"Sir Kouhei, that is very brilliant! Heh, youre a lot smarter than i thought" Says Albert to Kouhei with his teasing tone

"Sir Kouhei, we might actually able to win this battle, you give all of Nihin a hope wih this plan!" Says Mandela as she praised Kouhei after hearing his plan

Seeing the response of all the people in the room, Kouhei gets confidence that his plan would works out

Then, Heinrich put on his Ark Control Glasses, then grips the manouver handle of the Ark

Then, he lunges fowards towards the infected swarms infront of him, punching through multiple heads of the infected, instantly killing multiple infected at once

Then, the Arks behind him also following behind, they starting to killing the infected infront of them with Ark specialized assault rifles

Heinrich then start to coordinating the entire Ark divisions to opening up a path for the Infantry divisions to advance

"Prepare the way for the 1st Infantry Division to punch through!"

Then, the two division's colonel replies in the same with loud tone

"Yes sir! Understood!"

Then, Heinrich turns to the next Ark Divisions that will opening a way for 2nd Takuyura Infantry Division

"153th Ark Division, push through Sector 3 of the perimeter, cuts the swarms connections between Sector 4 and 2, dont worry, from my analysis, Sector 3 have the least the infected, you should be fine"

"And 23th Ark Division, helps the 2nd Takuyura Infantry Corps, 1st and 64th Artilerry Divisions, the Infantry divisions was about to advance to the Port!" Says Heinrich 

Then, all the Arks Operator answers in uni-son and starting to split up into 4 forces according to Kouhei's commands and Heinrich coordinations

Heinrich then mutters under his breath, his voice is full of determination and rage

"The Vampires...those little crap, they killed my older brother and infects my other older brother!!"

"I will not forgives all of them for it!!!" Screams Heinrich with rage as he also lunges foward to help his divisions

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Takuyura City, 64th and 1st Artilerry Divisions are helping the 2nd Takuyura Infantry Division to advance to the Port sector 

*General Of Artilerry Group Of Nihin Armed Forces, Grimmer Holsënhof*

Through his comms to all of the Artilerry divisions, hes coordinating the divisions tp support the North West breakthrough

"64th and 1st, continue to barrange the North West sides of the Port Sector, the Infantry Divisions from 2nd Takuyura Infantry Corps are going to launch an major offensive"

"98th, 122th, and 678th, bombards Sector 2 of the Port Sector perimeter, helps 86th Ark Division to destroy the biggest infected swarms"

The 3 Artilerry Divisions leaders replies with a unison answers

"Understood sir!"

It doesnt takes long after the replies that the 98th, 122th and the 678th Artilerry Divisions to start bombarding Sector 2 of the Takuyura City perimeter to the Port

Then, Grimmer contacting the leaders of the 13th, 97th, 41th and 87th Artilerry Divisions near the city's outskirts to check the evacuation conditions

"13th, 97th, 41th, 87th, hows the evacuation current conditions, report?" Says Grimmer to the leaders

The 13th Artilerry Division leader replies first through the intercomms

"The evacuation has been going smoothly, Officer Grimmer"

Then, the 97th Artilerry Division leader replies the next through the intercomms

"Yes sir, its been going smoothly, we're able to utilize Takuyura City's massive metro connections to evacuate all the citizens of the city"

Then, the 41th Artilerry Division leader replying too

"Dont worry sir, we're able to handle the evacuations alongside with the Federation's Police"

Then, the 87th Artilerry Divisio leader reporting their situations too

"Everything have been according to the plan, sir, we the 87th Artilerry Division have spotting one or two infected nearby, but its not a huge problem"

"The Backup Infantry Division stationed in the backline have taking care of it, so we're clear again" Reports the 87th Artilerry Division

Then, Grimmer replies to the 87th Artilerry Division leader's report

"Okay, just make sure that there is no infected near the evacuation area, we cant risk a life of the remaining 11 Million lives of Takuyura City!!" Says Grimmer with serious tone

Then, the 87th Artilerry Division leader answers with a serious tone too as he replying to the Grimmer's response

"Yes sir, we will make sure no one will dies again" Says the 87th Artilerry Division leader as he hungs up the calls, followed by the others leaders too

Then, Grimmer put the intercomms device back in his table and step out of his communications tent to observes the city

As he step out, he was welcomed by a heavy smells of gunpowder and screamings of the Artilerry members and the Artilerry firing

He then looks at the Port Sector, seeing the destroyed building in the battlefield, he then mutters under his breath as he pulls out a photo

"I will not forgives the infected for killing my older brother and taking my 2nd older brother..." Says Grimmer as he clenches the photo, showing younger Bismarck, Tripizt, Heinrich, then theres a baby, and younger of himself 

Meanwhile, the 1st Takuyura Infantry Corps with 2nd and 86th Ark Divisions are clearing Sector 1 and 2 in the Northwest of Takuyura from the other direction

The Infantry with their tanks and armored vehicle are pushing the hordes back, and providing heavy and long firepower for the arks to quickly sweeps, while the Ark are clearing the spots where its dangerous for the infantry to go

When an area is cleared from the horde, the infantry will set up an post for the apc carrying immediate supplies such as ammunitions and first aid to keep the infantry's movement going

Meanwhile, the tanks are providing medium fire supports and immediate help fire suppressions to the hordes with their what seems laser guided a 105mm caliber cannons, helped by the thermal sights inside the tanks and optimized by the firing control to maximize the impact of each shots

And 7.62mm machine gun providing closer and immediate supression fire

Ifvs with their autocannons are just behind the Arks providing supression fires too, to control the infected that are potentially can breach the advancing lines

But, some of the soldiers are unlucky enough to be bitten by the infected due to sudden loose infecteds, the only option for those who are already bitten

Are an death execution due to the Vampirism's seconds infection to take over

It was tragic, but, they cant lose hope, they have to keep moving...

