The Branded Female Fencer

"Uh, just don't come after me, okay?"
"Wow... too much running and no feeling"
Güntz falls asleep on the ground and breathes out, and Cerberus looks back at his back as he sweats massively. They continued to retreat with all their might, even after shaking off the pursuit of the Carazel Cavalry and Aerial. I don't think so first, but not necessarily without tracking from the sky. A cut cliff would completely hide us in the dragon's nest, but we still couldn't be relieved halfway there.
Running for nearly another half day. They were reaching the relay point they had built inside the dragon's nest. Here a herd of oaks form a faction on 5,000 sizes. This position is the real purpose of this expedition, but Cerberus also considered the possibility that the position had not been maintained. This is a dragon's nest. Ancient Now Where every dragon, east and west gathers together and ends its raw. Some of them are dead and still protect this place. Thousands or so in just a herd of orcs, it wasn't weird to be kicked around.
Cerberus was first surprised that the formation was safe. Besides, I also cared that the orcs were moving oddly neatly, so I appropriately grabbed one and asked what was going on.
"Hey, Ome. What the hell is going on here? There was no dragon raid?
"I did, but I repelled a few times. At the end of the day, when the big black dragon came, I thought it was no good anymore. People like Lidil came back, and I stumbled on it, and I managed to bring it back together."
"Lydil did? Where's that Riddill?
"I'm kind of in a mood, hunting dragons barking when I get back. Thanks to you, Ora and the others are safe. Hehe..."
He was an oak with a humble and disgusting grin, but Cerberus let it go because the circumstances swallowed him up. Until a while ago, I was a similar oak myself, but when I look at it again, I think it's a pissed creature. It's unclean and ugly, only appetite and lust in my head. As a fellow countryman, I thought you were a creature that didn't have the affection to be dear, but didn't know any emotions even if you died for now. This disposable expedition also convinced me. I appreciate the sarcasm and intelligence of Anomalie, but I wouldn't have liked to thank Anomalie.
And if Lydill is like that, Cerberus noticed that this whole control thing is strange. I walked to the center of the formation myself because I was no longer in the mood to have a conversation with as many orcs as I had just had. Gunz seems careless, but he's following me. Then we saw an unexpected person there. For the orcs, there was also a small human being in the eye who naturally skipped the instructions.
"... a fighter, huh?
"Oh, are you back, Cerberus, Gunz? That was about half a day earlier than I expected."
The man who received Cerberus and Gunz with a nostalgic smile is the 'Schemer', the actual commander of this expedition to hide who, the mercenary Everhaden-Clausel. Cerberus knew how this manoeuvre, which looked like a boy too, was out of human common sense. Perhaps even Anomaly will not be able to prepare a strategy to this point. As for the battle, it was genius and above all ruthless.
Krausel himself was free to do his job at his request, placing himself in the line of Zems the brave as a mercenary. Some of them have also deviated from the mercenary rule of giving tactics to enemy allies at the same time. Therefore, the Alliance was given close vigilance to surveillance as a cautionary figure, and the number of requests was gradually decreasing. Still, what still requires him is his reputation for being highly strategic and invariably bringing in victory? It is not only the war that brings him victory, it extends to business, bureaucratic examination prep, and even paparazzi.
But the other thing to remember is that the side he brought victory to once is more than a fall, or a collapse, after it must be said. Whoever was most concerned about the plotter's strategy, which could be called the sword of the blades, and what the consequences would be, was the anomaly.
"I disagree with you leaving him in command. He has a habit of enjoying the war itself. So I'm sure it will bring us victory and then ruin."
Anomaly was the first to disagree when Oranzebul told him that he would hire the plotter as his commander. But without being heard, the plotter hired a plotter as the local commander of the war with Romansland as its axis. Cerberus remembered that Anomaly was leaking dissatisfaction about it.
"What is your master thinking too! Did you see his face?
"No, you're not on the spot."
"I laughed thinly as I shook down respectfully! He's got no power whatsoever. He's gonna take this one. Yeah, actually, your head's pretty, I admit it. But it's not something I really figured out what I was thinking, and it's not something I figured out what I'd do if I let the one with the desire for ruin have power!
"That's what you say?
"Shut up!"
Memories were also obscured because of scattered experiments after such interactions, but it was very rare that Anomaly made her emotions expensive about others. And it was also the first time Cerberus had heard Anomaly so self-respecting admit that she was smart about her opponent.
But the anomaly is gone. Even Cerberus has a bad feeling that no one can stop this plotter. Was that the same for Gunz, sending a slightly more meaningful gaze to Cerberus?
