Master of the brave.

"... please... don't kill me... please"

Girl shuddering, crying in a fine voice.

Winn looks back at Kelvin and Rock with a bewildered look.

They both had a puzzled look on their faces.

"... it hurts"

"Oh, I'm sorry!

I kept a strong grip on the girl's right wrist.

Winn hurries to let go of his hand.

She shrunk small enough to hide her own body as she rubbed her wrist, which had been grabbed.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm not gonna hurt you, and, uh, look, I'm not gonna do anything."

Winn pulled a pulled smile and appealed to her not to spread her hands and step back from the girl to do her harm.

I didn't think it was a girl, and Winn's heart was pulsating with surprise.

"Words... of the Empire... are you a person?

Girl looking up at Winn's face as she nodded. That expression still has a frightening color on it.

"Uh..."

Winn turns his gaze to Kelvin.

After making sure Kelvin nodded, Winn took a knee-standing position to gaze at her.

The girl is dressed in elegant clothes and tied with a scarf-like thin cloth like a headscarf. It was a typical village daughter outfit. Although there is some dirt, there is no disturbance in clothing.

She was a beautiful girl with big eyes, although she was now moistened with tears. Is it about the same age as Winn? Her eyes are slightly swollen, but she has a neat face.

"We are of the Knights of the Empire. I'm a Win Knight candidate. That's the head of this squad, Chief Kelvin Ten. And a rock quasi-knight. What's your name?

"Seri... it's Seri Torque"

"Mr. Seri? I'm sorry I scared you. Hands, it was okay."

A girl by the name of Seri, nodding cocoons at Winn's inquiry. And, even if it was off when the blanket was removed, the thin cloth that was fluttering around my head at the same time as I nodded fell loose.

"Ah..."

"You, my ear..."

Longer ears than those of man.

"No, don't look!

Seri closes her eyes tightly and holds her own ears with both hands.

"Is it a half elf"

The color of her eyes is dark brown. The Elves are, without exception, eyes of the aquatic or blue lineage. There is no such eye-colored elf.

Celli shrinks and trembles smaller to Winn's statement of half-elf.

"It's okay, 'cause it's okay"

The Wins decided to wait slowly until Celi settled down. I have plenty of time because I have nothing to do anyway.

Her physical tremors gradually subsided when she was relieved that nothing would be done after a while.

"You're from Torque Village, aren't you? Can you tell us what happened?

To Winn's inquiry, Celi softly lifts her head. Tears fell out of Celi's eyes again zero. But he seems calmer than he was earlier.

And she started talking. I attacked the village of Torque, the tragedy of that day.

'Hey, Leeds Belt. Whoa!'

"What? Just now. '

'Okay, knight of the empire. Keep it locked up in that place. What would you do if you could rub it with the Empire?

"I'll find out! Tell the elders!

Elf leader to throw up - Leesbelt said.

He gives a grumpy look and walks out early enough just wanting to leave the stone building where the humans are trapped as soon as possible.

Leesbelt's thoughts were stronger when he saw his daughter, who had seen a glimmer when he locked her in earlier.

He seemed to hide it with a scarf wrapped around his head, but his unique magic makes him know who that girl is.

Half elves - the elders say, those with dirty blood.

I don't always live around the settlement, so much so as an elf living in the woods. Sometimes I go out hunting and collecting to get near the area where people live.

Some of them got out of the settlement admiring the human city.

That's good.

The human information they bring home is important.

But that's how they kidnap the elves who went out into the outside world.

Many elves have a good appearance without exception.

It is supposedly because it is closer to God and the Spirit than to man. So much so that legend remains that the ancestors of their royal family, the High Elves, were spirits born more than world trees.

Its neat appearance seems to tickle the desires of humans, and at times some were treated as products of a sexual nature. If that's a woman, she can have children she doesn't want.

Born between man and elf, half elf.

It was a sign of humiliation and an unforgivable existence for the elves.

"I don't care... the shit"

[The Elf will surely reward those who are grateful. But give those who defiled pride the reward they deserve]

That is the code of elves.

That's why Leeds Belt can't keep the frustration under control.

From the conservative thoughts of the elders, I am avenging my gratitude.

