it.
Sylphy is trying to get her family and country back.
Isla is trying to free her persecuted people from the control of the Holy Kingdom, Melty and Ms.
Zamir share the same intentions as Sylphy, and Danan and Sir Leonard are trying to achieve revenge against the Holy Kingdom.

Of course, there is a bigger goal, not only for personal reasons but also to help the subhuman people who are suffering under the rule of the Holy Kingdom and restore the former Merinard Kingdom.

Is war the only way to achieve this great goal? I think the only answer is “yes.” The ideologies of Sylphy’s homeland, the Merinard Kingdom, and the Holy Kingdom are too different.

The Merinard Kingdom, where subhumans and humans coexist equally as “human races,” and the Holy Kingdom, which upholds human supremacy and uses subhumans as slaves, are too incompatible in terms of ideology.
Even if we tried to discuss the matter, the Holy Kingdom would not listen to us as things stand now, yes.

“I hope this battle will be enough to decide the matter.”

“I think so, too.”

“Hmm, me too.”

The only way now is to fight, so it can’t be helped, right? We have to be careful not to just say, “We don’t have a choice, or it’s inevitable,” and continue fighting in the mud.

And a week passed in the blink of an eye after I returned to Erichburg, and the day of the operation came.

“I feel like I’ve managed to row my way through…”

The morale of the High-Speed Strike Force was high.
A total of 500 people were riding in 100 airboards, and the sight of all the airboards lined up in a row was quite a spectacular sight.
The Research & Development Department must be happy behind the leaves of grass, as they had ordered not only airboards for the High-Speed Strike Force but also those for the following main unit’s Transportation, and they worked hard to deliver all of the airboards.
Go to heaven.
Amen amen.

Incidentally, I alone am in charge of the logistics of the high-speed strike force.
But I have enough water and food for a day’s worth of the crew.
Even so, if I were to die suddenly, it would be the end of the high-speed strike force.

No, if I don’t engage in battle because of my mobility, can I escape back to Erichburg with time to spare? If I can retreat, can I manage it? I think losing Sylphy would be more dangerous than losing me.
Sylphy is the leader of the Liberation Army, and she would be needed to free the royalty who have frozen themselves in the royal castle in Merinesburg, keeping their bodies and hearts frozen and sealed in.

“Princess, Kosuke-dono.
Would it be possible to move a little further to the rear, or rather to the middle of the convoy?”

Ms.
Zamir, who was riding with us, looked at Sylphy and me with her reptile-like emotionless eyes and asked.

“No.
I’d actually prefer to be at the front of the line.”

“Considering our abilities, it would be obvious that we should be behind the riflemen, who are considered to be vulnerable to damage and high ammunition consumption.”

“…..”

Ms.
Zamir exhales a sigh with her eyes closed after being rejected by Sylphy and me at the same time.

“Don’t worry.
My new type of barrier can even prevent dragon breath.”

Isla, who is also on board, seems to be trying to cheer up Ms.
Zamir by saying that, but I think that’s supposed to reinforce the fact that Sylphy and I are saying we’re fine in this position.

 

“With this group, we can break through even if we’re surrounded by a large army of the Holy Kingdom’s army.
And if push comes to shove, I’ll fight too.”

“I don’t want to be part of a war between human races, but if it comes to that, I’d be happy to fly away with all of you in my arms.”

Melty is sitting on the backseat of the airboard smiling, and Grande, who is on Melty’s lap with a sleepy look on her face, is giving further support.

Ms.
Zamir, perhaps giving up, lets out another sigh and closes her eyes.

The position of the airboard we are on is quite far forward in the formation.
We were right behind the airboards of the riflemen equipped with machine guns.
If an encounter were to occur, there was a very high possibility that we would be caught in the middle of the battle.

However, the Harpies are flying as scouts, so there is no way that an encounter would occur.
Furthermore, harpy, who plays the role of a scout, is equipped with a golem communicator, so contact will be made immediately as soon as they spot the enemy.

“The roll call is complete for the infantry and the governing support units.”

As I was appeasing, or rather persuading, the worried Ms.
Zamir, I heard Sir Leonard’s voice coming from the small golem communicator on the airboard we were riding on.

“Riflemen are ready.”

“Harpy Bombardment Squadron also ready.”

Hearing the transmission, Isla picked up the golem communicator and opened her mouth.

“Hmm, the Mage Corps is riding with the riflemen, so they’re ready.
Yes.”

“Umu.
Then, as planned, we will move with the airboard of the riflemen in the lead.
Everyone keeps a safe distance from each other and does not cause any accidents.
It would be laughable if we had to leave the front line before fighting the Holy Kingdom’s army due to an accident.
The first target is Bobrovsk.
The high-speed strike force, let’s go!”

At Sylphy’s command, about 100 airboards lined up float up and begin to move as if sliding.
In the lead are the airboards of the riflemen with the machine gunners and mages, followed by our airboards, the airboards carrying the Harpies, and behind them are the airboards carrying the elite soldiers.

Well, it was hard work to teach over 100 people, including spares, to fly airboards… In my original world, they were a bunch of novice drivers who wouldn’t even have gotten their provisional licenses yet.
It would be a miracle if we didn’t have an accident.

By the way, I’m the driver of the airboard we’re on.
Of course, I am.
Naturally, my airboard is a special edition.
You can tell when you see the trigger on the control stick.

“Let’s do it.”

I’m already prepared to shoot the enemy with my hands.
All I have to do is just do it.
