----Shuichi's point of view...

　From the watchtower of the Fifth Training Area on G-88, I watch my men training on the ground. The terrain, which is overwhelmingly unfavorable to the attackers, is still making it difficult to coordinate between units.

'B Company!　Move on!　There's a C Company stuck up your ass!

　They grab their radios and shout at Company B, but they are unable to advance as they are under heavy suppressive fire from the enemy in front of them, who are hiding. Company A, which is making a detour attack, is also stranded by a small number of enemy power-suit troops who have come around the flank as well.

'Commander, we have a weather report from the carrier Siren, which is patrolling offshore. A low pressure system is developing, and visibility is rapidly closing in. It's difficult to dispatch any more landing parties or support the landing...

　When I checked the weather radar on Ellis's report, I couldn't see the landing site anymore. The number of people who were able to land in 4 hours at the start of the operation is about 600 - but it's still the limit of the landing craft alone. We have no choice but to retreat and bet on the second landing operation.

Training is over. Half of the attackers currently on land are assumed to have been killed in the retreat. Tell your units to regroup with that in mind.

Yes, sir.

　When the end of the training was announced over the radio, the blizzard that had been brewing suddenly stopped and the sunshine came in from the sky. As expected of the high-ranking Ursna Empire, it's unbelievable to us that 200 people can gather together and to some extent change the weather conditions of a fifty kilometer radius. But that's why we're able to train for the invasion of the Antarctic Continent.

''Captain, wouldn't it be better to adopt the strategy that you used and modified in the past, Gongju-kun?

　The training is over, so Ellis, who has called out to me as a captain instead of a commander, said that while keeping his face down. It's true that the plan that Gongju drew up for the polar operations is probably the one with the highest success rate. However, there is only one problem.

This is a plan to force a raid by an elite force against the enemy headquarters. It has a high success rate, because it's a plan to use intercontinental ballistic missiles to penetrate the enemy's headquarters from outside the atmosphere. But in order to do it, you'd have to 'fly' it.

It's...

　The only person who can fly with an external part for flying in a power suit is Koki. We can only float for short periods of time at best, and I don't know how much training it takes to learn how to fly. And according to Miki, how much experience did Gongju have to gain to master it....

''We'll resume training in two hours. Until then...

　There was a knock at the door. Who is it?　There's no way we're going to get visitors to this training ground over 1,800 kilometers from Noah Island.

Enter.

　When I allowed them to enter, two beautiful women entered the room along with Noah's guards, and I was surprised to see them.

''Your Highness Adrienne!　And even Her Majesty Victoria......... I beg your pardon!　I just thought it was your subordinate, so...

Don't mind me. It's been a long time, Mr. Shuichi.

It's been a long time.

　They greeted me with a smile, not caring about my disrespect. But what the hell do they want?　The treatment of the high-ranking surgeons of the Ursna Empire who are on loan to His Majesty Victoria is treating them as officers. I'm sure they are not working with disrespect to the knights of the Merkava Kingdom who are in charge of a few people as spectator tubes.
　I was wondering why he came all the way to this place to see me, when His Majesty Victoria opened her mouth.

'The other day, Miki-dono informed me of Noah's situation. And also about your son, Kouki," she said. Afterwards, the mistresses of the Ursna Empire and the kingdom of Merkava held a secret meeting with Noah.

"The subject of our meeting is a volunteer army to be sent to Noah's side. In other words, we are planning to send a Multicultural Alliance soldier to your world, Mr. Shuichi.

　It's a nice offer for the Empire and the Kingdom to jointly send troops to us. However, borrowing their civilization-level troops would not only not work for the New World side, but would only result in their immediate destruction.

I know what you're thinking by looking at your face. You don't think that our soldiers are of any use, do you?

No, that's not true. But if we're going to fight in this world, we're going to have to take the equipment we're using against us.

Yes, I know. If you stand in front of the rifle you use, you will be easily shot down. I'm sure the missiles will crush you if you hide in the basement. If you try a sneak attack, you will only be reappeared in front of your power suits.

　If you know what you're doing, why are you trying to send your troops. These two are not the kind of dark men who wear out their own soldiers for nothing. I'm sure they have an idea.

'We won't fight, instead we will harass you thoroughly. If the enemy is hiding, we'll change the terrain. If the weather is against us, we'll change it. If we can't beat the power suit, we will cast a spell on the human spirit inside it.

You may be savages in your eyes, but you can learn from your predecessors. You have defended our empire and our kingdom. Now it's our turn to help you.

And don't worry about the magic. As long as we fill the jewels that Master Kong creates with magic, we can use magic in your world.

　I was wrong about these women... or rather the people who live in the G-88 world. I thought they couldn't compete with our technology forever. But guess what?　If the described tactics are taken, they could easily defeat us rather than fight us off, depending on the circumstances. The changes in terrain and environment are nothing short of terrifying. The map and the tactics will be completely different.

"I understand. Then I will formally request the Empire and the Kingdom to send a volunteer army.

I'll take care of it.

Leave it to him. Also, I forgot to mention that the demons have sent some troops to fight in the frigid waters, and one of them has come forward.

What's that?

I have a bad feeling about this. This is so, like this is a harbinger of something terrible that Gongju's idiot will do.

''It's the Kraken tribe. I'm sure he'll be participating this time, although he didn't participate in the last war because his main battlefield was on land. What did we say in the last mock trial?

Are you talking about the nuclear submarine?

'Oh!　That's right, we defeated that nuclear submarine, Tolstoy," he said. He says the Kraken can't use torpedoes as a blunt weapon.

　Tolstoy's torpedo was a supercavitation torpedo based on the improved Russian-made ZS-115-Gloom, right? What kind of creature is a torpedo approaching at an underwater propulsion speed of 200 knots and more than 370 kilometers per hour - what kind of creature is blunt-footed?
