The Branded Female Fencer

"Do you have any information against that fog?

"You want me to teach you for free?

"You're a stubborn woman. Don't you see that this is a critical situation?

"I don't have much thought for Tarram either. Arnelia won't even tell you to accomplish your mission in this situation. We run away if we're in danger. Mercenaries."

"Shit, you did. Then what do you want? I'm telling you, it's no big deal to pay a vigilante leader."

Alphilis thought, Hmm, I told him a little embarrassed.

"Then... a provocation during today's battle. Will you forgive me for that? I don't mean it. He's the one who fought... that."

"Oh, that's right"

I looked sorry for Liliam when she just didn't say anything shameful, so on the contrary, Alphilis ate the face.

"You mean that... you were seriously pretty for that, weren't you?

"Well, on that topic, I can't restrain myself. The people who touched on that topic, no exceptions. I've cut them. But my head knows it's only a provocation. Still, there's nothing I can do about it, so I can't help it.

But your prospects were successful, weren't they? I fought for real, and that's what you wanted, right?

"Did you find out? If you think so, I'm comfortable with it, too. Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll ask you later, could we have been recognized?

"Well... if you could help me in this fight, would I decide to judge you there?

"Hey."

Liliam laughed all the time as Alphilis got a troubled face.

"Just kidding, I was just being a little mean. Yeah, I'll admit it when it comes to strength. Surely there will be just enough power to protect Tarram.

But you can't say anything about anything else. I see the individual strength. As far as tactics and organizational skills are concerned, we'll see in this battle. Though that's not all Tarram needs. "

"That's right. But come on. I'm going to show you. Besides, we're not trying to get involved with the vigilante right now. First of all, I just want the opportunity to engage with this city.

For that matter, if we're active in this battle, why don't we get Lilliam to nominate another ruler?

"Well, I can promise you that much. You just don't know what the rest of them are thinking, do you?

"You're right about that. But it's up to me from there. All right, so can you tell me what's going on? If the tarram dies, there's no way to use it."

Following the words of Alphilis, Lilliam points to the four gates.

"That's where Cassandra is holding down the enemy that came in through the four gates. The vagabond at the four gates transforms into a mob that does anything depending on the reward. Most of the time, they seemed to have taken some action before we moved, and I honestly don't know much about the four gates. Even though it's so dirty, the plague isn't endemic, and for the corpse to roll over there, it's handled regularly. There are rumors that the Bandrass Bandits are in Negijo or something, and there was an anonymous story this time. The enemy will attack you from there, so hurry. I didn't think an information network earlier than ours would be.

By the time we arrived, the evacuation of the inhabitants had begun, and it felt strange to have responded too well. When it comes to protecting Tarram, it's like there's a lot more to it than the vigilante. "

"That's the ruler of Tarram?

"I've heard that story, but I've never honestly felt its existence. Doesn't that mean it's still that crisis or is it really just a rumor? Maybe it's because of my inexperience. However, looking at previous vigilante records, it seems that a strange phenomenon has occurred several times during the crisis in Tarram. More, it was a long time ago.

In the meantime, we have a hold on the four gates. You'll figure it out even as it stands. The problem is, the fog. "

"I see. So, about the fog, but do you know the Knights of the Temple were with us?

"Yeah, I'm grabbing it here, too. You've got quite a few in there, haven't you? That's why I raised my guard against you, right? The Knights Temple's reputation is fragrant when it comes to crusading demons, but honestly it's creepy when it comes to their lack of expertise. Knights who can enter and leave any country and carry out military operations and even have the right of command over the armies of that country. It's hard to say you're welcome on the inside."

"I agree with you on that, but they're on another official assignment this time. I was dispatched to investigate the multiple blade wounds in this taram. Maybe that was convenient, but at least I think Arnelia saw the possibility that something out of the public was involved. You don't have the authority to order me to do anything about their actions, and I don't know the details.

He was just saying that as far as that fog was concerned, there would almost certainly be an outside demon involved. Now they're on their way to the investigation, too. I guess we'll have to leave you to the Knights Temple. "

"I see... speaking of which, the fog seems to be spreading at a slower rate than barely earlier. Maybe there's been some progress."

Liliam observed carefully looking at the fog as if it were a creature. Fog that moves without being flushed by the wind, despite the wind. Although I am concerned about the fog that moves that I can only assume will, Liliam does not have the means to do something about the fog. There are many suspicious sorcerers in Tarram, but most of them are incensed and few have power. Numerous sorceries installed in Tarram also believe that the suspicious ones are installing them on a dizzying own.

As for Liliam, I needed to do something I could do on my own.

"So all we can do is prepare for the outside enemy. I wonder how you've consolidated your defenses."

"That's the thing, isn't it hard to protect and win? Tarram is vast, and 10,000 defensemen is not enough to fully defend this many cities. Instead, we should stop the enemy and work out a plan in the meantime."

"I know what you're trying to say. What exactly do you want me to do?

"Let's just say they're mostly orcs. Besides, weapons are just crude stuff, no throwing weapons. Then it's easy to do. Can I get you a thousand horses? And I'd like to borrow the Vigilante Intelligence Network."

"You have an idea, don't you?

"Of course. It's hard to win altogether, but maybe even reinforcements can hold up after a little while"

Alphilis laughed more and told Lilliam what to do.
