67 - 066 Captain Walker

Sudden death of Lt. Cheb.

With it, two problems arose.

"That's just a bunch of other stuff. ......"

The first is this.

"You're Captain Walker of the cavalry."

Although Lt. Cheb was mainly a magic puppet, he was not a bad single combatant.

He was unable to put up any resistance, and his life was taken.

What's more, I couldn't detect his presence. It would have been a different story if I had taken the brunt of it, but even so, I was completely unnoticed, and my friend was killed.

I can say that they are on a different level from the two I defeated. That such an opponent had appeared in front of me.

"Lilt......, I think we're finally being cornered. ......?　This."

Another problem.

If Lt. Cheb is dead, that means the magic puppet surgeon is dead.

That means we're both alone in the middle of enemy territory.

"What do we do?　Do we run the way we came, or do we just keep going?　Or if you can use magic to run up that cliff over there, I can at least clear a path for you to get there."

Do you think I'll let you?

The enemy general, Walker, smiles wryly.

The cavalry, led by Walker, surrounds us.

There was nowhere to run.

"It's going to take a while for our allies to catch up with us here. ...... It's a pretty tough situation."

"This is no time to be leisurely, is it?　Anyway, just point me in the best direction for you to escape and I'll go wild!　You're the only one I can at least let go."

Awen was a really nice guy.

"I'll be fine."

He says to Awen as he turns to face the walkers who have been asking how he is doing.

"I've prepared for this."

"You idiot!　You're not going to die!

"I'm not going to die. I've just been preparing for it to happen."

What⁉

The walkers, who have been showing their composure for some time, are astonished.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa⁉

Awen was also surprised.

Numerous animals had jumped out of the cliffs that Awen had just used as an escape route.

"Hey⁉ Calm down⁉

To the walkers and the cavalrymen, it was a small matter, but the sudden appearance of the wild animals confused the horses they were riding.

Of course, our horses were also running amok, and Awen was having a hard time taming them. ...... If he had known this was going to happen, he would have just dismounted ahead of time.

"Sorry to spring this on you, but I'm going to take your head.

"⁉When did you get here?

He ran through the confusion of the horses and came right up to the walker's throat at once.

"Don't you dare lick my lips⁉"

The walkers were on top of the rampaging horses, but they still faced us with their spears at the ready.

"Hmph!"

The spear is pointed straight at ...... me, no, with a few feints mixed in.

But .......

You're late.

"What ...... is ......?"

He ducks the attack and uses the point as a foothold to get close to the walker at once.

He lands a fatal blow on the helpless walker.
