After the banquet.

The guests dispersed one after another, and only Yakumo and his party remained in the hall.

He was accompanied by Albiang's current Air Force General and Provisional Army General.

-- The former army general defected, and now he is a member of the aristocratic faction.

On the throne sat the dying James I, and next to him stood Wales.

"Lord Yakumo, Miss Norregi, please look at this."

After receiving a map from James I, Wales stepped forward and unfolded it on a long table.

The crowd gathered around.

"This is Newcastle and then ...... Here, in this valley, the rebel barracks are stationed. With the cliff in its back, there is only one entrance and exit, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"If the Dragon Knights were still around, we would still be able to attack from the air, but unfortunately the Dragon Knights have also defected."

Wales pointed to a place on the map, explaining the current situation.

"There are about three thousand people stationed in the barracks here, mostly the enemy's knightly troops, and a small number of magicians."

Raising his head and looking at Yakumo and Pache Valley, Welsh bent down deeply.

"Please, Lord Yakumo, Miss Norregi! I hope you'll be able to remove the nail from Newcastle for us! ”

"Hmm......"

Yakumo nodded.

"This is the port—"

Pointing to the nearest port to Newcastle on the map, Yakumo asked.

"Yes."

"Is that rebel fleet that I saw during the day just there? That Imperial Power? ”

Wales answered, and Yakumo thought for a moment and looked at Pache Lee.

"Sister Mu Q, I'm going to deal with this barracks, how about you go and help take the imperial power there? If the Imperial Power is re-controlled by the royal family, it will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the royal party. ”

"I don't know how to fly a spaceship."

Patchouli shook her head.

"So it's really going to be done. You'll need to send some crew with you, and you'll be responsible for getting the ship back when I get rid of the rebels there—maybe the Imperial Power has been damaged by the battle, of course. ”

"Thank you so much!!"

This time, James I slowly stepped down from the throne and bowed to them with Wales.

Afterwards, the Air Force General summoned more than a dozen experienced soldiers and asked them to follow Patchouli to the harbor.

When asked about Yakumo Mo. The answer is this:

"There's no need to send someone to follow me, there's nothing left there anyway."

After Yakumo and Pache departed, Valudo looked at the hall where there were only a few people left, and lowered his head and laughed.

◇

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

In a barracks in a valley not far from Newcastle, the lights are bright.

The rebel soldiers were drinking and merry, for the commander had said that a general assault on Newcastle would be launched tomorrow, and that all the nearby troops would be dispatched to destroy the evil, recalcitrant royal party in one fell swoop.

Until then. Albion will usher in a new era.

In order to boost morale for tomorrow's big battle, the officers specially allowed the soldiers to relax tonight.

At the top of the cliff, Yakumo sat on a raised rock, looking at the lively military camp below.

"Instead of recuperating before the war, you drank all night? A rabble. ”

"However, the royal family, which has been cornered by such a rabble, does not seem to be very good......"

All the countries of Halckinia, except Romania, which worships the ancestors and is religiously supreme. The political systems of other countries seem to be somewhat similar to feudalism.

Powerful nobles would be divided into territories by the royal family, and they would have great power in the territory.

Although this is the case. It is bound to weaken the power of the royal family, but it has been the case for thousands of years, and if the royal family does not divide the nobles who have meritorious service, it will definitely deviate from morality.

This time, however, most of the noble lords of Albion rebelled.

These nobles formed a force that controlled most of the country's territory and had a large number of private armies. Formed an overwhelming advantage in the face of the royal family.

However, it was not easy to unite so many nobles, and even if these nobles intended to establish a republic after overthrowing the royal family, the rebellion would never succeed without a strong leader in wartime.

"So to speak. There should still be a black hand behind the scenes. ”

Yakumo sighed faintly.

"According to the information received from Wales, there is no nobleman of such prestige in Albion......"

"Then, it should be the forces of other countries involved."

"Toristin, the next target after the successful rebellion of the Albigians is Toristine."

"Although Grumania and Torristeen are quasi-allies, they cannot clear their suspicions."

"Then there's Goria, I heard that their king is called the 'Incompetent King', how suspicious is it."

"As for the religious state of Romania, it is a country ruled by a pope, and the theocracy is supreme - oh! It's unpleasant to listen to. ”

There are too many questionable targets, and Yakumo can't be sure which country is behind the scenes for a while.

"Forget it, if you can't think of it, you don't want to, let's clean up the rebels in front of you first."

Standing up, with a flick of his wrist, a spell card suddenly appeared on his fingertips.

"From now on, set off fireworks—"

After the rune card was gently thrown out by Yakumo Mo, the surging demonic power rolled up a violent air current, blowing down all the surrounding trees.

"--ChaosFloterfly!!"

Yakumo is lost and does not separate.

Therefore, Yakumo Mo's current barrage can see both the shadow of the purple barrage and the shadow of Yuyuko's barrage.

Marisa once said that "fighting a barrage battle with the little brother of the Yakumo family is like facing a weakened version of Yakumo Murasaki and Yuyuko at the same time."

Looking up from the barracks below, a large field of beautiful red and white jade light butterflies suddenly appeared in the sky.

Countless butterflies of light flew in a radial pattern, increasing in number, and finally enveloped the entire barracks.

"W-What is that?"

"What a beautiful butterfly...... But are there butterflies at this time? ”

"Wait, that's not right! It's an enemy attack!! ”

Immediately after the initial chaos, alarm bells rang out in the barracks.

The soldiers, who were still drinking and having fun just now, grabbed their weapons in a panic and looked up vigilantly at the light butterflies flying in the sky.

After those light butterflies flew into the barracks, they suddenly exploded.

"Boom!!"

The rebels, caught off guard, were in chaos.

However, it is not over yet, the attack of the light butterfly is still going on, and gorgeous lilies have appeared on the ground again.

These lilies are connected to each other by pillars of light, forming a huge mesh of light.

The mesh began to rotate, and everything that was touched by the pillar of light, whether it was a person or an object, was cut as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

The rays of light that make up the mesh of light gradually change from "lines" to "surfaces", and the criss-crossing faces perpendicular to the ground radiate more rays from each other.

These rays of light turned into "faces" again, and so on and so forth, enveloping the entire barracks in an instant.

Beautiful, captivating, yet extremely deadly.

In the end, with the explosion of all the light butterflies, the entire barracks was razed to the ground.

Raising his head, Yakumo looked into the distance.

There, faintly visible, is a port burning in a sea of fire.

"Ah, Sister Mu Q also did it." (To be continued......)
