The Crimson Knights had Osmund’s regiment surrounded when the Independent Cavalry Regiment arrived and joined the fray. The Independent Cavalry Regiment forced their way through the knights’ ranks just in time to rescue Osmund’s forces, which were on the brink of collapse. Spreading out into a defensive formation, they created a path for the injured to retreat from the battlefield.

Claudia led the charge, swinging her sword with ferocious power and getting soaked in the blood that spurted from every soldier she cut down.

I hope the Major was able to get to Osmund... she thought. Olivia, along with three hundred riders, rode to the general’s rescue. She was sure that with Olivia’s superhuman abilities, they wouldn’t fail. But the Crimson Knights were not a foe to be underestimated.

“Lieutenant! The enemy is coming from behind to try and surround us!” shouted the one-eyed soldier Gauss, cutting through Claudia’s thoughts. She looked back, and saw a company of mounted soldiers who had penetrated the defensive formation and were galloping towards them.

One on one, their soldiers are still cut above ours...

If she allowed them to advance unchecked, her force could end up caught in a vice grip between enemy armies on both sides. They had the advantage of numbers, if she included Osmund’s soldiers, but the Crimson Knights’ execution of their maneuvers was flawless. She had to hand it to them—they lived up to their reputation.

“Gauss, take the Second Company and do whatever it takes to stop their advance!”

“I’m on it, ser!” he replied, then turned to the soldiers and roared, “With me!”

“Yes, ser!” came the voices of around five hundred soldiers. They rode out, gathering force like a tidal wave. Claudia too kicked her horse forwards, advancing towards the enemy’s main force. Her advance was cut off almost at once, however, and in an instant the battlefield devolved into an all-out melee. She saw a man with his eyeballs hanging out of their sockets, his helmet smashed in, and a woman, perhaps thrown from her horse, her neck bent at a sickening angle. All across the battlefield, the fighting churned out a constant stream of corpses.

She heard a voice, and turned to see a man on a chestnut horse in an imperial officer’s uniform.

“Tell me something!” he said. “I heard your commander is a little girl. Is that true?”

“And what if they are?” Claudia retorted. His sword came swinging down and she raised her own to meet it.

“Those reflexes! Looks like I was right,” the man said. “Shame, I guess this will be over before the colonel gets to you.”

They stopped their horses, pushing against each other with their blades. Claudia, seeing they were too evenly matched, aimed a kick at the man’s horse, just as the man did the same thing. Both horses began to buck and neigh, throwing their riders to the ground. Claudia leapt up, reasserting her stance just as the man brought his sword sweeping across the ground. She jumped out of the way with a grunt, then kicked him in the face.
