an attack originally carried out to stop the Fritzione army
　The Fritzione army should have increased the number of injured men, used potions and restorative magic to treat the injured man, exhausted supplies, and prepared to intercept each attack.
　Yes, the operation would probably have been successful if it had not been for Ray and Sett, who could move through the air in the Fritzione army.
　But Ray and Sett were there, and the calculations went wild.
　However, for cabazide, most of them were bandits, some mercenaries.
　Even for the mercenaries, there were many bad guys, and it was not too bad to be wiped out by Ray's surprise attack.
　Well, I might even have thanked you for disposing of the presence in advance that would cause unnecessary disturbances.
　At any rate, defeating such a surprise attack, Fritzione's forces proceed down the road to join the Mercurio rebels.

"I can't do it to-day... but will we arrive about noon tomorrow?"
"Probably, if Ray hadn't knocked down the surprise attack in advance, it might have taken a few more days if he hadn't done a bad job. though it was supposed to be a distance of about two days."

　Angela, riding next to Ray, breathes out.
　In fact, it was true that it was half a day... or a little later than originally planned, and that was what made Angela breathe.
　Even so, the supplies are prepared in such a way that there is no shortage of supplies.
　Besides, Fritzione is popular with the people. It's not difficult to supply supplies in villages and towns along the way.
　Fortunately, it's already autumn. The harvest of crops has already been settled for a while, and even the village has some leeway.
　Needless to say, we don't collect supplies. You pay a decent price to buy it.
　Fritzione, the people's feelings, made no compromise on that.
　...however, this Fritzione army has a large following of Fritzione.
　Of course I understand Fritzione's personality, and it's not that I can't afford it, so I'm sure we'll get on with it without any problems.

"I could give you a little when it comes to the crunch,"

　Ray's mistrings contain large quantities of food, ingredients and monster corpses.
　With this army, we could manage a meal.

"I envy you that the item box won't rot if you put it inside."
"Well, honestly, it's very useful to keep food ready to eat. You can buy soup or stewed dishes in town and keep them as they are."
"Grull!"

　Listening to Ray, Sett asserts that he's right because he's involved in food.
　Since she started working with Ray, Seto has tasted many dishes and learned how delicious they are.
　However, I don't hate to eat the fallen prey as it is in addition to the food I eat in the village or town.

"Phew, is Seto hungry?"
"I don't think so, but if I can, I'll be happy to eat Seto." Of course I am, too."

　The reason why the Fritzione army went down the road with such a friendly conversation was probably due to Ray's earlier defeat of the bandits and mercenaries who had been preparing for the attack.
　As a result, Ray's actions have benefited the Fritzione army.
　Not to mention that there was no need to worry about a surprise attack, but there were quite a few other horses available.
　He left a note on the horse prepared to escape after the attack on the Fritzione army, and Ray attacked the next ambush unit. 　
　As a result, while some horses have been taken away by someone else, most of them have been successfully recovered by the Fritzione army.
　Naturally, it's not enough for all infantry, but it's true that the march has increased somewhat.
　The Fritzione army was advancing so gently, but... the White Rose Knights guarding the carriage in which Fritzione was riding suddenly noticed that they were heading towards them.
　It's also a situation where one side is being chased and the other side is being chased.
　The battle takes place while running along the road, and people walking down the road walk off the road and distance themselves from it, thinking they don't want to get involved.
　In the midst of all this, I could only describe strange groups that came close to me fighting.

"What shall I do, Mr. Fritzione?"
"Well, I'm sorry, but can you go and fight a little bit? I don't want to see blood now, because I've seen blood lately. However, our safety is our first priority."

　Following her words, the female knights of the White Rose Knights rush out.

"Here we go! Fight up to the name of the First Corps!"

　The captain's voice echoes, and the female knights of the first unit gain strength in response.
　They must have noticed a group of people rushing at themselves. Some of the men who were attacked, twitching their faces against the White Rose Knights, who were approaching them without slowing down, soon realized they were female knights in white armor. breathe out a sigh of relief
　In the Empire of Bestia, there is only the White Rose Knights, who are made up of beautiful women in white armor.
　It was also proof that the men in pursuit had nothing to do with the White Rose Knights.

(Then of course the pursuers are different.)

　The First Squadron muttered inwardly, firmly grasping the rapier's handle in his hand.
　Rapia is not usually a weapon used by cavalry.
　But for this commander, rappiah was so familiar that it was a powerful weapon in cavalry battles.

"Leave it to us, and you go first!"
"I'm sorry, I'm saved!"

