In the midst of a sweep by the Parabellan army against the Imperial Army within the Demonic Union, a certain figure was in the dark behind the scenes.

-Concon.

"... in"

- Gachari.

"Excuse me. I brought you the results of an example survey."

Only the crisp and ballpoint pen moving noise enters the room with a soldier who was able to carry a report inside that room that was sounding quietly.

"... what are the results?

Until his body and mind were in a piece of his soul, the person, who was making repeated leaps on the back stage for the Lord who was devoting everything, said to the thrower without a glance at his men, who came into the room processing one document at a tremendous speed, which was piled up on his desk.

"Ha, it turned out, but it was still black as the Vice Führer was staring. In the kingdom, it begins with banned magic drugs, drug distribution and trafficking, and the more illegal human trafficking, bribery, etc., the more dust it produces."

"Right...... Then keep investigating at that rate. To make that plan come true."

"Ha, got it."

Hearing her subordinates reply, she smiles darkly and has a chilly voice, and she, the lord of this room, says - a thousand years old.

It's all for your husband.

"For the Führer."

When the soldiers of my men also said so to match the words of a thousand years old, they finally pinned their spines and saluted them and left the room.

"Excuse me."

Along with the words, another new man enters the room of a thousand years old, misplaced with his earlier men.

"What can I do for you?

Thousand years old said without taking a moment's eye off the paperwork, just as he did with his earlier men.

I didn't seem to just care that my men were the usual for such a thousand-year-old appearance, and stated that only matters to be briefly reported were slurred.

"Ha, it turns out the destination of the people and demons who were imprisoned and taken by the Imperial Army within the Demonic Union, which the Vice Führer had previously been told to look into"

"Where?

"It is an ancient castle in the woods without return of the Elsas magical empire territory. There is also unconfirmed information that human experiments and weapons development are taking place in that ancient castle."

"... Have you told your husband this story yet?

For the first time here, a thousand years old stops his hand and slowly looks up at his men.

"No, I haven't told you yet..."

Then don't tell your husband about it.

"Ha, but..."

Thousands of years old told me to assure my men before telling them not to raise their reports and showing confusion.

"If you tell your husband about this, he will be happy to enter the scene himself. I'll take care of it."

"... Got it. So here's a report with the information we know at this stage."

My men, who just nodded that I was convinced, left a report and left the room. A thousand years later, I dug out the phone that was buried in the paperwork and contacted my immediate special forces.

――――――――――――

The Black Phantom (Black Ghost), a special unit that had been contacted since the age of a thousand and had been called up for an emergency, had gathered in one of the outpost's command rooms for briefings.

"All right, guys, you're all set. I'll give you an overview of the operation."

Captain Black Phantom, Major Glenn said so and pushed the projector's switch.

"This is the target for this one. An ancient castle in the woods without return of the Elsas magical empire territory. Unconfirmed, but it seems that human beings and demonic tribes imprisoned and taken within weapons development and demonic coalitions here are undergoing human experiments. The enemy's strength and personnel are estimated to be about 2,000 to 3,000, depending on the size of the castle. Fortunately, there are no magic weapons or automatic puppets."

Glenn continued, fingering one satellite photograph after another showing from the projector with a report labeled top secret sent from a thousand years old at Dales base.

"The main objective of this operation is to establish what is being done in this ancient castle and, if there are any new weapons under development, to destroy them. It should be noted that this operation has become a top-secret operation to be decided at the discretion of His Excellency Vice-President Chitose. Keep that in mind. That's it, any questions?

Several soldiers raised their hands softly to questions from Major Glenn.

"How do you dive into the old castle?

"Using an aircraft and entering through an airborne descent from the sky"

"Do you take prisoners?

"There's one or two of us even if we take it. Eliminate everything else. Anything else? If not, we'll be out in three hours. That's it!!

"" "Understood" "

With Major Glenn's hanging voice, his men rose and saluted, leaving the room.

Altitude 4,000 meters.

Under sparkling stars in the night sky, two MC-130H Combat Talon II (C-130 Tactical Transporter's Special Forces Supported Transporter Model) planes, which even turned off anti-collision lights, were blending in and flying at night.

"Ten minutes before descent!!

The engine sounded like a goose, rattling, swinging up, down, left, and right. The cargo compartment in the plane was dressed in a white skeleton eye-catcher, and Black Phantom's crew, dressed in black and unified gear, were ready to carry their weapons and gear and descend steadily.

"Five minutes before descent!!

The color of the red light that was next to the rear hatch changed to blue as the crew finished the final check of the equipment and waited, and the rear hatch opened with a heavy sound, and the view and wind collapsed into the cargo compartment.

"We arrive over the descent point!! Start descending!! Good luck!!

When the crew silently nodded to the words of the MC-130H crew, who shouted loudly to beat the sound of the engine and the blazing storm, they rushed out toward the rear hatch simultaneously, one after the other into the darkness dominated sky.

And Black Phantom's crew, a total of 60 parachutes, flying out of two MC-130Hs, will blossom safely in the air, infiltrating enemy forces without missing a single one.

