The Branded Female Fencer

Battle in the Seeker, Part 6 – Black Mercenary Regiment

And time, the current Darkas Forest.

“What are you going to do, Louis?

“It’s a message from Valsas.” All emergency assemblies in the western capital of Thirdoid, “yes.”

“… chi. We’re all out of combat.”

A man holds a great sword. Look at that. Female swordsmen, magicians, orcs, and Louis also put their swords away.

“Lexus, so are you”

“Heh.”

Lisa was a little rusty. I heard a voice right behind me. When I noticed, I had a Lexus dagger attached to my throat. An unpleasant sweat flows through Lisa’s back.

“When…”

“Hmm? Ever since you screamed ‘Alpha Reese’.”

“Oh, no…”

A few seconds will have been behind me. It was a shock event for Lisa to not realise she could even sense the impact of a tree leaf falling behind her back.

Lexus strokes Lisa’s head like that.

“You don’t have to look like that. Anyway, this is how many assassins we’re gonna do, right? ‘Cause sensors seem to impress me, so their business goes up. The lady is still sweet as a sensor, and you shouldn’t be overconfident of your abilities. There are magicians and sensors in the world who can crush the capabilities of sensors.”

Lisa is looking at her teeth with regret. On the other hand, the men who had the Great Sword started talking to Louis as if they had already lost interest in the Alphilis and the others.

“Louis, I don’t think you’re the messenger. You’re a pain in the ass. What kind of blow are you?

“Nothing. It just so happens”

“Do you happen to come all the way to this deep forest?

“If you don’t… Let’s be honest and say you don’t like Mr. Valsas!? You couldn’t breathe with me, could you?

Baki!

Lexus blows away with the good sounds.

“… by chance”

“Ugh, um”

Louis’ cold gaze forced the Great Sword man to convince himself. And when you cough one up, a man asks Louis a question.

“So, what happened?

They say Squad 4 has been wiped out.

“Villat’s squad!?

“If it was Squad 5, I wouldn’t have had to get sick.”

“I have to agree with you.”

To this all the opponents who had been fighting gave a surprised look.

“Who did it?

“They say he’s the demon king here. And it’s quite powerful, and there are rumors of the legendary Great Demon King.”

“… and still Valsas retaliates according to the code?

“That’s right. It’s the only code you can call the eagles, isn’t it?

“Then will all units assemble?”

“They even summon people who retired even further back in the day. That’s not enough people, so even eagles imitate this.”

“I see, don’t let your arms buzz”

“Oh, that’s a yes.”

Louis and the Great Sword man laugh niggardly. Use that as a signal, and the others simultaneously distort the edge of their mouths. They are battle freaks. Looking good at that, it looks like they’re all wearing matching coats.

“On a black coat, an embroidered eagle of gold… you guys, no way.” A mercenary army of black eagles led by Valsas “?

Left alone, Miranda casts her doubts as if they were a lie. The people on the court who respond to that question.

“Exactly. There won’t be any fighting for now, shall I name it? I’m Zerver, Captain of Unit 3 of Vandal-Valsas-Blackhawk.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have a deputy captain. I’m Dorothy, deputy captain. So the oak there is Dunda, and the sorcerer’s old man is Bernau. So the unfathomable woman there…”

“This is Sister Louis, Captain of 2nd Squad. So I’m Lieutenant Lexus. Even so, we’re the only two in Squad 2.”

“… it might be a miracle that Atashi and the others are alive now…”

Miranda sighs. That too should be true, the mercenary corps in front of you is a famous mercenary corps that also contends for one or two on the continent. Mercenaries named for the continent include the Tenma Knights of Friedelinde, the Karatzel Cavalry and Muller’s Iron and Steel Soldiers, but there is supposedly no mercenary regiment to the right of ‘Vandal-Valsas-Blackhawk’, especially as those cutting ahead in the battlefield.

