18 - Holy Knight Lyle 聖騎士萊爾

From atop the ramparts, I looked at the enemies approaching Zayin9;s capital.

在城牆上，我看着逼近扎因首都的敵人。

The numbers deployed outside the gate looked to be around twenty thousand.

門外部署的人數大約有兩萬人。

There weren9;t any mercenaries participating. More than that, there were few siege weapons to be found. The troop morale was exceedingly low.

沒有任何僱傭兵參與。更重要的是，幾乎沒有發現攻城武器。部隊士氣極其低落。

“They don9;t want to point a bow at their homeland, I see.”

“我明白了，他們不想向自己的祖國鞠躬。”

Before the army that had arrived before Zayin9;s capital on the fourth day, I looked at the hesitant troops, and muttered.

第四天抵達扎印都城前的大軍面前，我看着猶豫不決的大軍，嘀咕道。

Our side was the same. The recapture was successful, but our converted allies were hesitant to point bows at those that were their comrades not but several days before.

我們這邊也是一樣。奪回行動取得了成功，但我們皈依的盟友卻猶豫是否要向幾天前的戰友鞠躬。

I touched the Jewel as I reflected on how I hadn9;t anticipated that.

當我觸碰寶石時，我反思自己是如何沒有預料到的。

0;I9;m glad we avoided wat. If we properly went at each other, the fissure between Zayin9;s capital and provinces would widen. And after entering the capital, there wereplenty of soldiers who didn9;t feel it right on an emotional level.1;

（我很高興我們避開了wat。如果我們適當地互相攻擊的話，扎音首都和各省之間的裂痕就會擴大。而且進入首都後，有很多士兵感覺不太對勁）情緒層面。）

After taking control of the temple, the soldiers sided with us.

控制寺廟後，士兵們站在了我們一邊。

The Holy Maiden was no longer there, so weighing the odds, it would be comparatively easier just to join our side. As I thought, the Holy Maiden held an important meaning to this country.

聖女已經不在了，權衡利弊，加入我們這邊還是比較容易的。正如我所想，聖女對於這個國家有着重要的意義。

The one looking at the gate, that appeared even more sturdy than usual, was Armand. He exited his tent in his armor, saw the depressed figures around, and snapped.

Making preparations to attack.

“Lyle-san, you9;re really doing it?”

The one who suggested this dirty tactic was the Third. But all I needed to do was make an opening. We had around five hundred soldiers with proper equipment…

我轉身，身後是一些士兵的家屬。克萊拉嚴厲地盯着我。

“當然。那不是最好的嗎？我希望儘可能減少傷亡。”

The declining troop morale was to an extent where it was clearly visible to the naked eye. Regardless of his orders, they didn9;t even try to put together the siege weapons.

A voice came from the Jewel.

『Too many have chosen to go along with it. The capital has already fallen. The enemy doesn9;t have a clear grasp of our side, and our Holy Maiden has already officially declared them traitors.』

提出這種骯髒策略的是第三者。但我需要做的就是打開一個空缺。我們有大約五百名裝備齊全的士兵……

…太陽昇起，扎銀門清晰可見。

The Seventh.

“Lyle-san, are you just going to glare at one another like that? It looks like they could crush us just like that.”

… The sun rose, and Zayin9;s gate became clearly visible.

“不要被假聖女之類的人所欺騙！”

即使他們這樣做了，他們的動作也毫無活力。受到叛軍的待遇，騎士們紛紛效仿周圍的士兵。

“萊爾桑，你真的這麼做了嗎？”

0;Ornament or not, the Holy Maiden is the Holy Maiden.1;

亞烏拉小姐被任命爲正式的聖女，承認聖騎士爲正式的常備軍。那些跟隨神聖騎士團的人被宣佈爲叛軍。

“Now, shall we begin?”

“在這之前我有一個想法。”

這是第四次。

部隊士氣低落到了肉眼可見的程度。不管他的命令如何，他們甚至沒有嘗試組裝攻城武器。

“Of course. Wouldn9;t that be best? I want to keep the casualties as low as possible.”

我搖了搖頭。

I nodded.

