Legend

Ver, whose torso was cut up and down and fell to the ground. Earla looked around, worried.

Only four Warcraft soldiers could move one fingertip while falling to the ground. Yes, even though there were the first five Warcraft soldiers on this occasion, only four were manipulated by Ver and were out of breath.

"The other one..."

Mumble and look around, but only those who are in the distance fighting the other Warcraft soldiers. Especially around here, Ara was at war, and she can see a lot of Elaine's escort knights. There's no sign of the other one anywhere.

If we were nearby, Ver could have killed us, so that was natural, too. The only surviving Beetle Warcraft soldier had already left the scene. It should be noted that then Ciance was encountering Ray while he was on his way to report on Ver's case, and was at the end of the day that his torso would be split up and down, just like Ver's.

"... Guardian Knights, huh"

"Dear Ara!

Arla shrugged thinking of Ver's end. That's when he's called abruptly from behind.

Earla turned to you and saw a middle-aged man with blue hair about 10 years older than herself. This man, who is vice president, has assembled the Knights of Guardianship more accurately than himself, the Knights of Guardianship, both for Ara and her subordinate but unthinkable opponent.

"Looks like you're safe there, Machen."

I guess I have a position as head of the Knights. It's not the kind of language you're always talking to Elaine or Ray, but somewhere in a hard tone.

"Yes, as far as it is currently confirmed, there are two dead and 13 seriously injured members of the team,"

"Right. Two."

He sighs with grief in his eyes and turns his gaze straight to Ver, who is falling to the ground.

Following that gaze, Machen realizes whose face the person whose torso is being amputated is leaving behind.

"Ver!? Captain, this is..."

"Yes, Ver Sails, who used to be one of our countrymen. The end of it."

"Is this Ver,? Well, you seem to be changing a lot."

On the tentacles of the roots of the tree stretching out of his left shoulder, he would never have noticed himself without the shadow of his former face: a burnt face and four eyes, and in that way, Machen also learns from his boss to sigh.

"Honestly, when I heard about Ver betraying us, I wanted to kill him with this hand... but seeing this look doesn't make you feel that way either"

"Right. Even I, who saw with that eye the scene of betrayal, can only feel pity if I see this situation now. Anyway, it was the end of the day when those who used to be enemies of the eyes were not even dealt with, and trash scraps were also paid off."

"Huh? Didn't the captain do this? My torso is twofold."

Ara sees her own deputy with an unexpected look at the words.

Of course, I am aware that my arms are extraordinarily high compared to normal, but still some things I am not convinced of as a woman.

"That's a good word for Machen to know what kind of eyes he usually looks at me. But unfortunately, I'm not the one who set Ver up. Ironically, it's Lord Ray, who Ver hated deeply."

"When I say Lord Ray, I'm sure Elaine's..."

The information that Elaine thinks of Ray is sometimes the deputy head of the Knights of Guardianship, and is also communicated to Machen.

Of course, Elaine didn't let me know, she took care to make sure Arla didn't have a bad relationship with Ray and Machen, which was bad per capita.

"He was looking for Master Elaine and arrived here by chance... but that's when he saw me being attacked by a warcraft soldier who was in Ver's control, and he helped me. That said, I just slashed Ver off with that big sickle from behind."

"Is it a sickle? According to information I've heard from the Larks Army, that sounds like a pretty huge sickle. It's like manipulating your hands and feet, so even with your arms, it's better than your regiment leader..."

When Machen told him that, Ara did see something move in the corner of her sight. Yes, the roots of the trees are stretched from the cutting surface of the vel with the torso made into two upper and lower parts, trying to connect them to each other.

When she saw how it was, Ara pushed her side forcefully, almost reflectively, away from Meichen standing to block herself and Ver, who was falling to the ground. Even when it came to paying, it was done with Ara's arm, called rigidity. Naturally, Machen blows sideways for a few meters and falls to the ground.

"Wow! Captain, anything too angry... so don't... su, or...?

Isn't it too much to punish Ara for hearing the joke she made earlier? It was a whining word with that meaning in mind, but what Machen, who raised his gaze, saw was the figure of Arla with the roots of the tree tangled into a power ax.

And naturally the source of the roots of the trees tangled in the Power Axe is Ver falling to the ground.

"In that state, still alive!?

While flashing, he quickly rises off the ground and pulls his sword out of the sheath of his hips.

Captain!

"I'll hold this root! Machen, crush your head!

"Copy that!"

"Keh, keh, ray? Ray? Oh, I wonder if it was Ray who killed me!

Ver screams, saying that he was severed from the body up and down, but has no discerning appearance at all.

From the place where it was cut, the roots of the trees grow, stretching each other's roots to the upper and lower parts of the body and trying to connect them. Seeing as that happens, Ara distorts her face to disgust.

"Ver, have you even abandoned your perseverance as a person!

"Kehih, it's me, too. Shh, I didn't like it and become this body. I failed to assassinate Elaine... Out of the way!

I try to extend the roots of the trees to Maichen, who is about to wave down his sword on his own head, but before that I have to move to your interception when I see Ara, who pulled a thousand chopped roots of the trees that had been forcefully entangled in a butch and a power ax, approaching.

"He's a man who was formerly one of us.... Rest in peace, sleep!

With that one word, Machen sticks his sword tip out sharply to his head. Understanding that interception at the root of the tree is not possible in time, Ver uses his right hand, which remains the only human hand, to jump up his body.

Being a Warcraft soldier probably raises your physical ability itself compared to when you were human. Ver's body was jumping nearly 2m, even though he said he jumped with only his right hand force.

