Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 479

"Rubens. Take care of my father, will you?"

"Yes. I will protect him at all costs.

He was awed, and Father shook his head.

"I am not yet old enough to be protected . You must put yourself first. Do you understand?

"Yes, master "

Rubens bowed his head in a bow, and the group members burst into laughter.

I walked up to him and asked him.

"hey, Rubens. Last night, did something happen with Diana?

"Oh⁉You were watching us?"

'No, no, not really. I happened to look out the window and saw the two of you looking awkward. Besides, the two of them have been in a delicate mood since this morning as well. .....".

"Ugh......⁉ I asked her to marry me on the spur of the moment after I was promoted to vice commander......."

He glanced at Deanna as he said this, and continued in an ill-advised manner.

"'Are you going to die with no regrets, asking me to marry you on the eve of a decisive battle? It's not a good sign. In the first place, to make a marriage proposal at a time like this is what ...... cowards do. Frankly, I have failed to see it. I'm so angry with you, 'You softy,.......'"

"Oh, ...... that's how it is."

"Huh. I was told by Cross that I should tell him how I feel about him. I never thought it would come to that. ......"

Rubens' shoulders slumped in a daze.

It is not hard to understand Deanna's feelings.

After asking her to marry her on the eve of the battle, if he had said, "When this battle is over, I'm going to get married," it would have been, as the story goes, a death in battle flag.

I guess she was trying to put the kibosh on him in her own way.

But, as one would expect from Rubens, she didn't realize his intention.

She didn't seem to realize his intention.

"Oh, ....... As usual, Diana is in a lot of trouble."

"What? What is it?"

I continued to whisper in his ear as he tilted his head in puzzlement.

"You know what? How could Diana not want to marry Rubens? She wants you to survive this war. That's why she said those strong words back to you."

"Oh, ......⁉"

Rubens' eyes widened in surprise.

"And you know,...... that she refused the marriage proposal, saying that it was a cowardly thing to do at a time like this. As I said sometime ago, think about Deanna's true intention."

"......⁉ Yes, that's right. I understand. I'll just think about surviving this battle for now. Thank you, Master Rid."

Just as he looked up to regain his composure, his father's voice quietly said, "Rubens, move the troops.

"I am at your service, sir. Master Rid. I'll leave you now. See you later, Diana."

He saluted and quietly followed Father's lead, giving instructions to the troop.

Diana bowed her head toward Rubens and whispered, "Please, good luck."

You should have told him so he could hear you ......."

I was standing nearby and could hear her, but I doubt her voice reached Rubens' ears as he ran.

By the way, she is dressed as a knight, not as a maid.

Deanna looked up and gave a small shake of her head.

"It doesn't matter. Our priority right now is not personal feelings. Besides, in his case, it is better for him to do his best in this way."

"I see. Then, I am sure he will do great work."

"Yes, I am sure he will."

Diana muttered sadly with her usual expression and followed Rubens' figure with her eyes.

If I look at him as well, I can see his childhood friend Nels standing by his side as if assisting him.

The two of them instructed the group to move a little further away from the others.

"I must be on my way, too, then. Rid. I wish you good luck."

"Good luck to you too, father."

"Yes, ".

Father smiled, nodded, and led the group of Amon, Noir, Lagarde, and Rubens through the forest.

Soon, Father and the others were out of sight.

"Master Rid. We don't have much time. We must move."

"......Yeah, that's right."

Nodding at Cross's words, Diana and Capella, with him at the center, began to issue instructions to everyone in the unit.

We moved to a place where we could see Elba's camp and formed up in the woods, waiting for the time to start the operation.

Three minutes remain.

I checked the time on the pocket watch on my waist and looked around at everyone behind me.

All of the knights in armor are covered with cloaks to prevent the enemy from discovering their whereabouts.

Although they were hiding behind their breaths, they looked very strong and full of fighting spirit.

Of course, I am also wearing armor.

But it is not so heavy that I can't move.

It is lightweight, yet sturdy armor specially made by Ellen, Alex, and the others.

The special alloy and fabric developed by the two of them.

It seems to be made of "shape-changing magic alloy" and "shape-changing magic synthetic fabric.

It is said that even if I grow old and my body grows, I can still wear it without any problems.

According to them, the magic alloy can absorb or release the magic power of the wearer and change its size.

The "finished product" that I am wearing now was given to me before I left the bookstore.

It seems that Ellen and Alex had received a secret order from their father, and they were able to get it to me just in time.

The "shape-changing magic alloy" raised eyebrows, but since I didn't have time to try it out, I just accepted it and said, "Oh, really?"

"Master Rid. One minute left. We are almost ready".

"Yes, I understand."

I nodded to Cross, who had been talking in my ear, and I took a deep breath.

The number of soldiers in this place is about 20000 including me and the children of the squad leader of the second knight corps.

The father's troops in the detachment are also about 20000.

And the number of troops left at the narrow fortress is about 500.

All the forces that the Bardia family was able to prepare for the defense of Fort Tsima were introduced into this operation.

The remodeling of the fort, the sniping of the enemy general by Aria and the others, the disturbance by our shadow warriors, and the preparation of Rafa,......, the movements up to now were the preparations for the operation to be carried out in the future.

So far, things are going fine.

The next blow would decide the outcome of this battle.

"Master Rid, it's time to go. Here we go."

I stood up at Cross's words and turned back to the others.

Everything went according to plan. All that remains is for us, who have come this far under our breath, to put an end to this battle.

"Oh!

The knights shouted, shedding their cloaks and revealing their bright red armor.

They then raised high a flag bearing the coat of arms of the House of Bardia and a picture of a centipede.

"Let's run all the way to the enemy's main camp and think only of defeating Elba Grandek. If we lose here, there will be no tomorrow for Bardia."

As I spoke in a high voice, a kitten came from under the feet of the knights to my feet.

"Cookie?"

I wondered when he had followed me.

I tilted my head, and at that moment, he swung his body up like a lion and placed me on his back.

......⁉ Will you go with me?"

He nodded at my question and let out a roar.

"Okay. Let's go, guys."

"'Oh, oh, oh!"

With a battle cry, we left the forest and ran across the battlefield toward the enemy position where Elba was.
