The Branded Female Fencer

The fortress where Rhine and Dance Slave stepped down was a hell of a painting. Perhaps not a day has passed since the battle ended, from all over the building. The smell of the flesh burning of the beasts can come in, and some buildings are still burning. It was a sight beyond direct sight, such as the beast man who was inked to reach out to heaven in the fire, and the one who was skewered with a spear on the wall.

There no longer seems to be any living beasts. When you look at the carcasses of the dead beasts, you see multiple stabbings or crushed marks of stubbornly stabbing their heads with swords and axes. It was a cruelty that I don't think was done by very humans.

Unlike the forts of the other beasts, this Fort Lambawool has deep moats and high exterior walls. The Beasts prefer the battle of the plains, so they will mostly strike out of the castle, and the fortifications, like humans, are not oriented, but among them this lambawool is made quite well. Most beasts can barely handle bows and arrows and other fine weapons, so dropping them from the walls is mainly stone and boiled water.

Still, the fort is considerably harder to fall even if the walls are just high. It is not normal to crush that fort so far without skin. And the lack of any survivors was inexplicable to the line as to what the hell that meant.

Moreover, we can not see at all how to fight extermination and govern again. Seeing where the fire is still burning, we can assume that as soon as we dropped it, we put all our armies together and headed to the capital without a break. This is nothing but a suicide act by the Krums army. It is not a proper commander's job to advance without securing a supply route. Rhine was going around looking at the fort, thinking all about it.

And at that time, I think I heard the groans and the line shrugs my ears. And when he pulled out his sword without alarm, he explored the direction of his voice as he drew attention to the dance slave.

"This way..."

"Rhine, that beast man is alive!

When Dance Slave let the fallen pillar go, he found a beast man groaning like a jerk from the bottom. Apparently, he escaped Krums' hand by being underneath the pillars. But my lower body is completely crushed, and my guts are also sticking out. Instead, the underlying of the pillars and the inhibition of blood flow spared a large amount of bleeding, which, in addition, would be alive because it is the vitality of the beast man. A human would definitely be seriously wounded to death.

Are you quite tall, relatively superior in what you're wearing, and lots of medals. Probably a commander. Tense the beast man's cheek several times and the line will check if he is conscious.

"Hey! Are you conscious!?

"Ugh, oh... oh"

"Line, bring me something to treat right away!

"Stop it, dancer, this guy can't help you anymore. You should ask him if he has anything left to say."

The line took control of the dance slave that was about to go elsewhere. The beast man reacts slowly to the words.

"Can't I... help you?"

"Oh, you can't. My lower body is crushed. Don't you get it?

"I don't feel it anymore... I'm blind... what happened to everyone?

Rhine cruised to see if he would tell the truth for a moment, but decided to tell him the truth. I was going to ask you anything that was hard to answer.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen anyone alive but you yet. Probably wiped out."

"Well... there were nearly 50,000 troops in this fort. I didn't mean total annihilation..."

Tears spill from the eyes of the beast man. Grief for the dead, anger at yourself for not being able to fulfill your task. The reasons for this will vary. It is easily felt by the line of ex-military. But even if you push that emotion to death, there's something you have to ask this beast man.

"I'm sorry, but there are a few things I need to ask you before you die. Ready?"

"As far as I can tell... by the way, are you human?

"That's right. Krums' army seems to suck, so I chased him to get a hold of that reality. They're too dangerous to leave us like this. Tell me what you know if you like."

"Do humans also... realize how dangerous they are... please, stop them. This has nothing to do with Zamwed, the Beasts, the military, etc... my wish as a living man on this earth..."

"Fine. I hear that."

The beast man shook his strength and lifted his hand, and Rhine shook it forcefully. Then the beast man smiled a little relieved and began to talk about the Krums army.

"Those Krums were... wearing metal armor that our nails and fangs couldn't get through. Is that why he was so brave and brutal... he was killing me when I offered to surrender, killing me around regardless of allowances or even the general public..."

"Was everyone wearing that armor?

"That's right. Especially the guys in the lead were strong as monsters... no, maybe they were really monsters..."

"What do you mean?

"As soon as we hit the stone and fell off the ladder, we stood up, pounded hot water and didn't flinch... and less than a minute after they stuck on this wall, the wall was broken. To quote... Ugh."

