Chapter 441


    Taurus


    “Uwaa, that’s a relief... it properly moved... I am d......”


    The ancient golem corps — an army corps made out of enormous ancient weapons which even makes the seasoned Crusader soldier taken aback .


    However, the one controlling them was just a single woman .


    A woman who would never be praised as a war Goddess of ancient times, a woman who is not only mediocre in appearance, but also has no more mana than your average person . She had unkempt hair and a pale face with freckles and was wearing an expression of relief — feeling of relief that she was able toplete her job . An expression far from what a soldier looking to conquer a huge castle would wear .


    And in fact, she wasn’t a soldier . She was neither a hired adventurer or a mercenary .


    Her name was Dorothy . She was the ancient weapon research division head of the White Sacrament’s fourth researchb . In other words, she was just a normal researcher .


    “Oi, you, why are you only moving 10 of them? I am sure I ordered to unleash all of them . ”


    Her moment of relief was short-lived . A sharp rebuking statement came flying towards her from behind soon enough .


    “I-I am terribly sorry, Count Bergunt......”


    As she timidly turned around, she was faced with the exemrymissioned officer of the Sinir army, the Count himself, equipped with pompous full armor . Although his high-strung slender face was not actually filled with anger, he was giving her a sharp gaze with his deep-green eyes which closely resembles the wind attribute’s mana .


    Commanding the Crusaders third army was the Count Vient Dominic Helvetia Bergunt . Although his name was quite lengthy, Dorothy, who had graduated from the Elishion magic academy, remembered the meaning it held, while it may be a bit vaguely .


    The Sinir Republic’s nobles’ names are structured like: First name – holy name – territory name – family name . If we were to decipher the Count’s name, it would be that he’s Mr . Vient from the Bergunt family who are governing the Helvetiand and have the holy name Dominic as Christians .


    However, that is about all she knows — only the fundamental knowledge about them . She neither knows the speech she should be using with the nobles nor the troublesome manners and etiquettes . She hadn’t learnt those at school and even if she did, she doesn’t remember any .


    Even so, since she was spoken to, she had no choice but to answer — the tough said of working .


    “Th-this is... you see, umm, uhh, because I reformed the craft hangar to the mobile type, the Magius drive’s conductivity just isn’t reaching high enough to clear the start line so–”


    “Eeeii, I don’t need disorderly iprehensible excuses . Can you deploy them, can you not, or are you being hesitant — which is it?”


    Such a reaction, even though she perfectly summed up the current situation . Humans are always like this . Blind to their own shorings and yet criticizing others’ way of talking .


    However, Dorothy wasn’t fed up or sad . She has alreadye to the conclusion that other people are just like that . Rather, this Count is gentleman-like and better than most as he’s just a bit irritated and is not yelling or hitting her .


    “Umm, that is...... the main frame and the pilot’s adaptation is–”


    “... . You... restrain yourself . ”


    And now, veins were appearing on his forehead .


    “Even though you have been appointed as themander of the golem corps by bishop Judas, you’re now under my army’smand . It will be troubling if you were to do as you please . ”


    Even though she was the one who was actually troubled at this moment .


    On top of listening to the almighty nobles, Dorothy had to keep controlling the advancing ancient golems which she had activated .


    The golems had started walking along the snow field but if Dorothy stopped executing the walking code, they would copse on the ground immediately .


    And of course, this procedure wasn’t something simple one can do in their spare time like signing documents . It needs utmost attention as the data changes every moment and she needs to keep adjusting it or start from the top .


    She really didn’t have the leeway to be dealing with an ignorant amateur’s ims .


    “Listen closely now, you have the duty of giving me appropriate reports and exnations as I am the suprememand–”


    “In short, she is telling you that she can’t move them ‘cause we don’t have enough mana! Now, get a move on, old man! You’re being a hindrance to Dorothy-chan . ”


    A girl came cutting into the conversation and drove away the Count as if she was shoo-ing away a dog .


    She had a cute face with big round eyes and blonde twintails . However, the clothes she was wearing on her small slender body was a thick cheap coat . It had fluffy red-brownish fur and a big hoodie, around which there was pure white fur . It all looked quite warm . However, when you look at her as a whole, it oddly looks worn out . ‘Secondhand goods’ is the first word thates to mind .


    That was the only heavy outfit she was wearing to fend off the cold . She had a mini-skirt on with ck leggings . Even in this cold winter, she looked like a courageous stylish high-school girl .


    That said, judging from the worn-out bow she wore on her back and the hand-made looking quiver behind her waist, it felt like she was not in fact a student of Elishion, rather an adventurer . Naturally, from her appearance which depicted that it has not been long since she has be an adult and from her low-grade equipment, she gave off no veteran feel whatsoever .


    Such an all-around novice-looking girl had just been terribly rude to the suprememander of this huge army .


    “Kuhh, you......”


    However, Count Bergunt was only making a sour face as if he had just bitten on a bitter bug, let alone shout out on her disrespect .


    “Amateurs should just stay quiet without meddling . It would be your fault if the golems were to copse from this, you know, old man!”


    The adventurer girl said out tly with a pointing pose . In response to that, the Count was just mortified and replied with in a gloomy voice .


    “... . Alright, I will leave all the golem controlling to you . However, I have an agreement with bishop Judas that you will have to move ording to my strategy . Don’t forget that . Also, I am not an old man . Call me suprememander . ”


    “Yea, yea, I get it so just go already . See ya, bye-bye, don’te again, old man . ”


    After giving onest annoyed re with his green eyes, General Bergunt returned, taking back his subordinates who were watching over the situation, breaking cold sweat .


    “U-umm, Ai-san... I am sorry...”


    “It’s all good! My quest is to be your escort, after all!”


    In response to Dorothy’s gratitude, the adventurer named Ai replied with a refreshing smile .


    “More importantly, shouldn’t you be focusing on the control? That’s quite tough, right?”


    “Ah, yes...... well...”


    Although her reply was vague, she was happy for the offer . She couldn’t help but hate herself a bit for not being able to say ‘thank you’ without hesitation in these situations .