Leesbert remembered the day he met them as he walked toward the biggest building in the elders' waiting settlement. Memories with old comrades.

"Damn it! Come back! If we don't step on it here, the front will collapse at once. Hang on to the pride of our elves!

Screaming, Leesbelt truncated the spider-like demons that flew in.

(too many!

Look around as you breathe on your shoulders.

Nearly a hundred of our companions were already only about a third left. It's also full of creativity, including the Leeds Belt. There was not a single unharmed thing left.

It is a devastating situation.

It's already been quite some time since we started the fight. Elves have a vast amount of magic compared to other races, but they have limits.

Leeds Belt himself, had already exhausted his magic and strength.

The elves fighting alongside him are also breathing on their shoulders.

The demon they were dealing with - a spider-shaped demon with the size of a cattle coffin - was flying up to the dark clouds until just now, trying to narrow the twist and distance by half sieging the wounded elves.

To remind you of the fatigue you had forgotten by fighting with selflessness, by just breathing a sigh of relief.

Once I remember, something called fatigue ties my hands and feet like I put lead on it.

A spider-shaped demon narrows the siege as he rattles his fangs. Tighten your neck with seriousness, but to twitch and terrorize them.

That's what makes it -.

(No, later on that one! Instead, I was lucky to leave. Where I fought such a monster, I had no chance of winning. than that. Now what do we do with the difficulties in front of us)

I shook my head and dismantled the existence that was commanding this army of demons. That thing moved out of this battlefield. It's none of their business now.

I don't want reinforcements.

It would be with anywhere in a crisis situation. Since the advent of the Demon King, the living and the living have been a succession of defeats on every battlefield.

A winless war of attrition. Exactly the battle against despair.

Not to mention that no allies existed near the Leesbelts that could serve as reinforcements. No, just the ones who were there but couldn't count on it.

(Damn, apparently that's it. Then one or more!

Leesbelt squeezes the sword, which has already been melted, and passes the slightest magic left over into the sword. Strengthen your body and gaze at the spider-shaped demons that are still flying.

'Coming! Show me what the elves mean! One more, take him on the road!

"'' Whoa!!

In response to Leesbelt's scolding voice, his fellow elves also respond. Squeeze your sword and show your willingness to scratch the remaining magic and fight to the end.

The spider-shaped demons also kicked the earth and jumped on it, rubbing their fangs creepily together.

Exactly. Blood, flesh, splash. One, another and life is scattered.

The Leesbelts wave their swords in madness in death. But the difference in numbers was overwhelming.

The elves are overwhelmed as if they were shredded, and the number of standing is diminished.

A sense of time is lost. How long have you been fighting?

Leesbelt doesn't know how many demons he already butchered either.

Again, the sword, which had already broken the tip of the blade, was pounded against the demon's head with all his might.

"Behind you, Leeds Belt!

"Shit!"

With the voice of a fellow who was fighting nearby, I tried to force myself to turn around - my legs slip as I slept.

(Shit!

The blood of an ally or the body fluids of a demon? They take my legs and I lose my posture.

He tries to step on it somehow, but because of his accumulated fatigue or lack of force on both legs, Leesbelt was pushed down by demons.

(So far)

The fangs of the demon hanging from the top loom.

My people who warned me are already in a state of engagement with other demons and I can't want backup.

Leesbelt made up his mind.

At that time...

Blow it up!

A spider-shaped demon's head, which was pressed against Leeds belt, bounced and flew after a flash of blade twinkling.

(Hey, what?

I managed to crawl from under the falling demon, and the sight in Leeds Belt's eyes...

"Build a wall on the outside and get the elves inside! Hygiene soldiers, healing magic to the warriors of the hurriedly wounded elves. Hurry!"

A young man with long stretched blonde hair bracketed behind him and long cut blue eyes. The human knight flies one instruction after another to his men, in a voice that passes well.

"To, human? That humans are covering for us...?

"Can you stand?

Speaking up, Leesbelt realized his hand was being offered, trying to help him wake up.

"Ah, oh. Sorry. '

Return your words of gratitude, grab that hand and stand up.

A human young man who slashed the demon that was hanging on Leeds Belt. He was a good man with a smiling look on his face.

