Maglad: /* Chapter 15 - To Save Is To Kill */

===Chapter 15 - To Save Is To Kill===

For centuries, southern mages have mocked the Hyperborean's Runic Magic as obsolete compared to Aura Magic.

Runic Magic had its advantages, sure. It allowed for the storage of ether from pre-cast spells through the use of runestones. Many rocks mineral crystal lattices had a low ether diffusion rate, making it possible to maintain hoards of prepared spells. This allowed anyone who knew the trigger conditions to activate Runic Magic in bulk -- an absolute quantitative advantage which the Hyperboreans exploited at every opportunity.

However, Runic Magic's inability to spontaneously cast and its need for a physical carrier drastically limited its use. For example, there was simply no northern equivalent of the ''Ether Seeker'' multipurpose counterspell, nor could Hyperboreans weave layered defensive wards at different distances. Their inability to apply both defensive and antimagic spells at the same time without the opposing magical interference always left them vulnerable to Weichsel's superbly coordinated volleys.

But the manipulation of ether was as much a science as alchemy or metallurgy. Runic Magic would evolve with time just like any other technology in demand.

Hyperborean mages on the Frontier had recently developed the newest form of Runic Magic: spell runes which were limited by neither their location nor contact activation. These new runes had rudimentary awareness of their surroundings. They could move freely across any two-dimensional surface. They could even work in groups and follow complex instructions, such as "band together and discharge in a coordinated volley against hostile attacks."

In essence, they were self-operated, ''automated'' spells that no longer required a human operator.

The proud Hyperborean mages of the newest generation called them "Living Runes".

The deafening thunder from the other side of Skywhale Polarlys left a buzz in Asgeirr Vintersvend's ears. But he paid it no mind as his cool Admiral Winter facade finally cracked open a broad, vengeful smirk:

"Where is your Holy Father now?"

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

"KAYETEN! I NEED A VOLLEY!"

Reynald accompanied his shout with a ''Telepathy'' burst. He doubted Kayeten could hear any better than his own ringing ears, and the recent magical discharge would surely distort his ungrounded telepathy. But even one syllable getting through might catch the Lieutenant's attention.

Surely enough, those faded-green eyes turned towards him with a confused look.

Reynald followed it with set of hand signals in glowing red: single raised finger, then extended palm, then two fingers pointing at the skywhale von Hammerstein and Ariadne charged towards.

It was a painstaking way of relaying a simple message, but it was also necessary. Communications were the lifeblood of any military unit. Without coordination, even the best of effort would fall apart like sand.

The extremely bland-looking Lieutenant replied with a single nod, before raising his glove and chanting the opening to his spell.

He always began with ''Phalanx'' -- the key word of a spellstorm mage.

Dozens upon dozens of emerald lights sprang into existence, surrounding the Lieutenant like a glittering shroud. It was a humbling display of magic prowess that always left Reynald wondering how someone his own age could empower ''that many'' shots at once. But for now, he was just glad to have the charging spell barrage on his side.

Reynald then waved his light lance to gather the attention of his squad before pointing it at the Colonel's flag ahead.

The doomed charge of the 1st Platoon had left them no more than two hundred paces away from the skywhale. The fireball that consumed dozens wasn't just intimidating, but also provided 'cover' for the unit to move even closer. Furthermore, the defenders would take time to prepare another attack like that.

Most commanders -- Reynald himself included -- would have been too stunned by their own losses. But von Hammerstein? His courage not only rallied the wills of his men, but also exploited an opportunity brought in blood and lives.

''One day, I'll be able to lead just like him,'' Reynald thought. ''But for now...''

"FOLLOW ME! CHARGE!"

It didn't matter that his squadmates were probably all deaf at the moment.

Correct protocols were simply too important to forgo at times like these.

Reynald watched through admiring eyes as Colonel von Hammerstein rushed through three more lightning bolts and a volley of arrows, which brought a screeching death to his gryphon mount. The commander leaped off just before his ride crashed into the skywhale's back, then broke his own fall by driving his swordstaff blade into the chest of a Northmen officer.

At that same moment, over a hundred rays from Kayeten and his 3rd Platoon raced in from behind. They rained onto the area surrounding the Colonel's landing, leaving him the lone visible figure in a sea of explosive mayhem.

Damage from a scattered elemental barrage was minimal against warded troops. The true purpose had been to suppress foes and buy time. Nevertheless Reynald knew that the inspiring image had just been engraved into his memory, especially when von Hammerstein somehow speared the flagpole of his Black Dragon banner onto the skywhale's armored back.

That was a tarnish that the Northmen would not permit.

A sergeant thirty paces away gestured his men to attack through the lingering smoke. But before they could switch bows for swords and axes, Ariadne had dove into their group, pierced through the leader's wards, and skewered his torso with the lance form of her Manteuffel Sword.

Shrinking her weapon to its 'normal' size, she pulled the twin-bladed sword out of the corpse and hacked towards a nearby archer. But with the penetration spell on her weapon gone, she barely even crack through his outermost spellshield.

''Use the--''

Reynald didn't even finish his thought when Ariadne drew a siphon with her other hand. Swinging it around from the left, she sent out a wave of liquid fire that instantly torched every surrounding foe.

Well... all except one. The last archer-turned-axeman was on the wrong side of her mount. So Ariadne urged Edelweiss to plow straight into him before trampling him underfoot. His wards and armor would ensure that his ribs stayed intact, but the hard impact would still stun him for a few precious seconds.

