The Branded Female Fencer
Missing Talent, Part 1 - Miserable Failure
"Rosetta, how many people were hit?
"A minimum of 10 people. I don't know the details. I haven't been able to get a chirp yet, because somehow I ran apart."
"It was exactly like scattering a spider child."
"Oh, I've never been hit so beautifully. It's even very clear."
Lisa's irony made Rosetta look like she had scuffed a bitter bug, spitting. We can still hear the hustle and bustle of battle from afar, but for now the surroundings seem safe. That's what Lisa confirms.
When Alphilis received a report from Rosetta, he pressed his forehead against the sheath of his sword and sighed heavily. Nearly 30 people have already been killed by war just to know. If it becomes clear, 50 people are not going down. It was a tenth of the number of humans brought in. There are only a few others here, Rosetta and Lisa, so I can get depressed like this, but that's not why I'm going to do it if my people come home.
Alphilis cursed the sweetness of his reading. I never thought they'd be stronger than this. He seemed paralyzed to his senses as he confronted an overly monstrous opponent such as Lifeless, but this time the opponent was undoubtedly a formidable enemy. The difference is that they are the same human mercenaries as the Alphilis and the others.
Karazel Cavalry. It is one of the most famous mercenary regiments on the continent, and the rumors are known to anyone who mercenarizes. Rosetta was also in Slasmund before, and she met with Roxonoa, one of the captains. It wasn't a skirmish then, but not this time. He was hired by those who opposed each other, and hit him head-on. As a result, the Alphilis and the others failed miserably.
"Damn, don't laugh at me because now you're only half as strong as your opponent. How strong would you be if it were all there?"
"But depending on what you think, maybe this was a good idea. We obviously lost momentum on the way.
If anyone was to be captain in chief, we might have been wiped out. "
"Lisa's right. It doesn't look like the cavalry just gave up their pursuit because it's a forest. Their hands were weakened before they entered the woods. I'm completely out of my hands."
"That's not all there is to it. The last time I saw Rhine and Venn lead some troops into it. They should be putting together the guys that got away by now."
"I just want to sense it with Lisa's sensors, but you're being bewitched to inhibit the sensors in these areas. Sporadically, I know, but I can't really grasp their trends."
"We'll have to wait here, or... we'll just hope there's no pursuit."
Alphilis sighed again. In fact, there won't be any more pursuits. Because I believe that even a thorough beating of a mercenary regiment that has nothing to do with the effects of the war is less savory for them.
The question is what to do now. It was an ambush because I heard the opponent was taking the trouble to summon his power. It was also simply because we thought about one of the strongest mercenary regiments on the continent and how much we could cross. The results are as you can see. The way the Alphilis fought didn't work until it was brilliant. This will also lose the trust of the employer and, above all, morale.
In the first place, Alphilis resented why we were on this battlefield. The reason goes back a while.
"So? Tetrastine left the Magic Church?
"Mm-hmm. That's how the news came to me. With information about the black magicians."
"So what about Tetrastine?
"You didn't say what you were going to do."
Hannah, Miranda looked up to heaven as if she were frightened. On the desk in Miriazal's private room, he threw his feet out to do business. Alphilis just wasn't in the mood to be that bold. Instead, Miriazal was passed into a private room because he had an inside story, and he felt nervous and dull.
Miranda pointed out even more harshly, as she blamed Miriazal for his non.
"Oh my God, then you can't work with the Magic Church from now on. Weren't you and Tetrastine compassionate?
"Dumb ass, he didn't just come by unilaterally. I thought it was suspicious, but he doesn't know the bottom or what he's thinking. Probably the nature of even lying to myself.
Aside from Tetrastine, the problem is not his successor. He's a pain in the ass. "
"Was it the Hoomilne of the Dark Magic Faction? Sure, I've worked with the Magic Church a few times at work, but the Dark Magic Faction was a bunch of magician-like people in a good or a bad way. Are we overconfident in our power, or do we not believe in anything other than ourselves? I don't mind anything about this one. If it was for a purpose, they wouldn't have chosen the means."
Miranda rubbed her tea, sounding badly. Miriazal is also complaining about bumps as he pokes his cheek wand.
"Exactly. Even if they were, they obviously treated me like a crocodile. Sure, I don't think Hoomilne is the owner of inner wisdom when it comes to running a magic church, but it might be a good thing for me. That doesn't seem to be the case as long as it matches purpose.
Well, the Magic Church was like that from the beginning. Let's just say that the Tetrastine era is more special. I didn't even get in touch with Mame that much. Sometimes it was so many times that it just chatted.
Instead, it's Alphilis, your lord, who's troubled by the fact that the faction's leader has changed. "
"What, me?
Alphilis was suddenly told the story and looked up as surprised.
