The Branded Female Fencer

Sword of the Pledge of Ambush, Part 39 ~ Rafferty ① ~

Rafferty was in the far eightfold woods, listening to reports from his men. The Hachi Forest was home to one of the trifles that was said to divide the southern continent, a fairly lifting demon with only Calamity strongholds. Many were wounded and fell in the assault of demons nowhere in Arnelia's 800 years of combat record.

The commander, Rafferty, was moving forward thinking that the elites once sent by Miriazar could also be snorted out. We could easily have imagined that without the magic crystal stone (roadstone) gear, we would not have done so much damage. Even Rafferty would have lost one arm without the protection of the Demonic Crystal Stone. So strong were the protectors said to be the guardians of the fourth tier.

And now they were very troubled by the attack on the fifth tier. There are few enemies on the fifth level. However, there are numerous plants that need to be trapped. Cannibal plants, for example, that fish enemies with a sweet smell and drink them all. A tree that, when approached, sprays massively like a spider's yarn, vomits massively the small insects it keeps in its own body where the opponent is no longer able to move, and tries to nourish itself by letting them attack it. Also, when a certain number of people entered the range, some trees suddenly scattered blade-like leaves and felled their surroundings. And because the trees themselves change their placement as if they were creatures, the forest presents a different look every day. It was of no use, such as landmarks and guidance. Unlike up to the fourth layer, I can also nod that there are few organisms. This is not the kind of world where creatures come in.

The knights of continuous stature were haunting their heads with new traps to be discovered like every day. Naturally, Rafferty's troubles are the same. And one of my men said it.

"At times like this, even though Crudas' inquiry helps"

I thought Rafferty was right, too. Crudas is superior to the wild, backed by a quiet outfit. Of the three brothers, probably the best knight in animal exploration. In other words, I may say that we can act more instinctively. If you have five senses, Rafferty is also much sharper than that of an ordinary person, but reason still precedes you. Like Crudas, it's not enough to leave it to instinct to take any action.

To Rafferty, Crudas is perhaps the most talented of his brothers. My body can work out. The sword can also be worked out. But instincts can't work out no matter how. Then Rafferty felt that the best in terms of qualities was undoubtedly Crudas.

But Crudas lacked temper. It lacks the same temper Alberto, himself, and the other Knights of the Temple have. No matter how blessed you are with your talents, it becomes a temper battle in the battle to divide life and death. The difference will be particularly pronounced in the fight against opponents whose strength has been antagonised. Crudas lacked that temper.

Seeing such a crudas on the battlefield, worried Rafferty was secretly sending a letter to Miriazal. I was hoping something would change on the battlefield. But I don't see any such signs. Then I thought it might be my brother's life that should be a priority, and I contacted Miriazal. Miriazal will have already noticed. This expedition was probably supposed to be the last opportunity. By now in Arnelia, orders should have been given to Crudas not to go to war.

If you're talented, it doesn't mean you're right for the fight. Rafferty has realized that fact in many battles. No matter how talented you are, I don't think you should be on the battlefield if you have no reason to fight.

"(But now it's how you get through this difficulty. If Crudas is mature as a warrior... and I can't help it without it)"

Crudas tightened his expression and came to the meeting again. Back three floors. We have to pull it out at all costs. I have to have measures to pull it out.

Jabawok said.

"(Calamity is probably not like an ancient warcraft like ours - it should be. At the time I was born, there was no such thing on the southern continent. Only a warcraft with tremendous power, Lord Silver, was there. The power is so overwhelming that even Brady Maria once gave up hostility from the front. There must have been no Dragreo yet. But Lord Silver, contrary to his power, had a very quiet character, rather trying to coexist with humans and other creatures. All the spirits praised the beauty of Lord Silver and his majesty.

Something like that appeared sometime ago. The story of the spirits at the time shows that the power map of the southern continent has changed dramatically since the emergence of calamitous creatures. The horror of calamity lies in its invasive power. No matter how much Lord Silver tried to stop him, he was blaming him from all directions and stretching that map of forces one after the other.

And finally, when the forces of Calamity reached half of the southern continent, Lord Silver unleashed all that power. The result is the desertification of the southern continent today. Lord Silver knew what would happen if he did his best. As a result, Calamity was fatally wounded by Lord Silver, and he was trapped in the Octave Forest because of the desert laying around him something like the Flying Word Junction, and Bradymaria was also able to move. Lord Silver is dead apparently for exhausting his powers, but I guess that Dragreo has risen up instead. This is the truth that is not told in a person's history.

Ahem? What was True Dragon like? Ask that bokenas Gwendorf. I don't think Lord Silver asked the True Dragons for help, but if Gwendorf knew exactly what was going on, the southern continent wouldn't have done that. True dragons have fallen, there's no case on the southern continent. If you want to talk to me, you're gonna have a big face like that. It would still be better if you decided to look from the edge like me.) "

As he listened to the story, Miriazar decided on one measure. When it was too late for Calamity to emerge as an enemy, Miriazal decided to dispatch a three-time expedition from the past to find out who the Calamity would be.

Rafferty also knows its importance. That's why Rafferty needed to be identified, including the pull-out. No matter how much sacrifice it takes, we have to find out who Calamity is. in that extraordinary battle. Speaking of peace of mind, I have to say that Crudas was reassured to have returned.

"I'm a lot of selfish, too. I didn't know you and my brother were cute."

"Master Rafferty, anything?

"Nothing. It's a newer enemy plant response. I don't know what those plants are going to react to and attack."

The words that Rafferty snapped in his mouth were not heard, and he forgot about his brother in his homeland, and came to the military council.