The morning sun rose, and I watched the enemy show no signs of movement as I thought.

第五位說話了。

這居然出奇的有效，敵人慌了。

清晨的太陽昇起，我發現敵人並沒有如我想象的那樣有任何動靜。

寶石中傳來了聲音。

And suspicion turns shadows to ogres. They thought there may be traitors within the country.

當我看着一動不動的敵人時，我旁邊的克拉拉開口了。

大部分從各省聚集的士兵都已經感受到了被前聖女塞爾瑪稱爲叛逆者的感覺。她是一個專門處理內政的人，不僅關注首都，而且平等地關注所有領地。

“僱傭兵放棄了他們，是嗎？更何況，他們連攻城武器都還沒開始組裝……”

『They won9;t attack their home, that sort of thing. It9;s laughable when you think of what they planned to do to another country of humans. What9;s more, the funds are now in our hands. Mercenaries are cold ones to employers who can9;t pay.』

It was the Fourth.

正在準備進攻。

I shook my head.

看着大門，看上去比平時更加壯實的，是阿芒德。他穿着鎧甲走出帳篷，看到周圍鬱鬱寡歡的人影，厲聲說道。

“I have an idea for before it comes to that.”

『我懷疑他們有沒有想過你們能用六百塊來承受。也許他們認爲你有三千或更多？畢竟，國內存在對立派別。』

『他們不會襲擊他們的家之類的。當你想到他們計劃對另一個人類國家做的事情時，你會覺得很可笑。更重要的是，資金現在已經到了我們手裏。對於付不起工資的僱主來說，僱傭兵是冷漠的。』

I turned, and behind me were the some of the soldiers9; families. Clara stared at me quite harshly.

“The mercenaries gave up on them, did they? What9;s more, they haven9;t even begun to assemble their siege weapons…”

When I watched the unmoving enemy, Clara beside me spoke.

“萊爾小姐，你就這麼互相瞪視嗎？看來他們就這樣就能碾壓我們了。”

The Fifth spoke.

0;Not that they9;re wrong.1;

“Don9;t be deceived by the likes of a false Holy Maiden!”

That was actually surprisingly effective, and the enemy was flustered.

（不管有沒有裝飾，聖女就是聖女。）

Most of the soldiers gathered from the provinces already felt like running upon being called rebels by former Holy Maiden Thelma. She was one who specialized in internal affairs, who turned an eye not only to the capital, but to all territories equally.

『I doubt they ever thought you guys would be able to take it with six hundred. Perhaps they think you have three thousand or more? There were opposing factions within the country, after all.』

➐

『太多人選擇了跟隨它。首都已經淪陷了。敵人還沒有完全掌握我方情況，聖女已經正式宣佈他們爲叛徒了。』

“現在，我們開始吧？”

Aura-san was named the official Holy Maiden, and she recognized the Holy Knights as the official standing army. Those that abided the Divine Knights were proclaimed as a rebel army.

懷疑將陰影變成了食人魔。他們認爲國內可能存在叛徒。

第七。

（並不是說他們錯了。）

我點點頭。

Even if they did, their movements held no vigor. Receiving rebel army treatment, the knights followed the examples of the soldiers around them.

And the result that Remis had been killed.

結果雷米斯被殺了。

That was a painful one.

那是一件痛苦的事。

There wasn9;t a Holy Maiden left to recognize them. Armand seemed quite irritated as he listened to the voices of his soldiers.

沒有一個聖女可以認出他們。阿爾芒聽着士兵們的聲音，顯得很惱怒。

“I can9;t point my bow there. My family9;s in those walls. Don9;t know what I9;ll hit.”

“Me poor ol9; mum… set fire to the city, an9; she won9;t be able to get out.”

“What9;s this. Even after you called it an easy win, the knights aren9;t of any use at all.”

“我不能把弓指向那裏。我的家人就在那堵牆裏。不知道我會打到什麼。”“我可憐的老媽媽……放火燒了這座城市，她就無法出去了。”“這是什麼？即使你說這是一場輕鬆的勝利，騎士也根本沒有任何用處。”

Armand began to panic. It wasn9;t just the provincial soldiers, the lowered morale was quite severe among the capital soldiers as well.

