World Customize Creator Chapter 26

The Civil war turmoil within the Fortress City of Paula began unnoticed as the majority of the populace was fast asleep. On the second floor pa.s.sages, within the great walls where the Water Mirror HQ lies, the elites team of Izapnar were poised to launch their raid, which was followed by a battle proceeding the G.o.d militia's ambush of the Water Mirror Camp.

 

Just before the raid was carried out, one member of the elite group, without any regards of any danger, had brought the attack information to the Water Mirror HQ.

 

"Ah, Mr.Zeshald."

"What's the current situation?"(Zeshald)

 

In one of the rooms of the Water Mirror HQ, those who were injured in combat were being healed. In the corner of that room, several water arts users were doing their utmost to heal one lady. The young lady who wore a burned uniform of the water troupe, had been burnt around her shoulders. She was the one who brought information about the attack.

 

"Currently, the pa.s.sageway is on a offensive and defensive stalemate, the girl has 3rd degree burns and our water arts can't..."

"Hmm, let me try..."(Zeshald)

 

Zeshald began to exercise his power of healing and the lady's skin started to regenerate instantly. The fact that Zeshald had mastered the healing arts, and on top of that, the effect of the sacred treasure added on, allowed him to display a miracle type of healing not known to the world of water arts in history.  

 

A burnt wound caused by fire arts which would normally take more than 10 days to recover, was instantly healed without leaving a scar.

 

"AMAZING......so this is the power of the sacred treasure!"

"Fortunately, had she not informed us about it, there would have been more injured allies."(Zeshald)

 

The Water Arts personnel rejoiced at the recovery of the lady, and one after another they began to carry the wounded into the room. As she was still unconscious they had left her on the bed. Zeshald began to heal those who had major injuries and at the same time he took over the command as the water mirror's military commander.

 

Since a while ago, Reifold had ran over towards the Queen Risha's location, thus the current situation was being transmitted immediately.

 

"Now then.....Yuusuke's reinforcements might not be able to make it in time."

 

Izapnar chose this day and this timing to attack as a strategy to make the most out of the geographical, force balance and weather advantages against the Water Mirror. Since the founding declaration of the Water Mirror, Fonclanc had also started to move. As the restructuring of the forces against the foreign enemy have not been completed yet, Izapnar had to use a way to seal and prevent the growing power by restraining the amount of forces the Water Mirror was gathering.

 

If the water mirror were to continue to have a substantial amount of force flowing to the Queen and if her forces were to stand in line with Izapnar's forces, the difference in terms of authority and the support from the populace within Blue Garden would reverse their positions in  power.

 

In order to prevent that from happening, he had to crush the water mirror no matter the type of method, be it brute force. The Water Mirror had expanded to a threatening size, and Fonclanc's troops were at the border at the same time. Due to the history they had with the Darkness G.o.d Corps, who were glaring at them from the border, he was forced into this situation.

 

The rain, which had continued to pour down for 3 days until yesterday, became a blessing in disguise for Izapnar.

 

 

"What's the current situation at the battle front?"(Izapnar)

"All according to plan., Belushya who notified them of the raid is seriously injured and currently protected within the Water Mirror Camp."(Volmes)

 

"Great, all that is left is to wait for the attack on Zeshald"(Izapnar)

"Just in case of failure, should we press on a little more?"(Volmes)

 

Izapnar replied "Yeah" to the proposal Volmes made. They continued their advance in order for the Civil War play to not fail in it's deception. At the same time, they had to eliminate all of the Queen's forces that were here in Paula, as they didn't have anywhere else to retreat to.

 

Just now, a scout who was monitoring the fortress on the border had arrived with news about Fonclanc's troops whom were getting to a sortie position. Currently, a part of the great wall is where the battles are occurring, it is also within the distance range whereby immediate reinforcement could reach by rushing with high speed horse drawn carriage. They could reach it in approximately 40 mins.

