The Branded Female Fencer

The Alphilis and their predecessors had overcome the walls and were finally breaking into the castle. Once inside the castle, Lisa tried to find out what was going on ahead with the sensors, but the work didn't go as far as she thought, as the magic of sensor jamming was stretched out more robustly in the castle. Naturally, because scouts can't help but rely on sight, nature and march are also delayed.

Seeing how frustrating Lisa is, Muscade slaps Lisa on the shoulder. When Muscade lightly found the party in front of Lisa that would be the starting point of the magic, he disarmed and showed it in an instant. Muscade looks back at Lisa a a little better. Lisa was on the top of the Buddha.

"You're struggling."

"... right. It is possible to cross the gap between one junction at a time, but it will not take effect unless it takes too long and the enemy is fixed. If you sneer, you don't."

"I don't have a choice. Even magicians who have left the Magic Church are hired at a high price to prevent the ability to defeat enemy formations such as sensors. So much so that some of them left the Magic Church in search of its reward. The art of jamming sensors and disarming them continues to evolve, but what we have here is a lot of obnoxious magic. They don't know the magic of fashion."

"You know a lot about pulling witches. Even the same witch didn't know Lana."

"That kid was raised in the woods, a pure-bred witch, right? As a witch, I'm pure, but I don't have enough knowledge or experience. Besides, I look like this and the mercenary runs long. He also studied the magic of Shirai."

"This is how it looks, isn't it?"

Rosetta complains all the time. Lisa didn't miss a splash of spark between Rosetta and Muscade for a moment. Apparently, the two are alike, and horses don't fit each other.

"You're a fellow hater. The opposite is true."

"Did I say something?

"No, I'm talking to myself. So, Muscade, can you ask me at this rate? Gradually, let's get you naked in this fort."

"Fine, I'll do it thoroughly!

Alphilis patiently waited for the iron fence to rise in the front as Muscade tempered her mission with Lisa. And when the iron fence rose bitterly, she entered the castle with Ozdoba.

Why Alphilis brought Ozdoba is insurance when for some reason this castle attack did not work. With Ozdoba, the mercenaries would not have stormed out on their own. Of course, the first battle merit when it succeeds is on the condition that it gives way to Ozdova.

But if you try Alphilis, it is in the form of using Ozdoba well. If I were to try it as an alphilis, I would have thought that Ozdova would need to offer more favourable conditions in order to take on such a high-risk task, but lighter than I thought, Ozdova took the Alphilis proposal for me.

"Now that it's working, I'll tell you, even though I was surprised to see you from the Regular Army."

"Have I ever been in command of an operation like this or not?

"Yeah. As much as I thought there was something behind it"

"No way. I don't have enough brains to put a back on someone like that. Just a country lord with more small pieces than people and knowing how to use them. If people are too good, it's enough for lords and servants to tell each other."

"It's a gift to know how to use people. Many soldiers now trust you. It's a good thing people are good. Sometimes it's inappropriate as a commander, but it's preferable to me."

Being trusted becomes the qualities of a commander as it is. Ozdova was a kind of commander who attracted people by their kindness. Ozdoba's qualities stand out extra due to the fact that there are other ruthless commanders named Grants.

But Ozdoba didn't seem happy, he humbled himself.

"I don't feel bad when a young lady tells me that, but the only thing I can do about it is people within sight of my face. If they tell me to move 500 people, I'll do that and show them, but I guess I can't do it when it comes to 1,000 or 2,000 people. I'll have a blur soon.

But you're good at putting people on. It could eventually move tens of thousands of people. "

"Come on, it's not like mercenaries can move that many people."

"I don't know that. Some mercenary kings once kept the armies of nations."

"It's like a fairy tale, right? It's not like a soldier responsible for the safety of his people. We can only take responsibility for our own lives."

"Is that right? Others don't know, but at least I feel different."

"Buy it."

Alphilis misled the conversation with a bitter laugh, so he didn't pursue Ozdova any further, but Ozdova made a serious statement for the sake of it. Because this is all the demon kings have emerged, Ozdoba thought that anything can happen in this world anymore. In fact, all the facts that have happened in the battle since yesterday are ridiculous. So 'such a report' was ridiculous, and I was no longer willing to ask seriously.

Alphilis ascertains what's going on in the castle as he advances side by side with Ozdoba and the horse. I can see signs of combat there, but I felt the number of enemy soldiers rolling as corpses was low. Enemy armor and weapons are scattered, but not many carcasses are seen. The sight became so pronounced that Alphilis realized that the intensity of resistance from within the castle did not match the number of enemies. I felt the enemy's maneuver was more than the number of bodies that rolled.

"This... might have been when each doll was in the castle. Well, a simple response would be beneficial to them."

"Lord Alphilis, anything?

"No, this is our dialogue."

The defeated enemy collapses and disappears. The Alphilis mercenaries knew this enemy existed, but they still kept it a secret from the Alliance about the dolls. Say it. Whatever happens. None, but rather because it could spread the confusion. A circular in the Mercenary Guild was already issued regarding the dangers of Hekatonkail, but the doll could not even be discovered and countered by the Arnelian side.

When Alphilis asked Ozdoba to put the soldiers together to some extent, he took Rosetta and the elite of his troops ahead. Ahead, the line was similarly leading the elite to secure the front line, and we were just exploring further ahead of the fort. Lisa and Muscade are also in the same place.
