The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 67 - First Day of Conference, Night ① -
Renatica was moving in the dark. On the first night of the Continental Peace Conference, no one is the first to be caught in that appearance of avoiding the lights and moving in such a way as to slip through the darkness. Even sensing body temperature and breathing like sensors, Renatica doesn't breathe like sensors do, and even lets you adjust your temperature. Renatica, who also avoids witchcraft traps with experience and contemplation, can enter the enemy formation so deeply that it is difficult for others to penetrate. Using that technology, he had succeeded in infiltrating the Romansland formation.
Romansland had a formation in the suburbs a little further away than Arnelia. Of course, the lack of an open place was the biggest factor, but there was also a request from the Romansland side that they want to line up farther than Arnelia. As for Arnelia, that was safer, but the offer was not appreciated in that it made it harder to grasp the movement. There was also the view that if any of them were attacked by a flying dragon, it would have nothing to do with some distance etc.
As far as Renatica could tell, Romansland was strengthening his vigilance net as if it were a time of war. There were numerous watches and witchcraft traps around the formation. Fortunately, there are many magicians in Romansland who are immature, and the trap did not enter into anything for Renatica, but barely penetrated it.
It was Lunatica, who had already reached the outside of the security net in the centre of the formation, but from there to the discomfort ahead, he could not make a decision to break in.
"(Strict security outside the vigilance net, but only within normal limits of vigilance. But in this -)"
Inside the Romansland formation was quiet. It's normal for security to be tighter within the line, and it's odd that there's hardly even a temper in the first place. Even though it's spring, it's still cold at night. It's no surprise the night police are taking turns and hitting the fire. We can assume that we don't want to be explored for what's going on in the formation, but it's still in the war, and if we don't even have the lights, we'll stay around.
Yet there are signs of those who move around, so they are creepy. Renatica remembered the contents of the request again.
"(There are two orders for Alphilis. One is to deliver a letter to Anneclose. The other thing is to explore what's going on in the formation. Getting ready for formation if possible, and also finding out if you intend to set up a battle - you need to get inside a little more to explore. but)"
Lunatica was outside the formation, feeling signs of spies other than herself. I guess not only Arnelia, but countries are spying on the same ideas as Alphilis. But everyone felt the same discomfort and creepiness, and a step could not be taken.
I've waited to see if anyone could set me up, but I'm just going to spend some time in jail as I am.
"(If I had a layer, I might have been slightly different, but this is my area. I can't help it any longer. Go)"
Renatica never took a step into the formation with her will. At that moment, he felt a willingness to kill rise as if springing from the entire formation.
"(Not murderous, murderous. There are enemies all over there, but they don't look good. Where the hell are you?
Even Renatica, accustomed to the darkness, doesn't see any enemy figure. But the intent to kill flew faster from the front than the arrows, so Renatica was reflexively stumped. I got one of those from the front, but some of Matchett's blades are missing.
"(I just got a new one, even though it's made of Mithril)"
What truncated me was a bat with abnormally developed back legs. The head is as stiff as a diamond. As soon as Renatica was truncated, she began to hear the chirping, chirping and rubbing the jaws of the bugs in front. Plus, you start to hear bubbles, bubbles and even low feathers. There's another kind in the sky, some kind of bug floating around.
Almost at the same time as Lunatica's perception, bugs floating in the sky strike. It looks like a quack, but no quack strikes me with a sigh of saliva when I look at a human. He flew around in slow but irregular orbit, and he's been following Matchett.
Lunatica tries to shake it off, but it was mutual with Lunatica's arm force in propulsion.
"(What, you bug!?
Renatica was to deal with bugs like bullets and bugs flying irregularly at the same time. Well, Lunatica thought that if there was a bug like this, he didn't need an escort, etc., but he couldn't help but move on or retreat from the side of the battle. I thought at least one more person, if anyone could handle it - and I was ashamed of myself for regretting not bringing the layer.
"(Alphilis asked me. Not with someone, just me. If I don't do it alone)"
Renatica's determination was stiff, but still sometimes nothing can be done physically. There are obviously more bugs flying in than the rate at which Lunatica is judged. It is possible to fight while avoiding at least one of the bugs, but Renatica also did not expect this to be difficult to fight, just because there are two different types of bugs in different flight orbits.
And it was when the bug attack blurred Renatica's feet, and she fell ill. The bugs jumped at Lunatica at the same time.
