Chapter 67: Brynie’s End
Kuh.to put in such a trap.
Oh, youre still alive after that explosion?
The stubborn princess knight Eleonora.
When the dust caused by the huge explosion cleared up, most of their knights and horses are lying on their back, unmoving.
There are a very few of them that are still barely breathing and can groan.
In this situation, among those who were blown away, only the vice general Eleonora has still the power to stand up.
It seems like her durability is high.
Perhaps her crimson flame armor and mantle are very expensive. They are probably high-performance magic armor.
In this world, it is a good magic gap-widening/narrowing item.
She didnt die even after being bombed. Her magic armor resistance is unquestionable.
Since she didnt die, shell only need to drink healing potion and shell be fine.
No matter what you do, I will not submit. If you truly are a knight, fight me fair and square, Silesies hero!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Yoshi, guys, tie that fellow with an iron chain!
The other party is troublesome if not dealt with properly so I had my personal guards to surround her.
If we tie her with a rope, it will just burn because of her fire armor so it is troublesome to catch her.
Therefore, we have no choice but to surround her then roll iron chains around her.
The other party is the princess knight so I can fetch a lot of money as ransom for her later. Shes basically a bonus character.
Kuhusing numbers to surround me then tying me with rough chains, you shameless coward! What are you going to do with me? You will definitely not be forgiven if you rape a knight! And even if you use that method to deal with me, I will not yield!
Haayoure already a prisoner so cant you be quiet?
By the way, no matter how great that armor was, since she was blown off by the explosion and hit the ground, it should have been damaged.
But why is this girl still energetic?
Maa, I should recognize her power to receive beating.
I looked at the heavy infantry with large shields with scarlet hawk emblem on them. They are directly under the princess knights command.
Im sure they saw Eleonora being tied by iron chains but they still threw their weapons.
They did not even think of saving her.
All of them, whether knights or soldiers, surrendered immediately.
The knights declared their submission, if they pay ransom, they will be released. Even the soldiers did not resist.
They might not be willing to put their life on the line for the city they dont own.
It goes without saying but the mercenaries are just hired with money.
Even if shes already bound with an iron chain, Eleonora keeps blabbering. In addition, out of nowhere, the silver-haired butler knight of the Am-Main family, Kato, came. He took her after paying two sacks full of gold coins.
Thanks to the mercenary group, were running low on funds so this ransom is truly appreciated.
For the old knight Kato who brings me gold, I can endure the filthy mouth of the princess knight Eleonora.
Silesies hero! Remember this, next time, my sword will slash that hateful neck of yours!
Yes yes, though I dont think there will be next time.
If there is, Im in trouble.
Killing Brynie, the apparent leader of the enemy, will conclude this war.
Because of that, we surrounded the city of Lauren.
When I opened the entrance of Laurens castle, which is buried in rubble, with the sword of light, the enemy knights who survived the collapse of the castle all threw their weapons including their captain.
I am Captain Rahald van Rottenmeier. We surrender so we would like to ask to be treated as knights.
Of course, anyone wholl submit will be spared.
Hearing that, all the knights raised their hands to submit.
Except for the commander-in-chief whose still clinging on the throne.
Ya, yaahh, if it isnt hero-dono, what took you so long ojaru?
It hasnt been that long.
Brynie is looking at me with gritty eyes.
Though I already expected him to survive, while theres a lot of soldiers who accompanied him were crushed, I was surprised that he is completely unscathed.
That tenacity, I never thought that Id felt fear with this idiot.
He even didnt forget to put white makeup even though hes in the middle of the battlefield. Should I consider this clown a man of preparedness?
Looking back at all the things he has done, why is he still alive and kicking here?
Since it has come to this, I surrender. I am now your captive.
Is that so? It is good that you voluntarily surrender. Now, I will let you decide how you will be executed: firing squad, hanging, decapitation, or whatever your favorite execution method is.
I-Im a descendant of the founding king Renz! I am a royal, you dare to tell me that!
Brynie, you are still saying that!
I have a bad headache. You were about to be executed in the capital and escaped to the empire.
Im not sure if one can find it funny that this guy still thinks that he can survive after being captured.
Hiih! Im sorry hero-sama! I apologize for everything I have done so far! Please forgive me!
Looking at his eyes, I can see that hes completely serious.
Brynie falls down from the throne while screaming Hii! Hii!. As he falls on the red carpet, he squeezes it and begs for his life again.
It is impossible to plead for mercy now, especially from me.
I never really understood how this guy thinks from beginning to end.
Although hes just a figurehead, a lot of soldiers, both enemy and ally, died because of this idiots command.
When I thought so, I felt frustrated.
Talk in your sleep after dying!
Hyaaaaahhh! I dont want to die! Noooooo!
The sword of light penetrated his black armor.
If I dont kill this guy right away and wait for his execution, there is a possibility that hell survive.
