The Branded Female Fencer

Sudden First Formation, Part 6 - Direction of the Regiment

"I'm not convinced!

"I'm not asking for your satisfaction. My orders are absolute."

Two days after defeating the Demon King, we can return to Arnelia as early as tomorrow. It was when each of us was about to spend watchful and free time after eating. In the midst of hearing a pleasant laugh from here, the collusion was suddenly blocked by the hysterical voice of Milnay. The opponent of the argument was Alphilis.

Milnay stood too high and, by contrast, Alphilis was quietly sitting back on the right stump with a warm drink. Lisa sits quietly on that back. Don't you increasingly care about Alphilis not moving one of those eyebrows? Milnay ate more Alphilis.

"Why don't you need me? It certainly hasn't worked out a lot either because it was in the second line, but still..."

"You can't think that way, Milnay. That's what knights think, not mercenaries think. Our first priority is to survive and welcome tomorrow. The consequences and fame are second to none. I told you that before."

"Having chosen the path of being a warrior, don't you want to make a name for yourself?

"We'll all have more or less of those thoughts. I have one too. But, you know, take a stand on the side of being forced to do that. Though your troops did not leave the dead today, the injured are the most common. This is the result of your battle without regard for your men. Not this time. But in you as you are now, I'm sure you'll kill a lot of your people. It might work, but you can't keep people beside me who might kill a lot of your people. That's not where I want it."

"I mean, you think I'm unnecessary to the regiment?

"Speak to the entity."

Milnay was shuddering her hands with anger, but eventually when she realized that Alphilis was totally unwilling to ask her opinion, she took the luggage at hand and turned her heels back and left. And after a while I heard horse groaning from somewhat far away, and found out that Milnay had left somewhere despite the night.

"You don't have to say anything now."

Lisa speaks to Alphilis' back-to-back alignment.

"It's the same late or early. Then you'd better hurry. I didn't think you were leaving at night. You're out-of-the-box, aren't you, her? Do you think we can make it to town?

"If the younger captain tells you that much, it will hurt your pride, too. But there's no need to worry too much about it, as there's no way out of milnay around it. What will she do now?

"In the circumstances of the house, mercenaries will continue."

"What would you do if she came out as an enemy?

Lisa spoke with a slight look back at Alphilis. Alphilis was sipping a drink and had a little time to respond.

"If it's an enemy, I'll kill it. If you're on my side, I'll do it right. Don't ask the obvious."

"Is it so easy to break it off?

"It's not easy. Because I was somewhat prepared to build a mercenary regiment. That's why I was worried, and I hesitated to talk. We don't even know what's going on a year away with the people we're discussing so amicably right now."

"... for the first time now, I thought I was a little scared of you, Alfie. But what if I become the enemy?

"You make me imagine something nasty."

Alphilis just looked at Lisa with her face up, but when Lisa stood there saying nothing, she tried to leave the scene. And a word when you leave.

"It's not a good idea to carry too much. Dirt work, especially when carried by the captain himself, will often not work. Use Rosetta or me well, Alfie."

"Yeah, I think I'll have to ask you sometime. I'm gonna get you thoroughly dirty, you guys."

"Yogore is enough for Rosetta, but I guess you can't say that either"

Lisa laughed a little because she heard Rosetta sneezing from afar, leaving the spot. Aerial comes to Alphilis instead.

"Alfie, we're all a little upset."

"Because you chased Milnay? Am I being blamed?

"No, it was more of a high praise from Lloyd and Grafes. Some praised the captain for having a thorough claim. We were just talking about how Milnay fought a little harder."

"Fine then. Instead, I asked Lisa how it was, so I cut it out now."

"Huh?"

Aerial couldn't hear the last words of Alphilis, so he overheard them, but Alphilis never answered them.

Such an alphilis tells us something unrelated to the question of Aerial.

"Have you talked about a king who used to make irrevocable big mistakes, who cried and slaughtered someone who was his own brother and prime minister? Though I'm on teaching as an example of how to correct military discipline."

"No... you didn't hear that."

"Yes. This case is close to that. Somehow mind you."

Alphilis drinks up the beverage in his hand, and he stays up. And when they urged Aerial with their hands, they walked away.

"Alfie, will you continue to do this?

"No, winter is coming soon. It will be difficult to get a set of winter gear in place, and in winter the method of warfare itself changes from the way it travels. I'll take it depending on the content if you ask me, but I don't basically fight aggressively.

Besides, there will soon be Ekra's nominal knights, and there was a report the other day that Friedelinde has officially decided to borrow a knight. They will arrive as early as a month later. Their reception, plus new and enhanced equipment, formal registration of regiments, and selection of executives. What you do is like a mountain. It might not be a big fight for a while. "

"I see. And I haven't even decided on the name of the regiment."

Aerial spoke a simple question, but Alphilis had a decent face. Aerial asks back unexpectedly if the look was unexpected.

"What, Alfi didn't think of the name of his own mercenary regiment?

"Can't it be" Mercenaries of Alphilis "?

"No, that's not good enough."

"What's so wrong with my name!

"I don't think so. This is more of a name for a mercenary regiment, if it's not painfully impressive and fitting..."

They were the Alphilis returning to their tents with such sudden talk of no other love.
