We've been coming to Leitaki for three months. Finally, the tracks of the Magic Train opened so far.
When a magic train enters the town, the townspeople raise their hands and welcome it.
A prepared flower blizzard was sprinkled from the roof of the station building, and as a ceremony the princess was giving a speech on the altar temporarily set in the station building.
"The Magic Train is not inherently a weapon for war. It is there to carry you, to carry things, to make the economy of this country better. But now in front of us, there is a mighty enemy. Yes, it's the Obard Empire. Many of you will know that fear. Earlier in the fight, we lost a lot of wealth, land, and family. This tragedy must not be repeated. That's why I dare to use the Magic Train for war! In order not to repeat this tragedy, not to wage war within this country, the tracks of the Magic Train will stretch to the buffer zone. Beyond that, we build new fortifications and protect this country from the threat of Obard as a new wall that protects us."
People were enthusiastic about the princess's speech.
The way a luxurious looking princess saddens the war and loses her father, but desperately stands up and tries to remove that threat, will attract the audience.
Probably, the princess is doing that much calculation.
And when the speech was over, the princess came back to us.
"Good luck. Nice speech."
"There's nothing good about speeches that drive people to war. Everywhere you go, you end up only ordering people to kill."
The princess went from the serious look on her face earlier to being cooled as soon as possible, returning to a room in the station building prepared for waiting.
When I followed him into the room, too, the princess sat down on the sofa like she was tired.
When the side tea is prepared immediately and placed in front of the princess, she enjoys its scent so as to lift the teacup and soothe her fatigue.
Looks like you're tired.
"Well, it was quite a mess with the formation of troops for this future buffer zone and liaison with Wang Du."
After the raid during the Magic Train inspection, there seemed to be a lot of trouble in the Wang capital by letter of the princess. Everything, it seems that some of the large chambers of commerce had the idea of using the repaired abnomulet as a personal escort, which made it quite difficult to coordinate with the area.
As a result, civilian possession of the abnomulet was banned, and instead it was hand-held by lending magic vehicles and discounting magic liquids (Magia Liquid), he said.
Since then, the princess has been very busy producing orders on the disposal of the abnomulet on each side as military superintendent, or directives to recover or destroy the remains of the abnomulet as it is currently dumped.
In the meantime, it's today's ceremony. You can't be tired.
"Why don't you get some rest?
"Well, when was my next turn?
One side answers the princess's question.
"Next up is a nightclub with the managed aristocrats of Jakarta, which will take place at night. Until then, nothing."
"Then you're going to have a little time. Let me rest, my knight will be free to move. Why don't you and Angus have a little fun?
"That can't be the reason, there are several letters coming to me from Wang Du, too, so I need to write a reply to that"
While the princess was interacting with Wang Du, I was also exchanging letters with Mr. Oreil, who is in Wang Du. The main contents are questions about the new equipment and around the cockpit.
I'm gonna make it look like this, but what do you say? Or do you have this armed here? Something like that. Plus, it's something I've come up with later, so I'm having quite a few letters exchanged.
"Sometimes if you don't play for him, he'll hate you, won't he?
"It's okay. I serve you every night."
Thanks to the lack of combat, I've had plenty of strength lately. I didn't forget to serve my wife. Well, it could also be a service to me.
Couples enjoy it, so it's not a problem. Yeah, no problem.
"Yes, yes, by being hot. Good night, then."
"Yes, I'll pick you up again at night"
The princess left the room and I headed to Armunale Squad Command in Leitarki to do my job.
◇
Obard Imperial Capital. In one of the castles inhabited by the emperor, the meeting was taking place.
In attendance are Emperor Gandroyce and his vicinity. And five men, one, three, four, five and seven, knights of the Eight General and currently in the Imperial capital, as well as the commanders of the Armunale Corps and the Army.
They were urgently summoned by the Emperor by a report delivered to the Empire today.
"Well, there's nothing else I've had you gathered for an emergency convocation. Faithal, who is currently at war with our country, is apparently making an interesting move"
When Gandroyce says so, he distributes the material nearby.
The commander-in-chief who sees it kills me in Russia.
"Is it fortification in the buffer zone? You're thinking a lot about licking it."
"Scratch our attack and build a fort? Are they stupid? In the first place, you won't even be able to carry supplies"
"No, it would be possible if this thing called the Magic Train. I use it in the south even in my country, but I didn't expect it to be deployed in action all of a sudden. I don't know what's scary."
Similar objects had already been put into practical use in Obard, as in the case of the Devil's Guide train developed in Faital. Having said that, it is now a land not very related to war, to the extent that it is confined to experimental operations. We are planning to wash out the problem here and deploy the improvements throughout the country.
"That would mean they're all cornered. But I'm pretty sure this one's being pushed back because of it."
To the word of the emperor, the commanders shut their mouths.
Even though it was a little further to the King's Capital of Faithal once, it was now pushed back to the first border zone. This is, obviously, a military breakdown.
The emperor continues his words while showing it in the dark.
"What, I'm not blaming you guys. Looks like there's a couple of annoying guys over there."
"On each line, you were deployed a former Kingsguard. I just..."
"Dennis Ejit. Jean Laurent"
The name was answered by Jan Velta Rionel of the Knight of the Eight.
Twenty-three are still the youngest of those attending the meeting, but because of their talent, they are geniuses promoted to the Knight of the Eighth General.
And as follows, Danies Dora Orelian, the third seat of the Knight of the Eight, raises another name.
"And Eldo. It seems to be called a ship's arm among the mercenaries."