They cant let this horde takes more lives than they already taking from them...

The ifvs keeps shooting at the incoming hordes, the tanks gives an heavy firepower, meanwhile the arks are starting to use their shoulder blaster, that shoot plasma powered Magi, which can instantly erases an horde in one wave of attack

The main force, 2nd Takuyura Army Corps alongside with 153th and 23th Ark Division, with the fire support from 1st and 64th Artilerry Division

Theyre starting to make an large progress, the fire supports from the Artilerry Divisions hits some of the densest concentrations of the infected

And, then, with the hordes rapidly decreasing and punch back, the forces finally launches an Major Offensive straight to the Port under the commands of the General of the Takuyura Army Group

The defected National Police are also helping defending, theyre using their anti-riot vehicles as emergency transport vehicle, and even supplying weapons and ammunitions

The sight was almosy unbelievable to see, humans, beasts, some dwarves and elves, are seen fighting together in the same, a sight never seen since the Occupation of Nihin...

Back In Main Frame Room, Kurumi approaches Kouhei, she wants to speak to him

"Kouhei-san" Calls Kurumi to Kouhei

Kouhei turns to Kurumi

"Hm? What is it?"

Then, Kurumi revealed something to Kouhei

"Kouhei, our radar have detected Darius's Fleets"

When hearing that, Kouhei instantly ask Kurumi the positions the the fleet

"You are? Wheres their positions now?" Ask Kouhei about the positions of the fleet

Kurumi then lead Kouhei to one of the monitors in the room to shows him the fleet's positions, her finger then pointing at one red dot in one of the corner of the screens

"Kouhei, what i am pointing right now, is the fleet's positions, but also..." Says Kurumi but paused int the end

Then, Kouhei speaks

"The Army of Darius, right? The Vampires?"

Then, many even tinier red dot appeared around the fleet's positions

Then, Kurumi speaks again in even more serious tone

"And for now, if the Vampires Army reaches the battlefield"

"Our army will be outnumbered 1 to 23" Says Kurumi

Upon hearing it, Kouhei was shocked to find out about the size of Darius's Vampires Army

Kouhei then starts trying to looking for a solutions, but he knows its futile, remembering that Darius is extremely strong, that it can wrestle Oruvi

But, he then trying to not think about Darius, as he was just realized that this panic reaction from him is expected from Darius, even if he doesnt see it by himself

Kouhei then focuses on forming a plan to counter The Vampires Army that heading towards Nihin

He knows the Federation's military capability, so Kouhei planning to utilize the Arks and the outskirt Artilerry divisions Group to clearing the Vampires Army

But then, Kouhei thoughts again, if the numbers are much as 1 to 23, his strategy have an incredible chance of failing, and ends up breaking his already strong formation

But...he then finally got an solution for it

He then asks Kurumi if Nihin have an air force, because he was going to utilize air force advantage to clear the earlier wave of the Vampires Army

"Air force? Oh yeah! I remember!"

"Ive ever heard from Doguffron or Zateg, that the one of many reason Beastrion doesnt annhinilates Nihin like other country"

"Is because he once got an report from his intellegence agency that Nihin have an powerful air force"

"And, i even ever heard from Zateg, when i was just promoted to Executive Officer, he met me personally, and told me another reason for Beastrion to puppets Nihin"

Kouhei was intrigued, he wants to know everything that might useful to him, and this one? Could be the one

"Whats the another reason?"

Then, Kurumi finally revealed that Nihin has once developed an weapon of mass destruction

"A weapon of mass destruction named "TFCB", or "Twisted Furesion Compressed Bomb"

"A weapon that able to compressed, and twists Furesion into corruption state and utilize its instability to create an massive explosions that even cripples atoms and physics into pieces"

Then, thats where it hits Kouhei, a weapon that powerful are once developed by Nihin?! He never knows it, even after absorbing the Data Base entire archieve, he never found the data about it

Then, Kurumi speaks again

"But, thats our only hope to tilt the battlefield into our favor"

"Without that, even with the air force, Oruvi, and entire Nihin's military, we're going to lose, no matter what"

"And, to make things worse, we dont know about the locations, no one really knows about the weapon or the air force"

Then, as Kouhei about to lose hope, Yui suddenly appears behind him, patting his shoulders before speaking

"Kouhei-san, i know...i know about the weapon and the air force, including its location..." Says Yui as she just drop the most shocking things to Kouhei and Kurumi

Kurumi was so shocked to hear Yui knows about the weapon, meanwhile, Kouhei pushes it aside asks Yui about the weapon

"Yui, you know about their locations?!"

