Okay. Fraise, huh? With a demon like that, no wonder Fuyao-dono made the frame gear.

　Gee, the King of Belfast leans back in his chair. I didn't make the frame gear, to be precise.
　Besides me, the other monarchs here are the monarchs of the Western Alliance. King Belfast, Emperor Regulus, King Lefries, King Mismid, Pope Lamish, and the new King Regnier. They represent the six kingdoms.
　I told the kings first of all about Freys. An invader from another world who destroyed the ancient kingdom. And that now it was about to happen again in Euron. I didn't tell him about the "King" of Freys or Babylon. We're talking about the Frame Gear, which I found in an ancient ruin, restored, and manufactured a duplicate, or something like that. Well, they're not generally wrong.

'Well, what's that Frase thing? Are you that tough?
As a matter of fact, they're in our country, too. There's only one of them, though. It was said to have no magic, was very hard, and even had the ability to regenerate.

　The Beast King of Mismid replied to the new King Linie who raised his hand timidly. 'You mean the snake-shaped one that Lean defeated,' he said.

''Ten thousand such things have appeared in Euron........ Fuyu-dono, is this just a temporary thing? Or is this kind of thing going to continue?
This case seems to be fairly rare, but we may see a few of them here and there. "This case seems to be quite rare, but it may occur here and there in the future. There is a possibility that we will have another big attack like this one when something happens. ...I'm sorry, I don't know for sure.
'Well..... No, don't worry about it.

　Emperor Regulus gave a small smile and closed his mouth. I'm not an expert on Freys. But I'm probably the one in this world who knows the most about Freys, except for Ende.

'Honestly, it may appear in your country as well. With that in mind, please take a look at this.

　An image floats on the wall of the conference room. It's a video of the summoned bird I just flew to Euron with my phone.
　A video of a large army of Frays attacking the village and slaughtering people mercilessly is shown from an aerial perspective. There was no mercy whatsoever, and the slaughterers were killing the fleeing people as if it were a task. The six kings had sweat on their foreheads, but they still stared at Fraise and the others without taking their eyes off the image.

''This is Frayze........''
'This is real time ... uh, this isn't something that's happening now. It happened an hour ago. It seems that once the Frays destroyed this village, they started to march to the next one.

　When I received my phone from the returning bird and saw the footage, I felt very discouraged. All I had to do was film the flames, but I didn't expect them to film the scene of the attack on the village. It was heartbreaking to think of the people who could have been saved, but I dared to show the footage in front of the king and others.
　I wanted them to feel a sense of urgency, but I also wanted them to imagine what it would be like. I wanted them to imagine what they would think if it happened in their own country," he said.

'What about Shen Hai, the capital of Yulong?'

　When Emperor Lefries asked a question, he switched from the image of Freys and the others to the map display. A small red light was moving around. It was probably moving towards the villages and towns where humans lived.
　Shen Hai was already turning red.

''They seem to have managed to resist, but it's probably only a matter of time before they fall. The purpose of the Flames is to kill humans. He won't move from here until he has killed every single human in this city.''
'My God...'

　Pope Ramish holds his mouth and shudders. The Frays are attacking the city just to kill humans. He kills every human there, and when he's done, he heads somewhere to find the next one. It's like locusts ravaging the grain and flying one after another.

''Fuyao-san, over there.......in the lower right corner of Shen Hai.......those flames seem to be disappearing little by little......?
What?

　Looking at the place pointed out to me by the new King Linier, the light is indeed slowly disappearing. This is.........oh, Ende!

'I actually had a collaborator, and I provided him with the frame gear. Perhaps that person is the one fighting.
I see. So you're saying that frame gears are a good enough countermeasure?

　Ende's own power may be a factor, but as the King of Belfast says, that's the main point of this meeting. I paused for a beat to get the heart of the conversation out of my mouth.

''Brunhild will now conduct the eradication of the Freys with the Flame Gear. Therefore, we ask the nations of the Western Alliance to approve this.
Wait, wait! You're going to deal with all that?

　No wonder His Majesty the Beast King was surprised. Even if we scraped together our knights, Yumina and the others, and those who can ride the Flame Gear, there are probably less than a hundred of them. By my calculations, if each of them defeated more than a hundred of them, they could be eradicated, but even so, it could be said to be reckless.

''In the meantime, I'll put an emergency escape spell on the frame gear. If the aircraft is wrecked, the passengers will be transferred to a specific location. Of course, there's nothing we can do if the death was instantaneous, such as if the cockpit was crushed, but.......

　Fortunately, the aircraft is only in its own right, thanks to the fact that we've been mass-producing them until now. At worst, if it's wrecked, we'll have no choice but to switch from one to the next and deal with it.
　And the Pope raises a small hand.

''Fuyao-sama, I have one question. Is this demon called Frazeez an enemy to 'that one' as well?
''I don't know if they are enemies or not. And he said he didn't know. But again, this is not going to be interfered with by 'that person'. Because this is our problem.
What are you talking about?

