Heavenly Castle

[Castle Fortress City Farbe]

Huge walls that look up and large gates that create a vibrant atmosphere. On the walls was a narrow line of soldiers, with bows in their hands.

Inside the kingdom, Farbe, the fortified city, was so far away that he could reach it in two days if he ran a horse from the king's capital.

The walls surround the entire city, and the city is unnaturally quiet. The streets are full of soldiers and magicians, and no inhabitants are found.

All over such a city, a man in luxurious armor was walking with instructions.

"You're understaffed. Can't we get more soldiers from somewhere?

"General Heilart. There are already 20,000 soldiers, including this border stationed army. Plus, in less than a month's time, we'll be back with more than 20,000 soldiers. Wouldn't it be better if we endured it for a month?

When the old man, looking exhausted, asked so, the man called Hylat shook his neck left and right with a look like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

"Sir Gerp. I know you believe in the defense of this city after all these years of watching this Falbe. Indeed, Falbe will retain the best defense alongside the king's capital"

Heilart, who agreed as he walked, stopped and looked back at a man named Gerp.

"But that would also shake as long as we looked at the empire's prepared armies. No matter how ready you are, it can't be complete. There's no chance in the castle."

"So, why are you gathering soldiers from all over this Falbe...? Isn't it because you're confident you'll protect it all?

As the gel eats down, Hylat narrows his eyes sharply.

"It's for assault, assault, and assault. Other than that, there's no way to live."

"Oh, well, what's that... Ah, General Hylat, talk to me...!

Turning his back on Gerp, who anxiously tried to repeat the question, Heilart walked to the castle gate. Gelp rushes after him, but Hylat didn't look back any more.

[Imperial army]

"General Violet! I got a response from Falbe!

A soldier running through a line of cavalry with a horse and a spear in his hand shouted so at a two-headed carriage with no roof.

On the carriage is a woman who looks mid-twenties with beautiful purple hair wearing silver armor. Looking down at the soldiers with blue eyes, the woman wakes up from her back bigger than her height.

Violet, one of the Imperial Army generals also known as the Purple Princess (Shiki), opened his mouth looking down at the soldiers.

"What kind of response?

That's what they ask in a gentle voice, and the soldier looks up with a tense face.

"Yes! I understand what His Holiness General Violet is supposed to say, but he wants me to confirm whether it is the will of His Majesty the Emperor! Still no idea where the princess is, and the kingdom is searching with all its might!

Violet narrowed her eyes and raised the edge of her mouth as the soldier reported so.

"You're buying clear time. There's no way I need to buy time... so let me attack the castle fort for a few days, from behind? Wouldn't it be in such plain hands? Ideally, you would cut off our supply route, which has been on expedition, but you wouldn't expect Falbe to keep it that long."

Violet sitting back in her chair, bumping and whining alone.

"… do you intend to use the army to an extent that cannot be ignored and to process us into small pieces? If you think about the difference in power, you can't find a winning chance without being so impotent."

Mumbling that far, Violet grins.

"One or eight... That's a tough bet to say. Then you'll be taking other measures."

One of the cavalry opened his mouth as Violet retorted.

"Dear Violet,"

When the cavalry calls on Violet's name, Violet looks up and nods.

"I dare you to divide the army into three parts. Let's attack Falbe for one, and King's Capital for one. It's a forceful attack that has made us say things to the difference in force, but it will be the best harassment for the Atool kingdom that we don't have enough hands"

"I see. How do you divide it?

"Falbe needs to attack as soon as possible. All you have to do is show Wang Du a lot of soldiers to protect him. 50,000 each, therefore. I move freely and vigilantly, so let's split the Golem in half to Falbe and the King's Capital."

"But then the sorcerer will almost pay for it. Don't you also need a magician for Lord Violet's main unit...?

As the cavalry asked, Violet turned her palm upwards with a fierce grin.

Make a bow and a blue-purple flame appears in the universe. The cavalry breathes in Violet lit by flames.

"... you have me, don't you?

When Violet told him so, the cavalry snorted deeply with a dry laugh.

"Excuse me..."

When the cavalry said so, he gently looked behind Violet's carriage.

After the carriage was followed by a black giant emitting a dull light characteristic of metal.
