"Just a VR game, how real the Sun is doing? It's so annoying to flash your eyes!"

(*/??＼*)

On the wilderness in the southern bay area of ​​the Elasia continent, Anne was closing her eyes and letting the tall white horse she was riding walk forward step by step.

She was ordered to go to a stinging outpost that was not far from Caliard City...it was probably enough for her to ride a horse for a long time to report and accept the orders of a stingy queen named Catherine who had not known where to go early in the morning.

You know, she was originally very disgusted with getting up early in the morning to work, but given that she seemed to have been hired, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to fulfill the employment agreement that was like a sales contract so that she could earn a large commission that she could squander when she left this copy?

"Why……"

ε=(??ο｀*))) Alas

"Tibers, it turns out that it's really so difficult for ordinary people to make money. They just want to make hundreds of thousands of game coins and spend money, but they even have to work for an NPC..."

??°(°?????????????°)°??

Anne had already passed it. According to the agreement between her and Queen Catherine, she had to earn a thousand gold coins a day. If she wanted to earn enough commissions for a period of time, she would have to work for at least dozens of days... So, when she thought of how hard she had to work in this copy for so long but could only earn tens of thousands of gold coins, she had the urge to burn people!

(…)

(●￣(??)￣●)

(Tibers doesn't want to discuss this with a bad little master in his family, because in his opinion, in this 2045 Earth plane, such a thing that even ordinary people can make money by working a little harder in the game would be considered very good! If she had to do the 996 work-based work and then keep her busy for a month and not earning the money to buy a one-square-meter house, she would probably be so angry that she would burn her boss or some guys to ashes on the spot?)

“Eh?”

(??????????????)???????????????

"It seems to be there..."

|???????ω???)????

Suddenly, Anne stood up straight in the saddle, and then saw the situation ahead through the head of a hateful tall white horse, and saw a post station with the Eracia griffin flag hanging at the end of this mud road.

There was no doubt that there must be where she was going! So, after looking at the scorching sun above her head again, she didn't plan to slow down any longer, and she couldn't help but speed up and trotted forward.

‘Who is it? Stop!!’

‘!?’

‘You are the Lord Anne?’

‘Great, I finally waited for you…. I have a handwritten letter from Queen Catherine who ordered me to hand over to you. Please accept it quickly!’

As noon approached, in this post barracks outside Caliard, when a young pirate captain who had been impatient finally saw such a little girl who was exactly the same as the one described in the morning's order, he hurriedly met her. After holding the reins for the other party and seeing the mark on the other party's butt, he handed the roll of parchment letters that had not yet been opened to the other party.

"This place of yours is really hard to find..."

(lll￢▽￢)

"It's true, it's only one thousand gold coins a day. On the first day, I have to run out early in the morning to perform such messy tasks. That guy is so annoying. He hasn't even been able to sleep yet!"

(っ??-??)

Yes, in the end, Queen Catherine decided to hire Anne, a bully in the Caliard City Tavern, and after paying 2,500 gold coins in advance, the employment agreement between the two parties was signed.

And this is why Anne complained.

Because of the employment relationship, she can no longer wander around in this copy of the Elasia continent, but must obey the orders of some annoying queen, otherwise the "Oasis" game system will overturn her wages!!

"Hey~!"

??(????0`??)??Hu!

"It's really troublesome. Come on, I want to see what that guy she wants to do?"

(??⊙▽⊙`)?

After seeing the other party's hand shaking towards him, Anne, who was napping through the book of the letter, stretched her waist and snatched it from the other party's hand, then quickly took it apart and the piece of seal with the letter from the elder sister Catherine.

“Eh?!”

(??????????????)???????????????

Just a quick look, Anne figured out that this was indeed an order from the special commander of Queen Catherine:

‘Wizard Anne, from the place where we landed and the situation near Enlos, we can clearly find that Elasia is being invaded by the dungeon lords from Negan, and my people have been ruled by Negan's troops for at least two or three months, so we can basically conclude that in this nearby city, including Prince, My Khan City and Tria, it should have been occupied by Negan or Over's army...'

‘I have sent out all the other generals under my command, and they are conducting a comprehensive investigation into the situation in the territory of Eracia so that I can determine the extent of my country’s abuse and prepare for future wars! Therefore, your mission in this area has become relatively simple!’

