When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

Outside the town of Seaside.

Kvit stood on a piece of grass, stretched out his hand and patted the head of the steed in front of him. After it snorted gently at himself, the handsome commander lowered his eyes and sighed deeply.

He couldn't count how many days had passed, and he couldn't count how many times the order "don't act rashly" had been issued to the Royal Knights.

Delaying time, avoiding fighting, forcing retreat many times when he has the upper hand... Such abnormal decisions are made frequently, even the dullest soldiers can detect the strangeness of the commander, and Kvit has discovered it more than once Lots of weird looks at him, even some more reckless and loyal people came to ask him "why didn't he attack"——

But how can he attack.

The moist and salty sea breeze swept over the treetops, wrapping him with a reassuring atmosphere like his father's figure; a willow leaf hangs down beside Kvit's head, light and soft like a mother's finger She touched his cheek softly, full of indescribable gentleness.

The young man was bound in the armor, he was silent, his green eyes moved a little, but they became darker and darker.

The knights who went to the king city to report the battle situation should have already arrived... This also means that there is not much time for him to continue to fight.

In order to maintain the precarious tie, the actions he made were so obvious and direct that even the most ordinary soldier could hardly be fooled, let alone the already suspicious Her Majesty the Queen.

Therefore, once Starangel comes here in person, she will immediately deprive Kvitt of his command, directly take over the army, and order the Royal Knights to attack without reservation——

But on the side of Westside Town, the current main defense force is still only composed of the merged army and the townspeople, not to mention that in the previous few unavoidable wars, some people were unfortunately injured, and so far they have not been able to fully defend themselves. Restore the ability to fight again.

If it weren't for Kvitt's hard work, the weak city wall would have been breached by the elite knights long ago.

As far as the merged army is concerned, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two armies, not to mention that Starangui will bring back some of the soldiers left behind in Wangcheng, which will further widen the gap between the two teams.

If Kolusta can't replenish the reinforcements for Seaside Town in time, what awaits them will only be a complete defeat...and massacre.

Kvit closed his eyes and squeezed his fisted fingertips into his palm.

He thought of the unbelievable disappointment and pain on his father's face that he had glimpsed on the battlefield, and also thought of the countless old friends who forced him to take up arms, with fearful eyes but still firm eyes.

The Sisidians, who live quietly in peace, have never experienced cruel wars, and some even don't know how to use bows and arrows.But they must stand up and face the group of well-trained knights directly, just to protect the homeland behind them——

Kvitt has not forgotten that it is also his own homeland.

The young commander turned his head, and his green eyes, which were as beautiful as new leaves, took a deep look at the town of Seaside not far away. It's a piece of down that blows in the breeze.

"As long as I'm alive," he murmured, "I will always protect her...until the last moment of my life."

……

Sure enough, as Kvet expected, the first thing the furious Starangui did when he arrived outside the town of Seaside was to send someone to escort the former to him without hesitation.

This was a scene that Kvitt had already expected, so he did not resist, but calmly let several Queen's guards put the shackles on him, and followed their rude force, and was pushed down on Si At Dalangui's feet.

The blond-haired Her Majesty's expression was as cold as ice, but it seemed to be burning like flames. There was a chill in those lavender eyes, and she stared at Kvitt like a poisonous snake that had been planned for a long time. Slowly said : "Do you have anything to say? My loyal friend - Mr. Kvitt."

Even at this point, her name for Kvitt has not changed, full of thick, undisguised sarcasm and malice.

Kvitt rolled his eyelids, raised his head, and stared at Starangui for a while, then unexpectedly showed him a gentle smile.

He knelt on the spot, straightened his back, and said lightly: "No, there is nothing."

The soldiers around couldn't help whispering, and they didn't seem to understand why he gave up this opportunity to argue.

You know, when the blond girl was a princess, many people had already heard about her ruthlessness—Starangui would never let the convicted traitor explain anything, she would only ask for it with a smile on her face. The executioner chopped off their heads, and then used ice magic to preserve the head, so as to ensure that all his subordinates could come to pay their respects at least once, which had the effect of gathering loyalty.

But like today, he is willing to give the betrayer a chance to refute or state his last words... It is the first time.

There was a little commotion around because of this special treatment, and they all tried to convey their surprise to their companions, but after the queen in the center raised her eyes and looked around quietly, everyone was shocked. As if under some spell, they involuntarily closed their mouths.

Like a flock of crows witnessing death, they remained horribly silent, numb and ghastly waiting for the imminent execution.

"...I'm sorry for your obsession."