 

However, now the ground was in it's worst condition and the visibility during the dark night is bad. No matter how many wind arts were used as a.s.sistance, the wheels of the horse drawn carriage kept sinking into the mud under the weight of the many soldiers it was transporting, thus the speed wasn't very satisfactory.

 

Even if they had managed to travel at the normal speed, it would be around sunrise when they arrived at the vicinity of the Great Wall. By that time, everything would have been settled. For the time being, everything is going according to plan.

 

"Fufufun, It will be very interesting if I returned Zeshald's corpse in reply for Gearhawk Fortress."

 

Opportunities is what you create for yourself, Izapnar was convinced in this saying.

(TL note: I wonder if I should use Sun Tzu quote instead:" The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself")

 

 

"Captain! Please Wake Up, Captain Yuusuke!"

"O waa? What What!"(Yuusuke)

 

Yuusuke who had been working late all night and didn’t lay down until a little while ago was awakened by the Aisha who rushed breathless into his room.

 

"A Civil War in Paula! Zeshald's Water Mirror and the elite troupes of Izapnar had just entered a state of war!"(Aisha)

"!!! They had finally made their move."(Yuusuke)

 

Just as the Deernook Fortress began to fall asleep, due to the sudden change all the soldiers began to run around and the overall tension gradually increased . Yuusuke immediately took his change of clothes and began to change into his squad’s uniform which was prepared before hand for a sortie. His hard work had paid off, up til now he had been working until midnight on the new equipment that was meant for the horse-drawn carriage.

 

The moment Yuusuke arrived at the base floor of the fortress, the carriages which were fully prepared by the workers who were swarming the area were all ready to go. The soldiers were also all lined up and ready for the sortie. Hivodir clad in his flame corps uniform spearheaded the leading and instructing of the soldiers.

 

"You have finally come, Yuusuke, at last we can depart! Now, give the soldiers an awe inspiring speech."(Hivodir)

"I’ll pa.s.s. Fonke, are the carriages ready to go?"(Yuusuke)

"Please wait awhile, just another 2 more units."(Fonke)

 

While watching the retrofitting of the special modification to the soldier's carriages, those whose carriages were already done with the preparation had began to move. The special modification to these carriages, which enabled them to output a decent speed even if the ground was muddy, was the attachment of sled plates in place of the wheels. Yuusuke had been working til late at night because of these plates.

 

"Please wait a moment Yuusuke! Shouldn't there be a speech before departure? Also, this is my first battle!"(Hivodir)(TL notes: seems like hivodir really wants a speech)

"Well, then I shall leave that to you."(Yuusuke)

 

"What? Okay, leave it to me."(Hivodir)

"Make it brief."(Yuusuke)

 

With Hivodir’s speech as an BGM, the sortie preparations of Deernook Fortress were done and they began to depart. The clear sky  after the rain was sparkling full of stars, the smell of the wet soil and humid winds was stroking on the cheeks and hair along the jet-black cloak. Yuusuke who was finally awake from the sleepiness, took in a deep breath.

 

"The Preparations for the sortie have been finalized! We can depart anytime!"(Fonke)

"Yosh... let's move out!"(Yuusuke)

 

The Darkness corps and Fonclanc's military soldiers led by Yuusuke numbered a total of 50, their mission was to depart from the Deernook fortress and reach the Great Wall of Paula.

 

 

~The Civil War broke out in Paula.~

 

The battle between the Water Mirror G.o.d militias and Izapnar's elites troopers have been going on for about one hour.

 

"Emergency Report! A Convoy of Fonclanc's Military is approaching us!"

"WHAT! Have you checked it properly!"

 

Due to the sudden news of Fonclanc's approaching Izapnar army, he unintentionally let out a panicked voice,as it was far too early even for a immediate sortie to arrive after the start of the attack. Volmes began to issue commands for defense troops which were scheduled to be relocated towards the direction in which the attackers were approaching from.

