Chapter 383 - Appearance

Charles and others saw the rough landing of the 10 Spacesh.i.p.s in the Stella Region.

'At the very least, the Imperial Flagship didn't land here.' Charles thought after confirming the Invader and Conveyor Spacesh.i.p.s that have just arrived.

Boom! Boom!

Another explosion occurred on the two Conveyor Spacesh.i.p.s that was hit by Wallace's Super Mesospheric Altitude Gun.

It seems that it did more damage than what it shows outside. 

"It's perfect time to start our attack…"

"Mhmm… Our forces are already about to arrive."

"Very well… Avalon said that they'll be sending out their version of Mech Knights to the nearby towns and cities… So our forces are currently stationed nearby to welcome them…"

"Alright, our Blaze is also hurrying to return. However, our main force is just waiting for the signal."

"I understand… Our Airsh.i.p.s and Wallace's Chronos would tie down the enemy's spacesh.i.p.s once they sent out their Mech Frames."

"Our Mage Battalion and Mech Knights would just have to deal with their smaller forces…"

"Is there any question?"

"Sir Slaine Allusia wanted to lead his elite forces once the spacesh.i.p.s released their ground soldiers. In case the Khrusam Race would go out, he wanted to deal with them himself, is what he said."

"Hmm… Isn't that good? Allow him to do what he wants."

The meeting finally ended as they started to surround the 10 Spacesh.i.p.s. The other towns around had also evacuated their people to the nearest shelter and some were even planning to visit the capital to ensure their safety. 

Of course, it includes Wallace's family living at the Red Star Town.

Wallace has prepared various shelters for them and even a spaceship in case they needed to escape the planet. Aside from that, Wallace has one floating island that will not be used as a sacrifice. 

Instead, Avalon reconstructed the surface of the island and created a flying fortress.

"Should we visit his factory first?" Elaine asked his husband… They are currently in control of their actions… Wherever they go, one of Avalon's Elysiums would accompany them…

On the other hand, Clarice is with her transforming Mech Knight to fight on the back lines… Although she has a powerful Mech Knight, her combat prowess can be a problem since most of her previous works are all related to being a spy or managing spies in other countries.

Of course, Wallace had also considered this and created some plans for her…

Chase and Elaine then brought their youngest daughter, Claire, to Mt. Ravencroft. As soon as they arrived, they found out that Wallace had also invited some people he knows to board one of his spacesh.i.p.s…

Now that the Excellence, Providence, and Transcendence were destroyed, only Trance was the remaining mid-sized ship and the rest are all at the smaller size similar to Chronos.

Elaine recognized some of them as Wallace's classmates at the Academy, and some of them were distinguished individuals like Miya, Lacus, and Yumi…

She knows that these three were always together with her son so she quickly recognized them…

Yumi was the first one to noticed their group and greeted her…

"Madam Elaine… It is nice to see you here…"

"Oh, Yumi, right? Thank you for taking care of my son…"

Elaine said replied after recalling that this woman is together with Wallace when they decided to explore the northern continent.

"It's me who should thank Wallace for taking care of me… Haha… Right, this is Miya and Lacus, Wallace's close friends."

Yumi introduced the two. Elaine greeted the two and wanted her husband to help her… However, the man who was supposedly behind her was already looking closely at Trance… 

"So, we will use this spaceship to reach the floating island? Is that correct?"

[ That's correct, Sir Chase. We are only waiting for a few more people before we take off. ]

"I see… After bringing us up there, will this be used to fight the aliens?" He asked.

[ It depends on the situation, Sir Chase. Wallace ordered that this spaceship will not be used in combat if it's not an emergency. ]

"I understand, that's reasonable." The man replied while looking fascinated at the huge spacecraft.

It seems that his son was truly a genius… Someone that exceeded Aeolia's talent…

***

Wallace used his Void Phase and appeared at the coordinates given by Avalon…

Based on their calculations, the Seiji Alliance's troops would still arrive in about 15 or so minutes.

However, Wallace calmly bathed in the ocean and stared at the sky like he was lost in thought… He's about to eliminate these magicians and he was thinking about whether to allow them to convince him about their decision…

'I guess I can ask them a single question… If they are really on their side, I must also eliminate their council…'

Wallace had a resolution on his face. 

"Oh~ Are you also planning to enter their city here?"

The young man suddenly heard a voice echoing in his mind… He took a deep breath before he managed to stabilize his breath.

"The Sea Creature's City? I'm very interested, Sir… However, I'm still unable to breathe underwater."

Wallace replied. Of course, he can use his spacesuit or his bio armor to help him survive underwater. However, he's not in a mood in meeting another species right now…

Perhaps, if this was offered before the Empire's Descent, he would gladly accept it and see what kind of creatures are they.

'Wait…'

The young man suddenly had an idea…

After all, his Trance is capable of being submerged as well. On the other hand, he's also curious whether the city actually has breathable air… This world is filled with mysteries and magic, it wouldn't surprise him if the city is in a huge bubble underwater.

"Sir, do you think that they are reasonable creatures?"

"Well, they are kind to me… They are even prostrating themselves."

"I-is that so? I'm trying to think whether I can create a shelter there in case necessary we're out of options…"

Wallace explained his plans… The Meredith Empire is allied with three Major Races and he had only seen two of them right now…

If the other race is just waiting for a chance, it means that this battle would become even more troublesome.

Fighting the Imperial Army was already too much and if he added the three other races, they might really be in trouble unless the imperial army was fool enough to fight the Celestial Beings in the northern continent.

"I see… Let me speak with them… Oh, are you going to fight this group of magicians heading your way?"

"Ahh… Yes… Depending on their answers, I'll have to eliminate them…"

"Ho~ They look so weak… You won't enjoy killing them."

"Sir, I'm not really enjoying that…" Wallace replied before ending their conversation.

However, he's actually thinking about how this Celestial Being has become very talkative now.

Compared to the first time they've met, it appears that he influenced their behavior even by a little.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The waves of the ocean can be heard as Wallace faced the Seiji Alliance… They have finally arrived. He emitted a powerful aura to let them notice that he's there…

They suddenly halted their advance as they surveyed the surroundings.

After they realized that he's a magician that is emitting powerful Mana pressure, they decided to communicate with him. 

"Are you one of the Deep Sea Creatures... Let us pass peacefully and you won't get hurt…"

The voice came from the airship above… On the other hand, the submerged Mech Knights were just observing and not doing any offensive action. After all, he's alone and would be barely become a threat…

However, their commander inside the airship has thought of something. It seems that he considered Wallace as part of the Sea Creatures and his fellow species was perhaps hiding under the sea.

Well, Wallace is too small and standing on top of the ocean so perhaps, he could easily be mistaken as a Sea Creature.

Nevertheless, Wallace achieved what he wanted and found the commander of this fleet.

He used his Void Phase and appeared in front of the man…

"What?!"

"How did you get here?!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Wallace appeared at the bow of the airship and met everyone. They quickly brought out their Mana Artifacts and pointed at Wallace.

The young man glanced at the commander of the spaceship. His clean and luxurious clothes allowed him to be recognized easily.

"I see that you're the leader of this fleet… Tell me, what happened in the negotiation of your leaders? Are you planning to use the aliens to destroy the other nations?"

Wallace asked calmly.

"Hmph! Why would I answer your question?! Tell me how did you manage to appear here!"

As soon as he said this, he realized that there is no reason to tell it to him now since his subordinates are listening.

"No, once I torture you… You'll be confessing everything… Men! Capture him!"
