Chapter 78 : Trent Rietta's civil war

A messenger arrived from an organization known as “Wind Edge”, to the old divine chapel located in Gazetta’s Patrucia Nost.

 

They aim to revolt against and overthrow the current government that was ruling Trent Rietta. Knowing details about the current anti-Gazzetta strategy between Fonclanc and Trent Rietta, they exposed the trade restriction plan of weakening Gazzetta.

 

“What’s the objective of your group?”

“We would like to seek support...”

 

“Oh, but…. for us to mobilize would have to depend on the information pa.s.sed to us, just hope that it would be good enough for consideration.”

“Is the anti-government organisation of Trent Rietta inviting us to join their intervention?”

 

It is clear that “Wind Edge” is trying to use Gazzetta, and it’s also true that the circulation of goods have stagnated due to the trade restriction.

 

“So what do the people here have to say on it?”

“So, do we go along with their plans?”

“Ah, but…”

 

But it might not go as they wanted to as Shinha had many spies hiding across the countries and he would be able to move the cavalry into Trent Rietta borders with just one order.

 

“First will be intel, do not miss even the slightest rumor. Go through all of Fonclanc and Trent Rietta’s information.”

 

 

Gazzetta’s territory spanned from down of the south coast highway, which was the southwestern part of Trent Rietta, to the highway north of the mirror moon lake.

 

Currently, both of these roads have a trade restriction blockade due to the containment strategy that came from Fonclanc and Trent Rietta, and in order to support this, regular soldiers are dispatched from it’s capital Rinval.

 

Fyolnar ~ 12th day of the water month, midnight ~~

 

“Enemy Attack~~!”

 

An angry voice resounded from the watchtower. Those that were asleep after their shift had jumped up awake, and even those that were in the dining hall while eating were beginning to rush out.

 

On the North highway near Gazzetta’s border, the Trent Rietta forces that were stationed there for the blockade were constantly worrying about whether Gazzetta would attack them.

 

“The scale of the enemy is...!”

“What happened to the communication with the sentries?”

 

“Checking for transmission interference~~No, there isn’t any….this is...”

“Hey, this kind of wave presence is...”

 

The flame arts which lights the surroundings began to disappear, and the weapons that were strengthened by divine arts that were to be used against the enemies became unstable as the strange wave presence enveloped the area. From the depths of the forest, multiple footsteps could be heard approaching. Not only were there human’s footsteps, there were also footsteps of beasts mixed in.

 

“It’s a Magical Beast raid~~!”

“There are mercenaries mixed in it, what in the world is going on!”

 

“I can’t use my divine arts, those things are modded magical beasts!”

“Send a message to the capital for reinforcements….”

 

The magical beasts of the wind edge forces began their attack on the confused stationed troops while they were being afflicted by the divine arts obstruction wave. The interception troops were centered around the offensive divine arts, and due to that being powerless against this kind of situation they were quickly swept off by the mercenaries.

 

“Raise your weapons! Those who can’t fight in close combat evacuate into the buildings!”

“A new group is approaching from the highway! There are tons of magical beasts!”

 

Those who were wielding the divine arts enhanced weapons began their counter offensive resistances, and some of them began fighting the mercenaries while others tried to attack the magical beasts with the least resistances.

 

The midnight raid of the outpost located on the North highway was a success, as the troops that were stationed there were annihilated overnight.

 

 

Fyolnar ~ 13th day of the water month~~

 

“The port city, it sure is lively.”

“It seems that bringing Odo was a good decision~”

 

It’s been 4 days since Valerie and her group had left the deep forest and had arrived at the Port city of Fonclanc. On the streets, the locals were conversing normally with Artless people, there wasn’t any shunting of the Artless as they thought.

 

“Ng, the capital might be different from this place….”

“I wonder, from the previous inn I heard that recently Sanc Adiet have been employing artless to work on the streets.”

 

Valerie dodged the oncoming patting on the head from Livona as Welsh came back after finding an accommodation for them.

 

“Is the cheap inn warm?”

“....it’s in a clean and good location. Ojou-sama, Livona let’s head to the inn with haste.”

 

“...? Did something happen?”

“I’ll explain the details later. First, we have to move quickly.”

 

Valerie and Livona looked at each other while an unbearable atmosphere was surrounding Welsh as they began following him into the alley from the main street.

 

 

The view of the mirror moon lake could be seen from the window of the 2nd floor room, Welsh was getting information from the merchant official of the trade a.s.sociation in the port city.

