The Branded Female Fencer

"Ugh, it's getting cold like an idiot. Isn't there a warm beverage ration?"

A soldier defending the walls of the first gate leaked his dissatisfaction. Frozen nights, white moons are new moon nights. Only the blue moon illuminates the whole area lightly, and the blue moonlight pours out to make the whole area colder.

It wasn't as cold as the snow, but Roman's Land soldiers knew it. When it rains in this air, it becomes snow, and that is when a full-fledged winter general arrives. However, I think it will be a little later in the calendar.

For the Romanesque regular army, it's a defense battle. It was also true that although morale was not low, there was an atmosphere where one could not expect cold and snow.

"Normally, you'd behave like a cup of alcohol." Great-san says there's a night raid tonight. "

Of course, I think the way enemies retreat during the day is strange, but it's nice enough to warm up, right?

"Everyone realizes that defensive battles are just around the corner." Even if you are not careful, you probably think that the walls could be broken down. "

"Is this a solid wall?"

"The walls are nothing but walls. It is man who protects them."

The battalion captain and the man who thought he heard the commotion stunned the surroundings. The soldiers saluted unexpectedly, but there was no room for frustration or exhaustion. The battalion commander wanted to look at the expression, but the cloud quickly blocked the blue moon. When their faces hid in the clouds, the battalion commander felt his heart lightened. I'm tired, too, but I didn't want to see their expressions when I expected them to struggle any more while my men were overburdened.

"I know you're tired, so am I." But if the enemy breaks in, we'll have our own territory from here. It's our property and our family that's been ravaged, isn't it? My wife, my daughter, my parents. Can you see the reality that the enemy is hitting you with your fingers? "

"" "It's impossible!" "

“So you know what you need to do as a proud Roman's Land soldier and as a man?”

"" "Of course!" "

"Without saying anything, increase the bonfire and concentrate on your stance!" I'll hang with the captain about the liquor. "

The battalion commander stood apart, but the lieutenant gently approached and revealed the truth.

"Are the soldiers dissatisfied?"

"The soldiers are not stupid either. They are aware that there are obviously fewer rations and fewer turnovers compared to normal borderline and outbound forts. Everyone will understand what it means, even if they don't say it.”

If they do, then maybe one of them will betray me.

What kind of atmosphere was that at the battalion captain's meeting?

The battalion commander smiled bitterly at the first officer's words.

"Do you think such an atmosphere can produce dust in the presence of His Highness Blaugard?" Just a sign will make my neck fly. And you saw the end of a stupid general who went against His Majesty's word and policy? Since then, no one has ever been able to argue directly with His Highness Blaugard, Mastermind Krauszel, or the mercenary Alphi Reese. "

Is that female mercenary so brilliant?

"I have to admit, it's brilliant." This unwanted start of the war would have caused even more damage if it hadn't been for her commanding Jaeger's ability to transmit and support her retreat. Even after the castle gate, Jaeger indirectly communicated and communicated information, so don't you think he managed to hold out without destroying the defense? "

It's true.

While Müller's Iron and Steel men provide direct support to the Romanesque Army and the Friedelinde Tianma Knights provide sentry missions and air support, Jaeger rarely takes part in combat and focuses on rear support and signalling. But when the defenses are in danger, we'll be the first to fill the hole. For the first time in my life, I could only say that I was brilliant.

If the Dragon Knights could cover us more from the sky, it would be easier to fight.

"Several times, they scorched me with flames to cross the enemy." Every time, people flew out of Guruzard's Beastmen Squad, and many of the Dragon Knights were knocked down. There seemed to be a lot of sorcerers, but they were using wind magic to block the flames. It would also be very damaging to only charge the Dragon Knight in a situation where the opponent cannot be pushed. "

Is it the Dragon Knights who push their opponents to retreat or have accompanying infantry?

"That's the original method of operation." Flying dragons fly to the ground when attacking or spitting fire on the opponent. Of course, there was also a counterattack from the opponent. In addition, do you think the prideful ones will tolerate stupid actions such as dropping stones from the sky? "

Impossible.

Seeing the lieutenant shrugged his shoulders, the battalion commander sighed. At that time, the bonfire grew at once, illuminating the darkness of the night. Outside the castle gate, the bodies of the Allied forces were piled up. It is customary not to do anything to retrieve the remains, but it seems that the Confederate forces are not going to mourn the bodies of their comrades this time. That's all they had to do, but they couldn't believe that Roman's Land was hating them.

I don't remember buying that much grudge from them.

"Yes, I can't bury the body of my own people."

"If you leave it alone, it will eventually start as an undead." I want to purify them, but what are the Arnelians doing? ”

"It looks like you're helping the last one, but you haven't seen them at all. You may still not know what to do with this fight.”

"I don't want to do it just for the unnecessary grudge." I don't want to feel like I'm from Romansland, but I don't want to go to any country with a narrow shoulder. ”

The lieutenant gave a strange look at the words. Understanding the intention, the battalion commander hurriedly took care of it.

“I'm not going to betray you?”

"I know, you're the one who married the nobility of Roman's Land." However, if anyone but me asks, they'll doubt your loyalty. "

"We have wives and children." You probably need to think about what to do if you lose. Even if you lose, you won't be able to lose your neck in a row. "

Would you like to hire Jaeger?

"That's good." His mercenary corps is run by Prime Minister Ediod's daughter. It seems that there are many other nobles, so I'm sorry for the rough treatment. "

The lieutenant was joking, but besides that, the battalion commander seemed to take it head-on. When the First Officer, worried about what to say, suddenly turned to the confederate faction, a strange sight came to his attention.
