Another Life

Empty Cavalry

Early the next morning, the northernmost part of Lake City was in the Central District, but only a limited number of people were allowed in.

The Knights of the Dragons headquarters, which is literally the headquarters of the Knights of the Dragons, has a small dragon stable called Feilongu, and because of its importance, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Knights of the Dragons or their leader, Christina.

With a serious face in the building, Gentaro appeared heading to the briefing room.

Nobuhiro Sanada Gentaro.The rank in the Allied army was Second Lieutenant, one of the sons of Yunta Sanada Nobunaga, an Earl of the Kingdom of Cesel, known as the Shinano serpent, who had been looking forward to the future from a young age.

In addition, he is Faye's husband, a nearby adopted daughter, a classmate and friend of Pandora's in school, and a friend who often acted together with Charlie and the others during his student life.

Why didn't he join the Knights of Ravana, where his father was the captain of many of the Knights?At the time of enrollment, the Sanada family was an elder of the Shinano guardian Takahashi family, and the Knights of Lavana did not exist, but why did they join the Knights of Saint Dragon, which was the only air force, unlike other Knights of the ground army?It was caused by the line of faith, which was his father.

His father, Nobunaga, was a warlord feared by his brother Tokujiro Sanada and Shohei Nobunaga in the Rutai Empire. Since becoming the Count of the Kingdom of Cesel, he has fought in Kawanakajima with the victory of Left Jinjin, and Left Jinjin has won a single victory. Initially, it was hostile to the aristocracy in Japan, but Left Jinjin praised his courage. The hostility disappeared, and he became a warrior equal to Left Jinjin, known as the War God, and gained respect and fear.

Compared to such a great father, Gentaro understood that he was inferior in intelligence and courage.

But I really want to be recognized by my father.What I heard at that time was the presence of the Knights of the Holy Dragons.

Unlike other ground units, each Knights, Gentaro went to the Knights of the school saying that the Knights of the Holy Dragon, which is dominated by the sky, could not be compared to his father's Shinto.

Although he was such a Gentaro, he didn't usually show such a gesture because of his cheerful personality.

"Lieutenant Mada, good morning."

When Gentaro looked back at the voice of a woman, there was a cute system with chestnut hair that somehow resembled Fay, and a teenage human girl was standing there.

"Oh, Captain Marc.Good morning. "

Apart from Christina, the Knights of the Dragons are now riding flying dragons in pairs and employing a tactic proposed by Etranze, Arnold Jefferson, a woman who was the daughter of the Baron of the Kingdom of Cesel, named Captain Berito Marc, the communications officer and partner of Gentaro.

Berit smiled and asked Gentaro, who greeted him sleepy.

"Maybe you couldn't sleep worrying about your wife?

"Idiot, my wife's swordsmanship is Yanagi's new pussy, she's stronger than me.That's not it... it's today's operation. "

"Hee... even a second lieutenant can be nervous."

"I'm nervous. I'm delicate."

In response to Gentaro's answer, Berit unexpectedly frowned and entered the briefing room after Gentaro, and the Knights of the Dragons gathered together, as did the airborne troops.

... there's a lot less dragon riders here, too.

With that in mind, I sat down with Berit, and after a while Deputy Commander Saheiji and Christina came in.

In the gaze of Gentaro, who stood up and saluted at the same time, Christina and the men and women of the Operations Intelligence Bureau came into sight and sat down. A female soldier put a large map on the white board in front of her, and the men of the Intelligence Bureau started talking with a baton.

"This is Major Heath Linzer from Operations Intelligence.I will now explain today's operation.

The Principality of Antonam is now gathered in the Saint-Claude area, with wooden walls built over 20 kilometres along the coast, piles in the estuary and a line of defense.

And the remnants of the kingdom of Enburg are there to join, and most of them the air force of the kingdom of Enburg. "

Heath points to the map and explains the words to the Knights of the Dragons as they glitter with tension.

"The Knights of the Holy Dragons' mission today is to have their air force beaten first.Currently, the confirmed air force strength is 50 birds. "

As for the explanation, when everyone of the Knights of the Dragon spoke with Zawazawa anxiously, when Christina looked at him, everyone shut up and said, Christina put her arms together and legs together.

"Even if we collect wounded combat and bomber dragons, we have only 14 troops.But there are more than 50 of them… I know how you feel, just because the Knights of the Holy Dragons lost so many knights and flying dragons to a handful of air force opponents in the battle of Belkheim.

