Vol 4 Prologue
Part 1
"Zetterlund Continent" ....
A name that is given to the land which Human and Demon beast reside on this planet.
The land was divided by the great high rugged mountains "Aubigne",
The west side of the continent is crowded with many countries created by the human race.
People who reside there are called the "Western Union"(Okus.h.i.+dentsu) compared against the only country on the eastern side of the continent,
The country which is the sword and s.h.i.+eld of the humanity "kingdom of Fremmevir" located near the great sea "Bocuse", the area of the beast.
In the foothills of Aubigne mountains, there lies "Raihiara School District", the city with the largest school facilities in the Fremmevir Kingdom is located here.
"Olvecius fort" *1 which became the base for the "silver phoenix knight order" is located very close by. Although it was referred to as a "fort", it is not really a facility that was for battle environments.
Therefore, almost all of its contents are "Workshop" facilities. The parking places by the sides of the facilities are wide enough to hold various groups of "Silhouette Knight".
The pure white knights lead the 1st squadron, The crimson knights lead the 2nd squadron, and the 3rd squadron is made out of centaur knights. This place has some of the most combat capabilities in Fremmevir kingdom.
The machine for knight leader is located in the deepest part of the giant knight group,
.....An "armor warrior" with 6 arms and 2 heart with total height of 10 meters approximately, it was a huge humanoid weapon "Silhouette Knight".
These knight of steel are made in order to fight magical beast, though it must move like a sophisticated statue, it was well ordered and filled with majesty.
But there was also,
Those who were moving around hurriedly on foot are another story.
The "Knight-Smith" group had been working to upgrade their Silhouette Knight, continue with their bustling work.
Such a blacksmith group, raise their voices and pa.s.sed instructions to the people around.
And then appeared a muscular physique, a respectable beard in rugged features,
It was a young dwarf.
[Good grief, nothing good out of the boy who self-indulges too much with Silhouette Knight.]
While complaining with a bitter smile, his arm grabs his shoulder and makes a "gokigoki" sound *2.
For a certain reason, The Silver phoenix knight order has unique Silhouette Knights which makes it the most advanced unit in Fremmevir kingdom.
Each one of them are powerful machine but there was a need for man power to maintain their ability and many upgrades.
Inevitably, this resulted in increased work load of the calvary's knight-smith group.
[MASTER!! About under-body part development of "Tzendrinble", It is complete! We re-made it with brand new Crystal Tissue.]
[The king hards.h.i.+p. It has been a "Long journey" anyhow. we have had to go all out on the under-body part of Tzendrinble in particular]
Received reports from his subordinates that came rus.h.i.+ng,
He.........
"David Hepuken" had a display of satisfaction.
He has the t.i.tle of Silver phoenix knight smith corps captain.
A long part of the relations.h.i.+p since he took over the nick name of school days that been call as "MASTER".
He was even familiar with it himself,
In fact, his position was nothing other than master of the smithy.
[Master-san. about upgrading and stowage of the silhouette knight, It is all finished.]
[Oh! Pigeon boy also worked hard. with this, the rough maintenance problems are finished.]
David looked at the young dwarven subordinate who had come.
He is "Batson Terumonen"
He is the unusual cavalry knight-smith who is more knowledgeable about Silhouette Gear than Silhouette Knights.
From then on, one after another, reports of completed maintenance arrive to the master.
From silhouette gear to silhouette knights,
Such as the large carriage truck drag Tzendrinble in addition,
The equipment that was owned by the Silver Phoenix Knight order really had a wide range of variety.
When combined with such scale, it's quite a big task to get accustomed with the simultaneous maintenance.
[The final preparation have been done, now with this guy in tow, it will probably be a bustling journey. You guys too, just hop in already!]
Master who displays a pleased smile just skips the manifesto, the blacksmith group respond back by swinging up their arms.
He also said the same thing to the group of the steel knights that stood behind, while being able s.h.i.+ne proudly somewhere.