The white pegasus then broke into a gallop across the skywhale's back. Its rider, dressed in black-on-burning-red and billowing long pink tresses behind her, immolated entire squads with bursts of hellish flames.

It was a sight to behold... even if her accuracy was terrible.

''What is she even trying to hit...?''

Reynald took a closer look before he realized that Ariadne worried over more than just the Northmen troops. There were glowing, palm-sized lights that collected into groups as they somehow moved across the skywhale's back.

He wasn't sure what they were. But they looked far too similar to the magical anomalies that unleashed that devastating lightning barrage.

This time, Ariadne was taking no chances with them. Her flame jet reached out to torch anything that approached. Whenever it met one of those firefly-like swarms, the flames surged as though they met a patch of oil.

But regardless of how brave or skilled she was, Ariadne was still only one person. She had plowed deep into a defensive formation by herself, and there were simply far too many foes...

A dispelling arrow shattered the last of her spellshields before bouncing off her spaulders. But the bodkin head that followed buried into her breastplate near her thin shoulders. The force of the impact sent Ariadne reeling and almost off her mount, yet the willful girl not only held steady but even reached up for the lodged arrow.

Reynald then winced as he watched Ariadne break off the shaft without hesitation before tossing it aside.

For a brief moment, he had to remind himself this was his best friend's girl to not fall in love himself.

He traced the attack back to an officer who directed another squad of archers for coordinated volleys. With not a second to waste, the redhead shouted "''Phantom Charge''". The ether of his mount ripped away to form a blazing spectral charger, which rammed straight into those archers and exploded in scorching fury.

Losing his steed left Reynald plummeting through the skies. But with less than fifty paces to go, he also didn't care.

"''Aura Burst! Shift Impulse!''" He tossed aside the cumbersome lance and drew his trusty dual kukris.

With another thought and a rush of ether, Reynald transmuted his entire body into an arcing bolt of lightning. He slammed straight into the archer group that had been trying to shoot his best friend's fiancée before re-materializing, imprinting one last chilling smirk into their startled eyes.

"''Catalyst Dispel Burst!''"

A wave of antimagic blasted away from Reynald in all directions, ripping away wards even as he leaped back into the air. The short redhead then spun his body like an axle shaft, slashing away at all sides with twin whirlwind blades.

His first rotation hardly cut through their chainmail. Most soldiers thought bigger weapons were better for a reason, after all.

But the second rotation rose higher to more vulnerable parts, and those viciously curved kukri blades easily tore out five throats.

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

For a moment, Gerd watched with uncertainty as Reynald's reconnaissance squad charged in after their commander. Against an airborne behemoth crawling with enemies, the courage of a mere dozen seemed an almost suicidal move.

But it wasn't that which raised his concern.

Reynald didn't carry a siphon because they had no idea how the rimefire alchemicals might react to his lightning leaps. But the same restriction didn't apply to the rest of his command.

Engaging hostiles without support in order to probe for weaknesses was one of the duties of scouts. Therefore recon units always drew the best and brightest troopers from any company. In fact, Reynald's men had more of those inferno siphons than Gerd's entire platoon.

The secrecy surrounding the creation of rimefire meant that Weichsel had never been able to replicate it. Yet that never stopped them from using what they captured in battle to devastating effect. The eleven other men and women who landed on the second skywhale were still horribly outnumbered. However, firepower was a real force balancer, and none of siphoneers hesitated to turn the skywhale's back into a death pyre.

Gerd was still too deafened to hear any screaming from those burned alive. But the skywhale's painful thrashing was a clear indication of the damage they were inflicting.

Meanwhile, Kayeten and his dispersed 3rd Platoon charged the third skywhale from multiple angles, covered by several suppressive volleys coordinated by his ''Phalanx'' spells. Nevertheless, dozens of lightning bolts reached out from the leviathan as though it were a thunderous porcupine. Casualties mounted as a third of the platoon went down in quick succession. But their sacrifice allowed the rest to land and begin a bitter struggle for battlefield control.

''They're all putting their lives on the line to do their best, yet I...''

Gerd and his platoon had orders to clear the defenses of another skywhale: the first in that staggered row of four.

''I can't be the only coward to fall behind!''

It was tempting, so tempting to simply order another charge. But Gerd knew that his circumstances were different. Unlike Reynald, distance wasn't in his favor. Without Kayeten's ability, Gerd couldn't scatter his men -- it disrupted their coordinated warding and left them vulnerable to the runic arrow volleys. But if he kept the platoon together, he didn't see how they could charge across several hundred paces before being torn asunder by another lightning barrage.

To send his men into the jaws of meaningless death wouldn't be 'courageous'. It would be stupidity instead, born out of cowardice of a different sort.

''What would he do?''

Gerd eyed von Hammerstein's smoke obscured flag. The Black Dragon banner already flew in tatters from the arrows and spellfire that filled the air. But it still called out to the heart of any Weichsen -- signaling them to rally there, to fight on!

The answer should have been obvious from the start.

The Colonel, Ariadne, and Reynald had given him the perfect cover.

''...Those Northmen won't be able to hit me without striking their own!''

Gerd spurred his gryphon into action. He raised his swordstaff high above and waved it in a 'follow me' signal. His mount then galloped towards the same skywhale that Ariadne and Reynald fought on.

