The Branded Female Fencer

"That's why there's another one here." We set up a foolish operation that the opponent did not expect, and the female mercenary told us that it was important to ensure that it was perfectly tailored and carried out. Whether or not we can complete that solution will determine everything. "

"It's a maneuver that can only be seen as a fool's strategy?" What the hell is that? "

"Separate the soldiers. Rohr, Ron, take Vargo and Bahia back to Gruzard." Then turn your way to Krums and crush Tragathlon's expeditionary forces. If I had to, I wouldn't mind destroying it. Leave me and Celio, Lunka, Kapur, and 5,000 soldiers here. "

"If you do that, our capital, the Grand Valley, will fall!" There's no place for a proper defense between you and Dristol, is there? It might be possible to drop 25,000 Tragathlons, but what can the King do with 5,000 soldiers!? "

In response to Ron's complaint, Dryan shook his head.

"Ron, that's a different premise. We have no capital. It's a land of people, and the Gran Valley just happens to be populated. I'm just a device to protect them. If you have to, you can abandon the capital. If the people and the soldiers are alive, you can do anything. You don't have to stick to the land like a human."

But being a decent country...

"That's useless." Probably not that kind of battle. If you make a mistake about what you throw away or what you leave behind, that's what they think. I can't go back to Gruzard for a while. I'll leave it to you. Do you understand? "

Roch confirms what Dryan said.

Because the king will stay here like this?

"I want you to see it." At the end, you might need my help. "

Is that the same female mercenary?

"Yes, it is."

Dryan, believing what Alphonse said, was stuck in Ron's words, but Kappl asked Dryan calmly.

I think she liked that girl mercenary a lot.

"I see, I like it as much as my companions like La Pentie who once traveled together." Back then, I was thrilled to see the next scene, but it was close to it. It looks like my emotions haven't rusted yet. "

Is there a prospect?

"Don't worry, I won't be reckless." My guess is this is the best way to win. You've seen how she fought in the Orcs before. Believe me. "

"Speaking of which, that first officer who made a good effort in front of us is the one who is obediently following us." It's worth believing in. ”

"Rohr is cheating on that man."

Well, that's...

Rocha shrugged his shoulders at Dryan's point. And then Ron patted the couples on the shoulders.

"Give up, Prime Minister." The king will not listen once he has spoken out. And so the king obeyed us, and we came this far. We'll have to do it again and again. "

"That was when Lord Zeldos was there." It's like riding in a carriage without two wheels to bet on our own recklessness. Where are you headed? "

"If only you didn't enjoy it."

I know, but at least I want to avoid falls.

Ron fell asleep as if he had given up with a big sigh. And as he left Dryan's tent, Ron opened his mouth.

"It's a problem for the king, too." I want you to be more prepared and prepared in advance. ”

"But I'm not imposing, I'm not imposing." In your head, you're already preparing to retreat? "

"Yes, of course. I thought if we were going to split the army, there would be a few left. I thought it would be 5000." I just found out one thing. "

What?

"The number 5000 is the number of pre-prepared cold equipment. The king is going to spend the winter in Roman's Land.”

“You're going to fight the romantic cold?”

"Well, that's right." It was prepared with the cooperation of His Highness Reifan, but I guess he expected the battle to be long-lasting, but if Lord Alfiris had said so, I might have thought about it from the beginning... oh? "

Ron saw a human in black as he went through the ranks. I wasn't sure if it was Ron's eyes in the distance, but it seemed that I had no problems with Kappl's vision.

"Is that... a black hawk?" Are you on the side of Shane Sereno? "

“I heard that Black Hawk is splitting up his entire unit. Looks like you don't have a contract with Romansland, but Shane Sereno does. It can't be that strange."

“We have an employment contract with Zeldos, and we hired the best intelligence unit... which unit is that?”

"Hmm, it's a unit I haven't seen much of." Because human faces don't look so different. "

"It's outdated, old Kapur." Humans these days can even tell our ugliness from our beauty. However, the criteria seem to be slightly different. ”

"There seems to be more mixed blood with humans in towns close to Beastmen." Times change, don't they? "

Kapur and Roach started chatting as they did, but Ron often followed their gaze as they felt like they were heading for a Schoenseleno tent.

Shane Sereno is good at information and financial resources, and he has impeccable military equipment. I thought I wasn't strong enough, but all the knights in the tent were very skilled. Perhaps even if I was bleeding out there, I felt pressure enough to let Shane Sereno escape. When I made myself feel that way, I was sure to be quite good in humans, but I was even more suspicious that Shane Sereno had so many knights.

