Part 1

In the sea region that is called the Great Orient[1],far from the Three Great Civilized Land[2],there was a continent.

Its size was about half the size of Australia, so itwas too small as a continent, but also too big as an island.

This land was called Rodenius[3],where three countries exist.

· The agricultural nation that was endowed withfertile soil and had an extensive farmland region, 『Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality』[4]

· The poor country with great desert expanseswhere it hard to grow crops, 『Quila Kingdom』[5]

· The human-only country who continue to discriminatethe demi-races like elves, dwarfs, and beastkin, and aim to unite Rodenius 『Louria Kingdom』[6]

Both the Quila Kingdom and the Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality,had one-third of their population composed of demi-humans like elf, dwarf, andbeastkin. For that reason, they didn’t maintain good relationship with Louria Kingdomwho sang the demi-human’s extermination plan, have a good relationship witheach other, and together they cooperate to oppose the Louria Kingdom’s threat.

✦✧✦✧✦

Central CalendarYear 1639, Month 1, Day 24. 8.00. Morning.

The Dragon Knight from the 6th Flying Dragon Squadronof Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality was under a patrol duty in the clear blue sky.

Clouds could only be seen at the far away horizon, sothe visibility was extremely high that they even could see clearly to fardistance.

In that sky, a creature that has a remarkably gallant figureflapped its wing.

A jet black body and sharp tail. If any modern Earth peoplesee it, they might call it the creature of the fantasy, 『Dragon』.

Atop that dragon, there was a person who wore a lightarmor.

The armor was of a simple design, but it was functionallystunning.

Maarpatima,[7]a Dragon Knight Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality was manipulating a flying dragon called 『wyvern』, and was a.s.suming the duty of patrolling the Princ.i.p.ality’s eastern area.

Even if he went to the northeast or east from thePrinc.i.p.ality, there was nothing but a vast expanse of sea, but since at thepresent time the state of tension continued with the Louria Kingdom, it was hypothesizedthat they might perform a surprise attack from this empty region.

As a countermeasure so they could detect it early, heand his partner flew on the Princ.i.p.ality’s northeast for patrol duty.

The sea that spread out underneath him, was the sea wherecountless adventurers sailed towards the east to search for new lands, butuntil now, no one ever returned.

「!?」

He found something.

「What is that!?」

He found something in the sky that should be empty ofanything but himself.

「An ally……?」

On this place that was definitely out of the cruising rangeof any wyvern that came from Louria Country, he came to the conclusion that itwas no other than an allied wyvern. However, he should be the only one who flewat this airs.p.a.ce right now.

Though there were wyvern mother ships called 『Dragon Carrier』 in the Three Great CivilizedLand, there shouldn’t be any of this ship in this far away land from the CivilizedLand.

The flying object that was small as a grain, graduallybecame bigger, and then could be fully seen.

As it became closer, he could confirm that it was notan allied wyvern.

「It doesn’t flap its wings?」

He quickly used the communication magic tools, alsopopularly called mana communicator, and reported the situation to theheadquarters.

『I discovered an unidentified object. Will engage to identify. The currentlocation……』

Fortunately, there was no great difference in theiralt.i.tude. To do a pa.s.s by with the unidentified object, he closed the distance.

「It’s big……」

He pa.s.sed by with the unidentified object.

The object was absurdly big than what he thought. Itdidn’t have flap it wings, but have four-something attached to its wings androtated at high speed.

The body was white and where a red circle was painted,the tip of the wings was giving blinking lights.

He made the wings of his beloved partner spread outsfrom side to side which then flap. The wind pressure became heavy as he flewfaster. The vast distance was covered in mere second…… but he couldn’t catch upwith the object.

A wyvern maximum speed is 235 km/hour. It was boastedas the fastest animal (though in the Three Great Civilized Area there exist superiorbreed), faster than s horse. But this supreme champion of the sky mobilitycouldn’t catch up with the object.

He couldn’t comprehend at all, just what kind ofanimal the object was.

「Kugh……‼ What is that? That thing‼」

He uttered the word of shock.

『HQ‼ HQ‼ Even if I want to identify the unidentified object, the speed istoo different! Can’t pursue‼ The unidentified object moved towards 『Maihark』[8] direction in the mainland. I repeat. It moed towards Maihark direction!』

The Dragon Knight Maarpatima, separated from thatflying object.

✦✧✦✧✦

Qua-ToynePrinc.i.p.ality. 6th Flying Dragon Squadron Base.

