I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 11: The Red Knight Scouts Charge Towards the Royal Banner!

My heart was pounding, and even the whooshing wind couldn't drown out the roar of the engine.

Words cannot describe the emotions rising from the depths of my heart at this moment.

Indescribable!

It's even impossible to observe!

Suya wondered if she was afraid? No, it was more like excitement than fear, and more like a surge of adrenaline than excitement, and more like the impulse she felt when she first picked up a tree branch from the roadside as a child.

Complex emotions drowned out the screams and all other sounds around him.
finally--

Transformed into monotonous and desolate lines,

Deep down, only one emotion gradually remained.
greedy.

Suya wants to live!

Want more

More and more!

For nineteen years, deep in his heart, he had longed for a stage, a world where he, a wildflower who could only follow in others' footsteps and imitate them blindly, could finally shine.
Such innate physical talent should not be buried in countless tedious and monotonous daily calculations and endless social engagements and fawning!
The ability of this body to instantly recognize and perfectly replicate the same movements is a testament to a natural talent, as if it were born to be an unparalleled imitation.

【see through】!
【copy】!
[Beyond]!
then,

He made the world gasp in awe and admiration at his astonishing actions!
Logically speaking, Suya should listen to Meryl's advice.

but,

In any case
Suya's life was her own, and she couldn't gamble it on this seemingly harmless but actually incredibly resourceful Mary. This idiot was just thinking of betting his life on an operation that was completely unreliable.

The key is that she doesn't care about her life, but Suya does!
Suya was a person who valued life immensely, for no reason or excuse, simply because she didn't want to die. And this emotion alone could unleash a powerful force that she herself was unaware of.

In just five bars of chanting time,

Suya observed, discerned, and memorized the marching routes of the various units of the 10,000-strong army before him.

The main force, the Macedonian phalanx, light infantry, and companion cavalry, followed a straightforward marching route that needs no further explanation.

It is important that

Within the observable range, the routes of all 116 Macedonian scouts, either in three-person teams or temporarily in single or double formations, were identified.

Suya memorized it all.

This intelligence unfolded in his mind, forming an intricate pattern like a blooming flower, with each line of the flower representing the route of a reconnaissance cavalryman.

thus,

He compared and found the route of his disguised scout squad—

From the central banner, the troops split at the midpoint, spreading out in a Y-shape, one branch heading towards the top of the hill where Suya's trench was located, and the other extending to the right.

Furthermore, the calculations are based on the time it took for the two Macedonian scouts to ignore him, reach the top of the hill, and kill the two scouts.

right now,

The leader of the scout squad had returned to the central node and, sensing something was amiss, changed course and headed to the left.

And the time he went there—

"5."

"4."

"3."

"No, what are you chanting?!" Mary stared with her two large, jewel-like, magenta eyes, letting out a desperate, groundhog-like wail.

Suya yanked the reins with one hand, bringing the horse to a stop. While slightly squeezing the horse's belly, she pulled the reins to the right. At the same time, with her other hand, she grabbed a section of Meryl's hair and shoved it into Meryl's mouth to block it.

"Woo!"

The horse immediately turned to the right and lay sideways.

"1!"

The last number fell. Suya spurred his horse along another path where the two petals overlapped.

Front, bottom
A man dressed in a black bodysuit, over a leather armor, with long red hair and a sinister face, rode past Suya at high speed, less than three meters away!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Suya's profile as she turned her head to look in another direction, then her back.

He noticed the relatively clean back of the leather armor Suya was wearing.
I saw the bouquet of white roses that Suya was holding.
They saw Suya galloping down a completely different route, which should belong to the 42nd Squad's reconnaissance route.

He was somewhat confused; the figure seemed vaguely familiar.

But he didn't think too much about it.

After all, this person was heading towards another squad, and there were many people in the army with similar builds, so it was impossible for him, as a temporary worker, to recognize them all.

As for why we're holding flowers?

Who knows, maybe it was picked on the spot and intended to be given to a girl in the logistics corps that followed the conqueror's army after the war?
In less than a second,
Suya narrowly missed this professional assassin.

quickly,

A man with long red hair and a sinister face rode his horse up the hill.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
There were no scouts laughing and joking among the new recruits, nor the sound of warhorses galloping and clattering on the ground.

Only the faint mournful cries of two horses could be heard.

The man named Shugus sensed that something was wrong.

He continued on his way.
The enhanced senses of a professional assassin allowed him to distinguish the stench of blood mixed with horse manure and grass roots in the air from dozens of meters away. It wasn't just one person; it was three.

The scent was coming from the direction of the knight who had just brushed past him, and the smell of blood emanating from him.

It's exactly the same!
Seconds later, he reached the trench and saw three bodies inside.

The two corpses were two greenhorn recruits under his command.

Last night, they even respectfully brought him a plate of homemade Musa Ka, hoping to learn from him how to use the [Swift Step] combat technique, saying that this strange movement was like the dance steps of their hometown, and that the girls would definitely like it.

Xiu Gus's expression turned completely cold.

He had an idea.

Roses bloom in May-June and September-October.
And now-

It's August.

The flower buds haven't even sprouted yet!
#
"drive!"

Suya strained with all her might, spurring the horse's belly, roaring and trembling as she pulled the reins to the left.

Mary pried open his trembling hands.

A look of terror finally appeared on her face.
But deep down, she wasn't sure whether it was fear or enjoyment.

When she maliciously placed Suya in this life-or-death Russian roulette game, Suya, as her temporary companion, grabbed her and pulled her away.
He dragged her back up into this abyss of gambling where there was no chance of survival!

right now,

Even at the cost of overdrawing her magic power, she couldn't possibly escape this place alone.

Because Suya reversed the path again.

He was charging madly toward the Macedonian royal banner!

She had been completely trapped within the formation of the Macedonian army. Under the influence of the formation's spontaneous formation on magic, her level and reserves of magic were no longer sufficient to sustain illusion magic for the entire duration of the war.

And now,
They are about to face the knights guarding the central path!
"Who are you!?"

Two knights on guard on the outer edge of the central army frowned as they watched Suya galloping towards them, carrying flowers. But as he drew closer and they saw his face, their expressions changed slightly.

"Knight, what happened to you!?"

"I have urgent military intelligence to report to the general!"

"It concerns the whereabouts of Arthur Pendragon, son of King Uther and future King of Britain!"

"I don't have long to live!"

"Get out of here!"
