[Vow of Black Rose] had an air as if we were going to destroy the enemy’s vanguard and break through their defences .
If this was to happen in my original world instead of this one, it could happen .
Our troop from [Vow of Black Rose] lead by three ojisans had such a huge momentum .
But it wasn’t my original world .
Unfortunately for us, this world has something unreasonable .
That’s right, the magic-swordsmen .
“Haha!! Oh!? What’s wrong with you guys!?”
“Ora! Ora! Ora!! What!? You stopped my spear!?”
“Whoop! Oh! I’m getting suppressed!?”
The magic-swordsmen that were positioned in front of the 3 ojisans completely killed our momentum .
Ordinary people couldn’t possibly win against magic-swordsmen . This was the common sense known to everyone here . Only magic-swordsmen could fight against each other .
However, it was unfortunate that there was no magic-swordsmen in the feint team . Magic-swordsmen were all assigned to the secret team .
After the leading 3 were stopped, everyone soon followed in their footsteps .
The momentum of the [Vow of Black Rose] was completely stopped in it’s tracks .
For a troop consisting of laymen like us, there would be only one ending if our momentum disappeared .
“Besiege and destroy them!!”
The commander of the enemy soldiers gave an order, his voice resounded through the battlefield . Slaughter was about to begin .
The enemy soldiers, divided into left and right side, marched to surround the [Vow of Black Rose] that went deep into the square .
To come straight to the point, this was the end . It was not something like “a flag has been set” but a situation in which failure was sure .
I had studied military strategy and tactics . Although I mainly learned about 1v1 and 1v many battles, I also learned a little about many vs many battles .
Even with my superficial knowledge of strategy, I could understand the current situation .
A small troop is being surrounded by a much bigger one – there was no chance for us to win or escape .
Now, I could only wait to be slaughtered .
The short life of a mob character was about to end .
This was the war from the perspective of a mob character .

“Damn, damn it… what a powerful strength, is this a swordsman?”
“Hooh… this is a one-sided war…”
“I can’t do anything . If I had more power, then…”
This was the reality of being incompetent . Even if a mob character did his best here, the ending would not change .

“This is the mob character?”
It’s too unreasonable, I thought .
A lot of mob characters survived, but I feel cheated .
In other words, if I eliminated this unreasonable thing, could I become a power in the shadows in the eyes of mob characters?
So, let’s try it right away .
This was also a challenge for me .
It was an unprecedented attempt .
I hid all traces of my existence, and hid in [Vow of Black Rose], releasing the refined magic into the night sky .
Due to the team’s name, [Vow of Black Rose], I used the pattern of the black rose .

The alarming waves of magic has caught everyone’s attention . Everyone just stopped in their tracks and looked at the dark sky .
“…! What happened?”
“What’s that?… There is something in the sky…”
“Is that thing a little darker than the sky… a rose?”
A tremendous black rose blossomed in the sky .
That black rose glowed slightly due to the magical power, which demonstrated it’s existence whilst bathed in the moonlight .
It was so beautiful that everyone could get lost in it’s beauty . But at the same time, everyone felt an enormous pressure coming off of it .
“The [Black Rose]…in fairy tales, that…”
“Is it that [Black Rose]?”
“In Oriana, it’s well known in Oriana… the symbol of the empire…the [Black Rose] in the legend…”
The petals of the tremendous black rose gradually expanded .
Then it suddenly broke into pieces and drifted down towards the ground .
Beautiful pieces of the rose, fell down to the ground and finally landed on the right hands of the [Vow of Black Rose] members .

That petal left a black mark on everyone’s hands that looked as if it was carved directly into their hands .
The shape of that black mark was exactly a piece of beautiful rose petals .
“Does it mean… I’m selected by the [Black Rose]…? I couldn’t even get on with my job . I escaped there and abandoned myself… . ”
“Why? Why me…? I’m here for money… not for the country…”
“I’m rubbish . I mortgaged my wife… Ah! [Black Rose]! Will you give strength to such a person like me?”
The black mark on their right hands flashed intensely as if it was responding to their words .
The next moment, an incredible power emanated from the marks .
“What…is it the power of the [Black Rose]?! If such a person like me was also qualified to fight…the power, I will fight for my country . ”
“What a great power it is! [Black Rose], could I also do something for my country?”
“I know… If so, a loser like me has another chance to it again… Thank you very much . ”
All of them raised their weapons in their right hands at the same time .
The brave and beautiful gesture was their way of making an oath to the [Black Rose] .
“How’s that possible? Is it really [Black Rose]?”
Frightened expressions emerged on Rajta Count’s soldier’s faces .
The [Black Rose] was the symbol of Oriana – justice .
“Hha! We are the Vow of Black Rose! In the name of the [Black Rose], we should impose justice on the rebels!”
