I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 53
an unexpected confluence
Her body is wrapped in armor, her blonde hair neatly tied up, and she's wearing a simple helmet, but there's no way she's not recognizing her.
No, on the contrary, Julius was much more used to seeing himself on a battlefield like this.
“Beatrice!”
“Protect Your Highness the Prince!”
The knights who rode their horses at her command surrounded him with impunity.
But the assassins and shadows are tenacious.
visor!
She squeezed between the knights again and grabbed the assassin's sword that had been secretly extended.
“Top right.”
Cheng Kang!
Smack!
Julius' sword breaks the assassin's sword and blows off his neck at once.
“Thank you!”
Beatrice goes back to him. If an unmanned person above a certain level blocks his back, there is no way that those specializing in assassination or group warfare will be able to exert their power.
Although he was slightly worried about her, Julius, who momentarily checked the stat window, was rather surprised.
[Beatrice Dios]
Occupation: Senior Knight, Force Master
Muscular B+ Agility A+ Intellect A Mental A Force Aptitude S+ Force A

[characteristic]
Swordsmanship (S)
Dual Core - A circle with two auxiliary rings that help circulate the force. You receive an additional bonus in all aspects of controlling the Force.
'If you look at the ability of simple stats, I'd believe that he's a superman.'
Julius stuck his tongue out inwardly. Although he knew that his talent was outstanding, Beatrice did not neglect her training.
'There are things to say to each other, but first we have to deal with these guys.'
In fact, the war situation is already in a state of perseverance. Besides the fact that this many knights were recruited, the decisive factor was Beatrice's participation in the war!
Just like how Julius was momentarily taken aback by her appearance, she was also a little taken aback when they faced him.
'His Highness and I have never worked hand-to-hand in actual combat, so why are we in such good harmony?'
'It's probably because I got too much help from you in my previous life.'
Julius also smiled bitterly inwardly.
His sword raised the sword of shadow, creating a gap, and Beatrice's sword pierced her neck.
At the same time, the half moon of the assassin aiming at her is also blocked at exquisite timing, as if Julius had predicted it.
Coincidentally, Julius is reluctant to expose his power, so he only shows skills that are halfway between a master class and a superman.
'It feels like I went back to my previous life.'
Although the two of them are of very different ages and battle situations, it has been a long time since they fought back to back like this.
It was her first time, but Julius already had a history of working together like this dozens or hundreds of times.
If an excellent martial artist goes well with breathing, the effect is great. Right now, even with the shadow of the Archduke, the individual's military strength is not comparable to that of a superman, but isn't it enough to stop a superman for a while if they unite?
Even the special assassins and shadows dispatched to assassinate superhumans cannot afford to be outnumbered when they are outnumbered.
“All shadows retreat”
Dmitri eventually has no choice but to decide to retreat while shedding bloody tears. Another shadow squad has already been annihilated. Three of the four squads entrusted to him by the Archduke were blown up due to his mistake in judgment.
'At the very least, we must report to His Highness the Grand Duke about the First Prince.'
The strength of Julius that Dmitri looked at was at least master level or higher. He went far beyond what the Archduke assumed.
In fact, at least that much luck this time (?) I expected that things would go smoothly because the strange men were pincers with the prince, but I didn't think that reinforcements from the capital would arrive so quickly.
'… … .'
The surviving two of the four high-class assassins dispatched by the church also wink at each other. The assassination has already crossed the water.
'At least one person has to return and report to the priest.'
One of the assassins disappears like a ghost, drowned in the noise of the battlefield.
Julius felt the presence and clicked his tongue.
'I'll definitely have to search for their corpses later.'
They are more cautious than you think. In my previous life, Beatrice, a superhuman, was always by my side, so I wouldn't have let the ragtags go, but now I would have thought that she would send such talented people to her second raid.
'Perhaps it will be impossible to completely hide the skill from the third raid onwards.'
Their potential is not all that. In his previous life, he had been in great danger several times because of an assassination.
Anyway, the battlefield where all the dark forces retreated was cleared up so easily. Nuada had finally captured Gundar.
“Your warchief has been captured here!!”
As his declaration reverberates across the battlefield, most of the tribes lower their weapons and express their intention to surrender.
Took!
“I will surrender.”
The number of warriors was outnumbered, and the trusted strangers and warchiefs were either captured or fled. In the first place, the main force of this charge did not give them confidence.
“Although our side has lost a lot of power, we have a chance of winning if we can mobilize all our warriors and capture the other side’s key figures and negotiate!”
That was the reason Gundar set out to convince them. Although their forces are draining, they are still superior in numbers, and the unknown strangers brought by the warchief are also with them.
The tribes at the foot of the mountain range have some knowledge of the Gentiles. Gundar's plan to bring the Empire to the negotiating table is a success if he captures Julius, who is as big as a prince.
