Oufa bowed his head deeply this time.

"Until then, we'll have to explain where they came from......

Ambrose's whispers were not directed at anyone. Soon, there was a knock at the door of the VIP seat, announcing the arrival of the Silver Phoenix Knights. The room was suddenly filled with an oppressive atmosphere, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door panel.

The door that was often oiled opened smoothly without a single grinding sound. The soft carpet dented slightly under the footsteps of the comer. The Silver Phoenix Cavalry Regiment, which had just been named, was the Commander of the Knights, El Nesti Echechiria, and the Captain of the First Squadron, Edgar Lee. C. Blanche and Captain Dietrich Kuniz, the second squadron leader, were present.

The nobles present barely swallowed back the moans that almost came out of their mouths. Usually on such occasions, they have long begun to judge from appearances. The young men on either side, Edgar and Dietrich, were indeed excellent knights in terms of equipment and well-trained physique, but it was not clear that they had more value than the average horseman.

The problem lies with their commander, El Nesty. The first impression is that he is "young and short", and his silver-white medium-length hair sways gently with every step, and his girlish appearance matches his petite figure. Even if he is introduced as the daughter of a family, it is almost convincing, and it is really the worst joke that he is the head of the knight directly under the king. None of the people present had the eye to promote him.

Even bathed in a gaze that was almost overwhelming, he did not show any flinching. Those big black and white eyes

Instead, he looked directly at the king, with a firm will in his eyes.

"At the behest of His Majesty, I have brought the latest model machine 'Zedolk' and Gadatoyabeth Tresthal, who is equipped with the equipment of choice. 」

"Good work. 」

The content of the conversation further piqued the curiosity of others. Eighty percent of the time he said "Zedolk" refers to the centaur knights just now, which is quite interesting, but what is the other term "choose equipment"? Is there anything he still hiding that he hasn't shown-it can be said that they have completely fallen into the trap of the king at this time. The national machine research showed the hole cards, but the other party still left a hand, who is the dominant hand in the scene, which is obvious.

Ambrose knew all about the excitement and confusion around him, and he wasn't sure if he could hide the smile from the corner of his mouth, and Wang couldn't hold back his mischievous heart anymore, and his joy almost burst through his chest. Next is the time when the answer will be revealed, and it will also determine the future position of the National Machinery Research Institute and the Silver Phoenix Knights. The fanfare wasn't meant to be a prank—no, probably a little bit of a prank—but it was all for the sake of the discussion that followed. The situation has become one-sided.

Ladies and gentlemen, this child is El Nesti Etcheberia...... He is the grandson of Laurie, the head of the Dreiser's Horse Gymnastic Academy, and the designer of the new model and the Centaur Rider. Now, I have appointed him as the head of the Silver Phoenix Knights.

It was supposed to be like this-

「...... You, the kid, designed it......!!"

— until the man interjected to interrupt the king.

Gascar Johansen, the head of the first development workshop of the National Institute of Machinery, roughly grabbed his gray hair, and stepped forward with wide bloodshot eyes. At a glance, it can be seen that his mental state is very unstable, which is also clear from the fact that he dared to interrupt the speech of his top boss, Guoren.

"That's not right...... No!!, that kind of thing can't usually move. There must be, there must be some inside story, someone told

Yours? No, someone made it, right? No, it can't be done. What's the matter, ......!?"

He couldn't see his surroundings anymore, and his mouth was full of broken thoughts, as he kept closing in on Al. Seeing him so out of shape made Ambrose look of bewilderment.

(Oh, is the medicine too hard......?) I just wanted him to have a sense of confrontation. )

Ambrose was troubled for a moment, not knowing if it would be useful to stop it out loud, but seeing that Gaiska was completely in chaos, he felt that he could not communicate like this, so he simply gave up. Just as he was about to give the order to subdue him, he met the gaze of Al, who wanted to stop talking. The curious Ambrose closed his half-open mouth, again with only a look of approval.

