Chapter 412: Preparations for Invasion / Yuki
The announcement of the Elysian Ten Gods of War was greeted with an enthusiastic mood of welcome in the country. In accordance with the policy of the current emperor, Rafishal in fact, there was a strong atmosphere of militarization in the Elysian Empire, which was intoxicated with the idea of overpowering the other nations.
In fact, although the Elysian Empire was sometimes beaten by the Kingdom of Lacia, it was never defeated on other battlefields, and the news of its victories became a topic of conversation among the people of the Empire. Since most of the battles against the Kingdom of Lacia went unreported due to information restrictions, the people had no doubt that their army was racking up great victories.
Yuki, what's the new mission for us?"
Mary, the second-in-command, asks about the Rose Needle Corps' new mission. Tomorrow, war will be declared by the Elysian Empire to all the nations of the continent. In conjunction with that, a mission was handed down to us.
We are to go to reinforce the Elysian Empire in its war against the Kingdom of Lacia."
Another nasty battleground to be sent into.
You say that like it's someone else's problem. You're forgetting that this is Rose Needle's mission."
Yuki is the only one who is expected to be a force to be reckoned with, and we're just a bonus. It would be good to feel at ease, as if we were someone else's problem.
I don't think of you as an add-on. I'm really counting on you.
Yes, yes, let's start preparing for the mission right away, shall we? Lacia is a formidable opponent, so we need to prepare properly.
It's true that I rely on them, but they listen to me half-heartedly.
Oh, that's right. Rafishal said he'd give me a reward, so I asked him to reinforce the arsenal of the Rose Needle.
It's so like Yuki to use her precious reward for the sake of her friends. If it were me, I would fulfill my personal desires."
It's okay. I didn't really want anything in particular.
So what's the deal with the armaments upgrade?"
I don't know the details, but they say we should get it tomorrow."
If they give you reinforcements that quickly, it's no big deal. At best, it would be additional personnel and more equipment for magicrafts.
I too think that's about the extent of it but there is never a problem with having a lot of manpower. I'll take it gratefully.
In the end the reward for Rose Needle was a new nitro rider, a new battleship-type ride carrier, and 50 state-of-the-art magicrafts, plus an enhancement to my Elvira.
That's a lot of money. Is there something going on behind the scenes?
Mary is completely suspicious of their intentions. It was such an unnatural reward. I too could not understand Rafishals true intentions. I'm sure he understands that I don't like him. I wonder what he intends to do by giving so much power to someone who would betray him in a heartbeat if it weren't for the jewel in my chest.
With the addition of new forces, the structure of the unit was reviewed. In order to demonstrate the power of the most advanced magicrafts, those with high Ludia values were assigned to board the most advanced machines, regardless of whether they were new or old.
The squadron was organized with the newly built battleship-type ride carrier as the new flagship. Furthermore, the armament was reviewed and the attack power of the entire unit was greatly improved.
We are not particularly looking for strength, but the stronger we are, the more our people will be able to survive. That's all I was thinking about right now.