But... Ver was originally the brain-racing type. The fact that it has become a Warcraft soldier has slowed my thoughts, made me mentally unstable, and diminished my judgment level, which is flavorful. Yes, if it was Vel, he would have understood what the act of jumping into the air meant.

"Ahhhhhhhh!

Boom!

A blow that took hold of Power Axe and was unleashed with the utmost power. If it were purely a single blow of power, Ver would have surpassed even Elaine's, to do something about that blow, it was floating in the air, and the roots of the only tree he could count on didn't rely on preventing Arla's blow either, and he didn't have time to dodge it. As a result...... the swung down giant Battleax blade hits Ver's head and plunges it into the midpoint of the fourth eye, causing the head to explode.

Green liquid that would be the effect of becoming a brains, bones, flesh, blood, and warcraft warrior. When Machen saw Ver's upper body falling to the ground while dispersing them around, he was already left with no more than one left from his neck.

"If you just get your head smashed, you won't be able to regenerate any more"

While whining, Ara frowns uncomfortably with her eyes turned from her neck to her lower torso and from there to her amputated lower torso.

"Just in case. Machen, I'll crush the rest of you. I'll smash your torso, so you can have your torso."

"... apparently, you should keep it that way. I didn't think they'd cut my torso and still be able to move that much."

Pull out the sword that was piercing the ground and turn your gaze towards the lower body that is cut around your belly.

There, the roots of a tree stretching out of his belly were moving uneunevenly, even if he lost his head and still wasn't dead.

"What did the Bestian Empire think to make something like this, too?... Ver, it's the passion of a former colleague. At least sleep in peace."

With the words, the heavily wielded sword is swung down to Ver's lower body.

Next door, Ara was also waving her power ax down to her upper body, where she had lost her head.

Ver Sails. Born and raised as second son to the Viscount Sails family. In the course of that growth, I began to find pleasure in murder, but I never put it on the table at all, and even my family never knew its face. Together, the families fall back from the kingdom of Mireana to the Bestian Empire, when the disturbances severely injure Ver himself and are used as an experiment to create a warcraft soldier specialized in vitality to the Alchemist of the Ministry of Magic. One in every 500 people undergoes experiments with low survival rates, but succeeds in surviving. However, the spirit is transformed in the course of the experiment. Afterwards, he acted as a Warcraft soldier and participated in an ambush operation using transfer stones in the Battle of the Seremouth Plains. Ray slashes Ray unconsciously from behind where he was fighting his former colleague, Ara, and turns him into two trunks. However, he still survived in that state due to the characteristic of a warcraft soldier specialized in his vitality, but Ara's blow smashed his head and truly ends his life.

"I don't know what you were thinking. But this is the result of your own choices. Take it seriously."

That's all he tells short, and Ara's gaze is directed at the deputy.

As Ara of Elaine's life more than her ex, she doesn't even have a piece of emotion for Ver who betrayed Elaine already.

"Machen, we're going to cover our allies. Now we have to keep all the Knights at bay."

"Master Elaine would be nice?

"Lord Ray is on his way. That's all. Don't worry about Elaine anymore."

In Ara, Ray's strength is regarded as sufficient to deposit absolute trust. That's why I regret that I can't go help Elaine, but still Elaine's victory over Theorem at the time Ray heads to help has become definitive in Arla.

"Come on, let's go. Even if we leave this ambush, there is still a chance that the war will not end. We need to secure as much of Elaine's power as we can for then."

"... I'm physically tough. Captain, it's nice to have that axe."

With a bitter smile, they went to the battlefield to help their people.

"Phew... Princess General, you've lifted your arms a lot compared to before"

Theorem plays the cutting-edge of a connecting sword flying from an unexpected direction, diagonally back to the right, with a sword, and speaks to Elaine in front of her as she takes her distance.

Even Theorem, who exchanges blades several times and has an alias for flashing light, is getting some breath up, but Elaine, who is across the street, has a cool face, so it's not impossible to spew a word that Theorem can be considered weak.

"Well, I don't know. Aren't my arms up, and your arms dull? According to what I've heard, you've entered the faction of the third prince. Weren't you busy fighting for power and neglecting your training?

Return the jointed sword from the state of whip to the state of sword, and tell that to Elaine.

But even for Elaine, it doesn't mean she can afford what she says. No, Ning Lo. In its heart, I was once again surprised by Theorem's strength. I inherited the power of the Enchanted Dragon in the ritual of inheritance, and so far we interact with each other. Even though the inherited power is not completely used, the physical ability is considerably higher than before. Because we interact with each other like that, the blunt arm Elaine spoke of was a word that had no meaning other than provoking.

"Surely your strength is higher than before. But still, how can you unilaterally do this to me? Then all I have to do is believe in Ciance, who headed for Count Arius, and maintain this situation. I'll keep it that way for a while."

Theorem tells you so while he lays his sword again on the military horse.

Even for Elaine, I recognized that time was my enemy, regardless of the battle between me and Theorem. So I bite the umbilicus with my heart at the words of Theorem. Still, there was nothing more I could do than hold Theorem back on this battlefield.... Yes, not until this time.

"Cuuuuuuuu!"

……

"Huh!?

A ringing noise that you shouldn't hear in battle sounds all around you.

Theorem looks surprised at the squeal, and Elaine grins.

Keeping the jointed sword in place, he turned his gaze only for a moment toward those who heard a squeal, where there existed the figure of a beloved man with a small dragon and a large sickle, as Elaine expected.