Part 2 (Re-Edit from Darren Chaim suggestion)
On the other hand at that time,
Just what is the knight leader of silver phoenix knight order "Ernesti Echevarria" (Eru) doing?
He is not in Olvecius fort,
He was at home together with his childhood friend located at the street corner of Raihara school district.
[Umnn.... With me bring in this thing, the packing is almost done, right?]
Eru come from his room while holding armfuls of trunk case.
It can be see that both of his hands are holding enough to suffer,
Archid (Chid) was puzzled by that scenery.
[You can probably leave it at fort too, right? just how much you intend to bring.]
[Most of it are design notes of silhouette knight , tools for drawing and textbooks.]
[....Oh, yup, whatever, although I've feeling like this is going to end up as carefree journey.]
Even though it was their "Outing" now, Eru still going out with the usual tools as always , typical of Eru,
It can't be help that Chid felt a little amazed as expected.
[Oh dear, just wait a moment, Eru, you did not leave anything behind-ne? Is your silhouette knight working properly? ]
To the ground floor, (his mansion should be at least 2 level building.)
The mother who dashed out to follow Eru with pitter-patter sounds is Celestina Echevarria (Tina).
From such a scenery, their action are s.h.i.+fted swiftly to the point of the just look-alike mother and son.
Chid who stood nearby was goofing lightly.
[Yes, of course-desu! because it will have to be in a perfect condition, we asked them to run a firmly maintenance right now. it get carried along with everyone, we're plan to join them later-desu.]
[If that is the case then i can be relieve-ne. ...... Eru, this will made me feel lonely for a while , please take care yourself not to get hurt-ne. good luck on your job-ne.]
Tina lavishly embrace Eru softly while Eru nodded and hugged his mother strongly back too.
[Yes, It may be a little long journey, please take care yourself too-ne, dear mother. because I will bring you back a lots of "Souvenirs" after this, please look forward for my return.]
[Haha, a souvenir does not matter.....just working hard is good enough and come back safely.]
From behind Tina, the father, Mathias Echevarria appeared with a wry smile.
Whenever his son leisurely perpetrated occasionally ridiculous runaways, there was crisis that happened somewhere yet to be solve.
He may need more than the ability to get over it but the parent's worries do not care for that. (they care about Eru more than the crisis, that was i think.)
He patted Eru head roughly as Tina walked toward to the twins of brother and sister who are together with Eru.
[Ady-chan, Chid-kun too, be careful. both of you, please look after Eru-ne.]
[Yes, Tina-san! please leave your Eru to me. As leader a.s.sistant, I will work hard!]
(I guess everyone know whose line is this.)
[Although i think Eru will be okay no matter what happens, roger that ]
"Adeltrud Olter" said it devoutly while move her hand from her waist to her chest,
Chid shrugged his shoulder.
After all, these twins always run rampaged together with Eru when he runaway, it can be say that it is predictable.
Let us depart!
[Then, let us depart! First of all, let us all head toward to the imperial city, to meet up with the knight order there-ne!]
Eru who holding a trunk case finished the farewell greetings and started running vigorously.
The twins also running in addition.
The parents who send them off by look at the back of the kids who running cheerfully,
They continued looking all the way until the kids disappeared from their sight.
Part 3 (Re-Edit from Darren Chaim , Ogre Rou suggestion)
West calendar, Year 1281.
The times before early summer, the time with days of pleasant weather.
At the imperial city of Fremmevir kingdoms "Kankanen",
The man's figure was proceeding at through the royal castle "Shreiber" corridor.
The man with a large solid build stature is rus.h.i.+ng wildly.
The 2nd heir royal prince of Fremmevir kingdom, "Emurys Geijer Fremmevir"
Proceeding through the corridor, he kicked the door at the end of the path aggressively.
