The Branded Female Fencer
Insufficient human resources, part 138 ~ wedge ② ~
"Come on, come on!
Milnay, once held in front of Alphilis, was tied with rope and held up by two soldiers, yet still rampaging. Her pride prevented her from accepting defeat. But it doesn't matter what happens in the middle of nowadays.
In the end, Milnay was captured early after the Alphilis' declaration of war. It was the last word Alphilis released that became a decision maker.
"Pulling enemies inside and pinching them, that might be good. But what happens to the safety of the residents of downtown? Some of these will have families downtown. But the commander there can't let that go. This land has nothing to do with mercenaries. I know how that feels a lot because I'm a mercenary too.
We don't have a hand in the city right now, but we can't guarantee the safety of the residents when it comes to pinching them. "
Alphilis' words worked. The lost generals voluntarily pulled forward before the Alphilis when they instantly seized Milnay. The generals who were originally sent from the centre to remain on the scene were not convinced of Milnay's command. I waited now or now for Milnay to fail something. It would not have accumulated if rebellion had been waged there even by conventional Kandert generals.
And as a defeated general, he was forced to lay low on the ground. Although, of course, they were assembled on the ground with strength, which literally resulted in licking the soil.
Alphilis sat down that milnay in a chair and looked down as if there was plenty of room.
"Long time no see, Milnay. I'm sorry to see you again in such a way."
"Shut up! Don't think I won this!? I haven't even fought you yet! Fight with dignity, and you'll end up like this."
"No, no matter what you say, I win. We got results. Kandert's fort has surrendered, and we are already in the midst of a victory and an end to the war process. You will be captured and imprisoned until an exchange of prisoners takes place. Your price as a mercenary will be money."
"... dammit!!
Milnay laid her eyes down and regretted it. Milnay doesn't really think he lost. Milnay was thinking about why this happened, but I just don't think the soldiers are impudent no matter what he thinks. Why did they surrender without a fight? Only the thought circles through Milnay's head with anger.
That's why she didn't get the word of Alphilis in her ear. If I had honestly embraced the words of Alphilis in the first place and loaded with drills, or maybe this hadn't happened.
"Milnay, your cause of defeat is that you took a light-hearted look at your people. Soldiers are also human. Few people try to fight until they sacrifice their families.
Besides, nearly half of Vesel's troops are supposed to be dispatched from the center. They will not obey mercenary orders, etc., no matter how proud and good they may be. And... "
But the words of Alphilis do not reach Milnay. It was Cowen who was watching the state of the matter. And when Milnay realizes he has nothing to say and is unwilling to listen to Alphilis, Alphilis moves Milnay's figure backwards and tries to treat him as a prisoner.
"... okay, take me with you."
"Aiya, for a while."
But the flow was blocked by Cowen.
"What, Cowen?
"Captain, please reconsider. I saw this Milnay as the man inside. And according to Xiao Ear, he was a companion and nobleman. I wondered if it would be sneaky to treat him differently as a prisoner."
Cowen's offer is certainly unreasonable. If sent to the rough rear, it is also possible that Milnay will not be treated properly as a prisoner. Besides, it's hard to honestly think that Vesel would pay Milnay's ransom. In that case, you owe the Alliance, and the Alliance will receive her personality. You might want to know the end of a woman mercenary who owed a lot of money. Alpha Reese was concerned, too.
"I see. So what do you think we should do?
"Nothing? I was wondering if I could let you go."
"... well, the same mercenaries against each other. This is the time to win or lose this battle. Looks like General Pfeiffer arrived here, and there's nothing anyone can do about it anymore."
"Exactly. Come on, Mr. Rosetta, let Lord Milnay go."
"Are you sure?
When Rosetta reluctantly unties Milnay, she tries to make him stand with a small poke from behind and take him out of the tent. When he gave orders to his own men with his jaw, he gave them food and gold to the city the size of which the horse and the branches of the nearby guild were located, and prepared the horse as well.
"Damn, he's a lucky guy. Thank Atai and the others and fuck off and go to sleep."
"... who will thank you all"
"Milnay."
Alphilis comes to see Milnay off. No, I just had the same direction to drop her off and the same direction Alphilis was running errands. On that evidence, Alphilis was talking to her without stopping.
"In a breath disaster."
When he heard the voice wishing Alphilis well, Milnay shaped himself when he was a demon, returning his horse and leaving as he was. I can just see the anger rising from that back.
But Alphilis was unaware, or he missed his back, and left early. I have my last meeting with Pfeiffer. We have to finish all the steps by the time Vesel's reinforcements arrive. It is only after this that it is the real deal for Alphilis. So it was true that I was in a hurry, and I couldn't afford to take Milnay into account.
And after Alphilis left, some time later, Cowen was holding his belly on the spot, folding his body and trembling. Lisa naturally notices Cowen's strange move as she was dropping off with a sensor on the spot to see if Milnay would leave with great care.
