The Branded Female Fencer
Demon Swordsman, Part 5 - Threatening
"Don't make a sound"
"Don't even pull out your sword. Reflect on thunder."
The Alphilis, the mercenaries, and the villagers were getting out of the storm. Soon it will be obvious to hook up to the lizards' vigilance net, but it is time to move on despite the storm in order to delay that time a little.
In it.
"Lisa, how are you feeling?"
"Fine, but not. Pretty much back to normal. You'll be fine now."
"I hope so. Don't ever push me."
"Lisa is responsible for this. I'm so sorry..."
Lisa soggy, so Alphilis smacks her with her elbows to encourage her.
"Nothing to worry about, Lisa. If we do it well, we might get more than we expected."
"? What do you mean?
"Well look. How's the sensor doing better than that?
"Yeah, you're perfectly fine."
"Then report to me as soon as the lizard is hooked on the sensor"
Copy that, sir.
Lisa nods and Alphilis tries to get back in front of the line. Along the way, I find maples nervous in vain.
"Maple"
"Wahia!
When Alphilis spoke, Maple raised his mind.
"What, give me a weird voice"
"Lord Alphilis, do not threaten me!
No, I didn't threaten you.
Alphilis had been watching maple with his jitty eyes for a while, but, most importantly,
"Maple, are you... scared of thunder?
"... ma, no way. There's no way, is there?
Whoever saw such maple behavior was suspicious. When Alphilis thinks she's cute like that, I'll wait a while until the thunder strikes. When you lose as much and the thunder goes off...
"Hi-yep!
And the frightened maple could be seen as expected. Satisfied with the sight as you can imagine, Alphilis goes back to his place.
"So the maple that sees the impulse is somewhat unsettling. Convinced."
And so on and so on.
That's how the line kept going for a while. Even though it's still warm, is it also a sign of autumn coming? Cold rain hits the line. Young children and others are deprived of their strength, but they still don't divulge one dissatisfaction as to what the end would be of crying out.
You couldn't stand the cold in it, and the baby finally starts crying out loud. A mercenary yells at that voice.
"Shut that child up!
"Hey, don't yell at me!
"Oh, my God, this woman!
"Shut up, Gustav. Your voice is bigger."
"Knock."
Rosetta controls me and the mercenaries shut up. And that's when Lisa puts on Alphilis' back.
"Alfie, I'm here."
"From which?
"All directions. Apparently, lizards were creating an enclosure. Not so fast yet, but I think if the distance gets clogged, it'll come all at once."
"You're just out of sight in the hills up ahead. Maybe over that hill?
Lisa nods at the words.
"Exactly. Do you mind if I don't inform the mercenaries?"
"It's okay. I don't care what you tell them, either way, they do the same thing."
"I hope Alfi's plan fits well."
"I think it's getting worse at the moment. That's what they don't do with the yang, and the horses, they don't use it on you, do they?
"... I see"
Alphilis is right, the mercenaries are not using horses. This was a strange story because Lisa had sensed what the mercenaries looked like as horses when she woke up in the morning. And the mercenaries gave up their horses to the villagers.
"Why don't they use horses"
"You explained one reason, didn't you? The other one is a very timid creature, so if you get attacked simultaneously from around you, you'll panic and you won't be able to take the reins. You have to be a trained user or a trained horse. Conversely, confused horses are dangerous and cluttered."
"I see. Then the emerald"
"I've already got you ahead of me."
Lisa was also in a complicated mood because Alphilis laughed. It's a pretty close operation to beating, but it might be good in the middle of no time or preparation.
"(Well, worst case scenario, let's just say we run away)"
While Lisa thought about it, the lizards' siege nets were narrowing. And finally, one of the villagers takes a lizard in his sight.
"Lizard!
"Are you here?"
Rosetta reacts.
"All right, you guys are on schedule! Run to the woods!
Rosetta's Decree I, the mercenaries began to run toward the woods at first sight. Naturally, it is about the villagers and so on. From the outset, Rosetta and the others were going to hustle the villagers and flee into the woods. The forest in front of us was densely littered with trees, and the lizards stepped in saying they couldn't come in. For that reason, the mercenaries do not even have horses. They're in the way to get into the woods, and they know horses are very frightened of lizards, as Alphilis predicted. On the proposal, the horses lost control in fright of the lizard's rising oddity, and the villagers were in a state of confusion.
Of course, some of the mercenaries would be affected by it, but they were still fleeing at first sight. They were originally gathered for this request. That's what Rosetta worked out to be able to control, but now that she's done with the request, she doesn't give them a sense of union or anything. There are no mercenaries whose lives are unusually important to them. It was then that the heads of the mercenaries reached the woods with the attacking villagers on their asses.
