As the news of the incoming attack towards the town was announced. The people of the town of Agrona started to prepare.
Just like what Tanya said before, an abundance of the citizens volunteered to fight for this town. Except for the ones who couldn't, like disabled, adults, children of course for a very obvious reason, and the majority of won.
And most of the volunteers were from the Fang faction. That for so reason didn't surprise even a little bit.
That place is full of battle-thirsty warriors!
Temporarily, the ongoing projects to improve the town were halted and for now, we decided to focus on dealing with the incoming enemies. However, there were still tons of facilities that needed to continue the operations. The facilities supplying our basic needs like farms and ranches were still in operation because God knows how long before this battle would end.
As the carriage I was riding on passed through the people, they imdiately waved their hands on . I waved back even though I wasn't sure if they could see .
As I leaned to the backrest, I shifted my gaze to Misha who was just silently looking in front of her while crossing her arms. Since the day the war was announced, she never left alone and always insisted on going with while promising that she would not disturb on my job.
And she did, she's just following around for days now without saying any words. She was content by just watching while crossing her arms and occasionally narrowing her eyes.
I an, it's adorable of her to get concerned about . However, now that I have observed it. I am a little bit worried that she's starting to adopt Tanya's mannerisms.
We finally reached our destination and walked down from the carriage. In front of Leal's mansion where the new mbers of the corps were currently gathered. As we walked towards the open field where they were, we were imdiately greeted by the 2 people standing in front of them.
"Mister Casimir." Kuro bowed her head at .
Next to him was Leal who was giving an instruction to the new mbers of the corps.
"Leal."
Leal nodded at . "Casimir." However, his eyes imdiately shifted to the person standing next to who's crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes. Leal narrowed his eyes before slowly shaking his head. "Is this the sa girl you brought here before, or you already replaced her and I just didn't realize that you did?"
I chuckled and patted Misha's head. "Don't say that, Leal."
Leal sat in front of Misha and stared at her. "Forgive , I didn't an any harm. I just realized that you have changed a lot."
"What do you an? You t her just recently at the party in Tanya's mansion, do you rember?"
"I noticed it back then, but now I am certain. However, by seeing it now, I highly suggest that you should teach her Mana concealnt, it would be best for her."
Now that he ntioned it, I did notice that Misha's mana manifestation really was different from the kids her age, maybe because she's always with since I arrived in this world. She's the closest person to after all.
I slowly nodded. "Yeah, I'll take that into consideration."
I don't even have any idea of how to teach soone a skill, maybe Tanya could help with that.
He stood up and faced . "With that said, the new 86 mbers of the Marionette corps are now ready to be deployed once the enemies finally arrive." He pointed his hand towards the new mbers of the corps.
All of them were wearing their uniforms, butler suits for boys and maid outfits for girls. Just by seeing them finally wearing their uniforms instead of white t-shirts and pants really put a smile on my face. All of them grew so fast.
It's their graduation day, and as of today, they were now official mbers of the Marionette corps. And as a business partner, at least that's what Leal addressed , he invited here to see the proclamation of the new mbers. Even though I had nothing to do with the Marionette corps, besides the fact that I am their regular custor.
With synchronization, all of them bowed their heads towards . "Greetings, Lord Casimir." All of them said with such a formal voice.
Both Kuro and Leal stared at as if they were waiting for to say sothing.
Oh, maybe they're expecting to say sothing in return.
I walked towards them and cleared my throat.
Looks like I need to co up with sothing cool to say.
All of them were looking at with such delight on their faces.
"I have seen you all grown. I saw what kind of hardship you endured just to reach this point. From being trainees, you are all now official mbers of this town's main security forces. From now on, you will be my eyes, if I want to see, you will be my ears, if I want to hear, you will be my hand if I want to reach sothing and you will be my shadow lurking around . I am fully aware that joining the war as your very first task as an official mber of this corps is quite tough. However, for this war, I want to imply my only one rule, this rule is applicable for all of you. If you fail to follow this rule, it ans you have failed . And that rule is... death is prohibited. Once you realize that you can't take on the enemy in front of you, run. Save yourselves and your allies. I don't need you to die for , I need you all to live and continue working with . A dead rcenary can't do things for anymore. So, no matter what, live." I exhaled and smiled at them. "Are we clear?"
Once more, all of them bowed their heads. "Yes, Lord Casimir."
"Congratulations, new mbers of Marionette corps. I am looking forward to working with all of you."
As I wandered my eyes through them, I saw Japheth from the crowd. Even from a distance, I could clearly see his ear-to-ear smile.
I an, look at him now, from 'I am Leo the invincible' to now an official mber of a prominent rcenary corps.
He's growing so fast.
