In the year 1278 of the Western calendar, the season ushered in autumn.

Shortly after sunrise, a horse-drawn carriage appeared on the misty West Verrad Boulevard.

Most of the caravans were trucks loaded with goods, and huge figures could be seen around them. They are merchants operating in the Kingdom of Verrad and their guards, the "Merchant Knights". In the kingdom of Verard, even merchants need the escort of Phantom Knights. Because of this, the scene of traveling to and from various places with many phantom knights as if riding on a regiment has a common name such as the Merchant Knights'.

Basically, the so-called businessmen are very early and energetic. This is based on the belief that the faster they act, the more time they have to do more business. This does not change even in this season when there is often thick fog in the morning and evening.

「...... What...... there's something, stop!"

As the Merchant Knights slowly marched through the foggy streets, the Phantom Knights, the guards at the forefront, shouted a warning in a cold voice.

The caravan complied with his instructions and quickly stopped. The horsemen hired as guards are usually good at sensing the wind and grass, and when they sense something unusual, something unusual must have happened.

The riders on the escort plane did not dare to be careless, and their arms were stretched out to their waists to match their swords, because their vision was too blurry, and instead, they pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

The Merchant Knights ceased and fell silent. At this time, the voice of Fu from afar came to the west.

The rider on the escort frowned slightly.

His ears judged it to be the sound of horses' hooves, but strangely enough, from a distance, it was too loud. It's like a "huge, incredibly heavy horse" running.

Soon, the moving figure of the behemoth was faintly visible from the fog.

Something ran with a loud thud like a horse's hooves. It was impossible to tell its true face from the shadows alone, but the guards still positioned it as a demonic beast for the time being, drawing their swords and preparing for battle. They shielded the carriage behind them and circled around, trying to figure out how to get out. It was no wonder that they judged it this way, after all, the shadow that emerged from the fog was large enough to rival that of the Phantom Knight. Even if I don't understand this "something like a horse", I think the enemy must be a "dueling-level demonic beast".

Just as the escort plane stepped forward, trying to buy time for the carriage to turn around, the monster probably noticed their presence as well. It slowed down with a loud noise, then stopped as if confronted them.

The riders of the escort swallowed nervously. Even in the hazy fog, you can see that the opponent's appearance looks like a horse, and when you think about it, its movements must be quite agile, and it is likely to throw off the escort plane and attack the carriage first.

However, the tension didn't last long. Just as it thought that the monster was going to stalemate, it simply turned around and "Brown ——!"

The beast left behind the stunned guards, leaving behind a high-pitched, delicate hiss and flew away. I always feel like I've been put on a table for some reason. Even so, they did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and the guards did not dare to carelessly continue to be vigilant. It was not until the sound of horses' hooves could not be heard at all that they got back on their way and hurried to the next town.

Beginning with this incident, people have encountered mysterious monsters on West Verrad Avenue one after another. As the number of times increased, rumors about the wonderful beast that looked like a horse quickly spread in the towns along the road, even the Dreiser School City, where the Silver Phoenix Knights were located.

"I've been hearing rumors everywhere lately that a mysterious beast resembling a horse has appeared. 」

"Well, we've become celebrities!"

"No, wait, they don't know it's 'us', so they're not famous, are they?"

"Really, isn't it about the same?"

Two of them swayed their black hair and quarreled loudly, while another figure who was a little shorter rose to stop it, white hair fluttering in the wind

"How to say it, anyway, now is the right time, the trial is over, and I can't hide it anymore, so let's finish it. 」

They stood neither on the ground nor on trees, but with their huge bodies tucked into the metal blocks of the trees.

The armor is made according to a fixed process, and its enormity shows its status as a magic knight. In particular, its size is larger than that of ordinary Phantom Knights, and what is even more strange is that the lower half of its body is actually in the shape of a horse. In short, what they are stepping on is the true face of the Great Dao Demonic Beast.

"Is it finally going to happen?"

"Yes, to carry out His Majesty's orders...... Go and scare the hell out of them. 」

After that, the rumors of the "Great Dao Warcraft" that had been very popular for a while gradually subsided like a low tide. People don't talk about it anymore. When this rumor returned, it took on a completely different form.

Rumors of unknown origin spread along Avenue de Siverrad, while the "Fortress City of Duvreux", south of the royal capital of Kankunin, was quietly shrouded in heat. Doverle is home to the National Robotics Development and Research Workshop, the base camp for the development of Phantom Riders in Japan, and there are many facilities related to Phantom Knights in the city.