What is the point of her hiring a Black Hawk? Ron realized the ingredients were not enough, and he lamented Amur's suggestion that there were not enough intelligence units like the one currently operating on Alpha Reese.



“If I could just look at the flow of supplies, I could imagine.”

In response to reports from the Grouzard army that they were leaving behind some of their troops to begin retreating, Alphilees explained to the generals of Romanesque lands.

Alphi Reese calmly responded to the generals who panicked to hear that Zagaria had been overthrown by Gruzardo and that his ground forces had been destroyed. Guruzard's main force is retreating soon, and he's less of a threat. The rationale for this was questioned, and Gruzard said that a war would break out in the neighborhood.

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, which interacts with Alphilees, has a large number of items related to clothing, food and housing. Especially when it comes to battle preparation, preserving food and tents is essential, and in large-scale battles, the country invariably buys large quantities.

This time, there was no bigger purchase, but Alphilees checked the flow of goods with Jessia over the past 10 years and listed the countries that had enough stockpiles to make a war possible. And similar information was shared with Dryan, Rayfan, and Muse during the Continental Peace Conference. As a worst-case scenario, it was assumed that the nations would start a war as soon as the Allied Forces were launched.

Especially since Tragaslon, Dristol and so on have only dispatched to an unfortunate extent, there is a possibility that they are planning something, so they were vigilant in advance.

“If you look at the flow of weapons, you'll know for sure.”

Whisper said in Alphilees' tent. After explaining to the generals and returning to his tent, Whisper supplemented Alphilees. Alpha Reese was working with Whisper to get behind the scenes.

Whisper takes over the leadership of Almus, but does not give detailed orders under normal conditions, and apparently leaves the operation to the respective departments and chambers of commerce to make a profit. The reports are coming up, so if you look at how much profit is made in which region and the weapons are in circulation, it's clear where the next battle will take place, even if there is no report.

Alphilees read roughly, and in the south there was a rally aimed at Gruzardo's absence. In the eastern countries, small-scale rebellions of local lords were rioting. At the same time, there were frequent attacks from small to medium-sized monsters, mainly demonic individuals. The countries on the east side were in great chaos, and each one was no longer in the midst of an army of convergence.

It was Shane Sereno, the only one who had taken care of the princes. If the lords retreat in a hurry, they will think of Romansland, Arnelia will have to deal with the monster outbreak, and if the rebellion of the lords of the region is of such magnitude, they will have to concentrate on the Romansland in front of them, as long as they have the strength to deal with most countries.

There was nothing wrong with that explanation, and even Elsa and Aristo, who were present, were worried about Shane Sereno's enthusiasm.

However, since there were no clear shortcomings to be disputed, Elsa had to agree to allocate personnel to investigate the monsters that occurred in the kingdom of the lords on behalf of Miranda, and she decided to allocate half of Arnelia's current strength to you. As a result, the confederate army was almost consolidated by the lords who followed Schönselleno and transformed into a group that could be said to be an army of Schönselleno.

Meanwhile, Roman's Land...

"We need to retreat."

Alphilees' commitment was to retreat with minimal human damage. However, in the process of retreat, all the surrounding towns and villages were set on fire and burned down with houses. And the fort was thoroughly destroyed. There were sporadic battles everywhere, but it wasn't enough to spread the damage, it was just enough time to retreat and scrap the land.

In addition, the number of displaced persons increased, and many of them moved southward. The flow was induced by Alphilees, but many of them spontaneously headed south. They know that the food situation in Roman's Land is not good.

While doing such a thing, the peace ambassadors came and went in each other's positions, but the story never walked against each other in parallel, and only time passed. The only thing that matches with each other is that we understand that such messengers are all in shape and have no meaning.

Meanwhile, Alphilees saw more of the sky. At first, Lisa thought she was going to take a breath, but her expression was getting steeper by the day. The surrounding forest gradually reduced the number of green leaves, and the wind began to contain coldness. The summer season was already over, and it was evidence that autumn was approaching. However, in the fall of Roman's Land, the leaves were deciduous, and the colour of the leaves did not change, and the scene of the fierce wind gradually spread.

... that's not good, is it?

“What's wrong with you?”

Lisa, who also serves as an escort and liaison, asks in the middle of the meadow, beside Alphilees, who looks up at the sky. Alpha Reese didn't answer the question and told Lisa to call Closse. Lisa responded with a bow.

Soon after Closess arrived, Alphilees pointed to the sky.
