Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode Two Thousand Twenty-five: Hope and Despair (I)

The Ark is aiming for the Western Zaion Empire Territory all the way.

Originally planned to have the Melissa Noah lead the way by sea, but after discussions with General Rigford because a map showing the current state of the world was found from the records that were kept in the Ark, the Setunas will be ahead on the Ark and are now moving significantly away from the Melissa Noah to the mainland of the Empire.

General Rigford, who directs the Melissa Noah, rejoiced at Setuna's proposal, preceded by the Ark, and provided us with a nautical chart created independently by the Imperial Navy. Setuna and the others were able to identify the coordinates of the Western Zaion Empire by matching its nautical chart with the map in the ark. As long as we know where we are, all we have to do is get on the ark and get ahead of ourselves.

It was no exaggeration to say that, unlike sea routes, which are often beyond one's control, such as ocean currents and weather, there is no obstacle whatsoever in the air. At the very least, there is no way that the Ark, protected by the power of the Mayuri God, will succumb to a natural phenomenon, and it will pass without any problems, even if it enters the storm zone. God's power is great, and it is not so that the ark, which has greatly benefited from it, sinks.

A large hole was holed in the canopy of the Ark by the attack of Kenan Yousnal and others, but it is also being repaired during the structural reform of the Mayuri God. Because of the use of members inside the hull, it would be better if the holes were left empty. The lid is meant to protect the passengers on deck from windstorms and enemy attacks. If there's a hole, it could be attacked from there.

Most of all, it's a little hard to think that there are enemies of the Setunas on the Ark's path.

The Ark had sometimes ceased to require the lead of the Melissa Noah, further increasing its flight altitude. It was high enough to look down into the cloud sea, and it was also difficult to confirm the ark from the ground. Those who attack an ark going up at such high altitudes are not what they are.

In the first place, is there something in this world that we can call the enemies of Setuna?

The Divine Army is an enemy from Setuna.

However, it was unclear whether the Divine Army recognized Setuna as an enemy, and as it did, it is difficult to assume that it had any idea of the location of the ark on the move. There is no chance that the inside of the Ark is sending out a special signal and that the Divine Army is capturing it, but as far as Mayuri God knows, he says he can't see such a thing.

'I guarantee the safety of the Ark. It's up to you to trust me.'

How reliable and comforting is the proud word of Mayuri God.

In those days Setuna had come to recognize that the Mayuri God and the Mayura God were beings of a completely different will. Unlike the Mayura God, who tried to harm Setsuna, the Mayuri God, as he put it, is only wielding his power to fulfill the hopes of Setsuna and the others. That, too, is what Setuna and the others are doing, putting their hands to pieces and shattering their hearts. What do you mean you don't trust this and trust?

Regardless, the Mayuri God himself says that he is not going to relieve the alarm of the Mayura God, and that it is not necessary. The Mayuri God does not acknowledge the idea of the Mayura God, who keeps sleeping behind his back, and therefore calls on the Setunas to be vigilant. From that point of view, the Mayuri God is a trustworthy God, and we see a consensus among the Setunas.

It is Miliu who deals with such a Mayuri God in an extremely shattered manner, followed by Elina. No, Miliu and Mayuri. The gods were so close to each other that they called each other nicknames, and Setsuna and the others, who were worried about whether God's treatment was okay with that, were also ridiculous. Mayuri God seemed more pleased to be able to touch each other like a close friend than to be honored as God.

The early lifting of the alert to the Mayuri God is also affecting that. When you come across a scene where Miliu or Elina are friends with the Mayuri God, it also makes you vain to doubt the Mayuri God. Mayuri God seemed to sincerely enjoy interacting with the Milius, and as long as he watched as that was the case, it conveys that there is no such thing as malice in that goddess.

But every time I recognized the existence of the Mayura God who sleeps behind it, it was hard to be wary of bringing my head.

The ark was going well.

Far above, there was nothing to interrupt the path of the ark, and everyone thought this was exactly what smooth sailing was all about.