There are three areas in the development area, a large warehouse area where materials are stored from development to manufacturing, and a training ground for testing the movements of Phantom Knights. The scale of the training ground is also claimed to be one of the best in China. And now, more than a dozen Phantom Knights are standing on the field, they are the source of those hot air, and it can also be said to be a symbol of the meaning of the existence of this city.

The training ground is a more orthodox stone building - a rectangular space surrounded by stone walls on all sides, with some seats on the walls, and a forging yard attached to it. The phantom knights with unified bodies sat in the center of the training ground. The giants, each made of crystals and metal, remained on one knee, silently waiting for their master's orders.

Most of the bodies built are not ornamental, which is probably the ethos of the country. They have no obvious features, insisting on a sturdy construction that prioritizes durability and brews an atmosphere similar to that of Gadatoya. It's just that, on the whole, there are clear differences with Gadatoya. The shape of the armor is smoother and smoother, and the seams and divisions can be seen to be painstakingly worked, giving people the impression of neatness and refinement. It's no wonder that it looks similar, after all, it is a next-generation mass production machine based on Gadatoya and made with Tresthal's technology - these are the first model machines "Gadatoya Daxiu".

Gaiska, the first development director of the National Machinery Research Institute, Johansen looked at the Gadatoya Daxiu lined up with mixed feelings, they looked like Gadatoya's relatives, but the contents could almost be said to be far away. Except for the use of part of the metal skeleton, the others are newly made, and the parts that can be used are at most two percent, which also shows how many changes and hardships the forgers of their national machine research institute have gone through to get to this point.

For example, Gadatoya Daxiu inherited all of Tresthal's new abilities - namely rope-type crystalline muscles, mana storage armor, and backside armament.

Of course, it is not only equipped with new functions, but also carefully adjusts the position and weight of the muscles of the whole body, not only by replacing the muscles of the whole body with rope-type crystal muscles. Gaiska et al. found that although the increase in muscle output power will enhance the attack power, it will also have a negative impact on the handling performance.

As a result, they reduced the amount of muscle mass and maintained the power of the machine at about 30% higher than that of the existing body.

Since the muscles are reduced, the body has somewhat freed up some capacity. They replaced most of the mechs with Mana Storage Armor, further improving the mana consumption and savings that had been pending in Trestahl.

Not only that, the muscle composition that inhibits the output has been continuously adjusted by the almost obsessive forgers of the National Machinery Research Institute, and the handling performance of the repair machine has improved dramatically.

Now, the Dhastor has finally shaken off the lingering notoriety of the new Hummer and has grown into a tame meek body similar to Gadatoya, which has greatly improved most of the shortcomings that Tresthal had in the past.

The Gacka and the blacksmiths who were working on their jobs were in a wrecked way until the end. Surprisingly, they were all back-armed during the Terestal period, which had reached the stage of completion.

To put it bluntly, the elements so far have focused on strengthening the existing Phantom Knights, but the back armament is different. It's unique and mysterious, and it's too complete to be modified. Originally, just to analyze the "Produced by Elnesti", the magic director's computer was one head and two big, and the only thing they could do was to cry and copy it directly. Daxiu carries two magic armor "Flame Riding Spears" on his back, and their structure and movement control are imitations of Tresthal, which is also the part that makes the forgers a little dissatisfied - the last small dissatisfaction. In short, the flame rifle moves smoothly and achieves the goal of successful mass production.

Powerful power, enhanced armor, the latest technology, and the tame performance that can be said to be characteristic of the Kingdom of Verrad, Gadatoya Daxiuxia can be said to be the culmination of the technology of the National Machine Drill Development and Research Workshop, and as soon as it was revealed, many people, including the First Development Workshop, were deeply satisfied and confident, and even the generally narrow-minded Gaiska looked excited, and the others did not need to say more.

If it is the current Gadatoya Daxiu, it will definitely be able to be used as a next-generation production machine. It is a supreme honor for all forgers to be able to witness the birth of a new type of machine after 100 years. They have no doubt about the future activity of Daxiu and the great prospects of the National Machinery Research Institute.

In a building far away from the development workshop, a figure was looking out at Gadatoya Daxiu on the training ground. He is the director of the National Institute of Mechanical Research, Offa Blomdahl.

