The Branded Female Fencer

"Alfie, I locked up the survivor."

"I'll ask."

Alphilis was in post-battle processing. Interrogation, or allowances, of those who surrendered. Confirmation of fellow damage. We also collect our rewards for spending them. The recovery of rewards is actually about 70%. There were many who the bandits had put into their nostalgia, and many of them had burned because of the use of fire on them. And the number of bandits defeated goes up to 300. And 200 fewer people surrendered than that. Around 200-300 people also fled the earlier fighting and were considered to have returned to their stronghold (Azit).

For the trap you set, there are many enemies who have fled. This is because Alphilis commanded those who flee not to kill. The aim was not to exterminate the bandits altogether, nor was Alphilis so brutal in character. They are sneaking after the people who escaped to it. Because there was also the possibility that they would go straight back to the Bandits stronghold. It also sneaks Renatica apart into Bünsnell, the capital of Surasmund. This had another aim for Alphilis.

And reports came from fellow inmates who were questioning the captured bandits. Rosetta will report to you.

"Alfie's right. There's no such thing as Obres, the leader of the enemy."

"I knew it. According to Rhine's research, this bandit group has left the regular army twice. There's no way these people can get hit so lightly."

"Right. I don't have too many teeth, and I tend to shy away from swinging swords. I'm talking about the purity of Atai."

"Very pure."

The utility flies flutter and stops on the shoulder of the alphilis. She sighed loudly as she dressed like she could even hit Alphilis in the head.

"Ah, I'm tired! The air in that city, if it gets dirty, it won't."

"Good day, Uty. How'd it go with Brunsnell?

"Where Renatica explored it, there's about an Alfie stare."

Uti starts talking with his cheek cane on Alphilis' head. She was infiltrating Bünsnell with Renatica at the behest of Alphilis. And I just came back with a report from Renatica.

"As Alfi stared, these bandits have a connection to the Slasmund Army."

"I knew it. I thought the types of weapons and protective equipment used were good for bandits. No matter how tactical it is in the first place, what a civilian is basically a bandit. Most people are not trained in martial arts either. There's no point in winning if those guys are inferior to weapons."

"I don't know about the fairy eagle around there though. There are just a lot of bandits and bums in Bünsnell where Renatica explored. It seemed like they were mainly in touch with someone in the country, but I still don't know who. Looks like there's another intimate meeting around tonight, so Lunatica said she'd explore. He wants Lisa's help, if possible."

"Well, if Lisa were here, could you ask her what the secret meeting was about?"

"Unless there's magic."

Make a sober point as Uty sits on the shoulder of Alphilis.

"Uty, have you seen the face of a boy named Obres from the Bandits?

"Yeah, you're apparently a pretty cautious kid. They're all surrogates. That's a different person every time, too. What we have in common..."

"What do you say?

"I wonder if they were all children."

To Uty's words, Alphilis and Rosetta looked at each other. Alphilis wonders if children will act as deputies for the country, but also for clandestine meetings.

But it doesn't look like Uty's making a joke.

"Even the eagle doubted his own eyes and ears at first. But I'm negotiating properly. I'm not gonna tell you anything extra, so maybe we have a meeting in advance."

"It's hard to believe in Russia. I want to see it with these eyes."

"Well, I agree, but what are we going to do, Alfie? As far as this battle is concerned, the Alliance is going to send an Assessor, and we're going to have to get the Admiral's head out.

"I have an idea about that, too. Rosetta, give me your ear."

Rosetta lent her ears as Alphilis told her, but those red eyes gleam in Alphilis' words.

"Well then again... Alfie, you're a bad woman"

"I don't want Rosetta to tell me."

"No, I'm worse off than Atai for losing my head. Then the people Atai will take are the Seekers, Aerial, Emerald and Tasha. Around there?

"Yeah, I'll have Rhine and Lisa, Lakia, and Dorothy here. Besides, there are only 20 of us. Please take them all later."

"Copy that. It's obvious that there are too many of them. When's the rendezvous?

"When the white moon sets three times, I'll be sending in the utility again."

"Then Atai and the others will try to keep a piece on before. See you in a while."

"Yes."

That's how the mercenary regiment of Alphilis disappeared. All that was left was about 20 elites. Besides...

"I've cleared one end."

"Good luck"

Talk to Rakia with two of the hoods where Alphilis was waiting in the shadows of the rocks. The person in the hood politely returns it to Alphilis. In addition to the Alpha Reese, Rakia arrived here with two Hood men on board. It was yesterday.

Lakia was somewhat angry that it was used instead of a convenient way of getting around, but she doesn't hate flying per se. And as for myself getting free meals, I couldn't complain. I think it's time for Lakia to make a simple request as a mercenary herself. But it could not be achieved in the opposite direction of Maia, and to be honest, in the mercenary corps, Lakia had a little time to spare. So it was a pleasure for Lakia to be able to go away on request this time, but if it were to leave a message like this, I would have liked to give it some slack.

Alphilis also speaks with some dissatisfaction with her, but still gives priority to the Hood figures. Because this is the real request.

"Well, there's almost a piece of surface request. From here on out, let's say we can help you with your request."

"Yes, thank you very much. We're just going to clean up most of it, so I just want to ask for backup."

"That would be fine then. I hope it's easy."

"Yeah, really"

Saying so, the hood figure took the hood. That face under the hood is - Elsa. Next door, of course, was her knight, Eliza.

She smiles with a gentle smile when she takes the hood.

"You've never done anything with Alphilis before."

"Well, only Miranda got used to my face."

"Right. But it might be rare for both of us to talk."

"It's more like the first time, isn't it? But I think Elsa's got a harder look than before. Perhaps you don't want to talk more about people than I do, but isn't Elsa tired?

Elsa returned the words with only a smile. Alphilis doesn't know the details of Elsa. I only hear that Elsa's predecessor was unhappy and that she was supposed to represent her. Of course, Alphilis knows Elsa is the archbishop, but Miranda is in a better position within the association, so I don't see the need for Alphilis to be. It would be doubtful if the Archbishop were to ask the Chancellor and others whether the Alphilis could be the archbishop.

And Elsa's hateful feelings sprouted within herself have not disappeared either. But apart from that, this assignment was important. Because Elsa can't be proud to pinch her personal feelings at work, and I have no doubt that this mission is more important than the Archbishop's own hidden journey.

Elsa responded to the Alphilis under the guise of calm.

"More Alphilis than that. I'll explain what I'm going to do, okay?

"Yeah. I've only heard enough to bring Elsa and Eliza in, too, so thank you."

"So let's have an upcoming meeting."

That's what they started talking about.
