Volume 5 - Ch 83
Shia, cover me until the preparation is done!
Roger that!
Following Lyss order, Shia prepared the AK47 and shot at the dragoons that had recovered from the shock and started coming again.
Meanwhile, Lyss was nimbly changing the barrel and box magazine.
The gun barrel needed to be exchanged after firing 200-300 shots, but that number also depended on the gun size and caliber.
Lyss gripped the handle attached to the barrel the carrying handle, and exchanged it for a new one.
One doesn't throw away the steaming barrels after exchanging them.
After several exchanges, the first heated barrel would have cooled and could be used again.
However, in Lyss' case, she could throw them away in the worst case scenario.
The reason was, because of her [Spirit Blessing] [Infinite Storage], it was possible to prepare several barrels and put them there.
"Preparation complete! Shia, fall back!"
"Understood!"
After exchanging the barrel and box magazine, Lyss once again switched places with Shia.
She pointed the muzzle at the incoming dragoons and squeezed the trigger!
BABABABABABABABABANG!
Once again, 7.6254mmR rounds were discharged like a storm, mowing down the flocking dragoons.
[GAGYAAA!! GYAAAAA GYAAAAA!!]
As if it was a repeat of the earlier scene, the dragoons collapsed and the knights cheered from behind.
However, on this second PKM General-purpose Machine Gun firing, Lyss' feelings turned from suspicion into conviction.
(At this rate, we will lose to the dragoons in an attrition contest and be broken through.)
The machine gun was a very powerful weapon.
It was written in a book in Lute's previous life, that three soldiers with one machine gun can hold back a battalion (about 1000 men) of warriors.
However, no matter how powerful a weapon the machine gun was, it was meaningless if it couldnt be used in a way that exhibited its abilities.
Right now she was mowing down the attacking dragoons from the front with the machine gun, but that didn't mean that every enemy was hit by a bullet.
There would be a few that slipped in between and survived.
To defeat them, she would have to fire more bullets, but that would be bad for efficiency.
Normally, when defending an encamped position like this, one wouldn't fire the machine gun straight from the front, but from slightly to the side lining up the enemy and shooting at them from the side.
The machine gun positioned to shoot the enemies from the side was called side fire extinguisher.
Well then, how did you line them up and shoot from the side, you ask?
Just set up barbed wired in front of the allies position beforehand.
In this case, you wouldnt place the barbed wired in a straight line, but in a zigzag like a saws blade.
Once the enemies charged, in they would be positioned like the V letter along the barbed wire.
By placing the machine gun right on the flank of the lined up enemies and shooting away, you could take down the enemies with great efficiency.
The dragoons were stupid and only charged in a straight line, so it was fine for now.
However, no matter how stupid they were, once they realized the situation, they would use their kins corpses as a shield and go around the barbwire fence.
Lyss gave panicked orders.
Let the soldiers deal with the dragoons that go around the fence! And absolutely do not stand in front of me! Also know that there are powerless, innocent people sleeping behind your back that you need to protect!
Roger!
Hi, hime-sama...Im okay, so please run away...
Shia, dont talk. Ill heal the wound right now!
Shias wound completely healed, but she had already lost consciousness due to the impact.
The timing couldnt have been any worse
Oi, look! Two more basilisks came out from the barrier stone!
Just like the soldiers had pointed out, two basilisks showed up from under the destroyed barrier stone.
One of them didnt pay the battlefield below any mind and headed straight to the town outside of the lake.
More dragoons also crawled out from the barrier stone.
As expected, the soldiers morale would drop after seeing that.
However, there was still one person who hadnt abandoned hope.
It was Lyss.
She stared at the approaching dragoons while still holding the unconscious Shia in her arms.
Lute-san and everyone will definitely... my comrades will definitely come to help me. Even though Im clumsy, unskillful, always pulling everyone downbut even so, I am still High Elf Kingdom Enols second princess, Lyss Enol Mema, and I will defend this place to my last breath!
At the same time as she shouted, the head of the basilisk dancing in the sky exploded from the inside!
[!!!???]
The basilisk lost its strength and was pulled down to the ground by gravity.
Everyone there still didnt understand what had happened, and there was only shock.
Onee-chaaaaan!
A shout came from the sky.
When everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, they saw an approaching airship that had appeared out of nowhere.
The owner of that voice was the one who should have been kidnapped, the third princess of High Elf Kingdom Enol, Luna Enol Mema. She was waving her hand energetically.
Luna wasnt the only one on the ship; Chrisse, Snow, Meiya, saberwolf Lexy, and Lute were present.
Lyss was so relieved that her tears started rolling naturally.
While wiping the tears on her cheeks, she unconsciously murmured in a lovely voice.
"I believed in you my hero."
TL note: no idea what could this be, maybe dannasama ?

Authors Notes :
The soldiers that got killed in chapter 81 werent high elves, just elves, dark elves, and magicians from other races. Sorry for the hard to understand wording. In the first place, high elves dont work, theyre like nobles.
Well then, mata ashita yoroshiku onegaishimasu.