[Old man.....no, your majesty. I wish to go to "Kshyperuk kingdoms" (クシエペルカ) right now! Even without the pretext, you understand right?]
What lies ahead is the audience chamber with the king. the deepest, largest room, The king was already at the throne,
The king "Riothamus Harus Fremmevir ",
He was displaying a lamenting expression instead of the uncaring att.i.tude towards his son as it was the usual etiquette,
He raises the hand, mixed with feelings of resignation.
The people who stand around were surprised at being ordered to move out.
[....Good grief, I hear it coming. This idiot son of mine, your patience is unexpected short, although I already antic.i.p.ated this once your voice could be heard (or it may be his foot step).
Can you tell me why you suddenly want to go to Kshyperuk kingdoms?]
He was displaying a lamenting expression instead of the uncaring att.i.tude towards is son as was the usual etiquette,
Emurys had tears in his eyes while tightly clasping his fist. His actions befitted the appropriate person.
[That kind of thing, it's obvious! I don't how to say this, Father. Kshyperuk kingdoms is "our aunt's" (Martina) country, It is being invaded by other countries!!]
From the scene of the stressful 2nd prince who was clenching his fist,
King Riothamus grumbled with expression of resignation.
[Oh, because it precisely turned out to be what I thought, that's why I'm still not taking any action. Just where the h.e.l.l you hear this sensitive news from?...... however, Emurys, none of requests have been arriving from her country. A reason is needed for heading to the battlefields.]
[Reason? Such a thing is not needed! Our aunt is on verge of danger right now! It is naturally for us to go help them, That should be enough isn't? ]
Riothamus nodded quite naturally.
[I see, but to deploy military force. have you forgotten? Our country right now has limited numbers of silhouette knights. To keep the wide national border in check is what you need to do in order to protect the people, not head out to war in other countries.]
If only looking at just the wideness of the country,
Fremmevir kingdoms can be counted as a large country among the human nations.
The reason the country is being treated as a frontier nation, because its existence has infested with countless "Magical beast" all over the country.
In order to keep this country peaceful, it required many numbers of silhouette knights.
Before the undeniable fact, Emurys involuntarily closed his mouth, and frankly hated it,
He basically has a strong heart of chivalry.
To help his aunt, he will expose the danger to his people instead,
No one will forgive him for that.
That's why, he inevitably can't utter another word.
[Is that so? I'm got it..... Then, I will go to Kshyperuk kingdoms alone, It should be ok if only me goes there to help aunt!!]
Once again, he immediately made a obviously rebellious action,
Riothamus is holding his forehead.
A voice reached his son from behind.
(I'm believe that Emurys already turn his back on his fathers and on verge of leaving the audience chamber at this sentence being made.)
[Even if you go alone, just what the heck can one man can do? ]
[....I don't know! But, Aunt took care me for a long times, to do nothing while thing are continuing like this, there is no way I can do that!]
Riothamus narrowed his eye with an absolute calm appearance,
[Then what about your name, "Emurys Geijer Fremmevir"? To go to country during the war with a that name, do you know what it means? It's obvious that you should know that with out saying, right?]
He suddenly stopped walking as he struck by a lightning.
[Abo...about that...]
[Until now, There were no one stupid like that, right? Certainly, this is about my younger sister's country. But more than that, what will happens if my own son goes there? It will be treat as a "War declaration from Fremmevir kingdoms".]
[Even you said that...Hmm! that's it, Kshyperuk kingdoms is a country on the west side of Aubigne moutains. For them to be invading over there, the next target after that might be our Fremmevir kingdoms! If you lend them a force before that happens....]
[That might be possible. But even if that was the case, are you still going there just to cause a bothersome enemy? the actions of the king will effect the country. You, the one who will succeed the throne someday. Emurys. The choice you make will be the country's choice, That is the basis answer. Do you have resolve to involve the people of our country?]
Emurys falls into silence.