As he stood up, Leesbelt suspected it was a dream. I wonder if my true self is even dreaming before I die from the shock of being defeated by demons.

'Well, you may not believe that humans are reinforced by elves, because it's very difficult for us to be pulled out of here and poked behind our backs, too. That's why I've been ordered to cover you more than our General Zaunas.'

He must have judged Leesbelt to be the Elves' commander. A young man came to speak in elf.

'Even so, I could only divide my power by about two hundred.'

'No, I'm sorry. Thank God.'

Leeds belt with head down. I thought no allies existed to be reinforcements.

The race of men fighting on the battlefield next door assumed that even in the midst of the battle, they were all those who pulled each other's feet in factional strife.

I didn't know they could help me.

"Hey, Kelvin. How long have you been playing? The only way to fight is to go and sweep it up."

A knight, who had given instructions earlier, walked over. Even from Leesbelt, an elf, he was a young man with a neat face.

"Don't be unscrupulous, Senior Lloyds. I do love fighting, though. You can't just wipe out that number."

"If you have time to cry, just go."

"Yes, sir."

Reluctantly with his mouth, his expression floats with joy and the young man known as Kelvin jumps into the herd of demons.

Do you use unique magic, every time he waves his sword, the body of the demon touching its blade tip bounces off.

Strong.

Even from Leesbelt's eyes, I could see that he was an exceptional swordsman.

Fluid splashes down on Kelvin as well. But Kelvin didn't even wipe it, and instead, he was happy to jump to the next score.

"Hmm, there's a battle freak..."

After watching Kelvin fight for a while, Lloyds turned to Leeds Belt, who was still a little grumpy.

Are you sure you want to be the Elf Commander? I am Lloyds Hundred Horsemen, a member of the Knights of the Northeast Side of the Lemursil Imperial Army. On the other hand, I have come to support you with the life of Commander General Zaunas. We are under your command and command. For one thing, after treating your injuries and restoring your health under us, you will command us'

"... a human knight under my command," he said?

It was an incredible word.

Even though all races have cooperative structures against demons, they say they will come under the command of other races.

But Lloyds smiled invincibly and glanced at him with one eye.

'Ma, you won't be able to rub it better. Two commanders on one narrow battlefield is a source of confusion. In this battlefield, the interests of the land lie with you, and it is more efficient for the Elves to command and cover us from the rear than we can fully recover their magic.'

The elves, who healed their injuries and restored only a few health and magic powers, were thoroughly directed and supported by the human knights, mainly Lloyds and Kelvin, in the rear of the battle.

The mixed army of humans and elves, born in the corner of the battlefield, managed to fight through until dawn, when demonic activity weakened even as they took victims, preventing the collapse of the front.

(We will surely reward you. absolutely if that's what makes you a comrade)

Reese Belt, awakened from her thoughts, stops in front of the elders' waiting building and laughs.

From the roots of the young trees of the world trees, there was an intense flash of light.

(Sorry, Kelvin. I'll get you out of there in a minute. And you did something bad to that girl, too. Dirty blood? You know, I don't know. That girl won't be guilty. Let's just serve him some delicious meals and let's have a drink.)

My laughter spilled over the thought that the time had finally come to return the favor I had received from my old friend.

The roots of the world tree. A magical formation emerges in that universe with multiple intricate prints. Then, the glow gradually subsides when the dazzling light is emitted.

When the light subsided, there were two figures there.

"Huh, thanks. Tiara, send me."

"No problem. More than that, I look forward to meeting Letty's loved ones"

"I wonder if your brother has arrived yet. But it's convenient, right? This magic. You can go anywhere the world tree roots, right?

"Not everywhere. It's sprouting and needs a proper landmark magic formation"

"Thanks to you, I can rendezvous with your brother, and I thank His Highness Alfred."

"I don't understand human society. You're a brave man, so you won't be able to act freely, and all kinds of weird things."

"A little cold?

"The magic of metastasis takes too long. Because it's nightfall."

Leticia shuddered small as she walked.

"The sun doesn't shoot much here by day, and it cools down at night. You want me to get you something to weave your feathers off the top?

"Yeah, I'm fine"

Talking, Leticia and Tiara walk out toward the center of the settlement.

