An imperial strategy that wins with the national power it possesses, wins with the force it mobilizes, and above all wins with the weapon system it uses, and finds no element of Parabellum's loss.

The fact is that the current war situation also retained an absolute advantage and the victory was unshakeable, so there was a certain amount of victory mood over the entire army of the Parabellan army.

But the extraordinary front-line command, where senior commanders of the division chief class under the age of a thousand met together, had the true reverse of the victory mood drifting into the army - a bitter air, as it did when the losing streak continued.

……

……

By the way, that heavily painful air is not a thing formed with nature, but something that a thousand years old sitting on the upper seat with a rugged face while arming up is unconsciously generating.

To say why a thousand years old was so grumpy, it was because the enemy's main circle remained even though two weeks had already passed since the start of the Imperial Strategy.

In chronological order, on the first day, the Parabellan army, which defeated many of the Imperial Army forces defending the Empire City with unparalleled heavy force from all sides of the land, sea and air, and achieved the great result of annihilating the demonic masses and the Angels of those who suffered some damage, succeeded on this day alone in attacking an area equal to a quarter of the Empire City.

From the second day onwards, a joint infantry unit, dominated by tank units and mechanized infantry units, fought spearcraft tactics - at once deploying, attacking at once and destroying each of the isolated Imperial Army by centralizing an infantry unit of a red country-like size after dimensioning the enemy's defensive lines everywhere due to the operation of a new manoeuvre in downtown.

After that, the painting was painted with paint, but the momentum was as great as ever to expand the occupied territory, and on the fifth day, when the organizational resistance of the Imperial Army was visibly reduced due to the onslaught using spear machine tactics and man-made sea tactics, the entire imperial area was controlled, with the exception of palaces and cathedrals, which stood guarded by magic barriers in the heart of the imperial capital.

In addition, three days later, rebel forces consisting of Imperial Army defectors and fanatical Lowenian followers blew up the entrances and exits of underground facilities, such as sewers, which were used as safe houses and underground positions, and burned down large quantities of petrol into underground facilities, as the U.S. military had done against Japanese troops standing in underground positions in World War II before the surviving rebels had magically crawled out onto the ground.

As a result, in just a week and a little while, the Parabellan army had completed its occupation of the imperial capital.

However, the fact that the palace and the cathedral, which must be attacked even if they had achieved so much, were still alive even over the same amount of time needed to drop the Empire, and that the most important figures to be secured or killed were abandoned in the wild, was hurting the mood of a thousand years.

"All Keraunos, deployed on low orbit"

"Link confirmation with tactical data link"

"Baldor, Votan, Odin, Fenrill, Rex. Targeting linkage and correction of all Keraunos."

Prepare for simultaneous attack.

"Firing count five, four, three, two, one, zero."

"Fire."

That said, Parabellum, of course, was not just wasting his time sitting there at the time of the millennium.

He was moving to open the situation by executing various attempts, such as a 24-hour controlled projectile with concentrated submarine guns, heavy artillery and the simultaneous detonation of as many as 300 tons of high-performance explosives stacked on the side of a magic barrier.

However, because all those attempts had failed, a new attempt was now being made: a simultaneous attack by five Keraunos held by Parabellum.

"Starting projectile descent."

"Ignite auxiliary rocket booster"

"Nine seconds to target."

"Three, two, one, zero to bounce."

All bullets hit the target.

"Currently checking for results"

"... chip"

The scene footage sent by the RQ-1 Predator of the drone sent in to confirm the outcome of the war, a thousand years old who was watching the huge screen it showed was tongue-beating before the earthquake, which rose under the influence of bullets, subsided.

"... also, the goal is alive and well. No damage has been found to the magic barrier or palace."

"Can't you do this..."

"What a hard magic barrier."

"How can I break through that magic barrier..."

The senior commanders who accompanied the operator's ruthless reports whisper surprises.

……

"To which way, Madam Vice President?

Taking his gaze off the screen he was watching, the magnificent division leader speaks to the thousand-year-old who inadvertently took his seat.

"I'm going to announce to your husband the use of nuclear weapons"

"" "" Huh!?

The air in the field freezes on the term the use of nuclear weapons popped out of the mouth of a thousand years old.

"Oh wait!! I thought the use of nuclear weapons was still too early."

"That's right. There must still be some way."

"The use of nuclear weapons can put soldiers at unnecessary risk of being bombed!!

"Then what? You spend any more useless time giving your enemies valuable time?

"Oh, that's..."

……

"I don't know what they're thinking. But it is clear from their previous actions that they are trying to buy time. Giving them more respite is more detrimental than the use of nuclear weapons."

……

While it was an effective means of annihilating the enemy, it was when Thousand Years returned their heels and tried to contact Kazuya again, slightly convincing of the protests of several generals who hesitated to use nuclear weapons causing further problems.

"The magic barrier has vanished!!

The operator's full voice echoed the front-line command.

"What!?

"What the hell!!

"I dunno!! Suddenly the magic barrier disappeared!!

