Chapter 32 Raspedo Castle Infiltration
Part 1. (Unedited)
"Fontanie"city, the home base of Jaruodeku kingdom's army east strategic point division.
Originally, it was a capital city of Fernando dukedom, a place that flourished as the part of trade route leading from the east-west highway.
There is a compartment zone in the corner of the city that had been constructed by the poised merchant.
In the past, It was daily basis crowded with a lot of people who were coming and going.
But now, the former prosperity has gone after the city fall in the hand of Jaroudeku kingdom, it is completely quiet.
The thing that had appeared in this place instead was a Tyrantor, Jaroudeku's army silhouette knight.
The black giant stands regards at such a town corner, sweep its crystal eye a vacant gaze, dominated every people who walk down the road with its sharp look.
[...When I came to this city at the first time, it was a hard time because there was too many people move on the road. then, what with this plight state? ...for the town that used to be overflowing with lively...]
Avoid the black knight's line of sight, the man with merchant cloth grumble while walking down the street corner.
If look at him closely, he doesn't look like a trader with the profession at all.
Leaving with trotting pace while avoiding the public gaze of the resident.
[I see, It seem like Jaroudeku kingdom is rushing stabilize this occupied area, but with this current state, they rather kind of missed a good taste, right?]
TN: Lacking of management skill.
A petite boy who looks like a nobleman manservant was wearing a low over one's eye currently walking next to him and give a supportive response.
The man kept his disappointed appearance while walking to the back of the street.
They proceeding to the low popular road and arrived at the old abandoned warehouse at the street corner.
[God grief, avoiding the public gaze is certainly inconvenient.]
The man with merchant appearance throw off his jacket and plunk sit down. disguised with leathery and hairstyle, Emurys, the second prince of Fremmevir kingdom was there.
Without a doubt, the one who wears a small dress is Ernesti.
They are boldly disguised as the merchant of "Silver Firm", sneaking in Fontanie.
To tell the truth, It is really not much meaningful cover since the economy of Fontanie is in a state of confusion.
[For now, I roughly understand the state of city and able to grasp the surrounding state of our objective, Raspedo castle.]
[Just leave it to the guide when it needs since this one already burned mostly geography of this town in the head. it was a common knowledge! ...then, how about it, shouldn't we moving soon?]
Then, Emurys turn his line of sight to the back of the warehouse.
This warehouse that previously owned by a merchant is quite a large stores in its own way, It has enough space.
It got deserted after clear out its goods but now a large systemic armor painted with dark green color had been arranged in a row instead.
They are disguised as a silver firm's "commodities", in the crowded box shape.
[As your command, the old silhouette gear (Motor beat) of your grandmaster excellency, under "re-modification" of our Blue Falcon knights. now, it's all covert specializes purpose silhouette gear. one platoon with twelve units in totals]
In the first place, the dark green silhouette gear here and there, "Shadow Rat" is a special silhouette gear that has been created for castle hawk knights sake which mainly focuses on intelligence activities.
TN: they certainly use "shirotaka" (castle falcon) not "aitaka"(blue falcon)
The one came up with this idea was Nora who was dispatched to silver phoenix knights as a liaison officer.
She witnesses the success of silver phoenix knights operation with silhouette gear and came up with a conviction that it has its own "professional".
The new weapon silhouette gear had the capability to provide covert support for those who are responsible for gathering intelligence such as Blue falcon knight.
That is "skilled in maneuverability, quiet while demonstrating a better large power output".
The difference between silhouette knight and silhouette gear mainly focus on the presence or absence of ether reactor than its different size.
At first look, it seems to be a disadvantage that there is no furnace, but actually, it was an advantage.
After all, ether reactor is something accompanied by a considerable noise in its operation.
For covert type silhouette knight that has been designed so far,
The internal mechanism that oppressed by the mechanism of suppressing the noise has set a major drawback extremely to a combat capability.
Silhouette gear doesn't have such a problem.
In the first place,
Silhouette gear is much less combat capability compared to silhouette knight.
However, silhouette gear warfare can be said that it was a deadly force for flesh and blood enemy.
It was the best choice for Blue falcon knight with its interpersonal mission.
Such a history gave a birth to Shadow Rat, now, as the core of this strategy, its ability is what it need.
[Then, everyone.... we will begin Kshyperuk royal rescue operation after today's sunset.]
Received Eru's instruction, everyone slowly nodded.
The operation of special forces that utilized silhouette gear for the first time in this world, begun to move.
Part 2. (Unedited)
The town of Fontanie went into slumber shortly after day fall.
The appearance of energetic merchants went soured and head back to their resident early due to the intimidate appearance of Tyrantor.
The remaining is nothing but a deadly silence and just a footsteps sound of the giants that occasionally break it.
While playing a faintly sound of driving the crystal tissue, The Tyrantor stand patrolling and look around with its crystal eyeball which is a visual device of silhouette knight but it did not mean that it can see thru the darkness.
For that reason, A torches have been placed here and there all of the street corner.
Without any person figure among the wavering light, the black knight kept walking slowly.
But that was a big mistake.
There are shadows galloping on the roof of the building connected to the Fontanie city without any sound making.
The one machine that advance to the top painted with dark blue tone.
Silhouette gear "Motor Beat"--- by utilized this craft, Silver Phoenix knights leader, Ernesti. Chid also Ady, all rode on the Motor Beat, chasing Emurys who riding on the Shadow Rat.
Apart of them are Blue Falcon knights who went over without a sound.
Under the dim moonlight, they have been turning into a literal shadow.
A steel skeleton frame supports the whole body, by uplifting the crystal muscle that connects to its limb, it keeps repeat leaping from building to the buiding.
The shadows group had continued ran without shaking also looking around.
To move the silhouette gear's arm and leg, there is a need to energy supply with mana of the pilot themselves.
Now looking at their pace, while running at full power, there is no a trace of slowing down or lack in motion which prove that all members here are considerably familiar with silhouette gear.
Before long, they ran through the city and arrived at the center of the town.
The robust towering walls that surrounded by a moat, the former royal castle, Raspedo castle. stood before their sight.
[...by our spies information, the royal family is held captive in the four sides standing spire of Raspedo castle. the uppermost part had become a prison, it appears that they were imprisoned there. out of the four spire, I do not know whether they contain anymore personal. because to hit all at once will consume our entire division hand.]
Chid who next to Eru along with Ady and Emurys lined up with their silhouette gear. each one of them will lead the divided platoon.
[Our most priority goal, is to successfully ensure the safety of royal custody. deal with anyone who stand in our way...but not necessary to entirely eliminated them. be quiet, be quick, please do it safely... then, let's go!]
Received the signal from the grandmaster, the shadows divided into four directions and fledgling without a sound.
Both Tyrantor and soldiers were placed on the surrounded wall of Raspedo castle as the security team.
But none of them aware the existence of silhouette gear that running in the dark night.
It would be cruel to blame them since the numbers of the black knight that guard the Raspedo castle are less than the numbers of Fontanie city' patrolling guard.
No one would expect such a bold enemy that coming all the way here to sneak in the home territory of Jaroudeku's army.
Silhouette gear that jumped out of the city took advantage of blind spot that darkness created with a flying momentum, rush over the moat with a directly jumped into the air.
An arrowhead fly upright while making a sound faintly from the arm's portion.
Drive by an atmosphere's explosion that caused by the magic phenomenon, the flying arrowhead is connected with a silver wire.
It was an equipment called a wire anchor.
The tip of arrowhead changing form into sharp scissor, reach and fixed itself with the wall.
As it became a reference point,
The silhouette gear acted as a cornerstone of the pendulum while jump over the moat in the area, one after another keep going and clung to the sheer wall.
Silhouette gear is a machine that strengthens a human movement with the power of crystal tissue.
Because it utilizing the strand crystal tissue that particularly strong output, it even possible to exert a force that greater than a monster that same size as human or horse.
Assuming a moat as an obstacle to silhouette knight, it had been rendered into a meaningless before this new weapon.
Silhouette gear that clung to the walls examine its surrounding state and stretched a large limb.
The tip of Shadow Rat's five fingers fitted with a sharp blade.
While hooked on the ledge on the wall, they began to climb the walls while displaying a surprising dexterity.
The walls are high up to 30 meters, exceed the height of silhouette knight itself.
The shadows reached and enter the top without any difficulty.
There was a sentry patrolling on the walls.
For Jaroudeku'army occupied Fontanie city without any much commotion.
The soldiers on sentry duty already lack vigilant and a restless one, they are already seen in a vivid plight state from their appearance.
His ear picked up a distraction, a sound like wind flows up from somewhere.
He halted and check around with a torch in his hand, light up the area, nothing abnormal.
While inspecting the surrounding not too long, he shrugged, turn his torch back to the previous direction and resumes his patrolling---A shrill rotation sound echo again, a dull sound kicking the stone walls.
During the time he turns the torch toward the sound, someone just popping out of the shadow.
the stick out blade painted with a matte black color, the shadow also stood against him without any sound.
The guard's death was confirmed with the very torch dropping on the ground, the shadow throws away the corpse.
Not only just him, the other sentries who were on the wall are quickly eliminated by the shadow that appeared one after another.
[No remaining enemy around.]
[From now on, we have to race against the time, let run through it at once!]
Eru's motor beat overlooking the courtyard from the walls.
Compared the wall's stringency with the city's monitoring, look like the inside was the negligent one.
Also less torch here.
There is still a much dark spot in the garden.
Seen it quickly, he casually jump out beyond the edges of the walls.
The shadows dancing into the air from the top of the walls of formidable height that surpass silhouette knight many times.
Motor beat should get inevitable destructed.
By no mean, he is not an extraordinary person.
While motor beat was on the verge touching the ground, it was displayed the magic phenomenon at its protruding hand.
Collecting the air and create a cushion with the magic "Air Suspension".
By relief all impact from the fall, the motor beat landed in the courtyard quietly.
Followed it, a shadow figure has been falling one after another.
The limb of Shadow Rat made from a special structure, wrapped with a powerful strand type crystal tissue joint that divided into many stages.
It can be move flexibly in order to absorb the shock and incidentally suppress the sound at the same time.
Shadow Rat fell and take up a beast like movement, slide into the safe landing.
Although there was a guard in the courtyard, they were not aware of all shadows in the least.
A decent size shadows perfectly hide in many darkness spots and because they do it almost silently , their presence is really significantly small one.
There also a limit to the guard's attention.
In the end, there were a lot of soldiers in the castle.
But none of them manage to notice the presence of intruders.
As they let their guard down in the castle due to their strict security control over the city.
More than anything, the silhouette gear is kept lurking in the unknown blind spot which makes all of this possible despite the difficulty.
They ran through the darkness without leaking even a slightly sound, soon they will scattering and reached to the base of the destination steeple that placed on all directions of Raspedo castle.
[...This is the place right?]
Eru looked up at the towering spire and fire the wire anchor far above on him.
After he checked the fixed resistance, he launched himself flying with the hoisting wire on the outer wall of the tower with a momentum.
Soon, the Shadow Rat followed him.
Because this place imprisoned the royal family of the ancient Kshyperuk principality, a very important presence, the exceptionally strong security had been placed at the steeple.
They kept the focus on the bottom stairs that allow people to up and down but none on the above top and its vicinity.
Who gonna thought that there are people who able to rise up on the towering that higher that the wall itself by climbing it?
Even start climbing from the poor outer wall as a starting point, it still difficult even that person already gained a considerable training.
Moreover, even somebody manage to reach the top, there is no such a doorway. there is only just a small enhance fitted window that human can't pass.
Unfortunately, such a logic and common sense don't apply on silhouette gear.
The motor beat that reached the top, implanted its wire anchor solidly on the wall and constantly destroyed the surrounding of said window with its powerful muscle strength.
Abandon the conceal activity, it destroyed the stone walls, entering into a huge systemic reinforce room.
[...For forcibly breaking into women's room on such a midnight...it's enough to call a culpable one, just who on earth are you?]
A quiet challenge greeting came faster than Eru can even look around.
When he turned at the sound origin, at a dim room place with just only a lamplit.
Young blooming aged women sat on the chair there with one book in her hand.
TN: 妙齢 eternal seventeen....again? if K&M gone into anime adaptation, I highly hope that Kikuko Inoue will cast Martina's roles. just how old is Martina??? another young mother...
[Since the location is such a place, some of the irreverent should be pardoned sometimes, it can't be helped right? Are you the grand duchess Martina?]
[You are indeed right. Still, I yet to heard your reply from the previous question?]
This woman is indeed, "Martina Orto Kshyperuk"---who married to the former Fernando duke.
Basically, she is Emurys's aunt.
Eru nodded, take out the emblem from his bosom and quickly form a small bow.
What engraved there is the nation flag of Fremmevir kingdom with silver phoenix appearance at its surrounding.
Martina who keeps composed until now reveals her surprise for the first time.
[...that proof. did you received from brother's hand?]
[At your will, I will be brief since the situation has been imminent. We, the servants of Emurys highness came in order to rescue you royalty.]
A sound of lock removing can be heard from the entrance of the room.
The soldiers indeed perceive an abnormal and began to inspect it.
[...seriously, that fool....to a place like this! fine, as you state, I will trust you. but this place still caught the royal highness princess and my daughter. I will not run away alone!]
[We're aware of that, please be assured. the other personal already heading toward the other place same as this place, because we already planned to extract you all at once.]
Martina only has a little time to nominal thinking.
Soon she closed the book and throw it wildly.
TN: lol....poor book.
[Good, then there is no reason to hole up in a cramped place like this, could you show me the way, cute knight-kun?]
TN: even Martina who was an eternal seventeen women called Eru "可愛い" (kawaii), I guess his charm work at all female age range. as a girl stuffed toy...
[At your will, the escaping may be a little rough, therefore I like to beg you a pardon.]
[Haha! just quickly breaking out clearly under their nose directly! isn't that good? ]
Eru re-enter the motor beat while made a wry smile, he really want to protest against the decision like aunt like nephew of her.
He moved its huge arm and embracing Martina.
[If that the case then, I will escort you out...for sure!]
By his word, they came dancing out of the large hole without any hesitation.
[What on earth is that sound?]
Immediately after this, the soldiers who opened the door wildly got crowded collapsed.
They put up a lot of locking mechanism to prevent the royal family escape but now it becomes their hindrance instead.
The soldier depressing, when they entered, the room already become completely empty, only a cold air that flowing thru the broken window from outside remain behind.
[Fool...even escape away from this tower! , Oi, go assemble the surrounding barricade!]
Soldiers sounded the horn, alarming the entire Raspedo Castle.
All of the Motor beat destroyed the outer wall, begin to invade the spire, the silhouette gear troops arrived and enter the steeple in addition. everything happens almost the same time at four directions.
[I am Emurys! who was imprisoned here!? I came to help!!]
TN: this guy just seriously stated his name in the covert operation?? even his father (the king) keep repeat to hide the name...such a hilarious one, I like it.
[...!? that voice, Emurys-nii!? is it really Emrys-nii? ]
[Ou. Is that you, Isadora? Yosh, your sound surely lively isn't?]
Emurys who entered inside by breaking the window area similar to Eru, remove his helmet and descent down from the Silver Rat seat.
Showing his face under it, Martina's daughter, Isadora bounce back from her stunned and jump to his chest immediately.
[Otto. It alright now, Isadora. ....Oi, Don't cry, as expected, you scared cause you are caught right?]
[Tch, Wrong, ...It not that... this... because it was a little crowded and cramped...]
TN: ping-pong!! Tsundere flag raised!!
Isadora wipes her tears and becomes flustered, Emurys teased and stroking the girl in the good mood.
Her hair becomes fluffy, Isadora escaped from his hand in a hurry.
[Haha, if you are healthy then it all good. now that we came here, you don't need to worry about that degradation idiot prince, let get out of here immediately!]
A small laugh and giggle reach Emurys's conscious thru his ears while he returns to Shadow Rat and made preparation for escape.
[Fufu, this is surely strange. Rys-nii called other people a fool!]
While Emurys quickly suit up silhouette gear, he moaned with discouraging appearance.
[What the heck is that mean? nevermind, time to pull out. come here, Isadora!]
Stuffed Isadora in one hand, Emurys'Shadow Rat send out the signal. there is a man who waiting outside the steeple that keeps check around, he began to move in order to lead him.
[Since it will become a little rough, hold on me tightly!]
[eh, wait a sec....Rys-nii, come to think of it again, how come you reach her...e....Hyi...yahhh!?]
Isadora who reaches the suspicion at that time doesn't have any time to think, they leaped out from the top of the spire, dancing in the air.
Part 3. (Unedited)
The Princess Eleonora was caught in one of the spires that have been placed in four directions of Raspedo castle.
In a room where is no light, the girl spent her time loosely without doing anything.
Almost as she was imprisoned here for 10 years, completely lost her all life energy.
Actually, It still not reach even one year.
Now, Eleonora who lost her energy is looking exactly like the wilting exhausted flower.
Forced to comply the pronouncement of marriage by Cristobal, the second prince of Jaroudeku kingdom---that means that she gonna married off to the man, the ringleader who murdered her father---destroyed her country.
All of the facts was too harsh and disservice for the sheltered princess who was raised with care among a butterfly and flower.
Hardly to accept it, however, her continuing denial will result in the execution of the next target, her's cousin, Isadora.
No way out, Every choice are sealed.
Until then, she only wishes for a peacefully slumbering, almost as her heart could break too easily at any moment.
Before long, the girl gave up the resistance and just spent the presence day after day in the gloomy state.
(The way I lived so far, almost like a plant...)
TN: inner voice...
She, who was once being got admiring as a large blossoming flower, now got abandoned as a moss that crawling to the land.
She realized it.
The fact that until now she never decided anything by herself.
While face down on the bed, she stared at the wall of the room by slowly crawling her line of sight.
Such a dark, dreary room.
Her mental now is also similar to this room.
Surrounded by a thick wall with a few living reason end up suffocating oneself.
It may look like a respected tower from the outside but its content is empty.
A tear fell on her cheek and made a stain on the sheets.
Wondered what she should do in this world, what she can do.
It is not possible to resolve the difficulty but it was lacking any antidepressant will.
While tasted a sense of helplessness, the girl's limbs spreading ahead.
Even the power to stand up already long gone and not exist anymore.
[...please. somebody, help me...]
A slender tweet spun a "word", a proof of people's intention.
The last resistance that she could do in order to oppose her fate.
A faint voice than a whispered sound, floating along the ambient air---.
At that moment, her vision got shaking around.
The grate that fitted at the window got blown off, a stone wall that supposed to have a considerable robust got destroyed.
Does Eleonora'word hidden an unknown power ? of course, nope.
It has been destroyed by the hole in the wall, a large build knight that she was never seen before entering the room by penetrating the wall.