 

"How in the world....no, it must be that strange divine arts of the darkness corps which could build a fortress in an instant."(Izapnar)

 

He began grinding his teeth due to the miscalculation of not applying common sense to the plan. But he still had the location advantage. The Great Wall of Paula is a barrier comparable to a 4 story building. It would not be an easy task to counterattack and capture from within the Great Wall.

 

"You have arrived, Volmes."(Izpanar)

"Apparently, Fonclanc's military have arrived a little too soon."(Volmes)

"Ah, but if they could not enter the Great wall, all will be well."(Izapnar)

 

As long as the battle with the Water Mirror rages on within the Great Walls. The fact that you can't help from the outside is unchangeable.

 

"A defense force have been placed to intercept them and to prevent them from approaching the Great Wall."(Volmes)

 

 

The moment they had a visual on the Great Wall, Yuusuke's group began to spread out. Immediately, the confirmation of multiple enemies from Blue Garden had been sighted.

 

"As I thought, the foothold is inferior."

"Captain, it seems that a squad of troopers have appeared from the Great Wall's top pavement."

 

"Are they the intercepting troopers?"

"Probably not, they seem to be using divine arts which specialize in bows."

 

One after another the soldiers got off at designated position and awaited for further command from Captain Yuusuke. Using the cover of darkness, the tension from the large force have started to loosen from Yuusuke, as he began to do a hand signal of advancement for the whole force.

 

The ranged defense troops whom were placed on the pavement of the Great Wall at the very last minute were all on alert. Attempts to contact Zeshald, who is currently commanding the Water Mirror army, through wind arts were all being blocked by a strong wind arts interference.

 

"It seems like there are occasional light from that small window on the great wall....most likely, that is the place where the battle is occurring."(Vermeer)

"It's not good to jump in unprepared, have the materials arrived?"(Yuusuke)

 

"It had just arrived, it is pretty heavy and couldn't really move very fast."

 

The stones that were used for the cornerstone construction of the fortress were all fully loaded into 3 carriages and had just arrived at the scene a little later than the soldier's carriages. Fonke who was entrusted with the command of transportation came over to report.

 

"Yosh, Let's Begin."(Yuusuke)

 

Yuusuke stared towards the opening which Vermeer spoke of as he opened up his customization menu and selected the stones from the wagon.

 

He use the technique which he send down the stones from the skies at Gearhawk Fortress. Using it he created a row of connecting square stones which allowed him to customize the "Fortress City Paula" as a group items directly from a distance.

 

The Great Wall of the fortress city is divided into several layers, the moment the corner stone was connected to the wall the tempering began.

 

On the pavement of the Great Wall above, there were Blue Garden defense troopers who were in position to guard against Fonclanc's army. On the place where Fonclanc's troops had gathered earlier on, beams of lights could be seen near the lower part of the Great Wall, where it seemed to come from a elongated stone pillar.

 

Volmes, who is currently taking command of the defense forces had read reports about the weird divine arts which the Hero of Gearhawk used, the divine arts would have a phenomenon of "pre-emitting lights", thus he judged that it was clearly a gimmick of something, thus he began ordering his subordinates to destroy the stone pillar below.

 

"What's up, quickly destroy it."(Volmes)

 

"Er, erm...."

"The fireball doesn't seem to have any effect on it!"

"Same results for the water lance!"

"The wind blades too!"

 

They tried using lumps of stones created by the earth arts and dropping on it, but contrary to its looks of being long and narrow, it was as strong as a large stone pillar.

 

"s.h.i.t....., what the h.e.l.l is it made out of?"

 

Just as the calm Volmes have started to feel impatient ~~

 

"..... OH NO! EVERYONE RETREAT!"(Volmes)

 

Including the location of the Great Wall where they just stood, the whole area began emitting light over a wide radius.

 

A downward draft wind from Bouzas mountain blew onto the Great wall. When the Great Wall was built, it had blocked the wind coming down from Bouzas mountain. For a long time, the earth facing the Great wall that had wished upon the caressing of the wind,  bathing in it for more than a dozen years.

 

For the first time, the earth on the opposite side was bathed in wind.

