The Branded Female Fencer

Miranda slams the table in frustration.

"What are you talking about!?" How could that happen at this time! "

"I'm sure Alexandria didn't participate in this battle." Civil unrest would not be enough. The strongest shield to protect Alexandria has become the strongest sword of treason. ”

Blaugard let out a fuzzy breath. Romansland and Alexandria weren't unholy, but there were many voices accusing Alexandria of not even sending a part of the expedition. Everyone was anxious about the battle before, and it was a statement for that reason, but the lords who were very concerned about the great victory in the Old War stopped accusing, but the situation remained mysterious.

Miranda asks Lafati a quick question.

"Why? If anything, that noble knight will revolt!?"

"I don't have any details on why yet..."

How many men are there?

Rafati answers Dryan's question.

"Yes, it is said that all 30,000 border troops agreed with Diorre-sama." In addition, the regional lords called up the army in a way that endorsed it, and the total number of them exceeded 50,000. "

"Then there will still be more." What is the total strength of Alexandria, Lord Blougard? ”

Blougard answers Dryan's questions in a nutshell.

"Well, I thought there were more Romansland troops alone, but it seems that there is military service in this country. I can't imagine how much strength we'll have if we gather from the peasants..."

“I hear the central army is 80,000. Altogether, it's about 120,000 military reserves. I wonder which way the lords will go."

Shane Sereno answers promptly. And Miranda added.

“In addition, it's up to you which of your neighbors Alexandria is allied with, but it's definitely going to be a big fight. Many countries have a military alliance with Alexandria. No country has been bothered to revise its alliances since the war."

"My country has not concluded a military alliance, but a dozen countries, together with small and medium-sized enterprises, should still have a military alliance. If the Central Alexandria were to convene, there would be no reason to refuse. There are hundreds of thousands of troops that can move."

Shane Sereno's words made the place sink properly. Miranda was moved by the premonition of a war on a scale rarely seen in the dawn, not far from the orcs.

"... I'm sorry, but I'm going to mediate. We'll leave the command here with Lafati and Elsa, so as soon as you have the details on the borders, land concessions, etc., you'll have to mediate between them. Are you sure?"

"I have no objection. Of course, a cease-fire is unlikely to be possible without an Archbishop human movement." We'll take care of this, please, Archbishop Miranda, and we'll make our way to the truce. "

"What have you done so far?" Let's kick the orc remnants and show them to them. Hey, it's King Dryan. "

"Of course, the Orcs will defeat me with responsibility." Doesn't Alfilise think so? "

"Well... when it comes to action for a truce, the mercenary's sphere of competence is exceeded." I'll leave it to Miranda. "

With each agreement, Miranda bowed her head small and walked out with Albert. After making minimal preparations to move, the two flying dragons for moving were driven out and disappeared into the sky. Leaving behind the three who had begun a detailed ceasefire, Alpha Reese dropped off Miranda and Alberto in the sky and left the tent behind.

When she returned to her position, Lisa greeted Alphilees. As soon as Alfilise handed Lisa her coat, she saw that Lisa's soundproof sensors were working, she started laughing out loud.

Fufufufu... ahahahaha!

Have you finally gone crazy?

In a rare laugh to Alpha Reese, Lisa returned the joke with a slight pull. Alpha Reese was laughing, but she didn't smile.

But when Alfilise grabbed Lisa's shoulders hard, she explained with a bitter expression.

"I was right about everything, sadly."

"... that means it's the lowest direction." Did Diorre cause a civil commotion? "

“I might have been the only one who could have grasped it, but Arnelia also had letters and messengers censored, so I knew something about it. Your Highness Blaugard and Schönsellenauer knew for sure. I wonder if King Dryan really didn't know. Who was acting?"

“You acted, too, didn't you?”

"Yeah, it was hard to get used to, but I wonder what it looked like." It was harder to control my grief than that. "

"Do you mean that a lot of people are going to die?"

In response to Lisa's question, Alphilees shook her head.

"No, I'm ready for that."

So what happened?

It's a map.

Map?

"The map brought in by Shane Sereno. It was the same thing as Casas."

Lisa burns her head, not knowing her intentions.

"You think Kazas is the enemy?"

“No, I used a generic detail plan from last night's meeting with Miranda. It was created when Arnelia was surveying the land. It was created decades ago. The map of Casas is about seven years old. It's the latest version, and it's even more accurate.”

“What is that? It's not strange to do land surveys as part of work in Casas, and before that, I had to do work in the central part of the continent."

"There's no way Shane Sereno has it. I mean, the details are classified for the country. If it is leaked to another country, geographical disadvantages and conditions will be leaked as is. Detailed topographical maps are one of the country's treasures. So Casas never told us the details of what country or land he surveyed."

"Ah..."

Lisa noticed it for the first time when she was told. Even in this battle, Alpha Reese, Corwin, and Rhine were working on a tactical plan based on a detailed map, but when talking to less than the battalion commander, they deliberately made a more elaborate map. Lisa understood the meaning for the first time.

Alphilees speaks.

“That's why Casas travels without telling where he's going, even though he's a professor at Mayer. In doing so, they were able to defend themselves, and there were many handlers to defend themselves when they had to become mercenaries. It's because I work on state secrets."

"If that's the case, Shaun Sereno has that map--"

"Shane Sereno is an orc and a guru. No, it's not - Shane Sereno is a black magician. In the first place, it was probably Shaun Sereno who made the request to Casas. The solution has been in operation for at least 15 years. I heard that Kazas' predecessor had a similar request. And I heard that Kazas was the one who finished it. Casas worried about us in this battle, broke the ban and sent us a detailed map. At that time, the circumstances were attached to the letter. And that's not all Shane Sereno set up. Perhaps even the civil unrest in Alexandria."

Even Diorre is on the palm of his hand?

Alpha Reese nodded and looked around.

Rhine and Corwin are out, aren't they?

“Yeah, yeah. What's that?”

"If you're not good enough, the tragedy of the line may also be related to Shane Sereno or the black magician." When I thought about it, I was sad. "

"I don't know..."

Her husband, Lisa, was upset and took off her Alfilise coat. As Alpha Lees sat deeply on her chair, she grabbed the booze and stirred it up. It's unusual for Alpha Reese to run into this behavior, but Lisa couldn't stop it or do anything.

Lisa walked up to Alpha Reese, grabbing a bottle of wine and stirring herself up.

"I thought for the first time since I was born that I had to drink it and I couldn't do it."

"Me, too."

“And what happens if the map is different?”

“The Lords of Romanesque Land and Schönselleno set the boundaries by ceding the land? What would happen if the parties talked to each other based on different maps? It's more obvious than looking at the fire."

The words of Alpha Leith become reality. The arrowhead of the king's desire to chew on the joy of the end of the war came as the Romansland, the Mercenaries, Gruzardo, and Schoenseleno all joined forces to destroy the rest of the Orcs' settlement and sweep away the remnants.

It was reported to them that the Romanesque army, which was trying to cede the land, and some of the followers of Schönselleno had fought over the border, leading to a battle with a large number of dead and wounded in no time.
