The knight used his shield to shield the flames of the Flame Dancing Tiger, dodging the blunt dragon's tail full of thorns and catching the Armored Bear's charge. They use human ingenuity that Warcraft does not possess to cooperate with each other, and use their skills to survive many crises, but they have always been in a tightrope-like dangerous balance.

"We must not retreat! Settle them here!!"

It was Cadiaglia piloted by the squadron leader who broke the deadlock. The commander's high-performance aircraft was damaged in the clash with the Armored Bear. Still managed to defeat the monster that confronted him, and it fought back before its mech's mana ran out.

The battle ended soon after. The Knights, who had gained superiority in numbers, rushed into the enemy line in one go and won the victory. After defeating the last dueling-level demonic beast, the remaining medium-sized demonic beasts were also expelled one by one.

None of the squadrons that ended the battle were intact. At the very least, there was slight damage, three of them were half-destroyed, two were completely destroyed, and they could not fight, which can be said to be a narrow victory, but they still achieved the task perfectly.

By the time they were safe in their neighborhood after the long battle was over, the sky was completely pressing. Accompanying troops from outside the combat zone entered the village and began to rescue the surviving villagers. Bonfires were lit around the fortress and improvised tents were erected to contain the wounded. The situation in the fortress was terrible, and the armored bears broke through the wall and killed half of the population of Dagne.

The surviving villagers expressed their gratitude to the Knights for arriving in time to destroy the village, and perhaps they also expressed their feelings such as "If only the Knights had arrived earlier" and "To mourn the dead neighbors". But the most important thing is that everyone is still alive. And they congratulated each other on their survival. This is a unique way of thinking for the people of Japan who have to live next to the "Warcraft". This extreme positivity, which can almost be regarded as cold, became one of the driving forces that supported them in the harsh environment.

In addition to the sacrifices of the villagers, the cumulative damage to buildings and crops was considerable. The Knights' mission is not just to expel the Demonic Beasts, as in the case of the large-scale murder caused by the Demonic Beasts, the Knights will temporarily be stationed to ensure the safety of the local area and assist in the revival. It is only in this emergency that the Phantom Knight will be used as a working machine with great power, and it will not be appropriated in such a way because it does not match the cost. In this village, the sight of a ten-meter-tall giant repairing a house will last for a while.

When the village was officially rebuilt, two Gardatoya, who were able to walk on their own, returned to the fortress of Kazad to give an order, which was to report the safety of the village and start Operation Fuxing. It is also necessary to request troops from the fortress to recover severely damaged mechs.

The rider drove the mech, which had only been dealt with in an emergency, and hurried while comforting his companion who occasionally had a short circuit. Nothing happened along the way, and it didn't take long for them to reach the forest near the fortress of Kazadxiu. Walk through here to reach the fortress. With good news, they chatted easily on the streets heading to the forest.

During the expulsion of the monsters from the village of Dagne by the squadron of the Vermilion Rabbit Knights, a shadow of an unaccompanied unit observes the situation from the forest. The man was covered in a cloth that melted into the forest, and it was extremely difficult to make out the exact appearance, but it could indeed be said to be a shadow.

Shadow left the scene when most of the dueling-level monsters were defeated, jumped on the horses tied nearby, and made quiet progress through the forest at an unhurried pace for a while, when he saw a certain hut.

The hut was originally an intermediate station used by hunters hunting in the forest. In order to avoid being chased by monsters and take refuge, this hut is made of sturdy logs, which are small but very durable. The dismounted figure knocked on the door of the hut in a rhythmic manner—and the door was slammed open after the lock was heard.

There were unexpectedly quite a few people in the cottage. Dressed in dark leather armor, everyone gathered around the table in the middle, as if they were discussing something. On the table is a map of the nearby terrain, marked with many arrows and notes. The figure who entered the hut slowly dragged down the cloth that wrapped his whole body—it was the man who had previously obtained the information on the new student machine in the city of Dreiser Academy.

"Captain, as expected, the Vermilion Rabbit Knights have defeated the Demon Beast. 」

"I think so, those knights are here for that. What about the size of the troops?"

"A squadron or so. 」

The woman who was called the captain by the man listened to the report and crossed her arms, and according to the information she received, the combat strength deployed in the fortress was about the size of three squadrons, so there should be two squadrons and new aircraft left in the battle.