They are a group of less than 50 mercenaries in total, but the captain’s condition seems to be to “achieve 100 cuts alone”. For that reason, when Valsas, who takes the alias’ Mad Beast ‘, leads the whole thing, it is said that its power is comparable to that of a single division, so much so that if he saw them on the battlefield, he was told that dragons would also flee barefoot. Though dragons would originally be barefoot! Forget the scratch. But it was a fairly credible story that the captain, Valsas, hunted the Demon King alone.

“In the meantime, you guys aren’t willing to fight the Atasis anymore, okay?

“Oh, ’emergency assembly’ takes precedence over everything. Even if you were to throw in your current request. It’s like the only code in this mercenary corps.”

“That’s right, Alfi. Thank you.”

“Yeah… that!

Miranda took confirmation with Zerver. But Alphilis’ face is not refreshing. Nia can’t seem to heal her frustration without being hit either.

“Thank you, Louis. In the form of your help…”

“I didn’t help you.”

I don’t respond to Louis that way. You felt somewhat sorry for Alphilis for his bewilderment, connect words from Louis. This was really unusual.

“Besides, if I was beating him up, maybe it was the outgoing Zerver.”

“No!

“Hey, Louis! No matter how much you do, you won’t listen!?

“Well, suppress it, Dorothy”

Lexus keeps Dorothy eaten by Louis from behind. When did you turn around behind? A gentle word or deed is a man who is not alarmed at all.

“D, Dorothy. Short air, no, no.”

“I don’t want to be told you’re an orc, Danda!

“When I get angry, and more wrinkles, I hear…”

“This guy!

“Ho ho ho. Dunda won, Dorothy. And even with your strength, Louis and your lord are the difference between cloud mugging.”

“I know!

Apparently, it’s a pretty good mercenary squad for what it is. I don’t think he’s the one who fought until just now. Earlier they all looked like Alphilis and the others like Reapers, but now they’re just human beings of equal size. One of them is an oak.

Zerver controls the noise, which can’t be confused or twisted.

“How long have you been a fool? There’s no use for this forest anymore, let’s go.”

“Right… but I don’t think it would be a hassle to apologize to your employer for once”

“When is that employer coming home?

“Rumor it, you got it”

In the direction that Bernau points to, I see about 30 soldiers and a human unlike this forest dressed in flashy attire if he leads the way. I guess that’s the prince. Well, I don’t know what to say, but whoever sees it doesn’t seem to be smart enough. Eyes away, eyes that don’t focus very well. Moreover, he was in the obese shape of a little boy and had nothing to do with majesty. It would be better suited to say dodo (why) than royal.

Besides, if you put on such a flickering vertical (hiccups) to explore this forest, you must get caught and worn out everywhere. Does it not also understand that it is not suitable for exploration at all? As the Alphilis and the others look at it, it feels like… the prince recognizes them if they notice that gaze.

“Well, then who is it? What are you doing? Are you on our side?

It’s burning everywhere, and I don’t care what you think you’ve been fighting for. Moreover, there will be no sudden arrival of reinforcements against a prince acting in secrecy. Even though Fenna and I haven’t hidden the look of the Seeker. Apparently, what the soldiers say isn’t even off the mark.

Zerver tells the discipline that his mercenary status will make him do the same.

“My employer! I’m sorry, but we can get out of here. I have urgent business to attend to. Pay back your wages on a decent daily basis!

“What!? You think this Third Prince Mustard would admit that? You’re not smart enough?

No, not only the Blackhawk facials and the Alphilis, but also the prince-side soldiers, who say which one is not smart enough. Because of this, the Prince named himself after Zerver, who cared to lay down his identity. Don’t you know what covert action means?

“Zerver, can I just ignore that one now?

“Oh… I didn’t think you were that stupid. Sorry, Louis. Made me take the trouble.”

“Alfi, don’t you think the Atasis and the others are off too? Something, I don’t think I need to deal with a fool or anything. I’ve already got the seal.”

“Miranda think so, too? That’s what I’ve been feeling…”

All the Alphilis and Blackhawk faces are already getting laid. But there were those who watched this sight from the sky.
