Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

In a town surrounded by darkness, VDS shooting sounds intermittently. The people of the town who were about to fall asleep took the form of being knocked up each time, and they all seemed wary of when their homes would be attacked.

People in such towns, in fact, had no idea of the existence and purpose of VDS. Naturally. It hasn't been long since we installed it. As far as they're concerned, I must have just thought that the VDS wasn't protecting us from what we were doing, but that the attack was flying from nowhere and trying to harm us about ourselves.

Mhhhhhh!

Dogashah!!

And another house, the dwelling turns to ruins. At that time, citizens who stumble upon the rain of light falling from the sky slip their hips and enter the spot…. And he shouted with a trembling voice.

"It's Ecleria...! The Ecclerians are back!

The voice propagated all over town, even though it was late at night.... the men of Eccleria came and began to destroy the house indiscriminately. He started targeting citizens without targeting soldiers. Ask the Resistances for help...

"... no ~. I didn't expect this to happen ~. But this is a good opportunity. Let the people of Eccleria take the depression of their citizens for some time now."

"... right"

Listening to the voices of the townspeople heard from outside the Lords' Hall, Argus, who led the forces of the Mid-Eden Boreas coalition, had an indescribably intricate look on his face. He felt sorry and his conscience was hurt because he knew the truth about the cause of the house's destruction.

For Cortex, on the other hand, it seemed only trivial, such as the stirring in the city. The VDS is not shooting at the Boreas, they are attacking the Eclerians. Besides, you can clean up all the damage caused by the firing as the work of the Ecclesiaans, so you must have even thanked the Ecclesiaans, instead of having any trouble for Cortex.

To her like that --,

"Um, Master Cortex?

--Yuki is coming. At first glance, she was just dressed like a town daughter and looked disproportionate on the battlefield. But that doesn't mean she doesn't need to be armed and doesn't intend to fight.

In fact, when she came to Cortex's side, she mouthed this suggestion.

"This is the only attack we've had since we installed VDS. For this minute, it is believed that there is already a significant amount of Ecclerian intersex in town, but shouldn't we look around?

Even during the day, in fact, a significant number of Ecclerian soldiers have been transferred to the town, perhaps already lurking...... As for Yuki, who could not deny the possibility, he was not worried that the lurking Eclerians would do any harm to the people of the town.

The opposing Cortex shook its neck sideways without stopping its hand investigating the metastatic magic formation.

"Unfortunately, there's no way to identify who's from Ecleria. If we install VDS in all the towns in this way, we can prevent their transfer, so hopefully they will give up the invasion one of these days, but at this stage, we risk ending up in vain if we move aggressively from this side. Do you have any good ideas on that ~?

"... using a magical creature for confessions made by Dr. Catalina --"

"That's right, there's only an empress who has reigned in this country for years, and I say thats outrageous ~? However, the array is still a precarious substitute for the experimental phase. Using it on innocent ordinary citizens can just break your spirit, or it can cause irreversible damage to your brain. Rejected."

"But otherwise..."

Yuki couldn't think of a way to do anything. It is unlikely that even if we capture every human in town and interrogate them, it doesn't make sense if they lie to us and torture everyone. Because it's impossible, she suggested an even more improbable way of using magical creatures, but not so much at the moment in an octagonal clog...... The only thing I could think of was to be frightened by the counter-attacks of the invisible Ecclerians.

To her like that, Cortex says.

"It's too early to give up ~? Don't we have reliable allies ~"

"A reliable ally......?

"... they don't think you're reliable, or are you completely forgotten ~... In any case, shouldn't you be re-appealing something called your position ~?... Sage ~?

and Cortex, with his gaze at hand, speaks to the person who was behind Yuki. There's the figure of Nicole, the shadowy sage who was accompanying Yuki--,

"... Huh. You're gonna tell me (I can't think of a good idea at all...!)" Amulet

—— He shivered with an invincible grin, samurai (?) It seems that he was. Apparently, coming here, the rich knowledge of the wise is going to blow the fire.... for better or worse.
