Failing to achieve his tactical goals, and ending his outpost with Behemoth in a judgment-loss fashion, Parabellum was retreating all the troops he had deployed on the second defensive line to the Spruit base behind the Neral River to rebuild his posture.

In the meantime, the Parabellan leaders had gathered in one of the command headquarters rooms for a meeting to decide on future policies and had a lively discussion.

"Assembled at Spruit Base at the moment were Army Division 12, as well as Marine Division 5 and Army Division 4, which suffered less damage in earlier battles. Others have 40 raid armors, 25 canone panzers and 52 special mechanized infantry, including newly assembled minutes. And the base's defense team and the land battleship latte. Thirteen train guns, including Gustav and Dora, have been deployed 15 kilometers behind the base."

"Hmmm... we gathered there, but with this level of power, then I still don't feel like we can win..."

"My Führer. If this happens, we will see the withdrawal of all troops from the territory of the former Canary kingdom."

……

"Ugh......!?

He leaked words as he shook his head to the side as Kazuya told him to do something about the contents of the report that Chitose had read out.

Then one general who was either reacting to it or stuffing it in the conference room made a far-fetched statement without thinking, simultaneously showering sharp, cold gaze concentrated fire from the others and framing him as he dripped cold sweat.

"Mm-hmm. Well, the retreat is one hand, but you can't pull it any further than you don't have any help to get all the civilians on the territory of the former Canary kingdom"

"Well, you are. Yes."

The man, desperately embraced by the rescue boat sent out of Kazuya, had a pulling laugh and descended vertically many times. He would never open his mouth again while the meeting was in session, nor would he see Chiyo and Chiyoda.

"Well, let's get back to it. We have three hours left before Behemoth or the dragon arrives at Spruit Base, so if we don't screw up the idea of a resurrection, we'll be gone... Any good ideas?

……

Well, is there any reason why a name should suddenly come up?

Kazuya turned his gaze to the general in line, but they all kept their mouths shut.

- Master, Karen in the Governor's office in Burrance has entered video communications on a secret line to the Master.

"Mm, okay. Connect me to the other room. Guys, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna take my seats off a little bit."

While the dark, sinking atmosphere surrounds the conference room, video communications using a secret line enter Kazuya from Karen, who is seconded as a deputy to the Governor's Office set up in the King's capital of the former Kingdom of Canary, Burance.

In order to answer the video communication, Kazuya said no to the officers, then took a seat and went to the separate room next to the conference room where no one was and put the call button in the ON.

"- Hello? Can you hear me?

"Oh, the video and the audio are well received. So, what's going on? Karen."

'I wanted to know what the current state of the war was and I contacted you... what do you think?

"... that's an extremely difficult situation"

"Yes."

Karen on the other side of the display leans awkwardly over Kazuya's response.

"... That's right, Karen. I'm having a little trouble with Behemoth right now. So, I need someone with a land survey of the Kingdom of Canaries to solve that problem. So I'm sorry, but I'm picking you up, so why don't you come back to the mainland of Parabellum right now?"

"..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... So I'll wait here until you pick me up. '

As if he had, Kazuya spoke of false requirements and tried to evacuate Karen first from the dangerous Burlance in case, but the prospect was spotted by Karen and turned down by a bitter mix of laughter.

"Are you sure?

'Yeah, I really do. It's not up to you to leave everyone alone and run away. "

"... ok. Then I'll definitely pick you up for whatever it is. So wait for me."

'Yeah, I'll wait. But don't make me wait too long. "

Copy that.

'See you later. -... Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to tell you. Why don't you and I go somewhere together next time it's settled? Like when we met. "

"Oh, let's do that. Looking forward to it."

"Huh, me too. Bye - '

At the end of the day, Karen hung up video communication, laughing with pleasure.

"Oh, all right, let's go back."

Kazuya slaps herself in the mood silently when she finishes her video communication with Karen, and returns to the conference room.

"- So, my lord, is it okay with the proposal to continue intercepting normally with force of war?

……

Can we in the end only rely on this method of low odds of winning......

I dressed up and ran out of saying I was bound to pick Karen up, but as a result, no name was created in the meeting.

Although there is anxiety, Better's policy has been adopted, although it is not best to continue intercepting with normal force, which is the same method as before.

"Oh, okay. So let's go..."

"Oh, that!! Ha, ha, may I make a statement!?

That moment when Kazuya nodded at the words of a thousand year old final confirmation.