阿爾芒開始驚慌。不只是省軍，就連京城士兵士氣低落也相當嚴重。

0;Don9;t panic. We have twenty thousand. Take out the rear supports, and that still leaves fifteen thousand. The other side has three or four thousand at most… otherwise, they would never have been able to reach the castle while evading our advance. We even have siege weapons. If I force them to work, and push them back…1;

（別慌，我們有兩萬，去掉後面的支援，還剩下一萬五千，對方頂多三四千……不然根本就達不到一邊躲避我們的進攻，一邊攻城。我們還有攻城武器。如果我強迫它們發揮作用，把它們推回去……）

After he thought that far, a voice came from atop the wall. It didn9;t belong to a soldier.

他想了這麼遠，城牆上傳來了聲音。它不屬於士兵。

When Armand hurriedly looked up the wall, he saw the residents of the town.

當阿芒德急忙往牆上看去時，他看到了小鎮的居民。

“Marco, come home! You can still make it!”

“Dear, do you really plan on attacking us!? Get over here at once, and apologize!”

我在面板後面深吸了一口氣後，就聽到旁邊傳來了聲音。我左邊的阿莉亞身穿紅色鎧甲，一邊呼喚着我。

“我是聖騎士團副團長克雷特！先生們，起義軍先生們！如果你想打，我們不會阻止你。但是你能和你應該保護的人一起攻擊這座城市嗎！？如果是現在，我們就不會被指控爲助紂爲虐的罪名了！放下武器，立刻投降！各省的士兵也是如此！如果你想戰而不散，那我們就與你較量！”

They ran away in droves, the knights unable to stop it gathered in front of Armand.

Before us were panicking soldiers. And noticing us, the knights hurriedly took their weapons in hand, and got on their horses.

“我受夠了！我要逃跑，隊長！就好像我會聽從你的話，用武器指着我的家人一樣！你可以去爲自己而戰！”

在他們身後是全副武裝的士兵。在這幾天裏，我們能夠對他們進行一些協調，但進攻和輪換是我們所能做到的。

阿爾芒嘀咕道。

Complex formations were impossible; furthermore, it didn9;t hold much purpose on this specific battlefield.

大門打開了。

在我們面前的是驚慌失措的士兵。騎士們看到我們，趕緊拿起武器，上了馬。

0;I don9;t know that man… could he be a setup from Thelma…!1;

“You sure get nervous at some strange times. Infiltrating the temple was much more dangerous.”

“懦夫和叛徒！你手裏的武器只是擺設嗎！！？”

與第六號持有的相似，優點是魔力消耗不高。我把它夾在腋下，對大家下達了命令。

Putting her efforts to internal affairs, she wouldn9;t prepare a battlefield for the men who9;s lived their lives to fight.

The gate opened.

On my right, Miranda wore green armor and called over to me. The reason we all wore conspicuous colors was to concentrate attention on us.

She held up her spear on horseback, and her form was that of a knight in itself.

Not long after Armad had enlisted in the Divine Knight Brigade, the Holy Maiden changed to Thelma. And then, they suddenly stopped invading other countries as they had altogether.

“What are you getting nervous about now?”

Mounted, I removed the Jewel around my neck, and gripped it in my right hand.

我將右手舉到肩膀的高度，並舉在前面。我一握，它就發出藍色的光芒，一把銀色的戟出現了。

她在馬背上舉起長矛，其形態本身就是一位騎士。

他對着大門大喊，大門慢慢地打開了。在他們身後，騎兵們已經做好了戰鬥的準備……

“I am Creit, vice-captain of the Holy Knights! Gentlemen, rebel army gentlemen! If you wish to fight, we9;ll stop you not. But can you bring yourselves to attack the city with the ones you should be protecting!? If it9;s now, we shall not charge the sin of aiding a rebel force! Throw down your weapons, and surrender at once! The same goes for the soldiers of the provinces! If you wish to fight without dissolution, then we shall take you on!”

