Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Intelligence offensive is a very common method in modern warfare, and not just in modern warfare, there have been such cases a long time ago.

For example, slandering the object of faith of a hostile country as a devil, or after conquering a country's capital, spreading the news of the capital's fall to some cities that are still resisting... Although doing so will not cause physical damage, it can cause a great blow to the people's confidence.

"The one just now was the 63rd airstrike...According to statistics, half of the countries in the Alliance and the Allied Powers have been attacked."

Kurogane Suzuku, who was sitting next to Kurogane Ikki, looked down at the student handbook and said, "Among the remaining intact countries... Japan is the most powerful. It's probably only a matter of time before it's targeted for attack."

After all, they have experienced more than sixty air raids, and the Alliance and the allied teams have figured out some of the air raid patterns of the Crainshid - although the locations of the air raids are spread all over the world, if it is the Alliance this time, it will definitely be the Alliance next time, and the next time it will be the Alliance again.

It might be accidental once or twice, but if it is arranged like this for more than sixty times in a row, it must be done on purpose.

In addition, the countries that were attacked were almost all countries with a certain level of national strength. Among them, a large country like the United States, which has a large land area and a very strong national strength, has suffered several air strikes. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the Kreinsheed made a certain degree of screening in the targets of attack.

Some small countries, on the other hand, have remained quite safe so far.

(Zig-san...what do you want to do?)

Even though he thought he had fully understood Sieg's thinking logic, Ikki Kurogane could not guess the reason and purpose for Sieg's actions this time.

At this moment——

"Kurotetsu-san, and Shizuku-san, both of you are here."

Dongtang Daohua's voice suddenly came from not far away, and after coming to the two people, Dongtang Daohua said something that made the two of them stunned for a moment: "Just now, the Japanese branch sent an emergency call-up order - the three of us were designated to go to the branch to participate in the discussion of the [shootdown plan] that is about to be implemented."

"Eh?"

The sudden decision left Ikki Kurogane and Jushizuku Kurogane stunned.

————————————————————————————

Emergency call-up.

This is a system that is quite important within the alliance. After all, not every student who graduates from the Knight Academy will become a regular soldier or join the domestic alliance.

After graduation, most students will go to work in general companies with their official knight qualifications. In order to allow them to be used in emergencies, the emergency conscription system was created. Not only graduates, but even students in school will sometimes receive conscription.

For example, Dongtang Daohua has been urgently summoned several times.

Now is a war time. Even though Japan has not yet been drawn into the war, it will not be shelved for too long, so it is reasonable to adopt emergency conscription.

only--

After arriving at a meeting room of the branch with Touhua Toudou in a vehicle prepared by the Japanese branch, Ikki Kurogane couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the people sitting in the meeting room.

"Hey? You are the Uncrowned Sword King, right? This is the first time we meet!"

Last year's champion of the Seven Stars Sword Festival, [Seven Star Sword King] Yudai Moroboshi, was the first to greet Ikki Kurogane: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you are the only ones left."

"Senior Moroboshi, you are here to participate as well..."

"Yes, your father called him over from home. And your eldest brother is here too. He said he has severed ties with the family, but he is actually quite obedient."

Moroboshi Yudai pointed at the black iron horse sitting not far away.

And Kurogane Ouma cast a somewhat unhappy look at him: "Shut up, Moroboshi. I just want to find the flame beast again."

"Hey, who isn't?"

"Alright, alright! Now that everyone is here, it's almost time to start the meeting."

At the front of the conference room, Xijing Ningyin patted the conference table with the fan in her hand and drew all the attention to herself: "Although I have said it in the previous communication, the reason why I summoned you students here this time is to knock down the oversized iron lump that flies over at any time."

Shoot down the Crimsheed.

This is the purpose of this emergency call for students.

"As a teacher, I am very reluctant to bring you little brats to the battlefield, but under the current circumstances, I really cannot complete the plan without your help. In addition, the alliance leaders have also issued a death order... Therefore, everyone in this room, whether you are willing or not, will be sent to the battlefield as soldiers after this meeting."

"We have already made such preparations, Mr. Xijing."

Dongtang Daohua watched intently.

"Please tell us what to do. As long as we can stop Sieg's behavior, we are willing to do everything we can."

"It's a good thing that you have this intention. But before that, let's let the culprit, in a sense, come out and explain the whole thing - Xiao Hei! Haven't you brought the person here yet?"

"What are you urging?"

