Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

60 – Siege and Defense of Marhen Territory (2)

“Protect the princess!”

“aaah!!!”

Despite the bloody battlefield, Angela Burtion’s sword did not lose its splendid shine.

-Suddenly!!

“Catch the princess! If we catch the princess, we will be able to negotiate with the empire!”

“I will catch it! The damn emperor took away everything my family had to eat through taxes! “I will take revenge, you bastards of Burtion!!”

Although the tax collection rate of a fiefdom is determined by the lord, not the emperor, Angela did not naively think that she was being unfair to the rebels who were pouring out resentment towards her.

She was just focused on surviving this battlefield full of blood and iron.

The soldiers who swore loyalty are falling to monsters and magic to protect themselves, and even the upright knights are already out of breath.

“We must somehow escape the princess! “Everyone, prepare to be imprisoned and break through those trolls!”

“For Princess Angela Bourtion!!!”

-Dag-dak, dag-dak!!

I chase after the knights who are galloping towards the trolls on horseback, and somehow use the route they opened to avoid being in vain.

‘Was I being too greedy…? !’

An opportunity arose to kill the highest ranking magician of the rebel army who suddenly appeared, so he led his knights and went on an attack.

If you can kill the people in charge of supplies and deal with the executives, you can say that you have developed your specialty. Because I will be able to make up for the majors that are currently falling behind my older sisters.

But the supply wagon they raided was empty, and it didn’t take long to realize that it was a trap.

The attack of several shining wooden dolls, trolls, and the well-equipped elite of the rebel army made the decision to retreat quickly.

“Angela Bourtion! “Stand there!!”

-Kwaaang!!!

-Hee hee hee!!!!

Calming her startled steed as flames rose in her path, Angela turned her gaze to follow the direction from which her fireball had come.

“Carmien Douhart… !”

“Yes, it is me. Abandoned princess b*tch, keke… “

The youngest of the three Doeheart sisters who started the rebellion and has a talent for magic.

Carmian Dowhart, with the wizards under his command, rode triumphantly on horseback as if he were a nobleman and pointed her staff at Angela.

“I finally caught the arrogant b*tch who only believed in her blood. I was worried that they kept eating away at some of our forces. “It’s rewarding to be the bait.”

“If I only believe in my blood and show off, doesn’t that mean you also only trust in your sisters and show off? “He’s only a 4th circle wizard, but he’s also the highest-ranking official in an army led by masters and top experts.”

“This, this, this…” !”

Angela’s provocation worked effectively. In reality, Carmien Doeheart was not skilled enough to become the highest-ranking executive with magical abilities, so there was a separate highest-ranking executive leading the wizards.

But that didn’t mean she lacked her magical abilities to deal with the monsters in this place.

Just reaching the 4th Circle, the realm of Experts, at a young age is enough to secure a top position at the Southern Kingdom’s Magic Academy. There is no shortage of controlling trolls using artifacts.

“Yes! Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that four years were caught here today. Say whatever you want! All wizards, use puppets! Right Now!! I promise an executive position and a significant share of the loot to anyone who secures the princess’s safety!!’

Carmien’s words, which induce greed, make the rebel army’s gaze even fiercer.

Just before the fierce civil rebellion army and the princess’s troops clash,

-Doo doo doo doo doo doo… !

-Thump thump thump!!

You begin to hear the sound of horses running and people running from the nearby forest.

“What, what! “Where are the reinforcements?”

“I never asked for reinforcements… ?”

“In this situation… ?”

Both Angela and Carmien could not think of anyone who could help them, so both of them could only express doubts.

A situation where it is impossible to identify who the people running on horseback are. If I remember correctly, the waving flag…

“Ivory… !”

“W-what is that!! “How did you get there so quickly on this rainy day?!”

Although it is a Korean-American territory, it is one of the few territories occupied by the People’s Revolutionary Army. It was also a place of great significance because it was the place where a traitor from a noble family came from.

‘It was the People’s Revolutionary Army’s mistake to leave only a few executives in that place.’

A moment of silence between the ordinary soldiers and the rebels who had not yet grasped the situation,

“Reinforcements have arrived!! “Reinforcements have arrived to kill the rebels in the Ivory Territory!!”

Angela did not miss the opportunity.

Everyone, regardless of whether the imperial army or the civil rebel army, heard those words clearly, and their joys and sorrows were sharply divided.

“Now that I think about it, I heard that Ivorys Territory has been recaptured! “That too from a young male driver!!”

“Handsome?”

“I heard you’re handsome?”

“Crazy, you can see our faces, right? “I wish I could see your face just once.”

The imperial army led by Angela’s morale rises as the atmosphere brightens.

