I Shall Survive Using Potions!

Huh (Kaoru + Roland)

Both Roland and Kaoru gave out a surprised voice.

Roland surprised because he Kaoru brought the 7 children.

Kaoru surprised because Roland weared equipments to go with the soldier as well.

Why did Kaoru bring children even though we are going to warzone? The youngest child, however you look at her, she is only about 7-8 years old!(Roland)

Why did the royal family coming along?(Kaoru)

Both side accuse each other as insane.

After a while we couldnt change each other opinion so we decided to leave as it was.

This party have totally 20 people: 7 children of Goddess eyes, King brother Roland, Female knight Francette, 8 royal guards and 2 carriage.

Kaoru had said to the children that you may be killed, but there werent such risk after all.Since theres a last resort when they found theirselve in a big problem.

When Kaoru asked cheated from Ceres and she didnt put conditions on her cheat abilities.

I thought that it would be nice to finish this war without using it, but I had taken all the safety measures in case of emergency.

However, it can be said so to thisunexpected event

Its hard to deal with the Royal family who accompanied me as well as other Royal guards. It will be bad when I use thatwhen there are royalty and nobility nearby that can see it.Because human desires have no limit.

However, there shouldnt be any problem with these people, I think.These Royal guards and chilren had sworn absolutely loyalty and I dont need to worry about leaking the secret. And this Royal family member is my partner in crime in the first place, know one more secret wont be a problem.

All of the royal guards, Roland, Francette were riding on house, Kaoru and the children were riding on the carriage.

Of course, not a luxurious horse-drawn carriage but a type called caravanthat is commonly mentioned.

One of two carriage was loaded with food, water , horseshoe leaves, supplies etc.

The carriage that Kaoru riding also loaded with water, food and everyone kept telling Kaoru in case of emergency, only Kaoru must escape while others are left to retain the enemy.Because other keep insisting, Kaoru say yes to pass it, while she doesnt intend to do so.

Initially, she was going to walk by herself, but right now Kaoru is frowns upon the party suddenly become a large group.

***

The day after leaving the capital, Kaorus party only passed through on city with big scale.From now on, there are only small village level in this direction.There is no point in making a big town in the direction of the Sacred country which is a small country without a remarkable product.

Kaoru will begin to act soon.

Kaorus party instructed the villagers in these small village that they were passing thorugh to temporarily evacuate with the minimum amount of personal belongings and all the food.

Since the villagers can return soon, they dont have any extra things, and Kaoru has the Royal Kings brother Roland guarantee to reimburse the villagers the best they can later. And the most important thing, we need to ask information on wells and water fields in the village and take notes.Kaoru counts with the expected date of arrival of the enemy army and the speed of rough advancing, tell villagers firmly what evacuation has to be done and heading for the next village.

Theres no citizen who doesnt know the name of the King Brother Roland and now he accompies with the infamous nameAngel like Kaoru,no one opposed.And after Kaoru giving potion to those who couldnt move because they were injured or sick, the speed of the evacuation of the villagers doubled.

***Six days after leaving the Kingdom***

Kaorus party arrived at a village located about two days to the enemy troops and ordered evacuation just like before.The only difference is that this time is an immediate evacuation with no time delay.

4 of the 8 royal guards and one caravan are left to help and surveillance the evacuation of the villagers.

The rest of the party are departing on foot. (T.N: they have caravan but it cant be use on sneaky mission)

Since there isnt much time left after this, Kaoru left the villagers evacuation to the 4 royal guards.

And then Kaoru asked Francette to go scouting. Meanwhile, Kaoru prepared everything to intercept the enemy.

During the next days progression, Francette came back as a scout while dressing like a village girl.Because she was the fastest and strongest among the royal guards while looked like a 15 years old girl, she can easily go and check the position of the enemy.

The enemies are about 2 hours travel distance from us, but if it is the traveling speed of the enemy army, it will be around 6 hours or so (Francette)

Yes, it took 2 hours for the Francette to come back and she moved at four times faster than the enemys advancement speed.

This village isnt a good place to fight with the enemies

Theres also a possibility that the enemys traveling speed is faster than we expected. So we will go to mountain place that Francette went through a while ago and intercept them there(Kaoru)

Nodded to Kaorus words, everyone went to the mountain.

From the highway, above the cliffs theres a poor mountain range.

From that place, the 14 people including Kaoru are watching the highway that entered the mountainous part where there were no trails from the highway that can climb to the top of this cliff.Children as part of living expenses earnings were strong and they followed without difficulty. At least, there was no one went behind Kaoru.Kaoru was able to safely arrive by drinking recovery potion many times, but her stomach had become stiff.

