"You have to be ready"

Leongando Ray-Gandia opened her mouth to break the silence full of the room.

January 29th. Abad Assault Army, the guerrillas are joining Fort Waydrid, two days have passed. Outside the window, the sun is starting to set so fast that I can't help but feel the speed of the flow of time. From all army rendezvous to here, he was busily killed by work so that he could be driven up to Setuna.

It is the hard part of Setsuna that we have to do the work of the SS chief and the work of the collar uncle. Of course, I hope the deputy captain and assistant captain will help me with Captain Lion's Tail, and leave the bulk of the work of the collar uncle to Governor Gordon-Fenec. Still, when I thought about the future, I also wondered if I should do my job with my own hands.

In doing so, a military debate was opened. It's about the giant ghost that appeared in the linendahl. From the mouths of Abad army commanders Sheila Lewe-Abbard and Salius Ley-Meredo, the survivors from Linendahl, an open military conference to make them talk about the reality of the giant ghost revealed the overwhelming attack power, range of the giant ghost, and the military debate became temporarily noisy. That attack capability should be known by extrapolation, because Abad's army, which should have retreated and taken a distance, was devastated by the attack of the giant ghost. In fact, Abad's army, which reached Waydrid, had fallen sharply compared to before the war. Even if it's not so much about halving, there's no doubt that many generals have died.

Giant ghosts are becoming more and more incapable of being left alone. Leaving aside the presence of different worlds that boast an overwhelming ability to attack, the vicinity of Linendaar may turn into scorched earth. You can also create destruction that will dramatically alter the terrain just by waving your fists down and carrying out super long range artillery fire. It could be more dangerous than Zalwarn's dragon.

As with the dragon, the only good news may be that the lower body is buried in the big hole in the linendahl and won't get out easily. Most importantly, there's no chance of getting out of the hole like a dragon, and that's why we shouldn't let it go.

"In fighting the ghosts of Linendall, are you?

Setsuna asked Leongand. Besides, I can't even imagine the need to be prepared.

"No, just a little further."

Leongando comes to light. Only Leongando and Setsuna are indoors that are never huge. There's no Arya either. Her psychic powers did not work for Setuna. So maybe I'm not on this spot. Arya seems extremely reluctant to be seen with herself in a state that is disappearing from the perception of others. Therefore Setuna is hostile to her and is about to be killed. Setsuna doesn't have anything to do with Arya, but sometimes she doesn't like it unconsciously.

(A little further...)

Leongand stands by the window. When I looked at his back, I could even see the sight of Waydrid illuminated by the sunset beyond the window. Fort Waydrid was large enough to accommodate all Allied soldiers. It means it's great for use as a base, but it's not always a good place to stay.

If it's not a short-term showdown, there will be no winning, says Nares-Ragnahorn. If it's going to be a protracted war, this is the one that's going to be exhausted. If the Demon King is able to summon the Imperial Demon inexhaustibly, it is only natural that this one, with limited strength and power, will do its best first.

"Prepare to take on the Demon King..."

Crushed.

Defeat the Demon King. That was the purpose of this war. It is only by following mankind's natural enemies, the Imperial Demon, who sprinkles terror on his neighbours that the great cause he set forth to start the war is defeated. Without justice, it is difficult to wage war, he said. Because it involves the morale and the will of the soldiers.

"... the Demon King can't discuss it"

"What do you mean"

"The Demon King was an imbecile. You know, like Arya and Ur and Illis, he was a psychic developed by a foreign law firm."

"Oh no...!

Stuck words in shocking facts. That's something I never imagined. I couldn't think of anything in Setuna's naive brains, such as the ability to serve tens of thousands of Imperial Demons was artificially generated.

"Yubel's real name is Ellen, he said. Arya's been watching, so I'm pretty sure. Arya was ordered to assassinate the demon king. If you kill even the Demon King, the Allied victory in this war will not waver - everyone thinks so. That's why I also allowed the assassination. It didn't seem like a war of righteousness, but there was no choice."

It weighs heavily on the cause set forth, and nothing more than a fall in the end, such as meditating on the sacrifice of an ally, Leongand continued.