「這、這些傢伙，一點都不害羞嗎！？讓手無寸鐵的平民上戰場！？哎呀，開始準備攻擊……”

“I9;m sick and tired of this! I9;m running away, captain! As if I9;ll heed your words to point a weapon at my family! You can go fight for yourself!”

“在某些奇怪的時刻你肯定會感到緊張。潛入神殿要危險得多。”

“Daddy! Pwease come home.”

The others were Creit-san, and adventurers that had once been knights…

And then another. One by one, the soldiers cast aside their weapons, and parted from the base camp.

“馬可，回家吧！你還可以的！”“親愛的，你真的要攻擊我們嗎！？趕緊過來，給我道歉！” “爸爸！請回家吧。”

After I took a deep breath behind my faceplate, I heard a voice from the side. Aria to my left wore red armor as she called out to me.

“隊長！不可能！已經沒有辦法阻止他們了！”

阿瑪德加入神騎士團後不久，聖女就變成了塞爾瑪。然後，他們突然停止了入侵其他國家的行爲。

I brought my right hand up to shoulder level, and held it up front. When I clenched it, it let off a blue light, and a silver halberd manifested.

城牆上站着士兵的家屬。而一名全身板甲的男子走了出來，做出了大膽的宣言。

“T-these guys, aren9;t they embarrassed at all!? Putting up unarmed civilians on the battlefield!? Oy, start the preparations to attack at…”

Armand muttered.

“停、停！不要逃跑！在敵人炮火下逃兵是死罪！我再說一遍，不要逃跑！”

“Cowards and traitors! Are the weapons in your hands mere decorations!!?”

其他人是克雷特小姐，以及曾經是騎士的冒險者……

He yelled at the gates, and slowly, they began to open. Behind them, the mounted knights were ready to fight…

“Captain! It9;s impossible! There9;s no stopping them anymore!”

Armand cried out, but a single soldier stepped forward, and dropped his weapons.

➐

Atop the ramparts stood the families of the soldiers. And a man in full plate armor came out, and made a bold declaration.

“像這樣的事情……甚至沒有戰鬥……我就輸了。這二十年……我到底是懷着怎樣的心情去承受的……”

把精力放在內政上，她不會爲那些一生都在戰鬥的男人準備戰場。

“H-halt! Do not flee! Deserting under enemy fire is a capital crime! I repeat, do not flee!”

看着士兵們開始逃跑，阿爾芒感到鮮血順着他緊握的拳頭流淌。

And behind them were fully armed soldiers. We were able to coordinate them a bit over the few days we had, but attack and rotate was all we could manage.

（我不認識那個人……他會不會是塞爾瑪的圈套……！）

然後是另一個。士兵們一一放下武器，離開了大本營。

It resembled the one the Sixth held, and it had an advantageous point of not consuming too much Mana. I held it under my armpit, and gave the orders to everyone.

他們成羣結隊地逃跑，騎士們無法阻止，聚集在阿爾芒面前。

在我的右邊，身穿綠色鎧甲的米蘭達向我招呼。我們都穿着顯眼的顏色的原因是爲了將注意力集中在我們身上。

He was a man with short blond hair, and he threw his weapons and walked off in quite a conspicuous way. Seeing him, Armand thought…

“你現在在緊張什麼？”

他是一個金髮短髮的男人，他扔掉武器，以相當顯眼的方式走開。看到他，阿爾芒想……

Watching the soldiers begin to flee, Armand felt blood flow down his clenched fist.

阿爾芒大聲喊叫，但一名士兵走上前來，扔下了武器。

“Something like this… without even fighting… for me to lose. In these twenty years… just what sentiment did I feel to endure it…”

安裝完畢後，我取下脖子上的寶石，並將其握在右手中。

複雜的陣型是不可能的；而且，在這個特定的戰場上，它並沒有多大的作用。

“Aim for the Divine Knight Brigade! Don9;t bat an eye at the soldiers! The enemy knight captain9;s head alone. Then it will be our win! … ATTACK!!”

“瞄準神騎士團！不要對士兵眨眼！敵方騎士團長的頭顱單獨存在。那麼這將是我們的勝利！ … 攻擊！！”

I urged forward the horse, and the other riders followed. A majority of the enemy soldiers had dispersed, so we were able to launch an attack on the unorganized knight brigade without any resistance.

