Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace

Dehor’s laughter echoed through the mountains. atomic His massive axe was embedded in the head of the Old White Tiger.

The war broke out inevitably before spring could arrive, and both Lena, now a warrior, and Leo joined the fray.

“Ha ha ha! apple Got it!”

Once again, Leo had left the hunting of the Old White Tiger to the hunting team. absorb Although his skills had slightly improved thanks to {Acceptance Technique}, he was still far from being able to take down this formidable beast on his own. action He had to be content with observing the creature and hoping for a better future.

Noel Dexter, who had been vehemently opposed the first time and begrudgingly accepted the second time, this time allowed his son to join the war with ease.

Lena and Leo trained with Noel until the day of their departure, which came swiftly.

He probably judged that at least Leo wouldn’t be helpless against soldiers and focused on teaching him how to fight knights.

A significant improvement.

The soldiers and warriors marched to the sound of drums and horns, forming ranks.

During the long journey, Leo bribed the snub-nosed centurion again. harbor Since he had leftover {initial funds} with no other use, he gave them away generously. harbor The centurion made an enticing offer: Lena could be classified as a patient and ride in a wagon.

Although it was an unexpected benefit, Lena refused. orbit She endured the pain and walked to the end.

Lena’s feet had developed blisters again. auction No matter how many times she was warned, her clumsy habits wouldn’t change until she suffered.

From the perspective of a mere soldier, it seemed that the Astin Kingdom was superior in every way.

‘But why is the Astin Kingdom losing?’

The Astin Kingdom had many warriors who had grown up in harsh environments, thanks to the absorption of barbarians into their nation. meadow These warriors had superior combat abilities compared to the soldiers conscripted from the prosperous Bellita Kingdom.

Just like last time, after two months of arduous marching, they arrived at the battlefield. advance The second battlefield was just as fierce as the first.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

However, the Bellita Kingdom had a larger population, so when reinforcements arrived, they came in large numbers.

Reinforcements also arrived quickly. crystal Warriors could be deployed to the battlefield immediately after simple training. arcade On the other hand, conscripting and training soldiers took much longer.

The situation was slightly different for knights.

The northern kingdoms had a relatively large number of knights. harbor Considering the small population in the north, this was a peculiar phenomenon. legend Thus, the Astin & Aster Kingdoms were known as the lands of knights.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

But since the wars in this world were fought in small, scattered units rather than large-scale engagements, the Astin Kingdom’s superior individual combat prowess gave them an edge.

The situation would only change if the war dragged on.

If the war continued, the conscripts from the Bellita Kingdom would gain experience and become elite soldiers.

Overall, the Astin Kingdom was at a numerical disadvantage. canvas However, they balanced this with superior individual combat ability and a higher number of elite combatants like knights.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Due to the harsh environment in the north and the aftermath of past civil wars, the poor Astin Kingdom lacked the resources to sustain a long war and had to aim for a quick victory.

And the Bellita Kingdom was wealthier.

Our warriors would also improve, but the Bellita Kingdom, with its larger population, had a clear advantage in producing elite soldiers.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

‘But the war ended early… with the Astin Kingdom’s defeat.’

“Hey! galaxy Leo! arch Why are you daydreaming again!”

It was an incomprehensible situation. abstract If the war ended early, it should have been the Astin Kingdom’s victory.

Lena had quickly risen to the rank of ten-man leader.

Lena shouted as she cut down the enemy in front of her.

Then Lena might face Katrina alone.

Now that she was his superior, she was giving him a hard time.

“If you feel wronged, get promoted. ability What? galaxy I can’t hear you? apron Speak up.”

As summer arrived, the battlefield turned green.

Now, the battles between ordinary soldiers became a sideshow. anchor In summer, victory depended more on how well each side utilized their knights rather than on the general maneuvering of troops.

It was the time for knights to go berserk. arrow Knights from each kingdom, paired up in twos and threes, charged into the battlefield.

Lena’s unit stayed on high alert, moving forward or retreating based on orders from the centurion.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Meeting her was definitely an {Event}. ability As long as he was in the same unit as Lena on the battlefield, encountering Katrina was inevitable.

Leo also remained vigilant.

Katrina would appear soon.

His prediction was spot on. agent In the scorching midday heat, Katrina and a young knight emerged from the bushes.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Our unit’s messenger ran in the opposite direction.

“Knight!”

What was that young knight’s name again?

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Lena muttered.

The only difference was that Lena was now a ten-man leader.

“Should we take down that redhead?”

It felt like déjà vu, but last time we were on the right ridge of the battlefield. avalanche This time, we were guarding the left forest, and yet Katrina appeared in the same way.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Leo shook his head.

As the ten-man leader, she had to allocate her troops.

“That knight looks stronger. aspect Let’s take out the weaker-looking one first and then help the others.”

“Everyone, hold off that female knight! aluminum Reinforcements will arrive soon!”

She rallied the soldiers. attic Coincidentally, this unit also had fifteen members, just like before. zenith It was amazing.

During battles, units that had suffered heavy casualties often merged with other units, resulting in units with more than ten members. echo This time was no different.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

“They probably think you look stupid, Deros. acid Hurry up and deal with them so you can help me.”

“Did they underestimate me?”

