Zero no Tsukaima:Volume14 Chapter6
Chapter 6: Tiger Highway
Being called ‘Gallia’s spine’ of the Fire Dragon Mountain, the eastern end of the location is extremely interesting. In the north-south direction from the watershed, Gallia and Romalia's border is divided into two.
At the bottom of the Fire Dragon Mountain, on a piece of the land facing the sea lays Akeleiya Street (艾克蕾亚之街).
It exists as a street, north-south of the Fire Dragon Mountain.
That is known as the 'tiger highway', a narrow street located in the valley that is up to more than 10 leagues long in a straight line.
Thousands of years ago, mages created it by taking advantage of the ground crack (地层断裂), (up to ten leagues long).
Eastern Romalia is the only way to get to Gallia so the streets are often crowded with merchants and travelers.
Left and right of this street are huge cliffs; there is no difference even at night.
When this street was built, there are tigers even in the darkest of days……man-eating tigers coming and going. The crusade team had to be organized again and again. When there were no more tigers to be seen in this street, rumours of bandits running amok was spread.
People who cross this street, see bandits and the former man-eating tiger as the same, giving ‘tiger highway’ its name.
However, there is stability in the border now, even robbers rarely appear. Only occasionally some very hungry bandits with no choice will patronise with no gloomy impression of the past.
Spots on both side of the street lighted up a long line of fire, TBA
‘Tiger Highway’ is one of Hal Genia main roads, a symbol of Romalia’s prosperity. On this street around Gallia’s customs, there seems to be some sort of dispute.
“What? Closed? Mr. (Chaiyi), what’s happening?”
In front of crowds of merchants and travellers, the big door was closed tightly.
“Cannot cross means cannot cross, just wait obediently for the release command”
A merchant squeezed out.
“Hey, wait, if the shipment cannot be shipped to Romalia tomorrow night, then I may suffer a loss, are you going to compensate me?”
“Don’t talk nonsense”
People who made use of the street got the (差役) surrounded.
“The Third Annual Enthronement Ceremony of the pope is coming to an end. Do you know how long I have waited for this day?”
"My fiancée is sick, I want to see her!"
A staff officer said.
“We don’t care so much. We just listen to the orders passed to us from the higher ups. For this reason, please understand”
The crowd looked at each other; at that moment……a knight came so fast that the horse could not stop in time, got surrounded by the customs people.
“Emergency report. Emergency report.”
“What happened?”
“Two(栖)fleet has rebel and are currently entering ‘tiger highway’”
Rebel? Enter?
“Don’t joke about rebellion, that kind of thing”
The knight did not reply. Instead, he looked to the sky. From the northwest corner…there were some black spots, getting bigger.
“T-two(栖)fleet!”
However, unlike the past, the tail of the fleet was not hanging Gallia’s warship flag. In other words, the fleet are not acting on Gallia king government’s orders.
“Now we should call them the anonymous rebellion fleet by right”
The gathered crowd looked to the sky with unease.
“Quick look, there seems to be something dangling from the ship’s bottom”
Someone shouted that at the central of the formation of more than a dozen ships, a dangling rope seems to be hanging onto something. Looking closely, it seems to be a human shape.
“What is that Golem? or is it(卡格伊鲁)?”
“They’re even wearing armour, so arrogant!”
Looking at the golem emitting a metallic sheen, the back of the (差役) broke out in cold sweat.
He appears to have felt fear instinctively and watched the fleet enter Romalia in silence.
“What kind of big thing is going to happen?”
The original two栖 rebellion fleet flagship was ‘夏露尔’.
On奥尔里昂’ s deck.
The fleet commander’s, 克拉威鲁卿 (it’s a name), had a sun-burned face after his long years of services and it expressed confusion and anticipation.
“Don’t understand. I just don’t understand”
He mumbled to himself effortlessly.
Having spent almost his entire life in the sea of air, he cannot understand what the lord’s intentions were.