A person sitting on a chair placed in a corner of the conference room suddenly rose and shouted as Gatan and the chair rocked, blocking Kazuya's words and gathering everyone's gaze together.

"... what are you, a face I don't see much but who do you belong to?

Thousands of years old ask with surprise the person who raised his voice.

"Ha, yes!! I am Ensign Eunice Florence Technologies under the 2nd Technical Department!!

"Hey, hey Eunice!? Stop it!! It tastes bad!!

The female soldier, who named herself Ensign Florence Technologies, did not even hear her colleague sitting in the adjacent chair praise her, and she replied firmly, although with a surprise bite to a thousand-year-old question that tapped and swayed the intimidation.

"Ho, me and this Lumia Conlay tech lieutenant came here today as replacements for the director of the second tech department!!

"Ya stop, Eunice!! You can't give me my name!!

Plus, what do you care about taking your colleague, Ensign Conlay Technologies, on the road?

"So? He wanted permission to speak. Do you understand that this is in front of your husband's Führer?

"Ha, yes!! I understand!!

"On top of that, did you think you'd get permission to speak?

"What, ah... no... well... I am!!

"Refrain!! However, this is not light enough for you, Ensign of Technology, to speak!!

"Huh!?... also, I'm sorry..."

After a thousand years of drinking, Ensign Florence Technologies bows his head as he drinks the cold sweat that has now overflowed.

"... Hmm, you said Second Lieutenant Florence Tech. Allow me to speak, say it."

"Your husband?

An unexpected happening occurred and it was thought that the collection had been taken by the thousand years old as it was, but Kazuya inadvertently issued permission for the Florence Technical Ensign to speak.

"Are you sure? Even if you allow such a person to speak."

"I guess I had some idea. It's free to make me say and listen to that. Well, if it's a shame... I'll leave it to a thousand years old"

"Got it. - Florence Tech Ensign!! Your husband gave you permission, tell me."

"Ha, yes!!

As soon as his permission to speak was granted, Ensign Florence, who had given up on things and no more, raised his head badly and desperately put his thoughts into his mouth.

"Wow, what I'm trying to say is why not convert a special raid armor demon conductor to a pseudo MA bullet!!

"... can you do that?

"Hiya!? And, it is possible to induce a massive explosion if we deliberately break through the critical point of the large demon conductor of the special raid armor!!

More tempered by a direct voice from Kazuya, Ensign Florence is nervous, turning his eyes and turning his face bright red, but spinning his words.

"... Ensign Florence Technologies, I'd like to ask you one thing. How large can it be, to the extent that it has allowed us to break through the critical point of the Magic Furnace, cause enough magic runoff to wipe out matter? No, in the first place, the MA bullets are just applying the theory of magic runoff, not magic runoff, and that thing is wiping out matter, right?

"Ha, yes!! That's the problem...... I don't know that unless I actually try to break through the critical point of the demon conductor.... because there's probably no precedent."

"Ha... don't talk about it"

It was an indoor in the conference room that boiled just a little on the proposal of Ensign Florence Technologies, but it quickly quiets down because Ensign Florence Technologies failed to provide a clear answer to the thousand-year-old question.

"No, we might be able to cause a massive explosion without having to extinguish the substance"

But it was because the inside of the conference room was quiet that everyone's gaze gathered on the words that Kazuya leaked.

"... Your husband?

"Don't you remember, a thousand years old. When I tried to build the Spruit base."

"of Spruit Base... is it construction?

"Oh, what happened in the basement of the original planned construction of Spruit Base?

"Spruit Base... Construction... Underground...? Huh!? Underground lake!!

Thousands of years old look at events and things forgotten on the other side of their memories by Kazuya's words in remembrance and surprise.

"Oh, yeah. d It was because there was a big underground lake that you went out of your way to avoid the underground lake and build a spruce base, right? Take advantage of it."

"No way...... are you going to blow up the base and knock Behemoth off into the underground lake with an explosion of the Magic Furnace!?

"Exactly. There's an underground lake about directly beside Spruit Base, right? So when Behemoth comes directly above the base, if he destroys the base's underground facility with an explosion of demon conductors, Behemoth falls underground, and the vast amount of water in the underground lake flows into it. That will also prevent an eruption. And we don't use nuclear energy, so we don't have to worry about radioactive contamination of underground lakes and underground waters."

"But is that operation going to work so well?

