Chapter 347 – Marching Outward-7
Underground headed for La Russa with 3,000 troops from Warris.
3 days to Larussa.
However, Jiha deliberately moved his troops slowly.
“The army… Isn’t that quick?”
In the middle of the army, next to the underground riding on horseback, a woman with the same hair as hers said quietly.
She is beautiful but has a blank face and soft but small voice, so you have to concentrate to talk.
It was Vissel, the librarian of the barracks library.
“I’m asking this out of the blue, but why are you here?”
“Letter of introduction… I gave it to you.”
Among the troops Uben sent up, Vissel was among them.
He looks like a young lady who must have spent dozens of years reading books, but she was surprisingly good at riding horses.
“I saw that. Why is a writer in the middle of the army?”
Vissel was recommended by Uben as a writer, and Zhaa seemed to do the same.
It was unexpected to accompany the military action.
“You have to see for yourself… Write it.”
“If a battle breaks out, I won’t be able to protect you.”
The basement made a false threat.
Bissell is surprisingly adapting to the military march without much difficulty.
But so far, will it be like this even if it is a non-combat situation, a combat situation?
“Why… Are you going slow?”
“Should I tell you?”
The other commanders and uniques were also curious, but Jiha didn’t say anything.
However, Vissel just stared blankly, wondering if he had no fear or if he didn’t know that the underground was scary.
Bissell said slowly.
“Inspiration… I need this. In your actions… Inspiration for You need to know better to use it better. So I came.”
“You are sincere.”
It is surprising that a woman who has been in the library for a long time joins the march.
When he made up his mind to become a writer for the Red Union, he tried to be as faithful as possible.
It’s not a big secret, so there’s nothing to hide.
“I am putting pressure on La Russa by sending Ashira first. We’ll give it a little more time, and let the rumors go first that two more of Unique and I are going. People in the city will become more anxious, so something will come out.”
“All… Are you going to kill me?”
Bissell asked in a transparent voice.
It wasn’t criticism or worry, it was just a question.
“If necessary.”
“… I will write.”
“Write everything and have me do the final review.”
Vissel nodded his head and went back to his seat.
Originally, I was going to interview Bissell in person, but I put it off, but this happened.
In the letter of introduction that Uben had brought, Vissel was very curious about the underground, so he always kept him by his side and said that he would do well.
“You put an officer on me…”
The job of recording the king’s words and actions, Bissell’s job was a war writer.
The records left by Wordslandi Vissel, who lacked communication technology, will have a great meaning in the future.
‘I do write sentences well, but.’
It’s a face I’ve seen for a long time, so I’m concerned. Can such a dazed woman adjust well to military life or something like that?
From what I’ve heard, it seems to be doing surprisingly well.
Underground shook his head, but this time another sign approached.
Not a horse, but a person, Gasiel, flew off and landed next to the basement.
She refused to ride her horse because it was against Elyos etiquette. There was no problem with her, as she could just fly like now.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Look around and come.”
“… Is that a job I can take on?”
Gasiel was dumbfounded.
Of course, color is always important. However, to say that the unique Gasiel is scouting the surroundings, it is a story of cutting down on level swordsmanship.
“It’s not the first time, so why are you being angtal?”
“… It’s already the 3rd day. First of all, I followed it because it was the name of the military, but I don’t think this is the case.”
“I can fly, so I can see better. Are there any enemies around, how is the distribution of private houses, and also find out the campgrounds.”
Gasiel shook his head skeptically and looked down into the basement.
“There is something I want to say.”
“If you do a good job scouting and come back, I’ll listen to you tonight.”
“… I heard that story yesterday.”
“Wrong. Yesterday was, ‘If you do a good job scouting and come back, I’ll give it to you next time.'”
“I heard that too!”
“At that time, it was ‘I’ll think about it if I do well in reconnaissance’. It’s progressing little by little. Keep trying.”
Gasiel let out a moan of pain.
He believed the words of the underground and went on reconnaissance every day, but somehow he felt cheated.
“… It’s tonight. Do not forget it.”
Gasiel took off once more with an expression of faith and went away.
The underground isn’t just playing around. Gasiel excelled as a reconnaissance agent.
Once she mobilizes her magic power and starts flying, I am faster than a bird, and I am unique and strong.
Even if it collides with an enemy reconnaissance unit, it can be destroyed by itself, and it is easy to fall out because it is flying.
After destroying every enemy reconnaissance unit she encountered, Gasiel was able to return without a single hair on her head.
‘It’s very useful.’
The distance that could already be seen as a dot, Jiha was satisfied with Gasiel’s appearance.
Even if Gasiel was unique, even if he gave an ordinary reconnaissance order, he would have definitely refused.
But she, Gasiel, said she herself, and she decided to become the companion of the underground body, even though she heard the command that she wanted to do this, she eventually followed.
A one-man reconnaissance unit with excellent mobility and power.
In the future warfare, Gasiel will be very useful.
Night.
Having halted their advance, the Red Union prepared for camp.
Underground was looking at the documents from Warris in the commander’s barracks.
Despite being in the crowd, Jiha had to take care of the internal affairs of the Red Union.
Although Uben, Li Jin, and others are committed to internal affairs, the final settlement, judgment and approval were made by Jiha himself.
“The army has been secured. Uniforms are no problem. The problem is the weapon…”
Not just weapons, but proper weapons, weapons of 2nd grade or higher, were too lacking in the Red Union.
