The Branded Female Fencer

that night. Renatica was infiltrating one opponent's position. In the battlefield, magic is used to interfere with sensor sensing and crush sonar everywhere to prevent enemy sensors. Some magicians also set up sorcery that detects the opposite by simply releasing a sonar from the sensor.

For this reason, in the end, the presence of scourge is indispensable in the battlefield. If Tasha had come here, he would have scolded me from the sky during the day, but the speed of travel is different between Kansai Feilong and Tenma. Even as a matter of course, it was likely that it would take two more days for Tasha to reach near Fort Salamo.

That's why Renatica is conducting a reconnaissance tonight. Fortunately, it's moonlight tonight. The lights are essential. Reconnaissance was also difficult in true darkness, but the moon and night were just as bright for Renatica as day. The reconnaissance would not be found if it went during the day, but Renatica decided to reconnaissance at night in full swing. The impression that we explored the enemy gently during the day was that there was no sign of an attack on Fort Salamo.

"(Were you waiting for this reinforcement? I don't know why, but that's possible)"

When Renatica found what seemed like a bunch of people called castle attackers, she peered at the condition. Five hundred to a thousand people? What Lunatica saw was that they owned a large number of stone throwers? The casters were considerably larger than normal and were built to cast numerous stones as hammers rather than manpower. To imagine from the shape, it would be possible to use a large number of famous stones as hammers for this minute. Then naturally, the weight of objects that can be thrown also becomes heavy.

Certainly not. If it were about the fort of Salamo, where the walls are not high, however it may be on the hill, this caster would throw in all sorts of things from above.

"(It was a long time ago that the fort of Salamo was built. A fort unsuitable for the current battle. This is a difficult fight)"

When Lunatica thinks about it like that, there are signs of her approaching from behind. When Renatica turned around, there was a layer standing there.

"Late, sorry"

"No, faster than expected. Well done."

A conversation spoken in a whisper. This reconnaissance was also combined with lay field training. It is, of course, something no one knows except Lunatica.

Lunatica, who has been working out layers for some months now. Before layers that absorbed quickly in addition to his thoughts, Renatica decided to try to do field training. It only determines the starting and ending points, and how much speed difference can you arrive at. And Layer showed more movement than Renatica expected.

The rendezvous at the first place of primary purpose also brought the Renatica assignment to an end this time.

"All right, fine. From now on, I'll tell you exactly what to do with reconnaissance."

"Okay."

"You would come to this position and think about what?

Layer looked around and thought a little.

"Right... I think the enemy is feeling pretty good. I don't have a lot of guards, and I don't feel tempered per se. You seem alarmed."

"Same opinion. I don't see around much, and I can ambush you with this. So tell Alphilis we can ambush him?

"No, I won't tell him. Reconnaissance is the job of telling them to stay watched. What to do is for the commander to think."

To Layer's answer, Renatica nodded.

"Exactly. It is the job of scouts and reconnaissance to communicate as they see it. Subjectivity gets in the way."

"Right. But if it's in our interest, it's your decision, right?

I didn't know what the layer meant by words, and Renatica couldn't get back to me. Layers put their hands on the stone thrower on the spot and indicated what they wanted to do.

"... I see. That might be good."

"Yes, it wouldn't stand in the way of the Alphilis and the others in particular, would it?

"Okay, let's report to Alphilis from me. I'll get right to it."

Renatica and Layer continued their quest within the enemy line as they multiplied by the darkness and somehow swung around the stone thrower. Renatica seemed to be alert to something else as well as the lights in the formation. When Layer asked why, he said he was avoiding the trap set by the sorcerer or the sight of the sensors. When the layer asks how we can find out about its existence,

"When you get used to it, you see it"

That's all they said. Exactly too many cluttered answers and the layers were in trouble, but those who found out signs such as Gail and Elsia themselves could feel present even if they were separated by about one house. The lay decided to be convinced that it was similar to that. Any of them may reach that area themselves.

Then would you have continued your reconnaissance for a moment or so? It was when we looked all the way around the enemy formation and even saw the regular army formation already and tried to go to the rear formation for reconnaissance. I also thought the layers were diving somewhat too deep, but with Renatica I thought nothing was in danger. But his leg suddenly stopped. Unexpectedly, a layer hit the Lunatica running forward.

"Lunatica...?"

"Weird"

When Lunatica snapped that much, she cautiously alerted her surroundings. There is no light source around, only a slight brightness of a blurry bonfire (calluses) that would belong to enemy formations in the distance. Perhaps without the moonlight, it is so dark that it is impossible for the layers to run.

Lunatica looked around and looked at the moon looking up at the sky. The white moon is illuminating them, but the clouds are starting to creep in. A large cloud will soon hide the moon softly. When Lunatica checked the cloud movement, she turned her legs against the crease.

"Back"

"Huh? Why?

"Not good ahead. I don't know what it is, but it's very bad. Especially when the moon hides, you won't be able to move anyway. Withdraw now."

"Survey?"

"Survey"

That's all I said, Renatica ran out. The layers follow suit, but I couldn't feel any danger to the layers at all. It wasn't that I didn't care what was ahead of me.

But they do not know that there was someone waiting for them before they tried to step in. Those who waited let go of their hands from the sword of their hips, softly melting their figure into darkness and disappearing completely.