 

"WAAAA, WHAT THE h.e.l.l IS THIS!"

"What happened! Is it an enemy trap?"

 

A part of the great wall spanning about 100m on the left to the right disappeared, the internal of the structure became exposed from the side in full view. The pillars, floor and ceiling didn't collapse under it's weight as it had been further reinforced.

 

The Water Mirror troops and Izapnar's elite troupe who were currently in the ongoing battle in the pa.s.sageway were all suddenly thrown into a stage theater. The troops from both sides, who were under confrontation, were taken aback by the event when they saw Fonclanc's army.

 

"Mwahahaha! This is interesting!"(Fonke)

"Fonke! Stop it with that sinister laughter in the middle of the battle, it's imprudence."

 

Due to the current event, the whole army stopped their movements, only members of the Darkness G.o.d Corps were showing some actions.

 

"Erm, Full Force attack!?"(Yuusuke)

 

Because everyone seemed stunned, Yuusuke took the opportunity and ordered an attack. The Fonclanc army immediately headed towards the elite troops from Blue Garden who were inside the Great Wall, the first blow was sent out by Shaheed.

 

"OUCH! Argh, aaa~~~....~~"

 

Enhanced by the Darkness G.o.d corp's sword, the water ball which was amplified hit one of the opposing elite troupe members as he was dropped to the ground. In order to return that blow, the elite troupe scattered and hid behind the nearby obstacles and pillars, while attacking from the side.

 

"Captain, make a declaration as the Water Mirror reinforcements."(Isotta?)

"Oh, alright. Isotta, please use your voice."(Yuusuke)

"Yes."(Isotta)

 

Using her wind arts skill she secretly transmit it to a certain target, this skill allow her to amplify a voice wave extensively by using the surrounding area's air, this technique is called "Hiroden". Using Isotta's skill to amplify, Yuusuke's voice resounded around the area where it had become a battlefield.

 

"~~~ Ehh, This is the Darkness G.o.d Corps Captain Yuusuke, I come from Fonclanc. We are here to cover the Water Mirror’s Army, Best Regards.~~"(Yuusuke)

 

In that moment, the whole battlefield when silent.

 

"A~....Captain, should you say that now?"

"Yuusuke! No matter how tempting you shouldn't be using [Hiroden]!"

"Well, in some sense, it's so captain-like."(Shaheed)

 

Vermeer made a confirmation as he wiped of his overflowing sweat. "Why aren't there any introductions to my squad?" Hivodir pointed it out as he protested. Shaheed began to show understanding of the "Yuusuke-like" actions, Fonke wouldn’t stop laughing, while Aisha took an alert stance.

 

"There is no helping it, I have no experience and never took drama lessons before."(Yuusuke)

 

Rather than that, he took the enemy by surprise as their movements have stopped after [Hiroden], Yuusuke sure is defiant. Though it seems that it also stopped the allies' movement.

 

"In any case, we came from Fonclanc to dabble in the leadership of Paula and to cover the Water Mirror Army! Attack the enemies!"(Yuusuke)

"Roger that! Everyone attack the enemies!"

 

Yuusuke reissued his attack command. The one he had always rehea.r.s.ed was finally put into practice. Due to the distance, most of the people from the Fonclanc army couldn't deal killing blows, but in the drafty pa.s.sage in front of the elite troops were the Water Mirror army whom they were currently confronting, thus it became c.u.mbersome and absurd to attack.

 

"d.a.m.n it....where are the reinforcements! What happened to the suppression, at this rate we will all be eliminated."

"No this place is no good! Let's retreat to where there is a wall!"

 

The elite troupe began to retreat just in time before the Water Mirror troops pushed up front and chased them within the pa.s.sage. While Fonclanc's army sniped the elite troupe from far, in order to cut down the enemies' strength.

 

It became a shooting game with Divine arts due to the poor visibility as both armies were in the dark, but the elite troupe released a light divine arts to differentiate between allies and enemies. They didn't realize that Fonclanc's army was in the wilderness outside and hidden in darkness, all the while the counterattack for the Water Mirror forces wasn't given.