Al turned to face Gaska, who was shouting something out of the question. On either side of him, Edgar and Dietrich tensed their nerves, fearing that something would happen. No matter how strong the dwarves are, they are still no match for the two horsemen in active service.

"Zedolk is equipped with two mana converters. 」

The distance between the two was within reach, and Al's whisper did reach Gaiska's ears. He let out an indeterminate "grunt!" and froze in place. At the same time, Ofa also opened his eyes with a rare look of surprise. After a pause, the people around him understood the meaning of Al's words, and their surprise immediately spread like ripples.

"Do you know why?"

Al asked, tilting his head slightly, a smile on his face. Gasca, on the other hand, remained in a stupid position and remained in place, taking a moment to recover.

"That's—that's ...... This, this is too huge, and it can't be sustained by only one furnace...... Do that."

Gaska muttered to himself, the light of reason finally returning to his eyes. To answer the question, it is "theory" that is needed. No matter how wonderful it may seem, something made with technology can be interpreted with theory and knowledge. "Centaur monster with two hearts" - this fact had a violent shock to him as he came to his senses, but then more questions and curiosity flooded into his mind.

"yes, that's how you can stay in shape. Only then will it not move. It's not enough, you—you've done anything else, right?"

"Well, of course, there are a lot of different points...... Alas, by the way, I'll illustrate it with a pinset diagram. Senior Edgar and Senior Di, I'm sorry for you. 」

Edgar silently opened the suitcase next to him with the realization that he had seen everything by now. Dietrich also wordlessly began to assemble the wooden frame he had brought and prepared the simple blackboard. Al quickly pasted up a few drawings, then smiled like a beautiful flower.

"I'm here to explain to you! First of all, infrastructure......

"Hey, slow me down, idiot, don't ignore me. 」

It was, of course, Ambrose who hurriedly shouted a halt a second before the briefing began. The people who were accidentally led away also came back to their senses because of this sentence.

"Please listen to me, Your Majesty, too! It's okay, I've got all the information I want to explain to you, so let's ...... it word for word and step by step!!"

"Where is it okay? I'll listen to you later, and don't put those away. 」

Edgar and Dietrich remained silent, neatly putting away the wooden frame and drawings. Al looked at it with deep regret.

"Gasca, you step aside. 」

"......!!ahh......hh It's such a gaffe......

"Oops, it looks like it's too strong. Forget it, now that you're coming to your senses, listen to it first. 」

Seeing that Gaiska suddenly fell to his knees and almost knocked his head to the ground, Ambrose responded perfunctorily.

"Poof, huh, hehehe......"

I guess I couldn't hold back. Ambrose sighed lightly at the laughter that finally rose to the side, and slowly turned his head.

"Offa, is it even you?"

"I'm sorry. Oh, I was still wondering what kind of kid it would be, I didn't expect it to be so funny...... What's more, the talent that can make His Majesty speechless is not something that can be seen every day. 」

Ambrose responded to Ofa who was smiling and bowing his head. The tension that had been felt until that moment had dissipated, and a sense of relief had emerged.

Ambrose pulled himself together and pursed his throat to change the atmosphere of the scene.

"That's right, it's better to go in order. Speaking of which, it all started when El Nesti became a Phantom Knight out of interest......

It was as if I heard an extremely unnatural term mixed in, but it was gently carried over.

"The follow-up development must also be known to you, it is the snatching of new aircraft. I don't know where the rats got the news, and it's a pity that the new machine was taken away, but fortunately the maker himself is safe, so I ordered the formation of the Silver Phoenix Knights. This is not only the knight order that uses this kid's creation and creation of a new Phantom Knight, but also serves as his escort combat force. 」

Hearing the reason for the establishment of the Phantom Demon Knights, everyone nodded at first to express their understanding, but then thought of a certain question.