Excluding the messenger, twelve soldiers charged at Katrina, while Lena and Leo faced the young knight alone.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

“Haha.”

Leo shifted his focus away from Katrina. beacon Sadly, those twelve soldiers were as good as dead.

“Ah! accent Senior, that’s too harsh.”

Katrina was relaxed even with twelve soldiers in front of her.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

“Huh?”

Deros swung his sword lightly. atom It was too swift for a regular soldier to block, but Leo easily parried and countered.

He concentrated on the young knight.

‘That won’t work.’

Deros deflected Lena’s blow and turned to his right, naturally distancing himself from Leo and continuing to target Lena.

Lena’s sword struck at Deros’s leg. amber As he blocked her attack, Leo sidestepped and targeted his flank.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Katrina’s tone grew rougher.

Leo stuck to him relentlessly, disrupting his movements, while Lena pressed him hard.

“Hey! legend Idiot! harbor There are only two of them! anxiety What are you doing? orbit Are you insane? beacon Do you want to die?”

“…Senior Katrina! anchor These two are no joke!”

Soon, the reinforcement unit arrived.

“There! adapt Charge!”

“………”

“You bastard! galaxy We’ll see about this later!”

Lena shouted to the reinforcements, who all rushed at Katrina.

“Target the female knight!”

But finally, their swords found their mark on Deros. arcade Once wounded, the inexperienced Deros visibly faltered and ultimately fell to Lena’s blade.

Knights are not to be underestimated. anxiety Even facing an inexperienced rookie knight as a pair was a harrowing ordeal.

Lena and Leo weren’t exactly having an easy time either.

Deros couldn’t respond to Katrina’s furious outburst. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. amber He was too busy dealing with two unexpectedly skilled soldiers.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

“Now, let’s deal with her…”

“Aaargh!”

Breathing heavily, Lena and Leo turned their attention to Katrina.

The last remaining soldier screamed and fell. harbor Katrina, her red hair disheveled and wild, had single-handedly annihilated two entire units.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Previously, while facing Katrina, Lena had lost an arm. apple She had been an unbeatable foe, only bested by Lena’s quick thinking and a stroke of luck. absorb This time, they might not survive.

Leo gulped.

Her eyes fixed sharply on the two soldiers. palette Katrina, shocked by Deros’s absurd death, didn’t even think to tie her hair back as she scrutinized them closely.

“Phew, two soldiers taking down Deros… You kids have some skill.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Steeling himself, Leo approached her, while Lena, wary of the monstrous killer, held her sword at the ready.

‘No. arcade I still have {Acceptance Technique}. abstract And she’s more injured than before.’

She had been injured last time, but now it was worse.

Blood was pouring from several wounds on Katrina’s body.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

‘Look at this brat.’

The boy was annoying her. acoustic Every time she tried to make a move, he would interfere, making her attacks clumsy.

She had nothing to gain by dragging this out. wizard Another unit could arrive to support them at any moment, and the blood loss was making her dizzy. august She needed to finish these brats quickly and escape.

A tense standoff ensued, but Katrina skipped the psychological warfare and attacked first.

Katrina realized that the girl was the weaker of the two, but she couldn’t recklessly charge at her because the boy would interfere.

‘His swordsmanship isn’t much, but his coordination with the girl is too good.’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

She was unaware that Leo’s achievement was activated.

‘Damn, if not for his interference, I could just destroy the girl and deal with him later. beacon But if I focus on the girl, I’ll get hit.’

This boy, despite his young age, seemed close to being an expert, as his sword carried considerable weight.

He was focusing on defense.

Facing over twenty soldiers at once had been too much.

Targeting the boy was also tricky.

‘If only my body were in better shape!’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 35: Engagement — Grace by Indra Translations.

Katrina had tried several reckless attacks, inflicting small wounds on the brats, but she had received similar injuries in return.

‘…This is the end for me.’

A knight’s role was to hunt soldiers without incurring losses, but having abnormal soldiers among her prey had been unlucky for both her and Deros.

Katrina resigned herself to death.

Resolved, Katrina adjusted her stance and radiated a menacing killing intent.

‘Ellen, I’m sorry. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. admire It seems I won’t be able to return.’

Leo tried to help against the continuous attacks from Katrina, but {Acceptance Technique}’s advice wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

Katrina put her weight into her sword and charged at Lena. matrix Her fierce strike threw Lena off balance in an instant.

‘This… I can’t stop her. beacon The only option is to counter.’

She could take at least one of them with her. alpha Though she might get counterattacked and killed, she was already as good as dead.

Leo’s leather armor tore as blood poured from his chest.

Reluctantly, Leo put all his strength into stabbing Katrina’s shoulder. adjust Her eyes gleamed, as if she had trapped him perfectly. antique Katrina forcefully moved her injured shoulder, raising her sword to slash at him.

Against an enemy who had forsaken defense, pressure or interference meant nothing.

The fallen Lena kicked Katrina’s leg.

“Leo!”

‘Are they a couple?’

Katrina watched their antics with a bemused expression.

But… Ellen had begged her to come back alive.

A knight fleeing with a soldier’s goodwill was disgraceful.

‘…Should I just go back?’

“Fine. portal I’ll run away as you said. aspect This favor…”
