31. Young border officer
After giving all the cat girls in her house to Arya, Lilith finally didn't have to think about the safety of her family during the time she was out.
Because this trip to the "Steel Fortress" in the north is an academy-wide event, it is natural that you can't bring unrelated people who are not students. Therefore, although Lucifer and Asmon were not strictly considered students at all, Marmon was the only one left.
After instructing Sylna to use the family's money as she pleased, the little maid directly saluted Lilith three times in a row.
By the time they arrived at the intended location, even though they were still several hours away from departure, the dragon escorts had already arrived early. With the exception of Geraint, who was now sleeping standing up, the rest of the dragons were carrying a large backpack that looked heavier than their own.
And Onexia was like a commander who was giving a lecture to the students.
"Listen to me, this time because of the coercive measures, I can't stay with Master Geraint all the time, so the job of taking care of Lord Geraint will be handed over to Lilith......"
What? Why yourself? Shouldn't it be the escort of these big bags ready to go?
"Ah, Lilith, you're just in time. Onexia pulled Lilith over, who was still in a daze, "Although I will follow in secret, I still have to trouble you to take care of Master Geraint." ”
“...... Okay, I got it. ”
It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing as a nanny for Geraint, but fortunately, Geraint is much more sensible now than before, although he still gets confused in some details.
"Then here's what you need to know. Onexia reminded in an almost roaring manner, "Considering the itinerary, I won't prepare the ingredients to bring over, you are responsible for catching the freshest meat for Lord Geraint to use as ingredients, and keep it for yourself overnight, and when cooking, there must be no blood, otherwise Lord Lilith will feel disgusted......"
No, it's not just bloodshot that makes me feel sick.
The situation of Lilith's class is actually very special, although it seems to be a class of dozens of people, but the dragon guards' guards already account for a large part, and except for Asmon and Lucifer, who are already familiar with each other, there are not many students left who don't know each other.
After listening to Onexia's nagging and taking a nap for a long time, Dean Frey, the planner of this bold plan, finally floated up from the sky with a yawn. Accompanying her was Tutor Thea from her own class.
"Wow...... Sleepy, okay, let me explain first, this time only the students are allowed to go to the 'Steel Fortress', a person who does not belong to the students, if there is any excesses, no one will care about you at that time. Frey waved at Onexia, "You, you, you, leave quickly, and the demon standing behind Lilith with invisibility, hurry up and get me out." ”
Behind yourself!?
"Cut, it's boring. Marmon, who was behind Lilith, complained, "Sure enough, it's a rigid old woman." ”
"Who are you talking old woman!?I'm 13 forever!"
"Lilith, I'll go first. Waiting for you at the 'Steel Fortress'. ”
As he spoke, Mammon spread his wings and flew into the air.
Sure enough, I knew that this was the case. I knew that I should bring Sheerna with me, and I was really worried about leaving her home alone.
"We're already in the last group. After looking around, Frey waved her hand ahead, "The dragons!
The "Steel Fortress", as the first line of defense against the beasts, is also the most powerful line of defense. Although it is as complete as a small city in form, it is not really powerful.
As we all know, although Emperor Ivan established a unified empire, he did not fundamentally conquer the beasts, but only deterred them by force, and signed some treaties that would not work at all after a real war.
Therefore, the vast territory of the orcs, which almost encircled a small half of the empire's borders, has also become a big security risk. For this reason, the "Steel Fortress" also has a very complete set of defense plans. Although many of them are classified and will not be revealed at all, the plan that everyone knows is the layered defense plan proposed by the guardian of the "Steel Fortress", General Patton.
The full outline of the "Steel Fortress" looks more like a shape close to a semicircle, so General Patton also divided this semicircle into four sections.
At each border, there is a direct border officer, and below that, there are subordinate officers assigned by these border guards, and these officers are under the orders of the border guards and manage a shorter part of the border.
The four border guards were directly under the orders of General Patton, and this was the plan proposed by General Patton -- a layered defense plan.