There was another person in the room. I don't know if it was because of the silence of Ofa or because of the silence of the visitors, the atmosphere here was different from the excitement of the training ground, which seemed distant and silent. Offa lowered the curtains and sat down behind the room's imposing desk with his shoulders bent.

"Such a good day should be celebrated together. 」

"Won't Your Excellency the 'Guardian' participate?"

"No, that noise is too harsh on our ears. Besides, it's too hard to disguise it all the time,"

The Gacka and the blacksmiths who were working on their jobs were in a wrecked way until the end. Surprisingly, it was a back-mounted armament that had reached the stage of completion during the Terestal period.

During the intercourse, another person stood quietly in the center of the room. Their temperaments are somewhat similar, either because of their facial features, or because they have the same fine blonde hair that gives the impression of that—or because of the long ears. It looks like the ears that can collect sound waves must have been hard work in such a noisy environment.

"Well, now that we know what our opponent is doing, we can't go on like this. I'm also the chief of this organization. 」

For the first time, the other man showed obvious emotion, and it was confusion.

"Your Excellency the Guardian really thinks these two ...... Is that the 'Great Dao Warcraft' of the rumored master?"

"I understand your confusion, and I'd like to be suspicious if I can, but during this time, rumors of Warcraft of unknown history have spread around the 'Dreiser-centric'...... It's hard to teach people not to doubt. 」

Oufa's slender eyes were also full of confusion, and he said with a wry smile.

"It's been quite a long time since the Knights of the Vermilion Rabbit sent Gadatoa to Dreiser. Prototype of the new machine...... Is it called Trestal? I don't think the makers have done anything until now. Hey, if the rumors are true, then they really did something terrible. 」

An indescribable sensation crept up Ofa's back. From the information gathered so far, you can know how unreasonable everything about this knight order is, and the true face of the "Great Dao Demonic Beast" is enough to confirm this.

"In that case, I don't think there's any need to stand still. Wouldn't it be better to strike first?"

As if to drive away the chill that followed him, Ofa shook his head and denied the man's doubts.

"No, we're not going to do anything. By the way, please don't forget to continue gathering information in the future. 」

"Is that good? I was so skeptical, but now I don't do anything. 」

"That's because I was so skeptical." Although I am not a knight, as a member of the service to His Majesty, it is called uninteresting to hinder His Majesty from having fun. It's just a little sorry for Gasca. 」

He was annoyed for a moment, then clapped his hands and said:

"By the way, okay, can you help me prepare for the activation of 'Alphonse'?"

"Ah, Alphonse, is it? Mean, you're going to fight them?"

"It's for the sake of refreshment. They seem to be several steps ahead of us. Since it's useless to struggle with the parts you can't catch up, let's make up for it with this. 」

「...... I understand. 」

The man bowed and quietly exited the room. Offa pondered on his desk for a moment, and then, as if he had made up his mind, stood up reluctantly.

"Well, if I don't show my face again, I'll probably say I'm too lazy to go out. It's hard for people who have a position to take care of. 」

He took off the turban hanging beside him, wrapped it around most of his head to cover his ears, and when he was ready, he walked to the workshop with heavy and tired steps.

It all started with an order from the king.

"'I would like to confirm the performance of the new model in the report, so we will hold a private exhibition in the royal capital of Kankunin, and the schedule is as follows......"

The people of the National Machinery Research Institute heard the news. Naturally, he triumphantly agreed. The performance of Gadatoya Daxiu is better than that of the standard mass production machines of the past. It's hard to make a comparison, but looking at the offensive and defensive data, they are sure that they can perform twice as well as the repair. In fact, this is not an exaggeration. The repairer has the ability to deal with most of the puzzles, and it is not a problem to fight. Although it shouldn't be able to compete with the knight governor's special plane, if it really has to fight, if the two sides are equal in number, the Daxiu machine still has enough chance of winning.

With the certainty of success, they sent a squadron (of the Cross) of Gadatoya Daxiu.

The royal capital is Kankunin.

The city takes advantage of the gentle slopes of the Aubigne Mountains to form a natural barrier, leaving a strong fortress style. The knights who protect the city are called "Knights of the Guard", they are one of the knights who protect the city, but they are regarded as a special case under the direct command of the king.

In Kankunin, there is their special equipment, and the exercise ground on the outskirts is also one of them, and the Phantom Knight unit that the National Machinery Research Institute has tried to do is heading there.