"So I understand, Your Majesty, but since it's a knight order, wouldn't it be good to join our country's machine research banner? 」

Ambrose replied vaguely to Offa's central question, then looked at Al. The suitcase that Edgar was holding was somehow changed into Al's arms, and he couldn't wait for his chance to play. Ambrose stopped him with his eyes, a little hesitant to speak.

"After all, this kid is still a child. At first, I was worried about whether you would accept it...... Now I doubt that it will be right to throw him directly into the National Machinery Research Institute. 」

When everyone heard this, they found it inexplicably convincing.

"Seeing the Phantom Knights made by both sides this time, I think it's not bad to maintain their independence. This kid I call him a 'knight', but he's a freak on horseback, and I don't plan to let him join the official organization. Besides, this kid's 'work' is also a good stimulus for you, isn't it?"

The king's gaze made the dejected Gaiska winkle.

「...... As Your Majesty said......

"That's one thing, but there's something else. This kid's work is interesting and interesting...... It's not easy to use. Gasca, what did your new machine look like before the renovation?"

"Yes, this ...... Equipped with powerful musculature and shovel age device, it is an extremely powerful body. But, alas...... It has difficulty in maneuvering, and it is a fierce horse that consumes an astonishing amount and is difficult to control. 」

Hearing this, Edgar and Dietrich secretly nodded frequently.

"I think too. Eighty percent of the Zedolk planes were not piloted in any serious way. 」

"Why, it's just a 'tandem driver'. 」

「...... Hey, as you can see, El Nesti's work has many merits, but it is not mature enough. Anyway, it's like a rough gemstone. If it is not carved, it will not be able to exert its true value, and it will have the carving technology. Except for the National Machinery Research Institute, I don't think about the second person. 」

Offa struck the snake with the stick as if he had done it.

"Then Your Majesty, do you mean that the new type of machine they try out in the future will be 'adjusted' by us so that others can use it?"

"Honestly, that's what it is. Please, Ofa. 」

The people in the VIP seats, including him, bowed their heads in unison. In this way, the existence of the Silver Phoenix Knights was finally known to the world, and the name of El Nesti began to spread quietly among the nobles of the Kingdom of Verrad through the mouths of those who attended the meeting.

The name also comes with a note: "The head of the Silver Phoenix Knights, El Nesty Etcheberia, is not only an incredible developer, but also an unimaginable lover of Phantom Knights. 」

And shortly after the discussion ended

"Well, now that you know where they're coming, the next thing you're looking forward to is that centaur knight. Next, a simulated battle between the National Machinery Research Institute and the Silver Phoenix Knights will be held, and both sides should be prepared. 」

The Knights of the Silver Phoenix walked to the training ground at Ambrose's orders, and the gushing discussions of Gaska and El could be heard echoing through the hallways. At the end of the day, Mr. Gaisce is also a seasoned technician, and his thirst for unknown technology is stronger than anyone else's. Al who talks endlessly when he talks about his interest naturally can't stop before arriving at the workshop.

At this time, the initial excitement in the audience was gone, and there was a heated debate about the physical strength that the two organizations had done their best to make, which was no different from watching the excitement.

In a stable atmosphere, Oufa, who remained in the VIP seat, thought about the future direction of the National Machinery Research Institute. From the standpoint of the National Machinery Research Institute, it just so happens that it is equivalent to being removed from the important business of new machine development. At first glance it looks like a pretty big blow, but when you think about it from another angle, Dao is a good deal for them.

The somewhat difficult child was the focal point for the development of the new type of machine, and was also the head of the knights directly under the king. In other words, the king intended to take the reins himself. From the results of the observation just now, we know that although the child is talented, his personal style is very strong. It would have been much better to hand over such a hot potato to the king than to keep it by his side. Moreover, since most of the problems in his works have yet to be solved, there is still a chance for the National Machinery Research Institute to be displayed, and their status is still irreplaceable. Having said that, the thought of how to explain Oufa to his subordinates is still a little unmotivating.