"Okay, call back the guy who went out to investigate. Just go ahead with the plan – and do what you've been doing for a long time. 」

After speaking, the woman looked like she was out the window. Outside the hut there was a huge figure covered with vines and grass, and a fairy tale of the forest. The giants completely occupy the open space around the hut. The sheltered object was silent, waiting impatiently for the moment to start.

In the workshop of the Riding Gymnass Department in the Dreiser Academy, the forges are wielding their hammers as usual today. The noise of pulleys coming and going rang over their heads, and the roar of the noise was the final confirmation.

On the maintenance table in the shape of a huge chair in the workshop, there is a mech.

The chest armor is open from top to bottom, and it is in a state where you can freely enter and exit the cockpit of the airframe. The forgers who were still preparing the mechage just now dispersed, but one of the students walked through them to the mech. Rider - Able to manipulate phantom knights, possess the cultivation of being a knight, and is also a student of the Rider Gymnastics Department. After he got into the fuselage as a seat, he unlocked the lever on the corner and pulled it up hard. The sound of gear snapping overlapped with the sluggish sound of compressed air, slowly closing the chest armor of the mech.

"It's been a long time since I've felt this way. Trestal is good, but it's more reassuring here. 」

In the driver's seat of the finally repaired love plane "Gouyer", Dietrich leaned back on the seat to confirm his feelings. Ninety percent of the body was damaged - this unprecedented level of total destruction was given a new attitude thanks to the efforts of the builders. The cockpit was almost completely renewed, and the smell of leather from the new seats tickled Ditrich's nose.

"It's obviously reborn, but I didn't expect to suddenly hand you over. Mmmmmm......mm

The face that "swells well when you close your mouth" has a bitter expression. He nudged the joystick to make sure, and the new cockpit was left with only the old joystick, the signs of wear and tear of long-term use and the familiar feel made him feel confused, even against the wishes of the eldest and the twins, the new model had been decided to be managed by the Duke. He shook his head with a wry smile, shook off his confusion, and opened the lid of the microphone.

"Goyère is getting up, please leave. 」

Dietrich pressed down on the joystick and pedals, and Gouyer, who had changed into a new shell, continued to faithfully carry out his master's orders. The Mana Converter awoke from its dormant state, and the sound of the gentle air intake became sharper and faster. The magic director computer put the magic power supplied by the furnace into the magic spell, and the crystalline muscles contracted according to the special magic phenomenon, making a tense sound, and activated the giant knight. The knight in metal armor trembled slightly, and after several months of absence, the "red knight" once again stepped on the sound of heavy footsteps, and stood up strongly.

Gouyer walked out of the workshop. The shattered armor was rebuilt, undistorted and undistorted, reflecting a dazzling red glow in the sunlight. Since it was remodeled into a Tresthal counterpart during repairs, the interior changes were completely new, but the exterior did not change much. It's just that the back armament of the magic guide armor "Wind Blade" has been added to the back. Remembering the lessons of the past armament loss, this time he was equipped with four swords including those that were used at his waist, which can be said to be reloaded.

Guyer usually has a two-knife stream, and is an organism that attaches great importance to attack. Although it does not hold a shield, the armor from the shoulders to the arms is particularly thickened, which is more than enough to compensate for the defensive function. Standing next to the standard-sized Earl Campbell gives the impression of a tiger's back.

"Alright, I'm fine. Are you ready?"

Earl Campber, in front of the workshop, raised a hand in response to Dietrich. In addition to Earl Camber, there were two carriages and other familiar faces.

"Davi, ah, this phantom knight is the equipment of the school park after all, right? 」

"It's just for a moment, it's okay. Anyway, it's okay. Let's hand over a few of them, and the Duke will give us as many Gadatoas as we want. The school park will not be reduced.。 」

"It's not a problem...... well, forget it. This year's Riding Trainer Department continues to break the convention, and it's too late to say that......

Laurie, the head of the school who has been thinking about everything very much lately, muttered.,Waved his hand casually.。 Batson, who occupied the van on the side, whispered:

"Won't it be a little hard ...... the loading is over? But if you don't, you won't be able to stuff it in. 」

Including the one used by Chid and Artie, there were a total of three magic armor motobits on the wagon, which were fixed with steel wires. Even though they were smaller than Phantom Knights, with so much armor stuffed in, it could be said that there was no room for them at all. Just three airframes completely occupied the carriage.

"Three, do you want to bring El's too?"

"He's that person, if he just waits for us, he always thinks he's going to make trouble......

Kid and Artie nodded vigorously at each other. At this time, the boss loaded another carriage and called out to the two of them.