“Pretend to rebel, turn Romalia into ashes”
There was only one order, one sentence, from the main commander.
From the cadets’ beginning 30 years ago, they have never received an order that is so simple and yet brutal.
He is more of a person who prefers to command a battle than politics. Most former colleagues who turned to the political line, are involved in civil strife, bringing them to their own destruction.
Bending his head, faithfully carrying out his orders… unknowingly promoted to Governor.
After experiencing several large-scale battles, his fame is rising just as his experience is.
Is this position really compatible with me?
In his mind, these issues often appear.
He was not really busy with his duties to the point of thinking about such problems.
Then, time flies.
Just as he was about to retire just like this, after getting more medals he would return to his own territory, if he’s free, he’ll go hunting for who knows how long kind of life……
“I’ll give Romalia to you”
That powerless king did say that.
If I can get a country, at least, I can lead a life like a noble. No…if it’s like Romalia’s that big of a land, I deserved to be called a king.
‘king’
An idea that he have never thought of before.
There is no sense of reality.
But, it has shaken the heart of (克拉威鲁卿).
“I thought I was a person with no aspirations, no, I’m definitely am……”
He mumbled under his breath, like he was talking to himself.
As he was questioning his words, a staff officer , 加利昂子爵(another name I don’t know), beside him spoke.
“After reducing the land to ashes, exactly what kind of regime would his highness build?”
There was irony in his words but not without respect for the king.
“Don’t know”
“Straightforward aren’t you?”
“How long have we known each other?”
“Should be about 10 years and more already”
“From the start to now, I have always been faithfully carrying out orders, regaining my composure I have my position today…got talent, this kind of thing, even if my lips crack I will not say, but…if it’s ambition, I can’t say no”
(琉加利昂子爵) replied with a tired voice.
“I’m the same”
“To turn what into how many ashes depends on my strength. For this level of arrangement, even the king would not want to say more”
“Well, will this operation develop smoothly? At St. Maran that guest... that mysterious woman and those Knight dolls tied to the boatman. If it’s them, they could really turn all of Romalia into ashes. After all, no matter how we think the command of the vessel in the hands of that woman"
(克拉威鲁卿) recalled that King Joseph had a female officer by the name of Sheffield. That woman exudes an ominous atmosphere. If it’s her, she’ll really burn Romalia into ashes without so much as a blink of an eye”
"Not only that, between non-commissioned officers , many people disagree with this operation. However, this is natural... according to rumor, the king have taken place in the flower Knights organization, the real rebellion, though it seems it was immediately suppressed. If we pretend that the rebel army launched a real rebellion, it will provide good material for future generations of opera to have "
“Later, every non-commissioned officers on the ship will be given territory, and the status of the Baron. (琉加利昂), you are the Duke. "
(琉加利昂子爵) nodded.
“It’s going to start. Speaking of which……”
“What’s wrong?”
“This conspiracy, how many people will live?”
This action is not war, inadvertently, (克拉威鲁卿), found this point.
This is simply a gamble only.
Romalia will or will not turn into ashes is also,
Becoming a king also.
The ship fleet will or will not listen to orders is also.
This despicable conspiracy was unheard of, but, it is difficult to get away already. The pain of his conscience holds no footing in the face of his slumbering ambition.
"Perhaps my heart is also longing for this gamble”
Their very own lives are the coins put into this gamble.
Extremely evil, there is no charity at all, this relentless gamble.
“On the left, the Romanian fleet" a Watch member shouted in a trembling voice.
On the( ‘夏露尔．奥尔里昂’)’s cannon deck, Second Lieutenant William was trembling with anger.
"What is happening, this battle, is there no righteous cause at all?"
The ship’s non-commissioned officers shared the same mood as Second Lieutenant William, from yesterday, they could not get the situation of the case and yet they got the command to strike and came all the way here.
According to news, is to fight a war with Romalia.
“I don’t understand…why must we fight with Romalia’s soldiers?”
The soldiers watched their captain with puzzled eyes.
