Chapter 71: Battle of Clavicule 2 (7)

Tullius proposing a ceasefire in the face of monster invasion bolstered the soldiers feelings to the side of Tullius. The common sense he advocated for that humanity should unite to fight against the monsters created sympathy towards him. In the eyes of many of the soldiers, the young man who disappeared in a cloud of dust seemed to be a tragic hero.

Notwithstanding the fact that Tullius Oubeniel was the one who had brought them to this miserable battlefield.

(No, it cant be. Im probably being overly distrustful......)

She shook her head as she slashed at some enemy. It could have been a zombie or an enemy soldier. No matter how hard she tried, she couldnt imagine how this situation could have been pulled off intentionally. He won the trust of a large number of refugees and recruited them to counter the St. Gallen's army, and finally gained victory. And how is it possible for a human to manipulate this many monsters? If such a thing were possible, the balance between the four major powers would have been broken long ago. Humanity has been fighting amongst themselves and monsters. Monsters were the enemy of all of mankind. It should be impossible to ally with them. Surely this chaotic situation was a product of chance.

However, no matter how much she tried to think so, a vague unease would not leave Elisha's heart.

It grew deeper into the night. The war raged on.

On the surface, overlooked by the moon and the stars, the battle continued endlessly.

The army of Arquell were defending the western area of Clavicule Basin.

To the east, the Army of St. Gallen was trying to overrun Arquell and take over the basin.

And behind them, the horde of monsters attacked any human, regardless of their affiliation.

With three different parties on the battlefield, the war only became more and more chaotic as time went on.

The Arquellian soldiers shouted.

"Drive back the invaders!"

"Avenge our villages and fields!"

The soldiers of St. Gallen shouted back.

"Stop lying! Your nobles were the ones who burned the lands!"

"Are you trying to pin the crime on us?"

And then, even more fierce and hateful curses were exchanged.

"Stop finding excuses! You burned our village to the ground! You poisoned our wells!"

"I saw with my own eyes how you burned the wheat field!"

"My village's daughter was toyed with by you guys! I'll never forgive you!"

Among the voices, those on the side of Arquell were showing concern to Tullius. They idolised him as a hero for exposing himself to negotiate for a ceasefire.

They were unaware of the person who led them by their noses to the war, who burned their villages and poisoned their wells. The ridiculousness of it all earned Drei's scorn, and stimulated Charls sadism.

"However. I present my doubts. I feel that. Being famous is not to Master's tastes. He does not desire the recognition of the world."

"What do you mean, Fem? As long as it is advantageous, master would want it."

Drei gave a wry smile.

"Yeah, yeah, politics, y'know? The more points you collect, the better off you'll be later on."

Charl added.

"Ugh~...... sounds difficult to understand......"

"It's not our area of expertise. I conclude. I am built for combat, and you are for research. If it is in the field of politics, Sir Victor or Sir Laubert would be better than the Opus series."

As she said this, Fem turned her gaze in another direction.

An army of monsters was in the midst of laying waste to the St. Gallen's army. One girl stood out from the rest, rampaging around.

"I like to change the subject. Rather than that, I'm more interested. In the results of the test subject."

"The test subject......? Oh, that?"

Charl became somewhat unenthusiastic.

The performance evaluation test of the V-01Y, or Vee, had already been done on the thousand St. Gallen soldiers the other day. And in his view, the battle now was no longer a test, and was just a way to sacrifice her. She was being used in a suicide attack against St. Gallen's army because she and her undead have little connection to Tullius' camp and there was no problem discarding her. Of course, they were not going to declare her as an ally, so she would naturally be attacked by Arquell too.

"I wonder if there's anything left to test on that thing? This fight is just an expanded version of the last one."

"Oh, I get it! I know what you are hoping to see, Fem!"

Seis clapped her hands in realisation.

"There is, isn't there, one person in this battlefield. Someone who could fight a vampire on even terms. Fem, you want to see V-01Y fight that person, don't you?"

"You are right. I confirm."

Fem mimicked a happy smile on her mechanical face. It was rare for this golem girl to even attempt to change her expression. The friends who had the opportunity to see it looked at each other to confirm the unusual sight.

But she continued.

"We've already evaluated the mop-up battle against miscellaneous soldiers and given it a fair score. Next, I want data on the pure combat capability of targeting powerful individuals."
