C481: Hardball / Jean

Happy New Year!!!

The leader of the masked group that attacked us was reluctant to talk, but when Sword Saint asked him nicely, he gradually gave us more information.

From the information provided by the leader, it was clear that the government was involved in this attack. Furthermore, I learned that if this raid failed, the government would resort to a more aggressive strategy.

“I see. That’s how much they understand that they are trapped.”

“What are we going to do? We could go back to Musashi and prepare for their attack.”

“I’d prefer to avoid a showy battle, but we might have to show…..Bouddarga where we stand now.”

Even if we were to engage in battle with the Republic of Dhahran here, it would be possible to use the information Kiyone and her team is gathering to persuade the other allied nations to proceed. Then we may be able to show them our power and advance the negotiations in our favor.

“Then we’d better get back to Musashi as soon as possible. Someone was watching us from distance and they probably knew that the attack failed.”

Mastery is a terrible thing. It seems that even during that battle, the Sword Saint was exploring the surroundings.

They were prepared for this attack to fail so it’s not surprising if they attack us again immediately so I and Sword Saint rushed to Musashi.

The other side moved faster than expected. Musashi was already surrounded by countless magicrafts and was about to be attacked.

“What a nuisance. It’s going to be hard to get back to Musashi.”

I said, but the Sword Saint lightly denied it.

“The encirclement is not enough, and it is easy to get through there.”

The encirclement was so tightly packed that it was hard to believe that it was that way, but it seemed that Sword Saint was serious. When I was stunned, he made this suggestion.

“Jean, you stay here and I’ll go back to Musashi first and make it easier for you to get home with Excalibur.”

“Please, I don’t think I can keep up with you…….”

The Sword Saint headed for Musashi with light steps.

However, while the Sword Saint was on his way to Musashi, the encircling Dhahran forces began to move and launched an attack on Musashi while Emitz and the others immediately counterattacked to defend themselves.

The approaching magicrafts are attacked by an iron shell anti-magicraft gun, a new piece of equipment newly added to Musashi for close-range defense.

The iron shell anti-magicraft gun is a weapon that creates a magical explosion in a sealed space and ejects a solid mass of madine iron, capable of firing as many as 30 rounds in one second. The force of the hard iron bullets striking at high speed is considerable, and even S-class armored magicrafts cannot survive.

Countless bullets were fired from the iron shell anti-magicraft gun mercilessly turning enemy magicrafts into beehives.

With considerable force, the enemy was already unable to get close to Musashi. However, I was conversely concerned about the safety of the Sword Saint who was trying to return to Musashi, but to my surprise, he read the movements of the enemy’s magicrafts and took the best route to reach Musashi without any difficulty.