"- Chiyoda!! Which one has a better chance of continuing interception with normal force or sinking Behemoth into the water of the underground lake with the explosion of the demon conductor furnace!?

"... slight difference, I thought the latter"

"Bye!!

Kazuya, who cleaned up his thousand-year-old doubts by Chiyoda's remarks, raised his voice when he banged his desk.

"Did you guys hear what I said? Moving on to destroying Behemoth using a composite proposal mixed with the one proposed by Ensign Florence Technologies than this!!

"" "" Roger!!

In Kazuya's proclamation, the generals took their seats and saluted each other.

Each flew out of the room to accomplish what was to be done.

"Florence Tech Ensign!!

"What... Oh yes!! What is it!?

Kazuya speaks to the Florence Technological Ensign, who watched as if he had bewitched that.

"I'll temporarily give you the rank of colonel, so take responsibility as a proponent and finish the special assault armor demon conductor with a kick-ass bomb."

"What? I... Colonel?

"Hmm? Can't you?

"... oh, yay, I will!! Let me do it!!

"All right, Ibu!!

"Ha, what is it?

"Ask for her backup"

Copy that, sir.

Kazuya ordered Ibuki, who remained in the conference room, to revisit the Florence Technical Ensign and follow the Florence Technical Colonel's backup.

He himself followed the conference room to take overall command with Chiyoda and Chiyoda.

――――――――――――

Evacuated refugees and non-combatants who had fled, and even more so most of the assembled forces, were evacuated, and the lights were brilliant because they were dark as night, despite the fact that it was midday because of volcanic ashes that would not stop coming down at Spruit base, where only the earliest few personnel remained.

And behemoth shows up in front of Spruit Base as he was attracted to such lights.

"Huh!! Behemoth breaks into 1st interception line!! We are within range of train cannons and lattes!!

An operator's voice sounds announcing the arrival of Behemoth inside the Operations Command Room.

"Are you here?... What happened to the dragons and other demons?

"At this time, we cannot confirm its existence."

"He's not here? Where'd it disappear?... well. If you're not here, don't stay. It's just convenient. But don't just fail to be alert - the attack begins."

Kazuya grants permission to attack even as he is surprised that a swarm of earthdragons flirting with the scattered Parabellan army will not emerge in the earlier battle.

Moment after moment, thirteen train guns and the main guns of Latte blew fire at the same time.

Two 80-cm and 28-cm shells fired into the volcanic ash sky with the roar, and eleven large-calibre shells hit the head of Behemoth, where 6-7 shots are the target, after several decades of flight.

But the Parabellan army, which sniped Behemoth's head to avoid provoking a volcanic eruption, was right, but none of the Behemoth damage caused by the shelling, and after the burst of smoke produced by the bursting shells cleared up, he had no heart or Behemoth's eyes seemed angry.

- GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

No, I was completely angry.

"It would be easier if you forgot me with anger. - Ibuki, what's going on with Colonel Florence Technologies?

Kazuya asked Ibuki as he turned his eyes to the display showing Behemoth, who raised the roar of anger and slightly increased the speed with which he walked.

"Ha, fortunately, the magic conductor of the special raid armor has already been brought into the basement of Spruit Base because it was used in the former outpost - the current Dublin Base - not the mainland. Colonel Florence Technologies and other technicians are also on site. So after that, we're only going to have to predict the timing and push through the critical mass of the magic furnace."

"Okay. Thousands of years old, what's going on with the backup plan?

"Ha, we have completed the installation of explosives at about fifty percent of the underground facilities at the moment. I'll make sure Behemoth gets it done by the time he gets to the base."

"Okay. Then we'll just have to wait."

While watching the battlefield in the ops room, Kazuya and the others were all set, waiting quietly for that moment.

"... ugh!? A herd of earthdragons emerged from the volcano of Behemoth!!

"The number of individuals in the earth dragon, roughly 20,000!! Oh, what!? Doh, the dirt dragon is breaking up into dozens of units of population and heading to Spruit Base on each one!!

Shortly after the distance between Spruit Base and Behemoth cut five kilometers, a herd of earthdragons emerged from the volcano on Behemoth's back.

Besides, I don't know if they took advantage of the lessons from the earlier battles, but the dragons were approaching Spruit Base with a small group created and a constant distance between each other's groups.

Yakuza has intelligence for demons.

Unnaturally, Kazuya opens her mouth while feeling uncomfortable with the behavior of the dominant dragon.

