Plain Girl Hero of Darkness

Selected Separately One By One - (6)

Thanks to that, Ashton became more accustomed to the corpse being split in half. Guile even called it the [best work of art]. Guile was a big fan of Olivia, and soon she started calling her a goddess.

But it did not look so from the perspective of the Imperial Army. That simple.

"What do you think is the reason, Ashton?"

Claudia approached with a serious face. Ashton didn't dare say "Because he kills people like he's mowing the lawn."

“Alright.. Erm. B-However, Olivia doesn't mind being called the God of Death.”.

“Yes, I know that too. Although he was very upset when called a monster."

Claudia was confused by that.

Olivia doesn't mind being called the God of Death. Or rather, he was happy about it. This was why Claudia could not complain too much about this, and had accumulated a lot of frustration. The way he threw the branch furiously into the campfire was the best proof of that. Poor Ashton became the target of his vent.

(Yaelah tong, the female likes it. :v).

“Well, so, the God of Death is also a god. Maybe he's glad people call him a god?"

“Omong blank what did you just say !? —*uhuk uhuk*, m-sorry. I'm wrong to say now.”

Claudia pretended to cough. Ashton continued to stare at her, so Claudia glared sharply at him before looking away. Ashton realized that his cheeks were red, he seemed embarrassed by the explosion.

“Heehee, so First Lieutenant Claudia would say such a thing as well.”

“... What are you laughing at?”

“No, I was just a little surprised. This might sound brazen to a senior officer, but I think it's very cute."

“I-Imut !? D-Shut up! You're just Ashton, stop acting so arrogant!”

Claudia's cheeks flushed red, and she threw the twig in her hand at him. Ashton kept his head up as he laughed.

“Ashton and Claudia noisy once!”

They immediately turned around and saw Olivia still asleep. He just talks while sleeping. Ashton and Claudia looked at each other, then laughed.

“-In that case, next is the main event. We both have jobs that suit us."

Claudia smiled gently, and reached out to Ashton.

Their numbers were balanced, but their opponents were Crimson Knights. It will be a tough fight against a formidable enemy.

- Even so...

“Yes, I'm in your care from now on.”

Ashton took his hand firmly. As long as he was with the two of them, Ashton felt he could face any trials and tribulations that might come their way.

He stared at the bright stars in the night sky.

Imperial Army, Windsam Castle Conference Room

In the room that was originally used to entertain guests there was a large and sturdy table. War conferences were held around this round table. Her agenda was the Death God girl who attacked all over the place.

"Your Majesty, the attack of the Death God abuse has led to an increase in anti-Empire sentiment with the locals. Rumors of rebellion spread, and all units called for reinforcements. "

Rosenmarie furrowed her brows hearing the report.

"Relief? Huh! Are they delirious?"

“Should I reject them?”

"of course. Tell units to solve problems with the power they have. If there is indeed a rebellion, destroy one or two villages as a warning.”

Mass is easily influenced by mood. Even if they started a rebellion, their heads would become quiet if a village or town was destroyed. Rosenmarie gave this command with that thought.

“Ya Mdm, I'll relay your command.”

"What's going on?"

“Nona, the army monitoring Emreed sent a report. The main enemy troops came out with pigeons, and marched on Windsam Castle. "

“Their main force? Fufu, so. We were played by them like fucking violins. The strategist of the Seventh Squad is quite good."

All the officers were confused by what Rosenmarie had said, so Gaier asked:

“What do you mean, Miss?”

“I mean literally.”

(Make a still misunderstood, 'literally' or 'literal': the real meaning of a sentence. For example, the phrase 'lu ugly', means you are not necessarily ugly² in that sentence, gadaada satirical, that's reality.)

Rosenmarie said while snorting. Gaier stiffened for a moment, and stood up.

"Your Majesty, you said that the Seventh Army arranged this situation on purpose!?"

A moment later, the place was in an uproar. They finally realized that this was a trap set up by the Seventh Army. It was very regrettable, but Rosenmarie had not noticed it until now, and was not in a position to berate her subordinates.

“You're all also officers, so think about the big picture too. The enemy who launched a major attack at this time was the best proof."

Considering their speed, the two forces would clash in three or four days.

“... In other words, except for Crimson Knights, our other troops are tied.”

A young officer wailed softly.

"Frightly so."

As the conference room exploded, Rosenmarie deliberately shrugged. Gaier was astonished, and his eyes looked teary.

“... J-If this is all true, then how can you be so calm, Miss Rosenmarie? The superiority of the enemy has grown so big, so why don't you worry?"

One old officer was confused, and the other one felt the same way as well.

“Hmm? You want to see me panic? I don't mind showing it to you if you want."

“T-No, not at all!”

The old attendant did not accept his offer, and the other attendants turned their faces awkwardly. Rosenmarie was only joking, but no one understood his point.

“Already, however, there is no need to panic. According to the report, the Seventh Army consisted of 28,000 men. Our total force is 27,000. Are you saying that we, the Crimson Knights, will lose a balanced fight (in terms of numbers)?"

Rosenmarie asked the attendant with a sharp look, and they all gritted their teeth and nodded.

“Of course not, but ..”

Gaier said with a meaningful look. He did not finish his words, but Rosenmarie knew very well what he meant, but still decided to ask because it would be more interesting.

"But what?"

Gaier hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said:

“The enemy has the God of Death who has defeated Lieutenant Colonel Volmar. That is something we cannot take lightly ... And he also targeted His Majesty."

“Haha, that's an honor. The girl who was upgraded from a monster to a Death God was after my life. I have to prepare a good welcome."

Before Gaier said anything else, Rosenmarie ordered him to get ready for battle. This ended the war conference, and Rosenmarie left the room in high spirits.

(Wait for me, the God of Death Olivia. I, Rosenmarie, will personally reap your head. I will then relay to them along with the report of the Seventh Army's death to the grave of General Osborne (as a gesture) to grieve over (death) him at the flowerbed!)
