Chapter 2: The Crimson Lion Roars

“First unit, march!”

Robert Betrand had bellowed the order as he lifted his beloved axe high above his head. Black armor covered his huge figure. As a historical war hero, he was the personification of the god of war himself. The soldiers cried out in response to Robert’s order.

“Uooooooh! Yes, Lord Robert!”

“Victory to the Grand Mikoshiba Duchy!”

“Let’s slaughter those O’ltormean dogs!”

Angry roars and cheers reverberated across the land as the troops headed toward Xarooda as backup marched out of Pireas’s suburbs.

As midday approached, horns and drums filled the air. Robert led the advance guard, a unit made up of around one thousand cavalrymen. Signus Galveria, also a Twin Blade, followed as he led the second unit with one thousand cavalrymen of his own.

Afterward, around three thousand foot soldiers were clad in armor made from monster scales and hides that only existed within the Wortenia Peninsula. Two thousand cavalrymen and three thousand foot soldiers provided a balanced formation.

The troops with the knowledge of martial thaumaturgy began their march west toward Xarooda as reinforcements. They had all received training under the Grand Mikoshiba Duchy. Above their heads flew a flag with their crest: a double-headed snake wrapped around a sword. The snake had one silver and one gold head. Its eyes were red and gave off a rather intimidating feel, though it could have been playing on people’s imagination.

That feeling could have also resulted from the fighting spirit and vigor of the soldiers who made up the units. They came across as intimidating to those who saw them. Each soldier knew how to use martial thaumaturgy and had undergone extensive training. All were also skilled at working together in a unit.

In addition, they all wore special leather armor crafted by the dark elves of the Wortenina Peninsula, using endowed thaumaturgy to strengthen it. The dark elves boasted mastery over that kind of endowed thaumaturgy. As such, the soldier’s combat power was several times that of an ordinary knight.

The Crimson Lioness, Lione, watched the extraordinary soldiers with a satisfied expression. Here, she was the supreme commander of the reinforcements and led the foot soldiers. She was also beautiful and wore a ferocious grin suitable for her nickname.

“What a sight for sore eyes... I feel like I’ve become a general.” Lione had previously been a leader of mercenaries, but her destiny had changed for the better ever since she met Ryoma Mikoshiba.

After all, she was once a chief who commanded around a dozen mercenaries, but now she led a troop of over five thousand soldiers. This moment was rather sentimental for her as someone who had made her living from war.

That said, Lione couldn’t spend long basking in the moment. Her commands would decide the lives of her soldiers as they assisted Xarooda as reinforcements.

I’m surprised they let a gal like me lead a whole troop of soldiers, thought Lione.

Lione was confident in her ability, naturally. As leader of her mercenary group, the Crimson Lions, she had achieved victory for her employers with her outstanding leadership skills.
