“The Elysian Empire is quick to move… Even after a major defeat, it looks like they’re already starting the next battle.”

Jean muttered while looking at a report.

“Where are they attacking?”

“It looks like the Kingdom of Lacia. Lacia is the core of the Raddle Axis Alliance. This is going to be a big battle.”

“It’s better for us if the enemies take each other out, so we can just leave them be, right?”

“No, wait… This could be the perfect opportunity.”

Jean rested his chin on his hand, thinking. I had a bad feeling because he always comes up with wild ideas in situations like this.

“Alright, the Nirvana Alliance will also participate in this battle.”

“Huh! Why would we bother with such a troublesome thing?”

“There are three reasons. First, we’re going to end up fighting both factions anyway, so we can take advantage of this and deal damage to both sides. Second, it’s perfect for the first campaign of the newly established Nirvana Alliance army. Since we’re taking advantage of the situation, we can fight from a third-party perspective, which allows us to engage safely. And lastly, amidst the chaos of this battle, we’ll carry out the rescue of the hero and Princess Yukiha.”

“You’re always thinking about what suits you, huh? Even if you’re taking advantage of the situation, do you really think it’ll be that safe to fight? And to rescue the hero and Yukiha in the middle of such a large war, that sounds even harder to pull off.”

“Details like that are beyond someone like Yuta to understand, but I’ve already come up with a plan.”

“What do you mean ‘someone like me’! Well, it’s true I’m not opposed since I definitely want to rescue Yukiha and the hero.”

At the Nirvana Alliance meeting, Jean proposed that they participate in the battle between the Elysian Empire and the Raddle Axis Alliance in the Kingdom of Lacia. Thanks to Jean’s smooth talk, the member nations of the alliance only saw benefits and did not oppose the decision.

“But still, isn’t it a bit of a problem to show up in someone else’s war and stir things up? What will the public think?”

Aluna’s point was valid. The Nirvana Alliance didn’t have any direct involvement in this war, so forcing themselves into the conflict might look bad to the public.

“The official reason for the deployment is to provide protection and defense cooperation for the Alice Abbey, which is under the protection of the Amuria Federation, located near the battlefield in the Kingdom of Lacia. There’s no problem. We’re only going to the battlefield to protect Alice Abbey. If we get caught up in the battle, we’ll just claim it’s self-defense and that we fought out of necessity.”

“Another one of your forced arguments, huh? But the official reasoning is important.”

Linnecarlo, being a princess of a nation, quickly understood the importance of having a good pretext.

In any case, the Nirvana Alliance had decided to join the battle between the Elysian Empire and the Raddle Axis Alliance. There would be further discussions on how large of an army to send, but it was decided that the Musou Iron Cavalry would participate in full, and they would advance with the rescue of the hero and Princess Yukiha.
