"I hear the decree of conscription has been decreed."
"Yes."
Seeing Yao do the expedition, Loa talks as usual. Yao has already had several fights in the neighborhood, so this is not the first time in line, but this is the first time in an expedition-like expedition. It seems like it would be nice to have a little warmer words and care, but these two were just discussing pale as usual.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning."
"How much battle is it going to be?
"Come on, we'll find out about the battlefield. Just reports of things, he said, are going to be the biggest sweep of the last few sweeps. There's an empty beast general's seat, and I think we should all hang out."
"I see. Which is going to be intense."
Nodding lore and watching slightly worried Abby. Yao is not nervous or pale ready, he tries to leave the house. I naturally dropped Nia off after that. Since they decided to duel, the other two haven't had a conversation other than what is necessary for a long time. Nia, too, spoke from Yao's back.
"... be safe."
"Sister, don't forget"
That's when Yao turned around. In those eyes, there was certainly a light that was plausible and strong. It wasn't the temper to go to battle from now on, it was another daunting light.
"The war will be over early and we'll be back. So don't leave Gruzaldo until then. I will not allow you to escape and crumble the battle. Because if you run away, you will chase it to the end of the earth."
"Yao..."
Yao left the house early, approaching a slightly distracted nearer. I never look back again.
"Yao, why do you want to fight me so much... that I hate you so much? Or so much about Kazas..."
Nia dropped off Yao's back, but neither Lower nor Abby would ever answer her disappearing query.
Winter came to Grand Valley. The Grand Valley is quite south, so it rarely snows. But things have changed all this year. Snow falling deep for the first time in decades fell on the Grand Valley and many beasts did not come out of the house. The Grand Valley traffic network was cut off by deep snow, and many beasts tried to survive the winter with Grand Valley reserves.
The beasts have many species that are vulnerable to the cold. That difference, which came true for each race, was directly connected as it were in their lives. Oddly enough, the military registry table proposed by Kazas will allow cold-resistant species to play an active role in transporting and doing things during this time.
Roch and Cerio are the only ones left in the Grand Valley among the beast generals, as they went to the front lines to Vargo, Rünca, Bahia, Kapur and Ron. The other Four generals who went out to the Southern Front and survived were active in their respective battlefields or in their own territory to heal the wounds of battle.
"It's more like a beast general."
"Really? I think peace is good."
"He's a temperamental dude."
Say "new generation, seniors"
Cherio and Roch are having such an un-loving conversation as they follow Nia's archery. It was obvious that Nia's strength would not reach Roch, but nevertheless Cherio would only be promoted to the Beast General, and his strength was certain, unlike that light attitude. Near should be overwhelmingly advantageous for the compatibility of the race, but it doesn't make you feel the difference.
Cherio doesn't mean what's amazing as a technology. Just how to take it one by one, how to fight it. Cherio was a good fighter, including to the point of being cunning. Nia asks with a broken breath.
"Ah, ah... Lord Cerio, may I have one?"
"What?
"That - where did you learn how to fight?
"What, a fight?
Near felt powerless by Cherio's blatant remarks. I kind of imagined it because of the shapeless way of fighting.
Cerio continues.
"I wonder how to fight with all kinds of military fights, based precisely on fights. Look, I'm wrapping crumbs around here, 'cause it was a loose end. I thought it was a rice tare, so I joined the army."
"Oh, that's so appropriate"
"If you're strong enough for anything, you can be a general. There are problems with the system in this country, but there are dreams. I'm telling you, it doesn't mean I don't have patriotism or loyalty to King Dryan, does it? Even if it looks like this, I feel like working for your country.
But it's true that when a serious guy fights me, he drives things crazy. I think this method of warfare would be helpful?
Nia was annoyed by Cherio's words. Serious way to fight. That certainly is a word that applies not only to me, but also to Yao. Nia suddenly felt her strength return to her body and stood up with a drink in her lifting leg.
"Another fight, please!
"Nice, I need to come. I don't like serious guys, but it's not like I don't like motivated guys. I'll hang out with you till I get bored."
"Tell me when you're tired, I'll change"
Near and Cherio training had begun again under Roch's cover.
In the snow, the soldiers who had nothing to do listened to Nia and Yao and became attached to Nia's training. I guess the Beasts were also bored with the white monochrome world, but more than that, many offered to cooperate with Nia's hiccups.
She had many friends before Nia ran away from Gruzaldo in the first place. Nia wasn't otherwise loving, but she caught people's attention just because she was Lower's daughter. That's all I can say about the many people in the army who took care of Lore. But Nia didn't tease him otherwise that she was Lower's daughter, she just threw herself into training. That appearance resembled the lore of a young day, and she had more nature and collaborators.
It was also sympathetic that Amur treated her cold. Together, Nia was a relatively popular warrior in the military. She needed to recruit her own men to be 100 chiefs, but Nia still had a lot of people volunteering for her men before she was 100 chiefs, a story she didn't even know.
Nia fought in various situations with the help of a large number of beasts. He messed with five big bear beasts of his body, or dealt with beasts of multiple races, some of which were battles just sitting around. And Nia meditated in the evening, remembering those battles carefully. Gora was smiling and staring, not saying anything about the situation.
And Nia was obsessed with training, so Kazas had slightly more time to be left alone. Kazas, who can't even work in the field, had plenty of time, but at the same time began to come and go between Amur and Dryan. Sometimes Nia was aware that Kazas and Dryan were talking to each other all night. But until that point, Kazas didn't tell me inside.
Time is running out fast. When the snow in Gruzaldo began to disappear just as soon as February, and at the same time external information came in. The first piece of information that comes in is what the Expeditionary Army looks like where the people care.