 

Early this morning, Trent Rietta’s army which was stationed at the north highway were attacked by armed combatants and were decimated. The organisation named “Wind Edge” had declared war against Trent Rietta’s government under the head of the Elfodoras house/clan?.

 

“What the! What’s Airzah doing for his own convenience…..”

“Shhh~~ please quiet down.”

 

“Is that information true? Is it confirmed?”

“I’ll go check on the authenticity of the information. You two please stay here and wait, try not to go out.”

 

With the conflicting information, Welsh was currently liaising in the room next door with one of the dark merchants.

 

 

In Officer fortress’s office, located in the hq of wind edge, he was a.n.a.lyzing all the available information in order to make his next action. As reports of soldiers gathering on the road within the west borders of Gazetta had arrived.

 

“Gazzetta’s army is heading for the lower outpost on the highway, the upper lookout is abandoned, let’s advance into the next phase.”

“Hmmm. Next is the capturing of Driadria, you have to capture it before the reinforcement from Rinval arrives….. Military officer.”

 

“Two battalions...I’ll show you that I can capture it in half a day.”

“Now then, after the Military officer’s troops capture Driadria, one corps will be reserved for the lower outpost, the rest will head towards the capital.”

 

 

The news of Gazzetta’s army who had successfully locked the lower outpost troops had reached the ears of the Wind Edge’s army, and after the troops had pulled out of the upper outpost, Military officer Benefost began his attack on Driadria with two battalions.

 

Originally, the Trent Rietta troops that were garrisoned in Driadria were little, the defence strategy determined by it’s commander was to abandon Dria and head to the mines of Rudia to wait for reinforcement from the capital Rinval.

 

However, the mercenary forces concealed themselves near Rudia mines in advance, and they began their attack and occupation of the mines at the same time as the Wind edge army attack. With their retreat to the mines cut off, the garrison was destroyed by the pincer attack of Benefost forces.

 

The declaration of capturing Driadria in half a day have gone by as Military officer Benefost headed to deploy troops on the highway to welcome the reinforcement from Rinval in order to divert the attention of the Trent Rietta’s army to them, while the main army marched towards the capital under the command of Financial officer Airzah.

 

 

In the royal palace of Rinval, the bureacrats one after the other had brought in bad news as King Cliffzard was scratched his head in troubled.

 

“Driadria had fallen! Currently a battalion size enemy force is deployed on the highway.”

“....it couldn’t even be held for a day, do you think that the reinforcement would be able to cope with it?”

 

“If the troops pa.s.s through the mines and the other troops advance on the highway we might be able to somehow manage it~~”

“I would like to report! The mountain mining road is impa.s.sable! Due to falling rocks the reinforcements have dropped by half.”

 

From that report the faces of the bureaucrats turned blue. The mountain route was an important transportation route connecting to Rinval which carries large amount of goods necessary for daily life.

 

The foolish move was smashed as the indignation of the bureaucrats could be seen while the King maintained his composure.

 

“Voicing out your grievance here won’t do anything. What’s the actual current forces of the enemies?”

“Unfortunately…..”

 

Currently, they need to confirm the status of the upper outpost troops and the occupied troops of Driadria and also the observation of lower highway troops.

 

“Haiz….. An organisation to have declared war against one country, how much of military power does it have?”

 

“My King, should we seek help from Fonclanc?”

“It might be better to recall the reinforcements that had been sent to Driadria.”

“Since the mountain road is sealed, there isn’t the need to worry of an attack from the back of the capital….could it be, the enemy’s forces aim was~~”

 

The bureaucrats began to panick and pick out people to blame as they became unorganised. Seeing that the King Cliffzard immediately ordered for the defence of the capital and the recapture of Driadria.

 

“Send a transmission to our allied country Fonclanc for help. Get the troops returning from Driadria to standby at the border. Prioritize the clearing of the mountain pa.s.s.”

“My King, wouldn’t it be better to leave the mountain pa.s.s blocked?”

 

Geographically if the attacks were to come from the highway towards Rinval, Fonclanc’s reinforcement would be caught on the flanks and from the rear.

 

That particular bureaucrat was considering to leave it blocked as the organisation called “Wind Edge” might send in troops through the mines, because the intention of “Wind Edge” might not be to attack Rinval, but the aim of making Driadria an independent state.

 

“It’s not an option to consider, I have a bad feeling about this. Their intent of camping on outside the borders of the highways to the capital feels like a trap.”