As he drew close to the beast, he banked sharply and rode across the leviathan's upper side as though it was a tilted road. Glancing back, he grinned as most of his men managed to follow suit. The caracole was a well-practiced maneuver, even if it wasn't normally used in this manner.

"''Idio...--ont!''" he heard a fuzzy telepathic burst from his second-in-command.

Gerd turned around just in time to see ten Västergötlanders adventurers charging down to meet them in close combat.

''You sorry bastards...''

Raising his swordstaff high with both hands, Gerd unleashed all of his pent up fury through a bellowing roar that popped whatever what blocking his ears. His foes seemed to hesitate even before his blade smashed into them, shattering a blocking polearm and sending five screaming into the open skies with a single bowling bash.

Searing pain erupted across his left thigh as some halberd cut deep into it. Gerd shifted his legs to make sure he could still feel them...

''Just a flesh wound then.''

Trusting his platoon to finish off those remaining, Gerd urged his mount to keep going. Being close to the edge left them within reach of the skywhales' tendrils, and Gerd spun his swordstaff to cleave a path through the mass of tentacles that attempted to grapple on. His men cut their way across in the least possible time. Soon their steeds left the skywhale behind, galloping across the air towards an even bigger leviathan -- the one assigned to his platoon.

''Well Reynald, I'm certainly picking on someone my own size this time...''

The faint, chuckling smile Gerd cracked at his own joke did wonders to boost confidence, especially as he waved his swordstaff once more before pointing it towards the looming armored beast.

"FOLLOW ME!"

With another skywhale behind them, there would be no arrow volleys, no thunderous barrage. The Northmen would just have to fight it out in an honorable close quarters melee.

Well, sort of...

As Gerd reached back to pull out the siphon attached to his backpack, he couldn't help appreciate the irony of the situation. The Northmen had always accused Weichsel of 'cheating'; surely, even they couldn't make such a claim now.

''We found this in the fields of Nordkapp. Now we're returning it!''

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

Ariadne gritted her teeth as she continued her fiery assault.

Her head felt light due to her bleeding wounds. After the first arrow that left an entire arm numb, she took two more hits as she made her way through what must have been nearly a hundred defenders. ''Mental Clarity'' spells did wonders in reducing the pain that clouded her mind, but even magic had its limits.

It really was a bad week for her to take wounds. Her periods had always left her a bit anemic. Ariadne didn't like to admit it, but moments like these really left her envious of her male companions in the unit.

''Price of the wiser sex I guess,'' she sneered as her siphon sprayed into yet another squad of Västergötlanders, right around the crotch.

One could always tell them apart since unlike the Skagen archers, the adventurers wore no uniforms. Even their arms and armor varied hugely. For the first time today, Ariadne had to dodge a throwing axe that swooshed by her head -- close enough that she undoubtedly lost a few hairs.

Even with her injuries, her horsemanship and reflex were still better than most. Two of Reynald's men had managed to catch up with her earlier. Neither of them lasted more than a minute in front.

Ariadne had already grown accustomed to the still-fuzzy but terrible screams she heard from those burnt alive. In fact, Parzifal would be horrified to know that in her current bloodstained mood, they were music to her ears.

''They're all heathens, murderers, and if one lets them -- rapists too.''

These were not her fellow countrymen. They were ''the enemy''. They killed her friends and threatened her family, which made them no better than rabid beasts in need of putting down.

Urging her wounded pegasus forward, Ariadne drove towards what had been the priority goal of the 1st Platoon. There was only one squad left between her and the skywhale's blowhole.

She never hesitated to press the trigger as she closed into range, not even as ice crystals began layering over the armor protecting the defenders' expanding girth.

For the first time, Ariadne watched as several opponents took blasts of rimefire without even flinching. She had heard the story from Kaede about a similar encounter; but at the time, she was certain the familiar girl simply had an exaggerated experience from her first battle.

Barely slowed by the immolating flames, four huge Västergötlanders charged her with polearms and swords. One of them actually tossed his zweihander at her, and she barely ducked down in time to avoid being decapitated by the large, spinning blade.

Ariadne then leveled her siphon again and held the trigger down, spraying liquid fire straight into three faces that stopped them dead in their tracks. But the burning fluid never reached the fourth. The siphon had ran out of pressure -- or so she hoped, because the alternative was that it was out of fuel.

But even pressure took time for the animated pump to build back up -- seconds that she simply didn't have.

"''Spellshield Fortress!''"

Ariadne brought her main defensive ward back to full strength for the fifth time as she guided Edelweiss to leap away. But she had already moved in too close to evade, and her opponent's massive glaive smashed into her pegasus head on.

Multiple runic spells discharged in quick succession as tiny pebbles popped off the polearm's shaft. Her fresh spellshields shattered under an antimagic burst right before a glowing, heated sword cut through Edelweiss' barding to discharge a surge of painful electric shocks.

The pegasus collapsed under her almost instantly, hurling her forward through the air.

Ariadne was certain she had just lost her first familiar.

Still trembling from the aftershocks, she broke her tumbling fall by catching one of the ropes covering the skywhale's back. By the time she managed to draw her sword again and stand shakily back up, the burning figure was already looming before her once more.

There was just no time to bring her sword back up, even assuming she still had the strength to parry an attack that nearly beheaded her mount in one swipe.

She would still try. But even as time slowed to a crawl before her impending death, Ariadne knew that this time, she had thrown her dice against fate and lost.

''I'm sorry Parzifal...''

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

"NO!"

