When the kites were in charge of stopping the crusaders. With that in his back, Cornelius was returning to his camp alone. Needless to say, to follow Kate's advice. I had to hurry for that.

The kites are widows. Sure, it's impossible to kill them because of the difference in power, but if we make a big detour from it, we can attack the Erlic camp. You won't shy away from Charlemagne already. Relentless, good to think of this one as something to be burned down.

"All hands! Now......"

Waiting for the gates of the faction to open also remains, and Cornelius kicks forcefully into the formation. I don't have another moment of respite, and I don't need a gateway to retreat immediately from this. but what he saw was the appearance of soldiers moving even in order.

"Heh... to...?

My father fell poisoned and wandered the border between life and death, and it was only a moment ago that he decided to flee the land. Why, then, are we already preparing to withdraw? Unable to understand, Cornelius blinks unexpectedly. And it was an old man who greeted him like that.

"You're home."

"Father!?

When he saw the man he welcomed, Cornelius opened his eyes wide. Father, that's what he says. This man was Hannibal Erlic, known as General Erlic, the father of Cornelius. Her face looked very similar, and whoever saw it could recognize her as a parent and child.

"I don't have time to talk about details right now. I understand the situation. Make sure you're ready to start the flagship immediately, too. The neighbors have already instructed us to go. I will lead the convincing and retreating villagers relying on evacuation."

"Ah, whoa."

Why is my father standing here in full swing, supposed to fall poison and wander the frontier of life and death? Besides, we're already getting ready to pull out. The situation had spilled all at once during his absence for more than a dozen minutes and was instantly incomprehensible. That said, I don't have time to understand. There's no point in understanding it here either.

The important thing is to evacuate as soon as possible from here. As long as we get out of the country, we can handle the rest. Hence Hannibal, who had grasped Dachan, immediately kicked his son's ass.

"Hurry! We don't have time! There are limits to what they can prevent! Plus I can think of jamming from other nobles on the road! Wherever possible, you have to get out before your enemies are ready! Hurry up and get ready!

"Eh! Copy that! Father, where are we headed?

"South! Get out of the ocean!

When Cornelius nods one to his father's words, he throws down his understanding of the situation and starts moving immediately off the spot. If my father takes command of the formation, I feel safe. I only work to get the soldiers moving. On the bridge of the flagship that returned that way, his proximity, who had already been waiting for Hannibal to tell him, had refrained.

"Commander!"

"We've been waiting for you!

Cornelius sees how the neighbors are and understands that they understand why my father is resurrected. If so, you don't have to get lost. Before you think about it, just move.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Ha! The General has instructed and the main power reactor has already been activated! We are currently in the process of stabilising the output! He said he could get the plane to work without any problems!

"What output can you give?

"In the words of the chief engineer, about 50% including the safety margin and. But the limit is that up to 70% of the cruise speed is possible. I can't guarantee anything more."

"Right."

Although Cornelius doesn't understand why Kate has fully flew the plane, he understands that if Miranda's words are correct, he is making sure that he can fly enough for one second. If so, there is no problem.

"Hurry up and get ready to launch. Probably subject to interdiction by enemy pursuit units and Uncle Millix's interfering units. With the exception of the ship's ships and personnel to calm the villagers, prepare those who can leave for shelling and the White Soldiers. I need your father's help."

"Ha. I'll be in with the general to select personnel immediately."

"Hurry up. There is no difference in performance between the enemy and this airship. but this one is more overwhelmingly disadvantaged for being hit by a flagship flyer. Prepare to assume you're boarding the pursuit unit."

Cornelius should pay more attention to Miranda's acceptance. It is where I would like to abandon the flagship if I could, but unfortunately, I cannot do so either, given the fact that I will put the villagers on board. It is true that the villagers of the neglected villages, one of whom was damaged in such a way that it was good to say that it was half destroyed, nevertheless the number of people is superior to a hundred.

Given the soldiers, their armaments, the food that could be put on one ship, the living space that should be allocated to them, etc., it was not the amount that would have allowed all the villagers to be put on one ship, even if the camp was kept in place.

Of course, some villagers are reluctant to abandon their country, so they won't be able to take everything with them, but they can still assume that they will definitely board more than half of them. I really had to take the flagship with me. Inevitably, it is necessary to align the perimeter with the speed of the flagship. Don't let one ship sink to protect the villagers.

