Angel of War, the battle is about to begin. We ask that you assist us.
Alice stood up, and Burc leapt onto her shoulder. She poked her head out of the carriage window. I thought the city was still a while away.
It is, the man standing outside said. However, the Hungarians have deployed a small troop in the fields to block our path. No doubt, theyre there to buy ti for their main force to gather in the capital.
Oh, Alice said. She furrowed her brow. Didnt Suleiman say I was only needed to punch down walls? Why do you need my help all of a sudden?
The man bowed his head. The Padishah has discovered an anomaly on the battlefield. There are twelve people holding a sign. They belong to the church and wish to preserve the balance of the world by capturing you.
And Suleiman reacted by asking to go out? Alice blinked twice. Was this church enough to threaten Suleiman? If it was the force behind the Holy Roman Empire, wouldnt he have had to clash with them anyway? Why is he capitulating?
The mans nostrils flared. Upon seeing the sign, our Padishah had the artillery set up and fire a volley at them. The man shuddered, and his face beca slightly pale. They were bombarded; however, they were completely unhurt amidst the bombardnt. Thats when he realized their powers were above the normal persons, perhaps as great as yours.
Alices eyes lit up, and she clenched her fists.
Please, dont get angry, the man said. Our Padishah isnt selling
Angry? Alice asked and let out a smile that was more of a smirk. Why would I get angry? Fortress walls are completely stationary. Do you know how long its been since Ive had a satisfying fight? And now youre saying theres twelve people whore worth fighting against? This is the happiest day of the past three months!
You know, Burc said after licking his paw, I shouldve realized it when you first talked to in cat language, but youre really not a normal person in stature or in the mind.
Alice turned her head and gave the fluffy, white cat a deadpan expression. Do you ever have anything nice to say?
I praise you when you feed , dont I? Burc asked. Soon, youll be conditioned into feeling happy every ti you give food, a win-win situation for the both of us.
Alice rolled her eyes and fed Burc a piece of jerky.
I cant wait to see you fight, Burc said and grabbed the piece of jerky with his front paws. I bet youll do great.
What kind of abilities do those twelve people have? Alice asked the man after she descended the carriage. She was given a horse to ride towards the front of the army. How do you know theyre like ?
When you punched down the walls of Belgrade, you were wreathed in a golden light, the man said, his eyes turning vacant as if he were rembering Alices figure back then. It was as if a deity was protecting you. The mans eyes narrowed. Its the sa for those twelve people. They were surrounded by a white light, and our bombardnt beca completely ineffectual. It was as if an impenetrable wall had been erected in front of them. The stone balls hit the white light and slowed down, losing all their power before touching down on the ground in front of their feet.
Alice furrowed her brow. So kind of barrier then, she said. It seems like they have a capable white mage amongst them; Ill have to target him first. How about their offensive ability? Did they attack the army?
No, the man said. They rely pointed at the sign. They promised not to interfere in the upcoming battle as long as you took to the field. They also promised they wouldnt kill you, only capture you if you resisted.
Are they underestimating ? Alice asked and narrowed her eyes. Surely, they realize its a hundred tis harder to capture an animal than it is to kill it, right?
Did you just compare yourself to an animal? Burc asked and flicked his tail. He snorted. Dont think that highly of yourself.
You, what? No, what are you evennever mind. Alice rolled her eyes. The front of the army was just ahead, and Alice nodded at Suleiman as she approached. Theres twelve strong people? she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Suleiman gestured towards the opposite side of the field. There were thousands of n. Most of them were infantry, but their left and right sides were flanked by cavalry. At the very back, there were a few dozen cannons, but nowhere near as many as the Ottomans. The Ottomans had close to a hundred thousand n. If the two sides clashed, it was going to be a slaughter. However, at the very front of the Hungarian army, there were twelve conspicuous n standing underneath a massive banner.
Thats them, huh? Alice asked. She frowned. The terrain that the Ottomans had just traversed was very marshy and almost impossible to make it through in one organized formation. They didnt attack right away?
For so reason, Suleiman said and stroked his chin, they arent taking advantage of the marshes. Why choose this position in this battlefield if they werent going to use it? Perhaps theyre extrely confident in those twelve. If it was in the past, he wouldnt have even considered sothing as outlandish as that: twelve n stopping an army of a hundred thousand. However, after eting Alice, he didnt dare underestimate a single person. Theyre most likely going to torture you and burn you at the stake if you lose. If youd like to avoid this fight, Ill send a group of my most elite n to buy you so ti to retreat.
? Alice asked, a golden rune faintly lighting up her forehead. Retreat? Her irises turned a murky yellow and expanded, filling in the whites of her eyes, much like a lions. Im sorry; I havent learned the aning of that word yet.
But you
Shut up, Burc. Dont ruin the mont.
