She Was Sent by God

“Isn’t this place’s atmosphere a little unsettling?”

 

“Hmm.
Is that so? Maybe it’s because it’s foggy.”

 

Zoltan, who was riding a horse beside her, said indifferently.
The road they passed was narrow and obscured by fog, making it difficult to see.

 

We’ll be at Germo if you go over this hill, so I believe we can get there before dusk.

 

“What’s next to Germo?”

 

“It’s Solnok.”

 

Zoltan spoke firmly.
He had anticipation in his eyes.
Solnok is the last stop before arriving in the capital.
If they can conquer that area, they will be able to surround the capital.

 

“I admit that I had my doubts at first, but I had no idea that we would get this far.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

“But look, we’ve already taken seven castles; every time we conquer a city, the people have accepted us with open arms and give us generous gifts of food and medicine.”

 

As he spoke, the tip of his voice quavered a little.
His gaze was unwavering.

 

“Princess, I..”

 

“It’s a surprise attack!”

 

The two were cut off by a sobbing scream.
Then came the piercing sound of the weapons.
Zoltan pulled out a sword.
Together, the Knights under his leadership advanced.

 

“Protect the princess!”

 

Agnes was quickly surrounded by several knights who were closely following her.
The fog prevented her from understanding the situation.
She was limited to holding the reins and keeping a constant eye out for danger.

 

“Argh!”

 

Through the thick forest of trees, arrows rained down from both sides.
Simultaneously, the enemy swarmed in like a swarm of ants.

 

A fierce battle ensued.
Although Arpad’s army was large and powerful, they were having trouble because their opponent was taking advantage of the terrain.

 

“I think we should take a step back; it’s a narrow road, so fighting is inappropriate.”

 

“I’ll do that.”

 

“Yeah.
Back away, all of you!”

 

At the end of his words, everyone began to back away gradually.
The army, however, stopped moving like a clogged water hole at some point.
The knights who went to investigate the situation came back with a darkened expression.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“The exit is completely blocked.”

 

The knight, who checked the back to avoid the rain arrow, whispered in his ear.

 

“Oh God.
We’ve been completely surrounded.”

 

“What should we do?”

 

The situation was dire.
There was nowhere to flee on the narrow road, which made it even more difficult because both the front and back were blocked.

 

“We’ll have to pierce one place, front or back.”

 

She murmured in a low voice.

 

“Reika!”

 

“Yes.”

 

Reika came to her call.

 

“Can we use Meteor?”

 

“I can do it, though there’s a high probability of failure in this situation.”

 

“But give it a shot; there’s no way out unless we pierce the front.”

 

“I’ll try.”

 

Reika stated firmly.
The wizards were trembling in one spot and shaking with fear.
Swords and arrows flew everywhere.
Soldiers attempted to shield the wizards from the arrows while also shielding themselves.
Nonetheless, due to the constant influx of enemies, the magic was interrupted several times in the middle.

 

“Argh!”

 

“Help me!”

 

With long spears, the spearmen threatened the mounted soldiers, and archers fired arrows from both sides.
The Arpad army was clearly in a defensive position.
Fortunately, the fog significantly cleared, allowing them to see the enemies.

 

Should I call the beasts?

 

Agnes fiddled the back of her hand.
A large-scale summons will be painful, but it was preferable to sitting still and watching.

 

“Well, it looks like more troops are coming in from behind.”

 

“What?”

 

However, things have already taken a turn for the worse due to their number.
Large-scale troops were reported moving with a thud from a distance.
Agnes gripped the back of her hand tightly, tensed.
She was ferociously debating whether or not to call the beasts at the time.

 

“Woah!”

 

“Reinforcement!”

 

Out of nowhere, there was a loud cheer.
Simultaneously, the king’s army that was blocking the exit collapsed.
A man she adored was at the forefront of the army.

 

“Laslo.”

 

She rolled his name around on her tongue as she was unable to speak loudly.
When the enemy soldiers realized the Duke of Arpad had arrived, they were greatly shaken.
On the contrary, their morale has increased.