‘Witcher, I now order you: use the city of Caliard I left as a base to find out the extent of Negan’s invasion nearby, and to find out the route they invaded! If you can block their main attack route and defend Caliard, we can quickly eliminate any enemies remaining in this area!’

‘Finally, good luck?”

“…”

(??_??)

Looking at the other party's letter, Anne probably understood what the other party was asking her to do. It was nothing more than investigating this area and guarding the broken city of Caliard. It seemed really very simple?

But when I think about the possible Negan army here, and when I think about the remaining snooker soldiers, swordsmen and archers of about twenty people, Anne suddenly realized that this task was not too easy either?

‘??’

‘Sir, what’s wrong with you?’

Seeing the little girl wizard in front of him who didn't know whether it was reliable or not, she began to sit on the saddle like that after reading the letter. The spearman who passed the letter to the other party waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party still had no reaction, he reminded him loudly with some confusion and kindness.

"ah!"

!(;??o??)o

"No, nothing, I'm just stunned!"

('-ω????)

"Correction, he is not a wizard, but a great arcane wizard! But... forget it, if you want to call a wizard, then just be a wizard, anyway, it's almost the same!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"By the way! Queen Catherine's elder sister said that she asked people to investigate and protect this area. How many troops did she leave for others? How many people are there in this sentry barracks?!"

|???????ω???)????

Anne felt that if there were too many people, she might have them all returned to Kaliard City to garrison, and then went out to wander around and investigate it alone and you could almost get a job.

‘How many people?’

‘There are not many, except for the griffin flags that can call on the soldiers and warriors who are scattered outside the Kingdom of Erasia, there is only these left!’

‘The soldiers have been taken away by Queen Catherine, and there is only one dog left in this post except us and two kids…’

The spearmen pointed innocently at the eighteen warriors behind him who were lined up outside the guard post and seemed to be energetic.

"That's all? What do these mean?!"

=??????????(?????*)

Anne's voice became a little sharp in vain, because she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been fooled by some hateful queen?

‘That’s these soldiers!’

‘Including I have nineteen people in total. We are Queen Catherine who stayed to help you…’

“!!”

!!!∑(??Д??ノ)ノ

"Why are there just a few people? You only have nineteen of them in total, so what's the use?"

=??????????(????????????)None━=?????????(??????????????)━Love!!!

If it is outside the Oasis game, Anne said that even if the other party doesn't send her a soldier, she can easily capture all the cities occupied by the Negans and successfully complete the task of defending Caliard!

However, if it were in this oasis game, her ability alone would be really powerful and ineffective... because she knew that there were indeed many powerful creatures or mages here, such as the lonely demon she met one day. If it was one-on-one, she would be able to kill the other party easily. However, if it was one-on-many, she would definitely not dare to confront her head.

'this……'

‘There is indeed a little less of our team, but the wizard, with this sacred griffin flag representing the Kingdom of Erasia, maybe you can use the name of Erasia or the Queen to summon the soldiers and warriors scattered all over the kingdom?’

‘You can also summon more farmers and the living townspeople and train them!’

The captain of the snatch obviously knew that it was difficult for them to do whatever they wanted to do. However, considering that the current chaos in the Kingdom of Eracia is in chaos, with the scattered raids and refugees scattered everywhere and the refugees who took up weapons to protect themselves. So, if they could be summoned, the situation might not be too bad.

“…”

(ー`??ー)

"Don't talk! People want to be alone now!"

(′～`●)

Yes, Annie wants to be quiet...

Because, she was thinking hard, with the nineteen spearmen left by Katherine in front of her who were not enough for her, a spearman who was bombed by the flame explosion technique and the less than 200 elderly, weak and sick people who were guarding the city of Caliard, what should she do to complete the task assigned by the abominable queen before leaving?

Anyway, she knew that these soldiers were definitely unreliable. Instead of relying on them, it would be better to rely on her bear! At least, the one she tried before, her bear Tibers was strengthened by her spending a lot of gold coins, even in this "oasis" game, she could beat that kind of demon when throwing it out, at least stronger than the useless spearmen of hundreds!
