At the main gate of the Fortified City Virginia, there was a figure of a girl.
With faint light blue short-hair that resembles flowing spring water and glittering golden eyes, her appearance is very adorable and bewitching, although her face was a very sleepy one.
Such absent-mindedly looking girl was wearing a big triangular black hat, a black robe decorated with feathers and a staff that is about the same height as herself in her hand.
Be they people of the Ark Continent, or people of the Pandora Continent, anyone that saw her appearance would definitely call her a [Witch].
While there is no significant difference between a witch and a magician as a job class, a girl with the set of these three points; a black triangular pointed hat, black robe and a staff is commonly called as a [Witch].
Stories related to a witch are very famous that anyone could recall at least one childhood story appearing a witch.
And the witch girl right now, did not seem to have any more business at the fortress city and trying to leave the city instead.
As she was leaving, the gatekeeper reached out to her.
"Miss, even though the crusaders will be here soon, are you really gonna walk away now?"
The girl stopped and turned to the gatekeeper, answered him with a small nod.
"There will be an Apostle, the church strongest knight, with 15 thousand elite soldiers. They also said that an archbishop is leading the army. This time, we can win for sure. Don't you mercenaries always choose the side with the most chances to win?"
The gatekeeper did not participate in the last Daidaros' invasion, thus does not know about the truly terrifying Devil Army. However, the girl did not have any attention to point that out to him.
If one was to ask her why it was because what the gatekeeper said was right and perfectly understandable.
In the previous invasion, it was clearly that their underestimating of the enemy had resulted in their loss. It was an utter defeat when she recalled about it, although she did not suffer any single scratch from it.
But this time, like what the gatekeeper said, they are preparing enough war potential for this counterattack.
It took about a month to prepare for it and finally now, reinforcement of 15 000 soldiers, equipment, food supplies and other various things will be here in Virginia.
The girl could not say for sure which side would win this time, but she agreed that the war power that is brought this time is incomparable with the last invasion.
And for mercenaries like her that crossed the sea to come to Pandora Continent, this is the best-awaited chance for them to show their strength and earn lots of rewards eagerly.
It would be a different story if she ran right after they lost the first war, but looking at the situation right now, this is the time to make money thus running away right now is something that a mercenary would hardly do.
At the very least, the gatekeeper did not think that this girl is trying to run from the battlefield out of fear.
Because if she was, she would have done so half-year ago along with the priests, boarded the ships at the port and went back to Ark. And she did not look like she was thinking about to run away from Virginia towards the unexplored and dangerous Pandora Continent.
"So you're really going?"
The girl nodded once again.
Although she looked absentminded and sleepy, the gatekeeper thought she looked very determined.
"Alright, when are you going then? Got somewhere in your mind?
The girl replied without a change in her face.
"Place where I can eat more tasty food"
Witch's way of thinking is really different from normal human, the gatekeeper thought as he watched the girl walked out from the city.
The very next day, 15 000 crusaders led by Sariel set sail for departure with the aim of conquering Daidaros.