Kalmia[9],the base communication operator, did not believe her ears when she heard thereport that came from the manacom (mana communicator).

『Currently the unidentified flying object is in the airs.p.a.ce 130 km northeastfrom the base, it’s no use, can’t pursue‼ The flying object is really big and don’tflap its wing. The speed is far surpa.s.sing our own‼』

「Report the nationality」

Kalmia was considering the possibility of an attack fromtheLouria Kingdom that was in a state of tension with the Princ.i.p.ality during therecent years, so she asked for the nationality of the object.

『The nationality is unknown!』

「Is there a possibility of it being an elder dragon or something else?」

『It’s not an elder dragon and not a Louria Kingdom’s Wyvern. It’s unknown ifit’s a living being! Request urgent reinforcement‼』

「Roger!」

Kalmia quickly went to report the communication to hersuperior, the Base Commander.

「Unidentified object, you say!?」

The Base Commander asked Kalmia.

「Yes. The speed extremely surpa.s.sing our own, furthermore, the object doesn’tflap its wings, these are the report from the Dragon Knight Maarpatima.」

The Base Commander didn’t have any idea of what kindof creature that surpa.s.sed dragon. However, he remembered the rumor that therewas a country amongst the Great Powers that use non-living object called flyingmachine.

「Doesn’t flap its wings…… That can’t be.」

「The unidentified object is moving towards Maihark’s direction in the mainland.From the location of the report, it will quickly arrive at the mainland.」

It seems that the unidentified object is headingtowards their country at an ultrafast speed. He was panicked at the urgentprompt decision.

「W-what did you say!? Launch every standby knights of the 6th Dragon Knights‼ If it only a single object then there isa high possibility that it’s a scout, but if by any chance we get an attack,our army’s pride is at stake‼」

The fl.u.s.tered Base Commander pa.s.sed the order to thewhole headquarters who then became noisy like a beehive.

An unidentified object that couldn’t be pursued evenby wyvern and it was heading towards Maihark, a city that was the economic centerof Qua-Toyne Princ.i.p.ality. From the object’s speed, perhaps it was alreadyintruded the country’s airs.p.a.ce.

There was an order with the communication magic in thewhole base area of the 6th Flying Dragon Squadron.

『Every Knights of the 6th Flying Dragon Squadron, scramble! An unidentifiedobject is believed to approach Maihark and intruded our territorial airs.p.a.ce. Assoon as discovered, bring it down! I repeat, as soon as discovered, bring itdown!』

On the runway, the Dragon Knights of the 6th FlyingDragon Squadron and their wyverns soared to the sky in turns. The numbers were12 Knights, it was a full sortie. They soared high towards the clear sky.

The 6th Flying Dragon Squadron was lucky to confrontthe unidentified object from the front. The unidentified object that was just apoint in the sky, quickly became bigger before their eyes.

「What a mysterious object……」

「The h.e.l.l!? What’s that‼」

「A monster?」

Each of the squadron members muttered their impression.

「It’s so fast……」

The unidentified object quickly closed the distance.Its speed, even after considering their own relative speed, was extremely fast.

The object was just like in the report, it could fly atan extremely high speed.

The captain of the 6th Flying Dragon Squadron orderedeach of the squadron members using the manacom.

『Fire a fusillade of a power-linked flame ball. There is a report that ouropponent has a speed greatly surpa.s.sing our own. So there is no other chancethan when it pa.s.sed us. Gentlemen, let’s us show the result of our dailytraining!』

The captain cut off the manacom and muttered.

「…… What in the world is that thing?……」

The 12 Wyverns were lined up side by side and openedits mouth.

It was to perform a fusillade of the power-linkedflame ball. There are no flying dragon that won’t fall if this. .h.i.t.

Inside the wyvern’s mouth, the fireball gradually takingform.

Perhaps it had seen through their timing, theunidentified object began to climb up. The wyvern already flew at their highestalt.i.tude at 4000 meters, so it was beyond their expectation. The objectcontinued to increase its alt.i.tude with an absurd climbing power. The 6thFlying Dragon Squadron range of fire couldn’t reach that unidentified objectand so they disengaged

『This is 6th Flying Dragon Squadron, reporting to Headquarters. Wediscovered the unidentified object. When we prepared to attack, theunidentified object increased alt.i.tude and now moving forward to Maihark whilemaintaining its extra high alt.i.tude. I repeat ────────』
