First, we destroyed one of the Stigme Empire fleets heading for the Elves.

I have instructed the fleet to retreat to the Elf's town. Lasia looks back.

It seems that a small number of demonic machines have escaped to the ground, but aren't you going to clean them up?

“In my opinion, they're trying to rendezvous with their allies, not the Elves'?”

Yes, the direction of travel is rather the opposite of Sato.

Lasia turned to the console.

I'm using the terrain to escape.

“It's a tedious thing to spend time cleaning. It would be more efficient to leave it alone for a while and hit the rendezvous point.”

I have ordered the submarine squadron directly under the Balmunk fleet and the Valkyrie mobile cruiser squadron to follow the stealth and return the rest of the fleet.

Now, of the other enemy fleets aiming for the Elf's Land, one will arrive in the present airspace within ten hours and the other within sixteen hours. You can hit them individually, but you can blow them all up.

As I thought about it, the bridge elevator opened and Elder Elf Nim came in.

Jin-sama, may I have a moment?

What is it?

Queen Karen has requested a meeting with Master Jin.

The Queen of Elves to me?

This is the situation. The Elf's response to the Stigme Imperial Fleet attack must be confirmed.

"I've just been going through a few paragraphs, but is the meeting in a hurry?"

I can't relax very much because I have to deal with enemies coming up. If it's over in an hour, I won't have a problem taking a break.

"I think we should discuss the future as soon as possible. Even the elves seem to have a problem....."

Nim was speechless. For her, who often talks lightly and administratively, the atmosphere is a lot more cluttered.

“Okay, is everything all right now?”

I know you're gonna tell me to give you a minute.

“Yes, that's fine.”

...... lightly, now you say "OK". I've got a bad feeling about this.

The Elves know that the Stigmatize Empire is looming. Our new Elf defense fleet, provided by the Willidis forces, is also on a mainland defense mission.

"Nevertheless, that means..."



Fly to the aerial city of Vilya in the world's trees with the transfer magic. Visit the Spirit Palace and meet with Queen Karen.

Your Majesty

Thank you for joining us, Jin-sama.

The Queen of Elves knelt before I bowed. During the Apollo era, I was the one who liberated the Elves, and now they are treated like gods who made their ancestors independent.

For the time being, let's sit in each other's chairs and meet.

"Jin-sama, thank you for protecting our city for our elves this time." On behalf of my elves, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks. ”

Queen Karen was as beautiful as ever. But it seems that only a moderate mind is obsessed with it. I'm sure you're saddened by the threat of an outsider falling into our homeland these days.

“I'm sorry to always ask for your help, but I wanted to talk to you about the people of the Elves.”

"... let me ask you something."

I'm a little doubtful about what I'm going to tell you in the middle of this Don Palm.

"The people are tired."

"In response to successive invasions from outside enemies," said Queen Karen.

The Great Empire, and the Stigme Empire. Before that, after the invasion by the blue elves, the relatively outer village of the city was burned down, and many people were killed and injured.

Originally, the elves lived a closed life in an ancient tree forest, but they are tired of external invasions.

"We are with the tree of the world."

The queen bows her eyes.

"However, the enemy is aiming at the world tree and launching an attack." Even now, Jin-sama has left the enemy behind, but the attack is still going on. "

"There are three fleets of vampires on their way." Tomorrow we will engage two of them. "

Another fleet may be coming in a few days. But now that the world's trees have been scattered around the world and have moved to Sea Pang Island, the only world tree they have is that of the Elves. As long as the enemy keeps aiming for the magical resources of the world tree, you can assume that the city will always be hit by war.

The Stigme Empire, as well as the True Great Empire, will come to conquer them with their fledgling fleets.

And the people of the Elves are not accumulated after being targeted every time.

It's hard to tell Jin about the problems within the elves, but the opinions of the people are cracked.

And say that?

"Either protect the world tree and throw it away..."

It's not calm. I'm surprised at this. That's how exhausted the Elves are.

I'm in a tired mood, and I don't want to get involved in the war anymore.

An elf who declares that he is with the trees of the world. Until now, outside enemies have been firmly stopped! We will defend the trees of the world! - "The people were united in their hearts.

However, the impact of the ancient civilization's mechanical weapons attacked the enemy who had no weapons of their own, and he was thwarted.

Well, there's no one who can't win the battle. If I could at least pay you back with one shot, I'd be proud to have fought, but I hate to be crushed. It must have been unmotivating, and the mission of protecting the world's trees must have fallen.

We've provided them with a mechanical weapon that we can use against them, but perhaps their lack of confidence in defending the Elves alone is holding them back.

Sure, it's a serious matter. No matter how much the kingdom shouts, the people are unwilling.

"Of course, not all people want to flee the city." After all, the tree of the world is an indispensable part of life, and some people are trying to protect it even if they die. ”

However, the results will not be good for each other. However, there is no solution in this world that can fit everything round.

But then I came up with...

“So, what about moving from place to place?”

"Perimeter? What the hell is that...?"

Queen Karen opens her eyes. I answered.

“In the era of magical civilization, this part of the world with trees was part of a floating island in the sky called Apollo Island. After all, why don't you just float and move the Elves' town in the sky, just like you did then?”
