Organizing the Extermination Force

To hunt down the Demon Army, which had spread across a wide area, Velli-sensei and Hardy began laying pieces on the map and working out the troop organization and campaign plan.

"First, as a basic policy, Romelia-sama will of course remain here. You won't be sent to the front."

Hardy looked at me to make sure I understood.

"I understand."

I pursed my lips and objected.

Unless I were surrounded by a large allied force, it would be dangerous for me to go out while our forces were divided into small units and fighting in separate areas.

"You defeated Barbals, so the Demon Army holds a grudge against you. It wouldn't be surprising if assassins were lurking nearby. We also let the Red Armors, General Barbals's elite troops, escape."

Velli-sensei pointed out the danger I was in.

The Red Armors who broke through our encirclement were still unaccounted for.

I could make a rough guess at their objective. I didn't think they were targeting me, but there was no harm in being cautious...