In the Kingdom of Enburg, there were only sporadic, small-scale fights, but could this really bring back the stigma?And now that we know that the tactics proposed by Warrant Lieutenant Jefferson will work in a small battle, what will we be afraid of?

Only my Knights of the Dragons can be the Kings of the Sky... otherwise, crush everything.Take vengeance on the people who were shot down. "

When everyone nodded with a serious expression to Christina's words, Christina nodded toward Heath, and Heath continued to explain.

"The Big Bird of the Example has just parted in half and is based 18 kilometers south of this coastline.Therefore, the Knights of the Dragons will launch further south from this point and bombard enemy bases. "

Mick, the deputy commander's assistant, raises his hand to ask Heath's explanation.

"We were told to launch from the middle of most of the enemy territory, but are we already able to secure the launch point?

"I'm sorry, but it's hard to say it's done.Originally, I wanted to secure a base and use space transfer, but the brave man of the intelligence bureau was killed and it became impossible.

Therefore, secure the base in Plan B.Second Lieutenant Sanada, we have a special assignment for both of you, Captain Marc!

Ha!

Yes!

Heath said sorry to the two of them who stood up.

"Departure from a convoy scheduled to land from the inland sea, make a major westward detour, infiltrate Sun Close on a single horse, head to the point of departure, and transport the Knights of the Dragons and air defenses in space transfer."

"Eh!? Are we alone?

To his surprise, Heath nodded and Gentaro answered one step earlier, when he tried to say that the blue-blue belit was impossible.

"Second Lieutenant Nobuhiro Sanada Gentaro and Captain Berito Marc are on a special mission!

"Hey, Second Lieutenant....."

Gentaro replies with a smile to Berito, who seems worried about saying so.

"Don't worry. It's okay, trust my arm."

Until Gentaro told me this, Berit could not contest anything, and Christina who saw such a berit said.

"Second Lieutenant, Captain. I will entrust you with the thoughts of my friends who have been scattered so far, and those who can't deploy without losing Feilong... and come back alive."

Do you know that Christina's words are the thoughts of everyone on the spot? Gentaro and Berito reply respectfully.

Ha!

"Now, let's move on.Ensign Maeda's space shift will allow the Knights of the Dragons to launch from their point of departure and bomb the Bird's stronghold… Perhaps in the evening, it will only be this once.Afterwards, they will return to their point of departure and bombard the battlefield as requested the following morning.

Airborne units are heading north from the point of departure and attacking the coastline.The landing party is supposed to attack after the airborne attack. "

"Same as Operation Echigo Landing, right?

When Travis, the airborne captain, asks questions, Heath nods and answers.

"Colonel Escorda is right.However, unlike Echigo, we use the Knights of the Dragons to make us think that there are allies in the south, so please be careful. "

"Superior. Our Allied Airborne Corps is an immortal elite unit.If they say that, no one will burn. "

According to Travis, everyone in the same airborne unit nodded, and Heath continued to explain, even though he thought he could count on it.

"Not at all, as long as it's reliable.After you secure the coastline, reunite with the Knights of Ravana and transport the Allied forces to the coastline before proceeding. "

"Got it. I can fight the Nobunaga serpent who hunted down His Majesty Sakura. I can't look forward to it."

Listening to Travis' words, Gentaro immediately said that Christina knew that her father's belief line was crossing her mind and making her uncomfortable because of the same situation.

"This operation will be a major night raid across the Allied army, and our Knights of the Holy Dragons will be at the forefront of it.With each and every one of you carrying the Eastern Union, let's fight with pride. "

When everyone nodded seriously in Christina's words, Christina said something surprising to Gentaro.

"When the Southern Continent and the Subcontinent are finished, the wedding of Her Royal Highness Princess Sakura Pandora of the Kingdom of Cesel will be held.Of course, every Knights will be celebrated... so don't do it. "

Everyone responds with a salute to the words, but Gentaro is the only one who opens his mouth with Pokan, and when everyone who notices Gentaro turns his eyes, Gentaro asks with a trembling voice.

"Yes, Commander... what did you just say?

"What, you didn't hear me?

When Pandora is agreed to marry Tor, and this battle is over, the wedding of Princess Sakura Pandora and Sakura Tor will be held in the country.

