Claudia’s Ambush Unit

After receiving Olivia’s orders, Claudia and Ashton took their forces around to the rear of the imperial army. They succeeded in avoiding attracting the enemy’s attention, but another problem had presented itself.

“Hmmm.” Ashton stared up at the crown of the hill in a state of uncertainty. “That’s an unexpected development.”

The Helios Knights laying siege to the hill numbered more than twice as many as the three-thousand-strong decoy force holding them back.

The imperial army wasn’t taking any chances against Olivia, that much was clear. As much as Claudia might have despised the “Death God” nickname, she couldn’t deny that Ashton’s plan had worked any longer.

The problem was that it wasn’t really Olivia up on the hill. She more or less knew how to swing a sword, but apart from that, she was just another soldier with dyed hair and special armor.

“This is all because you had her wave that banner around,” said Claudia. “Those knights outnumber them more than two-to-one. Even with the advantage of terrain, the decoy force can’t hold on for long, and before long the attackers will see through the disguise. So,” she announced, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “what should we do, o all-knowing tactician?”

Ashton, looking troubled, scratched absentmindedly at his cheek. “I admit that I was overly optimistic. The reputation of the Death God is even more ingrained than I thought. But that means—”

“Their main force’s defenses will be even lighter. Right?” Claudia interjected. Ashton’s eyes went wide for a moment, then a smirk spread over his face. Though it was irrelevant to the matter at hand, Claudia found herself thinking that she’d rarely seen a man who suited such an expression less.

“What was the sarcasm for, if you already had it worked out?” Ashton teased. “That’s just mean, Lieutenant.”

“This is only happening because your misjudgment happened to turn into a favorable situation, and don’t you forget it,” Claudia snapped. Ashton had a keen eye for his surroundings, but it was people like that who failed to look at the ground under their own feet, and people like that who died first in a battle. Especially when they couldn’t even swing a sword properly. It was up to Claudia, therefore, to watch out for him instead.