In the center of the exercise field is a flat ground surrounded by spectator seats, in the shape of a bowl. One of the corners is particularly high is the VIP seat, from which King Ambrose can be seen. Due to the private display, there were not many people present, including the Marquis of Joakim Serrati and the Duke of Canute Discode.

"Is it a new type of machine made by SINOMACH......

"yes, I heard it was based on that model machine. The details will be known next, but just listening to the general idea, you also know that the performance is far superior to that of Gatoya. 」

They looked at the unfamiliar bodies that had entered the exercise ground one after another.

Gadatoya Daxiu's movements were smooth, and he didn't feel a hint of stiffness. After looking at Tresthal, who gets out of control at every turn, you can see that this is a considerable improvement. Joakim generously praised the National Machinery Research Institute.

Around them, the audience had a lively discussion about the new machine. Even if they only had heard about the performance beforehand, it was enough to pique their interest.

"Oh...... This is a new type. Based on Gadatoya, it also has a powerful appearance like Cadiaria. Look at the magic guide suit on its back! It is said that you don't have to hold it to fire?"

"Not only that, but I heard that it is also on a par with the powerful 'Hymanwater' of the Vermilion Rabbit Knights. 」

"Hey, that one is also known for his strength in my country, and he is really terrifying. 」

The boiling auditorium showed no sign of subsiding at all. Joakim looked around at the faces and suddenly saw that there was no one among them who was supposed to be there.

"Duke Discod, why aren't they' here? After all, they have also contributed to the new machine, and I don't think Your Majesty will forget it......

Joakim had to interrupt the conversation because Knut next door suddenly pressed his forehead and looked up at the sky. He exerted great self-control and bitterly reluctantly squeezed out the answer:

「...... You'll soon find out that. 」

With that sentence alone, Joakim was completely sure that nothing good would happen next.

Ambrose Tahavo Verrad, King of the Kingdom of Villerad, looks down from the center of the VIP bench at the Phantom Knights juxtaposed on the training ground.

「...... And that's the result. What do you think, Your Majesty, and the new attitude of our country's famous standard mass production machine, Gadatoya. Compared to the previous models, Gadatoya Daxiu is slightly better in all aspects. To be able to make such excellent results, all the personnel of our national machine operation development and research workshop are proud of this. 」

"Well, it deserves to be the highest peak of my country's riding forgers, and it lives up to the name of the first place, well done. 」

After listening to the explanation of Ofa Blomdahl, director of the National Machinery Research Institute, Ambrose smiled. Behind him

Gaiska was terrified to hear it.

"No wonder you're so confident. Then, in this show, I have also found enough "opponents" to make them perform well. 」

Ambrose let out a meaningful chuckle, and Offa could only smile bitterly back. Without investigating the Offa in advance, when the others heard Ambrose say this, they would at most think that they wanted the Knights of the Guards to have a mock battle with them.

"By the way, you made the prototype from the student's body, do you want to meet the makers?" The people around him began to wonder, and the development of events seemed to be a little strange. They pondered, maybe the two sides were talking to each other. His Majesty's words were almost like saying that the opponent was-

"That one seems to mean to come to the competition, so that people from different backgrounds can bring their own works and compete with each other. 」

From somewhere there was the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of hooves trampling the earth. However, the volume was too heavy and loud for the average horse.

"Open the door!" They'll be here soon! O those who laid the foundation for the new machine, and who formed a new Order on my orders!"

The Knights of the Guards made a move and left the door of the exercise ground open. The massive door was wide enough for five Phantom Knights to walk side by side, and on the other side something could be seen sending smoke and dust rushing towards it. The incessant sound of horses' hooves did not intend to stop at all. Everyone held their breath and watched as something appeared on the other side of the door.

Ambrose raised his hand and announced their names in a loud voice.

"Come on...... Knights of the Silver Phoenix!"

"The moment 'that' appeared, the earth shook with the screams of the audience. 」

"What ......!!!—What's that!?"

Everyone in the audience, standby room, and others screamed and stood up. As for those who can't stand up, it's just that their legs are weak because of fear. "That" walked majestically through the gate with a series of earth-shattering roars and smoke. The "one" that stole everyone's attention was both a man and a horse, a giant horse comparable to a dueling-level demonic beast. The torso is as high as the shoulders of the Phantom Knight, and the thick limbs supported underneath seem to contain infinite power. Now, the huge, staggering weight was moving forward with a rhythmic roar. The most surprising thing for the audience was that the part that was supposed to be the horse's head actually grew a "humanoid upper body".

