The Branded Female Fencer
Sudden First Formation, Part 5 - Extraction of Alphilis
"Damn, that's fast!
"On mountain roads, there's more to the beast than us."
"You know what I mean!
Rosetta comes to Daron running next door. But Daron was right, and while the Demon King was great and helpful, he was light and gradually moving away from the Rosettas. Dallon might be faster if it's a straight line. However, four-legged walking was more stable on undulating mountain roads than two-legged walking. Whenever Rosetta or Daron packs the distance, they get their feet taken off somewhere on an unstable path and out of balance. And the distance from each other was repeated, like one step after the other.
"We can get away with this!
"Right. We've already left the others behind."
"What if I'm calm?!?
"Don't worry. Our captain isn't sweet enough to miss the enemy here."
What Daron caught in his eyes was an alphilis waiting ahead of them. Before that, there is Dorothy.
"Ho, it's true. The captain's right, he's here!
"So I told you, Dorothy"
"Su, awesome. What kind of magic did the Captain use?
"Hehe, I kept the terrain in mind in advance. They were actually moving into bows, even if they were meant to be moving in a straight line. We got ahead of ourselves by having Sylphide in a straight line there. That's all."
"I don't know, guys, that's amazing!?
Dorothy stared at Alphilis with her glittering eyes. A clear sense of respect was seen there, and it was well understood beside me that I was staring at Alphilis as if I saw something divine as well. Alphilis also gave a slightly ticklish look as to whether he felt that, but when he noticed the demon king's footsteps and vibrations, he instantly returned to the warrior's expression.
"I'm here, Dorothy. Ready and ready?
"I'm scared, but I'll do what the captain says. You only have a sword!
Dorothy sneezed her face full of scuffs and laughed at Alphilis. Its shoulders are trembling subtly, but when Alphilis put his hand on his shoulder, the tremor was gradually subsiding as well. I'm sure you really trust Alphilis. Also Dorothy herself is in great condition with her liver.
Eventually, just as the tremor subsided, I saw the Demon King fall into view and make a run for it here. The Demon King, who runs up a slope full of covetousness, forbids fear, even if he is a warring soldier. Alphilis and I'm scared inside. Still, Alphilis is also putting a "no curse" limit on this battle. Members are not the only ones who take risks.
Dorothy, not yet.
"... ahhh"
Alphilis commands Dorothy in a whisper. The visible demon king figure gradually grows larger. But neither Alphilis nor Dorothy kept their hands on a bunch of swords, making it slight. The only thing that moves is Dorothy's nodding.
Dorothy, not yet.
"Aye."
"Not yet. Not yet..."
"... aye"
"Not yet... okay, go!
When the Demon King jumped in in in time, which was not even 10 steps away, Dorothy stormed toward the Demon King in a straight line, not letting out her sword. The Demon King reacts perfectly to the object of vision that suddenly begins to move.
"Guarlululu!"
"Riaaaaa!
The right hand swung by the Demon King swung down toward Dorothy, but Dorothy was literally jumping into the Demon King's pocket faster than that, slinging forward and definitely poking a sword in the Demon King's underbelly.
The demon king roared in agony, but the roar ended halfway. And by the time Dorothy looked back and looked at the Demon King, his neck was because Alphilis had slapped him down to one sword.
"Captain!"
"Safe!?
Teammates gather one after the other for magic instead of arrows that show the victory raised by Alphilis. There was a demon king lying there spraying massive amounts of blood and an alphilis standing to be brought to that giant. Dorothy, who is not excited and cold by her side, is talking to her hard somehow.
Alphilis leaves that opponent to Lisa when she gently puts her hands on Dorothy's head like that, and herself assembles the platoon captain.
"Captain, what the hell is this all about?
"Talk later. First, after the battle, report the damage. Make this a habit. Aerie, you know what I'm talking about?
"Oh. I, no damage to Daron's squad. Minor injuries to Rosetta and Lloyd's squad 1 each. Minor injury to Grapheth's squad 2. Minor wound to Milnay's squad. Two, serious wound one."
"I see. Everybody, for sure?
Everyone nodded at the words of Alphilis. Upon satisfaction with the report, Alphilis instructed each platoon leader on the spot to process the battle after battle, and he began to prepare himself to bring home the Demon King's neck. There are reports to Miriazal, but if you report to the Alliance, it will be a big report without Demon King certification. So did Alphilis' own ranking, but she wanted a little money that the regiment was free to spend.
Lisa calls the girlfriend from behind.
"Alfi, were you aiming for this result?
"What?
"This flow, it's everything."
That look on Lisa's face was like she saw something she wasn't comfortable with. Alphilis guessed what Lisa wanted to say, and he laughed and showed it.
"To some extent. It's a little overdone and scary though. But it's only because of Lisa's research. With sensors that can tell the terrain, it's a real treasure."
"Well, that's that if you have Lisa's abilities, you don't have any making. But what would you have done if the Demon King had fled in other directions?
"I was thinking a lot depending on the direction I ran away from. Because I naturally have the terrain around me in mind."
Lisa opened her mouth pompously as Alphilis slapped her finger on her head to show it. Sure, I wrote this surrounding terrain on a big mess on Alphilis' orders, but he had it all in his head.
Speaking of which, I couldn't see Alphilis while Rosetta and Aerial were out on reconnaissance, but Lisa was convinced that was what happened. Alphilis was on reconnaissance again himself. Still, the question remains.
"You let Dorothy, the amateur, do something dangerous, didn't you? What was that?
"Oh, that's a safe measure unless Dorothy hesitates. Creatures with more than four legs will either go straight ahead or snap away with their forelegs when an enemy appears while driving. Especially a big warcraft like Gross Alum. That demon king knew humans would use blades, so he stepped on them and said he wouldn't make a run for it. If the Demon King came forward, he would have instructed Dorothy to jump and run.
Which hand the Demon King might use, it's easy to read. In his case, he was developed because his left hand sees him, but he's powerful, but he's not fast. So you didn't use much of your left hand against us in the middle of a fight. That distance should shake your right hand off aggressively. I checked to see how the battle was going. Grasp Dorothy's speed, and if you don't even get the timing right, it's an attack you can't possibly hit. Interment and breathing are the depths of battle. Didn't you even tell Lisa?
"Right. He said," My master said that. "
"Oh, yeah?
Lisa remembered her reliability as she sighed as Alphilis suddenly looked like one of the bad guys, but watched the war as Alphilis thought that far without alarm. And from the shade of the tree Lunatica appeared steadily, and gave Lisa a glimpse and left. For the sake of time, Alphilis deployed not only Aerial, but Lunatica as well.
Even more so, the members had asked Alphilis how he had severed the neck of a demon king with a blade and little scratch. According to her explanation, it was due in large part to the stiffness reinforcement of the blade by a metallic magic sword. It was about the alphilis so-called preliminary sorcery, but what Lisa would later find out was that it was a fairly high-difficulty sorcery. By releasing the curse many times, Alphilis has increased his natural and usable magic stature and total quantity, no, he remembered how to use high-difficulty sorcery.
And the Alphilis, who finished their first battle, triumph in exasperation. They talked about how they had worked, and those who had not been able to do much were pleased with their own safety. None of the dead. This was a fitting feat for Alphilis to be recognized as captain of the regiment. It would have been very good as a mercenary battle again.
But while the floating winning mood, Alphilis had fired three members. They couldn't keep what Alphilis said, and those who ran ahead and were wounded. At least that's what Alphilis decided. Some of them were Milnay, who served as platoon captains. When she left, it just got a little noisy.
Thus is the deceit of that time.
