Chapter 35: Defensive Battle

A pillar of light fell from the sky.

The sight was so striking that everyone on the battlefield—monsters and men alike—stopped moving for a moment and looked at the light. The men found solace and hope in its presence, while the monsters instantly understood that a terrible threat had just arrived.

Before long, eleven elite knights who’d been chosen to protect the saint—that meant all of the saint’s guard, save for Viscount Fox who was currently in the academy—stepped onto the battlefield and glared at the monsters fiercely.

Behind them was Ellize, the hope of humanity, and a few knights-in-training who attended the academy alongside her... Oh, and some weirdo with glasses that no one really knew.

Layla, the head of the saint’s guard, stood at Ellize’s left side, ready to protect her. Meanwhile Verner, the student who’d received a sword from the saint, stood at her right.

The crow looked at them in displeasure. It suddenly understood how shallow its planning had been.

“The saint arrived too quickly... And why are the knights...by her side?”

The crow knew that Ellize had been locked up by her fellow humans. It had no idea why they’d made such a foolish decision, but it had given them the perfect opportunity to strike.

It knew that Ellize could—quite literally—fly to the rescue if they were to march into the royal capital, but it had assumed she’d be alone. Her guards had betrayed her, after all. It thought there was no way she’d bring traitors with her to the battlefield—not to mention it didn’t know she had the ability to do so in the first place. And so, the crow had assumed that Ellize would come alone. If some of her guards were to follow her, they’d arrive much later anyway.

In the end, both of its assumptions had proved wrong.

Ellize had somehow managed to transport her guards—as well as a few other people—all the way here in a few minutes. To make matters worse, they didn’t even seem to be on bad terms.

Had the crow been given false information, or had they made up already? Either way, the worse had come to pass. Had everything gone as planned, the monsters should’ve already annihilated the city’s defenses. However, the aggravating mob of knights and soldiers had prevented them from advancing.

“The saint! The saint’s here!”

“She’s here!”

“Her guards are here too!”

The morale of the Bilberian troops shot up as soon as they saw Ellize and her guards. As humanity’s hope, she was the symbol of justice. Her very presence was enough to inspire those around her.

“Look, she’s here... Can you see her? She made it... Our fight, your death... None of it was in vain...” one of the knights whimpered, holding the lifeless body of one of his fallen comrades.

He let go of his friend and picked up the sword the departed man had left behind instead. Now that the saint had arrived, the tide of the battle would turn. Victory was in their grasp. They only needed to hold their ground for a little longer.
