Chapter 151: Narrow Escape from the Jaws of Death
What a stupid story.
Falling right into the enemy's scheme
And yet, I'm brave enough to fight
And now I'm about to have my head smashed in
And what's even more pathetic
More than my anger at the enemy
Fear of death has overtaken
The moment the viscount's arm was swung down
I closed my eyes reflexively
"!"
What kind of pain is a death blow?
That's what I think about at that moment.
"…………Huh?"
But the sword is not swung down
I fearfully open my eyes.
The surroundings are silent as if time had stopped
Curiously, the Viscount's arm was lowered.
I turned my head upward.
"…Eh?"
No one is looking at me.
The viscount's soldiers and the escort soldiers
Everyone is looking at the viscount
In the midst of all this...
I saw a glimpse
From the gap in the helmet that the Viscount is wearing
Blood flowed
"Ah! Prince, please get back!"
Someone in the escort soldiers shouted
I still have no strength in my knees
So I rolled backward
And then
“Nahaftaine-samaaaa!!”
The viscount collapsed where I had just been
A great amount of blood poured out from the head of the fallen Viscount.
The back of his head
In a small space in his helmet...
"Is this an arrow?"
It was truly a miracle blow.
A roar can be heard in the distance.
It came from the direction the Viscount had come.
It was from the Kusuof's side
"The flag of Kusuof!"
"Prince, I have seen it. I have seen it in Edgeworth territory!"
The soldier supporting me with his own shoulder explained
His expression was one of relief.
"It's the flag of the Kusuof royal family!"
---------
From there, it all happened so fast.
The enemy soldiers who had lost the Viscount
Were overrun by soldiers bearing the royal flag.
They scattered and fled.
They were killed without mercy.
"Prince Giran!"
"Yes! And you?"
A woman in gold-plated armor speaks to me.
Is she in her early twenties?
"Queen Kusuof's daughter. I'm the fourth daughter, Reineke Two-Tail."
I am at a loss for words
"...No, I never thought the princess would come in person."
"We didn't expect the prince to come either. Except for the Viscount, who is lying dead there and the Queen."
I see
The bastard over there seems to have had a sharp eye.
"Now, we will go to the battlefield where the airship fell. You, Prince, stay here and rest for a while."
“I want to go too. I'd like to say, but I'll take your word for it."
I realized how weak I was.
If I forced myself to go with them, I would only be a hindrance.
"Shovu!"
"Yes! Onee-sama!"
A fox woman, younger than Reineke, was called and came toward me.
"This is my sister, Shovu. Shovu, I'll entrust you with the prince's escort. I'll leave 50 soldiers behind."
"Yes! I'm Shovo One-tail. Nice to meet you, Prince."
"Alright! The rest of us will go to the border and cut down the bandits! Follow me!"
Then, Reineke and the others and half of the human soldiers head towards the ship at tremendous speed.
That majestic figure is a reliable
"It's cool, isn't it? Onee-sama is."
Shovu stares at her sister's back, who is getting smaller with an ecstatic expression.
"I have one question."
"What is it?"
Something I've been wondering since a moment ago.
"Who shot the Viscount?"
"It's me."
It was Shovu
"You were able to kill the Viscount in that range."
Moreover, in the gap between the helmet
"Because I'm not as strong as my sister, so I use something like this."
Shovu has her subordinates bring something
"This is big for a crossbow and small for a ballista..."
“I tried to make it as small as possible so that it would be portable, and it ended up being this size. I originally intended to attach it to the carriage, but I didn't have time, so I brought it on foot."
But wait a minute.
That doesn't explain how she was able to hit the Viscount.
"Eh? It's luck, isn't it?"
She shot at him from a great distance, up the mountain, and hit him right on the head.
"It seems the prince has good luck."
“H-hahaha…”
Not good
This woman is bad news
