On the other side, after watching Cerydra and Esdeath enter the castle to find Numa Seika, Hysilens did not remain idle. Instead, she led the remaining people, preparing to deal a devastating blow to the nobles' army of sixty thousand.
"Lord Daughter of the Sea, isn't what we're doing a bit too impulsive?"
"Yeah, yeah, the gap in our numbers is just too large!"
After all, they were a hastily recruited army. Although they had combat capability, they were still far inferior to a regular army, and their numbers were at a complete disadvantage.
How could a ragtag army of less than a thousand win head-on against a regular army of over sixty thousand?
Unless a miracle happened, there was simply no possibility of winning!
It wasn't just the soldiers in the army; even the three captives from the Assassination Society thought so.
No matter how strong Hysilens's individual ability was, it was impossible for her to lead such an army to victory against sixty thousand elites, because even a powerful Teigu User would find it difficult to possess the strength to face ten thousand alone.
So the subordinates immediately lost heart upon seeing the situation on the battlefield, as no one felt they could win this battle.
If they charged down directly, the greater probability was being casually cut down by the enemy on the path of the charge.
"Very true." Hysilens nodded slightly. Since these soldiers could judge it, she, the Daughter of the Sea, could naturally judge it as well. "I already knew that you are no match for those regular armies."
"Since that's the case, let's just withdr—" Seeing Hysilens say such words, the soldiers' eyes lit up, and they immediately intended to persuade Hysilens to leave. However, his remaining words were directly cut off by Hysilens.
"So you all just stay here."
Ignoring the soldiers behind her, Hysilens directly summoned her two longswords, and the aura on her body became increasingly powerful.
This scene directly stunned everyone around, and even the three captives, including Meela, widened their eyes. As clever as they were, they guessed the opponent's thoughts the moment they saw Hysilens's movement of drawing her swords...
She really intended to challenge an army of sixty thousand by herself!
Is this realistic?
Cold sweat trickled down Meela's face as she began to recall many battles in history.
Whether before or after the birth of the Empire, most army confrontations were ten thousand against ten thousand. Even if a thousand could face ten thousand, that only happened when the numbers weren't that far apart.
Although the war situation changed significantly after the appearance of Teigu, where a powerful Teigu User could indeed face ten thousand alone, Hysilens...
She isn't a Teigu User!
After this period of observation, Meela could responsibly tell anyone her conclusion: Hysilens did not have a Teigu.
The reason she was powerful was purely due to her physical fitness and superb swordsmanship, which could be called ultimate numerical suppression.
To think there really was such an existence with a body different from ordinary people in this world? If it were her, maybe she really could do it?
Meela thought of many possibilities. Although very close to the truth, there was ultimately a deviation, because Hysilens had never shown her abilities as a Siren and an Ocean Demigod in front of them; she always relied on physical suppression.
What a joke!
Hysilens had been in this world for so long and hadn't met a single Teigu User, not even a decent opponent. How could she possibly bring out the true strength of an Ocean Demigod?
In the anime of 'akame ga kill', the reason there were so many Teigu Users was that the story took place in the Empire.
As soon as you leave the Empire's territory, you find that Teigu Users are actually surprisingly few. After all, there are only 48 Teigu in the world, most of which are within the Empire's borders. It's not normally difficult for the Northern Tribes to obtain such treasures.
So Hysilens moved!
Still without using any oceanic authority or the talents of a Siren, relying only on that powerful physical fitness, she leaped into mid-air, flying toward the distant battlefield like a cannonball, leaving only one final command...
"Everyone standby on the spot. I'm going to meet that so-called army of sixty thousand!"
—
On the battlefield, the shouts of the soldiers almost never ceased, but the difference was...
The noble army that came here to eliminate the prince let out excited roars, while the army protecting the prince could only emit desperate screams before death.
The situation was irreversible; their army of over a hundred thousand was actually being beaten back step by step by sixty thousand. Were they weak?
No! It was that the enemy was too strong!
When the old king was still alive, these nobles were all smiles, one after another pledging their loyalty to him. However, as the royal family declined, their true nature was finally exposed to everyone's eyes...
It turned out these guys had long been secretly cultivating an army to deal with the old king, just waiting for the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow!
And this army gathered together to attack the prince was specially trained; an ordinary army had absolutely no possibility of victory.
"Hahaha! As long as the mission is completed, after returning, I will be able to receive promotions and titles, and reach the pinnacle of my life!"
After a person who looked like an officer finished off an enemy with his long spear, he quickly shifted his gaze, wanting to find the next target in the vicinity. It wasn't just him; almost everyone in the noble army held such thoughts.
As long as we kill Numa Seika, wealth and glory will be ours in abundance!
Boom—! The sound of wind breaking came from afar. No one paid any attention to it; after all, they were all locked in combat, and it was possible they couldn't hear anything slightly further away.
Boom, boom, boom—! But the sound of wind breaking did not disappear; instead, it grew louder as time passed, until a blue meteor descended from the sky. Only then did everyone present stop their movements and look at the figure appearing faintly within the smoke and dust.
"A woman?"
When Hysilens's figure appeared before everyone, they were all stunned. They hadn't expected the one who caused such a commotion to be a woman who looked so frail.
"Yo, little lady, you want to..." Whoosh—!
Before the voice had even faded, Hysilens's body vanished from where she stood, appearing behind the man in an instant.
Thump! A pitch-black object fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Although it was impossible to see clearly because of the night, everyone could guess... it was a head!
Hysilens flourished her sword, her expressionless eyes sweeping over all the noble army troops present.
"One killed..."
"Five hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine remaining!"
As the calm voice was spoken from the young girl's mouth, her kill count began to increase at a rapid speed, quickly surpassing the ten-thousand mark and heading straight for sixty thousand.
As a ray of morning sunlight streaked across the horizon, a vivid red filled the entire battlefield, and even the original snow-covered ground became as dazzling as rubies.
Whether it was the army protecting the prince, or the ragtag troops and Assassin captives that Cerydra had brought over earlier, everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
The young girl stood in the middle of the battlefield composed of blood and solid ice, with the newly risen sun above her head and tens of thousands of corpses beneath her feet...
The "Kill 60,000" achievement was completely obtained by Hysilens at this moment, and her name would likely spread throughout the world from this moment on, right?