Eurofa is quietly caught up in endless thinking. Even so, the sensitive ear did not miss the voice calling him. He raised his head and turned to the king next door.

"Oufa, in the near future, I will take him to the 'village'. 」

Sure enough—Ofa, who had a vague hunch, could understand the purpose of the decision, and he tried to keep a straight face.

"Your Majesty has high expectations for that child. 」

"The results are more than enough, not to mention the agreement has also been made - 'exchange the secrets of the magic transformation furnace with enough merit.'" As a king, I can't be untrustworthy.

Offa closed his eyes and thought about the actions he should take. Ambrose is by no means chasing ducks to the shelves, and it can even be said that he is too cautious in treating his subordinates with such an attitude.

"Since Your Majesty has opened Chrysostom, the minister will convey it to the 'Township' as a 'guard envoy', but the decision is made by the 'Elder', even if it is His Majesty's will, I still hope that you can obey the 'law'."

"Of course I understand, but when I see such an interesting guy, the elder won't refuse. 」

Offa replied with only an ambiguous smile. The two turned their heads to look at the troops that had begun to disperse on the exercise ground, as a symbol of the end of the conversation.

From now on, the simulated battle between the National Machinery Research Institute and the Silver Phoenix Knights will be conducted. In order to balance the combat power, the Silver Phoenix Knights sent a knight squad (three) and a horseback horse!

Against the backdrop of cheers, Ambrose loudly announced the rules of the battle. Among the troops arrayed in the exercise ground, Diehrich muttered with interest, in stark contrast to the lively spectator seats.

"Zedolk is regarded as the power of three knights, and one horse is equal to three infantrymen...... Does this ratio also apply to Phantom Knights?"

"Who knows. The current new aircraft of the National Machinery Research Institute is an improved version of our airframe, and there are three of them...... Frankly, the situation is very unfavorable. 」

The main combat power of the Silver Phoenix Knights is the modified Gouyer piloted by Dietrich, and the Trestal piloted by Edgar and El - based on Gadatoya. Speaking of which, even though the appearance of these three planes is very different, the content is still similar to that of the holding of Lestal. On the contrary, Gadatoya Daxiu on the side of the National Machinery Research Institute is a model machine that has been completely remodeled based on Tresthal. In contrast, the performance of the National Machinery Research Institute is naturally better.

"I'm looking forward to it! How 'obedient' has the uncontrollable Treestal become? The operation seems to have been greatly improved...... By the way, wait a minute, please let me take a look!"

「...... Ahhh 」

Seeing that Al unconsciously digressed, Dietrich sighed and shook his head.

"Forget it, we've changed a lot anyway. 」

The Ghuyer with a slightly larger arm circumference, the Edgar with the armor cloak, and the El with the mysterious additional armor, in fact, even their bodies are no longer the original Tresthal, and now they are all equipped with first-class selection equipment and have been strengthened.

"What are we going to do?"

"Do you want to fight those three?"

From behind him, Zedolk came the voice of the twins. Although this Zedolk is the strongest combat force of the Silver Phoenix Knights, it is also the most unstable element. After all, this is the twins' first time in battle, and it's hard to predict what will happen.

"Well...... If you want to play the safe card, you still have to ......."

"Regarding this matter, Senior Edgar, Senior Di, can you please mess around a little?"

The two of them smiled fearlessly in the driver's seat, listening to the instructions of their regimental commander.

Loud trumpets passed between the two side-by-side troops on the exercise ground, and a gong was sounded to announce the beginning of the battle, followed by loud cheers.

"Fight, start ——!!"

Taking this as a signal, the giant knight who shook the earth immediately rushed forward. The Silver Phoenix Knights took the lead. The three knights ran, Zedolk following with their speed. As for the National Machinery Research Party, the knight group "Alphonse", which piloted Gadatoya Suixiu, their captain Yannis snorted when he saw the movements of the Silver Phoenix Knights.