A special-shaped product that combines a man and a horse. It is supposed to exist only in mythology, and it is a new kind of "monster" that is different from Warcraft.

They finally regained their composure and understood it for what it really was. The steel armor covering the centaur knight, the single horn protruding from the forehead, and the handsome shape of the armor show that it is not a natural product, but a work of art created by man. In his right hand he holds a long axe spear, and in the other hand he holds a strange shield with a long top and bottom and a sharp tip. People couldn't believe what was going on for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it was man-made.

It's actually the same as the Phantom Knight.,It's an 'artificial giant'.。

A shiver of unusual thought ran over their backs, and they noticed that the centaur rider was dragging something. Hidden in the smoke and dust, the unidentified object was a sturdy-worked, steel and timber wagon, carrying a giant object covered in cloth. Cargo towed by a huge centaur knight comparable to a dueling-level Warcraft. Everyone had the same association almost at the same time - it must be the Phantom Knight.

"Hehe, hahahahaha...... That's what I'm looking for! It's unexpected, it's so funny, it's so funny!"

What brought everyone back to reality was the sound of Wang Langsheng's laughter. Only then did they remember the king's original statement - the founder of the new machine, the newly formed Knights, the existence of the Silver Phoenix Riding Order. They know that this is no longer comparable to the level of the new aircraft launched by the National Machinery Research Institute - just today, history will change.

The exclamations in the audience came and went, and Chid and Artie, who were driving the centaur rider "Zedolk", were unaware. They followed established procedures and proceeded with their post-arrival operations.

"Unload the truck, and let the junction go into a buffered state first. 」

"The final stage of the maneuver is the final stage!Put away the tow line, keep the distance and brake!!"

Viewers in the distance may not be able to see clearly, but now Zedolk has separated the four cables that connected to the truck and retracted them into his body. The truck's brakes then kick in, and the speed slows down. Sparks erupted near the wheels, and a screeching noise from friction resounded all around. At the same time, the connection with the auxiliary wrist gradually unfolded, slowly widening the distance between Zedolk and the truck. The carriage began to slow down and landed behind Zedolk, stretching its junction to the limit of its length.

"Distance 0k, final separation!"

The structure of the junction is exactly the same as that of the auxiliary wrist. One by one, the fixed parts of the front end were detached from Zedolk and, by the last command, folded and retracted, returned to the van. The brakes, which remained locked, slowed the truck down and quickly came to a halt in a cloud of smoke.

The "goods" that had not moved in the wind were moved shortly after they stopped. The steel ropes that held the cargo popped open with a gentle sound, and the giants stretched out from their kneeling position to stand up as the cargo was completely free.

Bright crimson armor bathed in sunlight and covered like a cloak to protect against dust. The ornately decorated mechage looked unfamiliar, with a magic guide uniform resembling a broad-bladed dagger on its back, and four swords on its waist. Standing behind it was a dazzling blunt white armored body, which looked like a prototype model, both asymmetrical and rough, but the sturdy physique must have been accompanied by great output power, as for the last one, it was the same type as the blunt white body mentioned earlier, but it was not even painted, showing the original iron color. At most, there is only a large layer of armor on both shoulders facing outward, stacked in multiple layers of armor in a stepped fashion.

While the three Phantom Knights stood up from the van, Zedolk slowed down in a large circle. At the same time, the blunt steel-colored mech stepped forward to greet Zedolk as he returned.

The exercise ground became silent unconsciously, so quiet that you could see a pin falling on the ground, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. All eyes were on the centaur knight and the three knights side by side.

Three knights came to the front of the VIP seats, then took a standby position and knelt on their knees. Emerging from the open chest armor was a young horseman at best, and a young man with a hint of youth at the helm of a steel-colored knight. The crowd in the audience could only freeze in their seats, not knowing how to react. In the silence, a sharp eruption of compressed air rang out. I saw that the centaur knight, who was kneeling, also opened the cockpit. It's not so much the waist as the back of the junction of the humanoid parts, which is equivalent to the armor on the horse's back being wide open, and out of it are a pair of young boys and girls, and for some reason there are two of them.

After confirming that everyone was in line, the boy driving the steel knight moved forward on behalf of all the people and made a graceful knightly salute.

