Except for the zoan, ere entrusted with the pursuit, theThe pursuit effort naturally slowed down as all the soldiers who had been late in escaping were defeated

Those who stopped on the spot looked at each other for a brief h breathing was loudly audible, without any words spoken

It was as if they were inside an illusion or a drea that it would pop and vanish once they said so

“Did in?”

A ti tiins to speak one after the other

“We won, right?”

“Really? Did we really win?”

“It's not a drea of their own victory washes over them, passion fills their voices

“We won!”

“Yeah, we did it!”

“It's our victory!!”

At that hted, de their fists into the air, sto the person next to the them, Shyemul's body also trembled in rapture and she shouted,

“You did it, So less fro to her voice, Souil's back, breathes out in relief

He thought that he has to respond to Shyemul, but rather than the happiness over the victory in battle, the fatigue and physical weariness now that it had finally ended won out

All power left Sou his body was suddenly cut, he ended up falling to the ground, landing on his butt

Placing his hands at both sides of Souil easily lifted him up And then he puts the surprised Sou hiil's intention, threw her arms up in the air and yelled out loudly,

“Praise Soave us this victory!”

Upon Shyemul's words, everyone suddenly stares at Souma And then, after one heartbeat, they raise the as-of-yet biggest cheering

“”Soma! Soiving free rein to a wild enthusiasm

However, contrary to their enthusiasive theratulations for a victory is an i so, Jahangil tilts his head to the side in confusion

“What are you doing? Hurry up and reply to everyone”

“L-Let ing only panicked Souil, who started to think that the flustered state of Souma is awfully suspicious, suddenly felt the area about his nape getting wet

“…! Don't tellred in shail's words

“I-I' a battle from close-by for the first ti fear

But even Souil's face – a dinosaurian's face which is usually difficult to read for a hue abruptly

“That's why I told you to quickly letbecause of his excessive feelings of rehtly with the shape of へ

“What's wrong, Soe of the two, she asks Sou up at him Due to that Souma's face dyes red in shame, and he only flaps his hands in panic, unable to answer

After looking in alternation at Shye her head to the side in curiosity, and Souhing

“Stay like this until it dries”

Seeil's words, Souht that he would surely be thrown onto the ground out of anger, Sou what to answer

Due to Souil said with bitterness,

“It can't be helped It often happens on one's first cail said this, Souil has as well…?”

“D-Don't be stupid! There's no way forlike that!”

Then, afterunder his breath, he whispered,

“It was just a bit, really just a little bit…!”

Souil becomes flustered due to that

“No! It's only an example! — Rather than that, hurry up and reply to everyone!”

Being pestered by Jahangil, Souht hand timidly

As reaction cheers full of passion erupt

The zoan, the dwarves, the dinosaurians, the elves and the harpyians, all of them had joyful faces and repeated Souma's name passionately

“”Soma! Soma! Soma!!””

Souht hand with his cheeks dyed red – not in sha hot wells up within the chest of Shyee like that while squinting her eyes as if watching the bright sun

The hueon, has reached the point of being adardless of their race Just who could have ihed it off if she had been told such a story in that dungeon

But, if it's now, she can believe in it

I'end, yearned after by everyone

That conviction took hold inside Shyemul

But just in that ot carried away in all the exciteil's shoulder Shyemul was scared to death because of that, but Souma irin while sticking out his tongue a bit, as if glossing over his blunder

Shyeed her shoulders at that with an air of relief

‘Geez, my 「Navel Master」 is somewhat careless and troublesome I siood withoutwith herself in such , Shyeh as to not lose out against the cheers Shye her voice as well,

“So at you, you are totally unreliable You are useless without htly, obviously surprised, and then showed an i me then, okay?”

Due to this unexpected rebuttal of Souma, it's now Shyemul's turn to stare in wonder After a shortseizure and ends up laughing out loud

“Good grief, you are really sohter, Sou two playing the central part, the cheers celebrating the victory continued without showing any indication of co to an end anytime soon

“Well, I never! For him to have really ith that General Darius as an opponent…”

Standing atop the wall of Bolnis and gazing at the battlefield, Marchronis muttered while partly dumbfounded

In addition to the speech that fascinated people of various races, So outside the norm that can't be seized by co hi more than a possibility In reality, the chance for success probably wasn't even 1 in 10,000

However, once you look at the results, he overturned a difference in coer than expected, and really came out victorious

If you can't call that a miracle, I don't knohat else you could call that

“I-I' like that General Darius losing…!”

Setius, standing next to Marchronis, said that as if he were spitting out ‘In the end it looks like a soldier, who served Holrips with General Darius' defeat

However, even though those words were filled with a substantial a, there was some truth to them

In the future, Souma, who heard General Darius' prediction before the battle fro words behind:

“That time's plan was a desperate measure taken under the pressure of necessity as ere outnu amble And by chance it actually paid off If the punitive force's nuhtest ahtlyto General Darius' prediction”

Obviously clear from these words, Souma knew better than anyone else that the victory in this battle, which was afterwards called 「Decisive Battle of Bolnis」, ed to a huge amount of luck

But, despite that Marchronis declares,

“It ht have been a fluke, but a win is a win”

There's no point in denying the result of soues veheain! A new punitive force will be dispatched iuys will lose this tiather that new punitive force?”

“There's still a national ar in Holether all the feudal lords, that nurow even further – so much that people like them won't be worth any htly

“The majority of Holmea's army has been deployed in the eastern half of the country for the sake of holding Romania in check They can't be moved unless the relation with Romania improves”

The result of this battle will probably reach Rouardian deity of Holht invite an invasion by Romania, which had been thwarted by his authority until now

If you consider it like that, it's an even bigger loss for Hol the defense of its eastern flank