Gyaaaaa!
I intend to cut down the root of ruination with all I have.
I also cut his neck.
His neck made a beautiful sound.
On the tattered carpet, his heavily make-up severed head rolls.
I stand up straight.
The trembling voice of Princess Caroline, whos wearing her new glasses, is full of emotion.
While looking at the crying princesses, I was at lost for a moment then I suddenly remembered that there is a possibility of me being killed in battle.
Because I believe too much on Lyle-sensei, I never thought about losing nor prepared for it.
For the princesses who saw me off to war, they might have thought that there is a chance that it will be our last time seeing each other.
When the princess is crying for me like this, I thought that shes really pretty.
By the way
Aside from meeting the princess, there is something I wanted to do after coming home.
After I soothed the forever crying princess, I called Roll and have her heat the bath for me.
However, while thinking about how will I slowly immerse in the bath.
I realized how luxurious my casual life is compared to my life on the battlefield.
In the carriage on the way back, I thought that I wanted to take a bath slowly to my hearts content.
The problem is Ria. Shell definitely hinder my time to relax in the bath.
In the past, Im searching for gaps and corners where she might hide before entering the bathroom.
However, after seeing what Lyle-sensei did during the war, I found out that such defensive way of thinking is a mistake.
Suzanne, Claudia, enter the bath with me. Youll be my guards!
Yes!
The most important thing is offense.
Im satisfied seeing the salute Suzanne and Claudia gave.
If they can guard me at my bed, they can surely guard me in bath too.
I wonder why I never thought of it until now. Number is power!
Ano, master, what about me?
Sharon I want to relax alone in the bath. I dont want to be disturb.
Compared to my other slave girls, Sharon is fully grown up so shes a hindrance.
She the only one in my company whos talented enough to hold Ria back.
Can I go inside too?
The one who said that is a silver-haired girl who appeared behind Sharon.
Oh, its unusual for me to see her here.
Sherry, what are you doing here? What about the main branch in Est?
Sherry, a math genius, is the brain that oversees the logistics of Sawatari Trading Company. Shes an indispensable existence at our head office.
Because shes there, I can leave the company to both her and Sharon in peace and go to the front line.
Dont worry master, the head office is functioning properly. I took the opportunity to go with the group that transport the goods here since I was called by Lyle-sensei.
Youre doing something for Lyle-sensei?
The Garan mercenary group has entered our camp so there is a need to rebuild our logistics plan.
If that is the case, Sherry indeed needs to come here.
It is good that we are able to hire a large mercenary group from the empire but since there are 5,000 of them, it is difficult to cover their salary, food, and drinks.
Even if we obtain ransoms from the captured knights, it will not be enough.
Moreover, because they betrayed their former employer, the empire, they can only go to this place.
Even though the war was interrupted, I cannot arbitrarily dismiss them.
Master, here is the plan I made up in case the war situation changes. Ive already included the mercenaries you hired to our present volunteer corps.
That said, Sherry starts giving me a bundle of documents.
Even if I see them, I wont be able to understand them anymore.
Consult Lyle-sensei for the details. First of all, Sherry must be tired from her long journey. You can take a bath with us.
Yes, I will accompany you!
I pat Sherrys silver hair.
She looks pleased as I pat her. To think that this girl has a mathematical aptitude surpassing Lyle-sensei. Shes incredible enough to be thought of as a high-performance computer.
Yoshi, lets go together.
I also called Colette, whos currently cooking, and Viola, whos making ice cream next to her. After that, we called all other slave girls to join me in the bath.
This large bathhouse is a heritage of the zombie baron. It is quite large so it wont matter even if a lot of children came in.
I can take my time soaking in the bath while being with everyone. This is great.
Woops! You thought Ill forget you?
I caught Roll outside and pick her up.
Youre also going in with me.
No!
You cant say no!
This girl really hates bath. She occasionally wash herself but she wont enter the bath.
Roll, you have to go in for the sake of the dignity of dwarves. Do you want others to say that dwarf girls are dirty?
Master, even if Roll wont take bath, I will not get dirty.
What kind of constitution is that? There is no such cheat.
Wait! I still have something to do! I need to work!
I want to take a long bath so it would be good if the temperature last longer than usual.
Even though Im already lifting Rolls small body, she can still throw firewoods.
Shes really workaholic. Her passion for work is something above average.
she arrived.
Whats wrong master?
this sensation. This chill on my back.
On the other side of the darkness, shes watching this place from there. I can feel her gaze and her pressure.
That Ria, shes trying to hinder my bathing time again.
Even so, Ill fight her with number.
Im betting my relaxing bath time. This is a battle I cant afford to lose.
Ill show you what a true public bath means.
Master, Roll is cold, I want to warm up now.
Rolls body is trembling because I used her as a shield.
I didnt notice, Im sorry.