 

His performance was outstanding in every way.
Every time the sword was drawn, three to four soldiers would die.
No one could get in Laslo’s way in that situation.

 

“Agnes!”

 

“Laslo, you were on time; without you, we would have been in serious trouble.”

 

“What about the carrier pigeon? Did you miss my message?”

 

“I received it all six days ago.
Did you send me another one?”

 

“Oh no, I suppose an arrow struck it on the way.”

 

He frowned.
The situation was not all sorted out, but Agnes laughed.
Laslo smiled faintly too.

 

“Where did you get hurt?”

 

“Nothing.”

 

“That’s a relief.
Please stay here for a while.
I’ll be right back.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Agnes waved him off while grinning widely.
The tide has completely changed direction.
He expertly oversaw the army and defeated the enemies one after the other.

 

“It’s done, Duchess.”

 

Reika made her return with a cheery face just in time.
Agnes gave the soldiers in front of him a signal.
Once  Zoltan saw it, he ordered the army to return.
Ten wizards huddled close to Reika as she chanted the spell, muttering it simultaneously.
A light exploded at one point, and huge stones started to fall from the sky.

 

“M, Magic…….”

 

“Argh, run away!”

 

Reika’s cool hand went down.
At the same time, rock piles rained down on the enemy.
Human screams were scarce.
The sound of bones and flesh breaking and crumpling was the only sound present.
There emerged a dust cloud.
The enemy was totally destroyed, and there was a mountain of shattered stones.

 

“Wow!”

 

“We won!”

 

There was an uncontrollable roar.
The elite soldiers who had traveled with Laslo and had just seen the scene for the first time had their mouths open.

 

“It’s really… It’s great.
It’s nothing like the experiment I saw.”

 

“It’s almost invincible except it takes a long time to prepare.”

 

Agnes shrugged.
When they saw the army that the meteor had destroyed, the remaining enemies fled in terror.

 

“Keep the heat! Move forward!”

 

“Don’t run away! I’ll shoot anyone who runs away!”

 

The words, however, are inaudible to soldiers who have already completely lost their will to fight.
Later, Count Cellon’s army arrived.
The front and back are completely blocked.
The enemy eventually gave up and dropped their weapons because they had nowhere else to go.

 

It was a perfect victory.

 

“Duchess!”

 

As soon as Emmerich arrived, he ran to Agnes.
She greeted him with a smile.

 

“Oh, Count.
Long time no see.
How are you feeling?”

 

“Isn’t that a question I should be asking? Are you hurt?”

 

“What do you mean? Nothing big happened because Laslo came on time.”

 

“Phew, I’m glad to hear that.”

 

“Hmm?”

 

She couldn’t understand Emmerich’s words, so she just blinked.
Laslo grinned as he took Agnes’ shoulder.

 

“First, let’s clean this place up, and then I’ll explain why we’re here so quickly.”

 

* * *

 

“…of the troops deployed to Germo, 17,000 were killed, wounded or surrendered.”

 

“Wait.
17,000?”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

Count Barania bowed her head halfway.
Sebastian rose from his seat with his fist clenched.

 

“In one day, 17,000? How is that possible? It was only a half-day of fighting.”

 

“The damage was great because of the magic that Arpad used to break down the walls.”

 

“Magic, magic! What the hell are those wizards!”

 

He threw everything he could get his hands on out of frustration.
A few heavy objects and some paper fell to the ground.
Thirty thousand soldiers were sent, but if they were unable to fight, the army could be considered destroyed.

 

“Who leaked out the plan?”

 

“We’re searching everywhere to find a spy.”

 

The biggest issue is also that the opponent was aware of the operation, which was supposed to be top secret.

 

“This is the second time, and even with the Marquis Songrad, how can I trust you after messing up this operation?”

 

“I have nothing to say.
Your Highness.”

 

Sebastian’s voice lowered even further.
A note on a silver tray was then handed to him by the rushing servant.
Even though the note was brief, it had a lot of impact.

 

<Solnok was subjugated by the Arpad Army.
They have been gathering troops all the way to Kiske, Celon, and Songrad.>
