The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

When I returned to Aries Floating Island, I checked with Diamante.

“Zombie outbreaks have been observed in several locations around the world. The cause is under investigation.”

It's not much different from the contents of the telegram.

"Did you see an unidentified flying object?"

"This way."

Diamante showed it in a holographic display.

"It will be the video captured by the observation pod. Here are a few confirmed flights on the continent.”

"A cross-shaped plane..."

Black body color. Looking up, the nose is elongated triangle. The main wing is a regular triangle, and the rear part is an elongated isosceles triangle like a tail.

"It's a triangle-conscious design."

The top view was similar to the silhouette of the Concus-class carrier of the Apolitan Empire, reversed back and forth. Of course, this one is quite small.

"It looks like a weapon of the Apollo civilization."

"But I've never seen it either." So, it's a new model of the Stigme Empire. "

I'll tilt my neck.

"But where did it come from?" The Announcement Region was supposed to be watching us. "

“Yes, the observation pod's enemies suddenly showed up and flew for a while, then disappeared.”

Stealth?

"I can't say for sure, but it appears as if it has metastasized, and the probability of disappearing due to metastasis is higher."

I see. If I could move with stealth, I wouldn't have to show myself.

It seems that it has something to do with zombies passing over cities and villages immediately afterwards, but if you can hide your identity by stealth, there is no merit in acting to stink causality. If we keep it gone, we won't be able to correlate it, and we'll have a hard time finding the cause.

Is it more difficult to ambush people than to show up in a transfer?

If there is a law at the occurrence position, or

With more records, we can speculate, but there is currently a shortage of data.

"If he shows up in the future, we'll need to take action... but for now, what's happening to the zombies on the ground?"

If a zombie outbreak targeted an urban area in the world where I was, it would be a major incident that could lead to a global crisis rather than a country...

"Currently, it is settled in cities and villages where zombies are occurring." Unfortunately, it's too late for a mass outbreak to happen. "

What about the spread of infection?

If you are injured by a zombie attack, the zombie fungus enters there, and if you do not treat it, it will become a zombie.

"Fortunately, there are limited people moving between settlements, and the explosive spread of infection has not been confirmed. The zombies are just roaming the city and village for now.”

Fortunately, in the midst of misfortune. It is regrettable that a sudden outbreak of zombies resulted in the deaths of the inhabitants, but it is a good report that they have not moved to another settlement.... but I can't say for sure if I don't move like this.

“Even if a zombie tries to move to another village, if it's not a small village, the adventurer will eliminate it early and report it to the big city, and those cities are protected by the outer wall. Unless a fatal human error occurs, expansion seems minimal.”

Even though it's far from the city to the city, it's a world where monsters roam, so the ability to cope with danger is much higher than in modern times. I can't be alarmed, but I think I can handle it if I don't make a mistake. The adventurers in this world are quite good.

"Let's look forward to the work of the leaders and lords of various countries." I won't intervene if there's a bad place, but for the time being, I'll see how it goes. "

Got it.

It's better to solve it soon, but I can't go into another country and mediate without permission. It's a diplomatic issue, and it takes time to negotiate. Now, more than that...

The problem is a mysterious flying object.

The causal relationship between the outbreak of zombies is unknown, but given what is happening in the passing places, this cannot be ignored. I don't want you showing up again and spraying zombies on a safe city somewhere.

What are the measures?

"TR-2 Dragon Eye - We will dispatch a fleet of unmanned long-range reconnaissance aircraft. It is equipped with a portal pod and deployed near the country where the flying object emerged. If we observe Announcements, we will send an interceptor from the portal pod and shoot it down."

Diamante replied.

“Currently, the Willidis Army is not able to cover the entire area because its main carrier fleet is engaged in various operations. I think it would be best if the portal intercepted us afterwards.”

"That's a good idea. Let's do it."

The carrier won't be able to pull out in preparation for the battle against the Stigmatiz Empire. Even if it's an interceptor, you can save money by sending only the number of enemies you see instead of dispersing them all over the place.

“I have a concern.”

What?

“Announcer's flight speed is pretty fast. Currently, only Raven Special Fighter Scout high boosts can be tracked on our planes."

Is it that fast?

My Balmunk fleet has a Raven reconnaissance fighter deployed to operate the portal. Currently, there are only about 20 aircraft in production, the majority of which are deployed in Balmunk. High spec, it's low because of the high cost.

Other than Raven, depending on the location, you may not be able to reach the intercept point in time to shoot down them.

If it's a good ambush, it's fine with an existing plane, but if it's not, it's out.

I'll send half of the ravens from Balmunk to you

We have a plan, too, so we can't give it all out. Diamante nodded.

"I understand." After that, if the prototype TF-3E, TF-4C, and both fighter attack squadrons can make it in time-- "

"Oh, like the Mage Flying Corps."

I gathered some magical pilots, and the T-Drive mounted on my Tyrant Spectre was formed with a Trovaon and Ghost prototype improvement machines loaded with teleport engines.

I'll leave that to you, too.

After reviewing the other requirements, I moved to Willidis Mansion on the portal.

It was a lunchtime briefing with King Emmanuel. The expedition to the Riviera has ended. The Great Imperialists have been banished from Riviera and have been transferred to the Sea Pang (provisional) that I have prepared, and I have informed you of the treatment of Prince Ganian.

There are not many things to say, but I try not to keep it a secret from King Emmanu. Later, when King Porose said, "I didn't hear it," it lowered my credibility. I don't want to be betrayed by mistrust.

After dinner, I returned to the Balmunk fleet.

It's time to launch an assault on the Underworld - the Stigme Empire.