"Okay, let's take a trip to Kazadesius. Let's go!"

"That's it, Bart, I'll bring El back!"

"Oh-it's a rare opportunity, help me teach him a good lesson-"

The carriage set off quietly under the watchful eyes of everyone. The boss, a few maintenance crews, and the twins walked in the front, followed by the red and white Phantom Knights. Batson, who had stayed, waved his hand for a long time, and Laurie simply changed his mood and turned back and said:

"We're going to get ready to take over Gadatoya's modifications. Depending on the situation, it may be handed over to your younger siblings, so you must take this into account. 」

Everyone responded piecemeal, and the rest of the forgers followed suit. Even though many things have changed, they are still back to their normal lives like this.

This was about a week ago

There was a man walking on the street of the Dreiser Academy, without the slightest hesitation, to a corner of the city, into a plain house. Several people in the room looked surprised by the man's visit, and the tall woman sitting in the innermost part was also startled at first, but quickly sank her face, a sarcastic smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she narrowed her eyes menacingly and said:

"Oh, I didn't expect the 'country' envoy to come. It really scared me so suddenly. 」

The "messenger" was almost unmoved, and he stood still before the tall woman, and said in a businesslike tone:

"...... 'Kehir Shetaconnor', 'Your Majesty' has orders for you and your 'Knights of the Bronze Fang'. 」

"Oh, Your Majesty is so considerate, and is willing to call us 'knights'. 」

He ignored Keshir's ridicule and indifferently conveyed his intentions.

"Your Majesty is very interested in the information you have sent about the 'toy', and I have ordered that the physical object must be delivered. That thing is too extravagant for a 'Warcraft Guard', and it is valuable for 'my country'. No matter what means are used, you must get your hands on it, so that you can present it to Your Majesty. 」

The emissary's order was roughly expected, and Caishr shrugged.

"We just thought the mission was too boring, and it was just in time...... I was trying to say that, that 'toy' is also in a place called a fortress. Besides, it's huge, it's not as simple as stealing it, you know?"

"I understand, but I also said, 'By any means.'" His Majesty also has a ...... in his heart that you can use 'everything'. 」

For the first time, a heartfelt smile appeared on Cayhill's face. Just add a sentence - "like a carnivore that catches its prey."

"Hey...... anything. Does that also include the treasured 'Wende Padara'?"

"Of course, even 'bait' will do. 」

This unexpected answer made Cayhill's eyes widen for a moment, and the next second he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha! That's funny! Oh, the stingy Majesty is so generous this time! 」

From the depths of the emissary's slender eyes shot a gaze with deep persistence, but Kehir didn't pay attention to it at all. Her every move has always had nothing to do with her observations.

"Alas, the edict had to be taken from ...... manpower was ready. Please help me tell my Beloved Majesty that I will give him what he wants. 」

"...... good. Now those Warcraft guards should still be complacent, and it is inevitable that they will be negligent. I hope you will act quickly. 」

At this point, the messenger turned around and left as if he had done his job. Keshir, who saw her leave, said to the people around him with an uncontrollable smile:

"He's still the same, so unkind. Forget it, brothers, we're finally starting to get lucky after being driven out of this shitty country!"

"yes, if we make a difference, we win!"

The men around him were all arrogant. Cayhill deepened a dark smile on his face.

"Alright, let's take the 'toy' that the Monster Guard is proud of back to be a companion. 」

In this way, the "Bronze Tooth Knights" quietly carried out their activities while no one knew about this country.

The scene moves to the forest area "Aquil Forest" near the fortress of Kazadexiu a week later.

In the lush Aquill Forest, the time seemed dim in the middle of the day, and there was a heavy atmosphere of silence. The only forest avenue that is relatively open is a little sunlight that illuminates the surroundings somewhat. Beyond the reach of the sun, however, there was a group of people who were swaying in the depths of the gloomy vegetation. Dressed in unobtrusive dark armor, they bent down and waited for their moment. Except for the occasional chirping of birds, there was silence all around.

I don't know how long it took, but a shadow in the bushes quickly passed through. He wears the same dark armor as his creeping companions.

"Captain, there's news from 'Huilu': 'The hunter has laid down his prey'. 」

After listening to the report of his subordinates in a low voice, the head of the Bronze Tooth Knights, Kehir Chetacona, quietly instructed:

"Alright, brothers, are you ready? 」

The subordinate nodded, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the bushes, barely making a sound.

