"Infantry ready! Defensive battle formation!"

"All catapults loaded with flamethrowers!" Scorpion Squad, start reloading! "

"Cannon gun units, ready to fire! Objective, the middle of the enemy!"

The best soldiers ran to the observation deck in a frenzied defensive position.

Kaylen, Titis, and Philexia were among them.

The senators are being held captive in their tents.

The army moved in the middle of the negotiations, so that's a natural course of action.

"General Kylen! What is this about!?"

As he ran, one screamed at Kaylen.

"I don't know... I don't know!"

Kaylen replies by correcting her words.

"The whole army is strict about waiting!" I wonder if the remaining Senator and First Consul Ivar did it on their own! ”

"It's just like you guys." What's "keeping him under guard"? It's no good at all. "

Zirconia sighs as she runs at speed.

I didn't expect this to happen, but I was shocked that they wouldn't be able to do it.

“Seeing as we have barely any defensive positions in place, we're going to break through before we're completely stuck. That's stupid."

"... there is no word to return"

"Racka and Lars, aren't they being killed now?" It's possible those two instigated it. "

"They don't do that!"

Kaylen glares at Zirconia.

"Blood is not connected, but we are like brothers!" Don't be foolish! "

"Huh? Then you're both murdered." I was told I was a coward who agreed to make peace. "

……

Turning away from the inciting zirconia, Kaylen turns forward with a steep expression.

Kazra-san! I'm going to the Cannon Artillery!

Please don't let me shoot you yet, Valletta!

I know!

Valletta picks up the hip radio and runs away, calling for a hold.

“Hubel, tell me what's going on! Go ahead!”

Nelson yells at the radio.

The enemy is advancing at full speed towards our right wing. A horde of cavalry will soon come into contact with our vanguard. ”

Lord Nelson!

Kaylen called out to Nelson as he ran.

Is that cannon a weapon that flies an iron bullet?!

Oh, yeah.

"That's it, shoot the senators!" They should be in the middle of all the armies! ”

"Master Kaylen!? What are you talking about!?"

Titis is stunned by Kaylen's suggestion.

"If we don't do something about the people in command, the army won't stop!" If they die, I'll be able to convince them to leave! ”

"But, but..."

Lady Kylen's suggestion is reasonable!

Philexia agrees.

"If we crush our heads, our army will be malfunctioning!" That's the only way to stop it! ”

"Lord Nelson, I want you to aim only at the Senator and not at the soldiers!" Then I'll go ahead and convince them! "Please lend me that vehicle, Lord Kazura and Lord Zirconia are on board!"

At Kaylen's breath, Ira couldn't respond immediately and mumbled.

If we keep fighting, the Barbale army will suffer a great deal of damage.

In this case, even if peace is reached, it will force a tremendous effort to accommodate and treat the injured person.

I want to avoid it from now on when I try to set things up with the barbarians.

But if we let most of them escape to the capital, it would be quite dangerous.

Those who oppose peace will not listen to what Kaylen says, and if they do, they will have no choice but to attack.

We need to stop the Barber army here, even if we're bluffing the Kylens.

"What are you doing?" What are you going to do if it doesn't work!? "

Zirconia exclaims in a furious form.

"I'll definitely try to convince you!" Believe me! "

"I can't talk about it." Khazra-san, if you don't strike and instil fear in the entire enemy army, won't you listen to what Kaylen has to say? ”

"Cuzla, your mother is right."

Leaze, who was running next to her, said with a careless expression.

“The lawmakers over there haven't seen the video, and I think General Kylen was cowardly. That's what I'm telling the soldiers."

“Yeah, we should try to reduce the risk as much as possible.”

Ichira nodded and looked sideways at Kaylen.

"General Kylen, you heard me. The senator will shoot, but at the same time he will attack the entire army.”

"... I understand."

Kaylen nodded as she frowned.

"Ms. Nelson, give instructions to the entire army to attack." I'll tell Valletta. "

Got it.

Nelson matches the radio's channels and sends out instructions to initiate the attack.

"Damn it... Mr. Qazra, I'm going with Kaylen." Isn't it nice? "

"... I understand, but please be careful."