It demonstrated its ferocious force by breaking the around wall, it was the work of this armored knight.
Eleonora is not even get up, she keeps remain her sight on the situation before her with no reaction.
Rather than she did not respond, she was not able to react due to the too much surprising element.
[I-yah, etto...!? who, there--?]
A voice of lighter tone leaks from such the armored knight.
The arm that pulls down the string with was lifted up with barely sound and manifest the magic of fire in its hand.
The light spreading around and speculated at Eleonora who was frozen on the couch.
Chid who rush in by manipulating the Motor beat into the interior of the spire, cease his motion before the instant sight.
In the light that lit up vividly, a petite figure has emerged.
Probably much as his time of the year, a beautiful girl lie before him.
(....Uwah! this is, did I just hit a jackpot? maybe, but furthermore, she is a princess, right? ...how should I say, she so small just like Eru, also...extremely beautiful too.)
(TN: chid's inner voice...)
Actually, the current Eleonora is fully haggard both mentally and physically, she did not possess a vestige that has been praised beauty as a large blossom flower right now.
But there is not much face detail that could be seen in the dim light room, rather that, should call it just a Chid's temporary impression.
Although they had been staring at each other for some time during the silence as both two people lost their reaction, at last, the wit return to Chid, he hastily asks her a question.
[eh...ah... that. Kshyperuk's princess, would you kindly come with me?]
[...yes. a-no, you are, ...hah?]
While Eleonora got too much puzzled by the visited abruptly situation, she involuntarily obediently replies him back.
A sweet voice such as a birdsong tickled Chid's ear.
[I am..., eh... ah...this is such an awkward.]
Chid went back and secured his motor beat, open up the armor part. a chest armor and a helmet rashly, open its apart until around the thigh, belly, and waist area.
Exit from the armor, he removes the emblem from his bosom and held it out before Eleonora.
Eleonora who focus her eyes sticks to the knight with robust and height, round off her eye on the appearance of the boy who emerges from the bottom armor of its.
After got over the slight hesitation, the girl timidly inspects the emblem's detail.
The girl has received an education of the princess. soon she understands the meaning in this depicted emblem.
[This is, Fremmevir kingdom...are you perhaps from ....like aunt Martina?]
[Ah! exactly! then I...came to rescued...the lady...who like Martina...the princess...]
TN: This is interesting, his word really does not connect, Is Elleonora really that charming?
It takes a while for Eleonora in order to understand the meaning of the word that Chid shoot out.
To help, to escape, who? from where? the girl's mind came across with a fragment of thought.
But she not able to reach the conclusion.
She wants to try clinging on the offered helping hand but the girl hand and feet won't budge and did not move at all.
The resignation had scooped her mind, it not easily to wipe it out.
[Run away from here?...then, where on earth am I gonna run to?]
Even he just immediately come up with something called an escaping, Chid was thinking and tilted his neck over before the unexpected question.
[No matter place I go, it will be useless. this country already been ruined...and another thing, father is no...longer here anymore.]
Tear fall out at her latter half remark, even her word is withered.
Her weak heart can no longer endure any more despair.
Fear toward a blank future, that why she was motionless before this opportunity.
Even with the helping hand of powerful knight would be meaningless before her state.
(While she keep such an apparent, she was a small frail princess inside? ...I was wrong when assumed her to be the same as Eru...or maybe use Eru as a standard is already wrong in the first place...did I made a mistake at many points until now?)
Chid shook his head, after all, It's too much difficult to ignore the impression of his small childhood friend who never stops moving forward in his head.
He must concentrate on the girl who in front of his eyes right now.
Unlike that monster in the form of the young child, this girl is more like a delicate glasswork that would be immediately broken after being touched.
[All right, we are still here as your ally. once we got out of here, let go splashing on those guys who attacked you, let show them that you gonna regain back this country.]
Once she heard it, far from cheer up, Eleonora went sinking even deeper.
Look like it was a wrong word, Chid soaked up in a cold sweat.
[I am...weak. not able to do anything even I was called a princess, without anything. fight? where? I can't even move myself-desu...]
[Isn't fine for being weak? after all, the fight should be carried out by a knight, the strong person like us who fight with sword and armor.]
The return word came back with the diffidence, Eleonora who headed down until now raise up her face.
[ Who will listen...word is nothing more than a tool...who will follow and fight for someone like me?]
Recalled the figure of saying Cristobal, the girl was trembling.
Such an acne in her memory turned into a different form.
It became such a beast that sip her a flesh and blood.
As this rate, she will become a hollow one.
[There is one, after all, I am here.]
Chid stretched out his hand from to the back of the motor beat, conveying her with a clearly great will and determination.
Supplied by his magic, the assembled magic surgery formula crying, the armored machine begins to move.
Strumming the crystal tissue, the armor expanding and covering his hand and feet, sealed the chest armor part.
His appearance disappears from Eleonora eyes.
Instead, one knight clad in a heavy armor is now standing before her.
[In order to reprise you as a knight, I will wield the sword for your sake, I will protect you as your's knight.]
TN: the very line of the part!!
Eleonora who still remains silent looking up at the huge armor.
The armored knight and the boy who inside it floats up a small fire.
Now, their appearance is completely different to her, once it seemed to overlap with those who have lost their life from the fight in order to protect her.
[...mine...knight...can you protect me without dying?]
Chid remembered the knight gesture that he learn at the school, took the audience bow with a superlative great respect.
The motor beat down on its knee.
[Your royal highness. please give me my first responsibility as your knight.]
Chid just keep waiting, while the heavily remain silent passed, before long, a small murmur came out and reached him.
[...this place is...so disgusting. I am, why I have to married to the man who killed my father, I don't want to... please take me out of this place.]
[At your will!]
Eleonora grabbed the outstretched hand.
The chilly and soft feeling sense from the touching at Chid's hand assault his mind suffered an attack from such a weak small girl, Chid desperately collects his remaining consciousness in order to move the motor beat.
After a while that silhouette gear jumps off the tower, a slender scream resounded on the silence night.
Part 4. (Edited by Jazz3216)
The motor beat that Eru rode on jumped from the top floor of the steeple while holding Martina in it's arm.
Even you said that it was a pullout, it just a simple free-falling no matter how much you looking at it.
Leaving from the tower in such a very bold way.
However, it does not seem like a suicide at all since Martina withstood it without leaking any sound or clenching her teeth.
She just simply sitting normally as expected for the only daughter of Ambrosius.
Although the spire is very high but with a free-fall movement, it just only a blink of the eye to them when they almost reach the ground.
Looking at the ground that closing in rapidly, Martina indeed gasped.
At that time, motor beat extends the another arm and embracing her tightly, firing a shining silver arrowhead along with the sharp blowing sound.
The wire anchor is flying in the night and pierces into the wall.
With it's support, the motor beat reduce the falling impact velocity.
A sound of "Air Suspension" magic activated can be heard when nearing the ground.
A mass of compressed air lifts the motor beat on behalf of the ground softly.
In addition, motor beat also fully killed the remaining falling momentum completely and rise up as it was nothing unusual.
At it's surrounding, the other Shadow Rat are getting out and show themselves one after another.
[...Hah...even when I already prepared, It still a little rough. are you, are you really a knight!? It is really that we "escaping" for sure but... this is what you call insane]
For Eru, this is just a simple maneuver that he familiar with but it is not the case for the other person.
Listening to the protests voice of Martina who tries hard to calm down, however, he answered back with a cool look.
[If it just this much then it just a normal thing for knight of Fremmevir, you know?]
Martina floated a horrible imagination in the sky, while she did not return home for a while, did her home just turn into some kind of a den of thieves?
TN: –‚ŒA- den of thieves,red-light district --- or may be I should use a circus?
What Eru has just said is misleading her somehow, It is not entirely false but it just a truth limited to the Silver Phoenix knight order only.
Aside from that, the other troops begin to link up with Eru who reachs the meeting point first.
[Ou, look like aunty also made it safely! silver leader too, good work!]
Looking back to the familiar sultry voice origin, Emurys's Shadow Rat which got a handful with Isadora stood there.
Martina greatly relieved at the fact that she saw her daughter also made it out, although she is betting on the decision to believe Eru's word.
Soon, Ady's troops also linked up but she was empty-handed.
[My side was miss! ah, to cling on Eru-kun tightly like that...so jealous!!]
Ady's groaned was splendidly ignored as usual.
Then a little late later, Chid join up while he got handful hugging Eleonora as the last one.
Silver Phoenix knights manage to successfully rescue every member of Kshyperuk royal family that being held captive.
[Now that all royal family who had been caught are all gathered, seem like we don't have any trouble, right? Yosh, lets get away from this place, shall we?]
[Even you said that but the commotion already spread around the castle. they will definitely focus on a gate, how are you gonna slip out! can you overcome them with only this much war potential?]
Martina who harboring anxiety is trying to state the obvious fact, she doubts this "conventional war potential" which mainly composed of infantry.
Eru replied her with a smile.
[In the first place, there is no need for us to go at the gates.]
After his words, everyone starts running toward the wall.
Running without wire anchor and standing against the walls.
What they need in order to escape is speed.
Using the magic "Aero Thrust" without hesitation, the party got throw up secretly.
TN: Aero Thrust : a magic that creates an air compressed propulsion.
The sound of air compressed explosion roaring while the frame of silhouette gear accelerating with an explosive speed.
They just leave it to the propulsion momentum, went up with strange ran with a speed on the towering walls that vertically from the ground.
The stuffed Martina group lost for words as such a thing before their eyes.
The silhouette gear troops that overcame the walls splendidly are the existence that massively lacks common sense as they just came jump out and head toward the darkness.
They rebound themselves with a recoil from "Aero Thrust" explosion, the silhouette gear troops flew out to the other side of the moat easily.
For them, it is just too easy for them when met with such an obstacles.
Silhouette gear troops entered the city and running through the top of the roof.
Depending on a mana pool size of each individual, the speed performance of silhouette gear is even greater than a horse in short distance travel.
Faster than the laid security network can relay a news about the confusion in the castle to the city security, Silver Phoenix knight armor troops are on the verge from escaping from Fontanie city.
At that time, Raspedo castle still under the confusion and no intel at all, they were not able to take any action.
After all, the guard who was stationed there still not clearly understands where does the intruder come from or where did they leave after they were outwitted in the middle of the night.
However, this is not normally commotion for the guard who was assigned to protect the spire since all Kshyperuk's royal family are now certainly escaped.
[D, Damn you. what a, what a blunder! how the heck I gonna report this to his highness!!]
Dorote who is the commander was entrusted with the castle responsibility yelling out a thundering roar.
A full fierce anger roar enough to involuntarily silence and stop the moment of the surrounding soldiers.
He usually a relatively mild person but now blown up with an anger like a furious volcano.
[What happen to the thief!? where does it run to!? Is there anyone who saw their figure!!]
[A, about that...the soldiers who protect the castle gate reported that they did not see any thief appearance. Soldiers at that time appeared to be patrolling so we end up not able to got any intel....]
Dorote raises a creak and clenches his teeth after got flustered when hearing his subordinate report.
The soldiers who foresaw the eruption fall back a half step on their own but Dorote remain silent.
Punishing all soldiers here would be meaningless, rather that, he must think for the next move.
The escaping of Kshyperuk royal family must not be allowed.
If they were stolen, then it must be recovered back at all cost.
For that reason, He will do everything regardless the method.
[At this rate...Damn it! mobilize the entire soldiers in the city to scan throughly the entire area range! if they already escaped from the town at worst case! then, Airship!! go immediately prep the flying airship. send it out to searching the outside town area...don't let them escape at all cost, whatever it takes!!]
Immediately after he said that, the soldiers start running fiercely to the "Air Field".
[Did you said "Thief"!? who on earth is them...remnants of Kshyperuk? there is no way they have such a force. that would be an unexpected explanation to the story. but no matter who is it, those who get in the way of his highness, I will crushed them until nothing remain!]
Dorote Marudonness---the person who was a loyal old veteran to Jaroudeku kingdom is now risk everything in order to track back the royal family.
Part 5. (Edited by Jazz3216)
The silhouette gear troops escaped from Fontanie as quick as gale heading into the woods as it is near the city.
Use the simple forest to hide from the deployed pursuers because they escape safely from the castle.
[Although It is quite rough, Did you get hurt somewhere? since we already made a preparation, please wait a moment. the transportation from now on will be changed.]
Martina who finally got off from motor beat's arm starts to rise up with an unsteady step.
The face of the woman did not hide the color of fatigue that has been through a fierce marching.
[You called that "a little"? hey, that was quite an exciting experience. but Jaroudeku's pursuer will be catching soon. To outrun them is not an easy task, how on earth are you plan to do from here?...]
During the time she said that, Martina's voice become lighter and lighter when she noticed the presence that lies before her eyes.
Shine with the moonlight, illuminating a huge figure crouched in the forest.
It was a figure of half man half horse, the majestic figure of centaur knight, Tzendrinble.
[... this thing...just what in the world is this?]
Martina group gasped from the breathtaking display of the mysterious thing while every member of silver phoenix knights is preparing in haste.
Two units of Tzendrinble along with two wagons were parked by at this place.
They walk to the wagon and hop on one of them while silhouette gears being stored in another one.
Then Chid and Ady jumped up and entering the cockpit of Tzendrinble.
The ether reactor which was set in an inactive mode now starting up, the centaur knight leak a neigh as a sign of awakening.
A voice reached Martina who remained stunned looking at how they proceed with preparation , Eru's voice pulling her conscious back to real world.
[then, Everyone, please get on the wagon. we will leave soon. since if we didn't go soon, we will not able to get away from this place far enough as we planned.]
[Y...yes...]
Martina who finally only answered him shortly pinched Isadora's cheek who was stand behind and still in her own's world.
The girl group already got startled at the knight who ride in silhouette gear but this centaur knight had delivered more impact than that.
Also, they never heard about any silhouette knight in another form than a human form before.
Emurys who rose up here saying that this thing was made in Fremmevir kingdom.
The girl group got stunned from the unexpected mind exhausted question and answer that occurring while they got across the street on the wagon.
[...I have not gone back for while, Just what on earth happening in Fremmevir kingdom...?]
[Ha Ha! there still more to see after this. then, Aunty, you should take a loot at this!]
They did not amazed at Emurys's appearance while he guiding them but they wonder why Emurys showing the guts pose while he at it instead.
TN: hmnn...must be some kind of Macho Pose!! just imagine that someone makes a weird pose that shows off his muscle while that person also guiding you on something....
The girl group was guided to the waiting room inside the wagon.
Originally, It was a room that a knight runner use for rest when they on the long distance travel, the internal may look a bit cheap in its own way.
Eleonora is just only one who still in embarrassment behind Martina group who got on board with curiosity.
[...This is...a reality...really happen...?]
Believed in the boy's word that he would become Her knight, thus, she hardened her resolve to escape, the scene in front of her eye is too realistic as almost a lie.
Her mind can no longer successfully recognize the reality, thus, she finally begun to think.
About the rescue, got stuck in Raspedo castle too, her weak heart had witnessed a good scene of convenience too much.
There is too many things that happen at once.
Many things that can't be accepted with her frail spirit.
[It gonna be fine, Your royal highness.]
A word flew from the centaur knight toward such a half-sleep person as her.
A voice of boy knight reaches out to her, it was a huge, fearsome, centaur knight but the girl wonders why she can clearly see the boy figure behind its crystal eyeball.
[Just leave it to me, I and this Tzendrinble will definitely escort you to the safe place.]
Her knight's word pulled her back to the harsh reality. because it was her command, and he answered it. how can she not believe in this knight? After gathering a bit of determination, the girl goes stand up.
[...Yes, please do...]
Her slender voice would have been drowned out immediately in this place due to a driving acoustic of silhouette knight, however, the boy's ear clearly heard it.
[Hou hou! Chid...you just suddenly looking motivated-ne! As I thought, Chid is still a boy after all... did you already fallen for the beautiful princess?]
[Shut it. I just...that it, it...is a duty...as members of silver phoenix knight order!]
[Houuu---Uho ho ho ho ho. good, good for you, I wish to get motivated like that too! just like that.]
[Garghh!! You will make the other people misunderstand it, Ady!!]
While the two siblings chatting at each other, all preparation has been completed.
Eru voice came from silhouette knight which got carried on the wagon.
[Yeah, yeah, both you two, surely energetic. get ready. then, Silver Phoenix knight...let begins!]
The two Tzendrinble begin to move. with a neigh sound.
Head toward an end of the eastern side of Old Kshyperuk kingdom.
The fledgling knight becomes strong by rescuing the bounded princess.
Part 6. (Edited by Jazz3216)
One flying airship rowing through the wind and hop on Aubigne's ridges at dawn.
Dorote had been sitting deeply on the captain's seat while listening to a sound of wind torrent that came through a glass window.
Basking in the dazzling morning sun, he putting his hand on his head showing how frustated he is.
Him and the airship which carrying his troops had left Fontanie and heading toward the east of Old Kshyperuk castle in the night.
For the airship which is not affected by the terrain, it advances extremely fast compared to other transportation means such as horse-drawn carriage and silhoutte knight.
They already move forward into the east.
[...Where...where the hell in this land...the fled royal family should be somewhere around here!]
The line of sight of Dorote pouring around a map for possible location of Old Kshyperuk royal family on the captain's seat.
It's not something that he made recently with haste but it was an extremely detail one.
He borrowed it from Raspedo castle with him.
Moving by flying airship may be fast but there also a weakness since
the way to read the course is completely different.
if moving by land then following road and the city itself is already a course mark.
But now they have seen it all from a bird's eye view, all of the circumstances will be different.
A compass and a map, seeing the scenery view from above to the terrain and imagine collates it all---had replaced the land's navigator, It require such capability.
From such a situation, the strategic value of a high precision map had been growing even more.
[Impossible, so it is heading east?]
A number is written on the map.
To determine the course, Dorote and "Air Navigator" group who traces all lead signs debate together.
They don't want to create a simple conclusion.
There was a good reason for that they took a course to the east.
First, Dorote has been speculating that royal family will run not away to the west. because west of Fontanie mean fled to the central of Old Kshyperuk kingdom which they have no ally there.
He remember at that time.
For some time, the rumors about an unidentified enemy had a rampage in the land of the east, the unstable east area.
And now, the royal family suddenly got took away.
Everything leads to a single conclusion so it was no unusual thought.
[Seem like the course they were taken, is around this place. We can catch them with the airship.]
Next, he set a course along the highway.
Predicting that the escaped royal family would focus on the speed.
They have one chance to caught them in the middle way secretly since the wheel track from the beginning still not trodden here.
if the royal family want to move as fast as possible, they will use a highway in order to move quickly.
The remaining question is the searching "range".
Since it is extremely difficult to searches in the midnight, they had been devoted to just moving so far.