The aide walked down from the upper deck to give a message to the puzzled soldiers.
“Fleet commander ordered that all those soldiers who participated in this campaign will have a special reward after the war. All non-commissioned officers are to be knighted and all soldiers are to be given noble status”
But even so, no cheers could be heard from the cannon’s deck, everyone looked at the aide’s face coldly.
"Compared to the reward, we would prefer to have a reasonable explanation. Why do we have to fight Romalia? Is Romalia not the ally of our country? Although complying orders is our duty, but this is too puzzling"
“Everyone back into places, we’re about to get into contact with the enemy”
Looking at the asking Second Lieutenant William, the aide ordered.
“Enemy, are you referring to the Romalia Army? Why would the Romalia Army be considered an enemy to us? Between us, what reason do we have to start a war?”
The cannon non-commissioned officers around Second Lieutenant William casted a skeptical eye to the aide.
“Why didn’t we hang our warship flag?”
“T-this is because……”
“ ’We just started the rebellion’ When I heard this kind of rumour, (现在岂不是有口难辩吗!) ‘Who’ exactly started this rebellion?”
“R-rebel?”
Unrest in the cannon’s deck peaked. Second Lieutenant William caught hold of the aide’s uniform.
"Even if it is to launch a rebellion, aren’t there existing rebellion procedures for this kind of thing, shouldn’t all the soldiers be summoned, to ask for everyone's opinion? What exactly does the captain and commander think?"
“Insolence!”
The aide pulled out a wand. At the same time, Second Lieutenant William and the other non-commissioned officers also took out their wands. The deck was filled with explosive air.
At this time, another messenger came.
“R-reports, Romania fleet approaching! Full cannons get ready! "
Hearing the report, the aide put away his wand.
“……if you have something to say, say it later. We have to think of how to survive right now”
“Damn!”
Feeling unwilling, Second Lieutenant William punched the wall.
接近过来的罗马尼亚舰队，总数有四十只左右。虽说都是新型的舰船，但在数量上远远不是总数一百二十余只的两栖舰队的对手。
即使这样，接近中的罗马尼亚舰队也有着一战的觉悟。暴露出船腹，列好战斗队形后，一齐打开了炮门。
然后，发出了警告。
“接近中的国籍不明舰队注意。前方乃是罗马尼亚国境，即刻返航，前方乃是罗马尼亚国境。”
对于对方是加里亚两栖舰队这种事，罗马尼亚舰队自然心知肚明。但既然没有看到军舰旗，如此例行公事也是理所当然。
克拉威鲁卿以实现准备好的台词回复道：
“吾等乃‘加里亚义勇舰队’。是不堪加里亚王政府的暴虐，为拥立正统的王而挺身而出的义勇军是也。希望得到罗马尼亚的协助，给予逃亡许可。”
纯属捏造的，过于勉强的理由。
但是，只要以‘为拥立正统的王而挺身而出的义勇军’自称，那么王权同盟就无法发挥效力。四国同盟，只有在对方是和平主义者的时候才有效。
“我们正在请示本国政府，稍安勿躁。”
早已料到的回答。
那么，例行问候已经结束了。
剩下的计划就十分单纯了。
毫无悬念的击破数量上处于劣势的罗马尼亚舰队，一口气冲入典礼现场，将吊在船腹的“骑士人偶”降下去……
接下来，就等着约瑟夫王直属女官，谢菲尔德下令了。
出乎意料的，罗马尼亚舰队继续逼近。
仿佛，看透了他们的计划一般。
“Do they already know about our plan?”
琉加利昂子爵whispered.
