The Empire itself, the Southern Front.

The formation of the Southern Guard, which was temporarily pushed into the 10th Fleet of the Stigme Empire, was reversed by the arrival of General McTilla Shade's rangers.

The Stigme Imperial Army was overwhelmed by the battle power centered on the Wind Demon Machine Sea Ayr and Earth Demon Machine Sea Gae.

Battleship Raptor. Captain Lungar gave short orders as Shade watched from his command post.

"Port side, focus on the enemy cruiser. Fire!"

A 30-centimeter magic cannon emits a light bullet.A winged dragon-like Stigme Empire Cruiser pierces, detonates, and sets ablaze the main gun of an Insurance class Battleship.

Chief of Staff Honor said.

"It's settled." The enemy battleship was sunk by Cea 'Air.The remaining hostile ships are retreating.For now, the southern defenses will have time to recover. "

I hope so.

The shade's expression was stiff.

"How powerful are the enemies?"We don't even know if it's the main force or the vanguard. ”

It also appeared in the Elves' city.Flying ships, air power, magic aircraft, etc...At that scale, the power of the Empire may be comparable to or surpassed by that of the Empire.

"From now on, we will cope with the Stigme Empire."The immediate threat is that we are a threat to our homeland. "

There is a formidable enemy named Sea Pang, but unlike the Stigme Empire, it has not invaded the Empire itself.

A fleet of mysterious invaders are wandering the country and its environs, but their activities have recently been on a small scale, and they have not been attacked by civilians, so we will be able to put them off for now.

When Shade imagined what the Empire was going to do, the communications chief came in with a serious expression on his face.

"Sir, the Imperial Capital has sent us a confidential transmission..."

From the Imperial Capital?

The word "classified communication" also worries me, but the correspondence from the Empire State Capital becomes even more tense.

Perhaps it was a direct transmission from His Majesty the Emperor?

There is also the possibility of matters related to the Elves' failure to take control of Sato.The blue face of the communications chief who brought the telegram, even at the end of the world, spurs it.

……

Put down a breath and check the contents of the shade. And I was stunned.

Is this true?!

"... no, I don't understand."

The communications chief tightened his mouth.

However, since it is a sensitive telegram from the Imperial City, it seems that it is not a fake or fake communication.

……

The shade was silent.

Sir, what's going on in the Imperial City?

The chief of staff of Onor and other cadres are watching.Shade looks at them in silence.

Can I just say this now?No, but eventually it's going to be in their ears.

Emperor Diggle was crushed.



Dead in action?

On the bridge of the battleship Balmunk, I heard a report from Sphera in the Intelligence Department.

That Kurf was killed in a battle with the Stigme Empire?

In the Emperorland, it's becoming commonplace among senior officers and nobles.

"Diggle's fucked up."

Mr. Bell broke his nose.

“Can you believe it, Jin?”

"I can't believe it.... he's immortal."

You can't die. But in reality, the death of the Emperor was spreading in the Empire.

It is said that the Emperor himself fled to the Eastern Front after being invaded by the Empire.At the end of the offensive, the Empire's fleet managed to defeat the Stigme Imperial Army with heavy losses.

However, the flagship that slaughtered the enemy fleet inspired its allies, but it ended up sinking.

It seemed to be an explosion that could not afford to escape, and the friendly troops who were present at the scene decided that they would definitely die in battle.

Hmm, it would have shifted and escaped at the moment of the explosion.

"But, Mr. Bell, I know he's been transferred, but where do you think he went?"

At least the Empire's people don't know where they are.If I had known, the story of crushing urchin would have converged before it got so big.

"Was that son of a bitch really thinking that he could use transfer magic?"Can't you just get out before you leave? "

Mr Bell laughs modestly.

Just saying that you can use the transfer magic will cause a commotion.In front of us, we were bumping into each other, but normally we don't do that much.

Unexpectedly, you're eating at Noi Arvent, right?

It's possible. Let me see if there's anyone like that.

That's where I came to think.

"Maybe he's in the Great Empire in Kurfu's form, not in the form of an emperor."I only know what the emperor looks like, so I didn't notice he was there? "

Is that what you mean?

Ms. Bell pointed her lips.

The emperor's absence will cause trouble for the Empire.

The absence of the leader is an anomaly given that he is in wartime.We must immediately decide on a succession and strike a national tragedy.

... I know, but I didn't get the feeling that Diggle was dead, and so did Bell.

I don't think it's confusing, there's a gap.I suspect it's some kind of grand trap.

I don't think the world would agree with that, though.

Mr. Bell twisted his neck.

"The trend of the Empire will need to be watched."It would be interesting if you split up inside. "

Sphera, we need you to keep gathering information.

Yes, sir.

Sphera lowered her head.

Now, Mr. Bell, who is a little more than usual, has changed.

"Hey, Jin. Can you lend me some weapon development space?"I'll use my magic power, so I won't bother you. "

"It's unusual for Ms. Bell to say that....... Black Knight? "

Bell's love machine was destroyed in a battle with the Stigme Empire God Machine.The opponent was defeated, but the damage was considerable.

That's true, but I also wanted a dedicated ship.

said the demon king in the form of a black cat.

I want a fleet, too.
