I saw a few unfamiliar faces after entering the tent that Miralda was waiting in.\n
âItâs good to see you again, Golan.â
âLikewise, General Miralda.â
This meeting inside a tent.
It reminded me of the first time I was called to Nehyorâs tent.
There had been no chair for me to sit in, which caused some trouble.
Of course, this time, I did have a chair. Or at least, there was an empty chair left.
âAllow me to introduce you. This is Golan the Ogre. Heâs come all of the way from Lesser Demon King Melvisâs country.â
âIâm Golan.â
I did a slight bow. Let them see an Ogre with proper manners. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Yes, I could do it if I wanted.
âAnd these are our members. Sit down, Golan.â
âYes, General.â
I sat down in one of the empty seats.
âYou already know Dyle.â\n
âHeâs been very good to us on our way here.â
âI see. Iâm glad to hear it. And that is Oake, sitting next to Dyle.â
âA Crystal Eye?â
âVery good. Yes, Oake is a Crystal Eye. They are often called the great sorcerers of the forest.â
Oakeâs entire body was translucent. He was probably male.
He nodded at me and so I quietly said, âgood to meet you.â
There wasnât a single Crystal Eye living in Lesser Demon King Melvisâs country.
They were beings that some called crystal spirits, and they generally never left the forest.
I had never seen one before, and had never expected to in my lifetime.
I only knew of them because they had such unique appearances.
âAnd next we have Baltasar. A Gurangatch. He and Oake are Corps Commanders.â
âGood to meet you.â
ââŠHmph.â
Well, this crocodile man clearly didnât like me.
The Gurangatch was a high-ranking Lizard Man. \nLizardmen evolved into High Lizardmen, and then from there they turned into Exlizardmen etcetera. Lizardmen evolved many times.
The Gurangatch were supposed to be a race that branched off at some point and became more crocodile-like.
They were about two or three evolutions away from the average Lizardman.
I had heard that they were like Ogres, and could not use magic, and relied on physical strength.
However, unlike Ogres, they had resistance against magic attacks, on top of being able to do great damage with their fists alone.
âAnd then we have my Adjutant, Minish.â
âMiss Minish has also been an incredible help while we traveled.â
âAnd then we have Lacte and Borg, but they arenât here right now. Just know that they are both strong and brilliant Dragons.â
Strong Dragons⊠In other words, they were likely the military officers.
It made sense, since Minish and Halm were the civil officers.
Of course, they all had so much mana that I couldnât tell who would be stronger.
âAs for absent Corps Commanders, there is Ralf and Sven. But they are headed here right now, along with Halm and Borg.â
I suppose she was talking about the third army.
Miralda had now introduced nine important people. There were ten including her.
\nThey were the tips.
As for me and Dyle, we were at the spot where the three prongs united.
And I suppose the main camp was the grip of the trident.
Miralda and Baltasarâs names were written there. These were the positions of the five Corps Commanders.
We were supposed to undergo basic training with Dyle, so I guess thatâs why we were positioned there.
It really didnât matter to me, if we were at the main camp or not.
âOake has already finished preparations for going to the frontlines, and Ralf and Sven will soon follow after theyâve trained their men. And it was after much consideration that I decided that you and your men should be placed here.â
I donât care about these explanations. Just tell us where to go and weâll go.
Were they being so nice to us because we were âguestsâ?
Such courtesies were wasted on a corps like us. It was a lot of pointless effort.
I wondered if Miraldaâs subordinates were not annoyed by all of this.
âReally, they take everything literally and go and do it. And then itâs we who have to clean up the mess.â