He can't say out even one word,
He squeezed his fist strongly enough to make his hand bleed at any moments,
His whole body is trembling.
He is about to say the whole of his feelings.
[So his majesty....father...., are you gonna forsake auntie....!?]
[Such a thing will not happen.]
Emurys' reaction was delayed as he was taken aback by the light tone that ignored the flow from before.
[I can't allow you to go there and act alone. In order to achieve significant results, there is a need for the competent force. although it unthinkable for us to deploy a large force, I wonder if relying on only knight order soldiers would be a good thing....]
When Emurys's mind listened to his fathers grave words,
A certain knight order's names just came to his mind.
There are many knight orders in Fremmevir kingdoms,
But there was only one of "knight orders" suitable in this task,
He almost involuntarily uttered it's name,
At that moments,
The king was being notified about "Their" arrival.
[Your Majesty, sorry for being late, a trio of the company of the "Silver Phonenix Knights order" are here to establish an expedition preparation, Sir!]
Ernesti who appeared among the audience while he has been pulling Ady & Chid in tow, he gets reverently on his knee.
This unusual event make Emurys dumbfound,
Riothamus is just nonchalantly laughing on the back of his throne.
[Dissatisfied? Emurys. Their power are very well known right? The recent dismissed of Land Emperor (Behemoth) and Armor Queen of Beast (Queen Sh.e.l.lcast, クイ-ンシェルケ-ス), They are the strongest knight order that save our country from perils again & again, right?]
While showing a discouraged expression, Emurys scratch his head.
[I'm well aware about that...... Hey dad, in order to not let the country get involved in this mess, the commencing from now on must be not know by anyone right?]
[Um, exactly, therefore Emurys, you must avoid using the name "Fremmevir kingdoms" as much as possible, behave like you have no relations.h.i.+p with our country, also not give a just cause to anyone.]
As being exorcised, he finally break his lifeless posture.
And regained his favored pushy & forceful stance where his brute force alone is enough to startle others.
[....Father, This is kind of, is it not the quibblesome matter?]
[Wrong. This is something which said by the winners only. what happens? Emurys, what is more important is push through till the end.]
Riothamus cleared his throat by pinching it and changes his his expressions into a serious one.
[Our country now is more important than anything. "After" this, critical times may be noisier or harder, the obstacles will happen. We need to do everything to overcome it even though it will bring just a little peace or thing may be get rough(issue escalation). Also, please take care my idiot sons, Silver Phoenix Knights order.]
[It is my pleasure, our silver phoenix knights order will protect the life of royalty at the best of it ability-gozaimasu]
On the side, Emurys had no idea what he should said but, it definitely become troublesome for sure,
He started walking with Zuka-zuka sound (SFX ズカズカ).
[Yosh, it does't not matter! it really encouraging to be accompany with you guys. let's go, Silver Phoenix Knights order!!]
Chasing his back who begin to walk from behind,
The Kings word reach him.
[The war between a fellow country, it better for you to see it with you own eyes. the next era from now on will drastically change. In order to face it, Our opponent will not limit only a magical beast anymore, right? .....and, go help Martina!, that all I ask out of you.]
Emurys slightly looking back and vigorously nodded.
*
The greatest un-penetrate city of Fremmevir kingdoms,
The imperial city Kankanen surrounded by rigid wall.
Kankanen west gate,
It large enough to be enter or leave by silhouette knights,
The silver phoenix knights are gathered there with their fully equipped armament.
And the core of the troops,
The 3th squadrons of silver phoenix knights are made with the centaur knights "Tzendrinble".
Behind the large back of Tzendrinble are connect with the huge carriage "Dray".
It display a high transportation capacity.
It is necessary capacity for a long distance march,
Which adjusted for sake of careful preparation.
On top of the wagon,
There are machine standing in knee stance.
Those silhouette knights was being treat as a luggage.
Most of it are the "Kardetolle", the state of the art formality ma.s.s production machine.
