The Branded Female Fencer
Missing Talent, Part 30 - Night Assault (9)
"The enemy, Bernau?
"Um, there was a reaction to the boundaries of the eagle. The enemy has about a hundred horseback rides. There's still some distance, but it won't be long."
"Ah, novice. My arm will."
"I haven't decided yet with the enemy. So, what do we do over there? If you want to escape, you can do it now."
The big Dorothy told me with care. The Blackhawks will fight the Alphilis, whether they show up as Alphilis enemies or allies. Alphilis turned his back.
Everybody, we're retreating.
"Again?
Lisa told her a little dissatisfied, but unexpectedly Rosetta suppressed Lisa's head.
"No, that's one choice. Such a battlefield is limited to a quick farewell. More than that, Alfie, I'm sorry, but I lost track of the two kids. Apparently, he's lost it."
"... you have no choice. I'm sure those two were prepared for this."
"Whoa, you're abandoning me?
Rosetta raised her voice to the words of Alphilis, which seemed unexpected.
"Atai is to blame. I should have seen it better."
"You're surprisingly disciplined, Rosetta. But now that I'm going to take my sword and go out on the battlefield, this can happen. If you live, it will be a good lesson."
"You're breaking it up more than I thought. Still do enough to look for it?
"You know what I mean. I can't afford that. If there's a ransom bargain, I'd like to help you at all costs."
"I'll find it."
Lunatica, who broke in, was already ready. When I go looking, I show it in attitude.
"Luna, I can't do that. You can't guess what I'm talking about.
"That's right, but those two are going to be strong. I think so. It's the same thought again that brought Alphilis to this battlefield. Didn't I?"
"... right"
The idea of Alphilis seemed to be read by Renatica. Surely Gail's way of judging the sword was something that would show the goodness of its muscles if it stood up a little. I would grow up quite a lot in my physique, and I could well have expected to be a good warrior.
Nor did Elsia personally show motivation, but Alphilis knew that there was something extraordinary about the way the sword was judged and the accuracy of the throw. Alphilis secretly expected both to be good mercenaries. Alphilis thought he was at least better suited to the fight than probably lay people at the bottom of the line.
I didn't imagine it would end like this. Any cruelty happens on the battlefield. Alphilis had also taken into account that the two boys and girls were already dead. I had a feeling that if I were really dead, the blame would be on me.
Alphilis made one readiness to signal a retreat. Bernau speaks to her.
"Confronting us twice and having each other's lives is on the brink of something. Let me tell you one good thing. There is a third force in this battlefield besides our client, Vesel."
"The third?
Alphilis raises a voice that seems unexpected. Bernau nodded.
"Probably. It would be predictable that this night raid had been warned in advance. But who exchanged the information? I have free access to both factions. There are people like that."
"Aren't you simply a messenger?
"It doesn't. I kept an eye on the general of Vesel at all times. If you had a messenger from a client, you'd know. Thank you. The general of Vesel seems to have known this move well in advance."
"Ebony."
"That's why we can get ahead of different places, and we won't die. Always the best."
Bernault made a scene.
"But let there be a report, the ambush fits too far. The battalion that came here was already shredded by someone. We're not supposed to have Vesel's troops deployed anywhere near here. Well, who did it?
Using this as their hunting ground, the eagles set up their positions extensively early on. It should also be called an impromptu castle. Then there is no sign that anyone has stepped in here. Then there's the enemy's body. "
"Who slips through the magician's boundaries?
"If that's the case, it's quite a hassle. We need to be careful with each other."
When Bernault laughed lightly, Renatica saw a universe full of nothing. That's behind the alphilis, a few steps away. It was instinct for Renatica to see there. When it's in something, it's not clear. Just faint, indescribable discomfort. Yes, it felt as if only the will of those who had no appearance was there.
But there was no hesitation in Lunatica's actions. I portrayed people in the void where nothing was supposed to be, waving Matchett without hesitation. The space where nothing is supposed to play Lunatica's attack. The sudden and resounding metal sound attracts the attention of everyone on the spot. Those who responded quickly had their hands on the sword at the same time.
"All...!
There was no time for Alphilis to say anything, and there was a fierce blood splash and cheer. Something transparent behind the alphilis turned the robe, and only the part seen from the robe appeared as if it had suddenly appeared in the universe. At the same time, clear signs of being a person emerge.
Renatica didn't miss that moment. Crush the time in one step and take it in a second step to bring it into melee. But the opponent had slapped down all the attacks of unstoppable speed in Renatica's eyes with a small sword. Lunatica's eyes widened to surprise, and shortly afterwards Lunatica's figure disappeared like a remnant. Now he chose to strike with disillusionment at speed, but he still prevented all the intense Lunatica attacks in and out. And the first blow I fought back was slitting Renatica's shoulder.
"(I can...!
Renatica knows only enough to count those who make Renatica's real attack so far. But the other guy also saw Renatica as a mess, and Renatica, once she tried to distance herself and re-compartmentalize, tried to disappear wearing herself in her robe again.