 

The bureaucrat had his head down as a response to the deep insights of King Cliffzard. But, in his heart he was apologizing to the family as he had failed to mislead the king. He was in fact from a branch of the Elfodoras Family.

 

“A person can’t be too cautious, proceed as planned. Whether Fonclanc’s intervention arrives first or the capital falls will be the key to this war.”

 

 

After Fonclanc received the distress message from Trent Rietta’s government, the selection for the reinforcement troops and commanders began in Volance Palace.

Reports of unusual movement from Gazzetta were reported by the dispatched scouts whom were first to arrive on the borders of Trent Rietta.

 

“There is a group of Gazzetta’s army gathering at the peninsula area of Trent Rietta?”

“Aren’t those guys suspicious at that location by crossing the Moon mirror lake?”

 

“This was reported by the neighbourhood watch organisation of the harbor city~~”

 

There is a tip that the head of Elfodoras, the founder of “Wind Edge” is currently hiding out in the port city.

 

“Hmm...is there a possibility of perturbation?”

“There is. However, I am more concerned about Gazzetta’s movement.”

 

The intel officer’s proposal to send troops to the port city was agreed by the palace’s bureaucrats. The prime candidate for these mission to dispatch reinforcements troops to Trent Rietta and an investigation group to the port city was of course the Darkness G.o.d Captain.

 

Not too long ago, he was the Princess’s follower without any achievements, many had opposed him to be a dispatch candidate, after the incident of the artless village raids and saving the Volce family, many of the other n.o.bles acknowledged him, thus Yuusuke’s activities were seen as an honor to the country.

 

Even recently his contributions to the Magical beast facility blockade was spread throughout the different countries. After thinking for awhile, King Es...o...b..s began to announce the personnel that were selected for Trent Rietta’s reinforcement and the investigation group for the port city.

 

 

“So the mission this time is the investigation and defence of the harbor city. Depending on the situation, we might need to support Trent Rietta’s reinforcement.”

 

On the second floor of the palace, in the G.o.d corp’s resting room (enlistees mess) which they rarely got a chance to use, the Darkness G.o.d Corps member gathered for a mission briefing by Violet.

 

The Darkness G.o.d Corps was appointed the mission of investigating the port city, as for the reinforcement to Trent Rietta, those with excellent leadership from the different corps were dispatched with Hivodir as the commander of the troops.

 

“King Es...o...b..s seem to be pretty planned to the appointment this time.”

“Is that so?”

 

They had even sent out the vice-captains of the palace corps as commanding officers to the battlefield. Vermeer a.n.a.lyzed that in order to improve the overall standard of the palace knights that didn’t have much experience, he had chosen someone without  regards to social status or divine power.

 

“Well, it’s that king, he should have a lot of confidence in his strategies.”

“Hmmm”

 

“This time it’s because of the failure of containment of Gazzetta, Dad seemed to want to aggravate the situation.”

 

King Es...o...b..s’ way to progressively increase his war potential had more or less left an uncomfortable feeling - up until now he had been using avoiding tactics by using the point of view from the Darkness G.o.d Corps and Violet’s group.

 

As they remembered, Krielov who was standing next to them had talked about the conversation that the king and Reifold had.

 

“To attain G.o.d’s pieces, competing for the supremacy of the world in the history of Kaltcio~~is it...”

 

Looking towards Violet. As the Darkness G.o.d Corps member happily converse with the flame princess.

 

“Somehow” all the current members of the Darkness G.o.d Corps were officially recognised, except for Sun and Sorzak, thus they were given their own authority if they needed to move the normal soldiers.

Thus during the prior few days, the members of the Darkness G.o.d Corps members were to select “their own soldiers” to cultivate their leadership skills.

 

“So in that case, the mission this time….the investigation mission in the harbor city, most likely would comprise of the squads of the Darkness G.o.d Corps members.”

 

This mission is to solidify the union of the Darkness G.o.d Corps, as Violet states, finally the Darkness G.o.d Corps had attainned its own forces. Whether is this just coincidental visionary talent or the karma of the “Evil G.o.d”, who knows?

 

“That said, Krielov go ahead and explain the details.”

“.....okay, the details. The main objective of the mission in the harbor city is~~”

 

Remembering the silly bickering of Violet and King Esvobus caused Krielov to become a little uneasy as he began to explain the details of the mission. The Darkness G.o.d Corps investigation group and Hivodir’s reinforcement troops will depart from Fonclanc for their mission the next day morning.