Kaede impulsively screamed as she watched Edelweiss collapse and toss Ariadne into the air.

Her lip was already bleeding from when she bit down in anxiety. For minutes Kaede felt helpless as she watched one Weichsel trooper after another go down, desperately trying to think of some way to alter the situation.

Tactically speaking, the ''Ghost Riders'' were making progress. Despite being terribly outnumbered, they drove the defenders back through momentum, firepower, and sheer determination.

All of that achieved by paying a bloody toll in lives.

But this life wasn't just anyone. Ariadne was special to Kaede -- a figure of admiration, a gracious friend, perhaps even more had circumstances been different.

In the chaos of being tossed into this new world, the beautiful girl that exemplified nobility with her every step was the first to lend Kaede a helping hand. Kaede would never ever forget that awestruck moment when angelic lady congratulated her for thrashing Pascal while offering her some much-needed food.

''I am not letting her die!''

Kaede drew an arrow and notched it onto her bow.

The distance was around 800 meters (875yd).

The altitude was about a 50 meter (55yd) drop.

Even with one of these runic arrows Pascal finally made for her after the last battle, this would be an ambitious shot.

The arrowhead carried a ''Catalyst Dispel'' rune for ward penetration. The shaft's rear held a tiny quartz crystal with the ''Stormblessed'' spell to earn the wind's favor.

Her biggest opponent was the sheer range and the inevitable effects of gravity.

Kaede dislodged the arrow just enough to press its head into a rune on her left forearm. Perhaps too hard as it broke fabric and skin with a stinging pain, but she didn't care. The activated ''Air Glide'' spell could do more than just slow the descent of falling individuals; it would also drastically reduce the vertical drop of her arrow over long-distance flight.

Readjusting her aim once more, Kaede focused on the icy Northman through the bodkin tip.

''She is not dying. YOU ARE!!''

Unlike during the Battle of Nordkapp, this was no reactive self-defense. For the first time, her mind was filled with a firm determination to ''kill''.

With her fingers' release, Kaede traced the arrow's flight through the air. The Hyperion rotary fletching sent it into a mild spin as it traversed the distance over what felt like minutes in agonizingly slow motion.

Her drop estimates had hit the mark. Her aim was dead on. But...

Kaede felt her heart plummet as it struck the Northman's spaulder -- smooth, plated steel that deflected the shot with ease...

Right into the unprotected top of his neck.

Ariadne barely had the time to spin aside as the still burning corpse collapsed towards her before rolling down and off the skywhale's side.

"Oh thank you god," Kaede finally let out the breath she had been inadvertently holding.

Nothing short of a miracle could have explained that.

She was grateful. She was proud.

She was concerned but happy, joyous even, as Ariadne scanned in her direction.

Their eyes never met, but even from afar Kaede could feel a sense of gratitude -- even if it was probably just a prayer to the Holy Father.

As Kaede watched Ariadne recollect herself and press on with a lamed leg, a quote she had once heard made its way through her thoughts.

'Fighting to protect another was an ideal. Killing to protect another was war.'

For the second time, Kaede's hands have been bloodied by reaping the life of another.

This time, she didn't feel any remorse at all.

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

Pascal watched through his familiar's sight with near disbelief at what had just happened. It was harder to estimate since Kaede's sense of scale was so different, but he was fairly certain she just scored a bullseye across over a kilopace of distance.

The arrows he made for her certainly deserved some credit. Furthermore, Kaede's own elation proved that this had been a fairly lucky hit. Nevertheless, the feat went beyond impressive. Even targeting precision spells at a thousand paces was difficult, and ether shots were self-guided.

''I should check what the records are for long-distance shooting,'' Pascal made a note to himself.

Perhaps Sylviane knew. Since unlike him, she was a noble from Rhin-Lotharingie, and therefore actually knew how to handle a bow. But these days, Pascal had to actually work to preserve his image of a know-it-all in front of her.

For the first time in hours, Pascal allowed his lips to break into a thin smile. It was a proud smile tinged by envy. Prideful because Kaede was ''his'' familiar; envious because she had managed something that he could not.

No commander worthy of the title could watch his battle plan unfold and simply stay at ease. Pascal had sat there, seeing one squad after another charge into the bloody meat grinder, desperately wishing that he could be there to help.

But every soldier had a duty, a station that must not be abandoned. Battles were not fought by mere courage but through coordination and control. Charged with the command staff brought along for this engagement, it was Pascal's job to facilitate communications -- even if it left him feeling helpless as he watched his comrades met disaster and death.

Refocusing on the task at hand, Pascal sent out another order by telepathy. He could feel Kaede's concern as she watched Ariadne's staggering image from afar. But as the person responsible for calling up the next attack, Pascal needed a view of the bigger picture:

"<u>Kaede, status report on the other skywhales.</u>"

For a brief moment their empathic link soured into one of annoyance, but she nevertheless complied.

"<u>Well Gerd is making a mess of things on the first whale,</u>" Kaede shifted her sight to give him a visual of the bodies being flung off that airborne leviathan. "<u>Kay... uh, they're having more trouble with the third. Although that whale rolled partially onto its side -- probably because of the rimefire burns -- so the Northmen are having just as hard a time.</u>"

And of course, nobody was attacking the fourth skywhale. In fact, part of Kayeten's trouble came from archers aboard the last target. But the initial blow had left the ''Ghost Riders'' too depleted to tackle that goal. Under the circumstances, it was impressive they even achieved this much.