The elves soon gathered because of the magical glow of the earlier transfer.

"No way... princess!?

"To such a remote place, why?

Tiara, the great wise man and royal family of the famous elf, and the people who welcome Leticia, the brave man. Tiara opened her mouth as she raised her hand to them and responded.

'Come late at night, I'm sorry. I think a customer is coming from the Empire...'

Elves looking at each other.

Out of them, four elves entered.

"Oh, princess. This has made me welcome to such a distant place. Hey. I would like to extend my heartfelt welcome to all those in our midst. Well, what can I do for you today?

"There must be more knights here than the Empire, haven't they arrived yet?

"Knight..."? If you are a knight who has broken into our realm, certainly bring him to the stone prison '

"Prison!?

Leticia blocked the conversation when she was silently listening to the conversation between Tiara and the elders.

I wonder what prison means.

"Princess, what about this one?

"Mavis the Brave"

Blood drew all at once from the elders' faces.

"Brother!

Bang! The door of the magic seal stone cell was opened with the fierce sound of

"Letty, Letty?

"Is that it, Leticia?

Standing roughly breathing at the door of the stone cell is Leticia, who is supposed to be in Shimrug, the Imperial capital.

Winn jumped up in surprise as he twitched himself into the blanket and slept on the floor.

"Hey, why are you here?

"Are you okay? Brother, haven't they done anything?

"Nothing's been done, no, well, I'm trapped..."

"Good..."

Leticia gives a soothing look and hugs Winn softly.

Win getting his hands around his back and accidentally dogging him.

"Hey, why is Letty here?

"Of course, to help your brother!

"Huh? Leticia, are you joining us in the war?!?

The rock that slept just like Winn jumped up.

"With you, Leticia, we can definitely win! Hey, Winn!

Leticia looked up at Wynn with a full smile as she held him.

Demon King, if Leticia is on your side that can destroy even a large group of demons, no matter how many Petersian troops there are, they won't even be enemies.

"Well, Captain Lloyds' petty worker was about Master Leticia!

Rock saw Winn with a cheer...

Winn puts his hand on Leticia's shoulder and gently pulls away.

"No, Letty. You should not come here. [M] Go back to the Empire City."

Leticia opened her eyes and Locke lost her words.

In the dim room, I don't see the look of the top-down wins.

"Why...? How can you not?

But Winn did not answer Leticia and turned his body toward Kelvin.

"Deputy Kelvin. Captain Lloyds' smallworker means using himself as a dashi to use Letty - the brave Leticia Van Mavis?

To Winn's question, Kelvin doesn't answer. Not answering meant it was right.

"You're gonna use me to use Letty, aren't you? Letty is strong. If Letty joins the fight, Petersia? That's where all the troops of the Knights of Petersia went out, letting Letty kick it off by herself. Well, from the Empire, you'd want Letty's power enough to get your hands out of your throat! But isn't it too dirty to ask Letty to join the fight instead of using me and trying to use Letty!?

Winn remembered his anger so much that his whole body of blood seemed to boil. Squeeze your fists and bite your lips to the point that blood seeps through them.

Winn noticed.

To the fact that I am a weakness of Leticia...

Being a brave man and a marquise, she will not stand on the battlefield in that capacity.

The surroundings won't allow it - as far as pre-construction is concerned.

To be honest, as an empire, you should want to use Leticia's power. However, the force could not be used against Leticia's will.

Unless the wins are involved.

When Winn gets involved, Leticia prioritizes him.

Perhaps that's why you're here now.

No one can free Leticia's will.

But if I say the other way around, even if the perimeter tries to stop her, there is no one who can stop her in the true sense except Winn.

Lloyds used it there.

To invoke Leticia by dashing Winn.

"Letty, you go home to Empire City. You must not take part in this battle."

Staring at Kelvin, Winn tells Leticia over his back.

"I'm sorry, Deputy. Indeed, Letty - no, if the brave Mavis joins the fight, we will certainly win. But I can't admit it this way."

Kelvin exhaled one sigh.

"Letty, come here for a second"

Winn saluted Kelvin and walked out of the stone cell room when he took Leticia's hand, which was solidifying behind his back.
