NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22
21. The outward princess learns of the ambush.
Is Roderick safe?
Deputy Clark rushed in to the Knights’ Operations Conference Room. Several knights have already turned right and left across the room in a hurry.
“Ha! From the Knights Commander, the footage is now connected through the recruit’s special abilities.”
Roderick is the name of the Knights Commander.
The call from the knight who came to convey the decree was a request for backup from the Knights Commander, who was taking the recruits to the expedition.
He was ambushed on his way to the neighboring country’s practice site. Already some horses are dying or unable to move, and some recruits are more than one seriously wounded of what the dead are not.
Following the Deputy Commander, I and Stayle also enter the conference room. Some knights watched as surprised or bewildered, but not for long as the situation was just the situation.
At first, the deputy commander was a little confused when he heard about the ambush. Because as a Knights, you can’t leave me or the Style of the Royal Family alone. Royal security is strictly observed as the first priority of the Knights. It goes against chivalry, such as leaving the scene without sending royalty because it’s an emergency.
So I suggested to myself that I accompany Stayle.
Originally inspected. We also need to see the Knights move in an emergency, and most importantly, we can’t just leave like this.
Surprise, because it caught my head.
In the back center of the meeting room, the footage floats and is shown as if there were a screen. It’s not science, the special abilities on the other side are transferring the footage here in some way.
One of the knights said, “I’ve already heard the coordinates from the Knights Commander! Now that I can identify it, I will also connect the footage now.” I shouted, “I wondered if the color of my eyes had changed to orange. I turned both eyes to Deputy Clark without blinking.
“Roderick, it’s me. Can you hear me? Explain your situation.”
The captain of the Knights in the footage glanced at the oblique direction of the front, which was somewhere different.
Now we’re totally connected. In previous life, is it a place called a human television telephone?
“Oh, I heard you! At present, the situation has not changed since the earlier report. There are still no casualties in the recruits, but the number of injuries just keeps increasing.
“We’re already getting ready for backup, too. The advance troops by the special abilities have preceded them, but the other troops will be on their way as soon as they are ready.
‘As soon as possible, please. Recruits are doing well, but it’s still a tough situation for me to be the man in the main unit.
With that said, the Knights of Roderick were skipping directions in various directions.
“The other guy? What the hell is going on?
Unlike during the exercise, Lieutenant Clark is questioning the head of the Roderick Knights in the video on an urgent basis.
“Dazuo, you would be the opposite of an alliance with your neighbor. Suddenly they dropped a big rock from above and blocked the road. All the ambushers are shooting repeatedly from the cliff. I’m dressed like this. Withdraw… there is no more shielding behind.
The Knights Commander, responding pale to the Deputy Commander’s query, added, ‘I have now managed to build a shield in my squad to prevent it… but it will be only a matter of time’. You look calm, but no matter how you look at it, you’re doomed.
‘At least I use only horses that can move, and I want to make gaps and let the seriously injured get away. I’m getting ready for that now.
“With your coordinates now, we can get you there in about an hour and a half if we run the main team’s horse from here. I’m turning the advance unit of a special abilities squad specializing in mobility within the Knights. A small number of people will arrive there in half an hour. Until then, do something about it.
“I know, I hope the ammo and ammo stays there until then…”
If you think the head of the Roderick Knights in the video twisted his torso. The next moment, with the gunfire, he heard something screaming from afar. Probably shot one down from the cliff. You can’t fathom with a Knights sword more than your opponent is on top.
Joint exercises were originally the intended expedition, and perhaps not too many are prepared.
“How about His Majesty? Any instructions?
“I have been contacted, but now I am in the neighbouring country with His Royal Highness the King. They will direct their judgment to the king of the neighbouring country, and they will also provide support from the neighbouring country shortly. but…”
You won’t make it. Lieutenant Clark shuts up so that he swallows the word.
Pride and Style also checked the map with the coordinates, but no matter what, this country is closer. Though from the early morning, recruits. Besides, it’s before the exercise. Probably proceeded slowly and sparingly to keep you from getting tired. It’s impossible for a neighboring army to get there first.
The Knights Commander, the Knights, Mother and Father are doing the best they can right now.
Then… what should I do as the First Princess?
“I mean, the backup is quick and thirty minutes later. What you need quickly now is backup supplies, right?
As surprised by my words, the Deputy Commander and the Knight Commander across the screen turn around and open their eyes.
As far as the Knights Commander was concerned, he had also just noticed my presence, leaking the words “Dear Pride… why there”.
“Stayle, I need your help, okay?
He refrained as if he had already understood that he would wave back the style, saying, “If it is the will of the First Princess of Pride.” He responded.
“Get the weapons and ammunition you need here now. It’s a little bit with the special abilities of the style, but I’ll send it on the ground.
The special ability of the style is instantaneous travel. I can fly myself or anything I touch anywhere I want.
However, there are limits to what you can still do for a developing style, no matter the distance, but the weight you can let fly at a time, up to around the weight of the style itself. And if you touch something, you can fly anywhere, but you can move yourself only to places you’ve been.
Of course, although I could afford to carry around three or four of the styles in the game, including myself. This was the limit for the current style.
When I was adopted, I could only fly short and medium range, and I’m sure my abilities will grow in proportion to my growth.
But that will still be enough weapons now.
The deputy chief was surprised that the first princess had helped herself… “But now it’s more important to let one of our soldiers survive than that. When I told him, he agreed with the Knights Commander, although reluctantly.
Tell the deputy commander the exact weight the style can carry and have the knights gather anything weighing less than that.
More than half the knights in the ops conference room were in a hurry, but they brought a large quantity of weapons.
The truth is it would be nice if Stayle himself could move momentarily and move here one by one, but Stayle hasn’t even left the country yet, and even if he did, knights with a flesh that is inflexible can’t fly because even if they take off their armor, they are slightly over the weight of the young Stayle.
But at least if you can carry just the supplies you need.
… Yes, our country’s counterattack is coming.