Now it already dawns, they must narrow down where to search.
With a certain course of a search, no matter how fast the airship flying, they will not catch up.
Airship movement becomes possible by using a "Blow Engine" and it strongly affected by the weather.
[...also...even the wind is flowing to the east?... what a favorable one...]
Dorote is giving command to his subordinates while there is a sharp light in his pupil.
by following the wind direction the airship speed is increasing.
A creak of the hull that sounds occasionally reach his ears, he sharpens his fangs quietly toward the mission time.
While Martina group basking in the morning light, Silver Phoenix knights carried them and running non-stop on "Kshyeru road" passing through Old Kshyperuk kingdom.
[Mother, look! to already reached this place in over a night ,this is really absurd.]
[I hope that my eyes play trick on me but...that thing, to be faster than a horse, furthermore, a silhouette knight that can keep running like this...truly an absurdity...]
Emurys only respond is by shrugging his body when he heard what Martina and her daughter said,
The imitation of half horse half man, Tzendrinble specialty is in the moving performance.
Furthermore, it also had a tough endurance due to the two units of ether reactor which allow it to display a real potential in the long distance movement more than anything.
Even when taking a fatigue of knight runner into account, theoretically, it is still possible to cross the continent without rest at all.
As a result of running through the night by Ady and Chid, the distance that they traveled is beyond common sense and greatly took back the Martina group.
[Tzendrinble...is it...to able completed this strange silhouette knight, Rys-nii's subordinates is a bit of strange...]
[Is that so? maybe because a horse is an ally of the knight, I thought that was a good idea too, but rather than that, when I saw this guy for the first time, I did want to jump on it for the first try...]
[To think of such a thing really like Rys-nii...]
Emurys just puzzled and made a Hm! sound.
[Isn't fine? with it, we were able to help everyone, after all, it will take him away.]
Martina and Isadora looked at each other.
They also knew each other long enough, no need to say anything at all.
But if there are more things that break the common sense, it will be a burden on their mind.
[So, in the end, you never been involved with "Detailed thing", right? surely, we should able to outrun from the hand of pursuer if it was this fast.]
[For now, we will link up with the main force. then after that, I like to make an attack! because I still did not return the favor to that rumored idiot prince.]
Martina's face tightens when hearing Emurys proud declaration but deep down it assured her.
[Rys, listen carefully, certainly, you had led the strong knight more than I thought. but the enemy is the Jaroudeku kingdom, not a small fry enemy. the knights who try to protect our country got a countless mortality, despite that, they still unmatch for them. but for you to carelessly said that you gonna launch a fight...I am the one here who disagree with it.]
the conversation that happens until now is still in a relaxed manner but the situation turns at this point.
Suddenly, a bell that fitted in the waiting room sounded.
TN: resound with a Klang! Kang! Kan! sound as SFX sound.
This is just a simple function in the Tzendrinble cockpit, something for use as a means to communication.
You can tell the meaning by verifying the tone ring of a bell same as a code and the meaning of today's tone is....
["Abnormal situation, be vigilant" huh?... by the rumors, don't tell me that they have a thing that able to chase Tzendrinble. look like it is as Aunty said, I'm underestimating the enemy!]
As he said that, Emurys had jumped out of the waiting room like a gust.
He heads toward the cockpit of the golden lion (Gordesleo) that sitting on the wagon.
Martina who was left behind rounded her eyes at the sudden situation and immediately understood the meaning of what he said.
[How...It can't be, We already been this far....no, don't tell me...how...can even enemy catching up in this place...with the speed of centaur knight!]
Martina jump to the window of the waiting room, peek out at the landscape behind with her eyes open wide.
There was a black point as a stain on the clear sky at the spreading dawn.
She doesn't need much time to figure it out.
[Airship...of Jaroudeku kingdom!]
The flying airship is stretching it sail to the end of left and right side while screeching at a mast of the hull.
While peeping with a telescope at the front distant view mirror of the bridge, Dorote floated a ghastly smile that covered his beard mouth.
[When you follow the wind, they also lead you to whatever thing that riding it...I bet this is my win! I finally found you, Kshypreuk's royalties! you shall not escape...!!]
Overflowing with a spirit of old man, he crossed the bridge to breathe.
He passed the telescope to his subordinates and issue a command.
[Get the airship above them!! We are going to drop a Tyrantor on them directly. The royalty surely in our hand right now, we will take them along the way, First, release the sealed "Catapult"!]
[Roger that, speed up, lower the altitude!! prepare the catapult!]
The men recite his order and begin to move at once.
The wind engine is challenging the output limit of the centaur knight mana pool, it caused a strong air current around the ship.
While above the normal further speed, airship begin lower the altitude platform.
The upcoming speed of the ship at that time far exceeded the speed of Tzendrinble.
With the flying airship caught up with an unbelievable speed from behind, Chid & Ady who piloted Tzendrinble had been staring at such a scene which stunned in a middle way.
[Oi oi...what the hell is that, that thing! it's a ship, a ship flying in the sky!]
[Ship can't fly right?...right??? to think there is someone who makes strange thing just like Eru-kun]
Both of them got curious at the appearance of the airship which they saw for the first time.
They chatting this and that while forgets that it's the enemy's pursuers. suddenly, The airship is about come up with something and they were forced back to the reality.
They are talking while forgetting about the enemy's presence. suddenly, the airship is about to come up with something and they were forced back into the reality.
[Keh, Not good! It starts attacking!]
While changing the course in a hurry, a stone bullet was coming around Tzendrinble.
The stone bullet that flew with the help of gravity force went gouge the ground and make echoing sound along the way.
The aim is sketchy, only a few shots manage to hit a highway.
Judging from the result of this degree's attack, look like the penetrate power is no joke as a tree went sinking in the land, Chid and Ady break out in a cold sweat.
judging from the impact, the penetrate power is no joke as a tree broke down from the attack of the stone bullet, Chid and Ady break out a cold sweat.
[Kusso! at this rate, It will catch up. Is this not quite a bit sneaky?]
The speed of Tzendrinble that shook its course is slowing.
The airship keeps chasing and closing without a gap.
At that time, Dorote has commanded the sortie preparation in the airship.
His body already sat in the cockpit of Tyrantor,
All knight runners already sitting inside in the cockpit of six Tyrantor that lined up.
All knight runners already sitting inside the lined up 6 Tyrantor.
He is quickly going to the next move, for that reason, he is gonna lead his squad directly himself.
The airship's figurehead that fitted with a wind engine release a great artificial wind, the airship take a hunched course over the centaur knight.
It keeps advancing while lower the altitude enough hit the around tree, despite that, it does not stop the black knight that soon will be dropping from its belly.
it keeps advancing while also lowering the altitude and also hitting the trees, despite that it does not stop the black knight dropping from its belly.
[The time has come, we must take this opportunity, end this in one's breath, let's go!]
[Contact!!]
The centaur knight is disturbed by the looming airship.
In the next moment, the luggage that placed on the top of the wagon blowing its cover.
Emitted a roar, openly extending the four arms of its back, the irregular demon, Ikaruga begins to move.
in the cockpit, Eru ignores everything but the kitchen sink as the situation become tense, his eyes also glued at the holo-monitor.
His face is lovely but his blooming smile was filling with crucially intense intention.
[Arrr...My god,....My goddd! An airship...amazing, It's amazing! It really floating with its entire hull. wrong.... It did not sail like a "Ballon Airship". I don't understand, It does not match the rule of "that world"(Earth). surely that there must be something that I don't know, surely.... there must be something nice up there, right!?]
[TN: this is a reason that you should not show the toy to a child, right?]
He is accelerating while also creating a roar.
The maneuver of Ikaruga was too complicated to the point that it can't be deal with the normal conventional method, It needs a direct control support from the computer knowledge that Eru know. with that, his intentions become a will of the demon which had begun to crazily dash out bravely.
[Both of you, please continue to keep Tzendrinble marching like this, about that thing, that flying airship, I will eat it! "Itadakimasu"!!]
TN: ‚いただきます expression of gratitude before meals
Ikaruga's body jump off from the carriage after told Tzendrinble in a modest way.
Ikaruga landed on a highway and unleashing a huge magical power which stored in its body.
Magius jet thruster starts roaring up, create a fierce acceleration that even left the Tzendrinble behind.
The demon god, the one machine in the world that incorporated with a heart that once belongs to the monsters such as Behemoth & Shell cast Queen.
Ikaruga is soaring up, blowing off to the sky while cobbling a road as a reaction.
[What the hell is that thing!? It...It coming this way!?]
Ikaruga rose up red in the sky with the massive output power of magius jet thruster, flying to the airship in just a straight line.
It purely seeks to aim only for the airship, without any hesitation, ram on it with a collision course which packed with the shortest distance momentum.
Even there is a certain excellent function that allows the airship in the sky for a long period of time, it still needs to rely on the wind as its driving propulsion.
To said that such a thing will escape from the demon who flying at a high speed of an explosive flame would be a ground baseless talk.
Moreover, it was a place that was close to the Airship that catching up with Tzendrinble.
Sailors who got attacked all look at the figure from the bridge and screaming at their best before such an abnormal situation.
First of all, as they looked at the unknown silhouette knight clad in flame, they do not know what's going on.
Then, while they are in fear and confusion at the sound that Ikaruga released.
[What is wrong? Is there something happen!? What happen to the dropping sequence?]
The waiting Dorote who was impatiently and eager to join the war has noticed that something happen.
[Hyiii, W....We don't know! A...Abnormality....Silhouette knight is here!? it just dropped and clinging on our ship, sir!!]
when he Heard his subordinates who report in a confused manner, Dorote stares blankly at the hull wall. MISHIRI! MISHIRI! a creaking sound raising on the outer plate.
TN: ƒミシリŠ SFX sound.
He immediately understood that something just crawls up on the airship.
The horror run up to his back.
After hesitated for a moment, Dorote immediately starts up his Tyrantor.
He blows up the outer plate that Ikaruga had clung on from the inside and destroyed the scaffold, causing Ikaruga to fall.
Eru is startled from this action but he manages with the injection from magius jet thruster and sustain himself in the midair vertically, and end up with a distance behind.
An appearance of Tyrantor that raised up its back weapon looking through a large hole that opened in the fuselage of the flying airship.
It's the one that Dorote piloted.
He has perceived the strange threat and utilizing the powerful back weapon to blow out the outer hull that enemy clung on.
Dorote still keeps shooting from there.
[Ahaha, a nice reaction, you look superb! here you go ,I will shoot back! for your unreserved attack.]
Dodging the attack with the great mobility, Ikaruga unpacks a sword cannon that attached to its waist.
The internal mechanism is expanding the blade and firing a large number of magic cannon, a very fierce counter attack.
A flame bullet shot by sword cannon piercing the flying airship one after another, the sprayed of roar flame penetrate the outer wall, developed internally in flames.
Causing a continuous explosion and blowing off the wall.
Penetrating the armor of the flying airship which supposedly can withstand against a normal magic bullet.
Before the unique demon output of Ikaruga that greater than any another machine, it was an unexpected.
[This is Absurd!! what a power.... Not good, at this rate, the airship will fall!!]
In that moment, Dorote's mind came across with many choices.
To capture Kshyperuk's royal, for that reason they must drop the black knight at all cost but if this sky demon was left unchecked, the flying airship will easily fall.
In the first place, can he defeat it with a black knight? he was not fully confidence. just one thing that he is certain, at this rate, the airship will definitely fall and his plan will fail along with it.
[Damnnnnnn ittttttttt!!!]
By thinking around, his decision was made.
Dorote's Tyrantor holding up a shield at the exposed hole in the flying airship hull.
He received a direct hit of roaring flame that exceeds the usual blow power, a fragment of crystal tissue came off and scatter by the blown that shook his entire body from his shield.
He was on his knees in just a few shots, the one that specializes in robustness as Tyrantor is now barely moving.
[...Emergency turning! now! leave this area immediately!!]
The men who saw Dorote's behavior followed it instantly.
Furthermore, the airship is unsteadily changing course to prevent more destruction of the black knight from the magic attack.
[A-re? even I took that much of trouble to coming all the way here, are you done already? that is no good-desu. I still not satisfied....yet?]
While remaining in the frenzy, Eru who is trying to give a chase look back behind the commotion.
There are something following the Tzendrinble, shadows running along the highway.
[That is...A detached force!....now you finally did it!...]
In that moment, Eru was lost in thought.
The remaining power of Ikaruga is probably enough to chase the airship at this rate.
But he will leave Tzendrinble behind .
The goal of Silver Phoenix knights is to assure the safety and bring back Kshyperuk's royalty is now obstructing his own goal.
With little reason left in the corner of his mind, he halted his desire.
[Fuuu...Fine. that ship, I will let you have it for now. when we meet again... I will eat it to my heart's content, without leaving any piece of its part.]
Eru turn around Ikaruga after left a word of wholehearted chagrin.
Leaving by flipping the heat haze of explosive flame, Ikaruga flew back fast to the original position of Tzendrinble
"Fontanie"city, the home base of Jaruodeku kingdom's army east strategic point division.
Originally, it was a capital city of Fernando dukedom, a place that flourished as the part of trade route leading from the east-west highway.
There is a compartment zone in the corner of the city that had been constructed by the poised merchant.
In the past, It was daily basis crowded with a lot of people who were coming and going.
But now, the former prosperity has gone after the city fall in the hand of Jaroudeku kingdom, it is completely quiet.
The thing that had appeared in this place instead was a Tyrantor, Jaroudeku's army silhouette knight.
The black giant stands regards at such a town corner, sweep its crystal eye a vacant gaze, dominated every people who walk down the road with its sharp look.
[...When I came to this city at the first time, it was a hard time because there was too many people move on the road. then, what with this plight state? ...for the town that used to be overflowing with lively...]
Avoid the black knight's line of sight, the man with merchant cloth grumble while walking down the street corner.
If look at him closely, he doesn't look like a trader with the profession at all.
Leaving with trotting pace while avoiding the public gaze of the resident.
[I see, It seem like Jaroudeku kingdom is rushing stabilize this occupied area, but with this current state, they rather kind of missed a good taste, right?]
TN: Lacking of management skill.
A petite boy who looks like a nobleman manservant was wearing a low over one's eye currently walking next to him and give a supportive response.
The man kept his disappointed appearance while walking to the back of the street.
They proceeding to the low popular road and arrived at the old abandoned warehouse at the street corner.
[God grief, avoiding the public gaze is certainly inconvenient.]
The man with merchant appearance throw off his jacket and plunk sit down. disguised with leathery and hairstyle, Emurys, the second prince of Fremmevir kingdom was there.
Without a doubt, the one who wears a small dress is Ernesti.
They are boldly disguised as the merchant of "Silver Firm", sneaking in Fontanie.
To tell the truth, It is really not much meaningful cover since the economy of Fontanie is in a state of confusion.
[For now, I roughly understand the state of city and able to grasp the surrounding state of our objective, Raspedo castle.]
[Just leave it to the guide when it needs since this one already burned mostly geography of this town in the head. it was a common knowledge! ...then, how about it, shouldn't we moving soon?]
Then, Emurys turn his line of sight to the back of the warehouse.
This warehouse that previously owned by a merchant is quite a large stores in its own way, It has enough space.
It got deserted after clear out its goods but now a large systemic armor painted with dark green color had been arranged in a row instead.
They are disguised as a silver firm's "commodities", in the crowded box shape.
[As your command, the old silhouette gear (Motor beat) of your grandmaster excellency, under "re-modification" of our Blue Falcon knights. now, it's all covert specializes purpose silhouette gear. one platoon with twelve units in totals]
In the first place, the dark green silhouette gear here and there, "Shadow Rat" is a special silhouette gear that has been created for castle hawk knights sake which mainly focuses on intelligence activities.
TN: they certainly use "shirotaka" (castle falcon) not "aitaka"(blue falcon)
The one came up with this idea was Nora who was dispatched to silver phoenix knights as a liaison officer.
She witnesses the success of silver phoenix knights operation with silhouette gear and came up with a conviction that it has its own "professional".
The new weapon silhouette gear had the capability to provide covert support for those who are responsible for gathering intelligence such as Blue falcon knight.
That is "skilled in maneuverability, quiet while demonstrating a better large power output".
The difference between silhouette knight and silhouette gear mainly focus on the presence or absence of ether reactor than its different size.
At first look, it seems to be a disadvantage that there is no furnace, but actually, it was an advantage.
After all, ether reactor is something accompanied by a considerable noise in its operation.
For covert type silhouette knight that has been designed so far,
The internal mechanism that oppressed by the mechanism of suppressing the noise has set a major drawback extremely to a combat capability.
Silhouette gear doesn't have such a problem.
In the first place,
Silhouette gear is much less combat capability compared to silhouette knight.
However, silhouette gear warfare can be said that it was a deadly force for flesh and blood enemy.
It was the best choice for Blue falcon knight with its interpersonal mission.
Such a history gave a birth to Shadow Rat, now, as the core of this strategy, its ability is what it need.
[Then, everyone.... we will begin Kshyperuk royal rescue operation after today's sunset.]
Received Eru's instruction, everyone slowly nodded.
The operation of special forces that utilized silhouette gear for the first time in this world, begun to move.
Part 2. (Unedited)
The town of Fontanie went into slumber shortly after day fall.
The appearance of energetic merchants went soured and head back to their resident early due to the intimidate appearance of Tyrantor.
The remaining is nothing but a deadly silence and just a footsteps sound of the giants that occasionally break it.
While playing a faintly sound of driving the crystal tissue, The Tyrantor stand patrolling and look around with its crystal eyeball which is a visual device of silhouette knight but it did not mean that it can see thru the darkness.
For that reason, A torches have been placed here and there all of the street corner.
Without any person figure among the wavering light, the black knight kept walking slowly.
But that was a big mistake.
There are shadows galloping on the roof of the building connected to the Fontanie city without any sound making.
The one machine that advance to the top painted with dark blue tone.
Silhouette gear "Motor Beat"--- by utilized this craft, Silver Phoenix knights leader, Ernesti. Chid also Ady, all rode on the Motor Beat, chasing Emurys who riding on the Shadow Rat.
Apart of them are Blue Falcon knights who went over without a sound.
Under the dim moonlight, they have been turning into a literal shadow.
A steel skeleton frame supports the whole body, by uplifting the crystal muscle that connects to its limb, it keeps repeat leaping from building to the buiding.
The shadows group had continued ran without shaking also looking around.
To move the silhouette gear's arm and leg, there is a need to energy supply with mana of the pilot themselves.
Now looking at their pace, while running at full power, there is no a trace of slowing down or lack in motion which prove that all members here are considerably familiar with silhouette gear.
Before long, they ran through the city and arrived at the center of the town.
The robust towering walls that surrounded by a moat, the former royal castle, Raspedo castle. stood before their sight.
