The Branded Female Fencer

Missing Talent, Part 7 - Unmatched Footprint

"What do you mean?

"As far as I'm concerned, they're spies out there. Fortunately, the disposition of the dolls lurking in Arnelia was carried out by the Renatica, but it is not yet clear how to identify the dolls scattered throughout each town. Only Renatica can accurately distinguish the doll at the moment. Miranda is using some means right now, but we will still be moving to execution for the time being.

If you involve a country in that situation, your opponent will take your move into account. I'd rather squeeze this person in and do it in secret. "

"When that happens, not very much, but the Magic Church and Arnelia alone are understaffed. I have to ask the Demon Society, and Olumpus, to help me..."

"No purpose," he said?

Miriazal snorted. Certainly pilgrimage and the accompanying power of war. Besides, mobilizing a conquest force would be less than a thousand in total. So it is difficult to simultaneously raid nearly 30 facilities.

But it is true that we cannot wait forever. Elsa sets out her thoughts one after the other.

"Why don't you offer your help to the brave certified ones? Like when hunting demon kings."

"Arshhuntra couldn't grasp his disappearance, and Riddill also went missing during the last Demon King crusade. Zems is alive, but Fostina is still on the southern front. It's close to a miracle you even took part in the last demon king hunt."

"Zems, regardless of his combat abilities, has many things he can't trust... can't he count on the brave? Then what about witches and mentors?

"Well, you don't know it yet. The witches were raided during the regiment and most of them died. And some of them seem to have been traitors."

"Oh, my God! Then they..."

Elsa opened her eyes to incredible information, but Miriazar told the facts pale.

"Survival seems to have been protected by the Magic Church, so maybe you'll join us in the fight. My mentors and I are about to enter into negotiations. Well, not the ones who refuse to relate to humans more than witches. I can't expect much.

Spears' sisters, by the way. With Tetrastine gone, there's a good chance they'll flip the anti-flag themselves. When they move, the Magic Church becomes clear to you. I don't think it's this raid. "

"And then... are the rest true dragons"

"In that regard, it's very difficult. Gwendorf looks cooperative, but Oranzebul and Gwendorf are not best friends in the first place. You can't complain about being sidelined."

"Isn't that impossible, then, raids, etc!

Elsa roughed up her voice. Even a servant Elsa could not hide her frustration at that situation, which was close to blocking in eight directions even if she wanted to move. And Elsa also thinks of Minar's enemies.

Next to it, Eliza calmly looks at the map. And I paid attention to one mark.

"Master, what's this? Though there seems to be only one big mark. The place is... Romansland, right?

"Um, you've got eyes on a good place. It's a souvenir with minarets."

Miriazal takes out another drawing. That was a detailed map of Pilebos.

"Is this...?

"I can't say anything definitive yet, but it's part of a mountain range with a Romansland capital and a main castle. Notably, Minar said of the Demon King's workshop, which would be there," the factory. "

"What's that?

Eliza asks.

"If it's a workshop, do most of that by hand. There are many objects that are handmade and highly creative, one by one, but there is no longer a sense of unity in the standards, and most importantly, it takes time.

In contrast, in order to automatically carry out most of the processes in the factory, there is a high degree of uniformity in the objects and efficient production. It lacks originality for that matter, but don't be suited for mass production in a short time. "

"I see. That's what you think the master thinks when he's producing Hecaton Cale here?

"Yes."

When Miriazal nodded, Elsa thought a little and said her own thoughts.

"Master, in this incompetent situation, this factory might as well be crushed soon"

"That's right. So whatever the size, make sure this factory is destroyed with the highest priority. But the problem is, you're too close to the capital of Romansland. If we're going to send personnel this far deep, there's no way we're not going to get permission from that country. But that country needs little Arnelia's help, and..."

"No, that's not what I meant"

Elsa blocked Miriazal's words.

"I was organizing Master Minar's artifacts and found them, but Master Minar gathered information about the Demon King all over the place. That diary detailed the characteristics of the demon kings that emerged everywhere. Apparently, in addition to the Arnelian humans, they used a significant number of personnel. Some of them were like working with the Beast Man.

It is that Master Minar was discussed while gathering information on those demon kings. He said that a series of disturbances was a massive and long-term experiment. In certain cycles, the Demon King seemed to be reviewing weaknesses and gradually switching to strong individuals. And from its use, it seemed to be available in a variety of ways, such as those that were versatile, for local warfare, for repressive warfare, and those that assumed against magicians.

All in all, what I thought about them was that everything is still at the experimental stage. If the producers are satisfied that the individuals are complete, they will be produced in large quantities using the factory. "

"... I see, there are already quite a few Demon Kings themselves, but is it possible that they will start mass production of even more improved Demon Kings? Hecaton Kale snagged and at the same speed."

"I don't know if it's actually going to be that easy to produce the Demon King, but if we find any means to solve this problem, then..."

"... nasty"

Faster than Miriazal, the field was silenced by the words that Eliza muttered. Even Tsukiko is closing his eyes and blurring his face a little.

But it was still Miriazal who broke the silence.

"... given the worst, maybe it's already been executed. Not yet confirmed, but apparently individuals changing from humans to demon kings began to be identified. They're already working on a new demon king."

"From man to demon king? and then the opponent can turn the person they are after into a demon king?

"I don't know if it's convenient yet. He said the most recently confirmed individuals retained consciousness and used witchcraft while changing from humans to demon kings. Things are no longer a moment of respite. Espis and Linella still have their factory under the Lord's watch. Depending on the situation, even if we were to set things up with Romansland, we would storm the factory. Be prepared."

"Okay."

Elsa listened and felt this had to be an easy thing to do. If I make one mistake, there could be a massive war, starting with the Arnelian Church. In that case, the trust and tradition built up over the centuries by the Arnelian Church will fall to the earth.

But if what is on the balance is the fate of the continent, Miriazal will try to accomplish whatever he sacrifices. And at that time, Elsa had a hunch that she must be on the front lines.