“Sure, don't worry about it.”

Zirconia smiles.

Ichira took the hip radio and aligned the channels with those of Valletta.

”Geez, Zirconia-san”

As if I remembered something, one of them called out to Zirconia.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Just in case, there's something I want you to take with you." Please follow me. "

Having said that, Hiromi ran toward her tent, speaking to Valletta on the radio.

Zirconia tilted her head, but then continued.

"Very well. I will aim only at the senator. The communication is over."

Valletta answers on the radio as she runs through the soldiers at tremendous speed.

I found Nina standing on the observation platform and kicked the ground and jumped.

I jumped onto the ladder in 10 steps and ran up with a breath.

Nearby, there was bulldozed soil, and one cannon gun was preparing to fire.

A total of six cannon cannons were laterally dispersed at intervals of approximately 100 meters in order to allow freedom to the lateral firing angle.

Nina!

Oh, Valletta!

Nina, looking into her binoculars, turned to Valletta.

"You really did what Valletta said!" I've already found someone who looks like a Legion Leader! "

"No, it's not that, it's the lawmakers!" Give me that! "

Receive the binoculars in a fold and place them on your eyes.

An incredible number of soldiers were moving at full speed towards the northwest with smoke.

"... there she is!"

In a few seconds, Valletta found a group of luxurious armor and attached a radio to her mouth.

I lowered my binoculars and gave instructions to the cannon team to fire, suddenly feeling something in the corner of my sight.

Put your binoculars in your eyes again and look at them.

Behind the army advancing at full speed, there was an entirely immobile force.

"That's..."

Unpleasantly, Valletta looked over to lick the army.

The figure of a big man with his right hand hanging from a triangle railing and screaming something while riding.

Lars.

- Is that so?

Valletta clenched her back teeth.

When I looked around it, I saw Lacca shouting in the same way.

Probably, this is Kylen's ploy.

Raqqa and Lars, who returned there, must have instigated the Senators to break through.

Based on what Kylen has done so far, I'm sure she sees the situation as an opportunity to kill as many of her rival senators as she can and strip the rest of them of all authority.

To sacrifice the soldiers who shouldn't have died for it is the work of the devil.

Again, he is not to be trusted.

"Barletta, what's wrong with your scary face? If we don't attack quickly....."

Yeah, that's right.

Valletta lowers her binoculars and presses the transmit button on the radio.

Kaylen gets angry, but there's nothing he can do right now.

As he has foreseen, we will not be able to stop the escaping Barber army unless we wipe out the Senators.

Besides, the accompanying soldiers are pathetic, but future negotiations should benefit our allies.

---... I'm such a terrible person to think of such a thing.

"Valletta?"

Nina called out again to Valletta, who was silent.

Valletta sighed and opened her mouth.

This is Valletta. All Cannon artillery. We'll take the first hit. Please shoot each group of cavalrymen wearing luxurious armor at the impact site at will. "

As he did so, he jumped off the viewing platform and ran to the nearby cannon.

Receive a military compass from the soldier and measure the distance from the senators.

I calculated the future position from the travel speed and pointed it at the barrel of the cannon.

Inform the soldier of the amount of gunpowder and give him loading instructions.

Then, my eyes fell on the watch that I had received on my left hand.

You're ready to fire!

"Ignite to zero. Eight, seven, six, five..."

An igniter with a rod on fire pushed the rod into the hole in the rear of the cannon when the countdown to the balletta was 0.

An iron artillery shell is fired with a rumbling sound, moving in a straight line towards the congressman's group.

The projectile pushed into the middle of the velocity of the Senators and struck the flanks of the Senators in front of it.

His torso is pulled to pieces, and the penetrating shells hit the deputies in the back, causing secondary damage when their limbs hit nearby people and ratas.

When the surprised rata stopped and fell, Shurakura was born in an instant.

The catapults and scorpions scattered across the defensive positions then started shooting at each other.

Nelson has been waiting for an attack to stop the Canon artillery from interfering with the fire.

Instead of shooting at a specific spot, they say, “Shoot for now and someone will hit you.”

