"Your Highness, the fiery dragon is gone!" the observer reported to Jeton, who was standing on the deck.

"Gone?"

"Yes, there is a figure in the sky ... It seems to be the Black Sword Hime-sama. ”

"Is it Haruka?"

"Yes, with her is an angel from the heavenly realm. ”

"Understood, lift the alert and let the fleet land. Jeton commanded, and the massive fleet began to slowly descend to the ruins of the fortress.

When Haruka and Gardia arrived at the fortress, the Grand Prince Jeton and the general Elche were already waiting there.

"Lord Black Sword Hime, you're back from Artinia!"

"Hello, Your Royal Highness. Yao saluted to each other, and Gardia on the side also saluted them.

"Who is this?"

"This Gardia, the angel who acts with me for the time being. ”

"Yes, you're here this time... Elche on the side looked like he wanted to say something.

"I have a general idea of the situation now, everything happened so suddenly, I want to know what is going on on the Empire's side. ”

"I'm afraid this can't be said in a few words. Jeton said calmly, "Let's go, let's go to camp first." ”

Led by the group, Haruka and Gardia arrived at the camp where they were stationed, and a new defensive offensive was established on the basis of the original destroyed fortress that had been repaired a small part of the building that was still usable.

"Haruka!" Natalie, who was in the camp, saw him at a glance.

"Natalie, are you still here?" Haruka had expected her to leave the fleet and return to the Empire.

"Because I know you're going to come back here, I've been staying here and waiting for you. Natalie jumped off the platform and jumped in front of Haruka.

"President Gardia is here, too. She beckoned to Gardia.

"It seems that you all know each other, so let's go together, and let's sort out the current situation. Jetton said.

In the makeshift conference room, General Elche explained the situation in detail to Haruka, now the imperial fleet led by Prince Jeton has been listed as a rebel army by several major forces, and the third prince Hernán is regarded as the legitimate successor of the empire, in order to correct Hernan's throne, several other forces have sent a joint crusade here.

"Why did the emperor die suddenly? Haruka asked suspiciously.

"According to the news from the Empire, it seems that the second prince Zorn took advantage of the gap in the expedition of the Imperial Army to launch a mutiny, and the Praetorian Guard in charge of him put the emperor under house arrest, forced him to abdicate, and handed over the emperor's position to him. ”

"Jetton, I've gotten along with him before, and although I'm a little reckless, I'm not the kind of person who has this ambition. Haruka muttered to herself.

After that, the third prince rescued the emperor from house arrest and killed all the rebels. At the same time, the emperor, who had been imprisoned and abused for many days, soon died, and passed the throne to his third son, Hernan, before his death. ”

"Wait a minute, since most of the Empire's forces have gone on an expedition, how did Hernán defeat the rebels?

"It seems that with the help of the Temple, His Highness Hernán has always had a deep relationship with the Temple, so ... ”

"It looks like it's just a play to put the blame on Zorn. Gardia on the side commented with a smile.

"This seems to be a premeditated operation, and I am afraid that Hernán and the Temple have been in collusion for a long time. ”

"It seems that the Templars are very good at playing this kind of trick of taking advantage of people's danger, just like it did with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Natalie said silently.

"What the hell do those guys think, it's clear that now that the demon king has been overwhelmed by a large army, they are still wantonly fighting with all their might. ”

"I'm afraid it's precisely because of this situation that they can take advantage of the opportunity, for them, it is almost impossible to annex the Chamber of Commerce Alliance or the Empire in peacetime. ”

"Now that most of the Empire's forces are gathered here, if it fights with the crusading army, it will inevitably bring the entire human power to the brink of collapse. ”

"This can't be done, it's clear that even the Demon King Army is overwhelmed, if there is a civil war. ”

"But now we have no way out, either to attack the imperial capital, or to defend this place and fight the coalition army. "General Elche drew a circle on the map, and it looked like the battle could not be avoided anyway.

"Isn't there any other way? Haruka propped her head with her hands in distress.

"Alright, that's all for the briefing. Natalie got up and said, Haruka must be tired from coming from Altinia, give her some time to think about it.

"Alright, Lord Black Sword Hime, you go and rest first, and I'll discuss it with Your Highness again. ”

After saying goodbye to them, Natalie led Haruka and Gardia out of the conference room.

"Let's go, let's meet everyone?" Natalie led the way, and the group walked through the path between the fortresses.

"Everyone?"

"Hywig, Seid, and Headmaster Bislizi, they're going to be glad to see you. She laughs......
