58. Suspicion (also cute today)
(Thanks to Anti-...... Forget it, I'm afraid to check the water meter. Anyway, thank you for the comfort and reward, but the cat is not as fragile as you think. )
(The few radicals who marry may be disappointed, but the cat will write until the end.) I know best who the article is written for, and the two of them are the same today. )
Indeed, when human beings drove out the alien peoples in the north, it was not all because of the suppression of strength.
The rhetoric about the people is nothing more than an illusion for them, an illusion that "empires will last forever and will never be destroyed", which is only a means used to facilitate rule.
However, if you want to tell the truth, everyone who knows the inside story will say that the current human race cannot defeat the orcs.
Although there are few units like magicians among them, they still surpass humans by more than one or two points in physical ability, relying on all kinds of strange racial talents. Centaurs, winged men, the former is almost a natural heavy cavalry, while the latter is a small bomber that can fly around in the sky.
It can't be defeated, and can only be barely resisted, which is why Ivan stepped up the construction of the "Steel Fortress" at the beginning of the establishment of the empire.
The previous victory, only because of the disunity of the orcs, gave humanity the opportunity to annihilate in one fell swoop. Like humans, although the orcs are superficially united, they are also divided into three factions, the main battle faction, the main peace faction and the relatives faction.
As the name suggests, the main war faction is a group that yearns for war, and most of them are mainly carnivorous orcs. The Lords and Clans are made up of herbivorous orcs who yearn for peace, while the Kinship faction is made up of a group of races that have a good impression of humans.
Like humans, there will naturally be disagreements between these different factions, which is why humans can drive away orcs in one fell swoop, but this time is different.
The driven orcs have united, and the family faction has grown, but unfortunately, the person they are close to is Blue Rose. The forces of the other two factions are almost invisible. Pure orcs are easy to take advantage of, so this time, it's an uphill battle.
Fiana who came out of Patton's room felt that her head was getting bigger, the orcs had been pressed by the whole army, and the border guards in the four parts of the semicircular fortress had all been involved in the battle, and what worried Fiana even more was that this time, the battle could only be relied on herself, her father, Barton wanted to go back to the empire.
"Can I really do it......
It was a training session that could not be repeated, Fiana frowned, and the next moment, she saw the students and their mentors that Frey had brought with her.
Do you want to go back because you're at war? Otherwise, it's really dangerous to stay in the fortress now.
"Fiana, how's it going?"
Because she had a good relationship with Fiana, Lily didn't mind asking at all.
“...... The entire orc army was pressed, and the fortresses were affected. Fiana wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Everyone is ready tomorrow, let's leave the fortress and return to the empire, no need to ask, this is no longer the place for you to stay." ”
“...... Fiana, are you alright?"
Lilith waved her hand in front of Fiana's eyes, "Is it a fever, why are we going back tomorrow?"
"But you didn't come to ...... me."
"I'm not anyway. ”
The demon's matter has not been resolved, and her eldest sister has not yet seen it, and Lilith can't just give up this rare opportunity.
Compared to Lis, who has been showing up next to her, her eldest sister is really in the game, and Lilith believes that this time the riot of the beasts must be inseparable from her eldest sister.
"I, I'm not going to go, stay here and eat every day. ”
Geraint raised her hand weakly, if this was heard by Onexia, it would be over.
The dragon king has decided, and the large number of escorts is naturally needless to say, and then, everyone without exception said that they want to stay here.
"Actually, Dean Frey has decided to send all the students back. ”
As a mentor, it is necessary for Cecia to be honest, "But our side is in a special situation, so we can consider it alone. ”
“...... Really, what the hell was she thinking, teacher. ”
Although Fiana muttered like this, her brows had stretched a lot.
Although the trainees are basically treasures and cannot be sent to the battlefield to kill the enemy like other soldiers, with this commitment and support that will not leave, it is already the greatest boost to morale.
The place where you stay is a fortress that won't collapse, so even a troublesome alien orc is worth fighting.
"Then I'm here to thank you all in advance. Fiana looked at Lilith, "Then let's go down and rest, tomorrow will be the real wartime state." ”
"What's the matter, Fiana, to leave me alone. ”
After everyone had left, Lilith, who had understood before, was still there.
"Something is wrong with you today, what's wrong with you?"
“...... It's okay, I've got a bad stomach. ”
Lilith struggled to unfold a smile, but was her expression before, in the eyes of others, already so gloomy?
Of course, I don't hate fighting, but why do I and my two sisters want to compete for the position of witch? Really, is that what attracts them so much? Or is it for some other reason.
However, when Lith said this, she didn't talk about the reason for the fight for the witch, judging from the things that Lilith could know, most of them were the kind of things like "after becoming a witch, gaining power", but in the eyes of her sisters, it was really so tempting?
Lilith...... If you're tired, go and rest. ”
“...... Ah, it's okay, please say. ”
"Okay. Fiana turned, "I just wanted to ask, do you know the summoner of the four demons you met earlier?"
“......”
Lilith was shocked, but fortunately, Fiana, who turned her back, should not have noticed.
"I don't know, and I'm weird too. ”
"I see. ”
Fiana nodded, and said no more, but her hand slowly moved to the hilt of the saber.
She's doubting herself!
Ah, now that I think about it, it really seems reasonable to be suspected. Fiana, who had studied magic, naturally knew that the seven demons were basically in one camp, but now there were only three around her, and the other four were attacking the fortress.
Himself, was he treated as a mole?
But what can I say? This is related to my sister? But this explanation makes people even more suspicious.
"Swords won't solve this problem. ”
After thinking about it, Lilith still said, "Even if you stab me to death, I'm still not the traitor you think." ”
"But what do the four demons explain?" Fiana asked, "this time there is a demon on all sides, and there is a demon as the leader of each line, and one of the areas has been almost taken down by the demon who calls himself Beluseb, Lilith, even if I don't want to doubt you, you can at least give me an explanation." ”
"I can't explain it, they have nothing to do with me. So I don't have any proof. ”
Although he already thought that something might be worse, it was enough to surprise Lilith for being suspected so early.
Moreover, there is no way to prove this. There is no evidence, even if it can be used as evidence, the truth that Liz said, that kind of thing can't be said to Fiana.
[This is a game that belongs only to witches, and outsiders can't know about it.] Otherwise......]
Pandora's original words, even if they haven't finished speaking, know that if people who have nothing to do with the witch game know, they will definitely not end well.
“...... Let's put this aside for now. The second thing is that the area I manage now has also been threatened, and according to reports, the demon who leads the alien people in my area is Liviatan, so ......"
"I know, she'll leave it to me, I just want to ask her something. Lilith nodded, "I don't think ordinary soldiers will be able to fight her, and I am the only one you can ask for, so even if I threaten you with this handle, don't do anything strange to me because you suspect me, I don't care, it doesn't mean that other creatures don't care." ”
“...... I didn't mean that. Fiana thought for a moment, "But, Lilith, you're really weird today, go get some rest early." ”
“...... Good bye. ”
Now, I can't stay here, and I guess after Fiana calms down, she shouldn't doubt herself so much.
It's just that after hearing that half of the truth, did he really become strange?