――――――――――――

"- Ahhh!!

"Hih!?

"Hey, come on, get used to it. It's the usual."

Late at night, a soldier by the name of Rogers, who had just recently been assigned here to a hairy scream heard from the laboratory that was supposed to be deep beneath the ancient castle while it was lit by the light of pine lights and magic fixtures on an ancient castle lookout in the woods without the return of the Elsas magical empire realm, was shaking and frightened.

"Shit, you shouldn't be!! I'm not used to it. I'm not used to it!!

"Huh. You don't have to get used to it. You're too freaked out."

It was time for Ares, assigned here at the same time as Rogers, to turn away his face and sigh mixed with his frightened partner Vibili next door.

"Mostly - Hih!! Ahhh... ahhh, ghhh"

"Hmm? Oh, hey!! What's up!? Are you all right!?

When I heard Rogers' strange, as if a frog had crumbled, and Ares looked back at Rogers, there was Rogers falling to the ground, who was blowing bubbles and wetting his groin and fainting.

"Hey!? What the hell is wrong with you!?

As Ares rushed over to Rogers to shake Rogers' body and punch him in the cheek with a flat hand to wake him up, he felt some sign behind him.

……………… Muggo!? M ~!? Huh!! "

As soon as Ares tried to look back behind her fears, Ares was blocked in the mouth and feathered. Soon Ares slammed his hands and legs, trying to pull back, but at that moment, his throat was slit with every vocal cord.

Ales, who bled from his wound and lay quietly on the watchtower, could not even groan, but merely looked at himself as if he were going to eat himself in.

"Huh!! Huh!!"

What is visible in Ares' rapidly blurring horizons was something of a person-type who also stuck a knife through his partner Rogers' throat and killed him.

Me, uhh... Yikes, meh

And Ares called himself a ghost and something stuck a knife to Rogers and went to permanent sleep.

――――――――――――

"Delta to Alpha. Eliminate two enemy soldiers who were on the lookout. No Enemy Shadows Around, All Clear '

"Alpha, copy, move on. Let's go."

Having successfully broken into the ancient castle, Black Phantom's crew broke through the windows with special equipment and broke into the castle like quietly flowing water when they killed the guard soldiers who were outside the castle one after the other without sound.

Easier to break into the castle thanks to a more monstrous security posture than expected, each Black Phantom team immediately spreads out and begins to examine every room present in the castle.

... crazy, too quiet.

But Captain Narise, commander-in-chief of the four teams (15 per team) of Black Phantom's Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta and captain of the Alpha team who took part in this operation, twists his neck to the painful tranquillity of his ears in the castle.

He was Captain Narise, who twisted his neck but carefully kept searching the castle without making a single sound, but doubted that he hadn't encountered anyone since breaking into the castle and asked each team for confirmation.

"From Alpha to all teams. Report the current situation."

"This is Bravo, currently exploring the interior of the tower east of the castle.... No Enemy Shadow '

"This is Charlie, exploring the upstairs part of the castle, no enemy shadows, just like Bravo"

"Delta to Alpha. We found something in the middle of the first floor of the castle that looked like a supply entrance that seemed to lead underground. It should also be noted that this one is not allowed to look like an enemy soldier. Over '

What's this all about? Too unpopular. At least 1,000 human beings are supposed to be in this castle, and all we came across were ten soldiers watching outside the castle.... No way, is that a trap?

"Alpha, copy that, Bravo. After the search for the inside of the tower, secure the exit. We and Charlie will rendezvous with Delta and head underground."

"" Copy that. ""

Upon hearing each team's report, Captain Narise further inflates his suspicions, giving instructions to each team to fulfill his mission, even though he sees the possibility that the castle itself is a trap, and starts moving towards the material entrance where Delta finds it.

"Here.... Chip, is there a deployed magic barrier? Raise, you guys help him too."

Captain Narise, who joined the Delta team, told the Wizards of the Alpha team to lend a hand to the Wizards of the Delta team who were already working on the removal of the magic barriers when they noticed the unfolding magic barriers stretched out at the material entrance where the large wooden elevators were located. Black Phantom has about five slaves per team who can use the magic that thousands of years old have bought from all over the world.

"How long is it going to take?

It'll take about three minutes.

"Slow, do it with that half"

Copy that.

Captain Narise, who spoke to the wizard's crew who had been working on the removal of the magic barrier since before they arrived, makes a breakthrough.

"Disarmed"

And just a minute and a half later, the magic barrier that had been erected at the material entrance disappeared.

"Well done."

Captain Narise, who labored by lightly tapping the shoulders of the earlier crew, pulled about five people out of the Delta team and left them at the secure supply entrance, headed underground with the remaining ten of the Delta team and a total of 40 of the Alpha and Charlie teams.

"From Alpha to HQ, now to the basement of the castle"

"HQ Copy."

No one yet knows what's waiting for Captain Narise, who shut down communications and boarded the wooden elevator, in the basement with no escape.
