"Commence Sortie It has been one year since the siege of the manor took place. With special forces in hand, the Maiden began her counterattack on the Demon Lord. Down a ways on Hell's Beach lies Castle Eventine, one of his footholds. If the girls could capture this base and free any captives, it would prove a useful resource for pushing through on the rest of this war. The girls had the advantage - nobody knew they were coming. At least, nobody was supposed to know.
It wasn't just the heroines' strength that grew stronger - thanks to the girls captured at the mansion, the demons had recuperated their numbers lost from the previous battle plus more on top of that. Some offspring, depending on who their mother was, developed increased strength or evolved to control certain types of magic. One was even born with insane speed, similar to that of the heroine that took down the Beast General. Despite this growth, the Beast General's presence could never be replaced, leaving only three potential generals to field in any capacity: Monster, Tentacle, and Human.
The day before the attack began, the Maiden sent out her acting commander, the Blademaster, to scout out the castle in the nearby woods. She was to draw up a plan and send it back to the rest of the mercenaries later that night. With high target threats and safe routes identified, the heroines would be able to prove victorious.
That didn't happen.
Awakened by a splash of water, the Blademaster found herself in a cell. Stripped of her belongings and chained up, she tried to figure out what had gone wrong. Before her stood a monster - a gray goblin with glowing eyes wearing a large hat. It spoke.
"Wake up. You're going to help me, no, help us"
The girl froze up in fear - in all the history of this world, no monster has ever spoken a coherent sentence before. Until this point, it had been an array of indistinguishable noises. This one.. it spoke to her.
"Tonight, when you head back to your camp, give them this map. Tell them to take these two routes. Split them up. Tell them to dress down in as little armor as possible, their swimsuits, preferably. Oh.. finally.. tell them this is the easiest assignment you've ever seen. Lie to them. Give them confidence. Once you've done that, head back here for further instructions"
She barked back. "And why would I listen to you?"
The creature smirked. Pulling out from behind him was a watch - the very same, yet broken, watch that the Servant had used in her defense of the mansion.
"Because you will"
Over the past year, the watch's properties were studied and repurposed into a device that could manipulate its target. He slowly swung the watch in front of her and watched as any resistance she had fell under his command"
"Yes.. anything for you.. my Master.."
It was still early and she wasn't expected to return back to camp until later that evening. All this meant for him was that there was plenty of time to play with his new toy before he sent her away. "
