Chapter 6: For Whom Do You Fight?

While a bloodless staredown continued on the Euphoria Kingdom front, intense bloodshed was occurring on the Lunaria-Amidonia front.

Anne, the Saint of the Tiger, led her forces to attack the Amidonia Region of the Kingdom of Friedonia. This front was just one of many diversions, but the army of the Orthodox Papal State was made up of devout adherents, and they had no compunctions about spilling blood for the religion.

“Victory for Saint Anne! Glory to Holy King Fuuga!”

“Don’t cling to your lives! Lady Lunaria is watching over our work!”

“Heathen and heretic blood will guide us to Lady Lunaria’s side!”

“Don’t fear martyrdom! Let’s march towards paradise!”

With these fanatical cries, the forces of the Orthodox Papal State charged towards the Kingdom of Friedonia’s National Defense Force. The Friedonian forces were loath to let this kind of mob into their country, so they deployed to block the invasion route and met them on the field of battle.

The Orthodox Papal State was less powerful and wealthy than even the Amidonia Region on its own, so their equipment was rather shoddy when compared to the Kingdom’s National Defense Force. In addition, the wounds of their recent political upheaval remained unhealed. The Orthodox Papal State, which normally should’ve been able to field fifty thousand soldiers and just as many volunteers on top of that, could only mobilize fifty thousand men in total. And among them, seventy percent were made up of said volunteers.

Their forces charged towards the Amidonian Front Force and their well-prepared defense line. It was like punching a steel wall with their bare hands, and the Orthodox Papal State’s forces bled a lot for the attempt. Still, this didn’t stop them. They continued to advance as arrows rained down and spears pierced their chests. Even if they saw a comrade felled by an enemy blade before their eyes, they would climb over the dead body to attack. These pious men saw death in battle as the way to paradise.

“Kill them! The way of righteousness is to kill as many of these infidels as possible.”

“Such a path could never be righteous!”

Two swords flew through the air and carved an X into the commander, who was leading the fanatics on horseback. A female knight with lion ears and a tail leapt over him and landed nimbly on the other side. It was Mio C. Carmine, daughter of the former General of the Army, Georg Carmine. She was here today as the head of the restored House of Carmine.

The leader of the Amidonian Front Force was Halbert’s father, Glaive Magna. The commanders serving under him were either those from the former Army who had ties to the House of Carmine or people who came from the Amidonia Region. Essentially, those who lived closest to this land were defending it. Because of this, the defenders’ morale was high, as they felt they were protecting their own domains and hometowns.

“Victory to the saint!”

“Punishment for the infidels!”

“Tch!”

Slice! Mio cut down both her assailants with one slash.