我催馬前進，其他騎手緊隨其後。敵軍大部分已經散去，我們可以毫無抵抗地對無組織的騎士團發起攻擊。

To the knight that raced at me with a lance, I swung my halberd sideways, cutting through lance ant all.

面對拿着長槍向我衝來的騎士，我橫向揮出戟，將長槍全部斬斷。

Aria also spun her spear, and pierced through the knights gathered around her.

艾莉亞也旋轉長矛，刺穿了聚集在她周圍的騎士們。

Miranda parried the spear of a knight with the dagger in her right hand, let out strings from her left, and dropped them from their horse.

米蘭達用右手的匕首擋開騎士的長矛，從左手放出繩子，將繩子從馬背上扔下來。

When she immobilized enemies, the soldiers following behind would finish them off.

當她讓敵人動彈不得時，後面的士兵就會將他們消滅。

Creit-san was also fighting enemies on horseback, and pushing them back. Perhaps it was just a matter of personal ability, but he seemed to be relying on his battle experience as an adventurer.

克雷特桑也在馬背上與敵人戰鬥，並將他們擊退。或許只是個人能力的問題，但他似乎是靠着冒險者的戰鬥經驗。

However, there really was a problem with our coordination.

但是，我們的協調確實存在問題。

0;He9;s too fixated on it.1;

（太專注了。）

When I looked at Creit-san, a horseman9;s spear came at me from my blind spot. I turned it aside with my Halberd in one hand, used my left to dray my sabre, and pierced it into the gaps of his armor.

當我看向克雷特先生時，騎兵的長槍從我的盲點向我襲來。我一手持戟將其撥開，左手拖着刀，刺入了他鎧甲的縫隙中。

“你這麼想偷東西嗎？你就這麼渴望戰爭嗎？爲了什麼！？」

He tried to take some distance, but I followed him forward. I wouldn9;t give him that chance.

His body larger than mine was swinging around his polearm with unmatched power. After blocking a blow, my horse couldn9;t endure it, and stooped a little.

I blocked, repelled, and gradually warded off his blows, destroying his stance on his horse.

『不愧是騎士團長，他的武器真是太棒了。萊爾，盡情地與他戰鬥吧。』

“怎麼了，孩子！？這就是你的全部嗎！？就這樣！？ 20年！我壓抑了二十年的感情，你配得上嗎！！”

“這就是騎士。你們貴族不都一樣嗎！？戰鬥、偷竊並贏得榮耀！這有什麼區別！？你這種不懂戰爭的小子就閉嘴吧！別想裝聰明，無知的孩子！”

Hearing that, I took my eyes off the intense battle around me, and turned myself towards the Divine Knights Brigade Captain… Armand Bernard.

“So you are the leader of the rebel camp! Let yourself be cut down by me! I9;ll send that woman not long after!”

我格擋，擊退，逐漸擋開他的攻擊，破壞了他的馬勢。

“Do you want to steal so badly? Do you wish for war so much? For what sake!?”

My opponent raised his face plate, and yelled at me. Was it resentment, or anger? I9;m not sure, but he looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

As Divine Knight after Divine knight was taken down, Armand his his foot against his horse9;s stomach, to send it galloping at me.

我能理解他對自己的技能的磨練程度。但他揮舞武器的理由卻很可怕。

“That is what a knight is. Are you nobles not the same!? Fight, steal, and gain glory! What difference does it make!? A brat like yourself who knows nothing of war should just shut his mouth! Don9;t try to act smart, ignorant kid!”

There, I heard a voice from the Halberd. No, a voice from the glowing blue Jewel embedded in its axe portion.

他比我更大的身體以無與倫比的力量圍繞着他的長柄武器擺動。擋下一擊後，我的馬受不了了，微微彎下身子。

『Lyle, at least say your name. Because this will be the end of it.』

我沒有摘下自己的頭盔來回應。面板上沒有安裝打開和關閉功能。我不太願意摘下頭盔跟他說話。

The surroundings had quieted down to watch our fight.