Didn't you hear your wife was in Hasha?

Hearing Christina's words, Gentaro unexpectedly shouted as the scenery went around.

"That's a lie! It's a lie that the young unattended queen... would never marry the last of her classmates!

Did you think this was bad for Gentaro, who was confused in his head and mind? Belit grabbed Gentaro's arm and told Christina.

"Lieutenant Nobuhiro Sanada Gentaro and Captain Berit Mark are on a special mission!Here we go, Second Lieutenant!

While pushing confused Gentaro, Berit laughed at the people in the briefing room and walked out. Heath questioned Christina in the room that turned into a scene.

"That... is a complete royal insult, isn't it?

"Let him go, Major.A classmate and best friend of the princess... it would be a surprise to know her nature. "

... what do you care about the princess?

With that in mind, Christina stood up and shouted as she smiled at Heath nodding.

"Once Second Lieutenant Sanada is connected to space transfer, we will launch immediately!Make sure you're ready to move out anytime!

I was worried about Gentaro in my heart because, in Christina's words, everyone saluted him and saw those who left the briefing room in a hurry. Thanks to the proximity to the left, the space shift became usable, but because of the position of the commander, it became possible to press Gentaro.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

At that time, a fleet of the Knights of Ravana was waiting on the sparkling and sun-reflecting waters north of Saint-Claude.All ships have sailed and stopped moving in time for the upcoming Night Assault.

In the middle of the ship were Nobunaga, Changheng and Yataro, who connected the space transfer to the central castle in Lake City.And from the smoke came a full black armor and a phosphorus wearing Raven's black feathered cape, and the Knights of Ravana on board said, "Oh!I was shouting.

Commander Lynn, it's been a while.

It was before the Lutai Empire Civil War that Nobunaga met Lynn, usually because he was traveling through Changheng's space transition.For that reason, somewhere his brother Tokujiro raised his head in deep silence when a line of faith sounded like he was still alive.

Lynn's actions were accompanied by Shinanaga Kamijo, a childhood familiar with Kiyoshin, who said he didn't understand the meaning.

"The Lieutenant-Colonel would like to express his condolences for Colonel Sanada's brother.I came back to Central Castle and I was really worried. "

Even though you said that you had joined Kawanakajima, this benevolence... was even worried about us, who were enemies.

While inadvertently holding his wet eyes, Nobunaga lowered his head and said to Lynn.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lin.Even though they were enemies at that time, Tokujiro would be tearing happily in the afterlife. "

Yataro asks Yataro when he sees Lynn bowing his head over and over again in the words of the Shinto.

"Sanada-san, who is this man?

"Oh, that's right, let me introduce you.This is Lord Lynn, who usually protects Central Castle in Lake City.

I think you know its strength because it is Raven, but it is an army sidekick who won the first riding battle with that Kagosawa Yoshinaga.

But this is how your voice sounds when you're throated in battle.However, as you can see, even a strong man is a great benevolent, never proud.

The ranks in the army are under one Commander, but one respects and admires samurai like Lord Lynn. "

... Colonel, you're mistaken.The Lieutenant-Colonel is just an extreme stranger, unable to speak and cannot walk outside without armor like this.

It was a heavy business in my heart, but the Knights of Lavana on board also stared at Lynn with respect, and it was not a very telling air.Looking at such a heavy workload, Nobunaga said, the heavy workload comes forward and salutes and greets.

"At first, under the command of the Lieutenant-Colonel, I am Warrant Officer Kamijo of the Central Castle Guard!I've come this time to interpret the Commander's words. "

"Wow, how generous is it that you have interpreted ordinary samurai?This is Sadako Kojima, who runs this viking.I'll see you later. "

Said Yataro, Lynn lowered his head many times, and Nobunaga asked with a smile.

"So, Lord Lynn.I wonder if you'll be able to break out with me tonight?

Lin nodded to Nobunaga's words and took the giant magic spear out of the item box, and the industry responded instead.

"The Lieutenant-Colonel said he wanted to go into trouble for a long time. He asked if it would be okay to go inside on a solo ride and break down the castle wall due to space transition."

When Nobunaga smiled unexpectedly at the words of the profession, she replied pleasantly.

"That's interesting. Let me show you the power of Raven."

Lin lowered his head slightly and nodded whether his intentions had been conveyed. The woman in the communications soldier reported to Lin Lin.

