บท 55: Second Battle [2]

Catherine slightly lowered her head and whispered softly in Carl's ear.

"Since this is a battle between wooden fences, there is no need for Lord Carl to participate in the battle like yesterday. It is enough to just show his soldiers that Lord Carl is here and keep his place."

Carl shook his head slightly at Catherine's words.

"It is efficient for me, who recovers quickly, to keep moving. It will help morale, and from a practical standpoint, it's better than nothing."

Catherine seemed to have nothing to say in response to Carl's calm words. Carl smiled slightly and said to her.

"Thank you for your concern. But I came to lead the punitive force and subdue the gnolls, not to have fun and be protected."

"…Sorry. I said something presumptuous."

"No, you are right to be concerned. I will be careful not to put myself in a dangerous situation."
