The war begins.
Masato Yasaki loosened his collar. From the screen in the command center, he could see the Dread Emperor and Naraku.
This wave of reconnaissance drones was quite dense, swarming forward all at once.
Someone in the staff was worried that such density could allow Naraku to destroy them all in one sweep.
But Masato Yasaki knew in his heart that Naraku wouldn't do that.
If Naraku's character was as he guessed, Naraku would want an audience watching him crush the others.
If they were sent in singly like before, they might be destroyed; it was better to send them all at once, letting Naraku know they wanted to engage in battle.
Anyway, their movements couldn't be hidden from Naraku, so telling him in advance didn't matter.
Masato Yasaki stared at the screen.
The night was deep, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, while the Dread Emperor stood quietly on the earth, its towering silhouette exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
