Streaks of sunshine peeked via the evening sky of the desert… The “Ostland”, which Louise and the others have been on, flew at most pace whereas spewing out thick black smoke.

There have been no resistance from the Elves in sight anymore. This was as a result of Louise had worn out the elite Elven air drive, consisting of ten conflict ships and sixteen patrol ships, along with her “Explosion” spell.

Nevertheless, the “Ostland” was additionally closely broken after bearing the brunt of the cannon shells. There have been gaping holes within the ship hull and the steam engine, which had been stretched to its limits, nearly broke down. For it to proceed flying up until now was nothing in need of a miracle.

“Jean! I can see it now!” Kirche yelled out whereas leaning on the bulwark.

“So, that’s the Elven capital metropolis, Adyl?”

Adyl. The capital of “Nephthys”, the nation of the elves.

It was a powerful synthetic metropolis constructed on the desert which was surrounded by the ocean.

Criss-crossed by a community of big canals, town was crammed with neatly organized buildings with white partitions. Islands, made from reclaimed land, peppered the ocean round it, whereas many ships went backwards and forwards between them.

Overwhelmed by the sheer scale of town, Colbert couldn’t assist however let loose a sigh.

A very completely different sight from one would discover in Halkeginia, it confirmed the deep technological disparity between the people and the elves.

On the similar time, Colbert felt as if his coronary heart grew to become as heavy as lead. After this, are they actually going to be combating in opposition to an opponent able to constructing such a metropolis…? He thought.

In the course of Adyl, which oversaw the ocean, stood a colossal white tower.

At a look, the large tower was about 2 hundred mails tall and bore no resemblance to any Halkeginian constructing. It had a strictly practical design devoid of any decorative construction.

The constructing was in fact, the “Kasper”, the place the best Elven authority, the “Council” was positioned.

They have been now solely a dozen leagues away from the middle of Adyl…

A extreme environment hung within the air simply as Guiche requested, “Mr. Colbert, I’ve a query.”

“What would that be, Mr Gramont?”

“The place would we be touchdown?”

There appeared to be a touchdown platform for Wind Dragons on the apex of the tower, however it didn’t appear able to holding such a big air ship.

“We’ll crash-land the ship into the tower itself.” Colbert mentioned firmly.

Guiche didn’t imagine his ears. Even Kirche widened her eyes.

“What? Are you severe?” Éléonore, who had been on the helm, shouted out to him.

“After all, solely somebody loopy will do this.”

“Huh?”

“However that’s the reason, the elves may not be ready to cope with this.” Colbert mentioned this with a severe expression.

Truly this was not some particular plan to assault the enemy the place they have been least anticipated. They needed to guess on this type of plan to even get a millionth of an opportunity since they’d not actually have a millionth of an opportunity of successful a head-on battle in opposition to the elves.

“Irrespective of how you place it, that is too reckless!”

“It was already reckless from the purpose the place we rushed into Elven territory anyway.” Colbert retorted.

“W-what if, we failed?”

“Then we’ll be blasted into bits.” Malicorne mentioned nonchalantly.

“Hey, what’s that angle of yours… one small mistake and it’ll value us our lives, you understand.”

“And that’s why you’ve a giant duty to not drive us to our dying, huge sis.”

“Are you asking to be kicked off the ship?”

“Effectively, it received’t be too unhealthy if I’d have the ability to go to heaven with huge sis hand-in-hand, I believe.”

“Why would anybody wish to go to heaven with you, and even take your hand, huh?” Éléonore booted Malicorne off to the bulwark in a single swift movement, earlier than gripping the helm tightly as if she had made up her thoughts. “There isn’t a manner I’m dying right here, as a result of I’ve not given up on getting married.”

The “Ostland” steered straight for the “Kasper”.

In the meantime, Kirche leaned on Colbert, who was standing on the deck with a severe expression on his face. “Jean, even when it is a journey that ends in hell, I’d at all times be by your aspect.”

“Thanks, Miss Zerbst.”

Simply then, Kirche observed that, her blue-haired good friend, was sitting within the nook of the deck.

“Significantly? You’re studying a guide, even at the moment?”