　Emperor Liefries, who doesn't understand what we're talking about, nods his head. I don't think "that man" = God.

''I understand. My Lamish church nation will also fight together with Brunhild dukedom. Fortunately, with the magic tool 《Frame Unit》 that Fuyao-sama lent us, I think some of the Holy Knights are able to ride that frame gear.
What?

　Will the Holy Order of the Ramish join in? No, it's helpful, but is it good? How dangerous is that?
　Seeing this, King Mismid raises his hand.

'Oops, if that's the case, I'll help Mismid too. I can't leave you to your own devices.
'The Kingdom of Belfast will be there, of course.
And Regulus, too.
And Leafy's.
Linier, too.
You guys know what I mean? We're dealing with a very dangerous person. Why bother....

　When I warned him about this, he replied in unison, "You don't tell me that. You're right.
　But, if I may say so, I don't see any benefit to doing this, it's just dangerous. The King of Belfast answered my question honestly, "There are several reasons for this.

The King of Belfast answered my question. First of all, Euron will probably not be able to maintain its former strength after such a devastating blow and will have to turn to other countries. It would be better to sell them a favor. Secondly, he wanted his own knights to experience the battle against the Frays. You never know when your country will experience the same thing that happened to Euron. The second is to protect Brunhild, or rather, Fuyu-dono. The technology and culture of this country are excellent. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future. Oh well, that's about it.''

　I see. How can I say it's a bit of a slap in the face. It's true that Yulon is going to have a tough time even if this battle is over. We don't even know if the Heavenly Emperor in the capital is still alive.
　Well, as far as I'm concerned, an attempt was made on my life, right? I don't care much if he's alive or dead. If he's alive, I'll help him, if he's dead, I'm sorry, and that's it. I'll do what I can to help.

The problem is, when it's all over...
"You think our neighbors are going to make a move on a weakened Euron?
Isn't that unbelievable? But when it comes down to this, Brunhild's territory between us and Hannock is pretty useful.

　At the moment, there are six neighboring countries with Euron: Hii, Fuu, Mi......six countries. If Yisheng is included, it's seven countries.

　The Kingdom of Hannock is to the west. The Demon Kingdom of Xenoas to the north. To the east is the Kingdom of Nokia, and across the sea is Yisheng, the God Kingdom. To the south are the Kingdom of Horne and the Kingdom of Felsen, and across the river is the Federation of Rhodomere.



　It's impossible to predict what will happen when a great country surrounded by so many countries is shaken.
　But for now, we have to solve the problem at hand.

Then, since you are willing to cooperate, we will lend each country two black knights and eighteen heavy knights for their commanders, for a total of twenty planes. Please select the passengers for them. Ninety planes from Brunhild's side and a total of 120 from the Western Alliance, for a total of 210 planes.
I don't think we can win with just this, do you have a plan?
There are currently two types of Flames: low-grade and mid-grade. I believe that Flame Gear can defeat these lower class species with little trouble. ─ ─ Search. How many intermediate species are there? Blue light.

　The red light on the projected map changes to a blue light.

'Start search. ........Finish. Displayed. There are 1,035 intermediate species.
About 10%. It's down to the point where one plane can take out five of them. Can you manage that?

　Emperor Leafs looks at the screen as he flattens his bald head.

''In fact, it's not so easy, since we're kicking up a storm of low-grade species that come to us,'' he said. And I have one more plan.

　I'll start explaining the strategy up front. But it's not a difficult strategy. I will use the "King" sound I got from Ende to divide Frase and the others and lead them in three directions.
　If one of the three groups decimated the Frays, I would immediately send that group to the other groups with transfer magic to disperse them. I'm always trying to balance the forces.

''Wait a minute. So you're saying that Fuyao-sama won't be riding the Flame Gear this time?
'Yes. I'm going to fly around the battlefield, covering for everyone as I go, and try to help out.

　I'll say what I was thinking in response to Pope Ramish's question. Perhaps it's better this time. There's no telling when and where trouble will arise. In order to deal with it, I'll need to be in a position to move freely.

''Indeed, of the three divided battlefields, it's only Fuyao-dono who can discern which is advantageous and which is disadvantageous, and turn his forces here and there...?''
'Yes. I can manage to cross the Frayze in the flesh, too.
''That doesn't really explain it either........ Is there a need for frame gears for Fuyoru-dono?
Even if you can beat them, it's still going to take a long time to do it in the flesh. It's easier to defeat them quickly with frame gear.

　While replying to His Majesty the Emperor, he decided to call the meeting over since time was short. In the meantime, Yulon was in danger. We must hurry.

'I'll pick you up in an hour. I will pick you up in an hour. In the meantime, please finish explaining the situation and selecting the crew for the Flame Gear.

　I will open the Gates and send the king and his knights out to their respective countries.
　We don't have much time. We have a lot of work to do here. We'll do what we can until the last minute.
