Reincarnated Aristocrat Chapter 193: Battle

~3^rd Person Perspective~

　Enemy soldiers were approaching Charlotte and a small squad.

　The number of enemy soldiers was not very large, but it was still several times the number of Charlotte and her companions, who were much fewer.

　The difference in strength was too great to win in a proper fight.

　Charlotte prepares her small catalyst engine on hand.

　The large catalyst engine has already been prepared for the use of water magic.

　There was no way she was going to use this.

　The enemy had arrived on the other side of the river.

　Charlotte used her fire magic [Fire Bullet] on the enemy soldiers.

　The flaming bullets flew and exploded the moment they landed.

　The explosion was not as powerful as using a large catalyst engine, but it was quite powerful.

　Dozens of enemy soldiers were blown away.

　They must have seen a pretty bad scene right in front of them, but the enemy soldiers were not intimidated and came towards us.

　One after another, they entered the river.

　The river slowed down the speed of the enemy soldiers, allowing them to target them and reduce their numbers.

　However, they could not kill all of them, and some of them were able to cross.

　The soldiers who accompanied Charlotte were chosen for their abilities, so they were able to hold off the enemy soldiers who came after Charlotte, but as more and more enemies came ashore, they were at a disadvantage.

　If the battle turns into a melee, Charlotte will have a hard time using her magic because she might get her allies involved.

　She can shoot with less power, but even so, if she doesn’t control it properly, it will hit her allies, so she still has to be careful.

“No, this might be bad…” (Charlotte)

　Charlotte can also feel a sense of crisis in such a very tense situation.

　Charlotte’s own life or death is not just a matter Charlotte now considers.

　If she dies, it is sure to say that the Canale army will have no chance of winning.

　Charlotte thought she wasn’t afraid to die, but she was afraid that her death would put Ars in danger.

(I have to do something… but I can’t use my magic now…) (Charlotte)

　She tried to think of a way out of the situation, but Charlotte was not very good at using her head.

　She was in a hurry to decide what to do, and then the enemy came close to her.

“Charlotte-san!!” (Soldier)

　She chanted a quick incantation and shot a nearby soldier with her magic.

　Because it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, she didn’t adjust the power of the spell very well, and because it was too strong, she got caught in it and was blown away.

　She was not seriously injured, but her leg was bruised and she could not stand up right away.

　Even as Charlotte sat there, the enemy soldiers kept coming.

　She might really die this time.

　When she thought so,

“Oooooraaaa!” (Braham)

　A cry echoed on the battlefield.

　It seems that Braham arrived late with the reinforcements.

　Riding his horse, Braham quickly reached the enemy soldiers and wielded his halberd, slashing them to death.

　Normally he carries a spear, but when he was on horseback, he used a halberd.

　The soldiers who came with Braham also overwhelmed the enemy soldiers, as many of them were highly capable in the Canale army.

　Even with the arrival of reinforcements, the Canale side still had slightly fewer troops than the Canale side, but they outnumbered them in terms of the quality of their soldiers and gained the upper hand.

　Charlotte also used her fire magic and steadily burned the enemy soldiers to death.

　As a result, before they could be annihilated, the enemy soldiers decided to retreat and ran away.

　Charlotte, in the nick of time, was able to escape the crisis.

“Wahahahahahaha! Thanks to me, we won a complete victory!” (Braham)

　Braham comes with the reinforcements laughing boisterously.

“Uh, you’re Braham, right?” (Charlotte)

“That’s right. Thanks to me, you still own your life!” (Braham)

　Charlotte kicked Braham’s crotch with all her might.

“Huwaaaugh!?” (Braham)

　Suddenly, Braham crouches down, after receiving damage to a very vital and sensitive area.

“You were too late to come and reinforce. What were you doing?” (Charlotte)

　Charlotte, who didn’t often get angry, seemed unusually pissed off.

“Well… that… I think I was moving with a little more leeway… Well, I thought you’re still okay.” (Braham)

　Braham basically has a big ego, but he is pushed down by Charlotte’s will and shrank.

“Hmm. Well, I was saved. You fought hard, so I guess it’s okay.” (Charlotte)

“Th-thank you.” (Braham)

　Braham thanked her for some reason.

“Now, I’m no longer worried, and let’s take a break…” (Charlotte)

　Charlotte was mentally tired from the fight, so she wanted to sit down and take a break,

“Charlotte-san! I received orders from the main army!! You can now use water magic!!” (Soldier)
