The Branded Female Fencer

"Did you see the sorcerer in the middle of the battle?

"No. There was a sort of spellman in the enemy, but he said it wasn't that big a deal"

"- Right."

Then Dryan mumbled and silenced, so everyone took a breath and waited for the next word. Dryan, sitting deep in his chair with his arms together, was thinking of something with his imaginary face, but eventually he slowly raised his face.

"A messenger. I'll lend you The King's Nose. Spread it out on the front line. Decide on the scattering lottery, and let no one understand. The king's nose, to each other."

"Ha!

"Aquila, are there any people who might replace Niger?

"Between the times, I thought the deputies would be assistants to the Beast General."

"Then the southern front continues as it is. All right, messenger, back off. All right. Take off the others, and remain only the Beast General and the Chancellor."

And it came to pass, when all were praised with the word, that he left the beast general, and the clerk, and so forth, departed. Only Dryan and Ron the Chancellor and six beast generals remained on the spot. And the beast generals were Roch, and Vargo, and Lünca, and Kapur, the old generals of the owls, and Bahia, the beast generals of the Uma, and Cerio, the youngest beast generals in the rat tribe.

Dryan slowly opens his mouth.

"I left them because I think they can be trusted. I don't need to talk about this from now on. Ready?"

"Well, if the king says so, you have to shut up. If you say anything extra in the first place, you'll be speechless forever."

"He says that dialogue is superfluous"

Bahia harshly criticizes a tense cellio. Though Cherio was a breeze blowing, and Kaple laughed alongside him.

The usual exchange. So Dryan was relieved, and he started talking ready.

"Aquila, I have an idea who did Niger. It's..."

"Arnelian Church, right?

Cherio took Dryan's word for it. Everyone was a little confused by the words and deeds, but Dryan was the same again.

"Cerio, Temeye -"

"No, King. Did you think I was stupid? Like Roch and the King do, I have sources outside the country, too, right?

Plus, there's not a lot of people in the world who can kill outdated combat fanatics like those two together. With some sorcery, those two will be defeated.

Considering them together, it is also possible that the enemy is an Arnelian pilgrimage. Of course, I can think of enough black magicians in fashion right now, and it's all just speculation. But when you're near the front line, it's easy to think of someone on the pilgrimage who was negotiating - that's all. "

Cerio answered without any evil, and the beast generals looked at each other. When everyone is in trouble about how they reacted, Cherio goes on and on.

"Well, air unreadable statements are my specialty, so maybe we're all thinking the same thing, but I dare you, a young man, let me tell you.

In my case most of all, I'm guessing, does the king have anything close to certainty?

"- Depends on the movement after this. If Arnelia were to come out here and negotiate peace..."

"Do you want to go to war with Arnelia?

Perfect for a word of Cerio, and the air strains. How many battles would it be if it did, a grumpy hunch and a helpless instinct as a beast man to fight the mighty were swirling in them.

But Dryan's words were calm.

"Arnelia is... don't do it"

"Why? Because I lose, if that means I'm disappointed?

"Take it easy, Cherio. Arnelia's not necessarily a single rock, is she?

It was the Chancellor, Ron, who spoke peacefully. He liked to dress up and behave gracefully. The outfit is also like a human from the Oriental continent.

To Ron's words, Cherio changed his spearhead.

"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Is there a traitor in Arnelia?

"It's not weird to be here. Arnelia's sphere of power has expanded further in recent decades. It has spread to the kingdom of the beasts, and even further south. No matter how competent the Virgin of such a Church is, it would be more normal for some to do things out of sight. In fact, one of the tasks of pilgrimages is to take control of the unsuccessful."

"Is that why you're saying that if the pilgrims were villains, they'd be out of hand"

I nodded in the face that Bahia was convinced. And the capsule continues.

"That's not all there is. The pilgrims are allowed to intervene militarily in the country according to their power. With us, the pilgrimage will have to lend some troops. I don't know what would happen if they abused it."

"If there's justification for the reason, right? Is it that easy for the army to lend?"

"You can make it with legitimacy or whatever. That's politics."

I also agreed with Ron, tongue-in-cheek. Cherio is no fool either. I know more than a few things about the rush of human politics.

And once the exchange converges, Dryan opens his mouth.

"Anyway. Don't move without my orders until you know the truth about it. I left Temehe and the others out of my way to see if a guy like Cherio who more or less finds out who the enemy is could get ahead of me. That's right, we can't destroy ourselves if we get run over on our own.

But I promise. If I find out who the enemy is, I don't know what they are then, but I won't forgive them. Let our people know what they'll see if they get their hands on us. Nice! "

Dryan's drink at the end. They broke up, but Kapur talks to Roch at the time of his departure.
