I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 12 The Knight Holding a Rose High!

Suya's appearance at this time can only be described as stunning!
The scout he was impersonating was the very one he had killed with his Iron Mountain Lean and Spinning Sword.
The blade embedded itself in the opponent's face, severing half of the nose from the forehead to the brow, and cutting deep into the jawbone, tearing open the flesh and revealing the stark white bone.

Under the disguise of Meryl's illusion magic, in the eyes of outsiders, Sua was currently acting with a face that was almost certainly doomed to die.

Therefore,
Even though the two knights guarding the central route were both experienced and seasoned warriors who had seen much of the world,

But seeing Suya with such a lifelike, dead face, they couldn't help but be startled. And when they heard Suya shout out information from afar that was even more shocking than his face, their shock intensified.

"What did you say!? Arthur Pendragon?"

The knight on the left gripped his lance tightly and demanded in a low voice,

Where is he?!

Arthur Pendragon is currently unknown, and his apparent identity is merely the adopted son of a knight. He naturally doesn't know who this person is, but he knows the significance of being the son of King Uther and the King of all Britain that Sua mentioned!
The horse's hooves pounded the ground, the whistling wind whipped past her cheeks, and tossed Suya's golden, shimmering hair.

The distance between the two sides closed rapidly.
However, the two knights in front of them showed no intention of moving aside!
Suya's eyes trembled slightly as she gripped Meryl's hair and gently tugged at it.
He urgently lowered his voice and shouted:
"hint!"

Mary bit her lip, her eyes trembling with horror.
She turned her head and looked back at Suya with a shocked expression, her gaze conveying...

Are you sick?!
She couldn't understand Suya's actions, even though they had indeed reached a point where they could only escape using suggestion magic—the two knights guarding the central army were both at the peak of their professions, powerful knights who were infinitely close to the level of heroes.

But what happens after that?
What should they do then?
She had already told Suya that there was only one spell slot left, and if they continued to approach the central army, they would see more and more knights like this, until they got closer to the Macedonian royal banner, and they would even encounter a hero-level figure.

If such a terrifying being were to be encountered, it wouldn't even be necessary to encounter such a person; as long as there is a professional-level magician of the same rank as her in the enemy's army, their disguises would be easily torn apart.

but now--

"Five seconds, only five seconds, you have to convince them!"

Meili clenched her teeth, interlaced her fingers, pressed her thumbs and little fingers together, and quickly recited a short incantation. Then she pulled a gold chain from her sleeve, causing a red gemstone hanging at the end to dangle in front of her eyes.

"Askeleperius Magnetorheic Disturbance!"

To outsiders, however, the scout red knight with a ferocious expression was raising the bouquet of roses high in his hand!
In response to this action, Suya spurred his horse's flanks, urging it to charge forward again, while simultaneously roaring at the two knights:

"I want to see 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!"

The same words echoed in the ears of the two knights who were blocking their way.

The sudden roar, which even drowned out the rumbling of marching, startled the light infantry regiment not far away, causing many soldiers to turn their heads to look!

However, this time,
As the two closed to within ten meters, upon seeing Suya's ferocious, blood-spitting face, which looked as if she would breathe her last at any moment...

The two knights' eyes trembled slightly, and at that moment they simultaneously understood—

This knight, he really looks like he's going to die.

His current actions are entirely driven by his loyalty to the king and the general; he is now reduced to a mechanical mindset, barely enough to carry out the actions he dictates.
Only by meeting the general can he receive the honor he deserves!

but,
This time, it's still the knight on the left.
He had already accepted Suya's loyalty, but out of a sense of duty, he still asked one more question:
"Cavaliers, where are your teammates?"

Suya's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed involuntarily, but quickly, thanks to the newfound ability of the Deceitful class, he almost instinctively discerned from the expression of the Knight on the left...
This was not a malicious inquiry, but a question that came out naturally and out of habit.

The distance between the two sides has decreased by 5 meters!
Suya forcibly controlled her facial muscles, revealing a blank expression, her gaze becoming disordered, her eyeballs trembling erratically in their sockets.

His eyes were wide open, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering and trembling.
"Dead. All dead, only me. Me."

The violent trembling and terrified expression perfectly captured Suya's genuine feelings as he killed the two scouts.
That kind of immoral pleasure,
That kind of fear and unease,
That feeling of helplessness—when all the rules of the past were shattered, and one was instantly plunged into a world governed only by the law of the jungle. "Huh?"

At last,
He looked puzzled and muttered to himself in a daze.

Why is it only me? Not me—

"--knight!"

Just then, a roar tinged with sorrow and anger startled Suya awake.
Snapped!
The knight on the right raised his hand, drew his lance, and swung it hard, striking the rump of his teammate's horse on the left. Startled, the horse immediately leaped several meters to the side, clearing the way.

"enough!"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?!"

"He's already unconscious, Lars, are you really going to let him lose even his last vestige of knightly honor!?"

"I understand, but... report the intelligence to us first, and we will relay it."

The knight on the right spurred his horse to the left almost simultaneously with his movement.
He paved a fairly wide road for Suya.

then,

The two knights silently raised their heads.
Watching Suya, holding a bouquet of white roses, ride her horse past like a whirlwind!
Though weak, they are unyielding.
Loyal even in the face of death!
They simultaneously raised their right hands and tapped their breastplates with their gauntlets!
Show this true knight the highest chivalrous respect!
The knight, Lars, watching Sua's retreating figure, suddenly shouted as if to remind her:
"--knight!"

"General Seleucus has charged into the enemy ranks alone!"

"You should immediately report the intelligence to Hector, the cavalry commander; he is under the royal banner!"

The knight holding the bouquet of roses did not turn around.

With his eyes wide open, he rode his warhorse close to the side of the army of ten thousand!

The military formation around him was like a sea of ​​people flowing against the current, howling as it was pulled away by the gale and faded away!

All the Macedonian soldiers were there on this day.
I have met such a loyal and devoted knight!

Until the knight crossed the bend in the winding army formation and disappeared on the only road leading to the royal banner.

#
On horseback, Meryl stared in awe at the surging crowd around her.
Along the way, no cavalry or scouts questioned them further.
Smooth road ahead
Moreover, there was a distance of three meters between them and the approaching light infantry regiment, as if such a path should have existed naturally within this huge and sophisticated war machine.

They quickly traversed the military formation and approached the royal banner.

But not far from the royal flag, Suya suddenly turned his horse around and galloped toward the flank of the army formation, which was the escape route that Meili had initially pointed out.

Although this process attracted the attention of a few people, it was quickly forgotten in the overall advancing army formation.

Melie looked back at Sua with some disbelief.

then,

Then they saw Suya lower her head and look back at them with a look of lingering fear.

"What are you all standing there for? Dispel the illusion, we need to change our identities and run away!"

Mary is still a bit dazed.

"Aren't we going to report to that cavalry captain Hector?"

"No way, are you stupid?!"
