Alizandria holds her hand out as six clouds fly out into the air. On their white surfaces, it depicts six different locations that are all in a similar state to the Haven.
Saiba points out a location, shouting,
"That's where we just were!"
He notices another saying,
"And there's the school!"
Gladius explains,
"As you can see, these clouds depict aerial views of all 6 Districts! Just moments ago, they were all attacked by what we predict to be the [Long-Range Lava Type Skill]: [Meteor Shower]! The exact source of the Skill has not been identified, however, we predict each came from the steadily advancing enemy forces! Based on the information given to us by Liz and the 4th Division, 6 groups are heading towards each District, varying in numbers from 100-120! They consist of various monsters with no sign of who sent them or what their goals are. They should be arriving in the next 10 minutes! Our goal is stopping the attacking army and regaining stability in each District!"
Gremly makes a suggestion,
"The one with the big building and that one on the very left look the most beat-up, so we should go there first, right? Let's go! Let's go! Fight, fight, fight!"
Gladius interrupts her,
"Calm down, Gremly! Now Freidrich, what plan have you come up with this time?"
Freidrich begins his explanation,
"I thought you would never ask, my King. To begin, reinforcements have already been sent to Districts 4 and 1. Sylvie and the 5th Division will also be providing support."
Sylvie replies,
"Roger that!"
Freidrich continues,
"Next, for the incoming enemy assault. Using the information Alizandria and the 4th Division provided, I've already formulated a strategy. As usual, Gremly and the 3rd Division will attack first. Make sure to keep injuries to a minimum and disengage once you receive the 4th Division's signal."
Gremly shouts,
"You can count on me!"
Freidrich keeps talking,
"Once the 3rd Division disengages, the 1st Division will advance with defensive support from the 2nd Division. This should be obvious, but do not charge in head first. They seem to have some powerful Long-Range Skill users, so try to deal with them first. The 2nd Division will hold the enemies off while the 1st Division targets those forces. Keep injuries and casualties to a minimum."
Rigurd nods with a slight grunt and Alvard calls outs,
"No problem! I'll show 'em hell!"
Raising his voice slightly, Freidrich announces,
"We're going to protect the Capital and our pride with this victory, alright?"
The commanders all nod in agreement at once. Gladius chimes in,
"With that being said, everyone knows their role, so let's begin, shall we?"
Loudly, Saiba stands up and shouts,
"What about us? I wanna help too!"
Gladius answers,
"I almost forgot! Lily and Lazaro can join the 1st Division and help with the main attack!"
Lily stays silent, but Lazaro's eyes glow as he mumbles,
"R-Really..? Th-The Legendary 1st Division..? Th-The Strongest Division in the Royal Army..? Only the best of the best are allowed in there and we get to be a part of it..? I dreamed about getting in when I was a kid and now it's actually happening! Yeah!"
Alvard mutters,
"If the King says so, I guess they can join... At least that kid knows what he's talking about!"
Saiba shouts again,
"But what about me!?"
Gladius replies,
"Of course, of course! I have a very special job for you!"
Saiba's eyes light up with excitement. Gladius announces,
"You're... staying... here!"
Saiba's expression quickly changes to a disappointed one. He mutters,
"I'm... what..?"
Gladius reassures him,
"Don't worry! You'll have a full HD experience here thanks to Liz's Skill, [Aerial Projection]! And we'll have the 1st and 2nd Division protecting your companions, so there shouldn't be any problems there!"
Saiba stutters,
"B-B-B-B-But I wanna help! It's my duty as the legendary hero of Estrelia to help the citizens!"
With a very serious tone, Lily mutters,
"Stay. You have a very important job, Hero."
Saiba shudders a little as Gladius says,
"Well, you heard her! Everyone, good luck out there! Fight and win!"
The commanders all reply,
"May the Great King's Fortune be ever in your favor!"
Hearing that Saiba thinks,
"I guess it actually is a saying they have..."
One by one the commanders dismiss themselves.
Gremly goes first, whistling as a gray wolf heeds her call and stands by her side, panting. She hops on and shouts,
"Ride like the wind, Fenrir!"
The wolf howls as it leaves the Castle at breakneck speeds.
Alvard goes next, picking up Lily and Lazaro by the collar and hood. He shouts,
"Let's get going! Time to give 'em hell!"
He leaps into the air, a trail of embers coming off of his sandals.
Next is Sylvie, waving back at the remaining people and saying,
"See you later!"
She jumps up as a stream of water appears under her and she rides it like a water slide to her destination.
Now, Rigurd goes, stomping to the exit and shouting as he runs away, tremors like earthquakes appearing with each step.
Freidrich leaves by silently waving and snapping his fingers as a lightning bolt shoots down, surrounding him. Once the electricity clears, he is nowhere to be found.
Lastly, Alizandria bows while saying,
"I will be off now, Great King!"
With a smile, Gladius waves back and replies,
"Stay safe out there, Liz!"
Her face turns red as she chants,
"Fly! Steed of the Sky, Bellerophon!"
Appearing beneath her, a puffy, white horse forms and lifts her into the air.
All that remains is Saiba and Gladius. The two sit, watching the cloud screens, intently observing the steadily approaching battles.
