Master Swordsman Genius Handmaid - Chapter 113



113 – 27. rise (4)

As soon as Adele returned, Shien immediately called the commanders together.

Those who were expecting good news in their hearts gathered together at once.

“It would be better not to enter.”

Adele, who had returned from reconnaissance without much trouble, reported to them.

Then the commanders look at each other as if asking for a little more explanation.

“As a result of checking, they are not ordinary level 2 monsters.”

“Aren’t they ordinary witches?”

“I don’t know the exact reason why they killed and killed each other. But one thing’s for sure, most of those who survived did not have any major scars. What does this mean?”

At Adele’s question, the commanders thought for a moment.

And then, alas! and let out groans.

“Are you saying they’re stronger than normal level 2 monsters?”

“It seems to me, yes. From the movement or energy, that is certain.”

“… Perhaps, a level 1 witch… .”

Even after saying that, Marcus, the commander of the 3rd Army, blurted out his words, as if he himself couldn’t make sense.

Even in the long war, the first-class Demonic Magic itself was all about single-digit appearances.

And in that demonic world, there was only one first-class demon beast.

“no. Not yet.”

The words no and yet came out of Adele’s mouth.

Thanks to this, a smile of relief appeared on the faces of the commanders, and then hardened again.

“Not yet. what is that… .”

“A Demonic Scene with an unclear current level is bothering me a bit.”

It is not someone else, but someone who went directly into the interior.

He is also a strong man who used to deal with the monsters alone.

To say that such a person cares is not an ordinary thing.

Of course, it is something that cannot be taken lightly, and it is inevitable to be nervous.

“Anyway, it is the opposite to rush into the current situation.”

“If not… Are you saying it’s better to fight immediately after all reinforcements arrive?”

“Even if you don’t want to, you will soon.”

“What are you talking about?”

To the commanders’ questions, Adele answered calmly.

“They seem to be waiting for this side’s forces to be completely reinforced.”

However, the answer that came out was not to be listened to at all.

Upon returning to the Lichtenauer barracks, Shien took another look at Adele.

He looks very meticulously to see if there are any injuries anywhere.

If she had been a little more active, she would have asked me to take off my top.

You have to worry about this when you have someone who is too good around you.

Each time you will be faced with a task to do for others.

Shien thought so and tried to make a nonchalant expression.

“You’ve worked hard, Adele.”

“There was no such thing as suffering. They didn’t even look like they were wary like before.”

“Is that that strange?”

“Like the Imperial Army, they make a basic distinction. Put a sentry, and take turns with each other. It was always like that until the time of the Great War. But the guys I saw earlier were different.”

“What if it’s different?”

“As if they were leading us to attack quickly.”

Then, something creepy runs down Shien’s spine.

Sensing an ominous aura, she quickly thought about this and that.

Afterwards, Shien, whose thoughts reached somewhere, hurriedly opened his mouth.

“Maybe Adele. Do you think the same as me now?”

“Why did they bother to kill other monsters that could be used as shields?”

“If that is also a type of inducement, then it is quite possible. No matter what, the Empire only thinks of them as beasts.”

If Adele hadn’t stopped it, the commanders, and Shien herself.

They must have suggested attacking the demons who were weakened by fighting each other.

No matter who sees it, it is a valid claim, and there is no problem.

“Whatever it is, in the end, we want to attack first.”

“I think so.”

“Why? To make one give up the advantage of defense?”

“Until that point, I can’t give you a definitive answer either. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this.”

When Adele said that, the anxiety inevitably grew.

I thought there would be no problems with him, obviously.

The fact that even Adele couldn’t get a sense of it had a big effect.

“… It’s definitely not an easy thing to think about.”

“That may be why the emperor is coming.”

“You are right. There’s no reason why he shouldn’t be doing it. Her Highness is also there. I think the emperor must have sensed something out of the ordinary.”

After speaking, Shien let out a sigh and looked at Adele blankly.

The face that really didn’t suffer, and the appearance.

However, without knowing it, there must have been some degree of fatigue, even though it was very slight.

He said that he should not leave even a small gap in front of a big battle.

If you don’t take a break at this time, you may not be able to rest at all until the battle is over.

“I’m going to quit my escort duty today and get some rest, Adele.”

“I am okay. It’s nothing, Shien-nim.”

“I told you? You’re fine, but I’m not fine.”

“The enemy is right in front of you. Although they formed a line of defense, if… .”

“There are also knights and soldiers from Lichtenau. You are the one who just came out of the hell ahead of you. When you need to rest, you have to rest well.”

As if refusing to listen to any further objections, he pressed Adele’s shoulder hard.

In fact, if you put your mind to it, you can overcome Shien’s power as much as you like.

But Adele couldn’t bear to do that, and was just forced into her seat.

“You told the commanders to stand by. So unless there’s something else going on, I’ll be waiting. Until then, rest in my barracks. Close your eyes.”

“… Hey, I’ll just rest. I think it would be difficult to close my eyes.”

They are even trying to tell me to sleep with a blanket spread out on the cot.

So Adele reassured her by saying that she would just take a break.

Thanks to this, Shien also nodded relatively quickly and sat down.

Shien, who is also taking care of the family business here, and Adele, who watches over such a woman.

Materials consumed on the way here right now, or items that will be needed more in the future.

What should I do if a battle breaks out and damage occurs?

In addition, there were not one or two things to be concerned about afterward.

“hmm… .”

With his head wrapped, he is contemplating what to do next.

Looking at her, Adele suddenly thought of this.

It’s hard for those who fight, but it’s never easy for those behind them.

Although we pour everything just for the moment we fight.

They have to pour everything in until then and after that.

Things I didn’t know about before, and didn’t even try to understand.

I just thought cowards were messing around behind the scenes.

Instead of fighting with swords and spears, they fought instead of squeezing their heads.

“… Adele.”

Shien, who had been working for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth.

“It just came to my mind.”

“What are you thinking?”

“Didn’t you say that demon beasts killed and killed each other?”

“That’s right.”

“From Adele’s point of view, those who survived seem much stronger than normal 2nd-class monsters.”

Adele nodded her head.

“So are the nobility of the empire. Soldiers and knights who guard the household right next to you are much stronger than ordinary soldiers and knights. And they always accompany the owner they are supposed to serve when they move somewhere.”

“… Are you saying that they’re escorting a first-class monster that might come out?”

“no. There is no reason to attach an escort to the strong. Rather, it could be that they are relatively weaker than them, but the importance is that they protect something much more important than that.”

Something much more important.

Adele responded that she didn’t know that far.

Unless the strongest guy, the one who can do the most damage isn’t important.

What on earth does Cien see and say is important?

“Think about it. Even if they’re monsters from hell, even if they’re beasts. It can’t just come into existence all of a sudden. There has to be an existence that made it possible for us to exist in this world.”

“… Or, are you saying that they are to protect the mother body that forms the backbone of their group?”

“I think it is very likely.”

Adele didn’t understand what she said.

That’s right. It is natural to have such a reaction.

Because it’s never happened before.

“It’s not that I don’t agree with Sien-nim at all. But I’ve never heard of a mother coming over, let alone during my fighting days, even at the beginning of the Great War.”

“Of course it is. Because the mother that produces the next generation is very important. However, exceptions always happen. For example, it has become a state where the safety of the mother cannot be guaranteed.”

“I can guarantee your safety… does not exist… ?”

“yes. We cannot rule out that possibility at all.”

After listening to that, Adele was finally able to understand Shien’s words.
