The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World - Chapter 69

Collision

“Henceforth, we will a.s.sail the Demihuman Country’s capital! Although they too will come at us seriously, they are no match for us! Heroes of the Empire Army! Advance fearlessly!”

The soldiers who start walking the prairie under the Supreme Commander’s order. Our squad is rear support this time around. We’re being entrusted with the vanguards’ odd jobs. As for the reason, it’s because there may also be other betrayers by any chance.

Just because the monstrosity that a.s.saulted the town that we’re using as the base didn’t a.s.sault Cel, Cel’s treated as a betrayer and arrested. We desperately need to undo the curse, and yet, to make matters worse, we’re unable to go out in front. Even though the person himself who placed the curse will probably come out.

“Captain. I went to take a look at the Vice-Captain’s condition, and it looks quite agonizing”

“Eeh, I know. That’s why I have to find somebody who’s able to dispel the curse no matter what it takes. Or, I have to find the caster”

However, we’re unable to move from here. If we move, Cel will probably be killed. As I’m thinking about what I should do, I hear an explosion. It appears that the battle has begun.

Immediately as I thought that, visible even from the faraway reserve troops, are fire pillars that ascend high into the sky. We’re all speechless. Furthermore, along with the arising tornadoes, there are icicles that fall like rain.

I was able to see a spectacle that resembled the end of the world even from this location. It’s obviously strange. It’s obvious that this isn’t something that the Empire Army is doing.

“Captain, this is……”

“We’re going as well! Everybody, get ready!”

I mounted my horse that’s being fastened nearby and rode it. My closest subordinates were following behind me and the others were preparing to leave.

I finally managed to arrive behind the troops that are attacking after riding the horse for a while, but it was like h.e.l.l at the front.

Icicles rain down on the blazing ground. Dirt, that became like thorns, fly out from the ground and skewer the soldiers. This much magic, the Demihuman Country must’ve sent out tens of Magicians, was what I thought, but there was only one person.

A male Elf who’s floating in the air. All kinds of different type of magic cast when that man moves both his arms as though he’s swinging a conductor’s wand.

No matter how much our side tries to block with magic, it penetrates it easily, and on the other hand, even when our side tries to attack, it doesn’t reach.

“Humph, I am only capable of this much currently huh. I could block it normally in the past though. Well, I guess I shall leave the rest to her”

As the Elf man muttered something, he ceased his magic and withdrew to the back. I don’t know the reason, but for now, I have to make the soldiers pull back and regroup. However, before I could, the Supreme Commander

“Now! The fact that he ceased his magic means that he’s reached his limit! There’s no way he can cast those kinds of magic over and over again! All troops advancee!”

, gave such an obviously mistaken instruction. Even though he can clearly tell from the looks of it that he can still cast magic.

If the orders are given, even the soldiers that really want to withdraw can do nothing but advance. I head towards the Supreme Commander in the meantime.

“Supreme Commander! Here we should pull back for once and regroup! We cannot win while we are in shambles!”

“Why are you here! I left you at the back!”

“Now is not the time to be saying such things! More than such things, it is about the soldiers who are in front now! We are winning in numbers so we should subst.i.tute them with healthy soldiers!”

“Eey, shut up! If you insist on getting in the way any more than this……”

DOOoN!

While the Supreme Commander and I are arguing, something descended at the front. Just from that impact, the soldiers were blown away. Inside the dust cloud that hangs over

“Haha! Let’s have fun!”

, a woman’s voice that laughs loudly was audible. A red-haired woman who leaps out right as she finishes saying that. It’s a woman who’s holding her large b.r.e.a.s.t.s down with a sarashi, wearing a pair of shorts, and generously exposing her brown skin, but more than anything, the horn that grows on her head and the tail grows from her hips come into sight.

Judging from her appearance, I guess she’s a Dragonewt Race. Her power that’s unimaginable from her slender appearance is indicative of that.

The soldiers approached in an attempt to defeat the woman, who appeared suddenly, but their swords and spears broke so easily when they touched her that one would think that they’re twigs, and on the other hand, when they readied their shields in an attempt to receive her fists, the shields get crushed and the part of the body that she touched burst into pieces.

“Hey, hey, what’s the matter, what’s the matter! Get serious!”

The soldiers who saw the sight of her approaching while laughing were equally frightened. I have to stop her somehow. As I readied my bow and was about to shoot my arrow, a gigantic axe was swung down at her. An axe, that’s large enough to be able to split an ordinary person into halves easily, swung down at her.

It’s one of the Captains. It’s the Captain who rose up the ranks by blowing enemies away with a gigantic axe. Because that axe is a Demon Axe, it’s st.u.r.dier than an ordinary weapon. In reality, it doesn’t break even when it’s swung down at the Dragonewt Race woman over and over again.

Morale of the soldiers, who witnessed the Dragonewt Race woman being attacked one-sidedly, returns slightly, but that woman still hasn’t gotten serious yet.

It seems that thought was on the mark and the instant the next time the axe was swung down, she caught the axe’s blade with her hand. She’s making an insouciant smile, but the Captain’s face is gradually dying dark red.

The axe that’s caught doesn’t budge. The Captain puts in strength in an attempt to pull it out, but it doesn’t move at all. And then the axe that’s smashed up and the Captain whose body is scattered about. The body became in pieces from the impact of being punched.

I’m about to avert my eyes from the spectacle that I can’t look straight at, but the enemy doesn’t wait.

Demihuman Country’s soldiers showed up behind the woman, and furthermore, the monstrosity that a.s.saulted the town a few days ago was there in front. The Elf man just now is also beside it, and above all else, the man who placed the curse on Cel was riding the monstrosity’s back.