"Are you planning to assault at the same time...... or not, it's all expected. Swing out the wall of guns and move forward. 」

The two squads lined up in a side-by-side formation, all of them raising their shields and spears and marching slowly. This formation is clearly aimed at Zedolk, who resembles cavalry, and it is also a common method to deal with high-assault monsters. Even if the tip of the spear is not sharpened, the long-handled spear with a strong outreach is still powerful enough to deter the enemy.

The Silver Phoenix Knights accelerated closer, and Zedolke, who was behind the troops, pulled away from the side with a single horse, and began to gallop, Huai Bei chased after the three forward airframes.

"The second squad goes to the right, maintaining a gun wall formation. The first squad is ready to fight!!"

Zedolk began to charge, and Alphonse's forces split into two lines—those who raised their spears to meet Zedolk, and those who abandoned their spears and fought the knights. The Lance is effective against enemies who charge into our camp, but it is not good against knights who are good at melee combat. Alphonse's two squads performed their own duties and took advantage of their numerical superiority.

Most of the people watching the movements of the two sides also believed that the battle situation had been clearly divided into a clash between infantry and a battle against cavalry—until the next second, when one of the knights of the Silver Phoenix Knights had made an unusual move.

"Magic Jet Thruster, activate...... It is developed from the laminated casing and the intake air is compressed......

Suddenly, a strange sound that was different from cheers and rumbling footsteps began to sound in the arena. The rapidly gathering air swirled up in a screeching noise that was several times stronger than the intake sound of the Mana Conversion Furnace. This was emanated from the mechage of a Silver Phoenix Knight.

The blunt steel-colored body with a bare metal texture changes its configuration with additional armor on its shoulders and waist, turning directly behind it with the help of articulation that supports the armor. On the inside of the stepped armor, plate-like valves gradually open, making the interior of the overlapping armor hollow, and densely engraved with heraldic patterns.

Seeing this, the mood of confusion spread among the audience. Why move the armor? Wouldn't it expose the part of the protection? No one knew what the purpose of the device that kept making strange noises was. However, such a suspicious action naturally made Alphonse wary.

"That's ...... What?"

"He's concentrating the air...... Is it a magic guide that fires air bullets? It seems to be some kind of new weapon...... I don't understand. 」

"Zva, Idora, be vigilant in case something flies by. It's almost within range, and we're fighting back with our Wizard Suit. 」

The first squad, which did not have a spear, activated the back armament on Gadatoya Daxiu, and the second squad with the spear also activated the back armament. Zedolk, who was moving at high speed, was single-handedly balancing, and it seemed that he was about to enter the effective range of the magic guide armor. Strange things happened just before the flames of war were about to ignite. The blunt steel knight bent his knees and lowered himself to prepare for the attack. The body under its direct control faithfully reflects the meaning of the rider - Al, and unreservedly exerts the power of the rope-type crystalline muscles. The body kicked to the ground one step at a time, and at the moment of running, the body spewed out red flames, and the additional armor dragged a long flame tail, accompanied by fire and explosions, giving the accelerated body extraordinary propulsion. five times the size of a human being,

The behemoth of metal and crystals shoots out like a magic bullet and bursts out with overwhelming speed.

The flaming tail feathers only appeared for a short time, turning into a wave of heat just as the blunt steel knight was about to take the second step, blurring the space behind the mech, and the moment he stepped on the second step, the flames reappeared. Of course, the knights got a bigger boost from this.

"Jakes——!! be careful! ...... you!!"

Everyone was still panicking about the unknown situation in front of them, but the first squad leader, Yannis was the first to notice it. The speed of the blunt steel knight was already abnormal, even surpassing Zedolk, who was leading the way, and approaching Alphonse's troops. That's right, that is, "the second squad with guns".