''Less than a third of their combat strength left...'' Pascal estimated von Hammerstein's men through Kaede's visual sweeps. With their initial momentum depleted and the defenders in greater numbers, it would not be long before they started losing ground.

''It is finally time then.''

Pascal then turned to the signal officer who kept a link with the ''Falcon Force'' company:

"Launch the last wave! Inform Colonel von Mackensen that target four is not cleared. I repeat, target four is not cleared. Be careful of the enemy's new mass lightning weapon. Spread out and commit extra strength from multiple attack vectors to ensure that it is sunk!"

As one of the only Weichsel mages available skilled with runic magic, item enchantment, ''and'' had a sufficient understanding of advanced alchemy, Pascal had made nearly half of those special munitions they carried. After watching the countless sacrifices his countrymen took to clear the way, he was more anxious than anyone to see it work.

The Northmen had played their trump card. It was Weichsel's turn.

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

Focusing her eyes across the distance, Kaede notched another arrow into place as she drew her bow into firing stance. A rather dramatic officer on skywhale two was rallying the defenders for a coordinated counterattack -- one that would surely drive the five remaining Phantoms off their whale.

''No. You're not.''

The distance was even closer this time. She had already made the shot once. She could surely do it again.

It took another handful of seconds before the officer collapsed with a mouthful of blood. The hit had been a body shot this time, right through the lung.

Kaede surveyed the battlefield again as she put down her bow. Her shot had bought the assault troops some more time, but the simple fact was that they had utterly exhausted their strength. Skagen defense units had rallied on all three skywhales, and by now they were pushing back Weichsel's Phantoms through weight of numbers.

The situation was especially bad on skywhale two where only a mere handful of attackers remained, each fighting desperately just to stay alive. Even as Kaede scanned for a target of opportunity, another volley of arrows rushed in and killed the last figure who fought by Reynald's side.

''They can't hold on any longer!''

Kaede pulled out another arrow and notched it. It didn't matter any more if her target was just some grunt at the head of a charge. She no longer had the time to spot only 'critical' targets. Time was now of the essence, and any individual foe she fell might buy her friends another second to survive.

Her fingers reached for a third shot the instant the previous shaft took flight.

''Faster...''

Speed shooting just wasn't something Japanese archery managed well, especially not when she originally practiced it as a meditative exercise.

Kaede felt her impatience simmering even as she took aim again. Her composure was working overtime to suppress the rising anxiety from penetrating her mind and degrading her focus.

But a single frontline experience did not make her a veteran of war. She simply wasn't trained as a soldier. The calm she required to make accurate shots was losing ground far too quickly.

"Crap," she muttered as the third arrow missed by a good two meters.

She had lost it -- her focus, her concentration, that feeling of oneness with her shots as they soared out to murder and kill.

"<u>Where are those darn reinforcements!</u>" Kaede lashed back at Pascal as she watched von Hammerstein take another spear stab to his shoulder before tumbling down the whales' side, his life or death now unknown.

A northern swordsman had at last reached the tattered Black Dragon banner and hacked it down.

"<u>They should be...!</u>"

Pascal didn't even finish when it arrived.

The shining armor of gyphons rushing down from dark clouds came as though a beam of divine light.

Deliverance had finally, ''finally'' arrived.

Unlike the 'fateful five minutes of Midway', the decisive moment of Nordkreuz was not brought to reality by coincidence, but through the willful sacrifice of countless brave lives.

The last Phantom company that had been lurking above the cloud cover dove down at a steep angle. Their dispersal was perfect, with two squads each sent against the first three skywhales, and their four best -- Recon and 1st Platoon -- concentrated on the last.

A cascade of thunder reached out from the fourth, untouched whale. At least a third of the assault wave there went down in an instant. But with most defenders distracted and the Phantoms in scattered formations, enough of them nevertheless made it through.

The ''Falcon Force'' company came in behind massive dispel volleys, hammering any remaining wards near each skywhale's nose. Then, just before they sped past, every knight hurled in their modified javelin.

Accuracy was poor, but quantity held a quality of its own. Out of two dozen or so javelins sent against each blowhole, at least one always made it through.

The javelins Kaede watched Pascal modify carried tiny compartments with reagent payloads on the shaft. Impact triggered two different runes inscribed into the weapon: an electric surge that blasted forward to paralyze the skywhale's nasal muscles, and a transmutation barrier that covered the air intake. The alchemy spell would combine the abundant airborne nitrogen with its payload to create hydrogen cyanide -- Prussic Acid.

Nothing visible seemed to happen at first, other than stronger wailing from the whales. Then, as the fifteen second mark finally passed, geysers of flame erupted from one skywhale after another as delayed action ''Fireball'' runes activated to ignite the poisonous gas that already spread into their lungs.

The result was almost painful to watch.

The gargantuan beasts buckled, tossed, rolled, and performed every physical motion imaginable in their agonizing death throes. Holding formation and altitude was impossible as they flailed through the air, shedding men and equipment as they went.

The battle raged on as falling northern mages activated levitation runes to stay airborne and retaliate. But these were mostly infantry or shipboard operators. With their organization shattered, they posed only a minor threat to the air combat specialized Knights Phantom.

Dozens of drakes in the distance abandoned their own battle and turned to their motherships' aid. Yet the Phantoms and Armigers they fought had no intention of letting them go. Their attempt to disengage had cost them dearly, and what had been a contested battle in Skagen's favor soon turned in Weichsel's way.