Tabitha’s eyes didn’t go away the guide, and he or she solely nodded in response to the query.

“You actually simply do no matter you please, huh?”

What’s it that was so attention-grabbing to her… Kirche slipped behind Tabitha as she wished to uncover the mysterious content material inside the tattered covers of the guide.

Nevertheless, looking on the contents solely made her extra confused.

What Tabitha was studying was a illustrated guide for youngsters.

“Oh, that is uncommon. Isn’t a lot of the books you learn far more troublesome than this?”

“It is a crucial guide to me.”

“Oh…” Kirche muttered in disappointment as she turned to have a look at the bow.

Louise was sleeping soundly on Siesta’s lap there.

Louise had been sleeping like that ever since she used up all her psychological will to solid a robust “Explosion” spell on the Elven air fleet.

“Poor lady. However it appears that evidently you’ll have to get up quickly.”

“You’re saying that the barbarians are launching an assault right here?”

“What the heck is Commander Amran doing?!”

Presently… The “Kasper” council has devolved into chaos.

This was not one thing unusual, since not solely was your entire Elven air fleet destroyed, a barbarian ship additionally took the prospect to sped in direction of Adyl. This was merely exceptional within the lengthy historical past of human-Elf wars.

“Mmhmm. Plainly we would have underestimated the talents of the barbarians.”

Upon listening to what the outdated elf on the council speaker seat, Turuk, had muttered, the council members turned grim.

“That is no joking matter, Mr. President. They should be the ’Undertakers’ who’re coming to retrieve the ’Devils’.” One of many council members spoke up.

“I’ve by no means would have thought that they have been going to make a beeline for the ’Kasper’.”

“There aren’t many guards right here, are there?”

“What are you afraid of? They’re solely barbarians, what might they do even when they have been to come back right here?”

After listening to one of many youthful council member scoffing, a few of the different members started to voice their agreements.

Effectively, it was true that each one of many elves within the council have been highly effective customers of “Historic Magic”. They didn’t must be afraid of barbarian magic, so it was pure for them to look down on the enemy.

Fear sprung up in Turuk’s thoughts as he surveyed the racket round him. “What a bunch of incurable fools.”

How can they maintain a gathering so calmly throughout these pressing instances?

The peace and concord all these centuries has corrupted the council. Because of this, fanatic zealots just like the “Metal-Blooded Social gathering” rose in energy.

“Even when our opponent are barbarians, we can’t let our guard down. Didn’t you see how our air fleet was annihilated by them?”

Everybody quieted down as Turuk threw a moist blanket over their heated dialogue.

“In any case, it could be higher if we don’t make the error of underestimating them. They could pull off one thing surprising.”

The council members didn’t appear to heed his recommendation.

Turuk let loose a sigh, regarded away with a forlorn face and sunk into deep thought.

“Miss… Miss Vallière, please get up instantly.”

“Mm… mm…”

Siesta rocked Louise’s shoulders gently, however Louise solely flipped to the aspect.

“… Saito, I-I can’t do that, to put on a collar within the courtyard… what the heck have been you pondering…”

“What sort of dream is that?” Siesta couldn’t assist however roll her eyes as she heard that.

“Cease sleeping, please get up now. The one factor that may struggle in opposition to the elves, is Miss Vallière’s ’Void’ magic.”

“… Wu… I shall not forgive you this time. Y-you made a noble like me, costume up so, embarrassingly…”

Siesta sighed and moved her face in direction of Louise’s ears. “Please get up now. Come on, get up… Get up now. Get up, you, the one and not using a chest.”

Tremble.

“Flat-chest, washboard, Tarbes plains.”

Tremble tremble.

“Such a flat, flat, flat chest~”

Each time Siesta sung her unusual tune, Louise’s ears trembled to the rhythm of the melody.

“Miss Vallière’s flat chest is the flattest it may be~”

Louise jolted upright.

“You maid! Are y-y-you carried out with that tune!”

“Ah, you’re lastly awake. Rise up, we’re about to go in, so please put together your self.”

“Go in?” Louise requested again with drowsy eyes.