Its almost time (Kaoru)

While muttering so, Kaoru moved her gaze to her behind . There were suspicious items arranged there.

A lot of glass spheres as large as a fist.There are two kinds, red and white.

Also, there are a few bottles put on wood branches about 1 meter long attached with something like a net made of vine.This was made by the Royal guards with Kaorus instruction which make the glass sphere of glass flying farther than just throw (T.N: Catapult)

Here they came(Francette)

As expected of Francette, not only the physical fitness but also eyes are good.That potion, how far was it effective.

The turn point is already ahead. Please dont get nervous, just be careful not to get found by soldiers from the bottom(Kaoru)

13 people nodding silently with Kaorus words.

The enemy army gradually approaches, the armys front passes by just under Kaoru.

Kaoru intended to attack the enemy army.But it wasnt to the first unit.

The Arigo imperial army soldiers passing by one after another.

Ah(Roland)

Roland talks in a small voice.

Whats wrong?(Kaoru)

Kaoru asks back.

No, I think that these are a group of commanders, but they looks like a Priest or a Monk there(Roland)

When Kaoru looks at the direction that Roland points to, there are someone that look like priests but when looking at their clothes, they are mostly likely bishop classes, there are some monk whose have weapons and shields wearing simple clothes

Not only let the Empire army passing though and hiding the information but also direct participation

This is probably a call on the people of the Sacred country with the name of the Holy Pope and the great temples influence.

Are they planning to secure Kaoru in the confusation when the Imperial soldier attackting the Capital?(Roland)

In Roland s words, the children were expressing their anger.

A considerable amount of time has elapsed since the armys front passing through. The armys transport corps will be on sight soon. On the cliff, everyone was ready in place waiting for Kaorus signal.

And then Kaoru gave instructions.

Project white balls at the head and tail of the heavy forces!(Kaoru)

Everyone at both ends projected white glass bulbs using the tools they prepared.A big explosion that occurs with the white class bulbs landing.The heavy troop falling into a havoc.The front soldiers also look for the enemy figure with a fuss, but they wouldnt be able to find Kaorus party immediately that were on a cliff.

Red balls, continuous projection!(Kaoru)

Next, the red sphere that was projected spread fire as landing.

Not only the projection by the tool but also the hand throwing is used together and the red glass bulbs thrown one after the other, the wagons are wrapped in flames one after another.As long as the soldiers on foot, its difficult for a horse carriage to break through out of the way and theyalso couldnt move when they were blocked by holes and flames due to the explosion.

The projected white ball was packed with Something like Nitro Glycerinwhich reduced the detonation sensitivity for safety.Red balls are used for grease incendiary bullets,

The naphtha which was the main combustion material was filled with a jelly-like product by adding a thickener called a naphtha agent. It was designed to ignite spontaneously when exposed to air. The fire will not disappear even when water is applied.(T.N: Anyone know chemical please help me correct any mistake about this info, it was only MTL-ed)

After attacking the middle corps for a while, Kaoru gave our other instruction.

Start projecting white balls and red balls at the Battle troops at back, too!(Kaoru)

The Imperial Army finally noticed that it was an attack from the cliff, but everyone falls to the back immediately after throwing out the glass balls, they cant be attack by the bow and theres no trail to climb this part of the cliff.It was one-side attack from Kaorus party.

At the beginning we were only attacking the transport corps but gradually the center of attack gradually began to shift to the back of the main troops, soldiers are in a panic.

The soldiers receiving attacks started moving forward at full speed whilst yelling at the front soldiers to get out of the attack area.Front soldiers also notice the backward situation and start running at full power as well. ButIt isnt that fast because of their heavy equipment, the whole army desperately tried to get out of this dangerous mountain as soon as possible.

After a while they finally passed through the mountain and moved to the safe area, the Imperial Army finally noticed while watching the surroundings.

Transport corps hasnt arrived.

The soldiers turned back to see the situation, there were the remnants of a burned-out horse-drawn carriage and a blown-out cart and the survivors who were stunned.

The majority of food, water, manger, arrow, spare armor, camping equipment, and various other necessary items were lost.

At that time, Kaorus party already moved ahead avoiding the Imperial Army using the poor mountain path. They came back the village. They are faster than the movement speed of a heavily equipped soldier although there are a lot of girls in this party.Besides they will need to gather the remain supplies, having countermeasures meeting, etc.,

So the Imperial Army shouldnt move anytime soon today.We have all day long to prepare. Kaoru judged so.

Prepare yourself, I will give you all an invitation to hell.