By the time the first skywhale began to plummet, the battle was already turning into a slaughter. The Northmen elite neither routed nor surrendered. Those that stayed airborne fought back in penny packets, and the organized Phantom squads that remained butchered them without mercy.

<nowiki>----- * * * -----</nowiki>

After ensuring that Ariadne made it off the falling skywhale, Reynald had summoned a new phantom steed to look for his men in the aerial chaos.

So far, he had only found one.

One, or two including him, out of his original squad of twelve.

His hopes weren't high either. His squad had done their duty. But in turn they had been decimated in the assault.

"Looks like they're holding out over there," the surviving corporal -- half-crippled due to a broken right arm -- called over to him.

Tracing the man's gaze, Reynald found himself staring at a tilted, sinking whale. The beast itself was probably dead, judging by the lack of movement and the smoke rising from its nose. But it was falling too slowly for there not be to any magic involved.

To effectively place a spell, even a simple ''Air Glide'', across a monster that size was no easy feat. Furthermore, there seemed to be a barrier of wind covering the hangar bay entrance in the front.

''Admiral Winter,'' Reynald instantly thought. He couldn't be sure, but he certainly couldn't refute the possibility.

...That was until he watched a squad of Knights Phantom charge in to clear this last stronghold. The wind barrier spat out a horde of runestones in response, and the massed lightning that followed tore the riders apart.

The thunderous barrage certain caught people's attention. Spell rays began flying at the entrance in the dozens. But the explosive barrage never made it past the wind. The barrier somehow triggered the spells as though solid matter. Even antimagic blasts only reduced the hurricane gales for the briefest of moments.

"Stay here," Reynald ordered his last squadmate as he urged his steed into a gallop.

He was exhausted, sure. He had done his job, true again.

Heck, he deserved a medal already, if he were to say himself.

''...But I'll be damned if I simply sat there and watched while more of my comrades died!''

The Knights Phantom needed an opening, and Reynald could give them that.

But facing off against Admiral Winter? No, he wasn't ''that'' suicidal. Dueling Pascal had taught him more than enough about the dangers of a prolonged fight with runic spellswords, let alone an archmage famous enough to be feared half a world away.

But Reynald also had an assassin's training from his mother, and one unexpected attack was all he required.

"''Barrier Armor Surge,''" he boosted his own wards for a maximized but low-duration burst effect. A ''Smiting Catalyst Dispel'' enchanted his weapons next.

Pulling up towards the skywhale, Reynald watched as another handful of stones flung out of the winds. With a clench of his fists, the short redhead once more transformed into a bolt of lightning. He arced around the incoming runes and rematerialized right before hitting the gale barrier that bulged outwards from the hangar entrance. Better safe than sorry, since he had no idea how the magical wind might affect his lightning form.

Unfortunately, he had underestimated its physical effects instead.

"GAHHH!"

Passing through the barrier felt more like leaping through a shredder. Reynald fell into the hanger and smacked hard on the steel floor. His uniform lay in tatters and bloody gashes sent searing pain across his entire body. Had it not been for his arcane and steel armor, he probably would have been torn to pieces.

After finally rolling to a stop, Reynald looked up with blood-covered eyes that dyed his world a crimson red. The Northmen warriors had been guarding close to the entrance, but three of them rushed over even as he gurgled up blood.

Then, he spotted his goal: a decorated naval officer standing near a bulwark, with palms outstretched toward the entrances on both sides and glowing runestone tablets hovering just beyond reach.

For a split second, Reynald's gaze connected with those anguished eyes. Like him, this man had seen too much blood today, watched too many of his kinsmen die.

But there was no sympathy in their brief exchange.

His instincts knew only one fact: this was the man he must kill.

''Winter your way out of this...!''

Reynald tossed the Bladestorm Kukri held in his left hand. He had 'received' the ether-storing kukri from the Mantis Blades' attack back at the academy. The weapon had perfect momentum conservation and also duplicated two copies of itself with every bounce.

But his arm had been badly hurt. His aim was off. The spinning blade merely ripped through the old man's billowing cloak after slashing through layered wards.

Though Reynald had been prepared for that as well.

''Armor Screen.''

What normally operated as a defensive ward curved around the Admiral like a protective bubble, enclosing the space against the steel bulwark. Within it the bouncing kukri, having already discharged its antimagic spell, quickly began to multiply.

Reynald never found out if the Admiral lacked the right prepared spell to deal with the unusual threat or if he simply didn't react fast enough. But within seconds, the exponentially-growing swarm of blades had cut the old man to pieces.

Which left three armed and now outraged Northmen surrounding Reynald.

''Too bad... I won't get to show Gerd my medal for this...''

Lying face-up on the floor, Reynald cough up more blood as he glanced over. Not at the swords about to end his life, but the fading winds that once protected the entrance.

''...At least I can tell the Holy Father that I did my job.''

Exhausted enough to sleep for an eternity, he finally allowed himself to close his eyes.

But there was no sharp escalation of pain. No ending of consciousness.

Instead he heard cries of agony above him, accompanied by an avian screech.

...The wail of a gryphon.

Reynald opened his eyes once more and there it was -- an armored gryphon of Weichsel standing next to him, with a middle-aged man bearing a Colonel's insignia riding on top.

As another spatter of blood flew across the air, the officer who wore a tall, bearskin hat with skulls and crossbones finally glanced down at him.

