“Very well then.” — Eula pulls out her great sword, pointing at Schneider.

The Leader of Favonius Knights, a fearless and stalwart knight that was hardened by bloody battles, in front of her is a Valiant Samurai — from the otherworld, who had been raised up by discipline and tenacity, an excellency of The Empire.

Her fearful temperament is undeniable, Schneider and his men can sense her wills to fight to death. Predators will only drop their sword when it or the prey is dead, only one can step out this hill, just thinking about it makes him more excited than ever.

He slightly pulled out his traditional sword — the Katana — which is smaller and thinner than Eula's great sword.

“I can't understand how that heavy and unreliable sword can help you.” – He mildly said.

“That unreliable sword is about to pierce through your chest.” — She smacked the back of the sword down the ground, creating a stern warning noise.

He smirked, taunting Eula, and attached the sword on his gun simultaneously, that is Karabiner 98K* – The field modification made only for him.

“Now! Let's see what your sword can do! Haha.”

Schneider lifts up the gun, pointing right on her head. His finger is holding tight the trigger.

“Disadvantage yourself by attaching it on a wooden stick? What a fool.”

Without saying a word, he shot steadfastly, immediately caught Eula off guard, but she had proven that she is not his prey in the feast, in an instant Eula parried it by sword.

Her supernatural reaction made everyone think about her in another way, Schneider started hesitating, sweating while finding a way to deal with this woman. He gulps, pulling back the bolt, the hot shell being clicked out the ejection port, ready for the next shot.

The shell caught Eula attention.

“How dirty you are, have to use a hidden arrow in a duel?”

“You are in my game, my rules.”

He shook his head, then looked up to her face with a provoke smile. Suddenly, he took off Amber's vision.

“Your friend you say? Now she's in my hand! Hahaha.” — He laughed triumphantly.

“What…?”

“Friend reunion, huh? Glad you met this whore in another form.”

“You. You killed her!!”

“And?” — He threw it down the ground, and shattered it with a stomp. In fact it was just a mockup Vision made by crystal with high details accuracy, his purpose was to provoke the enemy in case he met them.

“You…”

She was held back so many times, what is the point of holding it back? When my friends died in front of my eyes, she asked herself deep in the soul.

Her patience is waning, she reached her limits, the mission survey the strength of the mysterious force will go into the trash bin, seems this time another life she must take aways is here.

“That's enough!”

Eula suddenly sped up the battle pace, charged towards Schneider with a heavy strike.

“Hugh!” — he struggled to parry the attack, it seems clear he doesn't have a chance to her in one on one.

“Fool! How long have you relied on technology? Where's your knight spirit!”

Eula repeatedly struck down him a series of unbearable blows, he can only passively defend in hopelessness. This is the first time Schneider feels he will get a bloody defeat.

“Repent! Devil! You have to pay for what you did to Amber and her squad!”

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

What goes around, comes around. He lost balance, and fell down the ground one leg. Without a mistake, she knocked the gun out of his hand, strictly kicked Schneider off.

“Without Vision, you are nothing.” — Eula pointed her great sword to his throat.

“You… Bastard! Who the fuck are you!”

“That doesn't matter now, I like to play with my toy for some more.”

She picks up Schneider’s gun, and throws it to him.

“Pick it up.”

He took it, aggressively running toward her, thrusting the bayonet. But to Eula, Schneider is too slow to catch up to her.

“Is that how the knight fights? How disappointing.”

He fell into the way he goes, he blindly attacked her without knowing anything. Schneider turned himself into a wild animal rather than a solemn officer, which made his men couldn't say a word.

“What a stubborn you are” — Eula swiftly evades every attack, and counters him simultaneously. She lowered body, slash a line on his belly precisely, too close to suffer severe damage, but too slight to death.

He growls painfully, holding his stomach while lying on the ground. Watching him suffering in pain made an adrenaline rush faster through her blood, a true predator will never let its prey flee, she casted frost spell, froze his feet.

“Arrgghh! Bitch! You jerk! How many dirty tricks you still have!” — he said with an out of breath tone.

Eula went silent, she lifted the sword overhead, that sharp blade reflects shiny on high, like it's dazzling. The judgment shall end up here, with the sinner — Schneider will have to payback for what he did.