The Ark carrying the Setunas aims to be in the imperial capital of the Western Zaion Empire. The position of the imperial capital has also been found by matching it with a nautical chart, and the ark is advancing in the sky towards its coordinates. And that imperial capital existed on the map, a land described as the Southern Zaion continent, far southeast of the Northern Vashtarian continent and seemingly a few minutes beyond the northern Vashtarian continent.

That's a long way off. Even if we go down the ocean, we'll need a few months. In that sense, there was nothing more than good fortune in getting the ark and getting the pilot, and that felt the same way about Rigford and other Imperial servicemen.

The Western Zaion Empire sought power abroad to fight the opposing Eastern Zaion Empire. It would be the right decision to seek forces outside the country than it is the mountains of Seoul to rally and antagonize domestic forces. Regardless, there is no way the Western Empire is not using tactics or strategies. Still, I guess I couldn't help it. Therefore, a new breeze was sought outside the country.

It was only a last resort that we sought power out of the country. Fleet dispatch for that purpose. Running from the Viceroy for it. And it is an undesirable thing for the Western Empire to have been able to negotiate with Setuna, and it is inexorable that Nina and the others were pleased to have achieved no more.

Anyway, they Western Zaion Empire wanted Setuna's arrival on the Empire mainland as soon as possible. That is why Rigford heartily rejoiced at the suggestion that the Ark would precede him and entrusted him with a nautical chart. Setuna had a strong feeling that they had to live up to their expectations.

They have tremendous benevolence.

Because they had brought the means to cross the sea, Sethuna was able to defend the Phalia and reunite in time for the battle of Lyohan. If we kept looking for a means of crossing in Benoa like that, Setuna would not have made it to the Second Defense War and Lyohan might have fallen into the hands of the Divine Army.

The Phalia and the others, if they listened to the story, were also motivated by Russia. They will be genuine that the Zaion Empire itself has only a bad impression, but they will be willing to lend their strength if they learn that Lyohan was safe and that it was thanks to the meals of the Western Zaion Empire that they were able to reunite beautifully with Setuna.

The Ark, go the sky.

From the southern tip of the northern Vashtarian continent to the southeast.

Just push on without anyone interrupting you over the blue, clear sky and without being bound by anything. Slowly, without stopping.

Nevertheless, Setuna and the others have heard from the Mayuri God that its flight speed means that it is unlikely to be the full speed of the Ark, and that the maximum speed might have allowed them to reach their destination very quickly.

Mayuri God does not attempt to increase the speed of the Ark's flight by more than a certain amount because the operation of the Ark is so unstable that it makes no sense to break it because it is too unscrupulous. The Ark is an airship built by unknown technology. Even with the work of Mayuri God, all that can be done is to modify the interior and repair damaged parts, and if there is an abnormality in the power system, there is no way to apply the hand.

"Well, I wish I could float then."

But then the goddess clapped her shoulders that it was the end of the fall.

The greater burden of the Mayuri God was neither as Setuna nor as they wished, and the speed of flight was left to the Goddess as she wished.

We're in a hurry, but we're planning to get there much faster than we can by boat. Nothing needs to rush up speed and strain the ship.

Setuna and the others decided to spend the time thus brought to accustom themselves to life in the Ark.

The Ark is always floating in the sky. Power is God's power, and there is no need to replenish it somewhere more than close to inexhaustibility. There was no reason to stop in some city for a while, either in terms of supplies, because they were loaded in large quantities in Lyohan and also bought in on Areutheras. I mean, you'll be on the sky all the time.

Life on the sky is just a little different from life on earth.

It would take me a while to get used to it, and in that sense, I didn't mind the slow speed of the flight. Besides, we keep flying at four or six o'clock, without stopping, so you can assume how much faster it is than going ashore or at sea at the latest. Both land and sea routes have to pinch breaks and supplies somewhere. In that regard, the need for it to continue flying in the power of God was faint, and even in that sense the ark's existential value was said to be extremely great.

Setuna and the others gave their thoughts to the mainland of the Zaion Empire, thanking the Ark and the Mayuri God who moves it daily.
