Chapter 277: 15 year old Inglis and the Eastern Front (8)
「Yes! What good timing to show up! Lady Eris, Lady Ripple, let us talk with their commander! It is only right to work together and curb all these magic stone beasts!」1
「We should! Let’s go!」
「Okay! Let’s go there!」
Ripple pointed the bow of their flygear to the east, where the Venefian army appeared. And, when their group of three headed there, the Venefian army readied their long-range artifacts, and volleyed both fire and ice arrows.2
Their target was not the cloud of magic stone beasts, but rather the main troops of the Holy Knight Order who were busy dealing with the monsters. The troops were caught by surprise, and a number of their flygears were damaged, with the wreckage falling to the ground.3
「「「WHA……?!」」」
Raphael, Eris, and Ripple couldn’t believe their eyes at the sight. The Charalian forces rushed to intercept the enemy coming towards the Venefique, and yet the Venefian forces ignored the magic stone beasts altogether and attacked them instead… unbelievable.
Nevertheless, they had to believe it. The formation of the Holy Knight Order was disrupted, failing to intercept the magic stone beasts who took advantage of their disruption to close in on them.
Upon the disruption, the Holy Knight Order fell behind to respond, thus some of their flygears were sunk by the magic stone beasts. Having succeeded in their preemptive strike, the Venefian forces promptly zoomed in to face the Holy Knight Order.