Yui then starts to explaining about the weapon's and the air force's locations

"Yes, Nihin's Air Force are the first one established in any other Humanity's countries"

"We're the most advanced Humanity's countries"

"The Air Force, or in the Imperial Family, i was trained to say "The Last Hope", its Nihin's last purposed defense force of Nihin"

"Only deployed when the Navy and Land Force are cornered or even destroyed, rivals even Beastrion's Imperial Army"

"Also, i was told by my father, Farus Nishimura, that TFCB, are close to Ex-Machina or Androidus Race weaponary and rivals Artheria's strongest weapon"

"And thats why my father calls it "The Last Hope"

"For the location itself, it was on Nihin's deserts biome, 290 km from here" Says Yui as she finishes explaining 

Kurumi then speaks after a while of silence

"290km from here? Do we even able to reach it before the Vampires Army even reaches us?" Asks Kurumi

But then, Kouhei speaks again

"Well, i have an Portal ability, so transportation should be okay"

But then, Kurumi speaks again, this time a serious tone

"Kouhei-san! Aren't that will drains your stamina quickly?! Plus! You're human! Human doesnt have an enough strong capability to hold it long"

"You could even dies in the process!" Says Kurumi in serious tone

Then, Kouhei speaks again

"Oh well, then i will just opens the portal then"

Then, Kurumi speaks again

"But then, who will go to the Desert? No ones has ever brave enough to go to the Desert due to frequent massive sandstroms" 

But then, a hand grabs Kurumi's shoulders, Kurumi turns around and found Hofurz and some of other soldiers behind him

Hofurz then speaks to Kurumi

"Commander Kurumi, allows me and my subordinate to carry this missions"

Meanwhile, Mandela and Albert can just watching in the back of the room

"Hofurz..."

Then, Yui screams to Hofurz, her eyes starts to swells with tears immediatly

"Master!! What are you doing?! You dont have to-"

Then, Hofurz cuts Yui

"My majesty, i have failed to saves your parents from the purge of the Beastrion, and i even failed to protect you"

"You remember that night, dont you?"

Then, Yui was trown into a flashback, the night of the purge

The entire palace was under fire of Beastrion's fleets from all across from the sea

Then, there is severals Beastrion's army with full gears invading the Imperial Palace, killing every Imperial Soldiers guarding the place

Then, a younger Yui, was shoved into a secret tunnels by Hofurz

"Princess!! You must survives! Your safety and survival is my top 1 priority now!"

"But dont worry, i will make sure that the emperor and the empress also survives this!" Says Hofurz as he about to run out from the room

But, when he reaches for the handle, it turns out, that it was locked from the outside

Hofurz frantically tries to break out from the room to save Yui's father and mother, but then, a male voice was hearded from the outside

"Hofurz...i trusted you my daugther to you, please...please protect her at all cost"

Then, a female voice follows the male voice next, it was like she was sobbing

"Hofurz, takes Yui to this designated place, keep her safe in there!"

Then, a paper slips from under the door, Hofurz instictively grabs the paper

It contains some address on it

And then...both of the female and the male voice speaks at the same time

"Tell Yui that we loves her!"

And then...

KABOOM!!

An explosions destroys the door from the outside, flies Hofurz until hitting the floor, his head was heavily injure

Upon witnessing this, Young Yui immediatly breakdowns into despair

"Mom!! Dad!!"

She then comes out from the tunnel, trying to reach into the blazing fire, but then, Hofurz immediatly reach for Yui and then shoved her into the tunnel again

But, as he was about to follow Yui to the tunnel, a rapid movement was heard from the hallway

It was the Beastrion Soldiers...

As they was about to discover Yui and Hofurz, Hofurz immediatly stuffed the paper into Yui's gown and locks the door to the tunnel

Yui trying to open the door, but Hofurz speaks from the outside

"Forgive me, My Majesty..."

"You have to live"

Then, the Beastrion Soldiers finds Hofurz, but Hofurz quickly make the room a mess, that it covers the tunnel effectively, giving Yui a chance to escape through the tunnel

Then, a Beastrion Commanders appears from the blazing fire, its left eyes have a signature symbols

Kouhmah...

Young Kouhmah, who sees Hofurz in there, smirks upon seeing him

"Well well...isnt this is the one?"

"The one and only, Hofurz"

"President of The Grandmasters Of Nihin Organization, and..."

"The rumored, Nihin Imperial Air Force Commanders..."

Then, the flashback ends in Yui's mind, and it hurts her again...

Then, Hofurz steps foward to Yui, and then put a hand in her shoulder

"My majesty...you're a good leader, and peoples needs you"

"All of the events that happens right now...its never you, or Sir Kouhei, or Miss Kurumi to bear to begin with"

"3 of you are the youngs that are trown into this mess because of we, the older generations doings"

"This war..."

"This sufferings..."

"This destructions..."

"Let me, as the elder, and as an adult, to take this responsibility"

"And, protect the current, and future generations"