“You can't run from me, devil!”

In that critical moment, she didn't notice that the artillery had been aimed at her. That blunder happened because she ignored the artillery squads earlier, or in other way, she underestimated them, now it turned against her.

“Fire!”

Too late, she couldn't evade that 75mm shell precisely fired to her spot. She difficulty parried it, but High Explosive doesn't give Eula a chance. The explosion caused her to be critically injured, she tried to balance herself, but the body didn't obey her order, and fell down to the ground.

“Gotcha! Haha!” — Schneider hardly stood up.

“Good job my boys! Now let's end her suffering.”

His silhouette revealed through the smoke, he leisurely comes to Eula's body, emotionlessly thrust his bayonet through her stomach, the fresh blood wet all her clothes..

“Now, who's winning the game? Bitch!”

Miraculous, she's still conscious, that woman trying to stand up, but keeps falling.

“I'll not let you harm them… Anymore!”

He throws the sword to her, triumphantly said:

“Do it.”

“What?”

“Disembowelment.”

Eula stares at the sword, hesitating.

“This is your last respect I gave to you. Woman.”

She refused, her spirit doesn't let her suicide. The promise protecting Mondstadt at all cost, even if they lost their life, can't break it in any circumstances, the Favonius Knights will always keep the chin up above the sword, rather than bow down the head in front of the enemy.

The end of the regiliant knight tragedy ended. She can see her journey from a young girl, to a battle, to the honor, and today, Schneider lifts his bayonet, no hesitation stab through her throat.

In her last seconds in this world, she thinks about her comrades, her friends, and what she regrets. The film running fast through her eyes, what a journey to remember, she thinks.

“Jean, you're still late as always.”

Schneider pulls back his bayonet from her throat, and kicks her down.

“May The Gods protect Mondstadt.”

Why do I never feel as beautiful as today?

“Eula!!”

Jean hastily runs out of the forest. She made it, but too late.

“Oh? Another whore who finds death?”

“What have you done to Eula!”

He looks to the soulless body down his feet.

“So this bitch named Eula, I see. I killed her, what a tough girl huh?”

“You…”

“I don't have to play, artillery, fire!”

Immediately 75mm roaring, but The Knights of Favonius isn't an easy deal, in a flick of feather, she appears in front of Schneider, and her sword was pierced through his belly.

“I'll not go as easy as Eula.” — Jean whispered.

Quickly, Schneider pushed her back, but wounds over wounds had killed him slowly. He was hardly standing, sweating and lost his sight.

“I see, you reached your limit.”

“You… You think… That… Cough… Cough” — he coughed blood.

Schneider can sense that the sins are crawling on his back, and he may not get through today.

“I'll get revenge for Eula.”

Jean knocked him down, pulled her sword out, the end was very near to him.

But suddenly, the engines roared louder and louder, that came toward them.

“Reinforcement, reinforcement! They are here! Haha!”

“That… That monster!” — Jean surprised.

Panther ausf F joined the party, and pointed the gun to her.

“Tch! You're lucky today!”

She let him go, picked up Eula and disappeared into the wind.

“Are you okay, Major General?!”

“Kuro? I'm good, all good.”

“I'll send forces to pursuit them, my General.”

“You don't need to.”

“But…”

“I said you don't need to.”

“... Alright then, I'll carry you to the field hospital.”

“I'm not a handicap, fool. I can do it myself.”

“...”

“Pick up that sword to the camp, I'll investigate it later.”

“Yes, sir.”

Although squads on the road offered to take him to the camp by their vehicle, he still chose walks back to the camp.

The time he made it to the gate of the camp, Günter ran to him with worriness.

“The hell? What happened to you?”

“All… Good my friend…”

He showed him Eula's sword.

“You skirmish with them?”

Amber ran out, and saw the blood tainted sword on Kuro's hand.

“Isn’t that…? What did you do to her?”

Schneider turns to Amber, patting her head with his bloody hand.

“Don't worry, little girl. She will be fine.”

“I can't trust you, what have you done to her?”

Schneider breathed heavily, went silent, he slowly lost consciousness due to blood loss, and fell down the ground after that.

“Major General?!”

“Hey!”

“Bring him to emergency! Quick!”