[...by our spies information, the royal family is held captive in the four sides standing spire of Raspedo castle. the uppermost part had become a prison, it appears that they were imprisoned there. out of the four spire, I do not know whether they contain anymore personal. because to hit all at once will consume our entire division hand.]
Chid who next to Eru along with Ady and Emurys lined up with their silhouette gear. each one of them will lead the divided platoon.
[Our most priority goal, is to successfully ensure the safety of royal custody. deal with anyone who stand in our way...but not necessary to entirely eliminated them. be quiet, be quick, please do it safely... then, let's go!]
Received the signal from the grandmaster, the shadows divided into four directions and fledgling without a sound.
Both Tyrantor and soldiers were placed on the surrounded wall of Raspedo castle as the security team.
But none of them aware the existence of silhouette gear that running in the dark night.
It would be cruel to blame them since the numbers of the black knight that guard the Raspedo castle are less than the numbers of Fontanie city' patrolling guard.
No one would expect such a bold enemy that coming all the way here to sneak in the home territory of Jaroudeku's army.
Silhouette gear that jumped out of the city took advantage of blind spot that darkness created with a flying momentum, rush over the moat with a directly jumped into the air.
An arrowhead fly upright while making a sound faintly from the arm's portion.
Drive by an atmosphere's explosion that caused by the magic phenomenon, the flying arrowhead is connected with a silver wire.
It was an equipment called a wire anchor.
The tip of arrowhead changing form into sharp scissor, reach and fixed itself with the wall.
As it became a reference point,
The silhouette gear acted as a cornerstone of the pendulum while jump over the moat in the area, one after another keep going and clung to the sheer wall.
Silhouette gear is a machine that strengthens a human movement with the power of crystal tissue.
Because it utilizing the strand crystal tissue that particularly strong output, it even possible to exert a force that greater than a monster that same size as human or horse.
Assuming a moat as an obstacle to silhouette knight, it had been rendered into a meaningless before this new weapon.
Silhouette gear that clung to the walls examine its surrounding state and stretched a large limb.
The tip of Shadow Rat's five fingers fitted with a sharp blade.
While hooked on the ledge on the wall, they began to climb the walls while displaying a surprising dexterity.
The walls are high up to 30 meters, exceed the height of silhouette knight itself.
The shadows reached and enter the top without any difficulty.
There was a sentry patrolling on the walls.
For Jaroudeku'army occupied Fontanie city without any much commotion.
The soldiers on sentry duty already lack vigilant and a restless one, they are already seen in a vivid plight state from their appearance.
His ear picked up a distraction, a sound like wind flows up from somewhere.
He halted and check around with a torch in his hand, light up the area, nothing abnormal.
While inspecting the surrounding not too long, he shrugged, turn his torch back to the previous direction and resumes his patrolling---A shrill rotation sound echo again, a dull sound kicking the stone walls.
During the time he turns the torch toward the sound, someone just popping out of the shadow.
the stick out blade painted with a matte black color, the shadow also stood against him without any sound.
The guard's death was confirmed with the very torch dropping on the ground, the shadow throws away the corpse.
Not only just him, the other sentries who were on the wall are quickly eliminated by the shadow that appeared one after another.
[No remaining enemy around.]
[From now on, we have to race against the time, let run through it at once!]
Eru's motor beat overlooking the courtyard from the walls.
Compared the wall's stringency with the city's monitoring, look like the inside was the negligent one.
Also less torch here.
There is still a much dark spot in the garden.
Seen it quickly, he casually jump out beyond the edges of the walls.
The shadows dancing into the air from the top of the walls of formidable height that surpass silhouette knight many times.
Motor beat should get inevitable destructed.
By no mean, he is not an extraordinary person.
While motor beat was on the verge touching the ground, it was displayed the magic phenomenon at its protruding hand.
Collecting the air and create a cushion with the magic "Air Suspension".
By relief all impact from the fall, the motor beat landed in the courtyard quietly.
Followed it, a shadow figure has been falling one after another.
The limb of Shadow Rat made from a special structure, wrapped with a powerful strand type crystal tissue joint that divided into many stages.
It can be move flexibly in order to absorb the shock and incidentally suppress the sound at the same time.
Shadow Rat fell and take up a beast like movement, slide into the safe landing.
Although there was a guard in the courtyard, they were not aware of all shadows in the least.
A decent size shadows perfectly hide in many darkness spots and because they do it almost silently , their presence is really significantly small one.
There also a limit to the guard's attention.
In the end, there were a lot of soldiers in the castle.
But none of them manage to notice the presence of intruders.
As they let their guard down in the castle due to their strict security control over the city.
More than anything, the silhouette gear is kept lurking in the unknown blind spot which makes all of this possible despite the difficulty.
They ran through the darkness without leaking even a slightly sound, soon they will scattering and reached to the base of the destination steeple that placed on all directions of Raspedo castle.
[...This is the place right?]
Eru looked up at the towering spire and fire the wire anchor far above on him.
After he checked the fixed resistance, he launched himself flying with the hoisting wire on the outer wall of the tower with a momentum.
Soon, the Shadow Rat followed him.
Because this place imprisoned the royal family of the ancient Kshyperuk principality, a very important presence, the exceptionally strong security had been placed at the steeple.
They kept the focus on the bottom stairs that allow people to up and down but none on the above top and its vicinity.
Who gonna thought that there are people who able to rise up on the towering that higher that the wall itself by climbing it?
Even start climbing from the poor outer wall as a starting point, it still difficult even that person already gained a considerable training.
Moreover, even somebody manage to reach the top, there is no such a doorway. there is only just a small enhance fitted window that human can't pass.
Unfortunately, such a logic and common sense don't apply on silhouette gear.
The motor beat that reached the top, implanted its wire anchor solidly on the wall and constantly destroyed the surrounding of said window with its powerful muscle strength.
Abandon the conceal activity, it destroyed the stone walls, entering into a huge systemic reinforce room.
[...For forcibly breaking into women's room on such a midnight...it's enough to call a culpable one, just who on earth are you?]
A quiet challenge greeting came faster than Eru can even look around.
When he turned at the sound origin, at a dim room place with just only a lamplit.
Young blooming aged women sat on the chair there with one book in her hand.
TN: 妙齢 eternal seventeen....again? if K&M gone into anime adaptation, I highly hope that Kikuko Inoue will cast Martina's roles. just how old is Martina??? another young mother...
[Since the location is such a place, some of the irreverent should be pardoned sometimes, it can't be helped right? Are you the grand duchess Martina?]
[You are indeed right. Still, I yet to heard your reply from the previous question?]
This woman is indeed, "Martina Orto Kshyperuk"---who married to the former Fernando duke.
Basically, she is Emurys's aunt.
Eru nodded, take out the emblem from his bosom and quickly form a small bow.
What engraved there is the nation flag of Fremmevir kingdom with silver phoenix appearance at its surrounding.
Martina who keeps composed until now reveals her surprise for the first time.
[...that proof. did you received from brother's hand?]
[At your will, I will be brief since the situation has been imminent. We, the servants of Emurys highness came in order to rescue you royalty.]
A sound of lock removing can be heard from the entrance of the room.
The soldiers indeed perceive an abnormal and began to inspect it.
[...seriously, that fool....to a place like this! fine, as you state, I will trust you. but this place still caught the royal highness princess and my daughter. I will not run away alone!]
[We're aware of that, please be assured. the other personal already heading toward the other place same as this place, because we already planned to extract you all at once.]
Martina only has a little time to nominal thinking.
Soon she closed the book and throw it wildly.
TN: lol....poor book.
[Good, then there is no reason to hole up in a cramped place like this, could you show me the way, cute knight-kun?]
TN: even Martina who was an eternal seventeen women called Eru "可愛い" (kawaii), I guess his charm work at all female age range. as a girl stuffed toy...
[At your will, the escaping may be a little rough, therefore I like to beg you a pardon.]
[Haha! just quickly breaking out clearly under their nose directly! isn't that good? ]
Eru re-enter the motor beat while made a wry smile, he really want to protest against the decision like aunt like nephew of her.
He moved its huge arm and embracing Martina.
[If that the case then, I will escort you out...for sure!]
By his word, they came dancing out of the large hole without any hesitation.
[What on earth is that sound?]
Immediately after this, the soldiers who opened the door wildly got crowded collapsed.
They put up a lot of locking mechanism to prevent the royal family escape but now it becomes their hindrance instead.
The soldier depressing, when they entered, the room already become completely empty, only a cold air that flowing thru the broken window from outside remain behind.
[Fool...even escape away from this tower! , Oi, go assemble the surrounding barricade!]
Soldiers sounded the horn, alarming the entire Raspedo Castle.
All of the Motor beat destroyed the outer wall, begin to invade the spire, the silhouette gear troops arrived and enter the steeple in addition. everything happens almost the same time at four directions.
[I am Emurys! who was imprisoned here!? I came to help!!]
TN: this guy just seriously stated his name in the covert operation?? even his father (the king) keep repeat to hide the name...such a hilarious one, I like it.
[...!? that voice, Emurys-nii!? is it really Emrys-nii? ]
[Ou. Is that you, Isadora? Yosh, your sound surely lively isn't?]
Emurys who entered inside by breaking the window area similar to Eru, remove his helmet and descent down from the Silver Rat seat.
Showing his face under it, Martina's daughter, Isadora bounce back from her stunned and jump to his chest immediately.
[Otto. It alright now, Isadora. ....Oi, Don't cry, as expected, you scared cause you are caught right?]
[Tch, Wrong, ...It not that... this... because it was a little crowded and cramped...]
TN: ping-pong!! Tsundere flag raised!!
Isadora wipes her tears and becomes flustered, Emurys teased and stroking the girl in the good mood.
Her hair becomes fluffy, Isadora escaped from his hand in a hurry.
[Haha, if you are healthy then it all good. now that we came here, you don't need to worry about that degradation idiot prince, let get out of here immediately!]
A small laugh and giggle reach Emurys's conscious thru his ears while he returns to Shadow Rat and made preparation for escape.
[Fufu, this is surely strange. Rys-nii called other people a fool!]
While Emurys quickly suit up silhouette gear, he moaned with discouraging appearance.
[What the heck is that mean? nevermind, time to pull out. come here, Isadora!]
Stuffed Isadora in one hand, Emurys'Shadow Rat send out the signal. there is a man who waiting outside the steeple that keeps check around, he began to move in order to lead him.
[Since it will become a little rough, hold on me tightly!]
[eh, wait a sec....Rys-nii, come to think of it again, how come you reach her...e....Hyi...yahhh!?]
Isadora who reaches the suspicion at that time doesn't have any time to think, they leaped out from the top of the spire, dancing in the air.
Part 3. (Unedited)
The Princess Eleonora was caught in one of the spires that have been placed in four directions of Raspedo castle.
In a room where is no light, the girl spent her time loosely without doing anything.
Almost as she was imprisoned here for 10 years, completely lost her all life energy.
Actually, It still not reach even one year.
Now, Eleonora who lost her energy is looking exactly like the wilting exhausted flower.
Forced to comply the pronouncement of marriage by Cristobal, the second prince of Jaroudeku kingdom---that means that she gonna married off to the man, the ringleader who murdered her father---destroyed her country.
All of the facts was too harsh and disservice for the sheltered princess who was raised with care among a butterfly and flower.
Hardly to accept it, however, her continuing denial will result in the execution of the next target, her's cousin, Isadora.
No way out, Every choice are sealed.
Until then, she only wishes for a peacefully slumbering, almost as her heart could break too easily at any moment.
Before long, the girl gave up the resistance and just spent the presence day after day in the gloomy state.
(The way I lived so far, almost like a plant...)
TN: inner voice...
She, who was once being got admiring as a large blossoming flower, now got abandoned as a moss that crawling to the land.
She realized it.
The fact that until now she never decided anything by herself.
While face down on the bed, she stared at the wall of the room by slowly crawling her line of sight.
Such a dark, dreary room.
Her mental now is also similar to this room.
Surrounded by a thick wall with a few living reason end up suffocating oneself.
It may look like a respected tower from the outside but its content is empty.
A tear fell on her cheek and made a stain on the sheets.
Wondered what she should do in this world, what she can do.
It is not possible to resolve the difficulty but it was lacking any antidepressant will.
While tasted a sense of helplessness, the girl's limbs spreading ahead.
Even the power to stand up already long gone and not exist anymore.
[...please. somebody, help me...]
A slender tweet spun a "word", a proof of people's intention.
The last resistance that she could do in order to oppose her fate.
A faint voice than a whispered sound, floating along the ambient air---.
At that moment, her vision got shaking around.
The grate that fitted at the window got blown off, a stone wall that supposed to have a considerable robust got destroyed.
Does Eleonora'word hidden an unknown power ? of course, nope.
It has been destroyed by the hole in the wall, a large build knight that she was never seen before entering the room by penetrating the wall.
It demonstrated its ferocious force by breaking the around wall, it was the work of this armored knight.
Eleonora is not even get up, she keeps remain her sight on the situation before her with no reaction.
Rather than she did not respond, she was not able to react due to the too much surprising element.
[I-yah, etto...!? who, there--?]
A voice of lighter tone leaks from such the armored knight.
The arm that pulls down the string with was lifted up with barely sound and manifest the magic of fire in its hand.
The light spreading around and speculated at Eleonora who was frozen on the couch.
Chid who rush in by manipulating the Motor beat into the interior of the spire, cease his motion before the instant sight.
In the light that lit up vividly, a petite figure has emerged.
Probably much as his time of the year, a beautiful girl lie before him.
(....Uwah! this is, did I just hit a jackpot? maybe, but furthermore, she is a princess, right? ...how should I say, she so small just like Eru, also...extremely beautiful too.)
(TN: chid's inner voice...)
Actually, the current Eleonora is fully haggard both mentally and physically, she did not possess a vestige that has been praised beauty as a large blossom flower right now.
But there is not much face detail that could be seen in the dim light room, rather that, should call it just a Chid's temporary impression.
Although they had been staring at each other for some time during the silence as both two people lost their reaction, at last, the wit return to Chid, he hastily asks her a question.
[eh...ah... that. Kshyperuk's princess, would you kindly come with me?]
[...yes. a-no, you are, ...hah?]
While Eleonora got too much puzzled by the visited abruptly situation, she involuntarily obediently replies him back.
A sweet voice such as a birdsong tickled Chid's ear.
[I am..., eh... ah...this is such an awkward.]
Chid went back and secured his motor beat, open up the armor part. a chest armor and a helmet rashly, open its apart until around the thigh, belly, and waist area.
Exit from the armor, he removes the emblem from his bosom and held it out before Eleonora.
Eleonora who focus her eyes sticks to the knight with robust and height, round off her eye on the appearance of the boy who emerges from the bottom armor of its.
After got over the slight hesitation, the girl timidly inspects the emblem's detail.
The girl has received an education of the princess. soon she understands the meaning in this depicted emblem.
[This is, Fremmevir kingdom...are you perhaps from ....like aunt Martina?]
[Ah! exactly! then I...came to rescued...the lady...who like Martina...the princess...]
TN: This is interesting, his word really does not connect, Is Elleonora really that charming?
It takes a while for Eleonora in order to understand the meaning of the word that Chid shoot out.
To help, to escape, who? from where? the girl's mind came across with a fragment of thought.
But she not able to reach the conclusion.
She wants to try clinging on the offered helping hand but the girl hand and feet won't budge and did not move at all.
The resignation had scooped her mind, it not easily to wipe it out.
[Run away from here?...then, where on earth am I gonna run to?]
Even he just immediately come up with something called an escaping, Chid was thinking and tilted his neck over before the unexpected question.
[No matter place I go, it will be useless. this country already been ruined...and another thing, father is no...longer here anymore.]
Tear fall out at her latter half remark, even her word is withered.
Her weak heart can no longer endure any more despair.
Fear toward a blank future, that why she was motionless before this opportunity.
Even with the helping hand of powerful knight would be meaningless before her state.
(While she keep such an apparent, she was a small frail princess inside? ...I was wrong when assumed her to be the same as Eru...or maybe use Eru as a standard is already wrong in the first place...did I made a mistake at many points until now?)
Chid shook his head, after all, It's too much difficult to ignore the impression of his small childhood friend who never stops moving forward in his head.
He must concentrate on the girl who in front of his eyes right now.
Unlike that monster in the form of the young child, this girl is more like a delicate glasswork that would be immediately broken after being touched.
[All right, we are still here as your ally. once we got out of here, let go splashing on those guys who attacked you, let show them that you gonna regain back this country.]
Once she heard it, far from cheer up, Eleonora went sinking even deeper.
Look like it was a wrong word, Chid soaked up in a cold sweat.
[I am...weak. not able to do anything even I was called a princess, without anything. fight? where? I can't even move myself-desu...]
[Isn't fine for being weak? after all, the fight should be carried out by a knight, the strong person like us who fight with sword and armor.]
The return word came back with the diffidence, Eleonora who headed down until now raise up her face.
[ Who will listen...word is nothing more than a tool...who will follow and fight for someone like me?]
Recalled the figure of saying Cristobal, the girl was trembling.
Such an acne in her memory turned into a different form.
It became such a beast that sip her a flesh and blood.
As this rate, she will become a hollow one.
[There is one, after all, I am here.]
Chid stretched out his hand from to the back of the motor beat, conveying her with a clearly great will and determination.
Supplied by his magic, the assembled magic surgery formula crying, the armored machine begins to move.
Strumming the crystal tissue, the armor expanding and covering his hand and feet, sealed the chest armor part.
His appearance disappears from Eleonora eyes.
Instead, one knight clad in a heavy armor is now standing before her.
[In order to reprise you as a knight, I will wield the sword for your sake, I will protect you as your's knight.]
TN: the very line of the part!!
Eleonora who still remains silent looking up at the huge armor.
The armored knight and the boy who inside it floats up a small fire.
Now, their appearance is completely different to her, once it seemed to overlap with those who have lost their life from the fight in order to protect her.
[...mine...knight...can you protect me without dying?]
Chid remembered the knight gesture that he learn at the school, took the audience bow with a superlative great respect.
The motor beat down on its knee.
[Your royal highness. please give me my first responsibility as your knight.]
Chid just keep waiting, while the heavily remain silent passed, before long, a small murmur came out and reached him.
[...this place is...so disgusting. I am, why I have to married to the man who killed my father, I don't want to... please take me out of this place.]
[At your will!]
Eleonora grabbed the outstretched hand.
The chilly and soft feeling sense from the touching at Chid's hand assault his mind suffered an attack from such a weak small girl, Chid desperately collects his remaining consciousness in order to move the motor beat.
After a while that silhouette gear jumps off the tower, a slender scream resounded on the silence night.