A bold plan with no small amount of risk. Because if you choose the wrong person, civil strife will be more likely to occur.
As a special class, the end of Lilith's trip was the area where General Patton was located, and the border guard who managed this area was, according to Dean Frey, a woman.
Compared to the rest of the students, Lilith enjoyed this "higher-level" treatment on Geraint's back. After seeing Arya who was hesitant to talk to her, Lilith whispered a few words to Geraint, and then Geraint dived, and Lilith took advantage of the situation to pull Alia, who had not had time to exclaim, onto Geraint's back.
"Hmm...... It was too ...... just now," Arya who was clutching her chest didn't seem to have recovered yet, and it seemed that she was very uncomfortable with this kind of high-altitude action, "Don't drag me over so suddenly next time." ”
"It's okay, Geraint's flying skills are among the best. Lilith said and patted the scales on Geraint's back, "Isn't that right?"
"Roaring ......"
"Lilith has a really good relationship with the dragons. "We're all reluctant to be serialized by other dragons, but Lilith is completely different. ”
"Hmm...... Almost, I'm her babysitter now. ”
"Babysitter ......"
Arya's brow furrowed, but she quickly gave up and clutched the scales.
Here, it's just too high.
Because of the relationship between the dragons who can fly, the "Steel Fortress", which originally took several days to reach, was also able to see the outline in the evening. After constantly telling Geraint that she would be able to finish eating soon, Lilith finally landed in the city of "Steel Fortress" when Geraint was hungry and turned back into human form.
At the same time as Dean Frey landed, the heavily armed knights who had been waiting there also stepped forward, and the brown-haired woman in light armor at the head was probably the border chief here.
Although she is said to be a woman, she is too thin and small compared to the knights around her. Is she really the border chief here?
"Miss Frey, right?" the woman stepped forward and saluted to Frey, "These are the students who came here...... Those two demons ......"
Can you tell the identities of Asmon and Lucifer?
"That's my summoning. In order to avoid trouble in the future, Lilith still stood up.
"That's right, Fiana, don't worry about that. Frey nodded, "Let's go and get dinner ready, the kids are hungry." ”
【Goo ......】
"Look. A blush crossed Frey's face.
You're hungry, Dean, aren't you?
"I see. Fiana said and looked at the students, "I am Fiana, the border guard here, and the specific tasks of all of you will be personally assigned by General Patton." Until then, please come with me to the meal. ”
"Eat!"
Geraint, who was already hungry and unsteady, was the first to run, and the big tail flicking behind him accidentally hit one of the knights on the leg, and Lilith clearly frowned at the knight's slightly painful face.
I'm sorry for you, Brother Bing.
"You saw that, Fiana. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dean Frey said, "This class is a special house, so you may have to pay a little more attention. Besides, I think you should add more for dinner, but she's not the only one who is a dragon. ”
“...... I know. After looking at the big tails behind the dragon guards, Fiana nodded, "No wonder my father said that he would personally give them a task, so that's the case." I thought it was actually ......."
"Don't think much about Fiana. Frey wanted to pat Fiana on the shoulder, but she had to give up because of her height, "Now that you can become a border officer, you have already proven that you have such strength." Don't care what the rest of the people think. ”
“...... I know, teacher. Fiana sighed, "Now the military department of the empire has been discussing whether I am qualified for this position, in fact, I also think that it is because my father is a general, so I ......"
"That old stubborn is not such a person who does not distinguish between public and private. Frey gave a rare serious expression, "If anyone says you're not qualified, I'll be the first to stand up against it, old woman." Although you originally studied magic with me, you have since switched to learning martial arts. But whether it's a black cat or a white cat, the one that can catch a mouse is a good cat. Martial arts are not the only factor used to measure your strength and command. Since you can be promoted by your father, it means that you are already a veritable border officer. ”
“...... Thank you, teacher. ”
"Well, okay, take me to dinner. "I'll have to go back tonight...... In the Empire, there are some small flies that need to be chased. ”
