do?”

Roberta immediately put on her helmet and started walking towards the gate.

I’ve been bored with this pointless massacre.

“Now let the continent know for sure that we are going to devour them!”

And the beginning of that will be the victory of this battle.

Roberta immediately drew her sword and shouted at the archers stationed on the walls.

“Archers, line up!”

Hit! Hit! Hit!

At Roberta’s words, the archers quickly formed ranks and prepared to attack.

Roberta, who had climbed up the wall, looked ahead.

“Where are you coming from… … Hmm?”

But at that moment.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge boulder fell from the sky and the walls began to shake.