They flew over the soldiers at full speed, killing and wounding with huge bolts and flaming flamethrowers.

"I-It's amazing..."

"I hit it in the middle..."

The soldiers who fired the cannon let out a dumb voice.

"I'll release the second shot right away. Clean the cannon barrel."

Valletta gives instructions in a quiet voice.

The soldiers rushed to prepare for the shooting.

At that time, Zirconia, who had received something from Ichira, came to the place where the motorcycle was parked.

There was also Kaylen, who had arrived with the Guard earlier.

I really wanted to go with you, and Felixia was with me.

Zirconia straddles the bike and turns to Kaylen.

"Wait. Get in there."

"Oh, what is that?"

Kaylen looks at the plastic bag in Zirconia's hand.

“It's amazing. I don't know if I'm going to use it.”

“What? What the hell is that?

Kaylen gets into the sidecar as she glances at it.

Fylexia rushed over to another motorcycle driven by the guards.

"Here, take this. And the white loudspeaker on the luggage carrier. I'll teach you how to use it while you run."

Zirconia gave Kaylen a plastic bag and started the motorcycle's engine.

Surrounded by nearby guards riding motorcycles, sidecar riders have throwing bombs and crossbows.

"Wow, what the hell?" It's so slippery and so thin. "

"It's called a plastic bag, and it's made from burning water." Hold on tight. "

Twisting the accelerator, the bike runs at a tremendous speed.

"Ahem! No matter how many times you ride, this is fun!"

Behind the zirconia, Philexia's grunting voice resounds.

Kaylen grabbed the edge of the sidecar and looked impressed by its speed.

”Awesome... if you go faster than us, you'll be able to get to Mudia sooner than us”

"Unlike Rata, I don't need a break." I can run more than twice as fast as Rata. "

Oh, I see. Are you sure you have this for all your soldiers?

Well, I don't know.

Zirconia turns a nagging smile to Kaylen.

But without this, we can march much faster than you guys?

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"God bless you." We're all blessed. No matter how much you keep marching, everyone will be fine. "

"Come on... it's not Lars, but that's against the rules."

Kaylen said that and looked back as a haha.

I saw Felixia standing on her lap in a sidecar, waving her hand behind her back.

Even though we ran at full speed together to where the motorcycle was parked, we were full of energy.

The Guard said to her, "Dangerous!", he shouted in a panic.

"That guy... why are you so well?" After all that running, I could not stop coughing anymore. "

"Graciol-sama gave you a secret medicine." Thanks to you, I'm getting better in vain. "

Lord Kazura?

"Huh? Did they already ask you?"

Kaylen smiles bitterly at Zirconia, who says with a slight surprise.

"No, I put my finger on it." You gave this to Lord Kasura, didn't you? It's normal to think, "Maybe." "

……

Zirconia makes a dull face.

I remembered when Nibelle made a fool of me, and I became unnecessarily self-loathing.

"Don't make such a face." You were going to tell me anyway, weren't you? "

"That's right, but you have to pretend you don't know until you're taught to do so by Kazura-san." You're going to get mad at me. "

"Yes, but no matter what kind of doctor I see, the one who remained sick..."

Kaylen turns her back again.

When Philexia and I sat down again, she said, "Karen-sama!" He waved his hand with a smile.

"God is amazing." It's nothing, isn't it? "

I waved my hand back to Fylexia, and Kaylen turned around.

I looked inside the plastic bag and saw a few thick tubulars in it, and tilted my neck.

I have no idea what it is.

I was surprised when we first met.

You've met other gods, haven't you?

"Yes, there are many gods." Your god doesn't seem to think much of you. "

"Maybe so."

Zirconia tilts her head towards Kylen, who agrees.

"Oh, it's not very honest."

"I didn't originally believe in God." You do too, don't you? "

"... yes."

Zirconia's expression clouds as she remembers her old self.

Kaylen glanced sideways.

Then I opened my mouth and stopped.

Can God bring man to life, Asha?

That's what I've been thinking since I saw the video.

But I looked at Zirconia's expression and thought the question was in vain.

- If I could, I'd have done it already. Hey, God?

After that, they both kept their mouths shut for a while.