In the dead silence, Starangui slowly said: "I admit that you are an amazing talent, and I have entrusted my trust to you more than once... But obviously, the facts have proved My mistake, because you not only betrayed your kingdom, but you are still trying to do things for that disgraceful Kolusta Amirim—”

Kvit raised an eyebrow.

He smiled lazily and said mockingly, "First of all, I don't think Ruth has done anything that should be called 'shameful' since she regained her identity. ;Secondly, I am afraid that no one knows better than you that you have not entrusted me with trust; Finally, Your Majesty, please allow me to correct the most important point—”

"The town of Seaside is my hometown." Covet said lightly, "Please believe that protecting her is entirely out of my own will, and I never need any reason."

Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to hear a faint gasp from the crowd.

"..."

Starangui stared at Kvitt gloomyly, and the smiling mask on her face finally disappeared. She lowered her face, and every word she uttered seemed to be pierced with ice, which made people shiver, " By saying that, do you want to clear your relationship with Amirim?"

"Oh, that's not true." Kvit rolled his eyes and let out a vague sneer, "After all, my relationship with her is deeper than the relationship with you—this is something everyone in the Holy Light Academy of Magic It's a well-known thing, isn't it?"

After his words fell to the ground, all the knights or guards present quickly lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Starangui's face.

This traitor is really too arrogant.

But Kvitt, who was kneeling on the ground, obviously did not have this consciousness. He straightened his waist even more, his green eyes were full of undisguised provocation and irony, and he looked straight at Starangui, whose face was sinking like water. Shen said: "After all, she didn't order me to slaughter my hometown, did she, Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, Starangui's face turned even uglier.

The surrounding knights also seemed to come alive, they looked at each other in surprise, and some bold ones quietly raised their eyes, thinking they were secretly watching the Queen's change of expression.

Starang Gui, who was keenly aware of many gazes, suddenly darkened, she pursed her lips, as if she suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk to Kvitt, and said coldly: "Since you are so interested in me If you complain too much, then I have nothing to say."

Kvitt hooked the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Take him down," the tall blond queen lowered her eyes, staring at the young man who was firmly shackled with pity, her voice was neither sad nor happy, as if she was talking about today's weather, calmly Announced, "According to the old rules, my friends - the sentence for the treason of Kwitt Maiti will be executed here in two hours... At that time, please put down everything in your hands and be sure to be here .”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left the place with a few guards following her without hesitation.

Kvitt was also roughly dragged up by several people, and escorted to another place again.

The frightening silence spread like dark magic, infecting everyone who stayed in the field. They either looked at the place where the former leader stayed just now with sympathy, disdain or thoughtfulness, until a long time later Only then gradually spread out.

This circle of land seemed to be stained with something unknown. In the next two hours, no one wanted to get even half a step closer to it.

As time went by, a thick dark cloud gradually floated in the sky, and faint thunder sounded between the clouds, rumbling and roaring, making noise in other people's ears.

It was also like the death knell of the hour - after the third thunderclap ended, everyone followed the instructions and stood by the open space that Starangui personally designated as the execution point.

They changed into dark riding clothes at the same time, and came to participate in the upcoming funeral with their own minds.

When the first drop of rain fell on the ground, Kvitt was roughly pushed onto the icy ground by a guard. His knees were hurt by gravel, and his hair, which was originally soft, was also crushed by the ensuing heavy rain. Quickly got wet, and knelt down in the middle of the open space in a very embarrassing manner.

Starangui stood indifferently not far away, while the maid beside her was struggling to support her with a large umbrella that seemed to have just been woven by a wood magician out of vines.

The noble Her Majesty the Queen didn't even get a drop of rain on the hem of her skirt, and seemed out of place with all the people present who were bathed in the heavy rain.

"The time has come."

After the thunder roared again, the ruler who was in charge of the overall situation finally opened her mouth lazily. She stretched out a hand, and her fingertips crossed the white light that was surging with magic power, and she smashed it down almost effortlessly. The rain condensed into a sharp long knife.

The blade made of ice is thin and cold, even in the rain, there is a little white mist coming out.

"This is my last kindness to you, Kvit." Starangui said gently, "What you have done for me is still worth using a torture instrument made by me."

Kvit let out a sneer that was neither high nor low, but just enough for Starangui to hear clearly.

But the latter didn't seem to care about the other party's bad attitude. She just waved her hand with a smile, and ordered the executioner who had been on standby for a long time to pick up the ice skate. The dark water, step by step, walked to Covet's side.