"On the orders of His Majesty, the Commander of the Silver Phoenix Knights, El Nesti Etcheberia, and the First Squadron Leader, Edgar Edgar Brown, are in harmony with the Commander of the First Squadron. C. Blanche, Second Squadron Leader Dietrich Kuniz, and the newest centaur knight Zedork were assembled here. 」

Silver-white hair fluttered, and Al looked up, smiling all over his face. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a child who proudly shows off his toys, even though he looks almost like a child.

"Good work, Elnesti. I knew you had brought a lot of interesting things with you. I'm going to ask carefully what these things are. 」

Seeing the two of them let out an ominous laugh, the people around them had indescribable expressions on their faces. It had nothing to do with the position, it was just that no one present could intervene in the conversation between the two men.

The alien mech, which combines humans and horses, reflects light in the bright sunlight and gallops proudly across the exercise field. The massive iron hooves struck the earth, and every step was like thunder, shaking the eardrums of everyone in the audience. The people forgot to blink, and stared at Zedolk, the Centaur Rider, who was far from the human form, despite being the strongest and largest weapon ever wielded by humans.

Naturally, it's not just the audience who is paying attention to Zedolk. The horsemen of Gadatoya Daxiu, who were standing on the same exercise ground, also glared at Zedolk and studied it with great interest.

"Behold, Zva, what a wonderful, horse-like phantom knight. 」

"No wonder Your Excellency the 'Guardian' brought us here...... 'Disciples' should not be underestimated. 」

"That's right, but has Your Excellency the Guardian been put on a show? Not to mention our new machine presentation, it's just the other party's stage.

Hearing the laughter of the meching beside him, he also crossed his arms and glared at the centaur rider on the illusion projector.

"It's hard to say...... It's going to bring us in to show that it's not just being put together. It's important to start thinking about what to do with that thing now, isn't it?"

"I thought I had drawn a lot, but I don't know why...... It seems to be getting more and more interesting. 」

Gadatoya Daxiu's eyeballs sparkled, and he only cared about desperately forming an image, not letting go of any move of the centaur knight. The riders seemed to be far away from the noisy auditorium. What should be focused on is the enemy's posture, and what should be known is the enemy's movement. The battle was silent, but it did unfold.

The chaotic auditorium had no way of knowing the nervousness of the riders. Most of the guests present were princes and nobles, and their curiosity was all focused on the unique alien mech on the training ground, and of course, the Silver Phoenix Knights who made that monster. Despite the existence of an organization called the National Machinery Research Institute, a new group was formed, and the king's intentions were the focus of this group.

The average knight might not be so curious. About a year ago, there had been a large-scale attack from the outside, and they had heard of it. If it is to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, it is not surprising to add |, two mounted regiments. However, the Silver Phoenix Knights cannot be reasoned with.

Raiders, new machines, and new Knights. They're in the middle of a huge game of these pieces. So, what will the next card show? The dominance is in their king's hand, so they listen intently and don't dare to miss any movement.

The shock was like a violent thunderstorm, which came and went as fast as it came—only silence and cold air, not because of indifference, but because the people, though full of curiosity, could not confront the king to his face, so they remained silent and drifted around the VIP seats

It's such a unique atmosphere. Anshi Rose smiled and looked at the running Tandolco, and then suddenly turned his gaze to Offa beside him.

"I'm not surprised that you're surprised. 」

"Never. Although he had already heard that there were terrifying demonic beasts near Dreiser, he didn't expect that it was actually a new type of phantom knight. This situation really frightened the minister. 」

Complex colors flashed in Ofa's narrowed eyes, but they quickly disappeared before others could notice it. He returned to his usual coquettish posture and lowered his head, and his unmoved attitude seemed abrupt and even abnormal in such a turbid and restless atmosphere.

"You're still as well informed. Did Alphonse bring it all?"

Ambrose asked in a deep voice. Offa replied with only a look in his eyes and nodded slightly.

"The same is true for the new machines, and I'd love to take this opportunity to see how much 'they' are capable of. Don't think they're just stinking little ghosts, they've been through a lot of winds and waves. 」

It was almost like a whisper to himself, and I don't even know if it reached the ear of Ofa who was nearby, and if his "ear" wasn't like that, maybe he would have missed it.

"I think that such an opponent is just right for you, well done, and the stage seems to be ready. 」

"This is the minister's honor. 」