Part 4. (Edited by Jazz3216)
The motor beat that Eru rode on jumped from the top floor of the steeple while holding Martina in it's arm.
Even you said that it was a pullout, it just a simple free-falling no matter how much you looking at it.
Leaving from the tower in such a very bold way.
However, it does not seem like a suicide at all since Martina withstood it without leaking any sound or clenching her teeth.
She just simply sitting normally as expected for the only daughter of Ambrosius.
Although the spire is very high but with a free-fall movement, it just only a blink of the eye to them when they almost reach the ground.
Looking at the ground that closing in rapidly, Martina indeed gasped.
At that time, motor beat extends the another arm and embracing her tightly, firing a shining silver arrowhead along with the sharp blowing sound.
The wire anchor is flying in the night and pierces into the wall.
With it's support, the motor beat reduce the falling impact velocity.
A sound of "Air Suspension" magic activated can be heard when nearing the ground.
A mass of compressed air lifts the motor beat on behalf of the ground softly.
In addition, motor beat also fully killed the remaining falling momentum completely and rise up as it was nothing unusual.
At it's surrounding, the other Shadow Rat are getting out and show themselves one after another.
[...Hah...even when I already prepared, It still a little rough. are you, are you really a knight!? It is really that we "escaping" for sure but... this is what you call insane]
For Eru, this is just a simple maneuver that he familiar with but it is not the case for the other person.
Listening to the protests voice of Martina who tries hard to calm down, however, he answered back with a cool look.
[If it just this much then it just a normal thing for knight of Fremmevir, you know?]
Martina floated a horrible imagination in the sky, while she did not return home for a while, did her home just turn into some kind of a den of thieves?
TN: –‚ŒA- den of thieves,red-light district --- or may be I should use a circus?
What Eru has just said is misleading her somehow, It is not entirely false but it just a truth limited to the Silver Phoenix knight order only.
Aside from that, the other troops begin to link up with Eru who reachs the meeting point first.
[Ou, look like aunty also made it safely! silver leader too, good work!]
Looking back to the familiar sultry voice origin, Emurys's Shadow Rat which got a handful with Isadora stood there.
Martina greatly relieved at the fact that she saw her daughter also made it out, although she is betting on the decision to believe Eru's word.
Soon, Ady's troops also linked up but she was empty-handed.
[My side was miss! ah, to cling on Eru-kun tightly like that...so jealous!!]
Ady's groaned was splendidly ignored as usual.
Then a little late later, Chid join up while he got handful hugging Eleonora as the last one.
Silver Phoenix knights manage to successfully rescue every member of Kshyperuk royal family that being held captive.
[Now that all royal family who had been caught are all gathered, seem like we don't have any trouble, right? Yosh, lets get away from this place, shall we?]
[Even you said that but the commotion already spread around the castle. they will definitely focus on a gate, how are you gonna slip out! can you overcome them with only this much war potential?]
Martina who harboring anxiety is trying to state the obvious fact, she doubts this "conventional war potential" which mainly composed of infantry.
Eru replied her with a smile.
[In the first place, there is no need for us to go at the gates.]
After his words, everyone starts running toward the wall.
Running without wire anchor and standing against the walls.
What they need in order to escape is speed.
Using the magic "Aero Thrust" without hesitation, the party got throw up secretly.
TN: Aero Thrust : a magic that creates an air compressed propulsion.
The sound of air compressed explosion roaring while the frame of silhouette gear accelerating with an explosive speed.
They just leave it to the propulsion momentum, went up with strange ran with a speed on the towering walls that vertically from the ground.
The stuffed Martina group lost for words as such a thing before their eyes.
The silhouette gear troops that overcame the walls splendidly are the existence that massively lacks common sense as they just came jump out and head toward the darkness.
They rebound themselves with a recoil from "Aero Thrust" explosion, the silhouette gear troops flew out to the other side of the moat easily.
For them, it is just too easy for them when met with such an obstacles.
Silhouette gear troops entered the city and running through the top of the roof.
Depending on a mana pool size of each individual, the speed performance of silhouette gear is even greater than a horse in short distance travel.
Faster than the laid security network can relay a news about the confusion in the castle to the city security, Silver Phoenix knight armor troops are on the verge from escaping from Fontanie city.
At that time, Raspedo castle still under the confusion and no intel at all, they were not able to take any action.
After all, the guard who was stationed there still not clearly understands where does the intruder come from or where did they leave after they were outwitted in the middle of the night.
However, this is not normally commotion for the guard who was assigned to protect the spire since all Kshyperuk's royal family are now certainly escaped.
[D, Damn you. what a, what a blunder! how the heck I gonna report this to his highness!!]
Dorote who is the commander was entrusted with the castle responsibility yelling out a thundering roar.
A full fierce anger roar enough to involuntarily silence and stop the moment of the surrounding soldiers.
He usually a relatively mild person but now blown up with an anger like a furious volcano.
[What happen to the thief!? where does it run to!? Is there anyone who saw their figure!!]
[A, about that...the soldiers who protect the castle gate reported that they did not see any thief appearance. Soldiers at that time appeared to be patrolling so we end up not able to got any intel....]
Dorote raises a creak and clenches his teeth after got flustered when hearing his subordinate report.
The soldiers who foresaw the eruption fall back a half step on their own but Dorote remain silent.
Punishing all soldiers here would be meaningless, rather that, he must think for the next move.
The escaping of Kshyperuk royal family must not be allowed.
If they were stolen, then it must be recovered back at all cost.
For that reason, He will do everything regardless the method.
[At this rate...Damn it! mobilize the entire soldiers in the city to scan throughly the entire area range! if they already escaped from the town at worst case! then, Airship!! go immediately prep the flying airship. send it out to searching the outside town area...don't let them escape at all cost, whatever it takes!!]
Immediately after he said that, the soldiers start running fiercely to the "Air Field".
[Did you said "Thief"!? who on earth is them...remnants of Kshyperuk? there is no way they have such a force. that would be an unexpected explanation to the story. but no matter who is it, those who get in the way of his highness, I will crushed them until nothing remain!]
Dorote Marudonness---the person who was a loyal old veteran to Jaroudeku kingdom is now risk everything in order to track back the royal family.
Part 5. (Edited by Jazz3216)
The silhouette gear troops escaped from Fontanie as quick as gale heading into the woods as it is near the city.
Use the simple forest to hide from the deployed pursuers because they escape safely from the castle.
[Although It is quite rough, Did you get hurt somewhere? since we already made a preparation, please wait a moment. the transportation from now on will be changed.]
Martina who finally got off from motor beat's arm starts to rise up with an unsteady step.
The face of the woman did not hide the color of fatigue that has been through a fierce marching.
[You called that "a little"? hey, that was quite an exciting experience. but Jaroudeku's pursuer will be catching soon. To outrun them is not an easy task, how on earth are you plan to do from here?...]
During the time she said that, Martina's voice become lighter and lighter when she noticed the presence that lies before her eyes.
Shine with the moonlight, illuminating a huge figure crouched in the forest.
It was a figure of half man half horse, the majestic figure of centaur knight, Tzendrinble.
[... this thing...just what in the world is this?]
Martina group gasped from the breathtaking display of the mysterious thing while every member of silver phoenix knights is preparing in haste.
Two units of Tzendrinble along with two wagons were parked by at this place.
They walk to the wagon and hop on one of them while silhouette gears being stored in another one.
Then Chid and Ady jumped up and entering the cockpit of Tzendrinble.
The ether reactor which was set in an inactive mode now starting up, the centaur knight leak a neigh as a sign of awakening.
A voice reached Martina who remained stunned looking at how they proceed with preparation , Eru's voice pulling her conscious back to real world.
[then, Everyone, please get on the wagon. we will leave soon. since if we didn't go soon, we will not able to get away from this place far enough as we planned.]
[Y...yes...]
Martina who finally only answered him shortly pinched Isadora's cheek who was stand behind and still in her own's world.
The girl group already got startled at the knight who ride in silhouette gear but this centaur knight had delivered more impact than that.
Also, they never heard about any silhouette knight in another form than a human form before.
Emurys who rose up here saying that this thing was made in Fremmevir kingdom.
The girl group got stunned from the unexpected mind exhausted question and answer that occurring while they got across the street on the wagon.
[...I have not gone back for while, Just what on earth happening in Fremmevir kingdom...?]
[Ha Ha! there still more to see after this. then, Aunty, you should take a loot at this!]
They did not amazed at Emurys's appearance while he guiding them but they wonder why Emurys showing the guts pose while he at it instead.
TN: hmnn...must be some kind of Macho Pose!! just imagine that someone makes a weird pose that shows off his muscle while that person also guiding you on something....
The girl group was guided to the waiting room inside the wagon.
Originally, It was a room that a knight runner use for rest when they on the long distance travel, the internal may look a bit cheap in its own way.
Eleonora is just only one who still in embarrassment behind Martina group who got on board with curiosity.
[...This is...a reality...really happen...?]
Believed in the boy's word that he would become Her knight, thus, she hardened her resolve to escape, the scene in front of her eye is too realistic as almost a lie.
Her mind can no longer successfully recognize the reality, thus, she finally begun to think.
About the rescue, got stuck in Raspedo castle too, her weak heart had witnessed a good scene of convenience too much.
There is too many things that happen at once.
Many things that can't be accepted with her frail spirit.
[It gonna be fine, Your royal highness.]
A word flew from the centaur knight toward such a half-sleep person as her.
A voice of boy knight reaches out to her, it was a huge, fearsome, centaur knight but the girl wonders why she can clearly see the boy figure behind its crystal eyeball.
[Just leave it to me, I and this Tzendrinble will definitely escort you to the safe place.]
Her knight's word pulled her back to the harsh reality. because it was her command, and he answered it. how can she not believe in this knight? After gathering a bit of determination, the girl goes stand up.
[...Yes, please do...]
Her slender voice would have been drowned out immediately in this place due to a driving acoustic of silhouette knight, however, the boy's ear clearly heard it.
[Hou hou! Chid...you just suddenly looking motivated-ne! As I thought, Chid is still a boy after all... did you already fallen for the beautiful princess?]
[Shut it. I just...that it, it...is a duty...as members of silver phoenix knight order!]
[Houuu---Uho ho ho ho ho. good, good for you, I wish to get motivated like that too! just like that.]
[Garghh!! You will make the other people misunderstand it, Ady!!]
While the two siblings chatting at each other, all preparation has been completed.
Eru voice came from silhouette knight which got carried on the wagon.
[Yeah, yeah, both you two, surely energetic. get ready. then, Silver Phoenix knight...let begins!]
The two Tzendrinble begin to move. with a neigh sound.
Head toward an end of the eastern side of Old Kshyperuk kingdom.
The fledgling knight becomes strong by rescuing the bounded princess.
Part 6. (Edited by Jazz3216)
One flying airship rowing through the wind and hop on Aubigne's ridges at dawn.
Dorote had been sitting deeply on the captain's seat while listening to a sound of wind torrent that came through a glass window.
Basking in the dazzling morning sun, he putting his hand on his head showing how frustated he is.
Him and the airship which carrying his troops had left Fontanie and heading toward the east of Old Kshyperuk castle in the night.
For the airship which is not affected by the terrain, it advances extremely fast compared to other transportation means such as horse-drawn carriage and silhoutte knight.
They already move forward into the east.
[...Where...where the hell in this land...the fled royal family should be somewhere around here!]
The line of sight of Dorote pouring around a map for possible location of Old Kshyperuk royal family on the captain's seat.
It's not something that he made recently with haste but it was an extremely detail one.
He borrowed it from Raspedo castle with him.
Moving by flying airship may be fast but there also a weakness since
the way to read the course is completely different.
if moving by land then following road and the city itself is already a course mark.
But now they have seen it all from a bird's eye view, all of the circumstances will be different.
A compass and a map, seeing the scenery view from above to the terrain and imagine collates it all---had replaced the land's navigator, It require such capability.
From such a situation, the strategic value of a high precision map had been growing even more.
[Impossible, so it is heading east?]
A number is written on the map.
To determine the course, Dorote and "Air Navigator" group who traces all lead signs debate together.
They don't want to create a simple conclusion.
There was a good reason for that they took a course to the east.
First, Dorote has been speculating that royal family will run not away to the west. because west of Fontanie mean fled to the central of Old Kshyperuk kingdom which they have no ally there.
He remember at that time.
For some time, the rumors about an unidentified enemy had a rampage in the land of the east, the unstable east area.
And now, the royal family suddenly got took away.
Everything leads to a single conclusion so it was no unusual thought.
[Seem like the course they were taken, is around this place. We can catch them with the airship.]
Next, he set a course along the highway.
Predicting that the escaped royal family would focus on the speed.
They have one chance to caught them in the middle way secretly since the wheel track from the beginning still not trodden here.
if the royal family want to move as fast as possible, they will use a highway in order to move quickly.
The remaining question is the searching "range".
Since it is extremely difficult to searches in the midnight, they had been devoted to just moving so far.
Now it already dawns, they must narrow down where to search.
With a certain course of a search, no matter how fast the airship flying, they will not catch up.
Airship movement becomes possible by using a "Blow Engine" and it strongly affected by the weather.
[...also...even the wind is flowing to the east?... what a favorable one...]
Dorote is giving command to his subordinates while there is a sharp light in his pupil.
by following the wind direction the airship speed is increasing.
A creak of the hull that sounds occasionally reach his ears, he sharpens his fangs quietly toward the mission time.
Part 7. (Edited by Jazz3216)
While Martina group basking in the morning light, Silver Phoenix knights carried them and running non-stop on "Kshyeru road" passing through Old Kshyperuk kingdom.
[Mother, look! to already reached this place in over a night ,this is really absurd.]
[I hope that my eyes play trick on me but...that thing, to be faster than a horse, furthermore, a silhouette knight that can keep running like this...truly an absurdity...]
Emurys only respond is by shrugging his body when he heard what Martina and her daughter said,
The imitation of half horse half man, Tzendrinble specialty is in the moving performance.
Furthermore, it also had a tough endurance due to the two units of ether reactor which allow it to display a real potential in the long distance movement more than anything.
Even when taking a fatigue of knight runner into account, theoretically, it is still possible to cross the continent without rest at all.
As a result of running through the night by Ady and Chid, the distance that they traveled is beyond common sense and greatly took back the Martina group.
[Tzendrinble...is it...to able completed this strange silhouette knight, Rys-nii's subordinates is a bit of strange...]
[Is that so? maybe because a horse is an ally of the knight, I thought that was a good idea too, but rather than that, when I saw this guy for the first time, I did want to jump on it for the first try...]
[To think of such a thing really like Rys-nii...]
Emurys just puzzled and made a Hm! sound.
[Isn't fine? with it, we were able to help everyone, after all, it will take him away.]
Martina and Isadora looked at each other.
They also knew each other long enough, no need to say anything at all.
But if there are more things that break the common sense, it will be a burden on their mind.
[So, in the end, you never been involved with "Detailed thing", right? surely, we should able to outrun from the hand of pursuer if it was this fast.]
[For now, we will link up with the main force. then after that, I like to make an attack! because I still did not return the favor to that rumored idiot prince.]
Martina's face tightens when hearing Emurys proud declaration but deep down it assured her.
[Rys, listen carefully, certainly, you had led the strong knight more than I thought. but the enemy is the Jaroudeku kingdom, not a small fry enemy. the knights who try to protect our country got a countless mortality, despite that, they still unmatch for them. but for you to carelessly said that you gonna launch a fight...I am the one here who disagree with it.]
the conversation that happens until now is still in a relaxed manner but the situation turns at this point.
Suddenly, a bell that fitted in the waiting room sounded.
TN: resound with a Klang! Kang! Kan! sound as SFX sound.
This is just a simple function in the Tzendrinble cockpit, something for use as a means to communication.
You can tell the meaning by verifying the tone ring of a bell same as a code and the meaning of today's tone is....
["Abnormal situation, be vigilant" huh?... by the rumors, don't tell me that they have a thing that able to chase Tzendrinble. look like it is as Aunty said, I'm underestimating the enemy!]
As he said that, Emurys had jumped out of the waiting room like a gust.
He heads toward the cockpit of the golden lion (Gordesleo) that sitting on the wagon.
Martina who was left behind rounded her eyes at the sudden situation and immediately understood the meaning of what he said.
[How...It can't be, We already been this far....no, don't tell me...how...can even enemy catching up in this place...with the speed of centaur knight!]
Martina jump to the window of the waiting room, peek out at the landscape behind with her eyes open wide.
There was a black point as a stain on the clear sky at the spreading dawn.
She doesn't need much time to figure it out.
[Airship...of Jaroudeku kingdom!]
The flying airship is stretching it sail to the end of left and right side while screeching at a mast of the hull.
While peeping with a telescope at the front distant view mirror of the bridge, Dorote floated a ghastly smile that covered his beard mouth.
[When you follow the wind, they also lead you to whatever thing that riding it...I bet this is my win! I finally found you, Kshypreuk's royalties! you shall not escape...!!]
Overflowing with a spirit of old man, he crossed the bridge to breathe.
He passed the telescope to his subordinates and issue a command.
[Get the airship above them!! We are going to drop a Tyrantor on them directly. The royalty surely in our hand right now, we will take them along the way, First, release the sealed "Catapult"!]
[Roger that, speed up, lower the altitude!! prepare the catapult!]
The men recite his order and begin to move at once.
The wind engine is challenging the output limit of the centaur knight mana pool, it caused a strong air current around the ship.
While above the normal further speed, airship begin lower the altitude platform.
The upcoming speed of the ship at that time far exceeded the speed of Tzendrinble.
With the flying airship caught up with an unbelievable speed from behind, Chid & Ady who piloted Tzendrinble had been staring at such a scene which stunned in a middle way.
[Oi oi...what the hell is that, that thing! it's a ship, a ship flying in the sky!]
[Ship can't fly right?...right??? to think there is someone who makes strange thing just like Eru-kun]
Both of them got curious at the appearance of the airship which they saw for the first time.
They chatting this and that while forgets that it's the enemy's pursuers. suddenly, The airship is about come up with something and they were forced back to the reality.
They are talking while forgetting about the enemy's presence. suddenly, the airship is about to come up with something and they were forced back into the reality.
[Keh, Not good! It starts attacking!]
While changing the course in a hurry, a stone bullet was coming around Tzendrinble.
The stone bullet that flew with the help of gravity force went gouge the ground and make echoing sound along the way.
The aim is sketchy, only a few shots manage to hit a highway.
Judging from the result of this degree's attack, look like the penetrate power is no joke as a tree went sinking in the land, Chid and Ady break out in a cold sweat.
judging from the impact, the penetrate power is no joke as a tree broke down from the attack of the stone bullet, Chid and Ady break out a cold sweat.
[Kusso! at this rate, It will catch up. Is this not quite a bit sneaky?]