"This ...... What the hell is this guy doing!? 」

"It's too late to shoot!!"

Faced with a blunt steel-colored knight with a speed comparable to that of a magic bullet, the second squad, which was all focused on Zedolk, reacted a beat slower. Even so, they immediately fired their Wizard Suits in an attempt to meet them. Despite the suddenness of the incident, the flying magic bullet still hit the blunt steel knights, which is enough to prove that they are skillful.

Squad 2 Leader Jakes had barely regained his composure, and asked him if there was a calm part of his mind that was sure his opponent would fall short.

The unusually fast surprise attack was indeed appreciated, but at that speed, it was impossible to dodge the attack. The enemy will be destroyed by his speed.

Sadly, the Knight of Blunt Steel performed more than he could have imagined. With its superior physical condition, it spends most of its training time on how to cope with high-speed combat, honing its reflex nerves and overwhelming calculation ability, allowing the body to react in a very short instant.

The additional armor on the shoulders of the Steel-colored Knight, also known as the Magical Jet Thruster, turned to the side in unison, sending out a short explosion and a flash of fire. In the blink of an eye, the body that was being subjected to lateral force changed its direction.

"Huh?"

The enemy's movements made the second squad stumble. The spell that had already been locked on had hurt them, and the spell only passed directly through the space next to the blunt steel knight, without even brushing the edges.

"Whoa

The white blade flashed, and as soon as the blunt steel knight passed through the left flank of the second squad, he slashed with a knife that was unmatched in speed, exerting the power of a dueling-level demonic beast to collide. At this point, the configuration of the shield in his left hand saved Philia on the left side, but the powerful impact still bounced his shield away, causing Philia to lose his balance and slowly fall backwards.

"Filia, I'll stop it, Yuf, you'll be there."

Jakes, the enemy is not the only one, don't act rashly.

The reminder from his comrades reminded Jakes of who they had been confronting each other against. The Centaur Knight was hiding behind the blunt steel-colored knight who was rumbling and exploding, and this time it was close in front of him. The dust was churning, and the menacing cavalry rushed towards them. The second squad, which had been disorganized by the knight's attack, was unable to meet it—Jakes quickly made such a judgment and shouted softly, "Get out of the way!" and barely avoided it. Yufji did not hesitate to do the same.

Zedolk cut through the space they were dodging and swung his long shield in his left hand at them as he brushed by, and Yuf also blocked with the shield to minimize damage.

Taking advantage of this gap, the blunt steel-colored knight who sped past tried to bring the mech to a halt. It steadied its feet as it turned the Magic Jet Thruster forward. This time, the jet lasted not only for a moment, but for a longer period of time, and the original speed was canceled out by the reverse propulsion. In the smoke and dust, the blunt steel-colored knight who emitted a wave of heat stopped moving, and when it slowly turned around, it saw the second team in defeat.

"Just kidding, aren't you......?"

The tragic situation of the second squad and the blunt steel knights who caused all this made the first squad completely lose their fighting spirit. They soon went to the rescue, but were stopped by Yannis.

"Calm down, the knight is approaching, and the current second team of the upper rescue, we will also be attacked from behind!"

These reminded them of two other 'infantry' blunt steel knights, whose overly ostentatious attacks completely distracted them.

"We're going to move forward right away. It's two-on-three, take down those two as soon as possible! Jakes, they weren't so easy to take down, and after the beating just now, they should strengthen their defense. 」

There was a bit of anxiety in his tone, but the three Daxiu planes still started to run, and in the blink of an eye, they shortened the distance between them and the Silver Phoenix Knights.

"Idora, watch out for that blunt steel-colored one!If you hear that sound again, hit it first!!"

Led by the Yannis machine and the zva machine, the knight ran and launched the back armament, and among the red and white planes of the opponent's Silver Phoenix Knights, the white knight stepped forward to meet the battle. When he thought the swarming bullets would hit it, the armor near the white knight's shoulder moved. The Movement Assist Wrist concentrates its armor in front of it and sets up its shield. The white knight, who was in a fully defensive form, did not slow down and bounced back all the magic bullets.

