"What is it! Why are the Empire and the Federation slaughtering each other? The Empire and the Federation already occupy most of this Magical World's territory. Their leaders have fame and wealth. What more do they want?" Yoshino asked anxiously. She didn't understand what this war was for. She only remembered the names of some characters in this world now, but some historical events seemed to be sealed away for some reason, and she couldn't figure them out at all.
"To destroy the entire Magical World!" Kato casually stated the Empire's objective, as if he were talking about what to eat for dinner, completely at ease.
"Don't say such an important thing in such a normal tone!!!!" Shiina instantly shouted. Both the Empire's objective and your bland expression are too worthy of complaint. What are you thinking? Can't you at least show some tension? If this is true, it's a danger of world destruction!
"So their goal is to destroy the entire inner world, then," Shiina asked first. "What good would destroying the world do them?"
"I don't know, but from the results of our Junior Detective League's investigation during this period, the outcome is indeed like this. As for what good it does? Sorry, I haven't investigated that yet," Kato said to Yoshino after lighting another cigarette and taking a deep drag.
"Then what news do you have? What kind of thing are they planning to use to destroy the world? You know, the world can't just be destroyed. If they wanted to destroy the world, they would have done it long ago. They must need to borrow the power of something to achieve it," Al asked. No one's ability could be powerful enough to destroy the world; there must be some plan.
"It hasn't been investigated yet, but it should be accomplished through super-large magic or spells. However, emitting such power requires some special thing to achieve, and the Empire's current invasion might be to find this thing," Ryuudou answered this time, stroking his still smooth chin.
"Well, I think all we can do now is take it one step at a time, since we don't know the Empire's specific plan," Kato said helplessly after thinking for a long time.
"No, we can still figure out some things. I feel the Empire's target this time might be here," Yoshino said, pointing to a spot on the map after careful consideration, realizing a crucial issue. If they thought clearly about the reason for the Great Bridge, the Empire would definitely do this!
"I remember this place seems to be… that giant fortress, the Great Bridge, which is three hundred kilometers long. How is that possible? You know, this is the central area of the Allied Forces. Not to mention that the Federation has heavily guarded it, even if the Empire wanted to attack here, their forces couldn't just…," Al, who was refuting Yoshino's point, suddenly thought of something, his words stopping, his eyes filled with disbelief. Because he also thought of a possibility; the Empire could indeed capture this place through this method.
"Yes! Al, you're right! The fall of the Great Bridge was due to the Empire using large-scale transfer magic in actual combat. If they use this magic here, then they are completely confident in capturing this place. Don't forget that the Federation sent out a large number of troops to resist the Imperial army in other places. I'm afraid there aren't many troops stationed here now," Yoshino said with a serious tone. If this really happens, then the Imperial army will have outmaneuvered the Federation, and the Federation will become a flickering candle in the wind.
"No! This absolutely cannot happen! Let's go, everyone. Even if we don't know if this is true, we must go there just in case. To end this war, this place must not be captured!" Nagi said, picking up the magic circle next to him. He was completely out of the mood for drinking now. With his trust in his partners, he decided they had to go there and see for themselves.
"Oh? It takes many days to get from here to the Great Bridge. Going now, things might already be too late; it might have already been occupied," Al said calmly, picking up his book. He now fully believed that Yoshino's earlier speculation was correct; the other side was completely capable of doing this for victory.
"So what? I think if we travel at full speed, we can shorten a lot of time. Let's go now. You guys help collect intelligence about the Empire. You are now members of the Red Wings, let us know your names," Nagi said to Kato and the others.
"Kato Kagura Wardbag. This is my disciple, Ryuudou Takahata T. Ryuudou," Kato said to Nagi. Although the situation was a bit different from what he imagined, he ultimately succeeded in joining the Red Wings.
"Understood. We need to rush to the Great Bridge now. We're counting on you for news of the enemy," Nagi said seriously.
"Understood, leave it to us. Ryuudou, let's go, we're off," he said, then left the hotel with Ryuudou. He had no doubts about the strength of the Red Wings.
"Then it's our turn now. Although I apologize for bringing this up during the banquet, we must rush to the Great Bridge now! We're setting off now!" Nagi said loudly.
"Oh!?" *5 Everyone responded loudly.
"But I want Yoshino to lead the way for us, otherwise it might take a few more days to arrive," Al suddenly said at this moment, almost making Nagi fall to the ground.
"Nonsense!!?"