第七人說話了。

他砍倒了一名聖騎士大隊的成員，他們倒在了地上一動不動。看着他的武器，我睜大了眼睛。

Armand didn9;t mean it when he said it, but it felt to me as if he was insulting the Sixth. I gritted my teeth.

“What9;s wrong, kid!? Is that all you9;ve got!? That9;s all!? Twenty years! The feelings I9;ve held down for twenty years of my life, are you worthy of them!!?”

當我們的戟交叉時火花四濺。

And after lifting it up, he swung it freely left and right. I blocked, parried, and continued looking at him through the scattering sparks.

Blood spurted out of the crevice. Without pulling my sabre out, I let it go. As the knight fell from his horse, the Fifth let out his voice.

我舉起了我的戟。

在那裏，第三個人說話了。

鮮血從縫隙中噴湧而出。我沒有拔出軍刀，就放開了。當騎士從馬背上摔下來時，第五人發出了聲音。

聞言，我將視線從周圍激烈的戰鬥上移開，轉向神騎士團團長……阿爾芒·伯納德。

“A-a child… just how much will she make a fool of me!?”

戰場上將軍之間的一對一戰鬥。我從來沒想過事情會發展到這個地步。我的意思是，敵人沒有弓箭手，也沒有士兵來保護他們。

『Right, no different. It9;s true we9;re the worst trash you could find.』

“燦爛。這是你的第一次。你看，是最重要的最高統帥……騎士團長。』

As fate would have it we each held a halberd in our hands.

He cut down a member of the Holy Knight brigade, and they fell motionless to the ground. Looking at his weapon, I opened my eyes wide.

他試圖拉開一段距離，但我跟着他向前走。我不會給他這個機會。

Sparks flew as our halberds crossed paths.

On my words, Armand.

The Seventh spoke.

“聖騎士團團長……萊爾·沃爾特。你是神騎士大隊的隊長對吧？我很樂意接受你。”

命運註定我們每個人手裏都握着一把戟。

『As expected a captain of knights, his weapon9;s quite a piece of work. Lyle, fight him to your heart9;s content.』

『Splendid. For your first time, that is. Look, it9;s the all-important supreme commander… the knight captain.』

One on one combat between generals on the battlefield. I never really thought it would come to that. I mean, the enemy had no archers, or soldiers around to protect them.

隨着神騎士被打倒，阿曼德一腳踩在馬腹上，讓它向我疾馳而來。

I held up my Halberd.

Hearing my voice, perhaps he inferred I was still young, as his face turned even redder. He lowered his visor, and the eyes I could see threw them were glaring as if to shoot me to death.

以我的話來說，阿爾芒。

There, the third spoke.

『萊爾，至少說出你的名字吧。因爲這將是它的終結。』

在那裏，我聽到了戟的聲音。不，是從嵌在斧頭部分的發光藍色寶石發出的聲音。

“Captain of the Holy Knight Brigade… Lyle Walt. You9;re the Divine Knight Brigade Captain, correct? I9;ll happily take you on.”

And I could understand just how much he had polished his skills. Yet the reason he swung his weapon was terrible.

“原來你是叛軍陣營的首領！就讓你自己被我砍掉吧！過不了多久我就會派那個女人來！”

周圍安靜下來觀看我們的戰鬥。

I didn9;t take off my own helmet to respond. The faceplate didn9;t have an open and shut function installed in it. I wasn9;t inclined enough to go as far as to take off my helmet to talk to him.

“這、一個孩子……她到底要愚弄我到什麼程度啊！？”

我的對手舉起了他的面罩，對我大喊大叫。是怨恨，還是憤怒？我不確定，但他用佈滿血絲的眼睛看着我。

聽到我的聲音，他或許以爲我還年輕，臉更紅了。他放下面罩，我能看到的那雙眼睛怒目而視，彷彿要把我射死。

舉起它後，他自由地左右擺動。我格擋、招架，然後繼續透過四散的火花看着他。

阿爾芒說的時候並不是這個意思，但我感覺他好像在侮辱六世。我咬牙切齒。

『對，沒什麼不同。確實，我們是你能找到的最糟糕的垃圾。』

『Right, right. One wrong step, and we9;re no different than bandits. Plain trash.』

