- (Zah) Target, Zordaxzaian home, artificial life form (homunculus) clandestine base, 'Thousand Years Cemetery (...)'!

The encrypted magic communication suggested that 'Iron Pile Cannon (...)' was activated.

The target of the attack, he said, is the home of Zordakuszaian, the magical secret society, a terrorist organization that operated in the Wang capital Metanostadt. It is an air strike by the Kamikami Iron Hammer Cannon (Kamui Caliber), also known as the 1500 km maximum range Merte.

However, it is not possible to directly target the territory of Western Stralia from the Wang capital Metanostadt. I guess that's where we'll use the iron pile cannon in Inclamed, the capital of the western state of Isravia.

Stealing before... According to materials I have seen in Search Magic (Ggor), the Kingdom of Metanostadt has received the ancestors (...), iron pile cannons (...) that were in Israeli territory. It was renovated to the same specifications as three iron pile cannons in the vicinity of Wangdu, he said.

Indeed, if we aim from there, the territory of the western Duchy of Stralia will be within range.

I showed the map in the magical window in front of me and confirmed the location. In the state capital of Israel (...) Inclamed - further west of the governor's office in Ergonote, there is a firing facility.

"It's not good! Weren't the bodies of the Duke of Norad's son resting in the Millennium Cemetery?

If that's where it was destroyed or burned down with an iron pile cannon, the Duke could go mad. Discussions about improving the relationship that had been going in the peaceful direction were all the same with Ami Nogiki.

The magical carriage in which the Duke rode began to move, with the front and rear sandwiched by the escort carriage.

Should we go after him now and tell him the facts...... However, I do not think it is easy to teach the contents of military operations.

At that time, the fairy Metius raised his voice from the inside of the collar of the cloak of sages.

"Please calm down, sage Grecas"

"Meti?"

"The Duke of Nollard did say that the body of your son was subjected to a magical procedure in the 'Millennium Cemetery' … but it's not always there."

"Mm, if you ask me so"

"Isn't it being moved to your own mansion or something a little different?

Fairy Metius whispers with a thoughtful look. It's certainly possible. Or vice versa, if it can't be preserved without a 'millennium graveyard', it will remain rested there.

"And it's not the secret between me and Grecas the Wise that's intercepting the magic communication?

"... right. First, we need to get some information on the firing of the iron pile gun."

You can go after the Duke afterwards and take the necessary response. But the countdown went on, and now it's 240. We're almost out of four minutes.

I opened a magic line of communication and called in the Operations Staff Headquarters.

"Uh, hello. Is this Mr. Filagalia, Chief of Operations Staff?

- (Zach) Lord Grecas, what happened? I'm busy right now. '

It was only during the operation, a voice that was calm and did not make me feel disturbed by emotions.

"One thing, I'm checking."

"- (Zah) What is it?

"Does the kingdom launch into any action against a series of Zordaxzaian one-sided actions in the King's capital? For example... like retaliation"

"- (Zach) Don't let Lord Grecas worry about that. It's a military secret, but naturally we're going to take care of it. '

"Really? Is that the order of His Majesty the King?

'- (Zah) Whatever. It is a matter of decision, including His Majesty the King and His Excellency General Gilkes, who will be revealed in the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Army. If the details of the operation are Lord Grecas… you will see the information disclosed as an official document of the Kingdom. Even if it is the life of Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel, I can disclose it now.... So now that I'm busy'

"Oh, wait! I'm just at the scene of a raid on Zordaxzaian. Nearby is also the Duke of Norard, ambassador of the western country of Stralia. Is the story now in the Ambassador's ear?

Silence only for a moment. The countdown to firing is 180.

"- (Zah) Don't worry. My country is not like lawless terrorists. Formal advance notice has been sent to the Principality of Stralia today. '

"Oh, my God, that's...! I didn't know."

Looks like what I said I didn't know bought me some cheer. Slightly quicken the tone.

'- (Zah)... Well, if this is how you have the right to dignify into the secret line, you will hear it sooner or later. Things are going on, only matters that I can't help but say…, we will conduct a pinpoint air strike by iron pile cannon. This is an irreversible decision.'

"HQ directly!? It's a lot more coercive than I thought."

"- The target of the attack is Zordaxzaian, or the home of the terrorists. You will pay the price for the repeated provocations against our country. However, since it is located near the border, it gives notice to the countries concerned. There was some backlash from various countries, but no clear opposition. Naturally. Because... Zordaxzaian is an international terrorist organization. '

"... I see, really clever and effective. If information about a pre-attack is leaked, there will be an informant (...) leading to the terrorist organization."

In the unlikely event that an attack on the home of Zordaxzaian is known, the iron pile cannon may now be unleashed towards the capital of the Principality of Stralia, the Wang Capital.

This is a complete "stepping picture".

"-The boulder is Her Royal Highness's katana."

Countdown to launch is 120.

"Can I make this story the Duke of Norard?

'- I don't mind. The rhino has been thrown.'
