Zachary in the preliminary round was clearly different from other knights.
Those who watched the virtual battle told everyone about him, so even those who hadn't even met him would feel a sense of crisis.
That was the case with Shuheil's soldiers. They were scared.
'That's understandable.'
It was early in the morning and our knights didn't even know that Zachary was getting deployed.
"Even the walls have ears."
Zachary said that.
I agree. In the society, it's no use watching out for other people outside the family. There's bound to be someone in the mansion that would gossip.
I was especially well aware about many rumors from Laura through the servants of other families.
Zachary, who came running with a horse, wielded a huge spear and knocked down Shuheil's knights which were surrounding the building.
"Be careful!"
He yelled at me. He broke through the window and suddenly carried me away.
I looked at him with a ridiculous look.
There is no reason to break the window and save me when nothing had happened. Zachary is clever, so there's no way he doesn't know how inefficient and dangerous this is.
I looked out to the window, as expected, new video stones were floating in the sky above the building where we were trapped.
'So this is...ah, he only wanted to look cool.'
I looked at him with cold eyes.
"If only we're here with Lea. You'll behave then. Now how are we going to get out!"
"There's a plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from far away and a scream broke out.
"Ahh-! It's a monster from Mount Redgus!"
Monster?
I looked at Zachary in surprise.
"Mount Redgus is not even inside the virtual battle zone. How did it go outside?"
"Of course, I got them inside."
"How?"
"I figured that it must've been starving. I've sprayed the monster's favorite pig and chicken blood over there."
"Isn't that against the rules...?"
"We didn't bring unauthorized items, and virtual battle rules allow us to use everything in the area, is there something wrong?"
...that's right.
"Most of all, who would object to us, when the Duke of Dubbled is our backing?"
I'm the one who had Duke Dubbled as my father, and Zachary took advantage of that.
I shook my head, as Zachary shouted out the window.
"Throw!"
Our soldiers threw something that looked like a ball at Shuheil's knights.
Every time a ball is burst, it smells bloody.
'It's chicken and pig blood!'
The monsters went after the bloody Shuhale, who fled in a hurry.
Zachary jumped over the window and headed leisurely towards our knights.
On the other hand, Shuheil had to run like crazy to avoid monsters, eventually, he was too tired.
