23 – Reservoir Vipers (4)

“Hmm, hmm hmm… … .”

The warrior’s coughing sound. Our red faces and smiling smiles. Everyone’s eyes were on the hero, and the hero was sitting on a chair, focusing only on the map. The hero, feeling that we were sitting in our chairs, staring at him, widened his eyes and shook his head.

“What, what? What?”

“Be cute.”

As if agreeing with Ashuria’s words, Millet nodded, and I smiled openly. Lena stroked the dagger and said.

“No, I thought our hero was too cute. So, are you feeling better today?”

“……I’ll brief you on the next operation area.”

If we teased him a little more, he would really get angry, so we agreed to make bright and warm smiles. The hero regained stability just by getting out of the gap of the burdensome gaze, the color of his ears returned to normal, and the stuttering tone returned to its original serious tone.

Interestingly, the hero originally had a very soft voice, but when he was embarrassed or excited, the tone became higher. Among the nobles, there were many boys who had such a noble and soft voice because they did not have to shout, and the hero seemed to be of that kind.

“Next we will head to the Edels region. There is a fierce battle going on here with the demons, so I have an order to pack up and join the military camp as quickly as possible. Perhaps I will have to take on tasks such as destroying key facilities behind enemy lines or assassinating a commander again.”

“I will do it this time. I want to kill the demons too.”

Millet raised her hand and said. The warrior smiled faintly and nodded.

“yes. If there is such a mission this time, let Millet do it.”

“Wow!”

Millet’s childlike appearance warmed everyone’s mood. We packed our things as usual and moved on to kill another demon.

Hoping that there will be a prettier and more attractive widow in the next town.

“Wow! Waaa!”

There is a saying that it is the time between dogs and wolves. It was a word that called the time of sunset because I couldn’t tell if the shadow approaching me with my back to the twilight was a dog or a wolf coming to eat me. We couldn’t help but freeze for a moment at the sight of a long long spear placed on a hill in the distance and someone’s head stuck in the tip.

The head, which was backlit and only looked dark black, was indistinguishable from whether it was a demon or an ally. The war had already ended before we arrived, and there was only a party to celebrate the victory. Our destiny was divided into two. Did you join that party? Did you end the party?

The hero said to Millet.

“uh… … . millet. Can you see who is stuck in that window?”

“I can not see.”

No matter how good an elf’s eyes were, he couldn’t clearly distinguish the silhouette while looking straight at the setting sun. It would have been easy to tell them apart if you could see the flags, but instead of the flags, shouts were soaring on both sides, and spears were fluttering.

The hero looked closely at the spear silhouette in the shadows and sighed in relief.

“You are human. Spear weapons are ours.”

The spears of the Empire and the Kingdom were different in shape. The kingdom’s spear was narrow and long, and the imperial spear was wide. The spears of the demons were in the middle shape, as if the leaves were elongated.

Now, in front of us, innumerable things like pointed church steeples rose and collapsed repeatedly.

Above that majestic cheer, the head was shaking. Maybe it’s the devil’s head. The demon, who must have once made a name for himself as a great general in this area, left his body behind and faced a lonely victory, looking at the plains he would rule from a higher place than anyone else.

said the warrior.

“Looks like you won. I’m glad we won… … .”

“I’m getting a little frustrated when it comes to this.”

As Lena said, everyone was making faces that had lost their energy. Hearing of a fierce battle in the village, we spent our journey minimizing breaks, but we didn’t expect fanfare and smoke to welcome us.

It is good to win the war, but the feeling of being of no help to the victory remained as a subtle lingering lingering feeling that made people feel uncomfortable. It was a feeling that could not be relieved with the consolation of being glad that I didn’t have to fight. In fact, Millet said while fiddling with the bow stick with a very depressed face.

“I wanted to kill you… … .”

There was no time to guess why Millet was depressed. Ashuria patted Millet on the shoulder and said.

“Miele, this is no time to be depressed. You know, right? Let them know we’re here, join them, and get some rest.”

“….yes. Okay.”

Ashuria’s reasoning raised Millet’s energy again. Lena whistled, and the hero walked ahead, holding his sword. The closer I got, the clearer the sight of people intoxicated with excitement clapping their shoulders and cheering, or sitting down and drinking water.

The soldiers each hugged their comrades’ shoulders, and a military song was heard. I glanced at the soldiers and looked away.

“What’s wrong?”

