Thunderclap
Basecamp
Jessica who was leading the rcenaries glared at Regis.
Her face was beautiful, but there was a shroud of intimidation in her expression.
Lord Auric, youre late. The sun is almost setting.
W-Well, I already inford you of the situation on my side via mail Didnt you receive them yet?
You probably just want to read books anyway.
Ugh
They only t for a short ti, but she saw right through him. Her title of Magician wasnt just for show. Her observation skills were even better than Regis'.
She laid out the map.
The fourth army has 500 cavalry, and the 4000 infantry behind them have ford up at the hill to the east The First Armys White Hare Knight is positioned at the bottom of the hill.
When I left the city, I saw them mustering the infantry. The First Army will probably send out 10,000 soldiers. Maybe they had already moved out? After all, we left from the other side of the capital and made a detour here, so we took quite a long ti.
Is Princess Argentina trying to start a civil war?
No way
Its your problem though?
Well, I already mailed out a letter From the situation here, they probably missed it.
What should we do? Watch from the sidelines?
We cant do that! Lets link up with the princess.
Jessica was probably expecting Regis to say that and nodded.
As promised, we will aid you.
The rcenaries were already prepared to set off, and could do so imdiately.
Regis was adamant on going even if he had to go alone, so he gladly accepted their help.
After leaving the basecamp, they headed for the eastern hills.
They were about 700 strong.
Regis, Fanrine and Jessica sat together inside a shaky carriage. It goes without saying that Regis couldnt ride a horse.
The driver said:
Deputy commander, the Fourth Army is in sight!
What should we do, Lord Auric?
Please raise the white flag! We will be attacked if we continue to advance like this.
Aye Sir!
Fortunately, the First Army didnt make any moves, and Regis group reached the Fourth Army safely.
No, it wasnt certain that things would end safely yet
The soldiers of the Fourth Army raised their lances and raised their bows against the rcenaries they had never seen before.
One false move and they would probably be attacked.
Regis alighted from their box carriage.
He recognized so of the soldiers.
If they noticed Regis, they would probably report to Altina.
Regis waved.
Those soldiers blushed.
Their reaction was different from what he expected.
Even though they were the Fourth Armys soldier he knew.
He thought the mood would be like returning ho, but sothing seems off.
As if he went into the wrong house.
Fanrine who was standing behind him whispered:
Sir Regis, your attire!
Ahh?!
He completely forgot. Regis didnt look like a strategist right now. Even sharp eyed reporters couldnt see through his disguise.
But what would the soldiers think if he took off his wig here
The column of imperial soldiers parted.
Soone walked forth from the depths of the unit.
Her fiery vermillion hair swayed, and a sword larger than her body was hung on her shoulder. Crimson eyes stared Regis way.
Regis?
Sigh A-Altina!
Regis! Regis! Regis! Regis! Regis! Regis!
The young girl sprinted over and caught him in an embrace.
With all her might
Croak, Regis made a sound like a frog being squashed.
Headquarters of the Imperial Fourth Army
There were 6 people in the tent.
They were Regis, Altina, Eddie, Abidal Evra, Jessica and Fanrine. Eric stood guard at the entrance.
Altina who had finally cald down glared at Regis.
He was getting glared by ladies all day.
Well? What happened? Regis who is supposed to have died in battle according to Latreilles report turned into a woman and is together with the rcenaries who were our enemy Ah, I dont get this at all!
Yes, you have a point.
It was natural for her to be confused.
Regis expression relaxed when he saw Altina like this.
What, why are you all smiles!?
Eh? Do I really look like that? How troubling
Does seeing troubled amuse you so much?
Im just happy about seeing you again.
What?!
Altinas face turned beet red.
Wahaha, Eddie laughed.
Thats a great line! I will say this to that person after I return to Fort Volks.
His beloved Fifth Princess stayed behind in the fortress.
Regis said in a panic:
Wahh N-No, thats not what I an!!
You have a way with words after becoming a woman, Regis.
Please dont tease , Lord Eddie.
After the conversation beca like this, a cold voice interjected:
Is it fine to be this relaxed? The sun is setting. Do you want to continue this stand off?
Jessica asked in a cold tone as usual.
Regis smiled wryly.
Its true that there isnt any reason for this stand off. We should let the soldiers sleep in a warm place tonight. Anyone has pen and paper?
A maid entered the tent.
As if she knew what Regis needed, a full set of stationery was placed on the tray.
Regis gasped.
Ah
Clarisse was the one who placed the tray on the table.
When others were present, she would be expressionless. Despite that, Regis still noticed that the corners of her eyes were a little red, and there were tear stains.
A smile appeared on Regis face.
Thank you. Ms Clarisse. Erm Im back.
Yes. Welco back.
She then added Sir Regis in a barely audible voice. After bowing deeply, she left the tent as if nothing had happened.
Altina shrugged.
Even though its been a long ti since you two t, shouldnt you speak a little more?
Its fine.
The joy of finding him safe ant much more than words.
