The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

"Superior!

When Keel pops out before me, he slashes and lays down the soldiers that have been attacked.

I threw a knife at the archer after him to cover it.

"Even with the handy number 99, they seem to have difficulty dealing with them alone."

When Rodion regains his sword, he unleashes a slash on Keel.

The sword and sword crossed, making a gimpy noise.

"Well... you're still the owner of the medium skill. I'm still a young swordsman."

"Gu......"

Keel took Rodion's attack as he devoured his teeth.

Behind him on the defensive side, a soldier with a sword sneaks up.

"Danger......!

I throw a knife at the soldier who was behind the keel.

The knife was brilliant, piercing the back of the soldier and falling to the ground.

(... not at all, I can't believe I cover for my situation without being able to grasp it either... I'm a fool too)

By unconsciously letting go of my prey, I am now significantly less combative. It was not the soldiers of the Diagilev Empire who would miss it.

One or two of them and I are slashed, and they are physically sank, but again they do not give me a gap with prey. There's also a belly wound, and I'm getting cornered.

"I'm not dead!

I was aware of the sword-wielding soldier from behind, but my body couldn't keep up with that reaction. Eating my teeth as I prepared to use one arm for buffering material I stuck my left hand out.

"- Guh."

After all this time, the pain doesn't run on my arm. I wasn't the one who raised the groan, I was the soldier who was about to be slashed.

"I knew mercenaries admiring knights were weak."

From behind the soldier who had been slashed for saying so, a burning red-haired man - Sam the Red Wolf - appeared.

I keep my eyes open with surprise, but soon I return to my original faceless expression.

(It doesn't seem like it's new...)

In the lady's story, Sam said he was kept by the Diagilev Empire as a mercenary. Now his clothes are identical to those of the soldiers guarding the castle. Sam, who was relative in Wang Du Church, did not do any good to betray his employer, he was like a man who would fight to his death if he were to bend his hold.

(Why did this man help me...?

When Sam cut down a nearby soldier at Halvard, he stood next to me and turned Halvard toward Rodion.

Rodion stares at Sam as he kicks Keel and takes his distance.

"At one soldier's minute, do you betray the army? It would be a fine military violation."

"Hate, I'm a mercenary from the roots. As long as you're getting paid, you just follow your employer's intentions. You don't like such a snug army and I'm obedient to it."

"Did your employer order you to join the army as a mercenary? From reaction no. 99, apparently she and her employer are different"

Rodion just calmly observes this one.

"... Red Wolf, how did you help me?

"It is also with the mercenary power that we can draw the thoughts of our employers. The fact that you're here means the little black cat lady's here, right? Then it's the right thing to do…!

Sam kicks the ground, wields Halvard and unleashes a blow all over Rodion.

"Livestock dog! I'll take the black butterfly and deflect it......!

"Okay!

Keel turned his back on Sam, who meets with Rodion, and ran out holding me.

"Let go...!

"Haha! Marie's hurt, but she's fine."

I've given up Keel, who won't let me go again and again, and decided to check on Rodion and Sam.

I thought there was a small explosion, a white smokescreen covering the perimeter they were fighting for. At the same time a red shadow appeared, as it chased us. Apparently, he was able to leave the fight with Rodion.

"That mercenary is a good guy! Now we can get to the Eds. When you're late, you're always so loud."

Rather than prying into his relationship with Rodion, Keel turns to me, as usual, with a brilliant smile like a boy.

"... your brain weather may be your greatest talent"

I was weak, keeping my body completely in Keel, and keeping my strength warm to protect my daughter.
