 The Royal Army of Resolute has defied our advice.

 What do they want?

 Do the odds favor us?

 Or is there a reason why we should fight here?

 I could not understand the reason why the other side did not back down.

 However, I could make some guesses, though I could not be sure of the opponent's true intentions.

 One of the reasons for their refusal to back down is that the Kingdom of Resolute does not consider us, with whom they are allied, to be a complete ally.

 There is a strong possibility that Kyle will win a crushing defeat against the allied forces in King's Landing, and the power structure north of King's Landing will change drastically.

 If they take the territory of Reinsatz in the west, they may think that it would be dangerous, no matter how strong the Kingdom of Rizolute is in the south.

 If the expansion of Reed's territory is left unchecked at this point, it could be a root of future disasters.

 It is possible that he thinks so and wants to take Reinsatz territory even if he has to.

 However, another possibility is that they are genuinely confident in their own abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The basis for this is the existence of the Dragon Knight Unit, which is renowned for being the strongest.

 They probably think that their unique ability to fly in the sky is a major factor.

 In particular, Barka's magic guns, the entire cavalry, and Kyle's plant attacks, which we heard on the radio, are only effective on the ground.

 I think that they have decided that they can do it because they have heard the radio broadcasts.

 And that guess is probably correct.

 The Royal Army of Risorthe, which was positioned on the banks of the Rhine, confirmed the movement of Barca's army, and then the flying dragons took off.

 The dragon knight squadrons did not all act together, but flew in the sky as if they were spread over a wide area.

 Probably, their purpose is to provide covering fire from the sky against the battle on the ground.

 There are only a few countermeasures we can take against them.

 If we are to deal with flying opponents, it is possible for me to wield a ku-zeki-sword.

 However, a long-range slashing attack with a sky-high sword consumes more magical power than expected.

 It would be manageable if you were to defeat 20 or so of the head of the Reinzatz army, but it would take a lot of effort to take on a squad of more than 300 dragon knights one by one.

 Besides, the dragon knight troops of the Kingdom of Resolute are not all here.

 Considering the possibility of hostility in the future, it is necessary to confirm whether other methods will work.

 However, it is not too much to expect magic airships, airships, or balloons as air power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Magic airships can fly high in the sky, but they are not designed for combat, and airships and balloons are floating on the air heated by the flames of fire ores, and their movement is dependent on the wind, so they are not fast.

 If faced with a flying dragon, they would be shot down immediately.

 I am sure that the Kingdom of Resolute is aware of this.

 The only use of air power I have ever used in warfare was to fly overhead and drop things from above.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 The special attack of dropping magical weapons from airships is of course powerful, but it is only effective against castle attacks, and may not be effective against flying dragons in the sky.

 It may not be effective against flying dragons.

 But we are well aware of that.

 Of course we knew that besides Barca, the Kingdom of Resolute possessed something that many other noble families did not: air power.

 And he was thinking of the possibility that one day they might develop into a battle with the Kingdom of Risorthe and take on the Dragon Knight Corps.

 Flying in the sky at high speed, the knights on the backs of flying dragons attacked with magic.

 A method to fight against them on equal or more than equal terms.

 In addition, it is preferable to be able to use it even in my absence.

 I once thought that I should build a kind of fighter plane that can be used purely as an air power, instead of a magical airship built for the purpose of carrying people.

 But that was also a bit of a thought.

 Vulcania is floating at a very high altitude in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I have not checked, but it seems that although flying dragons can fly, they cannot soar that high in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 In other words, the Royal Army of Resolute riding a flying dragon would not fly to Vulcania on its back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Therefore, we did not want to mass-produce something like fighter planes and create the possibility that Vulcania might be attacked in the future.

 So, I have been thinking about it for a long time.

 I wondered if it would be possible to have an air force that could take on the dragon knight units of the Kingdom of Risorthe, while at the same time minimizing the possibility that other forces besides Vulcania would use that air force.

 This has become possible only recently.

 We will test our new air power against the Dragon Knight Unit here, though it will be a sudden introduction into actual combat.

 They were launched on my command, and I looked up at the sky to see the results of the new force as it advanced toward the flying dragons.
