Alice Tale in Phantasmagoria - CH 140

It’s the 10th day since departing to reinforce Wilmington, excepting one element doing rear support.

The 5th day, after setting camp on the shores of principality capital Myleus’s lake.

「The losses are?」

「1st company, injured people are only at 2 names. It is possible to sufficiently restore them with Heal.」

「That so, then the 1st company will take a rest for the nonce.」

「Yes, my, lady.」

It’s not a pleasant conversation but, the battle situation is on a one way course toward escalation.

As the commonwealth is occupying the western national border’s fort, reinforcements are sent in one after another by using that position.

The situation will only grow worse, if that isn’t somehow cut off.

The reason that principality capital Myleus wasn’t occupied after the earlier attack is, without a mistake because of Till.

Wilmington’s forces held out, because the enemy main force element was entirely mown down and forced to retreat.

In that case, this time I will……

「Perhaps I should rout everything……」

「Please stop, ojousama.」

「That’s right, Alice. Because even if you do, you’ll soon tire out and be left in tears.」

Shion-san returned from the battlefield, with a face smeared with dirt.

I promptly go to welcome her back with a hug.

「Oneechan! It’s great that you’re safe. And, since I won’t tire out……」

「Because everyone is exceptional aren’t they. They won’t be done in so easily you know. And, you don’t have any persuasive ability do you.」

I really have no dignity, with her ruffling my hair while stroking it……

Even so, I’m the mansion’s goshujin-sama.

Trust?

「So, how was it? The front line.」

Without hiding anything, Shion-san is the 1st company company commander.

As 1 platoon with 2 groups of 6 person parties, the entire force has brought 15 platoons.

The remaining maid-sans are, on a rear support mission.

「Wilmington’s forces are fighting well you know. But when the chimeras come out, it’s difficult no matter what they do. Their position is forced back using those gaps and, they can’t retake the border fort.」

They’re the chimeras that even I had trouble with but, Shion-san is a melee expert and, the weapon she’s carrying is the high grade item called Senbonzakura Murakumo.

If it’s as much as four of them, I suppose they can’t oppose her.

It would be bad if she was surrounded by a large herd but, we’ve contacted Wilmington’s forces and they’re covering for the aspect where our side is few in numbers.

The ones bearing the raid missions after intervening of our own judgement is, our force.

「As expected, perhaps there’s nothing but to circumnavigate the mountainous belt and deliver an assault.」

「Is that so……」

Even by looking at the map spread out on the table, I understand that the terrain is rather harsh.

It’s not a place to go to with a large force so, there’s no meaning to it if we’re noticed.

「Master, 3rd company preparations complete. For now, go do reconnaissance?」

「Aim……I suppose so, surely this isn’t the sort of case where the enemy doesn’t have any security. Take sufficient care.」

「Roger. Shion also said it but, everyone’s exceptional, easy.」

Aim is going out in their place, with a light attitude.

With this the present is such that we’ve sent out everything excluding the 1st company that just came back up until the 10th company.

The 11th company to the 15th company are standing by in our encampment.

Since we won’t hold out if we don’t take suitable breaks , will we.

「Oneechan, please warm your body in the bath and sleep.」

「The encampment in the rear really helps, this is a luxurious battlefield to even have a bath in it you know.」

「Since we’ve secured a water source.」

I point behind me and, the capital of water Myleus’s wide lake is spread there.

Even if it’s called an encampment this is a campground so, while the bath certainly didn’t become a drum can bath, it’s a barrel bath.

Beltran-san’s company sent fire crystals and other goods as appropriate for us so, there’s no problem.