The beast man groans in agony. But Rhine doesn't say anything more comforting right now.

"Hey, don't die yet. Go on."

"Oh, oh... I sealed my arms without weapons at least, but they ripped us apart with their bare hands, even without weapons. That's not human..."

"What? With bare hands."

"Oh, yeah... the guys who dropped their weapons killed us with their bare hands..."

Rhine had seen some unusual things by the time he got here. Dead beast man as he plunges into a brick wall, an unusually large crack into the earth. I didn't know what it was at first, but I'd be convinced if I thought that a bunch of giant-like phantom brags had broken out. He may be even stronger in arms than the most giants.

But the confession of the beast man did not stop at that.

"The decisive thing was... they were blocking all the escape routes before they infiltrated our fort. Every gate was walled on the outside at the same time as the battle began... and it was impossible to escape."

"Block them from the four? So you were splitting up even less troops?

"I guess so... because less than 3,000 people came from the front. It's like it's more about not letting anyone get away with it than it is about letting this place fall... no, you don't..."

The beast man's breath is getting rough. It won't be long now.

"They enjoy killing... at least that commander. That's what he was as strong as a monster... kicking through dozens of our army elites by himself... even though he didn't look as strong as he flattered..."

"Are you a bald chick?

"Kuku... I don't like your mouth, but you're right. Doesn't sound strong enough to flatter you, does it?... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."

When the beast man coughed, he threw up blood.

"But we lost to a guy like that by the time he was skinless... what a pity..."

"You fought desperately, didn't you? I know it must be mindless, but I'm not wasting your sacrifice."

"Phew... don't be mean, human... what's your name?

"My name is Rhine... no, shall I name my real name"

Rhine told him his real name so that only he could hear him, in the ears of the beast man. Dance Slave knows the real name of the line, but what he didn't normally talk about was his own resistance to naming his real name.

But behind the heart of such a line, the beast man spilled his white teeth when he heard the name of the line.

"... isn't that a good name..."

"Amen to that. Your name?"

"Garth... it's Garth from Lamba Wool... he was the commander here..."

"Right. Do you want some slack?

"Oh... please..."

Release the hand where the line was holding the beast man. Lay the beast man on the floor. Stand up, and the sword will be gently pulled out.

"One before that..."

"What?

"Watch out for that commander... he was summoning demons to use them. The demon was very strong again."

"Demons... what kind of guys?

"I've never even seen it. I've been to the Great Forest in the south... but they weren't the ones I'd even seen there. I don't know what the hell that was... I just think I was having nightmares..."

"... anything else left to say?

Seeing the gradual loss of light from Gauls's eyes, did you step on it that it would not last any longer? Rhine heard what he had to say.

"No, especially... my wife and son would be dead too..."

"Please, man... I don't mean to clear our minds... but for the sake of those who live from now on, take them down..."

"Oh, and I took it upon myself. So sleep in peace."

Are you relieved to hear the words? Garth smiled so calmly that he didn't think he was dying, his eyes closed. The sword of the line that is swung down there. The beast man known as Garth finished his raw...

"Are you glad?

"What?"

"Say something like that cheap contract. It's like destroying 50,000 Beasts, isn't it? How can you do that?"

"But did you have anything else to say on that occasion? And my feelings are real."

"Ho."

Dance Slave saw the look on the face of the line, but at first glance nothing seems different. But I guess there's a whirlpool of boiled magma-like rage inside him. Dance Slave thought as he looked at the line that maybe he was a hotter man than he thought he was.

"Oh, my God, you're... you're disgusting to hang on to people's faces."

"Nothing. Your face was just funny"

"He's rude. What's so funny about this beautiful guy's face?"

"You just look like a beggar."

"What!?

The line nearly ate it, but I didn't even feel like making fun of it that far by putting it in front of this pile of corpses on the boulder, and I seem to have stopped. Dance Slave is the same thing, so I just left this much to tease.

"So, what are we gonna do?

"It is decided. It's a boarded ship, we're going to see the capital. I need to see it straight away."

"That's good... but don't get me involved. If you don't go home, Ray fans will cry.

"I know. I don't want her to cry."

"Do what's right..."

"Hey, let's go."

And the two pointed their way to Geddahard, the capital.
