Chapter 263

–Aegir POV–

「Spear unit, support the right! Penetrate the light infantry from the path on the the left side!」

「There is a fence placed on the left! We can’t move forward until the military engineers remove it!」

Agor’s battalion has the advantage in the fight, but can’t seem to push through the enemies who are utilizing encampments and devoting themselves to defense .

「We’re charging through from the side . 」

「Don’t fall behind Aegir-sama! Follow him!」

Celia shouts and the escort squad charges at the enemy in two columns .

After the allied soldiers open up a path for me, I finally catch a glimpse of Agor’s face .

「I’ll break past the enemy formation . Follow after me . 」

That’s all I say to him before raising my sword overhead .

The fence in front of me is buried halfway into the ground .

That makes it hard for me to destroy it and for Schwartz to charge through .

「Schwartz, do your thing afterwards . 」

I stand up on Schwartz’s back as he sprints forward, then I jump over the fence .

The enemy soldier waiting past the fence stares blankly as I land beside him .

At the same time, I swing my long sword and slash away the feet of the bowgun-holding soldier .

「Eh?」

For a second, the soldier couldn’t tell what happened even after losing his legs .

Before he could realize and let out a scream, I turn my blade to another bowgun soldier and slice off his arm .

「That makes three . 」

I pull my body back slightly before thrusting my long sword forward parallel with the ground, piercing straight through the center of the third soldier’s body, then forcibly pulling my blade up and ripping my sword out through his shoulder .

「H-he crossed the fence!」「The bowguns got taken out!」「What is that…… a sword? A spear?」

The enemy soldiers shout once they come to their senses, but by that time the bowguns who took aim at me were already cut down .

Since the spearmen stuck their weapons out through the fence, they couldn’t turn them towards me quick enough .

「Shit!」

The enemies let go of their spears and draw the swords on their hips .

But I’m not going to wait for them to get fully prepared .

「Too slow . 」

As one of them gets into a stance, my sword goes straight through the top of his head and out from the bottom of his chin .

I raise the sword which didn’t cleanly cut the first soldier, block the incoming strike from the second soldier and then knock him off his feet .

Before the man could get up, I swing my sword sideways and…… I wanted to send his head flying, but my hand went too high and my sword ended up cutting through the nose instead of the neck .

For some reason, the nearby enemies screamed more when that happened than when I cut somebody’s head off .

Seeing my large swing open up my stance, three more enemies rush in to attack .

I deliberately put my knee on the ground to lower my body and dodge their swords .

And then I, without killing the momentum from my earlier swing, continue spinning at a low orbit with my sword .

「「「Gyaa!」」」

The circular slash takes out everything below their knees, dropping three pairs of legs to the ground and causing the three torsos to somersault in the air before also
