I myself at first had expected of course that at the end of a battle there would be many corpses lying everywhere and also the smell of blood in the air around the battle area itself.

But still I am a person who grew up in a world that is at least fairly minimal whose name is a war, so seeing so many corpses would shock me a little bit no matter you try to adapt in the beginning. Well, even so I must still display a strong attitude because it is not good if your subordinates see you in a weak condition.

I am now in the enemy camp where last night there was a scattering event, thanks to Dayan's troops who became our main weapon to become shock troops to the enemy.

Actually the tactics I use here are quite simple, you just have to distract the enemy with an army that looks like a main army while the "main" troops" others came out of positions that the enemy did not expect, this is quite similar to the German tactics of defeating France, because France itself considers that it is impossible for German troops to pass through the Ardennes Forest on its borders. The French, who thought the main German force was in Belgium, were eventually surrounded by German troops passing through the Ardennes Forest to their south.

"Miss Luzia if you continue to be so dumb that you will stumble" said Lilyana who walked by my side.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"Lately you've been talking too much."

"Well, you know, a lot of things happened lately"

"Maybe you are too much dumbfounded as well because your age has entered its time" Lilyana said that while smiling lightly.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll understand if you're an adult, hehehe~"

"Huh?"

Although I myself cannot guess the mindset of Lilyana but I myself prefer her to be my companion when I travel around in the post-combat area rather than Erliz who is my companion, if he were to be my current companion perhaps without thinking anything more he immediately carried me with the reason that I was not exhausted.

It looks like many residents in the surrounding area are doing their respective activities, respectively, especially to prevent the outbreak of new diseases, the bodies of the bandits were finally burned because we ourselves were too tired to bury them all.

Some also I gave orders to collect war booty such as swords, bows, shields, armor, and others. You know war is not good for business, so at least we can collect it for sale again and cover our losses even if the quality is not too good.

"Look at Miss Luzia, isn't the child a stranger?" lilyana's words stopped us from going around.

"You're right."

As said by Lilyana it looks someone who is quite familiar in my eyes is being tied by a rope on her body, he was the boy who almost got us caught on the previous intrusion mission. Seen also beside him was a young man with looks like in his 20s.

For no apparent reason Me and Lilyana immediately began to approach those who were on their knees and tightly bound by my troops. When he was near them, the young man looked at me with a face of despair while why the boy we had previously met looked at me with an unpleasant gaze.

"Who are your names?" ask them.

"My name is Fendre.... "

"I'm Kaba"

"Hey I don't know why, but you look at me as if I killed your family." I curiously relayed what I had in mind to the boy named Kaba.

"In my Country the Orte Alliance believes that people with red eyes are unlucky bearers, so don't approach me!" said Kaba with a repulsive tone.

If I'm not mistaken the Orte Alliance is a country located in the southern part of the Drakean continent, their country was previously a Kingdom but because the King of the kingdom was too luxurious and the amount of corruption eventually occurred an anger on various parties that made the merchant traders carry out a rebellion on the other side eventually those merchants will become the leaders of the country.

Seeing his quite different stature than the inhabitants of the territory in this Country, I myself am not too surprised if he is really from the country.

"Hey Kaba we're on the losing side so apologize to him and keep your mouth shut!" the one who had previously told him that his name was Fendre was trying to advise Kaba.

"Hey it has nothing to do with my body!" I myself don't know why but when he offended my body I immediately spontaneously answered him.

"Bahahahahahah!" whereas when I was surprised by Kaba's attitude, Lilyana instead laughed at me loudly.

But behind the very outspoken nature of Kaba, the man named Fendre by his side seemed a little intelligent enough to understand the situation and I myself saw that he looked completely unsuitable as a bandit.

"You named Fendre, where are you from?" out of curiosity, I asked him a question about himself.

"I? I was first a petty criminal from the slums then Boss Booze asked me to form a bandit group and because he recognized my intelligence he ended up thinking of me as an aide or what because I myself did not understand such a position what is it"

"If you're in the military the position of adjutant to the general is quite influential, if you were to the point of being considered an aide in a bandit because of your intelligence why didn't you realize that this was clearly a trap?" again I asked him a question.

"I've warned him myself many times, but since I've come here I'm sure you can guess for yourself" Fendre said, sounding desperate.

"Ah, in the end because of his selfishness and carelessness that is what brought you all to this."I responded to Fendre's reply.

"I really didn't expect to hear that from a little girl" Fendre said after hearing my statement.

After that short conversation I started looking around to find someone I wanted to ask for help for something, that was when Grandpa Wiz who was collecting war booty walked around me. After calling him Grandpa Wiz began to turn his eyes to me and approach me with some of the spoils of war he brought.

"Grandfather Wiz, it's enough to collect his spoils of war and then rest but before that can you give them a drink?"

"I'll do it immediately, Miss Luzia."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wiz."

After giving directions to Grandpa Wiz, Fendre and Kaba who saw that revealed shocked faces. But because my business here is done finally Me and Lilyana back around to continue my inspection duties in the post-combat area.

The more you walk into the central area after the battle the more stinging the smell of the dead bodies carried by my troops, because it is not strong I also close my nose with my hand. On the contrary Lilyana who was by my side was completely unaffected by this very pungent smell, even she had a few moments smile at me. The Knights are creepy.

"Miss Luzia!" a man called out to me from a distance, Sir Erwin who was trying to figure things out after the battle.

With his extremely masculine body and the sound of armor beeping as he walked, Sir Erwin approached me. I who saw that actually felt like retreating and staying away from him immediately.

"A-ah, S-Sir Erwin." again with a nervous feeling I responded to the call.

"Miss Luzia are you okay?" ask Sir Erwin.

"Forget me it's okay, so do you have anything to report to me?"

"Of course, for the time being I will report the number of casualties on both sides" was seen after speaking Sir Erwin opened a scroll of paper and began to read it to me.

"All right, I've got my door set up for it."

"The number of casualties of the bandits themselves is estimated to be many of them died in battle and about 900 of them became our captives, then..... " Sir Erwin seemed hesitant to continue at last, completely unsuitable for men of very masculine stature.

"Then what, Sir Erwin?"

"About 72 were killed on our side."

"That's so.... "

I myself did not really expect that this battle would not take a soul on my side, but still hugging a responsibility like this was truly a quite foreign feeling to me.

"So what are we going to do with the captives, Miss Luzia?" Sir Erwin gave me a question that I myself was actually quite unsure of.

"I haven't decided yet, we ourselves don't have much supply and space to care for them in a prison.'