"... are you willing to die... let me do more than I said myself"

Lieutenant Colonel, I need to talk to you.

"What?"

One side brought several warriors to Cornelius, who seeped through one's determination. That's how I look at him, and the proximity reports the warriors.

"Adventurers want to work together," he said.

"Hmm... they..."

Cornelius sees the faces of young warriors, apparently adventurers. Lumio and the others were among them. And so I remembered Daima.

Are you from an evacuated village?

"Yes, so ask what's going on and cooperate."

"... well. Nice to meet you. Try to accommodate anything you need, such as equipment."

There will be no back. Cornelius reads Kite's muscles and understands that this is also one of his support here. Note that as a kite, I was close to betting on boulders here, but I still read that there would be many offers to cooperate because I know a lot of people. It was difficult to say the correct answer, but it was also difficult to say the incorrect answer.

"Which ship should I lead you to?"

"Supposedly the flagship will probably be a fierce battle. Assign as many personnel as possible to the flagship. Instead, reduce the number of soldiers. They and I will do something about it. Ask Miranda for more information."

"Ha... Okay, come here"

At Cornelius' direction, Lumio and the others are led to Miranda. Cornelius has overall command. It was Miranda's intention to assign adventurers, etc.

"Okay... there's no problem..."

Cornelius confirms himself that he has managed to skip enough instructions so far. I usually ask Miranda to confirm it, but the current situation is that she has to move independently too. Some anxiety, but for now, it seemed fine.

"Get them out on the monitor"

Cornelius uses his spare time and orders the operator to reflect the situation of the kites. After all, the soldiers in the army are quite afloat, and the situation is good when the kites say they are overwhelmingly dominant despite the widows. Furthermore, because of the presence of two people, Kite and Hitachi, the front stretches considerably beside each other, and there is no indication that they are able to make a good detour.

but at Charlemagne's order, which anticipated this flow, it was detectable that about half the fleet of airships had already followed the position and bypassed it greatly. Perhaps half of them are going to storm the Erlic faction of camp from side to side and the other half or so will be stuck on their path.

"What do they do?

"The airship looks like it is. They'll catch up to you later."

Cornelius makes it clear to the operator that he will leave the kites out of the question. The kites are lords. And they have their own airship. He's the one who wrote this muscle. Cornelius can see that the spacecraft is probably not the majority of the spacecraft.

From there, it was further speculated that Kate's muscles had decided that Cornelius and the others would stop there until they were critical enough to catch up. Then it will be their muscle to leave them along that muscle line. And when I was ready for those guesses and some preparations, the operator who was interacting with the outside put in the report.

"Lieutenant Colonel, I've finished evacuating the villagers from Ensign Miranda, who was outside with the general in selecting personnel. The Ensign is on his way here with the general."

"Right. Any food, loads of weapons?

"There's also a report that it's been completely terminated."

"Good. If so, then throw it away and there will be no more problems. Okay, let's take off!

Cornelius hears everything is ready and orders an immediate take-off. There was a feeling of considerable haste, but Hannibal was able to prepare for withdrawal before his return, and accommodating the injured people inside the airship in case. We were able to get everything ready in about 30 minutes from his return.

"Roger! All ships, take off as soon as you're ready to launch!

In response to Cornelius' decree, the operators will communicate take-off for other airships. Thus, Hannibal entered the bridge while all the airships took off and fleet formation was in place.

"The formation... good. That's neat."

"Dad... what about the body?

"Uhm... nothing right now"

Hannibal makes it clear that there are no problems with Cornelius' slightly worrying gaze. That said, I still had doubts that I was being forced to do more than not know the circumstances.

And I don't know that. It's not Hannibal. He decided that once he checked the situation and figured out that he still had time to catch up with the enemy, he would tell us all about it. As a precaution, he secretly followed Xiang to the side.

"There's... there's time. Shokun, you were. Can I talk to you?

"Ah, yes. For once, I've heard from Kite that it's okay to talk about the great things."

"Right..."

Kite. Cornelius, in his name, grasps that this strange boy is close to Kite's gesture. Hence, Hannibal decided to start talking briefly about what had happened with Sho's permission.