『對對對。一步錯了，我們就和土匪沒什麼兩樣了。普通垃圾。』

『But you see, trash has its trashy pride. Don9;t lump us together with you guys who only know how to rage about!』

『但是你看，垃圾也有垃圾的驕傲。別把我們和你們這些只知道憤怒的傢伙混爲一談！』

『Hmm, not a knight, and not a bandit. You9;re just trash that9;s convinced itself it9;s just. I9;d be troubled if you lumped us together.』

『哼，不是騎士，也不是強盜。你只是個垃圾，卻堅信自己是正義的。如果你把我們混爲一談的話，我會很煩惱。』

I felt that the Fifth9;s tone was more stern than usual.

我感覺老五的語氣比平時更加嚴厲。

0;Did he think of the Sixth, and get angry…1;

（他是不是想到了老六，生氣了……）

I took a strong swing to knock the blow he lowered at me aside. His stance crumbled, as I noticed his shortness of breath.

我用力一揮，把他對我的攻擊打到一邊。當我注意到他呼吸急促時，他的立場崩潰了。

“Truly, nobles are trash as well! There are plenty of horrible ones among them!”

“果然貴族也是垃圾！其中，還有很多可怕的東西！”

I started on the offense, and Armand turned his weapon to defend. Numerous sparks flew, causing Armand opened his eyes wide.

我開始進攻，阿爾芒則轉而防守。無數火花飛濺，阿爾芒睜大了眼睛。

“Even so!”

“即便如此！”

I raised mine overhead, and lowered it. When he blocked it, the force sent him flying backwards, horse and all.

As his words shut me up, a voice came from the Jewel. It was the Third.

再次舉戟，只見他已被向上彈開，胸口大開。

“There was no choice! I didn9;t have a choice! Those were orders! I wasn9;t at fault! Stop! Don9;t pull me in!! No! I don9;t want to go to hell!!”

Perhaps he remembered something, as he shouted out a name.

The surrounding friends and foes were looking upon the scene.

“K-kid… go to hell.”

He had attacked other lands, just as Armand had. But he had a reason for that.

After changing my grip, I swiped it horizontally.

Skill… Mind… It was a Skill that influenced the mind.

驚恐萬狀的敵方騎士開始投降，我們的戰爭也即將結束。但戰爭結束後，又一場戰爭在等待着。

阿芒德的鎧甲上出現了一道橫向的傷口，大片的鮮血從那裏流了出來。阿爾芒仍然騎在馬背上，握着戟，倒在馬脖子上。

（他們不一樣！第六……和你不一樣！）

震撼人心，迷惑敵人的心。但要考慮到時間和地點。只需使用一點建議...

當鮮血從他的胸口湧出時，阿爾芒扔下了他的戟，並試圖從他身上撬開一些我看不到的東西。

阿爾芒的臉色變得蒼白。

他慘叫一聲，滿臉恐懼，倒在地上，停止了呼吸。在那裏，倖存的神騎士們扔下了武器。

And the war with Lorphys. Those various battles, and the aftercare…

周圍的朋友和敵人都在看着這一幕。

“Please forgive me! I was only following orders!”

當他喊出一個名字時，也許他想起了什麼。

Aura-san who became Holy Maiden.

“扎羅！那、那是錯誤的！那是一場意外！我告訴你一個意外！嗚嗚哇！！別碰我；別碰我！”

“你能聽到嗎？你爲了名譽而殺害的無罪靈魂的聲音？你看得到他們嗎？那些手臂環繞着你，將你拖入地獄？”

Thelma-san and Gastone-san as her advisors.

As blood poured out from his chest, Armand threw down his halberd, and tried to pry something I couldn9;t see off of him

第五忍受了，第六繼續進攻。是爲了保護它。如果他們永遠受到攻擊，他們就認定自己永遠無法保衛領土，所以……

“N-no! I don9;t want to go to hell! Nooooo!!”

