728 Missing Talent, Part 107 - Edge ④ -

The force in the layer's arm loosened for a moment. I didn't even think about the possibility. Renatica would of course have thought about it, but she never opines for Alphilis or Lisa herself. I haven't lost my habit of being a servant for years.

But it's not like Layer doesn't use his head while he teaches Lunatica like that. How to make the most of your power. Layers themselves were aware that it was best suited to 'assassination' that could be fought without anyone seeing it.

When the hand of a much alarmed layer loosened, Cowen then slipped out of its hand. Apparently, it's not like you're wearing any martial arts. The movement was clearly not amateur.

"... the movement is also part of the miscellaneous?

"It's the sagging of a woman traveling alone ~"

Cowen's words drained Layer of poison. Apparently, in the interplay in conversation, the layers don't have minutes.

"So, what exactly?

"I like people who talk fast ~. Next battle, I want you to work with Mr. Lunatica to get ahead of the fort and open the main entrance ~"

"That's good, but won't it be unnatural? The gates were open when the mercenaries came to the fort. Besides, I don't have time to get out."

"It's okay - the gates are usually open for citizens to go in and out because some of the fortifications are small but some of the cities - you wouldn't think there was already a fight over there, so it's not strange to keep the gates open ~.

Besides, the main entrance of the fort at the base on the Weasel side is quite large, and it opens and closes with winding chains, not people's hands. So if you break the gate and fix it, you'll have plenty of time to retreat. "

"Okay, then shall we move tonight? Diving into the darkness, the sun begins to move at the same time. Any plans for a raid?

"We go out in the middle of the night and attack at the same time as dawn ~. We don't give our opponents time because speed is life like this ~. Let's do it thoroughly ~"

"Scary people are now one of us."

"I'll take that as a compliment ~"

When Cowen thanked him for the dust, he left the place. Once the layers had unpacked again, they were ready. Now he sharpened his sword so that it could not be broken, and took his sleep and prepared for the night's departure.

"Are you ready?

"Of course ~. Gather the energetic and replenish the supplies ~. As I was told, I also contacted 'em' - and whenever you want."

"It hurts not to be able to reconnaissance because you used Tasha as your liaison officer."

"That's true - but I was wondering if most things would be fine with Lisa's performance. Plus, my demon can be used to some extent."

"Yeah, well, if it's a sudden operation, it's like this."

Alphilis had made a final confirmation with Cowen before he came out. Cowen only sold himself in, and the handiwork, the way the instructions were flown, was very precise. When I was given the regiment's materials from the line, it didn't take half an hour to figure it all out, and by evening I was ready for much.

Of course, it was fortunate that Jessia's replenishment took place at an exquisite time, but thanks to Cowen's skill, the Alphilis and the others were able to make the men who sent them out take their meals and sleep.

What's even more terrifying about Cowen is that the mercenary regiment he hired himself, as well as some of the soldiers in the fort, hired him as a mercenary. Fort soldiers were often original collecting soldiers, such as peasants, and many were unrelated to their holding as military personnel or their emergence. They were rescued by the Alphilis and decided to join the Alphilis regiment, attracted by their treatment as offered mercenaries.

It was almost equal to not being there as a number, but the fact that he saddled from the military to a mercenary would increase the prestige of the Alphilis and the others. Alphilis' original companion was quite hurt and tired, but morale remained high thanks to the soldiers exposed to heat.

The soldiers, who have already finished their temporary sleep, are ready to go out. When Lisa came to tell her about it, Cowen made further suggestions.

"Lord Alphilis, can I have one?"

"I don't know, I should be ready by now."

"This mercenary regiment won't do a victory ritual?"

Cowen's opinions were primitive that didn't resemble hers. Sure, I do do do things like flying a pigeon before I go out, but I didn't even think I was going to say ritual. Because I thought those rituals would be done in a bigger fight.

When Alphilis is reluctant to reply a little, he goes on as Corwen guessed.

"The next battle will be easy - but it will never be lost for this mercenary regiment -? This battle is not complete - it can hurt you again - you should do what is possible to win."

"I know that, but... but what do you do?

"I know who this mercenary regiment is ~. There are people who are good at times like this ~"

As a dust, Cowen had advanced to Alphilis. After a while, the humans gathered in front of the main entrance of the fort. There was also Louis and Lexus there.