These people are known as the Bronze Fang Knights, but the average "knight" can't do this kind of stunt of holding their breath, lurking in the dark, and acting according to their plans. Calling them "Knights" is a kind of irony - they were originally known as "spies". The fact that they will be mobilized like this represents their purpose is not trivial.

The wild birds that had stopped in the trees chirped and fluttered their wings away in panic. Almost at the same time, behind them, a large object covered in the camouflage of assimilation with the forest was slowly preparing to rise. The thing that was five times the size of an average human took on its original form, and it was a giant of steel and crystals, the Phantom Knight.

The Phantom Knight, dubbed "Windpadala" by Cayhill and others, has many wonderful features: a smooth appearance, only partial armor, the monster leather inside can be seen from some places, two holes in the round head to protect the vision, and a hollow gaze swaying in the depths of the eyeball crystal. Such an unbearable appearance is unpleasant.

What's even more incredible is that Wendpadala doesn't make the noisy sound that is characteristic of Phantom Knights. The volume of the air intake device was muffled and muffled, blending in with the noise of the forest.

I don't know how to do it, the crystalline muscles that were supposed to make string-like screeching sounds barely make a sound, and the sound of footsteps is non-existent compared to other organisms.

A faceless giant with a thin sense of presence - in the dim forest, there is a vague existence like an undead. Keshir looked up at its hazy figure in the darkness and smiled maliciously.

"You've worked hard to get a killer out of late, so I'm going to ask you to show off your skills. Well, the war has begun. There is only one chance, only success, not failure. Let's do it!"

She waved her hand vigorously, and the three Winder Padaladines began to move quietly. The undead headed towards the forest avenue, where the two wounded Gadatoya were about to pass, that is, the knights of the Vermilion Rabbit Knights with the news of Dagne's village were about to pass by.

As soon as the undead spotted the knight's figure, they sneaked up from behind as if they had seeped out of the darkness.

Gadatoya's riders were not taken lightly. They seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, but in fact they were on the lookout for the demonic beasts that had sprung up halfway through the embankment. However, what they pay the most attention to is the sound. The more threatening the beasts, the greater the movement, so they are trained not to listen to any unnatural sounds. Because of this, they didn't notice that the undead were quietly approaching from behind under the sound of their own movements.

Windpadala, directly behind Gadatoya, made no sound. Quickly shorten the final distance. They hold cone-shaped blades called spikes. Pursuing extreme racing and stealth, Wende Padara's power output is below the level, and the armor is only better than nothing, let alone stamina. In a head-to-head battle, it would take about three prices to barely match a Dagatua. It's an assassin model through and through.

The Spike Sword was aimed at the "flank" part of the body. Phantom Knight's shoulder armor is thin, and at most it is covered in chain mail or monster leather. Moreover, in order to absorb the outside air into the furnace, most of the air intakes are located above the mana conversion furnace in the abdomen, and there is also the most vulnerable part of the Phantom Knight, the Rider, inside the chest cavity, which can indeed be said to be the biggest point of the Phantom Knight.

Windpadala grabbed Gadatoya from behind, and the blade stabbed into the flank. The blade, which is designed for piercing, easily pierces through thin armor and strikes the rider inside. I don't know if Gardatoya's riders recognized the situation and reacted immediately, but the giant's blade easily took human life. It doesn't react at all, and stops moving like a puppet with a broken string. Phantom Knights who lose their driving will not lose control like creatures. Seeing both Gadatoya stop, Cayhill let out a low chuckle from underneath the negativity.

"Okay, it's going well. Come on, let's move on to the next move, you guys are on track!"

Windpadala slowly lowered Gadatoya's body, and the soldiers emerged from the forest in twos and threes. In addition to being able to deal with Phantom Knight in one hit under certain circumstances, the Spike Sword has zero advantages - only the armor and air intakes are destroyed, and then the Rider Trainer. In other words, it doesn't have much effect on the Phantom Knight's functioning. As long as someone manipulates it, it can also allow Gadatoya to act on its own.

They quickly "packed" Gadatoya's rider and sat into the driver's seat without hesitation. In this way, Gadatoya became a real undead and slowly took a break. Ironically, Gadatoya, who is simple to manipulate, benefits the sneak attackers. Falling into the hands of the enemy, Gadatoya stepped forward as if nothing had happened, and Windpadala disappeared into the forest again. Step by step, the undead made sure that they were heading towards the fortress of Kazadshu.