"Okay, Tatai, move gently." The smile on Starangui's lips became deeper, and he instructed without sincerity, "Don't make this gentleman feel too much pain, understand?"

The silent executioner turned his head and bowed deeply to His Majesty the Queen whom he was loyal to.

The ice skates made by magic are heavy and cold. Even the burly executioner struggles to lift it completely. The heavy rain that started to fall at some point wet the clothes, making them fall like water bags Everyone's arms, but still can't prevent the executioner from raising the sharp blade high——

Kvitt sighed deeply.

He closed his eyes, straightened his back like every Seaside man, and prepared to face the imminent death calmly——

However, at this moment, a deep purple electric arc split the sky, and a thunderstorm that could shake the earth suddenly exploded. When everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky, there was a gust of wind blowing, which immediately shook the originally stable place. All the raindrops blown into a straight slash.

The magic umbrella made of vines was blown so that it hit the executioner with his hands raised high, and the tall and strong man was slammed into the mud. The sharp ice blade slipped from his hand and almost fell onto Kvit's cheek. On the ground, the latter was so startled that his breathing froze for several seconds.

...Where does the wind come from?

The wind and rain blew Her Majesty, who was originally well-groomed, into a mess. She suddenly raised her eyes, frowned, as if she had sensed something, she fixed her eyes on the direction of the strong wind blowing from the ground .

"——This is the magic wind."

Starangui quickly made a correct judgment.

She said coldly: "Since you are here, why don't you show up and tell me your name?"

"..."

The pouring rain was mixed with the muffled sound of thunder and the non-stop whining of the wind.

While everyone waited in silence for a long time, under the big tree not far away, a man wearing a large black robe and whose gender and age could not be distinguished slowly walked out.

The rather gloomy-looking robe seemed to have been cast with some kind of spell, without revealing any moisture. The deep and wide hood was firmly worn on the top of his head, covering his face almost completely. .

Starangui raised her hand vigilantly, the magic power faintly flowing on her fingertips.

But before she could move, the man in black snorted contemptuously, and said in a very casual tone:

"...you don't need to know my name, usurper."

A hoarse and deep voice came from under the hood, as harsh and unpleasant as if it had been severely scratched by sandpaper, and contained straightforward disdain, "You just need to know—"

"You guys will definitely lose."

As his words fell, the already sudden storm seemed to become even crazier!

The raindrops became the best auxiliary tool, hitting everyone facing the wind and rain so painful that they couldn't even open their eyes. Starangui reached out and tried to condense an ice wall to prevent it, but was shocked to find that he couldn't even open his eyes. Control the rainwater that is being affected by wind magic at this time and is flying randomly.

In this short period of time, Kvitt, who also had to close his eyes tightly, felt himself being pulled up from the ground by someone. The force was really brutal, like dragging a dead dog. Throw it on something's back!

Before the latter had time to react, he first heard the neighing of a steed, and then galloped all the way against the strong wind——

"Hey, get up."

A voice that was almost drowned in the wind and rain said meanly: "Have you never ridden a horse? Do you know how much space you occupy by lying on your stomach like this?"

"..."

The vines that sprang out of Kvitt's palm untied the ropes that bound his wrists, which finally gave him the opportunity to free his hands and wipe his face covered with rain and mud.

At the same time, he opened his eyes and just witnessed the scene where the hood on the savior's head was blown off.

"Huh?" Kvit stared at the black hair in surprise, frowned, and asked in a daze, "You are the one..."

Mu Sen turned his head and gave him a look of disgust and indifference.

"..." Kvitt paused when he saw the other party's face, his brain twitched, and he suddenly said, "You are the one in the academy who often doesn't have enough food, clothing, warmth and growth—"

"……To shut up!"

Musen, who caught the key word "not tall", suddenly distorted his face. He interrupted Kvitt violently, and turned his head again like a dragon whose reverse scale was touched. Those black pearl-like eyes He was also so angry that he would spit out fire in the next second, and said viciously——

"Call me Lord Demon King!"

……

This rescue operation is not very ostentatious, and there is no sophisticated layout and preparation.

It can even be said that it was sudden enough that many people had no time to figure out the current situation.

——In short, regardless of whether there will be any commotion on Starangui's side, at least when Kvitt was kicked off the horse by Musen with a stinky face, he really couldn't react. He stared blankly at the familiar dark gray temporary city wall behind him that he passed just now.

I'm back in Seaside?