 

The defense troops whom finally arrived from the pavement above the Great Wall started to counterattack and intercept the position, but due to the distance their attack were inefficient, those who were hit directly only abstained some injuries.

 

The Sky on the east gradually began to change from deep blue to purple, notifying the arrival of dawn. While in a winning mood, Isotta felt a dangerous presence approaching the left rear of Fonclanc's army and issued a warning.

 

It was the same [Artless] presence that she had felt while in Deernook Fortress. Thus the other scouting units became wary and started to use their wind for a searching operation.

 

"From the left flank a cavalry unit is approaching! No wait...., the direction it's heading is the Great Wall of Paula, I think most likely the combat zone!"

"Even cavalry?"

 

"I can't feel the divine arts wave....certainly not"

"The cavalry is approaching! They...number 200!"

 

After hearing the reports of the 200 cavalry approaching, the soldiers began causing a commotion. The entire Fonclanc's army consciously turn towards the direction of the approaching forces, the approaching sound of horse hooves blowing up the muddy earth could be heard. And then ~

 

"[Artless] Warriors!"

 

From the darkness cutting through the lights of the horizon, a battle group of [Artless] equipped with swords and bows. The White corps appeared.

 

The white corps that suddenly appeared stopped about 500m south of the Fonclanc's army, away from the chaos. Once there, they began to arrange their ranks in a line. It seemed like they weren't going to be involved in the fight, as half of the horses were being led away.

 

Even so, a unit consisting of one hundred [Artless] Warriors, were taking up position in line as they glared towards the Great Wall of Paula. But as one looked closely, they could see personnel with red, blue and green hair; those with divine arts amongst them.

 

"~~~ We are white sword cavalry from Gazzetta. By order of King Shinha, we are here to a.s.sist our king's ally: the Hero of Gearhawk, Yuusuke.~~~"

 

The use of the wind arts, [Hiroden], from the Gazzetta army resounded through the area. Gazzetta is a nation whereby it's citizens have equal rights, it's lands were made up of mainly mountain ranges, with it's ancient capital guarded by its [Artless] king. There are rumors whereby they have a facility which fosters [Artless] Warriors within their territories.

There was rumors of the partic.i.p.ation of Gazzetta's [Artless] Army in the upcoming battle. Confusion spread across Fonclanc's army, Yuusuke felt so depressed to h.e.l.l like a cameraman's viewfinder, to deal with the situation and calm his feelings he opened up his customization menu screen.

 

He began organizing each and every piece of information he had, as the other side had said that they were here as an ally. He summarized that Shinha was being called king. As the overall person in charge, Captain Yuusuke used his firmness and calm att.i.tude to a.s.sess the situation, and from their declaration it seems that they weren't enemies, thus the confused Fonclanc's army gradually regained their composure.

 

"Captain, the servants would like to know how the communication with the Water Mirror is coming along?"

"Well, what about it?"

"Even without reinforcements now, the Water Mirror should be able to become the leaders of Paula at this rate."

 

Although it is said to be allies, the Diplomatic relations with Gazzetta were shallow, and there was uncertainty of whether the [Artless] corps would be partic.i.p.ating. In all honesty, they were most likely here to cause confusion. After Yuusuke consulted with his subordinates he replied the Gazzetta Army with [Hiroden].

 

"~~Thank you for the reinforcement. However, we are not going to have reckless sacrifices. Thus we hope you would stop and line up as a deterrence force.~~"

 

He issued a request command for the oncoming force to stop advancing. By the way, Hivodir was supervising the dialogues. The response from Gazzetta army goes like this, "We will be in favor as an ally in this battle, but our military command authorities have the goal to release our brethren that are held here."

 

"....this smells suspicious."

"Ah, they seem like a determined bunch."

"What does that mean?"

