The Branded Female Fencer

Nia tried to reflexively push Yao backwards, but Yao tried to slip through and get inside sooner than that, bouncing his arm trying to grab Nia. But the arm moved fast and strange, and Yao was turned into the universe, while Nia gave the elbow of that arm a blow to retract the opponent. And Yao set his posture right in the universe, and landed on the spot.

"You're doing it now!

"Captain Amur?

Nia did not relieve her guard when she confirmed that the Lord of her hands was Amur, but she was closing the door with her hind legs because Amur did the trick of closing the door with her hands. Yao looked at Nia worryingly, but Nia didn't take her gaze off by staring at Amur.

And when I closed the door, Amur sighed one thing.

"It doesn't look like an assassin."

"Assassin?"

"You realize what's going on out there, don't you?

Amur was right, Nia nodded and showed one because she was aware of the signs outside. Amur is scratching his head with a twilight face. Seeing where the tone was back to normal, he looked really in a hurry.

"They haven't let you grab their tail for almost a year, and suddenly they set me up today. And on such a large scale. Many of my men are already out of communication."

"So you think the people out there are traitors?

"Maybe, maybe not. I've been looking into the traitors this past year with Kazas' help, but I haven't found a single piece of evidence. I brought you here. No results, Ginger."

"Sister, what do you mean?

Yao, unsure of the circumstances, asked Nia for an explanation, and Nia let him know how she had returned to Gruzaldo. Yao thought Nia had returned because she had completed the period of her martial arts training, so she couldn't hide her surprise when she was told that Gruzaldo might have a traitor.

"I can't think of a traitor to the Beast Man in Groussard... Is that story really credible?

"Unfortunately, no doubt about it. With solid information, I gained the certainty that Traguslon had planted this information as if he knew the gaps here all the time because it was leaking. That's why south logging doesn't progress, and sweeping demons is sweet stuffing. And this time, it turns out that the two beast generals were hit and clearly this move is leaking to the enemy. Thanks to this, the South Logging Row has nothing substantial to gain just because of the victims.

Besides, it has become clear since Kazas arrived that the real power of Gruzaldo has fallen year after year. I'm hitting my hands because Dryan and Ron had noticed so loudly, but it's a different matter of whether it works or not. But if Kazas' proposed policy is successful, Dryan's tenure seems to have managed to go a long way. Actually, he's a big guy. "

To Amur's praise, Nia rejoiced as much as I did. That would make bringing Kazas worthwhile.

But at the same time, it was as if Gruzaldo had never thought of being pushed economically. I always thought the battles were winning, and there was no story of natural disasters and hardship in the Grand Valley or surrounding cities.

"What was going on in this country, assuming it was being pushed economically?

"As you know, beasts rarely use weapons or anything, but it doesn't mean they don't need protective gear. Besides, if it was a battle, we needed food, but that was roughly local procurement. So there was not so much concept of stockpiling in the country or in each city, but if the snow interrupts trading with each city for a long time like this one, the city might starve.

Then, when a siege net is created for each city and communication and supply is cut off, Gruzaldo finds himself in crisis at once. "

"I see that's the same with the Expeditionary Force. Fighting on land we cannot expect to replenish prevents us from expediting for a long time. Until now, there have been a lot of battles on food-rich southern lands, but you don't know what happens on other lands, etc."

Yao got it, he said all the time, and Amur was snorting too.

"I'm glad I realized that before it actually did. As it is now, not far away we could have lost a great deal on some land"

"That being so, what is the matter with this situation now? Are you telling me that the traitors have set you up?"

"I don't know either. But the enemy is massive. Maybe 10 or 20 isn't a sign. I didn't know there were so many enemies.?

At that time, Amur noticed signs of approaching his office. Signs felt by Nia and Yao also walked defenselessly to Amur's office and knocked on the door.

"Lord Amur, may I?"

The Lord of the Voice is Kazas. The three looked at each other and were puzzled as to how they had answered. Take some time and Amur will respond carefully.

"Kazas, what can I do for you?"

"I need to ask you something, can I come in?

"No, let's hear it there"

There is no key in the office door. It was easy for Kazas to open it if he wanted to, but Kazas spoke from beyond the door as it was.

"Inside, what about Nia and Yao?

"Yes, but what happened to it?"

"Okay, both of you. No, all three of you listen with all your heart. The traitor of Gruzaldo, that's Amur himself there."

"... what?

It wasn't just Nia and Yao who doubted my ears about what they said, but Amur himself was the same again.