The speed of Tzendrinble that shook its course is slowing.
The airship keeps chasing and closing without a gap.
At that time, Dorote has commanded the sortie preparation in the airship.
His body already sat in the cockpit of Tyrantor,
All knight runners already sitting inside in the cockpit of six Tyrantor that lined up.
All knight runners already sitting inside the lined up 6 Tyrantor.
He is quickly going to the next move, for that reason, he is gonna lead his squad directly himself.
The airship's figurehead that fitted with a wind engine release a great artificial wind, the airship take a hunched course over the centaur knight.
It keeps advancing while lower the altitude enough hit the around tree, despite that, it does not stop the black knight that soon will be dropping from its belly.
it keeps advancing while also lowering the altitude and also hitting the trees, despite that it does not stop the black knight dropping from its belly.
[The time has come, we must take this opportunity, end this in one's breath, let's go!]
[Contact!!]
The centaur knight is disturbed by the looming airship.
In the next moment, the luggage that placed on the top of the wagon blowing its cover.
Emitted a roar, openly extending the four arms of its back, the irregular demon, Ikaruga begins to move.
in the cockpit, Eru ignores everything but the kitchen sink as the situation become tense, his eyes also glued at the holo-monitor.
His face is lovely but his blooming smile was filling with crucially intense intention.
[Arrr...My god,....My goddd! An airship...amazing, It's amazing! It really floating with its entire hull. wrong.... It did not sail like a "Ballon Airship". I don't understand, It does not match the rule of "that world"(Earth). surely that there must be something that I don't know, surely.... there must be something nice up there, right!?]
[TN: this is a reason that you should not show the toy to a child, right?]
He is accelerating while also creating a roar.
The maneuver of Ikaruga was too complicated to the point that it can't be deal with the normal conventional method, It needs a direct control support from the computer knowledge that Eru know. with that, his intentions become a will of the demon which had begun to crazily dash out bravely.
[Both of you, please continue to keep Tzendrinble marching like this, about that thing, that flying airship, I will eat it! "Itadakimasu"!!]
TN: ‚いただきます expression of gratitude before meals
Ikaruga's body jump off from the carriage after told Tzendrinble in a modest way.
Ikaruga landed on a highway and unleashing a huge magical power which stored in its body.
Magius jet thruster starts roaring up, create a fierce acceleration that even left the Tzendrinble behind.
The demon god, the one machine in the world that incorporated with a heart that once belongs to the monsters such as Behemoth & Shell cast Queen.
Ikaruga is soaring up, blowing off to the sky while cobbling a road as a reaction.
[What the hell is that thing!? It...It coming this way!?]
Ikaruga rose up red in the sky with the massive output power of magius jet thruster, flying to the airship in just a straight line.
It purely seeks to aim only for the airship, without any hesitation, ram on it with a collision course which packed with the shortest distance momentum.
Even there is a certain excellent function that allows the airship in the sky for a long period of time, it still needs to rely on the wind as its driving propulsion.
To said that such a thing will escape from the demon who flying at a high speed of an explosive flame would be a ground baseless talk.
Moreover, it was a place that was close to the Airship that catching up with Tzendrinble.
Sailors who got attacked all look at the figure from the bridge and screaming at their best before such an abnormal situation.
First of all, as they looked at the unknown silhouette knight clad in flame, they do not know what's going on.
Then, while they are in fear and confusion at the sound that Ikaruga released.
[What is wrong? Is there something happen!? What happen to the dropping sequence?]
The waiting Dorote who was impatiently and eager to join the war has noticed that something happen.
[Hyiii, W....We don't know! A...Abnormality....Silhouette knight is here!? it just dropped and clinging on our ship, sir!!]
when he Heard his subordinates who report in a confused manner, Dorote stares blankly at the hull wall. MISHIRI! MISHIRI! a creaking sound raising on the outer plate.
TN: ƒミシリŠ SFX sound.
He immediately understood that something just crawls up on the airship.
The horror run up to his back.
After hesitated for a moment, Dorote immediately starts up his Tyrantor.
He blows up the outer plate that Ikaruga had clung on from the inside and destroyed the scaffold, causing Ikaruga to fall.
Eru is startled from this action but he manages with the injection from magius jet thruster and sustain himself in the midair vertically, and end up with a distance behind.
An appearance of Tyrantor that raised up its back weapon looking through a large hole that opened in the fuselage of the flying airship.
It's the one that Dorote piloted.
He has perceived the strange threat and utilizing the powerful back weapon to blow out the outer hull that enemy clung on.
Dorote still keeps shooting from there.
[Ahaha, a nice reaction, you look superb! here you go ,I will shoot back! for your unreserved attack.]
Dodging the attack with the great mobility, Ikaruga unpacks a sword cannon that attached to its waist.
The internal mechanism is expanding the blade and firing a large number of magic cannon, a very fierce counter attack.
A flame bullet shot by sword cannon piercing the flying airship one after another, the sprayed of roar flame penetrate the outer wall, developed internally in flames.
Causing a continuous explosion and blowing off the wall.
Penetrating the armor of the flying airship which supposedly can withstand against a normal magic bullet.
Before the unique demon output of Ikaruga that greater than any another machine, it was an unexpected.
[This is Absurd!! what a power.... Not good, at this rate, the airship will fall!!]
In that moment, Dorote's mind came across with many choices.
To capture Kshyperuk's royal, for that reason they must drop the black knight at all cost but if this sky demon was left unchecked, the flying airship will easily fall.
In the first place, can he defeat it with a black knight? he was not fully confidence. just one thing that he is certain, at this rate, the airship will definitely fall and his plan will fail along with it.
[Damnnnnnn ittttttttt!!!]
By thinking around, his decision was made.
Dorote's Tyrantor holding up a shield at the exposed hole in the flying airship hull.
He received a direct hit of roaring flame that exceeds the usual blow power, a fragment of crystal tissue came off and scatter by the blown that shook his entire body from his shield.
He was on his knees in just a few shots, the one that specializes in robustness as Tyrantor is now barely moving.
[...Emergency turning! now! leave this area immediately!!]
The men who saw Dorote's behavior followed it instantly.
Furthermore, the airship is unsteadily changing course to prevent more destruction of the black knight from the magic attack.
[A-re? even I took that much of trouble to coming all the way here, are you done already? that is no good-desu. I still not satisfied....yet?]
While remaining in the frenzy, Eru who is trying to give a chase look back behind the commotion.
There are something following the Tzendrinble, shadows running along the highway.
[That is...A detached force!....now you finally did it!...]
In that moment, Eru was lost in thought.
The remaining power of Ikaruga is probably enough to chase the airship at this rate.
But he will leave Tzendrinble behind .
The goal of Silver Phoenix knights is to assure the safety and bring back Kshyperuk's royalty is now obstructing his own goal.
With little reason left in the corner of his mind, he halted his desire.
[Fuuu...Fine. that ship, I will let you have it for now. when we meet again... I will eat it to my heart's content, without leaving any piece of its part.]
Eru turn around Ikaruga after left a word of wholehearted chagrin.
Leaving by flipping the heat haze of explosive flame, Ikaruga flew back fast to the original position of Tzendrinble
Part 8. (Edited by Jazz3216)
Go back to the time before the airship encountered the Tzendrinble.
There is a shadow dashing in the forest that spread around the highway.
When to compare it with the surrounding area, the shadows is a huge figure with the height of 10 meters, in another word, it was a silhouette knight.
Nevertheless, its speed is unusual, it was faster than the average silhouette knight by many times.
There is still more strange part, in addition, the shadows hardly make any noise when running.
Not to mention about the muscles driving's sound, even the intake and exhaust sound of Ether reactor also can't be heard, its presence was unbelievable thin.
The silhouette knight frame is very slender, highly emphasized in agility.
It could be said that it was paper thin build among the type, there was a strange sharp claw at both of its hand and shoulders.
Another strange characteristic would be its head.
There is nothing that can be said about the design in its head, beside holes to ensure its viewing field, it just has a smooth curved surface.
A "Nonfacial characteristic" being---is moving without a sound, its impression can be assumed as one that belongs to a ghost.
The number of ghosts is not only one. two machines, three machines---An assembled troops of such machines is progressing by jumping up and down in the forest.
On their path, there is a figure of centaur knight which ran on a highway.
The purpose of this ghost is clear.
They just suddenly increased their speed and heading to the road.
Before long, they just doing a huge leap and danced on top of the highway.
Only a shadow presence that just falls on the road soundlessly.
They drew near without alert to the Tzendrinble which focus on the running and pouncing on it---with the sharp claws in their both hand.
[Oi, newcomer!? Who the hell are you!?]
An attack of a large sword that swinging with a storm's speed repelled and sent the ghost flying back into a forest.
The wielder of such a sword can be no one except Emurys's Gordesleo which stood on top of the wagon.
Golden lion does not have a valid weapon against an airship, so It remains to stick with this wagon to escort the horse-drawn carriage.
[That was a close one! don't tell me that the airship was a decoy? that is really a nasty tactic!!]
Emurys re-stance his golden lion with a sword and now, kneeling on the top of the wagon.
Because Tzendrinble is on the move, it was impossible for him to launch a further attack.
Such a situation that can't do anything but waiting is really unpleasant for him.
Without teasing him too much, the ghost comes attacking again.
It runs pala pala and jumps out of the woods, aim for catching the wagon that towed by Tzendrinble again.
For the unstable foothold such as a moving wagon, It extremely hard to move because of the limited place for the golden lion to swing its large sword around.
Although he manages to push the enemy away, it's really not easy to reduce its number with a sword.
The irritation is disturbing Emurys's mind.
[If this was a land battle, I would turn them into iron scrap long time ago! it is regrettable but we can't stop the Tzendrinble either...]
He is not the only one who harbored the impatience.
[Geezz, this thing. Just when Eru still not back! We need to shake this thing off, somehow...]
Tzendrinble is wielding a spear cavalry but it can't attack the ghost.
Because it is continuing to run and pulling the wagon, far from a decent fight, it even can't fight back at all, by unable to have one way with it but the defense only has turned this into in a desperate situation.
Also, look like the ghosts also understand that fact as well, it only come persistence from behind Tzendrinble.
They were in a battle that they were vastly outnumbered and the situation is too bad.
Gradually, turning into a dangerous situation.
The ghosts have jumped in unison again.
Gold lion and Tzendrinble was restrained to brandishing their specialized weapon.
Gradually, because of keeping the concentration they are piling up the fatigue.
Finally, one ghost machine manages to slip out from their overwatch and jump on the wagon at the different period.
[This is bad! I can't evade it....]
The ghost is jumped into the bosom of Tzendrinble.
Its arm rushing with at a furious speed and aiming at the belly of the defenseless horse.
The concealed weapon of a ghost packed with enough power to penetrate silhouette knight frame.
The moment before the very sharp claws gonna gouged into the belly of Tzendrinble.
A very long spear of flame pierced the belly of a ghost before it can land its attack.
A blast turns the thin armor of a ghost that emphasis on quickness into smithereens and debris in an instant.
There is a thing that jumped follow the flame while blowing off the dust cloud of destruction on the highway.
[You guys are.....how dare of you, because of you guys, the airship got to escape! allow me to express my thank!...]
Releasing an explosive flame and thunderous sound, shooting words that burning with anger, it is the masked devil with the six arms, Ikaruga.
When Ikaruga catching up to Tzendrinble, it was flying with the speed as a crimson flame, and keeping like that, Soon it landed on the top of the wagon.
[You guys really are worthy enough as an airship replacement...you will pay with your body]
Ikaruga which just landed on the wagon stretching out its folded arms from the back grabbed a reserved sword cannon that stored on the wagon.
Its figure rises almost like a hedgehog, directing its sword cannon in all direction.
Increasing its stretch, the demon is roaring.
The terrifying magic that stored in the body is now released,
An attack that can destroy everything is coming out from the sword cannon.
Shot at every tree, blow and penetrated everything includes the ghost that jumps into a forest too.
For the ghost that tries to break away with its high-speed sprint, it can't avoid the surrounding explosion and got caught with it and decimated.
All hands of the furious demon are slaughtering every single ghost machines, all ghosts are turned into corpses in no time.
Ikaruga just incidentally changing the entire landscape.
Part 9.
A lone flying airship staggering soar in the sky of dusk.
Suffered from a magic attack of the raging demon, Dorote's airship somehow barely escaped from it.
It was a fierce appearance that burned down many sections of the outer walls even distorted the steel frame.
Because they fled with maximum speed in that state which creates and piled up a strain, now, the hull is in bad shape and soon will reach its limit.
The only blessing among this unfortunate fate is that Ether floating device still intact.
Once this thing broke down, the airship will be not able to float in a sky anymore.
[...lower the altitude. don't crash it.]
Dorote who sat on the captain's seat, spit out the word in a gloomy state.
Go back to the time that fights the demon, how come that it did not give a chase?
In vice versa, there must be anything that poses a threat greater than this ship.
The men have quietly followed his instructions, the ship landed on the ground.
Now that the ship in no longer usable, they have no choice but go back with Tyrantor's foot from here.
Even that Tyrantor which got damaged and destroyed by protecting the airship also in a plight for transportation purpose.
Before Dorote's squad who got off the ship leaves this place, there is something that they must do.
That is destroyed the airship.
The airship is a unique and crucial weapon of Jaroudeku kingdom.
Although it got a heavy damage and not able to fly anymore, he can't leave it in that state.
Dorote manipulates Tyrantor raise its small battle hammer in a jerk motion.
He applies an unnecessary force on the control stick that he hold, trembling even now.
Lose the ship, lose the black knight.
Furthermore, fail to recover the fled Kshyperuk's royalty.
A grave blunder that he does not dare to ask a pardon.
Almost as Dorote has lost everything.
It would be better if he was sunk together with the airship---such a self-punishing thought is now piling up in his mind.
At that time, one of his men who watched the entire situation pointed beyond a sky noisily.
Beyond the line of sight of all members, there is a black point that has been a stain in the sky.
That is an approaching airship which gonna reach them soon.
Two vessels of airship are advancing toward the west under the twinkling night star.
One intact airship, behind it, the second airship that has a trace of mysterious damaged on its hull is towing by the first one from behind.
Without saying that one belong to Dorote's fleet.
It advances steadily and takes a cruise with intending to pick them up.
Dorote who leave Tyrantor cockpit looking at the picking airship and the face of his subordinates, he showed a look of relief.
But his face distorts immediately, take a rough walk foot step from the hanger to the bridge.
An appearance of Dorote who went up the ladder appears into the scene of the bridge.
He keeps an eye on them in one place.
At the person who sat on the captain'seat who take up position in that place
[...So, as expected, it's you, Sir Gerhild.]
he walks to captain seat and called the name of the female knight who sat on it.
One of the knights of Jaroudeku kingdom was sitting there, the Grandmaster who led his Steel Fang knights, Gerhild Hietakannas.
While She always abiding with her leering smile, she breaks the greeting.
[Yeah, it's me, or there is something that you want to complain?]
[....Oh no..you jest, I am truly grateful on behalf of my subordinates....]
Their relationship is not that much close.
If anything, Gerhild is more like a person who stand behind the scenes of the surrounding.
Witness at emaciation appearance of the unnatural Dorote, she express her doubts.
[So, What happen? Aren't you his highness best men? being got truly slapping like that. isn't that a bit sorrowful state? It's not what am I thinking right?]
Dorote did not hide his bitter situation, he groaning at the whole situation include his blunder from the other day.
[....and that is all of my stories, maybe I really go senile. It was shameless to accept that we got defeated by some silhouette knight in the night, moreover, it was a completely beaten.]
The demon who cornered them was an unbelievable enemy even for the veteran warrior as Dorote.
[...my fate is sealed and done. this blunder would probably cost my life.]
The cool and daring air of Jaroudeku military instructor do not exist there at him anymore.
By looking at his feeble appearance, Gerhild spat out a word while frowning.
[Tch! by giving that dedicated wrinkle neck, you think that gonna redeem the mistake? I really can not say amazing...]
[...Then...then, how the heck I have to do in order to atone for this, this grave blunder?]
[This is why a warmonger is....! Listen! the royal family got escaped , lost both the airship and black knight, both of them are worse. but the worst is you come back home without having any single bit of information about the enemy.]
Gerhild led the Copper Fang knights which are a group that stands between them.
Their main role is collecting information also assassination depending on the case.
Dorote becomes thoughtful with a word of different logic from the knight.
Determine to make an atonement, he slightly forces a comeback.
[But, as I say about the situation, the enemy is clearly outlandish as this was a grave blunder, It will reach his highness ears soon. now, We must make a comeback at the situation, I will gladly offer my neck on the plate at a later time.]
Changing by a little wind, the usual dialogue can be heard, Gerhild is tentatively looked up to heaven as she did not have to give him any more medicine.
[How refreshing, well, if you gonna die anyway then, you should die when fought the enemy and drag them to their death at least]
The girl teasing him as she seriously nodded while saying her word of joke.
Part 10 (Edited with Thanh Do suggestion and Jazz3216)
The ancient Kshyperuk kingdom capital, Dell Van Cool.
After the end of King Agusty's duel, this city had turned into the biggest military base of Jaroudeku invasion force.
TN: gonna change King's name from Akatsuki to Agusty
The current progress of invasion of Kshyperuk kingdom almost nearly complete as they took control over the royal castle in the center of the capital that belong to the Kshyperuk kingdom.
One Airship was flying under the clear sky and arrived a Dell Van Cool.
It landed on the Air Field that is being built in Dell Van Cool after the ownership of the city had been changed.
The place is just a simple leveling bare ground, make it easy to land and take off, it being used a lot by the airship as this was a Jaroudeku's army base.
Now, one airship is on the verge of landing, it tries to find a vacant place to land.
Then, after a while, at the "Audience Chamber" in the middle of the royal castle, the relic that once belongs to the royalty, a displeased voice of Cristobal Hasslo Jaroudeku, The second prince of Jaroudeku kingdom, was echoed.
[What did you say?...the princess...was taken away!?]
He went trembling in rage and risen up, as soon as he kicks up the throne that belongs to the Kshyperuk king, one man knee down.
Dorotea Mardones, who served as the right arm of Cristobal, his confidant subordinate.
He was immediately summoned as soon as he arrived in this city via the previous airship.
[Dorote... a man in your caliber should know how valuable that princess is!! and you allow the thief to take her away,got the airship destroyed and nonchalantly fled back with the remaining black knight? what kind of blunder is this? Hahhhh!]
The roar unleashed by Cristobal is resounding into the room again.
while Chris keeps mocking Dorote, Dorote did not attempt to refute and still keeps his knees down.
[Would you wake up already? Cris. how long are you gonna keep this up? for the supreme commander to be distraught to this degree.]
