Thus, General Matthew sends death squads to dig pitfalls for the unexpected evening and for a short time to come.
Soldiers who are going to climb the wall the next day will fall into the pit one after the other, and the soldiers on the wall will aim for it with crossbows.The relentless arrows rain.
However, a few days later, the enemy soldiers were cut off in a pit, and Wilson came forward.As a giant, Wilson breaks through a hole like an ant's hole one after the other and charges his soldiers into it.
The operation to set a trap has failed.General Matthew looked out the window in the conference room of the side tower, and Sophie looked up at the ceiling and lamented in anticipation of an endless war.
"Thank you!"
Another soldier enters the conference room.
"The enemy generals are angry with the trap and are demanding a ride!"
"... you won't be forced to respond.Return the soldiers as usual. "
"It is said that... it can come from as many people as you want, and that you can fight the general you want.The soldiers who took this as a provocation are angry. "
"What, you can call as many people as you want, or you can nominate someone you like?"
That is, the Marbles look down on the Harmon kingdom, saying that whoever comes in any form will have the same result.
But we can't really say three versus all the generals and soldiers of the Harmony kingdom.Whatever form it takes, there is a minimum of formality to avoid later being called cowardice.
"Should we send three generals here against Brown?"
That's good.
Sophie agrees with General Matthew's proposal.
I checked it and tried to order the soldiers.
A girl stood behind the soldier.
The girl, wearing a dark red tongari hat and a pink robe, had never been face-to-face in the past three weeks.
"... you..."
General Matthew rounds his eyes.
"Who is this person?"
Sophie, who met the girl for the first time, asks General Matthew, and the answer returns immediately.
Alisa.
"Are you Alisa!"
When Sophie stood up from a chair on the table, she ignored the soldiers and spoke to the girl behind her.
The girl smiles and leans forward before the soldier, lowering her head deeply.
"It's Alisa Han Tesperk. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I'm back now."

A few moments ago, I was renting one of the serviced accommodation rooms in Demon King Castle, and I was still sitting in the window chair looking out, as usual.
Has it been more than a month since I came to this room?I can't see the war situation from here, but I can hear the servants talking outside the room and understand the general situation.A servant who mourns the death of a family boy in battle, a servant who mourns the large number of injured and sick people lined up in the square, a servant who is afraid of the rain of fire near the castle wall every night.I didn't hear that clearly, but the situation seems to be getting worse every day.
Once a day, Vargis comes to this room and talks to me.Vargis is also sewing up busy time in the war to make time for me.I can't get my head up. Vargis initially talked about wars and enemy forces, but lately he only talked about Mae and Radhika Natori, and the culture and memories of the demons.I don't know if you gave up or if you want me to go out, but that 10 minutes alone with Vargis was the best healing for me.
But we must finish this life as soon as possible.You can't stay locked up in a room like this forever.
I felt a fierce resistance to killing people, felt a fierce guilt towards myself who killed people, and thought that there was no face to suit May as it was, so I kept it in this room all the time.But many more soldiers are dead because of my absence.Isn't this much worse than killing people?That kind of emotion is trying to get me out of this room.
I had no choice but to kill people, but I was wondering what I would do with my own compensation.The answer, enlightenment, and readiness finally came out.
"Vargis"
I talk to Vargis, who visited the room as usual.Vargis sits on a cheap bed in a small room and looks at me sitting by the window.
What's wrong?
In reply to Vargis, I keep looking out the window.From the towers and towers that make up the castle of the demon king, you can see the view of the towns lined with buildings.
"I made up my mind. I don't get lost anymore.I kill people in war.I hate killing people, but if I don't, more people will die. "
Vargis takes a deep breath and answers.
"When I was healthy, I thought Alisa would never come back, so I gave up." My concubine, I wish Alisa had left this room, rested from the war, and lived as usual.Defense is enough for a concubine. "
"Yes. Valgis is the king of this country, so you can't be on the front lines easily, can you?I have no choice but to replace Vargis.I've been stuck in this room all this time thinking about killing people. "
So I turn around and stare at Vargis.
"There's no answer in me yet.I don't know if that's a good reason to kill because if I don't kill someone, there will be more casualties.But, Vargis, you said that before.War has a purpose. "
Hmm.
"I want to end this world as soon as possible.I want to create a peaceful world where people don't have to kill each other.If I could make such a world, I would do everything I could to soil my hands. "
After hearing that, Vargis opens his mouth for a while, closes it again, gets up from bed, walks to me, holds my head and sticks it to his stomach.
"Alisa, you've been thinking about this all by yourself. It must have been tough."
"Yeah." But I thought I shouldn't stay like this forever.I decided to be one of Valgis' arms.I made a promise to someone I liked once, so I'll keep it. "
Alisa.
Vargis takes my face off my stomach.
Looking up, the eyes of Vargis were naturally full of tears.
"To be honest, I thought it would be fine if my concubine and Alisa weren't dirty.But it would be nice if Alisa would join us in the war.My concubine feels like I've got 10,000 allies. "
"Yes, thank you, and I have a condition for joining the war."
That said, I just lay my eyes down a little.
"This doesn't change the fact that I killed people, and I don't think it's any sin, but I just want my heart to be saved.So when I win a war, I want to be part of the treatment of enemy soldiers and the rebuilding of my city. "
Vargis looked a little surprised, but he stretched his hand to my lying cheek.
"I see. After the war with the Marbles is over, give Alisa 3000 troops, use them as you like."
When I hear it, I raise my face and stand up and embrace Vargis.
"Really!? Vargis, thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
I hugged Valgis and then sat on the bed, pressing my face against Valgis' chest and crying for a while.