“Never mind. No matter what happens, they’re fated to turn into ashes”
舰队一齐调头，与罗马尼亚舰队并排在一起。
“Right cannon start, target, Romalia Army”
命令立刻传到了炮甲板上，随后，通过旗语传到了其他各舰上。
但是，无论等了多久，炮声都没有响起。其他的舰上也保持着沉默。
“怎么了，故障吗？快下到甲板上去看看。”
站在一旁的副官马上冲了下去，过了一会，又带着难堪的表情回来了。
“炮位甲板叛乱，拒绝战斗。”
琉加利昂子爵露出了苦笑。
“看来我们就是作为后世戏曲家的素材而存在的啊。”
克拉威鲁卿的脸涨得通红。
“甲板士官，拔杖，跟我去镇压他们。”
当克拉威鲁卿准备冲下炮位甲板时……身后响起了一个女人的声音。
“Commander”
“Is’nt this Lord Sheffield?”
拥有约瑟夫王直属女官身份的，神秘的女子站在那里。
她身上包裹着黑色的仿佛古代咒术师般的法衣，头上戴着足以藏起脸蛋的风帽。露出的嘴唇，仿佛鲜血般艳红。
“Put us down”
“可是……还没到艾克蕾亚的上空。这里还只是国境线”
克拉威鲁卿指了指下方的‘老虎街’。
“It’s okay. Time is precious”
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
谢菲尔德started to laugh.
“敌军根本不足为惧”
克拉威鲁卿被她的笑容，迅速带回来现实。
“向各舰下令，解除炮击战准备。投下‘货物’”
谢菲尔德没有回头，她为了跨上‘夏露尔．奥尔里昂’号悬吊着的约路蒙钢特，从舰缘边飞跃而下。
明明没有使用飞翔术，却身轻如燕。只见她抓紧了衣襟，飘落在约路蒙钢特的肩膀上。看见了她坐稳后，克拉威鲁卿命令甲板上的士兵，切断下吊的绳索。
从舰队中间位置的各舰处，可以发现接连不停地降下巨大的钢铁甲胃。这些甲胃的身上都背负着貌似大炮，巨剑，长枪的众多武器。
在近距离观看这一幕，可以发现它们竟然释放出与哥雷姆不可同日而语的压力。
巨大甲胄逐个缓缓下降。这大概是由于其内部搭载了能发动「浮空术Levitation」的魔法装置。不过，若真是如此，那便真可以称得上是令人恐怖的技术实力。
传闻中，这种甲胄傀儡的开发，似乎有精灵参与其中……所以它们有着强到令人发指的性能。
能将将大炮，好像手枪般操纵自如……既便是城墙也抗不住他们。
而且，由这种巨大甲胄傀儡所挥舞的巨剑，又会有何等的破坏力？
这世上又哪里会有能够穿透这甲胄的魔法？
光是想像一下，便会不寒而栗。
那个女人……那个名叫谢菲尔德——陛下直属的女官，是想将连她自己都无法完全理解的战斗扩展开来。
Turn Romalia into ashes.
这虽然是些没有实质感的话。但，如果凭借那种散发着凶恶气息的甲胄傀儡的话，却是有可能办到的吧。
“How can there be this kind of situation?”
虽说被欲望蒙蔽了眼睛，但自己竟然会想为此帮忙。
不能再和那些家伙扯上任何关系了。克拉威鲁卿暗自决定。
不算占据上空的舰队，在罗马尼亚这边，首先发现从天空降落的约路蒙钢特的部队，是在‘老虎街’出口附近展开的提波利混成连队。
他们接到命令‘警戒加里亚军的攻击’，在仪式开始的同时，便在这里担当起守备任务。
原本笑着说加里亚军根本不会发起进攻的他们，在发现上空加里亚舰队之时，便改变了想法，到底是因为何种理由，竟会真让亚里亚军队选择发起侵略？
在敌人攻过来之后，罗马尼亚军也已收到了命令。
‘无论敌人是何兵种，一概歼灭。如发现额头刻有文字的女人，必须生擒’
就任连队长的圣堂骑士，带着紧张的声音自言自语。
“加里亚舰队投下的那些甲胄傀儡……是哥雷姆吗？”
甲胄傀儡一个接着一个，蜂拥向被左右高高悬崖所夹住的‘老虎街’峡谷。
“I plan to borrow those golems, proceed with the fight?”