"So it's not an ordinary body......

"The blunt steel-colored one didn't move, so I had to take advantage of it now. That monster armor may not be able to cover the whole body!"

Alphonse's three planes continued to fire and apply pressure, stepping into the range of the sword. This time, the red knight sprang out of the shadow of the white knight - there was no shield, and it was an offensive heavy loader. It raised its hand and slashed at the zva machine with a gesture. Zva expected to fight with his sword, so he took a stance—unbeknownst to him, something flying out of the enemy's bracer with an explosion came at him. Ziva couldn't dodge this unexpected sneak attack, and was hit directly in the face by a metal block. The impact seemed to affect the eyeball crystal, distorting half of the image of the phantom projector in the driver's seat.

"How many weird gear do these guys have!!"

Taking advantage of the retreat of the Zva machine, the red knight pointed the finger at Idora and pushed him back, while the Yannis machine on the side faced the white knight, also temporarily distanced himself.

"Hit ...... Don't fall!"

Yannis gritted his teeth secretly, although Alphonse had the advantage in numbers, the red and white machines with special offensive and defensive performance were often difficult to deal with. At this moment, there was another strange sound of inhaling a large amount of air behind them, and the blunt steel knight moved.

"It's dangerous...... Idora, you stand behind. Zva, are you okay?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter! This account must be recovered...... It's going to be on!"

Alphonse went on the offensive again. The red and white knights also began to prepare for their surprise attack.

Rewind time to before the battle began. On the reddish-brown ground of the exercise ground, two forces that also possessed new Phantom Knights continued to confront each other without saying a word, but tirelessly.

In the center of the Silver Phoenix Knights' position, Zedolk, a centaur knight who is a head taller than the other Phantom Knights, can be seen. Its open vision reflected the appearance of the giant knight Gadatoya Tsusho, whose armor was more refined and neat than that of Gadatoya. The battle is about to begin.

Kidd and Artie in the driver's seat of Zedolk both looked like they were restless. They felt a different tension than they had used to when they fought with phantom crystal armor. Thinking about it now, I just fought desperately at that time, and I didn't think about any tactics at all, and I didn't pay attention to anything

Be polite and behaved. Instead, in this simulated battle, they have a great mission to show Zedolk's power. The huge gap between the two cannot be described in a few words.

According to Edgar's account, the enemy has six planes, and Zedolk is considered to be equal to three, which means they must outperform their opponents beautifully. Despite the considerable distance between the arena and the spectator seats, the twins had the strange illusion that all eyes were on them.

As his nervousness involuntarily rose, Al still said:

I have a reluctant request, Senior Edgar, Senior Di, can you please mess around a little?"

How could Zedolke's way of fighting have something to do with the two of them? But that's how he usually is, and he always speaks without a head or a brain.

You'll go out of your way to come up with an idea. Let's hear it. 」

Very simple. First, we'll have our own forces of Trestal and Zedolk test each other's reactions. They may be divided into two ways, after all, the tactics required to deal with Trestal and Zedolk are very different, and they will most likely adapt to our actions. 」

The white and red mechs and centaur riders nodded. It is still within the expected range to the Dao, and the other party should speculate as well.

"From our side, if we want Zedolk to use its speed advantage, we have to let it go it alone. Having said that, if the three airframes were to be matched according to the rules, Zedolk would be in a tough battle no matter how fast he was...... Therefore, at the beginning, he used surprise means to arrange one person to deal with the combat force that met Zedolk first. 」

"I see, does that mean you're going to volunteer?"