"Rest easy son. You did us proud."

Reynald spat out the blood in his mouth at he stared blankly at Colonel von Mackensen, commander of the ''Falcon Force.''

"Ey I-I'm not dead yet."

I have a question... when naming the Owl, Rudeus was trying to name the miko, right? so "Nurse" is probably meant to be Kankoshi (which means nurse in japanese), right?

Its commendable how much trouble the kind translator took on this whole chapter, but, I don't think you should translate names.

Are you saying that if someone was to appear, called Ren, we should translate her name as "Love" instead of just using Ren?

Maglad: /* Mushoku Tensei */

Hey, can I give a once over to some chapters? It seems like you guys are going for faithfulness to the original over proper english, writing phrases in weird ways, here and there.

For example saying "myself don't know" instead of "I don't know"

== Mushoku Tensei ==
Hey Maglad, the translators are sometimes using secondary translation and also focused on speed over quality. This is when editors come in and try to polish things.

Btw thanks for the attempt on interpreting the three people and wisdom - but it's actually a different concept. Always think of Japanese/Chinese proverbs or game/Asian pop culture context. In this context, it's the Confucian saying 'If three people meet, there must be a teacher of mine among them' or something along that wording (one of the olddd saying which exact saying has been butchered around) [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 09:04, 1 August 2014 (CDT)

Dear Maglad

Thank you for helping with the Mushoku Tensei project, I just wanted to tell you that vanant has already done vol 20 and did a great job.
Of course you're free to translate it again if you want , but it would be a great help if you could translate vol 18 or 19 since most of them are machine translations.

Best regards

Giorgio Wu

Wait, wait, hold on... volume 20 is coming out RIGHT NOW- Are you sure you aren't confusing volumes? I'm talking about the one centered on Zanoba.

Yes , he has translated the first 4 chapters of the zanoba ark, you can find them on both deviantart and animesuki.
But I have yet to ask vanant for the permission to post them on bakatsuki.

Giorgio wu

Oooh, I had no idea. Now I feel so silly for working on the chapter 1. Well, I'll send you a download link so you can take a look at it and decide if you want to use it, I guess. I'll try to start working on Thus the JSDF Fought There, then. I really wish people were working on it =)

Erh... can you explain me a little about the wiki? how do I send you a message without just editing this one?

A 34-year-old NEET otaku was chased out from his house by his family. This virgin, plump, unattractive, and penniless nice guy found that his life was heading towards a dead end. He recalled that his life could actually become much better if he can get over the dark history of his life.

Just when he was at the point of regret, he saw a truck moving at a high speed with 3 high school students in its path. Mustering all his strength, he saves them but ended up getting run over by the truck, which kills him.

The next time he opens his eyes, he had reincarnated to a world of swords and magic, as Rudeus Greyrat. Born to a new world and a new life, Rudeus declared, "This time, I'll really live my life to the fullest with no regrets!" Thus begins the journey of a newly made man. (Original from animesuki.com)

Gate - Thus the JSDF Fought There:Volume1 Prologue

2012-12-14T22:10:10Z

Maglad:

20××, Summer

According to records, the day was humid and hot.
The temperature exceeded 30°C, humidity was high, and due to the influence of a heat wave, the streets had turned into a scorching hell.

Nevertheless, it was Saturday. Lots of people were downtown, having fun, buying or window shopping.

11:50 am

As the sun was approaching it´s zenith, and when it looked like the temperature would reach a new record, in Ginza (central ward of the Tokyo metropolitan area), suddenly a "Gate to Another World" appeared.

Knights and infantry that, from the looks of their armor, seemed straight from medieval Europe came pouring out. And then... What came then seemed like it belonged into a fantasy story or movie: Fantastical beings like orcs, goblins and trolls.

They charged the people that, by chance, happened to be present.

Young and old, men and women, no matter the race or nationality, their objective was to slaughter everyone.

The people, used to their peaceful country in these peaceful times, had no way to resist. In this pandemonium of shrieks, they fell one by one.

The shoppers, parents with their children, tourists from overseas, one by one they were all trampled down under horse's hooves, pierced by lances or cut down by swords.

Heaps of corpses covered the streets, and the asphalt of Ginza turned the dark red colour of blood. "Hell" would have been a fitting title for the scene.

The troops of the other world stacked even more corpses on top of the piled up ones. Then, on this hill of meat, a jet black battle flag was hoisted. And with their loud voices, in their own language, they declared this place conquered and in their possession.

Although, since there was nobody to listen to them, it was a one-sided proclamation of war.

"The Ginza Incident"

This is how history will call this colliding of another world with ours.

　　　　＊　　＊

Shigenori Houjou, then Prime Minister, is giving the following answer in the National Diet:

"It should be obvious, but we have no maps of that land.

What is the landscape on the other side? What plants and animals inhabit those lands? And what kind of people live there?

What is their cultural level? What is their scientific and technological level? Their religion? We do not even know their form of government.

During this incident, a lot of criminals were arrested.

Using vague words like 'arrested' feels irritating. I used it, since our constitution and other laws weren't written with a situation such as this in mind. Thus, with this emergency at hand, our country has not decided on laws concerning the handling of prisoners of war. If we apply the current laws of our country, they are nothing more than criminals.