副队长摸了摸耳朵，嘀咕到。
“看上去，似乎没有其他空降部队……大概还停在舰艇上吧”
“Now what?”
副队长寻asked。
“不必理会他们。我们只要趁现在把他们各个击破就足够了。出发”
连队长充满自信地说到。他的自信是有其理由的。在他指挥之下的，并非仅仅是
枪兵大队。
他手上还有可能移动的‘炮兵’部队。
随着两个步兵大队向老虎街发起进军，那支‘炮兵大队’停下了吃草，慢悠悠地站起身子。
这些站起来的是壳长达四米的巨大陆龟。并且，在这些栖息哈尔吉尼亚南方的大型陆龟背上，正架着粗壮的青铜卡农炮。
They are the「炮龟兵」。
在哈尔吉尼亚，这是种很受欢迎的兵种。
与一般人想像的不同，陆龟并非是行动迟钝的生物。
而且陆龟还拥有承载重负的能力，通过它们，可以在战场上迅速布置大炮。据说，这种兵种的出现，完全改变了哈尔吉尼亚的攻城战。
负责操纵陆龟的士兵们，拎了拎陆龟缰绳，开始让‘炮龟’进军。背后着大炮，一脚一脚发出沉闷足音的陆龟，酝酿出一种并不适合战场的滑稽气氛。
不过，陆龟们背负的大炮，却与滑稽这个词完全无缘。动作迟钝的哥雷姆，若是挨上支炮龟兵大队的一轮击射，结果肯定是被轰得体无完肤。
进入街道，推进了约五里格的距离后，连队长下令部队原地止步。
那里是，夹在峡谷中央的‘老虎街’，唯一一处开阔的地点。左右并排着建筑，形成一个稍具规模的宿驿街。
平日总是车水马龙，喧嚣不已的地方。因为罗马尼亚已经下了禁止通行令，所以一个人影孔雀见。连队长就在这里展开了部队，守候着敌人。
在约一里格的前方，可以看见模糊的军队影子。连队长笑了。敌人大概是一群菜鸟吧。居然悠闲地让哥雷姆行军在如此狭窄毫无掩体的地方。
“那不是成了我们最好的靶子吗？下令炮龟兵，填弹”
操纵陆龟的士兵们，往大炮里填入炮弹。炮龟兵搭载的卡农炮，射程在二里格以内，想要命中哥雷姆这种大小的物体，必须接近到五时米的范围才行。
连队长静等时机的到来，想一口气消灭敌人。部队中也不断有人发出嘲笑敌人的交谈声。
不过，当那些‘哥雷姆’接近他们面前时，嘲笑顿时转化为惊愕的呻吟。
“披着甲胄？”
“怎么动作这么轻盈？”
连队长对于敌人的模样，感到一种本能的恐惧。
那绝不是普通哥雷姆。
“F-fire!”
被恐惧笼罩的结果就是，连队长急不可待地发出了射击命令。
炮龟兵的加家炮连续开火狭隘谷地中，响起大炮的发射巨响轰鸣。陆龟把头缩回甲壳中，作为炮台承受着射击的巨大后座力。
虽然并未完全进入攻击距离，但目标固定，而且已方的大炮门数众多。
炮弹漂亮地射向‘哥雷姆’群，周围被炸得一处硝烟弥漫。可以听到数发炮弹命中敌人响起的金属撞击声。
这可是大口径加农炮。
被命中的话，哥雷姆定是支离破碎……
然而……硝烟之中，那些哥雷姆竟然若无其事地继续行进着。
“毫发无损？”
副队长呆若木鸡地说到。
“不可能……那可是加农炮的直击啊？就算是城墙也承受不住炮龟兵大陆的一轮击射！”
“Next, fire! Continue! Hurry!”
不过，第二波射击却没用继续进行。‘哥雷姆’同时向着这里疾步冲来。它们手上握着巨型大炮。
“Those Golems can actually run! Are those really Golems?”
“They have cannons!”
