The Contract with the rcenaries
Regis nodded as if he was impressed.
I see.
Stars? Fanrine tilted her head. That might be so, but the strange thing was that they didnt encounter any sentries. They should be able to leave the camp just like this. Regis looked around him. Walking in front of them was Jessica, besides him was Franziska and Fanrine. Six n from the rcenary group guarded the outside, advancing cautiously. Franziska said cockily: Big Sis is aweso right!? Everyone calls her a Magician. The sentries are gone, what kind of spell is that? In response to Regis question, Jessica answered. ... Bribery. What a realistic magic. ... It is effective. Is that so? If they took the money, then capture the escaping group, they would get double the reward. Wouldnt that work better? ... I sent out scouts, and I will know if anything seems wrong. Even though she used a stratagem, she wasnt overly confident. It might be the basics of basics, but her arrangent was careful and adequate. As expected of the strategist of Renard Pendu. After that She added. ... Those things should buy us so ti. You an the headless corpses? Regis sighed again. That was the body of a guard, which got disguised as Regis. As their stature was too different, Franziska mutilated the corpse horribly. Jessica was the one who ca up with this sche. If Regis had a choice, he would have objected... But now, for his own sake and also to protect the woman by his side, he didnt oppose in the end. If he resist too much, the rcenaries would probably kill Regis. Even a corpse could be used in negotiation. There were many examples of dead hostages being used in successful negotiations. Fanrine said sadly: Even so was it really necessary to do such immoral things? Was there no other way? Regis didnt know either. Maybe no one will visit the tent until morning. Even if he left on his own, the mission to recapture Grebauver was already done, so there wouldnt be too much problems. However, after Regis dissect his own situation objectively, he realized that the chance he would be assassinated was very high. Fanrine thought so too. Jessica was absolutely certain that there is no reason to let you return alive. That was why she used the corpse as a body double. ... If it can delay the search party from being dispatched, it will increase the chance of us escaping. Its quite difficult to walk with this on. Regis borrowed the uniform from the Imperials First Army. It was too big, about two sizes too large. Fanrine had several dresses, and was wearing another one right now. The body double would be exposed by investigating it a little. After all, even the gender was different. Regis suddenly asked: How many scouts did you send out? ... Two. I see. In that case, there was a chance they would be discovered Regis thought. A small group of scouts can detect large units, but they might not find a small group of sentries. If the sentry was better than the scouts, they might let the scout pass and wait for the main group instead. During a ti like this, they should let four people walk ahead of them, just within earshot. Shortly later, Regis prediction turned true. Hey, halt! The person who erged from the shadow under the woods was an Imperial soldier. He was just a light infantry, but he had the uniform of the Imperial First Army. There were four of them. Three of them stood in front, the one behind didnt have a sword, but a whistle. They appeared well trained. The person in front drew his sword. Jackpot! Another one of them said. Seems like they let the scouts pass and checkmated the group behind. The soldier asked intimidatingly: From your clothes, you are rcenaries!? Who are you people!? How did you co from inside the base!? And where are you going!? ... I should be asking you, you are not soldiers based here right? Jessica answered calmly as usual. Impressive guts. Even though the rcenaries around her and even Franziska looked tense. And of course, Regis was nervous too. He looked to the left, and Fanrine was smiling for so reason. Eh!? A-Arent you scared? When she heard Regis whispers, she answered confidently: Of course not. Sir Regis is here after all. Eh Now she ntioned it, it was ti for him to take the role of negotiator. Regis raised a hand. Erm, sorry, can you wait? The soldier with the sword looked towards the suspicious character. Hah, so you are a regular soldier. Where are you going with your strange companions at such a ti? State your unit. Well I am from the Imperial Fourth Army. Im seconded to the Imperial First Army right now The soldiers expression twisted nacingly. Dont spout nonsense! Why would we borrow troops from our political adversary, the Fourth Princess!? And the Fourth Army are just a motley bunch of defeated soldiers and farrs! That was really an. Ara, but I was asked by the Field Marshall. Field Marshall...? Eh, the Field Marshall!? How insolent! The other party got even more agitated. What a pain Regis scratched his head. Fanrine stepped forward. Insolent you say? Which unit are you from? What, a woman!? I am General Affairs Officer Fanrine Veronica de Tiraso Laverde. The Ministry of Military Affairs sent . What!? The blood drained from the soldiers face. As the command system for the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military were separate, it wasnt right to say that the General Affairs Officer ranked higher. But the Ministry of Military Affairs was in charge of promotions and bonuses, soldiers wouldnt want to leave a bad impression on them. Urged by her, Regis took out a parchnt from the bag on his shoulder. It was Latreilles written orders.
I dont really want to show this to others but
His heart felt heavy when he thought about this.