"I don't care about anything. The problem is, he's killing Kansas, even though he's talking about it."
"Erdo himself has been confirmed in other towns, so it's going to be practically Kansas torn form."
"Speaking of last seats, you're the one who killed Kansas, right? Try killing each other."
"Well, then it's just fine"
"Hmm? What do you mean, Your Majesty"
Jan tilts her neck at the word of the emperor.
"Feital seems to be planning to build a fort with the boar silade. And there's information in there that two knights, Dennis and Eldo, are deployed. Jan, you go."
Receiving that life, there is a vicious grin on Jan's face.
"How far can I go?
"Thoroughly. Destroy the enemy."
"Copy that. It's gonna be fun."
"And Danies. You go to boar trade, too. Destroy the enemy with Jan."
The whole conference room flaunts the words the emperor continues to unleash.
Danies asked the Emperor with a slightly puzzled look.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, are we to deploy two Knights of the Eight? In excessive force? I think Jan alone is enough."
"Excessive may be. I don't mind if they think I'm evaluating the enemy. He who took my minister Kansas. No shards of mercy left, thoroughly shredded."
"Yes, sir."
The dispatch of the two eight-general knights is decided and the concomitant restructuring of the troops is considered.
Almunale, the number of abnomules, the location of the clash, the timing of the launch of the avilla bomb, they were decided, and the meeting ended.
Three days from the meeting. A major exit parade was taking place in the Imperial City.
Two of the Knights of the Eight naturally walk at the head of it.
One is Daniels' fuselage, with a huge lance and a great deal. And the other is Yang's fuselage, shielded by two swords and bracketed by several knives on his legs.
There naturally stood two people on the shoulders of the two aircraft, who had been enthusiastically cheered by the people of the Imperial capital.
But the two of us weren't that keen on this parade.
"Ha, it's a pain in the ass. I wish I'd just left."
"I don't have a choice. His Majesty was worried that the atmosphere of the Empire itself was slightly depressed by the death of Kansas. If the two of us leave, and that can heal at all, we've never been over it. However, I have no objection to saying it's a hassle."
While waving to the people, Daniels also zeroes his stupidity.
Such is followed by three additional Armunales and three units of Abnomulet.
From previous data, it was found that the units of thirty Abnomules were the most efficient to operate for one Almunale aircraft, so this combination was gradually becoming fundamental in Overdo.
"What are we going to do with the troops behind this? You're just in the way."
"Just right for an exposure. Besides, we have to retrieve the pilot from Avila Bomb. You can leave them with the basic chores."
"Is that true, too? But I'm still not convinced you're going to march slower. Can't we just go first?"
"Where are the superiors leaving the troops? If you stand on top, take a lot of responsibility."
"Yes, sir. I don't know how."
Zeroing each other's stupidity, we go through the gates of the Empire City. So they boarded the cockpit and started marching towards the boards.
◇
"Hmm, signs of war, you're approaching"
boar silade. In one of the inns in the town, Forze seems happy to zero that.
It was Leila sitting right next to me who heard that.
"I wonder where you feel that unintelligible conjecture."
"There are signs of people, the atmosphere, the color of the sky, the smell of the air, there are lots of ways to feel it. I guess it's time for reinforcements to leave from the Empire City, and I guess they're overflowing with emotions."
"Do you even see such distant emotions?
"No way, you just can't see that far. But somehow I feel it."
Forze takes a big, deep breath to dampen his excitement while holding his own chest.
"Blood flows. People's emotions will explode and the battlefield will be filled with beautiful light. Oh, I wonder what kind of light you see this time."
"Well, keep it that way."
Layla gives up forgiving Forze and reaches for the teacup.
Further next door, Lisette, who had joined the Elshald mercenary regiment, looked up.
"Hey, Leila. I've always thought he was crazy, but, Forze, have you gotten any worse lately?
"Really? When I was there, it was already like that."
"Really? When I first met him, he did like to kill each other, but he wasn't that excited."
"Really? What do you think, Captain?"
"Is that where you're going to find me?"
Leila asks Elshald, who was listening to the pilots' conversation as they tilted the glass at another table.
Elshald handles his own memories, even though he makes them a little troublesome.
"Sure, you've been crazy so far lately. No, did you have any signs from around the time you met the ship's arm?
"To Eldo?
"Arm..."
The name goes up, Leila turns her eyes round and surprises, and Lisette's expression gets harsher.
"We first met almost six years ago, but maybe since then."
"Six years ago, why are we meeting at that time? You said Eldo was from the border countryside.
"You haven't heard? No, there's no way I can tell you."
And Elshald, six years ago. I heard the information that there was an Armunale on the site of the North-South commotion, and I let the two of them know when I went looking for it.
"That's what happened... Eldo's been unscrupulous since then"
"It's impossible. I can't believe I fixed it myself and discussed it with that kid on my first drive."
"Seems like we've fought a few times since then, but every time I do, I feel like the screws are coming off"
"So Forze is one of those people who's been influenced by Eldo."
"Is Leila under any influence?
"Well, I guess so. I've been taught maneuvering techniques and everything, and you must be under the influence. It was completely different."
Remembering the time of the Academy, Leila felt her cheeks loose.
Something happened, but it was still fun for the four of us to compete back then. Then the road was divided, but it remains firm as a memory.
But that's not why I'm bringing personal feelings into the fight.
For your own ends, if you are an enemy, beat them up relentlessly.
With that readiness in her chest, Leila looks up at the sky from the window.
More and more the sky felt as though it was implying a battle, though not a forte.