As soon as Xijing Ningyin finished speaking, Shinguji Kurono's figure suddenly appeared in the room, and it seemed that she had just exited the [Time Acceleration] state.

And beside her——

"Hello students, I am the Prime Minister of Japan, Yueying Moya."

"Before we begin discussing the details of the shoot-down plan, I think I should tell you brave young men something you have the right to know."

130. This is a battle to save the world

The description of the Moon Shadow Teeth did not last long.

After he showed the [Broken Future] which was supposed to be shown only to a very small number of people, and explained the purpose of his previous actions, the less than ten people in the meeting room all fell into a long silence.

"That is to say..."

The first to recover from the truth revealed by Moon Shadow Membrane, Kurogane Ikki said solemnly: "You originally wanted to use Sieg's power to urge Japan to join the alliance to avoid the future, right?"

"Yes. But unfortunately, in this situation, everything I have done has become useless."

Moon Shadow Fang showed a bitter expression: "Even though Sieg-san became the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Festival as a student of Akatsuki Academy, now that he has taken the initiative to provoke a war, all my preparations have been wasted. And the reason why I tell you these things is because in my opinion, the reason why Sieg-san provoked the war may be to save the country from another direction from the future I showed."

"He has expressed similar intentions before, and now he is finally putting them into practice."

(Same as when you helped me.)

Ikki Kurogane remembered the flame beast riot last year.

At that time, Sieg completely ignored his wishes and stood up for him in his own way, winning him a year of peace. Thanks to this, apart from a bad reputation, Kurogane Ikki's life in Pojun Academy was basically problem-free.

It’s the same now, right?

Sieg started the war because he could not accept Moon Shadow Mona's move which was tantamount to surrender to the Allies.

"He really is a reckless guy." Zhu Xingxiong laughed, "From a personality perspective, I still like him very much. After all, there are very few people as straightforward as him nowadays. If it weren't for his identity, I really want to make friends with him."

"Yes, if you make friends with Sieg, you will definitely not suffer any loss." Dongtang Daohua also smiled slightly, and then said seriously, "But precisely because we are his friends, we should stop him now - no matter what he wants to do, we must stop him before he destroys the whole world."

"Just like Daohua said, at least we have figured out that guy's motive now. But even so, considering the overall situation, the [shootdown plan] is necessary."

Shinguji Kurono clapped his hands and said, "First, let me explain the content of the plan itself. According to the analysis of the Alliance Headquarters, the spacecraft will descend to a distance of about 900 kilometers from the ground every time it launches an air strike. The headquarters speculates that this distance should be the maximum range of that kind of light weapon."

"And in order to carry out an air strike, the ship must stay in the air for one minute. That is the execution time of the [shootdown plan]."

In just one minute, the spacecraft was shot down.

Moroboshi Yudai was the first to raise a question: "Is this really possible? And shooting it down... do we really have weapons that can reach that height now?"

"Indeed, there isn't one. Even if there is, they will probably be on guard. What we need to do is to pull that spaceship to where we can reach it and extend the [one minute] as long as possible. And the most critical person is Ning Yin."

Shinguji Kurono looked at Saikyo Ningyin.

After she said this, everyone present understood the intention of this plan.

"Could it be... that you want Mr. Xijing to use gravity to pull that ship down?!"

Xijing Ningyin's gravity magic is enough to affect the space junk floating near the earth. It is only 900 kilometers away, which is completely within the range of her supernatural power.

But the problem is-

"Pulling it down doesn't mean we can shoot it down, right?" Dongtang Daohua asked, "After all, it's a spaceship that can travel in space. I don't think that spaceship would be without any defensive measures."

"That's what I mean~~~"

Xijing Ningyin sighed helplessly: "The guys at the headquarters have analyzed a little information from each air raid so far, and pieced together a general situation - there is a very strong magic barrier around the ship, and the defense is so strong that even if it directly withstands our [Badao Tianxing], it will not be affected at all."

Domineering star.

That's a forbidden move that can be used to launch a strike on a national scale. Even that move can't have an effect on that spaceship?

"Is that so... That's why you called me over?"

Moroboshi Yudai suddenly reacted with understanding: "Are you planning to let me deal with that magic barrier?"

"Yes, use your [Tiger Bite]."

——【Tiger Bite】

The sword-cutting skill that Yudai Moroboshi is proud of is different from those fancy superpowers. Yudai Moroboshi's superpower can almost be called the nemesis of sword-cutters - his superpower is [Devouring Magic Power].