“Wuahhhhhhhhhh!”
陷入一片恐慌的连队士兵纷纷丢盔卸甲，你追我赶地向街道出口逃去。
就在这个时候，约路蒙钢特手上的大炮同时开火。炙热的榴弹，在逃亡的连队士兵中开花。
一声远远超过刚才炮龟兵们发射时的巨响过后，落弹处的周围好像化为了地狱一般。在如此狭小的地点，塞满火药的榴弹爆炸开来的威力，实在是惨不忍睹。
提波利的混成连队，被一炮歼灭。
在一片火海之中，约路蒙钢特沿着街道南下，它们的身姿宛如撒播地狱的古代恶魔军团。
一位侥幸逃过劫的士兵，躲在脖子紧缩在壳内的炮龟旁，仰望着通过的约路蒙钢特，说道：
“S-strange monster……”
在艾克蕾亚的圣露蒂亚教堂休息室内，好像蜂巢般吵吵嚷嚷。神官们面对不断收到的国境附近的战况报告露出惊恐万状的神色，不安的气氛笼罩了各个角落。
圣堂骑士队的队长们为了赶赴自己驻扎在郊外的部队，已离开圣堂。在外面，由于流传出教皇突然中止弥撒是由于加里亚军发动了侵略，这个流言如星星之火般呈现出扩大混乱的趋势。
在人群中，安莉埃塔不知所措地，独自呆呆伫立在休息室之中。
纷纷扬扬的怒骂。
陆续到达的急报。
战争？
加里亚发动了战争？
这个现实，让她无法相信自己的耳朵。‘阴谋’已经失败，为何还要发起战争？
一位骑士，带来了在国境附近与加里亚舰队对峙的罗马尼亚舰队的急报。
“打过来的是加里亚的叛乱军！？”
得知这个消息的，并肩坐着的武官，付之一笑。
“叛乱军为什么会攻击外国？”
“因为被我们拒绝了逃亡请求”
武官们laughed loudly。
就连安莉埃塔，也不禁为这听到的这个粗劣的理由而摇头。
终于战争还是开始了，她暗自神伤。
她没想到加里亚军竟然真会不顾一切地发动战争。
这里是外国，安莉埃塔没有任何指挥权。什么也做不了的焦急感，在她心中燃起。虽然手上还有随行的水精灵骑士队和露易丝可以用。但他们之前已转为负责圣堂外的警戒工作。
安莉埃塔判断加里亚突然的侵略，有可能是因为罗马尼亚的挑衅所致。因为在国境不断囤积兵力，刺激到了加里亚。
只停留在识破‘阴谋’的在纸上谈兵，果然还是……她为自己的无能而咬牙切齿。
就在这时，常驻在艾克蕾亚的加里亚领事，带着自己的骑士，满脸傲慢地出现了。替代拜多里奥，担任临时负责人的武官团，站起来迎接他。
“太遗憾了，真是太遗憾了。这次，我国的叛徒们，给贵国带来了很大的不便。我王深表歉意。因此……”
察明事态的武官，毫不掩饰地对领事宣告道：
“无法贵国遣兵镇压。这里没有会引狼入室的傻瓜。你回去告诉约瑟夫。我们信仰固定的罗马尼亚精兵们，会把所有加里亚的异端一个不剩地全部消灭”
“What are you saying? This is my country’s rebellion. To them, my country…..”