 

According to Vermeer and Shaheed, it seems that Gazzetta is taking the opportunity to invade Blue Garden by joining Fonclanc's armed intervention using the excuse of being Yuusuke's ally. While Yuusuke was listening to both of their opinions, a new [Hiroden] started to echo the surrounding area.

 

"~~ I am the Queen's immediate organization Water Mirror's leader Zeshald~~"

 

Now it seems that a [Hiroden] of Zeshald's voice from Water Mirror have been issued, the nostalgic voice to Yuusuke that came from the Great Wall.

 

In a dignified and heavy sounding voice, he began to talk about the Queen's policy of Blue Garden [Artless] protection policy and the future where the policies will be heading towards. Due to the small scale of armed conflicts, and the most of the personnels in the walls are civilians, he would appreciate if Gazzetta would stop their invasion.

 

Zeshald declared that he did not consider the Gazzetta army as a reinforcement of Fonclanc. Zeshald had also arrived at the same conclusion as Vermeer and his gang, and in order to restraint Gazzetta’s Army using the cover plan as Yuusuke's reinforcement, he used [Hiroden] again.

 

"~~Even with the same reasons of a war of liberation, it doesn't seem like you're on the Blue garden's side~~"

 

Gazzetta Army rebuked by saying so. Not observing the pretext of the Queen's protection, they declared the release of all fellow countrymen which are owned by the Queen. That itself is clearly a declaration of war. While a three way struggle of [Hiroden] began, the battle became lull.

 

"Didn't this become a little confusing?"(Yuusuke)

"Captain, it seems like there is a new force approaching from the mountain side of the great wall!"

"Blue garden's reinforcement?"

"No, it seems like.....the Queen's banner"

 

New troops began to appear from the mountain side of Great Wall, these were the combat troops gather by the queen's force in Kofta to a.s.sist in the civil war.

 

"~~ I am Blue Garden's Queen, Rishause Toole ~~"

 

The Queen's dignified voice echoed through the battlefield. She approved the Fonclanc's military intervention, while declaring that she will completely resist against Gazzetta's invasion. With the Queen’s personal appearance by using [Hiroden], all the soldiers regardless of affiliation who were in this place were cheering.

 

At the same time, using the flow, the supreme leader officer Izapnar used his voice and inspired a battle cry.

 

"~~ Comrades, this must be an invasion conspiracy of Fonclanc and Gazzetta! Attack the Enemies! ~~"

 

In order to restore the momentum of the Blue Garden's G.o.d militia, without including the elite troupe, which had seem to tilted towards her majesty's favor, he tried to steer the attention of the whole army by diverting it using a sense of crisis to the presence of predators. Izapnar is currently using his favorite technique which allows him to move people, thus reaching to the top positions he held today.

 

"~~Do not attack, stop this battle immediately. Izapnar pull back your soldiers. Prioritize the evacuation of the citizens.~~"

 

The Water Mirror Militia Forces and Izapnar elite forces were currently in a standoff in the pa.s.sage, while the Queen's forces move into a position where part of the wall which had disappeared in order to restraint the Gazzetta's army from advancing. The Fonclanc's army was all lined up on the side while looking at the Militia forces and elite forces glaring at each other.

 

Gazzetta's army which was further south of Fonclanc's army was staring intensively at the Great wall. Their current position was looking at the back of the Water Mirror's forces.

 

"What is this situation, it became very chaotic."

"......Erm, Yuusuke. Doesn't it seem to have become quite an awkward situation?"

"As you can see, it became a 5 way fight."

"No, it's not that."

 

"Looking at Gazzetta's movement, to bring their army to such a place, they are most likely trying to publicize their presence around the world,” Hivodir said as gave his own a.n.a.lytical speculation. Due to the fact that the other countries are also paying attention to this battle that is happening right here.

 

The antic.i.p.ation of Fonclanc and Blue Garden conflict turning into a war, using the basis of pretense, of helping the Hero of Gearhawk and invade Paula to release the [Artless] of Blue Garden. And by causing a large number of deaths to the divine arts users, citizens of Blue Garden, the expected outcome was that the [Artless] from various places would retaliate from their oppression.