我將我的頭舉高，然後又放下。當他擋住它時，力量把他連馬都向後飛了出去。

“這、錯了！我不一樣！”“請原諒我！我只是執行命令而已！” “不、不！我不想下地獄！不！！”

A horizontal gash appeared on Armand9;s armor, and from it, a large mass of blood flowed out. Still mounted, gripping his halberd, Armand collapsed onto his horse9;s neck.

“They aren9;t like you, they aren9;t entities that can only live by taking! There are splendid men among them!”

I got the feeling I saw the Sixth9;s form. The sixth who fought to extend the territory, but to get to that point his life had taken a number of turns.

『Lyle, try using 【Mind】. Show him. That we aren9;t the only ones who9;ll fall into hell.』

“別擔心。我已經下定決心了。你覺得我有足夠的慈悲心來原諒你嗎？”

I held up the halberd, and raised a cry of victory.

Lifting my halberd again, I saw his had been repelled upwards, leaving his chest wide open.

他攻擊過其他國家，就像阿爾芒一樣。但他這樣做是有原因的。

我感覺我看到了六號的身影。第六人爲擴張領土而戰，但爲了達到這一點，他的人生經歷了多次轉折。

“別無選擇！我別無選擇！那是命令！我沒有錯！停止！別拉我進去！！不！我不想下地獄！！”

Shook it up, and confused an enemy9;s heart. But by taking into account the time and place. And by using just a bit of suggestion…

The fear-stricken enemy knight began to surrender, and our war was coming to its end. But after it ended, yet another war awaited.

“Can you hear it? The voices of the sinless souls you9;ve killed for your fame? Can you see them? Those arms wrapping around you, and dragging you down to hell?”

當他的話讓我閉嘴時，寶石中傳來了一個聲音。這是第三個。

0;They aren9;t the same! The Sixth… isn9;t the same as you!1;

There, Armand9;s complexion turned pale.

“他們和你不一樣，他們不是靠索取生存的存在！其中不乏優秀的男子漢！”

“Don9;t worry. I9;m already resolved for that. Do you think I9;m compassionate enough to forgive you?”

技能…心靈…這是影響心靈的技能。

他抬起臉怒視着我。

I pointed my left hand at him.

成爲聖女的亞烏拉小姐。

改變握法後，我水平滑動了它。

He raised his face to glare at me.

以及與洛菲斯的戰爭。那些各種各樣的戰鬥，以及善後……

“K-kid……見鬼去吧。”

“T-that9;s wrong! I9;m different!”

“Don9;t lump them together!”

He cried out, and with a face dyed by fear, he fell on the ground, and stopped breathing. There, the surviving Divine Knights cast aside their weapons.

“不要把他們混爲一談！”

『萊爾，試試用【心靈】吧。讓他看。我們不是唯一會墮入地獄的人。』

The Fifth endured it, the Sixth went on the offence. It was to protect it. If they were going to be attacked forever, they determined that they would never be able to defend the territory, so…

我用左手指着他。

“Zauro! T-that9;s wrong! That was an accident! An accident I tell you! U-uwaaaah!! Don9;t touch me; don9;t touch me!”

塞爾瑪小姐和加斯托內小姐擔任她的顧問。

我舉起了畫戟，發出了勝利的呼喊。

“Victory is ours!”

“勝利是我們的！”

The surrounding soldiers raised a roar, and the enemy knights sat on the ground. About to cry, and cradling their heads.

周圍的士兵發出一聲怒吼，敵方騎士坐倒在地。抱着頭，快要哭了。

The surrounding knights and soldiers were looking at me. In their eyes, respect, fear… various emotions were present.

周圍的騎士和士兵都看着我。他們的眼中，有敬畏，有敬畏……各種情緒湧現。

And Aria approached on her horse.

阿麗亞騎着馬走近。

“You, could you really be a Holy Knight or something? N-no, I always thought you were a little bit of a strange one, but might you possibly be a real something or another?”

“你，你真的能成爲聖騎士什麼的嗎？不、不，我一直覺得你有點奇怪，但你有可能是真的嗎？”

… She took off her helmet, and asked with a straight face.

……她摘下頭盔，板着臉問道。

0;… What is she even talking about?1;

（……她到底在說什麼？）