“Sure, I believe we’re going to ram the ship into the tower.”

“Huh?” Louise immediately awoke utterly. “What? What are you saying once more? I didn’t understood what you’ve mentioned.”

Simply then, the “Ostland” started to shake violently.

“W-wait, what’s taking place… Aaaaaah!”

Louise and Siesta hugged one another as they rolled round on the deck.

“We’re getting in! Mr Gramont, solid ’Fortification’ on the bow now!”

After listening to Colbert’s commanded, Guiche started casting the spell for “fortification” whereas grabbing the bulwark like everybody else on the ship. Layers upon layers of magical protect instantly lined the ship hull.

“We’re dipping down at thirty levels! Everybody, maintain on tight to one thing close to you!”

The “Ostland” charged headfirst diagonally downwards at an unbelievable pace.

“Humph, nicely then, watch me deal with this! I’ll let you understand the talents of a lady who can’t be married!” Éléonore held the helm tightly as she yelled out desperately.

“That’s the spirit! Large sis!”

“Shut the hell up!” Éléonore booted Malicorne off to the bulwark once more.

Simply then, the elves on the tower realized their motive. Elven guards rushed to the tower terraces and started to solid “Historic Magic”.

Numerous fireballs, arrows of sunshine, and wind blades ravaged the ship hull. Plainly they considered altering the trail of the ship, even by a bit, since they weren’t capable of destroy such an enormous object.

“Fatty, blast them away.”

“One huge blast coming proper up!”

Malicorne ran rolling and crawling to the “important cannon” on the entrance deck, and licked it.

The numbers, “324” have been painted on the turret.

The principle cannon of the “Ostland” was not simply any atypical massive can’t. Colbert had forcibly put in the eighty-eight millimeter cannon from the “Tiger Tank” onto the ship.

Malicorne focused the elves on the terrace via the sights and pulled the set off forcefully.

Growth! The cannon roared thunderously because it spat out an enormous cannon shell. On the similar time, the shell flew ahead in a straight line and devastated the terrace.

“Effectively carried out, fatty!” Éléonore stored turning the steering wheel whereas she planted her foot onto Malicorne’s face as he was blown away by the shock wave. Malicorne had a face of pure bliss as his face was stepped on.

They got here nearer and nearer to the large body of the “Kasper”.

Fifty mails, forty mails, thirty mails, twenty mails…

“Impression imminent!” Guiche screamed out.

Right away, the ship bow collided into the partitions with a deafening blast.

“Aaaaaah!”

The collision drive was so sturdy that Louise and Siesta involuntarily let go of the bulwark.

Their our bodies have been thrown out of the ship. There was a quick second the place Louise felt as if gravity had disappeared. “Ah, I’m going to fall…” Simply as she thought this, she felt as if any person grabbed maintain of her collar and pulled her up.

“Huh?”

“Kew, kew. You’re actually a troublemaker, little pink one!”

Nonetheless in shock, Louise, raised her head solely to seek out Sylphid, who was carrying Tabitha on her again, hooking them by their collars.

“T-thank you.”

Tabitha answered Louise’s smooth phrases of gratitude with a curt nod, her face expressionless.

The mud within the air step by step settled down.

They may see how the big physique of the “Ostland” was caught mid-way into the tower.

Although a lot of the hull armor is destroyed, the engines and the motors have been simply barely functioning. If the ship had been made from wooden, even when the “fortification” spell was solid on it, it could nonetheless break for positive.

“Is everybody alright?” Colbert coughed as he tried to face up.

“Miss Éléonore, that was some very good steering you probably did there.”

“What the hell was I even doing simply now…” Éléonore grumbled as she coughed.

“Alright then, we’ll be charging into the center of Elven territory. Is everybody prepared for this?”

After listening to what Colbert has mentioned, everybody nodded silently. They every started to tug out their magic wands.

“Very nicely.” Colbert then took the lead, and jumped down from the deck, adopted by Louise, Kirche, Guiche, Malicorne and Tabitha.

Siesta, who was not able to magic, and Éléonore, who was the ship pilot, stayed on the ship in order that they might take off instantly after they introduced a hostage.

