Plain Girl Hero of Darkness
Autonomous Cavalry Regiment - (6)

“But I didn't see anything?” She tells Olivia the truth, and Olivia takes her eyes off the forest uninterestedly, and begins to caress the mane of her dark horse.

“Not to think about. I'll step on them if they get too close. Let's quickly help the Sixth Army. "

With that, Olivia drives westward, which is opposite to their original destination, Desert City Keffin.

“Is this okay? We move away from our original goal. ”.

“But we can't let them face their end, can we? Even if we send an envoy to notify the main troops, they will not be able to reach in time. "

With that, Olivia looked towards Berhard. Berhard lowered his head so low that he almost hit the back of the horse he was riding.

"You're right, but it would be bad if the Second Army fell in danger because of this ..."

In terms of urgency, the Sixth Army was in even closer danger. But from the big picture, the Second Army was far more important. Helping both sides was indeed arrogant, but Claudia wished they could do it.

“Second Army will be fine. Didn't Ashton say that? The Imperial Army in the north was waiting for the Seventh Army. So they won't take any action before we arrive. "

With that, Olivia stared at Ashton's tense face beside her.

"Y-Well, I did say that, but it was just my hunch, and there was no guarantee ..."

Ashton turned his gaze between Olivia and Claudia, and explained in a slightly timid manner. Olivia patted Ashton's deflated back and said:

“Ahaha, Ashton, you are really interesting.”

“What's interesting !?”

“You answered the question correctly, but lack the confidence to support it. That's why you always lose to me in chess. Being careful is important, but being too careful will backfire on you. "

Olivia warned him with a serious face.

“- !?”

Ashton wanted to argue — but bowed his head in half. Olivia locked her palms and stretched her back, then turned to Claudia:

"Okay, time's short, let's go quickly."

As if understanding what Olivia was saying, the black horse neighed and galloped on the plains according to the wishes of its master. Ashton, Claudia, and the other Autonomous Cavalry Regiments quickly chased after him.

(Lieutenant General Sara, please wait.)

Berhard tightened his grip on control, and spurred his horse forward.

after the Autonomous Cavalry Regiment disappears in the distance.

“Did the girl notice our presence?”

"That's impossible."

Two men dressed in black appeared in the forest. They are First Lieutenant Alvin and Sergeant Major Leicester of the Royal Intelligence Bureau, "Heat Haze".

“No, obviously from his movements that he was aware of. He really detected us from far away. Considering his appearance, he must be that rumored monster…? ”

"Lieutenant One Alvin, that's impossible. He didn't use a telescope, so I thought it was just a coincidence."

Leicester shrugged, and put the telescope back to his waist.

“That's why you're still Sergeant Major after working for so long. You are bound by common sense, which limits your view. There are things in this world that are beyond our imagination. "

“... You mean Witch?”

Leicester asked in surprise, and Alvin nodded.

“Magician is one example. We can also assume that there are other existences similar to them? ”

“What do you mean the girl is such an existence? To be honest, I can't even imagine him killing flies. "

“The Royal Army isn't stupid enough to let a plain girl lead a unit. He is a typical example of a book that cannot be judged by its cover. Sergeant Major Leicester, you must have heard about what happened to Kasper Castle, right?"

“You mean a rumor about that girl that can't be hurt with a sword? That's just the crap that soldiers used to say. "

“What you call trash conquered 4,000 troops, and forced them to surrender Kasper Castle without a fight. Lord Osborne and Lord George were probably killed by the subject of the rumor as well. "

"Are you serious?"

Leicester dumbfounded.

"We're still gathering 'prospects' now, so I can't confirm that."

“... Have you reported this to Lady Rosenmarie?”

Leicester asked calmly. Alvin shook his head.

"Yet. As I said, we are still gathering prospects. "

The entire Heat Haze knew that Rosenmarie had a strong grudge against the Seventh Army that killed Osborne. It was easy to deduce that, as half of the Heat Haze agents were sent to investigate the movements of the Seventh Army.

That's why it's hard to report this without getting more evidence. Alvin knew that a half-intelligence would only create chaos.

“Do you? No matter how absurd something sounds, there must be truth in it. We're the Heat Haze of the Intelligence Bureau. Gathering these prospects and reporting the intel as a whole is our job. Fighting is our last option, don't forget it. "

Alvin seemed to be saying it for his own sake. He then patted Leicester on the shoulder.

“Ya, I will remember it— By the way, did you see their banner?”

“Of course, lions and seven stars, they must be the Seventh Army.”

Tracking down the Seventh Troop after all this made Alvin sigh in relief. Rosenmarie's constant pressure had increased the tension in his mind.

“But this is weird. If they were heading north, wouldn't they have to go east first.?”.

Leicester looked at the dust kicked by the Seventh Army, and tilted his head in confusion. As he said, if they wanted to head towards the northern part of the Kingdom, they would have to turn east here. But the Seventh Army unit they found was heading west.

“Could they head to Central Frontline?”

"Then what should we do?"

“... Let's see, I'll lead the rest of the unit to keep track of them. We have to know their purpose, or we can't make the right report. Sergeant Major Leicester, let us know that we have seen the Seventh Army for Lady Rosenmarie with immediate effect. Notice, don't mention anything related to Lord Osborne."

"Yes sir!"

“-One more thing, tell her that the girl may be a rumored monster.”

"W-Is that okay?"

“We need to warn him, although he may not be interested in that monster.”

"Understand."

"Okay, go."

Leicester saluted Alvin, and rushed east with his orders. Alvin watches him go and thinks about a missing colleague.

(Contact with Second Lieutenant Zenon was cut off after he infiltrated the Gaulish Citadel. That Zenon was the best in martial prowess in the Heat Haze. There was also a problem with that monster, so it was better to play it safe.)

Even through her telescope, she could tell that the beauty of the girl was incredible. Feeling cold for some reason, Alvin disappeared deep in the forest.