"... it's tidal time. Florence, retreat the tech colonels and engineers."

"Ha, got it."

With the approaching of Behemoth and the dragon, withdrawal orders are issued to the Florence technical colonels and engineers who served on each mission until the end in the basement of Spruit Base.

"Well... you bastards, are you ready?

"" "'Answer!!

And it was the rebels aboard Strv.103D, held by the base guard after only three hours of teaching - former Lt. Mishima Yaodo and his men - who came to the aid of the allies for whom the withdrawal order was issued.

Strv.103D, which is the equivalent of a second-generation main tank equipped by the Swedish army, is the ideal tank for intercepting enemies because it directly secures a 105mm rifle cannon to the wedge-shaped body and reduces vehicle height and frontal projection area by equipping it with an automatic loading device, thus minimizing the height of space in the vehicle.

However, it is also a tank that tends to be misunderstood by drive tanks, self-propelled guns, assault cannons, etc. because of its unique shape, which is a clean tank but does not have a turret.

"All cars, prepare to fire - shoot. Yikes!!

Yao Dou, who is being made to serve in such a Strv.103D, gave an attack order against all ten Strv.103Ds that were beneath him when he pointed the L74 105mm rifle cannons at the approaching earthdragons over the binocular aimer.

"All cars, back off!! Pull while shooting!!

"" "" Roger!!

When a grenade is released from 10 L74 105mm rifle cannons to blow up a dirt dragon, Yao Dou and the others begin to retreat at full speed while taking advantage of the Strv.103D characteristics that can be advanced at about the same speed as advancing with two Ksp.58 7.62mm machine guns.

Incidentally, it is the job of the communicator and co-pilot sitting in a rear-facing cockpit provided for the rear of the vehicle body to carry out the maneuvering of the vehicle body during retreat.

"Loading complete, Ryomiya!! Pull over!!

"Roger!!

When the loading of the shells on the automatic loading device is complete, Yaodu flies a stop order to the lieutenant Ryomiya, who sits in the rear cockpit.

"Eat this!!

And when the body wobble of the parked Strv.103D subsided, Yaodu peeked into the binocular aimer again and fired artillery, blowing up the dirt dragon.

"You're pretty good"

Kazuya accidentally leaked words watching the struggles of the remote-doers from the ops command room.

"... at all"

Alas, Chitose, who was looking to dispose of the Yao Dou men in this battle, was only a little irritated by the fact that his prospects were off.

Confirm evacuation of all units from Spruit base.

"Behemoth will be right above Spruit Base."

Fifteen minutes after Yao Dou and the others managed to do their part, shaking off the pursuit of the dragon and leaving the battlefield safely.

Finally, Behemoth came directly above Spruit base.

At this point, however, the magic conductor in the matter had not yet reached a critical point.

"Master, are you sure you want to move to a backup plan?

"No, wait. How many minutes till the critical point of the Magic Furnace?

"It's roughly five minutes!!

"Then I'll be fine. We'll see how it goes."

Copy that, sir.

Upon hearing the operator's reply, Kazuya ordered him to wait at the age of a thousand in order to be fully operational, and decided to endure some slow flowing time.

However, that waiting time will make Spruit Base appear to be ravaged by Behemoth, greatly frustrating the Kazuyas.

"3… 2… 1… 0 to the critical point of the demon conductor furnace"

And five minutes later. The moment comes when Kazuya and the others wait.

The critical point of the special raid armor's demon conductor has been breached, and there has been a major explosion in the basement of Spruit Base comparable to a nuclear explosion.

As a result, the surrounding land was hit by a shake like a giant earthquake.

The ground part of Spruit Base, which is also a blast site, began to collapse when the underground facility completely disappeared.

Destroying the base before it was completely skinless, Behemoth, who was slowly about to follow the scene, is caught in the hands of the fallen demon and dragged into a giant vertical hole.

Moreover, unfortunately, Behemoth had fallen into the vertical hole as if he had flipped from his hind leg, so he could not get up again.

As a result, Behemoth had already been rendered incapable of combat at this point, but he could not stand because the cold water in the underground lake became turbid and poured into the vertical hole.

Behemoth blew to pieces of wood as a result of a massive water vapor explosion that resulted from the contact of lava and underground lake water flowing out of the volcano, which was his own weapon.

"... you're done"

Kazuya quietly closed her eyes and sighed when she saw the wretched end of her struggling opponent.