 

In the end, the aim which Gazzetta was seeking was the salvation of the [Artless]. At the same time, it was to increase Gazzetta's national power and so that it's forces will also be enhanced.

 

"If it continues to go according to this, it would crushed King Esvobus's aim."

 

 

Within the narrow remaining walls of the Water Mirror HQ, Zeshald as the commanding officer of the militias was considering the aim of Gazzetta.

 

If Gazzetta were to be permitted to invade, even if it becomes a one sided battle, Blue Garden's internal dispute will not lessen. And in order to manage the internal conflicts, Fonclanc will be driven to a state of war.

 

In order to fight against Gazzeta, Blue Garden had to form an alliance with Fonclanc, but the possibility for that was low. Up until now, Fonclanc have been unilaterally suffering from Blue Garden. On the other hand, Blue Garden would be unilaterally suffering the damage if Gazzetta joins the fight.

 

The Queen was riding on a ruse of Fonclanc's scheme to throw Blue Garden into confusion. Both countries have too many reasons that could cause a strife. While Gazzetta was waiting for the 2 countries to be plunged into the worst situation and take advantage of it.

 

"King Shinha.....his aim is to overthrow the world using [Artless] and to secure Yuusuke."

 

 

In the middle of the Gazzetta Army, surrounded by all his subordinate soldiers, Shinha was carrying out the final confirmation of the strategy with his staff officers for the attack on Paula. It was his long cherished wish to revive the ancient white clan empire of his family, the quiet fighting spirit have began to take his first step onto the battle.

 

"When this war is over, will the Hero of Gearhawk be regarded as the enemies of divine arts users...."

(Shinha) (most likely talking to himself)

 

There is also the possibility that Fonclanc, in order to avoid hostility from the other countries, they might take actions to punish the Hero of Gearhawk. In that case, it is also a good way of disposing of him. To embrace death bravely or to struggle with death, in the end only death shall await.

 

-If he survived and fled to Gazzetta, everything would be good, at that time I will welcome him with my arms wide open.- As Shinha thought about it.

 

"The preparation for the a.s.sault is complete."

"Yosh.......let's begin with the wind art's a.s.sistance."(Shinha)

 

 

After listening to Hivodir's a.n.a.lysis, Yuusuke began to groan as he then realized the seriousness of the situation. At the same time a report came to him regarding the Gazzetta army, who had started casting their movement a.s.sistance wind arts. As it seems, they have finally started to march. From the a.n.a.lysis, Gazzetta excuse for the partic.i.p.ation in war would cause Yuusuke to be labeled as a traitor.

 

Their real purpose was to release the [Artless] who are from the same race, but the problem was that they have declared themselves as an ally of Yuusuke when they entered the battlefield. Yuusuke, had an accomplishment whereby he promulgated a regulation of protection on [Artless] in Sanc Adiet.

 

"Perhaps, he wanted Yuusuke to be chased by the Divine Arts Users around the world and to seek refuge in Gazzetta."(Hivodir)

"What the h.e.l.l! Why does he want to make it difficult for Captain!"(Fonke)

"Ther, there is no point in being angry with me."(Hivodir)

"o~mu...."

 

Hivodir became a target of anger to soothe Fonke who had lost his reasons of restraint, while Yuusuke puzzled over what he should do next. Yuusuke was surprised that Shinha was the King of Gazzetta, but as he currently was in a troublesome situation, there wasn't any spare time to be surprised about it.

 

"A guy like himself, doesn't seem to be a two faced snake."(Yuusuke)

"Er,erm......Captain, that person.......I can see him within the ranks."(Isotta)

"EH, Seriously!?"(Yuusuke)

 

Isotta nodded her head with an uneasy expression, as her green hair swings about.