Justice and righteousness are very important in waging war. If you can't convince the generals to risk their lives to fight, you won't win a battle you can win either. Great righteousness for that. Justice for that. Even if that was a clear lie, I wish there was just enough reason for the soldiers to be able to deceive their hearts through. Even if it was obvious that it was a war of aggression, we can fight because we believe we have justice. I can jump into a dead place. If you're not convinced, you won't have the courage.

"But no assassination was decided. Arya found out. What's waiting for us when we kill the Demon King?"

He put in, like, a little while. When you breathe, spin the words quietly.

"If the Demon King is using the Imperial Demon by his powers, what do you think will happen if he asks for the Demon King?

"Doesn't the Imperial Devil just free himself from domination?

"Right. Exactly. But can you imagine what will happen when all the emperor demons full of this land are freed from domination at the same time? The Imperial Demon is the natural enemy of mankind. The Imperial Demons, when they see humans, can't help but kill them. You can call it a curse. In that case, at least many people living in Kruselk will die. Of course, there's no way we're safe either. Even if we can destroy the Imperial Devil, what we lose is too great."

Even if we were able to exterminate the Imperial Devil and calm down the Kruselk territory, it is not unlikely that both the city and one have been lost. Gandia is not at war just to expand its territory. It makes no sense if only the territory is spread, if it is not accompanied by its contents. Maintaining territory is not easy either. It seems the Leongans are genuine that the human resources of the enemy countries want to be available intact as much as they can.

"So what do you do?

Asking, Setuna felt uneasy as though she was the only one called to the occasion. What does it mean to be prepared? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with not discussing the Demon King, but it's like I can't read Leongand's thoughts.

"Nares is going to use Ur. Using Ur to rule the demon king who rules the demon."

"If it goes well, it will fit everything round..."

Setsuna thought so. Ur has complete control of that lancaine. If the Demon King can also rule, there can be no doubt about the Allied victory.

"Right. If you can rule the Demon King, you can let the Demon King dismantle the army of the Imperial Demon. Besides, if we use it well, we may be able to target the Imperial Demon of our own territory to avoid attacking humans. Impossible to use the Imperial Devil."

"What happens if you serve the Imperial Devil?

"Lyohan turns to the enemy. And perhaps, when that happens, Lyohan will try to destroy Gandia. If Lyohan mobilized all his forces, no matter how much power he gained from the Demon King and the Imperial Demon, he would not be hostile. It's the same thing that turns the Continental Summoners Association itself against the enemy."

The coalition relies on the armed summoners of the Association for the bulk of its power. Without the armed summoners, you can't go on the outrage of fighting a large group of Imperial Demons. Had it not been for the help of Lyohan, would it not have stood in the way of a total war with Kruselk? Even if we fought, we would not have adopted bold and dangerous measures that would draw enemy forces into our own territory.

The war scene would have changed dramatically. It is also suspicious whether it could have been eaten in this way near the centre of Kruselk. Setsuna, where you fought like spitting blood all by yourself, there's no way you can defeat 60,000 Imperial Demons.

That would be the same thing if you turned Lyohan against the enemy. Where one Setuna had a black spear and he exhaled pneumonia, he had to be silenced before the overwhelming mass.

"Of course, not wanting to turn Lyohan against the enemy is a direct cause. It's more of a root cause. There is no more horrible being to man on this continent than the Imperial Demon. It would be a devastating Great War waiting for us to be able to use such a thing to unify a small group of nations. The equilibrium has collapsed, and it is visible that the three major forces will move. No, it would move before unifying the group of small nations. I would."

If you follow the Imperial Devil and come out with a country that embarks on the reunification of a group of small continental states, you have reason to know that the three major forces will move. The Imperial Devil has mighty power. No human being has the same power. With a summoning weapon, we can finally fight more than just each other. It would also appear a threat to the three major forces that govern the continent's breadth, such as a country that can treat such monsters as pawns near inexhaustible. No wonder they moved to crush it, when small groups of nations disappear from history.

And that's the same thing, even if Kruselk showed signs of small group unification. Maybe the need to crush Kruselk is there too. If Kruselk pushes any further towards a policy of territorial expansion, it could stimulate the three major forces.

If the three major forces set in motion, Leongand's dream will end.

(And my dreams)

Setuna held her fist. I have no dreams of living in another world. Dreaming is also ridiculous if you can poke at the reality that you can't go back to the original world. It became Setuna's dream to fulfill her master's dream.

Overlaying one's thoughts on the dreams of others should never be a bad thing.
