Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter Chapter 239

War

Eastern part of the territory of Almeria's Duke .

Normally it is a vibrant port city, but now the air is heavy and depressing .

Assault of the guard's posts and offices are a sight everywhere at the port .

And the occupation of the port by armed groups, occurred just after that .

The city lost all life as people's fear keep rising . . .

"Dida! The injury rate of the first team exceeded 30%"

Among them, were the ones that received instructions from the general, Iris grandfather, on how to confront an armed group that attacks a port .
What really surprised me was not the situation, but the identity of the enemies .

The armed group was wearing the uniform of . . . . the acacia kingdom .

What the princess most feared is spreading in front of me as reality .

. . . . . . While looking for clues about the attack, there were some bad premonitions, but not a definite answer, however the reality was harsher than predicted .

I do not really know what's going to happen . . . . I murmur as I try hard to breath, cold sweating running inside .

The enemy began to move when the sun rose, attacking the front of the city .

With their numbers, we have a huge disadvantage . . .

The eastern part of the territory has developed a long time ago, and there are many secret entries to the city, it's a very complicated battle .

Because the main roads were destroyed, the number of enemies who can go forward at the same time to attack are limited .

We deployed our troops by using the topography, and we kept on defending .

. . . . . . However, although there is nothing wrong with only defense . . . . The alarms kept coming . .

"Dida! The injury rate of the first team exceeded 30%"

"Let team one rest soon, instead send those of the second team, change quickly, do not show a gap to the enemy"

Although the tone is the same light tone as usual, but inside, his heart is occupied with anxiety and a feeling of frustration .

Although seriously injured people are still only a few, but the injury rate increases as time passes .

More than anything, everyone is deadly tired .

There were many people who had never fought in a complicated battlefield as the present, and the tension caused the tiredness to be even bigger .

How many days will we be able to keep this city safe if this continues this way . . . ?

Once this line of defense is broken, they'll turn to attack the capital .

But nothing will come out of this and we're losing . There are not enough facilities or buildings that could endure attacks from an army .

Even so, deep inside I know that we must persevere, because if we lose this city . . . the princess heart will be hurt .

I can not forgive such a thing .

Looking around while scratching my head .

Just a little, I'd want to get out of the current predicament instead of falling into negative thinking .

Suddenly, a group of men appear in my eyes .

They were heading for the medical area carrying the injured in their backs .

"Hey, who are those guys, that's not our party?"

They're not wearing the security corps clothing .

Normally . . . . . . dressed like that out of the city would be okay .

But since the group runs on the battlefield, the feeling they give is entirely different .

"Ha . . . . . . A group of volunteers of those living in this area"

" . . . . . . What? Hey, you guys! Instantly evacuate! As you can see, here is dangerous, this is the middle of a battlefield, get out of here . "

I cried, approaching them .

The residents tremble at my cry and the body becomes stiff for a moment .

But, they recovered quickly .

"Even though you say that here is dangerous, I guess we can't ignore the situation of our place!"

"This is our city! If we can't fight, but let me at least let us do chores!"

The men screamed .

For a moment I got a chunk of words stuck on my throat .

"Please do not stand in the battlefield, carry the injured person soon! That person needs urgent treatment, go over there!"

At such time, a woman ran from behind .

She looks at the injured person carried by the men and instructs where to place him .

"Hey . . . This place is not suitable for a woman to be in . . "

Although I was watching over that situation stupidly, I recovered myself and caught her hand at time .

"What? Are you asleep Sir?, Why are you borrowing this Miss hand!"

She glares at me and sent a kick flying to my stomach .

"I am learning medicine in the capital, my knowledge is absolutely useful, please don't think of me as some weak woman!"

I swallowed my words impressed by her feelings .

However, when thinking that, the stopped enemies started to move to again, my laughter came up during this situation .

In the meantime, she kept on giving instructions as if not seeing the enemies moving .

"That's right, here there's neither men nor women just soldiers . "

I mutter .

In my head all thoughts were regarding the princess left in the capital, and Tanya . . .

That's right, I should have known . . .  

They are all struggling to find their way .

It is stupid to judge by saying "Because it is a man" or "Because it is a woman" . . their achievements and all the things they endured to reach their goals, their efforts, is what really matters .

Yes, That's right . .

Even now, it seems that my wisdom hasn't left me .

. . . . . . Actually, this place is where the princess first started to create the current Duke's territory .

"Hey you, you . . . it was bad enough already to ignore my command, and now you're laughing?, do you take your life as a joke?"

To my words, she smiled faintly for a moment .

"You look like a lady when you smile"

That smile is very similar to the princess . . .

" . . . Really???! I want to be like Iris!"

She seems to have heard my muttering and her eyes became bright .

"Because when Iris came here before, he taught me about medicine and that's why I can help you here at the moment . I sincerely admire Iris who gave me a chance to grow and sincerely admire her as I admire those who stand above us, are good to us and work to improve the land, I like that person, I think that I would like to be active member in a society lead by that person . "

She said so with a soft smile .

From her eyes and from the atmosphere . . . It seemed that her emotions were overflowing from her whole body .

"I am sorry, I spoke unnecessarily, I will excuse myself"

At the next moment, once again she returned to her serious look and ran through the medical area .

Seeing those eyes . . I laughed in spite of myself .

. . . . . . Really, they are very similar . . . and .

"Oh . . . . . . !"

She snapped her own token with all her might .

"Let's change the first row of doctors frequently! And I'd like you to cooperate a bit . "

While giving instructions to the guards, she turned to the volunteer members and call out to them .

"What is that?"

"I'd like some of you guys to make this kind of thing . "

She drew a simple and easy figure on the ground with a stick .

We looked at what she wrote and gave a uniform response .

"I think we can do it, but . . . is this okay?"

"It's usable, and very convenient"

" . . . Hey, you should procure a token to call others! You guys, pick up the tools! Collect stones from over there . "

Nothing further asked, they instantly began to move according to my instructions .