It was the main force of the 1st & 2nd squadrons.
Of course,
There are not bring only just a silhouette knights,
There also great number of normal horse-drawn carriage that was load with repair parts which also treat as silhouette knights consumption,
The whole of them were up to a considerable scale.
[This really look like a large family-ne]
[Then what about going to help the friendly countries, how does it sound?. Because we're going there to fight. In other words, a lot of necessary thing need to be done, right?]
The 3rd squadron captain "Helvi Olberg" looking around at the surrounding with admiration.
The one who answer her is the 1st squadron captain "Edgar C Blanche".
Up until now,
The silver phoenix knights orders which having both high mobility and powerful forces, having running around many times as they were requested to be around.
However, all of it was still within their country,
Up until now, there is still not enough reason to deploy them for support on-site with full force, this will be their first time for expedition, there will be a lot of thing that they could gain from this journey.
[I don't know what's happening over there, but to me it look like something big. well, the grand-master and the other 2 seem to be present. Let's go for boarding preparation to move out soon.]
At that place, the 2nd squadron captain "Dietrich Cunitch" appeared.
He talked the 2 people and, his voice echoed around the and multiplied at group members.
The group members who had been care freely standing around until then begin to quickly move to their positions.
At the castle gate exist, Emurys who brought Eru with him appeared.
Looking at the fully equipped silver phoenix knights order,
He remember "The calamity of the sh.e.l.l beast" incident that was said to be the worst in recent years,
If the silver phoenix knights order did not show up to prevent the incidents.
It surely.............. while he is sinking in his thinking process,
He already arrived at the exceptionally big carriage at the front row of the knights.
On the top of that special carriage which was towed with 2 Tzendrinble horse,
A silhouette knight that flashy reflected the s.h.i.+ny golden color bright as the light of day has been placed on it.
[....Yo "The gold lion"(Gordesleo). For auntie sake, you will display your full force when the times come, you know?]
Slip through beside of Emurys who looked up at the gold lion with deep motion, Eru look back behind the knights.
Without realizing, the line of sight of all members in that place are gathered on him.
[His royal highness. we await your command.]
[.....Yosh,Yo-Silver phoenix knights order! Our group will proceed for the sake to helping auntie. also to stop the war, we 're going to kick the a.s.s of the stupid country that caused incident!!]
From the description which is too rough in various ways, the group members collapse their posture as it is extremely disappointing to see.
Without care, Emurys clenches his fist, and continue.
[Our opponent this times is not a beast! Our ordeal may be difficult. But with the power of me and you guys, I believe that it will be achievable!!]
[Yesss sirr. Everyone, let's enthusiastically partic.i.p.ate in "War", shall we?]
As if he had a screw loose, Eru who floated a happy smile with pleasure made a conclusion with ferocious words.
The group members roar,
The silhouette knights made a high-pitch aspirate intake & exhaust sound.
Thus, the silver phoenix knights order started moving to the midst of the raging storm in the west land.
It was the 1st times for Fremmevir kingdoms establish an expedition to the west.
Through all East and West, this year will be a history about large movement in Zetterlund Continent.
The time of the beginning has come.

The reason the country is being treated as a frontier nation, because its existence has infested with countless "Magical beast" all over the country.
In order to keep this country peaceful, it required many numbers of silhouette knights.
Before the undeniable fact, Emurys involuntarily closed his mouth, and frankly hated it,
He basically has a strong heart of chivalry.
To help his aunt, he will expose the danger to his people instead,
No one will forgive him for that.
That's why, he inevitably can't utter another word.
[Is that so? I'm got it..... Then, I will go to Kshyperuk kingdoms alone, It should be ok if only me goes there to help aunt!!]
Once again, he immediately made a obviously rebellious action,
Riothamus is holding his forehead.
A voice reached his son from behind.
(I'm believe that Emurys already turn his back on his fathers and on verge of leaving the audience chamber at this sentence being made.)
