In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

Vivian, who was originally taking care of the child, was suddenly called over. She asked in confusion:

"How many of them are there?"

"More than two hundred people."

Sir Ector looked serious.

Although in comparison, their military strength is indeed slightly inferior.

But Sir Ector was still confident that he could defeat the Saxons, but it would come at a certain price.

"Eh?"

Vivian tilted her head in confusion, "Do you need my help?"

"Yes."

Sir Ector said solemnly, "We need your power as a magician!"

If Morgan could help, their casualties could be greatly reduced.

and……

He was also worried about leaving Morgan alone in the manor.

"OK then."

Vivian thought about it and nodded to agree to help.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Sir Ector breathed a sigh of relief. On the other side, Kai had already prepared a carriage, which was specially prepared for Vivian and Melyucina. After all, they didn't look like they could ride horses.

The group set out in a mighty procession, under the guidance of a peasant woman who called herself Ai Pu.

They advanced cautiously into the depths of the forest, but did not encounter any enemies until they arrived near the Saxon camp.

But this not only failed to make Sir Ector feel relieved, but made his brows frown even deeper.

Since these Saxons did not show up, they were either lying in ambush somewhere or chasing after Altria and Kira Yoshikage.

Either situation is not good news, they must meet up with Kira Yoshikage and the others as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Sir Ector thought there would be a tough battle, but he found out when they entered the camp.

There were no Saxons here, just a group of panic-stricken women gathered in the middle of the camp.

No, there are still Saxons. The bodies piled up haphazardly in the corner of the camp are those of the Saxons.

But the current situation was completely beyond Sir Ector's expectations.

Sir Ector summoned several of the women and asked:

"And the Saxons?"

The women looked at each other and asked cautiously:

"Sir, didn't you kill them all?"

Sir Ector sensed something was wrong and continued to ask:

"I mean, what about the other Saxons besides those in the camp? They never came back?"

"Of course not, sir."

The woman thought he was asking if there were any survivors, and immediately replied in panic:

"How can we protect them when not a single Saxon has returned alive?"

"..."

Sir Ector frowned. He didn't see many corpses on the way here. He only saw three corpses on the side of the road.

Including those in the camp, there were only a dozen bodies in total.

With Altria's military strength, it would be easy to kill all these people.

But doesn’t the intelligence say that there are more than 200 Saxons?

What about the rest?

"Father!"

Kai seemed to have discovered something and immediately exclaimed and called Sir Hector over.

It was a tent, filled with a large number of sophisticated weapons packed in wooden boxes.

Except for a small number of empty wooden boxes, the remaining boxes did not even have weapons taken away.

"Please repeat what you said before."

Sir Ector again questioned the peasant woman who called herself Epp, and the latter repeated it in panic.

This also made Sir Ector fall silent again, because he suddenly realized -

The Saxons must have really all died, otherwise they would not have left these weapons here to gather dust.

Kira Yoshikage had someone bring him a message, simply asking him to take over the camp, not asking for help.

However, Sir Ector still felt that something was wrong.

It is not uncommon for a knight with superb weapons to kill hundreds of people single-handedly.

But the question is, where is the body?

Although people die when they are killed, there must be a body even if they are dead, right? Where is the body?

"So, where do you need my help?"

Vivian muttered quietly in the carriage, and Melyuchina tilted her little head and stretched out her little hand to try to smooth Vivian's frown.

-----------------

Leaving the Saxon camp, Artoria rode her warhorse along the path through the forest and returned to the endless plains.

Just like in Ector County, there are also a large number of serfs and free people working in the fields.

But this place belongs to another noble, another great noble who has an old ties with Ector.

"This is Walker Territory."

Altria asked, "Are we going to the castle?"

Kirara Yoshikage looked at her deeply and said in response:

"Then let's find out where the castle is first."

This answer did not surprise Altria, because she had already guessed it in her heart. After all, Altria was not stupid. How could she not guess what Kira Yoshikage's purpose was at this point?

but,

"I always feel a little uneasy..."

Altria looked a little worried.

She was not worried about her own safety. Although it was indeed a bit dangerous for two people to enter the territory of hostile nobles alone, Altria was not afraid of danger.

What she was struggling with was whether sneaking into enemy territory and assassinating the enemy leader was really in line with the chivalry she had always followed?

Kirara Yoshikage asked:

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"..."

Altria opened her mouth but was unable to speak.

Now that they have come this far, there is no way she would let Kira Yoshikage give up.

Kirara Yoshikage saw the girl's dilemma and spoke calmly:

"In wars throughout history, people have used the pig's tactics successfully time and again. When attacked, they will press their buttocks against the wall, so that you can't catch their tails, and finally they will be helpless. If you are not careful, they may bite you with their sharp teeth and won't let go."

Altria thought:

"Teacher means that in order to attack the enemy, we must first protect our own vulnerable parts. That's why we have to enter the forest first and eliminate the Saxons entrenched in it. The purpose of notifying Ector to take over the Saxon camp is also for this purpose, so that he can quickly enter Walker Territory from the forest to meet us!"

Altria's eyes lit up, and she spoke faster and faster, as if she had realized the true meaning of life. Sneaking into enemy territory to assassinate the enemy leader might not be in line with the code of chivalry, but if you attack with the support of Sir Ector, then there is absolutely no problem!

"Do not."

Kira Yoshikage shook his head. "What I mean is that to kill a pig, you either cut its neck to let the blood flow, or you chop off its head directly. This tactic is generally called the decapitation tactic, and no matter what era it is, the decapitation tactic is the most efficient."

"what?"

Altria looked confused, although she also felt that what Kira Yoshikage said was right, because no matter how strong the pig was, how big it was, or how sharp its teeth were, as long as its head was chopped off, no matter how hard the pig struggled, it would be in vain.

But is it really that simple?

Even if we put aside the issue of whether assassination is in line with chivalry, if this pig is really tall and strong, with sharp teeth, even if it is a pig, it is still a wild boar, or even a pig king. How could such a pig stand there and be beheaded?

Altria's worries are not unreasonable. After all, although the decapitation tactic is highly efficient, there are also ultimate tough guys in this world who have been assassinated 634 times and are still alive.

What if the same thing happened to Lord Walker?