However, even on Gundar's side, those with a little brain were skeptical from the beginning.
'The number of warriors on our side has decreased a lot, and there are two great warriors on the other side. Is that really possible?'
It was for this reason that they surrendered so easily, even though Gundar's side still prevailed in the general forces.
“Your Highness, are you all right?”
Marquis Andersson runs over and checks on his safety.
“There are many wounds. I'm glad you weren't seriously injured.”
“What can happen with a wound like this? The Marquis really had a hard time dealing with them. They are nasty bastards.”
"I'll have to think more about them later."
The Marquis also has a worried expression. Putting aside stopping him, this time he was aiming for the death of the prince, Julius, which must have been the work of an outside force.
“By the way, what about this article here?”
Only then did the Marquis look at Beatrice, who was standing next to Julius, and put on a puzzled expression.
She salutes the Marquis by raising her sword.
“It is an honor to meet Marquis Marquis Andersson. My name is Beatrice Dios, who will be in command of the knights dispatched from the capital this time.”
“Dios?”
The Marquis is saluted with a puzzled expression. Female knights on the battlefield are actually quite rare. I would have thought that the name of a prestigious samurai family in the Holy Land would appear there.
“Your Highness seems to be acquainted with her.”
“Actually, I don’t even know the English language.”
How could she, who should be in the Holy Land, come here as a reinforcement for the Imperial Army? Julius also had no way of knowing why.
Beatrice opened her mouth with a calm expression whether they did or not.
“First of all, my status is the Temporary Knight Commander of the Support Forces. A detailed explanation will be provided later. It looks like there are a lot of things to organize on the battlefield right now.”
“Obviously, rectifying the battlefield is the priority.”
His desire to hear from her right away is like a chimney, but Julius puts his thoughts aside for now.
Nuada is currently clearing out immigrants who surrendered or fled. Letting it be his job to take care of the northern tribes, the Marquis and Julius must check the knights and troops.
After a while, the Marquis, who inspected the damage, sighed in relief.
“Except for a little bit of sacrifice from the knights, it’s a great victory.”
"It's because you generously threw your body to protect me. My mistake is big.”
“How could that be the fault of His Highness?”
The knight squad escorting Julius suffered considerable damage while blocking the last outburst of the shadows and the assassin.
Perhaps if Beatrice hadn't come to support in a timely manner, Julius would have had to use all his money to protect them.
It was because there were many knights who had gone deep into the northern mountains like him.
'It's a relief that the Archduke's subordinates quickly retreated and that didn't happen.'
Julius rubbed his chest inwardly. And stares at her with her grateful eyes.
“Anyway, thank you very much. Rize, if it weren't for you, the sacrifices of the knights to defeat them this time would have been greater.”
“… … ?”
Of course she can't know that. Her opponents' skills were great, but if he knew the skills of Julius, she would have been able to deal with them even without her.
But she also has a sense. Aware of his intentions, she responds humbly.
“I just did what I was supposed to do. Thank you for giving such undeserved congratulations to a single knight.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Nuada was also tying Gundar and leading him away.
In fact, I wanted to smash my head right away when I thought of the crime of driving the entire mountain range to war because of my own greed, even though I had no ability, but I have many questions to ask him.
But the result doesn't look very good.
“I know nothing of the details about them.”
Gundar is a greedy little man. He says that if you spit out helpful information, you will save your life.
'It's obvious that an unknown force is taking advantage of them, so what is the level of a person who doesn't even prepare for being abandoned?'
Although he expected it, Julius sighed. The Grand Duke is also a prudent person. The items they used, their actions, their words, everything is jumbled up.
'At least there's no evidence to conclude that it's an internal force?'
In the end, Gundar's fate was clear.
Fuck!
In front of all the chieftains who surrendered, his head was crumbled without a shape by Nuada's fists.
Julius feels a little sympathy for him for being taken advantage of, but it's his fault anyway.
'If he hadn't been greedy for nothing, things in the north would have been much easier.
But that doesn't mean that nothing has been gained. Rather, looking at the results alone, Julius would not be enough even if he held his hand and thanked him.
'Thanks to that, I'm sure I'll be able to capture the public sentiment in the north as well as take back the military that I didn't even have.'
Originally, his purpose was to captivate the people of the north and form an alliance with Nuada. However, Gundar's widening of the war led him to add to that his military achievements.
The protagonist who led the Northern War to victory!
This reputation will bring great benefits to his future career.
'There were too many unexpected situations, but the results are good, so I'm glad anyway.'
'Oh!'
There, he recalls a fact buried in his head for a while.
'Come to think of it, how did Beatrice, who should be in the Holy Kingdom, come as a reinforcement?'