“Ivory’s territory is where the Berlia sisters were… ! Those crazy assault tank sisters.”

“I heard they killed him by cutting him in half with a sword… “They say he floats his sword in the air and kills people with magic.”

“Hey, I’ve heard that before! It is said that sword masters dance their swords in the air when they reach a certain level. Then, is the knight a master or not…? ?”

The rebel army is clearly anxious.

The voices are getting closer, and the time to choose is getting closer.

“…Ugh, retreat all the soldiers! “Retreat.”

“Hey, Carmien. In the current situation, retreat is… “

“You can’t see the soldiers right now!! There is no need to sacrifice them here. We are wizards. It’s much better to kill them from a prepared location. “This operation had to be prepared in a hurry anyway, so she didn’t like it.”

“But if it’s a little too much… “

“Fight while calculating variables without even knowing the enemy’s strength? That’s unbecoming a wizard. “No matter how much you are only in the 3rd circle, it would be better if you had the brains to think about that.”

Carmien lacked magical ability, not strategic ability. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to put Angela in a crisis like this from her position as a top executive.

“Retreat quickly! Everyone follow me!!!”

From noble mtl dot com

At Carmien’s cry, the rebel forces gathered in order and began to retreat.

“Princess! Enemies who are retreating even now… !”

“Stop, Lord Berly. The enemies are wizards. They may have prepared something we don’t know about. “For now, let’s focus on the significance of escaping from a dangerous situation.”

Knowing that Carmien, who had been her opponent for several days, was not a very forgiving opponent, Angela forbade pursuit of her retreating troops.

When a certain amount of time had passed and the appearance of the rebel army began to disappear from sight,

“Your Highness!!!”

Angela was relieved to see Anne running towards her at the fastest pace.

“Good job, Sir Anne. “Thanks to you, I was able to overcome the crisis.”

“What happened…?” ?”

“Let me tell you something. It was my mistake. “I’m glad you came.”

-Doo doo doo doo doo…

Soon other horses arrived,

“Wow, wow…” That’s the driver, right?

“Crazy… “He is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“That’s what male knights look like… “

“No. When I was in the south, I saw the male knights of the Holy Kingdom… “

The relaxed soldiers began to mutter,

John appeared through the crowd.

“It’s been a while, princess.”

“…”

“Princess?”

“Ah, ah. “I’m sorry, Sir John.”

Angela, who had been dazed for a moment, came to her senses when she saw Yohan approaching her on a rainy day, combing his wet yellow hair.

Because the war had just begun.

* * *

“Thank you, Sir John. “Thanks to you, I was able to safely overcome the possibility of major damage.”

“I’m glad I could be of help, Your Highness. “Are you okay and uninjured?”

When I arrived at the barracks, I had the opportunity to meet alone with the princess and her commander. Although he is the commander of less than 100 troops, he has only four knights and his skills have already been proven in the Ivory Territory. Fortunately, I was able to receive treatment commensurate with my abilities.

“I’m fine. However, the situation became a bit difficult due to the numerical inferiority… “We didn’t have enough troops to deal with the monsters, but your coming was a great help.”

“Isn’t it a contract with the princess? “We must provide appropriate help.”

“…That’s right. Contract. It’s a contract… “

Angela looks disappointed, but I have no intention of piercing her nose just yet.

Her status as a princess is enough to make my future activities easier, but she still lacks the merits I can gain compared to her other princesses.

2 Since the princess has a bad relationship with her aunt Lana, she honestly doesn’t want to expect much… In that case, we may need to cooperate.

I have no intention of going with the original story of the game. It wasn’t a story where good and evil were decided from the beginning, and there were only likes and dislikes.

It’s not a game with an ending, so the idea that I should create the ending myself is an old idea that I considered in the early days of being possessed.

Therefore, I had to make it clear that the reason I was helping her now was because of her one-time contract. Because I have not yet achieved a level of power that causes me to go crazy in the competition for succession to the throne.

“It’s unfortunate. As with Sir Lana, it certainly doesn’t seem easy for Sir John either. “I thought men liked romantic stories like loyal knights and such.”

“An ordinary man like that wouldn’t have been able to write an article. “There is no way I could have helped the princess like this.”

“hahahahaha! You are right! Yes, that’s right. “The person who will help me is not a man in love with romance, but a knight who can cut down his enemies.”

Relieved to see Angela quickly putting her mind together and showing me favor again, I looked at her map as she unfolded it.

“Now then, I will explain the joint operation between you and me, and before that, the overall current situation of the war.”

A detailed map of southern territories and circles made up of various colors.

My conversation with her continued for quite a long time as she kept up with the heat of battle about him.
