August 31, 13:00 p.m., 35th floor of the Orchid Tower, International Conference Hall.

"Then, I declare the 'Sisemliya Trade Conference' officially convened here. The chairmanship of the meeting will be undertaken by me, Henry McDowell. The entire session is expected to last five hours, with a break in between. Depending on the actual course of the meeting, there may be some extension of time. In addition, we have invited two observers to participate in this meeting. ”

Speaker McDowell turned to the independent secretary's desk on the side, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy beard and hair tied to the desk sat upright: "This is lawyer Ian Grimwood." There are active legal experts in Crossbell and the surrounding countries. Because of his familiarity with international and customary international law, we have invited him to participate in this meeting. ”

"First time we met, I was Ian Grimwood." Attorney Ian stood up and bowed.

"Oh, you're the famous 'Bear Beard Lawyer'." Olivebart, who is known for his ability to liven up the atmosphere, was the first to stir up the conversation.

"I heard that you have been actively involved in human rights and other issues." Archduke Albert took over.

"Hehe, please advise." Kolotia smiled slightly, elegant and lively.

"I'm going to do my job wholeheartedly." Attorney Ian nodded again and sat back in his seat.

Speaker McDowell then turned to the black-haired young man standing behind the main seat: "This is Arios Makein, a famous guerrilla who has performed great deeds in the surrounding countries. We invited him to represent the Guerrilla Association and to guarantee the security of this meeting from a neutral standpoint. ”

"I'm Arios Marclein, please advise." As an extraordinary powerhouse standing on the top of the martial arts mountain, Arios's momentum is not inferior to that of the heads of various countries.

"Haha, are you the Sword Master of the Wind? I hear your name a lot in the Republic. President Locksmith laughed kindly.

"I have heard from time to time in the imperial capital, and there is a "Sword Master" as fast as the wind in Crossbell." Osborne also looked approving.

"Don't dare to be." Arios is neither humble nor arrogant.

"So let's start talking about bills." Speaker McDowell cut to the chase, "The proposer, Mayor Dita Coroys, please explain and add." ”

"Okay." Dita stood up and said, "First of all, please open the information at hand and look at the original bill. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Garella Tournament War Room.

"The Imperial Liberation Front went to Crossbell???" Macchias' loud voice could be heard in the hallway.

"Well, at least that's what the Intelligence Agency seems to think." Sarah replied ambiguously, "There seem to be other terrorist groups infiltrating the Republic, and the situation seems to be quite chaotic. (Khan, this translation is awkward to read, and I wanted to change it, but I felt that it didn't show Sarah's sarcasm and distrust of the Intelligence Agency.) ）

"How can this be," Emma was slightly worried, "is there any countermeasure?" ”

"Of course, it seems to be being processed." Knighthar replied, "However, the matter is entirely the responsibility of the Intelligence Service. The regular army only knows that there is a trustworthy helper. ”

"Hey, little one, you should know something." Chloe's tone was as usual, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Well, I know, but I can't quite say yes." Miriam scratched her head (call you summer velvet hats, it's hot), "They're a very strong bunch, though, so I guess that's okay." ”

"Ryne, do you know anything?" Fei turned his head to look at Rien, who was out of the world and didn't react at all.

"Come back to your senses!" Alyssa, who was sitting in the back seat, smacked Rien on the back.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Terrorists are coming? Li En smacked up—

_-!!!

"What do you want!" Alyssa sneered, "This is the Garelia Fortress, how could terrorists come here!" ”

"That's not good." Dawn said softly, "By the way, why are you calling me?" ”

"I ask you if you know anything about Crossbell's side." Alyssa gave him a wide roll of the eyes.

"Yes, the trade meeting has already begun." I was watching the live stream with Celesti.

"Who asked you this!"

"Then what do you ask me?"

"You" Alyssa was so angry by Dawn's dazed look that she couldn't speak, her chest rising and falling violently.