Ashria was there. Ashria was looking at me with a strange expression. My expression looked pretty bad. Ashuria said, gathering divine power in her hand, which is rare.

“If you sprained your leg while traveling, we will treat it. Wouldn’t it be disappointing if you fell when you came all the way?”

“Nope. it’s okay. Ashuria. it’s nothing. I was just thinking differently. For porters, contemplation is a very important time. You would be surprised how much philosophy I have in my head.”

“…Looks fine.”

Ashria nodded and put her hand back. The soldiers who found the hero started to sing hurray because they couldn’t dance.

“He is a warrior! Warrior! hurray!”

“Hero! hurray!”

It was quite embarrassing to be hurrahed without doing anything. Intoxicated with victory, the soldiers called out the hero’s name over and over as if the hero had brought them victory, and the hero shrank his neck in embarrassment.

Lena stretched out her hand as if enjoying the cheers and responded to the soldiers, and the soldiers who saw Beauty’s active response raised their voices.

“hurray! Long live the Hero party!”

“aaa!”

“Hooray!”

The commander sitting on top of the demon’s corpse burst into laughter and shook his hand.

“hahahaha! Stop everyone! stop! The hero’s party has arrived, and the war is over! We’ve given you enough time to rejoice, now it’s time to regroup!”

The commander descended from the corpse and bowed his head to the hero. From the motion of sliding down the corpses to the way he greeted them, the dignity of a nobleman was intact, as if he were looking at an elegant peacock. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were bright and alive, and his stocky physique proved that he had overcome numerous battlefields with his skills.

“You have worked hard to come this far. warrior. My name is Randolph, the commander in charge of the Edels Front.”

“Nice to meet you. I got the order and went. Do you have any assignments that you want to entrust or need help with?”

Randolph raised a finger and pointed to the sky. At the junction of the finger and the pole was the devil’s head. Even from a distance, it was a gruesome corpse, but seeing it up close, the loneliness and emptiness doubled.

At Randolph’s hand signal, the soldiers drew down their poles, and we could see his head resting in Randolph’s hands.

“You are beautiful.”

Although her head was cut off, she was a demon who belonged to a fairly beautiful woman. His eyelashes were long enough to brush off dust, his lips curved gracefully even though they were not bloody, and his expressionless face looked like a statue. Lena helped me mumble.

“Isn’t this also a widow in some way? how?”

“It just looks like a dead man.”

Randolph stood there with a commanding expression, not caring about our jokes. said the warrior.

“Have you by any chance found out information about what position this demon was?”

Randolph nodded. We couldn’t help but look at him with anticipation at his confident demeanor. Did he, who annihilated the demons and beheaded the enemy commander, possess excellent information gathering skills as well as military force?

As Randolph beckoned, a soldier standing behind held out a letter. It was a legible letter, though bloody.

“This demon’s name is Viezra. He was a fairly famous commander among the demons. But who am I? This is Randolph, Knight of Edels. I immediately decapitated them and commanded the soldiers to annihilate the remaining troops.”

Randolph’s waist hung a sword that was thinner than the other weapons. He seemed to be a master of the sword, freely trampling the battlefield with that toothpick-like weapon. The warrior nodded and opened the letter. Heads gathered to check the contents of the letter, no matter who said it first.

“If you read the contents of the letter, you will understand! As an officer favored by the Commander, Viezra… … .”

Randolph’s excited explanation went all in one ear.

The hero frowned while reading the letter with a serious expression, and me, Lena, and Ashuria all looked at each other with subtle expressions. Millet, who was more interested in Viezra’s head that Randolph was holding, didn’t read the letter yet, so she didn’t understand our mood.

“what? what’s the matter?”

The hero passed the letter to Millet without saying a word. After reading the letter, Millet narrowed her brows before exclaiming.

“ah! I’ve heard of this name Isn’t that the name written on that letter the other day?”

“….Yes. that’s right.”

What Viezra was holding was a love letter.

[Viezra. I heard that you are struggling on the battlefield.

But I’ve heard that your enemies tremble at your inaction.

Viezra. If I expand this front, you’re the only devil I’ll entrust to the assault force.

I will pray that your inaction will defeat your enemies.

The devil who loves you the most in the world.

Damon.]

“…No, what are you a demon doing?”

Lena, who had been lost for a while, asked, but no one was able to answer the question. Damon was truly a mysterious commander.
