The Branded Female Fencer

The Hall of Return (Instead), Part 22 - Siege

"Do you have a minute?

What an impulse it has been to pinch my mouth. She and Emerald were left behind. Fighting evil spirits is out of the way, so dressed to be protected by the Sisters, they didn't participate in the fight, but watching the discussion disputed, it seemed that some impulses, usually indifferent to their surroundings, could no longer be there.

"You guys already seem to be putting together a story in the direction of building a base, but don't think I'm a bad guy"

"Why?

"I used to cut into the castle and fight a few times."

Those who were there objected to the words of Impulse. For whoever found out more about Impulse was not in Arnelianism except Rafferty and Aristotle. Belliache also knows about her as the Devil's Sword of Thunder, but she didn't know it until its origin.

Impulse didn't even brag, he went on to talk.

"The term 'castle' is quite a special juncture. I snuck up on Captain Rafferty earlier, and I wonder if anyone in this actually stepped inside the 'castle' and fought? They still have it in the dossier, but it's a big difference between asking and actually seeing it.

The first is to correctly recognize that this space is quite convenient for the maker. The construction of the "castle" takes a very long time and, for the demanding conditions until it is established, it can be developed quite advantageously once it is made. As just now, for example, spaces can also be connected to each other. I don't think we're going to have that much freedom to connect spaces in the streets we freely aim for. It just seems like it's possible to set up a place. So if this one sits still, for example, suddenly creates a rift around it, and places the demon, how could that be possible? "

"So what do you want me to do? So isn't it the same everywhere you go?

One of the monks asked a question. His doubts are best. Impulse answered with a strange face.

"Yes. You're right, it doesn't make so much difference where you go. Then you'd better move on towards the center of the enemy at all. If this one is moving, it won't be easy to narrow it down as an enemy.

Fortunately, this force was dispersed. I know it's where the other one was meant to be, but dealing with dispersed forces at the same time is difficult as a matter of concentration. The same reason that there is no omnidirectional attack with magic. That's the limit of being a creature. No matter how many evil spirits you're dealing with, you're a human being.

All you have to do is know the properties of this space. "Castle" also reflects the spirit, personality and taste of the Maker. If the mental structure is simple, the tricks and directions are also simple. If your personality is broken, the structure of the space is also doomed. If your taste is brutal, then the trap you can set will also be brutal. "

"I see... so how do you see this space?

To Belliache's question, Impulse expressed his own thoughts after a lot of trouble.

"I can't say much because I don't have much information... but I have the impression that he's a real pain in the ass. You use evil spirits, so that sex is definitely evil. But at the same time, looking at the trick at the entrance, it also seems innocent. You even sound childish.

And as you disperse us, we're very prepared. But as was the way Ibiltrent attacked me earlier, the way he attacked me since I hunted him down is very naive. If we'd done more sloppily, this one would have done a lot of damage. Yet while keeping nearly 10 Ibiltorrents together, it was like a non-unitary raid. I can't even imagine if the mental structure is complex or simple.

These guys are troublesome. I don't know what I'm going to do next. All I know is that it's a bad taste. "

When the impulse description was finished, the knights each looked at each other, but in the end there was a shortage of people in command when transferring to action. Belliache was still worried about whether he should take command himself, but the enemy did not wait for me. Temple Knights sensors have detected the emergence of further enemies.

"Someone is approaching us! That number... 20, 30... is still increasing!

"Shape?

"It's indefinite, the kind of evil spirit is expected. Oh, there's a couple of physical person shapes. Oh, no... deformed?

When the sensor made the report, he raised his face, and looked at the wall with the courtyard, his hand suddenly came out of the wall and twitched the sensor's head.

It was a giant who showed up about twice the length of a person's back. Its body wrapped in muscles like bent armor, and its giant with a boy's head with a mouth as cracked as a thorn, looked around with the Temple Knight's sensors lifted. Normally, I flinch. But the trained knights did not flicker with the sight in front of them, and how dare they strike at the giant?

"Holy shit!

"Ooh!"

An attack by a knight and a monk strikes the arms of a giant who grabs a sensor at the same time. The sensor, which was grabbed on the head to further synchronize, also pulled out his hips knife and stuck it in the giant's arm. When the giant happens to let go of his arm, the other knight hugs the falling sensor and leaves it flying. And while making sure the sensors were safe, others stood up to protect them.

Impulses accidentally whistle exclamation at the brilliance and speed of its collaboration.

"That's the elite of the greatest force on the continent. That's the best move I've ever known."

"Thanks for that."

Belliache thanked the knights on their behalf, but the situation was not so easy. The enemy had already pushed from all directions, and they were surrounded. Enemies are already standing between the rifts.

"I don't see a troublesome... Cyclops group, yes, even in a crusade. If they're Demon Kings, isn't this raid a violation of protocol?

"If we die, there's no evidence, and I'm not sure if killing them will leave any evidence. Plus, you can say," I'm not going to attack Alphilis, it's just for Arnelia, "and put it through. What a convenient handkerchief is a demon king who will leave no trace if defeated? Maybe you're thinking about making it."

"What a bad bottom line. Is Orangeable really the most prestigious high elf in the world?

Belliache and Impulse stand on their backs in bad shape. Around 50 enemies. It is a mixture of evil spirits and giants. The surviving sensors uttered ominous words, although not in numbers they could not.