"Alyssa-san, dissipate your anger." Emma reassured, "Here's the thing"

"Oh, a reliable helper." "Miriam, if I do, the Intelligence Bureau won't arrest me." ”

"No, you're not from the Intelligence Agency." Miriam laughed.

"That's good, that's good." Lane cleared his throat, "Miriam is referring to the Red Constellation. According to the association's intelligence, it was a hundred elites led by Sigmund who entered Crossbell. ”

"Red Constellation" Chloe's eyes darkened for a moment.

"Sigmund Orlando, a master who does not lose to the God of Fighting, is known as "War Ghost"." Fei's body tensed instantly.

"I see." Sarah thoughtfully, "Big order, Noe Brown, and the employer is "Iron Prime Minister", so that everything can be explained." ”

"By the way, in order to prevent sabotage by radical nationalists, the Republic has also entered into a pact with Black Moon, the strongest gang organization in Oriental Street. In addition, my senior brother "Sword Saint of the Wind" Arios personally sat at the venue, and the venue was surrounded by Yulia Shuwartz, the captain of the Libel Royal Guard, the ace of the Seventh Mecha Division, Mura Fandel, and the former head of the Taidou Liu's daughter, "Feiyan Hong'er" Wuxiang Loulan, and other master guards, which can be said to be impregnable. ”

"It seems that there is no need to worry about the safety issue." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. You know, their principal and student council president are both in the Orchid Tower at the moment.

"Okay, I've told you all that you know, instructor, shouldn't you also say something we want to know."

"Play the video now." Knighthar said as he pressed the remote control in his hand.

A man with gloomy faces appeared on the screen - G, a cadre of the Imperial Liberation Front, Kidion, the mastermind behind the incident on the Norde Plateau and the terrorist attack in the imperial capital.

Comrade G, whose real name is Michelle Kidion. He was a former assistant professor who taught at the Imperial Academy of Sciences in the imperial capital, specializing in political philosophy. Three years ago, he was fired from the academy for fiercely criticizing Prime Minister Osborne's hard-line line and distributing leaflets in public places. (Kondo's black history is definitely related to educators, Professor Wiseman, Associate Professor Yoachim, Assistant Professor Kidion, and Lecturer Thomas.) ）

Of the other three cadres, V may have been a hunter before, and S has also locked on a possible target, but the leader C is still shrouded in a fog of a map, and there is no trace of it.

The membership structure below the cadre level is unknown, the number of members in the organization is unknown, and the source of funds is unknown.

That's all the information Sarah got from Rect. Although the intelligence bureau must have concealed something, it is already benevolent and righteous to be able to tell ordinary students relevant information, and it is not good to ask for anything. (That is, you are the second generation who have this treatment.) ）

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At 15:30 p.m., Class VII, which ended its special course, finally ushered in the highlight of the trip to the Garelian Fortress - a visit to the train guns.

Because everything related to the train cannon is a military secret, before entering the exclusion zone, Knighthar reiterates the rules of secrecy.

At this moment, the ARCUS on Knighthal's waist suddenly rang.

"Am I Knighthar, Commander Varta? Someone want to contact me? Okay, please just take it. ”

"Mura, what's the matter, at such a time" I don't know what the other side said, Knighthar's face suddenly changed, "What do you say!" ”

"I see, I'll be ready on my side."

"Okay, be careful." Nate Hall, who hung up the communication, looked solemn.

"Something happened to Crossbell?" Sarah asked.

"Well, that's right. Not long ago, the Imperial Liberation Front used airships to attack the skyscraper where the conference was held, but it has now been repulsed, and everyone is safe and sound, including Olibat and the Prime Minister. Not only that, but the terrorists used illegal means to manipulate the "Guiding Network", took control of the defense wall, and it seems that they also sent out mechanical monsters. ”

As if to verify the authenticity of the last sentence, a loud bang suddenly came from the hangar area across the wall!

It was like a muffled thunder that blew up the entire Garelian fortress.