It was a first-class gladius, the ability to increase the blade length of the weapon of the underground, which was the current leader.
“I need weapons, and the kids need weapons too. Even if you ask Narsha to make a workshop, in the end, handicrafts have a limit to the production speed…”
Underground tapped his knee and thought, but there was someone outside.
“Come in.”
Jiha, who thought it was Gasiel, said while looking only at the documents.
However, it was the tradition of the Dark Elves to carefully enter the shape and reveal the alluring body.
It was Enlil.
“… Wait, are you okay?”
When Enlil hesitated to speak, he raised his head underground.
There were two Uniques in this crowd now, Enlil and Gasiel.
“If it’s about my grandfather, there’s no need to say anything.”
Carl Warniak and the Dark Elves were assigned the task of putting pressure on Larussa under Ashira.
Enlil shook his head.
“My grandfather is my grandfather, and I am me. I decided that from the day I became Unique and I respect both of us. If you want, I’ll point my sword at Carl Warniak too. Conversely, if Grandpa decides it’s for the Dark Elves, he’ll throw me away without hesitation.”
“It’s bloody.”
The basement closed the papers and said.
“What?”
“… I want to stay by your side from now on.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
Enlil studied the face of the Underworld and spoke cautiously.
“It’s not that I want to spend the night with you. No, I’d like to, but… Not that.”
Enlil was ashamed of what he had said, and did not know what to do.
“Of course I want to be with you, but I have no intention of disturbing you. I am very concerned for your safety.”
“Did Uben tell you?”
“Not only Uben, but Rijin and the other Uniques all agreed.”
As her subterranean stared, Enlil made her pitiful face.
“You don’t know when something like Sudaro’s rebellion will happen again. The night you suddenly disappeared from Warris, everyone was shocked and didn’t know what to do. At first, I believed that you must have thoughts, and everyone tried hard not to show it while being nervous, but the morning was bright and I couldn’t see you even after time passed.”
“How was it?”
The basement asked calmly.
The underground, Red Union headquarters that disappeared from Waris due to an unintentional teleport must have been upset.
Especially since the disappearance happened shortly after the assassination attempt.
“Uben and Lizin, I got together and discussed. First of all, I kept checking for signs of a break-in, and Woven and Lizin kept it quiet so it wouldn’t leak out. Leticia helped me because her face went white and I couldn’t help myself even though I didn’t know what to do.”
“You call Leticia lightly?”
“…”
Enlil, who had been speaking quietly, had a startled face.
It seems that he didn’t even know that there was no hostility in mentioning Leticia.
“… It just got in the way.”
I added it, but the feeling of awkwardness did not go away.
Enlil shook his head and said.
“Everyone is anxious, but the soldiers may be agitated, so they can’t show it. It cannot be publicly searched. I don’t know if you’re dead or alive, what the hell happened to you. I keep looking but I can’t find any trace of you… Everyone was out of their minds until you contacted them.”
“…”
Everyone must have been taken aback by the sudden disappearance of the leader, and the sudden disappearance in the middle of their own camp.
I must have panicked because it didn’t come out even after looking for it.
Was there another assassination attempt, and what would happen if the basement did not appear like this?
“Everyone finally put their minds at ease after the call came that you were all right. Leticia is crying loudly… It was very annoying. He screams that he will be relieved only after seeing you with his own eyes, but no matter how many times I tell him that there will be no real forgiveness if he disobeys orders, he won’t listen. So when I told you that you would be disappointed, he finally calmed down. Anyway, I suffered a lot because I never listened to people…”
“You?”
“…”
When the underground thuk threw a horse, Enlil was silent.
Indeed, Enlil did not say how he was.
“Did you cry too?”
“…”
Blinking his blue eyes, Enlil turned his head to the side and clamped his mouth shut.
A reaction to suppress the emotions that suddenly rise up, a look that looks like it will collapse at any moment.
The basement was also perplexed.
Leticia is crying. Even if that’s the case, I thought even Enlil would show such an emotional reaction.
But Enlil only reddened his eyes, but he did not weep.
You see his desperate suppression of his emotions, the gesture of his fingernails pressing down on his thumb.
Haha…”
Enlil raised his head and looked up at the ceiling, swallowing his sigh.
She said quickly.
“Everyone is of the opinion that there are problems with the security system so far, and that this should never happen again. Everyone got together and decided, so I hope you follow this.”
The Red Union Headquarters, which was in an uproar over the underground disappearance, seems to have concluded that from now on, a person should always be next to the commander.
I can’t do my job because my subordinates are anxious.
Underground said calmly.
“A man is more comfortable when it comes to security.”
“I don’t believe in rare. I will do it myself.”
If the situation is such that the underground is in crisis, rare is not more than a few seconds.
“What about the bathroom?”
“I have to follow you.”
She really had the mindset to stick around 24 hours a day.
Underground shook his head.
“Stop talking nonsense. Anyway…”
“Yes, you are talking nonsense.”
A voice heard from outside, a platinum-haired woman who confidently entered without asking permission fired at Enlil.
It was Gasiel who took off her armor and changed into her robes.
“It’s okay to just close your eyes. Do your tail wagging in moderation. A Dark Elf female unique concubine.”
“… What?”
Enlil’s face froze.
Underground was the first time he had ever seen Enlil so angry.
It was the thorny path of Gasiel.