That being the case, at the risk of this being called far-fetched, my decision is to consider the Special Region as a part of domestic Japan. On the other side of the 'Gate' lies—so far unconfirmed—soil of our country. It can be considered to be populated. Even if a government exists on the other side, if we haven't negotiated with them, decided on national borders and established diplomatic relationships, they cannot be recognized as an independent nation. At the current stage, they are an armed group of terrorists that took the lives of innocent citizens and tourists.

I am also aware that some are of the opinion we should peacefully negotiate with them. However, to do this, we must make the other party sit down for the negotiations. But how can we do that? Realistically, we're not having negotiations with those on the other side of the 'Gate'.

We must get the powers that exists beyond the 'Gate' to sit down with us at the negotiation table. By force if necessary, even if we have to pin their heads down.

Before we can negotiate, we also require more information about them.

Regarding the arrested criminals... Since we don't have a common language, it has been slow, but little by little we managed to get some information out of them. However, there is no way we can rely solely on that. Somebody will have to go and confirm things with their own eyes and ears.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to set foot on the other side of the 'Gate'.

Still, we proceed towards uncivilized soil, and savages that massacred non-resisting civilians. We have to be prepared for a corresponding amount of danger.

In any case, going in unarmed is impossible. Furthermore, depending on the circumstances inside the Special Region, the possibility of war has to be considered. Who in that savage land is friend and who is foe? This decision has to lie, to a certain degree, with those on the scene.

"Going into a dangerous place on purpose is not necessary. Rather, it'll be fine, if we destroy the 'Gate' to prevent it from ever opening again". I know that a part of the opposition holds such views. "If we just close the gate, we are safe", is what they are saying, right?

From now on, the Japanese citizens will have to live their lives embraced by the insecurity of where a similar 'Gate' might appear next time. Maybe this time the 'Gate' will open in front of your house, in front of your family? Furthermore, there's also the question of how to compensate the victims and the bereaved.

If there is a government in the Special Region, and somebody there is in charge, as the government of our country we must firmly demand from it a sincere apology, reparations, and the extradition of all personnel responsible.

If the opposing party doesn't comply, we will capture the masterminds with our own hands and bring them to justice. If they have assets, we will seize them, even by force, and use them to give reparations to the bereaved families. This is, also when looking at the feelings of the victims and their families, natural. Therefore, we, the Japanese government, have decided to dispatch the JSDF to the other side of the 'Gate' as necessary. The objective is to investigate, search and apprehend the mastermind behind the Ginza Incident, and to forcibly execute the acquisition of reparations."

While parts of the opposition objected, both houses of the Diet approved the Special Region JSDF Dispatch Special Bill.

Furthermore, the government of the USA announces: "Regarding the investigations inside the "Gate", you have our full cooperation." To this, Prime Minister Houjou's replied: "Presently, there is no need for your assistance, but depending on the circumstances, it is also possible that we might request your help. In that case, we'll get back to you."

Additionally, the Chinese government considers it most appropriate if the supernatural existence called "Gate" is put under international control. "Just because it appeared in Japan", they say, "Japan shouldn't have sole control of it. Least of all", so their comment, "can anyone be allowed to monopolize the profits gained through it."

“I will dare say this has been a big fiasco. During this unprecedented havoc, what kind of measures are being taken? We want to hear your thoughts, Your Majesty."

Senator Marquis Casel, one of the aristocrats, was speaking towards the emperor, Molto Sol Augustus, while standing at the center of the parliament.

The senator believed that, if they are said within this chamber, then these questions can not be left unanswered, even by the one who occupies the emperor's seat.

薄闇の広間。

The parliament building, its stones carved with decorations, lost its solemn, stately and serene atmosphere. The terrace aligned along the circular wall, was full of men sitting on it with stern looks, while one of them stood in the circle clearing at the middle of the room.

Their number was about three hundred people. Senators represented the ruling class of the empire.

There are several routes to becoming a senator in this country. One is to be born in a house with authority. It's said that in the capital of this huge empire, if you were to throw a stone somewhere, you'll probably hit a noble. Thus, just being born a noble is not enough to get you a senator's seat. One must first gain recognition among the aristocracy, to even hope gaining access to the senate.

Aristocrats who were born in a prestigious house can usually occupy their position forever. Whether it was a position as a minister in the senate or a general in the army.

The bureaucracy is essential for the administration of the enormous, complex existence that is the State. If a person was gifted with enough standing, then he or she could choose between the path of the bureaucracy or the military. The deciding factor between military or bureaucracy was usually practical skill. Even for the third son of titular nobility, it was still possible to attain good position this way, as long as they had good luck, talent, and work ethic.

There are six jobs inside the palace: Minister, Prime Minister, Interior, Finance, Agriculture, and Foreign Affairs.

Those who chose to become a bureaucrat or soldier, and reached the rank of general or minister, were guaranteed to automatically receive senator position after retiring from their job. This way, even a commoner had a chance to receive a high position. The knights often compete in tournaments, as it adds renown to their names, helping to advance their status.

Marquis Casel was the son of a noble sire with the title of Baron, which isn't a particularly high rank. From there, he got his senator seat after serving as a minister. Senators who had to work for their position, usually had a tendency to take its responsibilities very seriously. As a result, they often appear as too enthusiastic to their peers.

Which is your native language? I was going to say you could dictate to me through Skype and I would write for you, but if English is not your first language, that may prove troublesome. Send me a mail about it, please. I´d really like to help but I don´t know japanese, so this is as much as I can do. Will check the grammar in your translation, as you requested.
