The Branded Female Fencer

That night, the mercenary regiment had become partly noisy. Larna's delivery of the letter was due to Alphilis' urgent convocation of the captainship. Alphilis was already asleep, but when he found out the letter was from the closet of the Ice Plains witch, he awoke in an instant and gave instructions early in the arrow succession. Less than half an hour later, the captains who were in the regiment were summoned.

Many of the mercenaries were on Jaeger's property because it was now a transition to winter and the mercenaries' requests would be renewed. Winter demands can be expensive, but there are many dangerous and harsh tasks, leading to choices that divide life and death for the mercenaries. Since there are few mercenaries, etc. who earn enough money or save enough to ride without working in the winter, and safe and expensive work can be a fierce battle, it was customary for many mercenaries to gather in the guild before winter requests came out and wait for requests to stick out while making short-term requests, or gearing up, etc. Even Jaeger, with his relatively luxurious funding and talent, was not this exception.

And fortunately, in this mercenary regiment, almost out of captainship, Alphilis, already dressed in armor, was brought to the desk of the clerk, waiting for everyone to let him out. Not many were unhappy with what was going on in the middle of the night, but they perceived that it was not just every time they saw the fitness of the Alphilis.

Lisa sensed the last Rosetta to come in and told Alphilis.

"Alfie, we're all here."

"Guys, hard work late at night. It's an urgent matter."

Tension runs tingly in the quiet tone of the alphilis.

"A witch I know asked me to help. The details of the request are unknown, the location is an isolated land beyond the northern Pyrevos in part, you can consider the request to be of the highest priority. The number of people is scheduled to be around 50, and I can't say much about the compensation at the moment, but I will cover it in the name of the head of the regiment. The people you designate here will be forced to participate, but the rest will be voluntary. So far, any questions?

No one responded, silently indicating their consent.

"Let's start with a compulsory participant. I, Lisa, Aerial, Emerald, Impulse, Daron, Larna, Muscade, Lunatica, Dorothy and Rhine are forced to participate. Otherwise, I'll volunteer. I was wondering if there were any applicants at this point?

"Oh, me."

Unexpectedly, the earliest person to raise his hand was Tasha. Together we are surprised that Tasha, who is usually a contritionist, raised her hand. Alphilis was the same again.

"Tasha, you're motivated. Did you even owe money at the casino?

"Yes, it's because of your loss with Rakia last time... not! If you're going to the North, you're not going to get in with a flying dragon, are you?

"... are you going to?

"No, absolutely not. I'm going to crash to death, all of you. If you're from the North, some of you may know, but Fei Long's feathers are vulnerable to the cold. Normal altitude is nothing, but when you get high enough to cross the ridge of Pilebos, the base of your feathers freezes and you crash. Heavenly Horse was originally a highland creature, so it's really strong in high places. This is common sense in the North."

"Mm, it is."

"So I'm going to lead some of them. I guess I should have five of them. I mean, I'm paying a lot right now, so maybe that's all I can prepare for."

"Yeah, please."

"Then I'll let you leave early tomorrow morning. Tenma can't fly as fast as a flying dragon, and it takes as little as 10 days from here to Pilebos. I want to check the weather and conditions first, and I'll be out in a minute."

"Fine. Ready?"

"Anyway, Jessia must have already moved it, right? Tell her to prepare some food for Tenma too. Tenma has a strong dietary preference, so she may not be able to procure locally."

That's all Tasha told him, he left the spot early. I guess I'll wake the Tenma knights up now and get ready to leave. Tasha, whose main task is reconnaissance, moves fast when she decides to do so.

Other figures also raised their hands, as they followed her. It is a near.

"Alfie, I'm coming too. I would like to be accompanied, if possible, by about ten beasts. There are a lot of people who have been spared a lot of crusading and other tasks lately. I want to keep it diverging."

"I don't mind that."

"Then I'll accompany you, Yao and a few others. Kazas will want to go, too."

"Tell him it's going to be a tough march. Cold control is good."

"Of course."

"I didn't have Atai's name earlier, did I fall asleep and miss asking?

Rosetta followed Nia dissatisfied. Alphilis smiles back.

"Nothing like that. But you've been doing crusade work lately, haven't you? I thought you were tired."

"I'm not tired to that extent. The troops are splitting up and running, so fatigue isn't that much. Besides, if you're going cold, Atai and these people have some experience. Bring 5-10 people, including them, and it'll help."

"Then I guess I will. It would be helpful if you and Lisa could finally pick a candidate."

"Why Atai and Lisa?

"Don't you like it, slut big bitch"

"Don't call me weird!

"Yes, yes, do it later. Anything else?

Several hands were raised thereafter, and tentatively about 30 decided on the spot. Some of them touched faces such as Vant, the new face, and Florence. Alphilis told the rest of the candidates to do so at the first post tomorrow morning and close at five o'clock in the evening, dissolving the scene.

After the dissolution, several figures approached Alphilis softly. It is Muscade, a fiery witch.

"Alfi, are you going to take me?

"That's right. Do you have any idea what it's like to help an ice field witch?

"No, it's the stories between the masters that we're not close to, and I'm apart from the closets - no, that heady tungtung woman is pissed off. Now I remember."

Seeing a sudden and angry muscade, Alphilis laughs bitterly.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think I'm gonna need your help. I think the power of fire is effective when warcraft appears in frozen places."

"I can think of the other way around. Well, Captain, I'll follow your orders, but maybe you shouldn't expect much."

"It's impossible not to expect that."

"Hey, Alfie, I'm going, too."

It was the line that broke into the story. When Alphilis looked at Rhine's face, he deliberately sighed majestically.

"What, are you complaining?

"Ooh, there's a lot of it. I've been exploring something right now, and I don't really want to leave this place until we're done with that."

"I'm in trouble here, too, and I'm going to take this opportunity to pick the center of the new regiment. If you don't stay here, I'm out of my sight."

"Alphilis, Deputy Commander. Don't worry."

When Alphilis and Rhine were about to become contentious, Cowen broke in. The lost voice between Cowen is detoxified at times like this. But the points I point out are always sharp, so I'm not alarmed.

"Lieutenant, do you mean Shane Sereno's politician?

"Ugh... you're right though. You know that?

"It's caught on my information network, too. I'm currently investigating it, so don't hesitate to do it. I'll do this one here, and we'll have to develop and produce weapons."

"Mm... can I take care of it?"

"Please just refill the information later ~"

"It's settled."

When Alphilis, Rhine and Cowen had a light meeting, they left the scene and went into detailed preparation.