[Even if you go alone, just what the heck can one man can do? ]
[....I don't know! But, Aunt took care me for a long times, to do nothing while thing are continuing like this, there is no way I can do that!]
Riothamus narrowed his eye with an absolute calm appearance,
[Then what about your name, "Emurys Geijer Fremmevir"? To go to country during the war with a that name, do you know what it means? It's obvious that you should know that with out saying, right?]
He suddenly stopped walking as he struck by a lightning.
[Abo...about that...]
[Until now, There were no one stupid like that, right? Certainly, this is about my younger sister's country. But more than that, what will happens if my own son goes there? It will be treat as a "War declaration from Fremmevir kingdoms".]
[Even you said that...Hmm! that's it, Kshyperuk kingdoms is a country on the west side of Aubigne moutains. For them to be invading over there, the next target after that might be our Fremmevir kingdoms! If you lend them a force before that happens....]
[That might be possible. But even if that was the case, are you still going there just to cause a bothersome enemy? the actions of the king will effect the country. You, the one who will succeed the throne someday. Emurys. The choice you make will be the country's choice, That is the basis answer. Do you have resolve to involve the people of our country?]
Emurys falls into silence.
He can't say out even one word,
He squeezed his fist strongly enough to make his hand bleed at any moments,
His whole body is trembling.
He is about to say the whole of his feelings.
[So his majesty....father...., are you gonna forsake auntie....!?]
[Such a thing will not happen.]
Emurys' reaction was delayed as he was taken aback by the light tone that ignored the flow from before.
[I can't allow you to go there and act alone. In order to achieve significant results, there is a need for the competent force. although it unthinkable for us to deploy a large force, I wonder if relying on only knight order soldiers would be a good thing....]
When Emurys's mind listened to his fathers grave words,
A certain knight order's names just came to his mind.
There are many knight orders in Fremmevir kingdoms,
But there was only one of "knight orders" suitable in this task,
He almost involuntarily uttered it's name,
At that moments,
The king was being notified about "Their" arrival.
[Your Majesty, sorry for being late, a trio of the company of the "Silver Phonenix Knights order" are here to establish an expedition preparation, Sir!]
Ernesti who appeared among the audience while he has been pulling Ady & Chid in tow, he gets reverently on his knee.
This unusual event make Emurys dumbfound,
Riothamus is just nonchalantly laughing on the back of his throne.
[Dissatisfied? Emurys. Their power are very well known right? The recent dismissed of Land Emperor (Behemoth) and Armor Queen of Beast (Queen Sh.e.l.lcast, クイ-ンシェルケ-ス), They are the strongest knight order that save our country from perils again & again, right?]
While showing a discouraged expression, Emurys scratch his head.
[I'm well aware about that...... Hey dad, in order to not let the country get involved in this mess, the commencing from now on must be not know by anyone right?]
[Um, exactly, therefore Emurys, you must avoid using the name "Fremmevir kingdoms" as much as possible, behave like you have no relations.h.i.+p with our country, also not give a just cause to anyone.]
As being exorcised, he finally break his lifeless posture.
And regained his favored pushy & forceful stance where his brute force alone is enough to startle others.
[....Father, This is kind of, is it not the quibblesome matter?]
[Wrong. This is something which said by the winners only. what happens? Emurys, what is more important is push through till the end.]
Riothamus cleared his throat by pinching it and changes his his expressions into a serious one.
[Our country now is more important than anything. "After" this, critical times may be noisier or harder, the obstacles will happen. We need to do everything to overcome it even though it will bring just a little peace or thing may be get rough(issue escalation). Also, please take care my idiot sons, Silver Phoenix Knights order.]
[It is my pleasure, our silver phoenix knights order will protect the life of royalty at the best of it ability-gozaimasu]
On the side, Emurys had no idea what he should said but, it definitely become troublesome for sure,
He started walking with Zuka-zuka sound (SFX ズカズカ).
