Chapter 441: Are they making light of us?I could tell that it was an immortal soldier in front of me by looking at its empty eyes.
「Sophia! Maria! They won’t stop till their heads drop to the ground!」
「「Yes!」」
I called out to Sophia and Maria, then I swung Ice Bringer, slicing the Immortal Soldier’s neck.
As I dodged the incoming sword, I cut its right arm.
The superficial attack was ineffective towards the Immortal Soldier. The man whose arm fell off, without showing any signs of feeling any pain or dread, attacked with his spare knife.
I stabbed the knife-wielding hand of the now one armed immortal soldier. His left arm froze, inhibiting his movements despite his intent.
「This is the end.」
I stabbed his throat with Ice Bringer and his neck froze. When I knocked him over with my spear, he fell and stopped moving completely.
I’d like to clean up the immortal soldier before the Black Ogre comes.
I glanced left and right to see how things were going, Tsubaki and Titan were wreaking havoc. It seems like the resistance of the organization was diminishing.
It was then. The Black Ogre roared and came running into my field of view at a speed that was unthinkable for a normal ogre.
「Sophia, Maria! Ill leave this to you!」
「Yes! Luck be with you!」
「Please leave it to me!」
I left the enemies in the front, which included the immortal soldiers, to Sophia and Maria while I confronted the Black Ogre.
It will be okay because Akane and Laeva were observing the entire battlefield supporting everyone appropriately. The few enemies that slip through from the front that were aiming for Akane and Laeva were defeated by Marnie and Lulu-chan.
Looking around, the few enemies left started running away, but most of them were defeated by Titan and Tsubaki. In the middle, Sophia and Maria were safely annihilating the enemies up with Akane and Laeva’s[1] support. It was impossible for them to because the girls couldn’t go easy on the immortal soldiers or do things half-done. They would have continued to attack until they died.
When I looked behind Akane, there were a few enemies advancing, but Marnie and Lulu-chan seem to be finishing them off.
「Perform minimal healing on the survivors and restrain them!」
「「Yes!」」
「It’s annoying, but it can’t be helped. Those bunch of knights should hurry on over, seriously!」
Confirming that the battle has ended, I instructed everyone. Although Akane was grumbling, she began checking if the survivors were there or not with Lulu-chan and Marnie as escorts. I asked that she use minimal recovery magic on the people who weren’t dead and then bind their hands and feet.
「Master! I brought him~!」
「Good work.」
The man that Kaede had dragged in bound with her threads was glaring at me, seemingly wanting to say something, but Kaede seemed to have used her paralytic poison, so he couldn’t move, much less speak.
「Are you the leader of today’s attack? Well, you probably can’t talk right now, but I think you underestimated us too much.」
「..................」
He couldn’t speak, but I could tell from his eyes that he wants to kill me. I wonder what I did to make him resent me this much?
As I was thinking about the reason, I saw that the knight order’s horses and carriages approaching.
Now then, I have one more job to do.