"I report, the Knights of the Dragons are ready... Second Lieutenant Sanada is on his way."

Because it's the same last name, or because Yataro might be looking at Nobunaga with his face, he answers with a slight smell of smell whether he is happy to see his son's sunny appearance.

"It's some kind of stupid breath.Lord Lynn, please. "

When Lin connected the space transition to the sky, Gentaro and Belit came out after a while on the flying dragon, and saw them riding together for the first time. Gentaro shouted at the fujitsu, which turned into a surprise face.

"Dad! Pandora says she'll get married after the war!

"Stupid! That's not what I'm saying, so don't concentrate on your role!

Gentaro flew in the western direction while being nervous to the careful Shinanaga, and the Shinanaga said unexpectedly, "My stupid son", but his face looked happy, but I could hear a heavy voice from behind.

"Commander, be careful!

When Nobunaga looked back on the words, he could not believe Pandora was getting married, or he was about to fall down on one knee.

... perhaps Lord Lin was in love with the princess?

With that in mind, Nobunaga was smiling at Lynn.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Gentaro was flying in the sunshine, glittering on the water, moving west.Behind Gentaro, Berit gives instructions to Gentaro with a map and compass in one hand.

"Second Lieutenant, it's time to go south.You should see the headland. "

Roger that.

When Gentaro said that, he was flying by turning Hiryu to the left, Berit asked Gentaro a question.

"Does the Second Lieutenant get along well with Pandora?

"I was close, or used to be close when I was a student.My wife, Shirley, the current deputy commander of Hasha, and Eli, the Knights of the SS, have always been with me since I enrolled in college... why did you do that?

"No... even though I was a nobleman, I was the three women of the baron's house, which is a lower nobility, so I was interested in seeing the royal family at the party."

Gentaro answers the bellito's words with a slight frustration.

"You don't have to think about royalty.Pandora doesn't change her attitude because of her status, nor does your Majesty change her attitude because of her status, so don't hesitate to treat her... Captain, I still can't see the headland. "

When Gentaro told him, Berit looked at the map in haste and said.

"No, that shouldn't be... I'm sorry, I'll calculate it again"

Belit apologized and looked at the map, but Gentaro looked around and said.

"Never mind, this is a common thing to say.And because it's flying low, it's hard to see the surroundings... we're going to go up altitude. "

"Eh!? This is already hostile territory.Raising altitude is dangerous!

He said, "It's okay."

Gentaro said that, when he raised the dragon and checked the surroundings, he saw a headland on the south-east side.

"Captain, I see a headland to the south-east.Looks like you've gone a little too west. "

"That's true. Now let's get back to the low altitude flight and hurry to our destination."

Belit told me that Gentaro dropped altitude and headed to his destination.In Belito's navigation, Gentaro and Belito flew over rugged places and forests, avoiding villages written on the map, which were as unpopular as possible, but several veterinarians listened to fishermen's reports and discovered Gentaro and followed them.

Gentaro and the others, who do not think they are being followed at the speed of Feilonglong, came to the small plain surrounded by the forest, which is the planned point, and red smoke came out in the middle of the plain.

Understanding that that was the destination, Gentaro stepped down to the place, and the patience of the two intelligence agencies came from the forest.

"Good work, Second Lieutenant.We are vigilant in the vicinity of the Bureau of Intelligence's other ninjas.

Call me Sergeant.He's a corporal. "

"I understand this is the middle of hostile territory.I'm the second lieutenant, and this is the captain. "

Well then, Second Lieutenant. Excuse me, but can you send these wounded to Rugogne later?

"Yeah, of course."

"Thank you for your time."

The sergeant lowered his head and raised his hand to give a signal to Gentaro.About five seriously wounded people came from the woods.

"Captain, I need you to check the perimeter, then let me know you're ready for space transfer."

"Hee? Isn't that right?

"We're still looking around in the air... right?

"Roger that. Hey, the view here is beautiful."

Understanding what Gentaro wanted to say, Belit contacted headquarters as Gentaro told him, and the sergeant bowed his head and thanked him.

After that, Gentaro, who sent the seriously wounded first to Rugogne, connected the space transfer to the Knights of the Dragons, and the flying dragons and ammunition were brought in one after the other. Christina also connected the space transfer and quickly moved.

"Well, we're on our way."

"Good luck."

When Travis lowered his head lightly to Christina, he led the airborne unit to the shoreline.

