"Sister Angelene, are you alright?"
Lucia said as she gathered the broken pieces of the exploded wooden wheel to her hand and headed off in the opposite direction.
"…Mn."
Angelene leaned on the ice pillar. As her bags had torn, she used her nun's cap and stuffed it with coins, wanting to fight on.
Normally, she would be unable to fight. Even on a real battlefield, she should retreat to the back. Even though Lucia got the escape ship spell from the leader of the Amakusa, the nuns wouldn't allow them to use it. Lucia was unable to carry the injured Angelene in order to get away from them.
Lucia placed the large wheel in front of her to scare the enemy.
Seeing her do this, the enemy's barricade backed away slightly. There were about 30 nuns, and considering that they were facing just one enemy, this may have been the most intense battle area. To attack the weaker side, and then slowly defeat everyone else one by one was their strategy. Lucia and Angelene were both clear about this.
(How do we get away from them?…)
As this group of nuns knew about Lucia's attack power, they didn't dare to approach her so easily. However, because this group of nuns knew how she attacked, Lucia couldn't bluff them into retreating.
"All personnel on ships 12, 17, and 19 are to retreat immediately. If you can make it, jump! Like the previous ships, we'll rebuild it after sinking it!!"
It was the audio broadcast that they were so used to.
At the same time,
"What a hassle! You shouldn't fight alongside the injured!!"
There was a wooden bridge linking here to the neighboring ship. The Amakusa members, with Tatemiya leading them, got onto the ship. The situation changed drastically. The circle surrounding Lucia's group was gradually breaking. The girl named Itsuwa was fighting alongside Lucia, using a Friuli spear like that the Navy uses.
If they wanted to change the situation, now was the time.
"Sister Angelene!"
"Ah…yes!"
Angelene shakily left the pillar. Lucia stood in front of her and exploded the wheel at the nuns, cutting a way out.