"All right, Rosetta's Anego is right. I got away with it!
"I feel a little bad for the villagers."
You know, I don't have any luck.
"Well yeah... what!?
One of the mercenaries screams. A sudden roar and thunderbolt appeared in front of him. The leading humans were blown away, paralyzed, and most of the people who fled the ordeal nodded with their heads. Rosetta and some of the others managed to get through just by turning their backs, but the thunderbolt appeared in front of them without any foretaste. Even Rosetta is surprised.
"What? What happened!?
"The power of the Spirit Sword."
When Rosetta woke herself up all the time, Alphilis stood behind her at some point.
"Hey, you guys. Don't you think it's worse than keeping the villagers in scattered food and running away to give them away?
"I know! It must have been my life, right? The weak guy's gonna have to die in this garshron. Yikes!
"That's true. But would you like to die, too?
Alphilis' voice is awesome. In that tone, I accidentally blued Rosetta as well.
"You're that girl with the Spirit Sword, you listen to everything I say. So if I told you to quessy every lizard, I wouldn't hesitate to. Oh, don't tell me to give it a try, okay? Because if I tried it, it would really be charcoal."
"Chi, so? What do you want Atai and the others to do?
"Quick and helpful, Rosetta."
Alphilis shall be the nickel. That utter smile scared the mercenaries around. Regrets that Rosetta had also insulted the Alphilis in front of her again. I just realized that Alphilis was going through more training than I imagined.
"(I've never seen a guy laugh like this in a situation like this. Totally somewhere, the line on my head is broken)"
Nor will Rosetta's regrets stand ahead any longer. This is the quickest way to hear Alpha Reese's proposal. That much calculation can also be done by Rosetta.
"Get rid of lizards"
"How?
"Just now our sensors sensed a lizard that looked like a boss. Defeat it and you should retreat. If there's a group of orders that exist."
"What if we still don't retreat?
Rosetta stares at Alphilis.
"It would be a war of attrition, wouldn't it? We'll fight until the lizards give us up."
"Ha, I won't stop talking about it! What an operation full of holes?
"Oh, Rosetta's operation is worse, isn't it?
Alphilis laughs with pleasure. Rosetta rounded her eyes to unexpected words.
"What?
"You know what the trees make up that forest?
"You know what!
"It wouldn't be prestigious either. The trees that make up that forest are more or less colts. My people checked it out for sure. Colt doesn't strain his roots too much, so even humans can pull together about 10 adults, and they often fall out. That lizard could push you down without bitterness."
"And lizards are originally forest creatures. I'm fine with the narrow spots, and they could come after me flat in the woods. If that happens, it's a summer bug flying in the fire. You guys are."
"... Chickshaw"
Rosetta only maligned the words of Alphilis. It's undeniable that Rosetta and I were losing judgment again in the long band, but we certainly couldn't figure out how to just fight and win. Rosetta was originally the type of warrior who hated to escape. I've been running away for a long time and there's nothing wrong with me. I believe that living is fighting and defeating our enemies. That's why this escape was also a bitter choice, but it still didn't turn out to be a Loc thing.
Rosetta looks into the eyes of Alphilis. With a large army of lizards looming on its back, it's like an unwavering eye. Rosetta saw an alphilis there like someone else until yesterday.
"Do we have to do this"
"Exactly. If you're a more mercenary than that, you should work with the intention of giving back to the villagers for all the good thoughts you've had."
"It's not a pattern! How dare you vomit like a saint prince!?
"Oh, you're not such a good man. I am. 'Cause if you guys only have the strength to be ravaged by lizards, you're gonna run away. So if you don't want to be abandoned, fight hard, okay?
Mercenaries learn to fight Alphilis with a smile on their face. The mercenaries were beginning to regret their involvement with humans.
"What a woman!?
"It would be even more so now. Isn't that more or less what you guys did to the villagers? Do you have any idea how the villagers feel?
"Besides, if you guys were a little more decent, I'd have the same attitude. But I'm not as sweet as condoning them. If you want us to treat ourselves like humans, I want you to show me a lot of evidence."
If Alphilis pulled out his sword and watched him set it up and everyone looked back, there was already a herd of lizards looming behind him. Daron, Miranda and Aerial were struggling, but they were the best to buy some time. Instead, Alphilis, who had a meeting with the village chief in advance, had succeeded in letting the villagers flee towards the forest with minimal damage.
"Well, shall I temper you? Honest."
"Damn! Remember later!?
"If only we were alive to each other. Let's go!
Alphilis and Rosetta took the mercenaries and tried to replace them with the villagers to penetrate the lizards.
