Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 27: NWO Army, part 5
...—Imperial Palace, Nevada, Vermillion Empire—...
“It only confirms the truth will the information that Edelweiss has given,” comments Kanna after hearing Meyrin read out a letter coming from Etharna to Verada—which was then forwarded to Nevada by Heisuke. Edelweiss has given a sheet containing detailed information about it yesterday a day. “What sucks is that Elmira asked Division 12 for help directly; she ignored the fact that she should have sent me that letter.”
Meyrin laughed a little at Kanna's response, and Monica did not react, meaning that the girl was still struggling with the sheet of documents that Achilles had brought in earlier this afternoon. It was important for the empire to ensure stability within the country. They had to minimize the influence of the war in plain sight on the daily life of the empire. Internal conflict cannot exist.
“Maybe it's his way of telling him he'll do the conventional way if the instant way doesn't work,” Meyrin said after a few tens of seconds. “Queen Elmira did not hide her curiosity at all. She's a woman who knows what she wants. In that case, he's braver than you and Monica.”
“More courage? Elmira is not so different from Artemys. They're just shameless, aren't they, Monica?” Kanna seeks support from her allies, but Monica is too serious with the document sheet before her to listen to the two women's talks.
Kanna put her shoulders back to see Monica who was not following their conversation. “Let's ignore that less important thing,” he said, “and don't even try to heat up me again, Meyrin. I've decided to ignore that until the war is over, don't try to lure me like that.”
“I didn't do what you accuse me of, Your Majesty,” Meyrin said calmly— defended herself in style. “I only give opinions, nothing more. But let's just ignore it like you want. So, what are you going to decide? Are you going to fulfill his wish and position the 12th Division in the Favilifna Kingdom?”
Kanna shakes. “I've decided to leave that to Commander Hekiel. I'm gonna write him a warrant, and you're gonna deliver it to him tomorrow. The Favilifna Kingdom had their own soldiers; they had to take part in securing their own territory. Our priority is to thwart the Knights Templar from taking control of Ekralina Kingdom. Moreover, we also do not know who is behind the change in attitude of King Mortana.”
If it was the Holy Kingdom or the NWO, they would not need to be overly vigilant. No one would accept if it turned out that they were manipulated into antagonizing each other. That's the biggest insult to Islan.
...—Throne Room—...
Lilithia opened the large door of the palace throne room and stepped foot inside. The room was still as dark as when he first entered it. So too with the owner. His dull face was filled with burden, but it was hidden so well through the mask that it came unexcused. Nueva was by no means a bad person, in contrast to the figure of Edward standing beside her.
“What do you want until you call me here?” ask Lilithia without further ado. Nor does he show the attitude as someone should behave in front of the emperor. “And it doesn't matter that you stay there? I saw two of your wives rebuking each other, but not yet playing hands. You do anything? You should marry a strong woman; she can control your other wives so that they are not like chicks who have lost their mother.”
“Oh, you want to offer yourself?” nueva asked with a comforting smile on her lips, and the instant the emperor fell to the floor due to the gravity that Lilithia released— all the while shattered into pieces, the floor also looked cracked heavily.
“I'm not interested in an old man like you,” sis Lilithia, then she quickly glared at Edward who tried to open his mouth to lecture her. “Close your mouth, Edward. Your voice makes my ears deaf.”
Nueva laughs. Edward frowned. Lilithia grieves. It was a situation that definitely left the commanders confused if they saw it.
“Tell me what do you want?” lilithia said impatiently. “I have a busy life, unlike you.”
“I don't have enough patience to serve you, Nueva. Say what you want to say.”
Seeing Lilithia who was not interested in rambling with him, Nueva's expression was immediately serious. He folded the two and looked intensely at the commander.
“You work for me, in exchange I will revive your sister after getting the throne of the gods. It was our agreement, am I wrong?”
Lilithia shook her head. It was indeed a covenant between them: Lilithia was working for Nueva, Nueva was going to bring her sister to life. Lilithia asked Nueva to continue her speech.
“The initial plan, Edward who will catch Neira Claudian. However, this battle was happening faster than expected. I needed Edward to help prepare the ritual terrain and also a safe place to open the gates of hell. For that, I want you to catch him. I'll send Xavier and his division to attack Axellibra. With Xavier's strength, Fie had no choice but to face him head-on. Use that opportunity to bring Neira Claudian to me.”
“Do not worry about Xavier facing Fie alone,” Nueva continued before Lilithia had time to respond. “Kanna will help him. You just have to focus on defeating Neira Claudian and bringing her to me. There's nothing you should think about but that. Even if the empire is defeated though and many die, I will turn it all on like I will bring your sister to life. I will create a perfect world, a world without misery and death.”
...—The Centaur— Village Alliance...
Five black-robed individuals with green borderlines stepped out from the dimensional portal that appeared on the north side outside a village of centaurs. Krakart, Atland, Diametra, Lumeira, and Sataniciela. They were five out of ten members of Deus Chaperon. Tsusaza, Whalef, and Hireklaf will remain in Haikal Solomon. The loyal Vermyna and Valeria are at the main headquarters of the NWO military. Only five of them were assigned to this village.
The Centaur Village Alliance was the closest region to Emiliel Holy Kingdom. They have always been neutral, and will remain neutral in war. However, since they were still members of the New World Order, they were not impossible to be targeted by attacks. Moreover, his fifth placement here—especially Sataniciela—will give an unexpected attack to the Holy Kingdom.
“Krakart, Atland, you come with me. For a while you can stay at my house. Meanwhile, Kalietra will take you both to where you can stay. Wait here, Ciela, Lumeira.”
With how the Vermillion Empire and New World Order structured their forces, the “Invincible” words inherent in Emiliel Holy Kingdom are unlikely to survive. For the first time in history, “The Invincible Emiliel Holy Kingdom” will no longer be “The Invincible”.
Everything still depends on the battle that the sky has outlined: Vermyna Hellvarossa vs. Fie Axellibra. Whoever wins will rule over the Islans.
At least, that was how Emiliel the Holy Kingdom and the New World Order believed.