A cold voice came from the entrance between the audience reached the frenzied Cristobal.
The first princess Catalina, Cristobal's sister stood there.
[Elder sister....but!]
[...raise your head, first what actually happen? tell me everything without leaving any small detail. I will think about your punishment after that.]
[Haa!]
Dorote finally rises his face up however, he still kneeling while groaning and speaking about the thiefs that attacking the Raspedo castle.
[...then, by the time that I noticed it, all members royal family of Kshyperuk was already taken away. I am unworthy of your trust and don't have any excuse on this matter, I already prepared myself to receive your punishment.]
While listening, Cristobal's expression had been filled with bitterness.
For them, the princess among the royalty of Kshyperuk, Eleonora is a necessary "Tool" in order to stable their governing power over Kshyperuk territory.
The current power that Jaroudeku kingdom possess already overwhelming, It does not require any extra effort in order to dominate and get Kshyperuk territory under its control.
[To think that it's not only the princess but the other royal members too? Unbelievable, for you to got defeated by such weakling enemy as Kshyperuk soldiers...]
While Cristobal had been examined the word of calm Dorote, he suddenly felt that something wrong.
He knew Dorote for a long time.
Somehow, it was like a senior-junior relationship, Dorote was always called the hand of Jaroudeku's army, some even called him the maker.
It would be a more logical reason if Kshyperuk's soldiers were the one who being hunted down, He unable to find an answer.
Catalina who sinking in her thought while stood beside him also had a similar idea, She looks up.
[You...are right. even the castle was attacked by 1000 men of Kshyperuk's soldiers, It still impossible for them to take away the royal family that guarded by Dorote. If that is the case, does that mean the one who behind this should be...a soldier from "A different country" , right?]
[Damn you, so that is what it is about! Tch, although, I thought that someone may make a move. to got an extra interrupted at the endgame!]
Cristobal growing a bitter look while listening to his elder sister's word.
They had reached a conclusion, a very nasty possibility.
If you take away the royal family then, the nobles in the old Kshyperuk is not a small problem.
If there is any problem, Jaroudeku just needs to conquer the country again with their war potential.
However, if another country is the one who caused this then the story become more complex.
After all, It will interfere via "The greatest righteous person" of the royal family.
Nothing but a trouble.
They also considered about interference from the other countries beforehand and already prepared a countermeasure.
Since Jaroudeku kingdom had been carefully prepared for a long time for their invasion.
But this event was quickly fully exceeded their expectation different from the early correspondence from other countries until now.
[...It is understandable that "The isolated country"(Elves Flags) lay a hand in this matter or there is still a remnant of Rokard Coalition?]
Catalina shooked her head at Cristobal's thought, None of the conjectures are right.
[The problem is we already spreading the news about Elleonora's marriage in order to subdue Kshyperuk's nobles. now, they were taken away soon after this happen, Our reputation is totally ruined.]
Deep wrinkles appearing on Catalina's neat face due to her irritation.
This is an unpleasant development for the girl who was placed as a political assistant.
Dorote who still manages to keep his head down until now is breaking into their conversation
[Allow me to humbly say. I do not think they are involved in this matter.]
[Hou? I guess you have a reason for that statement, right?]
Though he was being doubted, he still encourages to continue his story.
However, before Dorote speaking again, he leisurely removes his sword from his hip and hands it over to Cristobal.
[...this is, what the heck is it! what is it for?]
[There is not any single bit of falsehood in my earlier report. but, if you doubted in my word from now on then...please behead me with this sword immediately.]
Cristobal grinding his teeth out of vexation at that word while Catalina lifting her eyebrows.
In another word, Dorote declared to betting his life with his word.
When you reverse thinking, his word could mean...
[To go that far, the story that hard to be believable was truth?]
Dorote did not reply but continues telling his story while kneeling silently.
Cristobal receives a sword after he thought for a while and immediately unsheath it.
It is a clunky white blade but well kept one that reflecting a dull light.
[Fuh, I guess it still not too late to doubt your word. but, I had received your resolve. speak without any regret!]
[I am grateful and happy at your benevolence, You highness...then, after the royal family escaped, We had to chase them with an airship...the enemy was using a silhouette knight that had an upper body of a human but the lower body of a horse, they used it to flee on the highway.]
Cristobal involuntarily swallowed the word "It can't be" , He takes a deep breath.
As he speaking now, Dorote neck is accompanied by a drawn sword that Cristobal hold.
The story was unbelievable enough to make him hesitate since Cristobal was not a stupid person.
[You really do a good job by risking your neck, what is this thing about? rather, Is it not a simple "Magical Beast" that gone into extinction since the old time?]
[With all due respect, it definitely a silhouette knight that clearly made by a human hand. my lord. It has an extraordinary speed exactly as a cavalry horse, without an airship, we probably wouldn't able to hold a candle to catch up with it.]
Cristobal eyebrows shrinking.
Their mass production machine, Tyrantor is a machine that boasts power both in an offensive and defensive, the only drawback was its slow speed via the foot.
An enemy with such a feature like a cavalry would be their bad compatibility.
The story until now was a grave matter but Dorote's story after this gonna be an earth-shattering report.
[The enemy did not only just have that. in order to retake the royal family, we attempt to chase it by airship. therefore, They even brought out a demon clad in flame with multiple arms. such an enemy able "jumped up in the sky", it was a powerful silhouette knight that I never see anywhere before that able to destroyed our flying airship with just its weapon...]
[...what an innovation, Oi, Wait a bit, Wait, Dorote, You, what are you talking about!?]
Cristobal was in his mid-thought while hearing Dorote's report, he notices a ridiculous fact and begins to inquire it in a hurry.
[Of course, it about enemy's silhouette knight. after all, we did not descent "Down" even once. That guy just flew from the opposite direction, wrecked us, my airship with only one machine. moreover, its blow strong enough to shake the black knight. so, I was forced to give up on the pursuit...If you are doubted and think that I made a prevarication, please use that sword to.... ]
[Arghhh... You are so dull, that thing does not matter anymore. however, such a story...but, it just sound like an imagination]
Cristobal indeed leaked a groaning voice.
There is no any lie in the report that risked with Dorote's life.
They have completely discarded the thought to blame him.
Catalina was aware such a fact besides Cristobal who was still in confusion.
[...in alternate meaning, there was a silhouette knight that is more powerful than the black knight. rather, it was on a completely another level. then it must be a country with technical capability. Hey, Dorote, by any chance, did you thinking about "A country that successfully develops new technology" not "A country that already possesses the technology a time ago"?]
Dorote assent replies back to his murmur question that lack of conviction.
[Although this is just my speculation, there is a duchess of archduke Ferdinan, the formerly younger brother of the king among the royal family that escaped, Martina Ortho Kshperuk...that women came from "Fremmevir kingdom" to married him. Furthermore, the direction that they fled to is also "East". the same direction to that country.]
[The "Country of Magical Beast"(Fremmevir)? Did you mean that a person from that bumpkin country may butt in this matter?]
They had expected many of enemies, but the Fremmevir kingdom is the one that was unexpected for them.
The reason due to that country is placed outside the west countries group (Okushiden).
There is only once that they only dabble interact with it as an opponent, after that, it far out of their interest.
[This may be some of their comrade agreement, they may probably try to skim some of Kshyperuk territory. The main problem is now, the royal family who escaped already join force with an enemy that powerful than the black knight. I don't think they have a lot of numbers but we can't be too much optimism.]
Catalina makes sure to make an adjustment to their strategy that already been planned.
Although the identity was guessed out, how much it gonna effect their plan in the future is still unknown.
For now, it already too late for their Kshyperuk territory unification plan.
Cristobal who heard this turn made a rough snort and plunk sit down on the throne.
His state filled with many emotion but the anger never floating in his face.
[...kukuh hahahah, hadn't thing became more interesting? An enemy that stronger than the black knights! is now backing up the Kshyperuk, there is no more pleasure than beating it. look like I will not get bored for a while.]
Catalina clearly frowns behind him.
It was well known in her royal family that her brother trait is about violent and war, he always asking for "An enemy to be crushed"
It was his bad habit.
[Cris, you better not make light of the current situation.]
[I knew, Elder sister, I will lead the army directly to crush the enemy. war is my specialty, I will ask you to look after the rear.]
Cristobal stood up vigorously as the beast that loses its chain.
Even after becoming the supreme commander of the invasion army, his nature never changed.
For Catalina who was bestowed with a political authority is hard for her to suppress him when it comes to fighting.
[I will carry out an attack on the east territory as soon as possible, we must choke their life out of it. if we waste too much time, the royal family will launch their counter attack for sure. It wouldn't be a funny story if the resistance spreading out because of it.]
Even he say about the disadvantage, his expression filled with lively and shining.
Since the situation progress to this point, it already inevitable too late to recapture the royal family.
The royal family will act as a center of this country resistance force.
In vice versa, If you took them out, the collapsing rate of Kshyperuk kingdom will be accelerated.
[Tool should always stay as a tool and get obedient used. resistance is a crime and needs to be redeemed with their life including the bumpkin company that came from beyond the mountains.]
Crush the plan of revival and resistance of the adversary.
that's his supremacy pleasure.
While he being sunk in his expectations, Dorote's word pressing him.
[Please wait a moment, the black knight that stationed in the eastern part was greatly reduced in number. this proves how strong the enemy is and how much trouble we are having now.]
The results of Silver Phoenix knights rampage.
Now, Jaroudeku kingdom enforcement is cut apart, the available force becomes less and less.
It doesn't take much time for Cristobal's mood being to swoop and falling to the ground, Catalina interrupted at that moment.
[Cris, Let re-assign the soldiers from the Black Jaw knights that stationed in the north and south, also call the original force of Kshyperuk. Although, it inferior to the black knight, it still a silhouette knight.]
[That useless thing... but, look like I had no choice since we need extra numbers in order to put an end on their breath.]
Cristobal is tired and re-sitting on the throne.
With all of that, Jaroudeku kingdom course of action was settled.
The order was to dispatch to various areas in Kshyperuk immediately in order to get the Black Jaw knight---an elite of Jaroudeku's army as a reinforcement.
It begun to move with an aim at the eastern sector followed the Kshyperuk royal.
It starts to narrow the target area and gradually become a siege.
Part 11. (edited by Jazz3216)
Dorote walked away from the audience chamber after he finished his report.
His pace filled with a heavy burden, the answer is clear.
He committed a grave blunder that can't be wipe out with time and effort, it's unforgivable for him.
[...Oldman.]
[Gustav, I heard it, look like you failed too.]
He was disheartened to get greeted by his adopted son, Gustav.
Gustav received a major damage from the silver phoenix knights, now both parent and child were in the same situation.
[I'm sorry,it went pretty bad. so, what did his royal highness said? a good scolding?]
[Looks like I need to stay still for a while and refrain from speaking unless it's necessary depending on the time.]
Dorote leaks a sigh when he sitting on the chair with a screeching sound of GISHIRI.
TN: ƒMƒVƒŠ SFX sound.
He says it clearly that his punishment has been postponed.
It was an unexpected blunder.
When he thinking about his punishment in the future, It's really an unbearable pain for the excellent commander.
As a result rather than got executed from the eastern part failure, he was put on house arrest instead.
[The enemy that fought with us is quite strong. It can't be compared to Kshyperuk goons, now it's time that our swords are necessary the most.]
[Endure it for now. ....surely, I will wipe out this stigma with their lives, they must pay, especially the demon there.]
The appearance of the incarnation of destruction crossing his mind.
It's gonna be a big calamity presence for any Jaroudeku kingdom's soldiers.
Dorote never doubts in this premonition.
He decided to use even his own life that lives until now for a long time.
When their depression aligned, his subordinate report about the unexpected visitor.
[excuse me sir Mardones, can you spare me a little bit of your time?]
[So...it was sir Cruz. sure but for a man who should hole up in the home country, what are you doing in this front line area?]
Dorote answering him Horacio Cruz, the head of Jaroudeku development workshop, while inclining his head with a doubt.
He is not a combat personal. so, there must be a reason for coming to the forefront like Kshyperuk territory that he did not know.
[No no, this is not a big deal, I just want to use this incompetence body of mine to help his highness majesty. in order to overcome the constantly new challenge, I want to hear the thought about implementation from everyone.]
From the knight runner commander view of Dorote, he always does not understand the thinking concept of technical personal but he sincere think it has own way of thinking.
Since he now has a lot of free time due to house arrest.
He nodded and accepted the offer.
[Such a thing, but we did not cooperate with each other much. what do you want to talk about?]
At that moment, Horacio's expression filled with a burning smile.
A muddy sticky voice leaked from his opened mouth.
[....I heard that, there is an enemy when you are using the airship, please carefully tell me about its appearance at that time with full detail...]
At that time, Horio's figure before Dorote's eyes turns into a different person that he met so far.
It was the one that makes he felt a disgusting spirit and passion.
Go back to the time before the airship encountered the Tzendrinble.
There is a shadow dashing in the forest that spread around the highway.
When to compare it with the surrounding area, the shadows is a huge figure with the height of 10 meters, in another word, it was a silhouette knight.
Nevertheless, its speed is unusual, it was faster than the average silhouette knight by many times.
There is still more strange part, in addition, the shadows hardly make any noise when running.
Not to mention about the muscles driving's sound, even the intake and exhaust sound of Ether reactor also can't be heard, its presence was unbelievable thin.
The silhouette knight frame is very slender, highly emphasized in agility.
It could be said that it was paper thin build among the type, there was a strange sharp claw at both of its hand and shoulders.
Another strange characteristic would be its head.
There is nothing that can be said about the design in its head, beside holes to ensure its viewing field, it just has a smooth curved surface.
A "Nonfacial characteristic" being---is moving without a sound, its impression can be assumed as one that belongs to a ghost.
The number of ghosts is not only one. two machines, three machines---An assembled troops of such machines is progressing by jumping up and down in the forest.
On their path, there is a figure of centaur knight which ran on a highway.
The purpose of this ghost is clear.
They just suddenly increased their speed and heading to the road.
Before long, they just doing a huge leap and danced on top of the highway.
Only a shadow presence that just falls on the road soundlessly.
They drew near without alert to the Tzendrinble which focus on the running and pouncing on it---with the sharp claws in their both hand.
[Oi, newcomer!? Who the hell are you!?]
An attack of a large sword that swinging with a storm's speed repelled and sent the ghost flying back into a forest.
The wielder of such a sword can be no one except Emurys's Gordesleo which stood on top of the wagon.
Golden lion does not have a valid weapon against an airship, so It remains to stick with this wagon to escort the horse-drawn carriage.
[That was a close one! don't tell me that the airship was a decoy? that is really a nasty tactic!!]
Emurys re-stance his golden lion with a sword and now, kneeling on the top of the wagon.
Because Tzendrinble is on the move, it was impossible for him to launch a further attack.
Such a situation that can't do anything but waiting is really unpleasant for him.
Without teasing him too much, the ghost comes attacking again.
It runs pala pala and jumps out of the woods, aim for catching the wagon that towed by Tzendrinble again.
For the unstable foothold such as a moving wagon, It extremely hard to move because of the limited place for the golden lion to swing its large sword around.
Although he manages to push the enemy away, it's really not easy to reduce its number with a sword.
The irritation is disturbing Emurys's mind.
[If this was a land battle, I would turn them into iron scrap long time ago! it is regrettable but we can't stop the Tzendrinble either...]
He is not the only one who harbored the impatience.
[Geezz, this thing. Just when Eru still not back! We need to shake this thing off, somehow...]
Tzendrinble is wielding a spear cavalry but it can't attack the ghost.
Because it is continuing to run and pulling the wagon, far from a decent fight, it even can't fight back at all, by unable to have one way with it but the defense only has turned this into in a desperate situation.
Also, look like the ghosts also understand that fact as well, it only come persistence from behind Tzendrinble.
They were in a battle that they were vastly outnumbered and the situation is too bad.
Gradually, turning into a dangerous situation.
The ghosts have jumped in unison again.
Gold lion and Tzendrinble was restrained to brandishing their specialized weapon.
Gradually, because of keeping the concentration they are piling up the fatigue.
Finally, one ghost machine manages to slip out from their overwatch and jump on the wagon at the different period.
[This is bad! I can't evade it....]
The ghost is jumped into the bosom of Tzendrinble.
Its arm rushing with at a furious speed and aiming at the belly of the defenseless horse.
The concealed weapon of a ghost packed with enough power to penetrate silhouette knight frame.
The moment before the very sharp claws gonna gouged into the belly of Tzendrinble.
A very long spear of flame pierced the belly of a ghost before it can land its attack.
A blast turns the thin armor of a ghost that emphasis on quickness into smithereens and debris in an instant.
There is a thing that jumped follow the flame while blowing off the dust cloud of destruction on the highway.
[You guys are.....how dare of you, because of you guys, the airship got to escape! allow me to express my thank!...]
Releasing an explosive flame and thunderous sound, shooting words that burning with anger, it is the masked devil with the six arms, Ikaruga.
When Ikaruga catching up to Tzendrinble, it was flying with the speed as a crimson flame, and keeping like that, Soon it landed on the top of the wagon.
[You guys really are worthy enough as an airship replacement...you will pay with your body]
Ikaruga which just landed on the wagon stretching out its folded arms from the back grabbed a reserved sword cannon that stored on the wagon.
Its figure rises almost like a hedgehog, directing its sword cannon in all direction.
Increasing its stretch, the demon is roaring.
The terrifying magic that stored in the body is now released,
An attack that can destroy everything is coming out from the sword cannon.
Shot at every tree, blow and penetrated everything includes the ghost that jumps into a forest too.
For the ghost that tries to break away with its high-speed sprint, it can't avoid the surrounding explosion and got caught with it and decimated.
All hands of the furious demon are slaughtering every single ghost machines, all ghosts are turned into corpses in no time.
Ikaruga just incidentally changing the entire landscape.
Part 9.
A lone flying airship staggering soar in the sky of dusk.
Suffered from a magic attack of the raging demon, Dorote's airship somehow barely escaped from it.
It was a fierce appearance that burned down many sections of the outer walls even distorted the steel frame.
Because they fled with maximum speed in that state which creates and piled up a strain, now, the hull is in bad shape and soon will reach its limit.
The only blessing among this unfortunate fate is that Ether floating device still intact.
Once this thing broke down, the airship will be not able to float in a sky anymore.
[...lower the altitude. don't crash it.]
Dorote who sat on the captain's seat, spit out the word in a gloomy state.
Go back to the time that fights the demon, how come that it did not give a chase?
In vice versa, there must be anything that poses a threat greater than this ship.
The men have quietly followed his instructions, the ship landed on the ground.
Now that the ship in no longer usable, they have no choice but go back with Tyrantor's foot from here.
Even that Tyrantor which got damaged and destroyed by protecting the airship also in a plight for transportation purpose.