Any magic power that is hit by his inherent spiritual equipment will be swallowed up and shattered without exception.

"After Ningyin pulls the ship down from the sky, it will be your turn, Moroboshi. You need to use your special skills to tear a hole in the ship's protective barrier. It doesn't need to be too big, just enough for humans to pass through."

"After that, our remaining personnel and the support provided by the Alliance Headquarters will break into the ship and carry out the operation to destroy it."

Shinguji Kurono looked at the others, "Not just the people present here, but the top players in the A-class league, high-level sword cutters from various countries, and the powerful ones on the alliance side - while Nin is doing her best to suppress that ship, and Moroboshi is clearing a path for us, we need to run right into that ship and destroy it once and for all."

Although it sounds simple, everyone can understand that this will undoubtedly be an extremely difficult battle.

After all, it is extremely difficult to shoot down such a large spaceship, not to mention that there is a mysterious man on the ship who can destroy the entire United States fleet alone, as well as Sieg, an extraordinary individual with an immortal body.

Even if there are other combat capabilities on the ship besides these two people, it would not be surprising.

"I will not make any promises to you here. This operation is undoubtedly a one-way operation with a high probability of no return."

"But if we remain silent and passively endure, everything on this planet will be destroyed by that spaceship. In order to protect our planet, we must fight against it."

Shinguji Kurono stared at the people present.

"The operation is scheduled for three days from now. More details will be announced later. When the first airstrike begins three days later, that's when we will launch our counterattack."

"Before that, everyone must adjust themselves to the best condition."

“This is our fight [to save the world].”

131. The only alien in the world

After the meeting.

Because the plan had to be implemented, all the students who were urgently recruited were temporarily kept in the Japanese branch. Although the plan itself was simple, various preparations were extremely important. Therefore, in order to prevent information leakage, all members who knew the plan were not allowed to leave the Japanese branch before the plan started.

After all, the opponent is an alien civilization that can control the world's communication network anytime and anywhere. Careless use of the network will only result in the loss of one's own information.

A few hours after the meeting, as night fell, in the gym inside the Japanese branch building, which was used for employees to rest and exercise -

“Hu~~~Hu~~~Hu~~~~”

Ikki Kurogane is doing long-distance running exercises on the treadmill.

His role in this mission was simple. He just had to wait until Admiral Moroboshi broke through the magic barrier, then rush onto the Crainhild with the main force and destroy it as much as possible.

According to Shinguji Kurono, the reason why he, an F-class knight, was specially summoned this time was because of her recommendation. After all, those who were urgently recruited must be powerful swordsmen, in other words, high-level and practical swordsmen. Although Ikki Kurogane was one of the top eight in the Seven Stars Sword Festival, he was only F-class. If it weren't for the joint recommendation of Shinguji Kurono and Saikyo Ningyin, he would not have been recruited.

“Hu~~~Hu….”

After completing today's 20-kilometer long-distance running exercise, Ikki Kurogane got off the treadmill. Just as he was about to take his water bottle to drink water, a can of drink was suddenly thrown at him.

Reaching out to catch it steadily, Kurogane Ikki looked at the person who threw the drink to him: "Senior Toudou?"

"I looked for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to be here exercising at this time." Dongtang Daohua said, "Excessive exercise is not good."

"But this is the only way to get close to the realm you are in."

Kurogane Ikki smiled and said, "I have neither extraordinary magic nor outstanding supernatural powers. I can only rely on swordsmanship and this body. If I don't train well, I won't be able to help in the next battle. In fact, I don't think I am your opponent."

"You are too modest, Kurogane-san. This is what I wanted to say."

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Toudou Touka believes that he is definitely no match for Kurogane Ikki. The reason why he is in the top eight is only because his opponent is too strong. If he changes his opponent, he will at least be in the top four.

"Forget it, the Seven Star Sword Martial Festival is over, and there's no point in the two of us continuing to talk about this kind of thing here - can you chat for a while?"

"Is it about Sieg-san?"

Ikki Kurogane guessed the purpose of Toudou Touka's visit.

There was not much interaction between him and her. At least he could not think of any other reason why Dongtang Daohua would come to see him alone at eight or nine in the evening - except for something related to Sieg.

Sitting down on the chair, Dongtang Daohua nodded slightly: "After all, apart from us, no one dares to say that they fully understand Mr. Qige. After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation of the cause of this war, the doubts in my heart for some time have been somewhat resolved, so I want to come to you to confirm it."