 

 

"~~SHINHA! I know you are inside the ranks, so pull back your forces! We could discuss on how to improve the treatments of [Artless] at another time.~~"

 

The Queen's forces prepared for the invasion of Gazzetta's army, while the Water Mirror forces and Izapnar elite forces were still in a glare off compet.i.tion in the pa.s.sageway. As the tension heightened on the battlefield, Yuusuke once again used [Hiroden] from Fonclanc's troops to Gazzetta's army and echo the cancellation of the a.s.sault.

 

The Commanding officer of the White sword cavalry headed towards Shinha for consultation.

 

"Hmm.....Don't bother about it, advance." (Shinha)

 

Shinha lifted up the Large white Platinum colored sword which Yuusuke had repaired previously and issued an advance orders to the lineup towards the Great Wall of Paula.

 

~In the end, he is the same as the Divine arts users, unable to change.~

 

 

Fonclanc's forces could do nothing and watch as Gazzetta’s army began their invasion. If they were to attack Gazzetta's army who declared themselves as an ally, they would cause a huge risk on diplomacy in the future and currently there is no option other than using force to stop them.

 

"tch... to stand out like that so suddenly, isn't it foul play..."(Fonke)

"That's diplomacy, this is a strategic problem."(Vermeer)

 

Fonke curse and kicked the wagon, while Vermeer could only look frustratedly at Gazzetta's army. At the same time Shaheed was showing a sullen face towards Yuusuke for further instructions as Yuusuke's [Hiroden] was being ignored.

 

"Captain, what should we do?"(Shaheed)

"Don't Kid with me.....when did they became my ally."(Yuusuke)

 

Yuusuke began to mumble and grumble to himself, Aisha became worried about him.

 

"Captain?"

"Diplomacy, Strategies, foul play, common sense......FINE BRING IT ON!"(Captain)

 

Yuusuke looked up and ran towards the location of the wagons, as he glared upon the Great Wall to where the Gazzetta's army seemed to be heading towards. The wind, blowing from Bouzas Mountain, caused his Jet Black mantle to flutter. Every single one of Fonclanc’s forces began to notice Yuusuke roaring at Gazzetta's army, the white sword cavalry.

 

"I WILL SHOW YOU SOME REAL CHEATS!"(Yuusuke)

 

Using both his hands, he opened the Customization Menu. Although the customization menu can be operated with one hand, using both hands won't actually double his efficiency, it's just a matter to set the mood. Yuusuke had entered his so-called "Serious Mode".

 

"Vermeer, gather them around me! Do not let anyone to come through!"(Yuusuke)

"......Roger!"(Vermeer)

 

Vermeer realized the different atmosphere around Yuusuke and immediately executed his command without reaffirming it. The circ.u.mference of the wagon which Yuusuke got onto was being surrounded by the darkness G.o.d corps, while the soldiers surrounded it in protection teams.

(TL notes: something like first bound and 2nd bound in defense tactics)

 

"Hivodir, you will lead a group and encircle the Gazzetta's army. We will inform you the timing from here, your instructions are to restrain them as much as possible until the very last minute.”

 

"Wah, the difference in numbers is too great.....I understand, I will figure something out."(Hivodir)

 

Hivodir is a secretly prideful person, but in time of need he is one who would do what needed to be done. Although he was clearly aware of his fear of the overwhelming odds, he consented to the mission without backing out.

 

"Isotta, inform the Water Mirror using transmission to evacuate with the citizens to the mountain, right now."

"ye-YES!"(Isotta)

 

Rather than using [Hiroden] she used her normal wind arts transmission to contact the Water Mirror forces. It was how he had predicted, due to the chaotic situation, the wind arts interference was gone. She immediately transmitted the message to the Water Mirror Militia and reported it directly to Zeshald.

 

"DON'T UNDERESTIMATE GAMERS   SHINHA!!!"(Yuusuke)

 

Using both his hands he operated the customization screen at a very quick pace, a 3D object began to form rapidly.

 

 

Meanwhile, inside the HQ of Water Mirror, a shadow figure got up slowly, taking this opportunity to complete her mission~~~~~.