正当加里亚的领事准备继续鼓动三寸不烂之舌时，罗马尼亚的武官一把举起法杖，指向他。一旁的神官们不禁发出惊叫。
“武官大人，武官大人，若是让鲜血玷污了圣堂……”
对着惊恐万状的领事，武官说道：
“失礼了，我们罗马尼亚的武官几乎都是由圣堂骑士中选拔出来的。希望你能原谅我的粗暴。不过，还请你多我注意自己的言词。对你们文官来说，语言就相当于是我手中的法杖。在拔出之时，请一定要有所觉悟”
领事点头哈腰地离开了。对于漂亮地回击了加里亚领带的武官，众人抱以热烈的掌声。
看着这场骚动，安莉埃塔终于真实地感到。
‘战争已经开始了’
随着教皇休息室的房门被打开，拜多里奥带着神官团走出进来。安莉埃塔顿时感到一阵气血上涌，她迅即走向那里。克制着想要扇对方一个巴掌的冲动，安莉埃塔心中涌起的感情爆发了。
“猊下！您打算为自己做的事负责吗？因为您的挑衅，加里亚终于发动了战争！”
“我的挑衅？”
拜多里奥惊讶地反问到。
“是的！由于您在国境上配置的军队，才挑起了这本可避免的战端！”
“您谬论了。若是不在国境配置军队，恐怕连留给我们开会的时间也没有了吧。正是由于军队带着拼死一搏的觉悟抵抗敌人，我们现在才能坐在这里商讨对策”
拜多里奥凑近安莉埃塔。
“为了杀戮‘我的同胞’，约瑟夫动用了军队。这件事不是如此简单吗？”
在短短一个交锋过后，便颠倒了是非。安莉埃塔流出悔恨的眼泪。
“B-but……whatever happens, there’s no need to use…”
“您误解了。安莉埃塔殿下。这场战争，并非是政治斗争的产物，也不是因为阴谋暴露而导致的失势之流，这与宫廷中的游戏，有着本质上的不同。这场战争，是事关双方存亡，势不两立的战争。识破阴谋，不过是手段之一罢了。并且，战争也是……其中的一种手段”
安莉埃塔呆呆地凝视着拜多里奥。
这位教皇的心中……竟然同时盘居着慈悲与残酷。
“交涉？调解？这种东西已经不会存在于这场战争之中。事已至此，唯有全力击败敌人。既然同为实力之国，只有完全同盟，或是完全敌对。除此之外，再无第三条路可行。这次事件，若您只将其认识是普通的外交，那便让我太为难了。恐怕，约瑟夫国王也是这样想的吧”
拜多里奥转头面前神并肩而立的神官和武官们。说起来，聚集在这里的，都是位居罗马尼亚中枢要职的大人物。
看着他们的阵容，安莉埃塔不禁自问‘为何此前没有注意到？’
'抓住阴谋的证据，逼近约瑟夫国王退位’
‘让精灵归还圣地，进入交涉’
如果交涉不成的话，又该如何是好？
双方老老实实地各退一步？别傻了。如果能办到这点，最初就不会有什么可操心的。拜多里奥早就看穿了这点。他一定是从最初就打算在交涉破裂之时，动用战争手段。一切不过是早一步晚一步的问题……
He said it before.
「普里米尔教徒们希望为愚蠢的争斗划上永远的终止符」
啊，从一开始拜多里奥就为了这个目标，而不惜把整个国家和所有人民都当作筹码，展开一场乾坤一掷的大赌博。
他把巨大的疯狂一次用尽，用来收搭所有的对手。
“加里亚的异端们，与精灵联手，企图消失我们。我作为始祖与神的奴仆，在这里宣布，发动‘圣战’！”
圣堂在一瞬间鸦雀无声，随后就像是煮沸的开水般涌动起来。
“Ooooooooohhhhhh！”
‘Holy war’
对于哈尔吉尼亚的人民来说，是场能改变一切的大博奕。
这世上，只有人才能进行的，无尽撕杀……
狂热不会收到约束。从这个瞬间起，他们将为了神与始祖普里米尔，成为悍不畏死的战士。
Henrietta’s legs turned soft and she fell to the ground. The 'Holy war' has been released. It’s either I live or you die, if they don’t annihilate each other, they won’t give up. This endless madness of war had finally begun.
It is already unable to stop; no one can stop this war.
身为当代始祖拜多里奥的这个男人，继续说道：
“To obtain this 'holy war' victory is to recapture the 'Holy Land' from the elves. Giving all the soldiers of the god blessings”