Edgar turned his head, and El was in the driver's seat of Tresthal, which was equipped with movable magic jet thrusters integrated with armor on his shoulders and waist. This modified version of the Magic Jet Thruster is also equipped with multiple miniaturized thrusters to make it easier to adjust the output. The movable design also achieves all-round maneuverability, which is quite a threatening equipment. However, on the other hand, the extremely tricky motion control is no longer a simple sentence that can be described as "burdening the driver". In fact, it has become a flaw that no one but the El can handle.

"Yes, I will use my maneuver to the fullest, disrupt the combat power of Zedork's side with surprise attacks, and then return to the battle between the knights...... I don't think it's necessary to say that the combat power of the upper riding will be much weaker during that period, and I hope that Senior Edgar and Senior Di can last until I come back. 」

The other party can't imagine such a tough combat method, only El equipped with the magic jet thruster can do it, and it is also a miracle strategy to deliberately break the balance of combat power. After all, the gap between the numbers of the two sides is still large, and this battle is too difficult for the strong.

"Well, I'll give it my all. 」

"Since it is the order of His Excellency the Knight Commander......

Edgar and Dietrich looked at each other and immediately agreed. The advanced model machine Katatoya Tashu made by the National Machine Operation Development and Research Institute should not be underestimated. Even if they agreed, the burden should not be as easy as it seems. "Is this the so-called leading the way, does that mean just follow the El?"

"Leave it to us! Let them see how fast Ozawa is!!"

It's the twins who let go of their hearts. They had seen the power of the Magic Jet Thruster, and they couldn't help but snicker at the thought of the other party's frightened reaction.

"Everyone is doing well, so let them be surprised!"

"Well, until you come back, I'll hide behind Edgar. Please, settle it before he falls. 」

"Dee, you ......"

Artie grinned, and a sense of relaxation arose. Both Kid and Artie's nervousness faded unconsciously. While Al is still as whimsical as usual, Edgar and Dietrich, who can keep him in check, are also there, and there is no more trustworthy companion than them.

Trestal and Gouyer, who were in a horizontal formation, winked at each other. The two of them had long been keenly aware of the reason why Al would arrange a strong attack tactic. Speaking of which, they are still seniors, and they are battle-hardened warriors, and aside from special cases like El, they understand that it is also one of their tasks to help the recruits win the first battle. When their morale was high, they ended the battle meeting, and the high-pitched horn that announced the start of the battle also sounded.

"Let's go, then. 」

The centaur rider in the center jokingly asked with a "brown" sound. As soon as the gong sounded to announce the beginning, the Silver Phoenix Knights rushed out together.

Now, El Nesti was in the driver's seat of the blunt steel-colored Tresthal.

"Well, I thought about it, but I didn't expect the mana savings to be completely exhausted. 」

El and his blunt steel-colored companions carried out a high-speed surprise attack using the Magic Jet Thruster. Although he succeeded in defeating an enemy plane, which greatly damaged the morale of the opponent, the end of his recklessness was to sacrifice a huge amount of magic power.

"It's okay to accelerate, but the problem is the deceleration. In order to avoid the "repeat of the mistakes", thrusters are still needed......" In light of the last "Meteor Event", Al realized the danger of letting the Magic Jet Thruster operate for a long time. In order to compensate for the shortcomings, he invented a more efficient way to accelerate with the short jet of the body, but this is only suitable for acceleration, and deceleration can only be done by brute force. What's more, in this extremely empty exercise field, there is not even a little thing that can be used to slow down. The reverse ejection of the Magic Jet Thruster caused a drastic mana drain, adding to the burden on Trestal who was already consuming a staggering amount of mana. As a result, of course, the movement of the El, which had run out of magic, slowed down.

"It's excusable, but there's only 20% of the magic left...... I can't do the same thing anymore. 」

The El-Plane was too deep into the enemy line, and its position was far away from the battlefield, and it would take some time to run back. The Magic Jet Thruster began to breathe in again, and the air swirled in, and the peculiar noise inflamed the tension on the field.