And when Christina, who finished the transport after noon, gave a silent signal, the Knights of the Holy Dragon rides on the flying dragon, and Christina said to Gentaro and the intelligence bureau Shinobi.

"Second lieutenant, use the magic circle to replenish it.You're the next team in Sahei. "

Roger that.

All that remains is the construction of temporary positions.

Roger that.

"Alright. Last but not least, don't forget to bombard enemy bases thoroughly and evacuate them immediately.

If the sun goes down completely, a night flight in a place without land reckoning is just a suicide.Now, the Knights of the Holy Dragons!

By Christina's decree, the Knights of the Dragons flew one after the other into the air, breaking up with the first unit headed by Christina and the second unit headed by Saheiji and flying towards the target air base.

The remaining Knights of the Knights of the Dragons and the Shinobi of the Intelligence Bureau who had dropped it off were putting dirt in the dust sack and building walls to create a temporary position, but the beasts who were following Gentaro and the others, who were watching from outside the Intelligence Bureau's Shinobi vigilance network, disappeared in the western direction.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Gentaro, who was flying at low altitude toward the target base, looked at the ground and saw the idyllic countryside.

Even though it's such a peaceful place, Belit in the back said to Gentaro that he feels that it's going to be a battlefield somewhere.

Second Lieutenant, it's time to go.

Roger that.

When the power came to grip Gentaro's rope, the woman riding behind Saheiji in front of her raised the flag of the Knights of the Great Holy Dragon Horizon horizontally so that she could see it well.Then he saw a place lined with huts surrounded by barley fields.

Gentaro and the others fired shots as the bells rang in response to the attack on the ground and the beasts appeared from the hut.

On the bullets poured down against the butterfly and the fallen beasts, a woman in the rear, carrying a huge box of branded balls, riding a large flying dragon called a bomber dragon, lit the wrapped fuse and dropped the branded balls from the box.

Immediately afterwards, he lit and threw more fire into the fuse wire of the pot attached to both sides of the dragon, and the pot exploded in the air, igniting the oil that was inside and causing the flames to rain.

Looking carefully at the huge explosion and the ground where the screams echoed, Gentaro saw a beast on a tuk-head, called a big bird, coming out of another hut.

"Captain, tell them they're still here!

"Roger that!

That's what Gentaro said, shooting at the beast before he flew.He was Gentaro, who managed to defeat the Beast before flying, but Berit screamed from behind.

"Second Lieutenant, we've got one coming up from behind!

Shit!

"The Lieutenant Commander is backing up!

"Roger that. Captain, please!

"Roger that!

The belit held a rifle in his back and shot at the Beast, and the bullet fell off and came towards Gentaro and the others with a gunshot.

"Sorry, I took it off!

"I don't care, is the deputy commander here?

"I'm coming. I put it behind the bird!Turn to the right at the right!

Roger that.

That said, I heard Berit's voice in Gentaro's ear fighting the fear of being attacked from behind.

"Now!

With that word as a cue, Gentaro turns to the right, and the tracking beast also turns to the right after Gentaro. When Saheiji's machine gun blows fire, and the beast and Takuhi turn into a beehive, Berit enters the conversation.

"From the deputy commander.Drop all the grenades you have. "

"Roger that. Captain, don't hesitate to hit me!

Yes!

Gentaro told Verito to remove the grenade from his waist magic bag and throw it at the rest of the hut.In addition, Gentaro was throwing grenades at the hut, and the gunshots rang as if there were other beasts who flew in.

Eventually, when the gunshots are no longer heard and only the explosions are heard, Berit receives new orders.

"Second lieutenant, they're going to burn it down with Nova Flame and return."

"Roger that. I'll burn it all at once!

So Gentaro lowered his altitude, spit out fire from the mouth of the dragon, burned the surroundings, and went straight to the point of departure, and returned.

On that day, the two largest Air Force strongholds in Saint-Claude were destroyed by the Knights of the Dragons' ambush, and the residents who witnessed the sight felt the annihilation of the Principality of Anthony, and the direction in which the Knights of the Dragons left was reported to the nearby army.

Anton Zinu, the principality's exclusive brave man entrusted with the guarding of the coast, decided to split the army in two because he also had information about the beasts who were following Gentaro from the headland, and sent 500 soldiers as an advance party to the temporary base of the Knights of the Dragons.
