The Branded Female Fencer

The Alphilis and the others had a peaceful winter. Those are very peaceful days. Alphilis worked while Ekla slapped him in the ass, sometimes Miranda and Fenna visited and bickered, Lisa and Jake's friends were obnoxious and sometimes chilled by the people around them. It is, of course, a three-fold return sentence for Lisa later. They seem to have a plan to live together once the money has been put together to some extent, and if Jake's independence as a Temple Knight is confirmed, it will happen soon enough.

Also, Aerial, Rosetta, and Dorothy will work on sword training, and Tasha and Venn will be consulted on military operations. At night again, Lakia and Maia also mixed up for a drink, stopped Rosetta trying to spit on the man immediately, and stopped Aerial, who could wind up all the money on the spot with a bet. If it's even more exciting, Emerald sings, Dance Slaves and Jessia dances, and Irmatal blows fire and Impulse gives out various sparks to show off a little bit of bending. Daron and, surprisingly, Rhine had a great view of it, and they were quietly watching the warm atmosphere of the mercenary regiment.

And when the banquet is missed, Ilmatal sings out, but this is another terrible tone, and the banquet ends there for the most part. When it still doesn't fit, Larna comes out and forces the people who are using dark magic to punish her. What exactly would it do would be a somewhat cruel expression, so I decide to keep it self-regulating.

Alphilis and the others were at their peak.

This peak didn't know where to stay. Neither do any visitors, such as Arnelia in the winter, but things have been different all this year. The fact that Alphilis and the others quickly took the Demon King was well publicized in the surrounding area by Lisa, and because Alphilis gave very favourable conditions about the treatment of female mercenaries, the ears and ears of the mercenaries gathered in Arnelia with us. By the end of winter, the total number of mercenaries (Jaegers) had already tried to exceed 300.

It should be noted that the ratio of men to women in the mercenary regiment is almost one-to-one, which is largely due to the conditions offered by Alphilis. That condition shall not differ in any way from the basic remuneration of a female mercenary and a male mercenary, who promised to give even women the opportunity to be active, if they had the ability, and also to offer compensation at all costs. Besides, the men's and women's quarters are by basics. The dining room and other living areas were common, but women, whether mercenaries or not, were well taken care of as women.

This was very novel as a mercenary regiment at the time, and only a fairly small number of the Knights are doing that. Alexandria, for example, did, but Romansland also had little difference between men and women in the army until Anneclose emerged as a samurai. So Louis and others sometimes go with men, such as taking a water bath after training. It is true that there were just few such people as Louis, who tried to get their hands on her of prestigious nobility, and Louis himself did not let them do so, but felt the considerable obstruction and shame of what Louis would not even speak of.

Even Louis did, so most of them were often forced on personal assignments because they were pretty close to freaks at the time, such as trying to belong to a mercenary regiment with a woman. When it comes to female mercenaries belonging to the regiment, the reality is that there was only such a degree of recognition that they were mistresses of the leader of that mercenary regiment, or common whores.

Alphilis knew such a reality that he had improved his treatment. This proposal was something that Miranda and Rosetta also advanced, and that Alphilis himself had thought about. The effects were therefore immense, and it was decided that the Alphilis would bring even more talented people together. Moral men first gathered in the mercenary regiment of the Alphilis ahead of men like those who would be fished at interest.

Furthermore, there is plenty of time this time because it is winter and the requests are modest, and there is no need to focus on the human quality that gathers. Some of the mercenaries gathered today were just like village daughters, even holding swords for the first time. If Alphilis asked them about their situation, they could only choose whether they would be disgusted with the life of the farmer, become slaves again because of their difficulties with life itself, or be sold to Tarram. It was the first time Alphilis had ever known that his unknown daughters would not wait for many choices in their lives.

Such as that, Alphilis asked the guild to help him give them a request that they could do while working out, and he brokered the job. "My livelihood is to make my own living" was the policy of the mercenary regiment of Alphilis. Fortunately, Arnelia also had many peaceful jobs, such as dishwashing, child protection and the underwork of carrying loads, small jobs being like mountains.

I have noticed Alphilis in such a life. Alphilis rarely even had time to go outside Arnelia because of the amount of administrative work he had done, so he put more effort into enriching the regiment than he received the request. Specifically, they include the enhancement of training methods, the dedication of a healthy diet, a study group on tactics, and a sword club. In addition, Alphilis took advantage of the high level of his upbringing and set up a place where he taught various people to read and write, but what surprised Alphilis was the low human literacy rate in the world.

Only about 30% of men could write even if they could read the letters, and about 30% of those who could not read the letters themselves existed. Also, the literacy rate was naturally about 10% lower among women who rarely attended public service. Asking them how they had lived, they said the world could work it out if they could make a simple gold account. Even if I can't read the letters, if I can read alone in town or village, I can handle it. I also asked the farmers and the townspeople that they thought they could live if they could barter the worst, and they had no idea of the market for the crops they had made. When Alphilis told Miranda about it, the administrative superintendent entered immediately and those who had reduced their payments to farmers for fraudulent transactions were punished.

In the wake of those circumstances, Alphilis learned of the harshness of the world. Alphilis found out how happy it was to be educated by Aldrius like himself. She immediately pulled off various educational systems in order to improve the intelligence and upbringing of women. Such initiatives as teaching academia to civilians were in fact unparalleled in the history of the continent, but Alphilis did not know that. It was much later that her efforts would be appreciated.

In doing so, a celebration from Kazas arrived at the source of the Alphilis. I waited around Rosetta for a quick glimpse of what kind of gold eye it was, but the contents were maps. East from the centre of the continent. It is a considerably more detailed map than what is commercially available, from its major cities to Warcraft habitats such as forests. The biggest feature of the map of Kazas was that high and low differences were noted. I guess he actually walked, or let the people he hired walk, and recorded it. The map was written on so many sheets of paper that it wouldn't fit in dozens or hundreds.

"What the hell. It's just a piece of paper."

"No, this is... wow"

"Alphilis, your friends have amazing people... this is hard to replace with the same amount of gold coins"

It was only at this time that Alphilis and Ekla understood the value of this map. Neither can the admiration of the two of us be forced. A map of land I've never been to is quite informative. We know which route to march on, and it will help us select camps, withdraw, or decide on the main battlefield.

Unlike traveling in small numbers, traveling in large numbers chooses the path. That would not be the case if people just went through, but in fact, in addition to transporting weapons and food, there are also transporting bedding and cooking supplies. If we are to assume that we are going to war, we need to ensure that means of movement are secured, and we need to think about food, weapons replenishment, etc. It was Miranda's or Rosetta's advice that the army that hired me wouldn't even replenish my weapon, but I shouldn't expect it.

Alphilis will be spending some time looking at these maps with Ekla. In that way, their winter went roughly peacefully with some minor requests, etc.