Before Dorote's squad who got off the ship leaves this place, there is something that they must do.
That is destroyed the airship.
The airship is a unique and crucial weapon of Jaroudeku kingdom.
Although it got a heavy damage and not able to fly anymore, he can't leave it in that state.
Dorote manipulates Tyrantor raise its small battle hammer in a jerk motion.
He applies an unnecessary force on the control stick that he hold, trembling even now.
Lose the ship, lose the black knight.
Furthermore, fail to recover the fled Kshyperuk's royalty.
A grave blunder that he does not dare to ask a pardon.
Almost as Dorote has lost everything.
It would be better if he was sunk together with the airship---such a self-punishing thought is now piling up in his mind.
At that time, one of his men who watched the entire situation pointed beyond a sky noisily.
Beyond the line of sight of all members, there is a black point that has been a stain in the sky.
That is an approaching airship which gonna reach them soon.
Two vessels of airship are advancing toward the west under the twinkling night star.
One intact airship, behind it, the second airship that has a trace of mysterious damaged on its hull is towing by the first one from behind.
Without saying that one belong to Dorote's fleet.
It advances steadily and takes a cruise with intending to pick them up.
Dorote who leave Tyrantor cockpit looking at the picking airship and the face of his subordinates, he showed a look of relief.
But his face distorts immediately, take a rough walk foot step from the hanger to the bridge.
An appearance of Dorote who went up the ladder appears into the scene of the bridge.
He keeps an eye on them in one place.
At the person who sat on the captain'seat who take up position in that place
[...So, as expected, it's you, Sir Gerhild.]
he walks to captain seat and called the name of the female knight who sat on it.
One of the knights of Jaroudeku kingdom was sitting there, the Grandmaster who led his Steel Fang knights, Gerhild Hietakannas.
While She always abiding with her leering smile, she breaks the greeting.
[Yeah, it's me, or there is something that you want to complain?]
[....Oh no..you jest, I am truly grateful on behalf of my subordinates....]
Their relationship is not that much close.
If anything, Gerhild is more like a person who stand behind the scenes of the surrounding.
Witness at emaciation appearance of the unnatural Dorote, she express her doubts.
[So, What happen? Aren't you his highness best men? being got truly slapping like that. isn't that a bit sorrowful state? It's not what am I thinking right?]
Dorote did not hide his bitter situation, he groaning at the whole situation include his blunder from the other day.
[....and that is all of my stories, maybe I really go senile. It was shameless to accept that we got defeated by some silhouette knight in the night, moreover, it was a completely beaten.]
The demon who cornered them was an unbelievable enemy even for the veteran warrior as Dorote.
[...my fate is sealed and done. this blunder would probably cost my life.]
The cool and daring air of Jaroudeku military instructor do not exist there at him anymore.
By looking at his feeble appearance, Gerhild spat out a word while frowning.
[Tch! by giving that dedicated wrinkle neck, you think that gonna redeem the mistake? I really can not say amazing...]
[...Then...then, how the heck I have to do in order to atone for this, this grave blunder?]
[This is why a warmonger is....! Listen! the royal family got escaped , lost both the airship and black knight, both of them are worse. but the worst is you come back home without having any single bit of information about the enemy.]
Gerhild led the Copper Fang knights which are a group that stands between them.
Their main role is collecting information also assassination depending on the case.
Dorote becomes thoughtful with a word of different logic from the knight.
Determine to make an atonement, he slightly forces a comeback.
[But, as I say about the situation, the enemy is clearly outlandish as this was a grave blunder, It will reach his highness ears soon. now, We must make a comeback at the situation, I will gladly offer my neck on the plate at a later time.]
Changing by a little wind, the usual dialogue can be heard, Gerhild is tentatively looked up to heaven as she did not have to give him any more medicine.
[How refreshing, well, if you gonna die anyway then, you should die when fought the enemy and drag them to their death at least]
The girl teasing him as she seriously nodded while saying her word of joke.
Part 10 (Edited with Thanh Do suggestion and Jazz3216)
The ancient Kshyperuk kingdom capital, Dell Van Cool.
After the end of King Agusty's duel, this city had turned into the biggest military base of Jaroudeku invasion force.
TN: gonna change King's name from Akatsuki to Agusty
The current progress of invasion of Kshyperuk kingdom almost nearly complete as they took control over the royal castle in the center of the capital that belong to the Kshyperuk kingdom.
One Airship was flying under the clear sky and arrived a Dell Van Cool.
It landed on the Air Field that is being built in Dell Van Cool after the ownership of the city had been changed.
The place is just a simple leveling bare ground, make it easy to land and take off, it being used a lot by the airship as this was a Jaroudeku's army base.
Now, one airship is on the verge of landing, it tries to find a vacant place to land.
Then, after a while, at the "Audience Chamber" in the middle of the royal castle, the relic that once belongs to the royalty, a displeased voice of Cristobal Hasslo Jaroudeku, The second prince of Jaroudeku kingdom, was echoed.
[What did you say?...the princess...was taken away!?]
He went trembling in rage and risen up, as soon as he kicks up the throne that belongs to the Kshyperuk king, one man knee down.
Dorotea Mardones, who served as the right arm of Cristobal, his confidant subordinate.
He was immediately summoned as soon as he arrived in this city via the previous airship.
[Dorote... a man in your caliber should know how valuable that princess is!! and you allow the thief to take her away,got the airship destroyed and nonchalantly fled back with the remaining black knight? what kind of blunder is this? Hahhhh!]
The roar unleashed by Cristobal is resounding into the room again.
while Chris keeps mocking Dorote, Dorote did not attempt to refute and still keeps his knees down.
[Would you wake up already? Cris. how long are you gonna keep this up? for the supreme commander to be distraught to this degree.]
A cold voice came from the entrance between the audience reached the frenzied Cristobal.
The first princess Catalina, Cristobal's sister stood there.
[Elder sister....but!]
[Calm down a bit. you should be the best person who knew about sir Mardones's ability and his loyalty, right? it would be a waste of time to keep blaming him like that. the first thing that we need to do is thinking about what happen next.]
After receiving a cooly pointed out guidance, Cristobal finally feels like letting it go and calmed his mind with a deep breath, He just looks calm on the surface and turns to Dorote.[...raise your head, first what actually happen? tell me everything without leaving any small detail. I will think about your punishment after that.]
[Haa!]
Dorote finally rises his face up however, he still kneeling while groaning and speaking about the thiefs that attacking the Raspedo castle.
[...then, by the time that I noticed it, all members royal family of Kshyperuk was already taken away. I am unworthy of your trust and don't have any excuse on this matter, I already prepared myself to receive your punishment.]
While listening, Cristobal's expression had been filled with bitterness.
For them, the princess among the royalty of Kshyperuk, Eleonora is a necessary "Tool" in order to stable their governing power over Kshyperuk territory.
The current power that Jaroudeku kingdom possess already overwhelming, It does not require any extra effort in order to dominate and get Kshyperuk territory under its control.
[To think that it's not only the princess but the other royal members too? Unbelievable, for you to got defeated by such weakling enemy as Kshyperuk soldiers...]
While Cristobal had been examined the word of calm Dorote, he suddenly felt that something wrong.
He knew Dorote for a long time.
Somehow, it was like a senior-junior relationship, Dorote was always called the hand of Jaroudeku's army, some even called him the maker.
It would be a more logical reason if Kshyperuk's soldiers were the one who being hunted down, He unable to find an answer.
Catalina who sinking in her thought while stood beside him also had a similar idea, She looks up.
[You...are right. even the castle was attacked by 1000 men of Kshyperuk's soldiers, It still impossible for them to take away the royal family that guarded by Dorote. If that is the case, does that mean the one who behind this should be...a soldier from "A different country" , right?]
[Damn you, so that is what it is about! Tch, although, I thought that someone may make a move. to got an extra interrupted at the endgame!]
Cristobal growing a bitter look while listening to his elder sister's word.
They had reached a conclusion, a very nasty possibility.
If you take away the royal family then, the nobles in the old Kshyperuk is not a small problem.
If there is any problem, Jaroudeku just needs to conquer the country again with their war potential.
However, if another country is the one who caused this then the story become more complex.
After all, It will interfere via "The greatest righteous person" of the royal family.
Nothing but a trouble.
They also considered about interference from the other countries beforehand and already prepared a countermeasure.
Since Jaroudeku kingdom had been carefully prepared for a long time for their invasion.
But this event was quickly fully exceeded their expectation different from the early correspondence from other countries until now.
[...It is understandable that "The isolated country"(Elves Flags) lay a hand in this matter or there is still a remnant of Rokard Coalition?]
Catalina shooked her head at Cristobal's thought, None of the conjectures are right.
[The problem is we already spreading the news about Elleonora's marriage in order to subdue Kshyperuk's nobles. now, they were taken away soon after this happen, Our reputation is totally ruined.]
Deep wrinkles appearing on Catalina's neat face due to her irritation.
This is an unpleasant development for the girl who was placed as a political assistant.
Dorote who still manages to keep his head down until now is breaking into their conversation
[Hou? I guess you have a reason for that statement, right?]
Though he was being doubted, he still encourages to continue his story.
However, before Dorote speaking again, he leisurely removes his sword from his hip and hands it over to Cristobal.
[...this is, what the heck is it! what is it for?]
[There is not any single bit of falsehood in my earlier report. but, if you doubted in my word from now on then...please behead me with this sword immediately.]
Cristobal grinding his teeth out of vexation at that word while Catalina lifting her eyebrows.
In another word, Dorote declared to betting his life with his word.
When you reverse thinking, his word could mean...
[To go that far, the story that hard to be believable was truth?]
Dorote did not reply but continues telling his story while kneeling silently.
Cristobal receives a sword after he thought for a while and immediately unsheath it.
It is a clunky white blade but well kept one that reflecting a dull light.
[Fuh, I guess it still not too late to doubt your word. but, I had received your resolve. speak without any regret!]
[I am grateful and happy at your benevolence, You highness...then, after the royal family escaped, We had to chase them with an airship...the enemy was using a silhouette knight that had an upper body of a human but the lower body of a horse, they used it to flee on the highway.]
Cristobal involuntarily swallowed the word "It can't be" , He takes a deep breath.
As he speaking now, Dorote neck is accompanied by a drawn sword that Cristobal hold.
The story was unbelievable enough to make him hesitate since Cristobal was not a stupid person.
[You really do a good job by risking your neck, what is this thing about? rather, Is it not a simple "Magical Beast" that gone into extinction since the old time?]
[With all due respect, it definitely a silhouette knight that clearly made by a human hand. my lord. It has an extraordinary speed exactly as a cavalry horse, without an airship, we probably wouldn't able to hold a candle to catch up with it.]
Cristobal eyebrows shrinking.
Their mass production machine, Tyrantor is a machine that boasts power both in an offensive and defensive, the only drawback was its slow speed via the foot.
An enemy with such a feature like a cavalry would be their bad compatibility.
The story until now was a grave matter but Dorote's story after this gonna be an earth-shattering report.
[The enemy did not only just have that. in order to retake the royal family, we attempt to chase it by airship. therefore, They even brought out a demon clad in flame with multiple arms. such an enemy able "jumped up in the sky", it was a powerful silhouette knight that I never see anywhere before that able to destroyed our flying airship with just its weapon...]
[...what an innovation, Oi, Wait a bit, Wait, Dorote, You, what are you talking about!?]
Cristobal was in his mid-thought while hearing Dorote's report, he notices a ridiculous fact and begins to inquire it in a hurry.
[Of course, it about enemy's silhouette knight. after all, we did not descent "Down" even once. That guy just flew from the opposite direction, wrecked us, my airship with only one machine. moreover, its blow strong enough to shake the black knight. so, I was forced to give up on the pursuit...If you are doubted and think that I made a prevarication, please use that sword to.... ]
[Arghhh... You are so dull, that thing does not matter anymore. however, such a story...but, it just sound like an imagination]
Cristobal indeed leaked a groaning voice.
There is no any lie in the report that risked with Dorote's life.
They have completely discarded the thought to blame him.
Catalina was aware such a fact besides Cristobal who was still in confusion.
[...in alternate meaning, there was a silhouette knight that is more powerful than the black knight. rather, it was on a completely another level. then it must be a country with technical capability. Hey, Dorote, by any chance, did you thinking about "A country that successfully develops new technology" not "A country that already possesses the technology a time ago"?]
Dorote assent replies back to his murmur question that lack of conviction.
[Although this is just my speculation, there is a duchess of archduke Ferdinan, the formerly younger brother of the king among the royal family that escaped, Martina Ortho Kshperuk...that women came from "Fremmevir kingdom" to married him. Furthermore, the direction that they fled to is also "East". the same direction to that country.]
[The "Country of Magical Beast"(Fremmevir)? Did you mean that a person from that bumpkin country may butt in this matter?]
They had expected many of enemies, but the Fremmevir kingdom is the one that was unexpected for them.
The reason due to that country is placed outside the west countries group (Okushiden).
There is only once that they only dabble interact with it as an opponent, after that, it far out of their interest.
[This may be some of their comrade agreement, they may probably try to skim some of Kshyperuk territory. The main problem is now, the royal family who escaped already join force with an enemy that powerful than the black knight. I don't think they have a lot of numbers but we can't be too much optimism.]
Catalina makes sure to make an adjustment to their strategy that already been planned.
Although the identity was guessed out, how much it gonna effect their plan in the future is still unknown.
For now, it already too late for their Kshyperuk territory unification plan.
Cristobal who heard this turn made a rough snort and plunk sit down on the throne.
His state filled with many emotion but the anger never floating in his face.
[...kukuh hahahah, hadn't thing became more interesting? An enemy that stronger than the black knights! is now backing up the Kshyperuk, there is no more pleasure than beating it. look like I will not get bored for a while.]
Catalina clearly frowns behind him.
It was well known in her royal family that her brother trait is about violent and war, he always asking for "An enemy to be crushed"
It was his bad habit.
[Cris, you better not make light of the current situation.]
[I knew, Elder sister, I will lead the army directly to crush the enemy. war is my specialty, I will ask you to look after the rear.]
Cristobal stood up vigorously as the beast that loses its chain.
Even after becoming the supreme commander of the invasion army, his nature never changed.
For Catalina who was bestowed with a political authority is hard for her to suppress him when it comes to fighting.
[I will carry out an attack on the east territory as soon as possible, we must choke their life out of it. if we waste too much time, the royal family will launch their counter attack for sure. It wouldn't be a funny story if the resistance spreading out because of it.]
Even he say about the disadvantage, his expression filled with lively and shining.
Since the situation progress to this point, it already inevitable too late to recapture the royal family.
The royal family will act as a center of this country resistance force.
In vice versa, If you took them out, the collapsing rate of Kshyperuk kingdom will be accelerated.
[Tool should always stay as a tool and get obedient used. resistance is a crime and needs to be redeemed with their life including the bumpkin company that came from beyond the mountains.]
Crush the plan of revival and resistance of the adversary.
that's his supremacy pleasure.
While he being sunk in his expectations, Dorote's word pressing him.
[Please wait a moment, the black knight that stationed in the eastern part was greatly reduced in number. this proves how strong the enemy is and how much trouble we are having now.]
The results of Silver Phoenix knights rampage.
Now, Jaroudeku kingdom enforcement is cut apart, the available force becomes less and less.
It doesn't take much time for Cristobal's mood being to swoop and falling to the ground, Catalina interrupted at that moment.
[Cris, Let re-assign the soldiers from the Black Jaw knights that stationed in the north and south, also call the original force of Kshyperuk. Although, it inferior to the black knight, it still a silhouette knight.]
[That useless thing... but, look like I had no choice since we need extra numbers in order to put an end on their breath.]
Cristobal is tired and re-sitting on the throne.
With all of that, Jaroudeku kingdom course of action was settled.
The order was to dispatch to various areas in Kshyperuk immediately in order to get the Black Jaw knight---an elite of Jaroudeku's army as a reinforcement.
It begun to move with an aim at the eastern sector followed the Kshyperuk royal.
It starts to narrow the target area and gradually become a siege.
Part 11. (edited by Jazz3216)
Dorote walked away from the audience chamber after he finished his report.
His pace filled with a heavy burden, the answer is clear.
He committed a grave blunder that can't be wipe out with time and effort, it's unforgivable for him.
[...Oldman.]
[Gustav, I heard it, look like you failed too.]
He was disheartened to get greeted by his adopted son, Gustav.
Gustav received a major damage from the silver phoenix knights, now both parent and child were in the same situation.
[I'm sorry,it went pretty bad. so, what did his royal highness said? a good scolding?]
[Looks like I need to stay still for a while and refrain from speaking unless it's necessary depending on the time.]
Dorote leaks a sigh when he sitting on the chair with a screeching sound of GISHIRI.
TN: ƒMƒVƒŠ SFX sound.
He says it clearly that his punishment has been postponed.
It was an unexpected blunder.
When he thinking about his punishment in the future, It's really an unbearable pain for the excellent commander.
As a result rather than got executed from the eastern part failure, he was put on house arrest instead.
[The enemy that fought with us is quite strong. It can't be compared to Kshyperuk goons, now it's time that our swords are necessary the most.]
[Endure it for now. ....surely, I will wipe out this stigma with their lives, they must pay, especially the demon there.]
The appearance of the incarnation of destruction crossing his mind.
It's gonna be a big calamity presence for any Jaroudeku kingdom's soldiers.
Dorote never doubts in this premonition.
He decided to use even his own life that lives until now for a long time.
When their depression aligned, his subordinate report about the unexpected visitor.
[excuse me sir Mardones, can you spare me a little bit of your time?]
[So...it was sir Cruz. sure but for a man who should hole up in the home country, what are you doing in this front line area?]
Dorote answering him Horacio Cruz, the head of Jaroudeku development workshop, while inclining his head with a doubt.
He is not a combat personal. so, there must be a reason for coming to the forefront like Kshyperuk territory that he did not know.
[No no, this is not a big deal, I just want to use this incompetence body of mine to help his highness majesty. in order to overcome the constantly new challenge, I want to hear the thought about implementation from everyone.]
From the knight runner commander view of Dorote, he always does not understand the thinking concept of technical personal but he sincere think it has own way of thinking.
Since he now has a lot of free time due to house arrest.
He nodded and accepted the offer.
[Such a thing, but we did not cooperate with each other much. what do you want to talk about?]
At that moment, Horacio's expression filled with a burning smile.
A muddy sticky voice leaked from his opened mouth.
[....I heard that, there is an enemy when you are using the airship, please carefully tell me about its appearance at that time with full detail...]
At that time, Horio's figure before Dorote's eyes turns into a different person that he met so far.
It was the one that makes he felt a disgusting spirit and passion.
Ohohoho...I can't wait for the next one XD