　In a moment of passing, they exchange words, and those who were being chased go to the head of the Fritzione army, and the first unit of the White Rose Knights go to the chase.
　The pursuers seemed to be at a loss for a moment about what to do, but they probably decided that they would be pursued unilaterally if they left. They rush into the first unit under the orders of the supposed captain.
　give someone a blow and leave where he frightened him
　Such a thought must have been in my mind, but it quickly fills me with astonishment.
　A woman knight holding a rapier quickly moves her hands as she approaches the cavalry of the chasing party.
　The hand moved. It was understood from a distance, and those who saw it up close fell through the gaps in their helmets, their eyes and necks, their arms and legs pierced through the gaps in their joints, to the ground.
　I can't afford it because I fell from the top of a horse that came running at full speed.
　The impact on the ground breaks the bones of his limbs and is trampled down by a fellow horse running from behind.
　It must have been fortunate for the man that his head was crushed by the first blow and he did not feel any pain for a long time.
　At the very least, it was much better than the men who lost their balance and fell to the ground because they stepped on a man, or the men who didn't fall on a horse and were crushed all over by the horses behind them.
　Then the first unit of the White Rose Knights attacks his opponent.
　At that point he probably decided that there was no chance of winning. The man who led the chase announces his withdrawal, and the survivors crawl away.

"Captain, the chase?"
"No, let's not do that'said he. I don't think there's a trap, but we can't waste our energy in our current situation. Is there anyone else who is hurt?"
"No. It was almost an instant battle, and the captain took the lead."
"Well, then, shall we go back to His Highness Fritzione?"

　The captain of the First Squad turns his gaze to the ground.
　There were already dead and dying there.

"As for these people, we must dispose of them properly so as not to harm them."
"Well, I'll ask you a favor of Mr. Ray."
"Wait, I!"
"It's a bit sloppy! I guess I'm right here."

　Just when I say I'm going down Ray, the tension I've just had so far dissipates at once.
　However, considering Seto's loveliness, the commander of the first unit shakes his head.

"It is true that if the magic of the Lord Ray is used, the condolences of the dead will be over very quickly, but... in the first place, the Lord Ray is not a member of us, but a bodyguard of this army." We should do something about it, given that we still rely too much on it. I will ask Angela what he will do with this corpse. Well, I'll be back."We can't rely too much on Ray. It was also true that the Fritzione army had to rely on Ray, despite understanding what he said.
　That's why we should do what we can.
　With that in mind, the captain of the First Squad heads down to Angela.
　It's frustrating, thinking that I should have more power than I thought of myself as having the strength to defeat almost alone.





"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's a relief." Thank you very much."
"Oh, I really thought it was all over again."
"Why, why are you like us so persistent.

　The men who fled to Fritzione's army say thank you for their breathlessness and bite at the fact that they were saved.
　Some were too exhausted to speak out, showing how much danger they had survived.

"Bring me some water."

　Under Angela's orders, soldiers nearby immediately bring in water.

"Well, drink it,"

　He must have been very thirsty. At Angela's word, the party devours the water in a prepared glass.
　And after a few glasses of water, it must have finally calmed down. One of the men bowed deeply.

"Thank you,"
"No, that's all right. But why were you being pursued?"
"Yes, but before that, you must be Angela, the captain of the White Rose Knights?"
"Yes, I'm sure."

　The man, confirming Angela's nod, then turns to the carriage a little further away.

"Then it's Prince Fritzione in the carriage over there,"

　Angela nods to the man right in front of her, but is alert.
　If he were to harm Prince Fritzione, he would not be allowed to do so.
　But the man just breathed in relief and opened his mouth.

"Good, I think I managed to get there."
"Are you getting there?"
"Yes, my name is Dornos, and I am a subordinate of Viscount Vish, who serves His Highness Mercurio. In fact, the area around where we stand is blocked by the punitive force. In order to do something about it, they sent us to inform Prince Fritzione of this information, as they were supposed to defeat one by one the punitive forces blocking the road."

　Dornos glances away in the middle of the conversation.
　Ray was at the end of that gaze.
　Ray, who had been talking to Angela before this uproar, also existed here.

"I'm glad to hear that Mr. Ray is safe, too."
"There have been some small problems here, too... I see, have you come to cut off the supply?" and as long as he is defeated by pure fighting power, he ought to have made the choice."

　a nodding ray
　Several people, including Dornos, in front of them are certainly faces Ray has seen several times in rebel positions.
　There are also faces that Ray had trained when he first joined.
　Only such people breathe relief that they are all right when they see Ray.
　It's because he understands firsthand how powerful Ray is.
　Feeling that way, Ray frowns for a moment and opens his mouth to Angela.

"Apparently, the harassment-like attacks that have been carried out so persistently have brought this matter here... No, wait." If we were to cut off supplies in the first place, that is to say, starve them, it would be meaningless to slow down the march of the Fritzione army a little, wouldn't it?"
"Well, it's true that we're late to get there, but it doesn't mean we're going to travel a few months or years each way... so isn't that what we're trying to do?"

　Angela's questionable voice echoed around her.
