Chapter 151

–Aegir POV–

「It’s a night attack-!!」

My eyes open to the shouts of the lookout and I rock Celia awake .

「Put on your armor!」

「Funya……mu-! Yessir!!」

We go outside after arming ourselves as fast as possible to see an intense clashing of swords already happening . As predicted, they snuck past the gaps in the city walls to attack us .

The soldiers were taking turns to sleep so a couple of them were already awake, but you can see the fatigue in their eyes . Because of the rain, there isn’t much light either so not much detail is known, but it doesn’t seem like an attack consisting of a large number of enemies . With night attacks, there is a possibility of friendly fire if performed with a big group after all . This is probably closer to harassment, just to tire us out .

「Don’t falter! There aren’t many of them, chase them back!!」

Celia slices upward from the crotch of the enemy who charges at me while I’m shouting .

「Dohyaaaa!!」

It cuts in quite deep .

Celia’s height has something to do with it too, but she often aims for the enemy’s crotch or thighs . It’s easier to cut their heads off though, isn’t it?

「This bitch!」

Two enemies follow up and slash at Celia, but she rolls forward to dodge them before slicing at one of the man’s ankles . The man got the tendons in his ankles cut and falls over but the other one attempts to kick Celia as she stands up .

「Hey . 」

I grab the man by the helmet and pull him towards me .

「Hiiih!」

「Don’t touch my woman!」

I make a fist with both hands and punch his head through the helmet from both sides . His head is left ringing for a while and fluids start leaking from various places .

「Aegir-sama!」

「Be careful, Celia . I’ll cry if you get hurt . 」

I warn her while piercing an enemy soldier’s stomach with my spear and tossing him aside .

「Yes! Aegir-sama too!」

Celia tosses her swords up in the air and grabs the short swords at her waist, throwing them with both hands before grabbing the fallen swords . The two short swords she thrown accurately hit two enemies because I could hear their cries of agony . She’s skilled in a lot of different ways .

At that time, I could hear someone making a fuss near the stables . It seems the enemy was trying to sneakily steal the horses .

「Wh-what’s with this one!」

「Gyaaah!」

When I run over, I see Schwartz holding down four enemies – three to be exact, since one has already been trampled to death .

「Enough of this! Just kill it!」

「This thing-……!」

Before the sword could hit its target, Schwartz snaps his hind legs to give the man a vicious kick, sending the man flying and crushing his skull in the process . He tackles the other enemy in front of him with his body and mercilessly drops his hooves on the fallen enemy .

「Gyaaaaah!!」

Schwartz, who weighs more than one ton, easily crushes the enemy, making a snapping sound similar to a dead tree being stepped on .

「This-! …………huh?」

The enemy was about to get into a stance with his spear, but his hand and that spear have already dropped to the ground .

「Sorry, this is my horse, you see, so could you stop messing around with him?」

「Aaaaaaah……aaaaaaaaaaaah……!!」

He stares blankly at the hand he lost and didn’t register anything I said . I’ll finish him off quickly .

I cleanly stab the unresisting man in the heart before jumping on Schwartz .

「Celia, take command of the troops . I’m……heading out for a bit . 」

The enemy is continuing to flood in from the hole in the city walls . In other words, there should only be enemies in that direction and I don’t have to worry about friendly fire when I go wild .

「We’re charging in, let’s go . 」

Schwartz seems to have gotten worked up after getting rid of three people . I’ll let him rampage as much as he wants .

「Rush in!!」

The jet black Schwartz dashes forward, heading into the pitch black darkness .

「Uwaah! Wh-what the-!? Gyaaah!!」

I charge straight into a line of enemy soldiers on Schwartz . With one strike of my spear, I knock back several enemies while Schwartz tramples over any enemies in the way .

We don’t give them any time to respond . The sound of galloping hooves resonate in the night as I take out the surprised enemies one after the other . In the first place, it was presumed the night battle would be from close range and weapons like bows and bowguns would not be used due to the risk of friendly fire . Even long spears would get in the way, so the enemy army’s main weapons consisted of short spears and swords, meaning I’m free to hunt all of them down .

「11! 12!」

Using the momentum from charging, I stab through the 13th person and pierce through his body, and use the remaining energy to puncture the 14th person too . As one would expect, it would be too heavy for one hand to lift, so I drag the two people skewered on my spear like dango and pull out my Dual Crater with my left hand . As I pass by each person on horseback, I slice them one by one, causing them to stare dumbfoundedly and stop moving entirely, but I hear screams from behind me a bit later . There’s probably a time lag as the bodies slide apart after being sliced .

I reach the center of the enemy after charging for some time . It would be bad if I get surrounded .

「H-hey, isn’t that an enemy!?」

「Surround him! With everyone……」

「Schwartz, turn left!」

Schwartz stops on a dime and twists his body to the left .

「UOoooh!!」

Because I was dragging it around on the ground, part of the bodies on my spear have torn off, but I use my strength to force it up off the ground . I can feel the muscles in my right arm bulging out .

「Dorryaaa!!」

As I swing down on the enemies coming at me from the front, a terrifying sound echoes . Judging from the impact, close to 10 people were sent flying back……and the two who were skewered on my spear have flown somewhere too . Now it’s much lighter .

「Mo-monster, that horse and rider are both demons!」

「There’s no way we could defeat someone like this……I don’t want to die yet!!」

This should have broken their spirits, but a spear suddenly lunges at me from the darkness . There’s no
