I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree-Chapter 9 - Reinforcements Arrive (1/3)
“Ahem,” In the end, Orson was the first to surrender, he directly stood up from between the two.
After all, if he didn’t stand up now, Little Orson would stand up.
Without Orson’s support, Olivia and Litte ended up leaning against each other.
After a brief moment of astonishment, the two quickly distanced themselves from each other.
They didn’t want to be that close to each other at all.
Although Olivia didn’t know Litte’s true gender, she had already defined him as a boy who liked boys, posing no threat to her. But for a brief moment just now, she still instinctively felt a hint of repulsion.
It was psychological repulsion.
No matter how effeminate or how much like a girl the other party acted normally, he was still Orson’s younger brother, a bona fide boy.
Olivia thought this.
On Litte’s side, her reaction was slightly less extreme.
After all, she knew they were both girls and nothing would happen. But the current situation made the somewhat proud Litte unwilling to admit defeat. She could only pretend to be disgusted by Olivia.
“I say, you two, can you please behave a little more normally,” Orson said, rubbing his forehead, then looked at Olivia.
“Alright, Olivia, you go back to the academy for now. I’m just about to give orders to the academy’s troops.”
“Eh? We just reunited less than half an hour ago, and you’re already chasing me away, Orson?”
Olivia said this, looking at Orson with a resentful expression.
Orson couldn’t bear this look and quickly turned his head away. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“I can’t help it... the front lines are important. When we get back to school... we can talk more then.”
“Alright, I understand~” Olivia said this, unwilling to cause Orson any trouble. She stood up and walked past Orson.
A fragrant breeze wafted past as Olivia’s figure exited the room.
At this moment, Orson’s pounding heart slowly returned to normal.
He looked at Litte and sighed helplessly.
“Litte, Olivia doesn’t know your true gender. You should probably be less intimate with her in the future. Otherwise, our relationship could easily be misunderstood by her, and I don’t want to be misunderstood by Olivia either.”
“Okay, I understand,” Litte nodded, her head drooping, seeing Orson say this.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with her older brother’s partiality towards Olivia, she forgave Orson considering that he had sent Olivia away, leaving them alone.
Indeed, Orson still liked her a little more.
Thinking this, Litte instantly felt like she had won again.
Of course, compared to Olivia, the master of romance who always knew how to maintain the right distance between men and women, Litte’s victory was merely superficial.
The reason Olivia left was not to burden Orson, to prevent Orson from feeling tired when spending time with her. This way, no matter how much Litte threw tantrums and fussed, the ultimate winner would still be Olivia.
Unless Litte could somehow make a move on Orson.
But that was even more unlikely.
“Alright, we should probably go,” Orson said.
“Eh? Go? Where?”
“To the front lines, of course.”
“We’re finally going to the front lines?” Litte showed a delighted expression upon hearing this.
She had been studying military strategy by Orson’s side for so many days, and finally, she had a chance to put it into practice. How could she not be happy?
“After all, most of the people have arrived. If we don’t leave now, the soldiers on the front lines will have shed their blood for nothing,” Orson said this, smiling.
That day, the troop of over fifty thousand stationed around Phenix City advanced eastward and merged with the troops that had been pursuing the beastmen in the valley earlier, totaling approximately eighty thousand. They continued to advance eastward, simultaneously recapturing lost territory and closing the distance with the main beastman force.
...
Another two days passed. Balu’s troops had nearly ten thousand incapacitated soldiers under the walls of Tralava City.
No one expected that a small city like Tralava would have such a large number of human soldiers, who were not only extremely capable fighters but also possessed strong fighting will.
Even though the beastmen’s troops had completely surrounded Tralava City, leaving the human army with no hope of reinforcements, there was surprisingly no sign of low morale or desertion.
However, the more they were surrounded, the more it would ignite the fighting spirit of the defenders, making them fight with their backs against the wall.
“My army has suffered quite heavy losses during these two days of attacking the city,” Balu said, glancing at the other chieftains below. “However, fortunately, the enemy’s troops on the city walls also seem to be decreasing.”
“Therefore, my idea is that today will be the last day. We will attack the city from all four sides and capture Tralava City in one fell swoop. Of course, everyone must also send troops.”
“Oh? If I recall correctly, Chieftain Balu, you still have over forty thousand men, right? Isn’t that enough for the attack?” Swin said this, looking at Balu.
“...” Balu frowned upon hearing this.
Then, Tak also stood up.
“Chieftain Balu, the reason we obey your orders is because we believe you can lead us to greater gains, not to have our warriors die here in vain like this.”
“We have already lost troops while covering the safe retreat of your army. It wouldn’t be appropriate to do this now, would it?”
“My forces have also suffered considerable losses in the siege,” Balu stated. “Are ten thousand well-trained beastman warriors not enough to show you my sincerity?”
“Heh, apologies. You haven’t lost enough men yet, useless trash. You can’t even die properly,” Swin said this, shaking his head.
“...” Balu’s arm veins bulged with anger upon hearing this. Subsequently, he took off the battle axe from his waist and threw it out directly.
Swin’s strength was at Tier 7, but under Balu’s strike, he had no time to react and was decapitated just like that.
The chieftains present, witnessing Swin’s gruesome state, were terrified out of their wits. They looked in Balu’s direction in panic.
