Chapter 31: The power to protect in the left hand, and the power to pierce in the right hand.

What the hell? That white KOG is

Sir Knight, is it okay if I shoot it down?

Yes, Rhode-sama has ordered us to take it out.

But Ive never seen Commander so shaken up before, somethings wrong with that KOG.

All right, boys! Were doing the same thing! Set up a barrage!

Aye, sir!

The Knight Commanders instructions were precise.

A barrage from a distance, no technical difference can be made here.

No matter how ridiculous the combat techniques are, they are meaningless in front of this bombardment of bullets.

Kenya himself has just realized this.

If it were an ordinary KOG, they would have been enough to eliminate it completely.

If it were an ordinary. That is.

Ready! Shooting!

Immediately afterwards, a triangular pyramid-shaped shield appears in front of the white KOG.

Like a spear, it charges towards here with its shield in place.

Its speed was not comparable to that of the KOGs up to now, and was like a white bullet.

Fire, fire!

The chief knight, who could not hide his agitation, still succeeded in setting up a barrage because there was a sufficient distance.

Although succeeded, but.

! We are being played!

Everything is swept backwards by its spear-like shield.

A white mass moving at high speed, like a bolt of lightning.

And then, in an instant, into the bosom.

What the hell is this guy!!!!

Its spear-like shield deforms and transforms into two huge swords.

Kenya holds the swords with both hands.

That stance is like.

Its Miyamoto Musashi, isnt it? Tanaka murmurs, the name of two-handed swordsman. (Notes: Miyamoto Musashi, also known as Shinmen Takezo, Miyamoto Bennosuke or, by his Buddhist name, Niten Doraku, was a Japanese swordsman, philosopher, strategist, writer and Ronin, who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 61 duels.)

Sword in his right hand, sword in his left, and defeat for his enemies.

In the previous world, the Takemikazuchi was a model built in the image of that swordsman.

At Kenyas suggestion, the Takemikazuchi is equipped with a shield for closing the distance and two transforming swords.

It is an extraordinary model specializing in close proximity, with no long-range weapons whatsoever.

At first Tanaka was skeptical about whether he could handle such a thing on the battlefield, but his fears were unfounded.

The distance between the two loosely poised swords is Kenyas absolute domain.

Within that range, it is impossible to defend against, and no one can withstand it.

As many as 15 KOGs in that area were all struck down in less than a minute.

The absolute domain of Kenya, later called the White Domain, is greeted with awe and respect by allies and enemies alike.

In that space, only that majestic white KOG was allowed to exist.

If its me, Takemikazuchi and I wont lose !

Kenya was happy.

That he could survive and that he had been given the strength to fight.

And that he could fight with all his might in his beloved KOG.

And when he looked up at the sky, he saw an enormous black shadow.

An army of more than 70 large units.

Come on, as many as you can. Now.

Kenya smirks.

I dont think Id lose even in 100 vs 1!

***

What the hell is that Seig! Ive nave seen that thing!!!

Rhode stands up from his throne.

Then there is no need to chase them.

Because the winner of this place has already been decided.

***

Hmph, haha! What the hell! It cant be, this cant be! Its not even a bad joke, its impossible.

Rhodes voice shakes with laughter.

He laughs high in defeat, as if he has broken down, and leans back on his throne without strength.

I lost, didnt I? I am. I got smashed all to pieces, and the strategy as well, in half. First time Ive ever lost on the battlefield.

Rh, Rhode

On this day, Rhodes unbeaten legend came to an end.

By one single irregularity.

So it was only one tactic that surpassed strategy. Order Argo to withdraw, the winner of this battlefield has already been decided.

, yes.

Argo, the commander, who had been left to his own devices.

Rhodes instructions were precise, and everything was absolutely correct.

We were supposed to get the best, the best, that is, the promised victory.

And yet, we lost.

Why did we lose?

The only reason was obvious.

Because that white KOG had defied all our strategies.

Because he outperformed the macro on the micro and turned an overwhelming defeat into a crushing victory.

Withdraw all forces withdraw, the operation is over.

In a trembling voice, Argo gives the order.

All Empire Imperial troops, including infantry on the battlefield, began to withdraw.

Youve pulled back, .

Kenya murmurs at the sight.

He leaned back in his cockpit seat without any strength.

He felt no sense of achievement, even though he had won.

There was a lot of damage and many people died.

Many people died, both on our side and on the enemys side, and we killed and were killed.

And yet.

What did we gain? Each other. What was created after so many deaths?

Only the dead were created.

What was created and what was gained from this battle?

Only what was lost could Kenya think of.

It is the same for the enemy.

The only thing I know is that in order to protect, I need power.

If I didnt fight, if I didnt have this power, Kaguya would have died here.

So I have no regrets.

Still, I cant help but cry thinking about what I lost.

I remember the hand I couldnt grasp at the time, and the tears that were directed at me.

I will become stronger. More. So much so that I can protect them all. With these two hands.

Kenya awakened and triumphed.

Rhode, who was defeated on the battlefield for the first time.

On the day the two boys meet for the first time on the battlefield, the wheels of a gigantic destiny begin to mesh and turn.

This is the story of two geniuses who develop into a battle that changes the state of the world.

This encounter creates a new route into this world.

But now.

Sorry, Tanaka-san. Im going to sleep a little.

The knight who had fought so hard that his brain burned out, fell asleep.

With that white knight, ready for the next battle.
