The Branded Female Fencer
Insufficient personnel, part 16 ~ defensive line ⑤ ~
"Alphilis, what do we have to do?
Lisa catches Alphilis coming out of the military council. Alphilis came out of the room concisely finishing the military debate with Ebden and Ozdova. We should have waited for Grants, the commander of the reinforcements, but everyone had guessed that there was no room for that.
Besides, as an alphilis, it was still thought that Ozdoba was easier to talk to than a completely military-inspired Grants. I would also like to let the Client Army know their usefulness before Grants arrives.
"Lisa, get the fennas."
"Okay."
Fenna is participating in this expedition from Seeker. As an alphilis that lacks the number of magicians compared to the regular army, it was because it considered that the power of the Seeker was needed with a full-scale war. Though I didn't think Fenna herself would offer to accompany me.
Lisa called me, and Fenna showed up before the alphilis. She wears a robe deep in her eyes because she is not perceived around to be a seeker.
"Did you call, Alfie?"
"Yeah, do me a favor. That collapsing wall, can you reinforce it with magic?
I could see Fenna's eyes glowing from behind the robe. When she gets to the front of the walls, she gently reaches for the walls. He stroked the wall for a while, but when he let go of his hand, Fenna grinned.
"This wall is made of red soil burnt and hardened material, isn't it? It's a castle wall built quite a long time ago, with little hands on it. There are not many barriers added by witchcraft, and it is an ingredient that is not so different from the soil on the ground here, so I might be able to manage to reinforce this. However, on this scale, I would like to have a day."
"By nightfall, please."
"Let's try it"
That's all Fenna decided to do quickly. Gather the 20 Seekers who accompanied you on this expedition to begin the discussion. They scattered so little that Fenna had told them something, that when they stuck to the walls, they began to mark and chant.
[Protecting me is dirt. Duplicate is faith, overlap is the earth, manifest the protection of the Spirit Gnome of the earth]
Barriers to the Earth (Wall):
With the chants of the Seekers, the walls finally burst up. And as the soil climbed to the height of the walls, they chanted another sorcery.
[Add soil protection depending on the shape. Secure it]
"Protection of the earth"
The gaps in the missing walls filled the source of the Seekers' chants. The walls, with their denser structure, do not even look brand new on their appearance.
I would slap that wall so Lisa could be sure, but she was nodding admirably.
"Excellent. Obviously more robust than earlier"
"One of the sorceries passed down to my clan, elemental degeneration and fundamentals previously shown, is the same. That's why I call it Schmidt."
"The inner reinforcement is perfect. What about the outside?
"Even as soon as the inside is over. Because apparently they pretty much blurted it out. But for now, I thought it would be easier to understand us by showing you the results that are easy to understand."
"Apparently, it's a hit."
As Fenna aimed, the soldiers in the castle were on purpose. And as admirable as they are, they are slamming the walls to ascertain their strength.
"If you're going to do it, it's time. Tell us what's going on and ask for the outside."
"Right. Exposing yourself to it may also be within the present."
Once again, when Fenna took the hood, the surroundings were bothered. Many people are new to seeing Seekers called Dark Elves. Some of them accidentally put their hands on the sword.
Alphilis had also forgotten because he was accustomed to them, but the Seeker was originally a persecuted species. And there's no doubt that you, the brunette, are a wary kind of person. hostility directed against the Alphilis and others, but it was the line that stood between them.
"Uh, don't look so scared. I want you to listen to me."
The line came forward feeling a little out of the way.
"Our mercenary regiment has a lot of collaborators. And the race, of course. But they act purely as mercenaries. So all kinds of emotions, I want you to forget now. And it's just what I just showed them that they're useful. Nobody would want this fort to fall, would they?
"But what if they're lying? Originally a race hostile to humans. He might be trying to put us on."
One of the soldiers objected. But Rhine answered with a headache.
"That's too much to think about. I'm sorry to say, but how does this lead to the destruction of humans where we dropped this fort? Either way, the Arnelian Church will be in full swing on arbitration in days to come. If we stand that far, we win. Didn't I?"
"But"
"Ready? Neither do we mercenaries, but it's up to the guys to figure out what the country is and which one won. Mercenaries and soldiers like us can only think about how we're going to live tomorrow.
We mercenaries can run if our enemies are strong, but not you soldiers, right? Running away in front of the enemy is a felony, and if you run away, it can be a sin for the rest of your local family. So you use whatever you can use. Even in the foreign law business. Didn't I? "
"Mm..."
The soldiers shut up about the words of the line. The line strikes a chase.
"Well, if the Regular Soldiers don't like dirty means, we'll do that. In the first place, we're mercenaries because we do everything depending on the money. Even if Dark Elves did something, regular soldiers wouldn't be bothered. I don't know what we did on our own."
"... makes sense. Fine."
The soldier let go of his hand from the sword, so did his surroundings. I can see the hostility fading. When Rhine turned to Alphilis, he told Fenna and the others to continue to reinforce him from outside the walls, and the soldiers in the castle helped him with it. And Fenna turned the castle gate into a diamond with elemental degeneration magic.
Soldiers roar at the glittering gates of the castle. The soldiers reacted well.
"Thank you, Line."
"Well, no matter what the Regular Army says, the end is no different than ours. If it weren't for the war, there would be a lot of people plowing the fields."
"That's right. Speaking of lines, were they military in the past?
"That could have happened. What do we do now?"
"We'll see how the enemy comes out first. I've already sent Lunatica out for reconnaissance. If the walls become brand-new in a day, they'll be surprised."
"Sure. Castle attackers and their amazing faces."
Rhine and Alphilis smiled at themselves like prankster children.