"... Keraunos' attack worked?

"No, the magic barrier seemed to completely prevent the attack. If the attack had worked, it would have vanished at the same time as the bullets."

"Then why did the magic barrier disappear?

No matter how many attacks, the magic barrier suddenly vanished, wrapped up in confusion within the front-line command and was approached to confirm the facts.

"Madam Vice Führer, isn't this a trap to lure us into?

"... it doesn't matter if it's a trap or whatever. The magic barrier's gone, just that fact. Okay. - Alert all troops!! I will attack down the palace and cathedral than this!!

"" "" Roger!!

An officer, distrustful of the situation as if he were inviting this one, asks a thousand years old about the possibility of a trap, but returning from a thousand years old was the instruction of the attack and a fierce grin that froze his spine.

"Hurry!! The enemy will be here soon!!

"Why!! Why did the magic barrier disappear!!

"Has anyone seen Master Mutaguchi?!?

"Take Your Majesty the Emperor to a safe place!!

"Oh... God. Protect us from the hands of the heathen, and destroy the defilers."

In the midst of the imperial side solidifying its defensive posture in the palace with its lifeline suddenly disappearing without any foretaste, using it as its strongest shield: the magic barrier, which was preventing all attacks, and the equipment to defend itself becoming only an extremely primitive defensive device, such as the walls and castle gates left by the first emperor.

A short distance from that palace, on a pile of rubble, Thousand Years old stared at the palace with a sharp gaze like an eagle, while just waiting for each entry unit to be ready at the simple position behind it, which had been prepared in advance for this time - the assembly point of the troops.

……

"I finally found it. Were you here?"

No one approached him for his appearance, drooling with visible killings and overflowing with intent to kill, and therefore only his thousand-year-old surroundings were filled with creepy silence, but those who broke that silence appeared accidentally.

Climbing the rubble mountain and lining it next to a thousand years old was Celisia, who rarely took off the hood of the bright black robe she was always wearing and narrowed her eyes to the light of a strong day while keeping her short blonde hair in the wind.

"What can I do for you?

Thousands of years old take a chilling glimpse of Celisia standing next to her and return words to discipline as she quickly lost interest.

"No, not enough to say... I just wanted to have a little chat with you before the fight started."

"Right."

……

……

Having lost track of the story to a thousand-year-old unscrupulous response that only turns consciousness to the palace, Celisia turns her gaze in the same direction as Thousand Years old and silences herself after letting her gaze get lost as troubled.

"... this battle will be over soon"

After a brief silence, Celisia opens her mouth with emotion as she looks at the cathedral standing next to the palace, not the palace where the thousand years old are looking.

"Oh, yeah."

"When this battle is over... what are you going to do?

"What to do... Hmm, I don't care what they say. It hasn't changed what I've done and will continue to do. It's all because of your husband. It is my mission to fulfill everything your husband wants. I'm offering my life for your husband."

"... that's your answer."

When she heard Celisia's reply, she frowned unconsciously when she felt that the atmosphere was slightly different, whether it was weak or weak.

"With that said, he wanted the Cathedral's control to be at your disposal, but I'm sure you're all right over there, huh? I'll send a couple of Chiyodas if you want."

"No, that's fine. This is the kind of crap we should wear when I'm a... former Lowenian believer."

Thousands of years of slight anxiety about Celisia's condition suggest Chiyoda's dispatch somewhat, but Celisia shook her head and turned it down with a strong will in her eyes.

"Right. Then the Cathedral's keeper - the Virgin Mary Anne Belfast - left it to you. Needless to say, come back alive."

"... are you worried about me?

Celisia returned the words in surprise at the words coming out of her thousand-year-old mouth.

"I'm not worried about you. I'm worried that your husband will be sick when you die."

"Huh, so is that. Because our Lord is worried."

When Uriel's attack wounded himself on the first day of the offensive, he went backwards, appeared refreshed with a dedicated aircraft, healed the wounds with full healing ability, and then healed all the wounded soldiers who had been with him. Celisia smiled bitterly at Couscous when she thought of the man who had returned as if he had been stripped with a frightened face (to a Vice Führer).

……

- Sister, we're ready.

Chiyoda, who had taken command of the unit's readiness, shows up when Chiyo, who did not know that had happened, was twisting his neck in Celisia's reaction.

"Right."

When Thousand Years retrospectively lowered his gaze on the ready announcement, there were neatly lined up with soldiers dressed in full gear and prepared striker armored vehicles.

"Total Attention!!

At the same time as Chiyoda's hanging voice, the sound of a movement that corrected Zach's posture sounded, and the soldiers' gaze poured on one thousand years old.

"We start invading the palace more than this!! This is the last fight!! Give your life and do your best!! That's it!!"

"All aboard!!

Millennial, who briefly shortened his rhetoric just because he couldn't wait the earliest, broke up with Celisia and headed all the way to the palace when he boarded the armoured car that was ready to hear Chiyoda's instructions.
