With the collapse of the Bizhi Tree and the arrest of President Dita and Lawyer Ian, this final battle has finally come to an end. Although they failed to catch the biggest boss, Bell, and the Red Constellation Warrior and Shelly were picked up by the Red Constellation Raider who arrived later, in general, this battle that destabilized the entire continent ended in victory. And the names of Lloyd and the Special Mission Support Section have also spread their fame throughout the surrounding countries because of this battle, and as for other hidden figures, they have been deliberately concealed.

Not many people know about the final battle between Ike and Arian Hurd, but when Ling brings back the unconscious Ike, everyone is startled. There are many people who have the ultimate treasure power who disappeared in front of Ike, especially the people in the support department, and they couldn't help but be a little incredulous after seeing Ike's embarrassing scene. Only then did Vaji and Lixia, who listened to Lloyd's explanation, show thoughtful expressions, and they were able to defeat Ike with the power of the Treasure in the area of Crossbell, and only that legend could do it.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, I don't know if it was because of Ike's strong body or because of the final reward of the Saintess of Steel, after a whole day of coma, the next day Ike had already woken up, and what was surprising was that unlike the various sequelae caused by overdrawing his magic and physical strength in the past, Ike who got up from the hospital bed didn't seem to be bothered by these symptoms, and was so energetic that even he felt a little unbelievable. So much so that after another day, after a thorough physical examination to confirm that he was in good condition, Ike immediately chose to rush to Erebonia, not only because of the civil war in the Empire but also because after losing the defense system, it was almost impossible for Crossbell to stop the invasion of any country in the Empire and the Republic. Either way, it's important to travel as quickly as possible to the Erebonian Empire to learn about the progress of the Civil War.

Crossbell Airport, because it has not been completely repaired after being destroyed by the Red Constellation, and not long after that mutation, not only the airport, but also the entire city of Crossbell is extremely deserted. The citizens who can live in this big city have more or less the ability to analyze the current situation, and without the protection of Crossbell, they will be one of the Empire and the Republic... Even the two countries have joined forces to suppress it, so many people choose to hide in the towns on the outskirts of Crossbell, and if it were not for the closure of the border, they would even choose to flee abroad. And those who do not have the conditions also choose to stay at home and wait quietly for the development of events after that.

"How? With so few people coming over at the time of parting, even Ike must be lonely, right? Behind him, the muffled engine sound of the Merkava had already sounded, and when Waji gave the order, the Merkava would rise into the sky.

"Still as sharp as ever, Varji. Is that good? Leave Crossbell at such a critical time, and once the Empire and the Republic invade, the region will be in chaos, right? Without the protection of the church, something very serious can happen. Ike asked as he looked at Waji with a smile on his face.

"Well, that's why we, as church fighters, should leave." Waji replied, "If the armed personnel of the church are present, we will be in a disadvantageous position, our presence will only make the archbishop more passive, and our departure is the most effective support for the archbishop, after all, the old man, on the way, is more than a little stronger than me." Moreover, the sequelae of Valudo's body must be returned to the Codex Country to be treated. The most important thing is that the only one who can help Crossbell is always Crossbell himself, isn't it? ”

"It's true, but from what you hear, it tastes strange." Ike sighed, turned his head to look at Theo, who was also beside him, and touched Theo's head dotingly, "Take care of yourself, Theo." I've already told them about Rhine, and I can go to them if I need to ask him about Cross Bell. Just keep in mind that Crossbell will have a bad fate in the future, and you will definitely ensure your own safety. ”

"Yes." Theo nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Ike." Randy patted his chest and replied with a smile, "We'll be fine with Little Theo." ”

"With Randy, why do I suddenly feel worried about your words? . . .

"Randy's senior, as long as you don't cause me trouble, it's the greatest help."

"Agree, Randy."

"It's better than everybody! You're all done, aren't you?! Randy, who was devastated, couldn't help but let out a weak reply.

"Then again, what about Xiaoling?" Realizing that Ling, who had been following Ike, was missing, Lloyd asked a little strangely.

"Her words have already returned to the Merkava, after saying goodbye to Theo." Ike replied, "There's a familiar person on the ship, and Ling is taking care of her right now." ”

"Someone familiar?" Lloyd was stunned.

"Well, a powerful fighter." Ike replied. "Then everyone, don't leave it at that." Finally, he waved his hand at Lloyd Theo, and Ike walked onto the Merkava, perhaps because everyone knew that their future was not an easy trial, but in this case, it made the parting thoughts fade a lot. The fate of the Empire and Crossbell has long been linked, and no matter what, everyone will meet again one day.

"So, the target is the Erebonian Empire, right?" Waiting for the Merkava, as the engine warmed up, Waji, who was sitting in the captain's seat, looked back at Ike.

"Excuse me, Waji." Ike nodded.

"What, but although the recent civil war between the empires has caused a void in the defenses, even so, the Merkava cannot enter the central part of the empire with great fanfare... Is there any place you'd like to go first? ”

"Is that so? . . . Ike lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Merkava, can go to most of the Empire, right?" ”

"That's right, except for the heavily defended capitals." Waji nodded, "After all, in terms of stealth and speed, Merkava still has a considerable advantage." ”

"In that case, it's decided." Ike looked up at the large map of the Erebonian Empire hanging on the screen.

"Send me to the Nolde Plateau."