“Watch out, infant, kew, kew!” Sylphid yelled out, involved about everybody. Tabitha nodded and mentioned that it could be alright.

Siesta crawled onto the bulwark, and mentioned to Louise, “Miss Vallière, you need to come again with Saito and Louise. Promise me that.”

“Yup, I’ll promise you that.”

“Miss Vallière, you additionally should return safely to make use of, okay?”

“After all.”

“You actually, actually should, you understand.”

“I do know, I do know.”

“If… Miss Vallière doesn’t come again, Saito might be mine, okay?”

“In your desires.”

After listening to Louise reply with out lacking a beat, Siesta gave her a small smile.

“Oh? Your legs are shaking, Guiche.”

“That is known as the warrior’s tremblings. What would you understand about that, huh?” Guiche retorted Kirche’s teasing in an try to spice up his braveness. “So what if we’re going to struggle in opposition to elves. Even when he was knocked down by my golems numerous instances, Saito nonetheless stood his floor and didn’t not give up. He was the one who proved that commoners might struggle again in opposition to the magicians. Combating with the elves is nothing in comparison with that.”

Guiche held on to his wand tightly. “Additionally, what we’ve chosen to participate in, is an honorable battle to save lots of our comrades. Don’t you assume so too?”

“That’s proper, to save lots of our comrade… and the fairy with a big chest. That is the perfect battle ever. It’s such a easy objective, we’re not like these Romanians yelling about some holy campaign.” Malicorne mentioned.

“That’s proper, we might even save the world. Give it some thought, if we handle to return alive, wouldn’t that make us a lot well-liked with the women?”

“Guiche, didn’t you have already got Mon-Mon?”

“This and which can be utterly various things. Would you complain about being extra well-liked with the women?”

“You’re proper.”

The each of them patted one another’s backs and laughed at one another.

“You guys…” Louise couldn’t assist however roll her eyes at them.

Colbert gave a light-weight cough. “Ahem.”

“After we cost into the place, we are going to take an elf with a rating as excessive as doable as our hostage, and have them to change the elf for Saito.”

“How will we have the ability to know which elf are the upper rating ones?” Louise requested.

“Effectively, no less than, I believe these elves received’t be dressed as a guard.”

They’ll appear like these elves again in Alhambra then, Louise thought to herself.

“I’ll handle the guards from the decrease ranges of the tower.” Tabitha mentioned.

“Are you okay alone?” Louise requested worriedly.

“It’s alright. I’m used to working alone.”

“Watch out, okay?”

Tabitha gave a small nod, earlier than casting the “Flying” spell and flew down from the tall tower.

“Miss Valiere, what number of instances might you employ the ’Void’ once more?”

“I believe I might use it just a few extra instances.”

Although Louise mentioned it with a agency voice, she was really simply making an attempt to placed on a courageous face. To inform the reality, her psychological will had been extremely diminished by the additional highly effective “Explosion” spell she solid to annihilate the Elven air fleet.

Nevertheless, the thought that “she should save Saito” known as out in her thoughts, making her coronary heart tremble. This trembling of her coronary heart was the supply of her psychological will, the ammunition have to solid “Void” spells. That feeling outmoded her anger, her pleasure and even her grief… So long as the trembling of her coronary heart, because of her craving for Saito, exists, irrespective of how robust it was, she would have the ability to struggle her manner out of it.

Saito, might you please look forward to me, just a bit longer… I’ll prevent.

Possibly they’ve taken away his sanity and his reminiscences of me, besides, I’ll by no means surrender.

That’s as a result of he’s my acquainted, and I’m his grasp, and a-also his lover… That’s proper, once we meet, I have to make him hug me tightly, t-then make him kiss me…

“Oh please, what are you daydreaming about?”

She observed that Kirche was asking her with a face stuffed with doubt.

“I-I wasn’t daydreaming in any respect!” Louise’s face couldn’t assist however flush pink at Kirche’s query.

“Lets go then, to save lots of Saito and Miss Tiffania.” Colbert mentioned, as he raised his wand up excessive.

And so, after everybody silently overlapped their wands within the air, they charged straight into the center of the tower.