The young man who was the commander of the Royal Knights just a few hours ago came up with the first idea in a daze, his head was in a mess because of the narrow escape just now, he couldn't think at all, like a giant just pried out of the coffin board The corpse that came out was so stiff and dull, and was about to turn around slowly, and when he wanted to ask Mu Sen what was going on——

He was hugged fiercely by someone who rushed over.

"Covette!"

The familiar crisp voice of the girl rang in his ears, attracting attention like a ray of light breaking through a dark cloud.

Kolusta's tone was full of trembling panic and fear. She grabbed Kwitt's hand and asked anxiously: "You...are you okay? Did Starangui treat you? Mu Did Sen arrive in time? Are you injured?"

A series of hasty and quick questions made Kvitt have no time to answer. He blinked a little slowly, lowered his head, and bumped into the anxious and worried golden eyes of the brown-haired girl.

"...I'm fine, Ruth."

After being dazed for a while, he showed a relieved smile to Kolusta, and said softly, "Sorry, I made you worry."

"What kind of talk is that!" Seeing that he was really fine, Kolusta let go of his hands and said with some self-blame, "The matter has developed to this point, I should have brought you back a long time ago... You have suffered for so long in vain over there, I am the one who should apologize!"

"But if I come back early, who can help you buy time to come to Seaside Town?" Kvitt said reassuringly, "Okay, little girl—this is also my hometown, and protecting it is always the right thing to do." My mission, there is nothing that requires you to apologize to me."

He smiled at Kolusta, let out a long breath, and in the blink of an eye saw Gloria who was watching him gently.

The silver-haired daughter of the duke nodded slightly to Kwitt, took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to him dignifiedly and gracefully, and said with a smile: "Dear Mr. McGrady, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice during this time, now You are finally back, and some truth must be revealed as soon as possible, so that everyone knows what you have done for us-and, please allow me to be an incompetent representative to say this sentence-Seaside Town Will be proud of you."

Kvit shook hands with the famous Celentdis in a flattered manner, and couldn't help saying: "That's what I should do, and it doesn't deserve your praise..."

——In fact, when he made eye contact with Gloria, the first thought that popped into his mind was "I hugged Ruth just now...it's great to be alive."

"No, of course it's worth it." Gloria shook her head, but she didn't continue to argue with him. Instead, she withdrew her hand and turned sideways, smiling again, and said softly, "I'm obliged to tell you, your Parents have been very worried and suffering these days...but Wende must have explained the real situation to the two of them at this time, and they are on their way here—”

Before she finished speaking, her voice was interrupted by a crying "Kovett" behind her. Mrs. McGrady rushed over and hugged her son tightly, and tears slid down like beads on a broken thread. Kvitt choked with fear and pride, "My child... Fortunately, you are fine, fortunately, you are fine..."

Kvitt was slightly taken aback, hugged his mother who was crying out of breath, and gently smoothed her back, showing a big smile, comforting softly: "Yes, Mom, of course I'm fine."

He raised his head, looked at his father who was standing not far away with the same red eyes, nodded vigorously at him, and repeated: "Of course I'm fine, don't worry."

Mr. McGrady took a deep breath, stretched out his hand in relief, and patted his son's shoulder hard.

Standing next to Gloria, Kolusta watched the reunion of the family of three with relief, and couldn't help sighing, "It's really happy for everyone, so I can feel relieved."

Gloria turned her head and smiled at her. She didn't say much about the matter, but stretched out her hand to touch her lover's dark eyes, "You should also take a good rest."

"No, it's not time to rest yet." Kolusta shook her head, and just when she was about to continue to say something, someone gently tugged on her right hand that was hanging aside.

She blinked her eyes, turned her head, and just looked at Mu Sen with an unhappy face——

"That friend of yours actually said that I'm not tall," the Lord Demon King, who was still sulking, said angrily, "Why is he so impolite! ——I don't think he's much taller than me!"

Kolusta: "..."

She touched her younger brother's hair tolerantly and perfunctorily, and after casually boasting, "I have grown at least ten centimeters taller when I went to the Demon Race", she successfully asked the satisfied Mu Sen to arrange for the Demon Race brought by him. Reinforcements are here.

"At least wait until the situation is fully stabilized before you can rest."

Kolusta turned around, leaned forward and rubbed the corner of Gloria's lips, and finished what she had just said.

The fusion of the magic circle that condenses the magic is completed; the reinforcements from Satrick and Musen are all in place, the healing potion has begun to be distributed with the assistance of Professor Lysa and others, and Principal Kata has also joined the merged army , is discussing the next defense and tactics with Duke Reginald.

And now, Kvitt, the last worry of the black side, has also been rescued successfully...

Now is the time for them to fight back.