[Yosh, it does't not matter! it really encouraging to be accompany with you guys. let's go, Silver Phoenix Knights order!!]
Chasing his back who begin to walk from behind,
The Kings word reach him.
[The war between a fellow country, it better for you to see it with you own eyes. the next era from now on will drastically change. In order to face it, Our opponent will not limit only a magical beast anymore, right? .....and, go help Martina!, that all I ask out of you.]
Emurys slightly looking back and vigorously nodded.

The greatest un-penetrate city of Fremmevir kingdoms,
The imperial city Kankanen surrounded by rigid wall.
Kankanen west gate,
It large enough to be enter or leave by silhouette knights,
The silver phoenix knights are gathered there with their fully equipped armament.
And the core of the troops,
The 3th squadrons of silver phoenix knights are made with the centaur knights "Tzendrinble".
Behind the large back of Tzendrinble are connect with the huge carriage "Dray".

The whole of them were up to a considerable scale.
[This really look like a large family-ne]
[Then what about going to help the friendly countries, how does it sound?. Because we're going there to fight. In other words, a lot of necessary thing need to be done, right?]
The 3rd squadron captain "Helvi Olberg" looking around at the surrounding with admiration.
The one who answer her is the 1st squadron captain "Edgar C Blanche".
Up until now,
The silver phoenix knights orders which having both high mobility and powerful forces, having running around many times as they were requested to be around.
However, all of it was still within their country,
Up until now, there is still not enough reason to deploy them for support on-site with full force, this will be their first time for expedition, there will be a lot of thing that they could gain from this journey.
[I don't know what's happening over there, but to me it look like something big. well, the grand-master and the other 2 seem to be present. Let's go for boarding preparation to move out soon.]
At that place, the 2nd squadron captain "Dietrich Cunitch" appeared.
He talked the 2 people and, his voice echoed around the and multiplied at group members.
The group members who had been care freely standing around until then begin to quickly move to their positions.
At the castle gate exist, Emurys who brought Eru with him appeared.
Looking at the fully equipped silver phoenix knights order,
He remember "The calamity of the sh.e.l.l beast" incident that was said to be the worst in recent years,
If the silver phoenix knights order did not show up to prevent the incidents.
It surely.............. while he is sinking in his thinking process,
He already arrived at the exceptionally big carriage at the front row of the knights.
On the top of that special carriage which was towed with 2 Tzendrinble horse,
A silhouette knight that flashy reflected the s.h.i.+ny golden color bright as the light of day has been placed on it.
[....Yo "The gold lion"(Gordesleo). For auntie sake, you will display your full force when the times come, you know?]
Slip through beside of Emurys who looked up at the gold lion with deep motion, Eru look back behind the knights.
Without realizing, the line of sight of all members in that place are gathered on him.
[His royal highness. we await your command.]
[.....Yosh,Yo-Silver phoenix knights order! Our group will proceed for the sake to helping auntie. also to stop the war, we 're going to kick the a.s.s of the stupid country that caused incident!!]
From the description which is too rough in various ways, the group members collapse their posture as it is extremely disappointing to see.
Without care, Emurys clenches his fist, and continue.
[Our opponent this times is not a beast! Our ordeal may be difficult. But with the power of me and you guys, I believe that it will be achievable!!]
[Yesss sirr. Everyone, let's enthusiastically partic.i.p.ate in "War", shall we?]
As if he had a screw loose, Eru who floated a happy smile with pleasure made a conclusion with ferocious words.
The group members roar,
The silhouette knights made a high-pitch aspirate intake & exhaust sound.
Thus, the silver phoenix knights order started moving to the midst of the raging storm in the west land.
It was the 1st times for Fremmevir kingdoms establish an expedition to the west.
Through all East and West, this year will be a history about large movement in Zetterlund Continent.
The time of the beginning has come.
